Chapter 068 Zombie Apocalypse 6
"Yiyi, grab my clothes!"
Hao Qing lay on the ground and shouted at the girls in the pig cage underground, but no matter how she shouted, the girls below did not respond to her.
“Yiyi!”
Hao Qing was anxious and crawled forward. Just as she was about to touch the ring of the insect trap, she suddenly heard a man's voice behind her: "Be careful, the ring is very slippery."
Hao Qing shuddered violently, looking back vigilantly in a defensive posture.
Xie Yunsui smiled gently and said, "I came here because I heard someone calling for help."
Hao Qing's eyes were firm: "We have nothing to give you..."
Xie Yunsui interrupted her, "The digestive fluids in the insect trap are highly corrosive. Say two more words and your friend will be one step closer to death."
Hao Qing hurriedly asked, "Can you save her? I'll do anything you ask me to do!"
Xie Yunsui glanced at the ground and saw that her friend was almost completely submerged in digestive fluid. Even if she wasn't corroded, she would be suffocated.
The pitcher plants here actually grow in the soil. The pitcher mouth is almost level with the ground, and the lid has evolved into the same gray color as the ground next to it. People who don't pay attention can easily drop the pitcher.
Without time to think, Xie Yunsui instructed the girl to stand in a relatively safe position, cut off the stems and leaves connecting the insect trap with a sword, and put the entire insect trap into Xiaowan's warehouse the next second.
Xiao Wan did not accept intelligent creatures, so the girl in the digestive fluid was left in the pit.
Since Xiao Wan threw her out, it means the girl is still alive.
Xie Yunsui threw a bottle of recovery potion to Hao Qing: "Feed her."
Hao Qing hurriedly caught the potion bottle. It looked like a witch's potion in a fairy tale. She didn't know what it was used for, but she didn't want to find out any more and just jumped into the pit.
"Yiyi!" Hao Qing couldn't believe it. The girl who had just escaped with her had been corroded to every good part of her body in less than two minutes after falling into the insect trap.
She almost wiped the mucus from Shen Yiyi's mouth and nose with trembling hands, but a trace of blood appeared every time she wiped it. She hurriedly pulled out the stopper from the medicine bottle and poured it into her mouth.
Xie Yunsui has found three underground insect traps. It must be said that the color of the cage lids can change dramatically, even a dead leaf can be imitated vividly.
The cage covers on the ground secrete a sweet honey aroma to attract people and other creatures, while the cage covers underground have extraordinary color-changing and regeneration abilities, turning this green forest into an uninhabited area.
But fortunately, like the Venus flytrap, they are all a little dull.
Xie Yunsui cut off the lid of a pitcher plant and tried to put it next to his foot. The lid suddenly changed color, and the place where it was connected to the shoe turned black, imitating the pattern on the edge of the shoe.
It's a good material.
Just then, a new leaf had grown on the insect trap. Xie Yunsui cut one leaf after another and collected them in case they were useful in the future.
"Hello... Thank you for saving us..."
The faint voices of two girls came from behind him. Xie Yunsui had played with the insect trap enough and stood up and looked back.
Hao Qing swallowed and said, "Excuse me, do you still have that potion? I can trade it with you for the crystal core."
Shen Yiyi was very weak, but still stopped him: “Don’t…stay…let me rest…”
Hao Qing understood what she meant. She thought that since they were awake, they just needed to rest more. They had to keep the crystal cores in their hands to exchange for food and water to survive.
However, Hao Qing had other ideas: "Yiyi, we can't keep these crystal cores even if we put them in our hands. Don't forget... you are still looking for us. You have to recover first before we can think of anything else."
Shen Yiyi looked at her, her best friend who had gotten along very well with her since school days, and she knew what the other person was thinking with just one look.
Shen Yiyi thought that she was in this situation and was ready to go first. She wanted to keep those crystal cores for Hao Qing.
But Hao Qing was unwilling to give up and would rather exchange these crystal cores for Shen Yiyi's health.
It's more important that both of them are alive.
Even if there is no food and water behind, it is not impossible to walk together.
Anyway, I have worked hard for a year.
In the end, Shen Yiyi couldn't resist Hao Qing and finally decided to change the potion.
Hao Qing took off the vest she was wearing inside out, which had many pockets on it.
She took out two packets of crystal cores from one of them: "Are these enough?"
After Xie Yunsui and the other two had discussed it, they scanned the energy of the crystal cores and roughly calculated that there were only a hundred of them, and there were still many such energy balls on Hao Qing's body.
Shen Yiyi's clothes were corroded and torn, but three energy balls could still be seen under the clothes on her chest and back.
Xie Yunsui laughed: "One bottle of potion contains one hundred zombie crystal cores. These are counted as part of the previous bottle of potion."
Hao Qing took out two more packs in front of him and said, "Another bottle."
"Sure, but I don't have it with me. It's in my store." Xie Yunsui said friendly, "I opened a convenience store here. It's not far ahead."
"convenience store?"
Because of this incident, Xie Yunsui temporarily put his plan to go out and explore, and took the two girls to the store.
And Hao Qing thought it over again and again, and finally supported Shen Yiyi and followed.
Human nature is untrustworthy in the end times, but Xie Yunsui saved Shen Yiyi's life as soon as they met, so Hao Qing was willing to give him more trust.
If this man really had other intentions, she would not let him succeed even if she took Yiyi to feed the green cage.
However, after avoiding the underground pitcher plants without any injury along the way, and not seeing any other actions from Xie Yunsui, and actually seeing the intact convenience store, and the purified water and hand-torn bread on the shelves, Hao Qing's remaining doubts were dispelled.
"Are you selling water and bread too?" Hao Qing asked hurriedly.
"Sell it! The price is on the shelf." Xie Yunsui walked behind the cashier and pretended to take a bottle of potion from under the counter. "We only accept gold, silver, jewelry, and crystal cores as currency."
Hao Qing first bought the bottle of medicine and fed it to Shen Yiyi.
Shen Yiyi couldn’t walk, so she leaned against the door and slowly recovered her strength.
Hao Qing took a look at the shelves, bracing herself for the exorbitant prices the store owner would demand in the face of a doomsday shortage of resources. But when she saw the price tag—just two crystal cores for a 500ml bottle of purified water, and five crystal cores for a bag of hand-torn bread—she couldn't help but exclaim, "That's so cheap!"
Shen Yiyi looked at her and saw Hao Qing immediately took two bottles of water and two packs of bread to the cashier to pay. She looked as if someone was trying to snatch them from her.
Xie Yunsui earned a small amount of energy.
After watching the two girls share the bread and water and rest enough, and just as they were about to leave, he tentatively asked, "Do you two have anywhere to go?"
Hao Qing and Shen Yiyi both stopped.
-
At noon, when Ji Tianyuan brought his brothers' crystal cores back to the convenience store, he found that the owner was not inside, but there were two girls there.
A girl with a sweet face but pale complexion was sitting behind the cashier, writing something at the desk.
Another girl, who looked very heroic, was filling the shelves.
Seeing someone coming, the girl behind the cashier looked up and raised her voice: "Welcome."
Ji Tianyuan walked in hesitantly: "The boss is not here?"
Just as Shen Yiyi was about to speak, Hao Qing came out from behind the shelf and said, “He’s busy, do you want to buy anything?”
Hao Qing originally thought that the convenience store here would have no business except for people like them who accidentally walked in, but she didn't expect that there would be customers so soon.
But he seems to be the boss's regular customer.
However, Hao Qing was very cautious and did not reveal the fact that Xie Yunsui was not in the store. She was ambiguous and changed her statement to another one.
Ji Tianyuan was also very cautious: "Who are you? I have never seen you before."
Hao Qing said, "We are newly hired shop assistants. I am responsible for stocking the goods, and she is in charge of the cashier."
Ji Tianyuan: “…”
You should have told me earlier that we were short of cashiers and stockers!
It was clearly not there when the brothers left in the morning.
However, seeing that the two girls were both good-looking, Ji Tianyuan thought that the shop owner had other intentions and did not say anything else.
At this time, the four shelves in the store were almost full of items. On the wall near the entrance were the necessities of life, including purified water, bottled milk, hand-torn bread, white steamed buns and instant noodles.
The prices here are mostly low, and you can buy 2-10 crystal cores.
The other three shelves are filled with a variety of things.
One shelf is filled with food, such as candy, chocolate, instant hot pot, puffed food, pickled mustard greens, ham, canned meat, apples, lemons...
Including the chili sauce that Ji Tianyuan needs.
All the products above, without any excess, directly increased to 100 zombie crystal cores.
Ji Tianyuan clicked his tongue and looked at the next shelf.
Daily necessities such as clothes, shoes, socks, soap, toilet paper, small charcoal stove, candles, lighters, warm items, etc. are placed on it.
The price ranges from 100 to 300.
The last shelf is filled with medical supplies and weapons.
Anti-inflammatory drugs, hemostatic drugs, analgesics, gastrointestinal drugs, bandages...
Baseball bats, crowbars, daggers, machetes...
This is more of a grocery store than a convenience store.
Xie Yunsui had no choice but to adjust the distribution of supplies in the store, considering the current social environment, to ensure that the customers who could enter the store were alive and continued to be alive.
Xie Yunsui secretly cursed Xiao Wan again.
If it hadn't forcibly bound this store, Xie Yunsui would have guaranteed to open the store in the world's largest base.
He handed the store over to two newly hired clerks, left Youyou and Little Bee to look after the store, and continued to go out exploring.
Walking through the green forest, there is no popularity at all.
Xie Yunsui found a lot of bone remains in the underground insect traps near the outer circle, and he didn't know whether they were from zombies or humans.
After passing a collapsed and damaged building, Xie Yunsui finally saw traces of zombies again.
Wandering on the streets, crowded inside houses, dangling from high-rise security windows...
Just as Xie Yunsui was about to take action, he heard the sound of a car driving in the distance.
He looked around and found a store without zombies to take shelter in.
The off-road vehicle knocked down zombies along the way and stopped directly at the outer circle of the pitcher plant area.
"Brother Liang, these mutant creatures have expanded outwards by about ten meters."
"Fuck! If this keeps up, the entire City C will be swallowed up sooner or later!"
The man called Brother Liang sat in the driver's seat, looking coldly at the green in front of him.
"That coward Lang Hao from the East District has refused to form an alliance despite repeated requests, always using the excuse of not having enough manpower."
"Xiang Ziming and his two brothers in the South District are busy farming all day long. They don't even think about what to do when these mutant plants grow in their homes."
"The most damning person is Zou Yao. He occupies the largest territory, and all he thinks about all the time is women. He must have a brain full of idiots! It seems that only our West District is afraid of him!"
"That's enough."
Liang Hongyu whispered to stop the people from complaining.
"They just want to sit back and reap the benefits. No one is stupid."
In terms of strength, their four bases are about the same.
In order to deal with these mutated creatures, only those with special abilities can cooperate; ordinary people cannot do anything about it.
If you want to take over the central zone, you have to make some sacrifices.
Whoever's psychic is exhausted first and their strength is sharply reduced will likely be targeted by the two neighboring districts.
It's a very simple truth.
"Since they don't dare to do it, don't blame me for being immoral."
Liang Hongyu said directly: "Send someone to call Lin Qi over, bring his homemade bombs, and detonate the central area directly."
Xie Yunsui, who was eavesdropping in the corner:?
Detonate?
My goodness, this guy made the decision on his own without even going in to see if there was anyone inside?
