Chapter 262 Parallel World
Last night, they learned from Xiaobai that this place was a parallel world to their Blue Star, but it was developing much faster than Blue Star.
Both their technology and weaponry are far more advanced, and the apocalypse is due to their rapid development, which has led to a severe shortage of natural resources.
Excessive development also released ancient viruses, so the planet began to protect itself, which can be seen as a new round of reshuffling.
They were all quite shocked when they learned the news last night. They never expected that this place was actually a parallel world of Earth. Seeing what it looked like now, they couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement.
After arranging the tables neatly, the group returned to the store. Meanwhile, a group of people shopping there couldn't help but tear up, because they had seen many things from before the apocalypse again.
"It's been so long since I've had this 'Happy Fat Boy Soda'! I used to love fried chicken with this soda the most!"
Since the apocalypse, I've been on the run every day. At first, I still had something to drink, but later, I hardly even saw bottles anymore. I miss it so much!
"You're right! These potato chips too! I've been craving them so much. I used to get tired of them when I was in school, and now I can't even get them if I want them. I never expected to see them here today!"
"Boss Gu and his team are my gods! This store is simply my paradise. I have to buy, buy, buy as much as I can."
"Yes, yes, I just saw Boss Gu set up a table at the door. Let's make some instant noodles and go out to eat. I also saw they have oden over there at the counter, let's get some too."
After we finish eating, let's hurry and collect some things from the surrounding area. Boss Gu said last night that he'd collect gold, silver, jewelry, and all sorts of ornaments.
So let's finish eating quickly and go look for it, otherwise someone else might have already looted it.
"That's right! Let's eat first and come back to shop later tonight! Anyway, Boss Gu and the others won't be leaving anytime soon!"
There's no rush. I'll just buy some snacks while I'm at it, and I won't be back for lunch!
As soon as he finished speaking, the group exchanged glances, then quickly went to the instant noodle shelf, picked out the flavors they wanted, and hurried to the counter.
The people who were talking just now were quite loud; those who were nearby could hear them clearly.
They had originally planned to go shopping, but now they all changed their minds.
Some people took instant noodles, while ordinary people simply bought a few bags of bread and hurriedly left.
After all, there was only one small town near their base, and there weren't many jewelry shops there. If they went too late, they would definitely run out of jewelry.
As for distant cities, they certainly wouldn't dare go there on their own, since the zombies along the way would be enough to give them a hard time.
Therefore, ordinary people like them wouldn't dare to go far without joining a group.
So, the store, which was just packed with people a moment ago, now only has a few scattered people inside, except for the superhumans who are still outside eating instant noodles and various meals.
Gu Xinyan and the others, who witnessed the entire process:
I must say, the people in this post-apocalyptic world are incredibly hardworking, especially ordinary people without superpowers.
That's normal, though. This is the apocalypse. If ordinary people weren't more diligent, they probably wouldn't have survived until now.
And so, one by one, the people inside the store left, and the superhumans who had finished eating outside also left with their teams, leaving only Gu Xinyan and her group inside the store.
Just as the group was discussing whether they should go out for a walk, Han Cheng led his men out of the base.
Seeing that they were heading straight towards the store, they guessed that something was up, so they went out of the store. Before they could ask anything, Han Cheng's voice came over.
"Haha, Boss Gu, good morning! I've brought over the crystal cores from last night, and I'm also buying a few other things." After saying that, Han Cheng gestured to the people next to him to bring out the crystal cores.
After receiving a meaningful glance from his minister, Zhao Yan quickly took out the crystal cores meant for the big shots from his own space.
Then, they also took out the crystal cores that they wanted to exchange this time.
The moment he took these things out, the store entrance was filled with more than a dozen large plastic bags, which were not tied tightly.
So the shiny, colorful crystal cores inside were exposed to Gu Xinyan and the others, making them all a little envious. The official base truly lived up to its official status!
If this one base alone has so many crystal cores in stock, then if the other three bases were to come, they would definitely be the big winners!
"Boss Gu, these are the crystal cores of the zombies from last night. We've cleaned them all."
Han Cheng picked up one of the bags and handed it to Gu Xinyan and the others, saying...
After saying that, he pointed to the other bags, then took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and continued:
"These crystal cores are what we need to exchange today. Everything we need is written on these sheets of paper."
And as for Boss Gu, I already spoke with the leaders last night, and I also notified the other bases.
They will likely arrive gradually over the next few days, and the leaders will also bring the documents.
Hearing this, Gu Xinyan nodded to indicate that she understood, and then put away the crystal cores that belonged to them.
He then reached out and took the paper from Han Cheng's hand. After glancing at it briefly, he told Xiao Bai to go and prepare it.
"Okay, we understand, Minister Han. We've prepared everything you requested. Let's exchange these crystal cores first! Once that's done, the rest of the items will be ready!"
Upon hearing this, Han Cheng turned and gestured to the people behind him to take all the crystal cores and exchange them.
Seeing that the group had nimbly carried the crystal cores into the store, he went to Gu Xinyan and the others and chatted with them casually.
So much happened last night that he didn't have a proper chat with Boss Gu and the others. Now that they could talk about it in detail, he was truly shocked by what he found.
This store has more than one floor! I originally thought the upstairs was a place for a few people to rest, since this one floor alone already has a very complete selection of goods.
Surprisingly, there were even more items on the second floor, and those items were all from other worlds, although they were currently only on display and not for sale.
But Boss Gu said that during the trade fair, you can trade with people from other worlds in person, which is a face-to-face transaction!
