Jiang He also calculated, "It's not that expensive. You two have a total of 6,000 points."
Lei Xing was stunned. "It takes at least twelve hours to get to the Poor Earth Base from here. At 500 points per hour, shouldn't that be 12,000?"
Tang Yang, who was standing by, tugged at his brother's clothes, anxiously wanting to call him stupid.
The boss said it’s only 6,000, who would be so eager to double the price?
My brother, sometimes you don’t have to be so serious.
Wouldn’t it be nice to save half?
Jiang He raised the corner of his mouth and explained with a smile: "It takes you more than ten hours to drive, but it only takes me six hours."
Lei Xing and Tang Yang were from a city in the north. After the flood, they found a way to get a car, took the dry food they had stockpiled, and drove directly towards Qiongtu County.
Afterwards, due to extreme cold, extreme heat and insect plagues, they had to stop on the way and take refuge in a nearby base, which delayed them for four or five months.
I almost died on the road several times.
They know best how bad the road conditions are in the end times. Some sections of highways have been destroyed by natural disasters and are impassable, while others are man-made obstacles.
The car has not been driven far before you have to consider whether to take a detour.
Moreover, taking a detour does not necessarily guarantee smooth traffic.
Before the end of the world, it only took an hour to get there, but after all these twists and turns, it took half the time to get there.
Lei Xing was skeptical at first, but then he felt that Jiang He had no reason to lie to them.
The fare is calculated based on time, so the faster the car drives, the less she earns.
Why do you have to tell this lie to deceive people?
Want to earn fewer points?
The two were still on their way the day before yesterday, but the car suddenly broke down and could not be fixed after several hours of repair. After driving the car for four or five months, it was completely scrapped.
They were forced to seek refuge at the nearest Lanyun base.
They just found out yesterday about the gold, silver and jewelry that the residents had hoarded. Almost everything nearby had been searched, and they only picked up a small bag when they went out.
All the points were loaded into the card, and each person exchanged for 2,000 points.
It’s not even enough to pay the bus fare.
Lei Xing thought for a moment, then discussed with Tang Yang: "Let's buy some supplies first, then leave the base and go somewhere farther to earn more points."
Tang Yang had no objection at all, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
After making the decision, the two pushed the shopping cart and walked into the supermarket.
"Fuck, bro, there's medicine over there!"
Tang Yang ran over quickly, and when he saw the words "hemostatic powder", his eyes lit up instantly.
When they were out, they encountered many people who wanted to stop their car. Lei Xing was a tough guy and no one could get the upper hand from him, but if the other party had more people, they would always get hurt.
The two men only had dry food in their car and no medicine. When they were injured, they could only tear off a piece of cloth, bandage it simply, and then endure it.
Tang Yang sometimes worried that the two of them would lose too much blood and die on the road.
Fortunately, I have made it through these few months.
If nothing goes wrong, they will reach their destination tomorrow.
Lei Xing's body is not made of iron, but with his obsession to find his daughter, he has been holding on until now without collapsing.
After picking up some water, medicine and food, the two returned to the cashier counter.
Just as he was about to pay the bill, Lei Xing suddenly turned around and took two boxes of fried noodles from the small table at the door.
Tang Yang was a little surprised, "Brother, didn't you say that we should spend our points sparingly?"
"you're right."
After saying that, Lei Xing put a box of fried noodles back and said, "It's enough for me to eat alone, you can save your portion."
Tang Yang: ...
He didn't dare to say it, nor did he dare to ask.
Whether it was stockpiling dry food or looking for gold, silver, and jewelry, Lei Xing always put in the most effort. He...just eat less.
Who made him a weakling?
…
…
Fried noodles are cheap, and their only drawback is that they are not easy to preserve.
Otherwise, its popularity would definitely be comparable to that of bread.
Jiang He was open until around 9pm, and 200 servings of fried noodles were sold out, giving them 15 minutes to restock and unlock the old yogurt.
At 7:30 the next day, the system announced a new task:
Sell 200 pairs of sand-proof glasses for 88 points, get 15 minutes of restocking time, and unlock a food item.
Jiang He sat up in shock from his dying illness, and his sleepiness disappeared instantly.
The insect plague is really over!
According to the "sand-proof glasses", the next natural disaster is most likely to be... a sandstorm!
After going to the virtual supermarket to purchase goods, Jiang He drove to the base center to inform them of the news.
The base commander was so grateful that he even offered to give her ten buckets of honey.
"Boss Jiang, you've helped our base so much, please accept this!"
"Shuguang Supermarket really doesn't have the habit of accepting gifts. I don't need anything either. It would be great if you could keep this honey and exchange it for supplies."
Jiang He refused him for a while, then when the time was right, she quickly opened the car door and got in.
He started the car and fled from the center of the base.
Lei Xing and Tang Yang were not at the place where they were yesterday. When they found Shuguang Supermarket, they hurried to the gate of the base.
After asking the guard and confirming that the supermarket car had not left, Lei Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the pink RV coming, Tang Yang waved his hands desperately:
"Boss Jiang! We need a ride, Boss Jiang!"
Jiang He stopped the car, rolled down the window, and asked the two, "Have you prepared the fare?"
Tang Yang nodded repeatedly, "We picked up a lot of jewelry yesterday. I have nearly 10,000 points on my card now, which is definitely enough for the fare."
Jiang He took out the black box and asked them to prepay the fare of 6,000 points first, and refund them if they made more than the required amount.
Without saying anything, the two of them swiped their cards.
After receiving the points, Jiang He unlocked the car and let them sit in the back seat.
"We'll stop for lunch once on the way, and that time won't count towards your points. If you want to buy something to eat, you can just tell me."
"Okay, Jiang...Boss!"
As the car started, Tang Yang felt a strong push on his back. If he hadn't been wearing a seat belt, he would have flown out.
He turned around and whispered to Lei Xing beside him, "I finally understand why it only takes six hours for us to get to the Qiongtu Base.
Boss Jiang drives really hard, without slowing down at all."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang.
The two people in the back seat looked up at the same time.
There were countless pieces of garbage flying in the sky, including stones of various sizes, glass fragments and other dangerous items.
Tang Yang was stunned and asked three soul-searching questions: "Boss Jiang, what is your car made of? If it crashes like that, won't the front end be damaged? There's so much glass on the ground, won't the tire burst?"
Jiang He raised his eyebrows slightly, enjoying the thrill of racing.
"Supermarket cars are indeed made of special materials. What you are worried about will not happen."
There was a big turn ahead, and she raised her lips and reminded, "Both of you, make sure you hold on to the handrails the whole way."
