Mrs. Wang paused for a moment, her smile on her face. "You're such an interesting person, girl. It's been a decade since the apocalypse, and the base is fully equipped. We used to run a business there, but the people who came in basically didn't come to eat or drink, let alone a small restaurant like ours. So I discussed it with my husband, and we decided to open a restaurant in the wild, just like those safe houses out there, to take care of the psychics passing by."
"The base even gave us some commendation funds for this matter and supported us in doing this!"
Mrs. Wang pulled her into the restaurant.
Pressing her shoulder, she said, "Come, sit here, girl. I'll get you the menu."
As soon as Pei Xiqing came in, she inevitably attracted the attention of everyone in the restaurant.
Even if she wore a mask, she couldn't avoid being slapped in the face by people's glares.
Pei Xiqing is used to it.
She took the menu and looked at it calmly.
I didn't expect the dishes there to be quite normal. They only cook dishes in the apocalypse, and their kitchen is open, so you can see that everything there is freshly cooked.
There is no big problem with the ingredients.
There was also a cow's carcass hanging next to the chopping board. Whoever ordered beef would use it to cut the beef directly.
Pei Xiqing often ate beef at the base. Firstly, Xiaoyu also liked it, and secondly, Duan Xiaolin would always bring back a large piece. She didn't have much interest in meat now.
Ordered two vegetarian dishes and a bowl of porridge.
The proprietress was still trying to sell beef: "Girl, if you don't like beef, we also have lamb, pork, and chicken here! We have everything you want to eat!"
Pei Xiqing refused: "No thanks."
The lady boss laughed and said, "Oh, you only eat so little, no wonder you have such a great figure!"
Pei Xiqing: ...
As soon as these words came out, she could clearly feel the gaze that had finally dispersed somewhat, once again focusing on her.
She sat in a relatively corner position.
The restaurant is actually quite small inside.
It can barely accommodate four tables.
She sat on the side, and there were people at two tables on her left.
They are the people with special abilities who just got off the car.
Those people turned their gaze back to her.
Pei Xiqing has been trying to dress as low-key and loose as possible, but some things are still unavoidable, such as the characteristics of a woman's body.
She was not as thin as Pei Yanting, and was as thin as a bamboo pole. Her figure was well-proportioned, which made her female identity visible at a glance.
There are at least ten people with special abilities in total.
But for her, it's a piece of cake.
She could ignore thousands or tens of thousands of eyes looking at her, let alone just a few of them.
Pei Xiqing calmly took off her mask, drank a sip of hot tea, and as expected, someone couldn't wait to chat her up.
"Beauty, which team are you from...???"
Before she could finish her words, a horned snake emerged from her palm.
The color is dark and green, like a python in the jungle ready to pounce.
Pei Xiqing looked up: "What did you say?"
The man took a look at the strange power in her palm, then looked at Pei Xi's face, and quickly noticed the saber in her backpack. He took two steps back: "No... It's okay, it's okay."
Pei Xiqing closed his palms.
Continue drinking tea.
Because of her actions, the people around her no longer dared to act rashly, and even looked at her cautiously.
Finally it became quiet.
Pei Xi's love dishes were also served.
She wasn't even afraid of the zombie virus, let alone them poisoning the food, especially these dishes. She had just watched them being prepared in the kitchen and hadn't noticed anything wrong.
Took two bites.
The taste is average.
Walking in the wilderness in the apocalypse, such hot meals are indeed something that can restore the physical strength of those with special abilities in distress.
She took two bites and stopped eating.
The store was bustling with people, and business seemed to be good.
Pei Xiqing only then truly realized how many people there were in the wilderness in the apocalypse. For every number of people enjoying themselves in the base, there were just as many struggling in the wilderness.
However, the appearance of these people is a little unclear, and their identities are unclear.
Some well-equipped people who looked like they were from the base would sit together with people who were obviously from the wild team and whisper something.
Then both parties put something on a plate and handed it to the proprietress, who would then secretly slip the something to the other party.
Although this kind of transaction method is easy to be exposed, it is estimated that everyone in the room knows the truth, so it can only deceive outsiders.
Pei Xiqing saw through it but didn't say anything. He drank his tea silently and eavesdropped on their conversation with his ears perked up.
The distance was not far, and their voices were low, so only intermittent words could be heard.
"Sixth Base."
"Ten high-level crystal cores."
“High-quality goods.”
And she sensitively captured the two words "㱕" - "black market".
Pei Xiqing's eyelashes moved subconsciously.
The black market... is in the Sixth Base? That's not right. The Third Base was just destroyed, and the Sixth Base will take its place...
Is there any connection between the destruction of the Third Base and the sudden rise of the Sixth Base?
She couldn't help but think of the video Pei Yanting showed her.
What role did Brother Duan play in this?
While Pei Xiqing was thinking, the proprietress, Mrs. Wang, came over. She couldn't help but look at her a few times, then smiled and poured her a refill of hot tea: "This tea is delicious, girl, you are really pretty."
Pei Xiqing looked at her and didn't speak for a moment.
She is a little fat, has almond-shaped eyes, and looks a little smart.
The lady boss laughed again: "There aren't many people with delicate skin and tender flesh in the Doomsday World, but you better be careful, because someone like you is an easy target for the Doomsday World."
"What goal?"
"Haha..." The woman laughed and whispered, "Black market, you should have heard it just now, but it's not a good place to go, especially for a young girl like you."
"Is this a news station? Or a trading place that serves as a front for the black market?" Pei Xiqing asked softly, "If the black market is related to this place, I'd like to know something."
The proprietress raised an eyebrow: "Oh."
People don't speak in secret.
But she obviously didn't expect Pei Xiqing to say it so bluntly.
It seems that this little girl knows some tricks and is not a silly little flower.
She said, “What do you want to know?”
"I want to know—"
"How do I get to the black market?"
