Chapter 65: Surprise



Yan Xinian showed Xia Lunong the supplies they had exchanged, and then told Xia Lunong that they would have to stay here for another day.

Yan Xinian said, "Your brother and I are going to meet the current boss of Yacheng. You and Kong Zhi can go to the night market to have a look. If everything goes well, we will set off back to the base early tomorrow morning."

Xia Lunong looked at them nervously, "Will there be any danger?"

Xia Huoqu said, "Basically not. The strength of our base is also good. If there is no conflict, there won't be too much danger."

Xia Lunong became more nervous, "Then there is still danger?"

Yan Xinian smiled and put his arm around Xia Huoqu's shoulders. , said to Xia Lunong: "If there is any danger, we will immediately change back to beast form and escape. When you and Kong Zhi hear the noise, how about letting Kong Zhi catch you and fly back?"

Xia Huoqu nudged him with his elbow and frowned: "What time is it? Are you still joking?"

He then said to his brother: "We are all normal people. We have no conflict of interest. They are not antisocial. How dangerous are they?" After

Xia Huoqu finished speaking, he sent Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi out to visit the night market.

One of the characteristics of Nha Thanh is the developed night market. It would be a pity if you don't take a good look when you come here.

Compared with the night market last night, today's night market lacks their stalls, and the flow of people is relatively small, and it doesn't look that lively.

Xia Lunong turned around curiously to observe the scenes on both sides.

There were only food stalls on both sides of the road, and behind the food stalls were storefronts.

Pedestrians walked along the street in groups of two or three, constantly entering and exiting the shops.

There were mostly simple tables and chairs placed next to the food stalls, and many people were eating now.

Almost every food stall had a small exposed electric light hanging on it, the light was orange, illuminating this small area.

There were also small electric lights hanging in the shops behind the food stalls, which looked very rough and simple.

Kong Zhi was carrying a bag of rice and pulled his wrist forward, "Let's see what you want to buy today?"

Xia Lunong nodded vigorously, turning his head to look around, "I didn't look carefully yesterday, there are so many goods here."

Yesterday he just browsed the snack stalls, bought some snacks casually, and went back to do business.

Today, I saw it again and realized that there was everything in the night market, including pots, pans, clothes, bedding, hardware stores and even weapon stores.

This was the first time Xia Lunong had gone shopping seriously since she woke up, and she didn't know where to look for a moment.

Kong Zhi and he went to each store one by one. When the shop owners saw the rice in their baskets, most of them were very enthusiastic and recommended their products.

"Clothes - big-brand clothes - brother, come and take a look at the clothes!" The crisp female voice floated over the night market, and each sentence was full of rhythm, just like singing.

Xia Lunong was attracted by the boss next to her. When the female boss looked at him, she smiled even more brilliantly, "These clothes of mine were all famous brands before the catastrophe. You are so handsome and have a good figure, you must look good in them! Come in and have a look?"

Xia Lunong's ears turned red because of her praise. She avoided her gaze and coughed lightly, wanting to talk to Kong Zhi.

Kong Zhi paused, turned around and pushed him, "Take a look."

Xia Lunong didn't really want to buy clothes, but after being pushed into the store by Kong Zhi, she couldn't take her eyes away soon.

These clothes are dazzling, and they are indeed international famous brands, with good materials and strong sense of design.

The female boss glanced at him, quickly took out several sets of clothes, put them in front of him, and said with a smile: "These are all cool and handsome clothes, which match your temperament very well. Why don't you try them on?"

Xia Lunong touched her short flat head and felt that it didn't match her temperament very well, but her hairstyle very well.

Kong Zhi said: "Go ahead, I'll look at things outside."

Xia Lunong took the clothes in to try them on. The finely tailored clothes made him look even slimmer and longer, and he looked very tall.

He came out and looked left and right in the mirror.

Kong Zhi said to the boss: "I want this set."

The boss smiled and said, "Okay. This set is also suitable for this guy, and I have boots here - come on, brother, try this one."

Xia Lunong turned to look at Kong Zhi.

Kong Zhi had a supportive expression on his face, so Xia Lunong took the clothes to the fitting room to try them on.

Xia Lunong has the typical appearance of a delicate beauty, with a round skull, high brow bones, deep and long eyes, a narrow face and white skin. Standing in the crowd, he can be eye-catching.

With his appearance, he would look good even in a sack, not to mention the well-tailored brand-name clothes before the catastrophe.

After walking out of the fitting room, he seemed to be glowing, standing out from the crowd.

The female boss's eyes lit up and she praised sincerely: "Young man, you look so good in this!"

Kong Zhi couldn't take his eyes away and nodded.

An hour later, Kong Zhi used 20 kilograms of rice to buy him 35 pieces of clothes, 10 pairs of underwear, 10 pairs of socks and two pairs of shoes.

Xia Lunong stood there for a long time and let him dress up. When he finally decided to leave the store, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He never thought that Kong Zhi, who looked cold, actually had a hobby of dressing up.

After finally walking out of the clothing store, Xia Lunong refused to go into the clothing store again, and only dragged Kong Zhi to visit other stores.

Most of the things in these stores in Nha Teng are also available in the market in their base, but they are not so complete and not so exquisite.

Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi walked along the street and soon found an electronic product store, which had mobile phones, computers, game consoles, electronic readers, etc.

There is electricity in Nha Teng, even if there is no Internet connection, these electronic devices can be used.

After seeing these things, Xia Lunong was stunned for a moment. He was temporarily freed from his poor life and realized again that they did not return to ancient times, but a catastrophe that could be called the end of the world occurred in this world.

The two bought computers, mobile phones, hard drives and electronic readers, and also bought two more power banks. All electronic products were stored with things, such as movies, TV series, songs, and e-books.

After a difficult bargaining, these electronic products cost them a total of 80 kilograms of rice.

Xia Lunong held the electronic products and felt as if he was in another world.

The boss specifically told them that if they had finished reading the resources in the electronic products, they could come over and make copies. It was not expensive just to make copies.

Xia Lunong took these things with mixed feelings and returned to the hotel with Kong Zhi.

He used to think that it was not worth it to go out and look for the generator components, and then he would have to spend a lot of effort to maintain the safety of the river and ensure that the generator could keep running.

Now seeing these electronic products, he came to his senses. They were not looking for generators, they were trying to recover the lost civilization step by step.

Xia Lunong was distracted all the time. Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian still found it strange when they came back. They asked him, but he didn't say anything. They had to put the matter aside for the time being and prepare to go back.

Xia Lunong didn't know what his brother and his brother Xinian talked about with the people in Yacheng, but they left very smoothly. No one stopped them. There was no need for Kong Zhi to secretly carry the weapons and seeds to the sky. They could just transport them out with a truck.

When they came, their truck was full of crabs and bullfrogs, and when they left, they were loaded with weapons, live poultry, grain, etc.

They had exchanged so much supplies that day that even if more than 80% of them were exchanged, there were still more than 1,000 kilograms of various supplies left, just enough for the small truck to carry.

Their truck had been inspected and cleaned, and the whole truck was very tidy, and the things in the truck were also arranged neatly.

Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian took turns driving in the cab, while Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi were in the back, lying in the pile of supplies, playing with their mobile phones, and slowly went back as the truck swayed.

The weather was already very hot. Birds and cicadas were chirping outside the car race. The truck started moving under the bright sunshine, bringing gusts of cool breeze.

Xia Lunong lay in the middle of the supplies and rested after playing with electronic products.

Nothing happened on the way back, and they returned to the base smoothly.

This trip to Nha Thanh took a total of eight days, including the six days spent on the round trip and the two days spent in Nha Thanh.

When they returned to the base, Xia Lunong felt that the whole base seemed a little different.

The people in the base hadn't seen them for a long time, and they were very happy to see them back, and they came up to say hello.

They brought back so many things, especially the weapons. The people in the base came to watch, passing them around one by one, and they were as happy as if it was New Year's Day.

Chickens, ducks, geese, bamboo rats and other living creatures also aroused great interest among the female compatriots in the base, and even brought their children over.

Their home welcomed a rare bustle, but Xia Huoqu and Kong Zhi were not talkative people, and Xia Lunong was tired, so in the end it was Yan Xinian who greeted them.

Xia Lunong listened from the side, and when he heard his brother Xinian's description, he felt like he was listening to a storytelling. The ups and downs of the plot made people suspect that they were not going out, but going to a magical world.

Especially the startled wows of the children around them, it was like listening to a monkey show.

Xia Lunong smiled and went to wash up. After eating some food in the cafeteria, he went back to his room and fell asleep on the bed.

The next day, he woke up refreshed and looked back to find that his brother had just woken up and was washing up.

The water tank was filled yesterday. Xia Lunong scooped out some water and brought it under the eaves. While washing his face next to his brother, he said, "It would be great if our base also had running water."

"We don't have enough manpower now. We'll talk about it during the winter," Xia Huo said. "Getting running water is a big project. We have to find a water pipe outside first."

Xia Lunong covered her face with a handkerchief and muttered, "It's a pity that we are too remote here. There doesn't seem to be any industrial area nearby."

"There are many mutated animals and plants in the industrial area. It's convenient but dangerous. It's not as safe as here."

Xia Lunong asked, "What about Yacheng? Yacheng has so many resources. Is there an industrial area or a big city nearby?"

"No, they just took advantage of the location. After the disaster, the whole ancient town was well preserved and could be lived in after a little repair. Unlike us, we had to build from scratch."

Xia Lunong asked casually, "Why didn't we find such an ancient town at that time?"

"How can there be so many ancient towns waiting for us to settle down?" Xia Huoqu brushed his teeth and washed his face, poured water on the strawberries, and said, "The ancient towns were not originally the territory of Boss Shi and his people. They were occupied later."

Xia Lunong was shocked, "Huh?"

Xia Huoqu didn't say much, and changed the subject, "What are you doing today?"

Xia Lunong said, "I haven't been to the fields for a long time. I'll go to the fields first. If it's still early, I'll take a closer look at the wheat seeds we brought back and look for the mysteries hidden in them."
