Chapter 511 Niu Hulu Li Si
Soon, the base's public address system announced the benefits for adults.
Each person can receive a free package. The packages are randomly selected and no one can see them. Whoever gets the package gets it.
Double the number of blind boxes?
The pickup point is right at the entrance of the mission hall. The package is covered by a black cloth and then transported over by a long conveyor belt. What kind of package you get depends on luck.
Before long, a long queue formed at this place.
"Hopefully I'll be lucky enough to open a restaurant."
"I'd rather have a cotton-padded coat or a quilt; it's too cold."
"No matter what it is, I am grateful to you, sir."
"Yes, and the base chief said that if there are extra packages, ordinary women can buy one with one point, which is like having two chances to open a blind box."
"Ahhh, I hope there are more, so I'll have two chances."
"That's right, one point really isn't expensive."
"Why should ladies go first? Adults are biased towards women and disregard men!"
"How could you favor girls over boys, sir? In the apocalypse, it's always been harder for girls to survive. What's wrong with taking extra care of us?"
"Exactly, if you think adults favor girls over boys, then don't pick up your package."
Why shouldn't I take it?
"If you're going to take the lead, then don't say that adults favor girls over boys."
"That's right, if you speak ill of adults, then don't accept any favors from them!"
"I didn't say anything bad about adults, I just wanted to take one more."
Hearing them arguing, the guard came over and said, "What's all the fuss about? If you keep arguing, you're both out of luck. Quiet down."
Immediately, the people in line shut up.
Soon, the package pickup event began.
Some people received large items, while others received small items.
Some people opened the box on the spot, cheering when they found something good, which drew envy from others, while those who found something useless sighed inwardly at their bad luck.
"It really is a cotton quilt. It's so big and soft. I knew it was a cotton quilt. It will be warmer to sleep tonight."
"Hey bro, wanna sell your quilt?"
"No, no, it's too expensive to buy with points, I'm not selling."
"Ahhh, what I opened was a bag of chocolates."
"Damn! I knew it wasn't anything good just by looking at how small it was. Sure enough, it's a row of lighters. It would be nice to have a pack of cigarettes with it."
"I opened a box of bird's nest, hehe."
"Damn, mine is Vitamin C, okay, this stuff is alright."
The base was bustling with activity, and there were even people making transactions on the spot.
For example, chocolate is something that you might not be able to buy even if you have points. However, some superhumans are generous and directly paid more points than the market price to buy the chocolate.
The person who sold the chocolates earned a large sum of points, which could be used to buy rice and flour to live on for a long time.
Pei Yi and the others watched this scene from afar, and were infected by the lively atmosphere, so everyone was in a good mood.
"No one can resist the joy of opening blind boxes."
"That's right."
"The luckiest person today is probably the one who got two packs of cigarettes, right? In terms of value, one cigarette can be sold for a lot of points, so how much can he sell two packs for?"
"It's lucky to get a snack gift pack too."
"I think the person who got the medicine was just lucky."
The group discussed for a while, and then Zhou Hang said, "I'm going horseback riding, do you want to come?"
Su Yimo asked in confusion, "What? Dawn has horses to ride? How come I didn't know that?"
Pei Xiu explained to him from the side: "The horse he's talking about is his father's father, who is his grandfather."
Su Yimo: "..."
Zhou Hang asked again, "Is anyone going?"
"No, you go by yourself."
"I'm not going."
"Let's go together. I'm going to the foot massage parlor; it's on my way."
Su Yimo was speechless: "No, Zhou Hang, how old are you to still be playing this?"
"Why can't I play it anymore? I didn't play it when I was a kid, and I was too embarrassed to play it when I grew up. Now that it's the apocalypse, what am I afraid of being embarrassed about?"
"..." You make a lot of sense.
"Xiao Liu and I went back first. I haven't learned to cook with my master today."
The group dispersed, leaving only Pei Yi deep in thought and Gu Zijin behind.
Pei Yi glanced at Gu Zijing: "Aren't you going fishing?"
"I'm not going today. Watching them unpack blind boxes is quite interesting."
Great minds think alike.
Three tall, handsome men squatted in a corner, like perverts, spying on the people in front of them as they unpacked blind boxes.
at the same time.
This time, not only the base chiefs of both Guardian Base and Dawn Base have been breached, but the residents have too.
The residents of the Guardian Base all cried.
Lu Fan, how exactly did you fawn over the adults? Why don't the Guardians have Dawn instead? They really want to open those blind boxes too!
As for the residents of Dawn Base, their defenses were even more compromised.
While the second and third sons next door have both gained the emperor's favor, they are still in the cold palace with nothing.
Seriously, Li Si, if you can't do it, just let someone else do it.
Our Dawn Base has never discriminated against anyone, so why don't the adults come to Dawn Base?
This must be the base commander's problem!
Li Si: "..."
He really will thank me!
He was already very sad that he couldn't invite any adults to the base.
Seeing that those two bastards, Lu Fan and Fang Juefeng, received the adults' favor and rewards, he was even more disarmed.
The residents of the base still don't understand him and think it's all his fault. He's really devastated!
"Aaaaaahhhhhh—"
The sound of the base commander crying could be heard from the office.
The assistant's eyes, swollen from crying, started to sting again.
No, you can't cry!
He knocked on the door, and a sobbing voice came from inside: "Don't bother me unless it's important. Don't you know it's very impolite to disturb someone when they're crying?"
“Manager Li, I think we should start preparing now. What we’ve prepared before isn’t enough. When the adults come to our Dawn Base, we still have a chance of winning.”
The crying paused for a moment, then the assistant pressed on: "And hasn't the manager heard? The first move always loses! Now that the Guardians and Dawn have played their cards, can't we just copy them? Even if we can't be better, at least we can be better than them."
The door was suddenly opened!
The assistant paused for a moment, then looked at the base commander, whose eyes were also swollen from crying: "You're right, call everyone, have a meeting!"
"But Manager Li, what about your eyes?"
Li Si pulled out a pair of sunglasses from somewhere and put them on: "From today onwards, I am Niu Hulu Li Si!"
"..."
Okay.
At least they've pulled themselves together.
Sigh, none of my family members understand. Our base leader is a crybaby; he often hides and cries in the middle of the night.
He knows too many secrets; won't the base chief kill him to silence him?
