Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1571 Kill the Holy Mother First in the Apocalypse 9
Although the old lady wanted to take advantage of the dazzling array and get a little something extra, she wouldn't be foolish enough to ask someone to take them to collect supplies, and she wouldn't resort to harassment and pestering if she didn't want to.

Before the apocalypse, she could have used tricks and pestering to achieve her goals, but now that it's the apocalypse, she can't afford to be unreasonable or pestering, lest she cause a commotion and attract zombies. Don't be fooled by the small number of people in this neighborhood; just because there aren't many doesn't mean zombies won't come. There's no guarantee that, after all, the zombies in this world can climb stairs and run, unlike the slow-moving traditional zombies that can only walk on flat ground and can't climb stairs. So who dares to make a commotion? If she attracts any zombies, she'll be finished.

Considering that arguing and making a scene might attract zombies, the old woman didn't press the matter and let Linlang and the other person leave. Otherwise, given the old woman's personality, it would have been hard to say what might have happened.

Linlang, having dealt with the old woman, quickly left with Zhang Min. She had been quite tense just now, knowing that the old woman was no good person. Linlang was genuinely afraid that the old woman would cause trouble and attract zombies if the commotion got too big.

Fortunately, although this old lady wasn't a very good person, she wasn't completely brainless and dared to act shamelessly in this situation.

After the false alarm, Linlang quickly took Zhang Min back to their lodgings, fearing any further complications.

Linlang successfully brought Zhang Min to the lottery station and settled Zhang Min on the second floor.

There was a simple bed on the second floor of the lottery station, probably a place for the lottery station owner to rest temporarily. Of course, Linlang had already taken away the blankets and other bedding and replaced them with new ones. Anyway, the small supermarket also sells blankets, so she just put them on.

There wasn't even a bed on the third floor; it was empty before. After Linlang arrived, she took a bed out of her spatial storage. She had arranged it long ago and kept it there so that she could take it out whenever she needed it.

Linlang hadn't told these people before that she had a small supermarket where she was staying, so she had a lot of supplies. Now that she had changed her location and was staying at a lottery station, she was even less likely to mention it, and just let them guess where she got the supplies from.

Anyway, she won't tell them unless they ask.

Once they reached a safe place, Zhang Min asked Linlang why she hadn't told the old lady the truth.

Linlang was willing to explain to Zhang Min, which would also be a good opportunity to explain her criteria for taking in people. She said, "I've never dealt with them before, so I don't know what their personalities are like. If they're not good people, they might come along and cause trouble for you. Besides, she looks alright, so she probably still has supplies at home. In that case, there's no need to bring them over. So, don't mention the shelter. I only take in people like you who have no supplies and might not survive without it."

Zhang Min nodded and said, "You're right. It's better not to take it if you don't know the situation."

Next, Linlang brought several other people who needed help to her place.

Before that, Linlang had already opened up the space on both sides, so there was room to put them in. Of course, in case someone was unwilling to move in later, Linlang had told Zhang Min and the others before they arrived that she would be bringing in some people who needed help, so two people would need to share a room, and if there were too many people, the number of beds in a room might even need to be increased.

These people had no food, so they were satisfied to have food now and naturally had no complaints.

In addition, Linlang had carefully observed the character of these people for a long time and found them to be quite good. So after they arrived, things were indeed very harmonious. No one argued or gathered together to discuss or mock Linlang for being a saint, saving people and contributing supplies every day. They only expressed their gratitude to Linlang.

You see, the group of people the original owner saved would initially express their gratitude after each visit, but after a couple of days, when they gathered to discuss it, they would privately mock the original owner as an idiot. They had so many supplies, why didn't they hide them away and enjoy them themselves, but instead used them to save people? That's why they call those people ungrateful. Someone saved them, and they still mocked them for being an idiot. Who would save them in the future? The original owner didn't want to be mocked as an idiot by them.

The reason Linlang knew about this was not from the original owner's memories, but from monitoring this group of people. These people hadn't left and were still in the original owner's supermarket, complaining to each other. They said that when the original owner saved them, they mocked him for being an idiot for having supplies and still saving people. Now that they were starving and no one was saving them, were they still going to mock the person who saved them as an idiot?
Listening to these insults made Linlang's blood pressure rise. Fortunately, if no one rescued these people, they would probably starve to death, so watching them made Linlang feel a little better.

Linlang has placed a lot of fitness equipment in its store on the first floor. These are not the same equipment that the supermarket had before; Linlang collected them from other places.

Now that these people have come here, they have nothing to do every day, so they just exercise here.

The reason for exercising wasn't just because Linlang said that as the number of people increased, those who were willing could join the patrol team to clear out zombies outside and obtain more supplies. The increasing number of zombies outside also motivated everyone to exercise to avoid being too physically weak. In case of danger, not to mention anything else, if you can't run as fast as others, you'll die faster. So, at least one person needs to be fast, right? That's why treadmills are the most commonly used tool.

Since everyone's physical condition isn't good enough right now, Linlang should handle the rescue.

Fortunately, there weren't many people in the vicinity who needed immediate rescue. After all, most people have some food and drink at home, and if they eat sparingly, they can last for ten days, half a month, or even a month without any problem. Only someone like Zhang Min, who has nothing and hasn't even bought many snacks, would be unable to hold on for long.

Furthermore, if Linlang cannot rescue them immediately, she can use drones to deliver some supplies to these people to hold them off for a while until she comes to rescue them.

Linlang is now increasingly determined to use the residential area behind the building to accommodate more people.

The reason why I am becoming more and more determined is that, firstly, the occupancy rate of this community is low after it is built, but at least 10% of the houses have been renovated. It's just that many landlords haven't moved in yet. This community is not small. Just these renovated houses that no one lives in can accommodate a lot of people. In the future, when more people come and we get renovation materials, we can install windows in the other unrenovated houses. Even the bare houses can be lived in, so that even more people can live there.

Secondly, the location of this community is excellent. It is surrounded by three-story shops, which form a natural wall. The wall is more than ten meters high and several meters thick. There are only four exits in the east, west, south, and north. If the exits are blocked, the security of this community will be greatly improved. It is much better than some communities that only have a shallow wall, and some communities are even open communities that cannot be fenced off at all. It is really suitable as a small shelter. This is what she decided after repeatedly comparing and weighing the surrounding buildings.
