Today, Tang Li disguised herself as a fierce man, with a scar drawn on her face.
However, since her voice couldn't be changed, she couldn't speak and had to pretend to be mute.
To this end, Tang Li had previously copied some A4 paper from the supermarket, printed some common words on it, and stored them in her space, ready to take them out for communication whenever needed.
Arriving at the black market, Tang Li, as before, used her keen hearing to constantly pay attention to the needs of others in the black market.
As soon as she encountered someone using universal coupons to buy scarce resources like food and coal, Tang Li would take them out of her space, call the person aside, and conduct the transaction.
However, today Tang Li had an additional business: collecting various unwanted items from others.
Of course, swill and feces had too strong an odor and were difficult to transport, so she wouldn't collect them for now.
She mainly collected old mobile phones, scrap computers, old newspapers, and waste paper boxes – discarded items that were already collected before the apocalypse.
These could be exchanged for the universal coupons Tang Li replicated, or directly for supplies.
Although Tang Li's appearance today was different from usual, her practice of producing various scarce resources still attracted the attention of the group that had tracked her last time.
As Tang Li walked out of the black market, those people appeared.
Other people entering and exiting the black market quickly dodged to the side when they saw this scene.
Tang Li was not surprised to see these people blocking her way.
She had long known that these people were tracking her and had guessed that they would not be able to hold back and would intercept her.
After all, wealth moves people's hearts. And what she held now was survival resources more important than wealth.
She might not have come to the black market today without the intention of finding these people.
"Brother, you can't escape this time, can you?"
"Perhaps, I shouldn't call you 'Brother,' should I call you Big Sister? Little Sister? Or Grandma?"
The man in the lead looked at the fierce man Tang Li had disguised herself as and asked.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Tang Li's large, fan-like hand, as disguised, slapped out.
*Slap!*
Before the man could react, Tang Li directly slapped him to the ground.
This was already the result of Tang Li controlling her strength.
"Brother! How dare you hit my brother? I'll fight you to the death!"
"Ah!"
"How dare you hit me? Ah!"
"Everyone, attack! Ah! Ah! Ah!"
"Ouch~"
Subsequently, a series of screams echoed in this secluded alley.
"Big Brother! Stop hitting!"
"Quick, stop! Don't hit anymore!"
"Big Brother! Grandfather! I beg you! Don't hit anymore!"
Before long, the group, who had been very arrogant, were all beaten to the ground by Tang Li, begging for mercy.
Seeing that they were all subdued, Tang Li finally stopped.
She walked up to the man in the lead and squatted down.
"Grandfather! We submit, stop hitting us, hurry up and leave!"
The man in the lead said through gritted teeth from the pain.
Tang Li did not leave. Instead, she took out a stack of papers from her backpack, actually from her space, and displayed them one by one to the man.
"Take... me... to... find... your boss?"
The man in the lead read the words on the paper, one word at a time.
After finishing, the man quickly shook his head and said, "We don't have a boss, I am our boss!"
Tang Li smiled upon hearing this.
This kid was quite loyal.
How could they, who frequented this vast black market, not know the boss behind the black market?
However, this smile, accentuated by Tang Li's scar makeup, appeared extremely ferocious.
Although terrified, the man gritted his teeth and refused to reveal their boss.
"Alright, little brother, don't make things difficult for them. Didn't you want to see me? I'm here."
Just as Tang Li was about to continue her interrogation, a deep voice came from behind her.
Tang Li turned her head and saw a thin, strong middle-aged man, walking over surrounded by a group of people.
This middle-aged man's hair was already half white, and he looked only in his fifties.
"Master Jiang, why are you here? Hurry up and leave, this person is very powerful!"
The man lying on the ground saw the middle-aged man and quickly shouted at him.
"Alright, stop shouting, it's humiliating!"
Master Jiang said dismissively, but he had his men help the people who had been beaten to the ground by Tang Li to leave.
Then he turned to Tang Li and asked:
"Little brother, you want to see me so badly, it's not just to beat me up, is it?"
"If you want to discuss something with me, why don't we move inside to talk?"
Tang Li heard this and did not object, nodding to signal Master Jiang to lead the way.
