Apocalypse: I became rich by selling zombie live broadcasts

Chapter 26 Don’t Put Everything in Your Mouth

In the film and television city.

Shi Nianzhen used the excuse of going to the bathroom and took out the SUV from his portable storage in a corner where no one could see.

Originally, she wanted to follow Zhang Xixi's convoy to see if there was any chance to secretly hunt some zombies.

But Zhang Xixi got in her car, and Huo Xing refused to let Zhang Xixi walk at the end of the team.

"If anything dangerous happens, I won't be able to protect my employer in time, which will affect my professional reputation."

Shi Nianzhen: "..."

Zhang Xixi had no reason to refuse this, so she looked at Shi Nianzhen and said, "Sister, let's go ahead."

"Sure, but if I run into a zombie while walking ahead, Captain Huo, please don't push me around~"

Huo Xing said with a straight face, "No."

However, when Huo Xing was about to get on the real car, she stopped him.

"When driving on the road, zombies aren't that dangerous. You can just knock them away. No need for personal protection."

She also wanted to learn more from Zhang Xixi about the official research on the end of the world.

Judging from Zhang Xixi's evasive manner of speaking, it was obvious that this was not a topic that could be made public.

Now that Huo Xing has caught up, how can they continue chatting?
"That's right, we are just having a private chat, why are you joining in?" Zhang Xixi also stopped him.

Huo Xing pursed her lips and looked at Zhang Xixi.

A man and a woman alone, can this whisper be a serious whisper?
But he didn't reveal a word. With a straight face, he said, "The lead car is responsible for command. If I'm not on it, who will be in charge?"

Shi Nianzhen narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhang Xixi. Zhang Xixi nodded slightly, and she got into the car by herself.

Zhang Xixi pulled Huo Xing aside and said something to him, and then Huo Xing got into a car behind.

Just when Nianzhen thought the matter was resolved, Zhang Xixi came up and said, "Sister, let's go second and let that stubborn donkey lead the way."

Shi Nianzhen raised an eyebrow and looked at him.

Zhang Xixi's handsome face was full of speechlessness and impatience, but he didn't get angry at all.

Although Zhang Xixi smiles all day long, she is actually not a person with a particularly good temper in private.

Or maybe he's a very double-standard person.

He is particularly tolerant and easy to talk to when it comes to people he approves of, and he is happy to pamper them, such as Shi Nianzhen.

But when it comes to his colleagues and strangers, he just keeps his distance and it is particularly difficult to reason with him, and others have to listen to him.

Obviously, the communication with Huo Xing just now was not so pleasant, but Zhang Xixi gave in.

This is worth pondering.

Huo Xing seemed to be at a disadvantage, but he had Zhang Xixi in his control.

This shows that Zhang Xixi agreed with Huo Xing's suggestion.

Although he might not have reached the point of approving this person, Huo Xing's words won his approval.

Shi Nian really didn't want to cause any trouble on the first day of joining the team, so he had to give up his plan of secretly fighting zombies.

"Sure, brother. Safety is the most important thing."

"I'm fine with wandering around on my own, but if I'm going with you guys, I'd better listen to the professionals."

Shi Nianzhen spoke very sincerely.

Zhang Xixi curled her lips and said, "What professional? If you hadn't been smart enough to follow him, he wouldn't have been able to lead me to you."

Shi Nianzhen smiled and didn't respond.

It wasn't until Huo Xing's car started moving and she followed it that she asked again, "Brother, what's our destination today?"

"Let's go to Shenhai first. There are many ports there. Let's go there to replenish some supplies first." Zhang Xixi winked at her.

Shenhai, one of the top financial centers in China, has eight large ports and countless small ports.

"Well, replenishing imported supplies?" Shi Nianzhen asked, "Domestic supplies can't satisfy your appetite?"

It's not that she is arrogant, but she feels that many food and daily necessities in China are better than those abroad, and the supplies in the city are very abundant.

If you are just looking for supplies, there is no need to go to Shenhai specifically.

Shenhai has a permanent population of nearly 25 million, so there must be a lot of zombies there. Zhang Xixi's team only has about 30 people, so it is quite dangerous to go in.

Unless, Zhang Xixi's space is large enough to carry away the hundreds of millions of tons of materials in the port.

How much space would that require?
It must be enough for several ocean-going ships, right?
Shi Nianzhen didn't even know how many cubic meters that would take.

Is the awakening space of a space ability user so terrifying?
"Brother, you have such a big space."

Shi Nianzhen sighed, looking at Zhang Xixi with eyes full of admiration. With that pretty face, any man would be flattered and immediately brag about the size of his space.

Zhang Xixi glanced at her and curled his eyes. "You're playing tricks on me again. Are you trying to find out how big my space is?"

"No way." Shi Nianzhen smiled shyly.

"Still acting? There's no one here. Stop it. Don't I know you? You look good, but you're actually crazy and clever inside."

Zhang Xixi leaned back in her seat as she spoke, and a box of milk appeared out of thin air in her hand. She inserted a straw and handed it to Shi Nianzhen.

"Drink it. You're trying to be low-key this morning. You just ate a piece of bread, right?"

Shi Nianzhen chuckled twice, took the milk without hesitation, and drank it all in one gulp.

"I have a big appetite now. One piece of bread can only fill me half full."

Shi Nianzhen stuffed the empty box back into Zhang Xixi's hands, operated the steering wheel with one hand, took out a box of self-heating rice and handed it to him, "Help me."

Zhang Xixi took it but didn't move immediately. "How about I drive and you eat in the passenger seat?"

"No, I've only been driving for a few days and I'm really interested."

Shi Nianzhen refused, so Zhang Xixi didn't mention it again. She heated up the self-heating rice and watched Shi Nianzhen drive.

I saw that she was very skilled and could keep up with the car in front with one hand, keeping a constant speed throughout the whole process. She did not have any of the common problems of novices such as losing the accelerator or slamming on the brakes for no reason.

The riding experience can be described as excellent.

"Didn't you sneak onto the road to practice driving before?" Zhang Xixi asked her with a raised eyebrow.

"Who said that? I'm a law-abiding citizen and won't do anything illegal. I'm a complete novice." Shi Nianzhen said.

Minors cannot get a driver's license, and it is illegal to drive without a license.

"But you can't get a driver's license now, so you're driving without a license, right?"

Shi Nianzhen sighed.

"Tell me about the mutant plants."

"The change of topic was so abrupt, it wasn't acting at all." Zhang Xixi laughed.

"Of course not, the main point is sincerity." Shi Nianzhen said jokingly with a smile.

Zhang Xixi didn't bother with her and told her everything about the mutant plants.

"Oh, so there are all sorts of mutated plants. Some have more delicious fruits, some have mutated from ordinary plants to carnivorous ones, some have mutated from food crops to ornamental ones, and some have become longer while others are shorter."

"Correct."

"Can you tell them apart from the outside?"

Now the convoy has driven out of the city, and plants can be seen everywhere on the roadside, as well as many fields.

The Jiangnan area is the main rice-growing area.

It is already mid-October and the rice in the fields has long been ripe, but no one has harvested it and it is still in the fields.

If no one harvests them, once the sunny weather is over and the autumn rain comes, they will probably rot in the ground.

They both said they wanted to harvest the crops in the fields, but the country's annual grain output is terrifying. How could they possibly harvest the crops if they relied on just the two of them?

"Brother, why don't the people above organize people to collect these?" Shi Nianzhen asked.

The smile that always hung on Zhang Xixi's face disappeared, and when he spoke again, his tone was a little serious: "We want to rush to harvest, but we don't have enough manpower."

Shi Nianzhen didn't respond immediately, his mind was racing.

The government holds the people's soldiers in its hands, and it doesn't need all of them, even if it only mobilizes a quarter of them, it can collect grain from all over the place.

They said there was no manpower... Shi Nianzhen's pupils shrank when he thought of something.

"Have many of our troops turned into zombies?" Shi Nianzhen asked.

Zhang Xixi hummed heavily, "The soldiers train every day. The solar eclipse on August 16th was unusually dark, so many troops returned home halfway through training."

"But it was too late. In the middle of the night,..." Zhang Xixi sighed, "Only one in ten survived. We were very short of manpower."

"Whether it's rescue or anything else, there's no manpower available. Even the capital, where rescue arrived the fastest, was in chaos for half a month."

"Not to mention other places." Zhang Xixi said.

"..." Shi Nianzhen pursed her lips.

So the rescue she was waiting for never came.

Because the largest rescue force was almost wiped out.

Shi Nian could really imagine that scene.

How terrifying would it be if a whole camp of soldiers turned into zombies? Their physical fitness was good enough before the apocalypse, so they would definitely be stronger than ordinary people after becoming zombies.

There may be a few lucky ones who have not changed, but facing so many former comrades who have turned into monsters, how much effective counterattack can they organize?

"So the higher-ups have been recalling the surviving veterans," said Zhang Xixi.

Shi Nianzhen suddenly had a flash of inspiration and understood something.

Huo Xing, a retired special forces soldier!

He maintains a very good figure and you can see the traces of years of exercise. A man like him definitely hasn't been out of the army for a long time.

Huo Xing is most likely an official.

Zhang Xixi said he was the captain of this team.

Shi Nianzhen narrowed his eyes and asked slowly, "Brother, did you put together this team on your own, or did you find Huo Xing and have him help you put it together?"

Zhang Xixi glanced at Shi Nianzhen and said meaningfully, "My uncle heard that I was looking for someone to save you, and he recommended Huo Xing to me the next day."

"The team was brought by Huo Xing."

Shi Nianzhen and Zhang Xixi looked at each other.

An exchange of certain information is completed.

Their team should have its own tasks.

Finding the right time to remember the truth should be the least important thing.

"Tsk, I was really touched, but it's a pity that his purpose is not simple at all." Shi Nianzhen said.

"I'm very simple." said Zhang Xixi.

Shi Nian really felt that she might have been tricked.

"Then you guys quarreled like that yesterday?" Shi Nianzhen thought of the quarrel between Zhang Xixi and Huo Xing when they entered the Qin Palace last night.

"Maybe he was in a hurry to complete other tasks, but I just wanted to find you," Zhang Xixi said sincerely, "We knew each other very well, but we were still acting."

"..." Shi Nianzhen chuckled, "Maybe he thinks you don't know, he really thinks you're stupid."

Zhang Xixi also chuckled, his eyes curved like a cunning fox, and he winked at her, "Who knows, my acting is good, isn't it?"

"Well, Oscar owes you a little golden statue."

Zhang Xixi laughed for a while, then stopped laughing: "I am the selfish one. I only want to take care of the people I want to take care of. I don't care whether others live or die."

"His mission should be to keep most people alive."

"People like them have a stronger sense of patriotism."

Zhang Xixi was silent for a while, and her sigh revealed an unspeakable melancholy.

"Who isn't?" Shi Nianzhen said, "Being able to take care of yourself and the people you care about is already amazing."

"You are the best brother in my heart."

"You are the best at coaxing people with your mouth." Zhang Xixi said.

Zhang Xixi's melancholy flashed away, and her usual smile appeared on her face again. She looked at the self-heating rice that was no longer steaming, and opened it to dry.

"How do you want to eat?" Zhang Xixi said, "Isn't it time for someone else to drive?"

"Are you looking down on me, or this car?" Shi Nianzhen glanced at him.

"Huh?" Zhang Xixi asked puzzledly.

"Pepe, turn on automatic driving and follow the car in front." Shi Nianzhen said.

As soon as the words fell, Penelope's childish voice came from the car speakers, "The autonomous driving system has taken over. Please release the steering wheel, accelerator, and brake in sequence."

The next second, Shi Nianzhen felt that the steering wheel under his hand was out of his control.

She let go of her hand, and the steering wheel turned automatically, avoiding the scrapped car parked across the road in front and catching up with Huo Xing's car.

Zhang Xixi was so surprised that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Her voice rose twice, "Even off-road vehicles have automatic driving?"

Shi Nianzhen smiled and spread his hands, "Maybe this is what it means to have money and drive your own car? After all, I stole this from Zhou Qing."

In fact, this car does not have automatic driving. Shi Nianzhen asked Penelope to modify it urgently early in the morning just to have the steering wheel in her own hands.

It cost her five thousand Abyss Coins!
I haven't made any money in the past three days, and I've already spent tens of thousands. Thinking about the upgrades to my portable apartment, I still have a lot of money to spend.

If she doesn't make money, she will be anxious!

Shi Nianzhen freed his hands, filled his stomach, and asked Zhang Xixi if he had any mutant plants.

She wanted to see if the treasure appraiser could identify the value of the mutant plant.

Now she looked at the rice fields outside the window, and the treasure-judgement kept reminding her:

(In the ordinary world, food that can fill one's stomach has some value, but not much. In the apocalypse, it may be as valuable as gold, but in the advanced world, it is worthless.)
Shi Nianzhen wanted to see if the mutant plants would receive higher evaluations.

Zhang Xixi nodded and carefully took out a small glass bottle from the inner pocket of her clothes.

"I found this on the way here."

The bottle was only the size of a thumb and was filled with dry, plump rice seeds, which looked very ordinary at first glance.

After looking carefully for a while, Shi Nianzhen saw the firefly-like words of treasure appraisal in front of his eyes:
(Congratulations, you've discovered a new species in the universe.)
(First-level evolved rice seed, with advantages such as resistance to lodging, jasmine fragrance, and contains supernatural energy, and is of considerable value.)
(Acquisition recommended.)
Shi Nian's true feelings were not revealed on his face, but his heart was in turmoil.

This evaluation is completely different from the previous evaluation of ordinary rice.

Is there such a huge difference between evolution and non-evolution?

The fertilizer from zombie piles can make crops evolve!

Isn’t that the super evolved Jin Ke La?
Raise prices, zombies must raise prices!
156 million for 1.8 kilograms, too cheap!
And this rice is at the first level, does that mean it can continue to evolve?
Level two or three?

Shi Nianzhen suddenly thought of a game - Plants vs. Zombies.

Oh my god, that's a realistic game!
Maybe there are some mutated plants that can really fight against zombies!

Maybe there are some that can eat zombies!

Shi Nianzhen became excited.

The heart beats like a drum.

She took a few deep breaths and said calmly, "It doesn't look any different. Can I have two to try?"

Zhang Xixi snatched it away.

"no!"

"It hasn't been sent for testing yet. Who knows if it's edible? What if it mutates into something poisonous?"

"You're already an adult. Even if you're still growing, you're not allowed to put everything in your mouth!"

"Greedy girl!"

"." Shi Nianzhen looked innocent.

God have mercy on her, she just wanted to cheat two.

She just wants to plant crops in the fields after her portable apartment is upgraded.

Why are you so greedy girl?
