Chapter 32: A grocery store

Yao Shuang was also very nervous when she heard the news. "Were they killed by zombies? My younger brother is in the Wasteland Reclaimers Army, so I know a little about it. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a big commotion…There are rumors that zombies have entered the city. Don't go out. With our strength, we won't be able to withstand a slap from the zombies."

Xu Ying knew that she was scared, so she comforted her, "It's fine if you don't go out. By the way, how's the selection of tenants for the two one-bedroom and one-living rooms going?"

Yao Shuang's attention was diverted and she was no longer as frightened as before. She quickly got into work mode. "There are quite a lot of applicants. I've confirmed two for the time being. They're a military couple. I'm very polite when I call them. The conversation felt good. I haven't decided on the other one yet. Hua Haiyi came to me once and told me that he has a friend's son who's getting married soon. He's a nice guy, and his fiancée's family are engineers who are working in the construction of our base. "Then, she thought of something and lowered her voice. I don't think the one he introduced to me is very good. I called them and heard them arguing. The woman doesn't sound like a reasonable person, and the man doesn't speak well either."

Xu Ying's mind immediately rang with alarm bells. This Hua Haiyi recognized her and knew that she had a grudge against the Xu family, so he bypassed her and came to find Yao Shuang privately? Her face turned serious. "You did the right thing. Don't believe anyone who tells you that they're good. You have to go and see for yourself before you judge. Also, ignore those gifts. Tell me what you like and I'll buy it for you."

Hearing this, Yao Shuang felt warm all over. She happily continued with the screening.

Xu Ying had another thought in her mind. She couldn't keep Hua Haiyi alive.

Two days later, the four tenants for the one-bedroom apartment were finalized. One was a military couple, and the other was a newlywed couple who worked in the Food and Drug Administration. They all looked friendly.

Yao Shuang had already checked in the four of them, introduced them to the Peach Blossom Land, and emphasized the convention.

Both parties were very satisfied, especially when they saw the exquisitely decorated room. They all took photos and showed off in their own circles, causing everyone to be envious.

Xu Changkai was one of them.

"Dad, didn't you say that you have a friend in Peach Blossom Land who can get in touch with the landlord? We're not here this time. Why? Not enough gifts? Dad, think of something else. Otherwise, Xiao Mei and I will lose. Do you want me to be alone?"

"Forget it." Xu Yongzhong smoked silently. "We can find a good house in the Vermilion Bird Base if we spend more money."

"Dad," Xu Changkai widened his eyes and said, "Zombies have infiltrated the Vermilion Bird Base. How can it compare to the impregnable Peach Blossom Land? Besides, it's not like you haven't seen the photos that were sent out. Not to mention Vermilion Bird Base, even in other bases, how can you find such a well-decorated house?"

Xu Yongzhong lost his patience. "Then what do you want? Are you forcing your father to die? If I had the f*cking ability, why would I need to go through so much effort? Sons are just like debt collectors! If you have the ability, go with your biological mother and let your mother bring you into the Peach Blossom Land. Get lost. Don't let me see you for the time being."

Xu Changkai slammed the door and left.

Xu Yongzhong lay weakly on the sofa. In the end, he made a call. "Hai Yi, although I don't believe what you said, can you let me see her?"

..

After renting out two one-bedroom apartments, Xu Ying's total assets had reached 200,000 gold coins. For a moment, she did not know how to spend the money. However, she quickly realized that upgrading the system to level 4 required 200,000 gold coins. Moreover, the total number of rooms needed to reach 50, which also required money. Therefore, money was never too much.

In addition, there was also the newly unlocked daily necessities store as a reward for leveling up. The things inside made Xu Ying very tempted.

Basically, she had seen all the daily necessities that people needed before the apocalypse on the Internet. Shampoos, shower gel, sanitary pads, and even skin care products, cosmetics, and so on. Or would it be like a food store, where a variety of products were sold at the same time through vending machines? Moreover, they were not expensive. A pack of sanitary pads was only 50 to 60 gold coins. The tenants who could live here could afford it. However, if it was outside the Peach Blossom Land, they might not be able to buy it even if they spent money.

Xu Ying took a fancy to a female product vending machine at first glance. There were more than ten types of sanitary pads inside. She had never used a sanitary pad in her life. She usually used a washable cloth belt to make do. She ordered three sets. One was stuffed into her bathroom, and the other two were in the public area for a long time, but there was no place to put them. Hence, she spent 1000 gold coins to book a single room and set it up as a grocery store.
