Chapter 380: Arrogant Spirit
The current trading market has become the most visited place in Haicheng Base. Anyone who has something to do or not will come to the trading market for a stroll.
People with special abilities would bring their extra food or unused supplies to the market to see if they could exchange them for something useful.
Those who don't have enough exchange items will also come here to shop, just like women liked to go shopping before the end of the world. They express the pressure since the end of the world and relieve their tense emotions.
Of course, with so many people, there are also hidden dangers. For example, if someone who has been hungry for a long time comes here and sees someone with food on their stall, but has no resources to exchange, then robbery or something like that might happen.
This did happen at the beginning. So, Saifuding, the apparent leader of the base, sent out a team of ten level three psychics to patrol the market every day to maintain its safety.
In return, people who set up stalls in the market must pay 1% of their stall fees to Saifuding.
The owner of this mall is Hua Yang. There are dozens of stores on the first floor, some of which are divided into two rooms and rented by two people.
The rent for each booth can be calculated by day or month. The booth fee for one day is not expensive, which is just the cost of a meal of rice and a glass of water.
But for dozens of stores, if no one pays the rent on time every day, at least they can get thirty bowls of rice.
Hua Yang's family is wealthy and has a large number of team members. At the end of the day, this is enough to be the staple food for their entire family's dinner.
Therefore, Hua Yang does not despise this seemingly meager but generous income at all.
Every day, Xiao Ming and Ya Ya help Li Xiaoyu water the flowers and plants with the spiritual water prepared by Hua Yang, and go shopping in the trading market.
Yaya is in adolescence. Although she has experienced the cruelty of the end of the world, it is natural for girls at this age to love beauty.
There is plenty of food and various supplies in Hua Yang's space. Every once in a while, she will give the people around her a new set of clothes.
But between things given by others and things bought by oneself, I believe rebellious teenage girls will prefer buying things by themselves.
It happened that Yaya took Xiao Ming to the trading area yesterday and saw a denim suit and a cool-looking denim hairband. The stall owner saw that Yaya, a little girl, was so engrossed in looking at the clothes and hairband that she couldn't even walk, and thought, business is coming.
The two children bargained with the stall owner for a long time, but the stall owner insisted on three pounds of flour and one pound of meat.
Yaya really liked it, but she didn't have that much stuff. Although she had some at home, she was just an ordinary person without any special abilities. She usually did some easy work, so she couldn't ask her family for something to change clothes.
She didn't, but Xiao Ming did. Xiao Ming really liked this little sister who took care of him in everything. Although he was closer to Hua Yang, he also liked Ya Ya.
So the two agreed to go back to the stall owner to exchange the money the next day.
When the two kids were about to go out, they happened to meet Hua Yang who had nothing to do after a meal, so she followed Xiao Ming and Ya Ya to go to the market.
Since Hua Yang is going, Xing Lie, who has been inseparable from Hua Yang recently, will naturally be in the team.
The four of them arrived at the trading market. Yaya and Xiao Ming told Hua Yang that they wanted to go shopping on their own, and went straight to the stall selling clothes and jewelry that they had seen yesterday.
Hua Yang and his companion were wandering aimlessly in the trading area when they ran into Saifuding shopping with a petite and cute girl named Seventeen.
Seferding is the apparent leader of the base. In cooperation with Huayang, all matters that Huayang is unwilling to take care of or deal with are handled by him.
Although on the surface the two people do not have much in common, in fact, the tacit understanding between them has been established for a long time.
Saifuding also saw Hua Yang and Xing Lie early on. He nodded slightly to Hua Yang, and then continued to stroll with Shiqi without any further communication.
Hua Yang was held in Xing Lie's arms as they continued to slowly visit the stalls. On the way, they unexpectedly met ten communication base station designers who had returned with Xing Lie.
"Captain Xing, it's you. Oh, Mrs. Xing is here too." Zhou Tong is the team leader of ten communication base station designers. His academic design range is very broad. He designed the largest communication base station in China before the end of the world, and its signal radiation range can span the entire province.
When Hua Yang heard the name Madam Xing, her face instinctively turned red. Although she did not refute, she nodded to Zhou Tong and the others embarrassedly. "Are you guys here to visit the market too?"
Zhou Tong nodded and said, "We have made some breakthroughs in studying the magnetic field guidance of the entire Haicheng. But we are still short of some raw materials. I want to come here to have a look and see if we can get anything."
"What are you missing? I'll ask someone to help you find it."
"It is a conductor made of a rare metal. People who are not in this field may not know it. Moreover, this thing was rarely circulated in the market before the end of the world, and the country controlled it very strictly.
We want to see if we can find some old and new electronic products and separate the materials we need from them for use.”
Xing Lie and Hua Yang nodded. Xing Lie seemed indifferent to all this, but he would definitely help as long as he could.
He asked someone to come to Haicheng to build a communication base station in order to help Hua Yang.
To fight against the zombies in the three years of the apocalypse, it is totally insufficient to rely on just these few people.
Although Haicheng has few people, it is rich in resources. For people at this stage, only when they are full can they have the remaining strength to fight. Hunger will always lead to depression and regression.
Although the Kyoto base, the only one connected to Haicheng, has a large population, the competition and cooperation between the four major families are complicated, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Moreover, although food and supplies are not scarce, the strength of the Kyoto base has led to intensified internal strife.
If we want to fight, we must let more bases and more people understand the current situation, end the infighting, and unite.
And the first step is to establish communication.
Hua Yang also knew the importance of establishing communication, so she said arrogantly to the ten uncles, the youngest of whom was in his 40s, "Go ahead and look for Uncle Zhou, and don't be afraid of wasting money. I'll cover all your expenses in the market."
And Hua Yang's conversation was all heard by Saifuding and Xiao Shiqi who just passed by.
Seferding knew how arrogant Hua Yang was, so he was not surprised. But Shiqi didn't think so.
At this moment, Seventeen's eyes, heart, and mind were all filled with Xing Lie's tall body with wheat-colored skin and his handsome face that was firm, deep, and strong.
If this happened before the end of the world, she would have had the figure and face of a warlord or group president in Mary Sue TV dramas.
She felt three different temperaments in him: laziness, coldness, and determination. This temperament quickly made Seventeen infatuated.
Seeing him hugging Hua Yang just now, she thought they were a loving couple. In fact, when she heard those ten old men calling Hua Yang Madam Xing, her thoughts were confirmed.
Just when she was thinking about how to approach the two of them, Hua Yang's arrogant demeanor and words made her unable to help but secretly happy.
It seems that she is relying on her own resources. Maybe this man named Xing Lie is not her true love?
Thanks to yayalibe97 for the monthly ticket and recommendation ticket package. I was really happy to have a book friend who chatted with me in the chapter that day.
