Chapter 077 Zombie Apocalypse 15
Xie Yunsui fed Lu Xizhou as usual, but he changed from feeding him aimlessly to feeding him precisely.
Although Xie Yunsui has doubts about Xiaoxi's human identity, Xiaoxi still has human consciousness and can draw various cute little expressions on small pieces of paper. Therefore, Xie Yunsui regards him as a human for the time being.
It’s just that the three meals a day have become the same as what he made in the deserted island world.
Exquisite smoked meat, boiled river fish, pheasant stewed with mushrooms, rabbit stewed with bamboo shoots, and mushroom and bamboo shoot vegetarian soup are reprocessed into large dishes and paired with fruits such as apples, mangoes, blueberries, and durian for lunch and dinner.
Breakfast consists of a variety of steamed buns and toast, served with double berry jam.
In addition, there are various snacks to satisfy your cravings.
The more times he fed the baby, the more Xie Yunsui noticed that Xiaoxi's vigilance towards him was gradually decreasing.
Although every communication was done through small notes, as the number of feedings increased, the communication through the small notes became smoother.
Lu Xizhou sometimes talks about the "trouble" of not having water, electricity, and internet.
Xie Yunsui then realized that Lu Xizhou had no idea that the end of the world had come outside.
He began to reveal the situation in the outside world intentionally or unintentionally, such as complaining to Xiaoxi that the Venus flytraps and pitcher plants outside were too unfriendly to humans and often attacked and bit him.
I don’t know what Xiaoxi said to the alien plant, or what she did, but after she complained, Xie Yunsui would not be eaten even if she jumped into the leaves of the Venus flytrap to dance.
I don't know why, but there are more Venus flytraps near convenience stores.
There was a sense of surveillance and watching him.
Sometimes Xie Yunsui would "complain" in a small note, saying that the road here today was difficult to walk on, and then the next day a wide path would appear between the convenience store and the apartment building.
Xie Yunsui would occasionally talk about the situation at the convenience store, trying to get Xiaoxi, who stayed at home, to go out and take a look.
Of course, Xiaoxi was more of a homebody than he had imagined, and refused to go out at all costs.
When Xie Yunsui attacked Xiaoxi, space gourds became popular in the four major bases.
Ever since Xie Yunsui fed Lu Xizhou energy-rich food, the alien plants that had originally stopped spreading outward began to expand their territory again.
One day, Xie Yunsui made a mistake and used the super luxurious version of pheasant stewed with mushrooms that was added with ginseng essence. Lu Xizhou ate too much that day.
Seeing that half of the food was left, Lu Xizhou decided to digest it first before coming back to eat.
There was almost no place to digest food at home. Lu Xizhou took a walk in the living room and then went to the study to read comics for more than an hour, but he still felt full.
Since he couldn't digest the food sitting there, he went to the small balcony to talk to his two pots of plants.
While speaking, he touched the grass with his hands to comfort it, hoping that they would grow quickly and grow more.
After talking for a while, Lu Xizhou had digested a lot. He continued eating and would talk again when he was full.
The next day, people from the four major bases discovered that the alien plants had expanded their territory by fifty meters overnight, and had grown taller and thicker.
Rumors of some terrifying alien plants dominating City C are spreading. The leaders of the major bases can no longer sit idly by and have sent people to clean up the alien plants.
However, the appropriate time for cleanup has long passed.
West District Base.
Liang Hongyu was still asking people to find materials for making bombs, but all the places in the North District where materials could be found had already been cleared out. If they wanted to continue making bombs, they would have to exchange or purchase materials from other bases.
Unfortunately, this is not easy.
"Boss, are we just giving up like this?"
Liang Hongyu was furious: "What else can I do if I don't give up? That day, Xie not only cleared out the materials, but also the machines used to make them. Even if I spend a lot of effort to exchange them for the materials, what will happen to the machines?"
Lin Qi, the sole maker of the bomb: "..."
Liang Hongyu said, "Let's organize a few teams of psychics to clean up the alien plants. There has been no source of crystal cores for the past few days. The base will compensate each person with 200 crystal cores per day."
Every time the psychic team goes out to clear out zombies, each person gets about two hundred crystal cores a day, and they also have to pay a portion of the "tax" to the base, so they actually get less than two hundred.
As soon as these words were spoken, many people with special abilities signed up to the base.
Wu Feng was among them.
The people who formed a temporary team with him were all acquaintances, and they had spent a thousand to buy a space gourd from his sister Wu Xuan.
For Wu Feng, these gourds were bought under a buy-one-get-one-free promotion. The cost price was 500 crystal cores, and Wu Xuan sold them at the original price of 1,000. Even if these people go to a convenience store in the future and see space gourds for sale, they will not feel that they have taken advantage.
And this time, their family made a net profit of 10,000 crystal cores!
In addition, Wu Xuan also sold the apples at a slightly higher price.
The benefits of apples can be felt by anyone who has eaten them. Wu Xuan's target customers are those who have bought and eaten apples from Xie Yunsui before.
The original price of apples was 100 yuan each, but these people only bought one or two to satisfy their hunger. After eating them and realizing their benefits, they regretted not buying enough. When they wanted to buy more, they couldn't find anyone, so they couldn't buy them even if they wanted to.
Wu Xuan raised the price at this time. As long as it was within everyone's acceptable range, everyone was willing to buy it in order to improve their abilities.
After all, zombie crystal cores can obtain less energy, and there are too few crystal cores with the same properties, so they are in short supply.
Wu Xuan bought more than 30 apples. She left the remaining portion to her brother and sold the rest, making a net profit of more than 1,000 crystal cores.
They didn't dare to spend these crystal cores carelessly, and planned to use them all to buy apples when Wu Feng went to the convenience store again.
Apple is so useful that these crystal cores must be spent on the cutting edge.
At the beginning, because apples were too expensive, many people felt that they were not worth it and not many people bought them, so the wonderful uses of apples were not widely publicized.
Everyone in Wu Feng's team knew how to hide their abilities. Even though a few second-level psychics had eaten apples and reached the third level, they still pretended to be second-level because they were worried that their leader was still a third-level psychic.
When they were clearing out the alien plants, they also chose a separate street and did not gather with other people.
The advantage of being one and the same is that they can have fun when they take action. They are all people with special abilities, and their abilities are different from each other, but the difference is not too big, so they can cooperate better.
So they cleaned up pretty quickly.
The gap with other teams is highlighted.
Other teams worked desperately to cut two Venus flytraps a day, but they worked eight hours a day, and used the remaining time to eat, drink, and take turns sleeping to replenish their energy. They also cut four or five Venus flytraps, and their mental state was better than others.
Liang Hongyu was puzzled: "Is someone slacking off?"
Other teams: "..."
They didn't know how long Wu Feng's team worked, and thought they cleaned up overnight, so they rolled their eyes.
Everyone gets a basic salary of 200 crystal cores, what are you doing?
Seeing that their team was still so efficient after delaying as much as possible, Wu Feng and others secretly complained and simply revealed that they had a space gourd.
Anyway, everyone has bound the space gourd and activated the anti-theft mark, so it won’t be stolen or robbed even if you tell others about it.
When Liang Hongyu heard that each of them had a cubic space, he fell silent.
The only space ability user in the base fell silent when he heard this: He was so shocked that he woke up to find that his position had been taken away by a gourd.
"Gourd, where did it come from?" Liang Hongyu asked.
Wu Feng said, "A convenience store in the Central District. I...got the information from a friend at the East District base. He also helped me buy it."
A convenience store in the Central District? Liang Hongyu paused, finally remembering that when he first met Xie Yunsui, he said he opened a convenience store in the Central District.
Afterwards, Liang Hongyu was beaten up and was so angry when he woke up that he completely forgot what he had said.
So the reason why Xie Yunsui couldn’t be found for such a long time was because he had been staying in the central area?
Central District...
Liang Hongyu lowered his eyes and came back to his senses, noticing another key word: "Friend?"
"My former classmate, Ji Tianyuan, was a fire-type mutant. He was very powerful and could travel through the alien plant area on his own."
Wu Feng was not afraid of revealing Ji Tianyuan's information. First of all, Ji Tianyuan was from the East District and was quite famous. The East and West Districts were separated by the Central District. Even if Liang Hongyu wanted to find someone, he had to consider the geographical factor of the Central District.
Secondly, Ji Tianyuan is a fire-type mutant, which is also a strong attack-type mutant. Even if Liang Hongyu wants to take action, he will first consider whether it is worth it.
East District Base.
Ji Tianyuan only discovered these days that he seemed to be the only one capable of traveling through the alien plant area alone.
He had taken people to the convenience store several times, and some people had followed him there several times. Take Cao Ming for example, he had followed him along the same route, back and forth at least ten times in total, but he was unable to make the journey alone.
After the expansion of the alien plant area, the original route increased in distance, making it even more impossible for Cao Ming to walk.
After Ji Tianyuan explored it once, he was able to come and go freely again.
Ji Tianyuan: “…”
I never realized I had such a talent.
Cao Ming slapped his forehead and said, "Brother, if we have this ability, why should we clean up zombies? Let's do the purchasing business!"
Ji Tianyuan: "...I am at least a third-level fire-type mutant!"
That's right, he ate a few apples and has leveled up.
At least he can now be considered an attack-type psychic at the same level as the leaders of the major bases!
Is it appropriate to go shopping for it?
Cao Ming said with a dull expression: "You have to go there every now and then anyway. You have the gourd, so it's not difficult to buy some things for you."
The other two teammates nodded frequently: "That's right, make more money. Eating chili sauce every day is not tasty enough. Sooner or later, we can eat that boiled fish."
Ji Tianyuan licked his lips and said, "Okay, I'll be in charge of the shopping. You guys go figure out what to buy."
After purchasing on behalf of others two or three times and bringing back a large amount of supplies each time, some people became suspicious and learned about the existence of the space gourd after a little inquiry.
In addition, the people who had bought the space gourd at the convenience store before did not hide it, but instead sold it at double the price in the base. Many people in the base were uneasy and begged Ji Tianyuan to help them buy the gourd.
For a gourd that originally costs 1,000 yuan, they can give a running fee of two or three hundred yuan.
Ji Tianyuan can make a lot of money just by making a trip to purchase gourds, more than he can make by working hard to go out and clear out zombies.
South District Base.
Hao Qing and Shen Yiyi exchanged two packets of seeds for a small bungalow to live in from the leader.
The living space is not big, but they don't dare to live separately, so a smaller one is enough.
He exchanged the remaining packet of seeds with other wood-type ability users for some daily necessities, and settled down in the South District base.
The customs of the people in the South District are very different from those in other bases. Fifty percent of the people here are wood-type people, who stay at home and farm all day long, and thirty percent are water-type people, who can make a good living by selling water resources.
Only 20% of people with other attributes will lead teams to go out and clear out the zombies.
Hao Qing and the other person arrived later and did not catch up with the team with people with super powers, so their entire team is made up of ordinary people.
In a base like this, most people with special abilities stay at home, while ordinary people go out, so it is naturally more difficult than in other bases.
Hao Qing and Shen Yiyi wanted to earn more crystal cores to support themselves, so they spared no effort. The more work they did, the more hungry they became, so they had to stop to eat and drink water to replenish their energy.
Although they only ate the simplest steamed buns and purified water, someone still noticed something was wrong.
"Where do you get your steamed buns?"
"Why are there so many steamed buns and water in your bags?"
"What is this gourd?"
When fighting, I don't always pay attention to hiding the gourd, so it always flies out of my collar accidentally.
The gourd was bound to prevent theft, so those who wanted to take it and have a look at it retracted their hands as if they had been electrocuted.
Hao Qing and Shen Yiyi felt much more relaxed.
After spending a few days together, everyone no longer had any hostility towards them and would help them when possible, so they told them about the convenience store in the central area.
"Boss Xie is a handsome and kind man. He sent us here before. We also bought this gourd from him. It's a space gourd with one cubic meter of space inside..."
The eyes of the people around looked at Hulu with enthusiasm.
