*Hi! Want to check in?*
In the year 2XXX, a meteor falls, the zombie virus rages, soil and water sources are polluted, the climate is abnormally reversed, and humanity's homeland is slowl...
"Yes... of course I'm interested!" Chen Hua suppressed his excitement. This kind of bracelet that can hold things without activating spatial abilities is definitely a hot commodity! "We need to discuss it first."
Chen Hua immediately pulled Li Xia back to the team and discussed with other members. Originally, they only wanted to resell a few to make a profit, but now that they have the space bracelet, they are no longer worried about not having enough space. However, the total number of crystal cores is still relatively large, so they need to pool them within the team.
After a while, Chen Hua came over with a bag full of crystal cores. The team members reluctantly gave 30 crystal cores each, making a total of 180.
It's not that he can't afford it, it's mainly because that's all he has on him. He previously thought that fifty or sixty crystal cores were useless, but he was already very generous in carrying them. The rest he and Li Xia would each contribute half.
Speaking of the importance of tying a cowhide bag around the waist, the crystal core is not very big, about the size of a fingernail, otherwise it would be difficult to carry it on the body.
Chen Hua took the crystal core and first found Shi Jiu to decide what he wanted.
"Twenty portions each of instant noodles, water, and sausages, that's four hundred crystal cores. Ten portions of underwear, half for men and half for women, for a total of five hundred crystal cores."
"Okay, then I'll get some other goods for you. You pay first." Shi Jiu decided to buy this batch of goods directly in the mall, collect the crystal core first and take out the space bracelet first.
[Ding! Long-term mission: Spend a ton of money. Mission details: Customers must spend 500 crystal cores (1/N) in the store once. Missions can be stacked. Mission reward: Complete once to receive a (5m*5m) space bracelet*1. Rewards can be stacked.]
"Come with me to the warehouse to pick up the goods later." The long-term task has been completed once, and the space bracelet has been obtained. This batch of goods will not be picked up from the vending machine. Place another order and go to the warehouse to pick it up.
She quickly placed an order for the goods Chen Hua wanted on her tablet and transferred them to the warehouse behind her. She planned to take Chen Hua in directly later.
Now she is not afraid of the warehouse being seen by others. After all, she is invincible in the hotel, and she has no intention of stepping out. Therefore, based on her invincible state, there is nothing she can't do. She is so willful!
Shi Jiu thought about how good it felt to be invincible, and turned to let Chen Hua follow. After entering the warehouse, Shi Jiu took the bracelet from the shelf and gave it to him.
"Activate this bracelet first. You can use it after establishing a relationship." Shi Jiu looked at the activation steps on the tablet and taught step by step.
"Because you are a mutant, you need to close your eyes first, slowly find your perception, and then try to project your perception outward and touch the bracelet."
Perception...what is it?
Chen Hua felt that Shi Jiu's words were very vague. He had only been a psychic for a short time, and he had never understood the concept of perception. It was only when she talked about it that he realized the existence of such a thing.
He closed his eyes and tried hard to find the so-called perception. Slowly, he felt a transparent thread in his mind slowly extending out.
He was immediately surprised. Is this perception?
Without thinking too much, he quickly controlled the string to fall onto the bracelet next to him. The transparent string extended in his direction, and the next second he felt as if the string had tied a knot on the bracelet, tightly connecting him to the bracelet.
After feeling that his perception and the bracelet were tightly intertwined, Chen Hua finally opened his eyes. Shi Jiu saw him open his eyes and asked hurriedly: "Is it bound? Is everything okay?"
She followed the steps given by the system. She had never tried it herself, and it showed that only people with special abilities could use it. She was unsure about it and was afraid that she would accidentally injure someone.
"I've been bound to the bracelet, it's nothing." After Chen Hua opened his eyes, he saw Shi Jiu in front of him and couldn't help but smile. The feeling of being bound was very strange, but it was within his control, which was magical.
"I'm glad there's nothing wrong." Shi Jiu was relieved and urged him to get down to business first. "Hurry up and load the cargo. You've been here for several minutes. Your teammates outside must be worried about you."
After the bracelet was bound, it was directly put on Chen Hua's hand. The way to put the goods in was to raise his hand and sweep over the rows of goods. Chen Hua walked while sweeping the goods. Looking at the warehouse that seemed to have no boundaries, he felt even more mysterious about the boss's origins.
Shi Jiu, who was standing aside and watching him shopping, felt that this action was really childish. He was a bit like a soldier following orders, or like an emotionless shopping machine.
After a while, all the goods were cleared out, the payment was made, and Shi Jiu took Chen Hua out of the warehouse.
As soon as they saw them come out, Chen Hua's team members rushed over.
"Captain, are you okay?"
"Where's our cargo?"
"Is that space bracelet real? How do you use it?"
The team members' barrage of questions left Chen Hua with no time to react. Finally, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright. I'll answer any questions you have on the way back. I've got the goods, and we're ready to head back to base now."
Just as they were about to leave, the door of room 105 opened, and Sun He looked up and saw it.
Seeing that they were in excellent spirits and walking towards the door, Sun He knew they were preparing to return to the base. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Wait a minute, we want to go with you."
Even though they had become enemies the night before, Sun He felt a little regretful when he woke up the next morning.
Although he really hates Chen Hua and the others now, he is more worried about whether he can return to the base safely. Compared to face, an extremely selfish person like him is obviously more worried about his own life.
Moreover, they had moved in together last night. When there were more people around, Sun He didn't feel anything. But when he was alone and thought about it, he started to worry that the owner of this store might kidnap him and ask his family for supplies when he wasn't paying attention. After all, he was a well-known person in the base. What if...
If Shi Jiu knew what he was thinking, he would probably be speechless. How could he be so shameless?
Chen Hua looked at the man in front of him and remembered his hideous face last night, and the pure and lovely Zhou Yan who followed behind him. This woman was not a good thing either. Sun He was stupid and she was vicious. She almost led them to feed the zombies last night.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sneer, "You have nothing to do with our team anymore. I really have no obligation to protect people who are not in our team." Then he took the team members out.
"You guys!" Sun He's temper flared up again, and he shouted at his back, "Then don't expect to have a good life when you return to the base!"
"Let's talk about it after you return to the base." Chen Hua's voice gradually faded away. At worst, he would just not stay in the base. Who's afraid of who?
"Brother Sun, what should we do now?" Zhou Yan couldn't help but feel anxious after seeing Chen Hua and the others leave. Can they really return to the base safely with only the two of them?
"How should I know!" Sun He looked at her impatiently. This woman was useless to have around. She couldn't even keep the team together.
At this time, they push the problem onto others and never reflect on their own behavior. Who, after experiencing what happened before, would be nice to someone who wants to persecute him?
Zhou Yan looked at his impatient and somewhat disgusted eyes, and suddenly felt a chill on her back. She couldn't help but raise her arms and hug herself.
"Then... I..." He hesitated for a while but couldn't say anything.
Sun He gave the door one last vicious look. Now that they were the only two people there, he didn't dare to go back. He might as well think about what to do here first. So he turned and walked towards the front desk, "Boss, I want to extend my room!"
Shi Jiu was looking at the farm on the tablet, checking the vegetables harvested from last night to this morning.
She had unlocked five plots of land before, and with the mission rewards, there were six plots of land in total. The 30 seeds from last night were just used up, allowing her to harvest 15 portions of lettuce and 15 portions of tomatoes.
I can’t finish so much by myself. Shi Jiu clicked on the lettuce icon and the tablet immediately popped up with options.
[Get to warehouse] [No way]
Before I had time to figure out that there was no solution, the guest came.
"Sure, how many people?" Shi Jiu didn't even raise his head after hearing Sun He's words. He first selected a portion of lettuce and took it out. After completing the operation, he did not hear any response from the customer.
When she looked up, she found Sun He standing in front of the counter, staring at her, which made her feel uncomfortable.
"How many people?" Shi Jiu frowned and repeated the question.
What's Sun He up to again? She caused trouble in the store the day before, but since they didn't do anything, she didn't pursue the matter and just stood by and watched. Now she's trying to do something bad to her again?!
The woman in front of him had black hair, almond-shaped eyes, and fair, delicate skin, which was rare in the current apocalyptic environment. Even Zhou Yan, who was standing behind him, with her pitiful and delicate appearance, had somewhat sallow skin.
"Boss, why don't you just follow me? You can eat and drink with me in the base. Why bother opening a shop here? It's dangerous and there's no guarantee. The zombies outside don't care how pretty you are."
Sun He looked impatient. He had a falling out with Chen Hua and the others yesterday, and for a while he didn't notice how pretty this boss was. Now he was a little tired of Zhou Yan, so a change of taste would be nice. He put aside his previous worries. Perhaps in his eyes, women had no capital to reject him.
Zhou Yan, who was standing behind him, had a blank expression on her face when she heard this. It seemed that she had experienced this many times. Maybe she had been in Shi Jiu's position before, but now the situation has changed and she has become the one who is disliked.
"You bastard, you are so naive!" Shi Jiu laughed at his greasy and domineering tone and said sarcastically.
Has this guy never left the so-called base since the apocalypse? Doesn't he have any idea what the current situation is?
It's the end of the world! What's the point of eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks? That so-called base might not even be able to grow vegetables, and they still eat the meat of strange beasts. How can it be as comfortable as her hotel where she has food and shelter and is not afraid of being killed by zombies?
"What did you say?" Sun He didn't react for a moment when he heard her words, and Shi Jiu really guessed it right. Sun He has never left the base since the end of the world. All this is because he has a good father and a good uncle.
His father and uncle both awakened their special powers after the end of the world. They were originally from a well-off family, and as times make heroes, they formed gangs and established a safe zone, which later gradually evolved into a base.
Thanks to his family, Sun He only knew that the world had changed and zombies had appeared. However, as an ordinary person, he had no abilities, did not want to exercise, and avoided zombies.
His family also dotes on him, especially his uncle, who has high martial arts skills and a high status in the base. They always give him the good things first.
He came out on a whim this time, wanting to learn how to kill zombies. His family taught him for a day or two and then entrusted him to Chen Hua's Seventh Team, so Sun He's view of the current world is naive.
He naively believed that everyone had to obey him and be nice to him. He naively believed that as long as he opened his mouth, he would get whatever he wanted. Gradually, he lost his self-awareness.
