Chapter 176 Subway

"Chen Ke!"

Chen Ke passed by a street restaurant and felt someone calling him.

The voice was a woman's, and it sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while. He looked around, trying to find the other person in the crowd.

"Here, here!" The female voice came from his left.

Chen Ke looked to the left and found Diana, who was hanging one arm, sitting at a small round table with three empty cups on it, which might have been filled with ice cream before.

Hey! I actually met the young lady I met in the sword hall here! Chen Ke scratched his head. Why did this sister break her left arm? Was she beaten in the sword hall?

Diana waved at Chen Ke, and when the other party saw him, she left her seat and walked towards the other party.

"Diana? What a coincidence, you..." Chen Ke raised his head slightly and asked.

"It's... a work injury." Diana said nonchalantly. It seems that this degree of injury is nothing to her.

"Work injury? It seems that your job is quite dangerous. You were fine when I met you in the bank yesterday." Chen Ke smiled.

"My job is both dangerous and exciting. Of course, it would be nice if it was just exciting. I accidentally hurt my arm last night. It seems that I can't go to the sword hall for a while." Diana shrugged, forgetting that her shoulder was dislocated, and frowned in pain.

Chen Ke smiled in agreement, but didn't ask about the other person's job. After all, the other person didn't ask too much about his own affairs.

In the Western world, asking about the other person's job, family and income is impolite. People who ask "How much is your salary?" when they meet seem particularly rubbish.

"What have you been busy with these days?" Diana put her intact right arm on her waist and smiled with a frown.

Chen Ke laughed. This sister loves to act, just like those cool supporting actresses in American TV series.

"I'm not busy with anything. I helped a friend move some things, and then took the time to discuss a business deal. That's all. I happened to be a little free today, so I came to the clothing store here to shop." Chen Ke said.

"It sounds like you are a businessman. Look at you. Like one of my colleagues, you always wear a suit." Diana smiled.

"I guess so. I feel like you're a sports person, an athlete? Or a fitness coach?" Chen Ke guessed, pinching his chin.

"I'll just assume you're complimenting me on my good figure. By the way, after we met at the bank yesterday, a robbery happened there. You weren't there at the time, were you?" Diana asked.

"I... of course I wasn't there. I left right after you left, just in time to finish my business." Chen Ke blinked.

"You're so lucky. If you were any later, you'd be held hostage there, and so would your girlfriend." Diana said.

"Ah... that woman... yes, we're lucky. You hurt your arm last night, so you're out shopping today?" Chen Ke asked in surprise.

"I just met a friend... I wanted to ask her to go shopping with me in the supermarket, but she left first because she had something to do. You see, my arm wouldn't be very convenient..." Diana smiled faintly and looked at Chen Ke.

Chen Ke took a deep breath and understood what Diana meant. I really shouldn't have said that I was a little free just now.

"You're not buying clothes..." Chen Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Of course not, I want to buy some caviar and eggs, and maybe something else... Those things are not too heavy, but for me with only one arm, it is still a little inconvenient..." Diana said.

She patted Chen Ke's shoulder with her right hand, showing an expression of "you know".

Chen Ke took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It was 12:30 noon, and there were more than 9 hours and 40 minutes left in the countdown.

"I swear, it will be quick. I am not the kind of girl who can't move around the clothing area." Diana seemed to see Chen Ke's concerns and promised.

"Okay Diana, I hope the mall you want to buy things is not far from here." Chen Ke said.

Diana smiled with satisfaction, walked in front of Chen Ke, and the two walked into the nearby Walmart one after the other.

Chen Ke was responsible for pushing the shopping cart, while Diana picked up the things she needed from various shelves, which were basically some meat, vegetables and fruits, of course, there were also eggs and caviar mentioned before.

Soon, the shopping cart was filled with piles of food, and it felt a bit heavy to push. Chen Ke tried the weight and estimated that the total weight of the cart was more than 30 kilograms, mainly from the large number of eggs.

While queuing to check out in the lobby on the first floor, Chen Ke saw the gun counter from a distance. His PPQ45 was melted by the Silent Witch, and the only thing he could use was the Glock stored in his residence.

For him who did not have a gun license, it was not realistic to buy a gun in Walmart. He still had to trouble Pihom for weapons.

"A total of 278 Union Coins." The cashier said.

Diana took out her credit card and swiped it.

Chen Ke put the food into three large paper bags provided by the mall at the other end. In the United Federation, for environmental protection reasons, supermarkets only provide paper bags for free.

And unless it is Black Friday, there are generally not too many customers in the mall, so the queue just now did not wait for long.

The two walked out of Walmart, Diana held a large paper bag in her right hand, and Chen Ke held two, and the two stood on the street waiting for the car.

The whole shopping process took less than 20 minutes. Diana kept her promise, and she was indeed not interested in those clothing counters.

"I'll take you to the taxi." Chen Ke said, raising his hand and giving a thumbs up.

"Taxi? Let's take the subway, if you don't want to be stuck in a taxi and watch the price list keep going up." Diana smiled.

Chen Ke's outstretched hand slowly fell down when he heard it. It just so happened that he originally wanted to take the subway to the suburbs. If Diana was on the way, it would be much more convenient.

"So, which line do you take?" Chen Ke asked.

"Line 7, where I live is not far from here, just 3 stops away, faster than taking a taxi. Sometimes I don't even drive a car for convenience." Diana replied.

"Coincidentally, I also want to take Line 7, um... Let's go to the subway station." Chen Ke smiled and motioned for Diana to go first.

After all, he had never been to the subway station in Opportunity City, and the entrances and exits were unfamiliar. He didn't know how to buy tickets in foreign subways. Let Diana take the lead and demonstrate to avoid embarrassing situations.

Diana didn't think too much, led Chen Ke across the road, and followed the crowd to the subway entrance.

Chen Ke didn't know much about Opportunity City. In about two weeks, the only places he visited were Xijin Building, Six-Shot Revolver Shop, Suburban Motel, a bunch of abandoned factories and the most prosperous two-kilometer street of Lafite Road.

Even if it was just two weeks, Chen Ke didn't think Opportunity City was a suitable place to live. It was depressed, dilapidated, hopeless, and even a little rotten. It was a city with no vitality.

Even though the prosperous two-kilometer long street of Lafite Road gave him the feeling of the advanced Western world, Chen Ke didn't think it was a good place.

In his vision, the life countdown marked all the black box spaces within his sight. The flashing light column that rushed straight into the sky was like a silent reminder.

Reminding Chen Ke that this city would soon be uninhabited and become a spiritual explosion city where monsters were kept in captivity.
