Chapter 92: Elderly People (3)
The first floor refers to the basement floor; the second floor refers to the basement floor; the third floor refers to the basement floor.
Song Yuqing swallowed hard. Wow, I had heard Nanjiao talk about Base Zero before, but I didn’t think much of it. Now that I’ve seen it with my own eyes, I realize that this base, which existed before the apocalypse, is so magnificent.
The old man pressed the buttons for all three floors, saying that he wanted to play the role of a good host and let Song Yuqing and the others broaden their horizons.
The basement floor was the planting area. It wasn't spacious, but it was neatly arranged, like a pre-apocalyptic greenhouse. Most of the plants inside were hydroponic. Sadly, looking around, less than 30% of the plants were still alive.
The second floor below ground is the residential area, with a semicircular building as the core and apartment buildings arranged around it.
The third floor below ground was the research institute. Song Yuqing only saw a series of closely packed rooms. If it weren't for the old man's introduction, Song Yuqing would never have believed that this was a research institute.
"After all, there are many experimenters and subjects at Base Zero."
The old man walked out of the elevator with his hands behind his back.
A few middle-aged men, all wearing lab coats, came towards them. They glanced at Song Yuqing and the other three, said nothing, and just nodded and greeted the old man.
"Are you back?"
The old man smiled and said, "Yes."
"Are you also an experimenter? A scientist?" Song Yuqing couldn't help but ask.
The old man smiled but said nothing.
"It's not the experimenter, but the subject you mentioned?" Song Yuqing equated the subject with the guinea pig in his mind.
The old man laughed and said, "Song Yuqing, you are smart."
Song Yuqing frowned slightly and felt some sympathy. Who would be willing to be used as a guinea pig?
"Why would you..." The old man interrupted Song Yuqing before he could finish.
"Of course it's because I'm special."
"What's special about you?" Liu Xiaona started gossiping.
"Special abilities."
Time and space abilities are special. Could it be that this old man has one of them?
Song Yuqing analyzed silently.
The old man stopped in front of a house with a sign that read "God's Supermarket Service Station".
"We're here."
The room wasn't big, only about 30 square meters. Inside, there was only a security door, a computer server, a table, and a chair. Sitting on the chair was a chubby boy.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" The fat boy heard someone come in and without raising his head, he kept typing on the keyboard.
"These are the store manager and staff of God's Supermarket." The old man said lightly, and the fat boy suddenly raised his head when he heard it.
"!!! Yes! Someone from God's Supermarket?"
The fat boy jumped up nimbly, passed the old man, and jumped in front of Liu Xiaona. He grabbed Liu Xiaona's hand and held it tightly.
"Hello, store manager, I'm a volunteer and builder at the God's Supermarket Service Station."
Liu Xiaona retracted her hand awkwardly and looked at Song Yuqing.
“That’s the store manager.”
Song Yuqing smiled but said nothing. She had experienced this kind of scene more than once, both before and after the apocalypse. At first glance, no one seemed to believe she was the manager of God's Supermarket.
Song Yuqing looked into the fat boy's eyes. Yes, this woman who looked nothing special was the manager of God's Supermarket.
"Hello, we are here to take a look today."
The fat boy was puzzled for a few seconds, then reacted and smiled awkwardly: "Oh, so you are the store manager."
"Since we are here today, we might as well redeem the prizes from the raffle." Song Yuqing didn't care about the fat boy's reaction and expressed his thoughts.
At the God's Supermarket, some prizes had been packed and shipped, but the second prize of the feast, the third prize of the giant panda playmate, and the first prize of the one-day tour of the space had not yet been redeemed.
Since I was already here, I exchanged the meal and the opportunity to play with the giant pandas.
"Well, I forgot to tell you, I'm the lucky winner who won the first prize." The old man tilted his head embarrassedly.
"you?"
What a coincidence?
Song Yuqing remembered the online name of the first prize winner, which was "Tomorrow's World".
The old man patted Song Yuqing on the shoulder and said, "Yeah, maybe all my recent luck has been used up in winning the lottery."
Then he turned around and told the fat boy: "Go and inform the winners, and then we will meet at my house."
"Your home?"
"Yes, use my kitchen to prepare a feast."
Song Yuqing nodded. The old man was very thoughtful and enthusiastic. He took the person home when they met for the first time.
Little Meat Bun lowered his head in distress. Did he have to play with her for another day?
It reached out to pull Song Yuqing's arm and said, "It's okay for me to suffer a little for you."
The old man’s home is on the second floor below ground. After getting out of the elevator, he still has to walk back and forth in the alley, which takes forty minutes.
The apartment has five floors, and the elderly man lives on the top floor, which has three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. This is the house assigned to Base Zero as a subject in the experiment.
Song Yuqing took out fresh meat, tomatoes, cucumbers and other ingredients that could enhance superpowers from the space and gave them to Liu Xiaona to prepare a big meal.
As soon as they entered the house, the fat boy and a few others came to the door.
Fifteen second-place winners and ten third-place winners.
All of a sudden, the old man's living room was crowded with people and became noisy. Song Yuqing even felt that the air in the room had become polluted.
Little Roubao sat on the sofa close to Song Yuqing, hoping that the time to play with him would come later.
Song Yuqing touched the little meat bun's head, and the little meat bun cheered up and straightened his back.
I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready.
"Where is the third prize winner?"
“This, this!”
"To play with the giant panda, do we each have one day?" someone raised their hand and asked.
When Little Meat Bun heard this, his body froze.
"No, we have to hurry back to the God's Supermarket. Our time at Base Zero is limited, so today we can only play with Little Meat Bun together."
Little Meat Bun breathed a sigh of relief.
"How can that be possible?"
"It's all the same. It's okay. We should be considerate and sympathetic."
The little meat buns look cute and make people smile.
"Okay, let's go play in the bamboo forest!" someone said, and started to rub the little meat bun.
"Let's go!" The third prize winners surrounded the little meat bun and walked out the door.
After nearly half of the people left, the living room became a little more spacious.
Song Yuqing asked the fat boy to borrow a few long tables and put them together to form a long buffet. After Liu Xiaona finished cooking the dishes, they set them out in a long row, and then distributed them on plates and bowls. Everyone helped themselves to what they wanted.
This idea was suggested by the old man, and Song Yuqing began to thank the old man from the bottom of his heart.
After finally finishing the work, it was already evening.
As soon as the buffet was served and the second prize winners started eating, Song Yuqing, Liu Xiaona and Gaha slipped into the old man's study and sat on the carpet to rest.
The old man was happily picking up food from his plate, but when he turned around and saw that Song Yuqing and the others were gone, he looked around. He saw that the door of the study, which had been open, was closed, and his eyes suddenly fixed.
