The strongest talent

Deep in the danger zone, in the center of a relatively quiet valley.

An undulating highway passes through the valley, and a serious break occurs about five kilometers ahead, forming two bifurcated intersections, leading to the "Jinzhou Base" in the northwest and the "Tang'an Base" in the northeast. This valley is the place where many trade caravans must pass. It is about five kilometers in radius and the terrain is relatively flat.

In the middle of the valley, a thick layer of snow fell on the originally dense trees, and the surrounding area was white. The cold wind in the valley was also a bit fierce, and it made people's cheeks hurt.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, there were already more than fifty commercial off-road trucks parked in the valley, all seven or eight meters long, with alloy containers at the back. Many adventurers and mercenaries followed the caravan on their way, surrounding the trucks into a large A camping tent was set up in the center of the circle, with an alloy material as the frame and a tarpaulin made of low-level mutated animal skins, which was airtight.

These caravans come from different survival bases around them and carry different goods. This valley is their temporary trading ground in the dangerous zone. Each transaction will last for several days. In many cases, there will be orders stipulated by the Earth Evolutionary Alliance. "Contraband".

Wild trading is a method thought up by commercial and trade organizations. Profit is always the driving force for human adventure.

"Qiqi, don't go too far, stay around here, don't get lost." In an off-road truck, a dark-faced driver pulled up the handbrake, turned to look at a little girl on the passenger seat, and grinned. , showing a mouth full of neat teeth: "That means I'm kindly taking you on your way. It's cold now, and there aren't many mutant beasts around here. Let's go out and play!"

The little girl named "Qiqi" looked to be only five or six years old. She had a pretty face and was wearing a thick white down jacket. She pushed open the passenger door with all her strength. Her little face was immediately flushed by the cold wind. Turning his head and blinking, he said very obediently: "Thank you, Uncle Li, I won't run far away."

After saying that, I climbed out of the car, stepped on the thick snow, and trotted dozens of meters away. I played happily in the snow and built a big snowman. My little hands were white and rosy with cold, as if they had just been frozen in the refrigerator. Take out the carrots.

"Huh?" Yuan Qing walked along the highway and spent a full two hours before finally arriving at the valley. His eyes slowly swept over the surrounding off-road trucks and finally fell on the little girl Qiqi.

When I was studying at the Jian Base Evolution College, many female students were pursuing fashion. They often talked about various famous brands such as LV, Chanel, Hermès... Yuan Qing is not very interested in these, but he knows a few. The snow boots worn by this little daughter have a very conspicuous "X" logo printed on the outside. They are the most famous luxury brand in the world today, Hilald, and they are very expensive. .

Qiqi obviously didn't notice Yuan Qing and was playing in the snow alone with great interest. The mercenaries, adventurers, caravan members around... looked at Qiqi from a distance, with doting smiles on their faces. Some people saw Yuan Qing and nodded, with basically no malice on their faces.

"The adults in his family are really big-hearted when traveling with a child." Yuan Qing shook his head, stopped observing the little girl, and walked straight to the trade tent in the center of the off-road truck.

Seeing Yuan Qing coming, a mercenary immediately came over, and Yuan Qing had already seen that this man was wearing a different badge on his chest. He was not a hunter who specifically accepted bounty missions. He felt a little relaxed - Hong The Du Group's reward for Yuan Qing has not been revoked. Now the reward amount has reached 12 million alliance coins, so we must be careful at all times.

"Friend." The short-haired young man wearing a blizzard combat uniform greeted enthusiastically: "Are you alone, or are you escorting supplies with a caravan?"

Yuan Qing smiled and did not answer directly, but asked: "I know a little bit about the business organization. Do you have any materials for Octopus jellyfish? I just need a brain, and I can buy some combat rations and high-quality food." Concentrated water capsules - the weather is cold now and rivers in the wild are frozen, so drinking water is a bit troublesome."

"Ectopus jellyfish? That's a seafood product. I don't have it here." The short-haired young man shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll ask for you."

After saying that, the short-haired young man put his hands to his mouth and shouted loudly: "Hey, everyone, stop for a moment, a guest is here and wants the brains of the eight-clawed jellyfish. If you have the goods, bring it out as soon as possible!"

The mercenaries and caravan drivers who were setting up the trading tent stopped one after another, raised their wrists, and checked the supply list in the smart watch. After just a few minutes, everyone was shaking their heads, and some mercenaries with rough voices laughed loudly: "How can we get overseas goods? This stuff has to go to the seaside. It is difficult to transport it from the inland. People on the seaside are black It’s hard to talk here!”

"It looks like there are none." Yuan Qing shook his head and had a good impression of the short-haired young man in front of him. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. At the worst, I will go to the coast and just buy some concentrated water capsules."

The short-haired young man took out more than a dozen capsules from the pocket of his combat uniform and stuffed them all into Yuan Qing's hand. He said very generously, "This thing is worthless, so I'll give it to you."

"I can't take your things for free." Yuan Qing took out a bottle of highly effective recovery potion and said with a smile, "I'll trade this for you. Ordinary flesh wounds can be cured quickly. It's like making a friend."

A smile instantly appeared on the short-haired young man's face.

The price of a highly concentrated water capsule is only five alliance coins, while the price of a recovery potion is much more expensive. If you can give it away, at least it is a second-level potion, which is worth 1,000 alliance coins. This transaction No matter how you calculate it, it's a profit.

"Brother, my name is Wu Dong, from Hongfa Merchant Alliance." The short-haired young man put away the potion, pointed to the badge on his chest, which had two letters "HF" printed on it, and made a handshake gesture: "Let me meet you, your name is What?"

Yuan Qing thought for a while and said his name. He didn't want to waste time here and said goodbye: "Without the jellyfish brain, I will go directly to the beach. We are destined to meet again."

"Don't worry." Wu Dong waved his hand and said with a smile: "We don't have it now, maybe we will have it later. This wild market will last for a week, and people from more than a dozen surrounding survival bases will come to participate."

As he spoke, Wu Dong winked quietly with a mysterious look on his face: "You know what happened over there in the Arctic Ocean? The alien spacecraft that crashed in outer space separated a lot of metal cabins when it crashed. This time Noichi is likely to There will be alien technology products, which are not easy to see normally. I came with the caravan this time just to open my eyes."

Yuan Qing remained calm on the surface, but his heart was slightly shaken.

Over in the Arctic Ocean, we must be talking about Wuyuanxing Unit 1. Now there are actually big forces studying the spacecraft module that crashed from Unit 1 and launching new technology? !

"This is not a secret." Wu Dong laughed and said: "Maybe it won't be long before new technological products will be popularized around the world. This is a good thing. Our business alliance just knew it a little early. Are you interested in staying and taking a look?"

Just as Yuan Qing was about to speak, Zhinao's voice rang in the depths of his mind: "Since it has something to do with Unit 1, I must stay and take a look. Each module has a different role. I want to analyze it and see what they get." Which part of."

"There is new technology, it would be a pity not to take a look." Yuan Qing smiled and nodded: "Wu Dong, thank you."

Wu Dong laughed and stopped chatting with Yuan Qing. He waved his hand and returned to the Hongfa Business Alliance team to continue setting up their trading tent. Yuan Qing was bored and thought of the little girl just now. He turned around and saw that she was still playing in the snow, holding snowballs and throwing them to the big tree in the distance.

Although she is not old, she is very strong. She can throw the snowball thirty or forty meters, hitting the branches and shaking them; and she laughs extremely happily, and her "clucking" sound is like a cheerful lark. .

"Little sister." Yuan Qing walked up to the little girl, picked up a ball of snow, broke a branch with a bang, and asked with a smile: "Which caravan are you from? Starting to practice at such a young age is also an evolution. Go ahead. You are very brave if you dare to follow the adults into the danger zone."

The little girl "Qiqi" stopped playing in the snow, raised her hand and rubbed her red nose. Her big black eyes rolled around a few times, looking at Yuan Qing repeatedly, then she smiled sweetly and said, "Brother, you So handsome."

Yuan Qing laughed dumbly.

This little girl is quite discerning. There were many girls pursuing her at Jian Evolution College back then. In terms of appearance, she was indeed quite handsome.

"Let me guess." Yuan Qing pointed at Qiqi's little leather boots and teased her: "The brand is Hilald. They are very expensive. Your parents are willing to buy you such good boots. They feel very sorry for you. But It’s a bit strange that they brought you to the danger zone, what if you encounter a more powerful mutant beast?”

Just as Qiqi was about to answer, the dark-faced driver, Master Li, came over, glanced at Yuan Qing's face, and smiled honestly: "Qiqi is very sensible, and I don't know whose family raised this baby. She is so mysterious." He is secretive and refuses to tell where his home is. He probably got into a temper with his family and ran out secretly."

"Oh." Yuan Qing suddenly realized.

No wonder this little girl would appear in the danger zone. Even the children of evolutionaries would not be brought to the danger zone for training at such a young age. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to meet this kind-hearted driver. If you meet a human trafficker, such a beautiful little girl might be sold.

"When this mission is over, I will think of a way to see if I can find her family." Master Li rubbed Qiqi's little head fondly and said with a smile: "Her parents can't find the child, so why not?" We know how anxious we are, so we don’t expect anything in return, we just want peace of mind.”

Yuan Qing nodded secretly.

This driver has a warm heart, has the Chinese nature of helping others, and is very kind. Qiqi ran away from home and was lucky enough to meet such a kind person. She hoped that with the help of the driver, she could return home smoothly so as not to worry her parents.
