Inside the security booth of Ziyuan Residential Community.
On the table was a cloth bag containing a dozen white crystal cores and two or three green crystal cores.
besides.
There were also three laptops and several mobile phones placed next to it.
The muscular man in the lead looked at the man in front of him with an extremely serious expression, and he was also a little nervous.
There were four other people standing next to the man.
With his sharp eyes, he quickly recognized the group of people as the same ones who had been active in the commercial street earlier.
No need to think about it.
The awakened one who used ice-type abilities was definitely among these people.
but.
It wasn't what they expected.
These people seem to be just this man's subordinates; the powerful ice-type awakener is not actually the leader of this group of survivors.
This illustrates that...
The man before me is an even more powerful Awakened One!
Lin Mo glanced at the things on the table, looked up at the boys in front of him, and slowly asked:
"What do you want to exchange these things for?"
“You should really need these crystal cores; we want to use them to trade for some food.”
After saying that...
The muscular man then stated the approximate amount of food needed, glanced at the computer on the table, and quietly added:
"besides."
"We have one more small request, which shouldn't be a big deal for you."
Lin Mo followed the other person's gaze to the computer on the table: "What are your requirements?"
“We previously discovered that one of the buildings in the community had electricity. You should have a working generator, and we would like to charge these devices.”
Lin Mo asked with great interest, "What's it for?"
Even if we charge these devices for you, you still won't be able to contact the outside world during a complete internet outage.
These words helped to calm the other party down.
The muscular man couldn't help but scratch his head, unsure how to respond for a moment.
It took so much effort.
You can't exactly say they have a female boss who's addicted to games, and that charging these devices is just for the purpose of playing games.
final.
He gave a vague answer: "We have other uses."
Looking at the other person's expression, Lin Mo couldn't help but wonder if Zhu Wei had actually guessed right.
That's all for now.
Neither of them spoke again, and the atmosphere became silent for a moment.
at this time.
The muscular man was under immense pressure; it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Did he order too much food and upset the other person?
That shouldn't be happening!
These crystal cores were obtained at great risk, and they are of great benefit to the awakened ones.
After seeing this man.
The survivor group he guessed was even stronger than he had anticipated, and he even reduced the transaction amount slightly.
In fact.
Lin Mo really felt that the other party wanted too much.
After all, back then, the people in the neighborhood traded crystal cores for food, as long as he asked for one-tenth of the food.
.........
After a while...
The muscular man, unable to withstand the pressure any longer, was about to take the initiative to ask for the other person's opinion.
At this moment.
Lin Mo suddenly spoke up, "I don't accept this deal. You've asked for too much food."
Upon hearing this, the muscular man finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "It's alright."
"Since you feel this deal is not suitable, then we'll discuss it again next time."
As he spoke.
As the muscular man stood up to leave, his companions reached out to retrieve their belongings.
Lin Mo spoke again, "Wait a moment."
These words were spoken.
The outstretched hands of the people around him froze in mid-air. The muscular man felt a jolt in his heart and a bad premonition.
Lin Mo slowly stood up and said, "Let's put the deal aside for now and talk about other things first."
The power problem has been solved.
He definitely needed to figure out how to deal with this group of survivors who suddenly appeared in the commercial street.
There's a saying that goes something like that.
How can I allow others to sleep peacefully beside my bed!
The muscular man dared not make a move and asked, forcing himself to be brave, "Is there anything else?"
"You came to my place without even saying hello. That seems a bit improper."
have to.
This is clearly a recipe for trouble.
“The commercial street has always been a public area, and besides, we are located some distance away from you.”
"We are here in good faith to make a deal. Please don't let things become unpleasant."
After saying all that.
Seeing that Lin Mo hadn't reacted, the muscular man guessed that the other party might also be somewhat wary of them, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
then.
He quickly gave his partner a wink, and the others grabbed their things back from the table.
A group of people turned and walked towards the door.
bump!
A crisp gunshot rang out from behind.
"I advise you not to make any sudden movements."
Everyone stopped abruptly, frozen in place, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.
rear.
The muscular man, suppressing his fear, slowly turned around and immediately saw the pistol in Lin Mo's hand.
Damn it.
This guy is an Awakened One, fine, but why does he also have a gun?!
It seems so.
They underestimated how dangerous this group was; these guys were even more dangerous than the group from the east!
.........
A gun.
This stunned the seven or eight people present.
Don't think you're invincible just because you're an Awakened One. Unless you're a weirdo like Zheng Guang, you're invincible whether you're a zombie or an Awakened One.
In the early stages of the apocalypse.
Most living things cannot withstand the power of firearms; never underestimate the destructive power of firearms.
Even someone as eccentric as Zheng Guang.
Lin Mo could have used a more powerful firearm to deal with him, but he was itching to play and decided to go down and have some fun with him himself.
"Now we can have a proper talk, right?"
no way.
The muscular man could only return to his seat and look at Lin Mo, asking, "What do you want?"
Lin Mo slowly sat down, gun in hand: "I'll ask, you answer."
"Where did you come from, and what is your purpose in coming here?"
“We are all students from nearby Aoyama University, survivors of the apocalypse, who came here to escape danger.”
Avoiding danger?
Lin Mo suddenly thought of the previous official announcements, glanced at the green crystal core in the bag, and realized that this was not something an ordinary zombie could possess.
It seems so.
This guy probably wasn't lying; even more powerful evolved zombies have appeared in the area around Aoyama University.
"Are you all Awakened Ones?"
"no."
Lin Mo was about to ask about everyone's abilities when two words immediately shut him up.
Not an awakened one?
Zhu Wei wasn't saying that these people could deal with evolved zombies; ordinary people don't have that kind of strength.
and.
They were just ordinary college students, not special forces elites.
But soon.
The other party then cleared up his doubts.
"Our leader is the Awakened One. She can provide us with some boosts, giving us the ability to fight zombies temporarily."
I see.
The leader of this group should be a support-type awakened being, but in a post-apocalyptic environment, can someone with such abilities really be a leader?
then.
Lin Mo inquired about the woman's information in detail, and she did not deliberately hide anything, telling him what she knew.
turn out to be.
This leader isn't just a simple support ability user; she can not only amplify others' abilities but also withdraw her power at any time.
and.
She can also boost her own attributes and apply negative buffs to her enemies.
It seems to be a very strong ability.
"What exactly do you want to do with the computers and phones?"
"Um...would you believe me if I said it was just for playing games?"
Goodness.
These people are really just doing this for fun!
.........
I asked them for a full half hour.
Lin Mo had basically figured out the situation of this group of people. It could be said that their survival in the apocalypse was almost entirely due to that leader.
certainly.
He didn't believe the man's one-sided story and had Zhu Wei and others interrogate several people separately, and the answers they got were all similar.
Lin Mo's gaze swept across the crowd, finally settling on a bespectacled man, and he slowly began to speak:
"You can go back now."
"Remember to tell your boss that if you're interested, come and chat with me."
These words were spoken.
The bespectacled man was completely taken aback, but he remained rooted to the spot, too afraid to move.
Lin Mo said impatiently, "Do I have to personally escort you away?"
Seeing this, the bespectacled man swallowed hard, not daring to speak, and cautiously walked towards the door.
The muscular man watched the other man's departing figure with envy, feeling incredibly conflicted.
Based on his understanding of the boss.
Once this guy brings the message back, the boss will definitely pack her things and run away immediately.
As for them.
What will happen to him next is unknown.
