The people outside struggled for several hours and finally completed the necessary procedures. Qinlou even placed a mobile phone vending machine outside and had to restock it from time to time.
Many things in the small town can be answered on the phone, so most people know where they are going when they walk in.
The deputy director and his group had already eaten and drunk their fill, and even towards evening, after dinner, they selected a few single people who had not yet decided on a house to rent for the night and took them back with them.
They put on a complete show and even reconciled their statements on the way, so that it really looked like they had this base.
"Don't mess up your performance. When you get back, someone might come looking for you to find out more. It's best not to stray too far from us. We'll have a place for you to sleep. If you leak the news, you won't be able to live in this small town anymore."
The last sentence was particularly important, causing them to nod repeatedly and swear in their hearts not to let the secret slip.
As night fell, most people in the shelter returned to their houses to rest. Only on the main street, one or two lights were on, slightly illuminating the main road.
They were relieved to see that no one was guarding the door. The deputy director asked them to go and rest, and he went to Li Sui's office. According to the previous plan, they had to pretend to go for a walk around the outside base every day.
They were busy doing their own things, but they didn't notice that a few people were stealthily poking their heads out from the corner, looking around, and then found a dog hole that no one knew about and crawled out.
"Be careful, don't get discovered." Qin Tian took the brunt of the attack and climbed out first, whispering on the other side of the wall.
"I got it! Don't block the road!" Qin Hang, who was following behind him, said viciously when he saw him blocking his way out.
What a disgusting guy! Qin Tian looked at this cheap nephew, and his disgust was almost comparable to Qin Lou who wanted to strangle him to death.
Behind them were Hu Lanjia and Qin Peng. After they got up, they shook off the dirt and snow on their bodies. It was winter and their clothes were too bulky, so they almost got stuck in the cave and couldn't get out.
"Qin Tian, are you okay? You asked us to crawl out of the dog hole in the middle of the night. It's so dangerous outside. What if there are zombies?"
After Hu Lanjia came out, she found that it was pitch black all around. She didn't know where the unknown danger would come from. She was so scared that she shivered and cursed under her breath.
"Don't worry, I have a map in my phone. If any zombies appear within ten meters of me, I will be reminded." Qin Tian raised the phone in his hand proudly. This was the magic weapon he was so confident in.
"You actually have a working cell phone! Give it to me!" Qin Hang was so excited to see the cell phone glowing in the dark that he immediately stepped forward and grabbed it.
"You!" Qin Tian didn't notice that the phone disappeared from his hand, but then he remembered the function of the phone and looked at him calmly with his arms folded across his chest.
"Huh? Why can't it be turned on?" Qin Hang fiddled with his phone for a long time but didn't see it light up, muttering to himself.
"Don't be delusional. It can't be opened without my fingerprint. Even the screen won't light up. You'd better return it!" Qin Tian said to him sarcastically.
Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Peng also said, "Okay, Qin Hang, hurry back. We need to hurry over."
"Tsk, what a piece of rubbish!" Qin Hang threw the phone back to Qin Tian with disdain, looking nonchalant.
You are the rubbish! Qin Tian touched the lost and recovered mobile phone with a loving touch. Fortunately, this function is powerful.
Then he didn't say anything more. He opened the map and walked towards the town in the night with the weapon in his hand.
Not long after walking, they saw a town as bright as day. Even from a distance, they could feel the warmth inside.
They hurriedly quickened their pace and appeared at the entrance of the town half an hour later.
The things that were placed in the afternoon were not removed. He had planned to do the same in the future. So Qin Tian looked at the machines outside and was still a little confused. He had only spent a huge amount of money to buy a mobile phone before, and he didn't know much about other things.
When Hu Lanjia saw someone at the door, and thought of Qin Tian saying that Qin Lou was already a big housekeeper, she instigated Qin Peng next to him: "Why don't you just step forward and announce our names, and let your eldest son come out to greet us."
When Qin Tian heard this, he subconsciously thought of how he had made a lot of noise downstairs in the morning, and quickly denied it: "This will easily alert the enemy. What if he knows you are coming and sends someone to drive us away?" By then, they really won't even be able to get in.
"Then what do you want to do?" Qin Peng looked at the brightly lit town in front of him, and in his heart he was quite yearning for the life there. No, it should be said that no one would refuse such living conditions in the apocalypse.
"First follow the requirements at the door and take care of your things before going in. I know where his office is and it's easy to find." Qin Tian said confidently.
So the four of them applied for membership cards at the door, and tacitly agreed not to rent a house. In their minds, after entering and finding the Qin Building, would they still need to find a house by themselves?
In this way, they successfully entered the town and got on the bus. It is worth mentioning that starting today, the bus will be charged. You can choose to swipe a card or pay a crystal core, 1 crystal core or four coins, with a preferential price. If you are detected to be of the specified age, the fare will be waived.
Several people were sitting on the bus, feeling very curious and looking around.
"I didn't expect that your adopted son is so capable. Living in a place like this, isn't this a blessing?" Hu Lanjia said sourly, feeling not only happy at the thought that she would live here in the future, but also jealous of her stepson.
However, no one responded to this. Qin Tian thought that when he saw Qin Lou later, he would make sure his elder brother taught him a lesson. Qin Peng lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. Qin Hang had a strange expression on his face. The scenes in his memory made him not feel afraid when he was about to face Qin Lou.
So in such a strange atmosphere, they arrived near the main building. As soon as they got off the car, the bustling atmosphere of the surrounding area hit them.
The reason they had no activities at night before was purely because their lives were unstable. Besides, many places did not provide much light at night, so without the conditions, they naturally went home to sleep.
There are two wide streets, and the number of shops is gradually increasing. There are also many entertainment facilities in the square not far away, so life is still lively in the evening. Even if most people don’t buy anything, they will come out for a walk and will not go home to wash up and go to bed until the shops close at 10:30.
It was exactly 12 o'clock when Qin Tian and his companions got off the bus. It was a very busy time.
"Wow! It's so lively here, and there are so many things for sale!" Hu Lanjia saw that there were snack stalls, all set up in planned locations. She hadn't eaten normal food for a long time, so she felt her stomach was very empty and wanted to rush forward to fill her stomach.
Qin Hang next to him had his eyes glued to the food. When he saw the vegetable roots and hard dried meat this morning, he felt like vomiting from eating so much recently.
"I'm going to eat something!" Qin Hang said as his body moved towards that side unconsciously.
"Wait!" Although Qin Tian was very excited to see the lively scene in front of him, there were more important things waiting for them to do. "Calm down, take care of Qin Lou. I think you can eat whatever you want. Hurry up and find Qin Lou first, otherwise it will be a problem where to sleep tonight."
"Okay... okay." Hu Lanjia and Qin Hang reluctantly turned their gaze away from the bustling streets after hearing this. "Hurry up and lead the way. Where is the Qin Building?"
The office building was easy to find, and they successfully got downstairs. Qin Tian also saw the guard who stopped him this morning, so he walked forward ostentatiously.
"Open the door quickly! I want to go upstairs to find my eldest nephew!"
The guard saw that it was Qin Tian who had come in the morning, followed by three people. His clothes were thick but tattered, and his face had not been washed for who knows how long. Only Hu Lanjia's face was clean. It was obvious that he had just come in from outside.
He frowned and said to Qin Tian: "Please wait a moment, I need to ask for instructions from above."
Qin Tian got angry when he saw that he was still being businesslike. "I came here once this morning! Didn't you see the relationship between Qin Lou and me?!"
"Even so, we still have to follow the notification process. Please wait, Mr. Qin."
Qin Tian looked at the guards at the door, who were more numerous than in the morning, and the serious expressions on their faces. He was helpless and could only wait anxiously by the side, hoping that Qin Lou would not hear that he brought several people with him and drive them out.
Qin Lou, who was still in the office upstairs, heard the news from below and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face. "I didn't expect it to be so fast. Let them come up."
Qin Lou stood up and moved all the important things on the desk. There was going to be a good show soon.
"Xiao Qin! Would you like some candied haws? There are so many people at the snack stand. These candied haws are so delicious, sweet and sour!" Just as he was waiting for the Qin family to come up, Shi Jiu suddenly walked into his office with two candied haws.
"Hmm... try it." Shi Jiu said vaguely while eating his own portion and handed the other one in his hand to him.
Qin Lou had no choice but to take it. However, seeing that Shi Jiu had no intention of leaving, he hesitated for a moment before speaking out, "Boss, why don't you go to bed so late?"
Shi Jiu glanced at the time. "It's only around nine o'clock now, it's still early. There's an acrobatic troupe performing downstairs. I just saw the preview, it's amazing! I didn't expect their abilities to be used in this way. After you finish your candied haws, I'll go downstairs and watch it with you!"
There were a lot of new customers today. It happened that both pedestrian streets were almost open, and she had also planned locations for snack stalls on some open space so that they could set up their stalls with peace of mind.
The acrobatic troupe I just mentioned seems to be still the professional ones from before, but now they have special powers and their movements are more fluid. They immediately seized the business opportunity and started performing in an open space, where they can receive tips immediately, thus making a lot of money in one night.
At this moment, the assistant's reminder came from the door, "Butler Qin, several people came to see you, one of them is Qin Tian who came this morning."
After hearing this, Shi Jiu blinked and took a bite of the candied haws. "Is it... your family?"
"Just the same last name." Qin Lou looked down at the candied haws in his hand and took a bite as if possessed by a magic spell. The sweet icing sugar wrapped around the sour hawthorn, creating a complex taste in his mouth, just like his current mood.
