Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 1536: Chapter 869: No. 12

“The management of this Yangshan is indeed remarkable, much more rigorous than my Budding. They even have personal ID cards.”

In a small alley, after the frail middle-aged man transformed into a young man, he stroked his chin, secretly amazed.

This person was none other than No. 12, a clone of Jin Shirong.

Among Jin Shirong’s numerous clones, No. 12 is a unique existence.

This clone is not known for combat; his greatest ability is transformation. He can become any person or even a Mutant Beast.

This ability is very similar to the one Lin Wan possesses beside Li Qinghua, but it’s not quite the same, as Lin Wan cannot transform into a Mutant Beast.

So in this regard, Jin Shirong’s No. 12 clone is actually stronger.

No. 12 glanced around, quickly immersed himself in the crowd, and began to gradually understand the situation in the Mirage Snake Space.

Soon, he found a shop selling Talisman Stones.

He entered the shop, wandered around briefly, and discovered that there were quite a few varieties of Talisman Stones here.

However, purchasing items here all required what they called Points.

After some inquiries, he learned that Points were a type of internal pricing method used within Yangshan.

“These Points are linked to personal ID cards. Without an ID card, one cannot make any purchases here.”

No. 12 frowned, feeling that it was somewhat troublesome.

Originally, he intended to find out the whereabouts of the Sealing Rune and simply spend some resources to purchase it.

But now it seemed, buying it wouldn’t be easy.

The Points were relatively easy to obtain; the main issue was that he didn’t have a personal ID card.

Thinking of this, he searched the body of the young man he had knocked down earlier and quickly found a card.

This card should be the so-called ID card.

After hesitating slightly, he decided to use this card to try it out.

He casually found a milk tea shop, presented this card, and purchased a cup of milk tea.

The milk tea wasn’t expensive. The server took out a machine to identify and deduct Points from the card.

No. 12 calmly handed over the card.

“Beep—”

With the beep sound, the Points were deducted.

The server smiled, “Thank you, and welcome back again.”

No. 12 took back the card, feeling relieved.

As he drank the milk tea, he casually asked, “Young lady, where can I find Talisman Stones of better quality here?”

“Aren’t you from Mirage Snake Space?” the server asked in surprise.

No. 12 shook his head, “I just arrived.”

Without doubt, the server smiled, “If you’re looking for good quality Talisman Stones, you can purchase them at the counters on the other side of the complex. There are many shops selling Talisman Stones, all certified by the research department.”

“Not only is the quality guaranteed, but the selection is abundant and varied. They have all types of Talisman Stones.”

“Of course, prices are slightly higher than private sellers.”

“If you have special custom needs, then you should still find private sellers.”

No. 12’s eyes lit up and he asked, “Private sellers? Where can I find them?”

“You should ask at the bar on the first floor of the complex building. Many private sellers are frequently there.”

Following the server’s guidance, he headed straight to the first floor of the complex.

At this moment, he already felt that the cultural ecosystem of this Yangshan was truly superior to Budding.

Not only were resources plentiful here, but there were also various industrialized goods.

You know, after the apocalypse, industrialized goods have become extremely scarce.

Even in Budding, only he and some high-level officials can still use these pre-apocalypse industrialized goods.

Ordinary people cannot enjoy these goods at all.

After all, these items are non-renewable; it’s not a technical issue, but mainly a lack of raw materials.

Each consumable item before the apocalypse essentially diminishes each time it’s used.

Quickly, he entered the bar inside, took a turn, and soon found several private sellers.

They were selling not only various Talisman Stones, Genetic Potions but also all kinds of pre-apocalypse materials, etc.

No. 12 approached a private seller and watched the seller transact with others.

After a while, the private seller turned to him and asked, “Brother, you’ve been watching for a while. So, do you need anything?”

“I can say it openly, among all private sellers, my goods are the most comprehensive. Just tell me what you need, I’ll surely get it for you.”

“Oh? Can you really get anything?” No. 12 replied with an amused smile.

The seller laughed, “Of course. Let me put it this way: if you can’t buy it here, then you probably won’t find it anywhere else in Yangshan.”

“Oh, unless it’s at the complex over there.”

Upon hearing this, No. 12 stated, “Alright, I want Talisman Stones.”

The private seller asked, smiling, “What type?”

“The kind that can seal an enemy’s Superpower,” No. 12 replied nonchalantly.

As soon as these words were said, the private seller’s expression slightly shifted.

He sized up No. 12 and asked, “Are you talking about Sealing Rune?”

No. 12 realized, so that rune is called Sealing Rune?

He asked, “Do you have it?”

“Hehe, brother, Sealing Runes are a forbidden rune for private sale transactions on Yangshan Island.”

“Especially now, we just fought with Budding and Kerry Technology, and the Sealing Array played a crucial role in this battle.”

“The top authority has very strict control over this item. Anyone caught privately selling Yangshan’s Sealing Rune Stones will not be spared.”

No. 12 coldly asked, “I only ask if you have it or not.”

“Hehe, I do, but the price…”

“How much do you want?”

“One hundred thousand points! And you need to pay 70% of the points upfront,” the private seller whispered.

No. 12’s gaze slightly narrowed at once, and he smiled and said, “Sure, as long as you can get it, I’ll definitely give you one hundred thousand points.”

“Words are not proof, pay the deposit first.”

The card No. 12 had snatched didn’t have that many points.

However, he didn’t intend to actually pay with points.

He smiled and said, “Come with me, my card doesn’t have that many points, but my friend does.”

The private seller scrutinized No. 12, eyes filled with slight suspicion and caution, and said, “I won’t leave the Mirage Snake Space. If we trade, it can only be at Little Straw Mountain.”

No. 12 smiled, “Of course.”

The two discussed for a while, and the private seller finally followed No. 12 out of the bar.

No. 12 led him to a secluded area.

The further they walked, the fewer people there were, increasing the private seller’s vigilance, prompting him to ask, “Not there yet?”

No. 12 stopped, looked around, and saw that although there were people nearby, they didn’t seem to be paying attention to him.

He smirked slightly, looked at the person in front of him, and said, “No rush, we’re almost there.”

As he said this, a gleam suddenly flashed in his eyes.

In the next moment, before the private seller could react, his vision blurred, and the space twisted instantly. He vanished on the spot.

Two days later, reports of two missing persons appeared in the patrol team’s office.

However, such disappearances weren’t uncommon.

In fact, people went missing every day, some went out to hunt mutant beasts, which was risky and they might never return.

After checking the situations of the two people, the patrol found that one of them had their last transaction record the day before yesterday.

No word was heard from them in the following two days, nor was there any record of them leaving the port.

So the patrol team started to investigate, but it was destined to end without a result.

Because by then, No. 12 had quietly left the Mirage Snake Space and even Yangshan Island.

At that moment, inside a submarine outside Yangshan Island.

No. 12 looked at the person in front of him, who had been tortured beyond recognition, and smiled slightly.

“So the Sealing Rune isn’t exclusive to Yangshan.”

Through his interrogation, the private seller revealed his source.

The Sealing Rune, a talisman stone whose trade was explicitly forbidden in Yangshan, couldn’t be purchased there but could be obtained elsewhere.

This “elsewhere” wasn’t Linjiang City but rather the neighboring Ji’an City.

Back then, many of the fleeing members from the Three Great Sects in Linjiang had gathered on Meteor Island.

The Island Lord was Wu Meng, and since Wu Yaobang could investigate that Meteor Island had Sealing Runes, No. 12 could certainly find out too.

“Meteor Island… Wu Meng.”

No. 12 smiled, remembering that Meteor Island had seemingly surrendered to their Sprout.

It seemed that Wu Meng was also a member of Sprout.

“This truly is effortless.”

No. 12 chuckled and shook his head, having gone around in such a big circle, only to find that the so-called Sealing Runes were within his own subordinates.

It seemed all his efforts searching in Yangshan were in vain.

That afternoon, No. 12 took a submarine to Meteor Island in Ji’an City.

This time, he made no disguise and directly stepped onto Meteor Island, appearing as Jin Shirong.

“Bring Wu Meng to see me!”

No. 12 stood in mid-air, exuding a formidable pressure.

His shout startled everyone on Meteor Island, making them look up at the sky in shock.

Meteor Island’s patrol team quickly flew up to the sky, seeing the awe-inspiring No. 12, and hurriedly asked, “Who are you?”

“Hmm? Who are you to ask? Bring Wu Meng out!”

No. 12 yelled, releasing the pressure of a master in the Genetic Reorganization Realm, alarming and paling the patrol members.

Everyone retreated, and someone immediately went to report to the higher-ups.

It wasn’t long before several figures flew out from within the island.

Wu Meng, along with the Earth Mother Sect’s Shi Lianhai, Shu ZhanYue, Guan MaoCai, and others, quickly arrived.

From afar, they perceived No. 12’s terrifying pressure, each showing a grave expression.

Upon seeing No. 12, Wu Meng’s expression changed instantly.

He hurried forward, cupped his fists, and said, “Wu Meng of Meteor Island greets Director Jin!”

At his words, Shi Lianhai and the others, who had initially been full of anger, were taken aback.

They promptly cupped their fists and bowed, greeting No. 12.

The strength of Sprout was evident to them.

They hadn’t met Jin Shirong before but had heard of his terrors.

Just think, if directors like Wu Yaobang of Sprout were so formidable, how powerful must the first director Jin Shirong be to suppress other directors?

Even Wu Meng sensed the terrifying power of the person opposite him and the awful superpower pressure within him.

Thus, he knelt without hesitation.

Jin Shirong cast a glance at Wu Meng, asking in a deep voice, “You are Wu Meng?”

“Yes, subordinate Wu Meng.”

“I’m asking you, does your island have a kind of rune called Sealing Rune, which can also construct a Sealing Array?”

Wu Meng slightly stunned, quickly bowed his head, and said, “Yes, there is such a rune.”

“Bring it!”
