After comforting him for a long time, Hu Dexu's uncle finally stopped crying.
He grabbed Zhang Yuan's hand and bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. It's all because of you that we have hope for a new life. Thank you so much."
Zhang Yuan felt bitter in his heart. He pulled out his hand and patted Uncle Hu Dexu on the shoulder: "Hey, just hold on for now. There will be better things coming out in a few days. Then your life will definitely be much better."
Hu Dexu's uncle suddenly looked up and tears started to flow again.
"Woo woo, you are such a good person!"
Zhang Yuan: ....
In the end, Hu Dexu dragged his uncle away.
A group of people returned to the base together.
What they didn't notice was that after they returned to the base, the guard at the gate also left.
The guard came to the base commander's office and told him about the recent unusual movements.
"Base Commander, I've noticed a group of people acting strangely lately. They return to the base in the early hours of the morning every day."
The base commander was a middle-aged man. He put his hands together on the table and tapped them lightly.
After a brief pause, he said, "You continue to monitor them and see what they are doing. Once you have figured it out, come back and report to me."
"Yes, Base Commander."
.....
Uncle Liu only received three loaves of bread and a bottle of mineral water from Qian Da. The other things he bought were left in Qian Da's space and were not taken out.
Carrying three loaves of bread and a bottle of mineral water, Uncle Liu returned to the greenhouse area.
At this time, his wife had not yet gone to bed and was looking around anxiously, waiting for his return.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him back.
Uncle Liu quietly sneaked into the tent of a family of three.
He closed the tent door and asked his daughter-in-law to wake up his son.
Uncle Liu’s son is named Liu Shan, and he is five years old.
He was born three months after the apocalypse.
In other words, he had never had a full meal in his little life.
It is as skinny as a stick and looks very small.
But at the same time, he had not experienced the good times before the end of the world, so he never knew what kind of life people lived before the end of the world.
In his heart, there is no despair and helplessness of his parents and the adults around him.
He enjoyed living with his parents, although he often worried that his father would not come back.
But being together as a family is better than anything else.
When Liu Shan saw the fresh bread handed to him by his father, his eyes were full of joy.
"Dad, what is this?"
Uncle Liu rubbed his little head lovingly and asked him to speak more quietly.
"Shan'er, this is bread. It's delicious coconut bread. Try it."
Liu Shan nodded heavily and bit it.
Uncle Liu's wife didn't eat it. She looked at her son lovingly and gave the bread in her hand to him.
"Shan'er, this is for you too. Eat it slowly."
Uncle Liu disapproved and stopped her: "Wife, this is for you, you must eat it."
Uncle Liu's wife shook her head and said, "Husband, I don't know where you found the bread today, but it must have been difficult. Leave it for our son and you. I'm not hungry."
Uncle Liu sighed, touched the back of her hand, and whispered, "Wife, don't worry about eating. Not only can we eat it today, but we can eat it every day in the future."
There were some things he was not comfortable talking about in the greenhouse area, for fear that someone might have ears.
But the secret signal he left on his wife's palm explained most of the things.
Uncle Liu's wife opened her eyes slightly, her pupils full of shock.
Finally, she slowly withdrew her hand and carefully took a bite of the bread.
The softness and sweetness of the bread instantly blossomed on her taste buds.
Uncle Liu's wife's eyes turned red, she sniffed, and began to swallow in big gulps.
Will their lives really improve?
This is what her husband just told her.
There was an endless supply of bread like this, allowing her to eat it with peace of mind.
She didn't believe it, but she didn't want to make her husband worry, so she just ate it in big mouthfuls.
......
Three days of smuggling went by like this.
During these three days, the security guards followed them and discovered the existence of the shopping mall.
But he did not choose to report it to the base commander immediately.
He planned to find out the situation in the mall and then tell the base commander.
So, the next day, when Qian Fang and others completed the transaction and left the mall, the security guard entered the mall.
Zhang Yuan looked at the man in military uniform in front of him and raised his eyebrows.
"Hello, brother, are you here to trade?"
The guard rubbed his hands and looked around.
"Um...Excuse me, where is this place?"
Zhang Yuan's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the guard in front of him and replied calmly, "This is a trading place. Do you want to trade?"
The guard thought for a moment and nodded.
Zhang Yuan took him into the supermarket. The guard's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw the supermarket full of supplies.
He traded a lot of things and returned to the base with the items.
After figuring out what the mall was, the guard still chose not to tell the base commander about it.
He sneaked into the message room during the shift change.
I don’t know to whom he sent an encrypted message, and then he left secretly.
.....
The day after the security guard accidentally broke into the mall, Zhang Yuan's mission was completed.
[Host, congratulations on completing the mission. ]
【Rewards are now being sent to you. 】
[Hidden Mission: Build a safe zone hotel in the end times. (Completed)]
[Mission Reward: Modern shopping mall and apocalyptic hotel coexist, and a random time portal opens.]
[Host, from now on, you can go to the end of the world at any time! The hotel can also be opened. ]
Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows with interest: "Oh? And then?"
【Then comes the new mission! 】
【Task: Accommodate 10 people in the hotel.】
[Task Reward: One-to-one automatic reproduction of the shopping mall.]
Zhang Yuan crossed his arms and sneered, "Little system, you are really interesting."
With a roll of his eyes, Zhang Yuan tentatively asked, "System, can I directly choose to trade a large amount of supplies with the Huaxia base?"
The system voice choked and quickly refused.
[No, no, host, not yet! ]
Zhang Yuan chuckled.
He felt that this end of the world was not right no matter how he looked at it.
He always felt that the system was hiding a lot of things from him.
It seems that we still need to continue to pay attention.
Now let’s follow the tasks issued by the system.
It just so happened that the hotel had a high safety factor, and he also wanted to let Qian Fang and others stay there so that they would have to travel less.
After all, no matter what, there is still danger in running around every night.
Not to mention that there are descendants of Wang Jianguo among that group of people.
Ensuring safety is a must!
