The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 314 Items in the Black Market
Liang Yuan remained calm and walked towards the building with Tu Long and others.

He became interested in the so-called black market in Sunshine New City.

Humans have a strong ability to survive.

Even if a great flood submerges the earth, they will still find various ways to survive.

Compared to other species, humans have a strong advantage.

That is wisdom.

Wisdom gives humans unparalleled creativity.

Even in the midst of this flood, they were able to create something eye-catching.

A group of people walked along the plastic platform and into the stairs of the building.

There were also several sturdy men standing on the stairwell.

Looking at their energy and momentum, Liang Yuan keenly realized that these people should be people with special abilities.

He was slightly surprised that this small black market could have several people with special abilities guarding it. It seemed that there were quite a few people with special abilities in these 87 buildings.

Several psychics who were guarding the gate looked Liang Yuan and his companions up and down, and seemed to realize that they were strangers, so they couldn't help but narrow their eyes.

One of them suddenly flicked his cigarette butt, which drew an arc and immediately landed in front of the leader Liang Yuan.

Sparks from the cigarette flew, Liang Yuan paused, and turned to look at the other person calmly.

The man who threw the cigarette butt was in his thirties, with a shaved head and a beard sticking to his lips, and he looked a bit fierce.

He chuckled and asked, "New here? I haven't seen you guys before."

Liang Yuan looked calm and nodded, "Yes, I'm new here."

"Which building?" the middle-aged man examined it and asked lightly.

Liang Yuan frowned and said, "The man outside has already asked."

"Bah, I'm fucking asking you." The middle-aged man immediately spat and stared at Liang Yuan with a sneer.

Liang Yuan narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of sneer, and his mental power was slightly released from his eyes.

In an instant, an invisible pressure enveloped him.

The middle-aged man and the people behind him suddenly changed their expressions and subconsciously took out daggers and other weapons.

Tu Long immediately said in a deep voice: "Why, you are no longer doing black market business, but turning into a black shop?"

The eyes of the middle-aged man and the people behind him suddenly flickered.

Then I saw a few outsiders walking in.

They calmly put away their weapons, and the middle-aged man laughed and said, "Just asking, go in."

He waved his hand, as if the tension just now was all an illusion.

Liang Yuan ignored these minions and went straight upstairs.

Wang Xiaoya, Chang Yan and Ni Qi followed, while Tu Long walked at the end.

"Brother Wen, these new faces are pretty cool." A younger brother whispered to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man sneered and said, "Go outside and ask Wu Laosan to see which building these people are from and what goods they are carrying."

"Got it, Brother Wen."

The younger brother hurried out, and soon came back and said quickly: "Brother Wen, I asked Wu Laosan, these people are from Building 21, and they brought instant noodles."

As he spoke, he took out instant noodles from his arms and said, "This is the commission from Wu Laosan. These newcomers don't know the rules and don't know that the commission is given by the upstairs."

Brother Wen took the instant noodles and asked in confusion, "Building 21? I remember the boss of Building 21 was called Brother Yu. He's a master of mental power. Was that Brother Yu? He doesn't look like him."

The other people also shook their heads. There were quite a few people coming and going in Sunshine New City. They could probably remember the names of the bosses in other buildings, but they couldn't quite match their appearances.

After all, those people don’t come here every day.

The younger brother said, "Maybe there was a civil strife in Building 21, and that Brother Yu is dead."

"This kid is quite powerful. I'm afraid he killed the boss of Building 21, so he came here for the first time."

While several people were discussing these things, Liang Yuan and others had already arrived on the second floor.

When we say it is the second floor, that is relative to the flood level. In fact, this is already the twenty-third floor.

When they got upstairs, someone stopped Liang Yuan and his companions.

"What do you want to trade?"

The person who stopped Liang Yuan was a young man, about thirty years old, wearing a baseball cap.

Liang Yuan asked: "Can we go shopping?"

The young man in the baseball cap sneered, "Of course you can, but you have to collect your commission first."

Tu Long couldn't help but ask, "Commission? Didn't they just collect it when the boat stopped downstairs?"

When the young man in the baseball cap heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

It seems that these are a few new idiots who have been deceived by Wu Laosan downstairs.

He said calmly: "I don't care about what's going on downstairs. If I want to trade here, I have to give you a commission first."

Tu Long was filled with anger. These people were really evil.

Liang Yuan said calmly: "How is the commission calculated?"

"I'll take 20% of the goods you brought."

Liang Yuan took out instant noodles and said, "There are only four packs left."

"Then give me a pack." The young man in the baseball cap said lightly.

Liang Yuan didn't waste time talking to him and threw a bag to him.

This surprised the young man in the baseball cap. He thought these people would cause trouble, but they were surprisingly quite well behaved.

He immediately made way and said, "This floor is for human trafficking. In each room, there are beauties of various types. You can play with them first, and then trade if you think they are suitable."

"If you want younger ones, go upstairs. They have both men and women."

"On the third floor, there are food and drinks. On the fourth floor and above, there are materials for mutant creatures, weapons, and the like."

After Baseball Cap finished speaking, he sat back in his chair and ignored Liang Yuan and the others.

Liang Yuan's heart was slightly moved. He had already expected the population and food trade.

But I didn't expect that above the fourth floor, there are transactions of mutant materials and weapons.

He asked, "How do women trade?"

"It depends on the quality. The younger you are, the more expensive it is. For those in their twenties or thirties, you can take one of these instant noodles away."

"For those over sixteen and under twenty, the price is twice as high."

"For those under sixteen, it's four times higher."

"What about weapons materials and the like?" Liang Yuan asked.

The young man in the baseball cap said, "Then go ask upstairs. Usually they can only barter."

Liang Yuan immediately said: "Let's go check out the mutant materials and weapons first."

He took Tu Long and the other two and went straight upstairs.

Wang Xiaoya gritted her teeth and said, "They are indeed engaging in human trafficking."

Chang Yan also felt humiliated and said, "In their eyes, an adult woman only wants four packs of instant noodles! What a bunch of beasts!"

Ni Qi couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Liang, what should we do? Should we just let these beasts go?"

Liang Yuan didn't say anything. Tu Long patted Ni Qi on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, let's understand the situation here and settle the accounts slowly later."

Ni Qi took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and followed Liang Yuan upstairs.

He didn't stop on the second or third floor and went straight to the fourth floor.

There are people with special abilities guarding between the floors, and there should also be people with special abilities in each room.

When Liang Yuan arrived on the fourth floor, he saw many people coming in and out of different rooms.

The guard was a big bearded man. He glanced at Liang Yuan and the others calmly without saying anything.

It seems that the young man in the baseball cap downstairs is the one who actually collects the commission. The one upstairs doesn't collect it.

When Liang Yuan and his companions arrived at the first room, they saw four or five big men sitting or standing in the room.

There were some bone spears, bone whips, and bone shields made of huge fish bones in the house.

As for bone knives, bone swords, and bone hammers, there are also quite a few of them. They all look very unique and have a primitive feel.

A sturdy man at the door said, "These bones are all from mutant creatures. They are hard and have been polished. They are very sharp and tough. After being equipped with a special power stone, they can also trigger special effects."

"But we only sell weapons here. You need to go next door to buy the power stones separately."

After he finished his introduction, he said no more.

When Liang Yuan heard this, his heart moved slightly. Could weapons made of mutant beast bones and equipped with supernatural stones trigger special effects?
I haven't tried this kind of design or conception myself.

He walked into the house and picked up a bone sword.

This should be made from the rib spurs of some mutant fish.

The tip of the sword was extremely sharp, both sides were polished to a smooth and sharp edge, and coated with non-lethal oil.

Liang Yuan smelled it and it seemed to be fish oil.

He looked at the bone sword carefully and suddenly noticed that there were special patterns on it.

This pattern looks a bit like it was artificially engraved later.

The texture extends all the way to the handle.

There is an openable groove at the sword rest where the handle is located, into which items can be embedded.

Liang Yuan immediately understood that this should be the place where the supernatural stone was embedded.

He stroked the bone sword, looking at the patterns on it, with surprise in his eyes.

"It's rune technology."

"But it's unlike any rune disclosed by the military."

Liang Yuan became interested, so he put down the bone sword and looked at a bone hammer nearby.

The hammer head of this bone hammer is made of the head of a mutant fish, and the handle is made of fish bones.

There are two grooves at the fisheye position of the hammer head, which is the position for inlaying the supernatural stone.

The runes are engraved on the surface of the hammer head and are also connected to the grooves.

Liang Yuan looked at the runes on it, and they were exactly the same as the runes on the bone sword.

He put down the bone hammer and looked at a bone whip.

This is a bone whip made from the spine of some mutant creature.

Because of the special structure of the spine, it can be folded and bent, so it can form weapons such as bone whips.

The runes on the bone whip are embedded in the spine, but because the bone whip is not a whole piece, the maker has come up with an ingenious idea and connected the joints of the bone whip with an elastic rope like a tendon.

The connection between some runes is maintained by this large tendon.

Liang Yuan secretly admired the exquisite craftsmanship of the bone whip.

There is no doubt that there are talented people in this black market who are not only proficient in rune technology, but also very creative and thoughtful.

Putting down the bone whip, he looked at the bone shield next to him.

There are two specifications of bone shields. One is a shield surface woven with fine bone spurs.

The other type uses a whole bone as the shield.

Needless to say, the shield woven from bone spurs is similar to a shield woven from vines.

The shield made of a whole piece of bone not only looks like a protective gear, but both sides of the shield are polished smooth, showing a sharp luster.

This shield is also oval in shape, with sharpened ends. It looks a bit like it is made of the huge white bone in the squid's body.

Inside the shield, there are grooves for placing power stones, and the handle is made by hollowing out other bones and screwing them on, so it looks quite hard.

Liang Yuan took a quick look at these bone weapons and felt quite enlightened.

The maker of these weapons is definitely a very thoughtful and creative person.

I just don’t know if the other party is the boss here, Lai Zhiyong.

"Hey, are you going to buy it or not? If not, don't touch it."

A big man in the room became impatient and started to scold coldly.

Liang Yuan looked up, picked up a small bone knife, and asked, "How do I trade this bone knife?"

"What do you have to trade?" When the big man saw that Liang Yuan wanted to buy a bone knife, he immediately became interested and asked.

The other big men also looked over.

Liang Yuan took out four packs of instant noodles and asked, "Are these okay?"

"Instant noodles?"

"Or the White Elephant?"

"Four packs, too little."

Several people gathered together and immediately shook their heads when they saw the four packets of instant noodles.

Liang Yuan reached out and took out another bag of chocolates from his arms, the kind that looked like gold coins in bulk in supermarkets.

There are probably about 10 to 20 pieces in a pack.

"And what about these?"

When the big men saw these chocolates, their eyes widened.

God knows how long it has been since they last had this kind of food.

Before the Flood, few adults would have eaten this stuff.

After all, this thing has too much sugar content, and adults can easily gain weight or even develop diabetes if they eat too much.

Kids really like to eat this.

However, after the flood, people were short of food and clothing, and high-calorie foods such as chocolate have become very popular snacks.

One of the big men quickly grabbed the chocolate and said, "It's barely enough."

He excitedly threw the dagger to Liang Yuan, took back the instant noodles and chocolate, then looked at Liang Yuan and asked expectantly, "Do you have any more?"

Liang Yuan smiled: "There are still some, but I won't buy any weapons. I want to go check out other rooms."

The big man said quickly, "No, there are so many of you. One weapon is not enough. Look, we have bone whips, bone swords, bone knives, and shields. These shields are all top-notch. If you add earth-attributed supernatural stones to the grooves, even a power-type supernatural person won't be able to do anything to you."

The big man began to excitedly sell products to Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan was unmoved and just asked: "I don't need these weapons for now, I want to see if there are any other good things."

"Yes, yes! Brother, the things in the other rooms are similar to what we have here. They are all weapons and some mutant beast bones, flesh and other materials."

"By the way, you bought this dagger, don't you need a power stone?"

"This power stone is a good thing, it's hard to find, everyone out there is fighting for it now."

Liang Yuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why, you have a supernatural stone here?"

"Hey, look at what you said, we are in business, so we must have it. Wait a minute, Lao Qi, take out the things quickly, this brother is a big customer."

He turned around and greeted a man in his forties.

Hearing this, the man stood up and walked over. He had been sitting in the corner without saying anything before, and Liang Yuan didn't even pay much attention to him.

As he stood up, Liang Yuan discovered that this man was nearly two meters tall and had very strong energy and blood.

Lao Qi came over, looked at Liang Yuan, and asked, "You want the power stone?"

Liang Yuan smiled: "I need to take a look at the goods first."

Lao Qi looked at Liang Yuan, then at Tu Long and others. He pondered for a moment before taking out a small cloth bag from the pocket of his coat.

There came a tinkling sound from the cloth bag, like the sound of glass hitting each other.

Liang Yuan looked at the cloth bag, only to see Lao Qi open it and pour out four or five glass-bead-like supernatural stones from it.
