In the afternoon, Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying left Lin Hao and Du Yuanxing in the Mission Hall and went to the market.

Every region had its own market. Of course, when the market in one’s region failed to satisfy oneself, they were allowed to visit the markets in other regions.

Administration centers were usually located in commercial buildings, and the Mission Hall occupied a floor in the administration building. The office of public security and other offices were all located in the administration buildings.

So, without a doubt, the market was also located in the administration building, usually on floor one to three. As the base was densely-populated, even the old factory buildings and business streets had now become living spaces.

Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying went down to the market on the first floor. Many people had set up stalls there, waiting for people to trade with them. From furniture pieces to cleaning supplies, one could find all sorts of useful things that were selling well there. Apart from those, clothes, shoes, jewelry, beddings could also be seen there.

Many of the merchandises here were collected by superpowered squads from the outside by taking risks. The people who weren’t willing to hand their harvests into the base were allowed to do free trades here.

Clothes, shoes and accessories were mostly what girls were interested in. Normally, not many people would buy accessories like jewels.

Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying were mainly looking for clothes and shoes.

People could find both brand-new clothes and old ones here. The new ones were surely very expensive; the older, the cheaper.

Following behind Lin Wenwen and Long Qingying, were three men wearing camouflage suits and carrying rifles. They were both pretty. Most of the people in the market were extra polite to them, but there were still exceptions.

“This pair of shoes is in my size. I want them.” On the second floor, Lin Wenwen stopped before a stall and pointed at a pair of canvas shoes.

The stall owner was an about thirty years old man. He was lazily sitting in a chair, but when the two young ladies stopped before his stall, the look in his eyes changed a little. After all, Lin Wenwen was good-looking, seeming to be gentle and quiet.

He immediately stood up, looking at Lin Wenwen’s young face obsessively while chuckling with a slightly wicked look in his eyes, “Ahyaya, pretty lady, you’re so beautiful! I wonder if you have a boyfriend or not.”

As this man rudely asked her if she had a boyfriend, Lin Wenwen erased that faint smile on her face. She glanced at that man expressionlessly. The look in the man’s eyes made her uncomfortable, so she no longer wanted to purchase that pair of shoes.

“Qingying, let’s go look in other places,” she turned and held Long Qingying’s hands, prepared to leave.

“Oi… Don’t leave. Let’s chat. What’s the matter?” As the two girls prepared to leave, the man behind the stall quickly walked up to them, raising his arms to block their way.

“Get out of the way!” Long Qingying said unreservedly with icy-cold voice.

The man lewdly looked at Long Qingying from head to toe, then shook his head and showed dislike. “You have a good body shape, but this face of yours is too sour.” He clicked his tongue and said, “You’re not pretty, so why are you pretending to be so proud? No matter how proud you are, you’ll still be crying underneath men, won’t you?”

Lin Wenwen frowned slightly. Long Qingying directly raised a hand and pulled out half of the katana which was carried on her back while the frosty vibe from her charged at the man.

The man took two steps backward with surprise, but didn’t seem to panic. Instead, he said in amazement, “Ouch, don’t always pull out your blade, okay? You’re not allowed to kill in the base, and you have to be aware of that.”

As he stepped backward, Lin Wenwen immediately prepared to avoid him and leave.

“Oi, pretty lady, don’t leave! You have to know that I already have my eyes on you, so you need to tell me if you have a man or not. If you do, break up with him now,” The man instantly stepped over and stopped Lin Wenwen.

Seeing that, Wei Jingchen, who had been following behind Lin Wenwen, quickly walked up and pulled the man away.

“Sorry, please step aside…” The tall and sturdy Wei Jingchen would make any ordinary man feel pressure. However, that man didn’t take him seriously. He slightly raised his chin and said scornfully, “What? A commoner? You think you’re amazing because you’re tall? You think I’m gonna be afraid of you because you have a gun?”

While speaking, he abruptly raised a hand to push Wei Jingchen.

Wei Jingchen nimbly dodged his hand, then quickly turned his body and neatly pointed his gun at that man while cocking it.

Lin Wenwen wanted no trouble. She took a step backward, then turned around and walked in the opposite direction. They could always leave from the other side.

As Wei Jingchen stepped in and Lin Wenwen prepared to leave, that man had a sharp beam of light flashing across his eyes. Abruptly, he reached out a hand and grasped Wei Jingchen’s gun which was pointing at him, then twisted it before Wei Jingchen could react. He was many times faster than the latter.

Next, the gun slipped out of Wei Jingchen’s hands and dropped onto the ground. In the moment when Wei Jingchen lost his gun and was panicked, the man lunged forward and threw a spin kick directly at his stomach.

Thud! Wei Jingchen, who was over six feet tall, was sent flying three or four meters away, thudding against a pillar.

It happened too fast that no one else could react. They just watched the tall and strong Wei Jingchen being easily kicked away by that man. The people around didn’t say anything, but stood at a distance and watched quietly.

Long Qingying immediately pulled her out her blade.

So, after kicking Wei Jingchen away, when the man steadied himself and turned back, he found the tip of a blade against his throat.

He stopped moving, but was wearing a careless grin. “Ouch! Do you dare to cut my throat? Do you know who I am? I’m telling you, if you dare to do any harm to me, you’ll die soon.”

Long Qingying narrowed her eyes and prepared to move her hand. However, someone suddenly clasped her hand to stop her from cutting through this obviously nasty man.

Lin Wenwen stopped her while saying, “Qingying, calm down!”

At that point, that man grinned at Lin Wenwen and said, “Ahyaya, I won’t ask you if you have a boyfriend again. You sleep with me tonight, then I’ll give you this pair of shoes for free. I’ll even give you clothes. You can choose any one of these. How about that?”

Lin Wenwen didn’t say anything, but held Long Qingying’s hand and walked toward Wei Jingchen. This time, that man didn’t try to stop her again, but stared at her back with an aggressive look.
