Section 4 Preparation

"Alright, I will wait for you," Lier replied decisively, her beautiful eyes filled with charm. Unconsciously, her fingers found their way to Xue Tong's chest, gently kneading it. Soon, she was rewarded with the sound of Xue Tong's heavy breathing.

Her food is different from the blood pupils. Both are leftovers from the blood pupils, or perhaps they are the most contaminated among that pile of food. In this disastrous world, no one has the right to be picky. This is already the best outcome. Pushing open the door in front of her, countless people in the sewer are still struggling in hunger, eagerly waiting for Lier to throw out some bone scraps

Life in the shelter is filled with despair, and no one can relax. Early the next morning, Blood Eye left his residence. He was busy; if he were to realize his plan, he needed to make many preparations over the next three days

In fact, this kind of episode is not as terrifying as one might imagine. Based on the experience from the last episode, although the process is extremely painful for Xue Tong, it is precisely after the episode that Xue Tong's body begins to strengthen. Therefore, Xue Tong boldly speculates that this episode is not harmful, but rather a necessity for self-enhancement

"I know all of this..." Xue Tong sighed. "I have been out before... you know, that time I almost died out there."

Lier's expression changed several times in an instant. In the end, she still put on a gentle smile. Putting down the food in her hand, she walked behind Xue Tong. A pair of soft and slender fingers gently rested on the other's shoulder and began to knead.

The time to leave the shelter was arranged by him to be before the next high fever of the book. Based on the degree of itching under his armpit, he estimated that the 'it' in his body would flare up within three days, putting him into a state of high fever. During this period, he was extremely weak. Even a child could easily kill him. According to the observations of Blood Eye, the 27th shelter had become increasingly unstable during this time, with outsiders seemingly targeting this place. If he could not leave quickly, he was likely to lose his life in the upcoming conflict.

The room fell silent. Both individuals were lost in their own thoughts. After a while, Lier quietly stood up, walked to the side, and began to eat.

"What did you say?" Lier raised her head, revealing a vigilant gaze

In fact, I should have known long ago that a man like him would never be trapped in such a filthy ruin, waiting for death alongside all the desperate souls. He is an eagle, and eagles always soar towards the blue sky. This place is too small; it can no longer contain his ambitions. From the very first moment I laid eyes on him, I knew he was no ordinary person. To have lived alongside him in this dark and desolate ruin for so long, heaven has already been kind enough to me.

... ...

The black market here is not a black market in the conventional sense. It is not illegal. In fact, there are essentially no laws in this world. It is referred to as a black market due to its chaos and disorder. This is a place that recognizes only money; as long as one has money, almost anything can be purchased. Here, the term 'money' does not refer to currency in the general sense, but rather to rare metals such as gold and some extremely rare minerals. In this place, precious metals and ores, as well as weapons left by previous civilizations, can be used as currency. The goods offered in the black market are diverse and almost everything is available. From food and slaves to weapons and vehicles, there is almost nothing that cannot be bought.

But... myself... why does my heart hurt so much...

Hehe. Lier chuckled softly, extending her little tongue to lick the glistening edges of her lips, her eyes filled with an unmistakable springtime allure. "After dinner... are we going to... eat someone?"

Watching Lier struggle to bite into the hard food, a rare tenderness flickered in the blood-red eyes.

Therefore, I must leave this place before I completely lose my fighting capability

Certainly, such fortunate individuals are few in number. Most commoners can only find some metals that are not yet severely corroded and some trash. Although these items have some value, they cannot fill their stomachs.

Blood Eye did not speak, but the confusion in her pupils deepened, as if shrouded in a mist. "I will take you away, Lier."

Fortunately, Blood Eye has some savings. In addition to food, he has also accumulated some ores, which are the spoils from defeating other predators. In this apocalyptic world, the best way to avoid being eaten by wolves is to become a wolf oneself. Blood Eye clearly understands this principle well. However, he is quite wary of the bandit group here, as they possess too many weapons, most of which are homemade crossbows.

So, you have already made your decision

"Hmm." Blood Eye took a deep breath, suddenly stood up, and with one motion, picked Lier up and threw her towards the makeshift wooden bed not far away.

Do not underestimate this type of weapon. In this apocalyptic world, firearms, while not uncommon, require significant strength to wield effectively. Moreover, the price of ammunition is quite steep. The cost of a single magazine of bullets is enough to ensure anyone's livelihood for a month. In contrast, the crossbow is much more advantageous. This homemade bow and crossbow has been modified, possessing enough penetrating power to pierce the scales of mutated beings within a range of fifty meters. Additionally, it comes with a twenty-arrow magazine. Only a band of outlaws equipped with such a weapon can be considered truly powerful.

Although Blood Eye can barely fill his stomach at Shelter 27, it is evident that he is not qualified to wander around here. Most of those who can afford to spend here are members of various bandit groups. They trade their respective gains through the black market.

He, he already knows... ? ... So, does that mean he must leave... ? Leave here, leave me... ...

Blood Eye had once ventured out of the shelter and understood how perilous the outside world could be. The crossbows out there were merely child's play. Therefore, if he wished to survive in the outside world, he needed to gather sufficient weapons and a considerable amount of survival tools

Having left the residence, the blood-eyed individual first arrived at the black market of Shelter 27. The predecessor of Shelter 27 was a city, vast in size. Numerous figures were already moving about on the ground. These scantily clad civilians were struggling to wander through every corner of the ruins, attempting to find remnants of the civilization that once was. Compared to food, these relics of the former civilization were also quite valuable; there had been rumors of a civilian who found a usable weapon and became wealthy overnight.

Having grown up with the man before me since childhood, I have long forgotten how to live independently. If I were to leave him, perhaps in the next moment, I would cease to exist

Lier is very adept at enticing men's desires. As Xue Tong's breath grew heavy, she gently extended her small tongue, slowly licking every inch of Xue Tong's body. Her eyes were so seductive that they seemed to glisten with moisture, and faint moans could be heard from her lips. Her long legs pressed tightly against Xue Tong's body, gradually sliding. With her movements, a tingling sensation traveled from the nerve endings of Xue Tong, causing his body to tremble slightly.

Are you still going to leave

"Do you already know?" Lier's eyes widened in surprise. A trace of fear involuntarily surfaced in her heart

Her breathing became heavier, and Lier, understanding the sensation of Blood Eye, suddenly smiled at him alluringly, then her entire body slid down. Subsequently, Blood Eye felt his robust member enter a warm and narrow place

If there is any place in the shelter that can be considered lively, it would only be the black market

The Blood Eye did not speak, but instead lunged directly at it. Soon, the room was filled with enticing sounds of moans.

The room was quite simple, yet it could not conceal a hint of spring. Lier quickly transformed into a snake, a beautiful serpent filled with wild allure. The scant clothing on her body vanished in an instant. Her smooth skin resembled satin. If it weren't for the numerous purple spots scattered across it, Lier's skin would be enough to ignite a raging desire in any man

I know that the water circulation system in the ruins is already broken

Perhaps we should leave here

This is too dangerous; the outside world is filled with pollution. Although it is very difficult here, at least we can survive. The water recycling system in the shelter can still provide us with the water necessary for life. If we leave this place, even without pollution and the deadly winds, we would still starve and die of thirst. Moreover...

"Because I no longer want to stay here. I have had enough of this kind of life." Blood Eye raised her head, her gaze increasingly lost beneath her disheveled hair. "No matter how many dangers there are outside, it is far better than waiting to die in this dark sewer. No matter how hard we try here, we can only eat the most inferior food and drink barely filtered murky water. Lier, my body can no longer accept such resources. I need higher quality food and water. Otherwise, I will not be able to gain more strength. And..."

Lier has great confidence in her assets, as she knows her figure is exceptional. In particular, her curves are strikingly beautiful, and many men have previously offered her food to satisfy their dark desires. However, today, everything is solely for the man in front of her

Lier bit her lip. "I have heard that there are mutated creatures everywhere outside, and many bandits as well. We cannot survive in the wilderness."
