Chapter 9 A Chance Encounter

At home, in the narrow living room, Zhang Ping's whole body turned into hovering metal ice crystals, and then his figure condensed and instantly turned into a metal body.

"Wow! Evolution!"

Zhang Yanyan jumped up excitedly, and took a spoon and knocked around Zhang Ping, only to hear the jingle sounds endlessly.

After a while, Xiao Douding jumped to his mother's side: "Mom, mom, brother has really become a big hero!"

There was tears in the corner of my mother's eyes, and a bright smile was over her weathered face.

When cooking, I dug an extra spoonful of oil and half a spoonful of salt. The aroma of the meal filled the narrow house.

Since my father disappeared, my mother has replaced her former big house with a small house. This not only makes a few thousand yuan more, but also reduces the expenses of property expenses.

Even in the doomsday, property fees must be paid. In fact, it is considered as protection fees and taxes inside the high wall.

Xiao Douding circled around Zhang Ping, then lay on the table, staring at Zhang Ping without blinking.

"Yanyan, what are you looking at?"

"Brother, my mother said that after becoming an evolutionist, my brother's illness will be cured."

Zhang Ping turned into a flesh-and-blood body again, took out the health bracelet and put it on for about a minute. The health bracelet gave a healthy green, but light green.

“Why is it light green?”

"But at least it's not red." Zhang Ping took off the bracelet and took it to Zhang Yanyan's wrist.

After one minute of detection, it showed a light green color, but it was much thicker than Zhang Ping's color.

"Brother is not as healthy as me." Xiao Douding had a worried look in his eyes.

"Ha..." Zhang Ping rubbed Xiao Douding's head, and love flashed in his eyes, "It will be fine if I wait a few days, but I'm completely recovering."

A moment later, my mother brought two eggs, "Come on, one for each person."

Zhang Ping put the eggs next to his mother, "Mom, eat them. I ate them in the team this morning and I am not hungry now."

Ordinary people don’t have the saying that three meals a day.

It’s all a meal in the morning and evening, and the day passes.

My mother thought about it and placed the egg in front of Xiaodou Ding.

Xiao Douding looked at the two eggs and his eyes shone. But after a moment, he ran to his room, ran out again after a while, and took out an empty eggshell with an egg yolk inside.

"Brother, this is what I stayed last night. You eat this."

"good."

Taking the eggshell and looking at the complete egg yolk inside, Zhang Ping took a deep breath.

‘Lunch’ ended, Zhang Ping took out 28 yuan, “Mom, let’s go buy things, this is the reward after a successful job transfer.”

Mother nodded.

After changing into a slightly cleaner dress, the mother pulled Zhang Ping and Zhang Yanyan away with a proud look on her face.

The neighbors came to ask, and the mother said with a smile: Pingping has joined the team and has successfully transferred his position.

Various praises came from all around.

After walking about a hundred meters, I saw a family with white cloth hanging on it and a middle-aged couple with pale hair crying loudly.

The crowds around were far away, and there was fear on their faces.

That fear is imprinted in the bones.

There was a coffin in front of it. The coffin had been opened, revealing the twisted and ferocious metal debris inside. Zhang Ping was a little familiar with the appearance of the metal debris.

Next to the coffin, there were two men and women wearing team uniforms standing silently.

The smile on Zhang Ping's face was instantly gone.

"Brother...why is there metal in the coffin?" Although Zhang Yanyan was also afraid, she hid behind Zhang Ping and carefully popped out half of her head.

Before Zhang Ping could speak, his mother spoke first, "Yanyan, that was infected and mutated by the source species."

Xiao Douding tilted his head and thought, "Brother, is that right?"

Zhang Ping nodded, "That's right. Let's go, Yanyan, there is nothing good to watch here."

Zhang Ping didn't want to explain what happened during the transfer process, for fear of scaring his mother and sister.

It was not until the market that Xiao Douding had a smile on his face. But as he walked, Xiao Douding stared in a certain direction and was in a daze.

It was a piece of bright red candied haws, surrounded by several children.

The person selling candied haws was an old man pushing a wooden wheelbarrow.

"Brother..." Xiao Douding grabbed Zhang Ping's hand.

My mother gritted her teeth and walked to the candied haws to buy a bunch.

"A penny, a string? I remember it used to be 8 cents."

The old man smiled bitterly: "Big girl, that's the price before the New Year.

The price of sugar has increased this year. I’ve sold it for a cent, but I’m not as much as I earned last year.”

Zhang Ping came over and said directly, "Is it okay to spend 11 strings per dollar?"

"Okay." The old man seemed very reluctant.

"12 pieces." Mother took the conversation.

The old man smiled bitterly again, "Big girl, 12 players will lose money, so I really can't sell them."

My mother turned her eyes around and stared at half of the candied haws that tasted the remaining candied haws, "Then count this one."

"Why……"

After a while, Zhang Ping and Zhang Yanyan each had a candied haw. The mother bit half of the candied haws, and the family of three went straight to the market and began to purchase grain.

I bought a little bit of rice, flour, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other condiments. In this way, I had already used 20 yuan.

My mother spent Sanmao again to take the bus and prepare to take all the items home.

The coins of Jiao and Fen are copper, but the special metal is embedded in it, just like the special metal used in "Yuan".

Zhang Ping was also about to go home, but suddenly saw a familiar figure, Huang Lijun.

Zhang Ping was about to come forward to say hello, but found that Huang Lijun was protruding his head and sneaking.

What is this guy going to do?

Zhang Ping was curious and thought about it for a while and said to his mother and sister that he saw his friend and went over to say hello.

When his mother and sister left, Zhang Ping followed quietly; with the cover of the crowd at the market, Zhang Ping followed leisurely.

More than ten minutes later, Huang Lijun actually walked around the market for most of the time, and finally came to a stall, looked around the stall for a while, and then followed the stall owner to a store behind.

Zhang Ping's curiosity became even stronger.

After looking at the location of the store, Huang Lijun walked into a room and Zhang Ping entered the next door. Next door was a sold finished clothes.

Zhang Ping asked for a fitting room, carried a lot of clothes in, locked the door, and transformed.

Instantly transformed into a metal body, and his hearing sensitivity quickly increased by one level.

Put your ear against the wall, and the sound from next door came.

There are ears in the partition wall!

Huang Lijun's voice was very low, and his normal ears would definitely not be able to hear clearly. But Zhang Ping has transformed now.

Gradually, Zhang Ping's face became solemn. Sure enough, something was wrong with Huang Lijun.

When we met for the first time yesterday, Zhang Ping felt that Huang Lijun was too clean and didn't look like the second generation of Mud Legs.

The voice on the opposite side was relatively low, and Zhang Ping heard intermittently, but he still heard a lot of keywords:

Heart of Steel, half an hour, underground hall, life-threatening, old man, cruel and ruthless.

After a while of conversation, Huang Lijun's voice suddenly became louder and he felt faintly angry, "What's wrong with my brother? I know you have walkie-talkies here and you can cross the high wall. I want to talk to my brother."

"certainly."

A stranger fed a few times, as if he was adjusting the frequency, and then turned into Huang Lijun's voice: "Brother, how are you?"

The voice was very low, and this time Zhang Ping couldn't hear it either. After a while, Zhang Ping heard Huang Lijun's angry hum, footsteps, and slamming the door.

Zhang Ping immediately turned back into a flesh-and-blooded body and began to try on his clothes.
