Chapter 38: Playing some tricks
"Open!" The crowd was excited and rushed to the base supermarket impatiently.
Lin Han stood outside the base supermarket at some point, looking at the ant-like crowd with satisfaction.
In order to avoid being exposed to Lin Han, Song Yuqing and Nanjiao had to retreat against the direction of the crowd, but their efforts were in vain and they were still swept away by the crowd and followed them into the base supermarket.
When passing by Lin Han, Song Yuqing almost forgot to breathe.
"Wait!" Lin Han shouted to the crowd.
It's over! I've been caught! I was careless!
Song Yuqing and Nanjiao looked at each other with sad faces.
"Line up!" Lin Han just shouted politely.
The crowd did not become orderly because of Lin Han's shout. They had finally waited for the promotion at the base supermarket, and no one wanted to be left behind.
The base supermarket was divided into three sections: food, medical supplies, and daily necessities. The supplies in each section were piled up in a chaotic manner, looking like three large piles of waste, with not a single item brought from the dead woods.
Among the pile of instant noodles and canned food, there is a sign that says "20% off". If you look closely, you will see that the original price is ten zombie crystal cores per serving, but after the discount it is only eight zombie crystal cores.
"Hey, this isn't right? Yesterday's food distribution was five zombie cores for one serving of food!"
Song Yuqing struggled to squeeze into the food section and picked up a can. He was shocked when he saw it. The can, which cost ten zombie cores, was expired.
Nanjiao pulled Song Yuqing over and pointed to the drinking water on the side, most of the packaging of which was damaged and bloated.
The people gathered in the food area fell into silence. Occasionally someone would complain quietly, earning a roll of the eyes from the base supermarket staff.
"It's okay, there's something else, let's take a look!" The crowd walked into the base supermarket and went to the medical supplies area.
Commonly used medicines and bandages are discounted by 10%, but if you look closely, you'll find that most of them are about to expire or have already become ineffective.
"This is useless even if we buy it, right?" someone in the crowd questioned.
"Yes, the price is too high!" Song Yuqing pinched his throat and deliberately agreed.
"Yes! Yes! It's not worth it, it's better to do it as usual..." The voices of discussion were chattering.
Song Yuqing secretly glanced in the direction where Lin Han was standing, and Lin Han's face looked a little uncomfortable.
"Cough cough!" Lin Han coughed a few times, and several psychics beside him flashed and blended into the crowd.
"This is a great value for money! It will last a long time!"
"Look at this, this is practical."
"Don't grab it, I took this first."
"You took so much, what's wrong with giving me some?"
Two or three psychics got into a fight in the medical supplies section, nearly coming to blows. Seeing this, some people rushed to buy supplies, unwilling to be outdone.
In the daily necessities area, some people also started shouting that items such as toilet paper and tooth soap are like luxury goods in the end times. If they are on sale today, they will make a profit if they pick them up.
Song Yuqing observed the reactions of the people around him, and the passion that everyone had suppressed was aroused again.
The residents of Base No. 27 have not taken a bath for almost a month. It’s not because they are unhygienic, but because they don’t have the money to take a bath.
"It's on sale. How many zombie cores do you want?"
"The original price was five zombie crystal cores, but now it's only one."
"That seems okay."
Song Yuqing looked at the soaps and toilet papers that were broken into two pieces for sale, and unconsciously looked at Lin Han with a look of contempt.
"Hey! Why do my hands feel itchy after touching this soap?" Song Yuqing deliberately lowered his voice and shouted in a very rough voice.
“It’s really dirty.”
"Do we really need these things?" Song Yuqing pulled the person next to him and asked for advice with a distressed look on his face. "You said I should save some crystal cores for future use, or do I have to buy these things? There must be a replacement for these things, right? Give me some advice, big brother?"
The person who was being held by Song Yuqing paused as he was reaching for the toothbrush.
A man with thick eyebrows and a wide mouth behind Song Yuqing frowned and thought when he heard what Song Yuqing said. The supplies he had snatched in his hands seemed to be unnecessary.
"Look, expired food is not tasty and such a small amount can't fill your stomach; expired medicine is not sure whether it is effective enough; half a soap has a very low cost-effectiveness..." Song Yuqing pretended to be worried.
"Shh, don't!" Nanjiao finally squeezed next to Song Yuqing and pulled the corner of Song Yuqing's clothes.
Song Yuqing pushed Nanjiao's hand away and nodded to Nanjiao, saying, don't worry, she knew what to do.
"Mr. Lin, this big promotion is too uneconomical!" The man with thick eyebrows and broad ears bravely shouted to Lin Han.
Once someone took the lead, many people began to complain.
Ah Hu walked through the crowd, walked to Lin Han's side, and whispered a few words in Lin Han's ear. Lin Han smiled with a forced smile and waved for everyone to be quiet.
"It seems like after driving Xie Zetian away, I've given everyone too many benefits. They're all eating well! Does anyone remember how hard it was to obtain supplies? These things, even if they're damaged or expired, are extremely valuable in the end times!" Lin Han glanced at the crowd. "This pricing is naturally justified. It's for the continued development of Base No. 27! I, Lin Han, have always been dedicated to Base No. 27."
The crowd was whispering, and Song Yuqing heard it clearly. In order to unite the residents to drive Xie Zetian away, Lin Han had put in a lot of effort to improve everyone's quality of life.
"That's also the result of our hard work. We fought zombies and dug crystal cores at all costs, only then we could get more food and daily necessities..." a little boy complained in a low voice.
Song Yuqing followed the sound and saw the little boy who had been fighting zombies with an electric baton in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other. The boy had grown taller, and the youthfulness on his face was gradually fading.
"I think it's unfair!" The little boy mustered up the courage and raised his hand to protest.
"Shh!" Lin Han put his index finger on his lips, looking a little impatient.
After a while, more than a dozen of Lin Han's men drove the people out of the base supermarket. Song Yuqing and Nanjiao also followed the crowd and walked out of the base.
What's going on with Lin Han? Song Yuqing was confused.
"No! We didn't say anything!" Someone panicked.
"The base supermarket has set up a special shopping event. Within twenty seconds, you can get ten zombie cores. You can get as many zombies as you want! And you can't use your superpowers." Lin Han smiled. "If you want to participate in the shopping event, please queue up."
Before the end of the world, he was always fooled by some supermarket promotion tricks. Now, it's his turn to use these tricks to fool others.
All for the sake of having more crystal cores.
Become the most powerful psychic.
The strong is king.
Lin Han raised his head and looked down on those who provided him with crystal cores.
Under the fierce urging of Lin Han's men, the residents of Base 27 formed a long line outside the base supermarket. Song Yuqing wanted to join the queue, but was pulled back by Nanjiao.
"Why do you always want to cause trouble?"
Song Yuqing shook her head innocently. She remembered that this time she was actually cooperating with Lin Han. The more zombie crystal cores Lin Han obtained, the more zombie bodies the God's Supermarket could obtain.
"So you're fanning the flames in there?"
Song Yuqing shrugged. Since Lin Han was holding a big promotion, he would definitely not let her gain nothing. She just wanted to try and see if Lin Han would make some concessions if someone protested.
Song Yuqing's gaze unconsciously turned to Lin Han, and suddenly their eyes met.
