Chapter 33: Which one are you?
"Which one are you?" Liu Xiaona was amused.
"I'm a special inspector from Base Zero, Nanjiao." The man's eyes were fixed on the beef hotpot.
"Base Zero?"
"Special Investigator?"
"Is there anyone else with the surname Nan?"
Everyone eating beef hotpot was filled with questions. Song Yuqing looked at the man trying to squeeze in front of the hotpot, and his left eyelid began to twitch.
Nanjiao took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks from his pocket and started to eat the meat from the hot pot.
"Hey, you have to pay!" Xie Hao glared angrily with his eyes wide open.
"I've left twenty zombies outside the door. One zombie is equivalent to ten dollars before the apocalypse. Twenty zombies mean two hundred dollars. Is that enough for me to eat for a few days?" Nanjiao's mouth was full of beef and his speech was unclear.
"Ah?" Song Yuqing couldn't sit still anymore. This stranger obviously knew God's Supermarket very well, but Song Yuqing had never seen him before... Could it be that God's Supermarket had become famous without anyone knowing?
Song Yuqing and Xie Hao rushed to the door first and peeked out. Wow! Twenty zombies were lying in a row, each one's hands neatly folded over their stomachs, quite politely. Little Meat Bun, Liu Xiaona, and Xie Zetian also followed, lining up behind Song Yuqing and Xie Hao, peeking out and exclaiming in unison.
Song Yuqing clenched his jaw and slowly turned his head to look at Nanjiao who was eating meat "elegantly".
Gaha was still sitting steadily at the table, staring at Nanjiao.
The highly anticipated Nanjiao was not shy at all and calmly put the beef from the pot into his bowl.
"You guys aren't going to eat anymore, are you? Then I'll eat it all. We can't waste it."
"Who said we don't want to eat?" Liu Xiaona was the first to protest.
Nanjiao pretended not to hear, finished the meat in the bowl in two bites, reached into the pot with his chopsticks, and picked up a piece of beef and put it into Gaha's bowl.
"Why don't you try it? You didn't eat a single bite, so you've got a great seat for nothing! You were clamoring for beef hotpot before."
"Gah!"
This person knows Gaha!
Song Yuqing and the others quickly returned to their seats and stared at Nanjiao.
"Do you still know Gaha?"
"Yes, I know her. She used to be the captain of our zombie hunter team at Base Zero, the only zombie hunter without super powers."
"Dig it out!" Xie Hao looked at Gaha in disbelief.
"Gaha!" Number Zero? Not Number Ten? Gaha's limited memory began to become confused.
Nanjiao burped but didn't put down his chopsticks.
"Aren't you going to put the zombie body at the security gate?"
"Do you know what that security gate is used for?" Song Yuqing felt naked. Although the security gate was not a secret, it was very strange to hear it from a stranger. It was like you were walking on the street and a passerby stopped you and told you that there were two big diamond patterns and a Doraemon sticker on your door.
"What else do you know?"
"I also know that the God's Supermarket has an automatic protection system that can protect the supermarket and its employees." Nan Jiao sucked his chopsticks and looked sideways at Song Yuqing. "Your name is Song Yuqing, and you were a small-time director before the apocalypse."
Song Yuqing frowned. Nanjiao didn't look like a bad person, but he didn't look like a good person either. Which good person would reveal everything about your family background when they met for the first time?
"How do you know so much?" Song Yuqing grabbed Nanjiao's hand as he was about to pick up some meat with his chopsticks. The little meat bun puffed out his chest and looked at Nanjiao fiercely.
"Because Ruan Fanfan told me."
The anger that Song Yuqing had accumulated dissipated in an instant, and he felt weak and his heart ached.
"Ruan Fanfan! That stinky woman!" Xie Zetian slapped his thigh suddenly.
"What is your purpose in coming to God's Supermarket?" Liu Xiaona put her hand on Nanjiao's shoulder and exerted force secretly.
If it were an ordinary person, Liu Xiaona would have squeezed him until he screamed in pain, but Nanjiao didn't. He easily pushed away Liu Xiaona's hand, shrugged and smiled.
"I told you when I first arrived... I'm a special investigator from Base Zero."
"So what?" Song Yuqing was thinking of various ways to defeat Nanjiao.
South Suburbs:?
"Do you know Base Zero?"
"I only know that the base numbers start from 1." Xie Zetian rubbed his chin with his thumb and index finger.
"So you guys don't know anything. I've never met so many ignorant people."
Nanjiao offended everyone present with just one sentence.
The big golden knife in Xie Hao's hand was about to move, but was held down by Xie Zetian.
Nanjiao stood up and walked slowly in front of the shelves.
Song Yuqing was confused, and she tried to ask Master Fu for help, but Master Fu ignored her.
Nanjiao walked back and forth in front of the shelves. At a certain moment, he seemed to have just noticed that Song Yuqing and the others were staring at him: "Hey, what are you all looking at me for? Sit down!"
Sit down? Or kick this babbler out?
"Gaha~" Gaha spoke weakly. She felt that Nanjiao was a kind person, and kind people were not bad people.
Song Yuqing took the lead and sat down. She really didn't need to worry too much. As long as she was in the God's Supermarket, she was safe, and the staff were safe too. Song Yuqing picked up the chopsticks on the table and went to rummage through the beef in the pot. She wanted to see what medicine was in this Nanjiao gourd!
Nanjiao rubbed his hands and said, "Where do you want to start? From the origin of Base Zero, or Gaha's life story, or why I came to you?"
"Gahha's life experience." Song Yuqing did not hesitate too much, and Xie Hao was nodding frantically beside him.
"I was originally going to start with the origin of Base Zero." Nan Jiao sighed and continued, "Well, then, let's talk about Gaha's life experience. To talk about Gaha's life experience, we have to start from Base Zero..."
Song Yuqing: ...
Xie Hao: You liar, my expectations were in vain?
Gaha: Ga...ha...
In Nanjiao's narration, a world unknown to ordinary people before the end of the world slowly emerged.
Base Zero was a Noah's Ark built by a few wealthy individuals to prepare for an imagined apocalypse. They spent a decade constructing an underground city in the uninhabited desert, accommodating hundreds of thousands of people. They recruited a large number of retired military personnel and security experts to protect the base. They sourced supplies and equipment from various high-end manufacturing and high-tech industries, and employed a professional procurement team to secretly source and scout daily necessities worldwide. Back then, no one imagined that a meteor shower would bring about doomsday, or that zombies would replace them as the most suitable species to survive on this planet. While no one could accurately predict the future, there were always those who offered a protective umbrella for the future.
After the meteor shower, the surviving dignitaries fled to Base Zero, recruiting powerful psychics along the way. Gaha was invited to Base Zero because he saved a wealthy family.
"Gahha, her original name was Geng Kelin. Her parents are both martial arts enthusiasts, so Gaha has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and has excellent talent." Nanjiao looked at Gaha with eyes full of pity.
A month ago, Base Zero began contacting other bases. Gaha, who had been comfortable at Base Zero, applied to assist other bases. Nanjiao tried to persuade Gaha, but he was stubborn and refused to listen.
"Now you are neither human nor able to fit in with the zombies."
Song Yuqing rubbed Gaha's hair with heartache.
"Tsk tsk tsk." Nanjiao couldn't bear to watch what Song Yuqing did to Gaha.
"You know what? When Gaha was still human, she wasn't like this! She was a resolute and decisive female devil! Well, because of this, she was ostracized by the psychics at Base 10."
"Exclusion?"
"Yeah, Geng Kelin is so powerful even without any special abilities, and he even came from Base Zero, so those special abilities are jealous. I've investigated, and Kelin's wound is stained with zombie fluid, which was the work of those idiot special abilities!"
"Gaha?!" Gaha suddenly hugged his head and fell off the small stool.
