Chapter 510: Apathetic
Translator: 549690339
The recovery speed of his injuries was much faster than li xiaonian had expected.
Three days later, on the fourth day after the medical nanoworms lost their effectiveness, li xiaonian was able to get out of bed and walk. The only thing he was lacking was that his body was still quite weak.
the recovery speed of the body with defective genes is far faster than that of an Earthling. If an Earthling were to suffer such a serious injury, they wouldn’t be able to leave the ground for at least three to five months.
Li xiaonian couldn’t help but praise.
As expected of the main universe, its technological advancement was far beyond that of the thousand red territory. Even the self-recovery of the body was several levels higher.
Lu Qianhui, who was dismantling the waste, saw li xiaonian walking out of the yard with a leather coat and a sharp knife hanging from his waist. She was worried.”Big brother, you’re going out?”
“Yeah.”
Li xiaonian nodded.
After borrowing 15 Dayuan, the three of them were only able to survive for five days. Now, they only had one day’s worth of food left. Without any income, the three of them would starve to death.
Although his body was still weak, he had no choice but to go out.
Lu Qianhui gritted her teeth and put down her work. “Big brother, I’ll go out with you.”
Li xiaonian shook his head. you can stay at home. I’ll go out by myself. I’m just going out for a walk. There won’t be any danger.
To Lu Qianhui, her brother’s words were like the Golden Rule. She could not refute him. then ... Then be careful. Don’t get into a fight with others.
Li xiaonian reached out and ruffled his sister’s greasy hair.”With big brother here, everything will be fine.”
His hair was greasy and there was nothing he could do about it. The reason why abandoned planets were abandoned was not only because of the depletion of energy, but also because of the high radiation from the sun, which was not suitable for human survival.
In order to protect against the radiation, everyone who went out would wear a thick coat and hat even on a hot day.
Although it was hot, the people here were already used to it.
Li xiaonian’s house was located in a relatively remote area, and there were only a few households scattered around. Due to the cold relationship between them, the residents wouldn’t go out unless there was an important matter. Therefore, when he walked out of his house, the surroundings were deserted.
After passing through an empty residential area, they entered a wide square.
On the square, there were all kinds of simple shacks. The roof of the shacks was sewn together from old clothes, and they were colorful.
There were very few people in the market, and there were occasional shouts.
self-made gun, only 12 Tian Yuan, 1 Tian Yuan for 10 rounds.
“Fresh canned food, three days per serving.”
the latest v5 arm, 30 days worth of energy. You can come and take a look if you need it.
smart chip. If you know what’s good for you, come and take a look. The price is negotiable.
......
In the entire market, the items being traded were all items taken from the garbage dump. No matter what, these items were all trash that the main universe had thrown away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere was no charge before the goods were sold, but as long as the transaction was successful, one had to pay a considerable transaction tax.
Part of the tax would fall into boss Zhu’s hands, and the other part would be handed over to the Alliance’s law enforcement on the abandoned planet.
After layers of exploitation, the lower class people would thank the heavens if they could live. Once they grew old, sick, or disabled, there was almost no way to live.
Boss Zhu was the boss of Black Mountain ditch. It was said that he had more than 30 core subordinates and was in charge of the peace in this area.
Under boss Zhu’s management, the so-called peace was only on the surface. In fact, this area was filled with life-and-death battles every day, and boss Zhu’s subordinates would only come to ‘reason’ with him after the fights were over.
The most effective evidence of his theory was naturally the heaven’s origin.
Under such pressure, everyone became relatively rational. No one was willing to be exploited by boss Zhu unless they could not live.
The original owner of li xiaonian’s body was snatched away by brother Meng’s men. It seemed like they had the advantage, but in fact, the biggest beneficiary was still boss Zhu, because he would not give up the opportunity to ‘maintain peace’.
As soon as they entered the market, a laughing voice sounded.
yo, isn’t this Xiao le? you didn’t die. I have to say, you’re really lucky.
The person who spoke was a young man with a full beard and black and yellow teeth.
BA Xu was this man’s nickname. He was also li xiaonian’s former opponent. Back in the black Mountain Valley, li xiaonian had taught him a lot of lessons.
Li xiaonian glanced at the eight-bearded man indifferently before turning around to leave.
Li xiaonian couldn’t be bothered to talk to cowards like him who took advantage of others ‘power.
Being ignored by li xiaonian, the eight-bearded man was instantly enraged. He reached out to pull li xiaonian’s shoulder.”Brat, how dare you ignore me, Lord Myna? do you believe that I won’t let you see the sun the day after tomorrow ...”
Before eight whiskers could finish his sentence, a sharp metal weapon with a hook was pressed against his throat.
This time, the arrogant eight bearded man instantly died down. Looking at li xiaonian’s cold eyes, he felt guilty and said with a stiff face, ” “Brother Xiao, I was just joking, just joking ... Don’t take it seriously.”
As he spoke, eight whiskers carefully removed the sharp thorn at his throat.
Li xiaonian silently put away his weapon.
Without saying a word, li xiaonian turned around and left. No matter how much he tried to intimidate them with words, it was all for naught without sufficient strength. The Li xiaonian now had lost both his industrial mecha and his Fire Hawk gun. He was like a tiger without its claws and teeth.
“Phew ...”
BA Xu heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at li xiaonian’s back with fear in his eyes and cursed in his heart. damn b * stard, I wish you to die in the black ravine soon. As long as you die, I will help you ‘take care’ of your sister.
If he had dared to make the first move, he had reason to believe that li xiaonian would have slit his throat without hesitation.
This was an instinct, an instinct that could only be acquired after experiencing life and death.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he had a feeling that the injured Li Xiao le had become even more bloodthirsty and terrifying.
Li xiaonian walked around the market and finally stopped in front of a stall that sold homemade guns. He picked up the simple and crude gunpowder gun and inspected it.
The stall owner was an elderly middle-aged man. Seeing li xiaonian squatting in front of his stall, uncle Hu was instantly interested.”Brother Xiao, you’re also interested in the earth spear? If you need it, we’re all on the same side, so I won’t cheat you. 10 Tian Yuan, I’ll give you an extra three bullets.”
There were only two guns, and the craftsmanship was not flattering. As for the power of the bullets, the lethality was very limited. It could barely kill people, but it was simply wishful thinking to kill some mutant creatures.
No matter how crude the earth spear was, li xiaonian needed it urgently. Without a gun, he would only become a target of robbery if he went out to search for treasure.
In the end, li xiaonian chose the better one from the two earth Spears. He raised his head and looked at the other party, sincerely saying, uncle Hu, you should be clear about my situation. I don’t have any money right now, so lend me this spear for now. I’ll pay you the original price three days later. How about it? ”
The corner of uncle Hu’s mouth twitched. He hurriedly waved his hand. go, go, go. Brother Xiao, don’t even think about it. If you really want it, you can take it for seven days. As for the credit, no need to talk about it.
He knew li xiaonian very well. He was a kid who hung his head on his waist every day. If he wasn’t injured and still had his weapons and mecha, he would be able to pay on credit. But for now, he could forget about it.
Giving him credit was simply like throwing meat buns at a dog, there was no return.
He had also heard that Li Xiao le had borrowed money from boss Zhu. Could boss Zhu’s money be paid off so easily?
I’m willing to pay 20 Dayuan in three days. Li xiaonian raised his bet and stared at uncle Hu with a serious expression.
Uncle Hu’s heart moved. He was a little tempted.
These self-made guns were not easy to sell at 20 Dayuan. After deducting the production cost and taxes, he could earn at least 10 Dayuan.
“Brother Xiao, how many divine aeons do you owe boss Zhu?” uncle Hu asked curiously.
15 Tian Yuan, plus a piece of compressed food. Li xiaonian replied honestly.
Upon hearing this answer, uncle Hu shook his head. forget it, forget it. You’d better go somewhere else. These weapons of mine don’t suit you.
15 Tian Yuan was not the main point. The main point was a piece of [ compressed grain ]. The market price of compressed grain was 30 Tian Yuan. Moreover, there was a price but no market.
The fundamental reason why Boss Zhu thought so highly of this kid in front of him was, of course, that he wanted to exploit the target until he had nothing left.
With boss Zhu’s ruthlessness, it was not a big deal to triple the price of fine grain that was worth 30 Tian Yuan. With the interest, it would be 120 Tian Yuan, which was already Big Boss Zhu’s conscience.
Li xiaonian’s money would definitely fall into boss Zhu’s hands. He was just a small fry, and he wanted to snatch boss Zhu’s money? He was simply courting death.
“Is it really not possible?” Li xiaonian’s face was full of disappointment.
brother Xiao, ” uncle Hu shook his head again. this is a small business. I can’t take it. After a pause, uncle Hu said awkwardly, ” since boss Zhu thinks so highly of you, you can go to him for help. With his generosity, he’ll definitely grant all your requests.
Li xiaonian helplessly put down the spear, nodded, and left.
Uncle Hu was unwilling, so li xiaonian could only continue looking for another stall. He wanted to use the same method to pawn his character in exchange for a chance to obtain the earth spear.
It was a pity that even though his reputation had been good all these years, no one was willing to give him credit.
Half a day later, li xiaonian’s mouth was dry. He took out his water bottle and took a few gulps.
“Do we ... Really have to go find boss Zhu?”
Li xiaonian’s brows were tightly knitted together. 15 Tian Yuan plus a piece of compressed grain seemed like a high price, but he was confident that he could afford it.
After all, he was li xiaonian, not Li Xiao le. With his superb marksmanship, he had nothing to fear.
If there was a chance, he would not mind ambushing brother Meng and his gang in the dark.
Robbing was much easier than digging through garbage to make money.
After asking the last stall owner that he was more familiar with, li xiaonian finally gave up.
Li xiaonian left the market silently without finding anything.
His exhausted body walked for almost a kilometer before he came to a small alley and reached the end.
“Da da.”
Li xiaonian knocked on the door.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Who’s there!”
A vigilant woman’s voice came from the door.
“It’s me, Li Xiao le,” Li xiaonian replied indifferently.
Creak ~
The door opened, revealing a woman with a vigilant face. The woman put a small pistol on her waist and smiled. “So it’s brother Xiao. Please come in, please come in.”
This woman was the village’s daughter-in-law. Li xiaonian had saved the village’s life before, so naturally, he had met the village’s daughter-in-law a few times.
Li xiaonian didn’t stand on ceremony and entered the living room.
Just like li xiaonian’s house, the living room was filled with all kinds of waste. In the small courtyard, there were piles of waste products that had been dismantled by the woman.
“Brother Xiao, drink some water.” The woman enthusiastically took a bowl of plain white ice cream and placed it in front of li xiaonian.
Li xiaonian took off his hat and coat. thank you. Where’s the manor? did you go out again? ”
“Yeah.” The woman stood next to li xiaonian, not knowing what to do. At the same time, she was secretly regretting letting li xiaonian into her house.
A man and a woman alone would only make the manor lose face if this matter was spread. It might even cause the manor to be unhappy.
Li xiaonian hesitated for a moment before saying,”sister-in-law, I’m sorry for suddenly disturbing you.” It’s been so long, how should I address sister-in-law?”
“I’m Mei Liu.” Mei Liu responded and asked worriedly, ” “Brother Xiao, why are you looking for the manor? Did something happen in the manor?”
sister-in-law, I want to talk to Zhuang Zi about some things. That’s all. When will Zhuang Zi be back? did he say anything? ”
Mei Liu heaved a sigh of relief. the manor didn’t say when he would be back. He went out yesterday and didn’t come back last night. However, he didn’t bring much food with him. He should be back today.
As a treasure hunter, spending the night outside was a very normal thing.
“Alright then, if you don’t mind, I’ll stay here ...” Li xiaonian nodded.
Before li xiaonian could finish his sentence, a click was heard.
The door to the courtyard was pushed open.
He turned around.
The person who had appeared was Zhuang Zi. He was a thin young man with feminine eyes. He was different from before. He was holding onto his bleeding arm, his face was pale, and his lips were dry.
“Old Zhuang,”
Mei Liu cried out in alarm and hurriedly went forward to support her husband.
Zhuang Zi sat on the chair and said weakly, ” “Give me some water first ...”
Mei Liu fed the manor with the water in front of li xiaonian. ????????????????????a????. ????૦????
Gulp ... Gulp ...
After drinking a bowl of water, Zhuang Zi heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at li xiaonian warily and held the gun by his waist with one hand. He then called out,”May I know why Brother Xiao has come here?”
“I’ll talk about it later.” Li xiaonian turned to Mei Liu and said, ” sister-in-law, boil a pot of hot water and find me a sharp knife. If I don’t remove the bullet in time, it will be very troublesome if I get infected. I need medical nanoworms to cure it.
“Oh, oh.”
Mei Liu responded and did as he was told.
While his wife was busy, Zhuang Zi still looked at li xiaonian warily. He hesitated for a moment and said, ” “Brother Xiao, if you’re here to borrow money, then I’m very sorry, but I don’t have any money. It’s not easy for me to support myself and my wife with the money I’ve earned. I hope brother Xiao can understand. You’ve saved my life before, and I’ve also saved yours, so we don’t owe each other anything.”
Li xiaonian shook his head. I’m here because I have no other choice. But don’t worry, I’m not here to borrow money. I’m here to borrow a gun. I need a gun.
I’m sorry, ” Zhuang Zi shook his head without hesitation. I don’t have any extra guns.
