Chapter 98 The Third Store



Lu Yao asked the system: "What's the matter with aliens?"

The system was still brooding over the shop owner's comment that it was stupid, and pretended not to hear it.

Lu Yao changed the question: "How can I tell whether the clerk I recruited is an alien?"

The system could not refuse questions related to the task.

System: [...Spend one thousand popularity points to exchange for a special recruitment notice that can only be seen by aliens. Does the shop owner choose to redeem it?]

"Yes." Lu Yao made a decisive choice.

There was a snack bar and a nail salon in front. Lu Yao could accept whether the clerk was a human or not, but at least she had to know the details of the employees.

The system couldn't help asking: [The shop owner doesn't seem to worry about the risk of death at all?]

Lu Yao: "If I am worried, can I not recruit alien clerks?"

System: [...No, this is a task condition. The mission failed, and the store owner's dream-fulfilling journey will stop here. 】

Lu Yao shrugged: "That's it."

There was no point in worrying, so he could only rush forward.

[……]

The system was speechless. The unnecessary question added another piece of "unintelligent" evidence. A

special recruitment notice was posted at the door, and Lu Yao watched for a while.

She could see the recruitment notice posted at the door. Normally, customers would always glance at it when they came in and out, but the customers did not react.

The rain outside the door was getting heavier, and water was gathering on the ground.

If you step on it, the water can cover your instep.

However, the blacklist system of the blind box store has its own defensive magic, and at this time, a thin and transparent protective barrier has been erected outside the store.

The water flowed to the vicinity of the blind box store, as if it had encountered some obstacle and automatically bypassed it.

The sky was covered with cumulus clouds, which were gray and heavy, approaching the ground directly, giving a depressing feeling of an approaching rainstorm.

Lu Yao turned around and went back to the store. The winter limited blind boxes could be taken off the shelves, and it was time to prepare new styles.

Ji Feiming had been observing Lu Yao, and seeing that she was about to walk into the black space that he couldn't enter again, he called her out. Lu Yao

turned around and saw him asking casually, "What's wrong? Are you used to working?"

Ji Feiming thought to himself that going to work was almost like retirement. Pushing a cart to load and unload goods every day was more intense than going to the gym on weekdays. What was there to get used to?

It's just that the space he can move around in is too small, and apart from delivering goods, the rest of the time is very boring.

But Lu Yao said that he can go home after delivering the goods, and he doesn't have to stay in the store.

He is full of curiosity about the world outside the door, and envies the store owner who can come and go freely. He also has the task of monitoring the store owner, so he is never willing to leave work early.

He has already understood that he can't control Lu Yao, but he doesn't care much. He even began to look forward to where this street will lead to next time.

Ji Feiming shook his head and didn't intend to say what he thought. He mentioned something he cared about more: "Shop owner, what disease does the little fat man have? If you need a doctor, I can help contact him. The top doctors in various fields can be contacted, and it's no problem for them to visit you at home."

Lu Yao didn't expect him to mention this.

She didn't know medicine, and originally planned to ask the clerk at the nail salon. At this time, she looked at Ji Feiming dimly: "If you come to see a doctor at home, you have to sign a confidentiality agreement. Are you sure there is a doctor willing to see a doctor?"

Ji Feiming nodded: "If you need it, I can arrange it immediately." Lu

Yao was stunned for a moment. As expected of the former envoy of God, he has some connections.

She didn't agree immediately, "I'll think about it again."

Yao Yiyi and her group returned with food and daily necessities exchanged from the blind box store, feeling a little excited.

There are few people in their base, and the supplies brought back by the five people include staple food, ingredients, fruits and medicines, which are no problem for emergency.

When the residents of the base recover a little, they can organize some people to go to the blind box store to exchange supplies.

The rain was getting heavier on the road, and the ground was flooded. They held umbrellas and wore raincoats, walked out of the East District, and continued to move west.

They didn't feel it before, but this time when they came back from the eastern area, they suddenly felt that the further they went west, the more desolate the scenery became.

When they just left the eastern area, they occasionally encountered one or two small search teams, but after walking for half a day, they encountered nothing.

Not only people, but also mutant beasts and mutant plants seemed to be extinct.

Yao Yiyi felt something was wrong. The rain came quickly and densely, falling on the umbrella, making a huge and urgent sound.

The ground was full of mud and water, and the road could no longer be seen.

She stopped and suggested: "The rain is too heavy, let's find a place to shelter from the rain first."

The others had no objections. They found a shelter covered by a huge rock and moved slowly through the mud and water.

Everyone hid under the rock and waited for the rain to subside.

Yao Yiyi kept looking at the rain curtain, always feeling uneasy.

Suddenly, Wei Quan said, "Someone is coming."

Two figures appeared vaguely in the rain curtain not far away.

The five members of the team immediately went into alert.

The rain was so heavy that the appearance of the people in the rain could not be seen clearly.

It was seen that the two people seemed to support each other and walked very slowly.

After a while, one person was left in the rain, and the other walked in the direction where the search team was taking shelter from the rain.

Yao Yiyi's eyes were full of vigilance, watching the person getting closer and closer.

The speed and pace of the man walking alone in the rain were very strange, as if he was in front of him in the blink of an eye.

"Hello, my name is Xue Ge. Excuse me, are you coming from the east?"

The young man standing in the rain curtain, his hair and clothes were soaked by the rain, and his black hair was like algae, all stuck to his face.

Although he was in a very ferocious state, his appearance was too delicate and his temperament was extremely special, which made people feel refreshed.

The boy wore fresh little flower earrings on his ears, and the bright purple flowers kept shaking under the heavy rain.

Yao Yiyi's eyes condensed slightly, and she was more vigilant than before: "Well. Did you come from the west?"

Xue Ge nodded, lowered his eyes and saw the blind box placed at the innermost part of the stone wall, pointed at it and asked: "I'm looking for a place with that kind of box. Where did you get these boxes?"

Yao Yiyi: "We redeemed it at a store in the east area. Go east and find the Fairy Tale Square, then you will see the store."

"Thank you." Xue Ge got the information he wanted, turned around and walked in the direction of his companions, took two steps, turned back, and said kindly: "Don't go to the west, there is no one there."

Yao Yiyi's face changed, "Wait a minute, what do you mean?"

Xue Ge: "All the bases in the west have been occupied by mutants and turned into their nests. Soon, they will invade the east and continue to hunt humans."

Hunting humans?

The faces of the five members of the team turned ugly.

Xue Ge said no more, turned around and walked into the rain, helped up his companion who was paralyzed on the ground, turned in another direction, and walked north.

"Captain, what should we do?" Wei Quan asked, "Should we go back to the base?"

Li Xin frowned: "Do you believe what he said? We have finally brought back so many supplies, we should at least go back to the base to take a look."

"But if what he said is true..."

Attacking multiple bases and hunting humans, there must be a high-level mutant in command.

If they go back rashly, it would be like delivering food.

Yao Yiyi's expression was solemn. The man just now gave her a very bad feeling.

The pair of earrings on his ears looked like flowers, but no matter how they were washed by the heavy rain, they did not deform or damage.

She didn't know why she paid attention to this, but she felt it was very strange.

And his last words implicitly confirmed her bad premonition.

Their base is very small, there are not many people, and there are many old and weak people.

But because of this, everyone helped each other and survived one impermanence after another.

If it weren't for the care of a sister in the base, Yao Yiyi would not have survived this cold wave.

She looked down at the blind box on the ground and decided: "Go back and take a look."

On the fourth day after the cold wave ended, a new round of impermanence-flood began.

The flood rose at night, and Lu Yao was not in the store.

The magic defense system of the blacklist was automatically turned on, and the spherical transparent barrier wrapped the blind box store, making it float on the water.

Lu Yao came to the store in the morning and found that the muddy water spread from the Fairy Tale Square to the main road outside.

As far as the eye can see, there is a sea of ​​mud.

Wei Xuan and Nie Yu moved with all their belongings overnight and lived on the third floor of the shopping mall.

When they woke up in the morning, the first thing they did was lean on the railing to look. They were surprised to see that the blind box store was floating on the water like a boat and was not flooded.

Then they found the owner standing in front of the store, and they waved excitedly.

Trapped upstairs, unable to come down to work. Lu

Yao went back to the store and found a loudspeaker and shouted across the air.

In this situation, it is estimated that there will not be many customers coming to the store, so just give them a holiday.

Wait until the water level drops before coming to work.

Wei Xuan and Nie Yu have stored food and a complete set of props driven by crystal core energy. There is no problem with drinking water, food and keeping warm.

Luo Hui'an and Jiang Shanrun have been living in the laboratory recently, focusing on their research topics and are not affected.

Lu Yao had breakfast and pulled a chair to sit at the door.

As she expected, there were no customers.

Occasionally, strange fish would leap out of the water, and some would crash into the protective barrier of the blind box shop, as if launching an attack.

Lu Yao went back to the nail salon to get a set of fishing tools, and simply sat at the door to cast his fishing rod to kill time.

Ji Feiming came to deliver the goods, and the area outside the store turned into a sea overnight, and the storefront turned into a boat, while the owner was fishing boredly at the door. He

felt really relaxed.

He stood stiffly for a while, took out a leisure book from his suit pocket, and sat down beside him.

A small wooden boat turned out from the back of Shenghong Building. Xue Ge squatted at the bow with a solemn expression, his hands out of the water, and the boat went straight towards the direction of the blind box shop.

His companions were injured, weak and unconscious.

He had a bad sense of direction, took the wrong road, and was delayed for several days before finding this place.

It happened to be a flood season, so it took some time to build the boat.

Arriving at the door of the blind box store, Xue Ge saw Lu Yao fishing and frowned.

The fishing rod was thrown into the water, and a stupid fish immediately took the hook.

The young woman gathered the fishing line, swung the liquid crystal core knife, broke the fish body, and the crystal core fell out.

"The mutants in the east have decreased significantly. It turns out that it is your credit." Xue Ge stared at the crystal core liquid knife in Lu Yao's hand, and his tone was mocking. Lu

Yao looked over and raised his eyebrows.

The boy who looks as beautiful as a flower also wears purple flower earrings on his ears.

This temperament and appearance are too obvious.

She knocked on the system quietly: "Is this it? It looks like a mutant plant. Is the flower on his ear the real body?"

System: [...Why can you guess it? ]

Lu Yao: "You will know after a little thought."

The three most powerful creatures in the world of impermanence are humans, mutant beasts, and mutant plants.

For alien races other than humans, there are only these two directions to consider.

After the mutant rat is upgraded, it can command other mutant animals to attack the base.

During the last transition period, mutated man-eating plants also appeared near the square.

Lu Yao noticed that there was another person on the boat, an adult woman in a white coat, with medium-length hair, closed eyes, and a pale face.
