Chapter 109 The Community Was Occupied
While Tian Yao was recuperating from her injuries, the others did not go out to kill zombies or look for supplies, but instead took a short rest with the wounded.
One night, Tian Yao remembered the secondary spatial brain core she had copied. After taking it out and eating it, she discovered that her spatial core had not been upgraded. "Does this mean that the copied superpowers can only be copied over and over again? If I want to upgrade, I have to copy the upgraded superpowers of others?"
"If that's the case, I've copied so many abilities, and if I want to level up, I have to touch others. If I touch them too much, not only will others not think too much, I'll also feel uncomfortable and depressed..."
I thought the copying ability was a cheat, but it seems it's only slightly better than useless. Except for the copied space, the others can just be treated as life skills and maintained at level one.
When Tian Yao's injury was almost healed and she was about to go with everyone to the wholesale market that Auntie Guogai mentioned, something happened, not a big deal.
A team of more than 20 people arrived and took over the zombie-free community.
They knocked on every door: "Everyone who is alive, come to the community center for a meeting!"
“If you’re willing to stay in the community, you must join us!”
"If you don't want to stay, leave this community immediately!"
When they knocked on the door of the apartment where Tian Yao and her family lived, it was Yang Zhijiang who opened the door: "This community is not yours, why don't you let us live here?"
The person knocking on the door looked inside and said, "You can live here. Each person will give us five kilograms of food every month!"
"Let me register you guys! By the way, are you staying here or not?"
"We'll stay! Five kilograms per person, we'll pay it. Where's this baby?" Tian Yao pointed at Lin Bo who was being held by Lin He: "He's only five years old!"
The man leaned over and looked at Lin Bo. "He—pays two kilograms. There are twelve of you, and you only pay fifty-seven kilograms of food a month. If you just go out and collect food once, you can live for a month. Think about it carefully!"
"Send a representative to the meeting!"
After closing the door, Yang Zhijiang said dissatisfiedly: "Our food didn't fall from the sky!"
Tian Yao smiled and said, "It's like having an additional property management company. We're just paying property management fees, right? There's nothing hard to understand!"
"Those of us who came here first didn't even think about occupying this neighborhood," Liu Xujiang said, "Why don't we find a neighborhood without zombies?"
"A residential complex has at least two gates. Do you want to guard them? Or should I?" Hou Chao glanced at Liu Xujiang and said, "I think this is a good idea!"
"They collect food and have to take on the responsibility of guarding it. Even if they find zombies, they can warn me and the mosquito problem won't happen again."
Wang Qiancheng nodded repeatedly: "That's right! The tragedy of mosquitoes cannot happen again."
Bai Nana looked up at everyone and said, "If you don't mind, I have no objection either. I've calculated that, not counting the fruit space, if we go out to collect supplies and each person brings back ten kilograms of food, we can live for two months. In these two months, Tian Yao's injury will have healed long ago, so maybe we should go somewhere else."
When it comes to mosquitoes, everyone is silent. Yang Zhijiang said, "Five kilograms is five kilograms. I'm going to the meeting and see what else they say!"
Yang Zhijiang's down-to-earth words successfully eased the atmosphere. Ye Xiaofang jumped up and said, "Old Yang, I'll go with you!"
"See if you can get a group rate, a discount, installment payment, or something like that!"
"This money-grubber!" Liu Xujiang just said this, then he reacted and leaned against the window and said to Ye Xiaofang: "Paying in installments is too much of a loss, don't do this!"
"Isn't this girl studying accounting in school?" Guozi asked.
Wang Qiancheng spread out his hands: "It's somewhat related. She studied credit relations or something."
"Who knows?"
"Let's plan when we're going to collect supplies. We've been idle for several days," Li Zhen patted Tian Yao's shoulder carefully. "We have food in our hands, so we don't have to worry. We can go anywhere!"
"Ah Zhen, wait until they come back from the meeting!" Tian Yao patted Li Zhen soothingly: "My injuries have healed. I can run and jump. There is no problem collecting supplies."
Li Zhen said, "I'm fine! I just want to go out and kill zombies!"
Tian Yao said: "I want to go too!"
"I've wanted to go a long time ago. You're recovering from your injuries, and we're gaining weight," Guozi patted his small belly, which was a little like a life preserver. "See? It's grown bigger!"
"Let's have a baby next year!" Tian Yao was about to reach out and pat Guozi when Duan Lei stepped forward and said, "I've lost weight!"
Seeing this, Guozi winked at Duan Lei and said, "You are so narrow-minded! She hit me, and I am the one who suffered! I was taken advantage of!"
Tian Yao pushed Duan Lei away: "Hateful!" She said to Guozi: "Bullshit, you're not even as handsome as Xiao Lei, why should I take advantage of you?"
Duan Lei said: "I'm not jealous. You've already looked at the two of them, now it's time to look at me. I've lost weight, and you didn't even notice!"
Hearing this, Tian Yao held her forehead helplessly: "Everyone has gained weight, and I am the only one who is thin, okay? I can't eat or sleep well."
"I've decided. When they come back, I'll go for a stroll in the wholesale market! Just for you fat guys!"
Liu Xujiang raised his hand and said, "I'm fine. I'll just wait until you're healed! If you don't leave, we'll all turn into pigs!"
"You're a pig! I'm a beauty!" Bai Nana walked aside: "No matter how fat, I'm still a beauty." She walked behind Tian Yao: "Yaoyao, how is your injury? Let me take a look!"
"It's scabbed over. Killing zombies is no problem." Tian Yao was surprised by Bai Nana's address to her. She waved her arm and said, "It doesn't hurt at all! It's all because of Xiao Lei. He told me to wait a few more days."
Duan Lei stood not far from Tian Yao, looking at her with a smile.
Yang Zhijiang and Ye Xiaofang pushed open the door and walked in. Ye Xiaofang was furious: "We are asked to hand over food and send people on patrol. If we don't patrol, we have to hand over more food."
Tian Yao stood up immediately: "Let's go to the wholesale market, now, immediately!"
No one stopped them, and as they left the community, some people also left. "It's abominable. Not only do we have to hand over the food, but we also have to be responsible for serving them."
"What's so great about having a few people with special abilities?"
"As if we don't have any superpowers!"
Tian Yao looked at Yang Zhijiang curiously: "What's the matter with serving them?"
Yang Zhijiang said, "When the meeting mentioned that we were required to take up duty, Fangfang and I left. We don't know what happened next!"
"Damn it! If I were there, I would have punched that so-called captain," Ye Xiaofang said angrily. "Why did I leave so impatiently? I should have stayed a little longer!"
"Let's go to the market first," Tian Yao shook her head at Ye Xiaofang. "Those people are not important. Supplies are the most important."
