Driven out of her home by her biased parents and cruel older sister, Su Tao decided to cut ties with them completely, vowing to rather starve, freeze, and wander outside for a lifetime than ever re...
Pei Dong, who had not returned home for many days, actually came back in the middle of the night that day.
He also called a big pickup truck.
Su Tao rubbed her eyes and came out to "smuggle" supplies to her, being very careful for fear that other tenants would hear or see it.
Although she herself gave these things as humanitarian aid, it would be hard to explain to others when they saw them. It was a bit like the situation of allowing officials to set fires while the common people are not allowed to light lamps - everyone is subject to purchase restrictions, but you gave a back door to the deputy commander of the city defense army?
It’s hard to explain, so it’s better to do it secretly.
Pei Dong was also a sensible man. He asked those who came to help to keep quiet and tiptoe to carry the items away in batches.
By the time the car was full, it was almost dawn, and Su Tao urged:
"Sister Pei, that's enough. You can't eat a big fat man in one bite. Come back next time. I won't run away from here."
Pei Dong finally stopped his raid like the devils entering the village, but he was still reluctant to leave, so he asked:
"When will you have rooms available for rent? Can you reserve forty for me?"
It is better to send people inside Taoyang than to move supplies out of it.
Su Tao spit out a mouthful of blood: "If you don't have that much, just give up."
Pei Dong was slightly disappointed. "Okay, I'll come back later. I recently heard that you asked Shi Zijin for personal protection, but you still can't be careless. Try to reduce going out. That beast has already killed more than ten people, and there may even be more bodies that we haven't found yet."
Su Tao shuddered, it was so tragic.
"If you really have to go out, let me know in advance and I'll keep an eye on you."
Su Tao realized that Pei Dong wanted to use her "Eagle Eyes" to help her avoid danger. Even if she was unlucky enough to encounter him, Pei Dong could quickly locate her.
Su Tao was very grateful: "Sister Pei, you are really reliable. I will definitely report to you when I go out."
After seeing Pei Dong off, Su Tao went back to take a nap. When she woke up, she called Guan Zining to accompany her to buy a car.
With the bodyguards provided by Shi Zijin and Pei Dong's care, Su Tao felt more confident when going out.
"What kind do you want to buy? Let me give you some advice." Guan Zining asked.
"Appearances and all that are not important, as long as it runs fast and strong."
As for the price, you can buy something similar for 300,000 federal coins.
The chances of buying a good car in the end times are slim, and the car production lines have been discontinued for more than ten years, so there are fewer and fewer finished cars.
Thanks to Sister Pei for buying all kinds of daily necessities last night, she earned more than 80,000 federal coins.
Together with the previous savings, it is almost 370,000 or 380,000.
After deducting the money for buying the car, she can still have a minimum of 60,000 to 70,000 yuan.
Guan Zining mocked: "A tool for escape, I see, you really value your life."
Su Tao said calmly, "I cherish my life, I am afraid of death, and I also love pleasure."
Guan Zining was very disdainful: "Material things have corrupted your spirit."
You can only buy a car in the military area. After the end of the world, there are fewer and fewer cars, so they are basically controlled by the regime's armed forces.
If you want to buy it privately, you need someone to introduce you.
Su Tao had already greeted Shi Zijin and was successfully taken to the garage.
There were not many cars for her to choose from, all of them were small private cars with little cargo capacity, and were not often used in military areas.
But it just meets Su Tao's requirements.
She didn't know much about cars, so she asked Guan Zining to choose one for her.
Guan Zining walked around and pointed at a low-rider sports car and said:
"Let's take this one. I heard it was used for racing before the apocalypse. It has great performance, runs very fast, and has a long lifespan, but it has no roof. You can find someone to modify it yourself."
Su Tao asked her: "Can you drive this car?"
As a child born after the apocalypse, she knew nothing about driving.
Guan Zining looked pleased: "Of course."
Su Tao immediately decided: "That's it, how much is it?"
A car that can only seat two people should not be expensive.
The man who showed them the car raised his eyelids and said, "800,000 federal coins."
Su Tao: "I can't afford it, next one."
Guan Zining was quite surprised: "You don't even have 800,000? Those houses you have are worth hundreds of nice cars."
This tone, as if 800,000 is nothing, Su Tao asked her:
“How much do you make a year?”
Guan Zining said: "My military rank is not high, and I earn about 1.2 million yuan a year."
Although she earned a lot, supplies were scarce in the end times, and she had a considerable amount of savings but nowhere to spend it.
But her ambition wasn't to spend money and have fun, so it didn't matter.
Hedonist Su Tao: "Excuse me, come on, continue to help me choose, remember to choose within 300,000, I can't afford more."
Damn, the Pioneer Army really makes money. Even someone at Guan Zining's level can earn a million a year.
Wouldn't Zijin's annual salary have doubled by then? No wonder he was so generous.
Is it too late for her to change careers and join the army?
It's too expensive to maintain a system.
In the end, the two of them chose a jeep with a total price of 280,000 federal coins. It was a bit old, but its performance was still intact.
Su Tao was already very satisfied, so she asked Guan Zining to sit in the driver's seat and take her for a ride.
She has never ridden in a car before.
Guan Zining reluctantly drove her:
"It's okay to be my personal bodyguard, but now you're asking me to be your driver."
Su Tao said, "Okay, drive quickly, go around the government and military area, then take the north road to the outskirts of the city, and then go south back to Taoyang."
"Why are you taking a day trip to Dongyang? You've lived in Dongyang for over ten years, right? What's there to see? There are just those same shabby buildings all the time. And with the recent mutated zombie thing, everyone's hiding at home. You can't even see anyone you want to see."
Su Tao said: "I just want to get some fresh air."
If possible, she wouldn't want to go out and wander around. She would rather be at home with TV, sofa, hot springs and delicious food. How could that be comfortable?
But doesn't it mean you have to wander around to trigger the hidden mission?
Guan Zining cursed the man in his heart, calling him a psycho, and resigned himself to his fate as he drove off for a drive.
She just strolled until the sun went down, and the system did not give Su Tao any prompts or responses.
Was she wrong?
Or does she have to get down on her two legs and walk around?
Su Tao scratched her head and racked her brains but still couldn't figure it out. She simply put it down, ate, and went to bed early.
As soon as it was light, she picked up Guan Zining and drove out for a ride.
If she couldn't trigger it in the Dongyang base, she would go to the surrounding suburbs and continue her journey.
When Ziyue, who was busy with schoolwork, saw her about to go out again, he couldn't help but ask:
"Sister Taozi, why are you always going out lately? Dongyang is not safe lately. The zombies that sneaked into the base have killed many people. We are now being picked up by the school bus when we go to class, and we are also under the protection of the city defense army."
Su Tao said: "I also have the city defense army to look after me, and it's one-on-one care. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Shi Ziyue looked at her worriedly: "My brother asked me to keep an eye on you before he left. I don't dare go to class if you're like this. I'm afraid if something happens to you, my brother will skin me alive."
Su Tao thought of the social death scene the day before and was suddenly speechless.
She didn't really want to hear the words "Shi Zijin" right now.
"Go to class." Then he quickly climbed into the passenger seat.
Guan Zining started the car with a look of despair and stepped on the accelerator to drive out of Taoyang.
She drove for a while, stopped for a while, and put Su Tao down. This process made her feel that she was wasting her life, wasting the cost of the military district training her, wasting the supernatural power given to her by God, wasting -
The communicator suddenly rang.
"Hello? What's the matter, Sister Pei?" Su Tao answered the phone.
"Su Tao! Get out of there! Go now!!"
