Apocalypse: Why did you provoke her? She's a cultivator.

Chapter 115 We rented this little building.
There was a right turn at the intersection ahead, so Chu Qingyang immediately turned the steering wheel and turned right.

The cars carrying Zhu Qihong and his teammates that were following behind also turned right and pulled over to the side of the road.

The man heard Ye Qiumian's words, and his smile became even warmer.

Xiao Yunliang wasn't in a hurry to get the crystal cores, because the fact that they had stopped the car meant that the group wouldn't be short of his two crystal cores.

He wore a bright smile on his face. "The leader of Xin'an City is named Wu Heshu, and the deputy leader is named Mu Zhenzhong. On the surface, the two manage Xin'an City together, but in reality, they are at odds with each other, and there are many upheavals between them."

Only military vehicles and vehicles with special privileges are allowed to travel within the inner city.

There are no restrictions in the outer city, and houses in the outer city are much cheaper than those in the inner city.

I know the rent prices in both the inner and outer cities. If you want to rent a place, I can take you there; it only costs five crystal cores as a guide fee.

Ye Qiumian took out seven crystal cores and gave them to him, asking, "Has the military from Lincheng come to Xin'an City recently?"

Xiao Yunliang happily accepted the crystal core and answered all his questions: "Yes, yes, they live in the inner city now."

"Why did you stay in Xin'an City? Why didn't you go to the state capital base?" Ye Qiumian asked again.

Xiao Yunliang was taken aback by her question, paused for a moment, and scratched his head sheepishly, "I don't have a car."

He walked to Xin'an City on his own two feet. As he traveled, blisters formed on his feet, and new ones would appear after they healed.

He was exhausted, hungry, thirsty, and had painful feet along the way. He almost fainted several times and nearly didn't make it to Xin'an City.

But he persevered and made it this far because of his unwillingness to die.

Xin'an City's defenses are quite good.

If Xin'an City doesn't relocate to the state capital base, then he plans to stay in Xin'an City indefinitely.

Since she asked that question, could it be that she wants to go to the state capital base?

Xiao Yunliang couldn't help but ask, "Are you planning to go to the state capital base? I heard the highway to the state capital isn't congested, but there are a lot of people and cars. If all goes well, it should take a day and a half to get there."

If we were to walk, it would take at least twenty days.

Just thinking about it made Xiao Yunliang shudder.

Ye Qiu Mian's eyes were thoughtful. She then turned to Nan Shao Hua behind her and said, "Go to the back and tell Zhu Qi Hong that Li Hongbo is in the inner city. Tell them to go and meet up with Li Hongbo."

Li Hongbo had only agreed to lend the person to someone else initially, but now that they've met again, he'd return them to them.

"Okay." Nan Shaohua nodded in agreement, opened the car door, and went to find Zhu Qihong.

"what?!"

Upon hearing Nan Shaohua say that Chief Li was in Xin'an City, Zhu Qihong was so surprised he almost jumped up.

"What are they doing here? Wasn't Commander Li supposed to be heading to the state capital base?"

Zhu Qihong was very puzzled. He felt that following Ye Qiumian and the others was quite good, but he didn't expect that they would have to part ways so soon.

He was extremely reluctant to part with him, and even couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Li Hongbo.

They were supposed to go to the state capital base, but ended up staying in Xin'an City.

This has forced him to part ways with Ye Qiumian and the others.

Nan Shaohua shrugged. "Then I don't know."

When the other team members heard that they were to meet up with the military, they couldn't help but groan in despair.

No matter how unwilling they were to return to the military, they had no choice but to go back and rejoin the group.

Zhu Qihong left with his men, leaving only two team members behind.

They claimed they stayed to help, but their real purpose was to find out where Ye Qiu Mian and the others lived.

Once he's settled in, he can go find Nan Shaohua and the others.

Ye Qiumian asked Xiao Yunliang to get in the car and lead the way to rent a house.

Since cars weren't allowed inside the inner city, Ye Qiumian asked Xiao Yunliang to find a separate courtyard in the outer city. Xiao Yunliang had been in Xin'an City for a week.

In order to earn crystal cores to support himself, he has not yet fully explored the entire Xin'an City.

But a third of the area is still quite familiar.

Upon hearing Ye Qiumian mention that she wanted to find a small, detached house, Xiao Yunliang reminded her, "The outer city isn't very safe; there might be quite a few petty thieves, so you must keep a close eye on your belongings."

Since cars are not allowed in the inner city, people with cars choose to settle in the outer city. Moreover, the outer city is much larger, about two-thirds the size of the inner city, so it can accommodate a huge number of people.

This resulted in a mixed bag of people in the outer city, including quite a few with formidable strength.

The outer city of Xin'an City was large, and for ease of management, it was divided into eight major areas.

These are regions A, B, C, D, E, F, H, and G, respectively.

Areas A and B have the best environments; the houses are from newly built communities from before the apocalypse.

Secondly, there's the CDH area. In these three areas, new houses make up about half, and the remaining half consists of half of the houses that are already new and half of the houses that are old.

Areas E and F are mostly old houses, with some new houses, but not many.

The worst area is G district, half of which are dilapidated buildings, and the living conditions are the worst.

Before the apocalypse, those were all dangerous houses that were not allowed to be inhabited, but now a large number of people are flocking to Xin'an City.

Some people can't afford to rent nice houses, but these dilapidated houses are not only cheap, but can also be renovated and still be lived in, so they have become the first choice for most ordinary people.

Xiao Yunliang only knew the house prices in districts A, B, C, and E; he hadn't had time to learn about houses in other areas.

Based on the prices quoted by Xiao Yunliang, Ye Qiumian chose the house in Zone C.

Led by Xiao Yunliang, Ye Qiumian and her group arrived at Xin'an City, District C, and stopped in front of a two-story building by the roadside.

This small building is about 80% new. It is about 20 meters away from the roadside. A row of trees is planted in front of the door, which blocks most of the building.

There is also a courtyard inside, which is about 20 square meters.

"The landlord of this building doesn't live here. I know where she is. Please wait two minutes while I go and call her over."

With Ye Qiumian's consent, Xiao Yunliang immediately ran towards the nearby village.

A little while later, Xiao Yunliang came over with a woman who had thick eyebrows, small eyes, and a somewhat fierce appearance.

The older woman, wearing an orange and black floral top, saw Ye Qiumian and her group and said in a gruff voice, "You want to rent this house?"

When he saw that Ye Qiumian was the only girl among the six people, his thick eyebrows furrowed so deeply they almost stood up.

Nan Shaohua took a small step forward. "Yes, we want to rent it."

The eldest sister glanced at Ye Qiumian out of the corner of her eye, pointed at Xiao Yunliang, and said in a strong voice, "He should have told you the price, right? This small building is rented out monthly, seventy crystal cores a month."

Nan Shaohua immediately looked at Chu Qingyang and urged, "Chu Qingyang, quickly give me the crystal core!"

Chu Qingyang glanced at him, counted out seventy crystal cores, and handed them to the woman in the floral dress.

The older sister took out her key and was about to go to open the door.

"We rented this small building."

A rough, hoarse voice suddenly came from behind them.

The older sister stopped opening the door and looked in the direction of the sound.

A dozen or so people swaggered over.

The two men at the head were burly and carried an axe on their shoulders.

Beside the two was a woman with messy braids.

When the woman saw Ye Qiumian and her group, her eyes widened immediately.
