Chapter 119 From Passive to Active



"A shelter? Brother, how come I don't know anything about that?"

Green Ivy Sister doesn't know?

Although Qin Bai didn't know where Green Ivy was, he was sure it wasn't in his city.

According to the other party's description, she lived in a church in the countryside, while a church in the city cannot be considered a countryside church.

In other words, the two of them were quite far apart.

"Turn on the radio on your phone and listen for any news about the shelter."

After waiting for a while, the other party replied.

"No, the radio only makes a buzzing sound."

That's strange, there's no reason for Green Ivy to deceive herself in this matter.

In other words, only they can hear this sound; it cannot be heard elsewhere.

A thought suddenly popped into my head: Could this be a trap?

But if it's a trap, what's the other party's intention in doing this?

With so many people living in the city, what will happen to the people on the other side if many people actually go there?

Qin Bai couldn't figure it out, but he did pay more attention to the matter of the shelter.

However, for now, the most important thing is to find a way to resolve Lin Zhao's matter; other things can wait.

Because they injured Lin Zhao last night, Lin Zhao is unlikely to make a move in the short term. Wu Ming and Zeng Qiangguo have also begun their own efforts to win over others.

However, this method is very time-consuming.

Every time I knock on a door, I have to spend ages explaining myself, and the other party might not even agree. It's too inefficient.

Qin Bai dislikes doing inefficient things, so he plans to try a different approach.

Why not just turn passivity into initiative?

So, how can we turn a passive person into an active one?

The easiest way is to give away eggs for free!

If anyone is willing to join them, they can receive an egg every day!

Eggs are a great food; just one can basically meet a person's daily nutritional needs, making it a truly versatile food.

But this thing has one downside: it's not easy to preserve.

However, within Qin Bai's infinite space, the egg will remain exactly the same whether it goes in or comes out; there's no need to worry about it spoiling.

Of course, Qin Bai couldn't possibly take everyone's eggs. Otherwise, there would be too many people in the neighborhood, and if he really took out that many eggs, even a fool would know that something was wrong with him.

Therefore, eggs must be limited and served on a first-come, first-served basis!

However, he would need someone to help him spread the message to everyone in the community.

Relying on the community's public address system is definitely not an option. Not only is the power cord already broken, but even if it were connected, making such a loud noise might attract other ice corpses from other areas.

Ice corpses are not only sensitive to flesh and blood, but also to sound.

So now there's only one way we can do it: win over a few people and have them spread the word, just like we used to deal with cannibalistic gangs.

Qin Bai observed that Lin Zhao had been staying inside the shop, seemingly still recovering from her injuries, and it was unlikely that she would come out for the time being.

Now is the perfect opportunity!

He went straight to the top floor and knocked on a door.

"Again? You've stolen everything from my house, can't you just leave me alone?"

A voice filled with grief and indignation came from inside.

Qin Bai immediately realized that the people inside had misunderstood something.

"Don't get agitated. I'm not one of Lin Zhao's people, or rather, I have a grudge against Lin Zhao. My name is Qin Bai, you might know me."

Sure enough, upon hearing Qin Bai's voice, the man inside immediately stopped wailing.

"Qin Bai? You're the Qin Bai who destroyed the Cannibal Gang with Wu Ming and Lin Zhao?"

It has to be said that the previous actions against the cannibal gang were too big. Everyone in the neighborhood knew what had happened, especially Qin Bai, Wu Ming, and Lin Zhao, whose names were known throughout the neighborhood.

If it weren't for those three, the neighborhood would have been taken over by the cannibal gang sooner or later, and only God knows what would have become of them then.

"It's me."

"Did you need something from me?"

The man knew that Qin Bai would never visit him without a reason.

"That's right, you must have had your supplies stolen by Lin Zhao's underlings too. If we don't stop him now, Lin Zhao will become the second cannibal gang sooner or later."

Qin Bai's words were a bit of an exaggeration, but what Lin Zhao did did indeed infringe upon the interests of many people in the community.

"That bastard Lin Zhao, he took over the store before, and I took all the valuables in my house in exchange for a little bit of food, and all I got back was a tiny bit!"

"Now they've even stolen my meager supplies! I'm so angry I could eat them alive!"

From the gritted teeth in that voice, one could sense the man's hatred for Lin Zhao.

"Officer Wu and I have now joined forces to target Lin Zhao, but we are short-handed, so we hope to get your help."

Upon hearing this, the man stammered, "Well, I... I'm just an ordinary person. You should... you should find someone else to help you."

Qin Bai was not surprised at all. Most people are like this; when faced with trouble, they tend to stay out of it.

"What I need your help with is very simple. I'll give you five eggs, and you can help me advertise to every household in this building. As long as they are willing to join us, I can provide each person with an egg. The limit is one hundred people. These people will temporarily report to you."

"What, five eggs?"

In the past, a man would never have cared about just five eggs, but now, five eggs can last him five days, or even longer.

Qin Bai sensed the man's hesitation and added fuel to the fire: "If you don't agree, I'll go find someone else."

"Wait, I agree, but I need to get the eggs first."

"Impossible. I'll give you one as a deposit at most, and then I'll give you the rest after you've finished the job."

"But remember, don't try to fool me, or I can give you eggs and still make you lose everything!"

After Qin Bai finished negotiating with the other party, he gave him an egg and then went home.

He then shared this method with Wu Ming and Zeng Qiangguo, who immediately felt that it was much better than theirs.

Most importantly, they don't have to work so hard anymore.

They took some eggs from Qin Bai and began their operation.

The person who was bribed with five eggs did a good job and spent almost half a day running around the entire building.

Having finished his task, he happily went home with the remaining four eggs.

Next, all they have to do is wait.

The next day, the three of them found Qin Bai and the others separately and gave them a list.

The list above shows the number of people willing to join their team, which has already exceeded one hundred.
