181 The Tenth Store
◎【You have a new mission!】◎
Zhao Xiaopeng and Feng Bing moved very slowly. They were trapped in the warehouse for a day and a night and had almost exhausted all their physical strength. They had to hold on with one breath. When they got outside, they seemed to have no strength left. They dragged their backpacks towards the electric car with great effort.
Lu Yao couldn't bear to watch, so he walked over and picked up their backpacks and walked towards the electric car. Now
that they were out, they could go back and complete the first and second errands. Lu Yao also wanted to take the two back as soon as possible.
Da Liu and his group of five people sat on the ground in a daze, looking at Zhao Xiaopeng and Feng Bing with envy.
They were also trapped in the warehouse, and were terrified when they escaped in the chaos. The way back was still several kilometers away, and they might encounter zombies at any time. The mere thought of it made them feel hopeless.
Jiang Yifei and Zhou Mingyang, who were the first to come out of the warehouse, were frightened and hid behind Song Xu. When they saw Lu Yao preparing to leave, they mustered up their courage and walked out. When they came to Lu Yao
, they said in unison: "Thank you so much for what you did just now." Lu Yao looked at the two of them, then glanced at Song Xu who was walking over, and shook his head indifferently: "Don't worry about it."
Song Xu also stepped forward: "Thank you very much. You saved me and An Qi last time, and this time you saved our friends."
Jiang Yifei suddenly realized: "Ah - it turned out that it was this little sister who saved you last time, Why didn't you say anything just now?"
Song Xu looked helpless: "You two have been saying 'I'm so scared' since you came out. You are so busy chatting with yourself that I can't get a word in."
Jiang Yifei smiled embarrassedly: "How can I not be excited after escaping from death? I thought we were dead. The zombie lowered its head and I could smell the stench in its mouth. I didn't expect that a sword tip would poke out of its mouth in the next second, and then half of its head was cut off."
At that time, the two of them had been in the warehouse for a while, and their eyes had almost adapted to the darkness. Their flashlights also fell to the ground, and their vision was not completely dark. They could vaguely see what was happening in front of them.
Zhou Mingyang was thinking a lot, so he interrupted Jiang Yifei and looked at Lu Yao: "Excuse me, what do you mean by running errands?"
Jiang Yifei was also interested in this matter: "Yes, yes, I was just about to ask."
Lu Yao lowered his head and took out a few flyers from the cloth bag, handing one to each person: "Three days of opening, there will be a promotion, 50% off for orders."
Zhou Mingyang and Jiang Yifei took it and read it carefully, and Song Xu also took one.
The content of the flyer was more detailed than the business card, Jiang Yifei quickly read it and began to touch her body.
Zhou Mingyang: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Yifei: "Isn't my bracelet broken? There's no place to repair it now anyway. If you can't wear it, you might as well buy two business cards."
Zhou Mingyang reminded: "Before you go out, you might as well leave it at home because you're tired."
Jiang Yifei also remembered that she liked the bracelet very much, but it was useless now that it was broken. She was afraid of losing it when she went out, so she hid it under her pillow.
Jiang Yifei felt a little disappointed for a moment: "Nowadays, everyone thinks gold is useless. I never thought it could be useful like this. I should have carried it with me earlier."
Lu Yao: "If you are sure you want to buy it, you can leave your address. Our runner will deliver the goods to your door later. You only need to pay an additional 0.2 grams of gold for the running fee."
Jiang Yifei became happy: "Buy it, buy it. When I bought that bracelet, it weighed 18 grams. It's a little damaged and worn out, but it still weighs at least 15 grams. I'll give you ten first."
Zhou Mingyang: "Isn't that too much?"
Jiang Yifei: "It's a 50% discount for the opening, so it won't matter if you stock up a few more. If we hadn't met the runner today, we would have been gone." Jiang Yifei
pulled Zhou Mingyang aside and whispered: "Besides, It is useless in gold. It cannot be eaten or used. It is better to exchange it for a few more chances to save your life. "
Lu Yao has sharp ears. Hearing this, he said: "My family's main business is running errands and transporting goods, not saving people."
Jiang Yifei looked at Lu Yao with a smile: "We will not accept orders specifically for saving people, but we will not stand idly by when we meet people who need help."
Lu Yao calmly took out a business card and a pen for errand runners from the cloth bag and handed it over: "The 50% discount is limited to one business card, and the second one will be the full price. Please confirm the number of business cards purchased and the delivery address."
The business card for errand runners is black with gold edges, and the customer needs to fill in the name, address, and quantity of goods purchased on the back.
The business card used for placing orders is the only physical product currently provided by the errand shop, and it is also the only product in the store that provides door-to-door delivery service.
Jiang Yifei happily took the business card, wrote her name and address, and filled in ten in the quantity column.
Lu Yao took it and put it in the bag, kindly reminding: "Our runner will deliver the goods to your door within an hour. Please prepare the payment in advance. It is best not to run away."
Lu Yao did not say the consequences of running away.
Jiang Yifei nodded repeatedly: "We will go back and wait immediately."
After a few minutes of delay, Zhao Xiaopeng and Feng Bing were almost done resting. Lu
Yao walked towards the electric car, and Da Liu trotted a few steps to catch up with her: "Hello." Lu Yao
turned around and looked at him: "What's the matter?"
Da Liu: "Can you give us a few flyers too?"
Lu Yao took out a stack from the bag and handed it to her.
Someone came out from behind Da Liu and said, "I want to place an order, too."
Another person pulled him over and whispered, "Do you have any gold on you?"
The man shook his head and pointed at Jiang Yifei and said, "We can learn from her. We can place an order and ask her to deliver the business card to our home. Then we can ask my wife to pay the money and write the order, and then the errand boy will come to pick us up."
This method is a little troublesome, and they have to pay an extra errand fee, but compared to taking the electric car back and dragging their exhausted bodies through the zombie-ridden city ruins for 5,000 meters, they will choose the former without hesitation.
This errand boy is also strange. He doesn't want food or water, but only gold.
Lu Yao went to see Da Liu and said, "Count the heads, and those who want to place an order, come and get the business card."
The five men gathered immediately, and the man who just started to curse hid in the back and tiptoed.
He thought Lu Yao would take the opportunity to humiliate him again, but Lu Yao handed him his business card and walked away.
The man stood there with his head down, his face suddenly flushed.
Da Liu walked over and told him to fill out his business card quickly, and then collected the delivery business cards written by several people and gave them to Lu Yao.
After everything was done, Lu Yao rode on his electric bike and left with Zhao Xiaopeng and Feng Bing.
------
In Guanyin Community, Cao Xiuhong and her husband stood at the window and looked out.
It had been almost an hour since the young man left to take a job, and there had been no news since he left.
They were anxious, but there was nothing they could do, so they could only stand by the window and wait.
The old man couldn't stand it any longer, so he walked to the sofa and sat down, patting his stiff knees with his palms.
Cao Xiuhong looked back at him, wanting to say something
but stopping herself. The old man waved his hands: "It's okay, Xiaopeng will definitely come back."
At this moment, a buzzing sound came from downstairs.
The new young man downstairs was the only one who had a car in this area, and the sound was her electric car.
Cao Xiuhong was leaning on the window and saw the black two-wheeler approaching from afar. She was so excited that she almost sprained her waist: "Old man, hurry up! I'm back, I'm back!"
Ren Juan, who was in Room 703 next door, also saw it. She was so excited that she jumped and shouted in the room. After a while of excitement, she leaned on the window again and saw that her man was sitting behind the small electric car. She opened the door and ran downstairs. She was not afraid of zombies.
Lu Yao stopped the car at the gate of Guanyin Community. He looked up and saw a woman running towards the gate of the community, followed by two zombies.
Feng Bing's face, which had just slowed down, turned pale as paper in an instant: "Juan'er, run faster, there is something behind you."
Ren Juan's face changed, and her steps quickened, not daring to look back.
Lu Yao raised his air rifle and aimed at the back of Ren Juan. The bullet flew out, brushing the flying hair on the side of the woman's face and accurately hitting the zombie's brow.
Ren Juan suddenly stopped in fear and bent down. Lu Yao took advantage of the gap and fired another shot. The other one was also hit in the head.
Hearing two muffled sounds, Ren Juan turned her head to look, and her legs and feet suddenly became limp.
Feng Bing seemed to have regained his strength and strode over to help his wife up.
Zhao Xiaopeng, carrying the supplies on his back, also walked quickly into the community, and Lu Yao followed behind.
At the door of Room 705, Unit 4, Zhao Xiaopeng was crying loudly while holding his grandpa and grandma, scaring the old lady and the eldest grandfather into thinking something had happened. After asking them carefully, they found out that they were blocked by zombies in the warehouse and almost got into trouble. Fortunately, the errand boy arrived in time.
At this time, Feng Bing and Ren Juan supported each other upstairs. Ren Juan saw Lu Yao at the door of Room 705 and ran over to thank him.
Several families in the corridor heard the noise outside and thought their men had returned. When they opened the door, they only saw Zhao Xiaopeng and Feng Bing, and there was another commotion.
Jinhua stood in the middle with a particularly complicated expression.
She was somewhat lucky. If Cao Xiuhong's grandson and Ren Juan's husband could come back, her eldest son Liu should be able to come back with them. However, she didn't expect that only the two of them would come back.
Lu Yao took out five delivery business cards from his bag and handed them to the families of the other five people according to their names, and explained the situation clearly.
Feng Bing and Zhao Xiaopeng were witnesses and could also be considered "physical evidence". The errand shop was indeed doing legitimate business, and the errand runners were skilled and could pick people out of a pile of zombies.
The five families got the order cards and asked Lu Yao about it. They immediately went back to the house to get gold jewelry and placed orders one by one.
One delivery card was 0.2 grams of gold for the errand fee, and five cards were one gram of gold.
The five families each placed an order, buying the order business cards and the errand fee, and the total was one gram of gold per person, so five people were five grams.
Lu Yao put away the business card for placing orders and went downstairs. She had received seven orders on the seventh floor, with a total income of eight grams of gold.
[Successfully complete an errand within 24 hours, mission completed! Reward popularity +100, world truth fragment +1! ]
[You have a new mission! Lu Yao's errand shop is becoming famous. Please complete 300 errands within seven days. Reward popularity 30,000 points, world truth fragment *3! ]
The system task prompt sounded immediately, and a new task was issued.
Three hundred orders in seven days seems to be a difficult task, but it is not completely impossible to complete.
It's just that the current situation in the world is special. The population density in the ten-kilometer area centered on Guanyin Community is far from the standard of a normal city, and their demand for errands may not be high.
The errand shop is a new shop, and its popularity and reputation among potential customers nearby are almost zero.
Finally, there is the issue of efficiency. Although Gaosheng City does not have the problem of rush hour traffic jams affecting errand efficiency, errand runners may encounter zombies and human/flesh/roadblocks at any time and anywhere.
Taking the two errands that Lu Yao just completed as an example, it took nearly an hour from receiving the order to safely delivering the errand objects to the destination.
It is not ideal to increase efficiency to the extreme in a short period of time. The simplest way is to increase the number of orders placed by customers and then increase the number of errand runners.
Lu Yao was calculating in his mind when he suddenly received a call from Zhang Shu.
Lu Yao wears a wish-power communicator for errand runners. Like the ghost bracelet and wish-power business card, the communicator is also based on Lu Yao's wish, and can communicate with stores and other errand runners in real time within the coverage of the wish network.
The principle of the wish-power communicator is similar to the holographic communicator in Tomorrow City. Lu Yao went to Tomorrow City and not only got everything back, but also saw a lot of interesting technologies and things.
Zhang Shu's voice came from the communicator: "Shopkeeper, Harold is just near the supermarket. The five orders for picking up people have all been assigned to Harold. There is a new order here, and you need to go."
Lu Yao: "Harold drove a small electric car to pick up five people?"
Zhang Shu: "He said he could solve it."
Lu Yao knew that Zhang Shu couldn't do anything to Harold, so he said: "Okay, I'll ask him later, you can send the new order over."
The new errand order is to go to a nearby clinic to get medicine. The customer who placed the order is named Zhang Shulan, and the destination is in the community opposite the errand shop.
Lu Yao asked the system to check the map to find a suitable route. She wanted to deliver the business card ordered by Jiang Yifei.
This order was originally intended for Harold to deliver, but he accepted the order for picking up people, so she had to go.
According to the dispatching rules, Jiang Yifei's order came before the previous one, so it was reasonable to put her in the front.
Fortunately, it was just a delivery, so it wouldn't take too much time.
Lu Yao came out of Guanyin Community and got on the car before contacting Harold.
Lu Yao: "How's the situation?"
After a while, Harold spoke: "I picked up the person, and he just left from the back of the supermarket."
Lu Yao was surprised: "Five people together?"
Harold: "Yes. When I came here, they were surrounded by zombies. Two of them were almost bitten. If they were not taken away together, they might not live to see my second visit."
Lu Yao: "...you can be more tactful."
Harold: "They are hugging each other and crying, celebrating their survival. I can't hear them."
Lu Yao: "...did you carry five people in a small electric car?"
The communicator suddenly went silent.
Lu Yao: "Hello? Talk."
Harold had no choice. His voice was obviously not as confident as before: "Oh, I'll take them to their destination first and tell you later."
Lu Yao frowned, a little worried that Harold would use magic indiscriminately, but he felt that with the ability of the little black dragon, he should not be discovered even if he used it.

Ping'an Community.
Song Xu and Tang Anqi live on the third floor, and Zhou Mingyang and Jiang Yifei are next door.
This community is not as good as Guanyin Community. The buildings are relatively old. Most of the people who lived here were elderly. When the incident broke out, they were unable to escape in time, and the entire community was empty.
Song Xu and Tang Anqi fled to this community at that time, and later found that there were relatively few residents here. Because the community was old and inconspicuous, few people looked up to it, but it saved a lot of trouble, so they stayed here.
Song Xu went to find Tang Anqi when he returned to his residence and told her about his encounter with Lu Yao.
Tang Anqi was not feeling well, and she didn't dare to sleep well at home alone, so she lay on the sofa with a quilt.
Song Xu heard that Lu Yao was running errands and saved Jiang Yifei and Zhou Mingyang. Later, he said that Jiang Yifei asked Lu Yao to buy business cards, and he would deliver them to her door later.
Tang Anqi sat up suddenly: "When did Lu Yao say he would come?"
Song Xu: "She said she would deliver it within an hour. Jiang Yifei went to look for her gold bracelet as soon as she came back. What happened?"
Tang Anqi looked at Song Xu in disbelief: "Have you ever thought that we also need to stock up a few?"
[Author's words]
Tang Anqi regretted: I didn't know the value of gold when I was young.
