Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 578 - Chapter 578 Chapter 579 Do You Have Something Precious

Chapter 578: Chapter 579: Do You Have Something Precious? Chapter 578: Chapter 579: Do You Have Something Precious? But when they saw she was actually carrying a Tang Knife in her hand, everyone’s attitude changed.

After walking a short distance inside, the few people who had agreed to meet with her in advance came up to greet her, afraid that the deal might fall through.

Although they were a bit curious as to how the demure girl they saw in the daytime could suddenly transform into a full-on powerhouse in the evening,

her whole demeanor and the expression on her face had become very different.

But, having been mixed up in this place for a long time, one was more streetwise than the other; as long as the deal went through, that’s all that mattered.

Su Shu saw them approaching and, as previously agreed, she took something out of her backpack to barter.

Throughout the exchange, the onlookers, whether standing or squatting, were all sneakily watching.

They were merely curious to see what Su Shu had, what she could trade, whether there was any problem with her, and if she was trustworthy or not.

And some had other thoughts in their minds.

Their shrewd eyes darted around, occasionally whispering to the person next to them.

All of this, though Su Shu did not scrutinize, was observed by the Fox at her feet, who then relayed everything to her.

When it comes to sensing potential danger, animals’ instincts are far superior to humans’.

The Fox kept watch and spoke, while Su Shu just listened,

to avoid giving others the impression she was crazy and talking nonsense.

She also noticed that everyone adhered to the principle of trading small amounts for safety’s sake; no one would make a large exchange.

However, two men noticed the way Su Shu had shown up that evening and felt that the girl before them was no ordinary person, so they asked her very quietly if she wanted to trade some more when no one else was paying attention.

Trading in large quantities in one go is a big taboo in the black market, increasing the danger for both parties.

But when they casually probed whether she had any baby formula or the like, Su Shu did not speak, just slightly nodded her head to indicate she did.

The two young men were intrigued.

Wang Chao and his brother-in-law Li Wei had been roaming the black market for several days, hoping to buy some baby formula for their newly born daughter.

Ever since resources became scarce, the supermarkets had been pillaged and stolen from, and even if someone had supplies, they were no longer willing to trade them nowadays.

Otherwise, the prices demanded for such trades were prohibitively expensive, something they simply couldn’t afford.

Wang Chao’s wife gave birth last month, and her body was already weak. She didn’t produce enough breast milk, and the baby cried hungrily every day. They, as parents, wiped their tears while trying desperately to find food for the child; it was not easy.

His wife was always upset, and life for the family was extremely hard.

They had thought that such hardship would only be temporary and that things would slowly get better.

Who would have expected that the situation would actually get worse?

Rumors were whispered privately that food supplies were diminishing, and many places could no longer distribute them.

And in these tough times, as if the roof were leaking and met with night rain, his daughter was born. Some advised the couple,

The world is a cruel place now, and even if the child is born, she will only suffer along with you. You are not even sure if you can survive, let alone the child.

Wang Chao knew what others implied by ‘that,’ but he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

No matter how hard life was, that was still a life, his daughter.

Yes, times were tough, but they weren’t the only family struggling; everyone was in the same boat, and he ignored what others said.
