Judging purely from his experience in exploring urban ruins, Xu Qinghe is definitely an expert among experts.
Although Quancheng is not Qindao, the urban situation is actually similar. Whether it is the core area or the peripheral area, the types of zombies and mutant creatures living inside, as well as the dangerous environments, are very similar.
With the exploration experience Xu Qinghe had accumulated in the past few years on the edge of the core area of Qindao, as long as he was careful enough, then the safety of collecting some necessary supplies on the edge of the core area of Quancheng would definitely be guaranteed.
In addition, these ten days were determined entirely to provide cover for the completion of the subsequent collection mission. Apart from Xu Qinghe leading the team to find a suitable container, the team had nothing else to do.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Chen Yan was equivalent to getting a ten-day vacation in the wasteland space-time.
Without giving it much thought, he had a brief discussion with Qin Yourong, and with Qin Yourong stepping in to cover for him, Chen Yan decided to basically spend the next ten days in the space and time he was in.
However, in order to avoid any unexpected situations, Chen Yan and Qin Yourong agreed that they would come back at a fixed time every night and leave only after confirming that there were no problems.
If there is an emergency, it can be handled in a timely manner.
As for whether the rest of the team would have any questions about his long absence, Chen Yan was not worried at the moment.
Qin Yourong had already confessed to him the small group's attitude towards him.
As long as it is a secret that he feels uncomfortable to tell, the small group will ensure that they will not take the initiative to find out.
He speaks when he wants to speak, and doesn't speak when he doesn't want to speak. Although the people in the small group are with him day and night, they don't mind being blind and deaf in order to make him feel comfortable.
So after settling all the affairs in the wasteland time and space, Chen Yan left enough food and water for the team to last for ten days, and then returned to his own time and space.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, Chen Yan stretched himself feeling refreshed, took out his cell phone and called Liu Xiaolu.
The call was quickly connected, and Liu Xiaolu's voice sounded a little lazy from the receiver: "It's really rare. Why did you think of contacting me on your own initiative? Could it be that you've tasted the sweetness and want to torment me again?"
"Ahem, sister, what are you talking about? It's not just my lower body that misses you, my upper body misses you too. I'm telling you, we've almost finished all the rice, flour, meat, eggs, fruits and vegetables, so I need to get another batch from you. Don't forget to leave some for me."
"Finished eating again? So quickly? Xiao Chen, it seems you're doing a really big business. If I take good care of you, won't you have something to look forward to for the rest of your life?"
"Isn't this necessary? As long as I have a bite to eat, I won't let you go hungry."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Should we still prepare according to the previous amount?"
"Um...this time, let's prepare twice as much as last time."
"Double? Your business is growing rapidly."
"Hehe, this is nature, as fast as me."
"I've noticed you're really good at talking nonsense now. Every three sentences you make are full of dirty talk, right?"
"Well, it depends on whether you like it or not. If you like it, I have no problem with it. If you don't like it, I will pay attention to it next time."
"It's not about likes or dislikes, as long as you're happy. Okay, you've assigned me another task. I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go get some supplies for you. I really owed you something in my previous life. Not only am I yours, but I'll also work like a slave for you!"
Liu Xiaolu's tone sounded like she was complaining, but Chen Yan could clearly hear a hint of unconcealable happiness in it.
If it weren't for the influence of her previous failed marriage, Liu Xiaolu's demands for happiness would definitely not be so low.
After losing her virginity to him half actively and half passively, she had no demand for any status at all. It seemed that she was very satisfied as long as she could maintain the current ambiguous relationship with him.
The failed marriage was one of the reasons, and the age difference between the two was the second reason.
If it were just these two points, Liu Xiaolu's mentality wouldn't have changed so quickly.
But as his career developed over the past few days, Liu Xiaolu found that he was no longer in the embarrassing situation where he had difficulty paying the rent.
The fixed purchasing needs every month alone are enough to support the wholesale shop opened by Liu Xiaolu. The comprehensive reversal of status between the two obviously allowed Liu Xiaolu to complete the change of mentality without any psychological barriers.
Because most people in this world have a strong mentality!
After hanging up the phone with Liu Xiaolu, Chen Yan checked his mobile banking.
The balance on the account showed more than 250,000.
This is last month's royalties after they were deposited into the card. 'Hope', as he requested, has transferred the bulk of it to the company's account. The rest is left for his daily expenses.
In fact, it could have been more, but the royalties needed to be taxed in advance at a constant rate of 11.2%.
In other words, if the manuscript fee is 2 million, then 224,000 yuan in taxes must be prepaid.
This is not the final tax amount.
When the annual reconciliation for the previous year is calculated next year, if the annual income from royalties exceeds one million, in addition to the taxes already paid in advance, the remaining unpaid taxes must be paid based on the total income.
Of course, if the annual income from royalties is less than one million, then part of the taxes paid in advance in the previous year can be refunded.
However, Chen Yan didn't care about this. The tax payment would be next year's matter. Judging from the company's current development situation, he wouldn't care about the tax payment by next year.
After transferring the payment to Liu Xiaolu via mobile banking, Chen Yan took his keys and went out, ready to visit the company.
As the awakening level of the small group continues to increase, the demand for food is also increasing.
From then on, Liu Xiaolu relied on the terrifying appetite of the people in her small group. Even if the business of other individual customers was bleak, it would definitely not affect her prosperous business.
Talking about becoming rich and powerful is definitely nonsense, but there is nothing wrong with being content with a small fortune.
Based on Chen Yan's understanding of Liu Xiaolu, if she really became rich and powerful, Liu Xiaolu might not be able to get used to it.
The most suitable living condition for Liu Xiaolu is to have some money, not worry about food, clothing and other expenses, and live a relatively bourgeois life, but not too much money.
Because the desires brought by money are often endless.
In the face of endless desires, what awaits you is never happiness, but bottomless pain and abyss.
