The end of the world: I am linked to a mobile lottery store

Chapter 572 The smell of feces and urine

Wang Yang's smile vanished instantly, he frowned slightly, and then sat firmly on his bottom.

Luo Mu couldn't budge him. Their eyes met, and sparks flew in the air.

Neither of them wanted to give in, and this competitive spirit inexplicably arose.

Lu Li was also confused, so she simply stretched out both hands.

"Come on, let's cut one hand each, okay?" she said, utterly helpless and speechless.

Wang Yang and Luo Mu glared at each other, each grabbed one of Lu Li's hands, and started cutting!
After cutting, they are placed together to compare and see who cuts the neatest and roundest.

Lu Li looked at them from left to right, "Hmm~ they're all good."

She couldn't be bothered to satisfy their inexplicable competitiveness; she'd just treat everyone equally.

Wang Yang and Luo Mu were fairly satisfied with the answer, but both felt they had done a good job editing it.

Luli: Bored.

Another fulfilling day, perfectly spent.

……

Day three at Rainstone Base.

As soon as Lu Li woke up, she habitually turned on her personal computer to check the information.

I still receive work reports from Zhang Ye, so I'm using her as a memo.

The gist is: after 24 hours of observation, the purified zombies showed no side effects. They will continue to go out and find wild zombies to inject with the drug, to see how effective it is.

While searching for new zombie samples, they also observed any potential side effects.

On the other hand, they repeatedly experimented with the mixing ratio of the two types of blood to determine how to adjust it to maximize the effect.

After reading it, Lu Li offered a few words of encouragement and couldn't help but start imagining things.

If this potion is successfully developed, all the zombies in the world will be purified.

They have all returned to human form; there are no more zombies or crystal cores in the world.

With everyone's joint efforts, we can gradually rebuild a civilized era and restore social order.

Children go to school, adults go to work, and life follows a set routine.

Although it's tedious and boring, it's still better than constantly being on edge like this.

But does everyone really want to rebuild a civilized era?
When everyone gathered for lunch, Lu Li brought up this topic.

Only she and the high-ranking officials at the central base knew about the existence and progress of the [purification agent].

Upon hearing this, Shen Bing and the others fell silent and began to envision a civilized era.

Luo Mu muttered, "I feel like things are fine as they are now. If we were to really rebuild the civilized era, I'd probably only been working for less than two years, right? What could I possibly do then? Work for someone else? I don't want to..."

Lu Li also wondered, if the superpowered individuals were to be rebuilt, would they also be able to return to normal?

What will so many people without any skills do then?
Moreover, reconstruction requires a lot of manpower and resources; it cannot be accomplished with just a few words.

It is an extremely long road.

Shen Bing said, "Aren't you working for Boss Lu right now?"

Luo Muyi retorted righteously, "How can that be the same? I am now serving Boss Lu willingly, but in the future, I will be oppressed!"

The topic suddenly veered off course; Lu Li had originally intended to have a serious discussion about their opinions.

Luo Mu stirred things up right from the start, and Lu Li was drawn into the conversation as well.

After the meal, Lu Li posted a message.

If we were to rebuild the age of civilization...

This simple sentence can spark countless people's imaginations.

Someone commented below.

It's best not to rebuild it; I finally managed to cultivate to the fifth rank.

[It's better to rebuild. Killing zombies and collecting crystal cores every day is too tiring.] [It's been ten years, and you still haven't gotten used to it? I think life is fine now. Don't rebuild; there's a bunch of stupid bosses and stupid colleagues.]

What's so great about civilized times? Isn't it better to be a beast of burden every day, free and unrestrained?

You'll know whether it's good or bad when you die.

It's the end of the world, so we should disregard life and enjoy each day as it comes.

We feel it doesn't matter whether we rebuild or not, we're both just as exhausted.

There are all sorts of comments: rebuild, don't rebuild, neutral.

The proportion of people is quite large, which is similar to what Lu Li expected.

Lu Li also received a message from Elder Shen: "What, are you going to rebuild the civilized era all by yourself?"

Full of banter.

Lu Li: [I was just curious about what everyone thought, besides, it was bound to happen sooner or later.]

Elder Shen: [The task is arduous and the road ahead is long... The purification agent is still in the early stages of research and development, and it's unknown when it will be ready for use.]

Lu Li: [It'll be here soon, trust Zhang Ye.]

The chat between the two ended quickly, and Lu Li scrolled through the comments under the post.

Some of the comments were quite funny, saying that rebuilding was pointless and it would be better to be killed by zombies.

In the afternoon, the fresh first prize winners were announced. Lu Li, who was already free, immediately ran downstairs as soon as she saw the announcement.

While running, he kept thinking, "This Rainstone Base is pretty lucky."

I've been here for three days and I've already won two first prizes, one of which was a machine from a night market. I wonder what this one will be?
It was another shop, but it looked unremarkable from the outside, all dark and gloomy, without even a signboard.

A group of curious customers gathered around, but few dared to go in; they only dared to look around.

She spotted the shop owner immediately, because she was the only one touching this and that.

He touched almost every place he could reach, was he looking for a door? Or... what was he doing?
Lu Li watched from the side for a while, but still couldn't figure out her intentions.

So she took a few steps forward and came up behind her, where she was squatting on the ground touching the base of the wall.

Lu Li reached out and patted her shoulder, afraid that her sudden arrival would frighten her.

The shop owner turned around, slowly raised his head, and met Lu Li's suspicious eyes.

He then calmly greeted Lu Li, "Hi, Boss Lu, what brings you here?"

Their tone was so familiar that you'd think they'd known each other for years.

Lu Li calmly replied, "Let's come and see what the new store is like."

Seeing that she was about to get up, he reached out to help her and casually asked, "What did you see?"

The shop owner shook his head. "No, but I smelled a strong odor of feces and urine."

"Smells like poop and pee?" Lu Li asked in confusion, sniffing hard twice in response.

Instantly, a fishy and foul smell assaulted her senses, nearly choking her to death.

She regretted it; she shouldn't have taken that deep breath without warning. It really did smell like feces and urine.

Why does this smell like feces and urine?
The system finally lost control and burst out laughing in Lu Li's mind.

"Damn it!" Lu Li cursed at the system. "This system knew all along but didn't say anything beforehand."

The system, sensing the situation, immediately stopped laughing and became serious.

Lu Li took out two masks from her storage space and handed one to the shop owner.

The two put it on, instantly blocking out the smell of feces and urine, and Lu Li accurately found the door.

Before pushing it open, I specifically asked the shop owner, "Are you ready?"

Are you ready for an even stronger smell of feces and urine?
The shop owner nodded solemnly, his eyes resolute, as if the two were about to do something of paramount importance.

As expected, when Lu Li pushed open the door, the stench of excrement hit her head.

She quickly closed the door, and the two stood outside the shop, staring at each other in silence.
