Chapter 213 It's Not Safe After Dark
Nan Ci and the old Taoist priest did not hide their expressions at all, and Zhang Cheng saw it all.
Although all this was not caused by him, Zhang Cheng still showed an embarrassed expression on his face.
“Although this place is a bit run-down and things are tattered, this is the current environment and there is nothing we can do about it.
But don't worry, although the things are broken, the variety is still very complete.
If you want to modify or reinforce your ship, you can find suitable materials here."
Zhang Cheng talked for a long time, but Nan Ci and the old Taoist priest still didn't say anything. He became a little uneasy and didn't understand what Nan Ci and the old Taoist priest meant.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Cheng said, "Well, beauties, what materials do you want to find? How about I take you to look for them now?
Don't worry, I really don't mean anything else, it's just that it's getting late, and if we wait until dark, many things will be difficult to handle."
After hearing what Zhang Cheng said, Nan Ci came back to his senses and smiled at Zhang Cheng, "I understand what you said, but I just came to take a look, I don't want to buy anything."
Nan Ci looked up at the sky and said, "It's really getting late. I'm sorry to bother you today."
Zhang Cheng nodded and bowed repeatedly, saying modestly, "Beautiful lady, you are really too polite. It is my honor to be able to help you. It is not a trouble at all.
If you want to trouble someone, I should be the one causing trouble for you. I feel embarrassed to eat and drink with you guys."
Although he said this, there was no trace of embarrassment on Zhang Cheng's face.
Nan Ci didn't have to see him embarrassed, so he curled up the corners of his lips and smiled, "I won't say any more polite words to you, take this, just consider it your reward for today, and we can just go around on our own for the rest of the time, you don't have to follow us."
After he finished speaking, Nan Ci opened the zipper of his backpack and took out a two-kilogram bag of rice.
The rice is also vacuum-packed and is as square as a small brick.
Through the transparent plastic bag, you can clearly see the white rice inside.
Even through the bag, I can smell the fragrance of rice.
Two-kilogram bags of rice like this were everywhere in supermarkets before the end of the world, and most of the time, people would pass by without even a second glance.
But now, Zhang Cheng looked at the bag of rice and rubbed his hands excitedly.
Zhang Cheng really wanted to reach out and take it, but he hesitated and didn't dare to do so.
"Isn't this a bit too much? How can this be so embarrassing!"
Nan Ci raised his eyebrows, "It's not much. You told us a lot of information today, which allowed us to understand the situation of the base faster and better. This is what you deserve. Take it!"
"Since you've said that, I won't be polite to you."
Zhang Cheng smiled ingratiatingly at Nan Ci, then reached out to take the rice.
As soon as he got it, Zhang Cheng stuffed the rice into his shirt and covered it with the shirt.
Zhang Cheng held his hands to his chest and didn't dare to stand up straight, for fear that others would notice the rice in his arms. He looked around with a pair of eyes, his face full of vigilance.
Seeing Zhang Cheng like this, Nan Ci asked calmly, "You are so nervous, is the security in the base bad? Is there anyone robbing people in the street?"
Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly, "Beauty, this may look like a nice city, but it cannot be compared to the city before the end of the world in any aspect.
Not to mention robbing things, even if there is a fight in the street, no one will care!
Unless the situation gets too serious, a large number of people are involved, or someone dies, someone will come forward to take care of it.
At other times, you can only rely on yourself and wish for good luck.
Beauty, don't blame me for being nosy. I know you are both capable people, but since you two are new here, you'd better be careful, especially since it looks like you have a lot of things in your backpacks. You might be targeted by someone.
If you don't live in this city, hurry out and join your companions. It's getting dark, and the people in the city won't risk leaving the city.
Although it is dangerous outside after dark, since you can drive a boat here, you must be capable and can handle the situation outside."
No matter what the reason was for Zhang Cheng to say this, overall, he did say this for the sake of Nan Ci and the old Taoist priest.
Nan Ci was not an ungrateful person. After hearing what Zhang Cheng said, he thanked him sincerely.
"Thank you for your reminder, we will be careful, you should leave as well!"
Zhang Cheng bent down a little lower, "In that case, take care of yourselves, I'll be leaving first!"
After saying this, Zhang Cheng trotted away, moving very fast along the way, and soon he completely disappeared.
Nan Ci didn't look away until he could no longer see Zhang Cheng. He looked at the old Taoist priest beside him and said, "We have almost found out the situation. It's time for us to leave."
It was the first day after arriving, and I had only heard about the situation in the base from hearsay, so it was not suitable for me to stay in the base.
Besides, Mu Qianqian and Zhou Ziyang are still outside, so the two of them can’t stay in the base for long.
The old Taoist priest had no objection to this, "Okay, let's go!
By the way, do you have any building materials to repair the hull?"
"Yes." Nan Ci answered immediately, "But I always feel that this base should not be that simple, and it is impossible that there is only such a place selling building materials. We don't need to rush, just wait and see!"
Nan Ci said he would wait and see, but when asked what exactly he was waiting for, Nan Ci himself couldn't explain.
But Nan Ci's intuition told him that the more it got to this point, the less anxious he should be.
"As you say, let's go!"
The two turned around and walked back the way they came towards the entrance of the base.
Both of them have good memories and can remember clearly a road they have only walked once.
Without any guidance, the two of them walked without stopping, and after more than 20 minutes, they arrived at the entrance of the base.
You don’t use the same channel to go out or come in, and you have to swipe your card when you go out.
After swiping the card, the door opened and the two of them could continue to walk out.
Just as they were about to walk out, they were stopped by the old man in the guard room.
"You two just arrived at the base today, right? It's almost dark, why are you still running outside? Don't blame me for not reminding you, it's not safe outside the base after dark."
