NOVPUBChapter 108: Stroll through the market
Before long, a new batch of customers arrived.
Again, it was a big client.
The leader from Sun Base.
They placed an order with Su Yinhe for a batch of canned meat, the base planned to have Superpower Users clear the Mutated Plants around the base, with these cans serving as rewards andmpensation.
There were too many plants around the base, and while Superpower Usersuld venture out, ordinary people would bme plant fertilizer within minutes if they were careless.
But in a base, most of the population was still made up of ordinary people, and the leadersuld not simply ignore them.
They had tonsider the survival of the ordinary people as well.
Therefore, they wanted to assign Superpower Users to clear the plants so that ordinary peopleuld go out to find food.
Furthermore, these cleared plantsuld also be turned into food.
With careful identification, oneuld find edible plants, ensuring that ordinary peopleuld be well-fed.
Compared to previous disasters like torrential rains, rching sun, and heavy snow, growing plants were actually a good thing for the base.
The base leaders were very amiable, so after learning about this, Su Yinhe offered them a generous diunt.
She, too, hoped that the people of the base would clear the Mutated Plants quickly, as they severely affected her business.
After shopping, the base leader hesitated, then extended an invitation to Su Yinhe.
“I don’t know if Boss Su would be interested in visiting Sun Base,” he said. Sun Base was nearly fullynstructed, having already had a basic structure before, and furthernstruction wasn’t difficult.
The base had already regained its bustle.
The base leaders also wanted to foster a good relationship with Su Yinhe, hence the invitation.
“Me?”
“Yes. These days, thanks to the supplies Boss Su has sold us, we have kept our personnel losses to a minimum. We would very much like to express our gratitude to Boss Su.”
“Sure,” Su Yinhe agreed readily.
After all, with hardly anyoneming to the supermarket, it would be nice for her to take a trip to Sun Base.
She had self-defense capabilities and wasn’t afraid of any trouble that might occur outside of her supermarket.
So, upon being invited by the base leader, Su Yinhe thought for a moment and agreed.
She closed the supermarket and hung a sign that read, “The boss has gone out for fun, return date uncertain.”
Then she followed the Superpower User who came to carry the cans back to the base.
Watching them skillfully cutting down Mutated Plants, she found it quite interesting and decided to give it a try herself.
She took a watermelon knife from her space and slashed, easily slicing through tough and hard Mutated Plants as if she were cutting tofu.
The Superpower Users initially looked down on her slender arms and legs.
But then they saw how effortlessly she cleared swathes of Mutated Plants.
Anyntempt they felt vanished in an instant.
During breaks, some even approached her to get acquainted.
Partly due to her identity as a supermarket owner and partly because they were impressed by her displayed skills.
They wanted to ask her for tips.
In response, Su Yinheuld only pretend to be aloof.
Ask for what, ask for help? She relied entirely on cheatdes provided by the system.
She certainlyuldn’t let Tongzime back and give everyone a cheatde.
Upon returning to the base with so many cans, the group attracted attention.
And Su Yinhe, the clean and neatly dressed supermarket owner with her fair and tender looks, also became a spectacle.
A crowd proposed themselves to her right there, offering to warm her bed.
Both men and women were included.
It was quite wild.
Su Yinhe was frightened, nearly ready to run away, but the base leader noticed something was amiss and had a Superpower User rescue her.
At that moment, her appreciation for him peaked.
The base leaders felt awkward.
“Everyone’s a bit enthusiastic.”
“Yeah. A bit too enthusiastic.” Su Yinhe tugged at her slightly wrinkled clothes.
Damn, that’s enthusiasm.
Almost thought I had entered the Silk Cave.
The mixed kind.
Sun Base’s leadership gave Su Yinhe a tour, painstakingly introducing the base along the way.
Sure, it was rundown, but the leaders’ enthusiasm made up for that shorming.
When Lin Murong, out to take out the trash, saw Su Yinhe, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, and pinched himself hard, rubbing his eyes before he was certain it really was Su Yinhe.
“Galaxy! It is you. I thought I saw the wrong person.” Lin Murong, too excited to even dispose of his trash, came running over with it in hand.
“Hey.” Su Yinhe greeted.
It was only after Lin Murong rushed over that he noticed the base leader standing next to Su Yinhe.
He greeted the base leader as well.
Knowing that the base leader planned to show Su Yinhe around, Lin Murong didn’t hesitate to take over the task.
In just a few words, Su Yinhe’s “tour guide” had changed.
The base leader went back to his business.
After all, as a leader, he had plenty to do.
“Galaxy, you should’ve told us you wereming to play. I would’ve shown you around.”
“I wasn’t planning on it, but he mentioned it, so I came to take a look.” Business was slow anyway, had some time.
“Don’t worry, I know this base inside out, know all the fun spots. You might think he’s a leader, but he doesn’t know these things as well as I do.”
“Okay. But, uh… maybe you should throw away that trash you’re holding first?” Su Yinhe had noticed the trash Lin Murong was carrying.
She watched him chatting with the base leader while holding it, then chatting with her while still holding it.
It seemed he even planned to give her a tour while holding onto the trash.
“Oh. Almost forgot.” Lin Murong smacked his forehead, the excitement of seeing Su Yinhe had nearly made him forget to throw away the trash.
After disposing of the trash, Lin Murong then took Su Yinhe around.
Honestly, there wasn’t much to do in the base,nsidering it was the apocalypse. If pressed for fun, the base’s market would be it.
Very lively.
Lots of people were setting up stalls with all sorts of strange and curious things.
Su Yinhe found herself unable to move as she looked around.
She joined in.
The market’s trade was all about bartering.
As long as you had food, youuld buy anything.
Including people.
As Su Yinhe wandered, she came upon a stall selling people.
They looked weak, leaning on each other, giving off a strange stench.
They were going cheap.
Three pieces of breaduld take one away.
People around acted as if it were the norm.
The stall sold many slaves, but few were looking.
Funny, theyuld barely feed themselves, where would they find the means to keep a slave.
“In your base, there are slaves? For sale?” Su Yinheuldn’t help asking, seeing Lin Murong’s indifferent demeanor.
“Well, when people can’t survive, they sell themselves. You see these people, they’re all old, weak, sick, and disabled. The strong ones can fend for themselves, they wouldn’t sell.” n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
“You interested in buying?” Lin Murong thought she was interested.
“Not really. Just find it a bit strange.” Su Yinhe felt weird.
“Ah, it’s normal. Everyone’s having a tough time. Sometimes, if they’re really about to starve, they can’t be tooncerned about that. They have no superpowers, can’t get food, and end up starving to death. By selling themselves, maybe they’ll find a good master and get a chance to live.”
