Chapter 357 Lu Nange: This is difficult!
Chi Qi, who was assigned to distribute the rewards, said: "Young Master and Miss Lu said that this is what you deserve."
This is recognition and a reward for your perseverance and determination yesterday. I hope... the next time we go out together, you will be even stronger, fighting side-by-side.
These words instantly soothed the team members' unease, transforming it into a heavy sense of responsibility and the excitement of being recognized.
Zhang Ao and the others gripped the crystal cores and nodded heavily.
"Thank you, Captain Chi! Thank you, Miss Lu! We...we will definitely work hard!"
"Brother Chi Qi, can we...can we thank Captain Chi and Miss Lu in person?"
Chi Qi: "Young Master and the others are very busy right now, they have more important things to do. Our best way to express our gratitude is not through a few polite words."
Instead, they should strive to improve their own strength, to truly protect our base, and to be genuinely helpful on the next mission, rather than becoming objects of protection! This is far more valuable than any verbal thanks!
"Brother Chi is right! Let's work hard to become stronger! One day, we'll be able to fight alongside Captain Chi and the others!"
"Yes! Get stronger!"
Chi Qi: [As expected of me! Excellent... I actually memorized everything Chi Si said word for word!]
On the other side, after distributing the rewards, Lu Nange and her group went to the logistics department.
The logistics department is now fully under Gu Qi's control. When Gu Qi is not around, his father or aunt will fill in.
With a slight thought, Lu Nange took out a portion of the supplies she had brought back from the logistics park.
These supplies quickly filled the shelves and empty spaces of the logistics department's warehouse. Staff immediately stepped forward to count, classify, and register them, officially incorporating them into the base's public reserves.
These supplies will primarily be used to supply the trading market, making it convenient for survivors within the base to purchase or exchange goods.
After stuffing most of the supplies in, the remaining items were still stored in Lu Nange's spatial storage.
Gu Qi greeted his aunt, who was checking the inventory list, "Aunt, the inventory processing here is almost done. We'll be going now; we have other things to do..."
"Wait, Xiao Qi!" Aunt Gu called out to them, "Didn't Yan Zhou say that this batch of goods was to be distributed to the trading market this afternoon?"
You need to give me a definite answer about the pricing. Is it the price we agreed on internally before, or something else? Auntie can't make that decision.
Chi Yanzhou pondered for a moment: "Aunt, lower the internal price by 30% compared to before."
"Reduce by 30%... Okay, I understand!" Aunt Gu's eyes flashed with understanding and approval as she nodded decisively. "Then I'll arrange for someone to make price tags right away, and we'll open for business on time this afternoon!"
After finishing all the chores, I looked up and realized it was almost 11 a.m....
The sunlight became somewhat dazzling...
Without further delay, the group drove to the surveillance equipment building in the military zone to find Lao Li.
Old Li: "Wow, impressive! Dual-elemental abilities, and they even brought back so many supplies..."
He Zhuo: "My dear Uncle Li, stop with the pleasantries, time is short and the task is heavy, quickly take us to find an empty office."
Old Li: "Come, come, I've already prepared everything for you."
It's the same office where we used to look for facial recognition data.
Luo Xingyou sat in front of her computer and designed a notice for the "Flame Heart Base Opens to the Public for Trading".
The notification design was extremely simple, even plain – the screen was full of text, without any images.
But the content is enough to cause a sensation in any survivor base...
It announced with a striking title, "Flameheart Base Officially Opens for Commodity Trading," and listed the main types of commodities available for trading.
From food, general merchandise, seasonings, medicine, and daily necessities to clothing, shoes, and bags...
The rules for transactions were clearly defined, primarily accepting barter, crystal cores, metals, intelligence, or work-for-pay exchanges...
At the very bottom of the notice, a message was added in red font, clearly listing the names of the three siblings, Lu Nange, Lu Xici, and Lu Beiye, as well as Wen Qing, and briefly explaining that they were looking for someone...
Lu Nange took out several printers and a large amount of A4 color paper directly from her space.
Several printers started up simultaneously, humming as they printed out the notices one by one.
Lu Nange and her group stood to one side, gathering and neatly stacking the printed flyers.
Soon, stacks of printed flyers piled up next to them.
Gu Wan: "Nan Nan, shall we go hand out flyers this afternoon?"
"Why don't you set up the trading market area in front of the base..." Before Lu Nange could finish speaking, she saw everyone stop stacking papers, look up, and stare intently at her.
Shi Xu: "Nan Nan, do you want to go by yourself?... "
He Zhuo: "What? Mei Bao, you're abandoning us..."
Lu Nange swallowed back the words, "I'll just take Gangzi, Zhizhi, and Xiaoye with me."
"Nonsense! Is that how you use the word 'abandon'? Brothers and sisters, I'm definitely going with you."
I was just about to say... it's already noon... why don't we just fence off and set up that area in front of the base this afternoon, and then go out to hand out flyers tomorrow morning? ..."
"real?"
Lu Nange: "Of course!!! The bases are quite far apart, and we might encounter many zombies that could delay our journey. Going together will make things much faster..."
So, how about we decorate the main entrance this afternoon? Let's design something?
Everyone nodded: "We'll do as you say!"
Lu Nange: [That's not what your looks meant just now!]
After printing all the flyers, Lu Nange put the items into her spatial storage. As the group returned to the villa to prepare for lunch, Aunt Gu and her team were already busy at the trading market on the other side.
The original open-air official booths have all been moved to the newly built temporary shop area.
Staff members are busy shelving and categorizing a wide variety of supplies—from piles of rice, flour, and cooking oil to neatly hung new clothes, to a dazzling array of daily necessities and tools, and even a section dedicated to various durable snacks, making it a feast for the eyes.
Outside the shop, survivors who had heard the news and waited all morning had already crowded in.
People eagerly tiptoed and craned their necks to peer inside.
"Hey comrade, when can we go in?"
Guard: "Everyone, please be patient! Once the comrades inside have arranged the goods and put up the price tags, we'll open for purchasing immediately! Everyone has a chance!"
Just then, people saw a staff member hang a prominent price tag on the shelf in the grain and oil section.
An even greater commotion immediately erupted from the crowd.
"My God! This price...is actually so affordable?"
"Look over there! There are baby products too, formula, diapers... The selection is amazing!"
"It was all caused by those little devils yesterday!"
"What little ancestor? Aren't they those little devils?"
"Your nemesis provided you with so many supplies? They're all dual-elemental ability users, show them some respect!"
"Exactly! They don't owe us anything. They worked so hard to bring us supplies, and you're already being generous by not treating them like royalty. You're calling them a jinx!"
"Of course... If all else fails, calling someone by their name is fine too, whatever you call them a jinx or something!"
