After a fairly hearty lunch, everyone rested in the car for half an hour before Zhou Beichen drove the van to Jinhua Road. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter Qin Qin led the team to find Liu Chenggang, he found that the other two teams had also parked their cars, and Zhang Hao was surrounding Liu Chenggang with a flattering face to ask for something. Qin Qin snickered in her heart, guessing that Zhang Hao was probably asking questions like driving skills.

Finding that everyone had arrived, Liu Chenggang said, "Your task in the afternoon is to continue the morning's work. At lunchtime, the comrades of the material collection team informed us that their clean-up work in the morning was not very smooth, and only about one-third of the road section was opened. So I'm afraid we won't be able to storm the mall today, but in order to stay overnight, we must at least clear all the zombies on this street before dark. ”

Qin Qin nodded silently, indeed, this Jinhua Road is about more than six hundred meters long, and Jinhua Shopping Mall is just in the center of this street. After half a morning of cleanup, the team had only advanced about 100 meters. Even if it doesn't stop for a moment in the afternoon, it would be nice to be able to arrive at the entrance of Jinhua Mall before dark and meet the team. However, as long as these peripheral team members work hard and clean up all the zombies in the surrounding shops, the danger of finding a random store to spend the night at that time is much less than storming Jinhua Mall overnight.

"In addition, judging from the progress of the morning, the cleaning of vehicles in the middle of the road is much faster than the cleaning of shops, and even slightly faster than the progress of the collection team, and many teams are just waiting for the collection team to move forward. Therefore, in order to encourage everyone to kill zombies and clean up the shop, the base is willing to give out all kinds of materials in exchange for the crystal nuclei you get from the zombies, and the specific exchange ratio should be consulted with the material exchange department of the base management office after returning to the base. However, the base still hopes that the capable team can choose to clean up the shop. If we can't get rid of the zombies in the whole street before dark, fighting at night will be very dangerous for each of us, and I'm sure everyone can see the situation clearly. Liu Chenggang continued to add.

Qin Qin and Zhou Beichen glanced at each other, knowing in their hearts. It seems that the base has discovered the role of the crystal nucleus, and now it is time to take this opportunity to get the crystal nucleus in everyone's hands. In fact, as long as the exchange conditions given by the base are high enough, I believe that there are many teams that have not discovered the effect of crystal nuclei who are willing to exchange these small things that cannot be eaten or drunk for supplies.

Qin Qin pondered in his heart, should he also take the opportunity to collect some crystal nuclei, anyway, there is no cost to use the system to make bread, if he proposes to exchange one bread for one crystal nucleus, there must be many people who will be willing.

Zhou Beichen was the person who knew Qin Qin the best, and when he saw Qin Qin's eyes shining in a daze, he probably guessed that she also wanted to find someone to exchange for crystal nuclei. He sighed and whispered in Qin Qin's ear: "Don't think about exchanging crystal nuclei, no one wants to exchange with you if the proportion is low, and if the proportion is high, it is easy to arouse suspicion." Everyone is not stupid, even if the effect of the crystal nucleus is not discovered for the time being, how many people who dare to come out to fight zombies lack food and drink? Moreover, what you want to do is basically to grab business with the base, aren't you afraid that the base will be curious and investigate the source of your materials? ”

Qin Qin's little face suddenly collapsed, forget it, how can the good thing of a pie falling from the sky be so easy to touch, even if it really falls on herself, she doesn't dare to pick it up and eat it, she still has to worry about whether the pie is expired food.

Busy time always flies, and when Qin Qin heard Liu Chenggang beckoning them to gather, he found that the red sunset had already hung in the sky at the end of the street. Qin Qin glanced at the few zombies lying on the ground, let out a long breath, she pinched her sore arm, and walked outside the store. This afternoon, they cleaned up ten stores, because the capacity of the car and the system backpack was limited, Qin Qin basically didn't collect anything, so the efficiency also improved a lot.

In this afternoon, they harvested a total of 16 crystal nuclei, Qin Qin looked at the small crystals piled up in the palm of his hand, and happily forgot about the fatigue in his body. The other veteran team members except Mei Xiuwen were also very happy, they had all been told that Qin Qin's two abilities needed to be upgraded by crystal nuclei, even if Zhao Qi suspected that Qin Qin had no ability, but it was an indisputable fact that Qin Qin's ability to make water had increased after getting some crystal nuclei last time.

Liu Chenggang gathered the four teams together and handed out each team's dinner, the same bottle of water and a pack of compressed biscuits. The Qin Qin team and the temporary team member Mei Xiuwen, who have never been short of water to drink, are fine, but the other two teams can't help but complain.

"Brother Liu, the base is too deductible, right? I said that I would provide dry food and drinking water, but it turned out that two bottles a day was enough to drink, and I was almost dying of thirst all afternoon. A member of Zhang Hao's team couldn't help but complain, which attracted a chorus of echoes.

There are a lot of people in Zhang Hao's team, although they also run out every day to find supplies, and there is no shortage of food for the time being, but it is really difficult to drink water. This time, the base said that it was responsible for providing drinking water, and they thought that they finally didn't have to endure thirst anymore, but they didn't expect to give two bottles of water at the end of the day, which was really not enough to drink.

Liu Chenggang heard these complaints, and replied helplessly: "I'm sorry, I can't help it." To be honest, the food is relatively abundant, and if any of you really can't get enough to eat, I can apply for another one, but there is really no way to drink water. You also know that now all open-air water sources are infected by the zombie virus, and there is a certain probability of turning into zombies after drinking, so the base can't use this kind of water to trap you, right? After three days of searching, more than half of the drinking water harvested by the material collection team was put into this operation, but this is only enough for two bottles per person per day, and any more is really gone. ”

Zhang Hao's team member just complained casually, he didn't expect the base to really get some more water, now the shortage of drinking water is much more serious than the shortage of food, and he is also very aware of the current situation.

Liu Chenggang comforted everyone again and said: "Don't worry, Head Chen is already thinking of a way, and I heard that he is going to find equipment to dig a few deep wells." The water in the ground is always much cleaner than the water above ground, and even if there are some viruses left, it should not be a problem to filter and boil. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Hao asked excitedly: "Can you drink the well water?" It won't be a problem, right? ”

Liu Chenggang shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics, but I've heard of such a thing, and there will be news in a few days." ”

Qin Qin couldn't help but interject and said, "It's better to be careful, it's better not to drink it, after all, no matter how low the odds are, it's possible." We work so hard every day, in case we become zombies because of drinking well water, what a pity. ”

Zhang Hao looked back at Qin Qin and them with a bitter face, looked at the lips of these people who were only slightly dry and peeled, and sighed: "You guys are probably lucky, you found enough drinking water, and it seems that you haven't been thirsty." We've had a miserable past few days, no matter whether it's water or drink, we don't even have two bottles to drink in our stomachs every day, and we're already thirsty. If I can really make well water, I dare to drink it anyway, and if it is not big, I can cook it for a while, it is better than dying of thirst. ”

Zhou Beichen pulled Qin Qin, who still wanted to argue, and motioned her not to say more. Qin Qin thought about it after closing her mouth, and also felt that she was a little troubled. Now in this world, there are not many teams that can eat well, and those who can have enough drinking water are simply one in a hundred, and if you persuade yourself, you will really stand and talk without backache. After all, the chance of infection after the well water is treated is so small that the fear of this is far less than the pain of enduring thirst every day. Now, I can only hope that the well is deep enough and the chance of infection is small enough.

After chatting for a few words, the four teams dispersed in some disgrace. Before leaving, Liu Chenggang informed everyone: "Let's spend the night on this street tonight." The shops on the street have been cleaned up, and there should be no zombies, but you'd better double-check before you move in. The base will send people to patrol and keep vigil tonight, so don't worry about safety. You should rest early, and you will gather in front of the mall on time at 6 o'clock tomorrow. ”

Qin Qin led the team back to the sneaker store in the morning, although the store was relatively far away, but considering that there were actually far more zombies in Jinhua Shopping Mall than scattered passers outside the street, Qin Qin felt that it was safer to facilitate escape. Walking to the door of the store, Qin Qin asked the other team members to go in and clean up first, and make enough open space in the store to put tents. She took Zhou Beichen back to the car, and while taking out the tent, she also took the opportunity to take out the sleeping bag and other bits and pieces from the system backpack.

"Alas, it's really troublesome to hide Xiuwen like this, and we still have to run around to get things. Besides, as long as he wasn't stupid, he should have wondered how this trunk could fit so many things. Can't we tell him about the spatial ability now? Qin Qin complained with some dissatisfaction.

Zhou Beichen comforted her and said, "Bear with me, at least until he agrees to join the team." He was so loyal to the base in his last life, I'm afraid he still remembers the base's kindness to him, in case he doesn't want to join our team, and in the future, he will tell the base about your situation in order to repay the favor, it will not be a joke. ”

"But now the base doesn't show much kindness to him. I think it's that Xiuwen was so loyal to the base in his last life, and the rescue of the zombie night may only account for a small part of the reason, and it is more that he developed a strong affection for the base after he joined the base. After all, he has no family, and the base is equivalent to giving him a second home. Qin Qin analyzed.

"I don't know what he's going to think, and what I know about him is hearsay. Well, let's take a chance to ask him again tonight, and if he wants to join us, you don't have to keep your case a secret from him, don't you think? Zhou Beichen asked.

"Well, so be it, I think he's still trustworthy. We won't do any harm to the base, it doesn't conflict with his gratitude to the base, as long as he is really as affectionate as you say, then today's help to him can at least allow him to keep it a secret for us. Qin Qin replied.

After agreeing, Qin Qin and Zhou Beichen walked back to the sneaker store with a bunch of things. What they didn't expect was that tonight would be far less peaceful than they had imagined.
