Chapter 387 How Strong is It?
After Da Fei handed over all the contribution points he earned from this batch of goods to Zhou Zhiye, he said, "I didn't expect so many people would still buy skincare products at this time. It's a pity that there are too few goods. If there were more, we could make a lot of money."
Zhou Zhi also smiled and said, "If you want the goods, go ask them."
Da Fei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then said, "Boss, you mean... Then where can I find it? The Jing City base is so big."
"You know there's a little umbrella shop on Commercial Street. You can find people there."
Da Fei was surprised and said, "They originally owned that store. I was wondering why they still had it outside. We've bought out so many other places, but they're selling it themselves. Will they sell it to us?"
Zhou Zhi was speechless. "Of course not, but don't you want something else? Since they can offer skincare products, they can certainly offer other goodies. Since they're selling things, they're probably just trying to earn contribution points and buy things they need. They can't be clearing out their inventory, right? If that's the case, then that's even better."
It's true, Lan Jin and his friends really wanted to clear out their inventory. In short, both sides had the same idea, so this black market business was a natural hit.
Of course, this is all later.
Da Fei has another matter to deal with right now, so the matter of looking for Lan Jin really needs to be postponed for a while.
…
The store has been open for half a month and business is good almost every day. Lao Gao took Nana's residence permit and calculated the contribution points in it. Apart from the 5,550 he earned on the black market last time, he has actually earned 2,300 contribution points in the past half month.
Are you saying business is good?
Not necessarily. The main feature is the high unit price.
You're saying business is bad.
Not necessarily. With this contribution point, if only the food and accommodation are covered, it would be enough for the four of them to use for several months.
So, whether before or after the apocalypse, doing business is really quite profitable.
…
Just when everyone was getting used to such peaceful days and thought it would remain so peaceful in the future, alarms began to sound one after another in various parts of Beijing.
"Dear residents, mutant creatures are attacking. Those at home, please close your doors and windows immediately. Those on the streets, please find an enclosed space as soon as possible. Those with special abilities, please rush to the base gate as soon as possible..."
The alarm at the Beijing base was much more complicated than that in H City. It played for a long time, but it didn't actually loop that many times.
But the four of them couldn't stay in the store, so they locked the door and immediately rode their bicycles to the base gate.
When Lan Jin and the other three arrived, the entrance to the base was already crowded with mutants. They struggled to find Captain Zhang in the crowd and then asked nervously, "Captain Zhang, where are the mutants? We don't see any."
"They haven't come yet. We've already sent a group of people to guard the door."
When Lan Jin and the others heard that they hadn't arrived yet, they breathed a sigh of relief. There was nothing they could do. The base gate on the other side of the commercial district was quite far away. Even though they had rushed here as quickly as possible, it still took them more than 10 minutes.
But what we are saying is that the broadcasting system here is really much more advanced. The announcement sounded before the mutant creatures even arrived, unlike in H City, where it only reminded people when they were at the door. No wonder Captain Zhang stayed at the door whenever he had free time. He really had to stay there.
…
Everyone looked nervously towards the door. After a few minutes, the person guarding the door finally saw the shapes of those things clearly.
Just as Lan Jin was about to step forward to help, Captain Zhang grabbed her arm and whispered, "Wait, we're latecomers, it's not good to steal the spotlight too much."
In addition, he also wanted to let the people in the Beijing base know how powerful the people in the H city base were, and to take the opportunity to consolidate their position in the base.
Of course, he wouldn't joke about the lives of his compatriots, so at the critical moment—
Lan Jin immediately knew what Captain Zhang was going to do. She asked, "Is this okay? Is this really okay?"
"But if you take the initiative now, it's like you're trying to steal the credit. You won't be wrong if you listen to me. Even if you don't make a move this time, it doesn't matter. There's plenty of time later."
As soon as Captain Zhang finished speaking, Captain Wang immediately said, "Yes, you won't be wrong to listen to Captain Zhang."
"Okay, I'm not such a nosy person anyway."
After saying that, the group of mutant creatures in the distance came closer and closer to them. After seeing them clearly, they found that these mutant creatures were all enlarged versions of ants and cockroaches.
These things are not very aggressive, but they look disgusting, and there are a lot of them. It is almost too difficult for the superpower to get rid of them all at once.
Most importantly, among this group of ants and cockroaches, there seems to be a car driving among them.
The car doors were naturally all closed and the car was driving very slowly, but it was surrounded by mutant creatures. How could it drive on the road like this?
But the answer came soon. Although there were many of these bugs, they were not difficult to deal with. Just spray some windshield washer fluid on the car, wipe it with the wipers, and keep an eye on the road for a while. There would be no problem. But as for the speed -
Of course it will be much slower.
Seeing a car moving, the people at the base gate immediately used their special powers on the mutant creatures that were about to come over. When all the special powers were gathered together, there were a variety of tricks.
Although these people's abilities are not very strong, they can still deal with a small number of mutant creatures without any problem. But when the number increases, everyone is overwhelmed. Some mutant creatures even pass through the psychics and rush into the door.
The psychics at the base naturally couldn't give the other party this space, so the second group of psychics immediately stepped forward and surrounded them.
But the effect...
…
Hearing the shouts of the base's psychics, the vehicle moved forward a little and then stopped halfway.
The psychics at the front used their powers to eliminate the mutant creatures while moving forward to inquire about the situation of the vehicle.
"Where are you from?"
A muffled voice came from the car, "We're coming from the research base. We've contacted your Captain Zhou before."
When they heard that it was a research base, everyone naturally understood, but the car had been blocked tightly by mutant creatures. With their abilities, they had no way of getting people into the base.
The superpowers said, "Wait in the car first, and don't open the door."
After saying that, one of the psychics took out a walkie-talkie and reported the matter to Captain Zhou in the base.
Captain Zhou was not far from Captain Zhang. As soon as he heard the situation, he knew it was time for them to take action.
Captain Zhang asked, "Captain Zhou, do you need our help?"
Captain Zhou was speechless, "You are talking nonsense."
By the way, he also wanted to see how powerful the abilities of these four people were.
