Chapter 136 Confrontation
Secretary Wu looked at the surging crowd and rubbed his brows.
"Move aside, please let me pass."
The guard squeezed into the crowd to make way for her, and Secretary Wu reached the vending machine with great difficulty.
She looked at the bright and dazzling girl and thought about how to start.
"Hello, little girl. This place belongs to the fortress base. No foreign objects are allowed to be placed here without permission." Secretary Wu thought for a few seconds and decided to get straight to the point.
After the analysis and observation just now, she can already determine that this vending machine will affect the economic development within the fortress base.
"Secretary Wu...why don't you allow it to be displayed? This is a great thing that benefits the people!"
"Yeah, do people in our base have to buy from your own stores? There are many private supply stores operating in the base now!"
"Secretary Wu, don't forget that there were over 5,000 survivors at the fortress base! In less than a year, half of them left because they couldn't stand the high prices!"
"Humph, Mr. Meng is too narrow-minded, aren't you afraid of competitors? We all agree to put the vending machine here! Don't you agree?"
"right!"
"agree!"
Secretary Wu's face darkened slightly as he waved his hand at everyone, "Everyone, be quiet. Those who don't want to stay can leave at any time. No one will force you to stay. But those who want to live in the Fortress Base must obey President Meng's arrangements."
"Little girl, please don't make things difficult for me. I'm just an employee and I have to obey my boss's orders." Secretary Wu turned his gaze to Shannai again, his tone cold and calm.
"Is that so... But it's the end of the world now, and it's not easy to define the ownership of the territory directly. Besides... are your names written on this place? Will it respond if you call it?" Shannai blinked her big eyes with an innocent look on her face.
She was wearing a soft, fluffy bunny suit, with her little face nestled in a bunny-ear hat, her hands in her pockets, and her petite body wrapped in fur, looking cute and pure.
Li Ruizhi almost laughed at Shannai's cute and gentle tone.
Boss Cat was so powerful before, but now he is like a kitten, a typical example of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!
Secretary Wu narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and spoke again, "It's pointless to argue about this here, but since you're now on the fortress base's territory, you have to abide by our rules. Want to set up a stall? Sure, one thousand white crystals per month."
Everyone gasped.
Secretary Wu was clearly trying to make things difficult for Boss Mao. After all, most of the stalls were opened by the Meng family. Business at other people's stalls wouldn't be very good, and the base was too lazy to take care of them.
"How about this, Boss Cat, you can put the vending machine outside the base, and we can buy things outside!" someone suggested enthusiastically.
"Yeah, that's a good idea! I agree!"
Hearing that many people were defending Shannai, Secretary Wu sneered.
"It's not okay to put it next to the fortress base. Please leave here." Secretary Wu said calmly.
Shannai laughed when he heard this. "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I'm not going anywhere. I'll just leave it here!"
To be honest, she did have the idea of moving the vending machine to the door just now. After all, she couldn't be too arrogant inside someone else's base.
But I didn’t expect that the other party wouldn’t even allow it at the door, which was a bit too much.
Shannai is not an honest man. Since we are living in the end times, whoever has the stronger fist has the final say.
[Host, don't worry about them. They can't do anything to our vending machines anyway, hum.]
"Sorry, let's do it."
Secretary Wu stepped aside to make room for the guards behind him, intending to test her abilities first.
A team of 20 guards quickly surrounded Shannai. The two in the middle wanted to activate their mental powers first, intending to control Shannai first and prevent her from activating her powers.
Shannai licked her lips and was about to fight back when Li Ruizhi stopped her from behind.
With the turbulent lightning in his hands, he suddenly threw the two psychics away and knocked them to the ground.
"How about I protect the cat boss! Hehe." Li Ruizhi turned his head and winked at Shannai as if playing a joke.
His lightning ability is at the late fourth level, which is one of the more powerful attributes among combat abilities.
Shannai showed her little white teeth, nodded and gave him a thumbs up.
But before Li Ruizhi could feel happy, Shannai raised his hand and instantly electrocuted 20 guards and Secretary Wu, causing them to tremble and foam at the mouth.
3 minutes of electric shock is the fastest and coolest.
Li Ruizhi was drooling as he watched, they were both thunder-type, but the difference was too big!
Although I know that Boss Cat is very powerful, it is still quite shocking to witness a group of people being electrocuted to death up close.
When the crowd saw so many guards being subdued, their eyes immediately changed when they looked at Shannai.
No wonder such a little girl dares to challenge the Meng family. Her strength is extraordinary.
Many people want to apply for membership of Lucky Supermarket and rush to buy supplies, for fear that they will be sold out if they buy too late.
Suddenly the scene became noisy.
Many people went back to get their bags and funds, and told each other the news that was celebrated throughout the country.
They calculated that based on the rent they paid at the fortress base, if they were frugal, they could buy enough food for a month from the vending machine!
Even the poor can afford basic necessities like instant noodles and water. Isn’t this God’s blessing to them?
Three minutes later, Secretary Wu stood up tremblingly, his face pale and his body weak.
She took out the intercom, pressed a button, and said weakly, "Calling Mr. Meng, the opponent is very strong, and the vending machine is also very strange. It is recommended not to use brute force!"
Meng Huainan sat in the monitoring room with a frown on his face.
If he guessed correctly, this cat boss was the weird girl who had single-handedly taken down several bases a while ago.
"Such a young girl, not even as old as Fu Fu, hiss...how can she be so powerful? Opportunity! There must be an opportunity!" Meng Huainan patted his forehead and sighed.
The business battlefield before the end of the world made him extremely tired. Although he was only in his early 40s, his hair was already gray. However, in the past few years after the end of the world, he felt more relaxed.
Anyway, it’s great that the family is together and has enough food and drink. Meng Huainan actually wants to lie down and rest. He doesn’t want to work so hard to protect the family business like he did before the end of the world.
As a businessman, Meng Huainan was no fool. He thought for a while and made a decision. "Well, Secretary Wu, thank you for your hard work. I'll go over there."
Secretary Wu felt like she had been waiting for a century before finally receiving a reply. She breathed a sigh of relief, asked the guard to step back, and walked to a corner with few people, holding on to the wall, and slid down to sit on the ground.
Looking at the excited faces of everyone present, Secretary Wu felt deep down that the emergence of vending machines was actually a good thing.
She had seen too many people starving to death because they couldn't get supplies, and too many people going crazy just to get supplies...
The consumption level in our own base is not low, which has driven away wave after wave of survivors. It would be great if this vending machine could be successfully placed here.
But she has no say in the matter.
People in the wealthy area also got the news and came together to watch the fun.
They have enough food and clothing, and their material life is rich and colorful. They just want to try something new and join in the fun.
But unexpectedly, a group of rich people in gorgeous clothes were dumbfounded when they arrived at the scene in a sightseeing bus.
There were so many people that I couldn't even see the vending machines.
Meng Huainan also rushed to the scene.
"Mr. Meng is here to watch the fun too?" Rich Man A, wearing a mink coat, raised the corners of his eyes.
Meng Huainan adjusted his gold-threaded nanmu glasses and smiled politely, "Yes, I heard that vending machines are very mysterious. Let's take a look together. Mr. Zhang, please."
The bodyguard took out a loud speaker and shouted at the crowd to make way for Meng Huainan.
Meng Huainan, along with a group of people and the rich people, strode into the crowd.
