Chapter 40 I Believe in Her

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd exploded again.

At this time, the news that "there is a strange beautiful girl selling supplies in the base" has spread throughout the base.

More and more people came out to watch the fun.

People kept coming out of the base and rushing to Shannai's side.

Most of the special ability teams went out on missions during the day, and the remaining ones were fighting bloody battles at the door.

We are all ordinary survivors, and we can't resist the temptation of these supplies.

Coupled with Shannai's remarks on safety issues, some people at the scene began to waver.

"There's also a bus service! That's amazing! Gas is so expensive..."

"Yeah, the train ticket is only 2 points. Did you see that? A level 1 crystal core can be exchanged for 100 points!"

"I've asked, a bottle of water is 6 points, but beef noodles is only 14! I don't care, I'm going to go! Boss, please sign me up for membership first!"

A round-faced aunt ran up to Shannai holding some gold and silver jewelry, with a pious look on her face.

She doesn't have any extra crystal cores.

On weekdays, her son relies on going out to earn crystal cores, which are usually used to pay rent and management fees.

Living in the end times, these gold jewelries are of little use, but she was reluctant to throw them away, so she wanted to keep them as a memento, and has kept them until now.

Shannai also enthusiastically helped her get a membership.

"Hahaha, 155 points! Oh, little girl, oh no, thank you, boss!"

The round-faced aunt was very happy and excited holding the cat-head membership card.

Then she started to choose. She had her eye on the Eight Treasure Duck for a long time! She had to get it and save the duck legs for her son!

As soon as the aunt took action, the others stopped hiding and started to take action.

Unfortunately, there aren't many supplies left for Shannai to take out.

There are quite a lot of people gathered here, hundreds of them in total.

This amount of supplies is definitely not enough.

In less than half an hour, the supplies were sold out.

"Ahem, everyone, please stop for a moment. I don't have many supplies with me today, and they've all been sold out."

Shannai wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued, "But you can continue to apply for membership and redeem points. As long as you have enough points, the supermarket bus will show up at the base gate on time at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, and you can go to the supermarket to shop!"

"What? The supplies are gone?!"

"There's not even one left? I didn't get anything!"

"I finally squeezed to the front, and it's gone before I even saw a hair?! Are you kidding me?"

"Oh! You won't lie to us..."

"Woo woo woo, mom, I want to drink peach soda..."

Shannai said that his mouth was dry and he was very thirsty.

Just as I took out the last bottle of peach soda, I saw the little boy next to me crying sadly.

Ah...this...

She hesitated for a few seconds, but decided to open it and drink it herself.

If she gave the bottle of peach soda to the little boy, others would definitely say she was unfair and biased.

Forget it.

"Little boy, when the bus comes tomorrow, you can go to my supermarket to buy some soda, okay?" Shannai put away the soda and comforted him.

"Customers, please believe me, I have no reason to cheat you. Don't worry, there is no problem with recharging. As long as the points reach a certain amount, there will be a special bus to pick you up~"

Shannai really explained it with great sincerity.

Everyone's disappointed look was not concealed at all.

They all hung their heads and looked miserable.

The people who bought the supplies were very proud and even spoke up for Shannai, asking people around her to believe her.

Some people who exchange special items have no concerns.

But those who had the crystal core in their hands seemed extremely hesitant.

Crystal cores are difficult to obtain.

"You've got what you want, so of course you're not afraid anymore. Stop making sarcastic remarks. If you get cheated, will you pay for the crystal core?"

“That’s right, I can’t believe it...

Shannai listened to their heated discussion, pouting as she checked her points in the backstage, "Only over 3,000... It's far from enough."

"Yes, they can't see the supplies and they still don't trust us, but we can't bring all the supplies here either, that's against the rules."

Shannai and the system are secretly discussing a solution.

"I believe her."

A deep voice came from behind me.

It is the Chu River.

"The leader is here!"

"Have all the people from the Wolf's Den been dealt with, Chief?"

"Are we safe?"

Chu He pursed his lips and walked to Shannai's side, waving his hands at everyone, "Well, it's solved. We have to thank this boss especially for our great victory this time!"

As soon as the struggle on Chuhe's side ended, he immediately asked about Shannai's whereabouts.

I felt relieved when I learned that she had entered the base.

It would be best if such a capable person could be made a partner.

But Chu He was overthinking it.

On the way back, his subordinates had briefly reported to him what Shannai had done at the base.

It turns out they really sell supplies.

interesting.

It is even more important to build good relationships. There are hundreds of people in the base who need to eat and drink, and there are only a few people with special abilities. The pressure is already very great.

How could Chu He not be happy when he met a supermarket owner?

As for doubting Shannai's identity and background, or her suspicious behavior, it is no longer Chu He's focus.

Judging from the little girl's special ability, she might have other special abilities.

As long as Shannai is not hostile, more friends mean more paths.

Chu He only wanted the survivors of the Hope Base to have more food to eat every day, so that everyone could still have some illusions and aspirations for the future.

The appearance of Shannai gave him an opportunity to realize his ideal.

"...As I've said, this boss is our benefactor. If it weren't for her brave action, our base would have been defeated today. I'm willing to trust her supermarket! Young boss, please help me get a membership card."

Chu He took out a soft leather bag with gratitude and handed it to Shannai.

[Great! The leaders are willing to trust the host. There's hope now.]

Indeed, when Shannai heard Chuhe defending her, her heart warmed, her eyes flickered, and a happy smile appeared at the corners of her lips.

"Okay, thank you for your support." Shannai took out the mini membership redemption machine and scanned the man in front of him.

After entering the information, Shannai poured out the crystal cores in the bag to exchange for points and deposits.

"This leader is an honest and upright boss, right? He is not rich, but the one named Luo Shen has more crystal cores..." Shannai said to the system in his heart.

Shannai was right.

Half of Chu He's savings were used to maintain the Hope Base.

In addition, upgrading superpowers also requires crystal core energy, so the private treasury is only enough for daily expenses.

"Okay, a total of 3,750 points have been redeemed. Please keep the membership card safe." Shanna said softly.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse.

With more than 3,000 points, she is the largest client handled by Shannai so far, and she is still very satisfied.

With Chu He's great help, the team members behind him and the teams that had just returned excitedly took out their wallets.

However, although they looked extremely excited, their behavior was still very well-behaved.

A dozen or so men, about 1.8 meters tall, lined up neatly, standing beside Chu He, waiting for Shannai to process their work.

Most of them were veterans before the apocalypse and have good self-discipline.

"Hello, my name is Chu He. What's your name, boss?"

"Shanna, just call me boss." Shanna smiled playfully.

What's your last name? Honestly, she doesn't have one. Her name was given by the Earth God back then. They said 'Kaempferia galanga' is a Chinese herbal medicine, and a local name would make it easier to grow!

Chu He nodded, a hint of unintentional gloom flashing across his eyes.

He gave up his seat so that others could come and redeem their points.

Beautiful things always make people linger.

This mysterious girl named Shannai reminded Chu He of his sister, Chu Ci.

My sister died trying to save me after the apocalypse broke out.

Died in the mouth of zombies...

Blood was everywhere.

He hadn't awakened his superpowers at that time, and he wished he was the one who died.

My sister was only sixteen years old that year, and she was as bright and energetic as Shannai.

How could she, who is usually timid and weak, push herself away and face the horrific zombies alone at such a dangerous moment?

Chu He felt a pain in his heart.

The loose hair on his forehead slightly covered his eyebrows.

He turned away, walked under the big tree, and stared at Shannai's busy back, wondering what he was thinking.
