Chapter 18 Liu Cheng
Yu Min shook his head and gave an apologetic smile. He just couldn't help himself just now. Now that he has calmed down, he dare not disrespect the psychic.
The young man didn't want to talk, and Zhang Juan didn't ask any more questions. She yawned and urged Lin Luyan to speak quickly.
Lin Luyan understood and told everyone her real plan.
"Those who agree to join, raise your hands. Those who disagree can continue to consume in the restaurant, but the maximum stay time is still one hour, the same as ordinary customers."
Yu Min was the most anxious about this matter, shaking his hands in the air a few times: "What about those who join? How long can they stay at most?"
Lin Luyan pointed at Qin Simu, and the man took over the conversation and answered for her.
"I'll be judging your contribution and loyalty. I'll be the boss lady's assistant in this regard. Of course, I'll also accept supervision from all of you. If there's anything wrong, you can talk to the boss lady directly."
The meeting was very brief and everything was covered in five minutes.
After it was over, everyone still stayed where they were. Even Old Lady Zhang, who had been complaining about being sleepy, became much more energetic and waited eagerly for Qin Simu to take them to find a place to stay.
Next to Lin's Noodle House is an old fishing tackle shop. The manager of the shop is forgetful and often does not bring his shop key to work. After this happened so many times, he simply put a spare key in the gap under the carpet outside.
As shop neighbors for more than ten years, Lin Luyan naturally knew about this habit of her neighbors, but she never mentioned it in front of others and chose to keep it secret.
It just so happened that the fishing tackle shop was big enough and close enough to serve as a temporary residence for Yu Min and others.
…………
The door opened, and sunlight shone through the white floor, which had been covered with dust for months.
The room was caked with accumulated dust, and the air was filled with an indescribable stale smell, accompanied by a faint fishy odor that had persisted for a long time and turned into a fetid smell.
It made people cough.
Zhang Juan is very old, with a slightly hunched back and her hands hanging behind her back. If you look closely, you will find that there is a very faint white halo dancing on her body.
Several light circles received mental instructions and moved rapidly in all directions to detect any movement in the distance.
Several other men, women, young and old, fully armed, wearing brand new masks and gloves given by Lin Luyan, worked hard to clean every corner.
After nearly an hour of work, the fishing tackle shop looked brand new.
There are two floors. Zhang Juan, Wang Daquan and Yu Min live on the first floor, and Chen Youjing, Wang Li and Xu Xiaojing live on the second floor.
Yu Min was quite satisfied with this assignment. Being able to live on the same floor with two people with special abilities gave him a full sense of security.
He is looking forward to the future of his life.
…………
Empty streets.
Two zombies fell to the ground, their heads exploded and separated from their bodies, and the crystal cores inside their skulls had been dug out.
Liu Cheng sat slumped on the stone, his feet too numb to move, sweat dripping down his collar, and he was gasping for breath.
Half a meter away from him, a dirty old man sat upright with his eyes closed and cursing.
"I told you long ago to leave me alone. I'm just an old man, so I'll just die. I can't bring anything with me when I'm born. Now, look what you've been kicked out of the Dawn Base too. Are you satisfied? Humph! You deserve it!"
Liu Cheng listened to the old man's complaints without saying anything.
He had been hearing such insults since the beginning of the apocalypse until now, and he could recite them word for word.
After resting for a while, Liu Cheng rubbed his calves a few times, stood up and stretched his body. Ignoring the old man's verbal struggle and objection, he snatched the crutch from his hand, put it on his back and walked away with big strides.
After cursing a few times, the father and son remained silent all the way and no one spoke again.
Since fresh blood has been flowing into the commercial street, people without special abilities have been cleaning the streets enthusiastically and actively every day, and then forming teams to look for new people with great enthusiasm.
Everything is for KPI!
Chen Youjing was holding a stack of colorful homemade leaflets, stuffing one here and one there, and wandering around the street cautiously with 100% vigilance.
With him as the center, about seven or eight meters away, Yu Min and Wang Li were doing the same thing.
This is the most important thing they need to do after joining Lin Luyan's team, to increase the restaurant's customer flow and ensure its continuous capital chain.
But I walked dozens of miles these days and didn't see a single person.
That’s right, in the past month, the Dawn Base developed rapidly and most people went there.
People pull people, people look for people.
Several cities near the Dawn Base were almost deserted, and those who stayed at home had basically lost all signs of life.
"Hey hey hey, is that a conjoined zombie or a human?" Chen Youjing's mind paused. After saying this, he quickly realized that there were no conjoined zombies. It was clearly a person carrying another person, and the one being carried was an extremely dirty old man whose face could not be seen clearly.
As the distance got closer, the fishy smell became more and more obvious.
New customers represent performance, and performance represents restaurant contribution value. When you have enough restaurant contribution value, you can unlock higher membership privileges.
In order to become the restaurant VIP as soon as possible, Chen Youjing and his colleagues go out early every morning to sweep the streets, distribute flyers, and kill zombies. They go to the restaurant to eat at mealtime, and then continue to distribute flyers and kill zombies.
It was unfortunate for them, as they hadn't encountered a single living person in all the days they'd been wandering around. Their initial desire to compete and surpass the other team had gradually faded.
After confirming that there were two people and not zombies twenty meters away from him, Yu Min reacted quickly and ran over, enthusiastically introducing Lin Luyan's restaurant.
Chen Youjing, who was a little slow to react, patted his head with a silly smile. It seemed that his eyesight had worsened and he had such a confusing visual illusion.
However, the middle-aged man and the person on his back did not look compatible at all, so it was no wonder that Chen Youjing had such doubts.
"Hello, have you ever killed a zombie? There is a restaurant where you can eat with crystal cores or gold." Yu Min did not beat around the bush and directly stated the rules set by the restaurant.
Three blazing eyes were fixed on the old man on Liu Cheng's back, whose face was obscured by his hair and beard. They looked at him as if they were looking at a golden cake with unlimited wealth.
The end of the world is extremely unfriendly to vulnerable groups. Most ordinary elderly people will be abandoned by their families, and either fall into the mouths of zombies or starve to death. In any case, it is difficult to survive.
Zhang Juan and Wang Daquan each awakened different superpowers, so they were lucky enough to survive until now.
Yu Min originally thought that situations like theirs were isolated cases, but she didn't expect to encounter an elderly person in his eighties or nineties who couldn't even walk and needed someone to carry him.
It was such a funny thing that he felt dizzy about the world. Why did it favor the elderly so much?
Based on previous experiences and lessons, Yu Min had a preconceived notion that this old man with a bad smell and impaired legs and feet was a person with superpowers.
Thank you for the monthly tickets for baby Lu~
