Chapter 323 The First Day of Setting Up a Stall
Gu Wan's clear voice came from outside the door. She leaned half her body into the room, waved, and called out, "Nan Nan! A Ye! Xing You! Sister Wen Qing—you're coming out!"
"Here she is!" Lu Nange called out to the door, then turned back to Grandpa Chi and Chi Qingyue with a smile, "Grandpa, Uncle, Wanwan is here. We'll be going now."
Lu Beiye picked up his backpack again: "Grandpa, Uncle, see you tonight."
Grandpa Chi and Chi Qingyue were still stunned by the shocking images of "ancestral divine strength," "innate extraordinary ability," and the nine-year-old child lifting a solid wooden table with one hand. Almost subconsciously, they raised their hands and waved.
Chi Qingyue murmured, "Be careful..."
Grandpa Chi also snapped out of his daze: "Alright, alright, my dear grandchildren, see you tonight..."
As soon as Lu Nange and the other three stepped out the door, Gu Wan reached out to take the backpack from Lu Beiye's hand.
Lu Beiye stepped aside and said seriously, "Sister Wanwan, I can carry it."
Gu Wan squatted down to look him in the eye: "Sister knows our little A-Ye is strong, but sister can't just sit idle, can she?"
Lu Beiye: "Alright, Wanwan, you can take one."
Wen Qingchao looked behind Gu Wan and asked, "Wanwan, didn't Ji Huan come with you?"
Gu Wan stood up: "My aunt and Sister Linlin are with us, let's go by ourselves."
It was still early, and the morning light filtered through the layers of tree shadows, scattering like shattered gold across the road.
The five people were not in a hurry and strolled slowly toward the trading market.
Along the way, you can see many survivors working: some are sweeping the streets, some are washing the ground, and others are taking care of the trees by the roadside.
Further away, a wood-type ability user placed their palm on the roots of a plant, and as soft light flowed, new buds stretched and grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lu Beiye looked up and said softly, "Sister, I like it here... everywhere here is full of life."
Lu Nange carried the four backpacks by the straps in one hand, and with the other hand, she gently ruffled his hair: "Well, barring any unforeseen circumstances, we'll be staying here for the next few days."
Gu Wan: "Huh? Nan Nan, are we only staying for a short time? Are you going to visit your uncle? Then we can go together... Um, Nan Nan, can you pack up my family and take them with you when you leave?"
Lu Nange chuckled and patted her hand: "What are you thinking? If we're going to leave, we'll definitely leave together."
Looking at the orderly scene around her, Luo Xingyou said, "I like it here too. It's simple, peaceful, and makes me feel at ease."
When the group arrived at the market, stall number three, which had been filled with wood-type fruits yesterday, was indeed empty.
Wen Qing and Luo Xingyou took out wet wipes and wiped the stall inside and out.
Lu Nange, Lu Beiye, and Gu Wan opened their backpacks and took out the supplies they had brought, arranging them neatly on the table.
Unlike other stall owners, the five people did not shout loudly to attract customers.
Apart from Lu Beiye, all four of them, including Lu Nange, wore masks and sunglasses, completely covering their faces.
Their clothes were too neat and clean, which clashed with the slightly dirty and messy surroundings.
People in the market occasionally cast curious glances at them, but no one dared to go up and cause trouble.
As they set up their supplies and sat down on the picnic chairs, the market gradually came alive.
Many people immediately noticed the medicines, puffed snacks, and instant food products on their stall and gathered around to inquire about prices.
Based on the market information she had gathered from the trading market and mission center the previous day, Lu Nange priced each item.
She wasn't doing it for money; she was looking for people and incidentally replenishing the base's scarce supplies.
For them, primary crystal nuclei are merely fuel for their RVs, hence the relatively low price.
"Boss, how much is amoxicillin?"
Gu Wan: "One level-one crystal core, or one hundred yuan in currency."
The person asking the price was clearly taken aback: "So cheap? I'll take a box!"
Someone nearby immediately chimed in, "I want a box too! How much are these snail rice noodles?"
"Boss, how much is the self-heating hot pot?"
......
In less than two hours, all the supplies they brought were sold out.
Wen Qing and Lu Beiye, who had been keeping a close eye on the passing crowd, shook their heads in unison.
Wen Qing said in a low voice, "No."
Lu Beiye: "Sister, we couldn't find Uncle."
Lu Nange: "Then let's go back today and come back tomorrow."
Wen Qing: "Mm."
They quickly packed up their stall, and Wen Qing and Luo Xingyou put their empty backpacks on.
Lu Nange stacked the five folding chairs together, quickly tied them tightly with a rope, and easily lifted them up with one hand before turning to leave.
The stall owners at the nearby stalls exchanged glances, and a middle-aged woman asked, "Excuse me... are you coming again tomorrow?"
Lu Nange and the others paused in their steps.
Gu Wan: "Are you talking to us?"
The middle-aged woman nodded: "Yes, I just wanted to ask if you're coming tomorrow?"
Lu Nange: "Is there something you need, eldest sister?"
The middle-aged woman quickly waved her hand, her tone sincere: "Don't misunderstand, we mean no harm... We just saw you selling medicine at reasonable prices, and many survivors in our area urgently need medicine... so we wanted to ask if you had any left for tomorrow?"
Lu Nange nodded: "I have the medicine, I'll come tomorrow."
The middle-aged woman repeatedly said, "Thank you, thank you! See you tomorrow!"
As soon as Lu Nange and her group of five disappeared, the tense atmosphere instantly relaxed.
Several stall owners and the surrounding survivors breathed a sigh of relief.
"This aura... is too intimidating," a stall owner muttered, wiping non-existent sweat from his forehead.
Someone nearby whispered in agreement: "I didn't dare to breathe, I was standing there like I was being punished."
"They're definitely not ordinary people. I heard the base commander's family members all came back... Could they be them?"
"Possibly! I heard that everyone has level four or higher superpowers, and they're all ridiculously strong."
"The news has already spread. They say they're a bunch of ruthless monsters who will beat anyone who dares to provoke them to death."
"I saw several team leaders go to the hospital last night. They were charred black all over and their hair was standing on end. It was a terrible sight..."
"It sounds painful. Luckily I didn't say anything, or we'd probably be burnt to a crisp by now."
......
As soon as she left the trading market, Gu Wan waved the thick stack of Flameheart Currency in her hand, her tone excited: "I actually sold it for over two thousand!"
Luo Xingyou glanced at the time: "It's not even eleven o'clock yet, their spending power is impressive."
Wen Qing: "Nan Nan brought out some rare and sought-after items that are not available on the market, so it's no surprise that they sold out quickly."
Lu Beiye looked up at Lu Nange: "Sister, where are we going now?"
Lu Nange looked towards the outer perimeter of the base: "I want to go out of the base for a walk and take out some supplies while I'm at it."
Gu Wan's eyes lit up: "Going out? Let's go!"
Wen Qing: "Nan Nan, should we tell your brother and the others?"
Lu Nange shook her head: "No need, we'll just stay around the perimeter of the base, fill the car up, and come back."
Wen Qing, Gu Wan, and Luo Xingyou nodded in unison, without any objection.
