Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

Half an hour before the extreme cold

Black Market Camp

The black market camp is fundamentally different from the Wanderer Base Camp, which can accommodate anyone and has clear levels of hierarchy, but it is also obviously different from the base that has always focused on infrastructure and technological development. If the Wanderer Base Camp is a feudal society with clear barriers, the Jiangcheng Base is a developing civilized society, and the black market is a fortress sandwiched between the two.

The total population of the black market camp is no more than 50,000 people, but very few people can easily enter the black market camp. It is said that the founder of the black market camp was the chief of a coastal defense force before the end of the world. After the end of the world, he led a group of soldiers to create such a camp. Those who can enter the black market camp and become its permanent residents must at least show their value, and the so-called personal value can be money, technology, or even beauty. As long as you are valuable, the black market will accept you unconditionally, but conversely, you also need to pay your price for entering the black market and be used by it.

Although the scale of the black market camp is not large, it is a self-contained area like the wanderer base camp. The entire size is similar to that of two university towns. There is also an independent army in it, and even superpower hunters who joined later. Although there are only 1.5 permanent military and civilians, the number of superpowers among them already accounts for % of the entire camp, which means that there are at least nearly superpowers. Compared with the Jiangcheng base with a population of more than but only % of superpowers, the black market camp has more advantages. However, because the managers of the black market camp are not very interested in expanding the camp, the scale of the black market camp has not changed much over the years.

Cheng Zhong is an ordinary small vendor in the black market camp. His family's shop mainly sells processed cooked food. Although it is a small business that does not make much money, it is enough to support his family.

Cheng Zhong's store is only seven or eight square meters. Every day, a pot of braised meat is cooked over charcoal outside. The mutant pork is marinated with star anise and a lot of spices to remove the fishy smell, so the braised meat does not have so much strange smell. When the black market opened in the past, he would sell the meat at night, but various natural disasters occurred one after another some time ago, resulting in the suspension of the black market. Cheng Zhong could only continue to guard his own small store honestly.

"The weather is getting colder and colder. It looks like there won't be much business later. You pack up and let's go home early." Cheng Zhong turned around and said to his son, who was in his twenties but looked almost exactly like him.

"Dad, why don't we wait a little longer? It's only noon now. People from the company next door might come down to buy food soon." Cheng Lei glanced at the door opposite where no one had come out, and shrank his neck because of the increasingly cold air.

"Who's here? Who would want to go out in such a cold day? Listen to me, pack up quickly, and let's go back early today." Cheng Zhong turned around and put out the charcoal fire in the stove outside.

Cheng Lei curled his lips unwillingly, but he had to listen to his father's words. He couldn't help but mutter, "If we don't do this good business, our family will soon be unable to make ends meet if we continue."

"Do you think I don't want to do business? Don't you see what the weather is like outside? Do you really think this business can continue? Do you want your life or money?" Cheng Zhong sighed heavily and then looked up at the sky. The dark hole appeared two hours ago. At first glance, it seemed to be a dark cloud, but if you look closely, you will find that it actually looks more like a strange black hole that has split open from the sky.
