I open a supermarket in the apocalypse

Sitting on the bus, Xiang Nanchuan looked at the street scene outside with a strange look. He had walked through countless survivor bases in the past six months, but none of them could give him this feeling. It was calm and peaceful, and made him feel like returning to the end of the world. previous illusion.

In hypocritical words, it is, "Time is quiet, and time is safe."

The people on the street are laughing and playing, their backs are not overwhelmed by hardship, their smiles will not disappear because of grief, and they still have the courage to live. This is the base that brings them hope.

As the temporary manager of the base, Zhong Hesheng is undoubtedly qualified.

Xiang Nanchuan couldn't help sighing, "This is really good."

Chi Yan said: "Sooner or later, there will be such a day." Zombies will be wiped out, the end of the world will end, and everything will return to the past.

It's just that it will take a long time to recover from the devastation left behind.

"I hope." Xiang Nanchuan looked sideways at Chi Yan and smiled.

None of this is too bad as long as there is hope.

When passing through the industrial park, Xiang Nanchuan was stunned to see the survivors wearing work clothes inside. He remembered that Zhong Hesheng seemed to have reported once that he wanted to incorporate the industrial park in the suburbs into the base. At that time, he said to Nanchuan, "Look Just do it."

He and Chi Yan had also considered reopening the industrial park before, because many machines were unusable due to the corrosion of the black rain.After they left the base, the matter was put on hold for the time being. Unexpectedly, Zhong Hesheng realized all of their plans.

"This Zhong Hesheng is really talented!"

Chi Yan listened with a smile, noncommittal.

The Xicheng Mansion that Zhong Hesheng said was on the outskirts of the city. The land was originally planned to be the largest ecological park in the province, and half of the construction had been undertaken by the real estate company. Due to the end of the world, the project was suspended.When Zhong Hesheng merged the industrial park, he also merged the park into the base by the way. He thought that it was half built anyway, and it would be troublesome to tear it down, so he simply built another city on the basis of the original building.

That's right, it's a city.

The thick and solid city walls stand majestically like rolling mountains, with city gates on the east, west, north, south, and four sides. A ten-meter-wide moat is dug outside the city walls, and river water is drawn from the urban area. The whole city is as solid as gold.

Standing on the square in front of Xicheng Mansion, Xiang Nanchuan was stunned for 10 minutes.

When Xiang Nanchuan listened to Zhong Hesheng's explanation, he was silent for a while, this Zhong Hesheng really dared to think.

So far, although Chi Yan is the leader of the base, the people below all call him "captain", not "leader" or "base chief".

Not to mention the future, at least for now, Chi Yan has no intention of becoming king.

In this chaotic world, there are those who occupy the land as kings, and some who are superficially attached to the country and secretly have their own thoughts. It can be seen clearly that Beicheng's restraint on the base below is gradually weakening, and the state power is in jeopardy.

Once Xizhou declares its independence, it will inevitably stand on the opposite side of Beicheng, just like the Tianlong base. When Beicheng is free, they will be the first to deal with them.

That's why Xiang Nanchuan said that Zhong Hesheng was too bold.

Of course, Zhong Hesheng considered it very carefully, he pushed his glasses, "Don't think too much, this is just the city of the two of you."

Xiang Nanchuan raised his forehead, "Brother, is this city too big?" Who would believe it?

Zhong Hesheng smiled, "Fortunately, it's enough to accommodate 10 people."

Xiang Nanchuan elbowed Guai Chiyan, "What do you think?"

Chi Yan raised his eyes to have a panoramic view of the whole city, his eyes were as dark as the night, and he said calmly: "Leave it for now, and we'll talk about it later."

As if he didn't take this one or two seriously, Xiang Nanchuan reflected on himself, whether he made too much fuss or not.But when the time comes, Beicheng really has to settle accounts after the autumn, and there are a lot of bases lined up in front of them, and it is estimated that they will not be able to turn in a short time.

Thinking of this, Xiang Nanchuan temporarily felt relieved.

Zhong Hesheng asked them to name Xicheng Mansion. Everyone came up with the name Xicheng Mansion casually. Xiang Nanchuan said there was no need to call it Xicheng Mansion. State city.

Zhong Hesheng took them for a stroll around the city mansion. There were all public facilities inside, waiting for the survivors to move in.

Finally, I visited the future city lord's mansion of the two of them.The City Lord's Mansion is a combination of Beijing-style architecture and Su's garden style. The courtyard is wide, the roof with high ridges and angles, the retro red bricks and blue tiles, the hanging eaves painted, and the palace lanterns under the eaves. It is full of dignity and full of Jiangnan Water Town The meaning of simplicity and tranquility.

Although Xiang Nanchuan is a rich second generation and his family lives in a luxurious villa, his family is far from a real wealthy family. A courtyard like the palace building in front of him can't be bought even if he loses his fortune.

The city is beautiful, but not very popular, and Xiang Nanchuan is not interested after a few more glances.

Xiang Nanchuan didn't intend to move into the Xicheng Mansion right now. After sightseeing, he took a group of "tourists" and drove back to the urban area.

Except for some people who participated in the construction of Zhong Hesheng, the other survivors didn't know the function of the city, and thought it was the leader's city.

Of course, some survivors said some sour things behind their backs when they saw the majestic city, but more people just didn't care.Everyone tacitly agrees that this is a troubled world where the strong are respected. It is someone's ability to be the emperor of the land. If you are not convinced, you can find a piece of land and become king yourself.It’s good to be alive, so what’s the point of thinking so much.

Now that Qingping Road has become the busiest street in the base, it is not easy for Xiang Nanchuan to go back. As for the place where Chi Yan lived before, there is naturally no way to continue to live.Zhong Hesheng had expected that Xiang Nanchuan would not easily agree to live in the City Lord's Mansion, so he properly arranged another place for them to live.

The new teams from Beicheng were also arranged in nearby communities. The most important thing in Xizhou was houses.

It can be said that Xizhou is the only base with complete urban buildings among so many bases.In the early days of the end of the world, the city was the first place to fall. The survivors fled to the countryside or the suburbs, established a base, and then slowly recovered the city. There are few people like Xizhou who directly recovered the entire city and then established a base.

What Zhong Hesheng arranged for them was a European-style villa with a garden at the entrance. Of course, the garden has been changed into a vegetable garden. After all, every piece of soil in the base is precious, and it would be too wasteful to use it for planting flowers.

Xiang Nanchuan rubbed his chin, "The lettuce grows well, late winter, remember to pick some stir-fried vegetables at night."

Mu Dong pursed her lips and snickered, and responded.

The house was very clean. Zhong Hesheng asked someone to come and clean it on a regular basis every day, so that it was convenient for Xiang Nanchuan and the others to come back and move in at any time.

Before the sofa under Xiang Nanchuan's butt was warmed up, Zhong Hesheng began to report the affairs of the base.

There are plantations, experimental fields, etc. in the base. The industrial park officially resumed work two months ago, and there are more than [-] employees.

At present, the total population of the base has reached 50, the number of people with supernatural powers is more than 53, and a total of [-] teams have passed the assessment.

A-level teams include Longteng, Shashen, Black Rose, etc.

Speaking of this, Xiang Nanchuan suddenly interrupted Zhong Hesheng's report, "Is it the Dragon Team from Tianyang Base? Is their captain Qiao Donghua?"

Zhong Hesheng nodded, "Do you know each other?"

Chi Yan nodded slightly, "I had contact with Tianyang Base."

Zhong Hesheng was thoughtful, he opened the notebook he carried with him, and took a brush to write something on the paper, "He didn't say anything, but the Dragon Team is very powerful. They came here at the beginning of the year, and they quickly integrated into it." Base." With that said, Zhong Hesheng looked at Shen Chaoan.

Shen Chaoan said solemnly: "I have observed them for a while, and I have made sure that they have no problems."

They have investigated all the teams that have joined from outside, and it can be said that among these A-level teams, all of them are a little ready to move, except for the Longteng team, which is very cold and disdain to join forces with other teams.

Thinking of this, Zhong Hesheng couldn't help but feel helpless. It was precisely because the leader of their base was away for a long time that some teams below started thinking that they shouldn't have.Although civil strife broke out in the base, and Zhong Hesheng was sure of suppressing it, suppressing it by force is not a long-term solution.

Fortunately, at this time the captain and the others finally came back.

Xiang Nanchuan said, "Ask Qiao Donghua to meet me tomorrow."

Shen Chaoan said cautiously: "May I be in the Council Hall at ten o'clock in the morning?"

"can."

Seeing the nod to Nanchuan, Shen Chaoan took out the same notebook as Zhong Hesheng, and wrote down the time and place on it.

Xiang Nanchuan looked at the two people with similar movements, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, the two people were really... amazingly similar, no wonder Zhong Hesheng would promote Shen Chaoan to the post of secretary.

Shen Chaoan is a native of Xizhou, one of the survivors rescued at the time, and worked in the government department before.His wife is a high school teacher and now works as a minister in the industrial park.

The only regret is that their sons are studying in universities in other places, and they lost contact after the end of the world.

Xiang Nanchuan still remembered that Zhong Hesheng's wife and children were all in his hometown. He came to Xizhou on business at that time, but he couldn't go back once he went.

Xiang Nanchuan bent his fingers and tapped the table. They have been looking for Zhong Hesheng's wife and children, but unfortunately, they have been to many bases to issue missing person notices. Until today, there is still no news about Zhong Hesheng's wife and children.

Zhong Hesheng's willingness to vigorously promote Shen Chao'an was probably out of sympathy for each other.

That night, Mudong picked lettuce and lettuce from the vegetable garden at the entrance, and fried a green vegetable.But the simple stir-fry has won everyone's praise.The green vegetables grown from the ground are crisp and tender, with a crisp taste. When you bite down, the juice in the stems and leaves has the unique crispness of green vegetables.However, the vegetables in the supermarket were bland, so Xiang Nanchuan once asked the system in a roundabout way how the vegetables in the supermarket were grown.

The system told him bluntly that the fruits and vegetables in the supermarket are all cultivated with nutrient solution without soil. The land resources there are too precious, and few people use large tracts of land to grow them, so all the fruits and vegetables are directly cultivated with nutrient solution.

Back to the point.

Qiao Donghua received the notification from Shen Chao'an and said to Qin Qianqian: "Tomorrow's task is cancelled, you and I will go to the Council Hall."

Qin Qianqian thought for a while and said with a smile: "Should I take Nini and Niuniu sisters so that Captain Chi and the others can meet them? The two girls are thinking about them."

Qiao Donghua frowned, "We have important things to talk about, and it's not a tea party. They just came back, and they'll probably be busy these days, let's wait a few days."

Qin Qianqian was indeed Qiao Donghua's confidant and lover. In just a few words, she keenly realized that the man seemed to have something on her mind. She frowned slightly and didn't say much.

The next morning, Qiao Donghua took Qin Qianqian to the appointment on time.

As soon as Qiao Donghua entered the door, Xiang Nanchuan smiled and raised his voice: "Captain Qiao, long time no see. If you come to Xizhou and let me know in advance, I can welcome you. If Captain Zhong hadn't mentioned your Dragon Team, I would I didn't know you were here yet."

Qin Qianqian smiled and said: "Mr. Xiang will always say good things. You were still in Beicheng when we arrived, so I dare not ask you to come back all the way."

Chi Yan and Qiao Donghua looked at each other, "Captain Qiao, please sit down!"

Qiao Donghua was also polite and sat down.

Several people were polite.

In the past few months, Chi Yan has received news from Tianyang base intermittently.

Most of them are irrelevant, but recently a few weird things have happened in Tianyang Base.

When Chi Yan mentioned these anecdotes, Qiao Donghua's face sank slightly, but he recovered in an instant. He subconsciously took a sip of tea from his cup, as if trying to cover up something, "I've been away from Tianyang base for almost half a year, don't you?" Knowing that so many things have happened recently, the disappearance cases of the supernatural beings you mentioned are indeed a bit strange."

Noticing the slight change in Qiao Donghua's expression, he lowered his eyes to Nanchuan, rubbed his fingers on the handrail, "By the way, why did you come to Xizhou? Xizhou is not your best choice, right?"

With the strength of the Longteng team, no matter which base they go to, there will always be people rushing to ask for it. They didn't go to any big base, but took refuge in their corner of Xizhou, so why not surprise Nanchuan.

Qiao Donghua said: "Not long after you left, there was a big change in the management of the base. It was Major General Xu Luo who suggested that I come to Xizhou."

Major General Xu Luo?

Xiang Nanchuan had a delicate expression, "Did he say the reason?" Why is it their base?

Qiao Donghua said: "I don't know about that."

Chi Yan said at this moment: "Do you know what happened to Commander He's illness?"

Qiao Donghua's expression became serious, "I don't know the exact process. I only heard that Adjutant Wu poisoned Commander He. The poison is so poisonous that there is no cure. Commander He died half a year ago."

Xiang Nanchuan couldn't believe it, how could it be Adjutant Wu?

He blurted out, "Could it be that he is also a member of the Sheng'an Church?"

"It seems that Mr. Xiang knows a lot of things." Qiao Donghua changed the subject, "Major General Xu Luo has something else, let me tell you." He said "you", but looked at Xiang Nanchuan .

Chi Yan's eyes sank, "What are you talking about?"

"Are you from the same place as them?"

Xiang Nanchuan's heart suddenly tightened, what does Major General Xu Luo mean by this sentence, who is he from the same place as?Could it be that "they" refer to illegal crossers?How did Major General Xu Luo know that the illegal traversers came from other worlds?

There were so many problems that Xiang Nanchuan was almost overwhelmed.

Qiao Donghua stared at Xiang Nanchuan, as if he wanted to see through him, "Why, is this question difficult to answer?"

Xiang Nanchuan shook his head slowly, "Can I know who 'they' refers to?"

"Don't you have the answer in your heart?" Qiao Donghua's eyes were cold.

"Qiao Donghua!" Chi Yan shouted abruptly, his expression was indifferent, but everyone present could feel the hidden anger in him.

Qin Qianqian on the side was already speechless, no matter how bold she was, she was startled by this sudden situation.

Qiao Donghua couldn't restrain his excitement, "Captain Chi, you don't want to know where the man who sleeps with you every night comes from?" He said word by word, "Is it a human or a ghost?!"

"Enough!" Xiang Nanchuan slapped the table and stood up abruptly. He looked straight into Qiao Donghua's eyes without avoiding his eyes. He said every word, "Captain Qiao, I think I have a clear conscience. It doesn't matter where I come from , I am me, I didn’t occupy anyone’s body, I didn’t do anything wrong to you, I say that, are you satisfied?”

After a while, Qiao Donghua suddenly took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, and in front of several people, he said, "Major General Xu Luo, I have conveyed what you want to ask, and you should have heard Mr. Xiang's answer, right?"
