Chapter 075 Zombie Apocalypse 13

Xie Yunsui's original intention in selling this batch of space gourds was to let Ji Tianyuan and Wu Feng use them more often when they returned, and to promote them at the same time.

Unexpectedly, two girls placed the order first.

When they heard the shopkeeper say buy one get one free, they immediately took action, spending a thousand crystal cores to get two gourds, and each of them got one.

Before closing the store tonight, I just used the crystal core to buy dinner for today, four big steamed buns and two bottles of water. I haven't had time to enjoy them yet, so I used it to try out the practicality of the space gourd.

"Boss, how do I use this?"

Hao Qing fiddled with the small gourd in her hand, but didn't dare to try it easily for fear of breaking it.

"Just point the gourd's mouth towards what you want to put in," Xie Yunsui explained. "To activate the anti-theft seal, you'll also need to drop your blood on the third orange gem. From now on, no one except you will be able to remove the contents of the gourd."

Hao Qing pinched the small gourd and pointed it at a bottle of water. Sure enough, the water disappeared out of thin air the next second.

Because the small gourd was in her hand, she could clearly sense that there was a bottle of water in the gourd.

Three people present: It really works!

Shen Yiyi also tried putting steamed buns and water into the gourd, then taking them out and putting them back in, having a lot of fun.

Ji Tianyuan and Wu Feng's eyes widened.

They all understand what it means to have a cubic meter of space with them.

If everyone can be equipped with such a small gourd, they will no longer be afraid that the supplies they have worked hard to collect will be snatched away by others.

There is no need to queue up and wait for the space ability users to make time to join their team, and they also have to distribute a certain percentage of the supplies.

Space ability users are so scarce that in order to bring back more supplies, the ability teams are willing to raise their own share, just to ask the space ability users to go out with them once.

One cubic meter isn't much, but a gourd only has 1,000 crystal cores, so it's better to have a few more!

Ji Tianyuan and Wu Feng wanted it very much, but they had no money. Wu Feng even wanted to return the apple and exchange it for a small gourd.

As if seeing his troubles, Xie Yunsui kindly explained that it could be changed.

Wu Feng: "Really?"

Ten apples contain a thousand crystal cores, and Xie Yunsui gave him two small gourds in exchange.

Ji Tianyuan was the only one present who did not have a gourd.

Wu Feng held the gourd in his hand and cut a hole in his hand with a piece of metal. Blood dripped onto the third gem, and he immediately sensed the spiritual connection between himself and the gourd.

This feeling is very wonderful, as if I have the supernatural power of half a space out of thin air.

Ji Tianyuan watched eagerly, full of envy.

It was clearly him who got to know the store owner first, and he was the one who came to buy things every day, so why is it that he never gets a chance when good things happen?

Ji Tianyuan glanced at Xie Yunsui cautiously. Could it be because I had a fight with the store owner?

Didn’t that mean he was beaten back?

Why are you still holding a grudge?

…

That night, Hao Qing and Shen Yiyi squeezed on the floor between the shelves, and they each activated the anti-theft mark with a knife from the store.

"...It's strange, I feel like my connection with the gourd has deepened."

"I close my eyes and can 'see' how much is in the gourd."

Hao Qing lowered her voice: "Yiyi, I think we can spend all the remaining crystal cores."

Shen Yiyi: “You mean, replace them all with food and water and put them in the gourd?”

"The gourd is not big. We tie it around our waists with a rope and cover it with clothes. No one will know how much supplies we have on us, and no one will come to rob us."

Shen Yiyi smiled bitterly: “Those people robbed us, are they just looking at whether we have supplies?”

Hao Qing was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "So we have to find a deserted place and work hard to become stronger. If no team recruits us, we will become a team ourselves."

-

Wu Feng returned to the West District Base overnight and returned home during the heavy fog in the early morning.

"Brother? You're back?"

"Xiao Feng? Did you find that person?"

Facing his mother and sister's concerns, Wu Feng first briefly described his situation outside, and then said, "The convenience store owner is the third-level space ability user who sold us the supplies cheaply! His last name is Xie. Oh, and I bought a treasure from Mr. Xie when I went to the store this time."

He took out two gourds.

Wu Xuan was about to pick up one of them when she suddenly felt a sharp pain and pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted.

"Huh?"

"Oh, this, I have activated the anti-theft mark."

Wu Feng explained it in detail again, and the two people's eyes became brighter after listening.

Song Hui said: "With this, we can put our crystal core and important items in it, and carry the gourd with us without worrying about it being stolen."

The base had a rule that prohibited looting other people's supplies. Once caught, their supplies would be confiscated and they would be expelled from the base. But at this time, everyone had little sense of the law, and since they were not allowed to rob people openly, a group of people with extremely high stealing skills emerged.

People with extra money hate these people the most.

Wu Xuan's eyes rolled. "Brother, you just said that Boss Xie has a buy-one-get-one-free promotion today?"

Wu Feng smiled bitterly: "Yes, but our family doesn't have that much money. If we want to save up a thousand crystal cores, we have to go out for at least two days."

Song Hui said, "I've sold vegetables for almost three hundred crystal cores these past two days."

Wu Feng: "That's not enough."

Wu Xuan asked, "Brother, how long does it take you to get to that convenience store?"

Wu Feng thought for a moment and said, "If there's enough light during the day, two hours will be enough to get to the outer area of ​​the central zone. A lot of zombies have been cleared out on the road, so there won't be much of an obstacle. It will just take some time to get through that area of ​​alien plants..."

Wu Xuan: "If you leave at noon, can you arrive before the store closes at night?"

Wu Feng: "...It should be possible."

After all, he is a third-level gold-type mutant, so he should... be able to do it, right?

At worst, he could just take the route that Ji Tianyuan took him in.

"Brother, lend me this gourd first, and wait for me to come back."

Wu Xuan took the gourd that was not marked with an anti-theft mark and left home.

Wu Feng: "Eh? Eh? Where are you going?"

That’s a small gourd worth a thousand!

Although he got it from a buy-one-get-one-free deal, it's still worth 500 crystal cores.

Song Hui stopped him: "Your sister is more active than you. She must have gone out to make money. You should go to bed quickly."

Wu Feng: “…”

He went to catch up on his sleep out of concern and slept until noon, when he saw his sister coming home happily.

Wu Xuan poured out the crystal cores from the gourd, filling the entire table. The sunlight shining through the crystal cores was so bright that it almost blinded people.

"It's a pity that it's only half a day. There aren't many people I can run to, and there are only over 13,000 crystal cores here."

Wu Xuan specifically instructed, "Use 10,000 of the crystal cores to buy gourds. If we buy one and get one free, we'll get 20 gourds. The remaining 3,000 crystal cores can all be used to buy apples!"

When Wu Feng took the crystal core to the central area, Ji Tianyuan also returned to his base.

He already had some reputation in the base, and this time he brought a dozen people directly to the central area.

-

Xie Yunsui returned to his role as a delivery boy, delivering food to the 12th floor on time every day.

I forced my way into Xiaoxi's house that day just to make sure she was safe.

After discovering that Xiaoxi was safe but extremely repulsive to him, Xie Yunsui fixed the door lock for him.

It’s just that the takeaway has changed from delivering it from the windowsill to delivering it at the door.

“Knock knock.”

Xie Yunsui placed an eight-inch four-piece thousand-layer cake at the door, turned around and was about to leave when he heard the sound of the door lock turning slightly.

He looked back and saw that the door was still closed.

Xie Yunsui deliberately made his footsteps louder as he left.

Only after hearing the footsteps gradually fading away did Lu Xizhou dare to open the door, and sure enough, there was no one at the door.

When Lu Xizhou saw that today's "takeaway" was a huge piece of cake, his expression brightened for a moment.

He took the cake home and left the banknotes at the door as usual.

Because there was no receipt next to the cake and the guy didn't say how much it cost, Lu Xizhou followed his previous experience of buying cakes and added an extra bill as a fee for running errands.

When Xie Yunsui came over, there was a note on top.

"Thank you for the cake. I'm sorry I scared you yesterday. Thank you for still bringing me food."

Seeing the familiar smiling face, Xie Yunsui's eyes were filled with smile.

When facing people, he hides under the bed in fear, but when he communicates with people using notes, he is very clear and organized.

Is Xiaoxi in this world particularly introverted?

Xie Yunsui decided to follow his example and attach a small note next time he delivered food.

When I returned to the convenience store, Wu Feng had just left.

Hao Qing reported: "He bought twenty gourds and more than thirty apples."

Xie Yunsui: "Yeah."

Hao Qing paused, and seeing that there were no customers, she went to the shelf and took out a lot of steamed buns, bottled water, and three bags of vegetable seeds, saying, "Boss, I want to buy these."

Xie Yunsui nodded: "Are you leaving?"

Shen Yiyi said on the side: “I am already well.”

"Congratulations." Xie Yunsui counted the money: "A total of 132 crystal cores."

Hao Qing took out all the remaining crystal cores, which were exactly 132 crystal cores. This was the result of her discussion with Shen Yiyi last night.

"Which base are you planning to go to next?"

"It's not easy in any base, but I heard that the leader of the South District Base is a Wood-type mutant, and most of the mutants in the base are also Wood-type. Instead of going out to clear zombies, they tend to stay in the base to grow vegetables. We want to go and take a look first."

That's why they bought three bags of vegetable seeds.

Xie Yunsui said, "Very good."

Considering that they had been getting along quite well these past few days, and although there were not many customers, both girls had done their work diligently, Xie Yunsui decided to send them out of the Venus Flytrap area.

Of course, the main reason is that we don’t want them to be swallowed by the Venus flytrap. We also hope that they can promote the convenience store in the South District.

When Ji Tianyuan and his men entered the convenience store from the other side, there was no one inside.

"Is this the convenience store you were talking about?"

The people who followed were quite embarrassed.

However, when they saw the spacious and bright convenience store, everyone's dissatisfaction with avoiding being caught by the Venus flytrap was alleviated a lot.

One of them walked in and saw that there was no one inside, but the shelves were full of food and water, and he immediately laughed out loud.

"Hahaha, is there anyone who dares to open a convenience store now?"

Ji Tianyuan frowned, feeling that there was a deeper meaning in his words, and said, "The boss may be in trouble. Let's wait a while."

"What are you waiting for? There are so many supplies waiting for us to take. We'd be foolish not to take them."

The dozen or so people who followed immediately split into two groups. One group was jealous of so many supplies and started to grab them directly.

The remaining half stood at the door and advised coldly: "A boss who dares to open a shop here must be powerful. Aren't you afraid of offending the boss and getting your life back?"

Ji Tianyuan frowned, "Gao Qiang! Did you deliberately say you were here to buy gourds? Just to rob this store?"

He also said that based on his usual reputation, how come he got so much response, and he thought that these people were moved by his words.

It turned out that what impressed them was not his words, but this convenience store from beginning to end.

Gao Qiang, who was still eating canned meat, smiled and said, "It's all thanks to you that you brought us here. Don't worry, we'll give you a share of the supplies we bring back!"

"you!"

While they were arguing, no one noticed that above the store, a small mechanical bee was flashing red light.

A bag of potato chips was thrown on the ground and someone stepped on it. With a bang, the potato chip crumbs flew everywhere.

Footprints covered with potato chip crumbs trampled across the ground, along with spit, attracting the attention of an ultra-modern-looking trash can in the corner.

Rubbish.

Rubbish!

A circle of red light lit up on the Youyou barrel, and two robotic arms extended out.

When Xie Yunsui returned to the store, he found Youyou trying hard to push someone into the trash bin.

"Help!"
