255 ? The tenth store

255 The Tenth Store

◎Liquid Gold. ◎

Two candles were lit in the warehouse and placed near the corner of the wall. The thin warm light propped up a corner of the night.

The off-duty guards rested against the wall.

Zhou Qin and Chen Li tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so they simply continued to study the use of talismans and the errand shop's flyers.

At the beginning of the zombie virus outbreak, the researchers were protected by the military.

They had been doing zombie-related research in the laboratory. When they first heard about the errand shop, everything they saw was magical and infinitely exceeded their cognition.

Yuan Pu stared at the two people's backs with empty eyes for a while, and said in a hoarse voice: "Xiao Zhou?"

Her voice was very low. Zhou Qin thought it was an auditory hallucination at first. When she turned around and saw that it was Yuan Pu who woke up, she immediately got up to get the password box standing in the corner.

Before leaving, Lu Yao gave them something, saying that if Yuan Pu and Zheng Lin woke up, they should drink it. It would help patients recover their strength, heal wounds, and improve immunity.

Zhou Qin opened the password box lightly and took out a transparent glass bottle about ten centimeters high.

Under the candlelight, the liquid flowing in the bottle exuded a deep golden color, like flowing gold.

Yuan Pu sat up with the help of the force: "What is this?"

Zhou Qin pulled out the cork of the glass bottle, and the rich sweet fragrance instantly hit her olfactory organs. It turned out to be honey, but she had never smelled this kind of floral fragrance before.

Zhou Qin noticed Yuan Pu's inquiring gaze and handed her the glass bottle: "Before Lu Yao left, he told you and Zheng Lin to drink it when you wake up. He said it can restore physical strength, heal scars, and improve immunity."

Yuan Pu's memory after being bitten was very confused. She sat for a long time before she remembered who Lu Yao was.

She didn't care about Zhou Qin's words and pulled up her sleeves to check her arm.

The bitten place was tied with gauze and bandages, and it was wrapped very properly. But the outermost layer of bandage collapsed, and the bandager tied a bow on her body, which was obviously not the assistant's method.

Yuan Pu looked up: "Where is she?"

During the treatment, Yuan Pu's vision was blocked by the mask, and her other senses became more sensitive.

But she didn't know what method Lu Yao used to treat her and Zheng Lin, and she had many questions to ask.

"They have left. They are going to Zhongling City and Yinbian City." Zhou Qin answered and urged, "You drink the honey first, and we will start moving after dawn."

Yuan Pu finally remembered their destination, but the two finished blocking agents had been consumed.

Yuan Pu: "Didn't she tell you how to stop the zombie virus?"

Zhou Qin shook her head: "Lu Yao said that method was only for her and could not be promoted on a large scale."

They actually thought about forcing people to stay, but according to the situation at the time, they really couldn't keep them, and Qin Tian's talents did not move.

Chen Li also moved over, holding flyers and talismans in his hands, with excitement in his eyes: "She hopes that we can develop blocking agents as soon as possible, and sent these talismans. The guards have all tried them, they are all real things, more powerful than thermal weapons."

Zhou Qin felt distressed when talking about this. Before the guards tested it, they didn't expect that the effect of the talisman was exactly the same as the instructions for use, without any exaggeration, and used several in a row.

The zombies outside were almost cleared by Lu Yao's team. Even without the help of talismans, their people could defeat them one by one. However, they wasted a lot of time testing the effectiveness of the talismans.

Not only Zhou Qin, but also the guards who finished their duty and returned to the warehouse to rest were distressed when talking about this matter.

The more dangerous the place, the more soldiers will rush to the front.

The talismans given away by the errand shop are of attack type and protection type, and the effect is excellent after activation.

Judging from the test results, the talismans can ensure that the people who rush to the front line will not die or be injured in a short time.

Such a useful thing, no wonder the owner was reluctant to sell it at the time.

Yuan Pu was not very interested in talismans. She only regretted that she didn't talk to Lu Yao.

If I had a chance to talk to her about the idea of ​​curbing the zombie virus, maybe I could get some inspiration in the research and development of inhibitors.

Unfortunately, she woke up too late and she was already gone.

Yuan Pu raised the glass bottle in dismay, turning her grief into appetite. Yuan

Pu held the honey in his palm for a long time to warm it up, and its fluidity improved. Under the candlelight, it looked like liquid gold.

The honey in the bottle slowly flowed to the mouth of the bottle. Yuan Pu tasted a hint of sweetness on the tip of her tongue, and she couldn't help but slowly widen her eyes.

The rich and fresh floral fragrance instantly bloomed on the tip of her tongue. For a moment, she seemed to be in an ancient forest tens of millions of years ago. The sunlight leaked through the gaps between the dense leaves. The sound of gurgling streams was in her ears, and the fresh smell of primitive plants filled her nose.

Zhou Qin: "Is it too sweet?"

Yuan Pu came back to his senses and didn't know how to describe it: "This honey... is delicious."

Zhou Qin didn't quite understand.

She knew that the aroma of honey would vary in taste and aroma due to different seasons and different pollen collected by bees.

Zhou Qin didn't like sweets very much. Ordinary honey was too sweet for her. Even if it tasted silky, it was only delicious at the first bite. It was still greasy if she ate too much.

Yuan Pu tried hard to find the right words to describe it. After struggling for a while, he simply handed the honey bottle to Zhou Qin: "Take a sip."

The texture and taste of this honey are completely different from ordinary honey. It has a strong floral fragrance, sweet but not greasy, and has an intoxicating taste.

Zhou Qin refused. How could she have the nerve to eat a supplement specially given to the injured.

But Yuan Pu insisted: "Take a sip and you will understand what I mean." Zhou Qin couldn't resist

, so she stretched out her fingertips and dipped a little. The little sweetness and the rich floral fragrance instantly invaded her brain from the tip of her tongue.

Perhaps it is true that things are precious because they are rare. Zhou Qin didn't like eating honey before, but when she suddenly tasted a little, it seemed that the sweetness spread from the tip of her tongue to her heart.

Chen Li saw that they were eating so deliciously, and wanted to take a sip, but she couldn't say it.

At this time, Zheng Lin, who was lying next to him, whimpered and seemed to be about to wake up.

Chen Li immediately turned around to check. He felt embarrassed to rub Yuan Pu's honey, so he simply asked Zheng Lin to rub some.

----

After leaving the Hope Base, the Luyao team drove along the national highway for four hours and arrived at an abandoned service area late at night.

After detection by the Dream Fulfillment System, there are no survivors in the service area. Several long-distance buses are parked in cement dams, and all the passengers have turned into zombies.

At first, they just sat quietly in the bus, lacking vitality.

After Lu Yao's team got off the bus, the zombies sleeping in the abandoned long-distance buses began to wake up.

Lu Yao was going to build a teleportation array here, and the clerks were responsible for cleaning up the zombies.

Twenty minutes later, the teleportation array was built, and Lu Yao stood up and called the clerks to go with her to the cargo compartment of the transporter to rest.

They were in a hurry, but the clerks also needed to rest, especially Xie Zili and Guan Zhong who were responsible for driving.

After making sure that the clerks were in the cargo box, Lu Yao took out the Sumi mustard seeds from his portable storage.

Not to mention that Xia Huaisong, Jiang Yifei and Zhou Mingyang had never seen them before, Xie Zili also saw Lu Yao's Sumi mustard seeds for the first time.

Guan Zhong, as a disciple of the Six Realms of Fu Sheng, had seen them before.

Xia Huaisong pointed at the rice-sized seeds in Lu Yao's palm, and his expression finally couldn't be controlled: "Are you kidding?"

He accepted the powerful errand runners and convenient and easy-to-use talismans very well. The emergence of the mustard seed space was really too amazing.

It was only the size of a rice grain and was said to be able to accommodate several people. The time in the space was infinite and close to stagnation.

Lu Yao took the clerk into the mustard seed space without saying a word.

In the blink of an eye, they entered the bright indoor space from the closed and dim carriage.

Zhou Mingyang and Jiang Yifei held hands tightly and looked around.

Unexpectedly, the space was decorated in the style of a modern office building, simple and elegant, with sofas, beds, blankets, desks, snack cabinets, and tea areas. Lu Yao

walked to the sofa and sat down: "Find a place to rest casually, and then go out when you wake up."

Jiang Yifei walked towards Lu Yao: "Owner, I really can't help it. Who are we?"

She was referring to the owner and the errand boy. No matter how thick-skinned you are, you can't help it even if you try to ignore it and pretend not to care.

If the zombie virus appeared to exterminate mankind, the errand boy and the owner who suddenly appeared were like hermits who came to save mankind.

Zhou Mingyang and Xia Huaisong looked at Lu Yao eagerly.

The errand boys also turned their heads to listen to the owner's trickery - ahem, to explain this problem. Lu

Yao said nothing, casually took out a book from his cloth bag and threw it to Jiang Yifei: "Don't read too late, I'm going to sleep."

After saying that, the owner pulled up the blanket and covered himself with it, leaned back against the sofa, and fell asleep in a second.

Jiang Yifei lowered her head, staring blankly at the book in her hand, and the others gathered around curiously.

On the cover of the book were a few large and elegant characters printed vertically - The Legend of the Hidden Immortal Cultivator.

Turning a few pages, it seemed to be a novel of cultivation.

The shop assistants looked at each other, and combined with some props and talismans frequently used in the store and the strength of the errand boys, they seemed to understand something.

Runner: "..."

It's said that the shopkeeper has a quick mind. The floating book seemed to say something, but actually said nothing, but the clerk felt that he had found the answer.

The clerk rested his mind in the mustard seed, and only a few minutes, or even less, passed in the outside world.

When they came out of the carriage, nothing had changed outside the service area.

Two transport vehicles drove out of the service area one after another without delaying for a moment, and stopped and started halfway.

The distance is long and the transmission array must be set up in the appropriate place. The Dream Fulfilling System is responsible for drawing the map. When these routes are officially activated in the future and during the maintenance period, the transmission array can be used directly to reach the destination, which greatly reduces the travel time.

Near noon of the second day, Lu Yao's team arrived at Zhongling City smoothly.

It is said that before the outbreak of the zombie virus, Zhongling City was a truly good place, with beautiful scenery, outstanding people and auspicious places.

When Lu Yao's team arrived, the city was almost occupied by zombies, and groups of zombies could be seen everywhere in the streets, buildings, and squares.

After a preliminary scan, the Yuanmeng system reported: "The number of survivors in Zhongling City is less than half of that in Gaosheng City."

Jiang Yifei leaned against the car window, looking at the groups of zombies on the roadside and the empty buildings, with a haze in her eyes.

Is her family still there?

Zhou Mingyang held Jiang Yifei's hand, wanting to comfort her, but he didn't know what to say.

Although they had traveled thousands of kilometers to return home, the current situation had not changed at all.

Lu Yao said to the Dream Fulfilling System: "You guide us, and we will go to the area with the most survivors."

The Dream Fulfilling System automatically connected to the interface on the vehicle and started voice navigation.

Lu Yao used the communicator to contact Jiang Yifei.

There was a mobile signal receiver on the transport vehicle, and Lu Yao himself was the largest "Wish Network signal tower."

She and the clerk were both in the vehicle, and they could use the communicator to contact each other at any time.

When Jiang Yifei received the call, her heart skipped a beat, wondering what the owner wanted to talk to her about.

A few minutes later, Jiang Yifei hung up the call, suddenly curled up, bent down and buried her face in her knees, tears slid down the corners of her eyes, soaking her clothes.

Zhou Mingyang was at a loss: "What's wrong? What did the owner say?"

Jiang Yifei didn't say anything. Zhou Mingyang thought silently for a moment, and then made up his mind: "Yifei, why don't we talk to the owner and I'll go home with you to have a look..."

Jiang Yifei sat up again, wiped her eyes with her elbow, and said in a deep voice: "The owner asked for the address of the home, and she said she would stop by my house to have a look, maybe they are still there."

If Lu Yao didn't take the initiative to ask, Jiang Yifei couldn't say it at all.

She knew that the owner came to Zhongling City to expand the business and had no obligation to consider an ordinary clerk.

Facing the capable errand runners in the store, ordinary clerks like Jiang Yifei and Zhou Mingyang felt a little inferior in their hearts and had no confidence to ask the owner.

The environment and the pressure of survival made them lose their confidence. They always felt that being able to work in the errand shop was a great fortune, and they dared not expect more.

Jiang Yifei always thought that she concealed her emotions very well, and it seemed that she had not hidden it from the owner.
