Chapter 89 Zombie King vs Humans (44)
"I think so too. Besides, 180,000 guns and 1,000 crystal cores are more than enough to exchange for 730 tons of salt. We can definitely conclude the negotiation quickly."
Zhou Ye touched his chin, his eyes showing a proud and wise look.
Chu Han slapped his forehead and said helplessly, "The City Lord said these are the maximum limits, which means we have to exchange them for less."
"Then I won't."
Zhou Ye shrugged and walked aside to play with his fire.
Although Xu Jinxiao was still sitting here, his mind had already drifted away. He rested his chin on his hand and was lost in thought. The main reason was that he had no idea about the situation at the base and was sure that he could not come up with any good ideas.
Qi Chengzhi turned his gaze towards him, "Tonight, what do you think?"
Xu Jinxiao was still lost in thought, and Song Yan immediately poked him secretly, bringing him back to his senses.
He found Qi Chengzhi looking at him, and touched the tip of his nose with a guilty conscience.
"Captain Chengzhi, what's wrong?"
Qi Chengzhi then explained the previous situation and problems.
"I think... first I need to explain to her the benefits of this weapon, the strength of our base, and this crystal core. Also..."
In order not to leave a bad impression on his wife, he racked his brains to think of an idea, and he spoke haltingly, but later he spoke more and more fluently.
Qi Chengzhi nodded after listening, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Well said, then I will take you to negotiate with me later."
Xu Jinxiao: ???
"Just me?"
Qi Chengzhi looked at him gently and nodded, "Yes, don't be nervous."
Xu Jinxiao was delighted. Does this mean that he has become more important in his wife's heart?
He tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth that were curled up, and assured with a serious face: "Captain Chengzhi, don't worry, I will definitely not be nervous."
After hearing this, everyone else wanted to give a thumbs up. They didn't expect Xu Jinxiao to be so talented in both martial arts and literature. His previous physical fitness had already surprised them, and today's negotiations also made a lot of sense.
Everyone stopped discussing the matter and talked about the situation at the base.
"There are probably over 300,000 people in our base, so there should only be 100,000 here, right?"
Zheng Tie touched his head and estimated.
"Almost, but it's really far away. It takes a long time to transport the salt, and we have to be careful about being robbed."
Chu Han frowned and complained.
"Don't even mention us. Even the Chiyuan base, which is farther away, comes here to exchange."
Song Yan sighed helplessly.
"Speaking of which, didn't Chen He want to come and see you last time? Why didn't you agree?"
Zhou Ye suddenly smiled with a bitter look on his face, and threw her a coquettish look, his eyes full of gossip.
"Get out of here."
Song Yan's face turned slightly red in an instant, and he angrily retorted to him.
Xu Jinxiao just listened to their conversation quietly. The blanket under his butt was quite comfortable, and he suddenly felt a little drowsy.
He got up and went straight to his previous room, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and rested.
The next moment, warmth covered his whole body. He opened his eyes and found that it was Qi Chengzhi who covered him with the quilt.
He smiled gently, closed his eyes again, and fell asleep unknowingly, and even had a rare dream.
In the chaotic darkness, filled with thick black fog, he walked slowly in it, the subtle sound of his footsteps was clearly audible.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally reached the end, but there was still nothing there. As he was wondering, he suddenly heard the rustling sound of chains.
He turned his head and finally found a hidden chain, but it extended upwards. Xu Jinxiao looked up suddenly and saw a dark figure trapped in the void by countless chains, and two balls of scarlet light were constantly jumping.
Xu Jinxiao stood there in a daze. Is this a person?
The next moment, a strange red light came out of the black shadow's mouth and flew towards Xu Jinxiao.
Xu Jinxiao's pupils shrank and he wanted to run away immediately, but he was horrified to find that his legs seemed to be filled with lead and he could not move at all. He could only watch the red light fall on him.
The heat quickly covered his entire body and merged with his body.
The next moment, a destructive pain swept through the whole body, the flesh cracked and turned outside but no blood flowed out, revealing the white bones. From time to time, wisps of scarlet light flashed through the body, which looked extremely weird.
Cold sweat broke out all over his body, and the blue veins on his forehead popped out instantly. He gritted his teeth and held on with all his strength, clenching his fists tightly.
The scarlet light kept flashing, and the flesh, blood, and bones began to roll and surge. The outside cracked like a renewal, and new flesh and blood surged out from the inside.
His whole body was broken and reassembled, waves of tremendous pain came over him, and the shackles also dissipated at this moment. Xu Jinxiao immediately fell to the ground, rolling unconsciously due to the tremendous pain. After an unknown amount of time, the pain finally disappeared.
Xu Jinxiao lay motionless on the ground, and the scarlet silk thread began to quickly sew up his flesh and bones, warm and continuous.
He quickly regained his senses and was about to stand up and curse at the black shadow above, but he was kicked out the next moment.
He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, his whole body covered in cold sweat, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
"Bang, bang, bang"
The pounding heartbeat seemed to be as clear as if it was ringing in his ears. He could easily perceive the subtle sensations in his body. His vision and hearing had improved by several levels, and his whole body was filled with explosive power.
The changes in his body made him stunned. Could it be that this wasn't a dream? No wonder it felt so real!
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have successfully been promoted to a Level 3 Intermediate Zombie! Obtained the Zombie King's inheritance: Invulnerability]
Xu Jinxiao blinked slowly and glanced at the time. It was 2:40.
It was just a second-level intermediate zombie half an hour ago!
He touched his body, which was warm and soft, just like a human's. Then he thought of the inheritance he had just received. Could this body really be invulnerable to swords and guns?
A gray dagger appeared in his hand, and he stabbed it forward fiercely. A ball of sparks burst out, as if it had stabbed a hard stone.
Xu Jinxiao was stunned, then pressed his arm again, and his skin returned to its previous softness and warmth.
He was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth slowly curled up and he retracted the dagger with satisfaction.
There was a cold gleam on his fingertips, his eyes moved, and he made a light stroke, cutting through the clothes without any effort.
Xu Jinxiao was pleasantly surprised. Needless to say, he was extremely powerful now.
He got up and walked to the bathroom, took a shower, changed his clothes, then turned on the shower and activated his supernatural power. The water was blown by the wind to form a vortex, which continued to flow and float in the air.
He threw the clothes and detergent in, and also threw in all the clothes he had changed before, and began to use his supernatural powers to roll the clothes back and forth to wash them.
Xu Jinxiao smiled with satisfaction, it would be great if he could use his supernatural powers.
After more than ten minutes, Xu Jinxiao took a look and felt that everything was OK. He turned off the shower and only the clothes were left spinning in the air. His supernatural power transformed and he instantly dried the moisture on the clothes and put them into the space.
He strolled out, his hands folded behind his head, whistling, his spirits soaring.
He walked to the table and poured a cup of tea. Who would have thought that he would have a chance encounter with someone after a nap? When luck comes, it cannot be stopped.
Crunch
The door was opened.
Qi Chengzhi walked in, saw that he was awake, met his eyes, and was stunned for a moment.
Then she came and sat down opposite him, looked at him seriously, and said with her thin lips slightly opened, "Your pupils have changed again."
“…”
Xu Jinxiao felt surprised and normal. He didn't know what to say, so he just kept silent.
Qi Chengzhi didn't ask any more questions and chatted briefly with him about the negotiations. The air fell silent again.
"Dong Dong Dong"
"Enter."
A woman immediately opened the door with a professional smile on her face.
"Greetings, gentlemen who have come from afar. The city lord invites you to participate in the negotiations. Please follow me."
Xu Jinxiao and the other person looked at each other and followed her all the way to Manhua's meeting hall.
