Chapter 449: Forced Purchase and Sale
This is obviously an expression of "I am not wrong, I am right, why are you like this?"
Looking at Xing Lie's silent and faint smile, Hua Yang didn't know whether to be angry or take action. "Get out of here!"
The sound of this scene happened to reach the ears of Xing Guangming and Yan Chongshan who had arrived at the gate of Villa Area No. 3.
The two looked at each other, and they were still worried about Hua Yang who was talking inside. The message in their eyes was "Let's go".
Just as the two turned to leave, a black energy appeared from behind them.
Xing Lie turned around from the devouring power and looked at the two of them. The eagle-like sharp light in his eyes made the two of them shudder.
In the past, they only thought that the lines on their young master's face were tough and strong, full of masculinity. But at this moment, for some reason, such strong lines, under the refraction of dim sunlight in Haicheng where there is no sun now, seem a little sinister and dangerous.
"Young Master. We..."
"What's up?"
"I, we..."
Ever since the Earth Core Fire Mountains rose into the sky and blocked half of the sun, the days in Haicheng and other bases became particularly short. The night came quickly, and the winter temperature was much lower than before the end of the world.
Haicheng, which has high temperatures all year round and is not particularly cold in winter, has also begun to get cold. However, this is not the worst. The cold has little effect on the superpowers.
But for ordinary people, the cold makes them need more living supplies than the superpowers, and they also need more food to absorb calories. However, cosmic radiation has occupied every corner of the earth in this month, and ordinary people will die if they touch it.
The bodies of ordinary people exposed to cosmic radiation become like mummies that have died of deoxygenation within a second, and then quickly decay.
Except for the people in Haicheng Base, ordinary people in other bases could not go out, let alone step out of the base.
All the buildings were rebuilt by earth and gold-type psychics within a month, which at least ensured the safety of ordinary people in the base.
However, food became the biggest problem. In the land exposed to cosmic radiation, ordinary crops could not grow except for mutant plants.
The competition for supplies and food became more and more intense. Mutated beasts, evolved life, and edible mutant plants also became the targets of everyone's competition.
Including all the major forces from the Universe Kingdom that came here.
Sky Blue City is located on the coast and has its own unique fortifications. Although the weapons and bullets have been consumed in the three years of fighting against zombies, except for some ordinary people who have awakened into superpowers, the rest of the superpowers are all awakened from the original garrison of the naval base.
They are stronger than ordinary psychics in terms of physical fitness and other skills.
But a month ago, the base was occupied by a group of powerful and unparalleled outsiders.
The Kong family in the Star Universe Zone was led by a first-class planetary expert, who was enough to sweep away all the people in the Tianlan City base.
Under the coercion of powerful force, all people were forced to become residents of the base without human rights, guarding the base for the Kong family and hunting for food.
Fortunately, Haicheng has rich marine resources. Although most of the fish and other creatures in the sea are mutated, the meat of mutant beasts is more nutritious and has more energy than ordinary meat.
Yao Mingshan, as the original leader of the base, is now serving as a team leader, leading his men with special abilities to go fishing on a large yacht.
"Chief! Our harvest is getting smaller and smaller every day. The route is getting farther and farther. If we continue like this, if we encounter a powerful large sea beast, our lives will be in danger!"
"Those people are going too far! Why should we hand over two-thirds of the food we catch? The rest of the food won't be enough for our brothers to eat!"
"Who says it isn't! They are so powerful, why don't they come out and hunt by themselves!"
"How can these small fish and shrimps be enough for those people to eat? The bigger ones have become smart and run to the center of the sea. They are impossible to catch!"
"Stop talking!"
Yao Mingshan said with a sullen face. The school of mabu fish patrolling the sea to help him hunt had come and gone countless times, but today's harvest still only filled one-tenth of the storage room in the lower cabin.
If they go back like this, they will all be punished by the Kong family.
"Huh? Why did the leader only bring back so many schools of Ma Bu fish?"
"Oh, those went to where they belonged."
Yao Mingshan's voice was not loud, as if he was muttering to himself, or as if he was talking to someone.
The communication base station of Tianlan City was destroyed, and he could not contact Xing Lie, Hua Yang and the others. The Kong family was obviously fearless and ordered them to do things for them, without much defense.
After all, in front of an absolute master, they were just small fry and posed no threat.
But even in the original Tianlan City, few people knew the origin of these Ma Bu fish. These Ma Bu fish usually only lived in the sea. Even when the Kong family sneaked into Tianlan City, Yao Mingshan never used them to defend against the enemy.
Tell your master what happened here. It depends on you whether you can be rescued.
The Lingyun City base had the same experience as Tianlan City. This was also the place that the Yun family had set their eyes on, but it was occupied by the Sima family.
The Lei Xue family and the Huo family occupied two neighboring cities, Ancheng and Shahaicheng respectively, while the Rong family occupied the largest base, the Kyoto base.
The Qiao family in the Xingyu area occupied Licheng, while the Yun family developed in that cave. Although the place was not one-tenth of those bases, because of the flowers, there was sufficient spiritual energy and a wide coverage of vegetation. It could even allow ordinary beasts and some cold-resistant crops to grow.
In terms of food, apart from Tianlan City, the Yun family is the second family that has no shortage of food and supplies.
After Hua Yang returned to Haicheng base, she had a quarrel with Xing Lie over Xing Diandian's educational methods.
Xing Lie, who always supported Hua Yang, had a clear and strong attitude on this matter. Xing Diandian was born as a lightning power user, and now he is already a mid-level power user before he is two years old.
Hua Yang meant that Xing Diandian should not leave Haicheng and come into contact with the major family forces in the universe before becoming a nebula-level mutant.
Xing Lie believed that a mid-level psychic already had the ability to protect himself. In addition, under his care and the protection of the nightmare beast, Diandian needed to be trained from a young age so that he could better survive in various battles in the future.
The mutant fireflies had built their nests under the wisteria corridor at some point. At night, fireflies would fly out with their round tails like night pearls to mitigate the cold atmosphere.
"Diandian, let's start playing with mom and Xiaoyue's godmother tomorrow, okay?"
The little kid rolled his eyes in Hua Yang's arms. "Is Dad coming too?"
Hua Yang squinted her eyes and kicked Xing Lie, "Him? Of course not! Your father is very busy and has no time."
Xing Lie smiled faintly and helplessly as he watched the mother and daughter staring at each other in front of him. He could only say, "Yes, Dad doesn't have time. Can I let Mom accompany you tomorrow?"
Xing Diandian looked at Hua Yang and then at Xing Lie. After looking at the two of them back and forth for a long time, he suddenly smiled, revealing a deep dimple on one side of his face.
"Then can I bring Xiao Meng to play with me?"
Nightmare Beast has been with her since she was a child, the same age and just as naughty.
Xing Lie nodded, "Okay. Let Xiao Meng protect you!"
Hua Yang nodded with satisfaction, "You! Don't follow me!" After that, she took Diandian back to the room, leaving Xing Lie standing alone under the wisteria corridor.
The next day, Hua Yang called Gu Xiaoyue and Xie Xiaoling, with Hou Da sitting on their shoulders. Between them was the Nightmare Beast which was bigger than a horse. Diandian was dozing off on the back of the Nightmare Beast.
"Yangyang, Diandian is so young and sleepy at this age! Why did you wake her up so early?"
"Then let her sleep on the road, and we go shopping!"
"Yangyang, I heard that you had a fight with Brother Xing Lie?" Gu Xiaoyue looked at Hua Yang with a gossipy face.
"No, we just have a disagreement."
"Disagreement? What's the matter?" Xie Xiaoling seemed very curious. She was one of the people who spent every day with Hua Yang in Villa No. 3, but she still admired both Hua Yang and Xing Lie.
At this moment, Xie Xiaoling looked at Hua Yang like a little fan girl looking at her idol.
Hua Yang suddenly looked at Xie Xiaoling and Gu Xiaoyue seriously, "Tell me, how can you take a child as young as Diandian out to fight zombies and hunt evolved creatures? What if something happens?"
After this question, Gu Xiaoyue and Xie Xiaoling finally understood the source of the conflict between Hua Yang and Xing Lie.
Although Gu Xiaoyue was gossipy, in her opinion, this was not a big problem for Hua Yang and Xing Lie.
"Yangyang, I think you are worrying too much. Brother Xing Lie is a cosmic-level strongman after all. Even among the various forces in the universe, he is an unrivaled leader.
He is Diandian's father and cares about Diandian as much as you do. If he wasn't sure, he wouldn't take Diandian on a risk."
Hua Yang paused. "Dian Dian is only a mid-level psychic now, what if she suddenly encounters an unknown powerful character?"
"Yangyang, I think you misunderstood Captain Xing!"
"How did I misunderstand him?"
"Every time Captain Xing takes Diandian out, Xiaowu, Yansuan, Jiang Jiu and the others all follow him. Even Xing Guangming and the other supernatural beings from the Ancient Universe Country come along to protect him.
I think he is very protective of Diandian. But you, because you love someone too much, would be overly nervous.
One time, Qin Meijie and I were traveling together, and the zombies he took Diandian to hunt were at the highest level of the intermediate level. Diandian could easily burn the zombies to a crisp with just a lightning bolt.
Although Little Dot is less than two years old, her lightning net can kill five or six mid-level zombies in one second. And every time, in order to train Dot, Captain Xing would clear out the high-level zombies nearby.
And you don’t need to worry about those evolved creatures or beasts. Compared to this little guy, I’m more worried about whether she will make the evolved creatures depressed.”
Gu Xiaoyue also laughed out loud. "That's right. Last time there was a wild boar in Jincheng. It might have escaped from Haicheng. Somehow it became an evolved creature and has gold-related abilities. This little guy struck the wild boar with several thunderbolts in a row, leaving it charred on the outside and tender on the inside."
Seeing that the wild boar was seriously injured, it was able to escape with injuries. She rode the nightmare beast to chase the other person's lair, and even let the nightmare beast scare the other person's cub. At this moment, the wild boar cub is still being raised in the yard of Xiaowu's villa!"
Hua Yang was shocked. "What? And you brought a whole nest with you?"
Speaking of this, Xie Xiaoling and Gu Xiaoyue became excited.
"That's right! The big wild boar collapsed and we ate it for two days in Villa No. 3 after we brought it back!"
Hua Yang looked at Dian Dian, who was still smacking his lips while sleeping on Nightmare's back. It was estimated that even if the little wild boars grew up, they would not be able to escape the clutches of this little guy.
It seems that I have to go to Xiaowu's villa to collect a pair of wild boars into the space. I can't let these little guys be eaten to death.
The three big men, one small man and one beast walked around the base and found that the distribution of power in the base had changed a lot in a month.
Most of the psychics have become somewhat arrogant since joining the Xing family.
Hua Yang and his companions came to the trading place on the first floor of the small shopping mall and saw two psychics from Wang Su's team bargaining.
"Boss, your fruit looks wilted no matter how you look at it. How can it be worth half a bag of rice? Well, I'll give you ten mid-level zombie crystal cores, and you give me one pound!"
Before the stall owner had time to say anything in the store, the two psychics took out the belts they had prepared and picked out a bunch of unknown red fruits on the ground and put them into bags.
Hua Yang estimated that this bag weighed more than five kilograms, let alone one kilogram!
The stall owner became anxious and jumped out of the stall to grab the two men.
"Put down my fruit, and I will not sell it to you!"
“Mmmm, mmm, mmm, add your ten mid-level zombie crystal cores, that should be enough! Don’t come back and accuse us of forced sales!”
"You scumbags! You are fence-sitters who have surrendered to outsiders! This place belongs to the leader of the Haicheng base. It is not a place for cowards like you to run wild!"
"What did you say?"
"Who are you calling a fence-sitter! Who are you calling a coward!"
The two psychics who were fighting for the fruit suddenly had ferocious looks on their faces and their psychic energy spread all over their bodies.
"Guards! Guards! Someone is forcing me to buy and sell, and trying to steal my fruit!"
However, the guard team, which originally consisted of at least ten people, now had only two people, one of whom was Li Qing, the former leader of the team.
"Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter. What a crap guard team! There are only two of us left now. Who can control me?"
Hua Yang frowned!
Not to mention that a small portion of the daily stall fee in this trading place will go into her pocket, just the bad atmosphere of forced buying and selling in the base alone, if it continues for a long time, the thousand-mile dam will be breached by an ant hole, and the order that Haicheng has finally improved will be destroyed by these people.
Hua Yang was about to walk towards the scene but was stopped by Gu Xiaoyue.
"Yangyang, do you want to take care of this?"
Hua Yang was puzzled, looking at the expressions of Gu Xiaoyue and Xie Xiaoling, "Why? Can't we take care of this matter? Let me ask you, do things like this happen frequently in the base?"
Gu Xiaoyue nodded, "Yes! Not only the trading place here, but also the mission hall upstairs, and the hunting spots that everyone usually allocates in the forest.
These people from the Xing family not only networked most of the superpowers in the base, but also broke many of the base’s previous unwritten rules.”
"During the month I was away, Xing Lie allowed these people in his family who bully the weak and fear the strong to bully us people on Earth?"
"Don't blame Brother Xing Lie! Why doesn't he care? He has strictly required the Xing family to abide by the rules in the base, not to conflict with the people in the base, and to live in harmony.
However, they have about 100 people, and the lowest are all nebula-level superpowers. They are still doing well in the base. But when they are outside, how can these people in our base rob them?
Moreover, these people never provoke the people in Villa No. 3, so how can you let Brother Xing Lie manage them? He can only take care of us because of your face!"
Hua Yang frowned and thought. After hearing what Gu Xiaoyue said, it was indeed difficult to resolve the issues within the base.
Xie Xiaoling continued to add.
"And Yangyang, the Xing family is considered a big family in the universe, so why would they always mess with people like us?
On the contrary, the supernatural people in the original base, after joining the Xing family, took advantage of the power of others and pretended to be powerful. The two people who caused trouble were people who joined the Xing family. If there were a thousand of them, would they dare to cause trouble here?
As we all know, this place has a share of our Villa No. 3. But now, Captain Xing is also a member of the Xing family. They have joined the Xing family team, and many things are difficult to separate.
Even if we wanted to help, we didn’t really know how to solve this problem.”
Hua Yang's face turned extremely ugly. Aren't the root of all this the people brought by Xing Guangming?
If they had behaved themselves, would there be so many troubles at the base? She was plotted against from behind the day she returned to the base. If something like this could happen, how could others have a good life?
The power of the major families in the universe must have been established on Earth by now. If the people in Haicheng are in chaos at this time, there is no guarantee that there will be no chaos in the future.
This is the trace of her beauty, and no mistakes are allowed.
She straightened her expression, looked at the fruit stall owner, and then walked over.
Li Qing and another wind-type ability user are both high-level ability users, while the two people who forced the sale are only one level high-level ability user, one of earth-type and one of water-type, which are one level lower than Li Qing and the other.
In terms of force, if a fight broke out, there was no way these two would be able to escape more than three moves from Li Qing.
However, the reality was that Li Qing and the others endured and argued with the two superpowers. They wanted to fight, but they had to endure and feel aggrieved.
Hua Yang frowned, walked up to the two psychics, and narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"Who told you to come here to rob?"
Hua Yang's voice was not loud, but it could be heard by everyone around and shocked.
Although she only had water-based abilities that reached the cosmic level, she was still considered a cosmic-level powerhouse. The aura of a cosmic-level powerhouse was intimidating without anger, and her every move was visible. As long as she didn't restrain herself, others would sense it.
When the two superpowers saw that the person coming was Hua Yang, they all swallowed their saliva and began to stammer when speaking.
"I-we didn't rob!"
"That's right, we paid for the crystal core! He was dishonest in his business and sold us the fruit but then regretted it in the end."
The corners of Hua Yang's lips curled up sarcastically.
"Do you think you can do whatever you want after joining the Xing family? This Haicheng base doesn't believe in the Xing family."
“Captain Hua Yang, you came just in time! These two people forced me to exchange my fruit for the intermediate zombie crystal core! I refused to sell it, so they snatched it away!” He looked at Li Qing, “Captain Li, you should have seen it from a distance just now! I am not dishonest!”
Li Qing felt relieved when he saw that the person coming was Hua Yang. Even if it was Xing Lie himself who came here today, he would not be able to rest assured.
"Yes! I saw that these two people were forcing the transaction! They even resorted to violence when the transaction failed!"
Hua Yang nodded and glanced at Li Qing. "Why didn't you take action just now? Aren't you two the guards of the trading venue?"
Li Qing was stunned, "But they are from the Xing family..."
"The Xing family is the Xing family, and the Haicheng base is the Haicheng base! Even if Xing Lie came today, it wouldn't make sense!"
Li Qing's face suddenly turned red, with an uplifting feeling. "Yes!"
"According to the rules here, the punishment for these two people should be doubled! No need to give face to the Xing family!"
As soon as Hua Yang finished speaking, the psychic next to Li Qing suddenly looked unhappy.
"But, Captain Hua, according to the rules, those who cause trouble, force sales, and beat people up will be beaten up, and their property in Haicheng will be confiscated." He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "If it is doubled, how can it be doubled?"
Hua Yang stared sharply at the two people whose bodies were controlled by her mental power and unable to move.
"Li Qing, start recruiting new guards here tomorrow. These two will serve as an example to scare the monkeys.
Also, let everyone in the base know. We don't need fence-sitters in Haicheng Base. If they don't obey, let them leave Haicheng Base."
Li Qing nodded solemnly, "Yes! I'll do it right away!"
Hua Yang looked at the other psychic beside Li Qing and said, "You are a good person if you can stay here and continue to be a guard. But you are too timid.
You deal with these two people."
"Ah? Me?" He pointed at himself, "But, what about the Xing family..."
Hua Yang kicked the man on the calf, and if nothing unexpected happened, there would definitely be a bruise there. But the man frowned and endured it, looking a little aggrieved.
"You're nagging like a woman. Just go if I tell you to. Remember to find a fire-type mutant to burn the person later, so as not to pollute the environment and offend people's eyes.
After this is over, you and Li Qing will report to my Villa No. 3."
When Li Qing and the psychic heard this, they immediately looked surprised and asked, "Can we go to Villa No. 3?"
Hua Yang glared, "There are still many empty rooms in my Villa No. 3, you can choose a place to live. Just go to Villa No. 1 to find Xiaomi to register before you go."
The two poor psychics who had snatched the fruit were lying on the ground unable to move as they listened to a few people decide their life and death in just a few words, and they had no room for bargaining.
At this time, Xing Diandian had slept well and slowly woke up. Hua Yang felt that it was meaningless to stay in the trading field any longer, so after asking Gu Xiaoyue about the Xing family's base camp, he took a few people and a beast to wander over.
The Xing family now occupied most of the villas in Villa District No. 1. The people living in Villa District No. 1 also changed from the original residents to some lackeys of the Xing family.
What Hua Yang didn't expect was that Wang Su, Wang Ke and Li Lan were also among them. Moreover, Li Lan, who was originally Wang Su's favorite water-powered person, suddenly became Xing Lu'e's best friend in just one month.
Hua Yang couldn't help but look up to Li Lan.
For no other reason, she was Situ Mao's secret lover, and after being imprisoned by her for a period of time, she became Wang Su's person. Now the situation has changed, and she can even surpass Wang Su and become the best friend of Miss Xing, the most powerful person in this base.
Any woman who doesn't have some ability or shame can't do this.
Thanks to Mr. Hu Chao for the monthly ticket support!
