Chapter 103: Trade
The cat didn’t expect the badly injured dog to attack at this moment. When it heard some movement from behind, it tried its best to dodge.
But how much fur did Yellow Ball have? How could it dodge so easily?
The black cat cried out and its butt was stuck with Yellow Ball’s fur. Although this skill wasn’t too strong due to the sheer amount of fur as compared to the Talking Lady’s one, but it won in quantity.
The fur was stuck into the second half of the cat’s body such that this nimble black lightning fell from the sky and cried out when it hit the ground. Much of the fur was bumped into its stomach when it fell. Although it wasn’t fatal but the black cat was starting to lose feeling. It struggled but failed to get up.
How could the bald Yellow Ball let go of this chance? It ignored its injuries and pounced. It felt like as long as it ate this black cat then it could evolve.
On the other side, Talking Lady was hit by the iron man that the streetlamp turned into. She was in a bad state, her eyes, nose and ears were bleeding. Her blood’s color was very special, it was actually sky blue. Once it flowed onto her white face, she looked like a fierce ghost.
Interrupting the skill caused huge injuries to the Talking Lady. She was hit by the shield and was barely holding on. Now that she saw the iron monster attacking her, she shot out several strands of hair into the body of the monster.
The steel man that was summoned from the streetlight was too ordinary and Ye Zhongming didn’t put in too much mental energy. Its durability was only ten. After the Talking Lady shot hair into it, a light shone and it turned into metal fragments.
During this period of time, Ye Zhongming recovered and his vision was back. Seeing the bad state that the Talking Lady was in, he held his blade and wanted to kill her. Ye Zhongming wanted her to know that he was not someone she could offend.
But at this moment, the Bone Demon probably felt like it had no more hope and it actually roared and knocked towards Ye Zhongming.
Ye Zhongming had no choice but to turn back and slash off its head. He also kept the golden cloth back in the space crystal.
The short delay gave the Talking Lady a chance. This mutated zombie knew that she totally failed today. If she didn’t flee now then she wouldn’t be able to.
The Talking Lady had high intellect and it ran towards the black cat. A few strands of hair attack forced Yellow Ball away. She hugged the pet that couldn’t move anymore and ran away.
When Ye Zhongming noticed, the Talking Lady was dozens of meters away.
Her sneak attacking him infuriated Ye Zhongming. He was obviously unhappy seeing a prey that he was about to capture flee from his hands. He took a deep breath and wanted to chase.
But the talking from the supermarket was picked up by him. His heart shook and he decided that he couldn’t chase the Talking Lady. This level two mutated zombie fled far away and disappeared from his view.
The voice in the supermarket reminded Ye Zhongming of what he wanted to do today. He was afraid that if he chased the Talking Lady, then these people would just leave.
After balancing the pros and cons, he lost the chance to remove the root of the problem.
He found it unfortunate but he continued to dig the Bone Demon’s crystal before tossing its corpse to the side. He touched Yellow Ball and after saying a few soft words, this dog stumbled and ran away.
The battle attracted many zombies in the district. These small fellows weren’t much to Ye Zhongming. He dealt with them swiftly and made some commotion in another area to attract the zombie’s attention before he knocked on the window and asked if they were there.
The supermarket was totally silent.
“Don’t worry, I have no bad intentions, I came here to trade. I just bumped into some zombies and had to kill them.” He paused and then continued, “I am alone and I have an evolution potion.” n0veluSB.c0m
He made them feel safe and told them that he had something they wanted. This was the rule of the apocalypse when trading.
Ye Zhongming backed into the wall and listened closely. He heard a moment of silence and then heard people discussing for half a minute.
After two minutes, a gap opened in the window and a middle aged man’s face appeared there. He looked around for Ye Zhongming and then searched around warily. He lowered his voice, “Where did you get the news from?”
“Brother Deng.”
“Are you alone?”
“Yes.”
“There are no zombies around?”
“I drew them away.”
After a simple conversation, the window was closed. A short while later, that guy took a key out to open the anti-burglar window and waved at Ye Zhongming, “Come in. Slowly, hold your hands up where I can see them.”
Ye Zhongming did as he said and he was also really wary when he jumped in.
The window was closed and blocked with a thick curtain. Someone used a lighter to light a candle and the room was bright.
Ye Zhongming swept and saw a middle aged man standing in front of him. He held a simple crossbow at himself. On the two sides were each a guy and behind him was the other middle aged man that had opened the window for him.
There were some sounds from outside the room so there should be some people there.
“Where is the evolution potion, we want to take a look.”
Ye Zhongming nodded and opened his bag slowly to try to not cause a misunderstanding. He took one out slowly.
“I have more but I want to see the goods.”
The middle aged man hesitated and nodded towards a guy at the corner. The young man took out a package from behind him and took out a job certificate that shone a dim light.
He opened it and held it for Ye Zhongming for him to see.
Things that could be used directly weren’t allowed to be passed to the buyer. These people weren’t stupid and understood this rule at the start of the apocalypse.
Ye Zhongming looked and his eyeball jumped. He bit his teeth to try to act calmer. He nodded toward the young man to express that he saw it.
“How are you planning to trade?”
Ye Zhongming looked at the careful man with the crossbow. He knew that this person was in charge.
“Six one star potions!”
His eyes shone and he said an unreasonable price.
“Too expensive.” Ye Zhongming shook his head.
“You don’t know the item.” The young man who showed him the certificate smiled mockingly like Ye Zhongming didn’t know what he was talking about.
“Two bottles.”
Ye Zhongming ignored him.
“No, too low. Five at least!”
“Three at most.”
The middle aged man paused and was obviously very tempted.
A few seconds later, he shook his head slowly, “At least four, if you don’t have it then please leave.”
