and after each fusion, their speed, strength, and destructive power increase exponentially."And these black fusion worms are extremely sensitive to food, which is us humans. Even though Q City's rese...The ripples bent down and embraced the whirlwind, then turned to Sun Zhou who was patting his chest and said:

"My whirlwind is a little embarrassed to fight you, so I called it back."

"What does Miss Ripple mean"

Among the newcomers, the only woman Chu Hong spoke up.

“My family's fighting style is like a whirlwind, attacking enemies with their eyes, carotid arteries, and ankles—vital points that guarantee death or serious injury. When sparring with family members, they hold back and don't aim to harm, so it looks rather tame.”

Ripple smiled and explained.

Tang Tianming and Situ Yi both gasped in surprise.

"I can't tell, your cats are so amazing."

Chu Hong raised an eyebrow.

Of course, otherwise what would I be keeping it for In this kind of apocalyptic disaster, if you want to survive, you need to be strong enough yourself.

Ripple said calmly.

"Meow"ing, the cat also raised its head and meowed in agreement with its owner's words.

Zhao Jia covered her mouth with her hand, trying to hide her urge to laugh out loud.

It's common knowledge that ripples are much rarer than whirlwinds. Even though a whirlwind can’t support a ripple, it doesn’t mean a ripple couldn’t raise a whirlwind. It just means the whirlwind is really striving to do so.

"Ah, well done."

What else could Sun Zhou say, he can't even beat a cat raised by someone else. It's best to spare himself the embarrassment.

The rest was easy. Li Qian, Sun Weifeng, and Zhao Jia sparred with each other separately, while Situ Yi, Tang Tianming, and Chu Hong sparred. Everyone got a sense of each other's abilities after the exchanges. Only Lianyi watched from the sidelines, occasionally offering advice to those practicing.

The main thing is that she always hits the nail on the head, clearly an expert. No one has ever really challenged her.

Sishu Yi privately asked Yuan Chongming, "What is Lian Yi's real strength" Yuan Chongming pondered for a moment and said:

She is the most capable of us all, and before the disaster struck, she was a lone wolf who completed special missions single-handedly. You don't have to doubt her abilities.

After hearing this, Si Tu Yi touched his nose and stopped asking. After all, it couldn't be truly fake, and it couldn't be truly real.

As some were still adjusting, Lian Ri decided not to participate. She held onto Feng Hui and went back to the trading market again. She ran into Dong Zi Qing once in between, but then she didn't see him again. This guy definitely had something up his sleeve, so she was going to confront him.

As Lián predicted, things unfolded as expected. After brushing past Lián, Dǒng Zǐqīng and Sūn Péng took turns lurking in the trading market, all to ambush Lián.

This day happened to be Dong Ziqing’s turn to stand guard. He saw Lian Yi wearing a black fox fur coat, thick snow boots, and holding a black cat leisurely strolling through the market. A flash of jealousy crossed his eyes, and he immediately followed her.

"Ripple! Ripple!"

Seeing the familiar voice, Lian Yi's eyes turned, and she stood still. She then turned her head to see Dong Ziqing running towards her, a smile playing on her lips as she said:

"Senior, such a coincidence I ran into you again!"

"Ripple, my little sister. It's no coincidence that I've been waiting for you here for several days."

Dongziqing immediately said.

"Are you waiting for me Is there something"

"There's something I need to discuss, but this isn't the right place. Can we move somewhere else"

Dongzi glanced around and deliberately took two steps forward, lowering his voice as he spoke.

"Alright, you lead the way!"

After ripples took a step back, she wrinkled her nose. The smell on the other person was just too awful.

Dong Zicheng felt a little awkward, he paused for a moment, then said to Lianyi:

Where's your friend

"We'll explore separately and meet back at the entrance of the marketplace in a while. You lead the way."

Liàn yī said impatiently.

Okay, follow me.

Dongziqing took Lianyi to a two-story building in the middle of the trading market. He said something to the person at the door, and then successfully entered inside. It was a private small room.

"This is the safest place to conduct transactions. Some deals that are not convenient to discuss face-to-face are carried out here."

Dong Ziqing explained.

"Well, you can speak now!"

"Ripple, I know you've found backing. I have a business proposition I'd like to discuss with you."

"Don't beat around the bush, just tell me! If it's suitable, I'll talk to my people."

The ripples, while spinning a whirlwind, impatiently said.

I've been laying the groundwork for so long, and I still don't know what it's all for.

"My partner and I found an underground food storage while breaking the ice, but we are short-handed and lack support. Even if we find food, we can't protect it. So we want to find someone to cooperate with."

How much food Where is it

"One hundred tons of various food supplies, worth the risk. As for where they are located, allow me to keep you in suspense. Before we confirm our collaboration, I certainly wouldn't reveal such vital information lightly."

Dongzi said calmly and serenely.

How to cooperate

The location is where we found it. Once the food is dug out, we'll have six and you'll have four.

"Tsk, are you kidding me! We put in the effort and we only get 40% Might as well take you all out and claim it all for ourselves."

Ripple said dismissively.

Don't they realize they're being taken for a ride!

Dong Zicheng's breath caught in his throat, his fist under the table clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. However, he swallowed his anger and after a moment of contemplation, he looked up and said:

"Ripples, hello everyone. At least we are classmates. If we weren't desperate, we wouldn't risk partnering with someone like this. You said it yourself, you could have just ignored us and taken all the food for yourselves."

But I believe you are not that kind of person. Since you have used our power, we don't want to make things difficult for you either. How about this amount I will go back and discuss it with my companions.

That's more like it. Since we're cooperating, there needs to be sincerity.

After nodding in satisfaction, Lianyi said:

"Sanqi bar! You three, after all, this place was discovered by you. We seven, the excavation and transportation of food were all undertaken by us, and we even shared the risk for you. You can tell the outside world that we robbed all the food."

"Okay! I'll go discuss this with everyone. How about we meet here again in three days Does that work for you"

Of course, I'm waiting for good news from you.

As the other party left, Lian Ri sat for a while longer, changed her clothes, hid the whirlwind, returned to the military police station, and then went to find Yuan Chongming.

"Captain, we're alive!"

"What does that mean"

My former senior reached out to me, saying that they had the location of a hidden granary, but they were short-handed and lacked the ability to retrieve the food, so they wanted to cooperate.

Ripples said calmly.

"Do you think we could collaborate"

It wasn't a collaboration, it was a one-net sweep. He didn't have any good intentions. The last two times we went to the trading market, they targeted me.

This cooperation, whether true or not, I think it's worth checking out. It's better if there's food, and even without food, we can know what they're selling.

When will you meet again

"The market will be open in three days!"

"Okay, I'll let everyone know to get ready.the second semester, even weekend rest has been canceled. Everyone consciously goes to school for self-study, and they can go home by 6 pm in the afternoon.Because Lin Yi's performance was consistentl...
