Yang Xiao visited two strongholds and found that most of the people trading at the street stalls were ordinary people, or people with a relatively low level of genetic evolution.
Yang Xiao walked from beginning to end and browsed the entire street stall, but didn't see any strange items. He was about to turn around and go back when he was startled and saw a young man placing 2 packs of Master Kong instant noodles on the street stall.
You actually want to sell instant noodles?
There were several people around, and everyone asked the young people about it. They thought the price was too expensive, so everyone shook their heads and walked away.
What surprised Yang Xiao even more was that squatting in front of the instant noodles were two children in their twenties and thirties. Although they were wearing fish skin armor to keep out the cold, their genetic evolution levels were low and their faces were red from the cold.
The two children stared at the instant noodles in front of them, looking greedy.
Yang Xiao was shocked. For the first time since entering the apocalypse, he saw a child.
Yang Xiao walked over and took a closer look. There were two children, a girl and a boy. From listening to their conversation, they seemed to be a brother and a sister.
"Brother, how do you sell this instant noodles?" Yang Xiao asked
"A pack of three hundred crystal coins."
said the young man.
"Three hundred crystal coins can buy a necklace or ring with 4 attributes. It's too expensive."
Yang Xiao has never been short of food, and he doesn't know much about the market outside.
The young man looked at Yang Xiao and saw that Yang Xiao was holding a tall flaming horse. He looked extraordinary. It would be difficult for him to sell instant noodles to the poor. Everyone was worried about the crystal coins.
300 crystal coins are a drop in the bucket for Yang Xiao, but for these poor people, it is very difficult.
Although the resources in Magic City are abundant, most of them are concentrated in the hands of upper-level managers. Otherwise, with a population of more than 200,000 in Magic City, it would be almost impossible to develop evenly if everyone wants to share the resources equally.
Yang Xiao once heard Zhou Jian say that about half of the people in the Demon City can improve their genetic evolution by using the flesh and blood of mutated monsters, and among this half of the people, they will slowly solidify as their genetic evolution level increases. .
When they cannot improve their genetic evolution level by eating more mutated monster flesh, they will be excluded from the training team.
There are not many people who can truly enter the stage of enhanced genes, and the resources of the Magic City will eventually be mainly used to satisfy these high-level evolvers.
Ordinary people can pick up some ice fish outside to satisfy their hunger, as well as some of the food uniformly distributed by the magic city.
At this time, there are plenty of ice fish, but many people vomit after eating fish every day, so a pack seems very precious.
"Brother, I see you are not a person who is short of money. If you want it, how about two packages of 500 crystal coins together? I want to exchange for a necklace, and I am just short of money. This is the food I saved a few months ago. Now It’s hard to get instant noodles.”
Yang Xiao smiled and said,
"Okay, just 500 crystal coins."
He took out 500 crystal coins and handed them to the young man. The young man happily gave the two bags of noodles to Yang Xiao, and then hurried to other stalls to buy the equipment that he had long fancied.
The instant noodles were sold, and the onlookers dispersed.
These people are also observant. Looking at Yang Xiao's appearance and temperament, especially the flaming horse behind him, you know that he is not an ordinary poor person, so no one dares to take advantage of him.
Yang Xiao led the horse a few steps forward and found a house where he stood under the eaves, pretending to eat instant noodles.
This is fried instant noodles. You can chew them directly without soaking them in boiling water.
When he turned around, he found two children following him, staring at the instant noodles in his hand.
These two children seemed different. Maybe people around them were used to it, but it was different for Yang Xiao.
"Want to eat?"
Yang Xiao raised his hand at the two twelve or thirteen-year-old children holding a convenience store.
The two children swallowed and said nothing, but the greedy look in their eyes became even hotter.
"Brother asks you a few questions. If you can answer them, I will give them to you."
When the boy heard this, he nodded immediately.
The girl held her brother's hand and seemed a little afraid of Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao smiled and handed a pack of instant noodles to the girl.
"You take it first."
"real?"
The woman's eyes were shining and she had a bright smile on her face, as if she had picked up a treasure. She took it with both hands, touched it with her hands, and quickly put it in her arms.
"Thank you, big brother!"
The girl was pleasantly surprised and bowed to Yang Xiao excitedly.
"Why don't you eat?"
"I want to go back later and cook it in boiling water. It will be more fragrant and you can also drink the fragrant noodle soup."
the girl said excitedly.
"What are your names?"
"My name is Yang Ying."
"My name is Yang Kai."
Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
"What a coincidence, my surname is also Yang, my name is Yang Xiao."
Perhaps it was Yang Xiao's calm attitude that made the two children feel close to each other, so the two children immediately shouted loudly:
"Hello, brother Yang Xiao!"
"You are brother and sister, right?"
"Yes, I am the brother and she is my sister. I am one and a half years older than my sister."
"Where are your parents?"
Yang Xiao asked habitually. When you see a strange child, don't you always ask about the other person's parents?
He regretted it as soon as he said it, because he knew that in the end of the world, only people between the ages of 18 and 22 would survive. These two children today were the first children he had seen who could survive.
The two children seemed to have gotten used to it. The boy Yang Kai said calmly:
"When we woke up, our parents were gone. Now is the end of the world, and everyone has no parents."
Yang Xiao nodded and handed another pack of instant noodles to the boy Yang Kai.
The boy was stunned for a moment and didn't answer.
"why do not you answer?"
Yang Kai looked at Yang Xiao with a hesitant look on his face and said:
"You just asked these two questions and gave us two packs of instant noodles?"
Yang Xiao touched his head,
"What do you think? What other questions do I need to ask you?"
Yang Kai was silent, not knowing how to answer.
Yang Xiao stuffed the instant noodles into his hand and asked:
"What is your current level of genetic evolution?"
"My four zodiac signs are now 7 points, and my sister's is 6 points."
"Oh, that's right. It's 7 o'clock and 6 o'clock at such a young age. What do you usually rely on to improve genetic evolution?"
"Gene fragments, my sister and I followed our elder brothers and sisters to dig ice fish in the Huangpu River."
Yang Xiao nodded and said:
"Where do you live? Do you want me to take you back?"
"We live near here, across two streets, in the underground parking garage of a collapsed building. We live in the parking garage."
"Well, are you sure that if you go back alone, others won't steal this instant noodles?"
Yang Xiao asked, because he had already seen several young people paying attention to the Yang Ying and Yang Kai brothers and sisters.
When Yang Xiao said this, the two brothers and sisters suddenly woke up, with a look of fear on their faces.
There is an ordinary black sword hanging on the boy's waist, and the same goes for the girl. They are the kind of black swords that can be purchased for 3 crystal coins and have an additional 2 points of strength attribute. This was once Yang Xiao's treasure when he was pioneering the wasteland. arms.
(There are two more updates in the evening, to make up for the extra updates owed to the leader yesterday. A total of five updates are owed.)
