Chapter 215: Black-hearted Ticket Price
As soon as they left the salt field, Feng Tao released a thick fog that covered the sky. It was so thick that they couldn't see anything under their eyelids. In everyone's horror, the men quickly ran away, reunited with the girls, and then left.
Regardless of how things turn out, the team is happy. "We'll never have to worry about having no salt to eat again."
Miaomiao said, "You guys ran away so obviously, City G wouldn't be unaware that it was you who did it, right?"
Lu Chaoyang curled his lips and said, "If it's not obvious, it won't be easy to know that we were brought there by Xu Benying." The old woman has disgusted them for so long, how could she be allowed to live in peace.
"Tsk tsk, men are so heartless. After all, I have given my all." Yunshui Yao said sarcastically with her long hair rolled up.
Lu Chaoyang smiled, "Really? How ruthless is that?"
Yunshui Yao's fingers stiffened. She hated the fox's smile.
Lan Shiruo looked at Zhang Yun, "Are you okay? We can also take them away from G City. We'll keep a close eye on them from now on so they don't cause any major trouble."
Zhang Yun smiled faintly and shook her head, "No, this is their own choice. I am not their daughter, so they are naturally not my parents. So let it be."
The little friend patted her shoulder silently to comfort her.
Zhang Yun was really not that sad, after all, she had been used to it for more than 20 years.
The large team walked on a remote trail for ten days, shook off their pursuit, and got onto the main road. There were many vehicles on the road, and all the roads had been cleared. It looked no different from before the end of the world.
It’s just that the gas stations and service areas on the road have lost their previous functions. Their only use now is to provide a resting place for people.
At night, the large team stopped to rest at a large service area. There were dozens of teams traveling the same way. Fortunately, the service area was large enough that each person could occupy a piece of land without interfering with each other.
"What is the place ahead? Why are there so many people?" The little friend looked at Lu Chaoyang.
Lu Chaoyang thought for a moment, "If I were to talk about the largest and most famous place up there, it would be H City in Jiangzhou. H City is famous for an island in the middle of a lake covering several thousand acres. The island has been built into the largest wildlife park in the country. I think this might be related to it."
The eyes of the girl who had no contract partner lit up. "So there are a lot of mutant beasts there?"
Ao Chengyi glanced at the few people and said, "Don't be too happy too soon. Even if there is one, it belongs to someone else. If you want it, I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
The friend lost most of his anger, but still felt a little unwilling to give up. "How about going and seeing it for yourself?"
The kids also wanted to go, but they didn't have a contracted beast, so they stared at Lan Shiruo and Ao Chengyi.
Lan Shiruo smiled and rubbed the kids' heads, "Okay, let's go take a look."
The men and women are adults after all, so they have to be reserved and only show their happiness on their faces. But it is different for the kids. No matter how sensible they are, they are still children. They can't help cheering, causing the surrounding teams to look over here frequently.
The boys shrank their necks and hid behind the men, but they didn't do it on purpose.
The men directly took the man out and looked straight at him. "What are you afraid of? Hold your head up and stand straight."
The kids instantly gained confidence, smiled back at those who were looking at them, and wisely stopped cheering.
It's just a small matter. It's tiring enough to work hard all day, and no one wants to cause unhappiness over such a small matter. So they turn their heads and stop looking at it.
The next day, all the teams packed up and left. The big team walked leisurely at the back. Judging from the direction these people were heading, it seemed that they were all heading to H City.
After the mutant beasts were able to form contracts, City H immediately took control of the lake island, cleared out the mutant beasts that could be contracted, and also purchased them from outside, buying them at low prices, and selling them at high prices after taming them. The business was very good.
Finding contracted beasts is a long-term task, just like hunting crystal cores. Furthermore, a mutant beast is more valuable than a single crystal core, as capturing it requires more mental effort than hunting. Consequently, the amount of supplies gained is greater. H City not only collects mutant beasts, but other safe bases do as well, though they aren't as large as H City and lack the advantageous geographical location and conditions.
As for those who buy contracted beasts, finding one on your own is not only dangerous, but you can't guarantee you'll find the right one. Some contracted beasts have strong temperaments, so even if you find a suitable one, you still can't contract them. Buying in H City, while expensive, is a pain, but the process is easy. You can simply pick whatever you want and contract it. No matter how strong the temperament, H City is a popular place for buying and selling.
In the afternoon, we arrived at the gate of H City. The Lake Heart Island is behind H City. Before the end of the world, you could go around the outside of the city to visit the Lake Heart Island. Now the road outside the city is blocked. If you want to go to the Lake Heart Island, you can only go through the city center.
He queued up to enter the city, rented a medium-sized house, and then went out to wander around and get some information.
There are far more contracted beasts in H City than anywhere else, and they are of all kinds. The girls, boys, and children who don’t have contracted beasts are excited by seeing them.
After walking around outside for more than an hour, I returned to my rental house when it got dark.
"It's so shady," the friends sighed. They'd gathered that the entrance ticket to the Lake Heart Island required five kilograms of staple food, two kilograms of meat, one kilogram of fresh vegetables, or other items of equal value. This was required regardless of whether you found a suitable contracted beast after entering, and there were no half-price tickets for either the elderly or children. Finding a suitable contracted beast required additional supplies, categorized by level and type. Even the most docile and low-level first-order mutant beasts were ten times the price of the entrance ticket.
Guo Zi touched the back of his head and said, "At most, we are just stealing. They are robbing openly. They are much more ruthless than us."
"Ahem cough" the little friend looked at him unkindly. Tell the truth, when did they steal it?
"Ah?" Guo Zi was confused. What did he say?
Zhang Yun slapped him on the forehead and said, "Shut up and don't talk."
"Oh." Guo Zi laughed foolishly and shut up obediently.
The friends couldn't bear to watch. Duan Jianghe asked, "Are we all going? Wouldn't it be too much of a loss?"
It's quite a loss, Lan Shiruo said, "How about those who don't have contracted beasts take their cubs with them?"
"Forget about Lebao, we'll see him later when we have a chance," said Ao Chengyi. Even if his brothers were looking after him, he would not feel safe letting his own son leave his sight.
Lebao glanced at his stinky father, then turned and snuggled into his bad mother's arms, "Mom, Lebao wants to go."
Lan Shiruo softened her heart. The little one rarely acted like a spoiled child after turning one year old. The chubby ball nestled in her arms, its big black eyes blinking at her. She couldn't refuse him no matter what. "Why don't you take Lebao with you? It's just a few more kilograms of rice."
Ao Chengyi was a loving father most of the time, and he couldn't bear to refuse his son just because of a few kilograms of rice. "Okay."
The little thing was happy and quickly jumped into the arms of his stinky father, acting cute and trying to please him, "Daddy is the best."
Lan Shiruo rolled her eyes, what a heartless brat.
Le Bao didn't notice his own mother's rolling eyes, and he was muttering with his four golden friends. He didn't know what they were talking about, but they kept laughing, which attracted all the evil guys over.
In order to prevent the kids from suffering from insomnia, Lan Shiruo pulled Lebao back and told him to go to bed.
