Chapter 155: Stocking up in Nigeria

(including 12.5w nutrient solution plus update)

On a quiet night in a foreign country, on the balcony with a cool breeze, two childhood friends kept a certain safe distance from each other and stared at each other silently.

Hearing what the other party said, Kong Lin was stunned at first, then smiled softly. He looked at her and sighed: "Xiaoxi, what are you talking about?"

After a long while, he saw that she didn't say anything and didn't come closer, and the smile on the corner of his lips faded a little: "What about you, are you Youxi?"

"Of course I am Youxi." She answered very straightforwardly, and it was so natural that the other party almost believed it directly.

However -

"How could you be You Xi? You Xi is just an ordinary 18-year-old girl. She was born prematurely, her parents died early, and she has no elders to take care of her. She has been in poor health since she was a child... She can't even run fast, let alone have the strength to face a mutated 'blood vampire'. You have hot weapons, can shoot accurately, and dare to stab a 'blood vampire' with one knife. How could you be You Xi?"

Kong Lin looked at her with helplessness in his eyes, "Tell the truth, okay? The name You Xi is a little important to me. I don't want other taskers to use her face and take away her identity at the same time."

The other party said this strangely, and it sounded like someone who knew You Xi, but except Lin Wu and Tang Yatong, she had no acquaintances in the system tower.

In fact, today in Baicheng, she had originally planned to find another plane to leave - she had seen that the company had more than one small plane.

She felt that she could act separately from them because it would be more convenient, whether it was stockpiling goods or taking out supplies, she would not have to be restricted.

She escorted them all the way to the plane safely, and she had done her best. So at that time in the warehouse, with her speed, she could have run out before the mutants gathered and surrounded her, but she deliberately slowed down her pace.

She didn't expect that the person who kept silent and looked at her with complicated eyes all the way would reveal his identity in order to save her.

Although she had already noticed it, she was still a little surprised by the other party's choice.

However, it was just... a little unexpected.

You Xi narrowed her eyes slightly: "Who are you? I don't remember having any encounter with you."

She insisted on her identity so much that the other party seemed to be stunned again, probably considering the truth of her words.

After a moment, Kong Lin suddenly spoke: "If you were asked to name the shelter, what would you name it?"

This sentence, which sounded incoherent, irrational and abrupt, made You Xi raise her eyebrows slightly: "... Shelter No. 28. Lou Rui?"

The other party's pupils shrank, and the original uncertainty, temptation and helplessness in his eyes turned into surprise: "Are you really You Xi!? But how could it be... your face? Are you an indigenous person or a tasker?"

"It's a bit difficult to explain. Anyway, the one in the zombie world is also me."

"So... you are indeed a tasker." Lou Rui looked at the other party again, his eyes were complicated, and there were too many reasons for this complexity.

Not only because of the familiar face of the other person, but also because through the other person, I saw myself in the zombie world a long, long, long time ago.

At that time, he was still innocent and passionate. He had never been framed and betrayed, nor had he almost been killed because of trusting others...

At that time, he would still be moved by others and would like someone for a very simple reason. That kind of pure feeling, as time passed, slowly could not be found again.

You Xi looked at him and asked again, "When did you come here? You shouldn't be called Lou Rui, right?"

She remembered very clearly that Lou Rui had a mother, a sister and many other family members in the zombie world. She didn't find out that he was a tasker until he left. So the identity of Lou Rui couldn't be his original appearance, and he couldn't be called Lou Rui.

"Just call me Ruo Rui. I really miss this name." He paused and asked, "When do you think I came here?"

"On the plane that made an emergency landing?"

"Why do you think it was then?"

Why? You Xi looked at him. There were too many reasons, and she only understood them later. The real Kong Lin would only worry about "Youxi". He would not look at her with complicated, hesitant eyes, would not question her, would not let her go to the cockpit alone, and would not squat behind her without saying a word when he found her unconscious...

However, Youxi just smiled softly: "Maybe it's an intuition. Was it at that time, or did I make a mistake and it was earlier?"

"It was indeed on the plane when you woke me up and handed me the mask." Therefore, when the familiar face suddenly jumped into his sight, he would be absent-minded for a moment.

Although he was prepared, he did not expect that the person he saw would be her, "Long time no see, Youxi, nice to see you again."

**

The situation in Nigeria is still normal at present. The Radek family and Hanla are ready to settle down here first.

Other students bought the fastest flight back home, but the fastest flight back home that day had to wait until the evening.

Everyone wanted to rest on the spot during this free day, but Youxi suggested that since they were already here, they might as well spend some time buying more local delicacies to take back.

Wu You couldn't understand this: "Why are you still in the mood to buy things? We are fleeing now, not really traveling."

You Xi didn't answer, but Min Min responded: "It's not because of traveling that we buy things. On the contrary, it's because we are fleeing that we need to seize the time. The reason why infectious mutations are scary is mainly because of their infectious nature. Nigeria is okay, the country is relatively small and easy to control, but Huaguo is too big. If there is an accident or omission... any disaster is coming, water and supplies are very important. We must prepare for it, and we can't wait until there is a real problem before thinking of a solution." "

So, even if we return to our country, it may not be safe, right?" The other students spoke anxiously. In fact, there is no need to ask, everyone knows the answer.

"But Huaguo is fine now, isn't it?" Wu You pulled her hair irritably.

When they called home from the sand dunes outside Baicheng to report that they were safe, their family members on the other end of the phone had no idea what happened in L City and were very surprised that they canceled their study tour and returned home.

At that time, they didn't know when they could get on a plane to return home smoothly, so before they each reported that they were safe, they agreed not to talk about this matter for the time being if the situation in the country was normal, so as not to worry the other party over the phone.

"Before last night, I didn't understand why my parents knew nothing about what happened in L City, but now I know."

Xiaonan took out his cell phone. "You probably haven't been online since you arrived in Nepal, right? The various videos, photos and posts uploaded to the Internet from countries D, F and Y have been lost since we landed in Nepal. The Nepalese authorities have set up a quarantine area at the airport and checked all incoming people, but ordinary people can't find out the real situation in those countries from the Internet. I think the same should be true for Hua Country..."

"Yes, even if ordinary people don't know about such a big thing, the country must know about it. Ordinary disasters or collective diseases, no matter whether they are large-scale outbreaks or in which country they occur, there is no way that they will not be reported in the news.

But now, our family members don't know about this. It is conceivable that the authorities are consciously blocking the news... If it is a controllable disease, there is no need to block the news..."

Min Min frowned and analyzed her guess in her heart to everyone. Listen, "So, don't think you'll be safe after returning home. We've been racing against time all the way and have seen almost everything. Don't be complacent and think you'll be safe when you return home. This world is no longer safe..."

This disease is very powerful. Once infected, ordinary people will turn into terrible monsters. Think about the way those people tear their own flesh. They can't imagine what will happen to themselves or their family and friends if they get the disease, and whether there is still hope of recovery.

That was the end of the world...

Thinking about all these things, some classmates couldn't help but ask the question that everyone feared the most: "We... shouldn't be infected, right?"

"Don't be silly, didn't we all go through an inspection after getting off the plane? We all changed our clothes and disinfected our belongings."

"Yeah, don't ask such scary questions, we're all fine, what's the point of infection..." Wu You was simply physically afraid of this question. As long as he thought that he might be infected and look like that, he might as well die. As

everyone discussed, the tension and vigilance that had just been slightly relaxed came back. They opened their phones and started looking for nearby shopping malls, ready to go shopping in bulk.

This is a tourist country, and many shopping malls have services that directly pack and send to the airport for consignment. There are many specialties here, and tourists will buy a lot before leaving. Their shopping will not attract too much attention.

Finally, Hanla's friend expressed his willingness to take them shopping. It happened that Hanla and Radek also wanted to buy their daily necessities and food, so they planned to go together.

Youxi heard Radek asking Hanla in the morning where he could exchange gold without being seen by others. Hanla said that his Nigerian friend was completely trustworthy, so he was still prepared to ask him for help.

She listened quietly at the time, figured out the address of the gold shop and the method of exchange, and secretly took a "ride". She entered the shop after Radek and the others left, reported the name of Hanla's friend again, and exchanged a fair amount of money, enough to support the purchase of supplies in this world for many years.

After leaving the gold shop, Youxi crossed two streets and contacted Luo Rui after making sure that there was no follower behind her. The other party drove a rented small truck and picked her up. The two of them prepared to stock up some supplies together.

She exchanged for the international currency of this world, which can be used directly in Ni and when she returns to Hua.

So she did not put the money into the bank card for the time being, but threw it into the Xingwu warehouse.

"There's a food shopping street over there. Let's go to the hotel to order food first, then go to the shopping mall on the next street to buy supplies. After we finish shopping, we can go back to the hotel to pick up the food." You Xi's shopping plan is far more detailed and thorough than any of her classmates.

In other aspects, she is always humble, believing that there are always people better than her, and dare not speak out of turn. But when it comes to shopping, she was originally extremely talented, and now after so many worlds of "training", she believes that she is now unmatched.

Following her instructions, Lou Rui stopped at the first store in the food street, and she asked him how many meals he needed to order.

"These things are not convenient to eat. I'll go to the mall to stock up on supplies later, and you can buy yours."

"Are you sure?"

Lou Rui smiled and nodded.

After getting a confirmed answer, You Xi pushed the door and got out of the car.

She had no plan to store the two people's supplies together, nor did she have a plan to directly provide the other party with her own supplies, so she would ask the other party before buying, if he needed it, she could buy it for him.

Sometimes, politeness and thoughtfulness are a kind of boundary.

This is a local restaurant, famous for its good quality and low price. After trying it, Youxi ordered 100 servings of hand-pulled rice here. This kind of hand-pulled rice is the most common meal in the local area. Each serving contains vegetables, curry chicken or beef or assorted dishes, soup, rice and fruit, which is somewhat similar to the boxed lunch in Huaguo.

She went to the boss alone to order food, and spoke to him in fluent local language, saying that she was leading a large tour group and hoped that all the pilaf would be packed in a few hours. She would pay a deposit first, and then settle the bill when she came to pick up the food in person.

Of course, the boss would not miss such a large order, so he quickly wrote her a pick-up voucher.

When Luo Rui saw her coming out, he thought the next stop was the mall, but after driving only twenty meters, You Xi asked him to stop the car again.

On the side of the road, the smell of roasted lamb wafted in. This is a barbecue restaurant, and it is also a famous local delicacy.

Usually a large pot of cumin roasted lamb is used. The meat is tender with fat and lean meat. It is crispy and fragrant when eaten, and is served with special fried rice flour bagels, vegetable salad and yogurt. It is one of the local specialties.

"Roasted lamb, do you want me to bring you some?"

Lou Rui: ...

"Really?"

"Then please pack two for me."

You Xi nodded, pushed the door and got out of the car, and ordered 202 roasted lamb sets from this store, which directly caused the boss to suspend business at noon, preparing to concentrate on this big order and reopen in the afternoon.

After that, You Xi ran back and forth to four stores on this food shopping street, a store specializing in selling Nigerian pizza, pancakes, triangle fried dumplings and other snacks, a specialty milk tea shop, an international chain of high-end daily necessities supermarkets, and a fruit store.

She placed orders for food and drinks in the number of 100. Because daily necessities and fruits can be directly transported, she asked the store to go to the warehouse to get the boxed goods after purchasing, and then filled half of the truck compartment.

Of course, every time before entering the store, she would ask Luo Rui how much he needed. He was exactly the same style as Lin Wu before, and had no interest in all kinds of food and drinks, but he entrusted her to buy some daily necessities.

Afterwards, they moved to the mall, and this time it seemed to be Luo Rui's home turf. He ordered more than ten boxes of instant noodles, canned food and biscuits, several boxes of chocolate energy bars, and more than ten boxes of water, and more or less change of clothes.

You Xi looked at the other person's face with an expression of sufficient supplies, and silently went to the snack shelf and swept a cart of snacks that she had not had time to stock up in L City.

Chocolates of all sizes, soft candies, vacuum meat, potato chips, cookies...

clothes and the like. Because the three of them in the original world still had plenty of clothes and shoes for the time being, she stocked up according to the amount of herself and the brother of the world character. The styles were mainly sports pants, and they all looked for those international chain stores - brands that also have chain stores in Huaguo.

There was also a pharmacy in the mall. She and Lou Rui bought a lot of masks, gloves and disinfectants. There were also protective suits, but not many, only a few boxes, and they bought them all.

All the things were loaded into the compartment of the small truck one by one. Afterwards, Lou Rui took away the portion he bought first, and the rest were moved to the Xingwu warehouse by Youxi.

Afterwards, they drove to the four restaurants where they had placed orders before.

Lou Rui didn't know how much You Xi had bought before. She was already surprised to see her loading a cart of snacks in the shopping mall supermarket. Now she was dumbfounded to see the store owner and his staff loading the packed meals into the car.

Four stores, 100 sets of hand-pulled rice, pizza snacks, special milk tea, plus 200 sets of roasted lamb...

Except for a few sets reserved for them and other classmates' dinner, all the others were put into the Xingwu warehouse by You Xi. Lou Rui looked at her slightly satisfied look and felt that she had a new understanding of her.

**

All the classmates arrived at the airport at dinner time. Everyone bought a lot of things. The classmates all paid extra for checked luggage. In contrast, You Xi and Lou Rui, who only had an extra travel bag, seemed to have average purchasing power.

The flight from Ni to Hua takes less than five hours.

They will enter the country in Guangcheng, and then take a one-hour train back to Zhoucheng where they are. Zhoucheng is not a major city. It is at most a second-tier city, and there are no direct international flights.

In order to avoid problems entering Huaguo, Lou Rui made preparations in advance through the network of Kong Lin, a rich second-generation.

Kong Lin's mother died early, and there was only his father at home. He is the only son in the Kong family, and therefore his father loves him very much.

He did not tell Kong's father specifically about Lcheng and Diguo's experience, but Kong Lin has always been a serious and rigorous personality. Kong's father knew that he would not make such a request without reason. After asking people to run around, he found that all international flights have set up entry inspections and quarantines.

Huaguo now has a population of about 100 million. It is a vast country with a sparse population. There are not many international flights every day. All the hotels near the airport have been converted into quarantine areas. Because of this, the public still knows nothing about this.

Kong's father vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but for him, his son's safe entry was much more important than figuring out the whole thing, so he spent some time running around.

Now that Kong Lin and his party have entered the country, they will be directly processed as returning from tourism in Nigeria. The time and place of quarantine are different from those for entry from other countries.

They will probably only need to stay in the hotel for about six hours before they can leave.

In Youxi's view, it is already a rare opportunity for them to enter the country normally. According to the current situation outside, they have returned from a sensitive place like L City, so she would not be surprised even if they are quarantined for a long time.

The flight to Nigeria was delayed, and they boarded the plane two hours later than originally planned, but fortunately everything went well afterwards, and they landed safely and were released after six hours of inspection and quarantine.

Their personal belongings and checked items were returned to them after inspection and disinfection.

Kong's father did not let them take the train, but arranged a bus to take them back to Zhoucheng comfortably.

Until they returned to the familiar city, everyone finally let go of the worries they had been carrying all the way, hugged each other and said goodbye, and went home.

"Youxi"'s residence is very close to Kong Lin's residence, one is a luxury villa and the other is a luxury apartment building, and both sides can be reached in about fifteen minutes on foot.

"Youxi"'s parents knew Kong's father before, and his brother is an excellent lawyer, and he and Kong's father also have work intersections.

After Youxi's parents passed away, Kong's father loved Youxi because Kong Lin also lost his mother at a very young age. He would usually take care of Youxi and the two families would interact with each other. Youxi and his brother would also go to Kong's house to eat and play.

So, after the bus arrived in Dazhou City, Kong's father took Kong Lin and Youxi to take a car and drove directly to home. It was also on the way back that Kong's father told Youxi an important news.

Youxi's brother, You Zhengqing, is now in the hospital.

He has been in the hospital for several days, and his illness was not discovered recently, but he has been hiding it from her because he was afraid that she would worry and did not want to deprive her of the most comfortable and happy learning career in her life.

The day after Youxi left the country, he was admitted to the hospital because of a relapse, and he did not let the hospital notify Youxi afterwards. In You Zhengqing's opinion, his illness was already like this, and whether she was by his side or not, there was no way to change this fact.

Therefore, he would rather she go on a study tour happily, and he would tell her the truth when she came back this time.

In the past few days, he had been in the intensive care unit because of recurring illness, and he didn't even see the message You Xi sent him.

"Zhengqing just woke up this morning and was transferred to a private ward in the morning. He doesn't know what happened to you there yet. You should consider whether to tell him."

Father Kong had already learned about this from "Kong Lin" at this time. He was planning a series of follow-up response measures, and at the same time he understood how difficult You Xi's situation was now.

If the "blood vampire" mutation spread in Huaguo, she would not only have to protect herself, but also have to take care of her brother who was in the late stage of cancer. For a girl of only eighteen years old, it would be too difficult.

Mr. Kong sighed a few times and sent Youxi downstairs to the apartment building: "Don't worry, you are not alone, Linlin and I are here, come to me if you have any problems, don't be polite."

Youxi glanced at Lou Rui, who played "Kong Lin" perfectly, and smiled at Mr. Kong: "Thank you, Uncle Kong, then I will go back to pack up and go to the hospital, I'm sorry to bother you these days."

Before the car left, Lou Rui looked out of the window: "Call me if you have anything."

Youxi also smiled at him.

She did want to pack up first when she went home, one is to throw all the useful items at home and all the items needed by the two people into the Xingwu warehouse - be prepared to evacuate at any time, and the other is to observe the situation of the apartment to see if it is solid and whether it can be used as a place to spend the other six months.

But You Zhengqing's illness was actually not in her plan.

This means that in the early stages, a hospital with various rescue facilities is the best place to take care of him. In addition, she has to find out the medicines he needs for his illness and find them all at once. She may also have to get a few beds and wheelchairs for him to rest and eat.

If conditions permit, it would be best to get some testing equipment, and a car. There is no need to take out the RV at the beginning. You Zhengqing's original car is too small. She has to get an off-road vehicle to facilitate stockpiling...

While planning in his mind, Youxi quickly moved the items in the apartment into the Xingwu warehouse, then found the nutritious soup cooked by Fan Qi from the aluminum alloy shelf in the warehouse, put it in a thermos, put a few apples in a bag, took them out and took a taxi to the hospital.

At this time, Youxi did not expect that the chaos in Huaguo would come so quickly.
