"Why did you buy so much? Can't you live like this?"
Ye Rong felt that her man was acting strangely today. Why was he so extravagant?
"Let's eat first and talk while we eat."
"This one is Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan should eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
Ye Rong glared at him. "What are you talking about? Why don't we each have a different dish and eat together? Why are we as a family so awkward?"
The steaming hot meal was in front of me. I don’t know if it was because of the hot weather, but it didn’t get cold on the way back, and the fragrance kept coming to my nose.
The three of them could no longer bear it, and the first thing they took with their chopsticks was the dish in front of them.
After struggling for a while, Yu Bai finally said, "Wife, I want to discuss with you whether we should move to another place..."
"Change place? Why?"
Yu Bai took out the Grape B&B promotional poster that he had been keeping in his arms. "Look at this. It has water and electricity, and you only need nine crystal cores a month to stay here."
"Is this...reliable?" Ye Rong took the poster, and when her eyes fell on the words "absolute safe zone" printed on the poster, she was a little moved.
"We haven't even been to this place. How could we know if it's real? We've spent so much manpower and resources to build this base, and yet we're still constantly being harassed by zombies?"
Her words made Yu Bai silent. He had previously thought that going to Grape B&B would at least provide him with something to eat, but now he thought...
"Then I'll go out tonight and discuss it with Lao Wang and the others, and then go check out that store."
"All the supplies I brought back today were bought from that store. It only cost a few crystal cores. If I had bought them at the base, I don't know how much it would have cost."
"You don't know, that dining car is amazing. It will automatically restock whatever supplies you take. As long as you have crystal cores, you can buy them."
"Besides, they're already capable enough to open a food truck and set up a stall in the apocalypse. It won't hurt to go and see if it's real or not."
Ye Rong picked up some food from her own bowl and handed it to her daughter. "Are there really so many supplies in the apocalypse?"
The hesitation in her words made Yu Bai feel that she was also moved.
"Let's go explore first. If it's safe and there are supplies, then we can go..."
Yu Bai agreed solemnly: "Okay, I'll go discuss it with Lao Wang later."
"Mom, you eat yours, why do you keep picking food for me?"
The daughter's sweet voice interrupted the couple's conversation, and they both lowered their heads to look at their daughter.
"What's this dish, mom?"
A small question made Ye Rong burst into tears instantly.
Her daughter is five years old and doesn't know what normal vegetables look like.
"My dear Yuanyuan, this red, sour and sweet one is a tomato, and this one is..."
Yu Bai, a grown man, felt his heart melt when he saw this scene.
Maybe they have to give it a try, even if it's just for their daughter to have a full meal.
That night, Ye Rong told Yuanyuan a lot of things that happened before the end of the world.
Yuanyuan was too young at that time and had no impression of it.
Children in the end times are not allowed to know what the world was like before.
The education they receive here will only make children assume the greatest malice towards others. Only in this way can they survive to the greatest extent possible even if their parents are not around.
At this moment, Yu Bai and others did not know that they had made the most correct decision in their lives, helping several families and their children avoid a natural disaster.
There were no accidents throughout the whole day, only Xie Purou working hard as usual.
After staying inside the base for the past two days, she finally saw what the lower-class people were like in the apocalypse.
With Yue Xiwen around, no one with special abilities dares to bully the weak by relying on their special abilities. As long as someone at the bottom has a crystal core, they can get a full meal by queuing up.
Those who don't have crystal cores will form a team of a dozen ordinary people to hunt zombies near the base. They can buy food with the crystal cores they kill, and a few bites per person can fill their stomachs.
The portions of food Xie Purou ordered were huge, twice the amount of food an average girl ate before the apocalypse.
She is not afraid of waste, and it is impossible for her to waste.
Not to mention the taste, if someone really threw food into the trash can, ordinary people would rush to share it if they saw it.
Ordinary people now have food to eat and water to drink, and those at the bottom of society finally see hope. They think that as long as they work hard and kill more zombies tomorrow, they will at least have something to eat.
There were many poor people wearing tattered clothes, mostly men, and she noticed that there were very few women coming to her place.
She secretly had some guesses, but she kept them all in her heart.
Yue Xiwen came back, "Little shop owner, I told the higher-ups about your plan to place vending machines in the base, and they all took it very seriously."
"Well, I'll be closing up shop soon after I sell all this. Do you want to come over to my place and talk?"
Yue Xiwen intuitively felt that Xie Pu Rou had something important to tell her, so she agreed immediately and sent someone to tell her that she would be going out for a while.
When they arrived at the B&B, Xie Purou told her everything she wanted to say along the way without any beating around the bush.
"Tomorrow is my last day at Blaze Base. I'll be moving to another base next week."
"If you have anything, you can come to the B&B to see me on Thursday."
She decided to set up the stall from Monday to Wednesday every week and rest at other times. This way she would be more regular and could prevent procrastination.
"You...are leaving?" Yue Xiwen was stunned. "Which base are you going to?"
"I don't know either. Anyway, I won't stay in the same place for too long." Xie Pu Rou said it frankly.
In fact, the two of them did not have a deep revolutionary friendship, but it was just a mutual admiration between the two girls.
Yue Xiwen admired her magnanimity, talent and courage. Although she didn't know where so many strange things came from, the little girl did not hide them to herself, which surpassed 95% of people in the apocalypse.
These days, Yue Xiwen often asks herself, if she were a shop owner with so many supplies, would she want to go out and help more people.
Now, she looked at Xie Purou and confirmed her answer.
Yes, definitely!
If she were in his place, she would not be confined to a small base. There are more people waiting to have a good meal in such a magical food truck.
After figuring out the reason, Yue Xiwen said lightly, "I understand you."
The atmosphere was dull for a moment.
"Don't be sad, my B&B is not going away. If you need any supplies, you can come over and get them."
Yue Xiwen was amused by her, and she didn't know why their relationship seemed to have become closer. Maybe it was because they had a lot of similarities.
She joked, "Girl, do you think you can see me whenever you want? Fuel is precious!"
Xie Purou heard her joke and pouted.
Wait until she draws out the unlimited fuel supply, and let her fill it up every day! See if she still says it’s precious!
But, can Xie Pu Rou, who is so unlucky, really be lucky enough to draw unlimited fuel supplies?
