“Big, big, big! Damn! Why is it still small!”

“Ahahaha, I won again!”

“…”

“Old Chen, I heard you recently got yourself a pretty little wife? Cough, you know what I mean…”

“Get lost! This wife is not for sale! Ours is true love!”

“Heh, that’s what you said last time.”

“…”

“Food’s been kind of scarce lately, can you lend me some of yours?”

“I barely have enough for myself! If you’re short on food, why don’t you go find some?”

“Sigh, who would’ve known this heavy rain would last so long and not stop! I can’t stand this toxic rain; I can only wait for the weather to clear before going out…”

“…”

“Take a look! Fresh from town, cold medicine for sale, cheap prices, no deception!”

“Damn it, this medicine’s all melted, and you’re still charging so much!”

“Just say if you want it or not!”

“I’ll take it! But make it cheaper…”

This was a somewhat dimly lit hall, populated with quite a few survivors. Some were playing dice or cards, some were chatting, and others had set up stalls… It seemed very chaotic.

Both Xu Xiaojun and Wang Tao were burly men, and as soon as they stood at the entrance, they pretty much blocked the light completely.

The hall instantly darkened. Most of the people instinctively turned to look.

Upon seeing Xu Xiaojun, many were somewhat dumbfounded.

Fatty doesn’t like coming to places like this, why did he come today? Did he change his mind?

But when they saw Wang Tao, everyone’s eyes lit up.

In their minds, four words instantly appeared: New guy, easy to con!

And finally, when they saw the beautiful, curious girl who emerged from behind Wang Tao, nearly everyone’s mouth dropped open!

“Holy shit! Such a pretty and clean girl!”

“Is she brought here for trade? With such good looks, she must be expensive! Probably can’t afford her…”

“None of you try to compete with me; I want to take her as my goddaughter!”

“Dream on, if she were my wife, I could ensure she doesn’t starve to death. But if she were your daughter, she’d be lucky to live half a month!”

“…”

Many were appraising Jiang Shixue, as if she was a piece of merchandise.

Hearing these comments, Wang Tao frowned a bit.

He didn’t really care about other people’s comments; he was just worried Jiang Shixue would be unhappy. The last creature that made Jiang Shixue unhappy now has grass growing over its grave that’s several meters tall.

Fortunately, Jiang Shixue’s face showed no signs of annoyance or unhappiness. She was merely curious, intrigued by everything she hadn’t seen before.

But as Wang Tao looked at Jiang Shixue, she suddenly looked up and met his gaze, her red lips parting slightly.

“Brother doesn’t like them? Should I make them shut up?”

“There’s absolutely no need!”

Wang Tao quickly tugged on Jiang Shixue’s small hand.

When she talks about shutting up, she means it literally.

“Oh.”

Jiang Shixue didn’t say much else and continued to observe the situation inside.

“Welcome to Fish Bay Camp, sir! I am Lu Qi, the owner of Fish Bay Agritainment. These days, everyone just calls me Eldest Lu.”

A middle-aged man with a big belly and a bald head walked up to Wang Tao. He spoke with a hint of arrogance, as after all, he had built the camp from scratch, and he had many people under his command—some arrogance was natural.

Yet his strength wasn’t very impressive. Although an Ability User, his HP wasn’t even 2,000, and his overall strength might not even match Xu Xiaojun’s.

But Eldest Lu had a Hidden Attribute.

[Hidden Attributes: Danger Perception]

[Danger Perception: A certain prewarning of incoming dangers]

This Hidden Attribute is nice, a real lifesaver in the post-apocalypse!

When Eldest Lu came to Wang Tao’s side, his expression suddenly became solemn.

From a distance, he hadn’t felt anything towards Wang Tao, but upon approaching him, he felt an immense pressure!

This pressure far exceeded what he felt from Xu Xiaojun!

This man… is so strong!

He felt that if he provoked this person, he would surely die!

Eldest Lu had survived thus far thanks to his sixth sense, so he immediately dropped his arrogance and stood up much straighter.

“My name is Wang Tao. I’d like to inquire about our exact location, what’s around here, and a map would be ideal, if available.”

Wang Tao got straight to the point.

In the course of fleeing for his life, everything he carried had been destroyed. Forget about a map, even his security uniform was gone. Fortunately, he had a set of Attribute-enhanced clothes; otherwise, he would be dressed just like the other survivors. Jiang Shixue was wearing a set of Attribute-enhanced clothes as well. Besides being durable, these clothes had no other features.

“No problem at all! Come this way, please! Little Jun, you come as well!”

Eldest Lu warmly led Wang Tao and Xu Xiaojun inside. As for Jiang Shixue by Wang Tao’s side, he didn’t ask; he didn’t even spare her a second glance.

“Alright.”

Wang Tao followed. This Eldest Lu seemed to be a smart man, which meant Wang Tao could save himself a lot of words.

The others, seeing Eldest Lu suddenly so polite, were immediately taken aback.

There was only one kind of person who could make Eldest Lu so courteous—a true powerhouse!

In an instant, the volume of conversations among some people dropped significantly.

They weren’t foolish; if he really was a powerhouse, it would be better not to offend him, even in mere words.

Eldest Lu led Wang Tao to an office, which was decorated ostentatiously, appearing quite gaudy.

After inviting Wang Tao to sit, he also served him tea, which made Wang Tao raise his eyebrows slightly.
