It was 8:20 p.m., forty minutes before the auction started.
At this moment, Yunyou and the others, who had finished dinner, were wandering around the party night venue.
Humanity's ability to adapt is not weak. After slowly establishing a survivor base, all aspects of recovery were immediately put on the process. Now that the fourth year of the apocalypse is about to end, a stable system has been formed within the base.
It can be said that mankind has begun to face the end of the world with a new attitude.
Hanyue Village is an example of this. The infrastructure that was once destroyed has now been restored to a certain extent.
At night, street lights powered by solar energy are performing their own responsibilities.
These street lights are sparsely arranged along the roadside. Although they are not many in number, they are enough to illuminate a path for pedestrians.
This world merges with the apocalypse in its own way.
Looking at the street lights under the night sky.
Yun You couldn't help but sigh, if the previous timeline hadn't been due to loopholes in the rules of the plane itself, maybe humans would have survived in this new way.
Unfortunately... there is no if.
Yun You couldn't help but once again feel the weight of the responsibility on her shoulders. This was not just for her to survive alone.
"What's wrong?"
Han Qichuan on the side couldn't help but wonder when he saw Yun You looking at the street lamp in a trance, and his expression changed from sadness to solemnity.
The deep and thick voice recalled Yun You's thoughts. She looked at Han Qichuan, smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, I just thought of some things from the past. Let's go, we seem to be at this place in the nightclub."
"Well, okay." Han Qichuan followed, but he was thinking.
What was the boss like before?
The nightclub is mainly located in the center, not far from the auction venue, but it is somewhat far away from the shops that Yunyou and the others rent. After all, one is in the east and the other is in the west.
Except for some shady clubs, nightclubs are mainly places where exotic animals are sold.
According to the information Yun You has seen, although alien beasts can be found throughout the post-apocalyptic world, they are mainly concentrated in the forests and the wilderness of the west.
Due to various reasons, not everyone can access exotic beasts on their own. Therefore, in order to cater to market demand, the sale of exotic beasts has formed a unique industrial chain.
Those powerful alien beasts are difficult to control, so most of the sales of these alien beasts exist among low-level alien beasts and alien beast cubs.
There are very few people who can truly establish a spiritual connection with alien beasts, and humans are also very picky about the strength of alien beasts. Because of this, many exotic beasts were bought back just as playthings.
Yun You walked on the road and frowned as he looked at the cages on the stalls.
These dealers do not take good care of the exotic animals, or they see them more as a tool to make money. The living conditions of most of these cubs can only be described as miserable.
There was a smell of blood along the way, and you could even see bloody wounds on some of the little beasts in the cages.
Even though she was mentally prepared, Yun You still felt a tremor in her heart. Borrowing from the previous timeline, Ling Xuanwei's description of the trafficking of exotic beasts, it was a bloody business route, full of sin and evil.
There are already conflicts between alien beasts and humans, and this buying and selling route only deepens the conflicts.
"The boss wants to save them?" Han Qichuan said speculatively when he saw Yun You's expression. From his own perspective, he did not recommend that Yun You save them.
This treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. As long as the demand is there, the sale of exotic animals will continue to exist.
However, Yun You's thoughts were consistent with his.
She shook her head: "I can't save them."
First of all, the price of these exotic beasts is not cheap, at least five level three crystal cores or more.
Secondly, even if she buys all these strange beasts, what will happen to them after that? Many of them are cubs, and they don’t even have the ability to survive independently. She can’t put so many in her small shop. .
What's more, after this batch, there will be the next batch.
Cang Qing kept this deal in the gathering, and I believe he had considered it. If humans had the help of alien beasts when fighting zombies, the survival rate would be much higher.
Humans need the power of alien beasts, and the main source of alien beasts is this buying and selling line.
If you want to truly change the status quo, you must reverse the pattern of the entire buying and selling line. At least, she can't do this now.
Yun You hugged Da Ju and sighed: "Let's go, let's go through here quickly and go to the auction house first."
She didn't want to see the scene here.
"good."
Han Qichuan responded.
He glanced around, there wasn't much emotion in his eyes, it was just the fate of the apocalypse.
What they don't know is that the heterosexual trade here has actually been greatly restricted. At least there is no abuse of the cubs in public to please customers.

The auction venue is arranged like a conference hall. There is a stage in front of it. There is a black lacquered wooden table on the stage. There is a large projection screen on the wall behind the stage. It is most likely used to show information and pictures of the auction items. use.
There are actually quite a few seats at the auction, which are distributed radially in an arc form from low to high.
The auction venue has two floors.
In addition to the seats seen on the first floor, there are some private rooms on the second floor. The comfort level of the private rooms is not at the same level as the seats below. Those who can use the private rooms are undoubtedly people with status and status.
Yunyou and the others were lucky enough to experience the luxury of a private room because they had the black gold card that Cheng Jun had given them.
"It's my first time to experience such high-end treatment. It feels a bit novel." Yun You looked around the box. If she hadn't known that this was the end of the world, she might have thought that she was in some high-end place on earth. Clubhouse.
I have to say that the auction house is really amazing.
Daju rolled on the leather sofa, then yawned, drooped his ears, half-squinted his eyes, and thought to himself: Meow, this is not as comfortable as sleeping on the sofa in my store, alas, it can only be Made do.
As time passed, many people came in one after another through the safe passages of the auction. It seemed that by the time the auction started, the seats would be packed.
Yun You glanced at the wall clock in the box. It was eight forty-five. In fifteen minutes, the auction would begin.

"Report to Team Cheng that a time bomb was found at the ventilation duct entrance of Channel 7."
"Report to Team Cheng, a micro time bomb was found in Channel 1."
"Report to Team Cheng that the bomb disassembly in Channel 7 has been completed."
"Report to Team Cheng, Channel 1, the bomb has been dismantled."
…
News came one by one, but the expression on Cheng Jun's face remained solemn, and there was no news from Channel 3.
He picked up the communicator and asked: "Channel 3, how is the situation?"
"Report to Team Cheng, there is nothing found in Channel 3."
