Chapter 50: The Arrogant Woman

"All in all, don't let anyone know that you are evolutionaries. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Cong Shan said righteously.

Several people looked at each other and nodded.

Cong Shan continued: "In the base, people like us who live on the periphery eat and drink on their own. People with strong physical strength go to work on the construction site of the base, and they can make do with enough food every day. The next time they sell the things they bring in the small market, people who really can't help it will follow the army to open up the surrounding wasteland and collect goods. ”

Without evolutionaries, it is easy for ordinary people to fall into danger when they fight zombies. No one wants to leave the base unless they have to.

Ye Ming and the others are not ordinary people, so they are naturally not afraid of zombies.

"We go out of the city to collect things ourselves." Ye Ming said: "Cong Shan and Zhang Cheng, you stay, Tianxin Fang Bing will go out with me." ”

"That's not going to work." Cong Shan shook his head, "Only the three of you went out, and you went separately from the army, there must be people who suspect it after a long time." Tianxin and Fang Bing went out one at a time, and I will go with you. And we should go with the army, so that's normal. There are no more than ten teams in the base that can go out alone to collect supplies, and it is too high-profile for us to act alone as soon as we get here. ”

So things settled.

It just so happened that tomorrow there was a task for the army to go out of the city to collect supplies.

Loudspeakers in the city repeatedly broadcast that people who needed to go out with the army to collect supplies should sign up at the office before evening.

This matter will be done by Cong Shan, and Tianxin will go out in the afternoon to contact the people above and hand over the box. Fang Bing sorted out his things, watched the car and took care of the jungle, and Zhang Cheng followed Ye Ming to the small market to buy some things to prepare for tomorrow's action.

I didn't have much time, so I hurriedly ate two bites of food and went our separate ways.

According to Cong Shan's description, Ye Ming and Zhang Cheng went to the nearest small market to them.

It is said that it is a small market, but it is actually not small. It's a flea market where people on the outskirts of the base gather spontaneously to dispose of things they bring and don't need to exchange with others. As the population on the periphery of the base grew, the market grew larger and larger, and later there were several murders due to transactions, and the place was taken over by the base army.

After the military takeover, the chaos within the small markets gradually improved, but as a result, there was a new regulation - a tax of 5 percent was levied on transactions within the market.

Ye Ming brought three packets of instant noodles, two ham sausages, and a small bag of rice. In Cong Shan's description, these items belonged to the more expensive foods in the small market, and he wanted to exchange them for offensive weapons such as knives and iron rods.

When I went to catch up with the base to start work, most of the people went to work on the construction site, and the small market was sparsely populated. The stall setters sat lazily on the ground, looking like they were about to fall asleep. Ye Ming took Zhang Cheng to look at one stall after another, and within a few steps, he saw a stall with three swords on it.

"How do you sell it?" Ye Ming squatted down, picked up his sword, and opened his mouth to ask.

The seller was a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing short-sleeved trousers, with a dark face and a dusty appearance. Hearing Ye Ming say this, she suddenly came to her senses, and hurriedly said, "A sword, fifty catties of rice." ”

"It's too expensive." Ye Ming stroked the blade of the sword and said: "The blade of the sword is blunt, there is no edge, and twenty catties of rice are not worth it." ”

Ye Ming didn't know what the price of the sword in the small market was, but he knew the truth of cutting the bid in half first, which was the buying and selling experience accumulated when the living expenses were tight after graduation.

"My sword is about to be cut, and it's not at this price." The little girl knocked on the hilt of the sword and said, "Look clearly, this is a high-end product made by a famous master, and there is no better weapon in the entire market." ”

Ye Ming took a closer look, and the hilt of the sword was engraved with the four words of Longxiao Sword, followed by three small characters of the collection, and finally with a seal, which seemed to be the name of the maker.

"It's a collector's item." Ye Ming pointed out unceremoniously.

"Xiaoyu, it turns out that you are selling these three broken swords here." A tall female voice suddenly sounded, "You are asking for such a high price, who will buy it?" Be obedient and come home with me. ”

The visitor was dressed in a white dress with lipstick on his lips, and he was dressed stylishly and sophisticatedly. Compared to others, she seems to be living in another peaceful world, with no zombies and no disasters.

"Get out!" When the little girl saw her coming, she didn't say a word, grabbed the stone on the ground and threw it at the woman!

The woman took two steps back, looking frightened.

"You kid, you're really uneducated!" The woman spat out, "You stole this sword from your house." Take out the stolen things and sell them, that's what your dad taught you? ”

Seeing that she couldn't be scared away, the little girl snorted and choked back: "This sword was left to me by my father, and I can deal with it as I want." I advise you to stay away from me, otherwise I will go crazy and anyone will dare to move! ”

She held the sword and deliberately frightened the woman. Before she could do anything, two men suddenly appeared behind her, and they couldn't help but say that they wanted to arrest her.

"Humph!" The woman sneered: "This sword was given to your father by my sister, your father is dead, I will take back things for my sister, and this sword is mine." If you steal something from my house and sell it, I will always ask for it. She waved her hand at the two men and said, "Take her away." ”

"Wait a minute." Seeing that they were leaving, Ye Ming hurriedly said, "Is this sword still for sale?" ”

"Not for sale!"

"I've got you."

Two voices rang out in unison.

Ye Ming had a little headache.

The little girl was stunned and shouted, "Xue Xiao! You dare to touch my dad's stuff! ”

"Not only do I have to use these three swords, but I also want to capture you back and discipline you well instead of your mother!" Xue Xiao said impatiently to the two men, "Cover her mouth." ”

One of them took out a handkerchief and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth, and left with her with Xue Xiao.

In the blink of an eye, there were three swords left on the stall, Ye Ming shook his head and went up to put the swords away.

"This woman is so arrogant!" Zhang Cheng looked at the backs of several people in a daze, and sighed to himself, it was the first time he had seen someone who was still so arrogant after the apocalypse.

"That's Xue Xiao! The wife of the high-level, can she not be arrogant? The person from the stall next to him came up and whispered: "When she brought people to arrest people just now, even the administrator didn't dare to come over." ”

When Xue Xiao was there, the administrator didn't dare to come forward, Xue Xiao left, but the administrator came quickly.

"What's there to see, it's all gone."

Ye Ming was not interested in gossip, and he didn't want to provoke right and wrong, so he silently wrapped three swords and stuffed them into his backpack, and walked out of the crowd with Zhang Cheng, who still wanted to listen to gossip.

He just wanted to collect enough food and water for the road and drive to Yunzhou City, and didn't bother with anything else. I saw that the three months were getting closer and closer. If it dragged on for too long, he was afraid that Mu Ran would be bad for his mother.

Even if the memory of his parents is already a little blurry, Ye Ming doesn't want his parents to have anything happen to him because of his involvement.
