Doomsday Carnival: The Little Monster Only Has a Seven-Second Memory

Lin Shuangshuang tacitly accepted the package, pretending to put it in the urea bag, but actually storing it in her spatial card. She inquired again, "Sisters, do you live in town? What conditions are required for us to stay here?"

Since my teammates all find it suspicious, I might as well investigate further.

The three of them, including Lorna, were stunned.

Would someone tell you this after something so embarrassing just happened?

Huo Ling remained calm. He glanced at his stunned teammates, then looked at Lin Shuangshuang's back and thought to himself that she was just that kind of person.

Thick-skinned.

If she gets involved with you, you're doomed.

He willingly allowed himself to be...

Seeing the awkward situation unfolding before her, the woman felt embarrassed to refuse to continue the conversation. "How can we live in town? Although town is nice, it's full of elites and people with superpowers. Ordinary people can only set up stalls at the town gate and hand over some items to get inside for refuge."

As for what to do, obviously, food and medicine are both fine.

Lin Shuangshuang quickly grasped the key point: "Go inside to take refuge?"

The woman looked at the young people, but in the end she couldn't bear it. She whispered to them, "Once it gets dark here, the zombies and mutated animals become extremely irritable, unlike how docile they are during the day."

During the day, they dare not approach the town, and even in the nearby villages, zombies and mutated animals are rarely seen. But once night falls, these zombies and mutated animals will go berserk even more, which is especially terrifying.

"To get into town, the rent for a day is twenty one-star alien cores. Ordinary people don't have any special abilities, how are they supposed to save up that much? They could lose their lives if they're not careful. We ordinary people should just stay at home and hide as long as we can."

The woman said this, but her eyes grew increasingly dim. "Those families with surplus food and large households can hold on for a while. My family was already struggling, and now we've been hit with this apocalyptic situation..."

That's incredibly difficult.

The woman sighed, then turned to the group and said, "Although the pressure inside is high, you are all ability users, so it should be easy for you to accumulate ability cores. If you can go inside and live there, you should go and live there."

She said there were hardly any supplies left outside; most of the supplies were inside the town. "Food and medical supplies are the most plentiful and best within a hundred miles."

Ordinary people don't not want to live here, but they can't afford it. "However, everyone feels that it's good to have a place to set up a stall. No one dares to cause trouble in the town lord's territory. At least it gives them another way to make a living."

The woman continued, saying that recently people from other places have also tried to do the same. "I heard it's caused quite a stir. They've really taken over some territory and started fighting again. People from two towns have been fighting until they're bleeding from head to toe. Or they've resorted to dirty tricks, and in the end, both towns have fallen apart. The people in the surrounding area are in a terrible state."

No wonder.

Now it all makes sense. No wonder the man with the mustache was so resistant to their inquiries; he was probably just afraid they were there to cause trouble, because if the town's base were destroyed...

The survivors in that area had nowhere safe to exchange supplies.

Lin Shuangshuang expressed her gratitude again, "Thank you for telling us so much."

Huo Ling also led Wu Zhe and the other two to express their gratitude, showing that their team was quite united.

The woman's expression was complicated. She looked at the five of them and said, "I hope I helped a good person."

Leave this stall.

Lorna thought to herself with mixed feelings, "This older sister doesn't hide anything; she told us directly that the mutated meat can't be eaten."

Gao Lei said, "Everyone around here probably knows. Even if she doesn't say anything, others will find out sooner or later."

If you try to cause trouble for her later, you'll only end up in a worse situation.

She plans to keep her stall here long-term.

Wu Zhe suddenly apologized, "I'm sorry, I've made everyone apologize on my behalf."

Everyone else told him not to overthink it.

"I should be thanking you."

"You didn't do it on purpose."

"Uh-huh."

"Once it's over, let's move on and keep going," Huo Ling said.

Everyone said they had no objections.

But very few people in the entire market were willing to bring food to exchange for it.

If they are available, they will be snapped up quickly.

Food is the scarcest thing.

The five of them worked hard all morning, but the only food they got was the twenty-four free-range eggs they had exchanged at the beginning. They didn't get much else of value.

Huo Ling said, "No need to look anymore, it seems the things are all in town."

He looked towards the gate.

Lin Shuangshuang nodded, "That lady just said that there are fights between the bases in the nearby towns. It seems that the nearby towns have been monopolized."

It would be difficult to find an unclaimed town like before.

Lorna clicked her tongue and said, "They're not an official survivor base either. Isn't this a rebellion? Aren't they afraid the authorities will send people to take them in?"

Huo Ling said, "It's only a matter of time. Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp. In the end, the big fish always wins. We just have to see who the big fish is at the end."

Lin Shuangshuang said, "Since ancient times, evil has never prevailed over good, and the good guy will always be the boss."

Huo Ling glanced at her and chuckled.

Lin Shuangshuang asked him what he was laughing at.

Huo Ling said expressionlessly, "I'm not telling you."

Lin Shuangshuang was stunned.

Wu Zhe and Gao Lei burst out laughing, but immediately shut up when Huo Ling looked over.

Lorna suddenly pointed towards the town gate, "Hey, look! Aren't those people coming for us? What do they want with us?"

Is it that we can't discuss things happening in their town? Is that so authoritarian?

Huo Ling subconsciously stepped forward, his tall figure shielding Lin Shuangshuang and Wu Zhe behind him, and then looked at the newcomer.

Her aura was fully unleashed.

Luo Na and the others were secretly uneasy.

Lin Shuangshuang stepped forward and stood beside him, also staring at the newcomer.

Huo Ling frowned unhappily. When will this guy ever behave himself?

But in the end, nothing was said.

Several people who looked like a team of superhumans approached and shouted, "Where did you come from? You're acting suspiciously. Our town lord wants to see you!"

I fear the real intention is not what it seems.

Both Huo Ling and Lin Shuangshuang had this thought in mind, but they would only know for sure what this was all about after they found out for themselves.

If they had left, there wouldn't have been any problem. But suddenly someone came to invite them?

That's a big problem.

Huo Ling said, "So what if I don't go with you?" He stared directly at the few henchmen.

It appears that his superpower is no more than level three.

Beating them is a piece of cake.

The henchmen immediately said with dark faces, "Then don't blame us for 'inviting' you in!"

Huo Ling suddenly said, "Alright, you invited me, lead the way."

One of them immediately flew into a rage, "Are you fucking messing with us? We told you to go in, so just go in obediently! What are you trying to pull?!"

His teammates had to calm him down and tell him to stop making noise and take the person inside first.
