Chapter 45: Choosing a Shop
"Xiaochen, you have reached the third level!"
"Sister, are you also at level three?" After Yu Zichen advanced, he could now see Ye Jin's level.
Ye Jin nodded: "Don't show off your supernatural powers too much for now. Use the book I gave you last time to practice spiritual power training and consolidate your supernatural powers."
Psychic powers are a special type, and Xiaochen has advanced so quickly. She can't guarantee whether Xu Tian has secretly hired someone to conduct abnormal experiments.
After Yu Zichen returned, Ye Jin released the handful of saplings from his palm and took a look at them.
She sighed with tears in her eyes. She had tried so hard and absorbed much more nuclear crystals than Xiaochen, so why was the sapling still so useless?
Ye Jin wanted to take a breath, and just as she opened the curtains, she was startled and quickly closed the curtains again.
Chief Xu assigned him the house opposite?
All the villas in this area, the ownerless vacant houses whose owners had turned into zombies, were requisitioned by the army.
There were so many empty houses, why did he choose the one across from her? Her room was actually directly across from his.
Gu Jingzheng felt that the magnetic field opposite had stopped changing, and wanted to come out to take a look, but he didn't expect that he and Ye Jin were facing the window.
As soon as he arrived at the balcony, he saw Ye Jin draw the curtains in an instant. Gu Jingzheng lowered his head and chuckled. How come this girl has a completely different personality now that she grew up?
Ye Jin closed the window and never opened it again.
In the morning, after Ye Jin had breakfast made by Aunt Chen, she told everyone her thoughts. Now the base has begun to use nuclear crystals as currency on a large scale. They are not short of supplies, but what they lack most is nuclear crystals.
She planned to ask Chief Xu for a plot of land on the commercial street within the base and sell supplies in exchange for nuclear crystals.
Zhang Zhang was given full management of the store. He was a little flattered. He didn't expect Ye Jin to trust him so much.
Zhang Zhang's image is just right. He is a powerful psychic in the base and looks like someone who is not easy to mess with. With the support of the army, others will have to think twice before trying to do something bad.
Xu Zhouyun was in charge of the internal affairs of the military base. When Ye Jin went to find him, he immediately agreed and said he would give her a shop.
Based on her understanding of the Xu family father and son who usually save every penny, this is totally unlike their style. Now the base has only one main street, and the monthly rent of a large and prosperous shop requires a lot of food.
Sure enough, Xu Zhouyun said awkwardly, "Ms. Ye, we would like to ask you for a favor."
It must be no easy task to make Xu Zhouyun so uncomfortable. Ye Jin wanted to turn around and leave, but thinking about the shop, she asked, "What's the matter? Just tell me directly."
"We'd like you to help pick someone up. Professor Li Lu is one of the top virus experts in the country. He's currently trapped at S University, and we'd like to rescue him. He might have developed an antidote to the zombie virus!"
Li Lu Ye Jin knew that this old man was a medical expert who often appeared in newspapers and on television before the end of the world.
She frowned and asked, "Why didn't you bring people out when you evacuated before?"
"We only just learned the news now. When the apocalypse broke out, we didn't even have time to carry out any rescue operations before S University fell."
"Then how can you guarantee he's still alive?" It's been almost half a year since the apocalypse. How could an old man possibly survive surrounded by zombies? He'd probably starve to death long ago.
"Ms. Ye, General Gu said that the underground laboratory where Professor Li is staying has the most comprehensive security and enough food to last for at least six months."
Gu Jingzheng's mission this time is Li Lu?
Seeing Ye Jin remain silent, Xu Zhouyun said, "Miss Ye, don't worry. General Gu is a very high-level psychic. He promised us that he would guarantee your safety. That's why I'm asking this."
He then advised, "If Professor Li can really develop an antidote, then humanity will be able to escape this predicament immediately."
She didn't know whether Li Lu could save humanity from its predicament, but her previous medical research achievements were unquestionable. If she could make an antidote for zombies, she would be willing to give it a try.
"Okay! I promise."
Xu Zhouyun heard Ye Jin's answer and said with a happy smile: "Miss Ye, if you can really find Professor Li and make an antidote, you will be the benefactor of all mankind."
Ye Jin frowned. She wasn't interested in being a saint. This was the heroine's halo, and she didn't want it. Ye Jin said, "Don't speak too soon. We don't know if the person is still alive. If we encounter danger that I can't handle, I won't risk my life to protect a stranger."
Xu Zhouyun didn't get angry after hearing this, and expressed his understanding: "Ms. Ye, don't worry. If there is any danger, it will definitely be our army who will rush to the front. We are very grateful for your help."
Ye Jin felt comfortable listening to this. It was not an act of forcing anyone to do anything. She was just an ordinary person and could do things within her ability, but she would not do anything that would really put her life at risk. There were so many heroes in history books, but how many of them appeared in the textbooks alive?
Ye Jin chose a shop with the best location in the base's trading street. After all, it was the reward for this mission, so she picked the best and largest shop without hesitation.
Su Heng followed beside them with his eyelids twitching uncontrollably. Their army was short of funds, and most of the money-making opportunities had been taken by Xu Tian and his gang. They could only collect some supplies by relying on the rent from the base shops.
The shop chosen by Miss Ye can produce more than ten bags of rice a month, and the leader is now giving it to her directly.
Looking at Su Heng's expression, Ye Jin found it funny, but they, the soldiers, really served the people. It was rare that the base's security could remain stable in the end times.
Ye Jin said, "Bring the bucket."
Su Heng reacted immediately and asked Xiao Wu to get the bucket.
After a while, Xiao Wu brought people and dragged several large vats in a car.
Ye Jin looked at these large vats and frowned. Alas, this child.
She had not been at the base for the past few days. Seeing the cracks on the corners of their mouths, it seemed that they were very thirsty.
There is not enough water at the base. The good resources are all with Xu Tian. Their troops often provide aid to ordinary people. Even Commander Xu only drinks half a pot of water a day. Ye Jin looked at the cracked lips of the soldiers and shook her head. She could smell their odor from a few meters away.
I don’t know whether Professor Li can research the function of the water purifier in advance.
Xiao Wu watched Ye Jin fill several large vats with water in a short while, his eyes widened: "Miss Ye, you are amazing! Chen Tian has reached the first level of supernatural power, but he can't release so much water. How did you do it?"
"Even if his supernatural power reaches the second level, he can still release so much water."
"Level 2? Even a Level 1 Chen Tian would take a long time to relax." Xiao Wu asked, "Seeing you relax so easily, are you already at Level 2?"
"Yeah." Ye Jin replied ambiguously. She didn't want to attract too much attention. She had the strength to intimidate others, but she also didn't want to be targeted. The third-level wind-type mutant last time was Xu Tian's man, and there must be a master behind him.
"Wow, Miss Ye, you are amazing." Xiao Wu now almost regards Ye Jin as a goddess.
Ye Jin looked at Su Heng's distressed expression and said, "Don't worry, the taxes I will pay for the store I open in the future will be higher than the rent you are collecting now."
Su Heng was also in silent language. Wasn't Miss Ye's words too arrogant?
