Han Yang raised his chin haughtily, looking at Guo Xiaobei with his red face and lowered head. Suddenly, he found it rather interesting and leaned over to sit beside Guo Xiaobei. "You... Do you have a secret crush on me?"

  "Cough cough..." Guo Xiaobei lifted his head in shock. "I..." How could you have such a miraculous idea...

  "Don't think about denying it... I've already noticed. You've been secretly looking at me!" Han Yang nodded and finalized Guo Xiaobei's "crime".

  "Definitely not. You've misunderstood me," Guo Xiaobei raised his head and gave a bitter smile, quickly stating. If you weren't a supernatural being and my natural enemy, I wouldn't even spare you a second glance...

  "Really?" Han Yang suddenly moved closer until their noses were almost touching. "Then why is your face red?"

  "No, no... You've misunderstood. I'm just hot... It's hot..."

  In the freezing cold of the twelfth lunar month, he was actually sweating from the heat.

  Han Yang nodded. "Your body is indeed quite hot!"

  Guo Xiaobei didn't even know where to look. If someone else had said such a thing, he would surely have rushed forward to beat the person up, stepped on them, and then warned them handsomely: Be careful with your words next time.

  However, all these were just fantasies at present because the person in front of him was his natural enemy, Lord Han, who was much stronger than him... The previous assumptions didn't hold at all!

  He had always kept a distant and non-offending attitude towards Han Yang, but now Han Yang kept getting closer to him, closer and closer... until he was pushed against the wall... Being forced into such a situation by someone younger than him...

  "I have something to do. Lord Han, you can continue sitting here..." Guo Xiaobei didn't hesitate to stand up, patted the dust on the wall that had stuck to him, and walked towards Xing Fang's direction.

  If he didn't go over there... he felt like his chastity wouldn't be safe... Did Lord Han have some special hobbies or something?

  Han Yang didn't chase after him, nor did he get angry. He just sat there, looking at Guo Xiaobei's back with dissatisfaction, muttering something under his breath.

  Although Guo Xiaobei didn't turn his head back, his ears were pricked up. Hearing that Han Yang didn't follow him, he felt a bit more at ease in his heart. He swore to himself that he would never get close to this person again!

  Xing Fang and the others had already reached the third place in the queue. Looking at the time, it was just a little after four o'clock in the afternoon. There was definitely enough time. Guo Xiaobei was a bit happy. Finally, he could get away from the girls and go on a rampage!

  Xing Fang's mood was different from Guo Xiaobei's. His sister, whom he had watched grow up, was about to be separated from him. Although it was just separated by a wall, it wouldn't be that easy to meet in the future.

  Tian Tian was even more uneasy. She had originally firmly believed that her brother would always be by her side, and Xing Fang was queuing behind her, which made her believe it even more. But after hearing what her brother said when Brother Guo Xiaobei sent Sister Jin over, she suddenly realized that her brother had never planned to live in the base with her at all. No wonder he had been constantly giving her instructions just now, and no wonder Brother Guo Xiaobei didn't come to queue...

  Thinking that she would be separated from her brother in the future, Tian Tian couldn't help lowering her head. By the time the careless Xing Fang noticed, Tian Tian's eyes were almost swollen from crying.

  Xing Fang knew how to love and spoil his sister, but he had never been good at coaxing a crying sister. He began to feel at a loss.

  Jin Feichen walked past Xing Fang and gently comforted Tian Tian. By the time Guo Xiaobei arrived, Tian Tian had basically stopped crying.

  Guo Xiaobei looked at Tian Tian with red eyes and then at Xing Fang, who looked helpless and reluctant. He was somewhat speechless.

  Seeing that Tian Tian and Jin Feichen were about to enter, Xing Fang suddenly pulled Jin Feichen aside, carefully gave her a few instructions, and then took out the brain nuclei on him. He kept a part for himself and then divided the rest into two halves. The larger half was for Tian Tian, and the smaller half was for Jin Feichen.

  Guo Xiaobei quite understood Xing Fang's behavior. Not to mention that their relationship with Jin Feichen had been quite good along the way, and it was only right to take care of her. Just the fact that Jin Feichen claimed to know ancient martial arts was enough reason for them to win her over.

  The two girls, without a man to take care of them, living alone in the base whose specific environment was unknown, no one could feel at ease. But if one of them had a strong ability to defend herself, the situation would be completely different.

  And according to Jin Feichen, she had such an ability. Whether it was Xing Fang or Guo Xiaobei, they were quite relieved to let her take care of Tian Tian.

  However, except for the brain nuclei used to pay Tian Tian's entry fee, Xing Fang didn't have many left. The ones that could be given to Jin Feichen and Tian Tian were only about forty or so. Xing Fang kept about ten for himself. He needed these to buy some water and food. Although brain nuclei were valuable, they couldn't be eaten as food.

  Guo Xiaobei watched Jin Feichen and Tian Tian enter the testing room, and then he pulled the sentimental Xing Fang to the side where the materials were sold outside the base. This seemingly careless man unexpectedly had quite delicate feelings. Guo Xiaobei had no choice but to look at the big sign outside the materials sales point by himself.

  On the big sign were the values of various materials, and basically, the primary brain nuclei were used as the unit of price. At the top were the most basic food and water. However, unlike the basic food supplied in the base, there were all kinds of food here. Although it couldn't compare with that before the end of the world, it was still quite good.

  Actually, the base also supplied these kinds of food, but most people who entered had lost a large amount of materials and still needed to support their lives in the future, so they were reluctant to eat these.

  In fact, people who were struggling outside were also reluctant. They worked hard to kill zombies and accumulate brain nuclei, but actually, they just wanted to enter the base and live a better life.

  However, Guo Xiaobei didn't have such concerns. He had never thought of entering the base, and keeping the brain nuclei didn't have much use for him. Although they could be exchanged for survival points, what the survival points were used for was still waiting for the system to upgrade and develop.

  He had plenty of primary brain nuclei, and he even had several second-level ones. Looking at the things on the sign that he hadn't eaten for a long time, Guo Xiaobei started swallowing hard.

  Unlike him, Xing Fang carefully studied the various weapons provided below.

  There were three windows at the sales point, but there weren't many people queuing. Mainly during this time period, most people were outside the city killing zombies. Generally, they would only come back to the city at night to replenish their supplies or buy some food to fill their stomachs.

  In the end, Xing Fang bought twenty steamed buns. For these steamed buns, only five could be exchanged for one brain nucleus. Although they were just the most ordinary ones filled with Chinese cabbage and a little minced meat, the aroma still made Xing Fang almost drool. The buns were quite big and much more tempting than the steamed buns that could be bought with two for one common currency.

  Although there were weapons too, Xing Fang looked at them again and again but still couldn't bear to buy them in the end. Not knowing how many brain nuclei he could get tomorrow, the remaining six brain nuclei were put into the innermost pocket of his clothes.

  As for Guo Xiaobei, he was much more extravagant. He ordered all the things he wanted to eat one by one along the sign, while wiping his saliva suspiciously as he ordered, which made the staff inside look at him frequently.

  Fortunately, the sales point and the testing place were quite far apart, and there weren't many people here. Otherwise, if people saw Guo Xiaobei being so extravagant, their first reaction would probably be envy, and the second reaction would be to rob him!
