Chapter 183: Frozen Spicy Gluten Snack

Wei Huo met up with Su Xiaoyu’s team after arriving at Area C7. She seemed to be quite famous in Area C7. Many people wanted to trade with her before she could even unload the goods.

Su Xiaoyu shouted, “In three days, we will hand over the goods to the shops of the Maple Leaf Camp in the third market of Area C7! Please go there to trade!”

After Su Xiaoyu told everyone about the situation, the people who wanted to trade returned in disappointment.

In the past, Su Xiaoyu’s caravan would conduct a trade as soon as she arrived in the Soaring Cloud City. Plus, the prices would be relatively cheap. As time went by, her caravan’s fame spread out, and many caravans tried to imitate it.

This was a marketing method. It seemed like her caravan was at a disadvantage, but it created its own brand. It made the shops in the Maple Leaf Camp more famous and made more customers come to shop.

However, Su Xiaoyu did not do that today. She planned to be Wei Huo’s tour guide. At the same time, she assigned three young men to follow them.

A middle-aged man told the three young men, “Remember, don’t let those blind people provoke Wei Huo.”

The three young men nodded. “We understand.”

Su Xiaoyu spoke with emphasis again. “There are people in Zone C who are not afraid of death and provoke others. These people often choose unfamiliar faces. You have to take note of them.”

The three young men nodded continuously. They knew very well that they could not let Wei Huo get angry. They could not tell if Wei Huo was a human or a Great Demon. If he was a Great Demon, it would be foolish to provoke him.

A middle-aged man said, “I will report the situation to the higher-ups. You guys have to hold him back!”

Su Xiaoyu led the three young men to Wei Huo’s side and started explaining the situation in Soaring Cloud City to him. “There is a total of 32 districts in Soaring Cloud City. They are divided into A, B, C, and D. Each district is divided into eight smaller districts. Area A is located at the center of the district. It is a research area. Every neighborhood is in charge of different research projects. There are eight kinds of project topics, such as weapons, plants, animals, and mutations. Zone B is the place where the higher-ups, mutants, scientific researchers, soldiers, rich people, and their family members live. The conditions there are better than the ones here. Many residents of Area C are pushing themselves into Area B.”

Wei Huo looked at the tall wall separating Area B and Area C. On one side of the wall was a bustling city, while the other side was a dirty and dilapidated slum.

Although the wall divided people into two types, it increased their competitiveness indefinitely. If one wanted to enter Area B and live a better life, one had to work hard. One had to either become a mutant or a soldier, constantly earn money, or show their intelligence to become a researcher.

Su Xiaoyu started introducing Zone D. She said, “Area D is beyond the armored city wall behind us. It also has eight smaller areas. Guard troops are stationed in each area. If powerful creatures attack the Soaring Cloud City, they will have to stand up and resist. There are all sorts of high-tech weapons hidden in the city walls. They are very powerful!”

Wei Huo was a little surprised. “You built such a huge city within five years?”

This was really shocking. How could the city and its armored walls take only five years to build? According to Su Xiaoyu’s introduction, the wall had been erected three years ago.

Su Xiaoyu explained, “This is a robotic reproduction core obtained by the Savior, Ma Tengyun. Only a few people have seen this core before. It’s said that it’s a super technology that descended from outer space. As long as one throws in materials and energy, one can continuously produce nanorobots. Then, one can plan ahead of time. These nanomachines will automatically complete the construction of buildings. That’s how armored walls are built, so there doesn’t seem to be a single crack.”

Wei Huo was sure that Ma Tengyun was definitely a human at the Legendary stage. Otherwise, he would not have been able to obtain such powerful technology by chance. Of course, since he had built such a huge city in just five years and managed it so orderly, his methods were not simple either.

Wei Huo told Su Xiaoyu, “You’re also a mutant. Aren’t you going to consider entering Area B?”

Su Xiaoyu shook her head. “My ability is too ordinary. I can only communicate with animals. They won’t value me.”

Under Su Xiaoyu’s lead, they walked toward the third market in Area C7. There were many pedestrians on the street. The pedestrians looked at the birds and coffins behind Wei Huo and thought to themselves, I’ve never seen anyone strolling down the street with a coffin.

However, there were a lot of weird people and creatures on the main road. Not far away from Wei Huo was a huge lizard that was pulling goods. As the surroundings changed, the lizard’s expression would change. Many children followed the lizard and thought that it was very interesting.

Wei Huo followed Su Xiaoyu to the third market and heard the voices of sellers.

“A packet of Frozen Spicy Gluten Snack. Price: 50 silver coins. First come, first served!”

“A packet of Frozen Crispy Noodle Snack. Price: 30 silver coins. There are only 10 packs. While stocks last.”

As soon as Wei Huo walked through the market gate, he heard a loud vendor shouting. He was selling snacks that were sealed with ice. The other vendors were shouting as well, but none of them were loud.

Wei Huo asked, “Is your market used to sell snacks?”

Su Xiaoyu facepalmed. “No, he’s the only one selling snacks. He’s been shouting all year round.”

The peddler looked young. He was about 25 or 26 years old. He shouted again, “Nongfu mineral water; comes with a plastic bottle! It can store most liquids. It’s essential for home and travel. There is a total of 40 bottles. Come while stocks last.”

Wei Huo was curious. He walked over and asked, “Brother, has anyone bought your snacks?”

That person had found a stone block somewhere and sat down at the entrance of the market. He had set up a small stall. The stall was filled with ice, and different snacks were frozen in the ice.

He glanced at Wei Huo and said with a smile, “Why wouldn’t anyone buy them? Do you not know? Not only are these snacks valuable for nutrition, but they’re also valuable enough to collect. The recipe for these snacks has disappeared, and it’s impossible for them to be produced again. As time goes by, these things will definitely become more valuable. Many people will not be able to buy them even if they fight for them.”

Wei Huo looked around the market and realized that the merchants there were selling normal items. The most common item was food, including animal flesh, bones, fruit, and vegetables. Some people also sold ordinary items such as flower pots, tools, cold weapons, and spare parts.

Some larger shops would sell minerals, mounts, and creatures that could transport goods.

However, the fellow at the door was very unique. He sold all kinds of snacks.

The old man shouted again, “In three days, I’ll be holding an auction in the slums of Area C7. I invite everyone to come and bid!”
