The System Sent Me an Object [End of the World]

Cheap, too cheap!

The price of cold weapons are as cheap as cabbage, and some are even cheaper than food!

The swiss army knife costs only 5 points, the survival knife costs only 10 points, the machete and the axe both cost only 15 points, and the more expensive ones are crossbows, swords, long knives, and so on. These cold weapons also have different names, although there is a little difference in price, but the difference is not large.

Hao Jian didn’t stay shocked for too long. Her thoughts fluctuated only for a moment and she quickly calmed down.

She found a small detail in the mall; in the food section, vegetarian and flour-based food are relatively cheap, and meat is the most expensive. The price for prescribed medicines are relatively stable and have not changed much. But weapons that are most necessary for human beings at the moment has very low prices?

If we follow the system’s argument that ‘things are expensive due to the scarcity of resources,’ does that mean that meat has been scarce but there are still many prescribed medicine and weapons?

She also has some doubts regarding the prescribed medicine. She is clearly referring to over-the-counter medicine, but some medicine, such as the tranquilizers she used today, were more powerful than sleeping pills. What kind of medicine is currently available that can have such an effect?

There is another question, where did all this food, prescribed medicine, and weaponry come from?

She didn’t dwell on why she can buy something in an intangible mall and then get the real thing out of nowhere, because the answers are definitely not in the level that she can understand at the moment. As the system said, she has no ‘authority’ yet.

But she would be more interested in the source of these things.

If these things come from the same place and space dimension as the system, take food for example. Are they also scarce in food, or are they just determined by the current situation of the world in which Hao Jian lives?

The system is destined to not respond to Hao Jian’s questions, and Hao Jian has no intention of asking either. After all, it will certainly play dead when encountering such questions.

When Lian Ru Ning returned from her bath, Hao Jian pressed her doubts to the bottom of her heart and asked, “How is your physical strength?”

Lian Ru Ning was a little confused, “Huh?”

Hao Jian pointed to her hair, “Do you still have the strength to help me wash my hair? Little sister?”

Lian Ru Ning always felt that when Hao Jian calls her ‘Little Sister’, her voice would be a little slower, with a lazy and ambiguous tone.

She thought for a while and replied, “. . . Yeah, I still have some strength for this.”

Hao Jian went to the guards to borrow a long bench while Lian Ru Ning came back with half a bucket of water. Although Peng Mao wanted to help them, he was sent away by Hao Jian.

Hao Jian laid down on the bench while Lian Ru Ning reached out to help her remove the bandages but the gauze that wrapped around her wound wasn’t taken off.

A part of Hao Jian’s wound extended to her hairline, so Lian Ru Ning carefully avoided that part as she stroked her long hair.

Hao Jian had just washed her hair the night before and although she was soaked in sweat, it wasn’t too dirty and her hair wasn’t tangled. Lian Ru Ning used her fingers to brush Hao Jian’s hair to the tips.

“There’s not much water, so I can only wash it once.” Lian Ru Ning said.

“Once is fine.”

The sunset has long disappeared and the darkness enveloped the earth. Only the stars shined on the sky.

The sound in Jiangxin Island was very noisy, but it did not affect the two people hiding in the corner while washing their hair. It was as if it was the only peaceful place on the Island.

“Let’s set off tomorrow!” Hao Jian raised her head to look at Lian Ru Ning’s eyes.

Lian Ru Ning pressed her head back, “Don’t move around. You’ll have a hard time if your wound accidentally gets water later!”

Hao Jian muttered, “Long hair is still a bit troublesome, water is scarce, and shampoo is not always available.”

“But it’s very beautiful.” Lian Ru Ning said with a smile.

Hao Jian raised an eyebrow, “Do you like it?”

Lian Ru Ning’s wet hands flinched, making the water almost getting on Hao Jian’s wound. She glared at Hao Jian but the latter didn’t see it at all while chuckling lightly, her voice deliberately lowered, “Anyway, no matter whether little sister has long hair or short hair, I like it all.”

The words were like a discharge of electricity, causing Lian Ru Ning hair to stand. However, before she had time to think about it, she suddenly remembered Hao Jian’s flirty words and suddenly calmed down – she was afraid that she was thinking too much by taking Hao Jian’s ambiguous words seriously.

“Don’t you need another day off?” She turned the topic back to Hao Jian’s question at the beginning.

“It makes no difference if it’s a day early or late.”

A shadow was cast next to them and saw An Minghui coming over, “Not staying for another day? I’ll teach you how to use a gun.”

“We don’t get many chances to touch a gun.” Hao Jian replied.

“Although not much, there are still opportunities, right? A small branch of the cult has caused such a mess in Jiang City. You may face more challenges when you arrive in the southern city. Don’t hold yourself back when learning new skills. After learning, although you may not get a headshot using guns, at least you’ll make better use of them.”

“Adjutant An has said so, we can’t be insensitive.” Hao Jian smiled.

Lian Ru Ning had originally figured out that she no longer needs to focus on going home to look for their loved ones. She has to occasionally pay attention to what’s going on to their surroundings. Moreover, after the conference center incident, she also developed a desire to know more about how to use firearms, so naturally she wouldn’t object.

After Hao Jian washed her hair, she deliberately sat on the bridge, feeling the wind blowing for a while. Next to her was the defensive walls and she could even hear the screaming zombies that were stopped by the tricks on the embankment.

An Minghui took two cans of beer out and asked her, “Drink? It’s from the brewery in my hometown.”

Hao Jian took the bear and looked at him against the faint light, “Hometown, Qing City?”

“Yes. Da Liu and I are both from Qing City, and A Tao is from Ji City.”

Hao Jian noticed that An Minghui’s mood was a little abnormal, but it was normal to think that although he had many teammates before, probably none of them dies like A Tao and Liu Feng, who were stabbed in the back by the people they were desperately trying to protect!

“I think you’re right.” An Minghui suddenly said, “In such a chaotic world, the previous rules are not quite appropriate anymore. Humans are allowed to evolve. If they’re not allowed to fumble, they will not really think.”

“What do you want to do?”

An Minghui grimaced, “At least let them know that even without us, they can still live without relying on a cult. In the end of they day, those people will only be brainwashed by the cult if they’re weal and afraid of death from the bottom of their hearts. Many of them are even just influenced by the atmosphere without knowing that they can actually deal with the zombies.”

Hao Jian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, An Minghui was not stimulated to lose his reason and implement a rough policy in the refuge base. But it seems that she underestimated An Minghui. He is at least a very noble escort member that will not be crooked no matter what.

The reason why An Minghui chose to say these things to Hao Jian was because he could not confide in Yi Gao or Yu Jiyou, they weren’t the right people to listen to him in this conversation.

But Hao Jian is different. She is a smart person and can understand what he means. not to mention that she would leave the base soon, just like a drifting bottle – hiding secrets without the guarantee of returning to him.

“Interesting,” Hao Jian laughed.

The iron gate inside the refuge base suddenly opened. An Minghui took a look and said to Hao Jian, “It seems that someone’s looking for you. I’ll go back first and come here with Miss Lian tomorrow at 5:00 in the morning. I’ll teach you how to use guns.”

Hao Jian nodded. Xin Ting, who was by the door, walked over quickly once she saw An Minghui go back, “Hao Jian, I want to. . .”

Seeing her hesitating, Hao Jian picked up her words, “You want to come to Southern City with us?”

Xin Ting’s eyes widened in surprise, “You, how did you know?”

“Peng Mao just came over and told me that he wasn’t comfortable with us two girls going alone, so he wanted to follow to protect us.”

Although it was more likely that Hao Jian and Lian Ry Ning would be the ones protecting Peng Mao, he was seriously determined,

He was from Jian City, but he no longer had a home or family in Jian City. Because all he has is looks, even his younger brother looks down on him. If he keeps on hiding in Jiangxin Island, he would completely lose his fighting spirit.

Because he was worried that Hao Jian and Lian Ru Ning would leave early tomorrow morning, he hurried over to find Hao Jian.

Xin Ting opened her mouth, “Although I’m scared, I don’t want to stay here. If possible, I want to go with you. Although I don’t have much combat power, I can help you guys keep an eye on the surroundings, just like before!”

Hao Jian was happy, “Why are you both assuming such a weak posture? You know we don’t need you guys to fight for us.”

Xin Ting lowered her head, Hao Jian’s words were unforgiving.

Hao Jian brushed her hair with her hand, “We’re treating you as a companion. You did not rely on anyone to get to this point. You came here with your own courage to get out of the school on you own, so be more confident.”

Xin Ting suddenly looked up at her, after a moment, a little stiffened, “Then I want to go with you tomorrow, will you dislike me?”

Hao Jian put on a hesitant look, seeing Xin Ting feeling anxious again, ‘Didn’t I say I want her to be more confident?’

Hao Jian suddenly raised her chin, “I can’t represent everyone.”

Lian Ru Ning and Peng Mao were looking secretly by the door, and only when they saw Hao Jian notice them did they come out. Hao Jian said, “I’ll listen to little sister.”

Lian Ru Ning’s heart jumped again, secretly cursing Hao Jian for teasing her more and more! It was obvious that everyone would always unconsciously follow her, but it turned out that she was the one in charge of everything.

Of course, she also didn’t know that Hao Jian did have to follow her. Who made the task like this?

Lian Ru Ning walked towards Xin Ting’s side and smiled, “Of course we won’t dislike you! I was worried that without you guys, Hao Jian and I would be bored on the road!”

After speaking, worrying that Hao Jian might say something along the lines of; ‘No, I won’t be bored,’ she immediately sent a warning look over.

Hao Jian couldn’t understand the expression in her eyes and asked the system, “What did little sister mean?”

“Doesn’t the hose boast to have a tacit understanding with the partner? What does she mean, you don’t have any idea in your heart?”
