Colonial Suit

The room fell silent. Both were deep in thought. After a while, Lier silently stood up and went to the side to eat.

Her food was different from Xuetong's. It was all leftovers from Xuetong's meals, or the more heavily contaminated food from the pile. In this world of disaster, no one had the right to be picky. This was already the best outcome. Pushing open the door, countless people in the sewer were still struggling in hunger, eagerly waiting for Lier to throw out some bone scraps.

Watching Lier laboriously gnawing on the hard food, a rare hint of tenderness flashed in Xuetong's eyes.

"Maybe, we should leave here."

"What did you say?" Lier raised her head, a wary look on her face.

"It's too dangerous. The outside world is full of pollution. Although it's hard here, we can at least survive. The shelter's water recycling system can still provide us with life-sustaining water. If we leave here, even without pollution and deadly gales, we'll starve or die of thirst. And..."

Lier bit her lip. "I heard that there are mutated creatures everywhere outside, and many bandits. We can't survive in the wild."

"I know all that..." Xuetong sighed. "I've been outside before... You know, I almost died out there."

"Then you still want to leave?"

"Because I don't want to stay here anymore. I'm fed up with this life." Xuetong looked up, the expression in his eyes under his messy hair becoming increasingly lost. "Even if there are more dangers outside, it's better than waiting to die in this dark sewer. Here, no matter how hard we try, we can only eat the worst garbage and drink barely filtered muddy water. Lier, my body can no longer accept such resources. I need higher-grade food and water, or I won't be able to gain more power. And..."

"I know the water recycling system in the ruins is broken."

"You know?" Lier widened her eyes in surprise, a hint of fear surfacing in her heart.

He, he already knew... So, he's determined to leave? Leave here, leave me...

Actually... I should have known long ago that a man like him wouldn't be trapped in such a dirty ruin, waiting for death with all the desperate people. He's an eagle, and eagles always fly to the blue sky... This place is too small, it can no longer contain his ambition. From the moment I first saw him, I knew he was definitely not an ordinary person. Heaven has been kind enough to me to let me live with him in this dark ruin for so long.

But... my... my heart... why does it hurt so much...

Having grown up with the man in front of her since childhood, she had forgotten how to live independently. Without him, she might die the next moment.

Lier's face changed several times in an instant. But in the end, she still put on a gentle smile. Putting down the food in her hand, she walked behind Xuetong. A pair of soft, slender fingers gently touched his shoulders and began to massage them.

"So, you've made up your mind..."

"..." Xuetong didn't speak, but the lost look in his pupils deepened, as if shrouded in a fog. "I'll take you with me, Lier."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Lier agreed readily, her beautiful eyes full of charm. Her fingers unknowingly moved to Xuetong's chest, gently kneading it. Soon, she was gratified to hear Xuetong's breathing become heavy.

The room was simple, but it couldn't hide a hint of spring. Lier quickly turned into a snake, a beautiful snake full of wild temptation. The few clothes on her body disappeared in the blink of an eye. Her smooth skin was like silk. If it weren't for the purple spots in many places, Lier's skin would have been enough to ignite a raging fire in any man.

Lier was very confident in her assets. She knew her figure was excellent, especially her beautiful hip line. Many men had been willing to offer her food to satisfy their dark desires. But today, everything was only for the man in front of her.

His breathing became heavier. Lier knew what Xuetong was feeling. She suddenly smiled charmingly at him, and her whole body slid down. Then Xuetong felt his thick shaft enter a warm, narrow place.

"Hmm." Xuetong took a deep breath, suddenly stood up, picked up Lier, and threw her onto the simple wooden bed not far away.

"Hehe." Lier chuckled, sticking out her small tongue to lick the crystal light on her lips, her eyes full of unconcealed spring. "After dinner... are you going to... eat me?"

Xuetong didn't speak, but pounced directly on her. Soon, the room was filled with criminal moans.

Life in the shelter was desperate, and no one would relax. The next morning, Xuetong left his residence early. He was very busy. If he wanted to realize his plan, he had a lot of preparations to make in the next three days.

He scheduled his departure from the shelter before the next high fever. Based on the itching under his armpits, he estimated that "it" in his body would attack within three days, putting him into a state of high fever. During this time, he was extremely weak, and even a child could easily kill him. According to Xuetong's observation, the No. 7 shelter was becoming increasingly uneasy. Outsiders seemed to have their eyes on this place. If he couldn't leave as soon as possible, he might lose his life in the upcoming conflict.

So he had to leave here before he completely lost his combat power.

In fact, this attack was not as terrible as imagined. Judging from the experience of the last attack, although Xuetong would be in great pain during the process, it was precisely when Xuetong's body began to strengthen after it ended. So Xuetong boldly speculated that this attack was not harmful, but was needed to strengthen himself.

Leaving his residence, Xuetong first came to the black market of the shelter. The predecessor of No. 7 shelter was a city, which was very large. There were already many figures shaking on the ground. These scantily clad civilians struggled to wander in every corner of the ruins, trying to find a little legacy left by the pre-civilization era. Compared with food, these things left by the pre-civilization were also very valuable. There was a rumor that a civilian had found a usable weapon and became rich overnight.

Of course, there were not many such lucky ones. Most civilians could only find some metals that were not very corroded and some garbage. Although these things were also valuable, they could not fill their stomachs.

And if there was any place in the shelter that could be called lively, it was only the black market.

The black market here was not a black market in the superficial sense. It was not illegal. In fact, there were basically no laws in this world. The reason it was called a black market was because of its chaos and disorder. This was a place that only recognized money. As long as you had money, you could buy almost anything. Of course, "money" here was not a common currency, but rare metals such as gold and some very rare minerals. Here, precious metals and minerals, as well as weapons left by the pre-civilization, could be used as currency. The goods provided by the black market were even more dazzling, almost everything. From small food and slaves to large weapons and vehicles. There was almost nothing that could not be bought.

Although Xuetong could barely fill his stomach in the No. 7 shelter, he was obviously not qualified to stroll around here. Most of those who could spend here were some bandit groups. They traded their respective gains through the black market.

Fortunately, Xuetong also had some savings. In addition to food, he had also saved some minerals, which were all spoils of war from killing other predators. In this doomsday, the best way not to be eaten by wolves was to become a wolf. Xuetong was obviously well aware of this. However, he was more wary of the bandit groups here. Because the bandit groups had too many weapons, although most of them were some self-made crossbows.

Don't underestimate this kind of weapon. In this doomsday, guns were not uncommon, but they required strong strength to arm. And the price of bullets was not cheap. The price of a magazine of bullets was enough to make anyone worry-free for a month. The crossbow was much better. This kind of self-made crossbow was improved, and its penetrating power was enough to penetrate the scales of mutated people at 50 meters. There was also a twenty-round arrow clip. Bandit groups with this kind of weapon could be called powerful.

Xuetong had walked out of the shelter and knew how dangerous the outside world was. These crossbows were just child's play outside. So if he wanted to survive outside, he had to collect enough weapons and a considerable number of survival props.
