Chapter 096 Zombie Apocalypse 34
Xie Yunsui renovated the convenience store again, removing the refrigerated cabinets and freezers, and temporarily taking the snacks off the shelves and replacing them with a lot of cold-proof supplies.
While I was cleaning up, someone came into the store.
His clothes were thin and his face and hands were red from the cold. As soon as he entered the store, he felt warm and comfortable, and he couldn't even speak.
Xie Yunsui: "Hello, what would you like to buy?"
The man smiled and said, "Boss Xie, do you have any down jackets? Preferably one that's longer and thicker."
"Yes, we have a special offer today." Xie Yunsui glanced at him, gazing at the obvious gourd-shaped bulge under his collar for two seconds before continuing, "50 crystal cores each."
The man said in surprise: "Give me four."
"Limit purchase to one per person."
“…”
The man paused for a moment before carefully taking out fifty crystal cores from the space gourd on his chest, completing the transaction.
When he got the clothes, it was obviously a brand new long black down jacket. He quickly put it on while looking around the store.
The shelves are filled with a wide variety of supplies, which is very tempting. There is even heating and lighting... This convenience store should have an independent generator. As a person with spatial abilities, he should have quite a few on hand, otherwise he wouldn't be able to keep the heating on all the time.
The man's thoughts were in turmoil, but he finally suppressed them. To be able to open a convenience store like this, the owner must have some extraordinary means.
While he was thinking, the door was opened again and the man hurried away.
It was Hua Sheng who came in again. She hurried over and said, "We had someone clear out a porridge shop. There are four large thermos buckets inside. We plan to make some hot porridge to share with the survivors."
But the porridge shop used to use electric and gas stoves, so Hua Sheng came to ask if there was a charcoal stove.
Xie Yunsui said, "Yes."
Xie Yunsui has collected several types of charcoal stoves, most of which are small charcoal stoves for boiling tea around the stove, and the charcoal used is of exquisite shape.
It would take more than half a day to cook a bucket of porridge with something like this. Xie Yunsui thought about it and took out a cast iron charcoal stove, which is commonly used by rural families. He thought it was good and bought two. This cast iron charcoal stove is large in size. If you put a big iron pot on it, you can cook a big pot of rice, and it doesn't matter whether you use charcoal or wood.
Hua Sheng was also surprised. People living in the city probably haven't seen this kind of charcoal stove for a long time. It was surprising that Boss Xie also received it.
Xie Yunsui rented two charcoal furnaces to her and sold two boxes of honeycomb charcoal for ten crystal cores.
Hua Sheng was surprised: "This special price is too low, how is it different from giving it away for free?"
Hua Sheng was panicked because he sold an apple for 100 crystal cores.
Xie Yunsui smiled: "I can't help with anything else, but I can still make the decision on this."
In fact, Xie Yunsui has always sold basic survival supplies at very low prices.
The most important thing is that he has to keep these people alive as long as possible so that he can complete his mission as soon as possible.
He also asked Hua Sheng if he needed some cooked rice. It was all fresh, but Xie Yunsui had cooked it in advance and kept it in the space warehouse. When it was inconvenient to cook, he could just take out a box and eat it.
What is convenient for Hua Sheng is that he does not need to wait for a long time for the raw rice to be cooked into porridge. He can cook a large pot of cooked rice in just a few minutes by adding water.
"Yes! Of course!" Hua Sheng nodded repeatedly.
Hua Sheng had just asked someone to move the boxed rice and purified water away when another acquaintance came to the convenience store.
"Xiao Xingjin?" Xie Yunsui asked uncertainly.
"It's me, Boss Xie, long time no see." Xiao Xingjin pulled the corner of his mouth, trying to smile, but gave up.
Xie Yunsui asked, "What do you need?"
This was Xiao Xingjin's first time in this convenience store. The familiar simple decoration and warm heating made him feel as if he had returned to those ordinary days before the end of the world.
There’s no going back…
Xiao Xingjin finally confirmed that he could not go back to the past and could only move forward and find a new path.
He closed his eyes, then looked up again: "Boss Xie, did you feel anything strange in your body yesterday?"
Xie Yunsui raised his eyebrows: "Just say it."
"You're a Tier 3 esper, so you must have been there for quite some time. Like everyone else, you also experienced some reaction to yesterday's 'Evolution Day,' right?" Xiao Xingjin said, "In fact, if most of the esper weren't unconscious from upgrading yesterday, the four major bases wouldn't have collapsed like this."
Xie Yunsui: "You mean, you put all the responsibility of protecting the base on the superpowers, right?"
Xiao Xingjin frowned: "The awakening of superpowers is originally a ray of hope given to mankind by God. They are blessed with unique advantages, so of course they have to bear more responsibilities. Pressure is also motivation."
Xie Yunsui smiled and said, "I just feel that the stronger the strong support, the weaker the status of the weak will become."
Xiao Xingjin was silent, trying to find something to refute, but found that the problem Boss Xie mentioned had always existed.
Even though the former South District Base was the most peaceful and least exploitative of the four major bases, in fact, there was still a wall between people with special abilities and ordinary people.
All teams that go out to clear zombies and search for supplies are almost always led by people with special abilities.
As usual, a portion of the crystal cores and supplies brought back had to be handed over to the leaders. Xiang Ziming was quite generous and distributed most of the "taxes", but the psychics still got more, while ordinary people got less.
Ordinary people are used to being protected. Every day they just study the little supplies they have and think about how to store more food. Only then will they be able to resist when the superpowers fall one after another, and the zombie tide breaks through the base and slaughters people indiscriminately.
Xiao Xingjin considered himself to be quite capable. He was in charge of all the affairs, big and small, in the base. Since he had no special abilities, he naturally lowered his status to become an assistant who "helped" Xiang Ziming deal with trivial matters.
He had clearly thought of building a protective fortress a long time ago, but because Xiang Ziming felt it was unnecessary, he suppressed the idea.
If he had been more decisive at the beginning and withstood the pressure to stand in Xiang Ziming's position - Xiang Ziming would definitely not have held on to the position and refused to let go. After such a long time, the protective fortress would definitely have been built. Even if it was only half built, facing the zombie tide yesterday, they would not have been forced to flee in all directions.
Xiao Xingjin smiled bitterly and sighed. There were no such things as "ifs" or "if I had known"; choosing Xiang Ziming as the leader was the result of careful consideration.
He stopped worrying and told me his plan. "I know Boss Xie is very powerful. Captain Xiang once told me how many crystal cores I would need if I asked Boss Xie to help clear the zombies from the South District base."
"You want to go back?"
"I have to go back, and as soon as possible."
"You can find the survivors in your southern district and form a few teams to clean up and send back."
Xiao Xingjin's face turned grim: "...I found a few people, but they didn't want to."
After experiencing this zombie tide, ordinary people have already been scared out of their wits. Those people with special abilities who were lucky enough to wake up at the critical moment just want a stable environment to adapt to the surging energy in their bodies, and do not want to go back at the moment.
They also said: "People who stay in the base will definitely not survive. The supplies are dead and the zombies won't eat them. Maybe the zombies will disperse on their own in a few days. Then we can go back and get the supplies."
Xiao Xingjin still remembers the scene where Captain Xiang stuffed him into the car. He remembered that Captain Xiang fainted in the afternoon and didn't know how he woke up.
Others said that Captain Xiang was at the rear and would definitely catch up, but Xiao Xingjin searched for the entire morning and didn't see Xiang Ziming. He asked the team that was counting the number of people, but no one had heard of his name either.
Xiang Ziming didn't come.
Xiao Xingjin's heart ached whenever he thought about it. He couldn't believe that Xiang Ziming didn't escape. He had upgraded his superpowers, so he was sure he would survive!
Maybe he is trapped in the base and cannot escape.
"I'm sorry, I have to run the shop and can't help you." Xie Yunsui gave him a direction: "You can wait until everyone is settled, then find Ji Tianyuan and ask him if anyone is willing to go with you."
I think Ji Tianyuan’s team will be happy to earn this extra money.
Xiao Xingjin wasn't disappointed when he heard his refusal. He didn't think Boss Xie would agree to this request at first, so he just asked with a try-it attitude. When he heard Ji Tianyuan's name, he was stunned for a moment: "Okay, I'll go find him."
After he left, the store finally became quiet for a while.
Xie Yunsui was worried about Lu Xizhou, so he quickly hung up a sign saying "rest temporarily" and went upstairs.
The two pots of grass in Lu Xizhou's room spit out crystal cores, and in one night, they formed a small hill.
Lu Xizhou was staring at the small hill in a daze.
It was not until Xie Yunsui knocked on the door and came in that he moved his little head in reaction.
As soon as he saw Xie Yunsui, the scene of himself hugging and biting her last night rushed into his mind, and Lu Xizhou's face turned red.
He pulled at the thin quilt and tried to bury himself.
How shameful! Why did you lose your temper and molest him?
The key is that you can still remember it so clearly afterwards. Isn’t it bad like losing your memory when you are drunk?
Lu Xizhou didn't dare to think about it too much. He had never been so close to anyone before. He could still recall the body temperature of Xie Yunsui, which seemed to burn him.
"Xiaoxi?" Xie Yunsui stood beside the bed and poked the quail.
Lu Xizhou responded after a long pause, "Yeah."
"Are you awake? Do you feel unwell?"
"Very, very good."
Xie Yunsui had never seen him so embarrassed before. What happened?
It wasn't like this the first time you bit him, right?
Xie Yunsui suddenly had an idea and said calmly, "I understand what happened last night. It's not your fault. I don't need you to be responsible."
Responsible?
Lu Xizhou was stunned. He molested someone and bit her like that, so he should be held responsible.
Lu Xizhou lifted the quilt. His hair was messy and fluffy, making him look cute and innocent. He said seriously, "I will take responsibility."
Xie Yunsui could barely hold back the corners of his mouth as he deliberately joked, "It's okay. I know this is just the instinct of a zombie. As long as you can recover, I don't care."
"I will try my best to control myself in the future." Lu Xizhou held his hand and looked up at him: "Next time if I touch you again, you will tie me up. If I bite you, you will stuff something in my mouth."
Xie Yunsui lowered his eyes, his gaze passing over his pale lips.
Smile: "Okay."
He is the most obedient.
