Pei Xiqing didn't notice his gaze, only staring at the road ahead, saying as she walked, "It's a bit... unbelievable."
It's also unreasonable.
In this modern world where both technology and equipment are far superior to hers, there are still such outdated, laughable and vulgar things. It is really speechless.
However, it may also be related to the ratio of men and women who have awakened superpowers in the apocalypse.
If I remember correctly, the ratio of men to women in awakening superpowers is seriously unbalanced, as high as fifty to one.
For every fifty men who awaken their special powers, only one woman will do so.
This has led to the world gradually moving towards male dominance.
The more she thought about it, the deeper she got into it. When she came to her senses, the man was looking at her with a half-smile.
Pei Xiqing asked: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just thought you said yes."
Pei Xiqing: "What did you just say?"
She was distracted and just remembered what Duan Xiaolin had said just now, but she couldn't remember the details.
Duan Xiaolin: "Nothing to say, just go ahead."
Pei Xi asked curiously, "Brother Duan, why are you here?"
There are also old people buying vegetables around here, it looks like another vegetable market in the base.
"I'm here to do something," the man said. "The base's water dungeon is not far behind."
"Were you there just now?"
"Yes." He walked at a steady pace. "I also went to the dungeon."
"Hmm..." She could guess.
Since the execution ground was led by Franlon, he would definitely be there.
Pei Xiqing looked behind him.
"What are you looking at?" he asked.
Pei Xiqing: "See if there's anyone following you."
"Is anyone there?" Duan Xiaolin held her hand to prevent her from walking backwards and bumping into the cart behind her.
"No……"
"Who do you want to see?" He saw what she was thinking. "Someone from Farrand?"
Pei Xiqing looked away guiltily, "No, never mind. It doesn't really matter."
Meeting the villain depends on luck, and she may not have that luck, so she will have to wait a little longer. The most important thing right now is to purchase the things the team needs, and to go home for dinner with Duan Xiaolin.
She held the man's hand and pulled him to the other side: "Hurry up, Sister Long Yan asked me to buy something, I haven't gone yet, you come with me."
Duan Xiaolin let her pull him along, his eyes fixed calmly on her hand, "What are you buying?"
"They said we'd be staying here for a while, but we'd still be leaving. Then they asked me to help them prepare some daily necessities and load them into the car." She took the man's hand and said, "Didn't everyone leave their car in City B before?
"Let's go."
As he said this, he led the increasingly deviant woman forward.
"This is it."
Pei Xiqing was confused: "Huh?"
The street ahead looks crowded with people and vendors. Why not go there? It looks more prosperous.
"That's the black market over there."
?
Pei Xiqing's eyes widened slightly: "There's a black market in the base?"
"Yeah," he said. "It's not allowed publicly, but it's still prevalent in private. Most of the black market is populated by people with special abilities reselling items looted from the dead. It involves so many people that the base hasn't dealt with it yet."
"Or, do you want to go? Maybe you can find something there."
"What's in there?"
"Jewelry, rare antiques, and some precious medicinal herbs."
"They must have been used by others before."
Reselling the belongings of the dead, I'm afraid it's some people with special abilities who go out to kill zombies and make ill-gotten gains by looting the bodies of the victims.
This is no different from stealing stolen goods from a tomb.
She wasn't interested.
Pei Xiqing glanced at the street corner with a black cloth hanging on it and chose to leave.
"If you want to go out, you can come in," said the man.
"No." She shook her head. "I feel like using it will shorten my lifespan."
Duan Xiaolin squeezed her hand and said with a smile, "I'll pay. Even if it's discounted, it's also my birthday."
"Then you can't buy it." She said seriously: "I'm just joking, don't take it seriously."
"And I'm really not that interested in that stuff."
Duan Xiaolin nodded: "Yes."
She and Duan Xiaolin went to the nearby commercial street together.
This place is different from all the places she passed by along the way. The streets and alleys and shops that extend in all directions fully demonstrate the diversity of materials in the apocalypse.
It's like a military factory.
There are shops of all sizes, and even the simplest daggers are divided into dozens of types.
"Don't miss it if you're passing by! The goods we have are the most comprehensive and fashionable in the entire base! Don't miss this opportunity!"
"Look at my phone! It's under a ten-year warranty. If it breaks, you can always come back to me for a replacement!"
"If you want to buy equipment, buy from us! We offer a 20-year warranty! Absolutely amazing!"
…
Pei Xiqing heard their shouting and secretly tugged at the man's clothes: "Twenty-year warranty? Really or fake?"
Even if it doesn't break after twenty years, it will at least become dull and rusty.
It's so exaggerated, are these weapons made of special materials?
"About the same." Duan Xiaolin casually pulled out a sharp dagger, the lens emitting a cold light. "Weapons made from a mixture of crystal cores and iron will indeed last longer than ordinary weapons, but twenty years is a bit too long. Ten years or so will be enough."
"That's pretty impressive."
There were still quite a lot of people shopping in the commercial street, most of them were psychics who came to replenish their equipment, and soon the store was packed with people.
Pei Xiqing was originally still looking at things by herself and had no intention of buying anything, but the shop owner, who was busy in the store, came over to greet her and Duan Xiaolin very enthusiastically as soon as he saw them.
"Oh my goodness, two distinguished guests have arrived in my little shop." The boss stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Whatever you need, feel free to pick it up. Whether there's food or not at the base, I have it all."
Pei Xiqing shook his head, "No need."
She had no idea about weapons and didn't know how to use them, especially cold weapons. When she encountered danger, it was more convenient to open her mouth and take a bite.
"Hey, miss, we have these two items in our store. The most popular items in the base lately are the Emei Sword and the heavy machine gun J-01389. These two items are a favorite combination among many girls in the base. For close combat, you can just use the sword, and for ranged combat, take out this gun. As many zombies as you can get, you'll kill them all."
Pei Xiqing smiled faintly: "Sword?"
