Chapter 84 Finding the Entrance
Tomorrow's base is more than 200 kilometers away from City A, but the black market is in the city, so she decided to explore the route closer first.
Shannai walked through the teleportation vortex gate, and all he saw were abandoned cars and densely packed mutated dark green plants.
Luo Shen said that the black market is the largest underground shopping mall in City A.
According to previous maps, there is a subway station above the underground shopping mall and there are not many high-rise buildings around it.
“Woof——”
Shannai was carefully looking for the underground entrance when he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him.
As soon as she turned around, she saw a stream of black blood burst out.
A zombie dog fell to the ground in an instant, its head and tail separated.
When did someone come up behind me? Why is there no movement?
The man in white vest and black trousers was the one who chopped off the zombie dog's head.
The man was also looking at Shannai.
But in just a few seconds, he withdrew his gaze, walked to the zombie tiger's corpse with a long knife in his hand, and stirred the zombie dog's skull with the tip of the knife.
Shannai frowned slightly, watching him dig out a white crystal core from his mushy skull...
It turned out to be a survivor who came out to collect crystal cores. This man had handsome features and extraordinary skills.
"It's dangerous to be alone."
The man's eyes were cold as he quickly glanced at Shannai and threw down a sentence.
"Ah? Oh...thank you for the reminder." Shanna looked around and saw no one else. She made sure he was talking to her before she agreed.
Then Shanna turned around and continued looking for the entrance to the black market.
“Isn’t it just opposite the train station? There are so many scrapped cars and there’s no place to stand…” Shanna climbed onto the roof of the car and complained softly.
"Are you looking for the black market center?" the man behind him spoke again.
Shanna looked at him and nodded, "Yes, do you know where the entrance is?"
The man walked towards Shannai and held out his big hand, "5 Gray Crystals."
"Pfft..." Shannai almost cursed.
Is the toll so expensive?
5 first-level crystal cores can be exchanged for 500 points, which is enough to buy a lot of good things in the supermarket.
"I'd better find it myself." Shannai pouted.
She had no intention of killing zombies and collecting crystal cores to pay him for the journey.
The man sneered when he heard this, "Oh, you can't even come up with 5 gray crystals, and you still want to go to the black market center?"
This caught Shanna's interest. She had almost turned to leave, but then she turned back and, forcing a smile, asked him, "You mean, the entrance fee to the black market is more expensive?"
"3 white crystals."
"Why don't you just go and rob..." Shannai sucked her words and her expression changed immediately.
The man glanced at her and said in a low voice, "So why don't you leave now?"
Shannai made a face at him, "How do you know I don't have a crystal core? If you don't want to lead the way, forget it. I can find it myself!"
After saying that, Shannai climbed onto the roof of the car and ran away with a bang, stepping on all kinds of scrapped car roofs.
The man looked at the girl's departing back, rubbed his eyebrows, and pursed his lips tightly.
"What are you doing, Su Cheng?"
Baili Yu rushed to Su Cheng and pushed Su Cheng, who was standing there in a daze.
Su Cheng shook his head, thinking back to Shannai's outfit and appearance, and said, "It's okay, I just ran into a wild cat that has become a spirit."
Baili Yu was startled, his eyes widened, and he chuckled dryly, "Is this true? Is it a mutant beast? How big is it? Is it powerful?"
“…” Su Cheng took a breath, glanced at him, ignored him and walked away.
Baili Yu is an avid mutant beast lover and researcher.
It was obviously just a joke, but he took it seriously. Su Cheng didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Baili Yu looked regretful and hurriedly caught up with Su Cheng to continue asking, "I'm asking you a question, why are you ignoring me? What does a wild cat look like? Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
…
Su Cheng was almost annoyed to death by Baili Yu behind him.
All the way, this thing never shut up and kept asking questions.
Su Cheng is the leader of the Sunset Red Camp. He has a group of teammates who are friends with him and Baili Yu is one of them.
The Sunset Red Camp is different from other base camps. It is mostly populated by elderly people, women and children.
Su Cheng is a fifth-stage early-stage power-type mutant. Before the end of the world, he was the head coach of a martial arts gym, so naturally his skills are not bad.
The reason for establishing the Sunset Red Camp is out of sympathy for vulnerable survivors.
The post-apocalyptic world is in chaos, and the old, weak, sick and disabled have become a burden to the young and middle-aged people.
This type of people are usually the first to be bitten by zombies and abandoned by their companions.
Su Cheng was raised by his grandparents, so he really couldn't ignore those poor old people.
He also knew that only the fittest survive in the natural selection.
If you save one, there will be a second and then three...
He could only do his best.
Su Cheng didn't want to be a leader, but he gradually made friends with a group of like-minded partners along the way, and more and more people were willing to follow him.
The Sunset Red Camp was thus established.
Their camp has several purification-type psychics and a team that was engaged in water resources research before the end of the world. They are usually responsible for purifying the water, and the purified water is then exchanged for other supplies.
The Sunset Red Camp is mostly populated by the elderly, the weak, the sick and the young, and the biggest problem with mortality is the underlying diseases that the elderly have.
This time he went to the black market center to see if he could buy medicines related to the three highs and cardiovascular diseases.
As Su Cheng just took a shortcut out of the small road, he saw that the galangal was surrounded by patches of man-eating grass.
He twisted his neck and pressed the tip of his tongue against the back of his teeth.
"Damn, it's only been a month since I last came here, how come this damn grass is growing so fast?" Baili Yu muttered as he followed.
"Look, Dachengzi, the broken grass is going to eat people! It looks like a child!" Baili Yu jumped around and pointed at the galangal that was tightly wrapped like a dumpling by the man-eating grass.
"Boom—" Red flames suddenly ignited.
Accompanied by crackling sounds, the lush grass and branches instantly turned into rotten wood and dead branches, standing there like a dark phantom.
Then a gust of scorching hot wind blew and everything turned to ashes.
"Our flame-explosive bullets are not exaggerated, huh." Shannai touched his nose and put away the golden pistol.
[Hmm, Flameblast is the latest unlocked effect bullet. A single spark can start a prairie fire, and it's a particularly good area of effect damage.]
The entrance to this black market is so secretive that Shannai couldn't find where to start after searching for a long time.
Finally, she accidentally came here because of the special task prompt triggered in the background.
"The quest isn't in this pile of man-eating weeds... but look, there's an unblocked subway entrance over there!"
Shanna excitedly pointed to the stairs in front of him, and his soft tail swayed behind him.
Baili Yu was stunned the moment he saw Shannai emerge from the fire.
"Ah...this, this, this...she? Is it..." Baili Yu just realized now that Su Cheng was joking when he said about the wild cat that had become a spirit.
Seeing Baili Yu's face twitching and stuttering, Su Cheng looked at him with disgust and said, "Yes, yes, yes."
After saying that, Su Cheng strode towards the exit F.
That’s right, Exit F is the only entrance to the black market center.
When he saw the girl with cat ears again, Su Cheng knew that he had underestimated her.
"Da Chengzi, wait for me!"
Just as Shanna was about to go down the stairs, he heard someone howling behind him.
She turned around and saw that the burly man in the white vest was almost behind her.
I was just lamenting that I forgot to tell that man about the location of the supermarket, but I didn’t expect to meet him again.
"Squeak! Chirp—"
“Chirp, chirp!”
A strange, sharp, piercing sound came from the underground passage.
