Chapter 52 The First Night of Being a Trader



"I want to stay, too."

"Me too."

"But they haven't come here yet. Are they thinking of setting up their own base?"

When they spoke, they were afraid that others would hear their voices, so they stood very close to each other and lowered their voices.

"How about we try to persuade them? If we set up our own base, we wouldn't have to work like we do now. When we get off work, we'll have energy points, which is money, directly deposited into our cards. We wouldn't have to worry about others stealing it, and even if they did, we wouldn't be able to use it."

"Brother Luo, don't tell me that I won't be with you guys. I really want to stay here. Otherwise, ask Xiao Liu if he wants to stay. He has a distant relative here, so he's still a relative after all. Unlike the rest of us, I'm the only one left at home."

“…”

After discussing for a while, they finally decided that half of them would go back to pick up the people, and the remaining five would stay here and start working here early tomorrow morning to earn enough money for a day's food.

After Luo Ziqiang asked about the price of breakfast.

I left them 20 yuan for breakfast, and used the rest to buy some food and pack it up for them. I charged one yuan for the packaging, which was just enough for them to buy lunch boxes for 11 people. But considering that so many of them had to work until the afternoon to get paid, they needed to keep some for themselves, so I bought two and gave them some to try, and used the rest to buy bread at the convenience store.

Just when Luo Ziqiang was thinking about how to spend the remaining 220 yuan, he heard a lot of people shouting "City Lord".

He looked up and saw a woman in black sportswear walking towards him.

The mayor of Dawn City is such a young woman?

When Luo Ziqiang thought about the other person's young age, and compared it with his dilapidated, collapsed base, and the fact that they had to work in other people's bases to make a living, he felt a little withdrawn for a while.

Xu Bai nodded one by one, his gaze paused when he glanced at Luo Ziqiang, and then he looked away calmly.

The system told her this as early as when Luo Ziqiang entered the base.

What is different from the information of others is that Luo Ziqiang is also marked with the title of the base commander of the New Sun Base, and is accompanied by a resume of his experiences since the end of the world.

This is a man born in the countryside who values ​​friendship and loyalty. He is less than 30 years old. His parents mutated into zombies on the day of the end of the world. He and the young men in the village escaped from home and mistakenly entered a very bad base. He then took a group of people to build a new base.

In just a short period of time, the small team of just a few people grew to over a hundred people.

Unfortunately, the arrival of the zombie tide dealt a heavy blow to this newly established base.

Luo Ziqiang had been secretly sizing up Xu Bai, but after a few times, their eyes met. Luo Ziqiang coughed lightly a few times and quickly avoided her gaze. Then he raised his hand and waved it in front of the table, "We should go. Xiao Liu, go find your distant relative and ask if they have a place to stay for a while."

"Xiangzi and I and the other two will go back to pick them up. Everyone remember to be safe."

In the end, I left them 120 yuan, and used the remaining 100 yuan to buy two boxed lunches, a pile of bread and a large bottle of mineral water.

After Luo Ziqiang left, Xiao Liu found a distant relative, but discovered that Shuguang City did not allow non-residents to stay at night. The relative took them to find Jiao Nanmu, and after much persuasion, they were able to apply for a resident certificate and destroy the original non-resident certificate.

But there are no houses suitable for them to live in Dawn City now.

There were still rooms available in ordinary high-rise buildings and shared apartments, but they cost a lot more. Fortunately, a distant relative, seeing that Xiao Liu was one of his few relatives now, persuaded his roommates to let them stay on the floor for one night.

But where to stay the next day is still a problem.

It takes two hours to observe when entering or leaving Dawn City, and two hours is equivalent to losing twenty wages a day.

This was the first time since the end of the world that they took a shower, washed their hair and went to bed. Although they were worried about accommodation for the next day, they slept well for the first time.

Early the next morning, except for Xiao Liu who went to the gate to wait for them and came to tell them about the problem of having no place to live in Shuguang City, the other four went to work early to earn money. This was the first time they were so looking forward to going to work.

After hearing about the current situation in Shuguang City, Luo Ziqiang immediately made up his mind to let ten people enter the Shuguang City observation room first, become residents of Shuguang City, and work to earn food.

Now, outside Shuguang City, there are seven people, including Luo Ziqiang, who have not yet entered.

They drove and finally stopped at a bungalow closest to Dawn City.

With a goal in life, they tried their best to avoid all the attacks of the zombies, otherwise they would be hurt by the zombies. Fortunately, they were lucky and chose a room with only a family of four zombies, two adults and two children.

Perhaps because they had never left the bungalow, these four zombies were not as agile as the zombies outside and were rather clumsy.

They dealt with it quickly.

When cleaning the bungalow, people who had seen the public toilet in Shuguang City were a little disgusted by the peculiar smell of this bungalow.

But Luo Ziqiang's luck did not stop there. When he entered Shuguang City and came to the office, he happened to meet Shi Qinghe who had just returned and threw the crystal core into the machine for storage. His eyesight has always been very good, and he immediately saw that the balance displayed on the screen above the machine had increased a lot.

Luo Ziqiang shamelessly came up and asked, "Brother, can you tell me what this thing you just threw down is? I want to make more money and move in sooner."

"Crystal cores are things dug out from the heads of zombies, but not every zombie has them in its head." Shi Qinghe and Ji Heng had just returned from killing zombies outside. They deposited the unused crystal cores into their resident cards, waiting to save enough money in the future so that they could have a small villa like Jiao Nanmu or Xu Bai's. They wanted to be the first to buy it.

Shi Qinghe was a social savvy person, and within a few days he found out what Jiao Nanmu and Xu Qing's houses looked like. However, he had never been to Xu Bai's small villa, and he found out about it from Jiao Nanmu.

After the two houses were built, they were the first people in Dawn City to see the layout inside.

Luo Ziqiang, who had never paid attention to what was inside the zombies' heads when he killed them before, felt a little regretful.

After hearing a lot of information from Shi Qinghe, Luo Ziqiang was very grateful, but his mind was also working very quickly.

After work and dinner, when he was about to leave Shuguang City, he took his earnings and borrowed money from Xiangzi and went to the convenience store to buy a box of mineral water and a large bag of bread.

After sending everyone back to the bungalow, he and Xiangzi drove to another base, sold the things, and got two or three crystal cores.

According to Shi Qinghe, one crystal core can be exchanged for one thousand energy points, and three crystal cores can be exchanged for three thousand energy points, which is enough for the twenty-one people to rent a house in Shuguang City. They can eat their fill every day, and if they save some, they can exchange it for renting an ordinary high-rise apartment, and then take it step by step, and their lives will get better and better!
