In line with the great ideal of "everyone has a responsibility to rescue survivors", the two decisively approached Xu Qingzhou to discuss expanding the supermarket business.
"If you ensure that this... um, bus can reach thousands of miles in one day."
Xu Qingzhou's expression was numb. In fact, he was doubtful until now.
"I will help you contact the buyer."
buyer.
This title is quite unique and reasonable.
Cheng Xi was satisfied that his wording was appropriate, "If Captain Xu still has any doubts, you can experience it yourself."
"How do you experience it?"
"It's very simple. Just let the bus take you and treat it as a tourist."
"..."
Reasonably persuaded Xu Qingzhou that this was just a joke, but he couldn't help but feel moved.
When he heard about the purpose of the bus, he didn't want to believe it at all.
There are zombies running rampant outside the base. How can a bus travel unimpeded across the country?
However, Chen Xingruo is steady and self-possessed, and there is a magical power that makes people believe when those black eyes stare at you. What's more, based on past experience, his suggestions are often pertinent and quite constructive.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Qingzhou attributed all this to the power of technology.
That’s right, it’s technology.
Chen Xingluo must have used his tablet that never leaves his body to plan the optimal route without traffic jams!
"I go."
Xu Qingzhou made a decisive decision.
"Although I believe in you and the bus that can drive freely... Forgive me for not understanding why it can drive freely, but others may not believe it so easily."
So, he goes.
The surprise on Chen Xingluo's face flashed away. He didn't expect to hear such an answer.
"Don't worry, Captain Xu, we can go with you on the first trip."
This sentence successfully raised Xu Qingzhou's trust in the two of them to a new level.
The matter was settled.
After sending the two directors of Interstellar Supermarket away, Xu Qingzhou picked up the phone after thinking for a moment and decisively dialed a familiar number.
At this time, in the suburbs of city n, 600 miles away from the central China base, a frowning man answered the phone.
"This is Hongda Base, who are you?"
"Xu Qingzhou."
"Qingzhou?"
The man's energy was shocked, and he was full of energy. "You actually called me when you were free. Didn't you go out to perform the mission? By the way, is there anything good this time? I will give you the purification liquid last time to our base. It’s also done…”
The other party said a series of words, and they didn't stop for a minute, which made Xu Qingzhou's mouth twitch.
"Are you short of supplies over there?"
This sentence successfully seized the initiative.
"Nonsense! People all over the country are short of supplies now. Why would you ask such a stupid question? Did you accidentally get chewed by a zombie?"
"Can you hope that I will be better? If I get chewed by a zombie, can I still stand here and talk to you on the phone?"
"Okay, I'm short of supplies. Brother, I'm afraid we're going to run out of food."
The other party sighed deeply, "If I weren't far away from you, I would have to knock on your door for a while."
"Remember when I told you that there is a supermarket selling supplies here?"
"What kind of interstellar supermarket is that? Brother, don't be ridiculous, how many supplies can a supermarket have? You should keep it for yourself."
Xu Qingzhou sighed when he heard this, he knew it was like this.
"I'll take the bus to the gate of your base tomorrow. Just come with me and you'll find out."
"What?"
The other party seemed to pause, "Aren't you using your base's channel to talk to me?"
"right."
"Then you lied to me about arriving at Hongda Base tomorrow?"
"..."
How do you explain to your friend that he will take a bus without traffic jam?
Xu Qingzhou was originally not good at speaking, so he finally gave up on this difficult conversation.
"Anyway, don't go out tomorrow. Stay at the base for me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the communication.
***
After returning to the Interstellar Supermarket, the two of them flashed back to space, ready to explore the extra mountain.
"Xu Qingzhou is really worthy of the green clothes he is wearing."
Thinking of the conversation just now, Cheng Xi had to sigh.
She thought it would take a lot of effort to explain the purpose of the bus, but she didn't expect that Xu Qingzhou would put himself in danger.
He wanted to experience it for himself.
In the apocalypse where zombies are rampant, it must be said that this is an extremely risky attempt.
If the bus does not arrive at the destination as planned, or if something goes wrong along the way, the lives of the passengers on it will be in danger.
"He looks a lot like Fu Chenglan."
who?
Cheng Xi was stunned for a moment when he heard this unfamiliar name, and then connected him with the fifth prince of the Yan Dynasty.
The man who came from a royal family but joined the military camp and single-handedly commanded the three armies.
"You seem to be very optimistic about the fifth prince?"
Imagine with Xu Qingzhou, in Cheng Xi's opinion it is definitely the highest praise for an ancient person.
Chen Xingluo stretched out his long legs and stepped over a stone, indicating to her to look at the road under her feet, "Yan Dynasty has been in power for 300 years, and it needs an emperor who is decisive in killing and daring to innovate."
Cheng Xi thought about the powerful Zhou family and couldn't agree more with this.
It was obvious that the emperor currently in power liked the art of checks and balances, which seemed to her to be a bit heart-warming.
"Then he became the emperor? That's the fifth prince."
"Since you and I met, everything has been different from the previous life. Who can say for sure?"
Cheng Xi: "..."
So was he fooled or not?
This is half a bad joke.
"Watch the road."
Chen Xingluo chuckled lightly and took her arm to avoid a stone.
They had reached the foot of the mountain. The gaps between the soil and stones were covered with wild grasses, and there were even many wild vegetables.
】
At first glance, the hillside was very gentle, not as steep as it seemed from a distance, but the scope of this mountain was far beyond their imagination.
"This hillside is suitable for planting trees. How about we transplant the fruit trees near the villa?"
"It's a good proposal. It can be planned into terraces."
The two people made clear arrangements along the way, completely treating the mountain as private property - of course, it is indeed part of the space.
After half a day, Cheng Xi came to the conclusion:
This is just an ordinary mountain, with flowers, trees, common medicinal materials, hares and pheasants, and mountain springs.
The once again enrichment of species in the space also made Shen Xingluo certain of one thing. Every upgrade it made was like completing a puzzle piece of the small world.
***
The next morning, an ordinary-looking bus stopped at the office building.
The only thing that can attract the attention of passers-by is that it has the words [Interstellar Supermarket] on its body, and the detailed address is also marked below.
Survivors who passed by occasionally glanced at it, and suddenly realized it when they saw the two people sitting inside through the car window.
