211 Ten stores linked
◎Key points are considered as words. ◎
Li Zui stood at the window for a long time without moving. Heavy footsteps were heard outside the warehouse door. Several team members were anxious and called him in a low voice.
"Captain, Captain!"
Li Zui raised his head with a strange look on his face.
The team member asked, "What happened to the paper?"
Li Zui lowered his head and looked for a while. Suddenly he took off his backpack and searched for it. Finally he found a pen in a very small zipper inner pocket.
Just as he was about to write, Li Zui raised his head and looked at several team members at the door: "Who of you has gold on you?"
The team members didn't know what happened to the captain suddenly, and shook their heads in confusion.
In the past, Green Ant City was a tourist city, and there were many stalls selling gold jewelry in the scenic area.
Their country is famous for its rich gold production.
Compared with other regions, gold is a relatively common precious metal, and people also like gold jewelry.
However, after the outbreak of the zombie virus, the value of gold quickly dropped, and now it has become useless.
A 20-gram gold necklace can't even be exchanged for a pack of cookies. Except for commemorative jewelry, most people don't wear gold, let alone people like them who go out to risk their lives, and they will not wear those useless jewelry.
The team member asked again: "Captain, what's wrong with you?"
Li Zui raised the flyer in his hand: "This may be our last chance, but the transaction requires gold."
Li Zui handed the flyer to the team members. The light in the room was dim, so he took it back and stood under the window and read it again in a low voice.
The team members had different expressions.
"It's too fake that a runner will come if you place an order on a piece of paper."
"Captain, I think you've lost your mind."
"And the runner doesn't want food, water and life-saving supplies, but useless gold. This is too ridiculous."
At this time, a crisp voice suddenly rang out: "It's not a scam. I came here to deliver flyers because I saw you were so pitiful. If you don't believe me, I can't do anything."
Everyone looked up and was surprised to find that half a head appeared on the ventilation window. The boy had his hands on the iron railing of the window, his eyes were very bright.
Li Zui reacted the fastest: "Did you call the sparrow?"
This description seemed inaccurate, but Li Zui was not in the mood to think about the wording.
Without waiting for Zhao Ye to speak, dozens of little sparrows landed silently, some on the windowsill, some on Zhao Ye's shoulders, on his hair, with their heads tilted, their round little eyes looking in, inexplicably carrying a sense of playfulness and mischief.
This scene was magical and incredible to everyone in the warehouse.
Compared with the ferocious mutant zombies, the little sparrows with big eyes were so much cuter that they didn't seem scary in their hearts.
Li Zui looked down at the flyer in his hand again and murmured in a low voice: "But we don't have gold."
A team member felt inside his clothes and took out a ring wrapped in toilet paper and inlaid with a square jade ring face from his inner pocket.
"Captain, you can use this ring."
Li Zui: "This ring..."
Team member: "My dad left it to me. I wanted to keep it as a souvenir. But it doesn't matter. It's a dead object. My dad will be happier if it can save his life."
Li Zui let out a long breath, took the ring from the team member, thanked him with a heavy heart, squatted down and leaned against the wall, and placed an order on the back of the flyer.
Li Zui is a careful person. Before coming, he paid attention to the nearby road signs and the signs at the warehouse door, and he did not encounter any obstacles when writing down the address.
Less than thirty seconds after the customer placed the order, Zhaoye received the delivery order from the system.
He took out a business card from the cloth bag, delivered the goods with one hand and collected the payment with the other.
After processing, Zhaoye prepared to leave with his sparrow brothers.
Li Zui was panicked: "You're just leaving? Not saving us?"
Zhao Ye: "I'm just a deliveryman. If you want to call an errand boy, use your business card to place an order, and an errand boy will come to pick you up in a while."
There was no other sound behind the wall, and Li Zui had no choice but to use his business card to place an order again.
He wrote down the address and errand requirements on the business card, and waited tremblingly, not knowing whether the order would be accepted or whether an errand boy would really come.
The danger was approaching, and every minute and every second was stretched infinitely.
After an unknown amount of time, a sound came from the ventilation window above the wall again.
"Are you the customers who placed orders for errands?"
Li Zui raised his head: "Who are you?"
Qiu Yu: "I'm Qiu Yu, the number three errand runner in the errand shop. I'm here to pick you up. How many of you are there in total? Let's settle the bill first."
Someone in the team murmured in a low voice: "Why do we have to settle the bill first? Who knows if you will run away after taking the money?"
Qiu Yu didn't get angry when he heard it: "This is the rule of the shop. After all, the world is not good now. Who knows if you will pay the bill after saving people? Although we have no shortage of means to collect debts, the business in the shop is really busy and we don't want to waste time to bother."
Li Zui heaved a sigh of relief when he saw someone coming. Although he was a little surprised that it was a young girl, he immediately said, "There are five of us in total. There are more than a dozen ordinary zombies in the warehouse, and there is also a mutant zombie that is significantly faster than ordinary zombies and has strong attack power."
Qiuyu took out the gold-eating Pixiu from his bag and said, "You only have one business card, and the requirement is to escape from the crisis. A total of three grams of gold is required. However, you are a new customer who places an order for the first time, so you will get a 50% discount on the first order and you will be charged 1.5 grams of gold."
Li Zui and his team members were surprised when they heard the serious account.
Could it be that this errand running is really a serious business?
After collecting the payment, Qiuyu threw the remaining half of the ring back to Li Zui.
"Wait for me two minutes, I'll come in through the door to pick you up."
Li Zui and his team members looked at each other, hoping that this young lady was as capable as she appeared.
After communicating with the customer, Qiuyu made a big circle, found the warehouse door, and pulled out her weapon from behind.
The difficulty of running errands recently was average, and she rarely used her double swords, so one was enough.
The warehouse was very quiet, and Qiuyu could feel the breath of zombies hidden in the dark.
Among the many auras, there is indeed a stronger one.
But in the eyes of Qiuyu, it is nothing.
She entered the warehouse without provoking the zombies, and went straight to the warehouse where the guests were.
The mutant zombie hiding in the dark seemed to be unable to bear it, and suddenly jumped down from the ceiling, landed behind Qiuyu, stretched out his hand to her, and silently opened his big mouth like a petal, and each petal was covered with fine fangs.
Qiuyu didn't even blink, raised her arm and stabbed it with her backhand. The thin needle blade pierced through the zombie's eyebrows and was suddenly pulled back.
The mutant zombies slowly fell down, and the controlled ordinary zombies swarmed out from all sides.
Qiuyu swept over with a sword and cut off all their heads.
After making sure that the warehouse had been cleaned, Qiuyu walked to the door of the warehouse and said in a deep voice: "Move aside, don't stand by the door."
"Bang--"
With a loud bang, the door of the warehouse was kicked away, and five men stood in the door at a loss.
Qiuyu called them: "Let's go."
Li Zui walked in front, and when he came out, he saw the mutant zombies that had forced them into a dead end lying miserably on the floor, with their mouths drooping and their fangs shining, extremely permeable.
There were more than a dozen rotten corpses around, with nothing above the neck.
They had never known that there were such powerful people in Gaosheng City. What was the origin of this errand shop?
Li Zui was full of thoughts. When he was about to walk out of the warehouse, he plucked up the courage to ask: "Miss, we want to pick up some materials in the warehouse. Can you wait for us?"
Qiuyu: "Sorry, my job is to take you out from here. After you go out, you can come back. Most of the zombies inside have been cleaned up."
Li Zui: "...Okay."
A team member said: "Are the people in your store as awesome as you?"
Qiuyu: "Almost."
"Why is there no such store in our city?"
Qiuyu took out a stack of flyers from the cloth bag and gave one to each person: "We have an event in our store recently. If you are interested, you can take a look."
Qiuyu took Li Zui and his party smoothly from the warehouse to the main road, and the system assigned her a new errand order.
After watching the girl riding the electric bike leave, Li Zui and his group lowered their heads to look at the flyers in their hands.
"Mid-Autumn Festival event, how come you are so free at this time?"
"It says that you can use the cards you have used to redeem supplies in the store, fresh fruits, vegetables, meat..."
"How ridiculous!"
"If it's true, it's too awesome!!!"
Li Zui: "It's ridiculous enough to place orders with flyers and business cards. I think exchanging for supplies is okay."
"Captain, do you want to try it?"
"I want to eat fruit, anything is fine. Apples, pears, grapes, bananas..."
"I want to eat vegetables, freshly stir-fried ones, either stir-fried or stir-fried is fine."
Li Zui: "...We have to go into the warehouse again, get some ingredients, and take the flyers back to see what the base commander says." The errand boy
said that the zombies in the warehouse had been almost cleaned up, so they would just take this as a chance to pick up a leak. They can't go back empty-handed.
———
Guanyin Road, five or six white vans parked on the road.
Xue Qian sat in the car, observing the errand shop not far away.
The members of Team 11 sat in the car, observing the surroundings.
"There is no safe base here, but it seems that there are still many residents."
"Some people think the base is safe, and some people don't like the sense of restraint, not to mention that there is an outrageous shop here."
"Those errand runners are as strong as monsters, and they only charge gold as compensation. It's really good to live nearby."
"You have to find supplies yourself, which is relatively not as safe as the base."
"The supplies will definitely not be enough, I think the base is better."
"Here they come! They are really together!!!"
Across the road, Li Mi and Xia Huaisong pulled a huge trash can towards the errand shop.
The convoy of Hope Base was parked at the corner on the other side of the main road, and it was not obvious from a distance.
Earlier, the members of Team 11 received the flyers and placed errand orders. It was Bu Du and Mo Bao who went to the intersection to pick them up.
The two runners had just finished escorting errands when they received a new order to clean up the zombies.
The two rushed over from Mingtai Community and cleared the zombies surrounding the convoy in just a few minutes.
After Xue Qian and her group escaped, they came here according to the store address left on the flyer.
Xue Qian's original intention was to collect intelligence on the errand shop first, but she didn't expect to meet two traitors.
Li Mi and Xia Huaisong were completely unaware of this.
Two days ago, they changed the door with the help of Tang Anqi's team.
This morning, the two were scouring the streets nearby for garbage and found a 50% new folding table, two low stools of different styles, two sets of half-worn but very clean bedding, half a bag of rice, two bags of salt, half a box of instant coffee, an old gas stove with a gas cylinder in it.
The two unloaded the things at the door and finally took the trash can into the house.
The driver next to Xue Qian said, "It looks like they live there."
Xue Qian sneered, "It's nice to lean against the big tree to keep cool. They're not stupid."
"It seems that people live in the shops on the left and right of the errand shop."
"Captain, do you want us to capture them?"
Xue Qian: "What's the use? As long as they know there is such a place in Gaosheng City, even if they are captured, they can't be controlled. After all, they have tasted the taste of freedom."
The team members didn't know how to respond.
Xue Qian had no expression on her face. She stared at the other side of the street for a long time, and suddenly waved her hand: "Okay, let them have fun for a few more days."
The team members were puzzled.
Xue Qian said indifferently: "The fastest way to break his wings is to cut down the tree. Although the opponent has some unconventional methods, our base commander is not an idle person. If he knew that there is such a powerful store in Gaosheng City, he would be very excited."
——In
the evening, Lu Yao had already confirmed the details of the Mid-Autumn Festival event with Shi Yan, and returned to the errand shop to start preparing the most interesting venue for the Mid-Autumn Festival event.
Dream-Fulfilling System: "Your treasure map is too abstract! Can it really connect to all the stores?"
Lu Yao: "It's just a little troublesome. I can definitely use willpower. I can already imagine the expressions of the customers."
Dream-Fulfilling System: "...You seem to be really enjoying it now."
Lu Yao: "What?"
Dream-Fulfilling System: "Opening a store. You are not afraid of slowing down the progress of the task by organizing such a complicated event."
Lu Yao: "Blindly chasing Asking for results is meaningless. Besides, this activity is not complicated. I just want to give customers and store employees some fresh experiences. "
The Dream-Fulfilling System suddenly remembered some existences that it had seen in a certain world, and slowly felt relieved: "I also think you are very good like this."
Lu Yao: "Your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, I am not used to it."
Dream-Fulfilling System: "... Wild boars can't eat fine bran."
Lu Yao: "..."
Can't help but exaggerate, not at all.
Lu Yao and the whole shopping street made careful preparations for several days, and completed the activity preparations for all stores on August 14.
The lively celebration unique to the shopping street finally kicked off slowly.
[Author's words]
Key points: The Mid-Autumn Festival activities cover the eleven stores so far and this world, and each store will have at least one or two scenes described. Because of the huge amount, the combined length is not short, and not every chapter involves the plot of the Tenth Store. Readers who don't like this part of the plot can skip it.
The author's writing speed is slow. The last three times were quite busy. The goal is to try to keep the update three times a day. The update looks very short and the rhythm is also very slow. I am very sorry.
I love you.
