Chapter 102 Eighteenth Birthday
Qin Shiyu's face changed. He had a vague guess, but it couldn't be verified now.
"Xu Xiaoyang! You're awake!"
Li Huiyin climbed up and said excitedly, "It's easy to enter the city. As long as you don't cause trouble and pay the toll, you can enter."
"That big brother said there are many people surviving there, and it's the most popular base in N City. It's just like before the apocalypse, people can trade freely, and food or weapons replace money."
Zhuci: "Then let's go in. It's going to rain soon."
Mu Ke glanced at the increasingly gloomy sky and said, "Let's go and line up."
The gatekeepers became alert when they saw the outsiders, but when they heard Zhu Ci was willing to give them a gun and some bullets, their attitudes changed immediately.
Qin Shiyu raised his eyebrows: "Interesting, it seems that a gun is very valuable to them."
The heavy wooden door was slowly lowered from the inside by many people. Before it was completely lowered to the ground, Momo jumped up and jumped in after hearing the command from his master.
As soon as they entered, they were surprised. Xu Zhiyang looked at the fields on both sides of the gate in front of him and saw that there were many people working in the fields.
The wooden door at the back was immediately erected again, and the sound attracted the people working in the fields to stand up and look over.
The gatekeeper who had just been talking to a few people explained, "Our gate hasn't been opened for a long time. Normally, people don't leave the base. This is the first time such a large dog has come in, and everyone is curious."
Li Huiyin asked with a smile: "What's your name, big brother? Where should we go?"
The gatekeeper pointed to the only main road and said, "Just call me Brother Cui. Go straight along this road. There is a market inside and many empty houses. You can find a place to stay."
"Thank you, Brother Cui!"
"polite."
After walking along the road for less than half a minute, Qin Shiyu wiped his glasses and looked over at the scene in front of him.
There were many stalls on both sides of the street. At a glance, there were about twenty or thirty stalls.
The things sold are quite diverse. Some sell snacks, some display vegetables and fruits, and some stalls display some small mutant animals.
They are all dead, it seems they are selling mutant animal meat.
"This base is different from the ones I've seen before." Xu Zhiyang said in a low voice.
Li Huiyin agreed: "Well, that's what the eldest brother said. Everyone is equal here. If you want something, you can exchange it for it. Everyone abides by the rules. As long as you don't cause trouble, and there are soldiers here to keep things under control, life is quite peaceful."
Momo walked through the market, attracting everyone's attention.
Qin Shiyu specifically found a remote place with few people as his place to stay for tonight.
Xu Zhiyang was a little absent-minded and forgot how to go downstairs. He went in to help everyone tidy up the house and then sat aside in a daze.
The five elements of energy continued to emerge in his palms, and five light balls of gold, green, white, red, and brown were spinning in his palms.
After a long time, Zhu Ci sat beside him, raised his hand, pressed the boy's hand down, and held it tightly.
"What are you thinking about?"
Xu Zhiyang stared at the back of Zhu Ci's hand for a while, and then spoke after a few seconds.
"I'm still thinking about Ah Yang."
"No idea?" Zhu Ci asked softly.
He pinched Xu Zhiyang's too thin shoulders, put his arm around the boy's legs, put him on his legs and held him in his arms.
It's so heartbreaking. My boyfriend actually has a heavy burden on his shoulders. The boy himself realizes that with such extraordinary energy, he is destined to have no peaceful life.
So Xu Zhiyang always listened quietly to Li Huiyin's yearning for the future. His eyes flickered and he dared not imagine his future.
"I don't know." Xu Zhiyang buried his face in the broad shoulders in front of him.
"Maybe Xiaoyu has an idea. I'll ask him..."
After saying that, Xu Zhiyang wanted to get up, but Zhu Ci held her down and prevented her from moving.
"They went out and said they wanted to exchange something for tonight's food. There are only two of us in the room now, so there's no rush."
Xu Zhiyang realized it later, no wonder he felt so quiet.
It would be a bit strange without Li Huiyin making a fuss around.
"Yangyang, you and Ayang have always been one person. I know you're actually afraid that you'll be a drag, so you even rely on Ayang to help you with many things."
Xu Zhiyang didn't say anything. Zhu Ci knew him too well. As a boyfriend, he could almost tell what he was thinking.
Yes, he had thought that he and A-Yang could be swapped so that A-Yang could exist longer.
"If he can do it, so can you."
Zhu Ci rubbed the back of Xu Zhiyang's head and whispered softly: "You two are one."
After being comforted by her boyfriend, Xu Zhiyang felt that she was able to fight again and could fight for another hundred years. She was full of fighting spirit and vowed to rush to City A to beat Han Zhiche up.
With this belief, and her injury having healed, Xu Zhiyang became full of energy again. She pounced on the handsome guy in front of her and gave him a passionate kiss that lasted ten minutes!
"Troublemaker."
Zhu Ci's breathing became a little rapid, and he pushed the person in his arms down mischievously.
Xu Zhiyang suddenly froze and dared not move anymore.
"When you come of age..." Zhu Ci didn't finish his words.
The meaning was clear, and he was obviously planning how to beat the guy up.
"Then you wait patiently, there are still nearly two months left."
After saying that, Xu Zhiyang teased Zhu Ci in a mischievous way and ran away immediately when Zhu Ci didn't react.
Even after he walked out the door, he could still hear the person behind him calling his name with a hint of anger and desire in his voice: "Xu Zhiyang!"
When he ran to the side of the road, Xu Zhiyang just saw his friends walking back. Momo was running around them, and each of them was holding a lot of things in their hands.
Li Huiyin rushed over like a gust of wind, carrying a bag on her shoulder.
"Look, look, look! Rice!!!"
"Isn't it spoiled?" Xu Zhiyang poked the bag of rice which weighed only ten kilograms at most.
"No!" Li Huiyin smiled happily: "The boss said that he had just stockpiled them before the apocalypse and had never opened them. The shelf life is very long."
Being so happy for a bag of rice, Xu Zhiyang also started to smile foolishly and suddenly remembered something.
Today seems to be this girl’s eighteenth birthday!
"Happy birthday."
Xu Zhiyang raised a faint smile at the corner of his lips, reached into his shirt pocket for a long time, and took out a bracelet in front of everyone's curious gaze.
"A present for your 18th birthday. I hope you'll always be this happy, Huiyin."
Several people came over, and Qin Shiyu pushed his glasses up on the bridge of his nose: "Is this a gold energy crystal? You strung the golden crystals into a bracelet?"
"Yeah." Xu Zhiyang helped Li Huiyin put it on. "It was a bit difficult to do. It took me half a month to get it right. Luckily, I didn't lose it."
Fu Qingbai felt sad watching from the side, and went up behind Xu Zhiyang to discuss quietly.
"Xiao Yangyang, can you give me a gift too?"
Xu Zhiyang glanced at him and asked, "Are you eighteen too?"
Fu Qingbai nodded without any shame: "Yes, yes!"
"Heh... eighteen years old in a dream."
Xu Zhiyang ignored him and looked at Li Huiyin and asked, "How is it? Do you like it?"
Li Huiyin's eyes were as red as a rabbit's, and she looked at Xu Zhiyang silently for a long time.
Suddenly, he burst into tears!
