Immortal in The Apocalypse

A few minutes later, Zhu Lin touched Xiu Wu’s soft hair and felt that it was almost dry.

She looked at him and said, "It’s done. Make sure you dry your hair properly next time, or you will catch a cold. Humans are very fragile, so you must take good care of yourself."

Hearing her words of concern, Xiu Wu smiled and nodded obediently. "Mhm."

When she looked away from Xiu Wu, she saw Ji Yang, Tan Wei and the children staring at the two of them. She touched her face and asked doubtfully: "Is there something on my face?"

When she asked, both Tan Wei and Ji Yang shook their heads at the same time. As for the children, they stared at Xiu Wu silently.

Zhu Lin is the one who takes care of them these days, so they all regard her as their elder sister and family member. Seeing that Zhu Lin was also taking care of Xiu Wu, they looked at him for a long time. This scary elder brother must also be part of their elder sister’s family. They suddenly felt that he is not so scary anymore.

Seeing Zhu Lin’s confused look, Xiu Wu chuckled and asked, "Xiao Lin, what were you thinking about just now?"

Hearing his question, Zhu Lin looked at him and said, "Ji Yang said that the base is buying new ores from ordinary people and supernatural beings. I think if we want to complete the construction of our base as soon as possible, we need to buy materials too."

Seeing that Xiu Wu, Ji Yang and Tan Wei were listening attentively, she continued: "Since the price offered by the base is very low, if we raise the price a little bit, those people will choose to sell the ore to us instead of selling it to the base. All we need to do is open a stall and wait for them to sell the ores to us. This will save us a lot of time and effort."

Xiu Wu thought about her words and said, "Then we need to collect more materials for you to refine the talismans."

After speaking, he looked at Ji Yang and said, "Lao Yang, can you take out the materials we collected for Xiao Lin?"

Ji Yang nodded, and then took out more than twenty bottles of mutant blood and several boxes of paper. Looking at the blood exuding rich spiritual energy, Zhu Lin’s eyes lit up. She quickly put the blood and the paper into the Qiankun bag to prevent the blood from losing its spiritual energy.

With a smile on her face, she looked at Xiu Wu, Ji Yang and Tan Wei, and then said, "Thank you. I will refine more talismans later."

Seeing her smiling happily, Xiu Wu reached out and gently rubbed her head and said, "Don’t overwork yourself. If you need anything, let me know and I will get it ready for you."

When Zhu Lin felt embarrassed and awkward by Xiu Wu’s intimate behavior, Tan Wei glanced at his watch and said, "It’s only seven o’clock in the morning. How about we set up a stall to buy the ore after breakfast?"

Ji Yang looked at him and said, "It’s so hot outside. I don’t think people will go out in such hot weather."

Tan Wei shook his head and said, "As long as we offer a better price than the base, those people will come to us to sell their ores. Besides, we also need to hire workers. We’d better meet them directly before hiring them to avoid hiring bad people."

After saying that, Ji Yang stood up and said, "Then let’s eat first. I’m starving."

Leaving those words behind, he walked to the kitchen. Remembering Ji Yang said that all the fruits and vegetables had been eaten, Zhu Lin also got up and walked to the kitchen.

Ji Yang saw her coming and asked, "Xiao Lin, why are you coming here? Oil fumes when cooking are harmful to health. You should wait in the living room and leave the cooking to me and Lao Xiu."

Zhu Lin walked into the kitchen, took out a lot of vegetables, fruits and staple foods from the Qiankun bag, and said, "Ji Yang, you’d better keep more food in case the three of you go out for a long time again."

Ji Yang glanced at the food on the table and smiled at her, "Then, I won’t be polite. Thank you, Xiao Lin."

After he put away all the food into his space, the two of them then prepared a simple breakfast with Xiu Wu’s help. After breakfast, the four of them left the apartment together, while Tu Tu stayed at home to take care of the children. Due to its cute appearance, Tu Tu became the children’s favorite in just a few days.

As they walked down the stairs, they met Meng Zhelan and Wen Na in the lobby of the apartment building. Seeing the four people wearing identical ice silk cloaks, Meng Zhelan smiled and said, "Good morning, Elder Sister Zhu Lin. Are you going out?"

Although their previous separation was not in a good way, Zhu Lin still had a good impression of Meng Zhelan. She nodded to Meng Zhelan and said, "Mhm. We are going to set up a stall in the market area."

Hearing what she said, Meng Zhelan was a little surprised. That’s because Zhu Lin usually set up a stall in the night market, and this was her first time setting up a stall in the daytime market area.

Meng Zhelan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Elder Sister Zhu Lin, are you selling food and water again?"

Thinking of those delicious vegetables and fruits, Wen Na couldn’t help but swallow her saliva. She looked at Zhu Lin, her eyes full of expectation.

Zhu Lin didn’t notice their eagerness, so she shook her head and said, "I’m going to buy new ore. If you have the ores and want to sell it, you can come to my stall. One kilogram of ore can be exchanged for two hundred grams of food or two hundred milliliters of water."
