After sending off another wave of survivors who inquired about joining the base, He Zhuo leaned back exaggeratedly, slumped in his chair, and let out a long sigh.
"I'm almost worn out from talking so much... Thankfully, our flyers clearly say 'Purchase Limit Per Person'. Otherwise, with the situation this morning, I have a feeling all our supplies would be gone in one morning!"
Gu Wan: "Yes, purchase restrictions are wise. But Nan Nan..."
She turned to Lu Nange, her tone tinged with worry: "Even with purchase restrictions, at today's consumption rate, the supplies we got from that logistics park probably won't last long, right?"
Lu Nange: "Based on this morning's trend, we shouldn't have any problem holding on for a month. But the variety of supplies will definitely decrease, and the options will become less available."
He Zhuo gulped down half a bottle of water and wiped his mouth: "Hey! These days, it's good enough to have something. Why are you so picky!"
Gu Qi: "People from Panshi, Fengren, Chenxi, Xingmang, and Zefeng have all come to inquire about large-scale purchases. Now only Longteng has no visitors!"
Chi Yanzhou: "What is meant to come will eventually come."
By eleven o'clock, the market was already packed with people.
Zhang Ao and his team firmly guarded the entrance and began to implement flow control measures, making those who came later wait outside the door and letting them in batches.
The flyers distributed outside the gate and in front of the store clearly state the opening hours in eye-catching fonts: 9:00-12:00 in the morning and 2:00-4:00 in the afternoon.
When the clock struck 11:50, He Zhuo grabbed the loudspeaker and shouted, "Attention! Last ten minutes! The market will close in ten minutes! Survivors who didn't buy anything, don't panic. We'll open at two in the afternoon!"
The crowd became agitated again.
Complaints, urgings, and anxious inquiries intertwined together, and the pressure suddenly rose.
He Zhuo frowned. "What are you arguing about? Be quiet! Rules are rules! If you continue to make noise and disrupt order, we'll close the city permanently! Don't replace anyone!"
The four words "permanent closure of the city" have absolute magic.
The boiling scene was instantly suppressed by force, and everyone seemed to be strangled by the neck, and everyone fell silent in an instant.
The team moved silently and accelerated, and everyone completed the final transaction as quickly as possible.
Outside the gate, Zhang Ao resolutely refused to let anyone in, and loudly explained the afternoon market opening time to the crowd waiting outside the door to calm their emotions.
A few hours after ten o'clock, the last group of survivors left with the supplies they had exchanged.
With a loud "clang", the door slowly closed and locked, and the morning's noise was finally completely isolated from the outside.
The market suddenly became quiet, leaving only the beams of sunlight and the mixed smell of human gatherings that still lingered in the air.
Chi Yanzhou: "Thank you all for your hard work! Chi Qi, take them back to the base cafeteria for dinner! Gather here at 1:50 pm and get ready to open the market!"
"Yes!" Chi Qi responded, turned around and shouted to the staff who had been busy all morning: "Everyone! Gather and follow me!"
......
The moment the Flame Heart Gate closed, the survivors outside no longer stayed and got back into various modified vehicles.
The roar of engines rang out one after another, stirring up a cloud of dust as they sped away...
Almost at the same time as the gate of the Flame Heart was closed, about one kilometer away from the market, on the top floor of an abandoned high-rise building, several figures quietly put down their high-powered binoculars.
"Old Fu and the others are heading to the meeting point..."
"Let's go, let's go too, don't keep the boss waiting anxiously."
Several people moved quickly and disappeared into the shadows at the stairs.
