Chapter 87 Leaving the Central Base



Otherwise, no matter how skilled a doctor is, he cannot treat a patient with nothing in his hands.

"Schools were also closed after the extreme heat and only reopened six months ago. Currently, schools can only teach children simple words."

"All unnecessary work has been halted at the base. You didn't sell us many thermostatic suits, so we can only use them sparingly."

Xie Purou interrupted him, "I'm just taking a look."

Zhou Ke stopped talking and just followed her quietly.

Continuing to walk forward, Xie Purou asked, "How do ordinary people without special abilities in the base earn crystal cores?"

"The elderly, the weak, women, children, and the wounded will all do what they can. The base doesn't keep idle people."

He then gave a few examples, such as sweeping the floor, which is the easiest job that can be done with hands and is done by children.

The wounded will not sit idle after their injuries are treated. They will do some work no matter what.

Xie Purou had almost finished her tour and saw that the situation in the base was not optimistic. Even the central base was like this, let alone other bases.

I wonder if the Blaze Base can survive the extreme heat with the supplies she provides...

She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't hear what Zhou Ke said next.

"Miss Shopkeeper? Miss Shopkeeper!" Zhou Ke noticed that she was in a daze and called out a few times.

"Huh?" Xie Pu Rou came back to her senses after being called.

"I say, can we place water vending machines in branch bases? Two per base."

"Just as I said before."

*Flame Base*

"We have enough water and supplies! Tell people not to go out."

The lower class people live in tents, and the middle class people live in houses. They have to pay crystal cores to the base for monthly rent for the houses.

Now they are so angry that their teeth are about to break. They have to hand over the crystal cores and live in a place that is not even as comfortable as the lower class people.

The Flame Base purchased supplies early, so no one had to sleep on the streets.

Although there is a house to live in, the thermal insulation effect is definitely not as good as that of a tent.

The sunlight shines through the curtains, making the room look like a barbecue oven.

I can't open the window, and it's no use opening the window to let in the wind, because the wind brings hot air from inside to outside.

When it blows on people, it not only does not make them feel cool, but makes them feel more stuffy.

The walls were cracked due to the sun, and when you touched them you could feel the warmth coming from your hands.

If eggs were available now, I believe many people would try to shoot videos of frying eggs indoors.

Yue Tonghai is already very satisfied with the current situation. Compared with other bases, their place is already a paradise on earth.

Don't believe it?

Just go out and ask how many bases can now supply ordinary people with enough water and supplies.

Take the Jiaoyang Base for example. Yue Tonghai just made a phone call there today. During the call, Zeng Rui, the base commander of the Jiaoyang Base, asked him indirectly where so many supplies came from.

Of course he didn't tell anyone.

I didn't dare tell anyone without the consent of the manager of Grape B&B. What if I made Xie Pu Rou unhappy? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?

Yue Tonghai sympathized with the plight of other bases and felt sorry for the people who were suffering.

In the end, he could only say that he would ask someone first, and there was nothing else he could do.

After much persuasion, he finally hung up the phone and immediately asked Yue Xiwen to drive to Grape B&B to ask, but was told that Xie Pu Rou had gone out.

Yue Xiwen returned empty-handed, which made Yue Tonghai extremely anxious.

After seeing how the central base managed ordinary people, Xie Purou decided to follow suit little by little when she returned.

For example, let the children do things within their ability, or let children of school age go to school. In short, they should not be idle.

As for the elderly, they don’t have a homestay yet, so they don’t need to consider this aspect for the time being.

As for the women, that was not her concern.

Women are adults too, they just don't have a physical advantage over men, but they are not powerless.

If you want to survive in the apocalypse, there is no distinction between men and women, young and old. Everyone wants to live. If you don’t work hard, you will be left behind and beaten.

The last time she was selling grilled squid, she was very pleased to see that everyone was keeping fit despite the extreme heat and being unable to go out.

There was no time to think about it, so I went back to the dining car and started a new round of work.

She had nothing else to do at the central base, so she was so bored that she joined everyone else in the hustle and bustle, following the packing.

She goes to sleep when she is tired and continues to work after waking up.

Repeat this process for several days until the stall setting task for this week is completed.

Jiang Zhuo came to her and used the remaining points to buy a lot of water and boxed lunches. No one knew what he was going to do with so many things, and Xie Purou didn't ask.

After a few days, the base had enough water storage. Besides, there were vending machines selling water at the base, so it was time for her to say goodbye.

When she found Zhou Ke and wanted to say goodbye, Zhou Ke asked first: "Is the owner leaving?"

Xie Purou was stunned. "How did you know?"

"You never set up a stall for more than three days each time." You will know if you ask carefully.

Her heart was beating fast.

The central base won’t force her to stay, right?

Seeing her worry, Zhou Ke smiled and said, "I have already mentioned it to the base in advance. The base welcomes you to come again next time."

Does this mean she's leaving?

Xie Purou smiled calmly.

All the excuses I had in my mind were of no use anymore.

"good."

After a few days of working, the central base could see that Xie Pu Rou, a calm and composed person, looked cold on the surface, but was actually very enthusiastic and would work with them.

China has more than just the central base. The fact that she came here to help everyone overcome difficulties shows that she is a very good person.

Those who do not limit themselves to a small place are the ones who truly have big ambitions.

If Xie Pu Rou knew that they thought of her in such a high regard, she would be so happy that she would walk sideways.

All the space ability users who had followed Zhou Ke to the B&B to shop before were here, and there were also a dozen new faces.

Xie Pu Rou raised her eyebrows, "What? You all came to see me off?" Is she that proud?

"Um... Ms. Owner, we want to order a large batch of boxed lunches."

Xie Purou: …

No wonder all the people here are people with space abilities.

She ordered more than 9,999 meals from the vending machine, and the machine kept spitting out lunch boxes like a Gatling gun.

It spit out space ability users while collecting them at the same time, and the speed was very fast. It filled up the space ability users in just one hour.

"Sure enough, there's no need to store water anymore. The space is just huge, hehe."

Zhou Ke patted Li Hu's shoulder and said, "Why are you so silly?"

"How can I not be happy? Now that everyone can eat less every day, it should be enough to last for three or four days."

If it's any longer, it won't work. If it's any longer, it will go bad.

"Everyone, I have to go back. See you later."

Everyone looked at her seriously, took off their hats and saluted, and their voices resounded through the sky, "Thank you, owner."

The base's radio broadcast sounded, telling the public the whole story of how Xie Purou helped the base. Xie Purou was so scared that she got into the RV and drove away at the fastest speed without even turning back.
