Chapter 139
Combat uniform
Being under your eyes all day, with every move being monitored by you, Fang Xin thought about it and decided to give up. It was too uncomfortable. "No, I'm fine in the outer area."
"Then I'll find you a job in the inner city."
Fang Xin didn't want to be anyone's slave or work for anyone. She had no worries about food and drink and could live the way she wanted every day. Wasn't it nice to be free? Why should she be so unreasonable and accept someone's control? She refused without even thinking about it.
"No, thank you for your kindness."
Old Man Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Okay, give me your ID card, I'll top up 10,000 points for you, and then give you the qualification to enter the inner area, what do you think?"
Fang Xin thought this was possible. It would be better to give her something practical than anything else. She agreed straightforwardly, "Okay."
"Then can I go into the inner area to buy things?" Fang Xin saw shops in the inner area both times he came in. The goods inside must be different from those in the outer area.
"Of course."
So Fang Xin readily took out his ID card and handed it over.
Instructor Yan quickly took it and said, "I'll do it for you."
Fang Xin thanked him sincerely, "Thank you."
"Wait a moment. It will take a while for him to get better. Just stay with me, an old man, for a while."
Fang Xin had no objection and nodded.
It was quite awkward for the two of them to sit here. Fang Xin didn't have much to talk to the old man about, and was afraid that he would try to trick him, so he simply kept silent.
Old man Yan asked for the sake of conversation, "How old are you?"
Fang Xin looked up in confusion and looked at Old Man Yan. Didn't you strip my underwear off?
Old man Yan covered his lips with his fist and coughed awkwardly.
Fang Xin didn't let the other person's words fall on the ground. After all, he was the boss of the base, so he replied, "21."
"You are so young."
"When I was 21, I was a rookie soldier, learning my trade in the military camp."
"But now you have become a leader second to none. No one can reach your peak."
Fang Xin flattered him bluntly.
Old Man Yan smiled slightly and did not continue Fang Xin's words. Instead, he said solemnly, "I have long noticed that there is something wrong with the fourth in command of the base. Before the end of the world, he was in a high position and had a certain prestige. Many people supported him."
"After the apocalypse, he was in charge of the distribution of some supplies in the base and had a certain say. Without solid evidence, we can't touch him in the short term."
Fang Xin nodded in agreement. It was just like in the court, where all the ministers used their own methods and strategies, and it was not so easy to bring down one person.
If Fang Xin had not accidentally seen it this time and followed it into the tunnel, and had not obtained conclusive evidence, this base would probably never have been discovered to have been coveted for a long time, and was even slowly corroding until the day the building collapsed.
"By the way, thank you."
Fang Xin said politely, "You don't have to thank me. Anyone would do the same as me."
The two chatted awkwardly for more than twenty minutes before Instructor Yan finally came back.
"It's done."
Fang Xin stood up upon seeing this and said, "Then I won't bother you any more. I'll go back first."
"Okay, when you have nothing to do, come here more often to keep me company."
"OK."
"Xiao Yan, send your little friend off."
"Okay, Grandpa."
"Come on, I'll show you around the inner area."
"OK."
Instructor Yan drove to the Sanwei area. The inner area is divided into four areas, and all the shops are in the Sanwei area.
The whole street is lined with shops.
Clothing stores, furniture stores, electrical appliance stores, daily necessities stores, drug stores, etc.
There was indeed a pharmacy here, with a complete range of medicines. Just as Fang Xin had thought, everything that was not available outside was available here.
Fang Xin went into every store and took a look. There were many styles of goods and the quality of the goods was good, but the prices were very expensive.
One piece of clothing costs 500 points.
Fang Xin was not interested in these clothes, as she had no shortage of them.
He just took a quick look and walked out.
Instructor Yan saw that she didn't like anything, so he said, "Let me take you to another store."
"Okay, let's go."
Instructor Yan led Fang Xin to a clean and bright shop. There were very few items inside, with only a few hanging on the shelves, making the shop look very spacious.
The materials of the clothes above are obviously different, with a slim fit, and they are all in handsome black.
When the shop assistants inside saw that it was Instructor Yan, they were all very polite and greeted Instructor Yan one after another.
Instructor Yan saw that Fang Xin was interested in combat uniforms, so he introduced them, "These are all combat uniforms, cut from special materials."
Fang Xin was indeed very interested. Looking at the material, the cut, and the stitching, it must be a good thing.
"Not only is it D-proof, it's also scratch and puncture resistant. It's much thinner than D-proof clothing, so it doesn't feel stuffy when you wear it."
Fang Xin nodded repeatedly after hearing this, this must be done.
So I asked the clerk, "How much is one set?"
"8888 points."
Fang Xin took a deep breath and complained in her heart that this was too expensive. The points that Old Man Yan had given her were quickly used up.
"If you like it, buy one and I'll give you a 50% discount."
I heard there is a discount, this is good, it’s a good deal not to miss.
"Okay, thank you."
“You’re welcome.”
"Can it be customized?" Such a good thing must be given to her dog.
Anyway, Old Man Yan must know that she has a dog, and she is not afraid of being exposed, so she said frankly, "I want to make one for my dog."
"Can."
"Okay, then I want two sets in my size, and one more custom-made for the dog." Fang Xin said to the clerk.
"Okay ma'am, please write down your dog's size here." The clerk said and took a pen and paper.
"Okay ma'am, the total is 13332 points."
Fang Xin happily handed the card over.
Fang Xin watched the clerk swipe the card, so he asked, "If the combat uniform is damaged, can it be repaired?"
"Yes ma'am, the maintenance fee is 1,000 points per time."
Fang Xin nodded to show that he understood.
The points were quickly deducted, and it felt like buying something with a credit card before the end of the world.
The clerk respectfully handed the card back to Fang Xin, "It's ready, ma'am. Here's your card."
"It will take seven days to make the combat uniforms. When the time comes, just come over with this receipt and pick them up."
"Okay, thank you." Fang Xin took the card and receipt and put them directly into his pocket.
The clerk quickly packed Fang Xin's combat uniform and handed it to Fang Xin, "Your combat uniform."
"Okay, thank you." Fang Xin thanked again.
Fang Xin was holding something in his hand, feeling very happy. "Let's go. I've bought it."
“Don’t look at anything else”
"No, go home."
"Okay, I'll take you there."
The two of them walked out of the store while talking.
Not long after walking, Fang Xin always felt that there was a burning gaze following her from behind.
There is no possibility of danger within the base.
