On the other side.
After settling a group of people, Lin Zichen took out a piece of bread and a bottle of water from his bag and handed them to the boy who had just spoken. He said, "Haorong, take these to that little girl! In this situation, everyone is having a hard time."
The boy called Haorong took the bread and water, hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards Ming Li.
The house had two floors. Lin Zichen's team was on the first floor, and Ming Li was on the second.
As soon as Haorong went upstairs, he, who always had sharp eyes, saw a red pig gnawing on half a chicken leg.
Haorong: ...swallowed his saliva. His gaze uncertainly looked towards the system. Is this a pig?
Haorong rubbed his eyes and looked towards the system again.
Holy cow! It really is a pig!
Although it was small and looked a bit strange, it was indeed a pig! A live pig! It looks like we can have an extra meal tonight!
Haorong, with an excited heart, walked towards Ming Li, stuffed the bread and water into her arms, and pointed at the system gnawing on the chicken leg, saying, "Woman, I want this pig. Name your price!"
The system, which was gnawing on the chicken leg, froze. It looked at Haorong incredulously. The half chicken leg held between its trotters fell to the ground with a *pat*!
System: ...It's been targeted?!
Holy cow! No! It hasn't taken a bath in two months! It's very smelly! Not delicious at all! And it's an old pig of hundreds of years, its meat is tough!
The system furtively glanced at Haorong and was horrified to find that the boy's eyes were glowing green as he looked at it...
System: ...This look will be healed over a lifetime...
Upon hearing this, Ming Li glanced at the boy standing in front of her, twitched the corner of her mouth, and said indifferently and decisively, "No trade!"
*Phew!* The system let out a sigh of relief upon hearing Ming Li's words and started to feel sorry for the chicken leg that had fallen on the ground.
Haorong blurted out three words without thinking: "Why?"
Ming Li glanced indifferently at Haorong, picked up an apple, and continued to gnaw on it. "I don't lack anything. What do you have to trade with me?"
The system, which was feeling sorry for the chicken leg: ...This sentence feels a bit strange...
Haorong: ...These words leave me speechless.
(ー_ー)!!
Suddenly, Haorong frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Are you an ability user too?!"
Ming Li raised her eyebrows and said, "Isn't that obvious? Abilities are something you can use to show off... hehe..."
Don't ask, just assume the boss can do anything...
Haorong thought about it. That's right, it's the apocalypse now. It's so dangerous outside. If you weren't an ability user, who would dare to wander around alone?
Thinking of this, Haorong asked, "Do you have a team? Or did you get separated from your team?"
Ming Li: "No. Isn't being alone more satisfying? Why would I want some dead weight?"
Haorong suddenly smiled brilliantly. "That's great! Why don't you join our team? Let me tell you, our leader is amazing! He's a lightning ability user and has already reached the third tier!"
Abilities are divided into five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Besides these, there are some rare abilities, such as self-healing, lightning, wind, precognition, and so on.
Abilities are also divided into ten tiers, from one to ten. The higher the tier, the harder it is to ascend, but the stronger one becomes.
The primary method to improve abilities is by absorbing the crystal cores from the brains of zombies.
Ming Li raised her eyebrows and looked at Haorong doubtfully. "Is the third tier very powerful?"
Haorong didn't understand the meaning in Ming Li's eyes and continued to look at her with anticipation.
