The snow at the entrance of the supermarket has melted a little, and there are traces of black charcoal on it, which has not been completely buried by the snow. Apparently someone had lit a fire there not long ago.
The wind outside was so loud that Ji Zhan couldn't accurately hear the nearby sounds.
"Don't be nervous, it may not be a robber, it could be someone from other bases."
The closest to the fifth security base is the fourth security base, but the fourth security base has been destroyed by the mother monster, so now the nearest large base to the fifth base is within a range of two hundred kilometers away.
However, there is no way to count small bases. Small bases do not have as clear rules as large bases. They exist more like a family outside the base.
But now they were unable to determine the identity of the person hiding here. Qi Huan had already clenched the pistol in his hand and carefully observed the situation outside.
Suddenly, the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air came from far to near.
An arrow actually flew over and finally landed in front of their car.
Cold weapons like bows and arrows were eliminated from the battlefield long after guns appeared in human history and became a civilian sport.
The arrow was stuck diagonally in the snow in front of the car. It seemed that he had no intention of harming them, but just wanted to stop them.
Zhao Ziwei looked over and saw a man holding a bow and arrow standing behind the window upstairs.
The man has a rugged build, wears clothes patched with black bear skin, and a black felt hat. He looks like a nomad before the end of the world.
The man put down the long bow in his hand and shouted to Zhao Ziwei and the others: "I don't mean any harm, I just want to buy something from you!"
Then, without waiting for a response from Zhao Ziwei, the man shouted downstairs: "Aji, Al!"
I saw a pair of twin little girls running out of the supermarket door. They looked to be only six or seven years old. They were also wearing clothes made of animal skins. Their faces were red from the cold, but their deer eyes were very bright.
The two little girls ran to Zhao Ziwei's car unprepared. They were no taller than the car window. They could only raise their heads and shouted in unison: "Brother, sell us something, we are so cold."
Zhao Ziwei was a little embarrassed for a while. It was actually difficult to say no to such a young child.
Yu Wu, who was in the back seat, felt a little soft when she heard the child yelling coldly, and said: "Vice captain, how about we... uh uh uh!"
Before Yu Wu could finish her words, Qi Huan on the side covered her mouth. Qi Huan glared at her, and Yu Wu became quiet instantly.
Jing Sa turned his head and looked at the man who was following behind him.
To be able to approach a stranger's car like this with his two daughters alone, either he has the ability, or his two daughters have the ability.
Ji Zhan had also quietly held the pistol in her hand. Ever since she heard the voices of the two little girls, she had a bad feeling.
The two twins stretched out their hands and leaned on the car window. Zhao Ziwei couldn't just step on the accelerator and leave, so he could only lower the car window first, and then said to the two little girls: "I'm sorry, we don't have any extra supplies to sell to you.
"
The twin sisters both had disappointed expressions on their faces, but one of them quickly climbed on the car window and looked up into the car.
The girl's nose twitched, she sniffed, and then said with a smile: "It smells so good, there must be something to eat later!"
After hearing the girl's words, Yu Wu and Qi Huan looked at each other. There were only military supplies and a small amount of compressed biscuits in the trunk of their car. The other food was put into Yu Wu's space to keep warm.
There can be no food aroma at all.
So what exactly is this little girl talking about?
The girl's gaze collided with Ji Zhan's calm gaze, and Ji Zhan suddenly showed a bit of surprise, as if he had seen something incredible.
"I'm so sorry for stopping you in this way." The man also walked to the car and held the little girl hanging on the window in his arms. The other twin girl hugged her father's calf. The two girls
Looks cute and well-behaved.
Zhao Ziwei saw that the man had only a long bow and a quiver, but no weapons such as firearms. He lowered his guard a little and said, "We still have tasks to perform, and we don't have enough supplies, so it's not convenient to sell them to you."
.”
The man leaned on the rearview mirror and said to Zhao Ziwei: "Brother, please do me a favor. For the sake of my two girls being young, sell us some fire source stone bags. I know that the people who come from your big base must have it.
.”
The little girl hugged by the man also looked at Zhao Ziwei longingly, and said pitifully: "Brother, sell some to us."
The man also looked very distressed. When he saw Zhao Ziwei's defensive expression, he explained: "My name is Tuwulu, and these are my daughters Tubaji and Tubal. We escaped from another small base.
We wanted to go to the fifth base, but we used up all the original supplies on the way, so we had to stop you and want to buy some things."
After Tuwulu finished speaking, he lowered his voice and said: "The points I can pay you are much more useful than the points in the base."
As he said that, Tuwulu took out a diamond-shaped crystal from his sleeve, and the colors in the crystal were muddied together——
This is the crystal core of the monster.
Ji Zhan and Jing Sa's eyes narrowed slightly, and both of them couldn't help but think of the crystal core they saw on the black market before.
"Uh huh!" Yu Wu obviously remembered it, but unfortunately she couldn't say anything as Qi Huan covered her mouth.
"This is a good thing. The people in the small base are all rushing to get it. It's a pity that the people in the big base think it's too dirty and don't want it. But this is of great use to you evolvers." Tuwulu said.
Zhao Ziwei frowned and was about to refuse again when Ji Zhan suddenly spoke up: "Vice Captain, please rest here for a while. I don't feel very well."
Zhao Ziwei looked back at Ji Zhan, and Jing Sa beside him also acquiesced to Ji Zhan's request. Zhao Ziwei knew that they would never make such a willful request for no reason. It seemed that there was something wrong with Tu Uulu and his two daughters.
.
Zhao Ziwei turned to Tu Uulu and said, "Then let's discuss the price. My companion is sick and needs a place to rest."
Tu Wulu suddenly smiled and rolled his eyes. He looked at Zhao Ziwei as if he was looking at a big customer. Then he pushed aside and said to Zhao Ziwei and his party: "Then go to the house and rest. My two daughters and I are here."
I stayed there for three days and found a place to sleep."
Tu Uulu and his two daughters walked a few steps forward to lead the way, followed by Zhao Ziwei and his group who got out of the car.
Qi Huan also let go of his hand covering Yu Wu's mouth, and turned to help Ji Zhan, "Sister Ji Zhan, what's wrong with you? Are you dizzy?"
Ji Zhan didn't respond, just gave Qi Huan a look.
Qi Huan nodded quietly and glanced at the three father and daughter in front of him, his eyes showing caution.
