"I don't know what happened, but I suddenly awakened my superpowers." Chu Qi put all his belongings into the space.
The space is not small, and the pots, pans, and utensils only take up a small area, and it is estimated that a lot of supplies can be placed there.
"That's great, this way our things won't be stolen." Although there was nothing to steal including the pots, pans, and utensils.
Chu Xuan looked at Chu Qi with sparkling eyes: "Now that we have space, can we travel light to look for our parents?"
Poor silly girl, she had no idea her parents were dead.
It is not easy to find food in the end times, and the original owner's parents often stay away for several days.
If someone hadn't brought the news to the original owner, the original owner wouldn't have known that his parents had passed away.
The original owner did not tell her sister about this matter, but instead wanted to use her to gain benefits.
"My parents passed away three days ago." Chu Qi did not hide it any further and told Chu Xuan about it.
Chu Xuan was stunned. She didn't react for a while, and after a while, tears welled up in her eyes and she broke down and sobbed softly.
"Let's go. From now on, we will just have to depend on each other." Chu Qi held Chu Xuan's hand, "We must leave as soon as possible."
"Hmm..." Chu Xuan was in a heavy mood, but she also knew that now was not the time to be willful. She cried while letting her brother drag her on an unknown journey.
.....
The sky was turning pale and the fiery red sun slowly rose above the horizon.
Chu Qi walked with her sister all night, away from the original scavengers' territory, but entered another scavenger base.
The brother and sister were both so hungry that their faces were pale and their bodies were thin. They had not a pound of flesh on their bodies, no luggage at all, and their lips were chapped. They walked into the scavenging area in the early morning sun.
There is no order in the scavenging area and anyone can come.
Anyone can be a scavenger.
However, there is a limited amount of garbage. If one more person picks it up, others will have less to pick up.
This is a plunder of resources.
It doesn't look like it has much offensive power and is a competitor.
As soon as the brother and sister stepped into the area, they were secretly watched by many scavengers.
Their malicious gazes swept over the two of them. In a dilapidated building somewhere, three tall and thin men whispered to each other, pointed at Chu Qi, and then walked towards her.
Everyone carried a big bag on their back and walked with great vigor.
Chu Qi stopped and became secretly alert.
Feeling their malice that was almost tangible, Chu Xuan couldn't help but think of what happened last night. As she was still young, she felt an uncontrollable fear in her heart.
She quietly took a step back and grabbed the corner of her brother's clothes to seek some comfort.
Unexpectedly, the corners of the clothes had become fragile after the turmoil of the end of the world.
In a panic, she grabbed the corner of the clothes and tore it off.
Holding the empty corner of her clothes in her hand, Chu Xuan met her brother's puzzled and shocked eyes, pulled the corners of her mouth, and revealed an awkward smile: ".....I didn't mean it."
Chu Qi: “…”
"New here, do you know the rules?"
Among the three men, the one with shaggy eyebrows spoke.
Chu Qi was wearing ragged, dirty and smelly clothes. He had no tools to take care of his hair, so he just used a sharp stone to cut it, making it a tangled mess. He also had no shaved beard, which covered half of his face.
At first glance, he looks like a little old man.
As I got closer and saw the condition of her skin and eyes, I realized that she seemed very young.
"What rules?"
Chu Qi secretly held her hand back, ready to take out the only rusty knife in the house from the space for self-defense at any time.
She has the power of the system to bless her, as well as the tetanus blade for self-defense.
If we really fight, we may not be powerless.
"To survive here, you have to pay protection fees first."
The man with the scowl stretched out his hand and rubbed his index finger and thumb. The meaning was obvious: to make friends.
The other two men pulled out two axes.
Seeing the hatchet, Chu Qi immediately gave up the idea of resisting.
Show the same demeanor you had when you first faced your boss in your previous life.
She hunched over and said timidly, "We two brothers left to find a way out because we couldn't make it elsewhere. Protection fee... do you think these two pieces of clothing are okay?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Xuan opened the bundle and handed the clothes that the two had deliberately taken out to the man with the scowl.
The man with the scowl grabbed the clothes and flipped them around. The tattered clothes were torn into several more holes by his violent destruction.
Chu Qi's eyes twitched when she saw this. Although the clothes were torn, they were her few remaining possessions...
"Boss, how about it...is it okay?"
Chu Qi gave a flattering smile.
"You're using all this garbage to honor me. Go away. I give you three days to find the supplies and hand them over to us. Otherwise,
The man with the scowl was responsible for making harsh remarks, while the two men next to him were responsible for drawing their knives. All of them had vicious expressions, as if they were afraid that others were not crazy enough.
"Oh, okay, I will..."
Chu Qi nodded and bowed, picked up the clothes that Ba Zi Mei had dropped on the ground, and quickly pulled Chu Xuan away.
After watching the two men leave, one of the men asked, "Lao Lin, are you just going to let them go like this?"
"Let them pay tribute first, and if they can't pay tribute, we can take action later."
"The little thing next to that boy is quite delicate and tender, and more fun than the others." Another man licked his lips, with a dirty look in his eyes.
"Once you have squeezed out all the value, you can play with it as you like."
The man with the scowl glanced at the man and said, "We have to keep a close eye on them and don't let them sneak away."
"certainly."
.....
The malicious gaze that followed her like a shadow couldn't be shaken off. Chu Qi led her sister into a dangerous building to hide, and the gaze disappeared.
If they walked, the two of them couldn't go far at once.
Traveling in the dark is a very dangerous act.
Last night, the two of them were also walking in the fallen city, walking along the buildings, carefully avoiding mutant beasts, and they were almost attacked by a mutant rat.
So it was not until dawn that the two of them reached the next scavenging area.
Although it is dangerous to get close to humans, it is strictly speaking not as dangerous as getting close to mutant animals.
Walking into the dangerous building, the walls on both sides are dilapidated and crumbling, and are supported entirely by two other walls.
Before the end of the world, this type of residence would be considered a "seriously dangerous building."
However, in the end times, living in such a building is just a basic activity for scavengers.
The scavengers believe that as long as no one is crushed to death, they can live there.
Chu Qi follows the local customs and is not picky about where to live.
After a rough inspection, I found that this place would not collapse for the time being, so I decided to live here for a while.
She has no plans to leave just yet.
With few supplies on him, if he keeps walking, he will most likely either starve to death on the road or be killed by a mutated beast.
Or being killed by the same kind...
Besides, she was being targeted by those three men.
They had ill intentions towards Chu Qi, and Chu Qi also wanted to kill them.
Chu Qi already had some preliminary ideas on how to implement it.
