Chapter 632: She Has Connections
"The one wearing a red vest is a salesperson. But she's probably not in charge of this area. You can go ask her. I guess all the salespeople know each other."
Annan nodded, thanked him, and went to look for the man in the red vest.
The elder sister was very enthusiastic at first, but when she heard that she was looking for the salesperson who sold fighter planes in the self-operated area, her expression immediately became embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, the girl in charge of that area is not here at the moment. I don't know much about the business there..."
Annan said "Oh" and then asked, "When can she come back?"
The lady in the red vest hesitated for a moment: "I guess she won't be able to come back today. She...she has something to do at home, so she asked for leave."
Annan frowned slightly, but didn't make a fuss about it.
It's not too late to consult the salesperson tomorrow. She can't place an order today anyway.
This fighter requires one million points, which neither she nor Gu Zhiyu has in their cards, so they need to sell supplies and exchange them for points first.
The two of them only drove an armored vehicle here today, and its capacity was obviously not enough to carry the supplies that could be exchanged for one million points.
This is official territory. She certainly can't conjure up a large amount of supplies out of thin air. She must pass through the gate of the base and find a clear way.
So we had to leave the base first and then drive back with the truck loaded with supplies.
It's getting late now, and it's almost dusk. The supermarket is also about to close, so it's definitely too late today.
I can only come back tomorrow.
It's worth the extra effort for this fighter.
To be on the safe side, Annan asked the elder sister again: "Then she will definitely be here tomorrow, right?"
She planned to bring supplies to exchange for points early tomorrow morning, and then take down the fighter plane to avoid any more trouble.
Unexpectedly, the man in the red vest hesitated for a while and replied, "Tomorrow... I can't say for sure."
Annan frowned.
"So when will she be here? We are planning to go shopping."
The eldest sister looked embarrassed: "I don't know when she will be able to come back...it's hard to say."
Annan raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean by that?"
In this job, can they be absent from work at any time and anywhere?
The red vest lady looked around, sighed, and whispered to her:
"Girl, let me tell you the truth. The girl in this position has only been here a few times. Her family has some strong connections, which makes them different from us workers... you know."
Annan frowned: "What about the work in the self-operated area? Doesn't anyone usually look for her?"
The elder sister shook her head. “Few people buy the things in the self-operated area. The few that are sold are those that can be picked up directly, without the need for the salesperson to explain. For goods like fighter jets, no one has ever asked about them…”
Having said this, she looked at Annan and Gu Zhiyu with great curiosity:
"Are you really going to buy a helicopter? The one that costs a million points??"
Annan hummed, looking somewhat impatient.
The eldest sister saw her displeasure and did not ask any more questions. Instead, she offered some advice:
"Well, sister, you can come as usual tomorrow. If she is still not here, you can find our leader and let him help you with the transaction. He must understand the business there."
Annan thought about it and agreed. Tomorrow they will bring a lot of supplies. Recharging so many points at once will make him half a VIP, right?
Are you still worried that no one will solve your transaction problems by then?
So I nodded to my elder sister: "I understand. Thank you."
Afterwards, the two of them wandered around other areas on the second floor.
But she didn't see anything else she wanted to buy. They were just basic necessities, which she had in her space.
Finally, we went back to the official self-operated area.
Later, I found that besides the fighter plane, there was another useful thing. And it was in stock.
A super-powerful giant flashlight with 100,000 lumens.
When this oversized flashlight is turned on, it can illuminate the area with the same effect as 50 car headlights.
The introduction says: The dark night suddenly becomes as bright as day.
This is great! Maybe it will be useful when the eternal night comes.
Although they have no shortage of lighting, they don't have this kind of special flashlight that can illuminate a large area with super strong light outdoors.
Because electricity is difficult to use now, let alone this special flashlight, even in the homes of survivors, basically no one uses lights. So the price is very low, only one point is required.
There are ten of them here in total, and they can buy them all with the points in their cards.
There is nothing else I need. I will exchange my points tomorrow and then come back to buy fighter planes and jadeite.
So the two of them went downstairs directly. After paying for the flashlight, they also went to the registration office to get a detailed list of item points.
The above basically covers the unified pricing of various items.
For example, how many points can be exchanged for a pound of groceries, how many points can be exchanged for a winter coat. Most categories are clearly written.
They can take this list and go back to figure out how to redeem it, and then they can bring the same amount of supplies tomorrow.
These points cannot all be exchanged for food.
To take out 50 tons of food at once would require several trucks, which would be too conspicuous. The entire base would be in an uproar, and it might even cause riots or something.
Therefore, the two of them still need to go back and study this redemption category carefully.
the next day.
Gu Zhiyu drove a truck and Annan drove a Wuling car, and the two cars set off from the villa area together.
When they drove to an uninhabited area in the mountains, Annan transferred the supplies that had been ordered the night before from the space to two vehicles.
She had put anti-sight film on the van, but the food in the truck could be seen at a glance.
In order to avoid trouble on the road and chaos at the base, the two of them wrapped the back of the truck tightly with several large waterproof sheets.
At the same time, he also brought along the three little ones with super strong combat power.
When they arrived at the gate of the base, the two vehicles really shocked the guards who were inspecting the vehicles.
My brother was originally worried that they might bring a truckload of contraband into the base, but after inspection, he found so much food and supplies inside. He was surprised for a moment before quickly letting them pass.
The road in front of the supermarket was relatively narrow, so the car still did not drive in and just stopped at the intersection.
Annan got out of the car and went to the supermarket registration counter to find a staff member. Gu Zhiyu and the three children stayed behind to guard the two cars full of supplies.
As it was still early, there were not as many people at the registration office as yesterday, and there were only two or three people queuing at each window.
Annan randomly chose a window and stood behind it waiting.
Just as I stood firm, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind:
"Mom! It's that bad sister!"
