Chapter 242: I Still Have to Charge

Seeing this, the survivors lined up close to the wall, panic showing on their faces.

I don’t know what happened again.

Mom, they just got here, please don’t change anything.

After hearing the noise, Hu Zi ran out of the grocery store carrying his luggage and stood in front of the Sang sisters. "What's going on? Stand behind me quickly."

Sang Zhengyi and his mother walked to the side to clear the road. The family gathered together and stood in front of the survivors they brought.

Just when they thought the team was just passing through on an emergency mission, the team stopped in front of Xia Yan. The captain took a step forward and raised his arm in a standard salute.

"Boss Xia, this is the letter General Chu asked me to bring you. Please check it."

A sealed envelope was handed to him and Xia Yan opened it.

The Sang family and the survivors all relaxed. Fortunately, they were not looking for them.

Sang Zhengyi comforted him, "Everyone, continue to queue up and don't worry about things that don't concern you."

The door of the restaurant opened, and at least half of the customers who were full and reluctant to leave walked out. The crowded restaurant suddenly became mostly empty.

"Those behind please go inside."

The long queue moves, and the delicious food right in front of you makes everyone forget about other things.

Xia Yan pulled out a piece of paper with a simple sentence written on it: "This is the vanguard team. Please send them over first. I'll be there tomorrow." Signed: Chu Wanfu.

The sloppy handwriting has not yet dried, and it is obvious that it has just been written.

At this speed, it seems that someone went back to report as soon as I appeared in the store?

Xia Yan folded the paper and stuffed it back into the envelope. "You all have cards, right? The fee to go through the portal is 50 per person."

Captain: ...The general didn’t say that I have to pay points. Can I get it reimbursed when I come back?

“Both.”

"Okay, let's go."

She dived into the glass first and then disappeared behind the portal.

"Let's go!" The captain waved his hand, and the team members entered one after another.

I only heard an electronic voice ringing in my ears, "50 points will be deducted, do you want to pay?"

"yes."

The customers sitting by the windows in the restaurant looked at the people coming towards them and disappearing in the blink of an eye, but the portal was still floating on the glass, showing no signs of disappearing. Their mouths widened in surprise.

In their memories, teleportation was not uncommon, but it was always limited by time and the strength of supernatural powers.

My goodness, how long can this portal last? Isn't it a waste of power if it's left alone?

Some even ran out of the store and looked inside to see what was on the other side of the portal.

He came back a second later and smacked his lips, "They actually charge a fee. 50 points a time! If you add a little more, you can go upstairs for a buffet and get a cup."

Wow, that’s really expensive. Crystal cores are hard to earn these days, so I can’t afford it.

Seeing this, his originally eager heart was dampened and he lost interest. He comforted himself by thinking that there must be danger over there, otherwise why would the army go in there? It would be better not to join in the fun.

...

Xia Yan walked out of the portal and stood in the safe area of the main store.

The cautious vanguard team stepped out with their superpowers in hand. The first thing they saw was the dense swarms of zombies right in front of them - the portal was too close to the protective shield.

His movements were faster than his brain's reaction. He swung his hand and a bunch of superpowers were blasted out. As his heartbeat was intense and he stepped back, he suddenly found that the superpowers penetrated a layer of soft protective shield and hit the zombies.

The zombies were blown into pieces, and the foul-smelling blood splattered everywhere, falling on the protective shield and slowly sliding down.

"Huh, luckily there is a protective shield, but what's going on with this portal? Why is it placed in this position?" The team member muttered softly, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

As soon as I came out, I came face to face with a group of zombies. Anyone would be scared.

The captain hushed and glanced in Xia Yan's direction, reminding his teammates that they were still there and to be careful with their words.

"Thank you for your hard work. Will you go back tonight? I still have a room available. Please go to the front desk to check in if you need one." Xia Yan tilted his head slightly with a smile on his face.

The captain nodded, "We can also show—"

Wait, is that tall building behind them a resort hotel? Are they standing in the vacant area in front of the hotel?

Not only the captain, but also several team members behind him were surprised.

In their imagination, the hotel was only 7 or 8 stories high, a little bit better than the branch. But when they saw it with their own eyes, they found that the main building had more than 30 stories and was magnificent!

Who knows how luxurious it is in there.

"Captain, shall we stay here for one night?" the teammates whispered. Not to mention now, they had never stayed in a five-star hotel before, so they should seize the opportunity to enjoy themselves.

The captain hesitated, who knew if it was expensive... "Complete the mission first, we'll talk later."

Business is more important. Don't you see the zombies outside? If you dig out a few crystal cores, you can cover your accommodation expenses. If you get a few more, you can also get food expenses.

Seeing them getting busy, Xia Yan automatically stepped back, asked the employees to bring a rocking chair, and lay comfortably on it to watch the fun.

The customers upstairs leaned their heads out and saw a small military team suddenly appear in the safe zone. They came downstairs one after another, sitting on the ground in groups of three or five, eating melon seeds and drinking hot water, looking very leisurely.

The young boys were curious about what they were doing, squatting not far away and asking questions from time to time. The clever Bai You noticed something was wrong and whispered to Bai Zuo, and the two of them went upstairs to get tools.

Unlike what Xia Yan thought, the vanguard team circled the safe zone and took a count, then ran to the top floor to observe the surrounding terrain, drew a rough topographic map, and finally returned to the first floor to take out the special-powered gun that was personally modified by the owner of the weapons shop.

"Ahhh, they're going to kill zombies."

Only then did the customers realize what they were going to do. They didn't even bother to eat the melon seeds and went back to the house to get their things.

The vanguard team had never killed zombies so easily before. They stood at the edge of the protective shield, shot down one zombie after another, and took advantage of the zombies behind them not paying attention to perform a one-handed takeout of the crystal core. They didn't suffer any injuries at all, which was so comfortable.

The captain glanced at the equally busy crowd beside him, swung the "hammer" with his right hand, and then hooked it with his left hand, with extremely high efficiency.

It seems even faster than them. Is this the wisdom of the masses?

The vanguard team was hit hard and moved to the side.

It was not until they finished work in the evening that they realized how touchingly cheap the hotel room rates were.

"The second floor is a restaurant, the third floor has a hot pot restaurant and a barbecue restaurant, and there is a buffet restaurant opposite. You are welcome to try them." Xia Yan helped them book a suite and introduced them by the way.

The vanguard team's steps weakened as they stepped into the golden elevator, their heads still feeling a little dizzy.

Wow, it feels like I'm back in the civilized era.

At this time, the elevator stopped on the second floor and a group of customers came in. I nodded to them kindly.

The Vanguard Squad responded with silly grins, becoming even more confused.

Is it that disaster is exclusive to them?

Just the residents they saw were physically strong and energetic, and more importantly, everyone was kind and calm, which was very rare in the context of the end times.
