190 The Tenth Store
◎Are you in KTV, kid?◎ Lu
Yao was a little surprised: "You mean zombies have developed autonomous consciousness?"
Tina shook her head: "Probably just predatory instinct. Occasionally, special individuals will appear among monsters. Mumu is a special individual among slimes. It has unique skills and an evolutionary direction different from ordinary slimes."
This discovery is a bit beyond expectations. If zombies have the possibility of evolution, the living environment of human beings will continue to deteriorate.
Not only that, how to define and view zombies in the future is also a new problem.
Lu Yao could vaguely sense a hint of confusion and turbulence: "The boundary between humans and zombies has become ambiguous, and work will be a lot more troublesome."
Tina: "Humans always have some strange ethical theories, I don't think we need to worry about this for the time being."
Lu Yao: "What do you mean?"
Tina: "Edward said in casual conversation that Mumu was born a special individual, but it was only after he met you that he gradually developed consciousness and emotions similar to humans. The evolution of consciousness is more difficult than the evolution of the body, and it must require some kind of opportunity. In my opinion, these walking puppets are still the same as the slimes, goblins, and pigmen that can be seen everywhere in the valley. Even if a special individual with special abilities suddenly appears, just defeat him."
Lu Yao was half convinced by Tina, But still had doubts.
The zombies that were just wandering around unconsciously began to gather in the direction of the crowd. Lu Yao temporarily gave up thinking and said, "Finish the work first."
Tina's eyes were cast on the people gathered in front of the store: "What about those people?"
Lu Yao: "During working hours, no matter what happens, the goal is to complete the task first. We accept the customer's order and have a responsibility to them. Things have a priority, do what should be done first, and then consider other things."
The dragon clan is born strong. Many times they can change a human's life by just raising their fingers.
But in a world without dragons, humans are almost at the top of the world.
Lu Yao did not want to run the errand shop into a "hero office". She liked to do business freely and not impose too many responsibilities on herself.
There are many dark and complicated twists and turns in the human heart. Most of the errand runners in the store are strong and enthusiastic, and they are not very old. Lu Yao can't help but worry that they will encounter irreparable troubles at work.
Repeatedly emphasize the importance of work, so that when they need to make their own judgments in the future, there will always be a principle to refer to.
Xu Hongmei and Li Heping packed up and walked towards Lu Yao and Tina.
The people in Anxia's team looked at them quietly, without stopping them or offering to help, and vaguely had the intention of watching a show. Lu
Yao asked the two to stand behind her.
Tina walked towards the glass fence.
The little sparrow that had been nesting above Lu Yao flew up and landed on Tina's shoulder.
As Tina observed the situation around the glass fence, the little sparrow made a hoarse cry from time to time.
Tina stretched out her hand forward, and the little sparrow cried excitedly.
The sparrow's voice was not crisp, but the chirping sound was particularly harsh in the suddenly quiet space.
Tina clenched her five fingers into a fist, aimed at the place where the little sparrow had just pointed out, and punched it.
Crackling -
spider web-like cracks appeared on the originally transparent wall, and large pieces of white debris fell to the ground like snow, and a black escalator appeared in the hole.
Tina pulled her hand back and shook her claws: "This place is much harder than when we first came in. It looks like it's ready to close its net." Lu Yao
walked over, reached out and took a little crumb from the edge of the hole, and crushed it in his hand: "I did feel an unnatural resistance for a moment when I came in, a bit like a spider web."
The sparrow fell back to the top of Lu Yao's head, suddenly spread its wings and flapped them vigorously, raised its neck and made a sharp and rapid cry.
Xu Hongmei and Li Heping, who were standing not far away, had their eyes widened and their pupils shrank slightly, and they took several steps back.
The Anxia team also saw the huge creature suddenly appear above Tina and Lu Yao, and they were shocked and puzzled, as if they had been hit hard.
"What is that? Is it also a zombie?"
"I've never seen zombies in this form. Even bugs can be infected with the zombie virus?"
"Things like that can still be called bugs? We are more like bugs."
...
An Xia shouted, "Up there, it's up there!"
A life-size white spider was lying on the web above Tina and Lu Yao's heads. After it appeared, the ceiling was all white, and the shelves of the surrounding shops were also full of spider silk. There were also a dozen huge white snares hanging on the ceiling. The spider
was snow-white all over, with only pits and pits on its head, like an insect shell that had rotted and dried up inside. Its two chelicerae kept trembling, and at the corner of its mouth was a half-human calf that had been drained of body fluids.
This guy had just eaten.
The leg was like a deflated balloon, with only a layer of dry skin left.
Lu Yao frowned slightly, seeing this kind of zombie for the first time.
She tapped the system: "Is this also a zombie?"
Dream System: "Yes." Lu Yao
: "It's too big."
Dream System: "Just like Tina said, this guy is a special individual among the zombies. The reason for its mutation is no longer known. I just analyzed its spider silk, which contains trace amounts of neurotoxins. When a creature comes into contact with spider silk, its visual nerves will gradually be paralyzed, making it difficult to perceive the real environment around it."
Lu Yao: "We couldn't see the exit just now, it seems that it's not just because of the poison."
Let alone Lu Yao, Tina is definitely not that easy to be poisoned.
For humans, it's just a trace amount of toxins, which takes a certain amount of time to take effect, but for dragons, it's almost nothing.
Charmander likes to eat a kind of poisonous monster that lives near the rock wall of an active volcano. Sometimes he would bring back cooked meat for Lu Yao to eat. If
a human eats that kind of meat, he needs to be very careful to remove the poison sac and skin. But
for a dragon, he doesn't need to do that. He just catches it, chops it up, and roasts it directly, eating it with the skin and bones.
Dream-Fulfilling System: "This is another characteristic of spider silk. It is almost invisible when there is light. It wrapped spider silk around the escalator, leaving only a thin layer of silk at the hole for going upstairs, so that prey can easily break through the spider web and get covered in spider silk. After the prey comes in, it quickly repairs the hole and waits for the next prey to come to its door."
Lu Yao: "For it, this mall is simply a perfect hunting place."
Dream-Fulfilling System: "It's a pity that it met us."
The zombie spider was very angry about the uninvited guest in the cafeteria, but its attack method was very simple. It jumped down from the spider web with its chelicerae spread to both sides, aiming at Lu Yao who was standing right below it.
The speed of the zombie spider was much faster than that of an ordinary zombie. It was only three or four meters away and it was close in the blink of an eye.
Lu Yao saw the hairs on its claws and smelled a rotten stench. He couldn't help but lower his head and vomit.
In a flash, Tina punched the zombie spider in the head, knocking its head flying. She held Lu Yao with one hand and stepped back, kicking the falling spider body away.
The little fire dragon was so powerful that the spider's remains flew dozens of meters and hit the sign of the opposite store, just like a rotten tomato falling on the ground, and the juice bursting all over the ground.
The errand runners and the Anxia team behind them were dumbfounded, keeping a stiff posture, and could not speak for half a minute.
Lu Yao took out an alcohol wipe from his bag and handed it to Tina: "Wipe your hands."
The spider web at the escalator entrance shattered, and the escalator that had disappeared reappeared.
Zhao Ye stood at the escalator entrance: "Solved?"
Tina nodded: "A little monster that is a little stronger than Slime." Lu
Yao was calling Xu Hongmei and Li Heping to follow him and was about to go out. When he heard this, he turned around and said: "Mommy will cry when she hears it."
Tina: "Mommy is different."
After coming out of the Golden Building, the sun shone on their faces. Xu Hongmei and Li Heping came back to their senses from the shock. The emotions of surviving a disaster surged up, and the two of them almost cried with their heads in their hands.
The electric car of Lu Yao's team was parked on the roadside outside the square, about three hundred meters away.
Zhao Ye and Tina helped to carry the travel bags, Xu Hongmei and Li Heping supported each other and prepared to leave.
There was a sound of footsteps behind them, and An Xia's team chased out.
After the spider zombies were cleared, the sixth floor was no longer a special space, and it could not trap this group of people.
An Xia stood at the door and shouted to Tina: "Red-haired sister, wait a minute." Lu Yao and his party
stopped and looked back.
The people of An Xia's team quickly caught up, and An Xia and Xie Yu walked in front.
An Xia walked past Lu Yao and Zhao Ye and walked in front of Tina: "You are very powerful, do you want to go with us to the Hope Base in Jin Yao City. With your ability, you can become the captain if you join the team."
Xie Yu looked at Lu Yao's face awkwardly.
They really didn't expect that Tina, who looked young, was so powerful, like a professionally trained person.
Just now upstairs, the sharpness she exuded was exactly the same as that of the white-haired instructor in the base.
Coincidentally, their instructor also had a pair of eyes as red as the blood moon.
After the spider zombie was defeated, they hurriedly looted some supplies upstairs,
and An Xia said that she wanted to dig the red-haired sister to the base, so they chased out. The short-haired girl next to her was indeed ordinary compared to Tina, and there was no value in pulling her over, but she was obviously the one with the say in the three-person team, and An Xia's approach was too tough.
Zhao Ye glanced at Lu Yao, frowned and glared at An Xia.
The little sparrows that had landed in his hair and on his shoulders also had bright eyes and chirped with their pointed beaks.
Others didn't understand, but Lu Yao knew these naughty little guys too well. He raised his hand to gently pat the back of Shi Ye, and then reached out to rub the head of a little sparrow on his shoulder.
Tina's expression remained unchanged, and she asked curiously, "What is the Hope Base?"
An Xia immediately introduced the various benefits of the Hope Base, "The Hope Base is the largest doomsday camp in Jin Yao City. As long as you contribute 50 grams of food, you can get a residence permit. The base regularly distributes food and water to ensure the minimum survival needs, as well as a safe residence. Our base has the most powerful instructor in Jin Yao City, and ordinary people trained by him can join the search team. If you go back with us, you can be the team leader without training."
Tina waited for her to finish before shaking her head, "Thank you for your invitation. It sounds like being a runner is more interesting, and I don't need water or food, and I don't feel unsafe."
"..." An Xia thought that Tina might not agree immediately, but she didn't expect her to speak so directly, devaluing the conditions she proposed.
An Xia was a little annoyed, but Tina's ability made it impossible for her to lose her temper directly. She glanced at Lu Yao and Zhao Ye, suppressed her impatience, and relaxed the conditions again: "Let's put it this way, if you are willing to go to Hope Base with me, we agree to take your two companions with you."
Zhao Ye immediately said: "I have already recognized the master, and I will not go anywhere except with the owner." When
the people in An Xia's team heard this, their eyes became strange, and they glanced between Lu Yao and Zhao Ye, with an expression of eating a big melon.
Who knew that Tina also said: "I have also signed a symbiotic contract with the owner, and I want to protect her until she dies. Since you already have powerful people in your base, I am afraid you don't need me."
The people in An Xia's team looked at Lu Yao with more and more strange eyes.
Is this girl a KTV kid? She is still recognizing the master and signing a contract. It's really a headache, as if she has not graduated from middle school.
Lu Yao received a call from Zhang Shu at this time, saying that Harold's team encountered some trouble while running errands.
She was concentrating on listening to the report over there, and didn't pay attention to what Tina and Zhao Ye were talking about.
The Dream-Fulfilling System heard it, but didn't remind Lu Yao.
Anyway, it's not a big deal, but Harold seems to have some trouble.
After Harold's team finished running errands for Tang Anqi and Jiang Yifei, they returned to Ping'an Community.
Harold has matured a lot. Si Jin and Qiu Yu were so angry when they were scolded, but he persuaded the two little dragons to go to Ping'an Community to continue taking orders.
The three little dragons sold more than 20 business cards in Ping'an Community, and when they were officially preparing to run errands, problems suddenly occurred.
Some residents contacted several households upstairs and downstairs to act like scoundrels. There were nearly 20 people from five households, and they told Harold that they were relatives. They also bargained and wanted to use only two business cards to let Harold's team transport all the people and more than a dozen suitcases to a safe place.
Harold firmly refused.
But there were old people and children in the several families gathered together. Three or four old people sat on the ground and beat the ground in pain, and the children hugged Harold's legs and cried loudly.
Because of Lu Yao's instructions, the three-headed dragon didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
The veins on the back of Harold's hands bulged, and he resisted the urge to throw the child hugging his legs away.
The residents of the units next door and opposite who bought business cards were packing their luggage. They heard the commotion and came out to watch. Si Jin and Qiu Yu crossed their arms and suppressed the anger in their hearts.
Ignore this group of scoundrels for fear of affecting other guests' views of them; pinch your nose and compromise. The three-headed dragon has never been so humiliated before, and his lungs are about to explode just thinking about it.
After understanding the situation, Lu Yao went to talk to Harold directly.
"It's me." Harold's voice was very low, and his emotions were extremely irritable, but he tried his best to restrain himself so that Lu Yao wouldn't hear it.
Lu Yao said directly: "Reclaim the business cards, and don't accept orders from these five families. Return the gold collected, and give each of them an additional five grams of gold as compensation. Just say that the store is not capable enough to provide satisfactory services to customers, and we are deeply sorry for this."
Harold didn't expect Lu Yao to say this at all. The depression in his heart suddenly dissipated, and he couldn't help but confirm: "Will doing this affect the store's reputation?"
Lu Yao smiled lightly: "Doing business is not always a win-win situation. Sometimes you have to accept some losses. Besides, this little thing won't affect anything. It's better to say that tolerating such people will affect the business of the store in the future. The job of an errand runner is to run errands, which does not include bearing unreasonable demands and moral kidnapping from customers. Do it boldly without too much worry."
Lu Yao hung up the call and looked up to find that everyone was looking at her. Lu Yao
: "There is a little trouble with Harold, and it has been dealt with. What's the deal? If there is nothing else, we will continue to work."
An Xia's expression was complicated.
Tina nodded: "Let's go."
Xie Yu suddenly said: "Were you contacting someone far away just now?"
[Author's words]
Note: Spiders are not insects.
Useless little setting: This world will not add supernatural elements, but zombies have the possibility of evolution.
Useless little tips: The silver-haired little A who is separated from the two worlds is about to return.
