"Ms. Ye, when I woke up today, I found that the room I rented had undergone earth-shaking changes, as well as masterpieces such as the yard wall and the iron gate. It has only been a short night. I am really speechless about your ability. You are surprised one after another."
When she came out of the bedroom, she was greeted by Jin Zhao's rainbow talk and sincere praise, which made her feel comfortable both physically and mentally.
Who doesn't like to be praised?
It's just that it's noon now, so Imaki should have already set off back to his base, right? Why are you still here?
Maybe he didn't manage his expression properly, and as soon as his thoughts came together, a cold voice sounded in his ears, "I also wanted to go back early to tell them the good news, but I saw so many zombies coming to Lake City yesterday, and I'm afraid I'll encounter something similar on the road. Yes, my strength is not as good as yours. If we really encounter each other, ten lives are not enough for me to escape, so..."
"So you want to ask if I can send you there?" Jin Zhao's purpose was too obvious, and Ye Jinyan took over the words without thinking.
"Is that okay? My current weapon is only a dagger, and the pistol is an empty shell at most. You just need to send me to the junction of Hu City and Ting City, where I have a car hidden."
How can you refuse if you have a crystal core to earn money from!
"Twenty white crystal nuclei." Ye Jinyan was very polite and offered a relatively ideal price for bodyguards.
"Deal, let's go now?" Jin Zhao said nothing and took out the white crystal core from his bag and handed it to her.
I peeked at the bag full of crystal cores, estimated to be more than fifty, including yellow crystal cores. Ye Jinyan's heart was bleeding. If he had known she was so straightforward, the price might as well have been raised!
Such a comparison makes her look so cheap!
Let’s talk about why Jin Zhao is so rich?
"Let's start after lunch." Ye Jinyan walked to the table with the iron box expressionlessly and put in the crystal core to replenish the scarce points after the upgrade.
Current points balance: 6000+20*100=8000.
There are still 2000 left before the next upgrade.
It's not much different. You can stretch your muscles a little while escorting Imaki.
The decision to ruin it had to be postponed.
Earning points is not easy, salty fish sighs!
After quickly finishing his lunch, Ye Jinyan asked Ye Xiangle not to go out and walk around, but to stay at home, and then left the wooden house with Jin Zhao.
As for the iron gate in the yard, she set the permission to not open it, so there was no need to worry about Ye Xiangle running out.
Although his strength was here, in order to shorten the time and try to get back to the cabin at night, Ye Jinyan decided to lead Jin Zhao to the path behind the house and then out onto the main road.
There was no abnormal movement on this path as before, but the black water flowing in the river was even more fishy.
While the two were walking together, Ye Jinyan learned that the urban area where Jinzhao was located was Jiyang Town, a suburb of Lushi. The name of the base was Jiyang Volunteer Base, and the tentative leader was named Xu Xiang.
Originally there was only one base in Lushi, but later the Lushi base began to respect those who awakened superpowers. It became increasingly difficult for ordinary people who were unable to resist to survive. At first, they only needed to pay some jewelry as protection fees, or do some dirty work. In the end, they may have tasted the benefits of living, and some openly attacked ordinary people because they were awakened ones.
For a moment, the base was in chaos, but Lin Qingzhi, the leader of the exposed base, turned a blind eye and acquiesced to his subordinates' actions. He did not treat ordinary people as human beings at all, as if they were looking at a commodity that could be traded.
This behavior went against Xu Xiang's original intention of joining the Lushi base, so he ordered the survivors who were willing to follow him to go to the town to establish a new base.
Jin Zhao is one of them.
Jiyang Base had a hard time at the beginning. It was only thanks to Xu Xiang, Jin Zhao and others that they went out to search for resources that they managed to survive. Not only that, they also had to face harassment from Lushi Base.
Fortunately, the number of kind-hearted people in the last days is greater than the number of people who have lost their humanity, so the Jiyang base has gradually risen and grown enough to compete with the strength of the Lushi base.
Later, some researchers discovered a trace of vitality against zombie viruses from the crystal core, and proposed to cooperate with other bases to jointly study serum that inhibits or eradicates zombie viruses. As the second-in-command, Jin Zhao did his part and took the initiative to invite Ying to come to Lake City to discuss cooperation.
Through a few words, Ye Jinyan only remembered the names of the more important people, Xu Xiang of Jiyang Base and Lin Qingzhi of Lushi Base, and divided them into blacklists of those who could cooperate and those who could not cooperate.
Lin Qingzhi is honored to be the first person to be included in the blacklist.
Although she loves crystal cores very much, her character is not good. No matter how many crystal cores she trades, she will still disdain them and find them dirty!
…
"I'm telling you, what Sister Xu awakened is illusion. She is simply a gifted awakener. She can use it freely in just half a day. She has been so powerful in several critical moments of life and death. If it weren't for her, I would have become a zombie. I'm a member, I..."
Jin Zhao started chatting and talked endlessly about the many dangerous past events between her and Xu Xiang. Her words were full of admiration and admiration.
From talking about the cabin to now, she didn't feel tired or thirsty.
At first, Ye Jinyan would chat with him for a few words, but in the end he became a qualified listener.
Just listen but don't talk.
It wasn't until the two of them passed a reed bush that a strong fishy wind blew in their faces. Ye Jinyan spoke, but with a cautious word, and then pulled Jin Zhao behind him with his left hand, and swung down the mace in his right hand.
The stick wind collided with this fishy wind, and a scream sounded.
The one who attacked Jin Zhao was an alienated dog, which looked quite familiar.
Moreover, this alienated dog's reaction was also very quick. Knowing that the danger was coming, he blocked the blow with his body and would not directly lose his life.
"Ouch~~~" It stood up staggeringly, then raised its head and roared.
The next second, there was a lot of movement in the reeds, and five or six white-eyed alien dogs came out with grinning teeth.
Ye Jinyan could see at a glance that it had yellow eyes. It was already extremely fast and reaching this level was undoubtedly the icing on the cake.
If it weren't for her quick observation, Jin Zhao would have died long ago.
And it actually knows how to call its companions!
"This zombie dog is not simple." Jin Zhao touched her neck with lingering fear, she was almost about to be bitten.
"Don't move around here, don't let down your guard, I'll deal with them." Ye Jinyan moved her wrist slightly, and the mace spun around. Before the circle was completed, her figure disappeared from the spot.
What a rapid improvement! So what if you can summon your companions!
Comparing speed with her?
Innocent!
"Uh-huh!"
A strong wind caused the reeds to bend, causing the reeds to fly freely due to external force.
Some of it floated onto Jin Zhao's face, and she raised her hands to rub her face uncomfortably. When she finished rubbing her face and looked again, she saw Ye Jinyan squatting there and playing with the alienated dog's head.
She was stunned.
What just happened? Why did it end? How many seconds?
In this way, Jin Zhao once again refreshed his understanding of Ye Jinyan's strength, and became more determined to make friends with him, at least someone he could not offend.
