Chapter 081 Zombie Apocalypse 19
The North District base is located in a warehouse area of a chain food brand and two new residential areas. Personnel security is set up on the road section facing the central district, and iron railings and empty trucks are set up outside the North District to prevent zombie attacks.
Unlike the West District, there is no place specifically for people to set up stalls and exchange goods.
There is a section of shops on the road connecting the new community, where Zou Yao has stationed people. It is divided into several major purchasing points and specialty sales points.
Fortunately, the universal currency is still zombie crystal cores.
Zou Yao has been leading the team out for two days and has not returned. However, the people inside the base don't care much about the leader's actions and are only focused on their own survival.
"My instant noodles will expire in three days. You should at least charge me the same price as if they were unexpired, right?"
"This jade is of top quality, worth tens of millions back then, and it's only worth this much food?"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! The clean water is here! Freshly brewed by water-based psychics, five crystal cores for one liter!"
…
Even during the day, it is very lively here.
Xie Yunsui walked through the crowd and came to a store that purchased food.
This store was converted from a car dealership and has two doors, one for acquisitions and the other for sales.
Two long tables blocked the entrance. There were three or four people at one table. Two of them were handling purchase and sale matters, while next to them was a second-level psychic who used force to intimidate.
Through the door, you can see several rows of shelves in the store hall. There is not much food on the shelves, and most of them are vacuum-packed foods.
There are many rules for selling food. The prices of different types of food vary on different days. There is also a long queue at the door, and two psychics are needed to maintain order. Xie Yunsui took a look and stood at the purchasing door.
There weren't many people at the purchasing door, most of them were trying their luck with food that was about to go bad or expired.
Xie Yunsui saw a big-character poster posted at the door, which listed the purchase prices of several common foods.
Well, it’s a little higher than the price at his convenience store.
Taking instant noodles as an example, the purchase here depends on whether the instant noodles come with seasoning packets and the quality of the noodles. For the most complete bagged instant noodles with seasonings and not expired or spoiled, 10 crystal cores are purchased for one bag.
If only the date doesn't match, but everything else is OK, buy 8 crystal cores.
However, Xie Yunsui Convenience Store only sells 5 crystal cores per pack.
They bought instant noodles, and every few steps, they would sell 20 to 30 crystal cores in a bag at the next table.
Zou Yao does not allow the private exchange of instant noodles. Once discovered, the person will be expelled from the base. If someone reports the private exchange, they can also receive a crystal core reward.
How to say it, Zou Yao does have selfish motives. If he makes more transactions, he can keep some good things for himself. This way he can collect taxes and stabilize the "market price" within the base, killing three birds with one stone.
It’s better to avoid private transactions where someone will ask for 50 crystal cores for a bag of spoiled noodles, force you to buy it, and even threaten you with force if you don’t buy it.
Of course, private transactions are rampant despite repeated bans. People who know each other secretly exchange things when they visit each other, and no one can say anything.
We can also tell something from the fact that there are not many people in the acquisition area.
Xie Yunsui didn't care about that. As long as they were willing to buy it, he would be happy to get some crystal cores in return.
"What are you selling?" asked the person at the long table.
Xie Yunsui said, "Instant noodles."
He took out a whole box of instant noodles from thin air.
As soon as he took it out, he received many stares. The buyer was also surprised: "You sold them all?"
This whole box of instant noodles doesn’t have a single scratch or dirt on the outer packaging, and it doesn’t look like it has been spoiled.
But maybe it's just an appearance, maybe the instant noodles inside are not clean enough.
"We need to check it out."
After all, the acquisition is made in front of everyone, so the acquirer must have a certain degree of "professionalism".
Xie Yunsui said, "No problem."
Zhang Wen opened the outer packaging and took out a pack of instant noodles. Just by touching it from the outside, he could tell that the noodles inside were intact and there were not many broken pieces.
The brand name is unfamiliar, and the date is also...
"2111?" Zhang Wen was puzzled. He had never seen this format before.
Xie Yunsui said calmly, "There's something wrong with the date stamping on this batch of instant noodles. They're all wrong."
After explaining the problem of the wrong date, Zhang Wen didn't say anything else. It was so wrong that it could no longer be said to be an expiration issue.
He continued to open the package of instant noodles, and the smell of fresh noodles hit him. There was no moisture or mold, and the seasonings were neatly placed, just like instant noodles that had just left the factory.
Zhang Wen looked at the buyer next to him and said, "Although everything else is fine, the date is wrong. We can only accept it based on 8 crystal cores."
Xie Yunsui smiled: "Okay."
Zhang Wen felt quite guilty. He also knew that as time went by, the instant noodles would surely have issues with their expiration dates. How could there still be any instant noodle factories operating now?
Zou Yao's regulation is nothing more than to lower the price.
He looked at the opened noodles in his hand. Even though it was opened, it could still be sold and he could still get it at the original price. He counted them and found that there were 20 packets of instant noodles in the whole box.
"You sold them all?"
There are so many and such a complete selection of instant noodles, I have never seen anyone be so willing to spend them.
Xie Yunsui's expression remained unchanged: "Well, actually I still have a lot. How much can you take?"
Zhang Wencai remembered that he was a person with spatial ability. Maybe he was lucky enough to find a warehouse of instant noodles and bought a lot of them.
Someone heard them talking and cursed inwardly, saying it was a pity. He wondered where this person lived. If he had known earlier, he would have exchanged them secretly. Not to mention 8 crystal cores, even if it was raised to 15 crystal cores, someone would have traded for it.
Zhang Wen said, "We'll take whatever you have."
Although their place is adjacent to a warehouse, and every household usually has snacks such as preserved fruits, meat jerky, and braised eggs, there are few staple foods. There is only one bakery that sells bread with a short shelf life, but the bread has long expired and gone bad.
He thought that such intact instant noodles were hard to come by, and there would be no problem selling them, so of course the more the better.
Xie Yunsui's smile deepened: "Really?"
The last person who said this was almost drowned by Apple.
So in the next two hours, Xie Yunsui gave the North District Base a little shock.
A steady stream of boxes of instant noodles were taken out, not only filling up the shelves, but also forming a wall of instant noodles in the empty space against the wall.
If Zhang Wen and his companion didn't need to count, there would be two walls by now.
Because the payment was made once a box of crystal cores were sold, Zhang Wen and his companions not only emptied their own crystal core storage, but also used the crystal cores collected from the neighboring store in the past two days as advance payment.
Even so, when they sold 500 boxes, they had no crystal cores left in stock.
"Sorry, I won't accept you today..."
Xie Yunsui felt quite sorry because the profit margin of instant noodles was so thin that he only sold it for 80,000 crystal cores.
"Me! I have money! Sell it to me! 10 crystal cores per bag."
"Don't listen to him, 12 crystal cores a pack, I want them all in a box!"
"15 crystal cores! I can afford it! I want two boxes!"
People from the team next to them rushed over instantly. While Xie Yunsui was trading, many people who had heard about this came with crystal cores to purchase fresh instant noodles.
Who knew that Xie Yunsui had goods but the purchasing station was out of crystal cores?
This is simply a huge benefit!
As for being kicked out of the base for private transactions?
Ha, with so many people trading now, how can it be done privately? Isn't this open and aboveboard?
We are not violating any rules. Isn't it just that your purchasing station is incompetent?
Could Zou Yao possibly drive everyone out of the base?
Xie Yunsui did not make things difficult for everyone. He only slightly raised the price of 2 crystal cores and sold them in packages of 10 crystal cores, and could also sell them in bulk.
After a frantic afternoon of making money, as the sun set in the west, Xie Yunsui clapped his hands and said to the people who came over, "Sorry, we're sold out of instant noodles."
I still have to rush back to bring Xiaoxi dinner in the evening.
For two or three days in a row, he used the little bees to go back and forth to the North District base to make money, and by the way, spread the news that "the third-level space-based mutant was kind-hearted."
On the fourth day, Xie Yunsui arrived at the East District Base.
"Thank you, Boss." Ji Tianyuan warmly welcomed Xie Yunsui. "I told Captain Lang in advance that we knew you were coming and we've already arranged the venue."
When Ji Tianyuan learned that Xie Yunsui was planning to travel around the four major bases to do charity work because the convenience store in the central area was inconvenient, he brought the good news back to the base.
For three consecutive days, the East District base was frantically clearing out zombies outside, waiting for the mobile supermarket to arrive at their base.
"Many people want to buy space gourds this time." Ji Tianyuan reminded.
Xie Yunsui didn't open the store for the past three days, so Ji Tianyuan found the opportunity to communicate with him.
"It takes time to make gourds. We're busy these days and have no stock." Xie Yunsui knows how many space gourds there are in the four major bases. In order to prevent one company from dominating the market, he basically controls the quantity.
Ji Tianyuan didn't know how the space gourd was made, and thought it was using space powers to divide space or something. He didn't understand space powers, so he nodded as if he understood.
When Xie Yunsui arrived at the East District Base and saw all the defensive fortifications, his eyebrows jumped.
He had already been to three bases except the South Zone, and only the East Zone's defenses were mainly facing the Central Zone.
A deep horizontal ditch in a semi-arc shape wrapped around the East District Base, destroying a large area of land and roads. Not only that, the ditch was also filled with lumps of iron.
I'm afraid that a lot of earth and gold-type psychics were mobilized.
Is this because they don't want foreign plants to seep through the soil?
Xie Yunsui shifted his gaze and followed Ji Tianyuan to the shopping mall square.
Xie Yunsui only came in the afternoon and left in the evening, so the "big charity activity" lasted for three days.
Within three days, everyone in the base lined up at least once, clearing out their own crystal core balances in exchange for more needed daily necessities, mostly food.
Thanks to Ji Tianyuan’s promotion, apples are also selling well.
On the afternoon of the third day, there was still some time before Xie Yunsui returned in the evening, and there were not many people in the square.
There is no way, the deposit has been emptied.
Even though they knew the psychic still had some in stock, they couldn't afford it.
Lang Hao came over with a smile and invited Xie Yunsui to have afternoon tea.
"Boss Xie is indeed a third-level space-based esper. The space he awakens in... should be quite large, right?"
The seemingly inexhaustible space and the rich variety of supplies are really enviable.
Lang Hao concealed the greed in his eyes. He had learned from Ji Tianyuan that Boss Xie's skills were as powerful as his spatial ability.
This space ability user exchanged supplies for so many crystal cores. I wonder how much of it was spent on improving his abilities. Is he still at the third level now?
Although Lang Hao didn't dare to have any bad thoughts, he really wanted to make friends with him: "Boss Xie, this is a little gift from me. I hope Boss Xie will come to our base more often to organize activities next time. The survivors in our base really like to go out and clean up zombies."
Xie Yunsui looked at the exquisite wooden box on the table. Judging from its size, it was estimated that there must be several thousand crystal cores inside.
Xie Yunsui shifted his gaze to Lang Hao's face, smiled, and retracted it.
"Okay, it's what each district needs."
"However," Xie Yunsui changed the subject, "Captain Liang, Captain Zou, and Captain Xiang also said the same thing. I'm also confused about how to rank them."
Lang Hao's smile froze. He was actually the last one to get to know Boss Xie?
Isn’t their base only the third one?
Doesn’t Xiang Ziming grow vegetables at the base every day?
He actually went to the Central District to hook up with Boss Xie first. How shameless!
Lang Hao forced a smile: "I'll ask someone to bring another box..."
"No need. Since Ji Tianyuan has brought me a lot of business, I can give priority to the East District. The matter of the space gourd is also easy to discuss. It's a give and take. Everyone hopes that the survivors will live well."
Xie Yunsui spoke beautifully and did not embarrass Lang Hao. After all, they were not the only two having afternoon tea.
Ji Tianyuan stood beside him, looking at his nose and his heart, without saying a word.
Lang Hao smiled again.
Xie Yunsui checked the time and said, "I have to go back now. It's getting dark and it's hard to walk."
He stood up and was about to go out, but then he thought of something and turned back to ask, "By the way, do you know how to play rock-paper-scissors?"
