Apocalypse: Starting with a Tricycle, Operating a Mobile Supermarket

After Jiang He had been a scapegoat in the new world for half a year, her super powerful management system finally arrived late. After binding, she started by pedaling a small tricycle, operating a...

Chapter 106: To Avoid Losing Life

After getting off the car, Qi Zhengyang called a few brothers at the door to come over and help move the supplies.

His eyes and eyebrows were all beaming with joy: "Did Boss Jiang come to our base?"

Looking at the trunk full of goodies, Pei Yu's face flushed.

"Yes, the base commander has already gone there and is eating at the supermarket."

Qi Zhengyang:!!!

Boss Jiang really didn’t lie. He said he would open a supermarket in their Hua’an base, and he definitely would!

Jiang He was drinking soy milk. When he looked up, he saw Shen Que and the other two walking in.

Qi Zhengyang's face was full of anticipation. "Boss Jiang, what good things are there in the supermarket today?"

"You can each take a bottle of insecticide powder. Also, the supermarket has unlocked preserved vegetable braised pork lunch boxes and spicy chicken rice bowls.

I just had the pork with preserved vegetables, it was amazing, I recommend you try it too.”

As a foodie, Jiang He wanted to share the delicious food with the whole world after eating it.

The three of them were really attracted by Jiang He's recommendation. The bread he had last time was so delicious that they really wanted to eat their tongues.

This time, you definitely can’t miss the preserved vegetables and pork belly!

"Brother Que, we're back at base now. Can we not charge the meal plan for the business trip?"

Qi Zhengyang coveted the soy milk in Jiang He's hand and wanted to buy some, but the three hundred meal allowance was not enough.

Shen Que gestured to the table behind with his eyes.

"The base commander is over there, you can go and ask him directly."

"Well, that's not good."

Although the base commander usually gets along well with them, just like his own brothers, he is still a big leader after all, and Qi Zhengyang is still afraid of him.

"Mingming, you go." He threw the pot away.

Huo Ming pointed at his nose: "Me?"

How could he have the courage to do that? Isn't this just asking him to die?

Looking at the cowardly look of the two of them, Shen Que laughed out loud.

"That's a nice thought. We're already back at the base, and you still want to get the meal allowance. It's not that easy to take advantage of the base's bargains. If you want to buy something, just use your own points."

Before the large-scale purchase, Meng Hezhang asked two teams from the base to go outside and search for gold and silver jewelry.

These things are all considered the property of the base.

Their personal points only account for a small part of the points card.

It's not as generous to spend the base's points as it is to spend your own points.

Qi Zhengyang immediately became stingy and was reluctant to buy snacks and fruits.

I grabbed a box lunch of braised pork with preserved vegetables, a bag of soy milk, and stocked up on some essential supplies, then quickly went to the checkout counter to pay.

He can no longer touch snacks, drinks, fruits, etc.

Wait until he finds a way to earn more points, then come back to feast!

Shen Que and Huo Ming didn't buy anything extra, so they just stocked up on a bunch of necessities.

As soon as the three of them sat down at the dining table, they heard the base commander suddenly ask about business.

"How did the weapons talk go?"

Seeing that they were a little reserved, Meng Hezhang curled the corners of his lips slightly, looking elegant and easy-going.

"Just eat normally. You can report to me now, so you don't have to come to the office later."

Shen Que opened the lunch box and gave a work report in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

"Base Commander, when we went to Nanyang Base this time, Mr. Zhou, who was in charge of arms, happened to be out on a business trip, so we weren't able to talk to him in person.

When I left, I didn't get any definite news about when Mr. Zhou would be back."

Meng Hezhang paused holding the chopsticks. A small base like theirs is most likely to be attacked by bandits.

Whether dealing with bandits or mutant beasts later, weapons are indispensable supplies and are as important as food.

Qi Zhengyang frowned and felt angry when he thought about what happened on the road.

"Base Commander, the bandits on West City Road are getting more and more rampant. They've placed dense spikes on the road. If it weren't for Brother Que's sharp eyes, the supplies in the car would have been stolen by them."

The Hua'an Base was established in the first month of the apocalypse. At that time, it was considered a medium-sized base. Later, a large number of residents died in natural disasters, and there was a huge gap in manpower, so it gradually declined into the small base it is today.

The bandits nearby who were burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil felt that they were easy to bully now. They had raided the base several times before and lost more than 20 brothers before they could protect the supplies in the base.

In the past few days, Hua'an Base has transported back a large amount of supplies. Those dogs outside who are eyeing us covetously may launch another raid.

They must find ways to get guns and ammunition so that they can fight those people.

After pondering for a while, Meng Hezhang spoke in a calm voice:

"Three days later, you will go to the Nanyang base again. Come back when you have spoken to the people in person."

After a two-second pause, he asked again, "Is the Nanyang base willing to buy machines for us?"

Shen Que nodded: "Minister Zheng said that we have to exchange it for twice the supplies, and I agreed."

Before leaving, Meng Hezhang told him the bottom price. Even if he had to use twice or even three times the supplies, he had to exchange them for the water purification machine.

"Well, you're right. In the next few days, other bases will definitely trade with Nanyang. The price of the machines will only rise, and it's not certain that they will be available.

With this machine, we don’t have to worry about water problems for at least six months, unless there’s a drought.”

Finally, something went well, and Meng Hezhang's tense lips relaxed.

Things that have not happened in the future do not affect their appetite.

Qi Zhengyang picked up the lunch box and started eating like a hungry wolf.

The aroma of the braised pork with preserved vegetables made him so dizzy that his brain was like a mess and he could no longer think normally.

Ma’am…it’s so delicious!

After that, the four people at the table buried their heads in eating and had no time to talk.

——

As soon as seven o'clock arrived, the residents of the base rushed towards the Shuguang Supermarket like starving ghosts.

Jiang He raised his loudspeaker and maintained order at the supermarket entrance:

"Please queue up consciously, don't push or shove, and only enter the supermarket after the queue has formed!

Don't be in a hurry, take your time. Before entering the supermarket, check yourself to see if you have any gold or silver jewelry or other items that can be exchanged for points.

If not, it’s useless to wait in such a long line because you won’t be able to buy anything.”

When going out on a mission, who would carry gold, silver and jewelry with them?

Some time ago, the base commander told them about the existence of Shuguang Supermarket, and quite a number of people took advantage of the lunch break to go outside to "hunt for treasure".

Now, it really comes in handy.

After Jiang He reminded them, they remembered that the things worth points were all kept at home.

I was just rushing along, afraid of being slower than others, and forgot the most important thing.

The originally bustling crowd dispersed in an instant. Everyone ran home, picked up their things, and ran back quickly.

"Everyone, please pay attention to the information on the electronic screen to avoid any loss of life!"
