Night Falls: I Kill Through the Wasteland with My Entries

Chapter 19 Market
Su Ding and Zhang Kun heard the noise and looked over at the same time.

"We're in trouble." Zhang Kun's expression changed slightly, and he couldn't help but pull Su Ding aside and said, "Let's get out of here."

"What's wrong?" Su Ding frowned.

"This company dog might cause trouble. If we stay here, we will most likely be affected." Zhang Kun said with a grim expression.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ding saw the officer take out a pistol and put the barrel next to Monkey's ear.

"I see you've been staring at my gun for a long time, so I'll let you hear a sound." The officer smiled jokingly and then pulled the trigger.

"Bang!" A loud roar sounded in the monkey's ears, and he felt a buzzing in his head.

He was trembling and his lips were pale.

The smell of gunpowder lingered in his nose.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..." Suddenly, the pistol next to his ear was pulled again.

The buzzing sound filled his mind, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground.

"Hahahaha..." The company's soldiers burst into laughter when they saw his embarrassing look.

The people waiting for water nearby were also infected by this and couldn't help laughing out loud at the monkey's funny appearance.

"Let's go." Zhang Kun pulled Su Ding and left.

Su Ding glanced at the company officers and walked away in silence.

This was not Earth, nor was it his safe country.

Here, don't even mention the company officers playing with monkeys like this.

Even if the other party kills the monkey, he will not be punished.

Scavengers don't even have a place of origin, they are just like weeds in the mountains, anyone can step on them.

Su Ding felt a little more urgent in his heart.

He must go to the wilderness tomorrow and get a talisman first.

At that time, it will be fine to either drive away the Dog-Headed Lord or use the talisman stone to get a spot to go into the city.

"Don't worry. These officers will not kill the scavengers in the camp unless it is necessary. Monkey will be injured at most, it's okay." Seeing that Su Ding didn't say anything, Zhang Kun thought that the other party was worried about Monkey, so he couldn't help but say.

Hearing the other party's words, Su Ding was stunned and felt a little ashamed.

Just now, when he saw the monkey like that, he was not worried at all, but was thinking about his own affairs.

But this is normal.

He and the monkey had only known each other for a short time, so their friendship was not very close.

What's more, this world is inherently cruel, so there is no time to consider others in everything.

It was Xu Hu and Li Jing'an who saved his life, otherwise he would not want to get involved in their affairs.

"I hope he is okay." Su Ding prayed in his heart and left silently.

Then, the two of them walked towards the market.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the market.

The market is a bunch of low houses and stalls made of wood.

At the entrance of the market, there was a somewhat dilapidated off-road vehicle parked, and several company soldiers were playing cards.

Su Ding stared at the off-road vehicle.

This was the first time he saw a moving car in this world.

He had seen cars in the wilderness before, but most of them had been stripped down to empty shells and were so badly rusted that they would break apart at the slightest touch.

"I wonder how much technology is left in this world." Su Ding took a look and then looked away.

Here, the people you should never mess with are the armies of these companies.

"You go in and buy some things first. I'll go find the scavengers and take care of the issue at the fence." Zhang Kun patted Su Ding's shoulder, "Is that okay?"

"No." Su Ding shook his head.

"After you go in, be careful and try to walk in crowded places instead of alleys. Also, don't trust others easily. Not all the people here are good people." Zhang Kun was still a little worried and gave a warning.

"Yeah, I know." Zhang Kun nodded, then turned and left.

Looking at the direction the other party left, Su Ding took a deep breath and walked into the market.

His predecessor had been to the market before, but for him, it was like a layer between water and oil.

Now that he came here in person, he could truly feel the atmosphere of the market.

This market is similar to the one he visited in his previous life, but here, all the things sold are second-hand goods.

Whether it is clothes or various utensils.

There were also some rough food for sale, emitting an enticing aroma in the air.

"How much is this backpack?" Su Ding walked to a stall and asked the stall owner.

"Half a pound of black crystal." The stall owner took a look at Su Ding's young face and said with a smile.

Su Ding glanced at the other person, turned around and left.

This price is too expensive.

In the market, black crystal and grain are the most expensive things.

The high price of black crystal is closely related to food.

As for other things, they can all be used as substitutes.

"Hey, hey, hey, little brother, can we negotiate the price? Don't leave so soon." Behind him, the stall owner hurriedly chased after him.

Su Dingze was too lazy to deal with the other party, so he asked the price of a backpack at another stall.

"Two taels of black crystal. There's no lower price here than mine." The stall owner just noticed Su Ding's attitude and said hurriedly.

Su Ding picked up the backpack and examined it carefully, confirming that every part was sturdy and the stitching was dense, so it was a good backpack.

But he still didn't buy the backpack.

He asked about the price at other bag stalls and confirmed that the one he bought was the lowest before buying the backpack.

After putting the things into the backpack, Su Ding began to look at other things.

"How much is this bone armor?" Su Ding walked to a stall, touched a vest made of fine bones, and asked the stall owner.

This bone armor was woven into several layers, yet it was very light to hold, which immediately attracted his attention.

Armor is a good thing in this era.

Su Ding gently pressed the thin bone with his fingers and found that it was very tough.

"You want it? Five kilograms of black crystal." The stall owner glanced at Su Ding and said with a chuckle, "This bone armor is made of the fine bones of the Bone Demon King. It's no exaggeration to say that this thing is stronger than iron armor."

"Bone Demon King?" Su Ding stroked the thin bones with his fingers.

There is no doubt that this is a bone, but there is no bone marrow in it, and it feels very round.

Perhaps, it might really have been taken from the Bone Demon King.

"How could this be from the Bone Demon King? Can you really kill the Bone Demon King?" Su Ding shook his head and put the bone armor down. "And you saying it's stronger than iron armor is nonsense. The bones are connected by cotton thread. Bones can't be cut, but cotton thread can break easily.

This thing is not worth five kilograms of black crystal."

After saying this, he turned around and made to leave.

“Hey, brother.” Seeing his expression, the stall owner grabbed him and said helplessly, “This thing is really from the Bone Demon King. I will die if I deceive you.

When I was scavenging, I happened to see the corpse of the Bone Demon King, so I brought it here. If you don't believe me, I can take you to see the corpse of the Bone Demon King."

"Forget it." Su Ding shook his head. "Whether this thing is the corpse of the Bone Demon King or not, it's too expensive."

He is not a fool, so why would he follow the other person?

It is possible that the other party will kill him by then.

After saying this, he continued to pretend to leave.

"Brother, brother!" The stall owner quickly grabbed Su Ding's arm and said in embarrassment: "Why don't you name a price?"

Su Ding hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly: "Half a pound of black crystal."
