Chapter 570: Seeing Happy Family Again

The base's nightlife was vibrant and colorful, with the excitement still going strong. Even ordinary people who didn't have a single coin on them were willing to come out and stroll around after finishing their miserably awful dinner.

Many people's eyes reddened as they wandered.

They thought about their lives before the apocalypse.

Maybe before doomsday, they would also take a stroll with their families after dinner.

But now, the family they once had was reduced to just themselves alone.

Chen Ye and his group clearly looked like Superhumans, and ordinary survivors would consciously make way for them whenever they saw Superhumans approaching.

Chu Che was also in a good mood, his eyes scanning through the crowd.

He started calculating in his mind - if he used the Eavesdropping Radio tonight, he could probably pick up quite a few secrets.

He'd already grown tired of listening to all the little secrets within the convoy.

With so much fresh blood here, there was bound to be plenty of new material.

Gong Yong's eyes, meanwhile, kept sweeping over the stalls, taking in all the mechanical equipment that dated back to before the apocalypse.

He even spotted many of the latest phones, computers, and tablets from the year the apocalypse first broke out.

These things held no value for others, but for him, they were extremely useful.

"Boss, how do I trade for this laptop?"

Gong Yong pointed at a top-of-the-line 16-inch Fruit Book laptop.

This computer would have cost around twenty thousand before the apocalypse, with the fully-loaded version even reaching thirty thousand.

There were also several other brands of laptops next to it.

Whether desktops, laptops, or tablets,

there were plenty of them.

Even more varied than the Fruit Phones that Iron Lion had collected earlier.

Clearly, the owner of this stall had passed by a computer mall or a Fruit Store while scavenging supplies before.

Back in the day, many people would scrimp and save just to buy one of these things.

But now, when people passed by this stall, they only gave it a quick glance before moving on.

Behind the stall was a young survivor with a gaunt, sallow face and a listless expression.

When he saw someone asking about the price, he immediately stood up and enthusiastically introduced himself.

"Sir Superhuman, these are all high-end goods, you know..."

Blah blah blah...

In the end, Gong Yong only gave up one pack of crispy noodles, plus a Snickers bar and half a bag of cookies, in exchange for a fully-loaded laptop and the latest tablet.

And for that, the sallow-faced young man was absolutely thrilled.

He even threw in a 14-inch Fruit Book laptop as a bonus.

This actually made Gong Yong briefly wonder if he had overpaid.

Ding Dong was also in the crowd.

Though this woman was usually quite reserved, she wasn't about to pass up such a lively scene.

Ding Dong noticed something different about one particular stall.

In front of this stall were displayed several metal-crafted prosthetic limbs.

These limbs were interesting - they looked like mechanical creations, but there was something different about them.

If she had to describe it, they seemed to be cast from some special metal, and the surfaces of this metal were engraved with special talismans.

Some kind of magical energy would occasionally flow across the surface of these talismans, giving them an almost divine quality.

Ding Dong only had her left arm now, and for this reason, her combat power had been severely diminished.

Gong Yong had once planned to make a mechanical arm for Ding Dong, but so far, nothing had come of it.

"These are my latest creations. They can replace normal human limbs!"

"Miss, would you like to try one?"

Behind this stall stood a hunched, somewhat gloomy old woman.

The old woman was completely shrouded in a cloak, looking like the kind of witch from Western movies and TV shows.

Her entire being exuded an air of mystery.

Ding Dong hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist and picked up a right-arm prosthetic.

The old woman trembled as she held the limb, helping Ding Dong attach it to the stump of her left arm.

Ding Dong felt a cool sensation at the stump of her left arm.

The patterns on the surface of the right-arm prosthetic flickered faintly, with energy flowing back and forth through these patterns.

Ding Dong could sense some kind of magical power, as if her right arm had returned.

Within less than a minute, the look of surprise on Ding Dong's face grew heavier and heavier.

She raised the patterned right arm in front of her eyes.

Ding Dong tried making a fist and doing gestures.

It felt just like her original right arm.

Zhou Xiaoxiao, who had been following Ding Dong the whole time, was also astonished.

In such a lively atmosphere, even Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn't help but come out.

For this reason, Ding Dong and Zhou Xiaoxiao had drifted a little farther away from Chen Ye and the others.

"Master..."

Zhou Xiaoxiao was also thrilled. If her master could recover to her former level!

"How much does this one cost?"

Ding Dong looked at the old woman in front of her with anticipation.

The old woman chuckled hoarsely, looking up at Ding Dong. "Cheap, just six thousand gold coins!"

When she heard this price, even though Ding Dong didn't usually pay much attention to Silent Gold Coins, she knew this was an astronomical figure.

Ding Dong sighed regretfully, then removed the right arm and placed it back on the stall.

The old woman asked in surprise, "What's wrong, don't you like it?"

Ding Dong shook her head. "Too expensive, I can't afford it."

If it were Chen Ye, this wouldn't be a matter of whether he could afford it; he would probably find some other way.

But the one who needed this was Ding Dong, not Chen Ye.

Zhou Xiaoxiao was anxious, but there was nothing she could do; she had even less money.

So she could only ask one more question: "If, and I mean if, we manage to save up enough money, where can we find you?"

The old woman chuckled again. "I'm a Superhuman of the Alchemy Sequence. If you want to find me, you can try looking on the Sky Whale. There are many Alchemy Sequence Superhumans there!"

"Sky Whale..."

Ding Dong's heart skipped a beat.

She still remembered how, back at the Sea of Chaotic Graves, she had seen her own tombstone, which read that she was buried in the Sky Whale Graveyard.

Sky Whale Graveyard...

But let's not dwell on Ding Dong's state of mind for now.

Chen Ye, at this moment, felt like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar.

There were many good things at those stalls, even if they weren't as precious as the items in the Silent Council's shops.

Still, there were quite a few nice things.

Never mind the various expired foods - just Wondrous Items alone, Chen Ye had spotted several.

Even if their rankings weren't high,

they were still considered good finds.

But the quotes on these Wonders were sky-high, and even with his remaining one hundred and eighty Silent Gold Coins, he couldn't afford any.

Xu Lina quietly followed behind Chen Ye.

Many things caught her interest too, but she was even poorer than Chen Ye, so she definitely couldn't afford any.

Xu Lina also didn't expect Chen Ye to buy anything for her.

Lai Baiwei followed behind her older cousin, occasionally making a fuss over familiar things she spotted.

She had some supplies too, but she clearly wasn't willing to waste them on random purchases.

Just then, the sound of an electric guitar with a strong rhythmic beat suddenly came from ahead.

It was coming from the direction of the stage in front.

Along with the powerful electric guitar sounds came bursts of colorful stage lights.

The lights illuminated the entire night sky.

Many people turned their heads in unison toward the stage ahead.

This stage was the wooden platform they had seen when they first entered the base.

And now...

Chen Ye and the others looked over.

A girl in a white dress, with a head of sharp, carefree black hair, stood on the stage holding a microphone.

Her body gently swayed with the rhythm of the surrounding music.

That head of carefree black hair also swayed gently with the beat, as mischievous as a midnight sprite.

The originally crude stage had suddenly become colorful and dazzling.

Because of this girl's presence, this place had become radiant, just like a live concert scene from those singers.

Behind the girl, there were even several guitarists, a drummer, and a bassist.

These figures were transparent, seemingly not real humans, but mere phantom projections.

Was this... a domain?

Chen Ye was slightly startled, and he recognized the girl in the white dress.

She was none other than Lin Qingge from the "Happy Family" convoy.
