196 The Tenth Store
◎Don't make a mistake.◎
On the way to the hospital, the search team suffered heavy losses, including the captain of the seventh team, Chen Xin, and dozens of team members. Three of the team members who stayed in the car to guard the supplies also died.
Those three people were all good at fighting. If they hadn't had any bad intentions, they would have stayed in the car and nothing would have happened. Now it's too late to say anything.
The rest of the people haven't recovered from the great joy of surviving the disaster. They are quite excited. Led by An Xia and Xie Yu, they look at Lu Yao's team with bright eyes.
Li Mi and Xia Huaisong, who stayed in the car, also got out of the car and stood behind the crowd. They had just been listening to the team members talking about their thrilling experiences in the hospital.
The team members talked most about the errand runners. Li Mi and Xia Huaisong both thought of the flyer they picked up. When they heard them talk about how Lu Yao swept the place with a sword and led them out of the zombie tide, they couldn't imagine the scene. It was too exaggerated.
They just listened silently and didn't join their topic.
Xia Huaisong heard that Chen Xin was bitten and didn't come out with the main force, so he looked at Li Mi.
Li Mi noticed his gaze, blinked, and lowered her head.
She knew what Xia Huaisong wanted to say, but even if Chen Xin died, she couldn't be relieved.
Because there would be Li Xin, Zhang Xin, and Zhao Xin. Her life had been completely ruined the moment the zombie virus came.
Lu Yao was pushed forward by Lu Mingxiao, and walked onto the road in front of everyone's gaze. He asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Several young team members couldn't help but get excited, and ran up to chat with him.
"I didn't expect to be able to come out alive, you're really amazing!"
"I really thought I was going to die this time, there were so many zombies, and mutants, thank you so much!"
"Are all errand runners so amazing? How did you think of opening a store? If we go to the base together, we can have a good development."
As they chatted, the team members began to reveal their selfishness.
The last time An Xia and Xie Yu invited Tina and Lu Yao, they were not so enthusiastic.
At that time, they only thought that Tina was amazingly strong, but now they only thought that the errand runners were monsters.
They didn't understand where this group of people came from, but if they could recruit them all to the base, it would be so reliable and reassuring.
Compared with the excited team members who were a little incoherent, Lu Yao's reaction was very calm.
Lu Yao: "We are also happy to complete the work smoothly."
Because it was too official, it was even a bit disappointing.
Xie Yu pushed An Xia forward and thanked her with a smile: "Anyway, thank you very much."
An Xia still felt a little awkward in her heart. Compared with the previous contempt for the store owner as an ordinary person, she didn't want to admit that someone was so ridiculously strong.
They were both girls, and the other party looked about the same age as her, and was not affiliated with the base or any organization.
An Xia thanked him awkwardly, but Lu Yao didn't say anything.
The mission was over, the money and goods were exchanged, and they could leave after a few pleasantries.
They hoped that the base would not be within the scope of Gaosheng City, as there would be very few opportunities for them to meet again in the future. Lu Yao was also a little tired and didn't have much energy to continue dealing with it.
An Xia lowered her eyes to look at the knife sheath on Lu Yao's leg: "Your weapon is very special, not an ordinary fruit knife." Lu Yao
was about to go riding a bike, but didn't understand: "Ah?"
An Xia raised her head: "Can you tell us the supply point where we can get this knife?"
Xie Yu's face changed instantly, and he pulled An Xia's clothes hard from behind.
An Xia impatiently pushed away, took a step forward, and stood in front of Lu Yao: "There are many people in our base. In order to maintain basic survival, the search team needs to go out every day to find supplies, and often encounter dangerous situations like today. If our team members can also be equipped with such good weapons, the survival rate will definitely be greatly improved. I am really sorry if I make you feel embarrassed. I apologize to you first."
Dream-fulfilling system: "What does she mean? Why don't I hear any swear words, but I just feel so unhappy."
The mayor of tomorrow thought about it a little, but human thinking, emotions and expressions are too complicated, and it still cannot fully understand the human language art.
All don't understand, but others do.
Without waiting for Lu Yao to reply, Lu Mingxiao said directly: "Don't ask about her knife. What she can use, not everyone can use."
An Xia didn't understand why Lu Mingxiao was suddenly with the store owner.
The instructor was a lone ranger in the base. Outside of training time, he was not seen at all except when he took the initiative to find others.
Unlike most of the people who struggled to survive in the base, the instructor was arrogant, indifferent and strong. He was highly respected in the base, but he had no interest in women, power and fame. He was like a dummy.
But one day the dummy suddenly had a heart, just like a dry river welcoming the moisture of mountain springs, and even tender green grass leaves and small flowers began to emerge on the shore. People who stare at the river but fail to attract mountain springs to the river will inevitably feel resentful.
An Xia's suppressed emotions were instantly ignited. When she met Lu Mingxiao's calm eyes, she suppressed them again: "Instructor, I am also thinking about the search team. If the team members can have such sharp and compact weapons, it will be convenient for them to go out on missions. Now that mutant zombies have appeared, we must also find a way to update our equipment, otherwise it will be more dangerous to go out in the future."
Zhao Ye finally understood what An Xia was saying and immediately retorted. "Why don't you figure out how to update your equipment? Why do you rely on the store owner? The mutant zombies weren't created by the store owner. Don't make it sound like we're guilty of not giving them the equipment. Besides, this set of swords was made by the big sister Qiuyu herself and given to the store owner. We, the store employees, made the weapons at our own expense, so there's no resource point at all."
The little bird demon didn't give any face at all, and made a plain and easy-to-understand commentary on the human language art.
After listening to it, everyone suddenly understood.
The search team members were really moved when they heard An Xia mention the resource point of the knife.
If An Xia hadn't said it, they wouldn't have thought of this.
But since he said he made the knife himself, everyone was curious about how he could make such a sharp blade, out of consideration for human feelings/reason, no one mentioned the knife again.
In most people's minds, Lu Yao did not just complete a few errands, but saved their lives.
They placed orders at the errand shop, but the team members knew that even in peacetime, that little bit of gold was far from worth a life.
Seeing An Xia's pale face, Lu Yao walked around them and walked towards the electric car, bypassing them.
An Xia wanted to say something, but was held down by Xie Yu.
She stamped her feet hard, lowered her head and bit her lips, unwilling to give up. Lu
Yao walked to the side of the electric car, waved to Lu Mingxiao and Zhao Ye, and said goodbye to the search team politely: "I'm leaving first. I wish you a safe journey."
Everyone saw Lu Mingxiao also walking across the street, and suddenly panicked.
When they were trapped in the hospital, the instructor did say something like "let's go together", but the situation was critical at the time and no one took it seriously.
Now they found that the instructor really planned to leave, and they were panicked.
An Xia's eyes widened in disbelief: "Instructor, you want to go with her?"
Lu Mingxiao didn't say anything extra, just "hmm".
Lu Mingxiao has never been good at dealing with humans, and most of the time he finds it troublesome.
He was originally waiting for Lu Yao at the Hope Base, but unfortunately the store address was not chosen in the base.
Lu Mingxiao came out this time just to find Lu Yao, and went to the logistics director of the base to explain the situation, but he was forced to stuff several cars with people, and he was asked to lead a team to search for supplies.
Lu Mingxiao knew very well that some humans only listened to what they wanted to hear, so he didn't waste any more words.
Anyway, when he was about to leave, no one could stop him.
Lu Yao had discovered this before, and often asked him to express his thoughts seriously.
At that time, with her supervision, Lu Mingxiao's tense relationship with humans (one-sided) had a period of easing, but now it has simply returned to its original state.
Now even Lu Yao has forgotten those past events, and no one is nagging him to "get along well with the people around him".
The search team members were shocked and could not accept the reality that the instructor had left the team directly. Even Li Mi and Xia Huaisong who were hiding behind the crowd were shocked.
The instructor is leaving, who will train the new team members in the future?
Who will organize when going to an important supply point with dense zombies? Who will lead the team?
An Xia shook off Xie Yu, ran forward in a few steps, disregarding her image and safety, and shouted loudly: "Just for her, you don't care about us? Do you have any sense of responsibility?"
Lu Mingxiao turned around and met An Xia's annoyed and disappointed eyes, a little confused: "Don't get it wrong, I have never..."
A soft hand reached out, Lu Mingxiao turned around, his red eyes like a deep well trembled slightly, like rain falling on a calm lake, instantly causing ripples.
Lu Yao smiled faintly and shook her head at him, then pulled him to sit in the back seat. When she was about to leave, she turned around with a smug look on her face and said, "This guy is my type. I'll take him home as my boyfriend. Please find a new instructor." "
Woo-woo-woo--
two small electric vehicles started slowly, drove into the night like the wind, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
The instructor really left.
------
Zombies are more active at night, and waves of zombies appear on the road from time to time. For the sake of safety, Lu Yao took Zhao Ye to take a detour, and it took 20 minutes to get back to Guanyin Road from Wan Yi Hospital.
Harold, Qiuyu, Sijin and Tina have all returned to the store, but have not left yet. They are sitting in a row under the eaves waiting for Lu Yao to come back.
There is a light at the door of the errand shop, and the college student next door is using the light to install the door.
They found brand new materials in the abandoned building materials market during the day. The goods in the building materials market are not the first choice for most people to collect supplies in troubled times. There are many warehouses on that street, which are full of useful and good materials.
Tang Anqi's team discussed and decided to replace the original broken glass door of the residence, and then install a rolling door on the outside to improve safety.
They selected suitable materials in the warehouse, packed up the tools and small parts they needed, and then used their business cards to place an order for errands, asking the errand runners to help them transport the materials from the market back to Guanyin Road.
However, none of the four had any experience, and they had no tools to search online, so they could only figure it out on their own. They worked back and forth for most of the day, and were still screwing in the rolling door.
Lu Yao took Lu Mingxiao and Zhao Ye back to the store, and greeted them as he passed by.
Several college students looked at the silver-haired young man who was following the store owner with curiosity.
Lu Yao introduced: "This is... the new errand boy in the store."
Jiang Yifei blurted out: "Shopkeeper, do we first look at the appearance of the errand boys in our store?"
Lu Yao laughed: "Of course not! Handsome men and beautiful women are so pleasing to the eyes?"
The four little dragons sat under the eaves, squinted their eyes almost at the same time, and said in unison: "That man looks familiar."
Qiu Yu turned his head in surprise: "You think so too?"
Si Jin: "The hair and eyes are especially like someone who died not long ago."
Tina nodded: "But this man is much younger than Carlos."
Qiu Yu was surprised: "Who is Carlos?"
Tina: "Who do you think he looks like just now?"
Qiuyu: "The Demon Lord Zeyuan who died in the God-Slaying War a few months ago. They don't look much alike, but the eyes and the earrings are exactly the same as the Demon Lord."
Harold: "Every time Lu Yao opens a new store, he will meet a man with silver hair and red eyes. I'm used to it."
High Priest Carlos is mature and handsome, Demon Lord Zeyuan is heroic and brave, and Lu Mingxiao himself looks younger than those two skins, with messy hair and eyebrows, delicate and handsome features. It's almost impossible to tell his gender just by looking at his face. His temperament is between youth and elegance, and there is a sense of indifference that keeps people away from him.
But when he walks with Lu Yao, he seems to be no different from Song Xu and Tang Anqi, Zhou Mingyang and Jiang Yifei.
Zhao Ye fell into the trap because he did not follow the owner's instructions. He kept reflecting on the way back. When he arrived at the door of the store, he was still silently reviewing today's mistakes in his mind. Hearing several people say that Lu Mingxiao looked familiar, he immediately joined the topic: "I also think he might be the reincarnation of the Demon King. The owner told people that he wanted him to do... wuwuwu——"
Zhao Ye was unable to say the most shocking topic, and Lu Yao covered the little bird demon's mouth from behind. , and whispered in his ear: "Little bird loves to chew its tongue, it may lose its tongue."
Zhao Ye thought of a dish he had seen on the Internet a few days ago, called "Queshe", and said in horror: "Wuwuwuwuwuwu (I got the wrong owner) - Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu (Don't pull out my tongue) -"
Lu Yao let go of his hand and called the clerk back to the store. He had to report on the day's work before leaving work.
Without the dozen or so errands that Lu Yao took at the hospital, the four little dragons ran a total of 23 orders during the day, and delivered two business cards.
A total of 59 business cards were sold that day.
When Lu Yao was out delivering goods, Zhang Shulan, who lived in the opposite community, came to the store to pick up a few business cards.
She seemed to be coming back from a trip and stocked up a few while passing by.
With the current situation in this city, the errand shop has just been open for two days, and it is actually quite good to have a stable business of more than 20 orders a day.
Lu Yao is optimistic about the current business situation of the store, but this amount of orders is still not enough to complete the system tasks within the time limit.
Lu Yao: "Today I went to areas more than ten kilometers away twice, and those streets were not as lively as those near Guanyin Road. In areas more than thirty kilometers away, near the suburbs, the number of zombies has greatly decreased. There are some residents around, and they don't seem to go out much, so they may not have much demand for errands. There are loopholes in my initial idea. For the long-term development of the store, I need to supplement it and formulate a new plan."
[Author's words]
Crazy little drama: Zhao Ye returned to the Internet cafe after get off work and saw the newly appointed young Demon Lord quietly hiding in the corner playing games. He walked behind him and watched for a long time.
In a large-scale team battle, the Demon Lord easily took four kills, and the enemy had only one top laner with a sliver of health left.
Zhao Ye suddenly leaned over and whispered in the Demon Lord's ear: "You are going to have a stepfather."
Mo Bao's hand trembled, and his skills were wasted.
Mobao: "???"
