In the following days, Xia He continued to stock up on goods. During this time, the medicines she ordered arrived, and the goods from the wholesale market also arrived. Before she knew it, it was May 25th, and more than half a month had passed.
While Xia He was collecting supplies, she kept searching online for places that sold cold weapons. Since China prohibits arms trading, she could only get this information through acquaintances and online back channels.
Not long ago, Xia He learned from a man named "You Don't Know Me, But I Know You" in a secret passage that an old man was selling cold weapons in the ghost market in Shu. So Xia He decided to go to the ghost market tonight to try her luck.
Under the description of "You don't know me, but I know you", the ghost market in Sichuan usually opens at midnight, that is, from 11 pm to 1 am, and closes at 3 am to 5 am. The specific opening and closing times can only be guessed by those who enter.
The opening time of the ghost market is not fixed, usually opening on the 5th, 15th, and 25th of each month. The location is also not fixed. It is said that the opening location of the ghost market can only be entered by being led in by someone who frequently enters and exits the ghost market. Coincidentally, "You don't know me, but I know you" is a frequent visitor to the ghost market.
So Xia He spent a lot of money to ask "You Don't Know Me, But I Know You" to take her in. At 10:30 pm that night, Xia He arrived at the agreed location, which was at the end of an alley. Xia He waited in the alley for half an hour, and as it approached 11 pm, "You Don't Know Me, But I Know You" still hadn't appeared. Xia He was getting a little anxious.
Just as Xia He was about to take out her phone to contact "You Don't Know Me, But I Know You," she heard a thumping sound behind her. Turning around, she saw the sound coming from the wall at the end of the alley. Then, the wall slowly opened up a doorway, and a black figure emerged from it.
The figure in black said, "You must be Miss Xia. I am 'You don't know me, but I know you.' Follow me closely, and don't get lost."
Xia He followed the black figure into the end of the alley, then turned left and right. There were many forks in the alley, but Xia He didn't have time to look closely. She could only follow the black figure closely. Gradually, the alley became narrower and narrower, only wide enough for one person to pass through. Then they came to a narrow door, and the black figure opened the door and went inside.
Xia He followed her inside. Next, Xia He saw stalls one after another, some for fortune telling, some for selling antiques, some for selling medicine... all kinds of things were on display. Except for the different items being sold, it was almost the same as a market.
Finally, led by the man in black, Xia He arrived at an old man's stall. The old man asked, "I heard you want to buy a weapon. What kind of weapon are you looking for?"
Xia He didn't know much about weapons, so she could only say, "I want to buy one for self-defense. Do you have any recommendations?"
The old man said, "The weapons here are mainly used for ancient martial arts, including knives, swords, daggers, and hidden weapons. Each person is limited to purchasing three items."
Xia He thought for a moment and then said, "I want a knife, a dagger, and a hidden weapon."
The old man first took out a knife. "Look at you, little girl, you don't have much martial arts skill. It's not easy to handle a knife. Here are a few. One is the White Tiger Flying Blade, which is heavy but cuts very cleanly. Another is the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, which is light and fast, killing without drawing blood. A third is the Vermilion Bird Fire Dance Blade, which is exquisitely crafted. After cutting someone, the wound is difficult to heal because the blade has three cuts. With one cut, it can cut a person's skin into three layers. There is also the Black Tortoise Breaking Blade, which can cut through everything. Its main features are perseverance and durability."
Next, the text introduced daggers and hidden weapons. Xia He ultimately chose a Green Dragon Crescent Blade because of its light weight. Fighting with a heavy blade in the apocalypse is no easy feat, especially since Xia He's combat abilities are truly lacking. She then selected a dagger with the same properties as the Vermilion Bird Fire Dance Blade, primarily to prevent the enemy's wounds from healing. Finally, she chose a poison needle hidden weapon that could withstand poison. This poison needle could directly hit ordinary embroidery needles. Since she couldn't equip needles separately, and she had the space to spare, she wasn't worried about running out of needles later.
And so, Xia He was fully equipped with her main self-defense weapons in the apocalypse, and continued to hunt for treasures in the ghost market.
