Apocalypse World Reboot

Hearing the words, Xu Xian looked over, his eyes flashed, and he said calmly, "Is it the Jinghuai Group?"

The visitor nodded: "It's Dingcheng Jinghuai who started his career in the pharmaceutical industry. Brother Xu should know better."

Only Xu Xian knows of Xu Jin who can be called Brother Xu, and there is one of them that he hates the most.That's right, it was none other than Jing Wenyi who came.He appeared to be in good spirits, smiling and radiant, accompanied by several bodyguards.

Xu Xian impatiently played Tai Chi with him, "How can I meet you everywhere, what's the matter this time?"

Originally, I planned to go out for a change of mood, but I didn't expect to run into Jing Wenyi again.The latter didn't pay much attention to Xu Xian's completely unwelcome attitude, and started to get close to Xu Jin instead.

Xu Xian rolled his eyes towards the sky, and directly pulled Xu Jin away, leaving Xue Lei to deal with Jing Wenyi.

After walking a little further, Xu Xiancai changed his expression, greeted the people around him with a smile, and occasionally talked to Xu Jin: "Why is he looking for you again?"

Seeing that he looked like a cub protecting food, Xu Jin couldn't help smiling: "You dragged me away, how would I know what he was going to do?"

Xu Xian also thought about it: "Anyway, you stay away from him, there must be nothing good about this guy's attitude."

Xu Jin nodded obediently, he had no interest in Jing Wenyi's deliberate flattery, and he knew exactly what Jing Wenyi was trying to do.

Speaking of Jing Wenyi, Xu Xian would think of the losses he suffered under his subordinates when he first entered the society, although others did not dare to do anything to him for his brother's sake.But the innocuous little tricks in the dark are enough to make Xu Xian, a narrow-minded otaku, uncomfortable for a long time.Not to mention that he is still a miser, Jing Wenyi cheated him a lot of money at first.

Mentioning him made him angry, so Xu Xian turned to Wan Qian: "The people who come to this kind of occasion are basically family members. Why is Wan Qian here to join in the fun?"

To put it bluntly, her body is not as good as that of Sister Lin. If something goes wrong accidentally, I'm afraid that the Wan family will be implicated and blame others.

When Xu Xian was young, he attended banquets and met Wan Qian a few times. Not only did he hear about it, but he also witnessed how the Wan family relied on Wan Qian to embarrass others. It was a joke to others, so I simply took a step back and gave them some benefits. Wanjia tasted the sweetness and would use Wanqian even more.

It's just that Xu Xian has been busy preparing for the end of the world since his rebirth, and he is indifferent to these things in the upper class. Coupled with the fact that it has been a long time, he has no impression of this passerby.

Xu Jin patiently explained to him what he knew: "Wanjia has a lot of people in the research institute, and the research on meteorites has made a lot of progress these days. Coupled with the development and utilization of crystal nuclei as a new energy source, they have also taken the initiative. There will be rare crystal nuclei to be auctioned in a while, and she should be here for this."

Xu Xian watched Wan Qian wandering among the crowd like a butterfly wearing a flower from a distance, with a trace of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth: "Is there no one in the Wan family? Or do you think she is a woman and others will pity her?"

Xu Xian is not interested in the reception of the upper class. He can't show his cards, and he doesn't lack any important things, so he doesn't need to negotiate with others. He just sits on the sidelines and watches.

Although the food at the reception buffet table is not as rich as before the end of the world, the assortment of pastries and drinks still shows the richness of the organizer.Although anyone with a discerning eye knows that no matter how good these things are, they only have a shelf life of two or three years at most, so it's better to take them out at this time and use them wisely.

Xu Xian chose a piece of cherry blossom cake and ordered another glass of mulberry fruit wine.He doesn't drink very well, but he still prefers fruit wine. Just because he doesn't have to go out of the base these days, Xu Xian also plans to brew a batch of fruit wine by himself. The fruits in his space will pile up into mountains, so it will be completely harmless. It would be a pity if the fruit full of aura was left dry.

When the reception was more than halfway through, Xu Yan came late, but he was still warmly welcomed by everyone. After dealing with those people, Xu Yan turned his head and walked up to Xu Xian, and looked him up and down: "You boy, you are not courageous. Little. Why, I played wild outside the base and don’t want to come back?”

Xu Xian smiled apologetically: "Look at what you said, second brother, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just that the road is difficult and the delay is too long."

Xu Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "That's true? Then how do you explain the crystal nuclei you brought back?"

Although it is a good thing that my younger brother can send him crystal nuclei at this juncture, Xu Yan is really uneasy when he thinks that these crystal nuclei may be brought back by Xu Xian at the risk of his life.

Xu Xian quickly waved his hand: "A while ago, zombies were quite easy to fight. I had a gun in my hand, and Xu Jin was protecting me. What could happen? Besides, didn't I come back well?"

Xu Yan looked at Xu Jin after hearing the words: "Little Si is not deeply involved in the world, and I don't know that people outside are sinister. It stands to reason that I have nothing to worry about with you by his side. But there should be a degree in everything, even if it is Xiao Si. Order, but what insight does he have? You should think carefully about what you do in the future, don’t let him say what you say. You should also pay attention to some bad things, and don’t just indulge him.”

Xu Yan's words were sincere and sincere. Although Xu Xian knew that he was self-willed, he couldn't refute his second brother face to face. After all, he was doing it for his own good.

Xu Jin didn't change his face, and accepted Xu Yan's lesson humbly: "Second Young Master, don't worry, I will correct it. I will not let Fourth Young Master take risks in the future, please rest assured."

In view of Xu Jin's good attitude of admitting his mistakes, Xu Yan didn't continue to add any more, and went to socialize with other people instead.

Xu Xian asked about Jing Wenyi, but was interrupted by Xu Yan, Xu Xian understood that the second brother didn't want to know too much, so he didn't continue to ask.

More than an hour later, the reception ended, and everyone followed the service staff to go upstairs. There were many display cabinets on the second and third floors, displaying many precious and luxurious items, many of which were modern and fashionable luxury goods, and There are a lot of miscellaneous antique golds, which seem to be consigned by individuals here.

Although there are quite a few people selling valuables outside the base, the things in their hands have been passed through the base officials.Now the upper floors of the base will also accept this kind of things, but only for very precious and rare items. Some ordinary items are also allowed to circulate in the market, but no one buys them.

The things in the exhibition center are basically the best of the best. Many things that Xu Xian had never seen before are now displayed outside like roadside stalls. Even so, few people care about them.Antiques are prosperous and gold is in troubled times, but now is the end of the world, even gold has fallen miserably, let alone antiques.

Of course, if this is the case, some people will buy it. After all, they are not short of food and clothing, and they have most of the resources. These things are still affordable.

Bartering is allowed for these commodities, and most of them are food, such as compressed biscuits, which are the most popular. This kind of food takes up less space and can fill the stomach. Basically, as long as one or two bags can be exchanged for more than ten pieces Antique Jade.

Xu Xian exchanged twenty crystal nuclei for a box of colored gemstones, including diamonds, rubies, sapphires, emeralds, opals, tourmalines, purple teeth, crystals, epidote, etc.

It can be seen that this company should be in the jewelry business, but unfortunately gems are not worth much now, let alone these unprocessed rough stones, after all, no one has the energy to do these anymore.

The asking price for twenty crystal nuclei is not low. Many of the crystal nuclei in the base have been used for experiments. People who go out to hunt zombies will not choose this time to sell even if they have them, so even if Xu Xian returns a box of high-priced rough stones .While others were delighted that he was taking advantage, they also secretly laughed at Xu Xian for being too stupid, but in Xu Xian's view, he had a lot of crystal nuclei in his hand, and many of them were picked up by chance, so it would not be a disadvantage to exchange them for these rough stones.

For more than half a year, Xu Xian has not lived in the base. He did not know that the values ​​​​of people who have experienced the apocalypse for more than half a year have undergone earth-shaking changes.

What's more, there are many of them who are more generous than Xu Xian. There are many high-end tobacco, alcohol, guns and ammunition in the showcase, and it is stated that they can only exchange crystal core medicines and food.A few boys and girls who looked no more than teens exchanged the crystal cores in their hands for a few very cool-looking guns.In fact, Xu Xian only glanced at it and saw that the gun was returned by the army. Although it looked intact, it was actually a bit worse, at least not worth the price.

But at this time, Xu Xian would not go forward and point it out, after all, he couldn't afford to offend the people behind the convention center.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xian didn't say anything, and the young lady of the Wan family, who was still smiling like a flower just now, stepped forward to dissuade him. Before the seller said anything, one of the boys on the opposite side had a very bad face.

He is the youngest grandson of the direct line of the Liang family, named Liang Jinhang.Originally, he brought a few friends who usually had a good time here to open his eyes and please Bai Rui by the way, but he didn't expect to be pointed out by this troublesome aunt.

Liang Jinhang didn't care about Wan's status in the base, but he didn't give Wan Qian a good face when he came up, "Where did the eighth woman come from, talking nonsense in front of your young master, it's none of your business what I buy? There are so many nosy psychopaths!"

Liang Jinhang was young and spoke without thinking. His voice was so high that basically everyone in the hall could hear him.Wan Qian's face was also red and white, and she fainted directly under the gaze of everyone watching a show.

The assistant next to Wan Qian was obviously very familiar with her sudden situation, and immediately rushed to give first aid.Liang Jinhang was also shocked by this scene, but he was not afraid, but felt a little familiar.When the friends around him reminded him, Liang Jinhang realized that something was wrong and wanted to run away with oil on his feet.

He knew about Wan Qian. This woman, who looked like she was about to die short-lived, ran out all day to harm others. He didn't care. In the past, things happened as jokes. He never thought that this time it was his turn to step on her. The mines are on.

Liang Jinhang wanted to slip away but failed, and the bodyguards around Wan Qian were not vegetarians either.However, they obviously knew Liang Jinhang's identity, so they didn't hit hard, but restricted his freedom of movement.

Even so, Liang Jinhang blushed with anger, and kept scolding Wan Qian for being short-lived and harming others.

He didn't swear in the same way, and the people around him were speechless, not to mention Wan Qian, who was immediately relieved of his anger.The eyes looking at Liang Jinhang are no longer as soft and charming as before, but with a vicious look, like the rhythm of wanting to eat people.

Wan Qian knew that she was not in good health, but she believed that her life would never be shorter than others, but she couldn't help it. There were always people talking about her illness openly and secretly, and several marriages in the past were ruined because of this.

Liang Jinhang had stepped on Wan Qian's sore spot, how could she be magnanimous and easily let him go?

Not to mention the several times the Liang family fought with the Wan family after hearing the news, and many people around them also followed suit. In short, the whole reception became quite interesting.

Xu Xian also joined in the excitement for a while, and then walked around the second floor, and dragged Xu Jin directly to the third floor.

------

Not everyone likes to watch those farces, but relatively speaking, the number of people on the third floor is still relatively small.Xu Yan and his party have already entered the side hall on the third floor, where the auction will be held.

It was said to be an auction, but actually not many people participated in it, and not many qualified ones.Many of the items in the auction are related to crystal nuclei, and it is even said that there is an advanced crystal nucleus dug out from the body of a mutated animal.

There are not many crystal nuclei now, and the research on crystal nuclei is still in progress, and at most it can only be said to have preliminary results.But in fact, the crystal nucleus has been clearly divided internally. It is said that this crystal nucleus is likely to be a third-level crystal nucleus.

Xu Xian didn't know much about these things. After the apocalypse, animals basically disappeared without a trace, and those left behind were either dead or zombified, and even paid a lot of money to eliminate these zodiac animal bases .

And it's not just the Modu Base, similar situations have happened in other places. In the beginning, Xu Xian and others also encountered mutant cats and mutant snakes, but the probability of this is very low.The main reason is Xu Xian's strong mental power, he can warn in time to avoid encounters.Moreover, unlike zombies, mutated animals cannot be regarded as zombies. On the contrary, they are more like advanced animals with enlightened intelligence. Not only do they know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but they are even familiar with besieging and killing humans.

These mutated animals have largely threatened the safety of surviving humans. Like humans, the physiques of surviving mutated animals have also undergone tremendous changes and improvements.Although it has not yet reached the realm of being impenetrable by bullets, it is definitely a complete change compared to before.

Although human beings are also progressing, the evolution of human beings who rely too much on external objects and have poor physical fitness is not obvious.

The threat of the environment to human beings is becoming more and more serious. At this time, the breakthrough in the research of crystal nuclei finally brought hope to human beings.If the difficulties can be successfully overcome and the crystal nucleus is used as an alternative energy source, or even a tool to help humans evolve, then there is nothing terrible about zombies or mutant animals.

From this point of view, this crystal, which may be a third-level crystal nucleus, naturally became the object of everyone's pursuit and competition.In fact, Xu Xian still has a doubt, that is, it is not so easy for ordinary people to kill ordinary mutant animals, not to mention third-level mutant animals.If this third-level crystal nucleus is real, then this person is probably already very powerful.

Xu Xian sighed with emotion that there are people outside the sky, but Wan Qian on the other side had already forgotten about the third-level crystal nucleus and concentrated her firepower on Liang Jinhang. The two sides were in trouble.

But I have to say that Liang Jinhang did a small favor to everyone present except the Wan family by accident. It was not until the reception was over that Wan Qian suddenly remembered about the crystal nucleus, but it was a pity that the third-level crystal nucleus finally It was acquired by the Bai family at a high price.

Not only Wan Qian, but also Xu Yan made the trip in vain.Xu Yan didn't think it was a pity. Now the ordinary crystal nucleus is enough for research and use. It is obviously not advisable to exchange a high price for a high-level crystal nucleus before the research use of the crystal nucleus is fully determined, because it is not Everyone is as rich and powerful as the Bai family.

Xu Yan didn't stay any longer because he failed to take a picture of the crystal nucleus. He had one thing in mind, and after meeting Xu Xian, he explained a few words and planned to leave.

It was rare for Xu Xian to pull him to say a few more words: "Second brother, I think many people in the base are stockpiling crystal cores now, we should also get more, maybe it will come in handy in the future. I came back from the south , along the way, this zombie is getting harder and harder to fight."

He couldn't tell Xu Yan that he knew that the crystal nucleus would be worth a hundred times in the future, and the hoarded materials had a useful life after all.I'm afraid that after a while, winter will pass, and when the temperature rises, it will not be easy to store materials.

Xu Yan also nodded and agreed, he is an insider, knows more things, and understands what the situation will be in the future.But seeing that the boyish younger brother in the past actually worried about his affairs, Xu Yan was really relieved: "Don't worry, the second brother knows it well. But you, don't go out when you have nothing to do, just tell me what you need, just you as the second brother. Affordable."

Seeing Xu Yan turn around and leave, Xu Xian couldn't help but sigh in his heart. At the beginning, the eldest brother and the second brother were wholehearted to him, and even Xu Hao took care of him from time to time, but he never thought that it would become like that in the end...

Xu Xian didn't want to lose his relatives, and it was even more impossible for him to sit still and let the situation develop, so he had to do something.

Standing beside him, Xu Jin looked at the corner of the man's mouth with a smile, his eyes were as dark as night, and the moment they looked at each other was profound and addictive.
