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 20 Signing in to the Chief's Office

This morning, the system refreshed the sign-in task. The sign-in location was the office of the chief of Nanyang base, so Jiang He must return to the base.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, she set off from Sheep Village, with a long line of people following behind her pink van.

The villagers were riding tricycles, bicycles, carts, and wheelbarrows...

They used anything that had wheels.

Without gasoline, all four-wheeled vehicles were abandoned in the village.

This time is the hottest time of the day.

The earth was like a steamer, with suffocating heat waves constantly coming, making breathing extremely difficult.

The temperature today is at least 50 degrees Celsius, and everyone is too hot to travel.

Cao Songshan kept wiping the sweat from his forehead to prevent it from dripping into his eyes. When he saw someone falling behind, he immediately encouraged and comforted them:

"Everyone, just grit your teeth and hold on, we'll be there soon!"

Even so, more than a dozen people collapsed from the heat on the way, especially the elderly who could not withstand the exertion.

On the way, the villagers had a fierce quarrel.

"I voted against it yesterday. That volcano hasn't made any noise in over a hundred years. How could it possibly erupt all of a sudden?

It’s all your fault. You insisted on moving away. Now look what you’re doing. You’re dying of heat on the road!

My father died, and it was all your fault!"

Half of the team are elderly, and it is inevitable that some of those in poor health will die on the road to relocation.

Cao Songshan not only had to endure the scorching weather, but also had to be used as a punching bag by the villagers who had lost their loved ones.

"The volcano will definitely erupt tomorrow. If it doesn't, I will pay for the lives of those who died!

Everyone, stop arguing now and save your energy to get on with your journey!

If anyone really doesn't believe me, you can go back now, I won't stop you."

They had already walked half the distance, and few people wanted to return to the Sheep Village.

The majority of villagers still support Cao Songshan.

The team instantly quieted down. The village chief was right. If they blamed each other now, it would only slow down the progress and waste their energy.

A little girl about ten years old squatted beside the white-haired old man, crying inconsolably.

"Grandma, let me help you up. Let's keep walking. The village chief said we're almost there!"

She kept pulling the old man's arms with her two little hands, but the little girl was too weak to help the exhausted old man get up from the ground.

The old man patted the back of her hand and spoke in a voice so weak that it was almost inaudible.

"Child, don't worry about grandma. Grandma has reached the end of her life. From now on, you have to rely on yourself to move forward.

Be sure to keep your points card safe and use it sparingly. When you get to the base, work actively. If you encounter any problems, you can consult your village chief..."

By the end of his speech, the old man was already unconscious, his mouth was moving but no sound came out.

The village doctor came over to check and shook his head regretfully.

"Wenwen, your grandma wants you to keep living. The army can't wait for anyone. You can't stay for too long. Hurry and go."

Zhu Wen covered her face and cried bitterly. After saying goodbye to her grandmother reluctantly, she wiped the tears from her face and quickly caught up with the team in front.

She cannot let her grandmother down and must work hard to live!

Bring grandma's portion.

Vans drive much faster than tricycles and carts.

It took nearly three hours to get to Sheep Village, and only more than an hour to get back to Nanyang Base.

When she passed through the base gate, Cao Songshan and his team were far behind and there was no sign of them at all.

Everyone has their own destiny. How many of them can enter the Nanyang base depends on their luck.

As soon as Jiang He returned to the base, the military district received the news.

Three minutes later, Ye Qingqing received a task from her superior - to contact Jiang He again and gain his trust.

She did not act immediately, but waited to see where Jiang He would open the supermarket before setting off for her destination.

Wait and wait.

Suddenly, an anxious voice was heard on the intercom.

"Alert, alert, the target person is heading towards the military district building!"

At the same time, the soldiers guarding the military district building also received this news and immediately felt as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

The deterrent power of just one person is a hundred times more terrifying than that of thousands of troops.

"Captain, what should we do?"

Qin Song's expression was tense. He glanced at them and said calmly:

"We'll see what she's going to do next."

Beep, beep—

Jiang He made a beautiful move and parked the pink van in front of the gate of the military area.

"Hi, handsome guy, nice to see you again!"

She waved enthusiastically at Qin Song, who remained expressionless and stared at her.

"Oh, don't be nervous, I won't go to the rooftop this time.

I just wanted to hang out in the chief’s office.”

Hearing this, Chen Ling was stunned: "Just?"

That was the chief's office, but she made it sound as easy as going to the vegetable market.

"Ah? You won't let me in again."

Jiang He looked innocent and weak, and shrugged helplessly.

"Then I'll just have to force my way through."

"etc."

Qin Song stopped her and said, "I have asked my superiors for instructions. The chief is waiting for you in the office. I will take you upstairs."

Well, that's right. Letting her force her way in would be a waste of time and a serious waste of the military's manpower and resources.

Jiang He finally got a clear look at what the military area looked like inside by walking up the same stairs he had walked up last time.

There are seven or eight heavy tanks parked in the hall, and various weapons are displayed in the glass cabinets on the wall, revealing the armed forces of the base everywhere.
