Chapter 370 Joining the Resistance (1) - Entering the Base

Around 1 p.m., Ning Shu led Xiao Lan into Tianhuan Supermarket.

Ning Shu secretly inquired about the location of the supermarket and discovered that the resistance was somewhat reliable; the supermarket was not far from their hotel.

She was still struggling with what excuse to use to go to the designated supermarket, but she didn't expect it to be nearby, and the only large supermarket in the area.

Tianhuan Supermarket is located in Tianhuan Plaza, a super-large shopping mall, and is a supermarket owned and operated by the mall itself.

After Ning Shu arrived, she still had plenty of time, so she leisurely walked from one district to another.

She looked left and right the whole way, but didn't take anything. Xiaolan was getting impatient: "Didn't you say you were going to buy something?"

Ning Shu explained, "I haven't found anything I want to buy yet, and there's still plenty of time, so you don't need to rush."

Xiao Lan thought to herself: How can I not be anxious? Mr. Si might come back early!

Finally, Ning Shu seemingly casually wandered into the household goods section, carefully observing the layout of this area.

With many shelves and not many people around, how could the other party be sure they could take her away successfully?

Ning Shu looked around for any suspicious people, as these people might be waiting for her to come knocking on her door.

But no matter how she looked, she couldn't find anyone who might be a rebel.

Could it be that the time hasn't come yet, which is why they haven't shown up?

Ning Shu was very anxious. If she couldn't leave today, she probably wouldn't have another chance to leave.

Suddenly, Ning Shu noticed that there were more and more people in the household goods section, and she seemed to guess what they were up to.

Sure enough, she and Xiaolan were gradually separated by the crowd. Xiaolan didn't notice anything was wrong at first and tried to push through the crowd to Ning Shu's side.

At this moment, an older woman started arguing with a young man next to her, and they even got into a physical fight. People around them started to try to break up the fight.

This little incident stopped Xiaolan outside. She was a little flustered and wanted to go back to the other side of the shelf and go around to Ning Shu's side.

But the crowd of onlookers pushed their way in from behind, surrounding her completely.

Xiao Lan finally managed to push people aside, walked to the other side of the shelf, and went around to where Ning Shu had been, only to find that he was gone.

She searched the area several times before finally confirming that the person was truly missing.

At this time, Ning Shu had already been taken away by the rebels and slipped away through a back door of the unloading area.

She was given the uniform prepared for her by the rebels, disguised as a worker who had just finished unloading goods, and was taken away after getting into a truck.

The driver greeted her as he drove: "Hello, my name is Yang An, I've come to pick you up."

Ning Shu also introduced herself: "Hello, my name is Ning Shu, thank you for your help."

Yang An: "You're welcome."

Upon receiving news of Ning Shu's escape, Si Chen only said "Come back" to Xiao Lan before hanging up the phone.

He stood in his office on the third floor and looked out. The sky was cloudless, but his heart was filled with gloom.

Ning Shuzhen didn't disappoint him; she really did escape. Now he wanted to see what A Zhong would do.

After Ning Shu left with Yang An, they arrived at a so-called underground base. The environment of the base was very poor, but many people lived there.

When they saw Ning Shu appear, they all cast curious glances at her, making Ning Shu feel somewhat uncomfortable.

She could clearly sense that many of these people were malnourished.

Li Dong said that the Loy aliens didn't seem to mistreat humans, so why are they still so thin?

Noticing Ning Shu's unease, Yang An led her into a closed passage and explained:

"Don't be afraid, they mean no harm. They're just a little curious about the new members."

Why are they so thin?

Yang An smiled wryly: "Some people can't find a job and can't support themselves, so they naturally become thinner."

Ning Shu asked in confusion, "How could this be? Didn't you say everyone had a job?"

Even if serving aliens is a job, it shouldn't cause such severe hunger, right?

Yang An: "The arrival of the Soya aliens caused many Loy aliens to leave. In addition, the Soya aliens do not want humans to serve them, so many people are left without jobs."

Ning Shu: "Does work only count if humans serve them? Can't we set up our own businesses to hire humans?"

“This is our goal,” Yang An sighed. “Actually, the departure of many Loy aliens is also beneficial to us, at least it reduces the number of our opponents.”

Ning Shu: "But the opponent has changed to the Soya aliens. Aren't they even more troublesome?"

Yang An: "The Soya aliens are not yet our true enemies. We need to drive the Loy aliens out before they officially take over Blue Star."

Ning Shu: "What should we do with these people?"

We can't keep supporting them forever, can we?

Yang An walked ahead, and the motion-sensor lights in the passageway lit up one by one: "They would do some trivial things for us in exchange for living supplies."

Ning Shu: "Where will the funding come from?"

Yang An: "Most of the donations came from members of the resistance, and a small portion came from our own company's profits. 399 Convenience Store is one of our companies."

Ning Shu: "Why is it reversed?"

Yang An: "If a company is registered, it is easy to detect if a large amount of its profits flow to unknown organizations. Therefore, companies can only be used as a source of funding for a small portion of the company's revenue."

Personal expenses are generally not subject to scrutiny, so our members are very proactive in donating their earnings to support our activities.

Yang An suddenly stopped in front of a door, knocked, and opened it: "Team Leader Xiang, the person has been brought."

Ning Shu went inside and found a short-haired girl sitting there, around 30 years old, looking very capable.

Yang An introduced them to each other, and Ning Shu learned that the other person's name was Xiang Yun, and that he was the leader of the Haicheng resistance army.

Yang An seemed to have other matters to attend to, and left after handing the person over to Xiang Yun.

Xiang Yun looked Ning Shu up and down: "I heard you were introduced by Mr. Li. Were you a player before?"

Ning Shu was surprised that Li Dong had told others about this. She nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Li met with me in Youcheng, and then I came here."

Xiang Yun: "There's not much going on lately, so you can stay at the base and train with the others to improve your skills. If you perform poorly, I'll suggest you switch to logistics."

After listening, Ning Shu asked, "So what is my current position?"

Xiang Yun thought Ning Shu was quite clever: "You are currently the vanguard of the operation, but there is no need for you to assassinate or anything like that. After all, with your skinny arms and legs, you probably can't beat them."

Well, that's true.

Ning Shuye hardly ever fights in the game, so his fighting skills must be poor.

She suddenly realized that even if she joined the resistance, the role she could play would be limited.

Her only redeeming quality is her connection to Si Zhong as a player.

Xiang Yun walked to her side: "Come on, I'll take you to your dormitory first, and then someone will train you. The training period is 3 months. If there are no results, we'll switch to logistics."

Three months is a bit short, but it's a rule set by others, so there must be a reason for it.

Ning Shu didn't ask any further questions and followed Xiang Yun out.
