After reaching an agreement, Xu Nuo pulled Zhang Xiaoxiao back to the basement entrance.
He said "Wait for me" and then went back into the basement. When he came out, he brought out two mountain bikes with gears.
Zhang Xiaoxiao noticed the bubble wrap on the mountain bike and asked, "Did you buy this before the apocalypse?" It was all brand new.
"Okay, you can ride the women's bike. It should only take us an hour or two to get to the south of the city. This bike is fast, and if nothing goes wrong on the way, an hour should be enough."
Without a word, Zhang Xiaoxiao took it, saying, "Thanks." Holding it in her hand, the unusual feel told her it was a high-end item. This kid didn't seem to come from an ordinary family, so it wasn't surprising that he had these things.
----Doomsday Dividing Line
Yuan Zhuan was woken up by the system in the middle of the night. Zhang Xiaoxiao from the apocalyptic world had already sent three pop-up messages.
Lack of sleep made Yuan Zhuan a little irritable. "Is something wrong at this hour?"
A strong sense of resentment came from the other end of the voice message, which even Zhang Xiaoxiao, who was not very bright, could hear. After an awkward silence for a few seconds, she said, "Sister, I'm sorry, I just found too many good things and couldn't wait until tomorrow, so, hehe... I'm sorry, I'll pay attention to the time next time."
"What did you find this time?"
"Hehe, sis, you'll never guess, I've found a whole street full of gold and silver jewelry, hehe!"
The silly laughter on the other end eased Yuan Zhuan's irritation somewhat. "A lot? Are there any others?"
"Yes, there are also raw jade stones for gambling, color steel factories, furniture markets, glass factories, door and window factories..." A long list of supplies completely dispelled Yuan Zhuan's sleepiness. "Wait a moment, I'll go to the place where the supplies are stored."
To avoid the Liu family, Yuan Zhuan climbed out of the window.
Based on the supplies Zhang Xiaoxiao had just reported, Yuan Zhuan figured that she would probably have to empty out her warehouse. So, when she went out, she also took with her the hundred thunderstorm talismans that she had recently rushed to make.
The phone rang loudly on Zhang Xiaoxiao's end, while piles of supplies in Yuan Zhuan's backyard and warehouse vanished without a trace.
Thanks to that gold and silver street, Yuan Zhuan's gold coins soared to 3,000, making Yuan Zhuan's eyes widen in astonishment.
If the voice recording hadn't been interrupted, I probably would have embarrassingly screamed out loud.
"Ding dong! Congratulations, host, the shop can be unlocked to level 2." The golden upgrade message reflects the system's current mood.
Upgrade required: 1000 gold coins!
Yuan Zhuan: ...Why don't you just rob me!
Ding dong, congratulations host, you have upgraded to level 2! The golden upgrade symbol is very eye-catching.
Yuan Zhuan clutched her chest; it was all her fate that had brought this upon her!
This system upgrade added medicine to the living area and talisman area, including Vitality Pills and Blood Stasis Pills, as well as Body Strengthening Pills and Hemostatic Pills. These are different from the ones that could only be purchased by applying to the system before. Each type of medicine is available in unlimited quantities. As long as you have gold coins, you can get Vitality Pills for 200 gold coins, Blood Stasis Pills for 3, Body Strengthening Pills for 1, and Hemostatic Pills for 2.
"These pills are of perfect quality. The human body in your world cannot withstand the full effects of the medicine. Each pill dissolves in ten liters of water, and the maximum daily digestion is 200 milliliters," the system prompted.
Yuan Zhuan's face twisted in anger. "Why didn't you say so sooner? I just gave each of them a blood-stasis-reducing pill the day before yesterday." While he was furious, Yuan Zhuan was already trying to find a way to make amends.
“Their chronic illnesses are difficult to cure, and the dosage of your blood-activating pills is just right to help them recover, while also having a certain health-promoting effect.”
"A chronic illness that's hard to cure? If it gets better all at once, wouldn't that be an even bigger problem?"
"Don't worry, host. They won't realize that it was your pill that worked. Just be more careful in the future."
"What if a whole pill is used for a minor injury?"
"Died from ruptured blood vessels." The system's voice was cold and indifferent.
Yuan Zhuan: ...
That's ruthless!! Why am I feeling a little relieved?
After the exchange was completed and all the stock was cleared out, Yuan Zhuan made a list, which he planned to send to Cao Ming the next day.
The lights were off and the doors were locked; the dark streets were unusually quiet today.
"Something happened at the orphanage on Tianzhu Street," the system's voice suddenly announced.
"What happened?"
"See for yourself." The system remained silent. Yuan Zhuan turned to look in the direction indicated by the system. The thick, dark yin energy was almost liquefied, blotting out all life in the orphanage.
"It's an Infant Fiend!!" Yuan Zhuan glared angrily. An Infant Fiend requires the extremely cruel killing of hundreds of infants to form!! It is extremely detrimental to one's moral character!
Transform into a talisman and ride the wind!
Yuan Zhuan disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.
Tianzhu Nursery.
“Once this batch is done, let’s immigrate abroad. The paperwork is almost done. With this much money, our family can live comfortably for the rest of our lives.” After saying this, the man put the abandoned babies that had been left at the entrance of the orphanage in the past few days into the open stroller. There were six children, all one to three months old, lined up side by side inside.
"Yes, I've already arranged for a group of foreigners who want to make quick money. They've given me all the paperwork, and I've also taken care of things at the higher-ups. Once this batch of adoption papers is processed, we'll retire from this business."
A woman in her thirties nestled in her husband's arms, with strollers full of children. It should have been a heartwarming scene, but only they knew that these children wouldn't survive the night.
"Take them down, those people are already waiting." The woman smiled as she tucked the children into their blankets, but her eyes were filled with cruelty. This was all money, a million each, more than they could earn in a lifetime. For this, they really had to thank those people.
The man pushed the rectangular canvas cart into the house, and the woman watched his back with a satisfied expression.
In a spacious study, there were only bookshelves on the four walls, filled with children's books, and colorful plush toys on the floor. As usual, the man pushed the cart to the designated spot, kicked away the plush toys next to him, took a deep breath to calm his nerves, reached out and touched the back of the bookshelf. The next second, the floor sank, and the cart and the man disappeared.
When Yuan Zhuan arrived at the entrance of the orphanage, the Yin energy had already materialized, blocking her way inside.
Looking up, she saw hundreds of infant souls intertwined at the gate, forming a huge soul sphere. The hideous black faces of the children opened their gaping maws like black holes, baring their teeth and roaring at her, as if they wanted to tear this intruder apart.
Those bastards!!
So many children were killed!!
With tears in her eyes, Yuan Zhuan stepped out in the Seven Stars Technique, her left hand outstretched upwards, her right index, middle, and ring fingers bent, and her thumb and little finger extended, placed at the base of her left palm. Incantations flowed continuously from her mouth, forming wisps of Yin energy that swirled around her body. She had to go in and see what was happening inside, but the infant spirits were blocking the door, and she couldn't bear to harm these infant souls. Therefore, she could only shroud herself in Yin energy to deceive their senses.
A lash of Yin energy, like a whip, flowed out from behind Yuan Zhuan, seeping into the surrounding Yin energy and beginning to peer into the memories these children had before their deaths.
The scene that appeared within the Yin Sha caused Yuan Zhuan's eyes to flash with a scarlet killing intent!
"They deserve to die!! Leave no one alive!!!"
