Chapter 23 A Guest Who Came to Your Door
On the last day of February, the temperature rose another ten degrees.
In the God's Supermarket, Xiao Roubao and Gaha each grabbed a towel and rushed to wipe the shelves. The shelves were spotless, without a speck of dust, but Xiao Roubao and Gaha both needed a chance to show off their skills.
As for Song Yuqing, after she had replaced each dormitory with brand new bedding, she lazily lay on the sofa in her room, thinking about how to decorate her own room. She wanted a fuzzy carpet, a warm yellow lamp, a poster here, a potted plant there...
Song Yuqing's shopping list already includes more than a hundred items, including supplies as well as gifts for Xiao Roubao and Gaha.
"Gaha~Gahaha~" Gaha called out to Song Yuqing at the top of his voice. Song Yuqing had to leave the comfortable sofa temporarily and go to the store to check the situation.
Between the two rows of shelves, Xiao Roubao and Gaha were squeezing each other, neither of them giving way to the other. Xiao Roubao had the upper hand thanks to his sturdy body.
As soon as he saw Song Yuqing coming, Xiao Roubao lowered his head and started to wipe the shelves carefully, while Gaha threw away the towel in his hand and counted his fingers in grievance.
"Gaha, gaha, gahawu...gaha..."
Song Yuqing was depressed. Should she go to the parallel world to find a zombie language translator tomorrow?
"Little Meat Bun, did you bully Gaha?"
Little Meat Bun continued to wipe the shelves intently. Hey, it seems a little dirty here. I'll wipe it again...
Song Yuqing held his forehead speechlessly. What's the matter? Are you forcing yourself to do something even if there is no work?
"Listen up, you two! Gaha, you clean up, and Little Meat Bun, you greet the guests at the door."
Welcoming guests, where is the “guest”?
Facing the little meat bun's puzzled look, Song Yuqing replied calmly, "There will be."
"Gaha!" Gaha raised her hand to agree with Song Yuqing's work assignment. It was very reasonable. She only needed to do behind-the-scenes work, which was comfortable. Unlike Little Roubao, she didn't have to show up in public.
Song Yuqing pulled the little meat bun into the bamboo forest and taught him step by step how to move so as to look cute.
"Hey, like this, raise your hands and touch your face~"
She had planned it out. A cute and adorable giant panda was playing obediently in a refreshing bamboo forest, which was pleasing to the eye and eye-catching. More importantly, the mutant giant panda, the bamboo forest, and the original protective power of the God's Supermarket formed a high-end security system that could defend and attack.
Little Meat Bun's mind was in a mess. What was going on? I'm a proud giant panda, and I need to smile?
"Come on, there will be customers, don't worry." Song Yuqing said this to comfort himself. Since the store opened, there have been almost no customers who came to the door on their own initiative.
Speak of the devil, and here comes the first customer that God has found himself in the Supermarket.
"Manager Song!" The voice was loud and powerful.
Song Yuqing turned around and saw Xie Hao walking towards the God's Supermarket with his bare chest and a big golden knife on his shoulder. He was sweating all over and his shoes had holes in them.
When Xie Hao came closer, Song Yuqing noticed that Xie Hao had a Hello Kitty tattoo on his chest, which was totally inconsistent with Xie Hao's temperament.
"Oh? Why are you here!?" Song Yuqing finally suppressed the urge to complain about Xie Hao's tattoo.
"Well, it's a long story..." Xie Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked quickly to the store, "I want to buy a lot of things..."
Xie Hao suddenly stopped.
Huh? Why did it suddenly become cooler?
The sudden coolness made Xie Hao relax all of a sudden. He spread his arms and took a deep breath.
Little Meat Bun stole a glance at Song Yuqing and made a fateful decision. He twisted his neck, shook his hands, and put on a silly, cute look before slowly walking over to Xie Hao and flirting.
Xie Hao was stunned: This...
Seeing that Xie Hao didn't react, the little meat bun increased his cuteness.
Look at me, am I cute?
"Wow! Boss Song, this panda is so cute! When did you get it?" Xie Hao reached out to rub Little Meat Bun's head. Little Meat Bun was disgusted by Xie Hao's rough hands. He used up all his patience, thinking, "The customer is God," to finally resist the urge to slap Xie Hao away.
Song Yuqing smiled awkwardly: "It's called Little Meat Bun, and it's a clerk at the God's Supermarket."
Song Yuqing wanted to introduce Gaha, but found that Gaha was missing.
Xie Hao pursed his lips and gave Little Meat Bun a thumbs-up. Great, you, a giant panda, have truly lived the truth! As long as we're alive, whether it's the end of the world or not, whether we're human or animal, we have to fend for ourselves!
Song Yuqing welcomed Xie Hao into the store and gave him a bottle of water. After all, he was the first customer who came on his own initiative, so he had to give him some benefits.
Xie Hao drank a bottle of water in one breath, smacked his lips, and still felt unsatisfied.
"Boss Song, can you give me another bottle? I haven't had a drop of water in three days."
"Why?" Song Yuqing felt strange. There was a supermarket and water-based mutants in Base No. 27. It couldn't be so destitute that even the mutants lacked drinking water, right?
Song Yuqing was wrong. In Base No. 27, the psychics and ordinary people who stood on the wrong side could no longer afford to drink water.
Since Song Yuqing's last visit to Base 27, the survival difficulties faced by the zombie hunters and ordinary people at the base have been greatly alleviated. Word of the God's Supermarket spread among the lower-class people at the base, and eventually reached the ears of Xie Zetian, the founder of the base.
Xie Zetian is Xie Hao's cousin, a ruthless self-made man before the apocalypse. The reason he invited Lin Han to join the base and was willing to give him some of the benefits was simply because Lin Han possessed unique spatial abilities that could help him manage the base.
Xie Zetian had thought that once Lin Han grew up, he would compete with him for power and profit. He set a trap for Lin Han to fall into, wanting to control Lin Han's ambition.
Unfortunately, Lin Han got some guidance from some expert, and not only did he avoid the trap set by Xie Zetian, but he also tricked Xie Zetian badly.
A few days ago, the temperature suddenly rose sharply. Lin Han, relying on his own space, openly challenged Xie Zetian and won over all the water-based psychics in the base - of course, except Liu Xiaona. He then forced the other psychics to stand on his side and nominated him to become the second leader of the base.
Many of those who originally stood on Xie Zetian's side have changed their minds and turned to Lin Han.
Xie Zetian's position and life are in danger, and he must try his best to hold on to the last straw.
"Look, that guy Xie Zetian sent me to your place to move the supplies back." Xie Hao gulped down the third bottle of water.
"What about Liu Xiaona?" The base was in such chaos that Song Yuqing couldn't help but worry about Liu Xiaona's situation.
"...I haven't seen him for a long time. Because he offended Lin Han, he can't enter the bunker to escape the heat. He doesn't have a physique that can withstand high temperatures... He can't hold out for much longer with just his supernatural powers. I'm afraid he's in great danger."
Song Yuqing's face darkened for a moment. Hadn't she asked Xie Hao to look after Liu Xiaona? What was going on? Did he forget what he had promised?
"When I get the supplies back to the base, I will definitely help you find out about Liu Xiaona." Xie Hao hurriedly tried to make excuses for himself.
Little Meat Bun leaned against the gate, listening to the conversation between Song Yuqing and Xie Hao. It couldn't understand what they were talking about, a struggle for power and profit, and it gave it a headache just listening to it.
"I drove here and killed dozens of zombies along the way. It's not convenient to move in. Boss Song, come with me to take a look?" Xie Hao looked at Song Yuqing sincerely. "The zombies we killed this time are used to exchange for supplies. As for the prosthetic limbs, I'll come back in a few days to get them."
"Please move the zombies in." Song Yuqing said lightly.
"There are so many things, how can I move them all by myself?" Xie Hao was stunned. He remembered that Song Yuqing had a space, so it was effortless for him to move things!
"Yes." Although Xie Hao could not be blamed for what happened to Liu Xiaona, Song Yuqing just couldn't swallow this anger.
