Xia Yan: You said it was a vacation? Where's the scenery? Is it zombies?...
Chapter 323 I’m Coming
Everyone thought it was a bomb and stood there, not daring to move.
They looked at the numbers above each other's heads that kept decreasing, and their hearts were about to jump out.
"What on earth is going on?"
"Why did this thing suddenly appear without any signs?"
"Where's Boss Xia? Come out quickly, I'm going to die..."
Just as everyone was panicking, a scrolling message appeared on the top of the large screen in the front, accompanied by an electronic sound that echoed through the hall:
"Please note that customers who do not complete any business will be expelled after three minutes. If you enter three times in a row without completing any tasks, you will be punished with a one-minute electric shock.
Please read and listen carefully to this explanation and do not violate the rules."
So that’s how it is!
As long as they are not killed, everything is fine!
Sang Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at his father: "Are we still renting lockers?"
I don’t think so. The villa is so big, it’s much better than here.
Sang Zhengyi glanced at the countdown above her head which showed only one minute left, pulled his people together, and walked outside.
"Why rent? Isn't a villa nice? Just come in and get to know the situation. The crystal core is in your pocket, so of course you have to spend it sparingly."
"Let's go outside and take a look. If it doesn't rain, we can hurry up and go out to pick some fruit!"
Some customers who wanted to experience everything shook their legs and found someone whose time was within two seconds of theirs. They looked at each other, watched the number gradually return to zero, and shouted:
"Time is up!"
It instantly attracted the attention of people around.
Two people were seen floating in the air, as if being lifted up by something, and a big hole appeared on the wall.
The two men's bodies retreated uncontrollably one meter in the air and were then thrown out.
While the cave entrance was still open, the customers inside could see the two people sliding and sitting on the beach unharmed, looking back with excitement on their faces.
“It’s so fun!”
"Reminds me of the Death Swing!"
Xia Yan's face was full of black lines.
There were quite a few customers who applied for rental and left immediately, stuffing all their hidden belongings into the storage space.
The points cards on their wrists also have a new function.
[Inside the storage space: 20 crystal cores]
Looking at the number, they smiled secretly.
Finally, they don’t have to hide things on their bodies and always be nervous. They also have space to store things, and they can finally go hunting zombies without any worries!
Just like the numbers on your bank card, the longer the better! It gives you a greater sense of security!
But at the same time, there are still many customers waiting and watching.
They were waiting for the rain to stop outside and for the first batch of dried goods to be dried before they came over to rent a storage space.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of points during this period?
As for the crystal core in your pocket, don't worry, everyone dares to come and snatch the crystal core from a team of powerful people with various superpowers.
When the time was almost reaching zero, these people turned around and left.
Xia Yan looked at the panel in the center of the hall. The number of spaces with the largest area at the top had increased to 4.
Just now, she suddenly thought of it.
Why must Chu Wanfu’s storage space be placed vertically?
If someone comes to rent it later, can't she just install it in the upper space?
The area of the ground is limited, but the space above is infinite.
Just keep adding it up until you reach the top, and then install an elevator or something else later, right?
...
Heavy rain continued for a week.
This morning, Xia Yan opened the curtains and found that the clouds outside were very thin and transparent. A white halo behind the clouds was visible to the naked eye. The torrential rain gradually subsided as early as midnight.
At this moment, only thin rain lines were blown sideways by the wind, falling on the puddles and splashing ripples.
"The rain is going to stop," she muttered.
After changing into a suit with thin cotton, she first walked into Lidai Island and looked around.
The clear sea water is still azure blue, and the eight huge pipes deep into the seabed are filled with shrimps, crabs and seafood, with golden halos sweeping across them.
Because the quantity is so large, the purification process is very slow.
Xia Yan roughly estimated that it would take another week to completely purify it.
It doesn’t matter, what she has the most is time.
Just wait and don't rush.
There are not many customers in Lidai Island at the moment. I guess they see that the rain is about to stop outside and are worried about their own homes. They are no longer in the mood to sit here idly.
Xia Yan walked through the resort door, returned to the lobby, and looked out through the bright floor-to-ceiling windows.
The safe zone was indeed packed with people, some standing and some sitting.
From time to time, there was a sound of people sucking in their breath.
"What are they looking at?"
Xia Yan asked Zhikang who was cleaning nearby.
Xiongxiong has been working in the grocery store at the branch store for some time, and the cleaning of the main store lobby basically falls on Zhikang's shoulders.
In fact, he didn't have to do it himself, after all, Xia Yan had arranged two or three employees.
But Zhichang said, "I'm used to Xiongxiong leading the way every day. I always feel that they don't clean carefully enough and don't clean even the smallest corners properly. Anyway, I have nothing to do anyway, so it won't be tiring to do a little work."
Seeing him like this, Xia Yan had no choice but to say, "Go and rest after you finish your work. It's raining today, so there's no way there's so much dust."
Zhichang smiled and nodded, replying to her previous question: "General Chu led people to clean up the bugs early in the morning. The customers probably felt disgusted by the sight of bugs."
"Did you see what kind of bugs they dug up?"
"Hmm... looks a bit like a giant wireworm, isn't it? A larger version."
Xia Yan found the animated picture he had seen before in his mind. The insect body was twisting and winding, which was indeed a bit disgusting.
She didn't want to seek abuse, but the noise in the crowd was too attractive to a person with a strong sense of curiosity.
She is so weird sometimes. Even though she knows that watching it will cause physical discomfort, her mind is still full of urgings to go and take a look.
Hypnotize yourself.
Who else?!
Her mind told her not to go, but her legs had their own ideas.
When she came to her senses, the person was already standing in front of the protective shield.
I saw a group of tightly wrapped pioneer teams, two people in a group, one holding insecticide and flamethrower, and the other holding a shovel and shoveling the ground heavily.
He stomped his foot hard on the shovel, as if he was going to cut the insect in two.
Strong hands gripped the shovel handle and pushed down, digging out fresh, muddy black soil.
Another person swept across the soil, confirmed that there were no insects, and looked into the pit.
The puddle on the side slowly flows down along the wall of the pit.
The bottom of the pit, which was originally empty, was flooded with rainwater, and a long red worm instantly emerged!
Squeak——
The man quickly pressed the insecticide, and saw the red worms twisting their bodies even more violently, looking very scary.
At this time, a shovel fell from the sky and directly cut the insect into two pieces.
Looking at the insect body twisting wildly on the ground, a steady voice came from behind the isolation shield:
"Don't waste the pesticide. I'll do it."
