Chapter 084 Zombie Apocalypse 22
Xiang Ziming and Xiao Xingjin are good partners. They set up this base because they really want everyone to live a good life.
They also have a group of good brothers who sincerely follow them. Everyone in the base has assigned tasks, and everyone is working hard to restore the good life before the end of the world.
"If it weren't for Boss Xie, this cold winter would have been much harder for us." Xiao Xingjin rubbed his hands together, trying to recruit Boss Xie. "If Boss Xie hadn't opened a convenience store in the central district, or if the central district didn't have those mutated plants, good times would have arrived sooner. Since Boss Xie wants to earn more crystal cores, why not consider opening a branch outside?"
Xiao Xingjin really couldn't understand why he had to open a store in the exotic plant circle in the central area, but since he was unwilling to move out, Xiao Xingjin made other suggestions.
It's okay to open a branch store, it's profitable anyway, and he is a space-based psychic, so it's not difficult for him to carry things.
Xie Yunsui said, "Opening a branch store is the same as me setting up a stall. It takes time for you to accumulate crystal cores."
Xiaoxi is not in any of the four major bases, so he still likes his convenience store.
Xiao Xingjin remained undaunted by the rejection and continued with a smile, "I'll make the decision on behalf of our boss. We'll always reserve a room and a store at the Southern Base for Boss Xie."
Xie Yunsui: "..."
Xiang Ziming: “…Yeah.”
Xie Yunsui couldn't stand Xiao Xingjin's enthusiasm, so he immediately returned to the central area after the three-day event, planning to take a break.
But before leaving, he still asked Xiao Xingjin a question: "If this world is going to collapse sooner or later, what do you think it will be like?"
Xiao Xingjin pondered for a moment: "It has to be a mass extinction that subverts all life, right?"
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, our disaster is not yet that serious."
-
The tour was so successful that Xie Yunsui didn't get any business for seven or eight days.
Even Ji Tianyuan, who often did shopping for others, came to ask for leave, saying that he wanted to rest for a while.
Well, Xie Yunsui closed the store.
Lu Xizhou watched Xie Yunsui cleaning and tidying the kitchen non-stop, following slowly behind him. It took him a long time before he thought of asking, "Aren't you going to open the shop anymore?"
"Business is slow, so closing for a couple of days won't hurt. Do you have a matching set for this plate? I'll pick it up and put it together."
Lu Xizhou thought about it and found two plates of similar size in the upper cabinet.
"There are quite a few soup pots here. Which one do you like?"
Lu Xizhou chose the pumpkin-shaped soup pot, and Xie Yunsui put away the others.
The refrigerator is empty, there is no electricity, and the cabinets have too many doors.
Lu Xizhou helped move to a corner of the restaurant and watched him put a six-layer wooden rack in the empty space and then put food on it.
Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and two large durians are placed on the bottom layer. The grids above are filled with various fruits, long-lasting vegetables, various delicious base material packets, and vacuum-packed bacon, sausages, canned meat, etc.
"Put these here. If you want to eat them, you can make some hot pot. There aren't many side dishes, just enough to fill your stomach."
There are two sets of gas stoves on the top of the shelf, one stove with four pots, which is enough for a few light meals.
There was some space next to the shelf against the wall, and Xie Yunsui simply filled it up with boxes of purified water.
The small area suddenly became full of life, without any sense of desolation caused by a year-long power outage.
Lu Xizhou was panicked: "Aren't you going to have dinner with me?"
"How come?" Xie Yunsui touched his head and smiled, "Let's eat together, but sometimes I have things outside and may not be able to get back in time. You can't wait for me on an empty stomach."
Although they had only been eating together for a few days, Lu Xizhou had already gotten used to Xie Yunsui's presence.
The two would chat while eating, and a meal could take a long time. Sometimes Xie Yunsui would simply have lunch and afternoon tea and save it for dinner, and Lu Xizhou didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
He was used to sitting in a rocking chair and reading books and comics. When he had afternoon tea, Xie Yunsui would accompany him, lying in another rocking chair and writing and drawing on a small gourd.
Xie Yunsui always takes out all kinds of delicious food, such as orange tea, sweet persimmons, mung bean cakes, and salt and pepper biscuits. Although they are not filling, they are very interesting to eat.
He also had a lot of new comics and novels that he had never read, as well as various building blocks, which Lu Xizhou simply couldn't put down.
But if Xie Yunsui wasn't around, these would just be ways to pass the time, just like their previous lives, with no fun.
Lu Xizhou got nervous and grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Where are you going?"
Xie Yunsui answered every question: "I want to go to the nearby supermarket to search for supplies. It's been abandoned for a long time, but there should still be some vacuum-packed food."
At first, Xie Yunsui was not very interested in the super supermarket.
He had plenty of supplies. If the supplies in the deserted island world took up 1 grid of warehouse space, the supplies in the Western Fantasy Town for a lifetime would take up 10 grids. Then in the previous world, where the products were abundant and the transportation was developed, Xie Yunsui just bought things casually. He went to various countrysides in all four seasons every year to purchase the most seasonal supplies, which were cheap and in large quantities, and easily occupied 1,000 grids of supplies.
Take the instant noodles that Xie Yunsui sold to the North District Base for example. That was just one flavor of one brand. He had nine other flavors of the same brand, not to mention other brands.
Xie Yunsui made a lot of money in his previous life, so much that he had no place to spend it. This money would be useless in another world, so he had to spend it all before leaving.
After losing money building the seed museum, he earned back the ticket revenue in just over ten years. Together with various patent fees, the balance in his hands gradually increased. He then built a factory and sold half of the products produced and kept the other half in his own space.
What stopped Xie Yunsui from continuing to hoard was that the space warehouse opened up with energy was not big enough, not that he couldn't afford it.
This time, going to the four major bases to do good deeds only consumed 1 point of his stock.
So what Xie Yunsui cares about is not what is in the supermarket, but the supermarket itself.
It's the closest to Xiaoxi's house, and it's still quite large. With a little renovation, it could become a great place to visit.
That’s right, Xie Yunsui wanted to transform that place into a date place with Xiaoxi.
Since not many people come to the central area, Xie Yunsui plans to tidy up the area within a one-kilometer radius and make it clean and beautiful.
You can't go out for a walk and see only ruins, right?
When Lu Xizhou heard the phrase "nearby super supermarket", he immediately remembered the place. It was a very large supermarket that he had been to a long time ago. However, the portions of food there were too big, and he often couldn't finish the food he bought by himself, and it would go bad if left alone.
But if I share it with him, we should be able to finish it, right?
With this feeling of anticipation, Lu Xizhou asked, "Can I go with you?"
As soon as he said that, he thought of the last time he went out and was scratched by a scary person. He shuddered and was about to regret it when Xie Yunsui suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "Okay! Let's go now."
Lu Xizhou:?
Xie Yunsui was afraid that Lu Xizhou would regret it on the spot, so she took off her apron and pulled him out.
Lu Xizhou: "...Let me get the key."
As the door was closed, Lu Xizhou slowed down his pace.
The corridor was cleaned up, the blood and brains spilled on the walls and on the ground disappeared, the bones on the ground were thrown away, and even the lush Venus flytraps disappeared.
The other two households had also been cleaned up by Xie Yunsui. Both of them opened their doors, and the sunlight coming through the living room illuminated the corridor very brightly.
Empty and quiet.
But Lu Xizhou was obviously much more relaxed.
Xie Yunsui took his hand and said, "Let's take the stairs."
Cleaning the building was not difficult, but starting the elevator was not an option. Even if he replaced the motor with a spare one, he didn't dare let Xiaoxi ride in the elevator that hadn't been used for a year, mainly because he didn't know how to repair the elevator.
The tenth floor was not too high, so Lu Xizhou followed obediently.
When I reached the sixth floor, a Venus flytrap suddenly emerged from the fire door, and its two clips almost filled the door.
Lu Xizhou was shocked when he saw the enlarged version of the Venus flytrap for the first time.
Xie Yunsui said, "It's okay, it's very well behaved."
Xie Yunsui had previously mentioned such large Venus flytraps and pitcher plants when chatting with Xiaoxi Xiaozhitiao. Lu Xizhou quickly approached it with curiosity: "It's so big..."
The main body of the Venus flytrap is on Xiaoxi's balcony, and these enlarged versions of the Venus flytraps are just a group of its little brothers.
Xie Yunsui pushed aside the serrations on the edge of a leaf, leaving a gap just like the middle part. "The leaf is very elastic, like a spring cushion. Try it."
This big clip was just for sticking to Lu Xizhou, and it couldn't show off at all. After Lu Xizhou really sat down, he found that it was really elastic and quite fun, so he touched it.
From Xie Yunsui's perspective, a little bit of energy was transferred from Lu Xizhou's palm to the Venus flytrap, and the centers of the two green petals gradually turned crimson - a sign of abundant nutrition.
Lu Xizhou pursed his lips to hide his joy: "Such a big leaf, it can accommodate two people, do you want to sit?"
Xie Yunsui: "No."
He was afraid that the Venus flytrap was poisonous.
Since Xie Yunsui refused to sit down, Lu Xizhou lost interest in playing anymore and got up.
The Venus flytrap unhappily stood its middle teeth upright. Lu Xizhou reached through the teeth and touched them: "I'll come to play with you next time~"
The Venus flytrap became happy again, raising its claws and opening and closing them, as if to express its gratitude.
Coincidentally, when he reached the fifth floor, there was another Venus flytrap that he wanted to stick on. Lu Xizhou just touched it and went down to the fourth floor. There were already two waiting for him.
Xie Yunsui: "..."
You only cleared three floors from the tenth floor down, but then all the remaining floors popped up, right?
Thinking of the Venus flytraps and pitcher plants all over the floor downstairs, Xie Yunsui felt that he might not be able to move forward today.
The moment he walked out of the building, Lu Xizhou looked at the overwhelming green outside and suddenly stopped.
Why...are there so many Venus flytraps and pitcher plants?
Lu Xizhou suddenly felt uneasy.
