Lu Ye stood in the hotel lobby, making people entering and exiting the building (mainly the ones going downstairs to go out) couldn’t help but lighten their steps and lower their voices, and wondered why he appeared here, with a waiting attitude.
“Greetings, Captain Lu.”
“Good morning, Captain Lu.”
Facing everyone’s greetings, Lu Ye nodded slightly in response, and then he heard a conversation.
“The beauty who just arrived yesterday is in the cafeteria.”
“I didn’t have a chance to take a look yesterday. I have to go and have a look now. I heard that she is very beautiful.”
“She is really beautiful, and her dress is also very beautiful. Honestly, it’s a visual pleasure.”
When Lu Ye heard this, he understood the situation after a quick thought. Did Bai Xiaohu already head to the cafeteria? He looked at the time, not seven o’clock yet, she woke up quite early.
He walked towards the cafeteria, just in time to meet three people who came out of the cafeteria.
Seeing him, Bai Xiaohu smiled and said, “What a coincidence.” After allying, she looked at Lu Ye exactly as she looked at her people.
Lu Ye said: “You already eaten?”
“Yep.”
“Wait a moment for me.” He went in to buy breakfast and came out. Shi Jian and Chen Dao took the initiative to leave first knowing their position, and Bai Xiaohu stayed waiting for him at the door. Lu Yu said: “Let’s go, I will take you to apply for the resident permit first.”
It is confirmed that Bai Xiaohu will long stay in the Jiangcheng Base, at the Zhongyang Team. Therefore, the official residence permit was easy to handle. Just after a while, Bai Xiaohu got a new card, which is very similar to the previous temporary pass. After looking at it, she put it back in her small satchel.
Then Lu Ye took her to the nearest mercenary hall to have a look.
The mercenary hall, this very fantasy-sounding place, is actually very common in the Jiangcheng Base. There is one in each district. Regardless if one is an esper or an ordinary person, everyone can come here to register, and issue and receive tasks. It is said that this thing was created by a group of espers who love to play games.
Well, to be precise, its prototype was designed by some game enthusiasts in the Zhongyang Team. Lu Ye can also be considered one of the founders. The company he ran before the apocalypse has a subsidiary company that operates online games.
Since the establishment of the mercenary hall, people have a place to rely on. They can come here if they want to hire someone for something, find a worker, or form a team. Invisibly, it also serves as a kind of control system, which plays a great role in maintaining order.
Bai Xiaohu followed him into the hall and saw huge screens hanging on the wall, with rows of words of various colors scrolling on them, representing the published tasks one by one.
Some are hiring people to go out and find their relatives, some are hiring people to pick up something somewhere, some are hiring bodyguards to protect themselves while they go out to kill zombies, and some are requesting people to explore the number of zombies in certain places.
These are tasks issued by individuals, as well as daily tasks issued by the base: go out of the base every day to kill zombies, take care of zombie corpses outside, collect recyclable materials, and more general tasks like: building base fortifications, go out to do farm work, repairing cars and other machinery.…..
Light blue represents normal levels, yellow represents certain dangers, red represents high-risk factors, and green represents the task is basically safe, which is generally a simple daily task.
The rewards of these tasks are generally food, fabric and clothing, daily necessities, and points that can be used as currency inside the base.
In addition, some individuals also use it to put up job-seeking information. For example: I am a tailor with more than ten years of work experience. I am currently looking for a stable job. If you are interested, please contact *****; or I am a third-level fire esper with rich experience in killing zombies. I have a car and I am looking for trip partners to go to XX city.…..
Bai Xiaohu said: “Shi Jian and the others said that today they are off from team duty, so they’re planning to go out and see if there are any suitable missions in the mercenary hall. Is this what they were talking about?”
Lu Ye nodded.
At this moment, an enlarged and bold bright purple text appeared on the central screen: I have developed a drug to treat the infected, and it is in the experimental stage. All infected are welcome to come to try the drug for free. Those who are interested can contact the numbers******,******,******
When these extremely eye-catching words first appeared, it almost blinded people’s eyes. This is the one con of the mercenary hall. Looking at the screen too often makes people dizzy. The brighter the color, the harder to read. This particular bright purple is very dazzling.
But after reading it thoroughly, everyone present was in a commotion.
“Drugs for treating the infected, am I understanding it correctly? Can the infected be saved?”
“I’m afraid it’s just someone who is going crazy. The only ending for the infected is death. I have never heard of such a drug.”
“Didn’t you see that it’s in the experimental stage? It’s normal that we haven’t heard about it.”
“Is this another brain-dead organization that wants to arrest people for drug testing? Wasn’t there enough trouble before? The volunteers who entered that research organization all went in vertically and came out horizontally.”
“Look clearly first. It says those who are interested in testing the medicine should contact them, and there is no coercion.”
“Anyway, if I am unfortunately infected, I will definitely try it.”
During the quarrel, Bai Xiaohu and Lu Ye glanced at each other. This is the approach they came up with. One is to let people know that there is such a thing as treating the infected, and the other is to let Bai Xiaohu quietly get in touch with some infected and experiment with whether all infected can be helped, and where is the limit of this ability.
Because Bai Xiaohu said that her act of saving the infected won’t be loud and could be carried out quietly in a room, so Lu Ye proposed to borrow the name of experimental medicine as a starting point.
Not just the Jiangcheng Base, but other bases have also done or are conducting various kinds of research on drugs against zombie “viruses”. Such news will not cause a sensation and can achieve its purpose.
At this time, the people in the hall had already taken out their communicators, trying to call the contact number on the message to ask for details.
Of course, with so many people calling at the same time, even with three different contact numbers, the line would still be busy. But luckily, the connection was made, so everyone around crowded over to listen.
“Is your medicine real?”
“Yes sir, the medicine is real, but its efficacy is still uncertain. If you are willing, you are welcome to try the medicine when the time comes, but please note that you will be responsible for any consequences yourself.”
“Ah, what are you talking about, who would want to try it if they’re not infected, but where should one go by the way?”
Everyone pricked up their ears.
“The third district, No. 347 Yang’an Road. To ensure the safety of both parties in the treatment, the security there is strict. We do not allow non-infected people to enter. I hope you understand this.”
The third district, No. 347 Yang’an Road?
Everyone thought about it in their head.
“Isn’t that next door to the Zhongyang Team?”
The Zhongyang Team is too famous, so many people know its address.
“Yes sir, for the personal safety of the research team and to provide a good environment for drug testing, we hired elites from the Zhongyang Team to be responsible for security. So, don’t try to break in or make trouble~.”
Random sir here and there, making them sound like the customer service of that certain shopping app, which sounds strange. However, they learned that the Zhongyang Team is participating in this matter, although just for security-related reasons, but people still develop a feeling of hope for this drug.
Maybe, is it true?
One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and people immediately started talking about it. And such a situation is happening in every district’s mercenary halls all over the base, and the news is spreading more and more widely.
Walking out of the mercenary hall, Bai Xiaohu still wanted to laugh: “That voice is Pan Gu, right?”
“Well, he asked to be a ‘customer service representative’ himself. Many people want to go and watch it in person today. When we get there later, I will introduce them to you.”
Bai Xiaohu nodded. Now she got the permit and visited the mercenary hall, this actually serves as the relaxation before devoting to work. Bai Xiaohu satisfied her curiosity and followed Lu Ye back.
It was only after returning to the Zhongyang Team that they realized that many people were surrounding the Zhongyang Team.
The next door was originally a furniture store, with three floors, and each floor was quite spacious. It was originally occupied by a small Team, but later, the team dispersed and there was no one.
Quite a few forces want to take over this furniture store. After all, houses are really in short supply now. But although this furniture store is kind of big, it is hard for it to accommodate a lot of people. Yet it also can’t be considered small since it needs at least a hundred people to make it worth it. The rent for this place at the Base Housing Management Department is quite high. In addition, with the Zhongyang Team being next to it, it made people feel a lot of pressure. Therefore, it has always been unoccupied, and it happened to be suitable for Bai Xiaohu to use at this time.
Of course, the Zhongyang Team paid the rent in advance, because she is just a pauper right now.
At this time, a group of people who heard the news surrounded the building, and inside there were some people from the Zhongyang Team hired to clean and renovate the interior. The project in fact started last night, and now the first floor is mostly finished. It is ready to be open for business at any time, it is just that there are currently no infected visiting yet.
Bai Xiaohu saw a person in the crowd.
“Brother! You agreed that I can come and visit you today, but you went out again.” Zhuang Qingzai immediately rushed over when he saw Lu Ye, just like a puppy seeing its owner.
Lu Ye said lightly, “You got something?”
“It’s nothing, I just want to get close to you.”
Thinking of the clues he provided yesterday, Lu Ye finally had a little more patience with him.
Zhuang Qingzai then said: “Brother, is it true that there are medicines here? Could the medicines be sold to the Haicheng Base when it’s ready?”
Lu Ye: “No.”
Zhuang Qingzai: “…Then can I go in and have a look?”
Lu Ye didn’t answer. Bai Xiaohu said: “Okay, let’s go in.” She looked at Zhuang Qingzai and squinted with a smile in her eyes. They met again, little butt, it seems that she can finally seize the opportunity this time.
Zhuang Qingzai looked at her as if he was a little surprised that she could make the decision, but seeing his elder brother didn’t object and agreed with Bai Xiaohu’s words, he couldn’t help but think that their relationship is quite unusual. However, didn’t the elder brother met her for the first time on that same day he met her? Their relationship developing this fast?
He glanced at Bai Xiaohu again, her skirt today is brighter in color, the belt design is very special, the wide belt is wrapped several times, and there is a long drag after the bow tie, showing a very slender waist. The dress has several layers, the material is very light, and it has a retro style.
If her style yesterday was the elegant style of a little princess, today it is a bit more capable and chivalrous.
Just like what one would see on TV, anyway, it’s very beautiful, extremely beautiful.
Zhuang Qingzai blushed a little as he looked.
Thinking wildly, the three of them entered the big iron gate left behind by the team before the transformation. Lu Ye happened to receive a call and walked to the side to talk. Bai Xiaohu looked left and right, thinking it was a godsend, so she walked beside Zhuang Qingzai, acting calm and natural. Then they reached a position where neither Lu Ye nor the cleaning people could see, she suddenly called out to him: “Hey.”
Zhuang Qingzai nodded.
Bai Xiaohu did the same thing she did to Lu Ye previously and raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes. The young man’s eyes instantly lost sight, and his whole body went limp.
Bai Xiaohu hurriedly supported him, let him lean against a sycamore tree, and touched his ass without hesitation.
Zhuang Qingzai’s trousers were a little tight today, and his buttocks were a bit more obvious, so she didn’t have to grope like last time. She directly touched his tailbone with two fingers and activated her spiritual energy.
Bai Xiaohu raised her eyebrows, then frowned.
Nothing, nothing was found. There is no tail here, so this person is just an ordinary person, nothing unusual at all.
Then why does he always have a faint aura of the demon cat?
Bai Xiaohu withdrew her hand, frowned, and thought about it, feeling very disappointed.
Footsteps were approaching: “What are you doing?”
Just as Bai Xiaohu was about to turn her head, her wrists were clasped; Lu Ye grabbed her. Then she saw Lu Ye frown, his eyes were asking what troubles are you causing?
Bai Xiaohu suddenly felt guilty. When did he come? Wasn’t he answering the phone? She noticed that he was still holding the communicator in his hand, and she didn’t know if he had hung up. It was obvious that he came in a hurry, and she is not sure how much of this he saw.
Touched his younger brother’s buttocks in front of his elder brother, ahem…
“Well, he suddenly felt a little dizzy. I helped him up and did nothing else, really!”
Lu Ye: Let go of him, come at me instead!
Thank you so so much for picking up this novel!
