Chapter 5 Gift Exchange
"I?"
When Jingtian heard Wang Meng asking about his strength, he suddenly felt depressed.
I thought to myself, this guy is really talking about things that are not related to the topic.
Is there an ancient warrior above level 6?
If I had level 1 ability, I would be so fucking happy!
"Didn't I say before that I'm just an ordinary person!"
Being depressed, Jingtian's expression naturally didn't look very good.
Jingtian was really just depressed. He was really envious of these people with special abilities.
However, in the eyes of the brother and sister, his expression and tone showed obvious dissatisfaction with Wang Meng's questioning about his strength!
This made Wang Meng tremble with fear and made Wang Lian glare at him fiercely.
"Um... Mr. Jing, it's getting late, and we still have tasks to complete, so we won't bother you any further. Thank you again for saving our lives and for your hospitality. We..."
"Are you leaving now?"
When Jingtian saw Wang Lian proposed to leave, he felt somewhat reluctant. Since he couldn't go out, it would be nice to have someone to chat with him.
"Yes, Mr. Jing, our mission is very important."
Wang Lian said quickly.
She felt that her brother had made Jingtian unhappy, so it would be better for him to leave as soon as possible.
"Important mission? Can you tell me about it?"
Jingtian originally thought that the two's mission was to investigate the material situation in Yun City, but now it seems that is not the case.
"There is nothing to hide. It's our leader's daughter, Tong Yue. She is only thirteen years old this year. She should be in Yun City..."
"Wait a moment!"
Jingtian interrupted Wang Lian halfway through her words and said, "You said a thirteen-year-old girl was in Yunshi City? Let's not talk about whether she is still alive. Is your leader out of his mind? It's been a year before he thought of looking for her?"
"Our leader didn't know about it at first, but a while ago a survivor told him that he saw Tong Yue and a group of people hiding in an underground warehouse in Yun City..."
Wang Meng interjected, as if he didn't want Jingtian to misunderstand their leader.
"That's my misunderstanding, but why doesn't your leader come in person? With his level 5 ability, wouldn't it be safer if he came?"
Jingtian began to feel doubtful.
"The leader naturally wants to come in person, but now there is a serious fight between the two forces in our Demon City stronghold. The leader must practice at all times while controlling the overall situation, so that he can win the battle with the leader of the other stronghold and protect our stronghold from being annexed."
Wang Lian explained it in more detail.
When Jingtian heard Wang Lian's explanation, although he understood it, he became angry and said:
"We are all survivors, why don't we support each other to survive? Why do we have to fight among ourselves? You are just bored!"
The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Wang Lian said: "Mr. Jing, you have everything you need, so you don't care. The number of people in the base is increasing every day, but the supplies are getting less and less. So for the sake of supplies and living space, some battles are inevitable. Whoever is stronger can get more supplies..."
"This... is all caused by the damn apocalypse. If this continues, I don't know how long we humans can hold on!"
Jingtian said with some concern.
"There should be a solution soon. I heard that a mysterious stronghold force is researching a new type of food that can be consumed in large quantities. If it succeeds, the food problem for mankind will be solved in the future." Wang Lian said.
"Is there such a thing? That's great. As long as we don't starve to death, maybe the apocalypse will end someday!"
When Jingtian heard Wang Lian's words, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said happily.
Although he had food supplied by the villa system, it was only enough for three or two people at most, so he had no way to help everyone.
Wang Lian and Wang Meng wanted to ask Jingtian several times about the vegetables outside and the water and electricity problems in the villa.
But after opening his mouth several times, he still didn't dare to ask.
Afterwards, the brother and sister strongly demanded to leave, saying that they were in a hurry to search for the leader's daughter.
Jingtian didn't want to force it too much, so he said, "Since you insist on going, I'll give you a map. Follow the route and marks I give you, and you'll have a better chance of finding it."
The brother and sister naturally expressed their gratitude again excitedly.
After some preparation, Jingtian gave them a map with the route marked on it, and packed a bag with the three buns left over from breakfast and two bottles of water.
"That's all I can do. I hope you can stay alive. If you are in danger, try to run back to me."
Jingtian felt that the two of them would definitely be in danger if they went there, after all, neither of them was even at level 3.
Wang Liancai is a wind-type mutant in the late stage of level 1, which means he has the advantage of speed.
Wang Meng is slightly stronger, but he is only a level 2 earth-type mutant.
Not to mention the level 4 mutant zombies, even if it was the level 3 zombies that were chasing them before, he would have to run for his life.
As for whether they can escape, it depends on whether God gives them luck.
"Bun, buns..."
Wang Meng didn't even listen to Jingtian's words. He stared at the buns in the bag with red eyes.
The plump white bun has completely captured his heart.
Fortunately, Wang Lian had better self-control. She listened to Jingtian's words and thanked Jingtian for the nth time.
The two should have left.
However, after taking just two steps, Wang Lian seemed to feel that it was not a good idea to leave like this.
After hesitating for a moment, he took out a small cloth bag from his pocket.
He opened the small cloth bag and handed it to Jingtian.
"Mr. Jing, although you may not appreciate it, this is the most valuable thing we have. I'll give it to you as a token of my gratitude."
"Why are you so polite... ahem."
Halfway through his words, Jingtian suddenly opened his eyes wide after seeing clearly the object in Wang Lian's hand.
