Chapter 246: Chapter 246 Buying Him

She also really wanted to invest in this auto shop!!

But reason brought her back, she neither knew how to repair cars, nor did she have any cars to sell, investing here was too unrealistic.

“If only we had a Metal Element Ability User right now,”

Ren Feipeng popped up from behind, within their group, Ban Xiaobo was Wind Element, Gao Lei was Fire Element, and the other three were ordinary people. Having a Metal Element Ability User would have made repairing cars much more convenient.

“Or should I let a Zombie bite me, maybe then I could evolve a Special Ability,” Tian Liao said jokingly.

They had heard that during the last transfer of Survivors at the base, one of the Guard Squad Members was bitten by a Zombie, but not only did he not turn into a Zombie, when he woke up, he had even developed Ice-Element Special Abilities!

This news made the ordinary people in the base envious, many wished they could be bitten by a Zombie too, but with this one in a thousand chance, no one dared to risk their life to try it.

Su Jin had also heard about this, and at that time, they guessed it must be Chen Hai who had drunk Spatial Water. Unexpectedly, he really hadn’t turned into a Zombie, but this was actually a piece of good news. Chen Hai had gotten injured while trying to protect his teammates, and it turned out that he had actually gained a fortune out of this misfortune.

“Forget it, if you turn into a Zombie, then who will cook for us in the future,”

Guo Chao immediately retorted. Their group had already divided the work very clearly, and although Tian Liao’s cooking wasn’t very tasty, it was still much better than the few who couldn’t even boil noodles.

While Lu Hao and Su Jin were chatting with Ban Xiaobo and a few others in the auto shop, some people came over to look at the second-hand cars parked nearby, seemingly planning to form a team to go out too.

Ren Feipeng and his group immediately went over to them, enthusiastically describing the conditions inside and outside of the cars.

Su Jin couldn’t help but sigh, it seems that even a pre-Apocalypse specialized skill could still be used to scrape by during the Apocalypse.

“Miss, I want to ask, is your auto shop hiring?” a man’s voice came over.

Su Jin turned her head to look; it was a middle-aged man with a big smile on his face. Behind him were several dirty boys and girls, they appeared to be of varying ages, but without exception, their wrists were all tied up with rope.

Seeing Su Jin frown at the children’s wrists, the middle-aged man hurriedly explained, “We have many children at home, I’m afraid they might get lost when I take them out, this is to prevent them from straying.”

“We’re hiring, but not the people you bring, you can leave!”

Ban Xiaobo stood in front of Su Jin and Lu Hao, looking unfriendly as he tried to send the man away.

But the middle-aged man nudged a girl behind him, seemingly signaling something to her.

The girl looked to be only seven or eight years old, even smaller than Mao Qiqi, she shivered and stepped forward, lifting a dirty little face to Ban Xiaobo and said, “Brother, brother please pity me, take me, I only need 10 Crystal Cores, and you won’t have to pay me a salary afterward.”

Su Jin and Lu Hao finally understood, this man was here to sell children!

Just 10 Crystal Cores, and you could buy a child?

“Yeah, yeah, they can also help with work and… hehe,”

The middle-aged man came closer to Ban Xiaobo and said, his mouthful of yellow teeth disgusting Su Jin beside him. He didn’t finish his sentence, but they all understood the implication. They hadn’t expected such sordid deeds to occur even in what seemed like a peaceful base.

Ban Xiaobo was trying to get rid of him precisely because he knew what the man was up to. He believed that without trade, there would be no harm. Although the children looked pitiful, he only wanted to hire a Metal Element Ability User, not a child who couldn’t do anything.

However, the middle-aged child trafficker didn’t seem to plan on leaving and kept signaling the children behind him; seeing his gestures, the other children also gathered around Ban Xiaobo begging persistently.

Su Jin noticed that among the group of children at the back, there was a slightly older boy who kept his head down silently, not saying a word. Even when the middle-aged man pulled at him, he still stood there motionless,

And moreover, the sleeve on his right side was empty.

Is this, a severed arm?

“You useless cripple, I shouldn’t have taken you in. Would it kill you to smile for the customers?” the middle-aged man took the opportunity to kick him several times.

The boy momentarily lost his balance and fell to the ground as the middle-aged man kicked him, and due to the rope tied around his wrists, he dragged down another boy who was standing beside Ban Xiaobo with him.

“Stinking Rong Yuan, dead Rong Yuan, don’t drag me down with your bad luck.”

That boy even spat several mouthfuls of saliva at the boy with the severed arm on the ground.

Xu Chao, unable to stand by anymore, grabbed the middle-aged trafficker and said, “You’re affecting our business.”

“Big brother, why don’t you buy one? They’re all very cheap. Don’t be fooled by the dirt on these little girls; once they’re washed, they’re all fresh and tender,” the middle-aged man kept on persuading.

“How much for that boy?”

A pleasant female voice came over, quieting the entire scene.

Su Jin pointed at the boy with the severed arm who had just crawled up from the ground and asked.

Ban Xiaobo and his group were stunned—what was Su Jin doing?

Although Lu Hao was somewhat surprised, he knew that if Su Jin took action, there must be a reason for it.

The middle-aged man finally reacted and stopped pestering Xu Chao, pulling the boy with the severed arm by the hair to stand in front of Su Jin.

“Miss, you have good taste. This child might be disabled and not very easy-going, but he can take on any dirty or strenuous job. Just give him those, and it’s a flat rate of 8 crystal cores,” the middle-aged man gestured with his fingers to form the number eight and looked at Su Jin with his mouth full of yellow teeth.

“Alright, I’ll buy him,” Su Jin said.

She took out eight crystal cores directly from her pocket, and perhaps deliberately, all eight crystal cores fell to the ground.

“Okay then!”

The middle-aged man wasn’t angry and picked the crystal cores up from the ground one by one. He then untied the rope from the wrist of the boy with the severed arm and pushed him in front of Su Jin.

He had thought that Su Jin would bargain and that selling the boy for five crystal cores would also be a good deal. But to his surprise, this silly girl didn’t bargain at all and bought him immediately?

Rong Yuan was someone he had picked up by chance while looking for other children the past few days. Although Rong Yuan had resisted fiercely after waking up from his initial starvation, a few vicious beatings had subdued him. Although he was a one-armed boy, selling him for even one crystal core was a profit for the man.

“Young lady, won’t you take a look at the other children? They don’t have any defects or issues, and they’re only ten crystal cores each.”

“No need, I just want him,” Su Jin said with certainty.

Rong Yuan, the one she had bought, couldn’t help but lift his head to look at her. She only wanted him?

The other children, seeing Su Jin so readily buy the most unremarkable Rong Yuan, wanted to continue running to Su Jin to try to catch her attention, but Lu Hao stood in front of Su Jin, blocking their way.

Facing Lu Hao’s cold expression, the children were frightened and stepped back a few paces.
