The neighbors of his aunt's family were all surprised and curious when they saw Chu Yunsheng's group from afar. But when their eyes met, they immediately lowered their heads and pretended to be busy doing something.
This place was a real slum. Since Chu Yunsheng came in, he had already seen at least two people's bodies being carried out. There were no important people here, and there were no family members either. There was not even a single person in neat clothes. Everyone's face was lifeless, as if they had been abandoned by the world.
The sudden appearance of a large number of dark warriors, and even a few people from GRD, was like a group of crocodiles suddenly appearing in a peaceful pond in the countryside.
Chu Han was physically and mentally exhausted because of the emotional fluctuations, so she fell asleep after being comforted by Chu Yunsheng. Chu Yunsheng took out a lot of food from the travel bag and gave it to Jing Tian. There was rice, pork, chicken, and even some vegetables that made Duan Danian crazy. He asked Duan Danian's people to help her prepare a late dinner. It was almost 23 o 'clock, everyone was starving.
Chu Yunsheng's fluctuating emotions gradually calmed down, and his heart that had been hanging in suspense for a long time also calmed down a little. Nowadays, the world had collapsed, families were everywhere, and there were countless people who died in the disaster. His aunt's family was already considered lucky, so he didn't dare to ask for more.
"Lao Duan, thank you for today," Chu Yunsheng said. Although Chu Yunsheng did not like those robbers, since he entered the city, no matter what, they had been helping him. If it weren't for them, he would not have been able to see his aunt's family so soon.
"Brother Chu, don't mention it, I'm just bored!" Duan Danian's answer was obviously fake. He subconsciously yawned, but it could not hide his tiredness.
"Who is the dark warrior gang in this area?" Chu Yunsheng pointed at the ground and suddenly asked.
"Let me think, oh, this is the Western District, I rarely come here, so I really don't know about this area. Should I ask around for you tomorrow?" Duan Danian thought for a while and shook his head helplessly.
Chu Yunsheng nodded his head and said:
"It's alright, there's no rush. Old Duan, we've been going back and forth, so we can be considered acquaintances. I won't beat around the bush. I'm very grateful that you brought your brothers to run errands for me today!" Chu Yunsheng paused for a second, then took out a few boxes of biscuits and a few bags of noodles and said, "take these things, it's a reward for your men's hard work today."
"How, how can this be? No need, no need, really no need. " Although Duan Danian was greedy for the food in front of him, he was the boss after all. He knew what his goal was.
"Let me finish." Chu Yunsheng put the things in his arms and said calmly, "I know what you are thinking about, but unfortunately, I can't help you now."
Chu Yunsheng's straightforward words stopped Duan Danian's plan. Duan Danian's face immediately became gloomy. But Duan Danian also knew that although he did help Chu Yunsheng a lot, it was just some small things. It was not enough for Chu Yunsheng to help him take back his territory. If he wanted to do that, he would have to kill someone!
The only time he had a chance to strengthen their relationship was the conflict with Bai Yutang. But in the end, when Bai Yutang took the initiative to back off, it disappeared instantly.
"Brother Chu, you really don't need to say that. No matter what, it is my honor to be able to make friends with a master like you!" Duan Danian's smile was a little stiff, but it was also a little sincere.
"Lao Duan, the reason why you want to take back your territory is just to get food. Speaking of food, I think we can still work together." Chu Yunsheng patted Duan Danian's muscular arm and said.
On the way back to the Western District, he had already learned from Jing Tian and Boss Duan that the area where his aunt lived was mostly made up of ordinary people who had no power and no relatives. Apart from those homeless people who lived on the streets, they had the second lowest social status in Jin Ling city. If it wasn't for the fact that some of the local residents were taken care of by the local officials, they probably wouldn't even have soup porridge that was distributed once every two to three days.
He had just arrived in Jin Ling city, and he still had the ancient book with him. Before he became powerful enough, it was best for him to avoid those big forces that had been in Jin Ling city for a long time. He needed time to sort out the system of the ancient book, reorganize the strange symbols in the book, reforge the armor, stock up on talismans, and find a new source of food.
Although no one paid much attention to this slum, it was a good place for him to stay. It could buy him enough time. Of course, he couldn't live in a shack, but he could live in a few buildings nearby.
Now, he planned to temporarily use those meat worms as food. He would cooperate with Duan Danian and ask them to collect all kinds of monster corpses for him outside of the main city. This kind of thing would be much easier if they had more people, it would be much faster than if he collected them by himself. This way, he could greatly increase the speed and grade of his armor.
"Huh?" Duan Danian's dim eyes suddenly lit up again, but he still had a hint of confusion in them.
"I still have some food, but I was worried that it would be confiscated when I entered the main city, so I hid it outside the main city. I need a lot of monsters' bodies to do experiments, you can take your people to collect those bodies, I will use the food to trade with you." Chu Yunsheng had already made up an excuse to use the insects' bodies for experiments. Didn't professor Sun give him the identity of a junior researcher? No one else knew about it, so it gave him a good excuse.
"Then, then how much do you need?" Duan Danian was dazed for a second. It was not because Chu Yunsheng needed monster's bodies, it was a well-known fact that GRD had been researching monster's bodies for a long time. What surprised him was that Chu Yunsheng still had food hidden outside the main city.
Of course, he also wondered why Chu Yunsheng wanted to use his own food to exchange for monster's bodies. Moreover, GRD also had its own people. But he chose not to ask. Among the three main departments, which department was not powerful?
Strange things happened every day. Maybe they were doing some secret experiments to avoid people's attention, or maybe it was some internal power struggle. Some departments were trying to get their own unique technology to control GRD.
Duan Danian was only interested in food. He did not have the time to think about those things. If he had the time to think about it, he might as well go back and hug the girl he caught yesterday.
"Let's talk about the exchange rate later. Let's go eat first!" Chu Yunsheng threw away the cigarette butt. Jing Tian and the others had already prepared the food.
Using food to exchange for insects' bodies was just a temporary plan. Of course, it would not work in the long run. His food was also limited. Before he could find a new source of food, he did not dare to waste any of it. So he only planned to use those meat worms that he killed in the fog city as barter.
He had seen it with his own eyes today. The new food experiment had already progressed to the stage of human clinical trials. It meant that the new food would be born soon!
But right now, the GCH must be busy collecting and transporting all the food that was distributed in the surrounding countries and regions, as well as the food that was stored by the farmers in the countryside, back to Jin Ling city safely. Only with this kind of food would they be able to temporarily feed all the survivors in Jin Ling city, including the dark warriors, before the new food appeared.
Whether it was transporting food for the military or the dark warriors, or the new food from all kinds of monsters and plants, the most important things in Jin Ling city would be the new weapons that could be used by the military or the dark warriors.
Chu Yunsheng's unique auxiliary combat talismans, all kinds of sealing energy weapons, and even the tier-1 armor would all shine.
