Chapter 39

When the Hua siblings woke up, the dining table was already full of food. From Western breakfast to Eastern breakfast, Hua Bei handles it all. When they woke up and saw the colorful dishes on the table, their mood immediately lifted. After being seated, the five of them began to enjoy their sumptuous breakfast.

The breakfast was delicious, and the siblings finished it in no time. While washing the dirty dishes, Hua Nan said, “Today, we will resupply and then leave the base.”

Hearing his words, Hua Xi groaned. “Leaving? We just arrived yesterday.”

Hua Dong glanced at Hua Nan’s back and knew why he wanted to leave the base. “Just do what Ah Nan said. We have to leave today after resupply.”

Now that their elder brother had already made a decision, Hua Xi didn’t say much. Zhu Lin looked at the bored Hua Bei, and said, “Hua Bei, why don’t we prepare something to eat for the journey?”

After hearing her suggestion, the bored Hua Bei sat up straight and nodded. “Okay!”

So they split into two teams. Hua Dong, Hua Nan, and Hua Xi went to the market for supplies, while Hua Bei and Zhu Lin stayed at home and prepared some food for the journey. Before leaving the house, Zhu Lin called Hua Nan over.

“Do you want to buy something?” He asked.

She takes out a bag containing the zombie’s nucleus and hands it to him. “If you see some seeds in the market, please buy them back for me. No matter how much, please buy as much as you can with these crystal nuclei.”

He took the plastic bag and put it in his backpack. “Alright.”

Before leaving the apartment, he glanced at Zhu Lin who was busy in the kitchen. Seeds are important in the apocalypse. But there is no land to cultivate it now. In addition, the seeds are also mostly contaminated with the virus. Only high level wood type ability users could grow the seed into food.

Now that he knew she was a space power user, he was curious about why she was looking for seeds. After closing the door, he followed his brother and sister to the market. Coming down from the apartment building, the siblings walked for more than ten minutes before arriving at the base’s market area.

It is said to be a market, but it is actually a few streets with people selling things on the side of the road. Hua Dong sees a lot of stalls in the market. If they want to resupply quickly, they need to split up since they must leave the base by noon.

Looking at his younger siblings, he said, “Ah Nan, give us some crystal nuclei. We will split up.”

“Ok.”

Hua Nan took out the bag he used to hold the crystal nuclei and divided it into three. Handing the small purses to Hua Dong and Hua Xi one by one, he reminded them. “Be careful. Especially Xixi.”

“Um.”

With the nucleus in hand, they parted. Since Hua Dong was going to look for fuel and Hua Xi was looking for daily necessities and food, he decided to find Zhu Lin’s seeds. Walking to the street on the right, he scanned the stalls carefully. Not long after, he saw a handsome man wearing glasses sitting on a stool reading a book.

In front of him, there are various seeds. Hua Nan walked up to him calmly, and found that no one was paying attention to his booth. Standing in front of the simple booth, he looked at the seeds in plastic bags. Some seeds look like normal seeds, while others look weird.

Notice someone standing in front of his booth, the man with glasses raising his eyes. Pushing the glasses up slightly, he smiled and asked, “Do you want to buy some seed?”

Hua Nan squatted down, took some seeds and asked, “What kind of seeds are these?”

When the man answered him, he glanced at the seeds in his palm. “Lettuce seeds.”

“How high is the pollution rate?”

Hearing Hua Nan’s question, the man with glasses raised his eyebrows. There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said, “Twenty percent.”

Putting the seeds back into the bag, Hua Nan stood up. He counted the bags and said, “How much for all?”

The man puts down the book and leans back, arms folded. He observed Hua Nan for a while, and said, “Can I ask why you need so many seeds?”

Hua Nan frowned and stared at him. “Sell it or not?”

The man with glasses chuckled. “Well… it’s my bait, and I can’t sell you all of it. But, if you answer my question, I’ll sell some to you.”

After thinking about it, Hua Nan nodded. “Ask.”

He stroked his chin and continued to observe Hua Nan for a long time. Seeing the impatience in Hua Nan’s eyes, he finally spoke. “I’m looking for a woman. I guess you might know her somehow.”

Hua Nan looked at him suspiciously as he asked warily, “Who is she?”

When the man saw Hua Nan’s vigilance, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes under the glasses. He opened his mouth slowly, with a confident smile on his lips. “Zhu Lin.”

Hearing his answer, Hua Nan’s eyes turned cold. He didn’t say anything, just turned around and left. The man with glasses looked at his back and said, “Tell her, Zou Wuhan is waiting for her here. Ye Yu is very worried about her.”

Hua Nan stopped and looked back at Zou Wuhan, who had already picked up the book and continued to read leisurely. There was a dangerous aura emanating from this man, which could be sensed from a distance. But seeing him so calm, Hua Nan thought, maybe he really knows Zhu Lin.

He stood there for a while observing Zou Wuhan, then walked back to the apartment. With Zhu Lin’s strength, it is not dangerous for her to meet this man. Before he knew it, he already thought that Zhu Lin was the strongest.

Opening the door of the apartment, a tantalizing fragrance emanated from the inside. After closing the door, he went to the kitchen. Before he could call for Zhu Lin, Hua Bei came out of the kitchen and bumped into him on the way.

“Second brother? Why did you come back so soon? What did you buy?”

Looking at the big box in his hand, he stepped aside to let him pass, and then went to the kitchen to find Zhu Lin. Seeing her busy chopping vegetables with a sword, Hua Nan didn’t know how to react.

Sensing that someone was looking at her, she turned her head. “Hua Nan?”

When he recovered, he coughed and said, “Zhu Lin, come with me. Someone wants to see you.”

“Who?”

“He said his name is Zou Wuhan, and a man named Ye Yu is very worried about you. Do you know them?”

Hearing two familiar names from his lips, her hand paused. After cleaning up the sword, she put it back. The sword spirit has already passed out because of too much grief.

“Take me there.”

Hua Nan was not too surprised that she really knew them. “Okay.”

Coming out of the kitchen, she said, “Hua Bei, I’m going out for a while. I’ve already cut the vegetables. You can use them.”

“Okay.” Hua Bei replied as he packed the food.

Leaving the busy Hua Bei behind, the two headed to the base’s market.
