Chapter 244 Just met

"If I remember correctly, you are Sang Yu's father?"

Xia Yan stood up from the rocking chair and looked at the middle-aged man opposite him with a white beard on his chin.

He said, "Yes, my name is Sang Zhengyi, and we just met yesterday."

Yesterday, the two Sang Yu sisters surrounded her, and it seemed like there was a couple standing behind them. Before she could say hello, she was interrupted by the vanguard team, and then she left.

Xia Yan gestured for him to sit down and talk.

"Please repeat it again. The cannon fire was too loud and I couldn't hear it clearly."

Sang Zhengyi coughed and shifted his gaze from the magnificent hotel building to the spacious safe zone. The entire building was covered with a protective shield and was the safest place in the midst of war.

He became more determined in his thoughts.

"Boss Xia, I'm looking for General Chu. Do you know where he is?"

Although Boss Xia might have more job opportunities, he had just met her and didn't understand the situation. Asking directly would leave a bad impression.

He also found that neither the branch nor the head office had hired any additional employees, which meant that Boss Xia had no intention of hiring any workers. The best way was to find an opportunity to cooperate with her himself.

But how to cooperate?

Sang Zhengyi couldn't think of any cooperation plan that could impress her for a while, so he could only take the first step and see.

"General Chu, he should be upstairs, on the 32nd floor. You can just take the elevator up."

Xia Yan pointed to the door, watched Sang Zhengyi leave, then closed her eyes and took a nap. Despite the buzzing sounds in her ears and the constant roars of zombies, she was able to sleep peacefully.

Sang Zhengyi was the only one in the elevator. He glanced at the surveillance camera above his head and withdrew his hand from pressing the button.

You don’t know until you see it, and it’s shocking. I think Boss Xia was sent by God to save the world.

He could hardly hide the excitement in his heart, and felt that the old saying "Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise" made sense.

If the surrounding bases had not united to exclude him, how could they have left their original place and embarked on an unknown journey?

What I thought was a dead end suddenly turned out to be a ray of hope.

Sang Zhengyi secretly clenched his fists and had a rough blueprint in his mind.

When he walked out of the elevator, General Chu was holding a telescope and the staff officer beside him was reporting the latest situation. He was tactful enough not to go forward to disturb them and walked around the 32nd floor quietly.

Not long after, General Chu beckoned him over and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Chu Wanfu noticed him the moment he stepped out of the elevator. The obvious chilblains on his face and hands showed that he had come through the portal. He didn't believe that he just came to watch the fun out of boredom.

Facing the gazes of five or six people who said, "If you dare to lie, take you back for a thorough investigation," Sang Zhengyi cleared his throat, briefly introduced himself, and then mentioned that there was a group of disabled people behind him who were in urgent need of jobs to support themselves.

"In order not to bring more burden to the base, I took the risk and came here to see if there is any work that can be done here. I don't need many crystal cores, as long as I can have a meal every day and not starve to death."

He spoke sincerely and with a humble attitude.

Chu Wanfu was deeply impressed by this group of newly rescued survivors. It had been almost four years since the apocalypse, and it was a miracle that these ordinary people with missing limbs had survived to this day. It was obvious that the base commander had put in a lot of effort to protect them.

Chu Wanfu felt respect, but would not give in easily.

"Your idea is good, but this is a battlefield out there. Even people with special abilities can hardly guarantee their survival, let alone you. Go back. There will be public job postings at the base."

He would not say anything to show special care for others, as that would be unfair to others.

Everyone in the base has a mouth to feed and needs to use crystal cores to buy food. In this respect, everyone is equal.

If a leader opens a back door, will the people below him follow suit and accept bribes to get priority in work arrangements?

Chu Wanfu raised the telescope again.

Sang Zhengyi, who failed to achieve his goal, felt that his behavior was reasonable and that if he were in his position, he would make the same choice.

There is no way, there is no absolute fairness and justice in the world.

He was not discouraged. After saying goodbye, he walked up the stairs, intending to observe each level to see if there were any suitable business opportunities.

But I didn't expect that I couldn't enter the wide-open door of the stairwell, as if there was a layer of transparent glass, and I couldn't step in. It wasn't until the third floor that the barrier disappeared.

Sang Zhengyi looked up and saw that a hot pot restaurant and a barbecue restaurant were operating in the same row. There were employees walking around inside, and professional robots were soliciting customers at the door. Going further inside, he saw the dark store door closed with a sign saying "under renovation" on it.

He sighed and continued down to the second floor. There were long rows of dining tables neatly piled with food, with a take-your-own-food sign hanging on the top. Only a few employees were clearing the tables, and the customers were dining in an orderly manner.

If being a waiter doesn't work, try something else.

Sang Zhengyi walked into the hall, passed through the luxurious murals, returned to the safe area, and stood still in front of the protective shield.

Looking at the messy ground, crystal cores of different levels silently tempted him.

Not far away, a small team was moving quickly, picking up crystal cores from the wreckage. From time to time, they had to dodge the supernatural powers falling from the sky, pulling down many half-broken crystal cores.

Sang Zhengyi's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he suppressed the evil desires in his heart.

Having experienced hunger and cold and witnessed the absolute purchasing power of points, the crystal core in front of him kept shocking him.

His remaining rationality told him that he couldn't do that. This was official property. If they could pick it up, the residents in the building would rush down to pick it up, and it wouldn't be his turn at all.

Sang Zhengyi closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was someone beside him.

Xia Yan had just taken a sip of jasmine tea and was smacking his lips. He probably put too much tea leaves in it, so it tasted a bit bitter.

She frowned as she looked at the thick layer of zombie debris outside the safe zone. There was so much dirty blood that it couldn't seep into the mud, and it was sticky and could even be stretched into strings. There were limb fragments with exposed bones everywhere, and all the teams wore gas masks.

"This won't do. We have to talk to General Chu about clearing the battlefield." She muttered.

Sang Zhengyi was shocked, "Boss Xia, we can do it!"

Come to life!

Unexpectedly, Xia Yan glanced at him and said slowly, "That won't work. I won't pay points. This is all contracted to General Chu. How can I pay for crystal cores? Don't you agree, General Chu?"

She looked at the person who came with a smile and raised her voice.

Chu Wanfu paused and even had the urge to go back.

Sang Zhengyi, who was standing by, couldn't hide his joy in his eyes. Chu Wanfu didn't understand anything and secretly complained about the evil Party A.

"Okay, let's do as Boss Xia says. How many people do you have under you?" he asked Sang Zhengyi.

Sang Zhengyi said hurriedly, "Not counting our family of five, there are still 25 people."

Chu Wanfu said: "Yes, the main job content is to clean up the corpses outside. You are responsible for your own safety and work smartly. Each person will be given two first-level crystal cores per day. If you agree, bring people here."
