"How is it possible? Isn't Su Xiaohan still in S city? How is it possible that he is here? Jiujiu, you must be dazzled."

Wei Qingqing followed Du Jiujiu's gaze and saw only a group of people with gray heads and stained faces. They seemed to have just returned from a mission and walked into the mercenary union like a swarm.

After they left, the narrow street became empty in an instant, and not even a single person could be seen.

"Yes, Jiujiu, we came to the Imperial Capital by car, and we didn't waste much time on the road. Even if Su Xiaohan really came to the Imperial Capital, he wouldn't be earlier than us." Hu Xiaoyun also agreed.

"You are right, maybe I saw it wrong. How could he be here?" Du Jiujiu murmured, with a wry smile on his lips as he lowered his head.

When they returned to the small courtyard, An Cheng had indeed returned.

Some of the debris that had been piled up randomly in the yard had been cleared into a pile and placed in the corner, making the small yard look much larger in an instant.

"Where have you been? Are you back so late?" An Cheng heard the sound in the room, opened the door and walked out.

"We went to many places! There is actually a mercenary union here that can do tasks, and there is also a shop called 'Yibao Pavilion', which sells all kinds of strange things, including all kinds of food and clothes.

There is a lot of space! We bought a lot of things, and you have a share too! Look, this is a gift for you!"

Wei Qingqing kept talking excitedly. After rummaging through the bag Du Jiujiu was carrying, he took out a black short-sleeved sportswear and handed it to An Cheng.

"Sister An Cheng, try it now. You will look very handsome in this!"

"There are also gifts, it's really nice!" An Cheng took the clothes and compared them with himself. When he saw that they were just right, he knew that they must have chosen them carefully for him, and he couldn't help but raise his lips slightly.

"But, An Cheng, don't be angry, we... almost spent all the money..." Du Jiujiu put the bag in his hand on the small table in the yard and showed an embarrassed smile.

"All spent?! Okay, okay, just spend it all. Let's just make some more."

"Not only did we spend it all... we have to earn another 30,000 new dollars in the next few days..." Du Jiujiu's voice became smaller and smaller, with a guilty conscience that could not be concealed.

"What? You still owe money?!" An Cheng couldn't believe her ears for a moment. She remembered that they had just left with 4,000 new dollars in their pockets. The purchasing power of new dollars was only a fraction of the money before the apocalypse.

It's a lot more, how could it be possible that I only bought a few clothes and then spent them all, and I still owe tens of thousands in foreign debt.

Du Jiujiu quickly told her about the Fire Cloud Whip that he ordered for Sister Xiaoyun in Yibao Pavilion. An Cheng nodded after hearing this.

"It's time to prepare a suitable weapon for Sister Xiaoyun. Sister Xiaoyun's abilities are getting stronger and stronger now. If she has a weapon that suits her, her combat effectiveness will definitely reach a higher level."

As I spoke, the sun had already set towards the western horizon.

Loud and wild screams sounded one after another from far away in all directions.

I don't know when there were a few more black shadows in the sky.

"Pullingleng——"

A huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky. It flapped its wings and dived straight towards Du Jiujiu and the others.

"Be careful!" Du Jiujiu immediately protected everyone behind him, pulled out the long knife on his back, suddenly tapped the ground with his toes, and rushed towards the black shadow in the sky like a cannonball.

The long knife cut through the air, leaving a series of loud noises. The next moment, the blade struck straight upward and slashed hard at the black shadow.

"Bang!!"

As the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground was heard, Du Jiujiu used the force from the long knife to turn over in the air, and then fell to the ground deftly.

Only then did she see clearly that the behemoth on the ground was actually a mutated giant bird about five meters long.

"It seems that the Imperial Capital base is not so safe." An Cheng frowned and held the scimitar he just took out tightly in his hand.

"We'd better get in the house quickly. It's just getting dark. Maybe some strange beasts will attack here soon."

"But now our dinner is missing!"

Not only did Hu Xiaoyun and Wei Qingqing not look nervous at all, but they were happily discussing dinner, and did not take the attack of the bird monster to heart at all. It seemed that the training along the way had made them grow a lot.

When Du Jiujiu dragged the mutated big bird's body into the house at the urging of the two of them, he immediately removed a few pieces of its intact flesh. Then Hu Xiaoyun got busy in the kitchen.

Not long after, a pot of fragrant bird meat soup was ready.

The windows in this house are all hung with extremely light-blocking curtains. Even if they light the lights in the house, they can't see a trace of light from the windows.

The group of people sat around the table in the restaurant, drinking the fragrant broth, and felt very comfortable for a while.

However, the leisurely time had not lasted long when the doorbell outside the courtyard suddenly rang.

"Why would anyone come so late?" Hu Xiaoyun put down the bowls and chopsticks, got up and walked towards the door.

Du Jiujiu was worried about Hu Xiaoyun, so she picked up the long knife and walked over together.

It was already very dark outside, and the door outside the courtyard was still some distance away from the door of the house. Looking out through the peephole, I saw nothing but darkness outside the house. In the haze, I could only see a blurry figure standing outside the courtyard door.

There was a figure, but it was not clear who it was.

Du Jiujiu had no choice but to open the door a crack. This time she relied on her night vision ability to see the people outside the hospital clearly. Unexpectedly, the person who came was Luo Yucheng.

"An Cheng, your brother is here!" Du Jiujiu turned around and shouted to An Cheng, then opened the door and walked towards the courtyard gate.

"Brother Luo, come in quickly. Why did you come here so late? It's so dangerous outside now!" Du Jiujiu opened the door as he said it. Seeing that there were no strange beasts around, he quickly locked the door again after Luo Yucheng entered.

.

The night of the apocalypse was full of dangers even in the base. Without any further delay, they immediately returned to the house and closed the door.

"Sorry for making you worry. Captain Wang told me your address in the afternoon, but I have been away from here for too long and have a backlog of things to deal with, so I came late." Luo Yucheng smiled,

His face was full of exhaustion.

"Meow~~"

Xiaobai let out a soft cry, moved closer to Luo Yucheng, and rubbed his trouser leg with his furry little head.

Luo Yucheng leaned down and touched Xiaobai's head, feeling the warmth coming from his hands.

"Brother, come here and have something to eat!" An Cheng casually transformed a piece of metal into a chair, moved it to the dining table, and made a pair of bowls and chopsticks to place on the table.

Hu Xiaoyun quickly picked up the bowl and filled a bowl full of broth and handed it to Luo Yucheng.
