182 The Tenth Store
◎ "How can I get in to get the medicine without clearing the roadblocks?"◎
The Dream Fulfilling System planned a most time-saving route according to Lu Yao's needs. It takes five minutes to deliver the business card from Guanyin Road to Ping'an Community, and it takes two minutes to get to the target clinic.
The errand system can also provide the best route instructions for errand runners based on the map. Lu Yao has the Dream Fulfilling System, so he didn't use it.
Jiang Yifei filled in a very detailed address. Lu Yao accurately found the unit and floor of the building where they were. He knocked on the door, and it opened in just a few seconds, as if they were waiting behind the door.
Jiang Yifei was very happy to see Lu Yao, and she pulled her into the house directly.
There were four people in the house, in addition to Jiang Yifei and Zhou Mingyang, Song Xu and Tang Anqi were also there.
Lu Yao greeted her and took out a stack of business cards tied with rubber bands and placed in a cowhide envelope from his cloth bag: "Ten business cards, 50% off for the first one, regular price for the other nine, plus 0.2 grams of gold for errands, a total of 4 grams of gold."
Jiang Yifei took out a bracelet and handed it over.
Lu Yao took out a gold-eating Pixiu from his bag, and the Pixiu grabbed the broken end of the bracelet, ate it in, bit off a piece and swallowed it.
Lu Yao returned the remaining half of the gold chain to Jiang Yifei: "OK."
Jiang Yifei was surprised: "This cash register is so cute."
Zhou Mingyang was a little skeptical: "You only collected four grams of gold?"
Lu Yao nodded: "If it's all right, I'll leave first."
Tang Anqi called her: "Lu Yao, we also want to buy a few business cards."
Lu Yao: "Okay."
Tang Anqi didn't have much gold on her, so she only bought five, paying a total of 1.8 grams of gold.
Lu Yao walked out the door, and the Dream Fulfillment System reminded her that someone upstairs was looking upstairs, as if spying on them.
Lu Yao returned to the room and asked the four people: "Is this community crowded?"
Tang Anqi and Song Xu first settled in Ping'an Community, and later met Jiang Yifei and Zhou Mingyang. They knew the situation nearby better.
Tang Anqi: "There were not many people at the beginning, but recently people have moved in one after another. The houses here are not very good, and there are no gates at the door. It doesn't look very safe. Generally speaking, there are not many people."
Lu Yao: "I want to ask you a favor."
Tang Anqi blinked, thought for a moment, and agreed.
Lu Yao took out two stacks of flyers from the errand shop from his bag: "I want you to distribute these flyers in this community. The reward is a business card for placing an order."
Tang Anqi took the flyers but didn't take the business card: "It's just a small thing, why do you need such a high reward. This community is not big, it will take less than an hour to distribute them."
Lu Yao didn't bring anything else with him. There were some snacks in his portable warehouse, but they were not easy to take out.
She didn't like to owe people favors. After thinking for a while, she said: "It's different now than before. You may encounter danger if you go out casually. I can't let you work for nothing. How about this, if you come to Guanyin Road, come to my store and I will give you two boxes of supplies."
Song Xu clapped his hands: "This is good."
Jiang Yifei and Zhou Mingyang also agreed.
They all have business cards for placing orders, so they are not rare for the time being.
It’s different with supplies, no matter if it’s food or daily necessities, no matter how much you stockpile, it’s never too much.
This incident also indirectly proves that Lu Yao is not short of supplies, and all the various encounters they had with her can be explained.
After a few more minutes of delay in Ping’an Community, Lu Yao went downstairs and rode his bike, and found that the front tire of the car seemed to have moved a little.
Dream-Fulfilling System: "Yes, when you were talking upstairs, someone wanted to steal the car, but it didn’t move."
Lu Yao looked back at the residential building behind him, squatted down to take off the special sticker engraved with a magic circle, and rode away: "When the world gets bad, small electric cars have become hot commodities."
Dream-Fulfilling System: "Your car is new, and it’s parked on the side of the road, so it’s natural that people will want to pay attention to it." Lu Yao:
"Come to think of it, I haven’t seen anyone driving or riding a car before . "
Dream-fulfilling system: "Most of the city has lost power, and a small electric car like yours is hard to sustain. The situation is similar for cars and sports cars. Otherwise, they don't have the means like you, and their means of transportation are easily stolen."
Lu Yao: "But they don't have the key, so they can't drive it after being stolen, and now they can't cash it in."
The dream-fulfilling system couldn't think of a new argument, so it could only say: "... I guess they are just perverts."

No. 198, Ping'an Road, the third outpatient clinic of the Municipal People's Hospital.
Zhang Shulan was locked in the abandoned physical examination room on the right side of the lobby on the first floor, with her hands tied behind her back. Her hairband was lost while she was trying to escape. Her hair was scattered and her cheeks were red and swollen. She had just been slapped several times.
Zhang Shulan struggled to sit up with her forehead propped up on the ground, full of fear and despair.
She came to the clinic to find medicine, but she didn't expect to meet a sheep trader. She
didn't eat well during this period. Sometimes, in order to save a piece of solid alcohol, she would eat leftovers that had not been stored overnight at night. It was hot or not, which adults could bear, but children couldn't.
Lin Shanshan started to have diarrhea last night and had a fever in the middle of the night.
Zhang Shulan searched through the medicine box at home and found some symptomatic medicines to feed her.
After a night, the child's fever did not subside.
She was anxious, and seeing that the child was unconscious due to the fever, she decided to take the risk and go out to find medicine.
It turned out that there were many chain pharmacies on Guanyin Road, and the competition between them was very fierce. In
the early days of the zombie virus outbreak, these big pharmacies made a lot of money.
Even though they knew that ordinary alcohol, disinfectant, anti-inflammatory powder, and yellow gauze would have no effect on the wounds bitten by zombies, a large number of people still crowded into the pharmacy to grab these items.
Later, when more and more people were infected with the zombie virus and there seemed to be more zombies than living people, the city fell.
The pharmacy was squeezed and collapsed, the shelves were knocked down, the medicines were scattered all over the ground, and then trampled into ruins by the vast swarm of zombies. Now not even a piece of medicine residue can be found.
Zhang Shulan thought for a long time before she made up her mind to try her luck in the clinic. After all, it was a regular outpatient department, larger than a small pharmacy. If she was lucky, she might be able to find some special medicine for fever.
But she didn't expect that some people would take advantage of this mentality and deliberately squat near the clinic. Once a suitable target is alone, they will rush up and catch it.
Sheep traders specifically target women and children. Before the outbreak of the zombie virus, most of these people appeared in rural areas with backward economic development and information isolation. After the outbreak of the zombie virus, even this group of people began to wander openly in different city ruins, specifically looking for those lonely women and children who lost their families.
Their methods and thoughts are now worse than before, like ghosts who have completely walked out of hell, and they do not hide their stench and sin at all.
This group of people will take the captured women to crowded settlements, and then use them to earn supplies from those generous men.
The first time Zhang Shulan was caught and escaped, she had nowhere to run, so she turned around and ran into the outpatient building, climbing up the stairs.
There were a large number of bedridden patients in the outpatient department, but they failed to escape and were soon infected with the virus and turned into zombies, wandering around the building.
With zombies in front and pursuers behind, Zhang Shulan hid in an abandoned consultation room in a panic, found a pen in the desk, and hurriedly took out the business card to place an order.
She was panicked at the time, but her mind was extremely clear. She was worried that the runner would not accept the order to save people, so she deliberately wrote only "get medicine" and did not mention anything else.
In order to delay as much time as possible, she hid the business card for placing the order close to her body, left the office, and continued to hide in the building until she was completely caught, beaten, and finally sent to this room.
Zhang Shulan sat up and moved to the corner with her knees. She wanted to find a place to gain leverage.
When she ran away just now, she was too scared and just wanted someone to come and save her.
After being beaten and being molested by those beasts in the name of searching her body, Zhang Shulan could imagine what kind of ending was waiting for her. She suddenly regretted writing the card for placing the order.
Zhang Shulan was afraid that it was Lu Yao who came to pick her up, and the girl who saved her once would definitely become the target of this group of people.
Zhang Shulan once saw a fight at the door of the errand shop from the upstairs of her residence. The boy was obviously the more fierce fighter at the time. The girl was also skilled, but she looked much weaker.
If it was the girl who came to rescue her, Zhang Shulan was worried that she would not be able to beat these beasts and would be humiliated by them.
Zhang Shulan deeply regretted not thinking clearly when placing the order. Instead of coming here to rescue her, she might as well ask the errand boy to go home to see her daughter.
It was useless to regret now. She just wanted to tear up the card, maybe it would stop the errand boy from coming here.
In the corner of the room, there was a girl with her hands tied. She looked to be in her early twenties, curled up in the corner with empty eyes.
Zhang Shulan's hands and feet were tied up, so it was difficult for her to gain leverage. She tried many times but failed to get the card hidden in the small pocket she sewed inside her coat pocket.
She looked at the girl, panting: "Can you - help me?"
The girl leaned against the wall, her eyes were dark, as if she didn't hear, didn't respond, and didn't move.
Zhang Shulan tried to move towards the girl, her knees were rubbed sore, she wanted to persuade the girl to help.
Unfortunately, the other party was completely indifferent to her actions and words.
At this moment, Zhang Shulan heard the familiar sound of an electric car engine, her heart turned cold, and she almost couldn't breathe.
She had no choice but to pray in her heart that the boy in black was the one who came to save her.
At the outpatient department gate, Lu Yao saw a shabby white van parked at the gate from a distance. He stopped at the roadside from a distance and did not get out immediately.
Dream Fulfillment System: "There are two men in the car, hiding in the co-pilot seat and the back seat respectively. Two are squatting on the side facing the hospital gate, and there are two in the main entrance of the clinic."
Lu Yao frowned: "What's going on? Is someone setting this up?"
Dream Fulfillment System: "There are two women in the first room on the right side of the corridor on the first floor of the hospital. Their hands and feet are tied up and they can't move normally."
Lu Yao: "That means they are not specifically targeting me, It's for those who come here to look for medical supplies. I roughly know what they want to do. "
Dream-fulfilling system: "I have seen such people in the world of Enlightenment. Such people will be thrown into horror games by Enlightenment and tortured madly." Lu Yao
got out of the car and squatted to put insurance on the electric car. The air/rifle had been put into the portable storage. It was not convenient to take it out in public at this time. She had to take out the short sword from the cloth bag on her back.
Lu Yao took out both swords, one in the left hand and one in the right hand.
The Dream Fulfilling System reminds: "This time the errand task is to get medicine."
Lu Yao: "I know. How can I get medicine without clearing the roadblocks?"
Dream Fulfilling System: "...Then do you have the courage to chop them?"
Lu Yao: "Do you doubt my determination?"
Dream Fulfilling System: "I clearly prepared myself mentally for several days before chopping zombies, and even opened a holographic training ground to practice."
Lu Yao: "I didn't hesitate to chop zombies, let alone a few beasts."
[Author's words]
First of all, the world background setting is relatively cruel, and some more sharp plots will be set up. There are many bad guys, but there are also many ordinary people who are trying to survive.
If in this background, only the dedication spirit of "I am good to you and everyone is good" is shown, the basic setting will lose its meaning.
