Dinner time soon arrived. The construction site had stopped and everyone, tired after a whole afternoon of work, rushed to the restaurant. Jiu specially added new dishes to the dinner this time.

The plump white pigs on the ranch have been slaughtered, and a variety of delicious dishes are available. There are even two new set menus for tonight.

One dish is Mapo Tofu with braised pork, stir-fried seasonal vegetables and a bowl of pork bone soup, while the other is poached chicken with stir-fried pork and lettuce, also with vegetables and soup.

The prices are reasonable and the dishes are brightly colored, which makes people's appetites grow.

The guests were sitting in the restaurant, eating and chatting animatedly. Yan Yue knew that there was a restaurant in the hotel. Seeing that it was almost time, he went downstairs to have another meal, wanting to feel the power of his supernatural powers again.

As a result, when they stood at the door of the restaurant and looked at the lively scene inside, they were somewhat unbelievable.

Shi Jiu had just come out after having a full meal when he met Yan Yue who looked like he was hesitant to go in. He thought that Yan Yue thought there were too many people inside and didn't want to eat in such an atmosphere.

"Boss, there are so many people here. Are they all... guests? I didn't see many people when I checked in this afternoon!"

I didn't see any of them inside the hotel, but I saw quite a few coolies outside the window.

"Oh, they accepted the mission and are working on the apartment building during working hours." Shi Jiu pointed to the large electronic screen behind him. "Yes, the mission is over there, but the number of people has reached the upper limit."

"Those people...are they guests of the hotel?" Yan Yue began to doubt himself. Weren't they just coolies? That small dark room... He turned to look at the high-definition headshots of people still diligently working in reform school on TV.

Shi Jiu looked at his reaction and suddenly thought of something. He was a little amused and said, "Mr. Yan, you don't think I'm the kind of cruel foreman who exploits old black slaves, do you?"

Yan Yue clenched his fists a little embarrassedly, put them on his mouth and coughed twice. He felt a little embarrassed to be exposed in front of the main person.

"Don't worry, except for a few who are deliberately stirring up trouble, they will be released in a couple of days. The rest are all unforgivable scum. After the situation stabilizes, I will personally find the relevant departments responsible to detain these scum."

Yan Yue had no interest at first, but after hearing about so many scumbags, he became interested and pulled Shi Jiu to ask what exactly happened.

Shi Jiu spoke briefly, emphasizing the unforgivable crimes committed by those scumbags, and finally, he added one more sentence.

"Mr. Yan, if you encounter something similar, if you can beat them, send them to me. If you can't, you can come to me. I'm on a mission to put these scumbags in a small dark room for forced labor."

As Yan Yue listened, he felt that the characters in the story seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them before. After a brief chat, he went to eat.

Shi Jiu looked at his back, "Anhe Base..." Thinking of the news just coming from Chen Hua, it seems that a group of more people may be added to the small dark room.

For the next two days, Yan Yue stayed in the hotel, only coming down at mealtimes. He spent the rest of the time resting in his room. His subordinates who followed him were secretly puzzled, but he never explained.

We stayed there until the apartment was completed and the hotel was eight days old when it opened.

In the past two days, people have been checking into the hotel one after another, and the hotel rooms are almost full.

At noon, the last brick of the apartment was laid, and the entire task was completely completed. Shi Jiu immediately settled the task and distributed all the remuneration. Many customers swiped their cards and happily discussed it with their family and friends.

"Combined with the crystal core from before, I can live here for quite some time."

"Who says not? But when can I live in a room? Although the big bunk bed is also very luxurious, I still prefer the house!"

"Do you think the apartment we're going to build will be ready for use right away? The environment inside is amazing, it's like a dream home. Even though it's a little small, it's better than nothing!"

…

[Ding! The first apartment building is complete. Unlock its blueprints. The more guests, the better~]

The system also popped up a notification, and the originally gray apartment was immediately filled with light. Looking around, there were brand new and white exterior walls, layers of houses, and neatly planned balconies.

As expected of an apartment building with 600 units, I don’t have to worry about having no place to stay in the hotel for the time being.

Everyone seemed to have their thinking interfered with by the system, and they didn't realize that with only more than 200 people, they could actually build such a tall building in just two days.

I didn't realize the difference between the before and after of the apartment was so big. Looking at the beautiful house, everyone was discussing when they could move in and how much it would cost.

Shi Jiu took Qin Lou and walked straight into the apartment. Although the layout was not as gorgeous as the hotel, there was a specially designed lobby on the first floor. It was not large in area and was a bit like the dormitory she lived in when she was in college.

There were room doors in a row, and a long corridor with stairs. She opened one at random. It was not big, with a standard configuration of one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The lighting was quite good, and the area was about 50 square meters.

Currently, it is only equipped with a 1.5m*2m bed and a sofa in the living room. The rest has to be arranged by yourself.

Shi Jiu took a look at the price marked by the system. He could rent or buy the house. Renting a house would only cost 500 crystal cores per month, and the water and electricity would be charged a corresponding amount. If it exceeded the amount, additional crystal cores would be charged. Buying a house would cost 10,000 crystal cores, including water and electricity.

Shi Jiu looked at the above regulations and felt that they were pretty good. They could prevent some people from thinking that water and electricity were free and wasting resources wantonly.

As for the price, it is not very expensive and most families can afford it.

After Shi Jiu looked at the house, he returned to the hotel. Many guests were still discussing it after lunch, and some even couldn't wait to check in.

She listened for a long time and found no suspicion about the hotel, so she felt relieved. She had been worried that the hotel's extraordinary development would scare or make them suspicious, and she would have to face the guests' doubts.

Shi Jiu added the room conditions of the apartment to the hotel rooms, but there was a hard rule on it.

If you rent, you must stay in the hotel for seven days (except when you make a significant contribution to the hotel). There is no time limit for purchasing, but each person can only purchase one apartment of the same type.

Shi Jiu thought about it and wondered if he participated in the construction of the apartment, would it be considered a significant contribution?

After she incorporated the apartment into the guest rooms, many guests immediately noticed it and came forward with their membership cards to inquire about related matters.

Shi Jiu just wanted to see if this group of guests could rent an apartment, so he explained the reason to them.

After the first guest who wants to rent an apartment swipes the card and clicks on the apartment rental, the membership machine will automatically display whether the guest has stayed in the hotel for seven days. If not, whether he or she has made a significant contribution to continue renting.

[Ding! Major contribution approved, please process the rental procedures for the guest! ]

Seeing this, Shi Jiu immediately called Wang Yue over.

"Wang Yue, you can help guests with the rental procedures here. Of course, you can also help them buy houses. Please give them a general idea of ​​the apartment."

Soon, the news that the apartment was available for rent spread throughout the hotel, and a large group of people crowded the lobby. Currently, Shijiu only had two membership machines, so it was impossible to move quickly.

She uploaded the floor plan of the apartment to the electronic screen. She still hoped that guests would choose to rent the apartment. She could make money slowly by watering the flowers, but there had to be room in the hotel for new guests.

The apartment has a relatively high cost-effectiveness, and a family of three can squeeze in. She estimates that there must be larger buildings to be built in the future, which will be more suitable for young couples or single people.

With everyone's joint efforts, most of the guests have completed the apartment rental process and are now returning to their rooms to pack their belongings and prepare to move in.

There are also a small number of people who prefer to stay in the hotel room, which has everything ready and they can eat downstairs. Those who have enough crystal cores in their pockets for the time being did not take any action.

Watching the huge army starting to move things, Shi Jiu silently opened the warehouse and put out the department store that had been prepared for a long time.

The department store is very large and has two floors. Shi Jiu did not put it in front of the lobby, but instead placed it in the open space between the two walkways leading to the apartments at the back.

It is right between the hotel and the apartment, and everything in the department store comes from Shijiu’s updated mall.

Previously, the mall only gave two items at level one, for fear of giving her too much food, but at level 4, half of the mall was unlocked, and some basic daily items were unlocked.

From large items like TVs and washing machines to small items like snacks and drinks, it only unlocks the food area, daily necessities area and furniture area.

However, the items inside are exactly what families who have just moved into an apartment need. The prices are favorable, and decorating a new home only costs a little money, so you should be able to make a small profit.

Items from the department store can be supplied in the mall, and everything is back on track. The survivors who were originally wandering in the apocalypse now have their basic living necessities met, and they seem to be in much better spirits.

After packing their luggage, many people found the department store, checked the balance of their membership cards and crystal cores, and went in to make purchases.

Pulling a small cart and putting everything you like into the cart, it has been a long time since I last felt this peaceful and quiet feeling while shopping in the supermarket.

The department store has self-service checkout and systematic observation, so Shi Jiu is not worried about anyone stealing things. A large poster is posted at the entrance to remind every customer who enters.

The customers who successfully bought good things were full of joy. They had been staying here for several days and had made many friends. Now that they had some free time, they couldn't help but express their emotions.

"I'm so lucky! I listened to my friends and came here. If I had stayed in the previous base, I would have starved to death!"

"Who says not? Even if the competition here gets fiercer in the future, I'm not afraid. As long as I have food to eat and a safe place to live, I can go out and fight zombies. Not having food is the real problem! My child almost starved to death in the base."

"I heard that people were secretly eating in the base before..."

"What?! That's too scary..."
