I really want to die

The next day, Su Chen and the others arrived at a base, which was a small base with a population of only a few hundred, and it had only been established for about a year.

The base was transformed from a small town, with high walls built around it, and deep and wide trenches dug under the walls. As long as there are no large waves of zombies or mutated herds, the base is still very safe. guaranteed.

Su Chen separated from the others as soon as they entered the base. The people on the bus were originally traveling together halfway, and it was natural to separate when they reached their destination. As for Jin Huan, Su Chen decided that it would be better to keep a distance from him until he appeared. Just show up again.What's more, he chose to come to this base for some other purposes.

Su Chen walked alone in the base, towards the trading market.Although it is a trading market, but a simple shed was built, and a row of long platforms were built with soil on both sides. The soil was compacted, so even if some heavy items were placed on it, it would be no problem at all.

The items placed on the trading table are very miscellaneous, including dried meat of unknown animals or mutant animals, weapons made of various materials, pottery living utensils, etc., as well as some plant fruits and medicinal materials, etc. The latter is exactly the purpose of Su Chen's trip.

Jin Huan may enter the mutant forest again soon, and Su Chen needs to make some preparations.Su Chen, who has experienced it twice, already knows quite a lot about the mutant forest, so he also knows what to prepare.

Although this base is small, the mutated plants traded here are very famous. Some common or uncommon mutated plants can be found here, so Su Chen appeared on that bus. It was an accident to meet Jin Huan in advance.

Su Chen looked all the way over and found a kind of black textured bark. A look of joy flashed in his eyes. This was one of the things he was looking for.

The psychedelic tree, a luminous tree, wearing its bark on the body can resist most of the hallucinogenic gases, and these hallucinogenic gases are the most difficult to guard against in the mutant forest.But the bark of the bark is very hard, and it is difficult to cut off a small piece. Su Chen saw that there were many items in front of the stall owner, but there were only three small pieces of the bark of the bark.

Su Chen picked up the three pieces of mistletoe, looked at the stall owner and said indifferently: "I want them all."

The stall owner raised his eyelids, stretched out three stubby fingers, and said sluggishly: "If you have cigarettes, three packs, these three pieces of bark are yours, or a bottle of wine is also fine. "

Su Chen looked at him expressionlessly, and said coldly: "Half a pack of cigarettes is enough to exchange all the things you put on the stall. It seems that the boss doesn't intend to do my business."

The stall owner's eyes "swipe" opened, and his expression changed immediately, "Where is it? It's my luck that the little brother sees the things on my stall, but I don't know what the little brother will give in exchange?"

Looking at this kid in vain and tenderness, he thought he was a pet raised by some boss, didn't he just happen to be a fat sheep sent to his door?Unexpectedly, when he opened his mouth, he was a veteran who knew the market.What is most precious in the last days is neither food nor weapons, but cigarettes and alcohol produced before the last days.

Food and weapons can continue to be produced in the last days, but tobacco and alcohol, one is the lack of raw materials, and the other is that the current technology is difficult to achieve, so it becomes more and more scarce, and finally becomes the hard currency of each base, even if there is only one cigarette Can be exchanged for many things.

Su Chen didn't speak, and took out a blue fruit from his backpack and handed it over. The stall owner's eyes lit up when he saw the fruit, and he couldn't look away.

"This is jujube stem. I think you don't need me to tell you about its function."

"I know." The stall owner nodded repeatedly, and stretched out his hands to take the green fruit, but Su Chen didn't give it to him, and stretched out his hand back.

"One jujube stalk is exchanged for three mini-grain skins, do you think I'm that stupid?"

The stall owner stretched out his hand and looked at Su Chen with a "hehe" smile, "Little brother, what else do you like at this stall, just take it."

"I need thorn vine juice and Zhuyu grass. If you can have these two things, I will exchange them with you." After a pause, Su Chen looked into the eyes of the stall owner and added, "How much, I and How much do you change?"

The stall owner's eyes suddenly became brighter. He stood up with a "swipe", rubbed his hands and said to Su Chen: "Little brother, wait, I will help you get these two things." After finishing speaking, he quickly He ran away without even caring about his own stall.

But Su Chen knows that the people who set up stalls here generally have a certain status in the base, or are relatives of some people in power. Even if the stall is empty, no one will secretly take things. Someone is waiting to catch such a small advantage.

The two things that Su Chen asked for later can be mixed with another material to make a special potion, which can temporarily put many mutant plants to sleep.

As for jujube stems, by mixing its juice with a certain proportion of water, a special drink can be made, which will plunge the drinker into a kind of extreme joy.In other words, this is equivalent to the opium poppy before the end of the world, with stronger efficacy and no side effects.In the absence of tobacco and alcohol, this is the best substitute for the mixture of tobacco and alcohol.

While Su Chen was waiting, he didn't look for other stalls.

The stall owner came back soon, and the things in his hand were wrapped in animal skins. Su Chen opened it and checked it, and found that there was nothing wrong, so he paid him three stem dates.

"Brother, go slowly, come back if you need anything in the future." The stall owner held three jujubes and waved his hands to watch Su Chen go away with a smile. He could earn at least one jujube for the goods that changed hands this time. Oh, it's been a long time I didn't experience the feeling of wanting to die.

Not long after Su Chen left the trading market, he found himself being followed.

That's right, it's impossible for him to take out three stem dates in the trading market without attracting people's attention.Su Chen pretended not to notice, and continued to walk forward, even getting more and more desolate.

When there were no other people around, Su Chen stopped and turned around slowly. Three people with sharp mouths and monkey cheeks appeared from behind the building, looking at Su Chen as if they were looking at a fat sheep being slaughtered .

"Hey, boy, hand over your backpack wisely. If I am happy today, I will let you go."

Su Chen stood quietly, watching them without speaking.

Among the three, a tall and thin man kept staring at Su Chen's face, his eyes gradually revealing a lewd light.

"This little beauty has thin skin and tender flesh. Brother, it's not as good as us..." The tall and thin man looked at the other two with a tacit expression on his face. The other two were all focused on Su Chen's bag. Now, after being reminded, he looked at Su Chen's face carefully, and immediately salivated.

Su Chen looked at the eyes of these three people, frowned slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

The three of them approached Su Chen slowly while holding their fists. Seeing him standing in place and not moving, they thought he was frightened and stupid, and they became more courageous and laughed more wantonly.

Su Chen lowered his eyes, moved his fingers, and a grass-green pill rolled into his palm.

"Oh, such a beauty has made us brothers cheaper today, it must be the reward for us doing too many good deeds."

"Yes, my brother is absolutely right."

Seeing that one of them stretched out his hand and was about to touch Su Chen's face, Su Chen clenched his fingers tightly, trying to squeeze the pill in his palm.Unexpectedly, a strong force came from his waist and pulled him back, bumping into a hard wall of flesh, just touching his nose, and Su Chen, who was sore and stimulated, was instantly dazzled.

At the same time, there were three muffled sounds of "Peng", "Peng" and "Peng", and the three miserable howls were superimposed to create an earth-shattering effect.

"How is it? Are you okay?" An urgent voice came from above his head, Su Chen moved his head away from his chest, touched his nose and looked up tearfully.

Sure enough, seeing Jin Huan with an anxious face, Su Chen frowned, no matter where he went, he would meet this person.

As for Jin Huan, his face was full of worry, when he saw Su Chen who was crying, he was stunned.

There were bursts of pain in his chest. He reached out to touch Su Chen's face, wiped away the tears, and said softly with guilt, "I'm sorry, I'm late, don't be afraid, it's okay." Su Chen hugged her tightly.Su Chen, who had just recovered a bit, had his nose touched again, and the tears that were about to stop flowed even more.

Su Chen: "..."

Seeing his tears, Jin Huan felt more pain in his heart. While patting his back lightly, he comforted him softly: "Don't cry, it's all right now, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have let you come out alone." Why, seeing Su Chen's tears, Jin Huan felt like his heart was about to break. He was willing to do everything just to stop crying for this person in his arms.

So when he looked at the three people who fell to the ground again, the coldness in his eyes was even stronger, and even a bit of murderous intent was faintly revealed.When he saw the boy surrounded by three people from a distance, his heart skipped a beat, and he rushed over to protect the boy in his arms at the fastest speed in his life.

Jin Huan didn't dare to think, if he didn't happen to pass by here today and didn't see this scene, then Su Chen—

The arms around his waist tightened even more.

Su Chen was silent for a while, stretched out his hand and pushed, and remained motionless.

He paused, then pushed harder.

Jin Huan held his hand, loosened it a little, and looked into his eyes with a slightly puzzled tone and asked, "What's wrong?"

Su Chen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then said two words in a calm voice, "Let go."

Jin Huan paused for a moment, staring at Su Chen's face, no matter how dull he was, he could still feel that Su Chen seemed to be angry.Thinking of the culprit who made Su Chen unhappy and even cry, Jin Huan glanced at the three people who were lying on the ground "Aiyo" and called out how many bones were broken. Seriously, it would be better if they didn't make a sound at this time.

He let go of the young man, seeing the man whose nose was red from crying but still maintained a cold expression on his face, besides the heartache, there was also a tenderness wrapping around him, he felt like his heart was soaked in a seasoning saucer Li, sour, spicy, bitter, sweet, everything is there.

Jin Huan stretched out his hand to caress the corners of the young man's eyes, and comforted him softly, "Okay, don't cry, I have already taught you a lesson for these three people, if you still feel puzzled, how about I beat them up for you? "

I'd be happier if you beat yourself up.

Su Chen looked at him silently, without expression or speaking, and moved his fingers slightly.Thinking about whether to use this thing on the man in front of him, anyway, it's just pain and itching, and it will be fine after three days and three nights.

Jin Huan was a little baffled by him, blinked twice, and just about to ask, Su Chen had already looked away, turned around and walked forward.

Forget it, I was kind enough to save myself.

Seeing Su Chen go, Jin Huan paused, followed silently, but he just followed behind Su Chen, staring at the back in front of him, and walked forward slowly stepping on the boy's footsteps.

The two of them, one in front of the other, seem to be pulled by an invisible thread, neither far away nor close, but as long as Su Chen turns his head, he can always see that person is there, three feet behind him. outside.
