Wilderness Age

The stall owner opened his mouth. The few handicrafts in front of him could not be exchanged for a few years of wages for ordinary people before the end of the world. You will know that few people are interested at all, and occasionally there are a few who really like it, and they will not be willing to exchange food, and even ridicule him for his whimsical ideas.

Gold, jewelry, antiques, artworks, these things can only show their value in peaceful times. In troubled times, food and clothing come first.If it weren't for the fact that there was no way out, the stall owner wouldn't have thought of taking these things out to try his luck. You must know that although these things can't be eaten or worn, they are all in his heart.

"Not enough?" Chu Xingzhou frowned.

"Uh...enough, enough."

The stall owner was also worried that he was asking for too much, and scared away the only customer for a few days, so he finally agreed.

The business was concluded, and the stall owner handed over a few items to Yu Ze and waited silently.

Yu Ze directly brought the other two into the space, and played with the wooden frame with other branches and magpies in his hand. The bird standing on the branch was only the size of a thumb, but the jade was warm and vivid, and it was a must. Many good works.

The stall owner saw that the things disappeared in Yu Ze's hands, his eyes flashed, only people with supernatural powers can still have a leisurely mood at such a time, so he added: "I have a lot of things in my house. , if you are interested, I can take you back to pick them."

Chu Xingzhou looked at Yu Ze.

Yu Ze retracted Biezhi Jingque into the space, and looked at the three reminders that popped up one after another on the system's light screen.

The materials collected are Wood Carving Ganoderma Lucidum Ruyi.

The collected materials are hollowed out nested jade balls.

The collected materials are the wooden frame of Biezhi startled magpie.

He paused and said, "Okay."

The stall owner's surname was Zuo. After arriving at Zuo's house, they understood why Mr. Zuo dared to bring two strange supernatural beings into his home.

This is a high-end villa area in Yinan, with low housing density and beautiful landscaping in the community. After the end of the world, this place was once invaded by wild and wild magical plants. After the military cleaned up the area, the house It was returned to the original homeowners on the condition that each of them open at least half of the space to accommodate those homeless.

So Mr. Zuo's home is a semi-public area.This villa has four floors above ground and one basement. Mr. Zuo's family lived on the top two floors, and gave up the two floors below and the basement.

Mr. Zuo led them upstairs. His collection room was on the top floor. When he passed the third floor, he met a young man holding a tray with a bowl of thin porridge on it.

Mr. Zuo greeted naturally: "Jun Hao, are you back?"

"Hmm." The young man responded, raised his eyes and swept back, and asked, "What do they do?"

Mr. Zuo introduced to Yu Ze and Chu Xingzhou: "This is a dog." Then he explained to the young man: "It's a guest who came to pick out the collection. I sold those things and exchanged them for something to eat. What do you have today?" Harvest?"

The young man paused and said, "No."

Mr. Zuo comforted: "It's okay, the most important thing is to come back safely."

The young man nodded and said, "Well, I'm going to accompany my mother."

"Okay, let's go."

Mr. Zuo led them to continue upstairs, Yu Ze glanced back, the young man had disappeared behind the door.He knew this person, Zuo Junhao, a fire-type supernatural being, one of the top experts in China.It turned out that he came from Ningcheng, so why did he leave Ningcheng later?

This question remained in Yu Ze's mind until he left Zuo's house.

The next day Chu Xingzhou went to work for the Ningcheng reconstruction team in order to obtain plant seeds, while Yu Ze stayed at home and sorted out all the items he had recently obtained in the space.

So far, his space has not established an assembly line that can be mass-produced for a long time, which makes Yu Ze a little impatient.Especially now that it's October and winter is coming soon, it's going to be even sadder.

So Yu Ze decided to go to the adventurer recruitment center, which is also the mission center of the base, to find out how the materials brought back by Ningcheng supernatural beings are handled, and if possible, buy a batch of basic materials.

As soon as I entered the mission center, I found that it was noisy inside.Yu Ze took a closer look, and suddenly found Zuo Junhao among the two parties in the dispute. After listening carefully, it turned out that they were arguing about the ownership of a certain mutant animal.

The cause of the incident was that a woman brought a mutant hare to the mission center to exchange for contribution points. Zuo Junhao saw it and said that the hare was stolen after he killed it, and the two sides argued with each other No more.

The woman on the opposite side, Yu Ze, looked a little familiar, until the other man with the scar and the man with the yellow hair also came over and stood beside the woman, Yu Ze realized that this was the team they met in the security camp the night before they entered the city.

Amidst the noise of the crowd, the man with the scar stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "You said you killed the hare?"

Zuo Junhao: "Yes."

The man with the scar: "Are you a supernatural being?"

Zuo Junhao: "No."

The man with the scar asked again: "Is there anyone to help you?"

Zuo Junhao shook his head: "No."

Scar Man: "Then how did you kill it?"

Zuo Junhao: "...Killed with fists. I have learned fighting since I was a child, and I have practiced in various genres."

The man with the scar shook his head: "We have encountered such a mutant hare before. It is nearly two meters long, its hind legs are very powerful, and its movements are agile and nimble. If it is kicked by it, it may cause serious fractures and serious injuries. It is not something ordinary people can deal with."

After the end of the world, mutated animals and plants grew wildly, and the number of ordinary beasts also increased. Ordinary people go out, not to mention fighting monsters and plants. It is difficult to deal with wild boars and wild dogs. Once injured, they may be attracted by the smell of blood. The wild beasts came and attacked them in groups. Even if they escaped by chance, they may suffer from reduced combat effectiveness, wound inflammation, high fever, coma, and even death. In the last days of drug shortage, it is not uncommon to die from small wound inflammation.

Therefore, when non-supernatural beings go out to do missions, they often have to form a group to help each other. Zuo Junhao said that he went out alone to kill a mutant animal and came back with no obvious wounds on his body, which is indeed suspicious.

Some people who knew about Zuo Junhao's background began to ridicule him.

"Zuo Junhao, even if your mother is in poor health and can't bear it anymore, you can't steal other people's contribution points, it's too wicked."

"Wake up, it's the end of the world, and you think you are the Fourth Young Master of Ningcheng, and others will support you?"

"Young Master Zuo, I'm afraid he has never been wronged like this since he was a child. Does it feel good to be slapped in the face? Hahaha!"

Hearing these gossip, Zuo Junhao clenched his teeth: "Don't tell me you want to say that you hunted the hare? Even if you are a supernatural being, you can't just say anything."

The scarred man's expression remained unchanged: "It is true that we did not kill this hare, but when we found its body, there was no one around, so we brought it back. If you can prove that the hare was indeed made by you If you hunted it down, I can decide to ask my team members to return it to you, but if you can’t prove it, if the hare is picked up by us and brought back by us, it will be ours.”

Zuo Junhao had nothing to say, turned around and left the mission center under the ridicule of everyone.

Yu Ze watched the whole process, and his intuition told him that the mutant hare was killed by Zuo Junhao.

Then he said that he is a person with supernatural powers, is it because he has not yet awakened his supernatural powers, or is he deliberately hiding something else?

But in the final analysis, these have nothing to do with Yu Ze.

Some people are discussing Zuo Junhao.

"What mission did he take?"

"It seems to be a support mission in the west of the city."

"He dares to go there as an ordinary person? The casualty rate in the western part of the city is very high in the past two days. I heard that there are powerful monsters."

"Who knows what he thinks, maybe he wants to prove that he is awesome? Haha, don't come back crying and make people laugh out loud."

Scar Man asked his team members to hand in the mutant hare and exchange it for contribution points.After the woman finished, she hugged the yellow-haired man's arm intimately, smiled sweetly and said to the scarred man, "Thank you, Brother Suo!"

The man with the scar nodded lightly, turned sideways to meet Yu Ze's gaze, and narrowed his eyes.The man with the scar had a good memory. For example, he remembered that this handsome man, who looked like a harmless college student, secretly paid attention to him behind his back when he was outside the city a few days ago.However, as soon as the peeking sight was caught, he slipped away as if nothing had happened last time.

Yu Ze asked around the staff, and learned that most of the items handed in were for the research department for anatomical analysis, and very few were circulated outside, and they did not sell them.In his previous life, Yu Ze had seen many bases doing the same work, but until he was reborn, the secrets of the apocalypse and why the supernatural ability happened had not been understood.

After confirming that there was no play, he didn't stay any longer, turned around and left.At the door of the mission center, he was stopped by someone.

The man with the scar: "Get to know me, my name is Suo Tianyou."

Yu Ze is 1.8 meters tall, and standing in front of Yu Ze is a head taller. His skin is bronze, and he looks resolute. The scar on his face adds a bit of viciousness to him.

Yu Ze took a step back cautiously: "Hello."

Suo Tianyou smiled: "Don't be so nervous, act like a frightened little white rabbit, I'm not a bad person."

Yu Ze looked back speechlessly, not wanting to argue with him about whether he was a bad guy or not—too childish.

He asked directly, "Is there something wrong?"

Suo Tianyou said: "Oh, this is what I want to ask, why do you peek at me several times?"

Of course Yu Ze would not admit that he had ulterior motives, he said: "If my spectators have caused you trouble, I apologize to you, but it was unintentional, just like all ordinary passers-by watching the excitement."

Suo Tianyou didn't believe it: "No, your eyes are different, there are stories in your eyes."

Yu Ze narrowed his eyes.

Suo Tianyou: "You were like a frightened little rabbit just now, but now you are like a sensitive little hedgehog. You are so funny!"

Yu Ze felt that he seemed to be being teased.

"Say it straight, your purpose."

Suo Tianyou suddenly turned serious: "I invite you to join my team, do you want to?"

"I reject."

"Think about it, I've been good to my players, you won't regret it."

"Don't think about it, thank you. If there is nothing else, I'm leaving."

As soon as Yu Ze took a step, Suo Tianyou also took a step to stop him.

Yu Ze raised his hand between him and Suo Tianyou, with three flying needles shining silver between his fingers.Appropriately revealing one's ability is also a way to protect oneself. The purpose is to tell others that I am not easy to mess with, and don't make bad ideas easily.

Suo Tianyou raised his hands in a gesture of surrender: "Hiss, what is this? It hurts just looking at it, it doesn't look like a toy."

Yu Ze: "I have neither malice nor curiosity towards you, I hope you will stop pestering me."

Suo Tianyou took a step back and spread his hands.

Yu Ze put away the flying needle and left without looking back.At least for now, he has no intention of seeking revenge on the yellow-haired man, so he has no reason to confront Suo Tianyou, and their entanglement with Zuo Junhao has nothing to do with him.So everyone went their own way, and no one wanted to trouble anyone. When the time came, let them leave Ningcheng in peace while the strong wind from the south left Ningcheng.

But Yu Ze's hope was about to come to nothing, because the next morning, the Ningcheng base sounded the alarm.

The swarm is coming.
