Chapter 13

Most of the residents of the shelter went out to earn crystal cores. Even the weak and helpless girls like Li Yuanyuan followed the mercenary team and set off. The shelter was empty.

Ye Qing thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

Just as she was thinking hard, a siren-like alarm sounded from the protective shield outside.

【Attention, the protective shield is under attack! 】

【Attention, the protective shield is under attack! 】

The sound was so sharp and piercing that the three Mao siblings, the little beggar and others who stayed in the shelter were all startled and came over.

"Boss, what happened?"

The little beggar and Ermaozi were worried. They had finally found such a good shelter, which also provided job opportunities with food and accommodation. They must not let anything happen to them.

Damao was much calmer. He rolled up his sleeves and said with a determined look, "Boss, I will defend the safety of the shelter to the death. If you need me for anything, please let me know!"

Ye Qing: “…”

Although she knew that Damao had special abilities, she still didn't try to undermine his self-confidence.

She said a few words of comfort and then walked out of the shelter.

The automatic glass door closed behind him, and Ye Qing could see the so-called attacker clearly.

Logically speaking, the authority of the protective shield she set up was to prohibit only zombies and strange beasts from entering, and anyone could enter and exit freely, but the person in front of her could not enter the protective shield no matter how he attacked.

Why can’t he get in? Is he not human?

*

This man's name is Zeng Yi.

It turned out that he was being hunted. The enemy had many masters, but he was alone. He put up a tenacious resistance but ended up with wounds all over his body.

At the last moment, the sword attacked his vitals. He could not move at all. He could only close his eyes in loss and wait for death, but he heard a templated voice coming from the void.

So he agreed to the voice's request and came to this world. Although he had traveled far and wide and seen a lot, he had never seen such a strange place.

The land was barren, the sun was scorching hot, and even the people and animals we met along the way seemed to have mutated.

They pounced on him like hungry beasts as soon as they saw him.

God actually gave him a chance to survive, and he would never waste it. The pressure of being on the verge of death unleashed all his potential, and his body functions burned rapidly. He fled from the attacking monster at a speed faster than before.

He and the monster circled around in the deserted land for nearly an hour before finally seeing a building that looked like it was inhabited. This was his only way to survive, and so the previous scene happened.

From Ye Qing’s perspective——

The man in front of him had blood on his face, but it couldn't hide his outstanding temperament at all.

His skin was cold and white, his face was as sharp as a knife, his eyes were dark and deep, and the most surprising thing was his beautiful long hair.

There was no time to think, the zombies and strange beasts behind him attacked him instantly. Ye Qing stretched out his hand and a stream of air condensed into a sharp sword and stabbed out fiercely.

Phew!

With the sound of a knife tip hitting the ground, the monsters fell to the ground instantly. Zeng Yi saw that rescue had arrived and finally closed his eyes and fell down with relief.

Ye Qing asked the system to set up separate access permissions for him, and then asked Damao to carry him into the shelter.

Damao has great strength. Even though he is not tall, he can still carry this strange man who is 180 cm tall with ease.

As they entered the automatic glass door, Ye Qing seemed to remember something. He turned around and pointed at the fallen zombies and strange beasts, and said to the little beggar and Ermao who were following closely behind him, "The crystal cores cannot be wasted. Go and take them out too."

"Got it! I promise to complete the mission!"

The two had this plan a long time ago, but they had been itching to go because the boss hadn't said anything. When they heard that there were free crystal cores, they ran away without hesitation.

Ye Qing ignored them and went to the small clinic with Damao.

Damao has a strong learning ability and has gotten a general idea of ​​the small clinic in the past few days. He skillfully clicks the buttons on the examination table, and the drug delivery table sends out a large amount of medicines according to his operation, including those for bandaging and disinfection, as well as those for stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis.

Damao fed the unconscious man a few pills, then skillfully cleaned and disinfected his wound, and finally bandaged it with gauze and medicine.

The man's wounds were deep, revealing the bone in many places. Even unconscious, he clenched his teeth in pain, yet he didn't utter a single sound. He was still a man.

"Boss, it's done."

Ye Qing looked at the man wrapped like a mummy and nodded approvingly to Damao: "Let's put him in the guest room to rest."

The man was seriously injured and didn't know anyone.

So Ye Qing arranged a single room for him, but when she looked at the clean white bed and the man's blood-stained clothes, she couldn't help but frown.

It’s not that I dislike him, but I feel a pity that when can the shelter have a clothing store?

There was really a shortage of clothes. Not only Damao and the others, but even she hadn't changed her clothes for several days.

"Take off his clothes and put them back on!"

Ye Qing simply turned her head away, thinking that out of sight, out of mind. She would definitely get back double the losses when he woke up. She would not do business at a loss.

Then Damao took off his clothes, wiped him clean with a towel, and gave him some hot water.

Seeing that the man was still unconscious and there was nothing he could do to help, Ye Qing simply retreated.

"System? System, why can't I find this man's information?"

The shelter is bound to her. Whenever someone comes in, the system will automatically register the person's information, from date of birth to life experiences, and condense all major life experiences into an incisive text, just like Xiao Hu who came yesterday.

But this man has been here for so long, but the system still has no information about him.

Her intuition told her that this man was not simple.

The system was like a silent program, with no response.

"If the commander is here, please answer!" This time, Ye Qing's temper was a little explosive, and he was also a bit intimidating.

Perhaps sensing Ye Qing's anger, the system finally uttered a rare sentence: "You're right to keep him."

It was the same as not saying anything, and Ye Qing's face was full of black lines again.

But since they told him to keep him, then I must be right to trust the system.

Ye Qing planned to wait for the man to wake up and then trick him into staying here, either as a resident or an employee, but it would be best if he could recruit a free employee.

After she went to Shanhai City to promote the cause, the first batch of quick defectors like Xiao Hu, Li Yuanyuan and others arrived yesterday under the protection of the mercenary team.

The day of slow progress is almost here. In order to welcome her new residents, Ye Qing opened the system panel and prepared to add some facilities to the shelter.

It was upgraded to level 2 yesterday, and half of the rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors are still empty, with 6 sets on each floor, totaling 12 sets. However, if many people come today, it will still not be enough, so Ye Qing plans to add a 4th floor.

Yesterday's upgrade and room purchase consumed most of the crystal cores, but the containers and restaurants continued to bring in income. The current asset balance is: 3,000 crystal cores.

Ye Qing used it to exchange for 4 four-person dormitory rooms, 3 double rooms, 2 single rooms, and 3 ordinary family suites, which just filled up the 4th floor.

After arranging the room in the system interface, she looked it over and felt that something was missing.

Her eyes fell on the wooden staircase. She hadn't noticed it before because the floor was too low. Now that the floor has been increased to the 4th floor, the flow of people has begun to increase, and the corresponding facilities need to be improved.

Ye Qing opened the system mall, found the building facilities section, bought two elevators, and placed them in the middle of the building, making it much more convenient to go up and down the stairs.

But two elevators are quite expensive, and if this happens, the crystal cores just earned will soon be used up.

Others live from paycheck to paycheck, but she lives from day to day. She spends all the money she earns and never saves anything.

Ye Qing watched Yu Yue angrily turn off the system panel, then waited at the door while eating a bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips.

A few kilometers ahead of the Taoyuan Shelter, a group of low-level psychics and their families were rushing towards their destination.

Their formation was well-organized. The low-level psychics formed a circle to protect the ordinary people inside. Because their psychics were not high and they did not have extra money to hire mercenaries, these people took a long detour and spent an extra day to get here.

After walking day and night for so long, the team was very tired, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

"Son, I really can't walk anymore. How about we take a break?"

An old man wanted to wipe the sweat from his forehead, but found that his whole body was wrapped in cloth strips and he could only wrap his head around it to relieve the itch.

Her son Qian Fei is a low-level psychic. He is following her closely at this moment. Seeing that his mother is exhausted, he feels a little anxious and guilty.

For a shelter whose details were still unknown, I walked outside for two days with my frail mother, and for a moment I didn't know whether it was right or wrong.

What if... it was fake? He couldn't imagine it.

Qian Fei discarded his messy thoughts: "Mom, it's dangerous here. We have to keep up with the team. Let me carry you."

The old man was reluctant to let her go when he heard this: "Oh, no need, I can still hold on. You've also suffered quite a few injuries along the way."

Seeing that the old lady was still being pretentious, her companions curled their lips and impatiently advised: "Old lady, please let him carry her. We have been walking for so long and haven't reached our destination yet. We don't know what will happen to us."

As soon as the man finished speaking, there was a commotion at the other end of the team.

"Oh no, my sister fainted. Is there anyone who can save her? I will work like a slave to repay him." A young lady pleaded while sitting on the ground.

She was holding a fainted girl in her arms. The girl's face was black and blue, she was foaming at the mouth, and her body was twitching uncontrollably. She looked like she was suffering from poisoning and epilepsy.

The crowd around them looked at each other in silence. A young boy muttered quietly, "This disease can only be cured by a person with healing abilities, but healing abilities are rare. How could they appear here?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the air became even more silent. Everyone was very excited when they first went out, but no one expected it to develop to this point.

Maybe the person is dead before he even arrives.
