Chapter 268 Hunting Mutant Beasts
The chatter of the crowd was deafening. Although everyone was dressed in tattered clothes, their faces were filled with joy and hope.
Even those who had finished buying their goods didn't leave immediately. Instead, they sat on the ground near the store, chatting in small groups.
As darkness fell, the lights inside and outside the store were turned on, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.
Meanwhile, more and more people were arriving at the store, and those who had finished shopping found a seat outside.
They naturally blended into the group chatting, chattering about what happened outside that day.
If everyone hadn't been sitting, Gu Xinyan would have thought it was a large-scale square dance performance, given the volume of their voices; it was clear everyone was having a great time.
"It's been so long since I've seen a scene like this. They used to always be frowning. This kind of happiness is rare, especially after the apocalypse!"
Just as Gu Xinyan and her companion were watching the crowd, a sigh came from behind them.
Upon hearing the voice, the two turned around and saw that the person who came was one of the five big shots from yesterday, and it seemed to be the cool and sassy young lady with fire-type superpowers.
They didn't speak to these bigwigs yesterday either, as they were busy responding to Minister Han's remarks.
Unexpectedly, the fire elemental expert came looking for them. Before the two of them could speak, the person in front of them spoke again.
"Hello, my name is Han Xiao. It's nice to meet you all. I really enjoyed watching you guys take them down one by one last time last night!"
Han Xiao smiled and said to Gu Xinyan and the other person, "I wanted to get to know them last night."
But seeing that Minister Han had something to say, she didn't step forward. But now she couldn't help but step forward and say something.
"Okay, okay, hello, my name is Gu Xinyan, it's nice to meet you too. We really enjoyed watching you burn the zombie king last night, you were really amazing!" Gu Xinyan replied with a smile.
"Yan Xiyun, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
As the two finished speaking, the smile in Han Xiao's eyes deepened.
She was genuinely curious about the two people, or rather, about the store itself and the people inside.
She's from another world! Before the apocalypse, she was a recent college graduate and a typical office worker.
Little did I know that just as I stepped into the workplace, before I even experienced the life of a beast of burden, the apocalypse would arrive.
They had been hiding for a long time. After all, the apocalypse was not very friendly to women, especially for women who had not awakened their superpowers. It was really difficult.
I still remember that I was one of those who hadn't awakened my superpowers back then, and was eventually abandoned by the team to cover their retreat.
This nearly cost her her life in the jaws of those zombies, but unexpectedly, in that moment of crisis, she awakened her fire-based superpowers.
Using her fire-based abilities, she successfully escaped from the zombies and continued to grow stronger through her efforts.
Finally, he personally killed the group of people who had harmed him, thus resolving his inner conflict and eventually joining the official base.
She was quite lucky, so she cherished her second chance at life.
Moreover, she always believed that things wouldn't stay this way forever, and that there would eventually be hope for survival.
Look! The arrival of Boss Gu and his group has brought them new hope!
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Yan, whatever you're interested in here, I can explain it to you!"
In the afternoon, we all heard Minister Han say that after you, Boss Gu, leave, there will be online trading every month, and a trade conference every six months. I'm really looking forward to it!
Tomorrow, a few of us will go hunting a mutated beast. We'll see if we can exchange it for something from Boss Gu then.
Han Xiao said with a smile that she originally thought that Boss Gu and his group were only here to do business, and she had planned to exchange more items while Boss Gu was here.
Unexpectedly, during the meeting in the afternoon, I learned that even if Boss Gu and the others left, there would still be an online transaction every month, and not only that, there would also be a transaction conference every six months.
When she learned these things, she was truly astonished. After hearing Minister Han say that the trade conference was about trading with people from other worlds, her restless heart never stopped.
Other worlds! The brochure not only featured the Beast World, but also interstellar worlds, the world of cultivation, ancient times, sea races, and so on, each one leaving her in awe.
So when she heard Minister Han say that he would organize a team to hunt mutated beasts the next day, she was the first to raise her hand to participate.
Not only her, but several other level-eight ability users in the base also raised their hands to express their desire to go.
So, Minister Han divided them into two groups to hunt different mutated beasts. They were all eager to go and have a big fight tomorrow.
Upon hearing her words, Gu Xinyan and Yan Xiyun exchanged a glance, both seeing interest in each other's eyes.
Mutant beasts? When they came yesterday, they only saw zombie birds and zombies. They didn't see any mutant beasts and didn't know what the mutant beasts in this apocalypse looked like.
However, they were also very curious about whether the mutated beasts could be exchanged, so they asked:
"Where are you planning to hunt mutated beasts tomorrow? Would it be possible to take us along? If it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't say anything!"
Upon hearing this, Han Xiao's eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded eagerly in agreement:
"Convenient, of course it's convenient. However, we split into two teams. Ouyang Ling's team went to the west side of the base, where there's a herd of mutated wild boars."
Our group is heading east, where a herd of mutated deer lives. If you want to go, come with us, and we'll show you what mutated deer look like!
Gu Xinyan and Yan Xiyun exchanged a glance upon hearing this, both seeing the eagerness in each other's eyes. They had seen zombies yesterday, but they hadn't seen these mutated beasts yet.
If we wait for them to return from the hunt, they'll all be dead. It's not as interesting to see them alive, so he replied with a smile:
"Alright, then we'll go with you tomorrow and see exactly what this mutated deer has become!"
"Hahaha! You'll never guess what will happen tomorrow, you'll be in for a big surprise!" Han Xiao replied with a mysterious smile.
Hearing this, Gu Xinyan and the other person became even more curious about what to do. Unfortunately, it was impossible to set off immediately, so they could only wait patiently for tomorrow to arrive.
