Chapter 32 Chapter 032【VIP】
The newly opened cloth shop is doing brisk business. Dozens of old-fashioned looms in the weaving workshop are working non-stop. Although purchase limits are imposed on the cloth produced, the demand still exceeds supply.
As for the Golden Hammer Weapon Shop and Silver Hammer Furniture Shop, which have already started construction by the Cat Construction Team, they are under construction.
Everyone gathered in the foggy area, watching the Cat Construction Team coming in and out.
Actually, I can't see it clearly, but there is a hazy feeling.
Everyone exclaimed in amazement, finding it too magical. But think about it: since the apocalypse, all sorts of miraculous superpowers have emerged one after another. It's not surprising that a boss who could single-handedly build the "Taoyuan Base" would have the power to summon cats and form a magical cat construction team.
There was almost no need for Mingzhu to explain, as the onlookers just filled in the blanks in their own imagination and convinced themselves.
"Hey, there's another sign next to it."
"I saw it. It's a colorful white sign. Hundreds of flashing colorful black letters say, 'It's expected to be completed in six hours.'"
“It felt like I was playing a game.”
"I actually hope that the doomsday crisis in our world is caused by the loading of the Doomsday Game. As long as we complete it, we can resolve the Doomsday Crisis and restore our world to normal."
"Maybe it is, but they just don't let us ordinary people know."
Amidst the clamor, it seemed as if the apocalypse had been predicted. In reality, it was only half as accurate.
For Mingzhu, Doomsday is indeed a game, and when combined with the infrastructure system, the illusion far outweighs the reality.
For the natives of the doomsday world, reality is far more cruel than fantasy, so it is better to imagine that this is just a game.
As they talked, the crowd gradually dispersed after seeing enough of the strange sight. Some returned to their homes, while others formed groups of two or five to go out together in search of resources.
Suddenly, the crowds of onlookers at the buildings under construction began to thin out. Everyone had something else to do, and fewer people were waiting to see the buildings completed.
There were only two or two people around.
Today is also the day when restaurants and pubs open.
The restaurants and pubs are all in ancient Chinese style, but since they are built by the Cat Construction Special Team, they were built according to blueprints.
Although ancient architecture is good, it is not suitable for modern times. Fortunately, even if the core is damaged, the ancient Chinese architectural system that can be chosen has been improved no matter what kind of building it is.
In terms of name, it can be considered an antique building.
Since it is an imitation of an ancient style, it is natural that it has modern, even ultra-modern facilities, such as water, electricity, and elevators.
As for the supply of water and electricity, that was the work of the crystal core. An apartment building had water and electricity, but each household had to place a crystal core at the electricity and water meters.
In principle, a first-level water crystal core can supply a household with one ton of water, and a first-level gold crystal core or other crystal cores with water-excluding properties can maintain a month's electricity consumption.
This is the package of water and electricity. Compared to before the apocalypse, such a package of water and electricity for rent would naturally be criticized. But now it is different...
Taoyuan Base has a clearly marked price, so if you don't rent it, there are plenty of people who will. Besides Taoyuan Base, let's take the Shuguang Base, which is closest to Taoyuan Base. Although it seems prosperous, it is biased towards those with special abilities. Everything in Shuguang Base is settled with crystal cores.
For example, accommodation in a good location requires 20 second-level crystal cores per month. The first-level crystal cores can't even buy a pack of expired bubble tea.
It's definitely expensive, but that's relative to ordinary people. For someone with special abilities, it's simply too easy.
Every day they form teams to go out and kill zombies. The number of zombies killed by the superpower team alone can be counted in the hundreds.
In other words, the most conservative return is a hundred crystal cores per day. Ordinary people, with good luck, can kill a few zombies, but with bad luck, they can only become cannon fodder to attract zombies.
In short, people who have experienced the suffering of the doomsday, regardless of gender, will only regard Taoyuan Base as their home after entering it and feeling the peaceful and tranquil life, and will do their best to maintain Taoyuan Base.
Mingzhu could honestly say that the prices at Taoyuan Base were incredibly cheap. However... Mingzhu felt like he'd forgotten something.
"Cold snap!" 184 jumped up and down, waving his chubby paws. "Extremely cold weather. I told you about it a few days ago. Host, have you forgotten?"
Ah this...
Just say that you forgot something very important.
Mingzhu quickly notified the 25 employees working in the fields that after harvesting the crops, the cadres would switch to planting cotton.
As for cotton seeds, Mingzhu plans to try to buy discounted cotton seeds during the limited-time sale at the midnight event.
If you can't buy it, then buy cotton seeds at normal prices in the Trans-Time and Space Mall first.
"Don't worry, it will only take 10 days to find the cotton." Mingzhu comforted 184 and took the initiative to admit his mistake.
"As I get older, my memory just isn't good. Don't worry, if it doesn't work now, I can just go to City Z, City X, or City C to search for cotton and other supplies."
"It's been so long since the apocalypse, how can we still have good supplies?" 184 said doubtfully.
"In a city that hasn't fallen, there might be very few supplies left. However, in a city that has become a zombie paradise, supplies are definitely there. Zombies don't eat supplies.
After the doomsday, humans went from being the dominant force in the food chain of the blue planet to being at the bottom.
Zombies eat humans, and mutated plants and animals also like to eat humans.
Then what,
No matter what time, internal strife will always be a permanent part of human endeavor.
The downfall of many bases often begins from within. Once internal strife begins, those at the center of it will no longer care about external enemies, but only want to kill their opponents.
In this case, if their base is not destroyed, who will be destroyed?
And now, even though the reality is so tragic and human beings are struggling to make a living, wherever there are people, there will inevitably be struggles.
Mingzhu didn't quite believe that 184 could easily monitor climate change, and that City A, which had the most advanced technology before the apocalypse, would not have monitored the recent strange weather changes.
In fact, ever since the apocalypse, the climate across the country has become strange. Extreme cold weather does occur, but it's only brief, lasting only about two days, before the entire winter becomes warm like spring.
This summer, how should I put it, is definitely hot. In everyone's perception, summer should be hot, and if it's not, people tend to notice something is wrong.
"184, do you think I should set up a billboard?" Mingzhu suddenly said.
184: "Hasn't the host already set up a billboard?"
"That's a recruitment center... Wait, I can change it and turn it into the mission release center for 'Taoyuan Base'."
"The lobby of Taoyuan Inn is originally the mission issuing center of Taoyuan Base."
184 felt that Mingzhu's memory was getting worse and worse, and he deeply suspected that Mingzhu had Alzheimer's disease.
"If you have any warning advertisements, host, just post them directly. No need to change the billboards!"
Mingzhu: "...Oh, I forgot!"
