Chapter 14 Chapter 14 The First Members of the Base (Part 2)…
Fang Qing looked at Su Qing. He was young and didn't look like the leader of a base at all. Instead, he looked like a silly girl of a leader who was ignorant of the sufferings of the world.
She weighed it over and over again in her mind and decided to trust her. She didn't know if it was because the girl in front of her saved her that made it difficult for her to be vigilant. This made Fang Qing, who had experienced so much hardship in the apocalypse and found it difficult to trust others, feel incredible.
I took Su Qing to where she lived. It was a large bungalow compound with high walls. The heavy black iron gate looked very safe.
After walking in, there was a group of children playing quietly in the yard. Su Qing was a little surprised that the other people Fang Qing mentioned were such young children. It must be unimaginable how difficult it would be to raise such a group of children who had no ability to survive in this doomsday.
"Sister Fang Qing! You're back." The children rushed forward.
"Sister Fang Qing, who is this beautiful sister?"
"Oh, is this a wolf?"
"No, this should be a wolfdog. I've seen it before."
The children surrounded the two of them and chatted non-stop. When they saw Fuguier following them, their attention was immediately attracted. The children surrounded Fuguier, wanting to get closer but also feeling a little scared.
Fuguier looked at the children surrounding him, tilted his head and thought for a while, then fell to the ground, stretched out his tongue and rolled on the ground with his four paws facing the sky.
"Is it rolling around? How cute."
"Sister Fang Qing, can we touch it?"
Two slightly older children came over from behind. Seeing some blood on Fang Qing's body, they looked at Su Qing with a little caution, "Sister Fang Qing, are you injured? Who is this?"
"This is Su Qing. I had an accident and she saved me."
"The boy is Li Xing and the girl is Wang Tianqi. They are the ones who take care of the children when I'm not around."
"Hello." Su Qing smiled at the two of them.
"Hello, sister." Wang Tianqi nodded to Su Qing, then looked at Fang Qing, "Sister Fang Qing, did you find any food?"
"Oh..." Fang Qing sighed and shook her head.
"I'll go to the granary again." Li Xing said and was about to go out.
Fang Qing grabbed Li Xing and said, "Are you trying to kill yourself? There are so many zombies there. Last time, you almost couldn't come back."
"But that's the only place with food right now. What if we get it? We can't let these kids go hungry forever."
"Don't go. Su Qing said she has a base that can ensure we have food and clothing."
The two looked at Su Qing, who wasn't much older than them, in confusion. This guy had a base? And could he even provide them with food and clothing? In this apocalyptic world, even the official base couldn't guarantee everyone a meal, and this guy could? Was there something wrong?
Seeing the two people's confusion, Su Qing said, "The base has just been built and it's very safe. As long as you contribute a certain amount of labor or complete the tasks issued by the base in exchange for rewards, you can live in the base forever. Moreover, my base does not require you to hand over a large amount of supplies every day."
Su Qing looked at Fang Qing and said, "In my base, children under the age of 12 who are unable to survive can receive a daily base subsidy. Perhaps you can send someone to go with me to take a look and then decide whether to join the base."
Su Qing looked at this group of children who were only 6 or 7 years old and offered a tempting condition.
Are there subsidies for children under 12? Fang Qing and the others were shocked. Except for the three of them, everyone here was a few years old. If this was true, it would greatly reduce their burden.
But is it really that good? In today's world, where morality has declined and profit is paramount, even the capital doesn't have such good conditions.
After half a day of contact, Fang Qing had a favorable impression of Su Qing, but she couldn't gamble with the lives of so many people. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Miss Su, can you give us a day to discuss this and give you an answer tomorrow?"
Su Qing also understood their concerns and nodded, "Then I'll come back tomorrow. Fuguier, let's go."
Fuguier was making a fuss with the group of kids. When he heard Su Qing calling him, he shook his body and walked over.
The children were a little disappointed to see Fuguier leaving, "Sister, will you come again?"
Su Qing felt distressed when she saw the children, who were emaciated and pale due to long-term hunger. "Sister, please come back tomorrow."
After leaving with Fuguier, Su Qing thought for a while and walked to an open space, took out the car, opened the trunk, took out some rice and canned food from his backpack and put them in the trunk, waited there for a while and then drove the car back to Fang Qing.
Su Qing stood at the door and knocked. Fang Qing opened the door and saw that she had returned. She asked in surprise, "Miss Su, is there anything else?"
Su Qing turned around and opened the trunk. "I have some rice and canned food in my car. You can take them and eat them first."
"How can this be? I can't accept it." Fang Qing looked at those things in surprise. Rice and canned food are very expensive commodities nowadays. No one would be willing to give them out to others.
Su Qing took the things out and put them on the ground and said to Fang Qing, "Hurry and take them. They are for the children. It is very difficult to take care of these children in the end times. Whether you join me or not, since we have met by chance, I also want to do my best to help."
"This... Miss Su, thank you! Thank you so much." Fang Qing's eyes became red as she looked at these things. If it were her, she would definitely not accept these things, but those children could not... They had very little food left, and in order to save money, everyone only had one meal a day in recent days. Although the children were very hungry, they were also very sensible and no one asked for food.
"Then I'll be leaving. See you tomorrow." Su Qing turned around, got into the car, waved to Fang Qing, started the car and left.
In the apocalypse, people gradually became crazy. Children and the elderly, people who were usually treated with courtesy by everyone, became a burden in the apocalypse and also became the best targets for snatching. No one would sympathize with them and share food with them. Fang Qing seemed to have made a decision in her heart as she watched the car going away.
"Sister Fang Qing, who is that?" Li Xing saw Fang Qing hadn't gone back yet and walked over. As soon as he reached the door, he saw something on the ground. "What are these things?"
"Miss Su sent it. Take it in quickly so that the children can have a good meal today." Fang Qing came back to her senses, picked up a bag of rice, and asked Li Xing to take in the remaining bag of canned food.
"This Miss Su is really a good person, Sister Fang Qing, maybe we can give it a try."
"Yeah, what a nice guy."
…
It was already dusk when Su Qing returned home. Fuguier had played with his friends for a long time today and came back to find a place to sleep. Su Qing took a look and then went to the base alone through the teleportation channel.
Su Qing thought that Fang Qing would not refuse her tomorrow, so she wanted to make some plans while no one was around.
Their current residence consists of three wooden houses, each of which can accommodate about three adults if they squeeze together. She took a look at Fang Qing's place today and saw that there were eight people in total, so it was barely enough room.
She went into the wooden house marked Restaurant again. She had never been inside the restaurant or the store.
After opening the wooden door, the space inside was not very large, with two tables and chairs, and an automated empty display cabinet at the innermost part.
Su Qing walked forward and took a look, and found that it was an automated sales display cabinet with thirty small booths inside.
"System, how do I use this?" She looked around and didn't see any switch, and was a little confused about how to operate it.
"The interface will be updated soon... Update completed... Unlock the restaurant icon, the host can open the restaurant interface to operate."
Restaurant interface? Su Qing clicked on the newly appeared icon, and a page like a recipe appeared immediately, with various dishes on it. Su Qing saw a small rice icon at the front.
10 bowls of rice, required material - rice, do you want to make it?
Su lightly clicked yes, and a prompt to select the quantity appeared. She chose 1, and then ten bowls of processed rice appeared in the table on the right side of the page.
There was a shelf frame below. She clicked it and was prompted to set a price. Su Qing thought about the prices here and set the price at 0.1 new coupons per bowl of rice.
Just as the price was set, the display case in front of me suddenly lit up, and a bowl of rice appeared on the first small display inside. On the far right of the machine was an operation screen where I could select what I wanted to buy. It indicated that I needed to swipe my card first, and I just followed the instructions.
"What is this card?"
"The base's universal magnetic card is a gold card that combines an ID and a bank card. Only official members of the base are eligible to apply for it. You need this card to enter and exit the base and for daily purchases."
"You can apply for a magnetic card directly at the machine."
Su Qing clicked on the card application button, and an operation window opened at the bottom of the operation screen, and the screen showed "Put in the new coupon."
She took out a new 100-yuan voucher from her backpack and put it in. The operation port was closed, and then the screen showed the recharge amount of 100 yuan and the card was being issued.
This new coupon was given to her by Lu Chen before. Lu Chen asked her to buy some food but she didn't know the pricing and didn't intend to ask for money. Seeing this, Lu Chen directly left her 500 yuan. She had kept the money in her backpack and thought she would have no chance to spend it, but she didn't expect to use it now.
At this time, the machine operating port opened, and a tray with a golden card on it was pushed out.
Su Qing picked up the card and took a look. There was a sun logo in the center of the front of the card, and a number 0 was engraved on the lower right corner. She picked up the card and swiped it on the machine, selected the item and quantity, and submitted it. After waiting for a few seconds, a tray was extended from the operating port, and on it was a bowl of hot rice.
The screen then showed that the meal had been served, 1 piece of rice, 0.1 new coupons, and the remaining amount was 99.9 new coupons.
How convenient! Su Qing picked up the rice and placed it on the table. She then opened the cooking page to see what other dishes she could make. However, since she didn't have a wide variety of seasonings in her backpack, she could only make some simple stir-fried vegetables.
She randomly ordered stir-fried spinach, made 10 servings, and priced it at 1 yuan per serving. She clicked to put it on the shelf, and then a plate of stir-fried spinach appeared on the second display stand in the showcase.
Su Qing had a general understanding of the restaurant's operations. She only needed to put the food on the page, and the restaurant display cabinets in the base would be synchronized. The system would prompt the restaurant's income and insufficient inventory.
Then she came to the store again and walked in. There were three vending machines against three walls. Then the system made a sound to remind her that she had unlocked the store icon.
Open the store icon. Only new products that have been refreshed by the system can be put on the shelves here. The prices are also set by Su Qing. She only needs to price the items in her backpack and put them on the shelves and enter the inventory. The machines here also use the magnetic card to swipe money.
Su Qing first put some things on the shelf, then returned to the restaurant, bought a plate of stir-fried spinach, had a simple dinner here, and then returned to the courtyard through the transmission channel.
When she got home, Fuguier was still asleep. She put some dog food in Fuguier's food and waited for him to wake up and eat it. Then she washed up and thought that she could go to Fang Qing's place early tomorrow, so she went to bed and fell asleep early.
