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

Chapter 72: Death is the worst

"Psycho." Lu Li muttered and blacklisted the account. She was not stupid and she would never do such a completely altruistic thing.

After picking and choosing and replying to a few private messages and comments, Lu Li washed her face and went downstairs.

There was still no one outside the base, and it was very quiet. This was unlike the Huakai Base, which was near an urban village with residents.

The area around here is all overgrown with weeds. Apart from the tall walls, there are no buildings or even a single person in sight.

If it wants to have customers, it can only rely on the residents in the nut base, but it is strictly forbidden to go out today!
What a sin!

Lu Li went to the convenience store to get some snacks and brought them back to the RV. She propped her chin up and ate while watching the TV series in her mind.

In this way, it was evening, and when night fell, Lu Li was about to close the stall and put one hand on the table.

This hand is really ugly. The whole hand is gray, and yellow mud is seeping out from the nail crevices and lines.

It was as if she had been buried for three days and three nights and had dug a hundred pounds of soil. Lu Li was startled and took a step back.

He asked sharply, "Who?"

A plain face slowly appeared, and then a face with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks appeared next to it.

The two faces looked particularly... discordant and abrupt in the dimly lit place.

Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief. At least it was a human being. She asked, "Is there anything wrong?" She was also a little excited.

After all, it’s been a day, and it’s the first time I meet a stranger, so you can imagine how I feel!

"Buy a scratch ticket!" the simple customer lowered his voice. Lu Li didn't hear it clearly and asked again.

"What, why don't you two stand up and talk? Aren't you tired of squatting?" Lu Li's voice was quite loud, otherwise it would not be possible because of this binding system.

The two customers waved their hands hurriedly and looked towards the direction of the nut base gate in panic, feeling quite guilty.

They squatted on the ground and moved carefully along the body of the car, changing from facing the base with their backs to facing the base, feeling a little safer.

Shikali followed them around and asked again, "Are you here to scratch the lottery? Is it necessary to be so... cautious?"

In fact, it means that a thief is always guilty, just like someone who is afraid of being discovered when stealing someone.

The simple customer nodded repeatedly and said excitedly, "Yes, yes, scratch tickets. Boss, please help us get one."

At the same time, he also took out a few crystal cores and checked them: "Is it one by one?"

"Yes." Lu Li took a few scratch-off lottery tickets and let them choose at will, and took two crystal cores and kept them.

When the two customers saw the scratch tickets, their eyes lit up instantly. They picked up one at random and started scratching it with excitement.

Since they had to shave, squatting would be a bit uncomfortable, so they lay on the table and started shaving!
Seeing that they were immersed in the scratch lottery and relaxed their vigilance, Lu Li took the opportunity to ask: "Are you from the Nut Base?"

"Yes, yes." The sharp-mouthed customer said subconsciously.

"What happened at the base today? Why didn't anyone come out?" Lu Li asked in a coaxing manner.

Speaking of this simple customer, he became very annoyed. He didn't even scratch the ticket, but stood up and started cursing.

"There was a rumor this morning that you, the boss, were operating outside the Nut Base, so a few of us wanted to come out, but we were locked in the base for a whole day!"

He was so angry that veins popped out on the back of his hands, and it felt like he was about to break the little golden shovel.

Lu Li quickly comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. You're out now, are you allowed in at night?"

The sharp-tongued customer then cursed: "What? It's a small hole left by our ancestors. We dug it out after a long time! Look at our hands!"

As they spoke, they both stretched out their hands at the same time, with the backs of their hands facing upwards, and every crack was filled with dust and dirt...

Just as Lu Li thought, he had dug up a hundred kilograms of soil... But he also felt a sense of accomplishment. Some people would go to such lengths for a scratch card. Sure enough, the temptation of food is quite great.

Lu Li poured a glass of water for each of them, and the two were so moved that they burst into tears.

But I didn't dare to pick up the water cup with my hands that had been digging in the soil all afternoon. I wanted to wipe my hands on my clothes, but when I looked down, my clothes were even dirtier...

Lu Li turned around and took two straws, "Drink it, you're welcome."

The two were even more moved, and even though the first card was all about thanking you for your patronage, it did not affect their enthusiasm at all.

"Boss, just wait, the main force will be here soon." said the sharp-mouthed customer.

Just as Lu Li was about to ask something, he heard someone calling "boss" from behind and turned around to look.

My goodness, that side is packed with people, about twenty or thirty of them, all of them ran out of the small hole?
"Coming, coming." Lu Li walked over with a smile on his face.

Zhan Ting and Xiao Di also became busy. The convenience store over there was originally planning to close, but unexpectedly so many customers suddenly appeared and turned on the lights again.

As soon as they saw Lu Li, they greeted her in a flurry as if they were meeting a relative.

"Hello, Boss Lu!"

Lu Li had a smile on her face, with deep dimples on her lips, and she tried her best to respond one by one.

Listening to them complain about this nut base, the anger on their faces didn't seem fake.

While greeting them and listening, Lu Li roughly understood what was happening.

At 8:40 this morning, the base suddenly issued a notice, closing the gates and prohibiting everyone from going out.

The residents who wanted to go out to kill zombies, complete tasks, and scratch cards were immediately locked up in the base.

The outcome of this would of course be a riot. Why aren't people allowed to leave the base? Who's responsible if the mission exceeds the deadline?

Who is responsible if we can't kill zombies, get crystal cores, or afford food? No one responded.

Only the tightly closed and heavy door silently responded to the residents.

No matter how angry they were, there was nothing they could do. The base commander was the most powerful person in the base and everyone had to listen to him.

They even reinforced the patrolling guards to guard the four gates in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, and did not allow anyone to be released.

It was not until nightfall that the patrols relaxed a little, and the small hole that had been dug for an afternoon was finally completed.

Look, after thinking about scratch cards all day, they rushed over as soon as they got out of the base.

After listening to this, Lu Li was speechless for a long time. Could this be the result of the cooperation between Liu Hongtao and the nut base?
Cut off the source of customers at the very root and prevent her from making money. Wow, it really works...

But Lu Li looked at the customers who were surrounding the RV in three layers inside and outside, and there were customers running towards them in twos and threes in the distance.

The base worked hard to impose martial law for a day, but collapsed at night.

They were also extremely careful, trying to keep their movements and volume as light as possible so as not to be spotted by the searchlights of the base a hundred meters away.

It was past midnight and Lu Li yawned for the fifth time, but all the customers were still scraping with great interest.

She didn't want to spoil the fun either. After all, she had been holding it in for the entire day and finally found the opportunity, so she had to enjoy it to the fullest.

Lu Li couldn't help but think of Liu Hongtao. How angry and embarrassed would he be if he knew that the plan had failed?
Just thinking about it, Lu Li couldn't help laughing out loud. It was so cool! It made me sober up.

Lu Li asked the simple customer and the sharp-tongued customer at the beginning, "What will happen if we are discovered?"

They didn't care at all, "Tsk, at most we'll die."
