Short wooden barrel weapon?
Shi Jiu was shocked. She had never seen this thing since she came here. People coming in and out used either iron sticks or wooden sticks. Although they had lethality, they were not as powerful as this kind of weapon.
Before Yin Xue came in, he saw that the area around the villa seemed to have been cleaned up. It was quite clean and tidy, and there were basically no zombies wandering around. When he stepped into the gate of the villa, the air inside and outside seemed like two different worlds.
The air outside was a little fishy and dirty, the smell coming from the polluted land and water as well as the zombies. But in the villa, there was only the chilly air after the snow, with a faint scent of flowers.
Looking forward, there is a small flower garden not far away, and further ahead is a large piece of land and a crowd of people, it is a bustling scene.
This... is this land that can be used for planting?
Yin Xue was astonished as he looked at the vibrant vegetables and lively poultry growing in the fields. Had the base in City B developed so rapidly? Even the pollution problem that so many researchers outside had struggled to overcome had been solved here.
He immediately took a few quick steps and when he approached the small flower garden, he saw someone watering the flowers. He asked the other person in a friendly manner and wanted to see if the people here were the same as the ones he had just met.
Shi Jiu was surprised by what he was carrying and put down the scissors in his hand. "This is not a base. I am the owner of this villa. What are you doing?"
Not considered a base? Yin Xue didn't show any emotion after hearing this. "I came here from outside... I'm afraid I can stay here temporarily."
Originally he wanted to say that he came in from outside to investigate, but then he changed his mind and decided to stay and see what happened first.
Shi Jiu looked at his clothes and his mental state, but he didn't look like someone who was fleeing at all. His efforts were not good enough.
But she didn't expose it, as for the system's reminder just now.
"001, what if he used that thing in the villa? There are so many people here." Shi Jiu's only concern was safety.
"Don't worry, host. The villa's defense system will pop up immediately. This attack power is not a big problem." 001 said confidently in her mind.
After all, it is a product of high technology, and this small problem has no impact on the system at all.
Shi Jiu felt relieved after hearing the assurance and pointed the way inside. "Just walk into the tallest main building and you can go through the relevant procedures."
She had no intention of going in with anyone else because she was too focused. Anyway, once they got in, Qin Lou would help her summarize the problem.
Yin Xue walked in cautiously. There was a small path in the villa that was specially cleared of snow for people to walk on. This was a small task that Shi Jiu would issue every day. Although the money was not much, the work was simple, and many people were vying to do it.
As Yin Xue walked, he looked at the scenery in the fields next to him. The more he looked, the more magical it seemed to him. Not only was there no snow falling, but there was also a small stream nearby for them to draw water for irrigation. It was flowing happily in this icy and snowy weather.
Even as he walked to the main building, he was still immersed in the joy of the fields. The people who were sowing and raising crops looked so energetic and spirited, with their faces filled with the beauty of life.
After entering the lobby, the brand new and modern equipment made him feel like he was in another world.
He walked into a self-service membership machine and quickly registered based on his previous instincts. Only then did he realize it after holding a thin card.
No wonder those people before were so greedy when they saw the crystal cores. It turns out that they are the hard currency here.
After he registered, he did not turn around and leave immediately. Instead, he inserted the card into the machine, and various check-in requirements immediately popped up.
Yin Xue saw the difference between short-term rental and long-term rental, and couldn't help but click on long-term rental, wanting to see what this long-term rental was like.
But after entering, it showed the numbers of more than 10 apartment buildings, but he could not click on the rental.
Dear guest, based on our system query, we have found that you have not made any significant contributions to Sifang Villa or stayed there for a full seven days. According to regulations, we cannot currently offer long-term rentals. We hope you can understand.
Helplessly, he returned to the previous page and clicked on another option, short-term rental.
There were many room types for him to choose from. He looked at the expensive suites and hesitated for a moment before choosing the large bunk bed.
There is no way. There are only a few spaces left in the cheaper bunk beds. Even if more single rooms are added, they cannot accommodate so many people.
Seeing that the balance on the membership card was zero, he touched the crystal core in his trouser pocket, then turned around to look at the surrounding decorations. He decided to observe the whole place before making a decision.
Anyway, he no longer uses his supernatural powers after coming in, so he can recover slowly.
Just when Yin Xue was about to walk around and see if there were any good things here, Yan Yue came down nonchalantly with his cell phone in his hand.
Last night he felt happy for the first time in a long time. After fiddling with the phone he bought, he got to know its general functions. What attracted him most were undoubtedly the well-made games.
So he lay in bed and played happily until two in the morning. Coincidentally, he started playing at around ten o'clock and continued for another two hours in the early morning of the next day.
When the time was almost up, he was so sleepy that he fell asleep without noticing the time limit notification that popped up on his phone. When he woke up early this morning, he wanted to continue playing the game, but he couldn't open it at all.
So, he hurried downstairs and went to the counter to ask Qin Lou, "Is there a problem with the quality control of your phones? Why didn't they work when I woke up this morning?"
Qin Lou saw the dark circles under Yan Yue's eyes and guessed that he had stayed up late. "Mr. Yan, why can't you use your phone? If it's a game, you have to pay attention to the time. You can only play for two hours a day. This is the anti-addiction design of the phone, and there is no way to solve it at the moment."
Yan Yue wanted to say a few more words, but when he heard what Qin Lou said, he picked up his phone and took a closer look at the backstage. It turned out that he had really used up all the game time last night.
"Ah! There is such a design. It's too unreasonable. I'm not a child." Yan Yue complained indignantly and then left.
There was no way around it. The phone's design couldn't be modified. What if he continued arguing with the guy in front of him and triggered the fine mechanism again? Crystal cores were very valuable nowadays. He was already feeling sorry for the 500 crystal cores he was fined for.
Yin Xue, who was standing aside, listened to the whole process, looked at the special mobile phone in the vending machine in amazement, wrote down the price, and went out to the left aisle.
In front of him was an apartment building area. He saw that the apartments were basically full of people, there were shops on the street next to it, and there was also a supermarket that looked very grand.
This kind of life atmosphere made him unable to help but push a shopping cart in to go shopping.
The first floor is basically filled with food, packaged snacks, a wide variety of cold drinks and ice cream, semi-finished instant noodles, pickled mustard greens, ham sausages, and various seasonings from the kitchen.
The second floor is mostly filled with daily necessities, such as paper wipes, laundry, kitchen and bathroom cleaning, and daily household items, and half of the floor is dedicated to electrical appliances.
This villa can actually provide so many things!
What shocked Yin Xue was that all the labels were marked with the word "Sifang".
Is this real? After they finally killed a large number of zombies outside and built a shelter with great difficulty, all the things inside were worrying.
Where will the people find food and drink, how will they be provided with all the daily necessities, how will the supplies be planned, what will be the plans for the zombies to come, etc. It is not enough to just provide people with a place to live.
What makes people despair now is the pollution of soil and water sources. The progress in water sources has been quite effective. Disinfectants that can make water clean have been developed, but they have not been improved yet. It cannot be boiled and drunk directly. Various things need to be added to filter out the water.
Time is extremely slow, and currently they are surviving by the water resources that have been retained from previous times and collected from the recent heavy snow.
Not to mention the soil, everything I planted died, there was no progress at all.
This is why Yin Xue was so shocked when he saw what was in this villa.
What is available outside is not available here, and what is not available outside is available here.
He then went to restaurants, clothing stores, seed stores and other places. Finally, he quietly loaded all the crystal cores on his body into his membership card, bought a mobile phone, and got into the large bunk bed with his own number.
When he swiped the card, he was shocked by the high technology in the villa. He immediately closed the door and took out the intercom. This was too mysterious and he had to spread the news.
Shi Jiu trimmed several flowers and brought them in to put in the vase in front of the counter. "It looks pretty good this way, what do you think, Xiao Qin?"
As he said this, he adjusted the vase slightly so that the flowers could show themselves in a better posture.
"It looks great." Qin Lou looked at the freshly baked vase. "Boss, someone just came in, registered for a membership card, walked around the villa, topped up their crystal cores, bought a phone, and then went back to... the bunk bed."
Qin Lou said this while also confirming his choice of accommodation.
"I know. I got a tip as soon as he walked in. He was carrying a wooden cannon. I suspect he's from outside City B and came in."
"But he seems to be just looking for a place to rest. I sense that his supernatural powers are recovering." Qin Lou recalled the other person's figure and appearance. He didn't look like a refugee, and his living conditions seemed to be good.
"I don't know what the situation is outside, but it doesn't look too bad." Shi Jiu also thought of his down jacket, which was clean and tidy, and he looked energetic.
Yin Xue had never expected that before he went out on the mission, he was only caught and given the luxury of taking a bath with clean water and changing into the rare clean clothes that were left in the shelter, and he was mistakenly believed that life outside was good.
Maybe this is also what outsiders think.
Yan Ping woke up a little later than Yan Yue. He was still lying on the comfortable big bed, with his head resting on a pillow that was suitable for the human body structure, and it was unknown what he was thinking about.
"Old man, get up and eat! You're so old and you still need me to wake you up." Yan Yue went downstairs and bought two meals. After the old man came out, he didn't look like a leader at all.
Just as he opened his lunch box and was about to eat, Yan Ping, who was standing behind him, raised the supernatural power in his hand without saying a word and slashed at the table and chair where Yan Yue was sitting.
Yan Yue never thought that he was eating when the attack came inexplicably.
"Oh my god! Are you trying to kill me?"
Yan Yue sensed the sharp blade beside him and subconsciously picked up his lunch box and hid backward.
