Chapter 247 Cat Salesperson
Several of the containers have been converted into pawnshops, buying and selling water from water-type mutants and vines from plant-type mutants.
A few exchanged for crystal cores, but most of them bartered for goods.
Any extra blankets or quilts can be traded.
Therefore, no one was interested in the crystal core that Yuan Xiaoni brought with him.
"Hey, wait. Your backpack is nice. Use it to exchange for two liters of water." The water-based mutant puffed out his neck proudly.
Yuan Xiaoni agreed readily, saying that two liters of water were enough for her and Li Heng to use for three days.
When Li Heng opened his eyes, he saw the girl coming back excitedly with two bottles of water. She was holding a lot of miscellaneous items in her hands, and the big backpack she had been carrying on her back was gone.
He frowned and asked, "Did you sell the backpack?"
"Yes! I didn't expect the backpack to be worth so much. I found it in the garbage dump."
"Then how do you pack these supplies?"
Yuan Xiaoni quickly took out a coat and wrapped all the miscellaneous items in it.
It's a bit sad.
Li Heng's brows were furrowed.
"I'm going hunting, maybe I can catch a mutant pheasant or something." He didn't want to continue eating and drinking for free at the girl's place. She sold her bag to him in exchange for water. If he continued to ignore her, it would be a bit too much.
Although the rain was light, it still did not stop.
The rain washed away the ruins, leaving the ground empty. The sky was blue-gray, the ground was dark black, and the turbid rain water fell on the ground, stirring up mud.
There are more and more survivors living in the containers, and they are all eager to join H City.
Due to the harsh weather, many central safe zones were destroyed, leaving a large number of survivors with nowhere to go.
Early in the morning, a group of people with special abilities blocked the gate of the city wall, hoping to be admitted into H City as soon as possible.
"Everyone, please be quiet. I know you are all feeling very heavy-hearted, but the residential areas in H City are currently full. If we want to absorb new residents, you will need to build your own houses. Also, the influx of a large number of survivors at once will affect the supply of materials. We also have to consider where to place you..." an elderly seventh-level water-based mutant said loudly.
"H City is so big, how could it not accommodate us? Anywhere is fine, even building our own house is no problem!"
"Yes, that's an excuse. Most of us here are esperates above level five, and we're the best in any base. Taking us in will increase your overall strength!"
"We also have water and planting abilities, and can participate in daily material production..."
People talked about it.
In order to provide daily supplies for these survivors, many small stalls moved their stalls near the city wall. Although the snacks they sold were all roasted leaves, leaf porridge and other snacks, no one was dissatisfied.
The vines of the planting-type mutants are not tasty, and eating too much is bad for the gallbladder.
The water-based psychic standing inside the city wall distributed water to each container for free, solving everyone's water problem.
Yuan Xiaoni also received two liters of water.
She was anxiously waiting for Li Heng in front of the container, but an entire afternoon had passed and he still hadn't returned from hunting.
*
The Tree of Life was sent back from the central base on the third day.
Two wilted fruits of life hung on the tree. The moment the tree was planted in the soil, the grass that had long been dead began to take root and sprout again, and all the fruit trees were growing vigorously.
The bare yard is now a thriving scene.
A transparent light screen spread out from the Tree of Life, and the golden light soon enveloped the entire villa.
"It's a light screen formed by the energy stored by the light-type mutant." Luo Jinbei murmured.
This light screen is the same as the one outside the central base, and can block rain from outside.
The third golden fruit slowly grew on the Tree of Life.
This fruit of life possesses powerful light-related abilities and can protect an area of one thousand meters around the tree of life.
As soon as Luo Yunjin went out, he saw the green vines of fruit trees climbing up the walls of the villa. The smell of the plants was very fresh.
After the Tree of Life landed, all the green vegetation in H City flourished and grew at the same time with it as the center.
All the survivors noticed the change.
The air became fresher, and the abilities of the planting-type psychics seemed to have become stronger. The fruit trees and vegetables planted today were particularly lush and leafy.
"Let's go sell fruits today!" Luo Yunjin asked his second brother to move all the fruits in the cellar into the wooden cart.
The girl was wearing a loose white long dress, her hair held together only by a gardenia hairpin.
The little kitten squatted on the cart. As Luo Jinbei pushed the cart, it was like a dandelion, with its fur fluttering in the wind.
Chen Yueliang was driving and Luo Yunjin was sitting in the passenger seat.
The second brother pushes the cart, and the little kitten is responsible for managing the fruits on the cart to prevent them from falling during transportation.
The cart is loaded with fruits, and wherever the wheels roll, there is a sweet fruity fragrance.
Many zombies and mutant animals smelled the scent and followed behind.
Before we even reached the center of H city, many passersby saw the fruit and wanted to buy some.
Although the colors are strange, they even eat roasted leaves, so these cold-colored fruits are nothing special.
"Big brother, our fruit is very fresh, and it has the effect of replenishing superpowers. It is edible by all types of superpower users, regardless of their species. If you feel that the shelf life is not long, you can also squeeze the juice yourself." Luo Jinbei introduced to the bus driver who was looking at the fruit.
"Replenish superpowers? When I saw your black pears, I thought of frozen pears. Give me a few. How much are they?" The driver got out of the car in a hurry holding an umbrella.
On the cart, the kitten, wearing a small raincoat, skillfully used its claws to scratch the cardboard wrapped in plastic wrap, on which the price of the fruit was written.
All fruits are sold individually, and each fruit, regardless of variety, is sold with one third-level crystal core.
The price is relatively affordable, a little cheaper than the fruits grown on fruit trees created by ordinary psychics.
"Then give me ten pears." The driver directly gave a fourth-level lightning crystal core.
The kitten continued to play the role of a tool cat. It grabbed a plastic bag with its little paws and put ten pears in it.
The bus driver stared at the cat curiously. "Your cat is quite smart. Is it a male cat? What a coincidence! I also have a little silver tabby cat at home. How about we get together? It is said that there is a certain probability that a silver tabby cat and a silver tabby cat will give birth to a little fat golden cat~"
The little kitten was stunned for a moment, then retracted its little paws into its raincoat and kicked its paws.
"It's been sterilized." Luo Jinbei couldn't refuse directly, so he just made up a reason.
The little kitten's ears twitched a few times and its little mouth pouted very low.
"Ah? That's a pity." The bus driver picked up the pear and left.
He returned to the car and found a small can of dried fish in the drawer. "It's been a while since I've seen such a cute and well-behaved cat. This is the canned food I saved. Cats love it."
He put the cans on the cart and left.
Luo Yunjin didn't expect to meet a bus driver who loves cats.
This can of food can be regarded as a tip that the kitten earns for himself.
As more and more zombies and mutant animals followed behind, more and more passers-by were attracted.
But they are all cautious.
It was not until they saw the owner of the milk tea shop bought three pounds of purple strawberries that they rushed forward to buy them.
Since it involves supernatural powers and considering the shelf life of the fruit, most people just treat it as a toy and stop buying one or two.
This made the kitten very busy. Its little paws kept fiddling with the fruits, and its movements became more and more smooth.
Chen Yueliang always controlled the speed of the car to be parallel to the speed of Luo Jinbei pushing the cart.
Before they reached the survivor gathering area, most of the fruit on the cart had already been sold.
Zombies and mutated animals are common on the streets. You can often see zombies and passers-by gathering in front of a stall, and they will also go to watch acrobatics.
A mutant squirrel was squatting on a stone and chewing chestnuts. It blinked its big eyes and was not panicked when it saw someone passing by.
As long as you are patted on the head, you will get a wild chestnut.
There are many wild chestnut trees in the forest, and these chestnuts have a very astringent taste, so no business would consider selling them as snacks.
As a result, these chestnut trees attracted many mutant squirrels to live there.
Most mutant squirrels have activated speed-related abilities, and many stalls and restaurants employ mutant squirrels. They deliver food quickly, and all they have to pay them is peeled chestnuts.
H City has evolved into a city where survivors, zombies and mutant animals coexist.
Due to hygiene issues, zombies cannot work in the catering industry, but because of their nimble hands and feet, they are also hired by many newly built factories to do assembly line work.
It's very harmonious and reuses everyone's advantages.
Gu Xixi's milk tea shop has become a popular check-in store in H City. It offers different drinks in the morning, noon and evening, and residents living nearby go there to buy them almost every day.
You can smell the aroma of milk tea from far away on the street.
People come and go.
"Can these purple cucumbers replenish superpowers?" a woman wearing pink artificial flowers on her head asked critically. "Can they be used as a facial mask?"
"Yes, it's the same as ordinary cucumbers." Luo Jinbei explained patiently.
"I've packed up the remaining cucumbers." A middle-aged man in a white lab coat walked over quickly. Seeing that there were still quite a few cucumbers left on the cart, he breathed a sigh of relief. "I just happened to need some cucumbers for an experiment, and I'd also like to study why your fruit has the ability to replenish superpowers."
The kitten quickly packed the remaining six cucumbers.
"Wait, I saw it first." The big flower on the woman's head was trembling. She wanted to grab the kitten's claws, but the kitten dodged it cleverly.
"I need this urgently. There are other fruits here." The middle-aged man pointed to the small black tomatoes beside him.
"How can that be? I'm using them as a facial mask. I don't care. These cucumbers are mine." The woman threw away the crystal core and snatched the plastic bag.
Luo Yunjin was dozing off in the car and opened the window when he heard the argument.
The woman was deeply amazed when she saw the girl's delicate face and smooth, fair skin.
"Girl, you have such great skin," she said sincerely.
Luo Yunjin glanced at the bright pink artificial flowers on her head. "Do you want to use cucumber as a facial mask? I have better fruits here. The effect is more obvious than cucumber, but it's a bit expensive."
She took out a beauty fruit from her backpack.
Pale yellow spots of light linger on the fruit, making it look very beautiful.
"This is a beauty fruit. You can eat it directly. It has a good whitening effect. I think you stay up late too often. Your skin is dull and has some dark spots. You have oily skin, large pores, and it's peeling." Luo Yunjin looked at him carefully and analyzed.
"Is this fruit really useful?" The woman threw the bag of cucumbers aside and looked at the beauty fruit in Luo Yunjin's hand, her eyes shining.
"Of course, a beauty fruit requires a sixth-level planting crystal core." Luo Yunjin put the glowing fruit into a small wooden box. "If it doesn't work, you can ask me to return the crystal core. The effect will be seen in one day."
"I'll buy it!" The woman took out a green crystal core without saying a word.
She had always been very kind to herself. This kind of fruit with special effects was hard to come by. The girl in front of her looked so well-maintained, she must have eaten the beauty fruit.
She might become a great beauty.
The woman couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
She took the small wooden box carefully as if it were a treasure.
Then, without waiting, he took out the fruit and swallowed it without even chewing it.
Luo Yunjin's pupils trembled. This was a ruthless person.
The woman finally swallowed the fruit as big as a pigeon egg, her face flushed red.
Many passers-by were watching the show, and everyone was staring at her face.
"I feel like my face is starting to itch." The woman touched her face excitedly.
Black spots of oil began to appear on her skin, and the smell was foul.
Luo Yunjin hurriedly said, "Go back and take a shower before coming out. You must have too many toxins in your body. This smell is very bad."
The woman also realized that something was wrong. She could feel the changes in herself and her whole body smelled bad.
She rushed out of the crowd, and as she ran, black oil spots on her body spilled out.
Passersby avoid him like snakes and scorpions.
There was still a faint sour smell in the air.
"Thank you for selling me the cucumbers." The middle-aged man recovered and picked up the bag of cucumbers. "You must be Miss Luo. I've heard that you can grow fruits with special functions."
Luo Yunjin saw the name and laboratory name marked on the man’s badge.
A very familiar name.
"Did you discover the zombie virus?" She had a bad feeling in her heart.
"That's right! We have recently been developing technology to remove viruses from the soil, and the fruits you planted are important breakthroughs." The middle-aged man said excitedly.
Luo Yunjin pondered for a moment, "Is there a person with special abilities named Chang Yinxue in your place? Her special ability is bone softening."
"Yes, yes, yes, do you know her? Chang Yinxue not only has special abilities, but she has also researched all the mutant plants we have here. She's amazing!"
Luo Yunjin didn't expect that the plot of the original book had changed again.
This laboratory called Resurrection is a foreshadowing of the second season in the original comics. The specific reason for the appearance of zombies is unclear until the end, but at the end of the comics, the first zombie resurrected by the potion comes from this laboratory.
And the main experimenter is Chang Yinhua, who can soften bones and fabricate bone age at will. She is a woman who is extremely cruel to herself.
She is also one of the female supporting roles of the original male protagonist Li Heng. Although she does not appear in a large part of the whole text, she is definitely a strong woman with both high IQ and EQ.
But this laboratory and this woman now appear in H City.
In the original comic, Chang Yinhua was the last female supporting character to appear.
So the storyline of this world is almost over???
Luo Yunjin became a little panicked. Although the system was gone, she did not belong to this world. When the comic story ended, she would most likely return to the real world directly.
What about Lin Xi and their children?

The little Dandelion kitten ran around the house, its fur flying all over the sky.
