While others are struggling to survive and slaying zombies in the apocalypse, I'm hoarding supp

Luo Ning's expression remained unchanged, but the oppressive feeling emanating from him grew stronger.

The people around dared not make a sound, and even Wang Hu, who disliked Luo Ning the most, shrank back like a quail.

Xiao Helin's body was tense, but he still didn't loosen his grip.

If he gives in today, she can take whatever she wants from his base in the future.

She gets whatever she wants.

Just like he said, know when to stop.

He gave her face, but she couldn't push her luck.

A bespectacled man behind Xiao Helin leaned close to Xiao Helin's ear and whispered a few words.

After hearing this, Xiao Helin glanced at Luo Ning and then nodded.

The man's name was Zhao Li, and he was Xiao Helin's secretary before the apocalypse.

After the apocalypse, he also worked with Xiao Helin to handle various matters. He and Wang Hu were considered Xiao Helin's right-hand men.

Zhao Li respectfully said to Luo Ning, "Miss Luo, it's no problem if you want to open a shop in our base. We welcome you to join our base."

But as you know, every inch of safe land in the apocalypse is worth a fortune. Many people in our base are without housing, and you're not one of our people. If we give you a shop for free, it would be difficult for our boss and the others to explain it to us.”

Zhao Li's words were veiled, but Luo Ning still understood that it wouldn't be easy for her to get a shop here for free today.

"What do you suggest we do? I'm not the kind of person who doesn't understand manners; I'm not going to take your shop for nothing."

Luo Ning softened his attitude and smiled exceptionally kindly.

Xiao Helin's lips twitched. Before and after the apocalypse, he had never seen such a shameless person.

123 asked in confusion, "Host, didn't we say we were going to conquer them with our strength?"

Luo Ning mentally feigned maturity and said, "123, although we are very strong, you still need to work on your language skills."

Sure enough, as soon as Luo Ning softened his attitude, Zhao Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and even Xiao Helin relaxed a little.

At Xiao Helin's prompting, Zhao Li spoke to Luo Ning.

"Miss Luo, it would be difficult for our boss to explain to outsiders if we gave you an outsider for free. However, if you were one of our base's employees, with your abilities, you would fully meet our base's talent recruitment criteria. In that case, the boss would give you a shop as a reward."

Xiao Helin nodded, staring intently at Luo Ning. This was the biggest concession he could make.

If she insists on a head-on confrontation, he will not back down.

"Host, they're going too far! They actually wanted you to come to their base. Who wants this lousy base? Isn't it better to stay at our own home?"

123 was indignant. The host said that once it leveled up again, it would take them and their family on a trip, instead of staying in this lousy base forever.

Luo Ning reassured it, "Don't worry, I don't even go to the official base, why would I stay here?"

Although the conditions at private bases are better than at official bases, the security at official bases is much higher.

What's most important in the apocalypse? Safety!

If she wanted to enter the base, why didn't she choose the official base?

"Boss Xiao, as you probably know, I live alone outside because I don't want to go into the base. I have social anxiety and don't like crowded places."

"Miss Luo, you don't need to join the base, but you can join our Helin Base by residing there, just like the small teams in our base."

"Normally, the base doesn't monitor their whereabouts, but when the base faces danger, everyone needs to follow the orders of our base commander and work together to deal with the danger," Zhao Li explained.

Xiao Helin spoke up, "Those small teams that want to join our base need to pay a fee, and they also need to hand over a portion of the supplies they collect each time they go out. I haven't asked you to pay anything."

It means that when the base encounters a major danger, you will be needed to step in and resolve it.

I've already conceded several steps, and Miss Luo should also compromise a bit and not be too forceful.

123 asked anxiously, "Host, what should we do now? Should we agree to their request?"

Luo Ning was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"Boss Xiao, don't be nervous. I've already opened a shop in your base, so I'm also a part of your base. After all, only when the base is doing well can I do well, right?"

"If the Helin Base encounters any danger in the future, I will definitely go without hesitation and stand with the base through thick and thin."

Luo Ning's words were well said, and Xiao Helin's expression improved.

Anyway, what he wanted was to be on the same side as her.

"Since Miss Luo is so agreeable, I won't say any more. On behalf of Helin Base, I welcome Miss Luo to our new location."

Luo Ning reached out his hand, and the two shook hands, both smiling with satisfaction.

"It's a pleasure working with you!"

Luo Ning was also happy. He could get a shop without spending a single crystal core. This business seemed like a great deal.

As for what they said about needing her to intervene if the base encounters danger in the future.

That's not impossible, after all, she still has a shop here, saving them is the same as saving her own shop.

Besides, this is just a verbal promise; how she actually does it is up to her.

For a qualified capitalist, it's just a matter of making empty promises; it's simple.

Xiao Helin was also very satisfied with Luoning's move in.

His base may look strong, but in reality, its ability to cope with risks is far inferior to that of official bases.

Therefore, he needs to recruit more capable people to join him, as a larger team will increase his ability to cope with risks.

Luo Ning is a very good choice, not only because she is very strong.

Moreover, her abundant resources can attract more talent to the base.

He's already thinking about what kind of GG words to use when recruiting people in the future.

The two looked at each other and smiled, each seeing something valuable in the other.

"Miss Luo, since neither of us has any objections, how about we sign a contract?"

Xiao Helin wasn't stupid; anyone could talk a good game. After all, he was the original capitalist.

Luo Ning smiled at Xiao Helin, knowing he wasn't so easily fooled, but he forgot one thing.

This is the end times; contracts can only bind gentlemen, not scoundrels.

Unfortunately, she wasn't a gentleman.

"That's no problem, but shouldn't Boss Xiao take me to see the shop first?"

She wouldn't agree to a shop of just over ten square meters if Xiao Helin only offered her that.

Xiao Helin smiled and said, "Miss Luo, please."

Luo Ning followed Xiao Helin to a four-story detached building, in the style of an ancient building.

The first floor has two entrances and exits, and there is a staircase next to the house leading to the second floor. The third floor is a large single-level floor, and there are two independent attics on the left and right sides of the fourth floor, with a small courtyard in the middle.

Now, with a silver-gray polymer coating applied to the outside, it looks like it's been given an extra filter against the backdrop of a dark, desolate place in the distance.

Luo Ning took a liking to this place almost at first sight; Xiao Helin certainly didn't just find some random small shop to fool her.

"Miss Luo, this building was my private property before the apocalypse, and now I'm giving it to you."

Xiao Helin's gifting of this building to Luo Ning was also a demonstration of his determination. Aside from Luo Ning's strength and the terrace, he was genuinely interested in her as a person.
