Chapter 2 The restaurant appears
The exclusive ending song of the news sounded, and the clock pointed to eight o'clock in the evening.
The sand and snow falling from the sky gradually became less, and several golden lights burst down, transforming into small tokens that descended into the world.
Lin Luyan wrapped herself in a thick coat, rode her electric scooter, and headed straight for the area closest to her at a speed of 45 miles per hour.
In the apocalypse that will come later, if you want to live in peace, you must either awaken powerful supernatural powers or seek refuge in a shelter.
The refuges that people later generations referred to were actually the predecessors of these strange tokens.
When electricity was still available, the radio that had been kept in the locker for years was taken out and played all day long, listening to the card-by-card playback of the location, function and origin of the shelter.
Some are touched and bound accidentally, while others are destined to be chosen when the token is about to become transparent and melt away.
In her previous life, Lin Luyan had no special abilities and no shelter, and she did not have any of the necessary conditions to survive.
This time, she had to get one no matter what! Otherwise, it would be a shame to let down the chance of rebirth that God had so kindly given her.
The ground was covered with sand and snow, and the wind was howling.
The people huddled in their beds in fear, timidly watching the scene that had not been seen on the Blue Planet in a hundred years, and did not dare to go out easily.
There was only a petite figure wearing a pink helmet, leaning over the electric scooter, pulling the handlebars hard and driving at high speed.
The golden token is only the size of a palm, and the Arabic numerals displayed in the middle are slightly raised and dark and eye-catching.
20.
Then it dropped to 19.
When the cards touch, a brilliant light will instantly appear, dazzling and brilliant.
At this moment, Lin Luyan clearly felt her heart beating violently.
Plop, plop, plop...
It seemed as if in the next second, it would gush out mixed with bright blood.
She did it! She got the key item to bind the shelter!
At the same time, with this golden token as the base point, similar tokens within a radius of thirty kilometers instantly became transparent and lost their binding function.
"Ding! Congratulations on successfully binding the Doomsday Management Token."
"Generating the business panel..."
"The business panel has been generated and is now automatically confirming the business direction for the player..."
"Congratulations on obtaining the fusion restaurant. Please specify the location of the fusion restaurant within three hours. If the time limit is exceeded, the binding will be cancelled."
In her previous life, Lin Luyan remembered that the shelters broadcast on the radio clearly only included the base and the safe zone.
How come when it comes to her, it becomes a restaurant that she has never heard of, or a relatively novel fusion restaurant?
But it’s okay. With her special physique, she can’t live without restaurants.
In other corners of the blue planet, several golden tokens that had not been touched by humans, at the moment when the value became "0", the nearest ones merged into one and turned into a transparent circular halo.
After spinning rapidly for several rounds, it left behind a brilliant tail of light and shot towards an unknown direction, entering the body of a destined person.
She got the coveted business token, and it was the restaurant she needed most. Lin Luyan was so excited that her body was hot, dizzy, and floating.
In her previous life, she had never seen a shelter and knew very little information about it. She could only follow the procedures and operate according to the system's instructions.
There is a large piece of vacant land at the edge of the commercial street. Usually in the evening, there would be groups of grandpas and aunts dancing square dance there. Now it is just right for a restaurant.
The distance between Lin's noodle shop and the restaurant is very close, only three minutes' walk away, making it convenient for her to run back and forth.
"It has been detected that player Lin Luyan has selected a fixed restaurant location. Two important messages are being sent. Please check the information bar in five minutes."
The misty clouds enveloped the low square building with only one floor, making it blurry and hazy, and the sound of metal knocking could be faintly heard.
Lin Luyan stared at the amazing skills in front of her, clasped her hands together, and prayed silently that the restaurant would become bigger.
There was only one room, and it was so small, so it should be impossible. She felt that there must be other surprises.
The mist disappeared, and the restaurant shed its mystery and revealed its true appearance.
Lin Luyan held her forehead speechlessly: ...
Is there something wrong? Why does the human shelter look exactly like the demolished huts in the village next door?
The bricks and tiles outside are very old and covered with dirt and dust. It's almost like a big "demolish" word is being hammered into the wall.
Lin Luyan was a little disappointed and in a very complicated mood. She gently pushed open the door, and the flying dust choked her and made her cough several times.
The surprise in my heart was like the surging waves of the sea, growing instead of decreasing.
The front desk is right at the entrance, and there isn't even a stool. Where do the restaurant's customers sit?
She couldn't help but mutter in her heart, it's okay that the store is shabby and small, but how come it can't even guarantee the most basic dine-in service? It doesn't look like a proper shelter at all.
The door to the kitchen couldn't be opened, as if it was being held back by something.
[The restaurant has not yet opened. Please wait patiently. The operator can enter the restaurant after activating it, and only then will he truly obtain the restaurant operating rights.]
Lin Luyan was bewildered. What was going on? Wasn't she the owner of the restaurant? How could she not even have access? And what did this activation even mean?
Do we need to pick an auspicious day to open the business?
Outrageous.
Five minutes passed quickly, the message alert sounded, and with a "beep", a striking little red dot appeared in the personal panel information bar.
Her breathing frequency slowed down unconsciously, and Lin Luyan didn't know what she was nervous about. She held her breath and clicked on the panel with trembling fingertips.
[Restaurant activation condition: Kill a zombie. (Those who are not brave will not have smooth sailing.)]
[The countdown to doomsday is 71 hours, 23 minutes, and 56 seconds. Restaurants are absolutely safe. Work hard and you can survive for a long time!]
Kill zombies? !
Lin Luyan has seen zombies before.
At that time, she hid beside the kitchen refrigerator and looked out timidly.
Zombies look like humans but are not human. Their skin is a scary grayish-white color, and their nails and teeth are extremely sharp, making them deadly weapons.
They wandered the streets with empty eyes, looking for prey to kill.
Just watching it from a distance is enough to make people so scared that their legs go weak, let alone killing it.
After taking a few deep breaths, Lin Luyan's eyes gradually became firm.
There is no place for idle people in the apocalypse, and killing zombies is the most basic skill for survival. She must take this step bravely, otherwise she will be like in her previous life, unable to find fresh food and starving to death.
…………
The sun rises, shining warmly on the earth.
Lin Luyan rarely joins the morning jogging army to exercise and stretch her body.
Her plan for today is to finish her run and then learn some martial arts, fighting, and Sanda to master life-saving and offensive combat skills.
I happened to run to an open space near the commercial street.
The new restaurant was crowded with people. A few of them, who were very curious, pressed their bodies against the outside, staring curiously inside, their eyes moving from top to bottom.
