241 ? The tenth store

241 The Tenth Store

◎Looks like a good guy, but also like a bad guy.◎

About three or four days ago, someone began to distribute this kind of flyer privately at the base, and He Xinze also took one.

The errand shop looks interesting at first glance.

After all, there are few people who open stores nowadays, and they are all trying to cheat everyone. Who would spend time making such fancy flyers?

He Xinze spent a few minutes carefully reading the content of the flyer and couldn't help laughing.

The boss behind this small shop is a little smart, but not much.

If he really wants to open a store and doesn't want to be constrained by the base, and deliberately opens a store outside the base and wants to attract customers from the base, it will be ruined in a few days.

The base management will not allow anyone to borrow their popularity for nothing without making any contribution.

The business rules of this store are also very funny. It is easy to understand that they run errands, but they only charge money, which makes them look different and unworldly.

Seeing that He Xinze didn't take it seriously, Liu Cheng was a little anxious: "Brother, this store is really awesome! Several teams placed orders this morning, and they all came back safely just now. I saw that their backpacks were bulging, so they must have got the supplies."

He Xinze was a little surprised. It was understandable that someone placed orders out of curiosity at the beginning. After all, the business of this store is a bit like "precisely competing for the market". It will definitely be popular for a few days after opening, provided that this errand shop is really as awesome as advertised.

Liu Cheng continued, "Just now I heard the search team discussing at the gate of the base. They were going to ask the runners to go with them to the supermarket, the Dalian chain supermarket where many people have died. Brother, let's also place an order and go to the hospital to get some medicine. If we are lucky enough to get that medicine, maybe we can save Sang Jing!"

Sang Jing is a 17-year-old girl. She fled to the Dawn Base with her parents and brother, and the family also lived in the container area.

Sang Jing's father has a chronic disease. When he can't find medicine, he is in bed most of the time. The family depends on the mother and two children to maintain the family.

The weather has been bad recently, and Sang Jing's father's health is getting worse. Seeing that he is about to die, a family in the base management suddenly found Sang Jing's parents and wanted to marry into their family.

Order collapsed, civilization regressed, and those backward customs that took all of humanity hundreds or even thousands of years to break were revived in this small base.

The person who came to propose marriage was eloquent, and he hinted that as long as Sang Jing was willing to marry, the base would hire a doctor to treat Sang Lan's father, and the family would no longer have to pay tribute. Anyone

with a discerning eye could tell that there was something fishy going on, but I don't know what Sang Jing's parents were thinking, but they actually agreed.

Liu Cheng, an outsider, couldn't stand it. The only way he could think of was to find a special medicine to treat Sang Jing's father's illness, and maybe the Sang family would give up the marriage.

He Xinze thought Liu Cheng's idea was naive, but he was too lazy to say anything to him, and he wouldn't listen at all.

People are like this, they only believe in what they want to believe.

In fact, the base is not short of doctors. What they lack are medicines, instruments, and a normal environment for medical consultation.

The current Dawn Base cannot even meet these most basic conditions.

The early Dawn Base actually had some courage that made people see "dawn".

At that time, the base was just like the errand shop now, constantly promoting how bright the future of the base was, attracting refugees from different professions. As a result, many people came to the base at the risk of their lives, but all they saw was a contribution that was getting higher and higher every day and a worsening situation.

He Xinze was not interested in what Liu Cheng said about saving people, but he thought that if he could take the opportunity to get a batch of medicine, life might be better.

He loosened his hand and let Liu Cheng into the house.

The two quickly packed two empty backpacks and some gold, and sat down to study the ordering rules of the errand shop before going out together.

A lot of people gathered at the gate of the Dawn Base, which was much more lively than usual. Many people were carrying bags, and they were in teams of three or five, and they seemed to be ready to go out to search for supplies.

You have to know that ordinary people don’t have the vehicles and equipment of the base search team, so it is difficult for them to go out.

The supply points near the base have long been searched out, and residents have to pay tribute to the base every day. The advantage is that they don’t have to worry about zombies suddenly popping up from somewhere, but life is just one day at a time.

Liu Cheng said excitedly: "These people may all be going to the errand shop."

The first time you place an order, you must go to the store in person to get the order card.

Liu Cheng doesn’t understand how to operate the order card, but he can still understand this way of transaction, just like the usual express delivery.

After all, it is not as convenient as before, and you can directly order various items online.

He Xinze's expression didn't change, but he was still a little surprised in his heart: "So many people, how many people are there in the store, can they handle it?"

Liu Cheng pushed He Xinze to the gate: "So, brother, we have to hurry. If we are late, we will not be able to get a number."

Ordinary people can only walk when they go out. They don't have a car, and they can't keep it even if they have one.

Fortunately, the errand shop is not too far from the base, about 800/900 meters away.

There are many people going out that day, and it is rare that there are no zombies wandering on the road.

He Xinze and Liu Cheng came out of the base and jogged all the way to the errand station.

Before they arrived at the store, the two saw the eye-catching sign of the errand shop from a distance, and customers had already lined up from the store to the door.

Liu Cheng called out to He Xinze to run faster and quickly squeezed to the back of the line.

Although there were many people in the line, they were all in groups, and the store only sold business cards for placing orders, so the line moved very quickly.

About five minutes later, He Xinze and Liu Cheng had entered the store. The decoration of the store was simple and bright.

On the left side of the entrance was the counter, and two clerks were receiving customers who wanted to buy business cards.

They each held a strange-looking gadget in their hands that could accurately extract gold.

Half a gram of gold for a business card, and that was just the price of buying a business card.

After placing an order, the runners would charge according to the distance of the errand and the specific task.

One of the most novel selling points of this store is that as long as you have the business card of the errand shop, you can directly use the business card to place an order within the business range of ten kilometers, and the errand runner will accept the order, without the need for mobile phones, the Internet, or any modern technology or machines.

The detailed instructions for using the business card for ordering were not written on the flyer. When He Xinze and Liu Cheng bought the business card and heard the store clerk explain it, they just thought it was a bit fantasy.

The two suddenly felt unsure, and each of them only bought two cards, which cost one gram of gold.

When they were paying, a young girl at the next counter grabbed 20 business cards and stuffed them into her bag. The middle-aged man behind her went up and bought 30 directly.

Liu Cheng couldn't help but complain to He Xinze: "This is too reckless. They are trying to steal the goods!"

He Xinze shook his head. These people may have regarded the errand shop as a savior, but he was more cautious. Even if it was gold, which was not worth much now, he didn't want to spend it all at once. It didn't matter if he suffered a loss, it would affect his mood.

Life is so difficult now. A little thing can push people to desperation. He would rather be cautious and take it slow.

A clean corner was tidied up on the right side of the store, and three rectangular wooden low tables and matching chairs were placed.

There is a water dispenser and disposable cups on the side of the seating area, as well as hot water.

In terms of the environment, the store is well decorated.

He Xinze and Liu Cheng took a look and did not sit in the store. They did not want to exchange information with anyone, as that was all they had heard along the way.

They sat down on the steps outside the station and looked over and over at the two pieces of thin paper in their hands.

Liu Cheng: "Like business cards, is this thing really useful?"

He Xinze: "You clamored to get it, but after buying it you complained it was useless and threw it away?"

Liu Cheng smiled awkwardly: "Then let's give it a try? Brother, shall we go to Xinchuan Hospital?"

Xinchuan Hospital, about five kilometers away from the Dawn Base, was once the most famous public hospital in Green Ant City.

This hospital has two campuses, the old and new. Liu Cheng was talking about the new campus that was built less than two years ago.

After the new campus was built, the old campus is still in use, but most of the departments have moved to the new campus. The equipment is brand new, the pharmacy is also larger, and the chance of finding useful medicines is greater.

He Xinze and Liu Cheng discussed using one business card when going there and another when coming back, so each of them would use one business card for each round trip.

He Xinze took out his business card first, filled in the address and name according to the format, and waited for the errand boy to arrive.

Only a few minutes after filling out the business card, a pink-haired boy with a ponytail rode a small electric car from the other side of the road and slowly stopped in front of them.

Wu Ling changed into a modern outfit, black casual trousers and a pink shirt, with short pink hair tied behind her head with a light purple headband and a flowing bow.

Lu Yao used to instruct the clerk to keep a low profile, but after being pulled into the divine realm and coming back, she has not emphasized this matter recently.

Anyway, no matter what you do, the gods are watching, and more extreme things have been done. The clerk has a little personality, which is just a small matter among small matters.

He Xinze and Liu Cheng looked at the pink-clothed boy in front of them and were stunned.

Wu Ling looked at them: "He Xinze and Liu Cheng?"

Liu Cheng nodded: "Who are you?"

Wu Ling: "Wu Ling, the errand runner No. 17, will take you to Xinchuan Hospital."

He Xinze said: "We want to go into Xinchuan Hospital to search for medicines."

Wu Ling: "Escort business requires a separate order."

He Xinze: "How many Lang for five kilometers?"

"Lang" is the original common currency of the Golden Kingdom.

Half a gram of gold is converted into "Lang", and according to the previous market, it is worth dozens of Lang.

Wu Ling: "You placed the order without understanding the rules of the store? If you can't accept it, we can cancel the order and refund you."

Liu Cheng held He Xinze and smiled at Wu Ling: "Let's go, let's go."

Wu Ling handed them helmets.

Liu Cheng pushed He Xinze into the car and sat in the back.

He Xinze was still angry when he first got on the car. Half a gram of gold was exchanged for a "motorcycle service". It was not a good deal.

These shop owners are just evil-hearted.

But they encountered three waves of small zombies on the road. The runner only relied on his racing skills to quietly avoid two waves.

The last time there were too many zombies surrounding them, He Xinze and Liu Cheng felt that it was not going to work. The runner pulled out the sword hanging on the front of the car. In just five seconds, all the zombies that surrounded them became headless rotten corpses, falling in the middle of the road.

They didn't even get out of the car. The small electric car sped past, leaving the mountain of rotten corpses behind.

Liu Cheng let out a long breath and pressed He Xinze's shoulder hard.

Even if they had a car, without the force of an errand boy, it would be difficult for them to travel the five kilometers alone and arrive at Xinchuan Hospital safely.

This little bit of gold was well spent!

Wuling dropped the two people off on the roadside in front of the main entrance of Xinchuan Hospital.

Giving away gifts is the easiest of all businesses, and the fee is one gram of gold for five kilometers.

Wuling took out the gold-eating Pixiu, twisted one gram of gold from the customer, packed up and prepared to leave.

There is a large square in front of the hospital. The parked cars are all covered with dust. There are still many slow-moving zombies wandering around the long road. Liu Cheng hurriedly called Wu Ling: "Wait a minute, young man. We will place another order right away.

Please escort us to the hospital." Wu Ling sat in the car without moving: "I am not responsible for dispatching orders. If you want to place an order, please be quick. If there are other errand runners nearby, your orders may not be dispatched to me." Along the way, He Xinze's grudge was somewhat alleviated, and he asked curiously: "There is no Internet, and I didn't see you using machines. How does this ordering business card work?" Wu Ling shook his head: "You have to ask the owner. I don't understand either." He Xinze: "What kind of person is the owner?" Wu Ling: "...strong and smart, not lacking in ambition. Like a good guy, but also like a bad guy." The image of a shrewd, capable, and scheming middle-aged man emerged in He Xinze's mind. Xinchuan Hospital is far from the station, and there are many zombies around, so it is very dangerous. No one is coming in this direction for the time being. There is only one errand boy nearby, Wuling. He was assigned to the order of He Xinze and Liu Cheng. Wuling found a spacious place to park the car, and put anti-theft charms and barrier charms under the seat. He followed the guests with a sword on his back.
