Chapter 15 Hope Base
He said respectfully to the man behind him: "That's it. I'll trouble you to move your fingers later."

The man didn't respond, but just stood there, his momentum evident.

Chen Zhi and his group were still squatting on the ground, discussing something around a piece of paper, completely unaware of the arrival of the base commander behind them, until the navigation expert was ruthlessly knocked to the ground.

Everyone turned around and saw that it was the base commander. They quickly stood up and said in a panic, "Hello, base commander."

Normally, we only see the base commander once a year, and can only see him from afar during large events. Now that he is in front of us, everyone is a little at a loss.

Zhao Haiting was too lazy to waste time talking to them and asked directly, "Where is the woman who was selling scratch tickets here a few days ago?"

Chen Zhi silently took a step back and stepped on the piece of paper without making a sound. He looked at the others and shook his head.

He said, "I don't know. I didn't see it when I came here today."

They all subconsciously didn't want the base commander to know where their boss had gone. After all, they had a conflict a few days ago, and the base commander was narrow-minded and might be here to cause trouble.

Zhao Haiting glanced at the few people with his eagle eyes, and stopped when he didn't see anything unusual.

He turned around and strode back. As he approached the man, he became respectful and a little humble, saying, "I'm really sorry, that man is not here today. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will definitely ..."

Before he finished speaking, the man spoke, "Who is that person, the girl who drives an RV and sells scratch tickets?" He deliberately lowered his voice, but it sounded very familiar.

Zhao Haiting nodded repeatedly, "That's right..."

He had just nodded halfway when his whole body froze instantly. He still maintained that fawning smile, and the wrinkles on his face were clearly visible.

It became a human-shaped ice sculpture.

Shen Bing said impatiently: "Who gave you the courage to cause trouble for Boss Lu?" She won't die. I haven't played enough scratch cards.

Chen Zhi and the others also stood there in a daze, staring blankly. After a long while, someone screamed, "It's Shen Bing! The ice sculpture maker!"

Shen Bing looked at them. Even the upper half of her face was not exposed, only a part of her jaw was visible. However, they were still scared out of their wits and they suddenly scattered like a flock of frightened birds.

He walked around the ice sculpture of Zhao Haiting and slowly came to where the RV had parked yesterday. Only a piece of paper was left.

Shen Bing bent down to pick it up and looked at the words on it with resentment in her eyes.

Soon, the paper froze, broke into even pieces of ice, and fell to the ground.

And he disappeared from everyone's sight at an extremely fast speed.

Of course, these people were Chen Zhi and his gang who had been frightened by him just now. They gathered together again and planned to set off later.

Hope base.

When Lu Li opened her eyes in the morning, the RV was already parked safely at the gate of the base, and there was a lot of noisy noise outside.

She glanced at the time. It was seven in the morning. She couldn't help but wonder, did everyone get up so early in the apocalypse? She then turned on the light screen to see the driving time and trajectory of the RV.

The car started driving unmanned after she fell asleep, and it took five hours to reach the Hope Base. It was quite far, and most importantly, there were various obstacles on the road which delayed the time.

She opened a crack in the curtains and squinted to look outside. This place was much more lively than the freshman base, with nearly a hundred thousand permanent residents alone.

How can it be compared with the 10,000 people in the new base? Relatively speaking, the area is also much larger.

There were even stalls at the entrance of the Hope Base. She looked around carefully and saw people selling tattered clothes and tattered shoes. They all looked like second-hand goods, some even third or fourth hand.

But she looked around and saw that there was no one selling food and water. It seemed that these two items were really precious. Lu Li first bought a small whiteboard in the mall, and then bought a black marker and a blackboard eraser.

She took a pen and wrote on it: Scratch cards, one first-level crystal core for each card. As long as you scratch enough, you can scratch out everything you want!
Her handwriting is not elegant, which is somewhat inconsistent with her appearance. It is the kind of font that is cute and easy to recognize.

The scratch tickets I bought yesterday are sold out again, so Lu Li placed an order for 10 Big 7s and 5 each of the other three types.

If I sell all 25 books today, I will get another points, which is a huge sum of money!
Lu Li was full of fighting spirit, thinking that there were so many people in the base that 25 books might not be enough to sell.

The scene of the scratch tickets being sold out appeared in her mind, and Lu Li couldn't help laughing out loud.

The little deer was busy eating food. When he heard the strange laughter, he looked up in confusion and shook his head gently. He said, "I don't understand the human world..."

After Lu Li finished cleaning up, she pulled down the baffle and prepared to start business, placing a small white board in the most conspicuous position.

Then put out the lucky cat and two of each of the four types of scratch tickets. When everything is ready, take out a big speaker.

Record what you are about to shout, "Scratch-off tickets, scratch-off tickets, scratch one and you will get happiness!"

"Not only can you scrape out crystal cores, you can also scrape out food, fruits, vegetables, various weapons and daily necessities."

"A first-level crystal core is worth every penny. Don't you want to become rich overnight and enjoy delicious food?"

The tempting words came out of the loudspeaker and turned into a somewhat mechanical sound, echoing at the entrance of the base.

Someone walked out of the base and was stunned when he heard this. Then he smiled contemptuously and joked with the people next to him.

"What era is it now? Are there still people who believe in this kind of nonsense?"

"What do you mean by scraping out food? Anyone who believes this is the world's biggest idiot!"

A few people passed by the RV, chatting and laughing, and they were not surprised by this brand new car.

The base commander of Hope Base uses an RV as his means of transportation, but it is much older than this man's.

Seeing someone passing by, Shikagawa put on a warm smile and waved at them, "Hey, do you want a scratch card?"

As a result, those people left without looking back, and didn't even bother to give her a glance.

This was the first time Lu Li was rejected, but she became interested. She always gets more courageous after setbacks and continued to greet passers-by.

Some people went forward to take a look, but turned around and left. Most of them didn't even look at them and hurried off to kill the zombies.

There are also quite a lot of scammers in the apocalypse. For things like this that require paying a crystal core and may not necessarily yield anything in return, it’s best to do as little as possible.

Lu Li found it strange. No one was interested in scratch tickets, a new type of drug?
Or are the people in the big base well-informed and already have plenty of food, so they don't care about this at all?
She didn't believe it, so she supported herself on the table with both hands, jumped down from the high stool, and prepared to pick up the megaphone and start shouting.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, with a signature black cloak and a delicate jawline.

Without even thinking, she blurted out, "Shen Bing, why are you here?"

Shen Bing didn't even raise her head and said calmly, "Let's scratch the lottery."

Lu Lihan felt a little guilty for some reason, "I will be back tomorrow, there is no need to chase after me, right?"
