CHAPTER 41:

    Back at the Nanxi Base, Chu Qianxun received the red tickets distributed and went to the base's trading market.

    The Nanxi base is not large, and the trading market is set up on the overhead floor at the bottom of a teaching building. In addition to bartering, you can also use the coupons uniformly distributed by the base to buy things.

    Many people set up stalls to sell their own items. Some of the stalls were saints. Most of what they were selling were the materials they found when they went out to hunt demons alone, or the hard parts that could be used on the monsters.

    Some are ordinary people living in the base, and the things they sell may be a little strange.

    If you have a few green cabbage leaves that you have grown, or put out your only practical items such as watches, flashlights, lighters, weapons, etc., you can expect to get a half-meal ticket.

    There are also luxury goods such as jewelry that are very expensive before the end of the day, but of course, most of these are ignored.

    The largest fixed booths are surrounded by rows of desks. They are all kinds of materials obtained during each large-scale search operation organized by the base. They can be regarded as "official booths".

    Due to the frequent organization of search operations in the base, the "official booth" has accumulated a large amount of various materials, which stabilized the prices in the base to a certain extent.

    Even ordinary human beings living in the base, as long as they can exert their strength and strive for work points, can accumulate a few tickets and come here to exchange for inexpensive quilts, dishes, buckets and other daily necessities.

    There are also patrols to maintain law and order in the market at any time, and it is clearly stipulated that the phenomenon of looting goods, forced buying and forced selling is not allowed.

    Although the entire market is not big, it is much more lively and stable than the Goose City Base.

    Chu Qianxun stood by a booth selling weapons and looked around. Her blade was worn out, and she wanted to see if there was any suitable replacement.

    Jiang Xiaojie squatted beside her, flipping over on the ground and laying out the weapons that were simply machined from the limbs of monsters.

    "There are no good goods, Sister Qianxun." He said, "The good weapons and materials have been taken away by the leaders. If you want weapons, I will turn back and ask Teacher Jiang and the others, he has good goods. The most."

    "Participate in the al-Qaeda unified organization's demon hunting, although the demon species can be owned by us, but the body of the monster and the searched materials must be handed in." Ye Peitian stood beside Chu Qianxun and spoke, " Let's go out by ourselves and kill a high-level one to make a weapon for you."

    "I'm not satisfied with the Demon Seed, I just don't know what to do. If it wasn't for Al Qaeda to hunt demons, I would have provided you with intelligence, vehicles, and powerful teammates. Do you think you can kill so many monsters with just a few of you?"

    A man's sneering voice sounded.

    Chu Qianxun and the others turned around, and

    Tang Lian led a group of people standing not far behind them.

    The person who just spoke was a man with dyed yellow hair behind Tang Juan named Le He An.

    The chubby Shi Deming squeezed up from behind and helped to smooth things out, "Ale, don't talk like that, they are all brothers who took refuge in the base. Sister Qianxun and Brother Pei Tian have just arrived at our base and participated in the collective action, which is also very good. It's awesome. Our base didn't say that the team is restricted from doing their own activities alone, haha, let's understand each other, right?"

    Le and An snorted: "Old Shi, you are a good and bad guy, this man shot yesterday. I just stole your limelight, don't you know?"

    Tang Juan put on a coat and looked like he was hanging around, raised his hand to stop the people around him from speaking.

    He touched his chin and looked at Chu Qianxun for a long while: "This time there is a second-order monster, you killed it?"

    Chu Qianxun didn't speak, nodded and waited for Tang Juan to continue.

    She wanted to see what kind of personality the leader of this base had.

    "Give it to me, the conditions are up to you." Tang Lian raised his hand, "What do you want, I have all kinds of weapons and armors made of second-order monster shells. Do you have any other needs, Bullets, potions? Everything is fine."

    Chu Qianxun smiled: "Brother Tien, you didn't say it sooner, it's a pity, I've already eaten that devil seed."

    Tang Juan's face was put down, his eyebrows were very short , When the eight eyebrows are down, and the face is sinking, it shows a vicious hooligan.

    Ye Peitian and Jiang Xiaojie both subconsciously took half a step forward and stood in front of Chu Qianxun.

    "Hey, I said you guys don't understand who is the boss of the base, do you still want to hang out at the base?" Le Hean rolled up his sleeves and walked forward.

    Tang Juan reached out and stopped him: "Just treat it as I borrowed it from you, and pay you back double within a week."

    Chu Qianxun didn't enter the oil and salt: "Look at what you said, I really ate it, or you will pay it back. I've already spoken, I have no choice but to give this face."

    Tang Juan snorted coldly, then turned around and led people away.

    Jiang Xiaojie whispered to Chu Qianxun disdainfully: "What is it, I have to drag 258,000 to 80,000 yuan. If I can't get the Demon Seed, I still want someone else's. The first day I came here to see him, it was not pleasing to the eye."

    Chu Qianxun smiled . After a moment: "As long as he doesn't rob him, his attitude doesn't matter."

    A middle-aged man with a gentle appearance came over.

    He stretched out his hand to Chu Qianxun and smiled gently: "I heard your name for a long time, and we only met officially today. My surname is Jiang, Jiang Yuanshan. It turned out to be the teacher of this school, and everyone still calls it. I'm Teacher Jiang."

    Chu Qianxun reached out and shook his hand politely.

    "I have seen what happened just now." Teacher Jiang spoke with an education worker's prudence and elegance, which made it difficult for people to feel disgusted with him, "Don't mind, Ah Juan is just a little bit angry, He won't be malicious."

    "Don't be angry, don't be angry, how can I be angry with brother tired." Chu Qianxun laughed and slapped haha.

    As long as Tang Juan didn't grab her things, she would have nothing to be angry about.

    Likewise, she certainly wouldn't relax her vigilance against Tang Lian just because of what Teacher Jiang said in front of her.

    A smiling person like Jiang Yuanshan couldn't impress her.

    She herself can put on a harmless smile whenever she needs to.

    In a corner of the market, a woman's screaming voice caught everyone's attention.

    "Dear, what's wrong with you?" The woman shook the man beside her desperately.

    "Cuck...kill...cuck...me." The man grabbed his neck with both hands, his eyeballs protruded, green liquid spit out from his mouth, and an indistinct sound came out of his throat.

    In the next instant, his abdomen suddenly bulged rapidly, his eyes turned white, his back split open, and six long, slender, multi-branched arms creaked out.

    "It's demonized, someone is demonized! Come on someone!"

    "Someone failed to take the demon seed again."

    The woman slumped to the ground with a slump. They spent all their wealth in exchange for a Demon Seed. When her man ate the Demon Seed, he smiled and promised her that he would become stronger soon. You can live a better life without starving.

    The sudden and huge change made her limp on the ground, her limbs trembling, and she didn't know how to face it all.

    The man who turned into a "monster" turned his head, his pale pupils looked at her, and the mucus in his mouth dripped on the floor in front of her.

    A warm hand stretched out from behind and covered her eyes. At the same time, the sharp sound of the blade breaking through the air sounded, and a hot liquid gradually reached her body.

    "Don't look."

    Before she lost consciousness, she heard a woman's voice ringing in her ear.

    When Jiang Yuanshan ran over, Chu Qianxun had already settled the battle cleanly.

    The huge body of the demonized man was split in half, scattered on the ground, and the filthy liquid flowed between the roads of the market.

    The young Chu Qianxun seemed to be very accustomed to what was in front of her. She shook the liquid from the blade in her hand and handed over the woman who had fainted in the other hand to Jiang Yuanshan.

    "Take care of it, Mr. Jiang."

    Jiang Yuanshan recruited medical staff from the two bases and entrusted the woman to him.

    "You really deserve your reputation, Miss Chu, you are really admirable." Jiang Yuanshan said with emotion.

    He looked at the blade in Chu Qianxun's hand: "I'm afraid you won't be able to use this knife anymore. There are a group of weapons specially made for the strong like you in the base. Would you like to go see it with me?"

    Chu Qianxun followed Jiang Yuanshan to a separate warehouse upstairs in the trading market.

    "These are all parts removed from the monster's body. Al Qaeda personnel have carried out special research and development and transformation, and made various weapons." Jiang Yuanshan introduced the various weapons on the shelf as he walked. It is not sold in the market, and it is only given to the core personnel within the organization. You can pick and choose, if you have any."

    "Do you need to exchange it with a second-order demon? I don't have it." Chu Qianxun said.

    "Haha, Miss Chu is really funny. I didn't bring you here to ask for a demon seed for Ah Wan. I admire your ability. I hope you can have better weapons and contribute a lot to our common base. Li. In other words, Ah Juan is so eager to want the Demon Seed because a very powerful monster has recently appeared near the base. Ah Juan is the most powerful saint in our base and is everyone's support. Of course, he must give priority to improving Take a look at your abilities, this is also for the safety of the entire base."

    Jiang Yuanshan said in a kind and generous tone of elders, "But honestly, how many second-order demons can there be now? Everyone is not enough for himself, take It's understandable not to come out."

    "Mr. Jiang is really a good person, thank you for your understanding." Chu Qianxun looked at the dazzling array of weapons, itching in his heart, and complimenting him.

    There are several weapons made of second-order monster limbs, which she really likes, so she asks for the price.

    "Which weapon Miss Chu likes, just pay a little bit of the first-order demons according to the performance of the weapon. If you don't take advantage of it for a while, it's okay to owe the insufficient part first. I can still trust Miss Chu's personality. "

    Thank you very much, Teacher Jiang. In the future, I will rely on Teacher Jiang to take care of me in the base." Chu Qianxun was in a happy mood.

    Jiang Yuanshan's intention to win over her is very obvious.

    She also heard Jiang Yuanshan's dissatisfaction with Tang Juan vaguely revealed inside and outside the words.

    Chu Qianxun usually wouldn't let it go when he could take advantage of it.

    And she had no burden on her heart.

    Jiang Yuanshan was very satisfied when he saw that Chu Qianxun was so good. How could she know that she was already planning to leave here tomorrow.

    When Chu Qianxun came downstairs, he was holding a pair of amber double knives.

    The slender blade is in a transparent state, and there are faint traces of strange markings inside. Chu Qianxun played with the knife flower, two bright yellow knife lights appeared beside him, and the sound of Qingyue’s knife buzzed in the air.

    They were really two good knives, and Chu Qianxun was satisfied.

    "Sister Qianxun's knife is so beautiful." Jiang Xiaojie and Ye Peitian greeted them. They walked around the market and bought a lot of things each.

    Jiang Xiaojie bought a lot of snacks, comics, and even an ancient game console the size of a palm.

    Ye Peitian even carried large and small bags, most of which were all kinds of food, including a unique charcoal-fired copper pot.

    During dinner, Ye Peitian even invited everyone to eat hot pot in his house.

    When Chu Qianxun and Gao Yan entered the room, there was a scrubbed copper hot pot in the middle of the table, with charcoal burning in the middle, and the bottom of the pot was already simmering, and a table was full of all the ingredients.

    Although there are no rich ingredients like before the end of the day, there are also vegetables, mushrooms, fungus, luncheon meat, noodles, eggs and other rare things at this time.

    Ye Peitian was packing vegetables by the sink when he saw people coming and greeted everyone to take a seat.

    "I didn't expect that I would have a chance to eat hot pot in my life." Qi Yongchun was almost tearful, he grabbed Ye Peitian's hand and shook it vigorously, "Brother Ye, you are so capable, you can fight and cook. In the future. Xiao Qi, I will follow you, brother Ye, don't despise me."

    In the shabby dormitory, everyone sat around the steaming hot pot, in a trance and smashed it to the taste of life before the apocalypse.

    Granny Feng looked at the steaming white mist on the hot pot, her eyes were red: "My little grandson used to like to come to me and eat the hot pot I made."

    She choked and said in a low voice, "It's all gone now. I'm the only old orphan left in the whole family, what's the use of living?"

    Tu Yibai stretched out his hand, groped for the spoon on the table, took a quail egg from the hot pot, and slowly touched the bowl and put it into Granny Feng's bowl.

    Granny Feng stretched out her thin fingers, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and served Tu Yibai food: "Good boy, thank you. Don't talk about being unhappy, eat quickly, you can eat more."

    Ye Peitian adjusted a plate of dipping sauce The sauce was placed in front of Chu Qianxun.

    Chu Qianxun took it and dipped it in hot pot ingredients.

    She never picks what she eats, as long as she can eat it, she can send it to her mouth, and she always eats more quickly and more.

    But Ye Peitian made this sauce really suit her taste. It was fragrant and mellow, slightly salty and spicy, which was her favorite.

    This Ye Peitian is too good at eating, Chu Qianxun chopsticks kept thinking in his mind that he would change his way to eat in the wild, and he even made a hot pot when he arrived at the base. He was spoiled, and he was afraid that he would not be able to find something to eat in the future.

    Chu Qianxun ate quickly, and Ye Peitian put hot dishes into her bowl from time to time.

    After eating the hot pot, most people at the table could see that Ye Peitian had an unusual attitude towards Chu Qianxun.

    Only Chu Qianxun, who was busy sweeping vegetables, was unaware.

    When he was full, Chu Qianxun put down his chopsticks, "I'm leaving tomorrow. What are you going to do?"

    Ye Peitian's hand with Caicai stopped, and his slender fingers curled up imperceptibly.

    "I... um... I'm following Sister Qianxun." Jiang Xiaojie raised his hand while eating.

    Gao Yan: "I must be the same, I said that I want to be with you."

    "Okay, Xiaojie, Sister Yan, and Pei Tian are still going to Ludao with me." Chu Qianxun looked at everyone's reactions.

    She was surprised to see that Ye Peitian seemed to be relieved, withdrew his chopsticks and bowed his head to eat silently.

    "Mother Feng, what about you?" Chu Qianxun asked, "This base looks okay, but I always feel that there is something wrong in the dark. I don't recommend you stay here."

    Gao Yan said, "Qianxun is right, I stayed here for a few more days, and found that they were peaceful on the surface, but in fact they were fighting fiercely within themselves. I feel that these gangsters are almost going to make trouble on the surface, and it is best if we don’t get involved.”

    "Qianxun," Granny Feng said, "although this base seems to be a bit more stable than Goose City, I have stayed for two days, and I really feel that there is something wrong with the peace. If you don't dislike it, we still want to be with you again. Let's walk together."

    Qi Yongchun and Tu Yibai both agreed.

    "That's alright, everyone, pack up your things, and don't tell anyone. Tomorrow we'll go silently." Chu Qianxun came to a final conclusion.

CHAPTER 42:

42
    Gao Yan was packing his luggage in the house.

    Chu Qianxun was idle and bored, and did push-ups with one finger on the floor. She put her right hand on her back and only supported the ground with her left index finger.

    "Qianxun, why did you put it together like this, wouldn't it be too hard for you?" Gao Yan was folding her clothes and packing tomorrow's luggage.

    "It's not hard work, what kind of hard work is this, it's much better than before." After Chu Qianxun finished a hundred strokes, he changed his hand and continued.

    "Nonsense, weren't you a student before? What hard work can you have while reading and talking about love in school?" Gao Yan was struggling with what to bring with her tomorrow.

    She lived at the Nanxi Base for a few days, and she had a lot of things, and she was reluctant to lose it, and she was reluctant to lose it, and it was difficult to choose.

    "Qianxun, don't you have anything to organize?"

    "No, I can go anytime."

    Chu Qianxun only has a carry-on backpack, which is always filled with some emergency medicines, a small amount of high-calorie food and water, Add a few small items such as lighters and flashlights for field survival.

    Whenever you pack a backpack, you can go out with a weapon.

    "Sometimes, I really think you don't look like a girl of your age." Gao Yan looked at the two pieces of clothes she had just returned from the market, gritted her teeth and prepared to lose them.

    "Qianxun, have you noticed that Xiao Ye is always trying to make you happy?"

    "No?" Chu Qianxun kept moving, the sweat on his face dripping down his chin, "It's unnecessary. Well, I have promised to take him with me in the future."

    Gao Yan rolled her eyes at her angrily, this is really a strange woman.

    As if the doomsday came, she would spontaneously clean up the golden years and the Mood for Love in the past, leaving only a fighting madman who only knew how to become stronger.

    Out of nowhere came a mix of bass and guitar, a deep, atmospheric voice of a bass rippling low in the dark night.

    That person has a wide range of voice, with a unique dark voice, his singing is gloomy and arrogant, vague and a little sad.

    Chu Qianxun stood up, took the towel handed by Gao Yan, wiped his face, and looked out of the pitch-black
