Ji Anran's relationship with the others in the team was relatively good, although he had hidden his ability from them at the beginning, his teammates didn’t put much blame on him.
After all, although Ji Anran had pretended to be weak, he had never been a drag holding them back, so there was nothing to really criticize.
Ji Anran and Geng Yan had already arrived on this side since the first day of the trade fair. Both of them had explored the terrain of the black market already.
Ji Anran took out the map he had drawn, written on top was also a lot of annotation from when he analyzed.
Geng Yan took a look, then pointed out several locations. "People can also hide in these spots..."
The team carefully discussed a bit on how to respond to the dangers to come, then headed out.
Though it was still broad daylight, they were going back to sleep. In the evening, they will be risking themselves to go trade at the prosperous black market.
Ji Anran laid down on the bed and soon fell asleep.
Geng Yan, on the other hand, was still pondering about various potential issues and possible strategies.
For example, how to react if the lighting was too dim, or how to react if there was bright moonlight.
Ji Anran was a wind-type ability user, making it very easy for him to investigate the surrounding using the airflow around him. Of the entire team, Ji Anran would be affected the least. He essentially doesn't have to worry about visibility at all, and because other people would be much more affected, contrarily, he would have an advantage.
Night fell, the silver moon hung high in the sky casting a silvery-white radiance down upon the earth below.
Everything on the ground was clearly illuminated. Now that resources were scarce, a lot of people wouldn’t even bring a flashlight but just directly head out as is.
Geng Yan and the others were all wrapped up tightly, and because they didn't want to be too conspicuous, they also didn't bring out any flashlights.
The group of people went through the black market, making the exchange whenever they found a nucleus they needed. The vast majority of those who dared to come to the black market were ability users, and if they were not, then it was certain they had some terrifying weapon - for example, guns.
Geng Yan had a lot of second-order nuclei in his hand and so could offer the attribute the other side wanted from the start at the beginning. However, later on, when there were fewer nuclei, it would be much more difficult to make exchanges.
Generally speaking, the stalls vendors tend to prefer being exchanged with second-order nuclei of other attributes. With the zombie tide around the corner, nothing mattered more than enhancing one’s strength as soon as possible and storing up enough nuclei reserves to recharge as necessary.
The black market was very lively that night. Geng Yan and his team spent over an hour before they managed to finish exchanging all the second-order nuclei in hand.
The night passed by and all the members of the team managed to exchange more than a dozen nuclei. But Geng Yan only managed to exchange a few, which there was nothing they could do. The thunder ability was rare, thunder-type nuclei were also rare.
However, the destructive power of a thunder-type nucleus was strong. Although the quantity was low, the power within was denser. One would be able to advance with fewer nuclei, so the difficulty of advancing actually wasn’t that different as compared to other ability users.
The group continued to stroll around, wanting to see whether there might be anything of interest.
"Thunder-type nuclei? I have a third-order one. But I want two tanks of gas, the size of this case." A hoarse voice came out from under his cloak, and he pointed to a fuel tank at the side of the stall.
The fuel tank wasn’t very large, the specification was fairly common.
But during the apocalypse, gasoline was becoming more and more precious. Although they really needed that thunder nucleus, they didn't really want to use gasoline as an exchange. After all, this sort of thing lessens with each amount used.
"Of course, if you have a third-order wind-type nucleus, I will also accept."
Ji Anran's small hand clenched under his black cloak.
There was no way Geng-ge would be able to take out a third-order wind nucleus, because he had already absorbed it.
But, gasoline... If they encountered any danger, they still needed it to quickly drive out of the danger zone!
Ji Anran thought it over, then leaned over to murmur a few sentences.
The cloaked man gave it some thought. "Let’s change the location then talk."
