Chapter 078 Zombie Apocalypse 16
By the time the news reached Xiang Ziming, nearly a thousand people in the entire base had heard of this space gourd.
Xiao Xingjin sat aside, writing something down with a pen and paper, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xiang Ziming observed the plants sprouting in the planting box and replied, "How many people want this spatial gourd now?"
"There are quite a lot. The gourd really exists. Even if there is only one cubic meter of space, there are countless people who want it."
"No wonder the number of teams reporting to go out and clear out zombies has increased in the past two days."
Xiang Ziming asked again: "Can you take that gourd and have a look at it?"
"No, I heard that the gourd can be bound to a person, and no one else can even touch it. If you do, it's like getting an electric shock."
Xiang Ziming understood: "So you came to see me because you want me to go to the Central District?"
There weren't many belligerents in their southern base, so for such a long time, only Xiang Ziming had reached the third level.
The central area is so dangerous, it would be best to have someone with higher levels of supernatural powers to lead the team.
Although Xiang Ziming's combat skills are not very high.
The reason why he was able to occupy such a large piece of fertile land and establish a base was due to the fact that he won the hearts of the people early on.
Xiang Ziming is tall and strong, and looks very safe, so some people who don't know why just follow him. In the early days, survival was not so difficult, and everyone faced the zombies equally, so it was easy to develop feelings. Later, even though they knew that Xiang Ziming's fighting skills were not good, they got used to him being the leader.
Xiao Xingjin had been following Xiang Ziming's team for a long time and knew that Xiang Ziming lacked leadership ability. However, he had a good image (strong and powerful) and great abilities, so it was impossible to promote someone who was better than him to be a leader in a short period of time. So they just foolishly promoted him to be a leadership mascot.
In reality, Xiao Xingjin oversaw all matters within the vast base, reporting directly to Xiang Ziming. Xiao Xingjin possessed considerable management expertise and years of experience, but he had been unlucky and unable to awaken his special abilities. He assisted Xiang Ziming with minor matters within the base, while generally leaving the larger decisions to Xiang Ziming.
Things like the space gourd are not trivial matters.
Xiao Xingjin said, "Hao Qing and Shen Yiyi are from the Central District. They said they worked as clerks at a convenience store in the Central District for a week. One of them was from the East District and walked through the Exotic Plant District to shop there almost every day."
"Before they left, another person from the West District bought the space gourd."
"That is to say, besides us, at least two bases know about the space gourd."
There was no need to say what Xiao Xingjin was worried about, Xiang Ziming understood it.
No one knows how many space gourds there are. What if there is a limit? If they are slow to act, what if they are all snatched away by other bases?
One cubic meter may sound small, but it can hold a lot of life-saving items.
What's more, this is not an awakening that is left to fate, but a good thing that can be bought as long as you work hard and earn a thousand crystal cores.
Others have it, but you don’t. Do you feel bad?
There are many people who are not favored by the world, have no superpowers, and struggle to survive every day. Now they have this plug-in that is equivalent to the superpower of half a space. How can they not be jealous?
Xiang Ziming knew that he could take his time to find the third-level space ability person who had been so kind as to sell supplies, but he had to get this space gourd as soon as possible.
The trip to the Central District was a must.
Xiao Xingjin said, "It's actually not that difficult. Didn't Hao Qing and the others know the man from the East District? We can take a detour and go in with him without being discovered by the East District leaders."
Xiang Ziming didn't hesitate too much and said, "Okay, you arrange a team."
He just wanted to go and see what the convenience store that dared to open in the central district looked like.
Hao Qing and Shen Yiyi had no objection to this "business trip", but they didn't need both of them to go, so this time only Hao Qing was assigned to the temporary team.
In this team, Xiang Ziming, as the only third-level psychic, naturally led the team. Except for Hao Qing, the remaining three people were psychics, two of whom were attack-type psychics, and one was a water-type psychic.
Hao Qing doesn't have any special powers, but she has a space gourd, which makes her half a space power user. She packed a few days' worth of food, bandages and weapons for everyone.
Xiang Ziming trusted his subordinates and stored most of the crystal cores he would need for this trip with her.
Hao Qing was even surprised herself: "This...how about we share it with everyone?"
Xiang Ziming said: "I'll leave it all to you. If something happens, we can go into battle with peace of mind. As long as we protect you, we won't lose too much."
Hao Qing suddenly felt a heavy sense of mission.
Captain Xiang trusts me so much, I must protect the crystal core and food well!
Xiao Xingjin was arranging an off-road vehicle on the side. Hearing this, he glanced at Xiang Ziming inconspicuously.
If he didn't know that Captain Xiang only had eyes for crops and wanted to take a pot of vegetable seedlings with him on the business trip, he would have thought that this guy was flirting.
But he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and when he speaks, he speaks with sincerity, which makes it easy for people to believe him.
Perhaps this is why he has so many followers.
-
The convenience store had a new look, and merchandise such as clothes and baseball bats were collected by Xie Yunsui.
There are still the original four shelves. Rice and noodles have been added to the staple food shelf, and a lot of high-calorie foods have been added to the snack area. The vacated shelf is used to store the recently popular apples. The last one is still the daily necessities area, but medicines and weapons have also been merged into it.
The contents on the shelves mainly serve the purpose of displaying goods, so there is no need to fill them up.
The cashier area was expanded, and Xie Yunsui placed an electric cooker here, in which he cooked tea-soaked bird eggs.
Bird eggs are from the deserted island world. The energy contained in a bird egg is twice that of an apple.
This bird's egg is not big. After cooking, you can give it to Xiaoxi as a snack.
Thinking of this, Xie Yunsui turned off the power supply that replenished the energy and let the bird eggs simmer for a while to absorb the flavor.
I looked at the time and there were still two hours before it was time to deliver dinner to Xiaoxi.
Okay, Xie Yunsui calmed down, took out a small gourd from the space, and began to draw the formation.
Space gourds have been selling like hot cakes recently, but he doesn't have much in stock. He just made three thousand in the last world.
However, he looked at the warehouse and found that there were not many magic crystals left. Excluding those he had other uses for, the remaining ones could only make another 8,000 small gourds at most.
"Thank you, boss. Good afternoon."
A familiar voice came from the door, and Xie Yunsui was already used to it.
He looked up and found a group of people following him.
His eyes swept over the four psychics, then landed on his old acquaintance, Hao Qing. Xie Yunsui smiled faintly and said, "It seems you're doing well."
Hao Qing was protected by everyone and was not seriously injured. Upon hearing this, she smiled back and said, "I'm here to bring business to Boss Xie."
As he spoke, Xiang Ziming also looked at the shop owner.
It goes without saying that the boss is handsome, but the key is that he is very clean from head to toe, so his quality of life must be extraordinary.
Especially the light grey cotton and linen clothes. This style gets dirty and wrinkled easily, but on him, there are no flaws in the clothes.
To be honest, even Zou Yao, the most indulgent person in the North District, doesn't dare to dress like this.
Ji Tianyuan was a regular customer, so without much greeting, he went straight into the store and started shopping: "Ten gourds, twenty apples, two bags of rice, and two bottles of canned yellow peaches."
Xiang Ziming then turned his gaze to the convenience store and saw two rows of seed packets on the shelves.
Xiang Ziming:!!!
What a good thing!
In addition to him, the three psychics also widened their eyes when they saw the things in the convenience store.
No one said there are so many foods in convenience stores!
Aren’t there just instant noodles and biscuits that are about to expire?
They had initially dismissed the opening of a convenience store in the central district, but who would be fooled by it now? Who would insist on selling out food when they felt they had too much? Unless it was expired or spoiled produce that they didn't want to eat themselves but couldn't bear to throw away, they would sell it cheaply, at least to get some crystal cores.
Some people who are about to starve to death don't mind eating moldy and spoiled food, but they are all superpowered people and can get the biggest share when searching for supplies, so naturally they disdain it.
Even though Hao Qing repeatedly said on the way that those were all good things, although she had never heard of the brands and some of the dates didn't match, there was no problem with the food itself.
A few people ignored the second half of the sentence. When they heard that the date didn't match, they sneered even more. If they hadn't had a space gourd to lure them, they would never have been able to get through such a dangerous Venus flytrap forest.
But now no one questions it. Convenience stores even sell fresh apples, so even if the other apples have some minor problems, they are not spoiled or moldy.
Of course, there are also people who don’t believe that the apples are real. They run over and stand next to the shelves. They can clearly smell the aroma of apples, which is a real sweet smell.
The man smacked his lips and muttered, "What a pity there's no durian. I really want to have a bite of this..."
While Xie Yunsui was settling accounts, he heard this and said, "Yes."
Everyone in the store:!!!
Even Hao Qing was surprised. When she first started to stock the goods, she had seen many fruits, but she had never seen durian.
Xie Yunsui took out a whole durian from the space, and the person who wanted to eat the durian widened his eyes when he saw it.
The durian fruit is plump and has creamy tips. It looks like a good fruit that you can’t get before doomsday!
"I want it! How much is this one?"
Xie Yunsui said: "600 crystal cores."
When Xiang Ziming saw the durian he took out of thin air, he thought to himself, "Is the boss the third-level space ability person who did good deeds in the West District before?"
Xie Yunsui: "..."
Do good things for others? Him?
Xie Yunsui's expression was subtle: "I guess so."
Xiang Ziming had never expected that the person he had been looking for was right here. Joy flashed in his eyes: "Do you have any other seeds besides these on the shelf? What other fruits do you have besides apples and durian?"
Not only does he buy all the seeds, he also buys all kinds of fruits to take home, so that he can eat them and collect the seeds to continue planting.
This was the first psychic who cared so much about the seeds. Xie Yunsui quickly identified his identity - Xiang Ziming, the leader of the southern district, a third-level wood-type psychic.
In the memories of both Ji Tianyuan and Liang Hongyu, this big boss from the South District was a person who had extensive research and pursuit of farming.
Xie Yunsui smiled and recommended him a dozen kinds of fruits with seeds. The seed bag in his hand contained thousands of kinds of vegetable and fruit seeds, economic crop seeds, grain seeds, and flower seeds. When Xiang Ziming listed them one by one, his breathing became heavier.
Soon everyone chose what they wanted to buy, and a lot of gourds were sold, but Xiang Ziming was still struggling with whether to buy more seeds of different types to see which seeds were more suitable for the current environment, or to buy seeds that he had tested and could be grown, and plant more so that the people in the base could have enough to eat.
Xie Yunsui looked at the time and saw that he had half an hour left to deliver dinner to Xiaoxi.
Ji Tianyuan was also a little anxious. It would be difficult to go back after dark. Why hadn't he made a decision yet?
"Wow, there are quite a lot of people."
Suddenly, a male voice came from outside the door, with a malicious tone.
Hao Qing, who had been waiting obediently by the side, suddenly changed her expression.
