Became a salted fish pretend heiress and handed over the system-Chapter 673 - 661: End of the World Plane 49

Seeing that his son insisted, Lin Hao stopped trying to persuade them, and along with the others, finished their meals.

Despite their status, which meant it didn’t matter if they didn’t finish their meals, Lin Hao didn’t want to waste the precious food.

After they had eaten, Lin Hao suggested taking them back, but was rejected by Yan Mo; they wanted to look around outside.

Lin Jingyang wanted to guide them, but was refused by Xia Yue. As the child of destiny, having him around combined with the fact that there were probably many people who recognized him here, they were likely to encounter familiar faces and potential conflicts.

In order to enjoy a smooth sightseeing experience, they firmly decided to wander on their own, not needing a guide.

On the way here, Yan Mo had already memorized the route back, so there was no need to worry about getting lost.

They promised to return before ten o’clock.

Lin Jingyang watched them with disappointment.

After they left, Xia Yue and the others began to look around the base.

The houses here were evidently built using detailed calculations. No building exceeded seven stories, and the exterior materials were exceptionally sturdy, something that the entry-level zombies had no chance of penetrating.

At night, there were quite a few stands set up in the streets selling animal skins, bones, herbs and even some pre-apocalyptic items, along with precious stones and jewelry.

After a round of shopping, they discovered things they liked. After bargaining with the merchant, they traded for these items with food.

Noticing that it was about time, they headed back to Lin Jingyang’s house.

They chatted as they walked.

"It looks quite prosperous here. If it weren’t for the bloodstains on their clothes, I’d think we were at a night market." Xia Yue remarked, eyeing the pieces of jade he’d gotten from the barter.

"Only a few people are well-off, though. I’ve seen some who are nothing but skin and bones.

This is common even in A-level protected bases. I assume the situation is even worse in lower-tier bases." Xia Xi’s observations were more detailed.

"After observing the area, we noticed that there are hardly any individual food vendors, only a few official nutrient liquid shops and food stalls. Food is expensive here; not something ordinary people can afford. So, food is extremely important to them.

Our decision to plant and develop a trade center was absolutely correct." Mo Si opined.

"Exactly, my novel reading isn’t for nothing; after the apocalypse, food and water become essential. Without these two, humans wouldn’t be able to survive for long. They’d either starve or turn into zombies." Xia Yue proclaimed smugly, accepting his praise.

"Let’s look around more tomorrow and try to get a sense of the demeanor of the person in charge here. After three days, we’ll leave and start our plan back in G City." Yan Mo suggested.

"No problem, I can’t wait to test my strength." Ziluo agreed excitedly.

To tell the truth, she hadn’t gotten much of a chance to use her divine power since she gained it. Firstly, because she was in the mountains and didn’t need to grow food, and secondly, because she didn’t have any seeds.

"You haven’t used it before?" Xia Yue felt a little tricked, his eyes wide with surprise.

"Don’t worry, even if I haven’t used it before, I’ll be able to. I guarantee a high yield, there won’t be any problems." Ziluo reassured confidently.

"That’s good to hear."

As they were chatting, they arrived at the door of the Lin Family’s house.

Lin Jingyang, who had been waiting for them at the entrance, was noticeably thrilled to see them again.

Xia Yue and his companions were equally as surprised to see him.

Lin Jingyang let them into the house.
