Even with earplugs, Ye Zhou still didn't sleep well.
He was half asleep and half awake, and could even still hear the gunshots outside. He thought he was not asleep at all, but when he "woke up", it was still 9:30 in the morning.
There were already footsteps outside the lounge, and the employees were starting to work.
The supermarket may not seem to have much space, but the employees don't want to receive wages for nothing, so they will find things to do when they have nothing to do. Not only do they have to wipe every shelf clean, but they also have to wipe carefully the merchandise in the corners, even if they are still packaged.
So the entire supermarket is kept clean and tidy every day, and the tiles are polished until they are mirror-clear.
Although Ye Zhou felt that there was no need to be so meticulous, since the employees were willing to work, Ye Zhou did not say anything.
Working can make people more stable. Having money but doing nothing will make people lazy, and being poor and doing nothing will breed crime.
Work can also help people quickly find a sense of belonging.
After Ye Zhou woke up, he went to wash his face and brush his teeth. Zou Ming was not in the room, so he took out a walkie-talkie - he had only recently discovered that supermarkets actually sold walkie-talkies, but they were children's versions, and the range of their functions was very limited. It was more of a children's toy than a walkie-talkie.
Although he can now exchange with Yang Guoqin, he is worried about being monitored. Although the content of his conversation with Cao'er Niang is nothing terrible, he is worried that Cao'er Niang will suddenly say the word "immortal" one day, and then he will change from "man from the future" to "fairy from the sky".
And no one likes to be monitored.
After Cao'er's mother received the news that the immortal had woken up, she brought out the breakfast that had been kept warm. Since she was now responsible for everyone's three meals a day, Ye Zhou also raised her salary.
Now Cao'er's mother is the richest employee in the supermarket, and she really deserves the salary.
After all, eating instant food every day is not a good idea. Cao'er's mother now grows mushrooms, cooks, and does other chores.
Ye Zhou discovered that Cao'er's mother was a very "simple" person. That's not to say that she was unsophisticated, but that she was very stubborn.
Once she believes in something, she will persist in believing in it and will not turn back even if she hits a wall. She has her own set of theories and is not swayed by external things.
Even if Ye Zhou was cut open and his red heart was exposed, Cao'er's mother would insist that he was a god and find a reasonable explanation for his death.
Cao'er's mother walked into the lounge carrying breakfast.
She has now figured out Ye Zhou's taste.
Ye Zhou doesn't eat anything too salty or spicy - sometimes he craves spicy food, but even if it's considered slightly spicy by others, his lips will turn red.
But strangely, Ye Zhou likes to eat bitter melon.
No one in the store likes bitter melon! It's so bitter!
But Ye Zhou liked it. Not only that, he asked Cao'er's mother to only add salt and stir-fry the bitter melon when making it for him, without even adding eggs.
In the morning, Ye Zhou likes to have a cup of soy milk, two fresh meat buns, and a brown sugar cake.
Occasionally, Cao'er's mother would fry dough sticks for Ye Zhou. She would also make some pickled vegetables and cook vegetable porridge for Ye Zhou to eat with it.
That jar of pickles has now become Ye Zhou's exclusive property, and Cao'er's mother herself has never eaten it.
But Ye Zhou didn't have much appetite today. He only ate one bun and half of a brown sugar cake.
"Put the rest in the refrigerator when it cools down, and heat it up for tomorrow morning." Ye Zhou said to Cao'er's mother, "Where are Zou Ming and the others?"
Cao'er's mother: "They said they wanted to go out and take a look! There are monsters everywhere outside!"
"Is the immortal here to capture the monster?"
Cao'er's mother was always ready to see Ye Zhou display his divine power, flick his sleeves, and take away all the monsters.
Ye Zhou shook his head: "I won't care about these."
Cao'er's mother began to imagine Ye Zhou's motives: "With the heavens watching over us, even if the immortals have all kinds of magical powers, they can't use them. Alas! I think the people outside are all pitiful people. It's not easy for them!"
Ye Zhou smiled at her and said, "Go ahead and do your work. I want to go out and take a look too."
Cao'er's mother took the tray and retreated.
She looked worried and didn't know where to go to practice the crossbow. She wanted to learn, and so she followed Cao'er to learn.
But if I can’t practice, I don’t know how well I’ve learned.
She was now interested in the weapons held by those people outside. They looked more powerful than the crossbow, but she was afraid that she would lose sight of the opportunity and end up with nothing.
Cao'er's mother sighed slowly. Well, she should find a chance to practice the crossbow first!
Ye Zhou walked out of the supermarket.
He found that Zou Ming and his men were not idle and had joined the soldiers. However, the soldiers did not pay much attention to these people who suddenly appeared - after all, everyone was busy, and the soldiers did not know each other, so it was normal for those who were underequipped to wear casual clothes.
Ye Zhou saw Zou Ming and Chen Shu at a glance.
These two are really conspicuous.
But Ye Zhou's gaze lingered more on Zou Ming.
Chen Shu is a woman, and it is really wrong for a man like him to stare at a woman.
What Zou Ming was holding in his hand was not the machine gun he brought with him, but a repaired rifle. It looked like it had been through many battles and was about to be discharged. It was probably given to him by a soldier, but even so, the gun carried a fierce aura in his hand.
Ye Zhou hadn’t noticed it before, but now he suddenly realized that Zou Ming was so handsome.
Although I knew Zou Ming was a handsome guy when I saw his face before, we are both men and I can only think that the other person has a good-looking face.
But at this time, Zou Ming was holding the gun, his dark eyes calmly looking at the zombies in front of him. He raised the gun and shot mechanically and neatly. The recoil seemed to make his fingers tremble, but he didn't even look down.
It seemed as if he and the gun in his hand had experienced many battles and were reborn at some point.
"Awake?" Zou Ming put away his gun the moment he saw Ye Zhou. He walked towards Ye Zhou and said, "Yang Guoqin wants to see you. They want to buy another batch of bullets, but they want to buy on credit."
Ye Zhou frowned: "On credit? Can he afford it?"
Last night he wanted to sell the photon cannon to Yang Guoqin and make a profit of 3 million yuan, but Yang Guoqin has no money now? !
Zou Ming hummed, thought for a moment and said, "He said that the supplies from the rear have not been delivered. The corn tortillas delivered yesterday are the last of the Luoyang base's stock. If more are delivered, everyone in the base will starve."
Ye Zhou: "Do you think it's credible?"
Zou Ming shook his head slightly: "It's such a big base. Even if the tortillas are gone, we still have the tanks."
"He may not really want to buy on credit, he just wants to test your bottom line."
Ye Zhou nodded: "I think so too. In this plane, weapons should be more valuable than food. The land here can still be cultivated. Even if the manpower is limited, there are still high-yield foods, such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Although there are not many types of food, people will not starve to death."
"As long as you can fill your stomach, weapons are the most important and valuable things." Ye Zhou, "Just now when I saw you holding the gun, I was thinking that a rifle has been used for so long and has been repaired so many times but is still in use, which proves that they have limited weapons."
The more limited and scarce something is, the more valuable it is.
Ye Zhou smiled and said, "I'll wait for him to come and talk to me."
Ye Zhou looked into Zou Ming's eyes and asked, "Why did you all join?"
Among the several system employees, only Sarah did not participate - and no one dared to let her take a gun.
Even Zhou Yuanhe had a look of despair on his face as he shot at the zombies with his gun.
"There's nothing to do in the morning." Zou Ming said calmly.
Ye Zhou sighed: "It's time for Yang Guoqin to pay you wages."
How can someone work for free?
"Anyway, I won't let him take advantage of me. At most, I will earn less." Ye Zhou stretched out his hand towards Zou Ming.
Zou Ming looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then extended his hand.
Looking at the two clasped hands, Ye Zhou said: "...Actually, I want to try this gun."
Zou Ming: “…”
After Zou Ming quickly withdrew his hand, Ye Zhou discovered that Zou Ming's ears were a little red.
Is Zou Ming feeling embarrassed?
Ye Zhou tightened his lips, trying hard not to curl up the corners of his mouth. Everyone has embarrassing moments, and it is not good to laugh at others.
Zou Ming handed the gun to Ye Zhou and explained in detail: "This gun is relatively old, and its trajectory is also problematic. You have to press down when shooting. If you want to hit the zombie's head, you have to press down on its chest. This way you can be accurate."
Ye Zhou, holding a gun, walked to the position where Zou Ming had shot before. He raised the gun, feeling that he looked competent, and then thinking about what Zou Ming had just said, he aimed the gun at the zombie's chest.
Ye Zhou pulled the trigger.
After a "bang" sound, Ye Zhou looked at his wrist in disbelief.
Just one shot! He was numb from the base of his thumb to his wrist!
No wonder he had seen a woman being blown away by the recoil when she was using a hunting rifle in a foreign hunting video.
Just now, Zou Ming was holding a gun like this and shooting almost non-stop?
Ye Zhou stared in amazement at Zou Ming who was standing next to him.
Zou Ming: “It didn’t hit the head.”
Ye Zhou was not ashamed - he had only used a gun a few times and could not compare with an old hand like Zou Ming, so he said confidently, "I will definitely hit the target this time."
After yesterday's psychological preparation, Ye Zhou was not so afraid of zombies anymore.
Maybe the driver doesn't suffer from motion sickness, so when he was attacking the zombies, he didn't find them scary. All his attention was focused on how to hit the zombies on the head.
After finding a good angle, Ye Zhou tried to pull the trigger. After trying a few times, he looked at Zou Ming numbly: "My hand is numb."
Zou Ming did not laugh at him, and still looked calm and steady. Just when Ye Zhou thought that Zou Ming was going to let him go to rest, Zou Ming suddenly walked behind him.
When Zou Ming hugged Ye Zhou from behind, he felt for a moment that he was hallucinating.
Besides, is Zou Ming's chest so broad? !
When Ye Zhou was stunned, Zou Ming's hand had already clasped his hands, his chin resting on his shoulder. He whispered in Ye Zhou's ear: "You aim, I'll dunk."
Ye Zhou swallowed involuntarily.
Although he is a man, at this moment, he actually felt the male hormones in the novel.
Zou Ming is not only handsome, but also very charming.
Of course, it would be better if the zombie opposite didn't stick out its tongue at him.
