Chapter 108 A good shopkeeper in the zombie apocalypse shouldn't have any problems...
Really powerful mutants will not join any shop patrol group, but the shop patrol group is the most common mutant seen by ordinary people in the base.
The reason for this is actually related to the order established by Fu Haohann.
The reason why the Weilan base is famous and a fortress against zombies is not just because Fu Haohann is strong enough as a leader, but because the entire base has a qualified order.
The original intention of the order may be to allow Fu Haohann to gain more power, but since the order has been formed, it means that the management of the entire base is above the qualified line, so when someone enjoys it, someone must be there for everyone life efforts.
Those who enjoy are not all mutants, and those who work hard are not all ordinary people.
Bai Qingxian didn't finish his retreat for a long time, but he also knew that the reason why the mutants in this city are called adults is because they have powerful abilities that ordinary people don't have, and because there are indeed a large number of mutants protecting them. The security of the entire base.
When Bai Qingxian walks in the blue base, he can see ordinary people working and children with food. Except that the quality of life in the last days is different from that before the last days, in fact, the people here are living relative lives. In a peaceful life, there is almost no need to touch the zombies outside the walls of the base.
Even Boss Bai hasn't seen zombies in the early days of the end of the world.
Instead of most people bearing the dangers of "zombies" and "mutated animals and plants", it is the base's combat patrol team.
People from these patrol groups may hide high in the base building, guarding against enemies from the sky.
It may be stationed where the fence is built, so that ordinary people who participate in the construction of the fence don't have to worry about being attacked by zombies when they are working.
There are also most of the patrol groups scattered outside the base, killing wandering zombies and some relatively small groups of zombies at any time, preventing the invasion of zombies from the root.
They may have great power, but in some ways they risk their lives every day to protect the survivors within the Wall.
So Bai Qingxian is not surprised that the ordinary people in the base call them "survivor adults", and Fu Haohann, who stands at the top of the survivors, has also become the leader of these survivors by virtue of his strength and various means, and has become an ordinary survivor. The king in the eyes of men.
At the beginning of the last days, there seemed to be no problem with such a base composition and model, and everything seemed very peaceful.
But when Bai Qingxian stood on the side of the road and looked back at the tall building where the base management office is located, he seemed to see a disturbing hidden danger growing. He could see dangerous seeds taking root and sprouting, and he could see a bomb that might be detonated at any time Extended the fuse.
In fact, it's not just Bai Qingxian who can feel the danger in the future, I believe that mutants and even ordinary people also smell some ominous breath.
For example, the little girl who often visits the Xiaoyao Inn, the little girl Yaoyao who hides her identity as a mutant of the water system, her father is just a well-educated ordinary person who is bedridden due to physical reasons.But the father tried his best to ask the little girl to hide her identity, and told Yaoyao many times that if someone found out that she was a mutant of the water system, she would be taken away immediately, and their father and daughter might never see each other again.
Water-type mutant, this name in the base is like a crown-like title, but in Bai Qingxian's view, it may hide all kinds of unexpected secrets.
As for the store patrol team that appeared in Bai Qingxian's field of vision at this moment, it was naturally a little different from those combat patrol teams that fought directly with zombies.
The reason why the shop patrols are the mutants that ordinary people see the most is because the mutants belonging to those combat patrols are running around and fighting almost every day, most of the time they are out of reach of ordinary people place is working hard.
Compared with these unsung heroes guarding everyone's back, these shop patrols who have exaggerated tattoos all over their bodies for fear that others will not know that they are mutants have become a more prominent presence in the base.
It can even be said to be notorious.
Whether it's the unbearable amount of protection fees, or the Sanguang policy where you can get it wherever you go, the store operators in the base have complained again and again.Opening a store in the last days is not an easy task. Even if it is a business genius before the end of the world, it is not easy to run a grocery store in the base at the moment, but it is still exploited by the store patrol team. Can you not sigh?
In fact, Bai Qingxian hadn't had much contact with these people, but he could feel that the strength in their bodies was much weaker than the members of the patrol team he met on the roof of the building.
In other words, they are not so powerful among the mutants.
But these people have now become the "managers" on the surface of the streets in the base. No matter how excessive demands they put on the merchants, they must be met, otherwise those who disobey them may encounter catastrophe.
Bai Qingxian's Qingxian Station has not yet collided with the patrol team. After all, the Qingxian Station is located in a barren and remote street in the base, and the people living around it are the poorest or most helpless people in the base, so these high-spirited shops Members of the patrol team have never visited the Leisure Inn.On the contrary, several regular customers of Qingxian Inn once reminded Boss Bai that he must not let the patrol team know that his store still stores food from before the end of the world.
Otherwise...no one can imagine what will happen to this store after it falls into the hands of the store patrol team.
"Hey." Bai Qingxian rubbed the center of her brows, suddenly feeling ominous.
Now this notorious store patrol team is right in front of Bai Qingxian. Bai Qingxian is walking on the left side of the road, and the patrol team is walking on the other side of the road. Conversations among members of the patrol group could be heard.
"I've visited this street dozens of times. I used to be able to find some pre-apocalyptic gadgets from those shops, but now I can't find anything except boring points." The painted members of the patrol team had fleshy faces, and they seemed very dissatisfied with the harvest of today's patrol.
"It's good to have some points." Another shorter member of the patrol team waved his hand very contentedly, "Although they are all the same points, as mutants, we can use them to exchange more things than ordinary people. Much, just like krypton gold stores and ordinary stores, so no matter how small a mosquito is, it’s still meat, and it’s better to have something than nothing.”
"But it's really not fresh anymore, and I even feel that those stores can't even squeeze out the juice." The members of the patrol team on the other side also looked bored.
"By the way, we don't seem to have been to the street behind. How about the store resources there?" The big man with a swollen face suddenly stared in front of his eyes.
Bai Qingxian also slowed down. The street behind them should be Pingqiong Street.
"No." But soon someone stopped him, "Have you forgotten that Eldest Sister once said not to cause trouble on that street? It is good enough for Eldest Sister to turn a blind eye to what we do on weekdays. We'd better obey what she said."
"Could it be that there are some terrible big men hiding in that street?" The big man frowned and thought.
"That's not true." The member of the patrol team next to him shook his head and said, "On the contrary, the eldest sister said this not because there are some big people hiding in that street, but because the people who live on that street are either disabled or unable to work. Or sick people, or lazy people who are sitting on the side of the road waiting for alms, and will starve themselves to death one day, anyway, they are all a group of guys who will never become big men in their next life."
"Yeah, they don't even pay management fees, so even if they go there, they won't be able to extract anything of value."
"You also know that our eldest sister turned a blind eye to the matter of paying protection fees, but she always warned us to stay on the front line and never squeeze it to death." Such a notorious team as the Commercial Patrol Team, in the When talking about this "big sister", there is a bit of weird cuteness in the words.
"The people on that street can't stand the trouble at all, so it's better not to go." The person next to him persuaded again.
Some people in the patrol team may have forgotten the elder sister's advice at first, and waved their hands after hearing the explanation from their companions, and they were about to turn around and return to the nearby commercial district.
But at this time, the big man with a thick face who proposed to go to Pingqiong Street just now didn't move a step, but said with more interest: "Isn't it okay to just go for a stroll?"
"Huh?" The companion next to him didn't understand what he meant, "Chen Qiang, what do you want to say?"
The big man named Chen Qiang gestured in the direction of Pingqiong Street with his thumb and said: "The eldest sister just told us not to charge management fees and extra fees, but she didn't say that we must never set foot on that street? I just want to go Isn’t it okay to walk around that street?”
"This..." The short man who explained just now thought for a moment, "It seems that he didn't say no, after all, it's not a forbidden place there."
"Then go and have a look." Chen Qiang immediately started to walk towards Pingqiong Street, "I want to see how wasteful that street is, isn't there even a single store?"
"I really can't tell."
"Let me tell you first, I am the one who proposed to go to that street. If I find anything interesting there, I will give it to me first!" Chen Qiang clenched his fist with his right hand, and made a fist-squeeze gesture at the others. action.
In the next second, Chen Qiang's fist was covered with a layer of hard rock, obviously an earth attribute mutant.
"up to you."
After some communication, the shop patrol team composed of ten mutants walked towards Pingqiong Street not far away with leisurely steps like walking.Bai Qingxian dodged into the alley, relying on his understanding of the terrain around the store and careful acceleration of his pace, he effortlessly returned to the Xiaoyao Inn before the store patrol team arrived.
Bai Qingxian looked around the storefront of Qingxian Inn. The beverages in the freezer had already been sold out during this period of time, and the remaining water and food were well stored in the warehouse on the second floor of Qingxian Inn, except for those who used it as a bedroom. No one other than Bai Zhi and Bai Qingxian can enter.
As for the various strange goods and books in the store...
"There shouldn't be any problem." Bai Qingxian murmured softly.
