After finishing the second bowl of cold noodles, Yang Datong drank the melted ice water without any disgust.
This was the day he ate the most and drank the most water since the end of the world.
Even though his stomach was full, he still wanted to try the pork trotter rice that his elder brother had mentioned.
I simply cleaned up the garbage, picked up the lemon tea and continued to queue while drinking it.
I’m afraid that if I queue up too late I won’t be able to buy it.
Yang Datong was lucky. He used the remaining points to buy two rice bowls before Xie Purou closed her stall.
If he can't finish it today, he can eat it tomorrow. Anyway, he won't and won't want to waste it.
It was already very late when Xie Pu Rou returned to the B&B. She was the one who went out early and came back late.
She had just taken a shower when the people from the central base arrived and were waiting for her in the food street with Yue Xiwen.
There are not many people on the food street at night because everyone has already eaten their fill during the day.
The lights in the food court are very bright and can illuminate the appearance of the food.
The difference from indoors is that the air here is better and more circulated.
When she arrived at the central base, everyone had several meals in hand and was happily eating.
She thought there would be no shortage of food in the central base, and she never imagined it would be like this.
"You're here." Yue Xiwen patted the seat next to her and motioned her to sit down.
There are still people staying in the B&B nearby who come down for a night run or walk.
"Isn't this the place to talk? How about we go somewhere else?"
"Hello, shop owner. I was sent by the central base to be in charge of purchasing items this time. You can call me Xiao Ke."
Xiaoke is a boy. To be precise, there are no other girls among the people who came except Yue Xiwen and her.
She nodded politely, "Hello."
"Can we sit here for a while?"
Xie Purou nodded, she was not thoughtful enough.
The people from the central base were eating so intently that she felt embarrassed to interrupt them.
She sat down and chatted with Yue Xiwen, "Does your dad have any good friends who are base commanders? A base that's close by."
When she asked this, Yue Xiwen understood what she meant.
She understood why she had single-handedly destroyed the Shigang base yesterday when she saw so many new women coming to the B&B.
This matter has not spread yet, but it will probably spread in a couple of days.
"The Jiaoyang Base is pretty good. It's well developed there and it's close by."
Xie Purou nodded and wrote down the name, planning to visit this base next time.
"Miss Xie, we're full. Where do you think we can go to chat?"
So fast?! They've only just exchanged two sentences.
"Let's go to the clothing store. Aren't you here mainly for thermal clothing?"
"Yes, but not entirely. We also want to buy as much insecticide as possible."
Xiao Ke explained truthfully, "After receiving Lie Yan's warning, we sent word to all the major bases. Every base reported a large influx of mosquitoes recently."
It’s strange to say, mosquitoes will exist when it’s hot, but when the temperature exceeds a certain point, not only people but even mosquitoes will disappear.
It seems that the arrival of the end of the world has affected the original normal ecology to some extent. Various animals and plants look normal, but in fact they have changed a long time ago.
The survival of the fittest in the apocalypse applies not only to human struggles but also to conflicts between animals and plants.
Xie Purou thought of the tree in her yard that could eliminate the zombie virus. She asked the system: "That tree..."
[It is recommended that the host not research mutant plants, as current science cannot provide such results.] Therefore, giving them the fruit is useless.
M80 misunderstood Xie Purou's meaning.
"I mean, if they see the tree, they'll probably want to take it back for research. If they knew the fruit could detoxify, I'd be in trouble. I want to ask you, can they see the value of the tree?"
If possible, she should pack up the tree and put it back into the space.
If I can't save all of humanity, at least don't let them bother me.
【Host, don't worry. Even if they eat it, they won't be able to tell.】
"Isn't that nonsense? I eat fruit but I don't know what nutrients it contains."
M80: Break off relations in three minutes!
While communicating with the system, she unknowingly walked to the conference room of the clothing store and sat down.
Xiao Ke saw that she didn't say anything and had no expression on her face, so he thought she was unhappy.
"Shopkeeper? Any problem?"
"No." Xie Pu Rou came back to her senses.
As a guest of the B&B, she stood up and placed a bottle of water in front of each person.
I wanted to take out some sunflower seeds to eat while we talked, but I felt that it would make the occasion seem informal, so I didn't take any.
"Give me a list of what you want and how many you want, and I'll take a look."
Xiaoke took out the list he had prepared long ago and gave it to her.
Constant temperature clothing: As many as you need.
Insulated tents: As many as you need.
Insecticide: As much as you can get.
…
She read a few lines and then stopped. In short, just take as much of everything as you can.
The Central Base is indeed a large base, very wealthy.
"Are you all coming from the Central Base?"
"No, the central base is far away from here, and we can't get here in such a short time. We were on a mission to another base, and since we're close, the leader asked us to stop by."
Xie Purou seemed to be thinking about something.
"The central base is so far away?"
She regretted it the moment she said it. What a stupid question.
"The shop owner is joking. It's not far, but the road is difficult to travel."
Yes, Yue Xiwen had mentioned the problems on the road before.
"Is it because the weather is too hot and the tires can't adapt?"
"Not entirely. The main reason is that after the apocalypse, we can no longer take the old roads. We can only find smaller roads, which increases the difficulty of getting here."
According to the zombie movies Xie Purou had seen, it should be the early stage of the zombie outbreak. The cars were stuck on the road and the people trapped on the road were mutated.
It takes time to clean up a large number of cars and zombies, and no one wants to waste time and energy doing such a thing.
"It'll take a while for you to get back. What if you encounter extreme heat on the way?"
"The central base sent a plane to pick us up, so Miss Shopkeeper, could you sell us some more rice?"
Xiaoke didn't know if his request was a bit too much.
Xie Purou didn't let him worry for too long and agreed immediately.
"Just tell me how much you want to buy and I'll have them mass-produce it."
At the end of the discussion, we decided to order as many dumplings and rice dishes as possible for each type, which we could take home and heat up before eating.
The vegetable salad they took home to keep fresh only cost 5,000 servings, and they could only satisfy their craving for cold noodles and lemonade here.
When they were eating at the snack street just now, everyone shared and tried every kind of food there. It was so delicious that they just regretted that they only had one stomach.
She drew a lot of other things at the Shigang base. She didn't know what exactly she had drawn. She would just wait until she had time tonight to look at it herself.
"Can you take so many things back with you?"
