Doomsday Carnival: The Little Monster Only Has a Seven-Second Memory

After passing through various checkpoints and inspections, I successfully obtained the green pass code, which will reduce some procedures when going to other bases in the future.

The official survivor base is indeed more well-equipped; due to the constant acid rain, the base has built many covered corridors.

Pedestrians wearing raincoats hurried out, but they seemed more energetic than the people in the previous town base.

Such spirit is extremely rare in the apocalypse, which shows that life here is stress-free and full of hope, which really surprised them.

Rona received the official raincoat, which was provided by the company. "Wow, it's really thick. Such a good raincoat would probably sell for a high price in other small bases, but they just gave it to us for free here."

Wu Zhe nodded repeatedly, "That's great. Shall we go straight to where we're going to buy things now?"

Gao Lei turned to look at Huo Ling.

Huo Ling was watching Lin Shuangshuang when the little monster who had reset her memories started avoiding him again.

This process is repeated every day.

Lin Shuangshuang didn't dare to look at Huo Ling. In fact, the two of them had kissed yesterday, but she had completely forgotten about it in the evening. Now she was acting all awkward.

I felt a guilty feeling, like I'd been caught red-handed.

How could I not feel guilty?

When she opened her eyes, her boyfriend was right in front of her. Of course, she was happy, but then she felt guilty, since she was the one who had abandoned him.

"Lin Shuangshuang".

Huo Ling suddenly called out to her.

Lin Shuangshuang jumped, taking small steps to the side, "W-what are you doing?"

If she only had a seven-second memory, she might have been overjoyed to see Huo Ling, her small brain filled only with the person she loved. But now, thanks to medication, she can have a full 24-hour memory, which makes her awkwardness last a long time.

It's so embarrassing.

Huo Ling said, "If you keep walking, you'll run into a pillar. Look up and watch where you're going."

He spoke in a calm tone.

Lin Shuangshuang could only glance up at him, then quickly looked away and said, "Oh, okay."

Lorna chuckled and then asked, "Where are we going now?"

Wu Zhe quickly said, "Brother Huo, shall we go straight to buy supplies?!"

Gao Lei waited quietly for a reply.

Huo Ling nodded, "Okay, let's go buy some supplies. Let me see the route."

He was the one who led the way for most of the team.

Lin Shuangshuang stole glances at him from the side, and then secretly tugged at the hem of his clothes.

Huo Ling glanced at her but didn't say anything. "Let's go. Turn left at the intersection ahead and take the bus. It's two kilometers away."

Lorna and the other two were quite surprised. "There are still buses?!" "This base is really well-built." "Looks like the authorities have recovered."

Lin Shuangshuang stayed close to Huo Ling; she was content as long as he was there.

There were other people with superpowers at the bus stop. They glanced at each other, didn't talk much, were a little wary of each other, but none of them meant any harm.

Very normal.

After a little time, the five of them successfully arrived at the place to exchange supplies.

It is a large, round building.

You can redeem it right in the lobby.

Many self-service windows were set up, and people in need lined up to exchange their cards.

Each person selects what they need, pays points, and then the purchased items are put into a space card and handed over to the customer.

This space card functions like a shopping cart. Once you've taken your items out of the garage, you have to return the card to the staff. Each card has an anti-theft code, and it will ring when you leave the base if it's not returned.

Lin Shuangshuang thought it was a good idea, but since her points were currently with Huo Ling, she felt it would be more appropriate to leave it to Huo Ling to manage.

Because it's inconvenient for her to link her account.

The 200,000 points were split equally among the seven people, with each person receiving 28571 points. The remaining small amount was left over and went to Huo Ling.

Luo Na, Wu Zhe, and Gao Lei all bought food without prior arrangement. They were also tempted by other things, but food was the most important thing.

With over 28,000 points, each person can exchange them for 57 jin (28.5 catties) of rice, which is clean, pollution-free, and of good quality.

Luo Na and Wu Zhequan switched to this, since they really couldn't stand not having rice, and rice is especially filling and tastes better than compressed biscuits.

Gao Lei exchanged half of his points for flour and half for seasonings, intending to use them for the team and not to buy any personal items.

Huo Ling understood what they meant as soon as he heard what they bought.

The three of them seemed to be having a good time.

Luo Na said, "Oh dear, Brother Zhao and Brother Zhang used all their money to buy supplies. The spare parts are for repairing the small castle, and we'll use the medicine in the end. How can we not think of everyone? With so few points, we'll definitely prioritize filling our stomachs. We'll only feel at ease if we have surplus food at home!"

Wu Zhe also said, "Exactly, life without rice isn't life!"

Gao Lei mimicked him, "Life without flour isn't life at all. But since you two didn't buy any seasonings, how can the dishes taste good? Luckily, I bought some."

The younger children can finally showcase their culinary skills, but the food is indeed very expensive.

Huo Ling held Lin Shuangshuang and his own points in his hand. He took Lin Shuangshuang with him and asked her, "What do you want to buy?"

Lin Shuangshuang glanced at the screen; all sorts of things were crammed onto the homepage, including rice, flour, and medicine—these were all best-selling items.

If you need something else, switch categories or search.

She pointed to the fresh meat, "Buy this! There's no fresh meat in the warehouse."

They're all canned goods.

They've run out of frozen beef and pork; they've been eating canned food lately.

While Lin Shuangshuang was thinking, Huo Ling had already bought everything that Zhao Pingsheng and Zhang Dapeng had asked him to do, and then bought the fresh meat that Lin Shuangshuang wanted.

These points can be used to purchase 15 jin of chicken, 5 jin of pork, and 2 jin of beef.

He used his points to buy rice and some ingredients for making desserts.

As expected, food is the most important thing for people. Most of the points were exchanged for food, mainly because the points were not enough to buy weapons or better items.

As for weapons, they have a mechanic in their team, Zhang Dapeng can make them, and as for medicine, Zhao Pingsheng can mix the best medicine at the lowest cost. So after looking around, buying food is still the most reliable option.

After confirming the purchase, a card popped up from the self-service purchase window.

Huo Ling retrieved the card, checked the bill, and found that there were only 0.2 points left in the linked account. Not bad, the whole process went very smoothly.

Moreover, there is virtually no contact with staff. Except for the check required when entering the city, everything else relies entirely on AI, which is indeed convenient.

After they finished shopping, they strolled around the base and later learned that the base was divided into inner and outer rings. The outer ring provided convenient services for residents, while the inner ring was the living area.

If they wanted to enter the residential area, they would need to undergo a more stringent review process. Since they had no intention of going in for the time being, they left after buying their things.

The process of leaving was very smooth; once the space card was emptied and returned, the journey was completed without any problems.

The supplies were all stored inside the vehicle.

Lin Shuangshuang thought the official approach was excellent; it could appease the superhumans in civilian organizations, speed up the rescue efforts, and reunite people's hearts.
