My Apocalypse Territory

Chapter 53 - 53 Old Classmates

The slender youth took out a clean cloth to wrap up the canned meat, then organized his words and began to speak.

"The Lindong Sanctuary began construction on the third day of the apocalypse and has been around for over a month. It's the largest sanctuary for hundreds of miles around Lin City, housing hundreds of thousands of survivors."

"However, the Lindong Sanctuary isn't as wonderful as the outside world makes it seem. Coming here doesn't mean you'll have an easy life," the slender youth said with a wry smile. "After all, there are too many survivors and food is limited. The amount of food the officials distribute each day is very small, barely enough to prevent starvation. If you really want to eat your fill, you have to find your own way."

He pointed to a building not far away, its doors tightly locked at the moment.

"That's the labor market. Every morning, various short-term jobs are posted, such as building the city walls. But there aren't many positions, and every morning the entrance to the labor market is packed with survivors. However, most people still can't get a job."

"Of course, Awakeners and professionals don't have to worry about these things. Other ordinary people, if they can't snatch up a job, some turn to being a guide like me. If they're lucky enough to meet someone as generous as you, they can exchange for several days' worth of food. Some people go out to try their luck, known as Scavengers.

Tang Yu knew what these people were. On his way to the Sanctuary, he had seen many survivors with yellow, skinny faces. These people obviously couldn't hunt Demonized Beasts, and even if they went out to

The slender youth pondered for a moment, "Supposedly, the Black Market sells all kinds of precious items, and you can buy anything as long as you have Source Crystals. However, I've only heard about the Black Market and don't know the specific details." He looked troubled, but indeed he was powerless to help.

Tang Yu didn't mind, after all, the guide was just an ordinary survivor.

Anyway, as long as the Black Market existed, there would always be a way to find out more. The only question was whether the Black Market had what he wanted.

He'd take it one step at a time.

After the guide left, Grey Blade went up the street to gather information.

Eileen, looking at the street vendors with a somewhat delighted expression, was left by Tang Yu to shop on her own.

In the blink of an eye, only Tang Yu was left alone.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Tang Yu?"

He turned around and saw a young man with glasses and a crew cut.

"Are you... Li Xiuming? Ming!"
