"If you want to enter the base, just cough twice and I will take you in." Wei Qu was also worried that he would be killed instantly if he got too close, so he explained his purpose from a distance.
Chen Hua and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Wasn't this man Sun Hao's subordinate? Would he be so kind as to let them in? Wasn't there a huge trap waiting for them inside?
Wei Qu waited for a few seconds. There was no response from the other side. He knew they were still wary of him, but he wasn't disappointed.
"Your concern is normal, but if you want to enter the base, now is probably your last chance. He's unconscious and won't wake up any time soon. Once he does, he'll probably have a wanted warrant for you."
He briefly revealed Sun Hao's next plan and prepared to leave. He didn't intend to help them, but he was just paying a little attention for the sake of the hotel.
After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
When he was about to turn around and leave, two things were thrown to him from the opposite side. He subconsciously reached out to take them. When he took them in his hands, he saw that they were a bar of chocolate and a bottle of milk.
"you……"
After hearing Wei Qu's explanation, Chen Hua and the others observed him carefully again. They saw that there was no greed in his eyes and his expression was firm. He did not seem like a hook deliberately set by Sun Hao. They decided to take a gamble. If they were unlucky and exposed, they would have to run for their lives.
"This is the advertising fee given by the boss. Do you want to share it?" Chen Hua said simply, but Wei Qu was stunned, and understood after a little thought.
"The main group is about to enter the base. The gate is open now. Just follow me in." When a large group enters, the inspection will not be as strict. "Take off the things on your faces. Wearing them will attract more attention."
After saying that, Wei Qu walked out quickly and caught up with the large group. Fortunately, he was at the back and no one noticed him when he left for a while.
Chen Hua and others quickly followed him, pretending to be psychics who went in together. Just as the person at the door had verified the information of the team leader, he did not check the people inside too much and directly opened the door to let them in.
Everyone entered the base smoothly. The situation inside was no different from when they left. The four were worried that they would be recognized if they continued to follow behind, so they agreed on a time and place with Gao Ziang and Meng Xingxiu and blended into the crowd.
Gao Ziang followed behind Wei Qu, looking at the relatively lively scene inside Longhua Base, and couldn't help but sigh, "This place is still much better than our place."
It’s nothing like the Ping’an Base, which was a stagnant pool before we left, and there was a shameless and greedy goalkeeper who wanted to skin them alive.
Wei Qu glanced at him and distanced himself from the person in front. "What's good about it? We've encountered a leader with evil intentions. This excitement is just an illusion."
"But there are quite a lot of people with special abilities here. Aren't there also quite a few ordinary people on the road? They seem to be doing well." Meng Xingxiu looked around and it didn't look like a fake.
"The base's supplies come from our teams going out to search and then exchanging points. Basically, the people inside live by exchanging points for supplies. Of course, points can also come from other sources." Wei Qu also thought this was a good idea at first.
"But the ratio of points to supplies is getting bigger and bigger. The same number of points can be exchanged for less and less supplies as time goes by." This is why Sun Hao is anxious to occupy the hotel. In addition to greed, it is also because the supplies in the base are being consumed day by day.
Of course, it’s not the time when they can’t hold on any longer. Wei Qu looked at these ordinary people in front of him. It was the same as what he had thought at the beginning. He always thought that once he found a base, he would find a place to settle down.
"We are going to gather, do you want to join us?" Gao Ziang saw that the people in front had dispersed and it was almost time, so he had to hurry up, otherwise he might not be able to get out the door when Sun Hao woke up.
Wei Qu thought about it and decided to go with them. The three of them found a corner, which was exactly the corner where Chen Hua squatted when he came back to resell. Now he handed the chocolate and milk in the bracelet to other people in batches, and then he would move through the crowd, ready to introduce the hotel to everyone he met.
Wei Qu, who rushed over, was shocked when he heard this. He thought, "How can this method work? Who would want something that you give to someone else? You're still worried that you might poison it!"
"This method of yours is not advertising at all, it's simply reverse marketing." Wei Qu expressed his disapproval. After thinking about it carefully, the others also felt that it was inappropriate.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Li Xia was an impatient person. Time was running out, so he couldn't just sit here and think of a solution, right?
Chen Hua thought for a moment, "Our previous affair should not have been exposed yet. Now that Sun Hao is unconscious, all the people over there should be on him. I'll take a gamble and set up a stall. Some people keep asking me where I got the things I sold last time."
Zhao Jin had other ideas. "Xiaoxiao and I will go and ask those who were interested before to see if there is anyone willing to leave the hotel. Then we can split up."
Wei Qu looked at the two unfamiliar faces of Gao Ziang and Meng Xingxiu and said, "I have an idea. I want these two to act together."
Seeing that Wei Qu didn't look fake, Chen Hua immediately made the decision, "Then we will split into three groups and finally meet at the original corner outside the gate."
The three groups of people dispersed and each went to the place they wanted to go.
Zhao Jin and Jiang Xiao came to the tent area where they lived before. It was time for lunch, but the food nowadays was not so good. Many people would change from three meals a day to two meals a day to reduce the consumption of supplies.
Just as they were looking at the crowds of people inside, not knowing where to start, a small voice came from the side, "Sister Zhao!"
When Zhao Jin turned around, she saw an aunt who used to live next door sticking her head out and shouting at her.
"Aunt Zhao, what's wrong with you..." Zhao Jin said in surprise and hurried forward. The middle-aged woman opposite who was calling Aunt Zhao opened the tent and wanted to let her in.
But Zhao Jin still hesitated. The current situation was unclear, so he should be cautious. "Aunt Zhao, let's go out and talk."
Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a woman holding a baby inside. She remembered that it seemed to be her child and quickly added, "Going in will easily disturb the child, so we can stay outside."
When Aunt Zhao heard this, she realized that this made sense. The child finally fell asleep, so she crawled out and walked to the side with the two of them.
"Sister Zhao, why haven't I seen you these two days? Were you delayed while out looking for supplies? Is everything okay?" Aunt Zhao and Zhao Jin were from the same village before. Although they were not relatives, they knew each other.
At that time, Zhao Jin's family did not escape. Zhao Jin was working outside and escaped. Aunt Zhao's family also escaped the siege of zombies because they had to take care of the children and found something wrong that night. Unexpectedly, they met them again when they entered the base before.
Zhao Jin admired this straightforward aunt very much. It was because of her that their family was able to escape to the base safely and be together as a whole.
"I won't be in the base these two days. I plan to leave the base." Zhao Jin told the truth. Judging from Aunt Zhao's expression, the matter on Sun He's side had indeed not been exposed.
"Can't make it in the base anymore?" Aunt Zhao didn't blame her for thinking that. Admittedly, in the eyes of many people, the base was so good, but there were zombies and other strange beasts popping out from time to time. Only someone who was too desperate would leave the base.
"Did someone bully you? Tell me and see if your aunt can help you!" Aunt Zhao's son is also a person with superpowers, but he is not the kind to be a team leader, so he did not have the initiative to follow the leader this time.
"Not really... I just found a good place..." Before Zhao Jin could finish his words, a weak cry of a child was heard from the tent.
Aunt Zhao heard the child crying, and a look of worry appeared on her face. "Actually, I know why you want to leave the base. My daughter-in-law doesn't have enough to eat every day. Her breast milk is not enough for the child to eat once. Poor them, mother and daughter."
As she spoke, she subconsciously covered her stomach. In fact, she couldn't eat enough. She hadn't had time to eat in the morning and just wanted to wait until noon to eat.
Zhao Jin was stunned. She was still able to exchange for supplies before she left. How come she couldn't eat after only two days?
As soon as Aunt Zhao's child started crying, the children nearby seemed to have found an ally and started crying too, but their voices were very weak, not like the loud cries they had heard before that made them want to flee the place immediately.
Zhao Jin thought for a moment, exchanged glances with Jiang Xiao, then took off his backpack, took out two bottles of milk and two bars of chocolate, and handed them to Aunt Zhao.
"Aunt Zhao, if you trust me, please give the milk to the children. During this special period, I don't have any milk powder. I'll give you some chocolate to fill your stomachs and replenish your energy."
The milk in the mall is all 500 ml, and the chocolate is also in large bars of 500 grams. At this time, no one thinks that chocolate is too greasy. Sweet and high-calorie food can always bring happiness to people who cannot afford three meals a day.
Aunt Zhao looked at the food in front of her, and her eyes lit up instantly. She looked around carefully, then quickly took the food and hid it under her clothes.
"Girl, where did you get these? We don't have these in the base right now. No matter how many points or food I get, I can't exchange them for them!" She was so excited, but tried to lower her voice and screamed softly.
"Give it to the child first. Adults can tolerate it, but children can't." Zhao Jin didn't talk about the hotel first, and advised her to take care of the child first.
"Oh, yes, yes, sisters, wait for me a moment, I'll go in first!" After saying that, he hurried back to the tent and took out all the food for his daughter-in-law.
"Hurry! Lili, eat some food first and feed the baby!" Even though Aunt Zhao was very excited, she did not forget to check whether there was any problem with the bottle of milk. After confirming that there was no sign of opening, she opened the lid and poured a little out to drink herself first.
"Hey! Mom, don't!" Lili watched her mother-in-law bring in milk and chocolate from outside. Before she could be surprised, she saw her drink the milk first.
"Mom, please be careful. What if this thing comes from an unknown source and something happens to your body?" Lili had no time to stop her mother-in-law. She was scared when she saw her drink it.
"Lili, I know what you're worried about. I'm old enough to try some poison, but the child can't wait!" She smacked her lips and said, "This milk is so sweet, unlike anything I've had before."
After saying this, he looked at the milk in his hand and whispered to his daughter-in-law, "I know the kids outside. Although I don't have a keen eye, I can still sense their kindness."
Lili did not refute this. She believed that the fact that her family was able to reach the base safely was also thanks to her mother-in-law's sharp eyes.
After waiting for a few minutes, Aunt Zhao didn't feel anything wrong with her body, so she asked her daughter-in-law to feed the child. Looking at the child swallowing with big gulps, Aunt Zhao showed a bit of confusion. Can she continue to stay in this base?
After Zhao Jin and Jiang Xiao waited outside for a few minutes, Aunt Zhao came out and pulled them aside. "Good children, Auntie really thanks you for the milk. I want to order some more next time. I wonder what your price range is? I can also pay for the ones I just bought!"
Aunt Zhao thought to herself that since the base didn't have any, she would have to order it from them. After the child drank the milk, he stopped crying and fell into a deep sleep after burping. He was really hungry before, and she couldn't bear to see the child suffer any more.
"Auntie, to tell you the truth, we don't sell this. It was an accident that I came here. The place that sells this milk... I don't know whether I should tell you or not." Zhao Jin said hesitantly, keeping in mind Wei Qu's advice just now that he couldn't say this right away.
When Aunt Zhao heard this, she realized there must be something fishy going on. "Sister, be honest. We're from the same village after all. You can't hide this from me!"
