Chapter 57: This will never happen again
Ji Wanwan looked back calmly.
The thin man did not have any energy fluctuations, but the burly man did. Ji Wanwan felt the same earth energy from him as Qi Hao.
The two men reached the door, and the thin man stepped forward, blocking their way. "Do you know where this is? Just head in, you won't be able to get out!"
Ji Wanwan looked at the man with a half-smile and asked, "I don't know why you came here?"
The thin man felt a little embarrassed after being choked by a woman who looked so frail.
Seeing that the attack was about to happen, the Wood Ability Awakener quickly stood in front of Ji Wanwan and said with a smile: "Brother Dong, my girlfriend doesn't know the rules for the first time. Please forgive her."
After saying that, he turned and looked at Ji Wanwan: "To enter the bathing city, you need to pay ordinary crystal cores, one per person."
One ordinary crystal core for one human head?
You’re welcome.
The situation was unclear, so Ji Wanwan didn't plan to rush in blindly. There were quite a few ordinary crystal cores in the system space anyway, so it wouldn't matter if she took out two.
Ji Wanwan took off her backpack, pretended to rummage in it, took out two ordinary crystal cores and handed them to the thin man blocking the door.
The man was delighted to get the crystal core.
He put the crystal core under his nose and sniffed it as if he was taking poison, with a crazy look on his face.
The sturdy man frowned in disgust and waved his hand to signal Ji Wanwan and the other two to go in.
Before getting on the elevator, Ji Wanwan glanced sideways at the thin man at the gate of the bath city.
The crystal core in the man's palm turned into a crystal beam of energy, all of which penetrated into the man's palm.
As the energy entered his body, the man's expression gradually became demonic. He looked dazed and started dancing as if he was high.
Ji Wanwan keenly noticed that there was an abnormal red tint in the man's eyes, as if he was infected with the zombie virus and was about to mutate.
But at this moment Ji Wanwan couldn't continue observing because the elevator had arrived.
The elevator went straight to the top floor conference room. A man with slicked-back hair sat in the main seat. The Wood-type Psychic stepped forward respectfully: "Brother Rui!"
Xiang Rui looked at Ji Wanwan behind the Wood Elemental with a playful look: "Hey, here you are. Why did you bring a woman with you this time?"
The wood-type mutant calmly blocked Ji Wanwan again: "My girlfriend wants to come with me to the black market to exchange for supplies."
Xiang Rui narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Taking a woman without superpowers to the black market, aren't you afraid that she might die?"
Ji Wanwan tapped her leg with her fingers, not wanting to waste any more time here. "How can we get a pass?"
There was something weird everywhere here, and she felt very uncomfortable. Her strong sixth sense drove her to leave as soon as possible.
Xiang Rui held up five fingers: "One pass, five ordinary crystal cores."
"What?" Ji Wanwan's hand suddenly tightened.
The Wood Element user also frowned. "Aren't they usually three? Why five today?"
Xiang Rui leaned back lazily on the sofa, put his feet high on the conference table, and said in a defiant tone: "There is an auction of special items tonight, and passes are hard to come by. If you want to buy, buy it. If not, get out!"
"Buy!" Ji Wanwan reached into her bag and took out 10 ordinary crystal cores: "Give me the pass!"
Xiang Rui was a little surprised by her frankness.
It is really intriguing that a girl without any special powers is not at all afraid when facing a strong man with special powers like him in the end times.
His eyes fell on the backpack in Ji Wanwan's hand. He took two thin cards from the table beside him and held them between his fingertips, motioning Ji Wanwan to take them.
The wood-type mutant quickly stepped forward: "Thank you, Brother Rui..."
As soon as he finished speaking, before his hand even touched the pass, Xiang Rui withdrew his hand and looked past him at Ji Wanwan: "She gave the crystal core, she came to take it."
The wood-type ability user's expression suddenly turned ugly.
He looked at the pass hesitantly, without moving or calling Ji Wanwan forward.
It's hard to tell that this man still has some heroic spirit.
However, in the end times, this kind of heroism will not bring him any benefits, but will push him into an endless abyss.
Ji Wanwan took the initiative to step forward and patted the man's shoulder soothingly: "It's okay, I'll get it."
The wood-type mutant moved his lips, but seeing the determination and fearlessness in Ji Wanwan's eyes, he chose to remain silent.
Ji Wanwan reached out to take the pass, Xiang Rui's pupils dilated and his smile deepened.
Sure enough, the moment Ji Wanwan touched the pass, Xiang Rui took the pass away, grabbed Ji Wanwan's wrist, and pulled her into his arms.
The skin touched by his fingertips was delicate and smooth, and Xiang Rui felt a little distracted.
Why aren't there such top-notch people in the guild?
He looked at the wood-type mutant dimly: "Wen Yuheng, you seem to be eating well..."
It turns out his name is Wen Yuheng, which is a nice name.
Wen Yuheng's handsome face flushed instantly: "Brother Rui, we can talk it over. Please let Ji...let go of my girlfriend!"
Xiang Rui obviously didn't take Wen Yuheng seriously: "What if I don't?"
The aura around Wen Yuheng became noticeably stronger. Sensing his intention to take action, Ji Wanwan snorted and chuckled, took the pass from Xiang Rui's hand, and left Xiang Rui's arms as nimbly as a snake.
She held the pass between her fingers and smiled coquettishly: "Brother Rui, my Yuheng has always had a good temper, but I have always had a bad temper. This kind of thing will not happen again~"
The crisp and sweet voice made Xiang Rui feel itchy, and he thought Ji Wanwan was just flirting.
He twirled his fingertips with a hint of unfulfilled desire: "Oh, see you at the black market tonight. I want to see if you won't do it again..."
Seeing that Xiang Rui had no intention of making things difficult for her, Ji Wanwan stopped pestering him and pulled Wen Yuheng away.
It was still early, but the two did not return to the base. Instead, they drove to a home furnishing city.
The two got out of the car, killed zombies along the way, came to a relatively clean model room, locked the door and rested.
"Wen Yuheng, you seem to be very familiar with those people in the bathing city and the black market?"
Ji Wanwan put down her bag, lazily nestled into the lazy sofa, and used two points to exchange for a cup of milk tea from the system mall, which she sipped in her hand.
Wen Yuheng was surprised to see the sudden increase in milk tea, but he still answered the question honestly: "I'm not familiar with them, but I come here so often that I have a general understanding of them."
Ji Wanwan sat up straighter: "Tell me everything you know."
Wen Yuheng thought that since he had decided to cooperate with Ji Wanwan, being honest with each other was the most basic principle.
"The black market in the underground casino is run by a union called Bai Ze. Rumor has it that its president, Bai Ze, has mastered dual abilities, making him the strongest of all the awakened beings known to date.
Bai Ze has four elders under him, namely, Pixiao Xiang Rui, Taotie Hu Peng, Jiaozi Xiong Biao, and Suanni Zhao Liang..."
