As long as there's food, they'll cooperate like crazy.
"Okay, base commander, don't worry, we will definitely cooperate!"
"Yes, we will definitely maintain order."
"Commander! What time is it being issued? My kids at home are starving!"
"Why don't we go help?"
Liu Bo suppressed the crowd's excitement once again, pointed to the small building behind him, and continued:
"In addition, a supermarket will be opened here later, and everyone who has crystal cores can buy things here."
The crowd erupted again, shouting, "Supermarket!!"
Now, it was impossible to suppress the question any longer; someone shouted anxiously, "..."
"Can it only be crystal cores? What about gold or something?"
"That thing inside a zombie's head is a crystal core, right? Luckily I didn't lose it; I kept it all."
A man, startled, patted his chest.
"Who says otherwise? I just tossed it anywhere by the bedside. It almost tripped me when I got up last night. I was about to throw it away this morning, but thankfully my wife stopped me. I'm so grateful to my wife!"
"Base Commander, what do we do if we don't have any crystal cores?"
Everyone has a lot of questions. Liu Bo has started, but the specifics are up to the person who opens the shop.
Qin Siye, as the store manager, took this opportunity to promote the store.
"We will open at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't worry, the supermarket has plenty of goods and there is no limit to the amount you can buy. As long as you have crystal cores, you can buy them."
Qin Siye answered everyone's questions one by one, while Liu Bo hurriedly took the supplies and left first, busy distributing them as quickly as possible.
Time waits for no one.
Everyone present was still immersed in the good news that a supermarket would soon be available at the base, and no one paid any attention to Liu Bo's movements.
Those who were clamoring to help and urging the distribution of supplies are still at the supermarket entrance, unwilling to leave, wanting to know more about the specific situation.
It wasn't until the base started distributing supplies that everyone belatedly realized what was happening and rushed to line up.
That evening, the people at the Anshi base ate the supplies that had just been distributed by the base and were immersed in their bright dreams for the future.
There's a supermarket at the base now.
The base will no longer lack food.
Life seems to have hope again.
"Great, Dad! There's food at the base now, so we won't go hungry!"
"Wife, I'll go find a team to leave the base tomorrow. Don't worry, as long as I have a breath left, I will never let you and the baby go hungry again."
"Waaaaah, God, please hurry up, even just one day earlier! My old man wouldn't have passed away hungry..."
"Hey bro, I'm going to line up at the supermarket after dinner. I'll sleep in front of the supermarket tonight. Want to come with me?"
Various sounds rang out throughout the base, and without exception, they were all related to the supermarket.
······
The supermarket took only one day and one night from determining the address to opening.
The supermarket opens at 8 a.m., but the night before, long lines had already formed. Many people without crystal cores went to the base entrance to wait, hoping to rush out and farm crystal cores as soon as the base opened, praying they could still buy some things when they returned.
Seeing that the queue was getting longer and longer, Liu Bo didn't dare to sleep all night and organized the base guards to maintain order.
When Qin Siye opened the door on time, there were two long lines that almost stretched out of the base.
Xin'er selected four mutated beasts from the group in the space to take charge in the shop.
A rooster with fire-type superpowers—a fighter jet.
The giant white goose with water-based superpowers—Iron Pot
Little Golden Monkey with psychic abilities
Little Gray, a white tiger with lightning-type supernatural abilities
Besides Qian Leduo's family of three, the store also hired six people with superpowers, ten ordinary people, and three people including He Tuo. On the first day of opening, it took more than twenty people with their feet barely touching the ground to get things running.
The mutated beasts were originally staying on the second floor, but it was getting too late to restock from top to bottom. The four of them couldn't stand it and actively helped out.
Compared to the other three, the golden monkey Xiao Jin was much more agile. It ran down the stairs carrying the supplies, and even took things from the shelves and handed them to the sales clerk at the counter.
The customers were all amazed by Xiao Jin's cleverness. Xiao Jin was praised so much that he worked harder and harder, and he didn't want to go back to the second floor. He was busy working on the first floor.
Seeing that everything was going well at the store, Xin'er went back to the S City base to take a break.
Imagine sitting under a parasol, reclining on a deck chair, sipping milk tea, with various snacks and fruits laid out on a small table, and leisurely watching a movie.
The purpose of raising these beastly minions is simply to reduce her own workload; she deserves it.
Over the next week, the temperature rose in stages every day, feeling like the sweltering heat of July or August even though it was only March.
The news was extremely urgent, and as soon as the signal was restored, Lu Zheng notified every base he could reach.
The four major bases—Xinghuo Base, Beijing Base, Haishi Base, and S City Base—have successively dispatched teams to the bases where contact has been lost.
Xin'er couldn't feel the heat. While others were sweating profusely in short sleeves, she was lying in the sun, sleeping soundly.
Lu Zheng's phone call woke her up.
“Miss Xin’er, we have been able to contact a total of eighty-nine bases. All the shops in the bases have been cleaned and are ready to open for business at any time.”
Eighty-nine?
It's worth noting that before the apocalypse, China had over 300 prefecture-level cities, and now less than half of them are gone.
Xin'er, who was initially drowsy, was becoming more awake.
"Okay, have the base cooperate. I can send people over anytime."
