Chapter 319: Robbery
Jeno and his group of seven walked to the Zuan Middle Floor Plaza, where the Zuan people carry out their daily production, and many workers work in the middle of the factory, which means that there are many shops set up here to provide convenience for these workers.
It's just that because the screaming elevator is out of service, they have to climb the big return stairs to the middle level, which is the area where Mondo used to be active, but now it is difficult to see pedestrians on the road.
After walking down the pedestrian street for a while, Jeno began to feel wrong.
"Why isn't there a single store open? Has it been like this for only a week? ”
The doors and windows of the shops on the street are closed, the signs are no longer shining, and the whole city is like a dead city.
"Because of the smog concentration, most shops won't be open, otherwise the haze will come into your home, and you'll have to knock on the door and they'll be willing to open it."
Orianna explained that after living here for a few days, she already knew these things by heart.
"In that case, those shops will close as soon as they open the door and let you in, and if they want to do something in the store at this time, you won't even have a chance to escape." As a sheriff, Caitlyn knows where crimes can occur, and she is also not weak in criminal minds, and if she wants to solve a case quickly, she must think like a criminal.
Her words made Oriana's face change, and it was indeed a topic of great scary thought.
Now that Zu'an has less and less food, if anyone can't think about it and wants to eat people......
"Probably not, I've been like this several times, and I've been in no danger......" Oriana said hesitantly.
In the past few days, people have begun to disappear frequently, and the news of their deaths has come out, although Zu'an has often died, since there are fewer wandering monsters, in addition to the cause of death due to work-related injuries and diseases, the examples of accidental deaths have long been much less, but recently there have been more accidental deaths.
She didn't want to believe it, but she had to believe that most of these people died from gangster raids, not starvation or smoking, which was already murder.
It cannot be ruled out that there are gangsters who pretend to open stores but actually rip off customers.
"What are so many of us afraid of, don't worry about these for now, it's important to eat, since there are so many people, let's spread out and knock on the door, if there are shops that are willing to open, shout, don't go too far if the haze is too big."
The atmosphere was a little dull for a while, and Jeno didn't want to talk about this heavy topic, so everyone recuperated and killed Zelas early to solve any problems.
Jeno's words were still very useful, and with his mobilization, he soon found a store that was willing to open, but instead of a restaurant, it was a ready-to-wear store.
"Let's buy some clothes first, Niko and Ezreal need some clothes to keep out the cold."
Ezreal was naked, draped in a half-wet blanket that he had just wiped his body, and Niko was frozen and asleep in Oriona's arms, and had slept all the way to the present without any vitality.
The roller shutter door was pulled up, and the boss was a middle-aged thin man with a yellow complexion, wearing a breathing mask that covered his mouth and nose, and above the mask was a pair of dark eyes.
If you judge people by their appearance, this really doesn't look like a good person, but for the sake of the child, Jeno is still the first to walk in.
In fact, there was nothing to be afraid of, his current ability was completely enough to support him to walk sideways in Zu'an, except for the two alien Ascendants.
After a few people entered the small shop, the shopkeeper did not speak, and let a few people choose clothes.
Ezreal chose a gray coat and two plain undershirts for himself, and he wanted to choose something more gorgeous, but he didn't dare to put his hand on them for fear of freezing to death.
Jeno was helping Niko choose clothes, but after a long time of picking them, there was nothing that suited her.
And at this moment, Oriana grabbed Jeno's sleeve and made him look at a glass counter: "Look, what is that?" ”
Jeno looked at the counter, where there was a thick dusty blanket that was already covered in dust, but from its exposed logo, it was an electric blanket exclusive to Philos.
"Why do you have an electric blanket here?" Jeno laughed out loud, he actually saw his invention in Zuan, what kind of encounter was this!
And Niko loves it! An electric blanket can bring her back to life.
"Boss, is this electric blanket for sale?" Jeno beckoned to the boss who was watching silently, this blanket was not placed on the shelves, and it was not certain whether it would be sold or not, but he had decided, whether the store sold it or not, he Jeno had to decide on this electric blanket.
The boss leaned in, took the blanket from the counter, dusted it off with his wrinkled and scarred hands, and answered him in a hoarse and gloomy voice:
"Is this blanket used, or broken, are you sure you're either?"
"Yes, yes." Jeno nodded hurriedly.
If it weren't for the boss's words, he would have thought the other party was a mute.
"This electric blanket was burned out by my misoperation, and it couldn't heat up, so I put the blanket in it, in fact, it didn't last long, but the haze was too big these days, and the blanket quickly became a layer of ash." The boss said a few more words and couldn't help coughing, and Jeno found out from his cough that this person had a respiratory disease, so he didn't leave the mask at home.
"Oh oh, I see." Jeno nodded, no matter what the boss said, he wanted it.
"Also, I don't have a Hex Cube battery for sale here, and an electric blanket needs a matching battery to be useful, even then, do you still want to buy it?" The boss gasped and continued.
"Yes!" Jeno was sure.
His answer surprised the boss a little, and he really didn't understand that the other party wanted such a rag. Since he has made all his shortcomings clear, it is his business that the other party is still jumping into the pit, and it is good that he has a clear conscience.
But what he didn't expect was that Jeno was the developer of the electric blanket, and he had a hundred ways to "resurrect this electric blanket in situ"!
"Then even if you are cheaper...... the boss quoted the price, Jeno paid, although the price is a little expensive, but in this special period, it is still understandable.
While paying, the boss told Jeno, "You guys look like you're looking for something to eat, right?" I'll tell you, many restaurants are closed now, and if you want to eat, you can only go to the hotel on the corner, I don't know about the upper floor and the gutter, but only the middle floor is still open. ”
"Thank you." Jeno put away the blanket and nodded in thanks, the boss's kindness saved them a lot of effort to search, and when he saw this boss for the first time just now, he thought the other party was a gangster.
You really can't judge people by their appearance, there are still a lot of good people in this world.
Just as they were about to leave the store, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the roller shutter in front of them.
"Everyone inside is listening to me, hurry up and open the door, or I'll blow up here now!"
