SRTT Chapter 57.1

Judging from Zhou Xiaoran’s tone, this place should have some history.

Ruan Ning smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll go with you today to broaden my horizons more.”

Zhou Xiaoran felt embarrassed: “It’s actually a black market. But this place is a bit dangerous. Don’t buy anything when you go there. Let’s just go watch.”

Ruan Ning became even more curious and agreed.

Zhou Xiaoran then took Ruan Ning away from the office building market.

It was already 11 o’clock in the evening, but the nightlife had just begun.

They took many twists and turns along the way. Ruan Ning was unfamiliar with the city and had no idea where she was.

Suddenly, Zhou Xiaoran said, “Here we are. This is it.”

Ruan looked over and found that this should be the former commercial plaza, and in front of her was a seven-floor shopping mall.

Zhou Xiaoran took her to the stairs, but not upstairs, it was downstairs.

“This used to be an underground shopping mall.” Zhou Xiaoran explained.

“My sister brought me here twice. I have an invitation card.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ruan Ning saw five big men guarding the door downstairs.

Zhou Xiaoran showed her invitation card and took out half a pack of cigarettes: “This is our admission deposit.”

One of the big men said, “Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Zhou. Don’t forget to get the cigarettes from us when you leave.”

Zhou Xiaoran said ‘Hmm’.

The two of them entered the underground mall. It was pitch black inside and they couldn’t see anything.

Zhou Xiaoran fished out a lighter from her pocket and said, “We need to continue walking down. There are two floors of underground parking lots below. The black market is on the bottom floor.”

When they reached the third underground floor, the temperature dropped significantly.

In fact, the temperature in this kind of place was more suitable for living, but the road surface had been soaked by water for a long time, making landslides prone to occur.

Officials would not choose such a place to build a shelter.

Zhou Xiaoran pushed open the heavy door in front of her, and Ruan Ning squinted her eyes.

The reason why it was bright was because someone inside was using a flashlight, which attracted attention in the dark space.

It wasn’t as lively inside as the office building market, with people gathered in groups of three or four.

The surrounding environment was only simply cleaned up, and there were traces left by the flood. The overall environment was a mess.

Zhou Xiaoran lowered her voice and said, “There are all kinds of businesses here. We have to be careful.”

Ruan Ning nodded.

They came to a stall with candles lit. The stall owner was smoking with a cage next to him.

Ruan Ning saw six or seven mice in the cage.

Seeing the two little girls, the stall owner smiled and said, “How about this? Authentic fresh meat, only 20 catties of compressed biscuits for one.”

Ruan Ning quickly pulled Zhou Xiaoran away.

Zhou Xiaoran said: “Have you ever eaten rat meat? Our boss is planning to start a rat breeding business, which may become bigger and stronger in the future.”

Ruan Ning couldn’t stand it, even though there were all kinds of weird foods in the novel: “We need to pay attention to the hygiene of these animals, or they might get plague and be doomed.”

“My sister said the same thing.” Zhou Xiaoran said.

“But our boss really wants to try it.”

They continued forward and saw people selling all kinds of things. There was not only rice and salt, but also men and women dancing.

There were the most people here, and some people even gave rewards with compressed biscuits.

Ruan Ning watched for a while and was pulled away by Zhou Xiaoran.

Seeing her blush, Ruan Ning felt amused: “Xiaoran, there’s nothing particularly rare in here.”

Zhou Xiaoran pulled her again: “Let’s go. There are rare goods over there.”

Following Zhou Xiaoran, Ruan Ning slowly went deeper into the parking lot. There were still many flooded cars here, and only the space for people to stand was cleared.

Zhou Xiaoran introduced: “This place has just been opened not long ago. It mainly sells… Well, things that are not easy to sell outside.”

“The reason there is such a place is that someone from Tomorrow Base came and said that they wanted to exchange supplies with us.”

Ruan Ning’s eyes lit up: “Tomorrow Base?”

It’s been less than a month since the flood, and people from the neighboring city are already coming to ‘breakthrough Guandong’?

Fortunately, she met Zhou Xiaoran today, otherwise, Ruan Ning would not have known at all.

It really broadened her horizons.

“Yes, it’s called Tomorrow Base.” Zhou Xiaoran said.

“Although I don’t understand what a base is either.”

“Our city still has the government in charge, but the outside world has become a mess. I heard from my sister that many private bases like this have been established in the neighboring city, where people are bought and sold, and street fighting occurs.”
