"Brother Qiang, I think these two are not simple. The guy who was talking just now looks like he was in the military. The way he walks is different from ordinary people. And his eyes are like a wolf's. He's probably not someone you can easily talk to."
"What are you afraid of? We have guns and men. Even if he was a soldier, the government doesn't care about him anymore."
This is the apocalypse. Whoever has the strongest fist gets to do what they say. He's all alone, and he's even accompanied by a delicate little beauty, so he must be quite capable.
Let's call more people over; maybe his space contains something we need, like medicine or something.
"Brother Qiang, you're absolutely right! Let's go, I'll keep an eye on them, you hurry up and call some men over." The bald man said, picking up his gun and chasing after the direction Xiao Lingfeng and Jian Ning had gone.
Jian Ning spotted them when they were less than a kilometer away.
"Someone is following us. Did they discover a storage space?"
"Maybe we should hurry. Let's load all the building materials first, then we can see what kind of organization this is. If they have guns, they must have a team." Xiao Lingfeng pulled Jian Ning and the other person into the air on their swords. They disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The bald man, gun in hand, ran to the spot where the two men had disappeared, then immediately lost his bearings. This straight, wide road... living people just vanished? Could it be a ghost story?
After circling around in place for a while, he finally turned around and ran back.
Jian Ning and Xiao Lingfeng had already arrived at the building materials base. It covered a considerable area. A large portion of the materials were buried in the mud. Even digging them out would take some effort.
Fortunately, these things are not afraid of water. There are many of them, including tiles, paint, doors and windows, lamps, and bathroom fixtures.
"Xiao Ning, go upstairs and take a look, pick out what's useful."
"What about you? You're not thinking of digging these out, are you?" Jian Ning glanced at the things in the mud, a little disgusted.
"These paints and coatings are all in sealed containers, so they don't affect their use at all."
"It's a waste to leave it here, and the floor tiles and such can be used. Give me a 'Sinking Earth' talisman, I'll collect some useful things downstairs first."
Seeing that Xiao Lingfeng insisted, Jian Ning had no choice but to take out a bunch of talismans from her bracelet and hand them to him.
"Take whatever you need, I'm going upstairs."
Xiao Lingfeng took it and agreed. He put the extra talismans into his spatial storage first, and then affixed the Earth-Trapping Talisman to himself.
Using the cleaning technique while clearing things out is a very effective combination.
Everything he put into his space was not only cleaned, but also disinfected and sterilized. It's truly an essential and useful skill for both home and travel.
Jian Ning also made a good discovery upstairs; the terrain here is high, and none of the shops on the top floor got flooded.
The things inside were just covered in dust and leaves blown in by the wind.
It can be used after a simple cleaning.
So she didn't let even a nail go unpunished; she went to a room and took everything inside.
She was happy to receive the gifts, but she didn't expect to keep Nalan Rong inside the space so busy.
How can a competent housekeeper allow these things to be left scattered outside in a mess?
He was almost obsessive-compulsive, so he meticulously categorized everything Jian Ning threw in, from a small nail to a pile of steel.
To house these things, he specially designated a large area at the foot of a distant mountain and even built a shed for it.
Although they collected quite a few things, they only found some white cement, and still no cement for building houses. Jian Ning thought for a moment that these large quantities of goods must have been stored in a special warehouse.
They wouldn't move it upstairs to sell, so they went downstairs to find Xiao Lingfeng. He hadn't finished on the first floor yet; he was digging out a rather large root carving made of wood.
"What's the use of this? To chop it up for firewood? Is it worth all that effort?" Jian Ning went over and offered a helping hand, asking with a smile.
“I really like it. I'll put it at home and use it as a coffee table for tea. It has a very artistic feel. There are two in total. I'll give the other one to Brother Xiao. He'll definitely like it.”
"Okay, you seem to care about him even more than I do."
Jian Ning only realized now that she had forgotten about Xiao Wuyu in all her busyness, and didn't even know if he had finished refining the disguise pill.
But I don't have time to go in and see him right now.
"There's no cement upstairs, so do we have to go to the factory for bricks and tiles?"
"Let me see where the cement factory is on the map." Xiao Lingfeng took out the map from his pocket and looked at it. The cement factory and the brick factory were both quite far from here, on the western edge of the city, near the hillside.
"Finish this place first before going over. Have you finished upstairs?"
"No, about half an hour more." Jian Ning estimated the time, then turned and went upstairs again.
The two of them are busy here.
They had no idea that the people looking for them had practically turned half the city upside down.
The bearded man went back and told his boss that all the grain in the granary had been taken away by someone who might have supernatural abilities. He immediately panicked.
The more than 1,000 people under his command need to have something to eat every day, and because there is a reserve of grain in the granary, they have not been in a hurry.
They simply send out small teams every day to collect edible food in the city. The grain in the granaries is reserved for when there is absolutely no food left; it's a lifesaver.
Moreover, if that person really has storage space, they would take away countless supplies that they depend on for survival, which is absolutely unacceptable.
"Immediately send everyone out to search, armed with guns. If they go to Liu Lao Er's place, shoot them dead. This secret must not be known to him."
"Yes, boss, I know what I'm doing. Even if we don't eat this grain ourselves, we can't let it fall into the hands of Liu Lao Er and his gang."
After the bearded man finished speaking, he quickly ran out, sending everyone out except for the elderly and children who were unable to move.
I specifically mentioned that both the man and woman were very good-looking, and you could tell at a glance they were from out of town.
They divided the area into groups of five. With fewer people, they worried they wouldn't be a match for the two of them.
After all, Xiao Lingfeng was clearly a capable person, and he didn't take Jian Ning seriously. No matter how capable a woman was, she couldn't beat three or five grown men.
Skinny Monkey led four people on a patrol of the building materials market; they had run all the way there.
Because the bearded man said that if these two were captured alive, each person would receive twenty days' worth of rations, plus an extra ten cans of meat as a reward.
If you die, the reward is halved.
This was already enough to make them risk their lives to find people. Now, nothing could drive them to madness more than food, all for the sake of surviving one more day.
They'd be willing to break their own arms and legs for food. Let alone just arresting someone. If only there were a few good things like this every day!
