Before going to the Surveying and Mapping Institute, Lin Qingqing stopped by the trading center.
Before she could sell the supplies she had collected, she found a large backpack and stuffed it full of a bunch of miscellaneous things.
Lin Qingqing had just grunted as she got out of the car with her bag on her back when she saw Qiu Kai coming towards her.
"Have you made a fortune?" Qiu Kai took her backpack and almost knelt down along with the backpack.
"What is so heavy?" Qiu Kai finally resisted the urge to throw the backpack on the ground. His face flushed, and he held the backpack in his arms with both hands.
"Here are some metals. Take me to exchange them for points. I'll treat you to a big meal later." Lin Qingqing was very happy to see Qiu Kai.
The trading center is not far from the base gate. Qiu Kai usually makes a lot of money at the inspection office, so he must be familiar with this place where stolen goods are sold.
Qiu Kai was indeed very reliable in this regard, and he easily exchanged the supplies that she budgeted for less than 4,000 points for more than 5,000 points.
"That's great, brother! Come on, I'll take you to a big meal!" Lin Qingqing patted Qiu Kai's shoulder and waved her little hand generously.
"Don't be so polite, we are all family!" Qiu Kai said hypocritically politely.
But secretly, he rubbed his hands. Over 5,000 points! Lin Qingqing must be rich! I wonder what kind of feast she will treat him to.
"That's right! We are so familiar with each other, so let's just eat something! Boss, give me two bowls of shredded pork noodles." Lin Qingqing said as she walked into a noodle shop and shouted to the boss.
The boss quickly agreed. He knew Qiu Kai and didn't rush to pay the bill. He just went to make noodles.
Qiu Kairu stood at the doorway, stunned. "Five thousand points! You're just treating me to a bowl of noodles!"
"Ah! You said you don't have to be polite!" Lin Qingqing looked at him in surprise, as if she didn't know he was pretending to be polite.
"You can't just give me a bowl of noodles!" Qiu Kai was so depressed.
"I added shredded pork! How about asking the boss to add a spoonful of pickles?" Lin Qingqing was kind-hearted and did her best to be a host.
Qiu Kai huffed, "No need!"
"No pickles or no shredded pork?"
"No need for that!" Qiu Kai said casually, feeling so angry.
Lin Qingqing immediately raised her voice: "Boss, one portion with shredded pork and pickles, and the other portion without adding anything."
"Okay." The boss agreed readily.
Qiu Kai died.
The official food and beverage outlets in the trading center are all open, but business is much slower than before, and many luxury foods are no longer on sale.
For example, Qiao Ruoran had ordered takeout of strawberry ice cream cakes, etc. The cakes and ice cream were fine, but fruits that were not easy to preserve, such as strawberries, had long disappeared.
Lin Qingqing had money in her pocket, so she didn't treat herself badly. After finishing a bowl of shredded pork noodles, she only felt half full when she ordered another bowl. Seeing this, Qiu Kai immediately called out, "Boss, I want another bowl too, with shredded pork and pickles!"
"What a loser!" Lin Qingqing spat at him.
It's not surprising that she can eat a lot. People with special abilities generally have large appetites, which makes their survival not much easier than that of ordinary survivors.
Of course, this is just the early stage. Once the psychics grow up, they will still leave ordinary people far behind.
Social stratification based on power will become increasingly apparent.
Even in peacetime, laws can be unfair at times, but a society without legal constraints will become even more terrifying.
Life and death depend on the joy or anger of others.
While Lin Qingqing was waiting for the second bowl of noodles, she saw two ragged survivors being beaten by several people.
"Anyone who steals should be beaten to death!"
"Call the patrol and drive them away!"
"Stop hitting us, we haven't eaten for three days! Please..." The woman begged desperately, but was met with more punches and kicks.
"I'm sorry... Stop hitting us, we'll leave now!" The thin boy wanted to protect the woman, but was thrown away by the people who were beating her. The thin boy was easily thrown out!
Lin Qingqing didn't want to care or watch, but the boy fell right under her nose.
"Spicy noodles?"
Lin Qingqing suddenly saw the deformed face and spoke tentatively.
"Big sister! Help... Save Zhu Zhu." The young man looked up suddenly when he heard the words, and saw that it was Lin Qingqing. His eyes suddenly lit up and he begged Lin Qingqing.
The one who started the fight was a merchant from the trading center. Lin Qingqing looked at Qiu Kai, wanting him to say something, but Qiu Kai sat there with his arms and legs spread wide open, and he remained indifferent.
Not being beaten to death on the spot for stealing food was already a light punishment!
"Boss, add eggs and ham to the noodles!" Lin Qingqing sighed.
Qiu Kai rolled his eyes: That's it? You want to order him around?
Lin Qingqing smiled: "I'm going to look for Li Shenghua later. Do you have anything to tell your cousin?"
Qiu Kai glared at Lin Qingqing: Our friendship is over!
Lin Qingqing smiled sweetly.
Qiu Kai is the local boss here, and the problem can be solved with just one sentence.
After all, we know each other and the spicy snack boy is not a bad person.
Qiu Kai stood up reluctantly, but before he could say anything, the clever merchants scattered, leaving only the woman with a bruised face and a nose on the ground.
"Thank you, sister! Thank you, uncle!" The spicy boy thanked Lin Qingqing and bowed to Qiu Kai. Then he hurriedly helped the woman on the ground.
Sister? Uncle?
Qiu Kai stared in shock, then turned around numbly, his face black!
It was he who handled Lin Qingqing's registration to enter the city, and she was clearly one year older than him!
With a chuckle, Lin Qingqing couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
Seeing Qiu Kai's face turn black, she quickly covered her mouth and said to the store owner: "Give them two steamed buns."
The boss agreed and handed the steamed bun to the boy. The boy thanked him repeatedly. Lin Qingqing smiled faintly and sat in her seat without moving.
She didn't know why they drove her car to the base, and within a few days, they were so hungry that they had to steal food.
Although her car looks shabby, its performance is good. Moreover, there are some daily necessities in the car that can be exchanged for points.
She couldn't care less about other people. If she encountered something, it would be an exception for her to reach out and help them.
Lin Qingqing probably didn't even realize that her behavior was gradually becoming different from that of most ordinary people.
She became more and more indifferent, not caring about what others thought of her. She only followed her own wishes in everything she did.
After eating and drinking, Lin Qingqing paid the bill, said goodbye to Qiu Kai, and drove to the Surveying and Mapping Institute where Li Shenghua was.
In her previous life, she was actually most familiar with this street.
Because the city’s former Epidemic Prevention Bureau was next to the Surveying and Mapping Institute, the laboratory was set up here.
It is an inconspicuous three-story house with a small courtyard, and the total area is probably less than 500 square meters.
At this time, there was a noise at the door of the Epidemic Prevention Bureau, and three or five people gathered together.
When Lin Qingqing was driving by, she glanced over there inadvertently, and out of the corner of her eye she saw a person lying on the ground, bleeding profusely.
She looked away indifferently. People kept dying every day!
It’s better to die than to be bitten to death by zombies!
Suddenly, she thought of something, her eyes widened, and she slammed on the brakes.
