It was only after the inexplicable emotion passed that Ling Jiaze realized that not only was he crying, but he was crying in Ye Xuan's arms. He quickly backed away, looked at the obvious water mark on Ye Xuan's shoulder, sniffed, blushed and said embarrassedly: "It's been a long time ago, I don't know why I remembered it today... "I still held you and cried for a while.
Ye Xuan let go of Ling Jiaze and poured him a cup of hot water, "It's okay, when everyone gets emotional, are you feeling better now?"
"I'm fine." Ling Jiaze continued to tell the rest of the story, "I turned against them after I found out about that incident. First, he was afraid that my grandfather would deal with him. Second, he was at the critical moment of his promotion. Fearing that I would ruin his reputation by spreading this matter, I took the opportunity to make a deal with him, signed an agreement to sever ties with him, and came to City C alone."
Ye Xuan figured it out after thinking about it. Ling Jiaze was still young at the time, no matter whether he saw his father's group of people upset or wanted to avoid them, he would not stay in City B. Although there was someone who could take care of him in the northwest, Grandpa He and his uncle both have their own families, and he doesn't seem like he would bother others, so he may not go there, "Why did you think of coming here?"
"My grandfather stayed here for many years before going to Northwest China. My mother was born and raised here. I was born in City B, and I never had a chance to come and have a look. When I wanted to leave, my first reaction was to come here."
"No wonder you came all this way from the north by yourself."
City C is located in the south, and its climate and eating habits are different from those in the north. But maybe because Ling Jiaze's mother grew up here, his eating preference is similar to that of Ye Xuan, who grew up in City C, only some small habits are slightly different, so he has never realized that this person is not born and bred in C city people.
"C city is pretty good, the environment is good and the climate is good, and there are some top c universities in the country for school, and..." Ling Jiaze paused uncomfortably, and changed his words: "Now I have put aside the previous things, today is the I was a little annoyed by their quarrel, and it was only when I got emotional."
Ye Xuan intuitively felt that Ling Jiaze's pause had something to do with him, but he still insisted on the principle that Ling Jiaze would pretend to be stupid if he didn't take the initiative to tell him, and didn't continue to ask.
"People outside..." There were so many people at the door just now, Ye Xuan didn't look carefully at the big family, and he didn't hear Ma Sen's self-introduction. Now that Ling Jiaze said about himself, think back to the group just now A combination of people, guessed: "The one leading the child is Xiao San?"
"Well, he mentioned something when he introduced himself." Thinking of what Ma Sen was proud of, Ling Jiaze sneered, "One is his wife, and the other is his lover."
Ye Xuan: After the apocalypse comes, there will be some strong people hugging left and right. Because of the chaos, no one will say much, but people before the apocalypse with a strong sense of morality can take it for granted that raising a mistress Also really capable.
"The little girl with the ability is the child of the original partner?" Among the group of people, big and small, Ye Xuan remembered this silent ability user except for the talkative Ma Sen and the young woman who showed off her charm. . There is no way, when the weather is cold, the supernatural beings are too conspicuous among the ordinary people who are wrapped like a ball and feel cold. The little girl is so thin that Ye Xuan can't remember it.
Ling Jiaze nodded, "Ma Sen wants her to go out and kill zombies, so that she can get the crystal core in exchange for her half-brother who raised her for food."
Ye Xuan: ... This is really a miracle!
Ye Xuan didn't know how to evaluate the Ma family's brain circuit anymore. How did they manage to be unreasonable and strong
"Forget it, let's not talk about their affairs." Ling Jiaze rubbed the center of his brows, and said irritably: "That little girl knew that the life before the end of the world was not very good, and now the Ma family can live here and lead the base It's all because there is such a supernatural person in his family, if she doesn't stand up when she has the upper hand and let the group of people continue to dominate, no one can help her."
He meant to be a little hurt by the scene, but to put it in another way, Ling Jiaze had already broken up with that family when he was capable, so why would he look at their faces and listen to their eccentric singing.
Ye Xuan nodded approvingly, he still prefers Ling Jiaze's forceful solution to the little girl's forbearance. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, since she has gained the upper hand in the big reshuffle in the last days, even if she has help, if it can't solve the family's affairs, they can't do anything.

After a noon of fermentation, many people in the base already knew that someone in the trading area had collected crystal cores to sell instant noodles and compressed biscuits. When Ye Xuan and Ling Jiaze passed by with a large bag, there was already a queue in front of their morning stalls. There was a long queue, and it was quite a bit pre-apocalyptic to snap up the limited edition shelves.
Of course, if you really want to say it, the food in the base is cherished as much as some limited edition sneakers and sweaters before the end of the world.
Because Ling Jiaze didn't leave the door until his eyes were swollen, it was already past two o'clock when the two of them arrived at the trading area, and someone among the impatient crowd saw Ye Xuan coming over, and greeted them: "Brother Brother, you are here, we have been waiting for you for a long time!"
"There was a delay at noon." Ye Xuan replied to them, put the bag away, and said, "A pack of compressed biscuits has twenty crystal cores, and a catty of rice has twenty crystal cores."
A catty of rice and a pack of compressed biscuits are enough for one person to eat five meals. Among them, compressed biscuits are more convenient to eat, and rice tastes better. How to choose depends on these people.
Because there is no restriction on the taste of instant noodles, Ye Xuan didn't bother to set up a stall, so he just opened the two bags, put an electronic scale on the table, and the preparatory work was done.
The middle-aged man at the front struggled for a few seconds and asked in embarrassment: "Little brother, can I have a look at your name?"
"Yes", it is necessary to be defensive. When doing business in the post-apocalyptic world, there are many people stealing and cheating. Ye Xuan didn't care about this person's precautions. He took out two compressed biscuits with clearly marked weights from his bag and put them in No more, no less, the same as the weight marked on the packaging bag.
"I want two catties of rice." The middle-aged man rubbed his nose in embarrassment, handed the crystal nucleus to Ling Jiaze next to him, and explained, "When I was shopping before, I met someone who was short of catty and two, and was tricked by someone. I’m afraid, I’m sorry, little brother.”
"It's okay." Ye Xuan swiftly packed two catties of rice and handed it to the man, "Two catties of rice, next."
"Five catties of rice, one hundred crystal nuclei."
"Two catties of rice, a pack of compressed biscuits, and sixty crystal nuclei."
…
Before the end of the world, few people were used to eating compressed biscuits. At the same price, the bag of rice that Ye Xuan brought sold out quickly, and there were still a lot of compressed biscuits left.
At this time, his speed of selling things has dropped a lot. After all, he only accepts crystal cores, which means that if he wants to do business with him, he must have killed zombies by himself or someone in the same industry, and he has to find the crystal cores from the zombies' brains himself. nuclear. Most of these people have already mustered up the courage to go out to the base to do missions to support themselves, and they may not choose to exchange the crystal cores that they may need in the future for the food they are not in short supply, let alone the compressed biscuits that are not very delicious up.
There were a lot of people around the stall, and many of them couldn't get the crystal nucleus and wanted to exchange it with other things.
After realizing this situation, Ye Xuan was not in a hurry. He took out a few packs of compressed biscuits and dozens of crystal nuclei from his bag and gave them to Ling Jiaze, saying, "I'll just watch here alone. Do you want to go shopping?" Go shopping and see if there is anything you want to buy? We will meet at home in a while."
There are a lot of things in his space, and he doesn't know what he has put in because he is so fragmented. It is easy to forget to take it out because he can't remember it. Since he has no way to let Ling Jiaze know what is in his space, he can only use this method to let him browse to see if there is anything he needs, so he can recall whether he has collected the same, or You can also collect some later.
It is true that Ling Jiaze has not visited the trading area since he came to the base. There are not many people who come to make exchanges at this moment, so he does not need two people to guard him. I don't know it's time to enter a large-scale survivor base again.

When the sun was setting, Ye Xuan's compressed biscuits were almost sold out. Just as he was about to close the stall, he saw a travel-stained man with the smell of blood and a faint smell of zombies squeezed in from the crowd. , "Little brother, I heard that you can exchange crystal nuclei for food here?"
"Twenty crystal nuclei and a pack of compressed biscuits, one pack is enough for one person to eat five meals."
"Ah?" He said a little disappointed: "I heard that you have instant noodles from outside the city at noon, and now there are only compressed biscuits left?"
As soon as he got close to Ye Xuan, he knew that she was a supernatural person, and she was also a supernatural person who had a lot of contact with zombies. Looking at his stance even though he concealed it, but still much more upright than ordinary people, Ye Xuan has a clue about the origin of this person.
This is the base man.
Probably because I was a little noisy today, and the people at the base were curious about how many materials I had in my hands, and also wanted to know why I collected crystal cores, so I asked someone to come over in private to inquire.
Ye Xuan said calmly: "There are only compressed biscuits at the stall, if you want other ones, if you can afford crystal nuclei, I can recall if there are any at home."
The man frowned and asked, "Only accept crystal nuclei?"
"When I was in City C, I collected some food and clothes, but I was short of emergency medicine. If you have any, you can make a price, and I will exchange food with you."
For supernatural beings, drugs are bigger than food than clothes. It is not difficult for them to find food, but it is difficult to find some cherished drugs. Hearing what Ye Xuan said, the man breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and said, "I want twenty packs of instant noodles and ten packs of compressed biscuits, do you have any?"
Ye Xuan knew in his heart that he was going to continue talking about himself, so he put all the things on the table into his bag, got up and put the bag on his back and said, "Yes, you and I can get it."
"sorry to bother you."
