Xiao Wan dragged her tired body out of the rental house and slowly walked towards the base office hall step by step.
The weather in City E is not good today, there is not a trace of sunshine.
The gray sky enveloped the entire base, and the tall residential buildings in the distance were hidden in the haze. The dreary weather was despairing and suffocating.
Just like her.
Her skinny wrist tightly held the two crystal cores in her hands, which were all her savings.
Xiao Wan thought of Zhang Anming, who was still lying unconscious on the bed, and couldn't help but speed up her steps.
The office lobby was originally the lobby of a five-star resort hotel, with gorgeous and dazzling overhead chandeliers. The place where tourists were originally received was separated into a single space of equal area.
To serve survivors.
It's said to be a service, but it's actually a place for the benefit of those in power.
Xiao Wan knew this very well, but at this time she had to spend a lot of money to buy what she wanted.
"H-Hello, do you have any more antibiotics?"
"Yes, five crystal nuclei per grain."
The salesman didn't even raise his head, holding a magazine with a colorful cover and reading it addictively. He didn't see the girl who asked turning pale at his words.
"can it be cheaper?"
"Cheap? Where do you think this is!"
The salesperson finally looked up with an arrogant expression, "Antibiotics are scarce drugs. It would be great if you can buy them with crystal nuclei. Do you still think they are expensive?"
"But I only have two crystal nuclei, and my friend is waiting for help."
Xiao Wan was embarrassed and embarrassed, but she still begged, "I am a water superpower, and my salary will be paid in a few days. Can you give it on credit first? I will come over and pay it back as soon as possible!"
"No credit. If not, don't block the way. There are people waiting to buy from you!"
The salesperson waved to her impatiently, "Hurry up, hurry up, why don't you buy antibiotics if you don't have a crystal core? Really."
Xiao Wan held the crystal core's hand tightly. She lowered her head when she saw several patrollers circling around with guns, and finally dragged her tired legs out of the office hall.
There can be no trouble here.
There's only one way left now
Her eyes became more determined. After returning to the rental house, she left a note and placed the two crystal nuclei in the small living room that could only accommodate a table. She looked at everything in front of her with a look of reluctance.
After a while, she picked up her backpack and walked out of this world resolutely.
The nearest hospital is 40 kilometers away from the base. Xiao Wan can only hope that there are no survivors there - of course, this possibility is slim.
Even if you visit, leave a box of antibiotics.
With this in mind, Xiao Wan rode her bicycle towards the hospital, but when she left the base gate, she saw a piece of paper floating from the front.
She subconsciously reached out to catch it, and saw the four characters "Interstellar Supermarket" written on it.
Further down, there is a detailed list of the goods in the Interstellar Supermarket, whether it is food or clothing, and there is even a brand name at the back.
Xiao Wan found the four small words [daily medicines] in the middle, and antibiotics were listed.
The lower right corner shows the specific location of the Interstellar Supermarket: Central China Base.
Isn't that place in D City?
Far away.
"How wonderful it would be if it were the past——"
Xiao Wan sighed without hope, her tone helpless and desperate.
However, just as she folded the paper and started on the road again, a bus stopped in front of her from far to near at an incredible speed.
The bus made a "chi" sound, and the front and middle doors were opened at the same time.
What surprised her was that the four large characters "Interstellar Supermarket" on the car body were eye-catching and eye-catching.
"?!"
"Hey, are you going to the Star Supermarket?"
The window in front was opened, revealing a handsome face, "What are you looking at? Why don't you get in the car?"
Xiao Wan was stunned, "This car is going to, uh, Interstellar Supermarket?"
"certainly."
Seeing that she was still standing there, Shang Fumiyan kindly suggested, "Get in the car quickly, don't waste time, just put your bicycle aside."
No one probably stole this thing.
Xiao Wan only felt fantasy, her whole body was in a cloud and fog, and she moved mechanically under the urging eyes of the other party.
By the time she realized something, she was already on the bus.
There were four passengers in the car including her, and it was obvious that the other three were acquaintances and were chatting casually, and seemed to respect the handsome guy who had reminded her.
The few people didn't say a few words. The person involved put down his hat, shrank into his seat and fell into a light sleep.
"."
Okay, let’s go crazy for a while.
Anyway, she had no other choice.
The bus stopped at several stops one after another, and several customers came up one after another.
Xiao Wan noticed that some people were familiar with the place and sat down when they found an empty seat. However, most people were as confused as she was, and they were as confused as frightened birds.
She's not the only outlier.
Xiao Wan thought so.
The several-hour drive was too boring, but as a single woman, she did not dare to be careless at all, and she never let down her guard along the way.
The scenery outside changed from gray at first to bright and sunny, which made her realize that the distance traveled by the bus was not short.
When the car slowed down, the handsome boy who had been sleeping in the seat next to him stretched his body and rubbed his eyes with his hands to cheer up.
"Are you here yet?"
"We're here, Captain Shang, do you want to see Captain Xu?"
"No, let's go directly to the supermarket."
Xiao Wan judged that these people were not here for the first time, and they were acquaintances.
Not long after, the towering gray walls of the Huazhong Base came into view. It was several times larger than the E City Base, which made her dizzy after entering the base.
"Hey, don't you need to check your body here?"
“Different checks coming in by bus.”
Naofumi Yan took her words naturally, "If there is a zombie virus in your body, you won't be able to get in."
This information came from the supermarket owner, who also had this question at the time.
"Is it so magical?"
Xiao Wan's heart, which had been floating in the air, suddenly became much calmer after hearing this.
Maybe she should try to believe it?
***
In the space, Cheng Xi controlled the scissors to prune the branches of a tall locust tree.
After a "click" sound, the originally wild-growing locust tree was pruned into a large "A" shape, which looked more artistic from a distance.
At this time, Shen Xingluo stood in the kitchen and looked out through the window, looking at the green letters on the mountain in the distance, his mouth twitching wildly.
Ever since he mastered another use of the metal power, Cheng Xi completely let himself go and ran straight to the mountain after finishing the lawn.
She often doesn't come down for a long time, and all the trees she visits will change into another shape.
At first, it was simple geometric shapes such as spheres, triangles, etc., and gradually extended to three-dimensional patterns, and finally turned into 26 English letters.
If this pattern continues, Shen Xingluo has no doubt that one day he will see a patch of Chinese characters when he opens the window.
