Chapter 5 The first stop, Jinling
"No, how can it be here!"
At eight o'clock in the morning, Chu Heng watched a point of light flicker on a world map, and finally stopped in one place.
Above Jinling City, a town after crossing the Yangtze River, here is Jinling Base City.
"It's a big deal!" As soon as Zero shouted, Chu Heng only felt a slight shock, and he no longer felt it.
"Open the door?" Chu Heng asked uncertainly.
"Of course, you see, it's the exterior picture."
Jinling base city is much larger than Yangcheng base city, here is conservatively estimated to have a population of more than one million, after all, here is connected to Jinling and all the surrounding counties, cities and villages and towns of the population, according to expert statistics, the existing population should be about thirty percent of the original, so, how to calculate, the population of Jinling base city will not be less than one million.
The location where the supermarket appears is less than a kilometer outside the Jinling base city, adjacent to the highway, appearing next to a gas station, a magnificent four-door supermarket, covering an area of three or four hundred square meters, the four-meter-high gate flashes of colorful neon lights, neon signs are written in four Chinese characters, hope supermarket.
This is Chu Heng's name, because his supermarket is like a light in the last days, bringing hope to human survival, so in the name of hope.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the scavengers had been out wandering for a while, and the scavengers were searching for everything useful in the safety of the base city, in exchange for everything that could survive.
Where the supermarket appeared, there were several waves of waste pickers within the visual range, without warning, and the supermarket that suddenly appeared out of thin air certainly attracted their attention, and they gathered little by little with a little cautious attitude, lingering in front of the supermarket gate, talking to each other.
In the store manager's room, Chu Heng nervously looked at the dozen or so people at the door with Zero, after all, this was very likely to be the first batch of customers, and they were all in a mood of anticipation.
"Did you think they'd come in?" Chu Heng asked.
"Of course ... Would it? Zero said with some uncertainty.
"Anyway, we don't have enough energy to open tomorrow, in case, I said in case, what if tomorrow?" Chu Heng asked a little hesitantly.
Zero shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then you can figure it out yourself, whether it's hunting zombies to get crystal nuclei, or finding some raw materials to find an exchange place to exchange for energy, in short, you can only open a business after scraping together a hundred energy." ”
"That's okay, if it doesn't work, I'll be locked up for a few days." Chu Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hee-hee, I forgot to mention, if it is closed for three consecutive days after opening, the supermarket will be forced to close for two weeks, and if it is three times in a row, the system will be reset."
"What is a system reset?"
"It's all restored, everything is confiscated, and it is restored to the situation where it has not been opened, of course, the unsealed goods are also re-sealed, and there will be no more excess energy for you to use."
"Damn! You're pit me! After hearing this, Chu Heng pointed to the cat and complained tremblingly.
"Okay, okay, you have to believe in yourself, your goods are set well, and you shouldn't even be able to earn back the operating expenses."
"I hope so." Chu Heng looked at the people who were still muttering at the door, and said anxiously, "You guys are coming in!" ”
Supermarket entrance.
At the entrance of the supermarket, there is a large asphalt clearing, flat and sturdy, and at this time a group of people in ragged clothes, dragging or holding a mess of things.
"What is this, you say?" A man asked, pointing to the supermarket.
"From my years of experience, it should be a supermarket." A man in his thirties said in a deep voice.
A man next to him collapsed directly after hearing this, and kicked the person out: "Nima, I have many years of experience, and anyone with long eyes can see that this is a supermarket!" ”
A middle-aged woman also choked and said: "That's it, now everyone just wants to know what happened to this supermarket and how it appeared here out of thin air." ”
Everyone is also talking about the supermarket without a word, some say that this is a great opportunity, and some say that this is an alien trap, in short, people who have been mixed in the last days for a long time, are very cautious in their bones, lack of adventurous spirit for unknown things, these scavengers are even more, even if they dare to fight a little bit, they will not do the life of this scavenging, so they will go to the city with guns and swords to fight zombies and rob shops.
Finally, a man who seemed to be not very old, only about twenty-five years old, resolutely walked towards the supermarket.
"Hey, Sun Jiaming, you don't want to die? If there's a zombie or something, you're dead! A man in his forties who thinks he is old and respectful reminded.
Sun Jiaming said without looking back: "My Sun Jiaming has lived for so long, and after the outbreak of the virus, I have been doing this scavenging business, I have done enough, I believe that this is the opportunity given to me by God, I want to grasp it, or the salted fish will turn over!" It's either death or simply dead! Don't live this life of struggling to survive anymore! ”
"Hey, Chu Heng, look, there's a kid coming in."
Sun Jiaming entered the door of the supermarket, and the people outside couldn't see the inside at all, so it felt like Sun Jiaming disappeared on the spot, and everyone was nervous and didn't dare to approach.
After entering the gate is the store lobby, also known as the waiting hall, which is very spacious, covering an area of at least 500 square meters, with eight doors facing the supermarket in front, the so-called staff area on the east side, which is forbidden to enter, and the exchange office and customer service office on the west side. Just when Sun Jiaming hesitated and didn't know where to go, an electronic synthetic voice sounded and said: "Dear customer, congratulations on becoming the first customer of Hope Supermarket, and now I will provide you with shopping guide services." ”
"In this supermarket, only one currency called energy coins is accepted as the transaction currency, you can exchange the items in your hand for energy coins to buy, of course, for your benefit, you can first enter the supermarket to watch, and then decide whether to consume."
Sun Jiaming was a little flattered, and knew that he should be in no danger, some were just lucky, he wanted to rush directly into the supermarket, but after thinking about it, he took his things and came to the customer service office.
"Do you store your belongings?"
"Yes!"
A burst of light flashed, and most of the items on Sun Jiaming's body and in the box in his arms disappeared out of thin air, turning into a brand and falling into Sun Jiaming's hands.
"We have stored your valuable items and supermarket-related items, please put away the number plate, the customer service only recognizes the number plate everywhere, not the person."
Sun Jiaming took the number plate, looked at the remaining items in the box, shook his head, threw it in place, and walked into the supermarket by himself.
