Chapter 118 The Iron Shop Sister
She was startled by the sudden sound of footsteps. She turned around and picked up the weapon in her hand - a pointed pickaxe, and looked at the outsider with murderous eyes.
"Xia, Boss Xia."
Xia Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at her weapon.
“Somewhat sharp.”
Seeing that it was Boss Xia, she quickly put down the pickaxe, scratched her head and began to explain: "I thought it was... Sorry."
Xia Yan waved her hand to indicate that it was nothing. She could see that this girl was just an ordinary person without any special abilities, and that she was able to survive until now only because she was ruthless enough.
She threw the gun into the vending machine, priced at 500 points, and turned to walk out.
The girl had been observing her through the reflective glass. Her eyes lit up when she saw the pistol. After Boss Xia left, she rushed to the vending machine, took out a second-level crystal core and stuffed it in.
Slightly heavy feel, smooth lines, small and easy to hide.
The girl put the gun into her pocket expressionlessly and prepared to go out to kill zombies.
In the hall, Boss Xia was talking to Xiong Xiong. When he saw her coming, he just nodded politely.
The girl nodded and walked out of the hotel quickly. When she reached a deserted place, she wrapped her clothes around her wrists and ankles, tied her shoelaces, moved her wrists and ankles, and did a set of boxing as a warm-up.
When her body began to heat up, she picked up a pointed pickaxe beside her and entered a combat state. With sharp eyes and focused mind, she approached the zombie in the distance cautiously. When the distance was right, she smashed it hard into the back of the head, used the pointed end to pry out the crystal core, and stuffed it into her pocket.
Who says only people with special abilities can survive the apocalypse?
...
The next morning, Xiong Xiong walked through the branch and opened the restaurant door on time to welcome customers.
When the customers saw it was a bear, they were a little hesitant to go in and stood outside the door looking at the sign several times.
"It's the first branch of the resort hotel, why did they change owners?"
"Dude, you don't know this, right? This is the female boss's employee, the store manager!"
The customers who had dined here yesterday and had seen the bear before walked into the restaurant to eat without any fear.
"Hey, it's really strange to have a bear as a store manager." An old man in the corner was smoking a pipe and watching the fun.
"Everyone, feel free to come in. The rules in this base are strict, and I've never seen anyone cause trouble."
The customers who were watching outside the door saw that the first person who entered had already started eating, so they calmed themselves down and walked into the store one after another.
"Welcome to the restaurant, please order by yourself." Xiong Xiong bowed slightly to every customer who came in, being humble and polite.
Despite their skepticism from the outside, once inside, they actually felt the bear was easier to get along with than the female boss. Was he more approachable?
Xiong Xiong saw that the people outside left after watching the fun, so he turned and walked into the utility room, got a basin of water, and prepared to wipe the glass.
Outside the door, Fu Niang was yawning as she opened the shop door. When she was moving the flowers out, she caught a glimpse of Xiong Xiong, who was wearing the clothes that Boss Xia had exchanged for his lunch box.
It fits quite well.
"Xiongxiong, Boss Xia hasn't gotten up yet?" Fu Niang was a little envious.
No worries about food and clothing, no need to work, it’s like a god’s life.
Xiongxiong was washing the rag in the basin, and his grandmother's youthful voice replied, "No."
"That's great. Xiongxiong, please take this pot of flowers back later. Boss Xia will probably like it." Fu Niang placed a pot of colorful gentian flowers at the door of the branch. "It's rare for me to meet someone who likes flowers. And they'd rather follow Boss Xia than me. Please don't hesitate."
His dark eyes lingered on the layers of delicate petals, unsure if he would be scolded by his boss if he took the flowers back...
This pot of flowers is really pretty. How about putting it in the branch?
"Thank you." Xiong Xiong felt in his pocket and took out two candies. "Take some candy."
In the main store, it always has a handful of candies. When it meets cute children, it sometimes gives one to them and listens to their interesting stories.
It has been staying in the hotel since it was born and is very fond of the things they talk about, such as Snow White, the moving castle, Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, and bumper cars.
Now it has a new working environment. The people here look healthier than those in the main store. Men, women, young and old, all go to the central hall to take tasks and go out to kill zombies.
They have a lot of crystal cores in their pockets. Even if the price of each dish in the branch increases by 10 points, the customers who come to eat are very happy, and they all recharge with second-level crystal cores.
The people here are also nice and friendly. No one comes to cause trouble. It is more comfortable than the main store.
It just wants to hear a story sometimes...
——
The next day, Xia Yan showed up at the branch on time.
I guess everyone is starting to accept this restaurant. Since it opened in the morning, people have been coming in to apply for membership cards.
Of course Xia Yan would not refuse. Compared with Xiong Xiong's performance yesterday, she took off directly today.
It turns out that she is the one who attracts the most wealth~
New customers who came to the restaurant to eat were amazed at the environment inside the restaurant, but the moment they put the ordered food into their mouths, they regretted why they didn’t come here earlier to apply for a membership card. No matter how delicious the mutant beast meat is, it can’t compare to the aroma of carbohydrates!
"Boss Xia, I'm not trying to flatter you, but the food in your restaurant is truly delicious. It's a hundred times better than mutant beast meat!"
The strong woman with a round belly burped and gave a thumbs up to express her praise from the heart.
Xia Yan recognized her as the owner of the iron shop. "So you're a neighbor. Come often. What is this mutant beast meat you were talking about? Aren't mutated animals said to have toxins?"
"You're new here, so you don't know what's normal. Generally speaking, mutant beast meat is poisonous because they eat everything. The closer to the city a mutant beast is, the more toxins it contains.
But it's not so bad here. On the one hand, the strength is strong, and on the other hand, the city walls are high. Those strange beasts can't eat much, so they just cannibalize each other. In comparison, the toxins in their bodies are small."
The elder sister combed her hair with her fingers and continued, "But don't be silly and go out and catch some yourself and eat them directly. After all, not all mutant beasts are edible. The mutant beast meat sold in the base has been detoxified in the laboratory.
The toxins in the meat have been minimized. If you really want to try it, there are official stalls in the central square every Friday. However, there are too many people buying, so you have to go early.
The more Xia Yan listened, the more puzzled he became. He couldn't help but ask, "Are they killing mutants on the front line? Not zombies?"
"There are both, but most of them are mutants. There are no way there are so many zombies in these desolate mountains and wilderness."
"There can't be so many mutant beasts, right? It's taken so long and we still haven't killed them all?" Xia Yan was speechless.
When she heard Su Mei talk vaguely about the front line, she thought they were killing zombies.
After what the eldest sister said, not only do we have to kill the mutant beast, but we also have to bring the mutant beast's body back?
If we kill mutant beasts every day, we won’t be able to consume them all even if the population of the base eats them every meal.
When she asked these questions, the eldest sister sneered and said, "Who said it was provided for this base? There are many mouths waiting to be fed in some places.
I don't know why the mutant beasts can't be killed off completely. Maybe there were too many strange phenomena when the apocalypse came, and they were running around to escape, so they gathered here."
“Do the people on the front lines know about this?”
