NOVEL NEXT Chapter 431: Friends From The Past ( 2 )
Qin Luzi's sudden stare startled the Cheng brothers. Without them noticing, their backs were covered in cold sweat as they felt a sharp, cold killing intent directed at them.
The stare only lasted for several seconds, but Cheng Rui had already made up his mind not to mess with the group. It's better to try exchanging the crystal core.
Turning to look at his brother, he said, "Ah Yue, if we use supplies or low-level crystal cores to exchange for that high-level crystal core, do you think they will agree to it?"
Cheng Yue frowned and said, "Judging from their strength, those people should be level-one ability-users."
"Only the one with black flame, silver purple thunder, and strength type will be able to use the crystal core. But their elements aren't compatible. It's better to use a low-level crystal core with compatible elements," he added.
Hearing his brother's analysis, Cheng Rui nodded in agreement and said, "So, the chance of them agreeing is high."
After a moment of pause, Cheng Yue replied, "That might not be the case."
"Why do you say so?" Cheng Rui asked.
Glancing at his brother, Cheng Yue asked him back, "Didn't you see how easily they cleared the zombies? Even though crystal cores are hard to come by, with how many zombies they killed, they would be able to get at least hundreds of crystal cores, if not thousands."
"With so many crystal cores, there is no need to exchange a rare high-level crystal core with low-level crystal cores at all," he explained.
While the two of them were analyzing the situation, Qin Luzi turned to his Captain, and said, "There are two ability-users on the rooftop of the building at eight o'clock."
Hearing this, the Phantom Team members turned their heads to take a look.
Thanks to their advancement, their eyesight had improved, and it wasn't hard for them to notice two figures standing on the rooftop. While they couldn't see their features clearly, it was easy for them to discern that the newcomers were men.
Pei Yixie looked at her brother and asked, "Brother, how about I go there and see what they want?"
Jin Xuyan glanced at her for a moment before he said, "Avoid any unnecessary dispute."
When she heard this, Pei Yixie nodded and said, "Understood."
As soon as she finished her words, she leaped from the wall and dashed toward the direction of the newcomers. Seeing this, Fu Guai hesitated for a moment before he followed after her.
When Cheng Rui and Cheng Yue saw two people coming in their direction, they exchanged glances and leaped down from the rooftop. Not long after, they saw a young woman and a man standing twenty meters away from them.
Pei Yixie stared at them without blinking, and soon, she heard their inner voices.
'This sister looks pretty, but she looks like a fool. I wonder if I can trick her into giving me that high-level crystal core.'
'I smell braised duck necks coming from that man. I'm hungry.'
After she listened to their thoughts for a moment, she was sure that these two people were at most level-two ability-users. From one of them, she knew that their target was the high-level crystal core her brother had gotten.
Being stared at so intently by her, Cheng Rui smiled and said teasingly, "Sister, you seem to like our looks. How about taking us back to accompany your lonely night?"
When he heard these words, Fu Guai frowned and glanced at Pei Yixie. Seeing how calm she was, he clenched his fists and retracted his sharp nails.
Pei Yixie smiled at his words and said, "Using honey traps on me is useless. This place is taken by my team. Both of you should leave."
Noticing the threat in her tone, Cheng Rui raised his hands and said, "My brother and I have no intention of competing with you and your team. We only want to get some weapons and a vehicle. After we get what we want, we will leave."
Pei Yixie narrowed her eyes for a while before she smiled and said, "Alright then."
Hearing how easily she agreed, not only Cheng Rui and Cheng Yue were taken aback, even Fu Guai looked at her with a questioning gaze.
He reached out to hold her hand and asked, 'What are you planning to do?'
Pei Yixie leaned closer to him and whispered, "These two are only at level-two at most. They came for the high-level zombie's crystal core and won't leave. Rather than letting them lurk in the dark, it's better to watch them closely."
After she said this, she turned to the Cheng brothers and said, "Both of you, follow me."
Seeing them coming back so fast, Xiao Qi asked, "Sister Pei, why did you bring them with you?"
Pei Yixie shook her head and went to find her brother. "Brother, they want to get some weapons and will leave afterward."
When he heard this, Jin Xuyan looked at the Cheng brothers and was stunned. Compared to the time he saw them in his previous life, both of them looked much younger and more spirited now.
After a moment, he regained his composure and nodded. "If you want to get the weapons, you can wait until we are done."
"No problem," Cheng Rui agreed readily.
The two of them watched the Phantom Team kill the zombies for a moment before they sat on the edge of the metal wall. Standing not far from them, Jiao Lizhi kept taking peeks at them, with astonishment clear in her eyes.
She never expected to meet her friends from the past so soon in this life. Recalling their appearances in the past, she couldn't connect the two young, handsome men with her friends at all!
After a moment of astonishment, she noticed the Cheng brothers rubbing their stomachs pitifully. Out of her feelings toward them as teammates, she stopped killing the zombies and walked over to them.
