Chapter 115 Two Survivors
"What do you mean? Are you going to kick us out?!" Liu Xiaona exclaimed in disbelief.
Master Fu's cold tone chilled the hearts of the four people in God's Supermarket.
"Okay, Master Fu, we won't ask again." Song Yuqing clenched his fists.
"hiss……"
After a sharp and piercing noise, Master Fu returned to normal.
"That's right! We should run God's Supermarket happily." Master Fu turned back into the servile yet serious Master Fu.
"By the way, how's the task I assigned you last time going?"
Liu Xiaona rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "You are our boss, you don't know, Master Fu!"
"How do you talk to the boss like that? Be careful or I'll shrink your dorm by half!"
"What!" Liu Xiaona widened her eyes and clicked her tongue, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."
Little Meat Bun poked his finger and said, this Master Fu is really not cute, he is far inferior to the Master Fu who grew up with him.
"Manager Song, please come and give your report. Give it well. Who knows, I might be in a good mood and help you, or give you an easier task..."
Song Yuqing scratched his head. He had to put aside his doubts about Master Fu for the time being and find a chance to get the answers from Master Fu in the future.
Song Yuqing honestly reported the situation of the past few days and the progress of the task to Master Fu.
As he spoke, question marks inevitably popped up in his mind.
Could Mr. Fu’s disappearance be related to acid rain?
Moreover, is Master Fu really a kind person? If they choose to know the truth, will Master Fu really drive them all away?
Song and Qing kept these questions in their hearts.
At the same time, in the desert far away from the God's Supermarket, the gate of Base Zero, which had been eroded by acid rain, stood up magnificently again under the operation of several earth-type psychics.
Not far away, a middle-aged couple supported each other and walked towards the newly repaired city gate.
They walked slowly, and it looked like they were walking with difficulty and clumsiness, but the footprints they left on the desert were only a shallow line.
They looked towards the city gate, their eyes flashing with golden light, and then dimmed in an instant.
Less than five meters away from the city gate, they clapped each other's hands in joy.
"We finally found it!!!" The middle-aged woman cried with joy, her legs went limp, and she fell into the arms of the middle-aged man beside her.
Xie Hao, who had just finished his work and was about to go back to bed, happened to see this scene. His heart, which was not soft to begin with, softened a little at this moment. After all, the old couple reminded him of his parents.
Xie Hao called for help as he rushed forward to help the unconscious middle-aged woman. Seeing that the couple were unharmed and their clothes were intact, he couldn't help but admire them. He concluded that they must have some skills, otherwise they wouldn't have survived the acid rain.
Xie Hao sent the couple to a newly built plastic tent and settled them down.
"Thank you so much!" The middle-aged man held Xie Hao's hand, tears streaming down his face.
He said his name was Xie Qiang, and that after the apocalypse, he had developed a strange supernatural power, a body of steel, invulnerable to weapons. Thanks to this ability, he and his wife, Zhang Lin, survived the last few months of the apocalypse. They dug a cave nearby, and everything was fine, so he resigned himself to living out the rest of his life there. But fate, however, denied him even this opportunity. Acid rain descended, and the small home they had built over months was reduced to ruin. If it hadn't been for the plastic sheeting they'd scavenged to protect them from the acid, they would have perished.
Xie Hao, upon hearing the man's surname was also Xie, was overcome with emotion and began to pour out his thoughts. He had been having a rough time lately. After finally making the long journey with Nan Jiao to Base Zero, acid rain arrived the next moment. Base Zero was largely destroyed, and most of the people were gone.
Xie Qiang took Xie Hao's hand and sat down. Like a nagging elder, he talked a lot to Xie Qiang.
"Xie Hao! I'm so busy, why are you hiding here!!!" Nanjiao walked in from outside the shed, and saw Xie Hao sitting there happily, and he was furious.
"I didn't. Isn't this helping them?" Xie Hao said with confidence.
Nanjiao looked at Xie Qiang and frowned when he saw that he was a stranger.
"Who are you?"
"I'm here to join Base Zero. I've heard from others that Base Zero treats people well, and..." Moreover, there are a lot of resources.
The defense is a bit tight, and we have never dared to attack Base Zero before.
Look, it’s raining acid, and someone is offering you an umbrella. You have to take it well!
As Xie Qiang was talking, he started coughing and looked like he was seriously ill.
"Alright, but Base Zero doesn't keep idlers." Nan Jiao glanced at Xie Hao, "You know the rules. I'll take him to handle the paperwork and arrange for him to do some work."
Base Zero was in ruins, with so much work to do! He was so busy in the suburbs that he had no time to eat or sleep. He was busy repairing the plant signal station and nursing the injured pigeons!
Nanjiao glanced at Xie Hao again and said, "Xie Zetian is still busy building the house, why don't you go and help him!"
"Oh." Xie Hao responded and walked out.
After spending a few months together, he listened to Nanjiao very much, but he found that he was a little afraid of Nanjiao, like a younger generation to an elder.
Yes, it is awe.
He and Xie Zetian were both completely dominated by Nanjiao. When they were at the God's Supermarket, he thought Nanjiao was a brother with similar abilities to him, but the more they got along, the more he felt inferior to him, and he didn't know what went wrong.
Nanjiao didn't know what Xie Hao was thinking. He glanced at Xie Qiang and the middle-aged woman lying on the bed, pursed his lips, and finally said nothing and left.
He had been worried for the past few days. The experts at Base Zero said that the zombies were almost gone. They were either wiped out by acid rain or hidden. The latter was more likely.
Also, that kid Shen She actually ran away secretly! Although he knew that Shen She would definitely run back to the God's Supermarket to find Song Yuqing, Nanjiao was still worried.
I was worried that Shen She would end his short life like this.
The most frustrating thing was that Base Zero's population had plummeted, its supplies were even more dwindling, and without being able to contact the God's Supermarket, it was truly difficult. Rumors circulated within the base that the base wouldn't die from acid rain or heat, but from starvation.
Short of food, they returned to one of their original predicaments.
The arrival of acid rain shattered their prosperity.
Nanjiao left the shed, his mind full of thoughts, to go about his business. The couple behind him stared at his back, seeming to be worried and coveting him.
Zhang Lin lay in bed, the quilt covering her face. Her fingers tapped the wood of the bedside lightly, once, twice.
The gravel under the bed shook slightly, and a small bulge extended from under the bed to the outside.
"Just wait." Xie Qiang gave an ambiguous smile.
