Chapter 79: Women Are Few



"Don't, don't do that, we're doing a deal! I'm not giving it to you for free!"

Zhou Ke and the others smiled innocently, "Ms. Shopkeeper, we can accommodate as many crystal cores as you want."

Before leaving, Minister Lin said that no matter what the cost, as long as the water can be brought back, it will be fine.

The shop owners want a better deal, but they are afraid that the shop owner will not give them the opportunity to trade.

"I'm saying, I'll provide you with the machine for free, and you can use the crystal cores to exchange for points to buy water. That's the deal."

"You don't need to buy water, right? Do you want to buy some food to take back?"

There is no way that the unscrupulous businessman Xie Pu Rou would let go of the fat sheep that came to his door. If he had the chance, he would definitely try his best to squeeze them and buy more things to take back.

"Do you have a satellite phone here? We want to contact the base to pick us up."

Xie Purou just remembered to say, "I don't have a satellite phone, but I do have bus return passes. I'll give you a hundred for free."

It was originally prepared for the God of Wealth. Xie Pu Rou had already counted out a hundred of them and placed them in the space.

Everyone: “!!!”

They were originally still worried about how to get back, and everyone was determined to die. Now that they were told that they could go back safely and quickly, how could they not be excited?

"Ms. Shopkeeper, how many points are there? We should give you points. We can't just keep asking for your things for free."

Xie Pu Rou accepted everyone who came, "Sure, one hundred points for each."

Like the Transfer Business Card, each card can be used five times.

This is too affordable, Zhou Ke paid without saying a word.

Zhou Ke remembered something very important, "Can the card be transferred?"

"Yes, but it can only be transferred voluntarily and cannot be resold." It cannot be sold and will be automatically destroyed. The system will distinguish whether it is a voluntary transfer or resale.

Zhou Ke bought these 100 cards, and together with the transmission cards, he had 500 round-trip opportunities.

But Miss, such a high-end place, there is no satellite phone...

With the return bus, it should only take one day and one night to get back to the central base.

What was agreed with the base before was that if Xie Purou did not have a satellite phone, a helicopter would be arranged to fly over to pick them up in seven days.

The bus took only one day and one night to get them here, saving them a lot of time.

Zhou Ke felt relieved and started buying food.

First, he bought a batch of instant noodles and sausages at the store, then went to the lunch box area as if he was familiar with the place and bought countless lunch boxes, filling up more than a dozen supernatural spaces.

"Now everyone can have a good meal."

Xie Purou followed them throughout the whole process and gave them some suggestions from time to time.

"Wouldn't you like some vegetable salad? Vegetables can replenish vitamins."

Zhou Ke and the others paused in packing their things.

After the apocalypse, people couldn’t eat green vegetables, and everyone suffered from scurvy to varying degrees.

Scientists at the base have extracted nutrient solution from plant fluids that can replace vegetables, but the price is too high, even at cost price it is not affordable for ordinary people.

After hesitating for a while, Zhou Ke decided to buy it.

The base provides a lot of purchasing crystal cores, and the budget is based on the normal purchasing prices at other bases.

So he only needs to consider the problem of reasonable allocation of space, without even looking at the points, just buy!

For the base, the price is really cheap, so there will be no problem no matter how much he buys.

During the frantic shopping, they became quite familiar with each other.

Xie Purou asked the question she had always been curious about, "Xiao Ke, why aren't there any women among your group?"

The last time I came here, there was not even a single woman among the fifty people I traveled with.

Zhou Ke gritted his teeth, trying his best to suppress the bitterness that was rising in his heart. Every time the memories came to his mind, he could feel them again as if he were there.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Li Hu stepped forward to explain, "Many lesbians were targeted by many people in the early days of the apocalypse..."

"Superpowers only gradually emerged a year after the apocalypse. Many lesbians who awakened their powers wanted to help the people, but then they were manipulated by people with ulterior motives..."

"So, Miss Shopkeeper, please be more careful and don't trust others easily in the apocalypse."

"We do have regulations, but some female comrades are more sentimental and always think that saving as many people as possible is a good thing."

It is natural for soldiers to help the people, and unity between the military and the people is normal in the early days of the end times.

Later, for some reason, the harder they tried to rescue the survivors, the more the survivors no longer believed in the soldiers or the country.

Most people would rather rule their own territory, thus creating many private bases.

Xie Purou analyzed from a few words that many women must have been stabbed in the back while rescuing survivors.

"Hasn't Miss Shopkeeper noticed that there are so few women?"

"You have a lot of women here, and there are children too."

They were talking about the women she had brought back from the Stonehill base.

"Found it."

When she was setting up a stall at the base, she discovered that the gender ratio gap was extremely large, and she saw even fewer elderly people and children.

"That can't be without a single woman, right?"

"Since that rescue, most of the people killed were women. We don't have many space ability users in the logistics department to begin with, and now there are only a few in the entire department."

Xie Purou nodded, "Then don't you need to buy some hygiene products to take back?"

Zhou Ke blushed and finally decided to buy some.

Because he's not a woman, he can't really put himself in a woman's shoes. He even ignores this kind of thing. It's really...

"Thank you, Miss Shopkeeper, for the reminder."

I was stunned when I saw the price of sanitary napkins.

"This... only ten points a pack?"

No matter how careless they are, they still know the market price. Today's sanitary napkins were produced in the past and have expired by now. Only many wealthy families can afford them.

The price is so friendly too.

I bought enough sanitary products to fill an entire space, but I haven’t finished packing my lunch boxes yet.

They went to the dumpling shop again and bought a large quantity of dumplings.

Fried dumplings are a bit oily and cost-effective, so I only buy fried dumplings.

No matter whether you dip the dumplings in soy sauce or vinegar, the seasoning has been upgraded to small packages, which can be packaged and then you can tear it open and pour it out to dip it in.

Pork and beef fillings each account for half.

"Can your spatial ability keep the food fresh? Won't it go bad?" They bought a lot, so Xie Pu Rou asked a few more questions out of curiosity.

"It won't keep it fresh, but there's no temperature inside so bacteria won't multiply. It won't go bad for about three days."

Xie Pu Rou said "Oh", her space was really powerful, it could even hold living things.

I don’t know how long they took to collect supplies, but Xie Purou kept watching them work.
