After hearing the woman's words, Jiang Nian and Li Sheng thought of Xia Weiwei at the same time. Others didn't know, but she was the only one in the South City base who claimed to be Jiang Wenwen's sister.

The smell of smoke mixed with perfume wafted in, and Jiang Nian was a little surprised when he smelled it: it was actually agarwood and white musk.

The taste of the two mixed together was surprisingly harmonious, with a vague sense of desire, but it just didn't fit in with the surrounding environment.

Influenced by the awakening of his supernatural powers, in addition to being sensitive to energy auras, his ability to distinguish smells has also increased, and he can identify them as long as he has come into contact with them.

"..."

After observing the woman at the door for a while without making any expression, Jiang Nian asked:

"Apart from her sister, do you have any special impression of the other people who came to see her? How many people were there? Were they in the same group?"

"call……"

After blowing out a beautiful smoke ring from her red lips, the woman shrugged:

"Besides her sister, there were about four or five others, all wearing hats and sunglasses or masks. They were not in the same group, but they were secretive and didn't look like good people. When they knocked on the door and asked questions, I just answered them and didn't dare to ask more questions."

Jiang Nian looked at her suspiciously:

"You just open the door when a stranger knocks?"

A small hole is dug at the door of the board house to serve as a simple peephole to see outside. A normal person would not open the door if he saw a stranger.

The woman snorted:

"Please, young master, they are giving points. Why don't you open it for a few questions and hundreds of points? Besides, life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God, and it is inevitable to live in a place like this. It is not easy for us to live like this, compared to you driving a Hummer and living in the central area."

How can a pretty boy who is kept by someone understand the sufferings of the lower class in the outer districts?

"..."

Jiang Nian couldn't argue with her, and he didn't want a grown man to argue with a woman, so he simply stopped talking and thought to himself:

Jiang Wenwen herself said before that after the end of the world, she basically acted alone, and apart from him, she had not made any suitable friends in the South City base.

Moreover, Jiang Wenwen has always wanted to join their team, and is not close to other groups of superpowers... She is the type who prefers to play it safe and not get into trouble.

But now that he's missing, so many people are looking for him. No matter how you look at it, it's not normal.

"..."

Referring to the woman's words, Li Sheng checked the room and found nothing suspicious. Then he said:

"It seems that she left on her own to avoid Xia Weiwei or others, or there may be some other reasons we don't know."

"..."

Jiang Niansong looked at the woman who had finished her words but did not go back, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"Well, I was overthinking it. She suddenly lost contact and I thought she was kidnapped by bad guys."

"The rules of the base are strict. It's not that easy for her to be kidnapped. Besides, she's a mutant."

The woman sneered at Jiang Nian's words, then she lifted her hair with her hand and turned her waist back.

"In that case, I'll go ask Xia Weiwei later."

After Li Sheng finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Nian, and they both quickly left 1120.

Speaking of superpowers, Jiang Nian only sensed one kind of superpower aura in Jiang Wenwen's dormitory, which belonged to her.

They walked out of the alley while talking, and halfway through they passed a tall, thin man wearing a camouflage short-sleeved shirt.

Jiang Nian turned around subconsciously and just saw the other party knocking on the door of room 1121.

The woman who had just opened the door and came out, talking on the phone in one hand, and pulled the man in with the other hand. She even glanced in their direction before closing the door.

Jiang Nian: “…”

I guessed it, but...

Li Sheng's reaction was very calm, as if he knew the situation but turned a blind eye.

Come to think of it, let alone the end of the world where order collapses, even in prosperous times, it happens. People are in danger of losing their lives at any moment, so there is no need and no one is willing to care.

Li Sheng glanced back slightly, said nothing, and asked:

"Jiang Nian, you don't believe what that woman said?"

He rarely dealt with such matters personally, and from his point of view, what the woman said was quite normal.

"Ah."

Jiang Nian did not deny it. He looked back ahead and lowered his voice slightly and said to him:

"What she said sounded reasonable, but sometimes being reasonable is not normal... She was too friendly and positive. I knew her before I arrived at the base. I ran into her when I sent Jiang Wenwen back. She didn't like us..."

After that, he told Li Sheng some of the causes and consequences.

Even a warm-hearted stranger, or someone with whom he has had some interactions but with whom he has a mediocre relationship, will be more trustworthy to him.

But that woman's ungrateful nature had already been exposed after her attempt to morally blackmail him failed. She was definitely not that kind.

Li Sheng understood after hearing this: "So that's how it is..."

"..."

Jiang Nian thought for a moment and continued:

"Also, the cigarettes she smoked and the perfume she used were also very inappropriate..."

"..."

Li Sheng hesitated for a moment:

"I don't know much about perfume, but I know tobacco is not cheap in the South City base... But it is not ruled out that someone gave it to her. You saw her coughing like that."

Jiang Nian explained to him seriously:

"She smokes agarwood and uses white musk as perfume. As far as I know, a 30ml bottle of white musk and a pack of agarwood ladies' cigarettes cost about points at the base, which is much more expensive than before the end of the world."

"Huh? This... is so expensive!"

Li Sheng's voice rose in surprise. This amount was almost as much as a month's salary for the rescue workers on the front line.

Jiang Nian smiled:

"Well, you're in the office and central area most of the time, so it's normal that you don't know about this kind of thing. I happen to have it, and I exchanged it a while ago, so I know."

The perfume was not something they had prepared in advance. Instead, it was something that Brother Jing brought back from a perfume shop in Qingyun City when he was on a mission after the end of the world. There were quite a lot of them, and they were all relatively expensive brands.

They rarely use it on a daily basis, and only occasionally use it to add interest to the atmosphere.

The whole world stinks, but their room must smell good, that’s what the stuffy boyfriend said.

"Indeed, as the number of people in the base increases, we have enough to do in the central area..."

Li Sheng sighed and smiled, then said:

“I don’t know why consumables that can’t solve livelihood problems are still so expensive, but since there is a market and a price, that is market demand, and the market can’t be wrong.”

Some people are unable to feed themselves, while others are still squandering money; some are struggling to survive, while others are thriving and making a fortune in troubled times.

All beings are different regardless of time.

In this way, he also understood Jiang Nian's suspicious attitude towards women:

Three thousand points may not be a lot for wealthy people, but it is not affordable for people living in other areas.

To put it another way, people who can afford to consume such items would normally not live in board houses in the outer districts.

It has nothing to do with low-key hobbies or anything like that. Safety is the biggest issue and trouble often comes with a smell.
