In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.
Chapter 93 Coveting
The half-piece of gold here is naturally a small gold bar weighing 500 grams that I got from Bai Yichun.
She couldn't bear to touch the 1000-gram gold bar she stole from the Beishan villa.
Xue Li liked the modified bracelet very much and had no objection to Hong Tang's suggestion.
He was puzzled, though. In this apocalyptic world, survival supplies were the most urgent need, yet someone would be interested in gold. And this person was his captain, the one he would dedicate the rest of his life to.
Okay, from now on, whenever we come across gold, no, not just gold, but also silver, jewelry, and the like, we'll save it for her.
It seems that even in the apocalypse, girls' inherent love for these things will not change.
Hongtang: "!!!" I really thank you, you've really touched my heart.
Without saying another word, Xue Li got into the driver's seat and drove towards the first base.
Because of the short distance, they quickly arrived at Base One. After passing through several layers of checks, the two received their access passes and then swiped their base cards again at the service hall. They were now official members of Base One.
The management system here is basically the same as that of the Second Base, but it is stricter.
For example, ability detection. The Second Base can only detect whether a person has an ability, but here it can detect what kind of ability you have and what level it is.
These will all be recorded in the base card.
However, the instrument can only detect common superpowers.
For example, elemental abilities such as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. As for enhanced and special abilities, the detection equipment will only display a prompt.
However, due to Hongtang's overwhelmingly powerful mental abilities, she was only detected as having a level one metal-type ability. Xue Li, on the other hand, possessed two special types of abilities, so he chose to reveal his level two mental abilities.
To enter the first base, ordinary people need to pay 5 jin of grain, half the price of the second base. Superhumans can enter for free, but free food and lodging are not provided.
Hongtang and the others had already decided to live in the RV, so after exchanging supplies for 100 points at the service hall, they directly paid for a month's parking fee.
The first base has prepared a campervan site for survivors who drive campervans, which costs 30 points per month.
The two drove to the RV park, where more than ten RVs were already parked, and a group of people were setting up tents.
With temperatures dropping to tens of degrees below zero outside, I don't know if I'll be able to sleep in a tent.
Upon seeing the arrival of a new RV, people from the other vehicles came out in twos and threes to watch the spectacle, some whispering amongst themselves.
Xue Li found a relatively spacious and quiet corner and parked the car.
As soon as he got out of the car, he was stopped by a woman who was striking a seductive pose.
"Hey, handsome, are you new here? Why did you park here? It's such a remote spot. Why don't you come over to our place? We have plenty of room." The woman spoke in a coquettish voice, glancing into the RV as she spoke, and casually pointing to the tents in the distance.
Unfortunately, Xue Li quickly closed the driver's side door, and the few windows were covered with privacy film, so you couldn't see anything from the outside.
"No need." Xue Li forced out the two words, puzzled. Had this woman burned her tongue? Why was she speaking so incoherently?
At that moment, the RV door opened, releasing a burst of warmth and fragrance, accompanied by a clear female voice:
"Get in the car, let's eat."
It was already past 9 p.m., and the two of them hadn't had dinner yet. Hongtang was starving and was just waiting to get there so they could have a good meal.
I'm dining with Xue Li today, so we should have a nice meal to celebrate. But I can't cook, and it wouldn't be good to ask Xue Li to do it.
After thinking it over, she decided that hot pot was the most convenient option, since she had everything she needed in her own space. So, as soon as she stepped out of the service area, she started preparing. The broth in the divided pot was already bubbling, perfect for cooking the meat slices.
"Coming," Xue Li replied, quickly got into the car, and closed the door.
The hot pot smelled so tempting; he was starving. If it weren't for this annoying woman blocking his way, he would have already eaten the meat.
Seeing Xue Li get into the car and close the door, the girl with the coquettish voice anxiously called out from outside, "Handsome guy, don't go!" I haven't had dinner yet, I'm so hungry, "You guys are eating hot pot, right? Can I have a bite? Even a sip of soup would be fine."
Although the car door was closed, the fragrance that wafted out the moment it opened still attracted the attention of people nearby. Especially since the woman with the sweet voice was still shouting and yelling outside the RV.
Seeing that the people inside the car were ignoring her, she pounded on the car door a few more times in frustration.
Several sleazy men were discussing something in a corner.
"The car that just arrived looks very new, and the man is dressed cleanly and respectably. It seems like he has a lot of supplies."
"These days, people who can afford to drive cars, especially RVs, are generally not short of supplies. How about we go big tonight, guys?"
"I only heard a man's voice and a woman's voice. I don't know if there are any others inside, or how easy they are to deal with."
"Judging by the size of this RV, it can only hold four or five people at most. We have six of us. How about we invite Lao Lai and his gang along?" the speaker suggested, pointing to the woman with the affected voice banging on the RV door.
“I think it’s a good idea. Although Lao Lai and his gang have superpowers, we have more people. The RV will be ours, and we’ll split the supplies 50/50.”
"Speaking of which, that was the smell of hot pot coming out of the car just now, wasn't it? I didn't smell it wrong, did I? Oh my, I haven't had a proper meal in months. Look at them, their lives are no different from before the apocalypse."
"Those evil capitalists, all they know is how to exploit us, the poor, for our blood and sweat."
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. If someone hears this and it leaks out, hurry up and go talk to that deadbeat."
......
Inside the RV, steam rose from the small dining table, filling the air with a delicious aroma.
A large table was covered with mutton, beef, pork belly, tripe, honeycomb tripe, pork throat, pig brain, duck blood, chicken feet, chicken wings, and other meats, with several large stacks of meat piled up.
Fresh cabbage, spinach, potatoes, radishes, winter melon, enoki mushrooms, tofu, and dried bean curd sticks filled the two carts.
There were also plenty of lively shrimp, crabs, oysters, abalone, and scallops in the glass basins.
Wait, what did he see?
Those bright red, individual fruits were actually strawberries! There were also cherries, grapes, apples, pears, watermelons, oranges, and other fruits, filling a whole plate!
Before the apocalypse, such a lavish hot pot meal would have been considered luxurious, let alone in this world of ice and snow and scarcity of resources.
Xue Li was once again deeply shocked.
This girl is really something. It seems she was well-prepared and had stockpiled quite a lot. No wonder she said she could provide herself with enough supplies to survive.
However, thinking about how I had previously stolen barbecue and instant noodles from her house, I felt inexplicably guilty.
I don't know if she knows or not.
"Come on, this meal is to celebrate our successful team formation!"
"From now on, you belong to Hongtang. From now on, your older sister will protect you! Cheers!"
I wanted to say "I" but considering that I still maintain a good girl image in front of others, I changed the subject and said "sister".
Hongtang, full of heroic spirit, poured Xue Li a glass of red wine that had been pre-decanted. Although it was the kind of wine that usually costs several hundred yuan a bottle in the supermarket, it was a rare find these days.
"Meow!" Ha Ge was happily eating in its special big food bowl.
But when it heard that the two were going to toast, it refused.
