HCB Chapter 273 The Night Comer
Chapter 273 The Night Comer
At two o'clock in the afternoon, after Caesar left, the supermarket became quiet again.
Jiang Wanwan continued to sit in front of the cashier, waiting for new customers to arrive.
And this wait lasted for three or four hours, until dark, and there was no movement outside.
During this period, when Jiang Wanwan had nothing to do, she took out another zombie crystal core and absorbed it.
After all, if you play with your phone for too long, it becomes boring.
As six o'clock arrived, the sky outside became completely dark, and Jiang Wanwan got up and closed the supermarket door.
She had already seen what the Zerg looked like yesterday, and she didn't want to see it again today.
Sitting back down in front of the cashier, Jiang Wanwan casually took out two buns from the system grid as dinner and ate them without much interest.
In my mind, I was worried about the current situation of the supermarket!
It’s been two days since Jiang Wanwan came to this new world, but she hasn’t met the second guest yet. This is the first time for her.
Speaking of which, although Jiang Wanwan has never studied sales formally, she has heard of various sales methods in this modern era of information explosion.
If the supermarket is located in a busy city, she can always find a way to attract people in, and after introducing the products, they will naturally become customers of the supermarket.
But now, there is not even a single person to be seen where the supermarket is located. Even if Jiang Wanwan has any ideas, she has no place to put them into practice!
But just waiting like this is not a solution. Who knows how long we have to wait?
Just wait a few more days, her parents on Earth will be here soon!
So if you want to upgrade the supermarket as quickly as possible, the final decision still falls on Caesar.
The quantity required for the supermarket upgrade is quite large, and it is definitely unrealistic for Caesar to purchase it alone.
Therefore, we still need Xi Ze to help introduce customers!
Otherwise, use the plant that Xize wants most as bait. After all, you have to strike the snake at its most vulnerable part!
Just say, how much goods must be sold before plants can be put on the shelves for sale?
No, this statement is too blunt and sounds like intimidation. It would be better to use bribery instead.
Just say you can help introduce a customer and sell him a plant in advance, or just give him a plant directly?
Fine!
If there are no new customers tomorrow, then tell Caesar this!
Jiang Wanwan made a decision secretly, and while thinking, she had unknowingly finished the two buns in her hand.
She stood up and walked around a few times to digest the food, then went back to her room to wash up.
After Jiang Wanwan finished all the trivial matters, she lay on the bed and continued playing with her mobile phone.
After all, in the current situation, there is nothing else to do to pass the time.
However, it was almost seven o'clock at this moment.
At this time yesterday, the Zerg came out in full force and launched a fierce attack outside the supermarket!
Today, apart from the occasional rustling sound outside the door, there was not much movement.
It seems that the reason why so many Zergs were attracted here yesterday was probably because of the light coming from the open supermarket.
After all, insects are attracted to light, and these insects that have grown countless times larger must be no exception!
Now it’s better this way!
You know, although the bugs’ persistent attacks couldn’t break the supermarket’s defenses, the noise was real.
Today, Jiang Wanwan still plans to play with her phone until nine o'clock and then go to bed.
In fact, on weekdays when she was on Earth, she usually went to bed at ten o'clock.
But the environment in this alien world is simple and there is nothing fun to do, so I can only rest early.
However, such a plan was eventually disrupted due to some unexpected events.
A few minutes after eight o'clock, Jiang Wanwan, who was lying on the bed watching short videos, suddenly heard some movement outside!
At first, there were just a few sudden knocks.
Jiang Wanwan thought that a Zerg was passing by and accidentally touched it, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
However, the knocking sound continued, and it seemed that there was also a faint sound of shouting.
Screaming? Could it be human?
Afraid that she had misheard, Jiang Wanwan turned off the sound of the short video and listened again.
"... bang bang bang... there's... please help... with the door..."
Without the noise of the cell phone, Jiang Wanwan could hear clearly this time and found that someone was indeed talking.
So, was that knocking sound just now someone knocking on the door? No wonder it was so rhythmic!
However, the Zerg are rampant on the battlefield, and Caesar said that the soldiers will leave before dark!
What's going on with the person knocking on the door now?
A soldier who was accidentally stuck on the battlefield and couldn't leave in time? Or a wanted criminal pirate?
Jiang Wanwan was confused in her mind, but she stood up actively, left the room, turned on the light and opened the door.
As for what to do if the person outside the door is a bad guy?
It doesn’t matter, the supermarket will crack down on all improper behavior!
If he happens to be a good person, then he is a guest who comes to your door!
After all, anyone who can persist in the battlefield after dark until now must be an extraordinary person.
It was also their good luck that they knocked on the door at this time.
If it was an hour later, by the time Jiang Wanwan entered into meditation, she would be in a deep sleep and would not be awakened by the shouting outside the door.
Standing inside the supermarket, with only a door between us, the sounds outside became clearer and clearer.
Jiang Wanwan even heard more than one voice talking, so there were several people outside?
To be on the safe side, Jiang Wanwan deliberately took a step back and stood a long step away from the edge of the protective shield before reaching out to open the supermarket door.
As the supermarket door slowly opened, the bright light inside the supermarket quickly extended outward, illuminating the scene outside the door.
The first thing that caught my eye was a tall figure with somewhat dirty clothes standing in front of the door.
He was raising his hand, as if to knock on the door, with an anxious look on his face. He was stunned for a moment because the door suddenly opened.
When he noticed the scene he had been looking forward to the most, his face suddenly showed ecstasy, and he didn't even have time to pay attention to Jiang Wanwan who opened the door.
He turned around anxiously and shouted, "The door is open, come here quickly!"
Then he turned back to look at Jiang Wanwan and explained anxiously.
"We're truly sorry, but we're not bad people. We're soldiers from the First Legion. We were stranded on the battlefield due to some unexpected circumstances and were accidentally discovered by the Zerg. We're forced to disturb you. Please take us in temporarily. We'll reward you handsomely later!"
As he spoke, the scene of fierce fighting behind him also appeared in Jiang Wanwan's eyes.
In the darkness, more Zergs than last night were swarming towards this side.
In front of these Zergs, there were five tall figures and a "tall" figure, who were trying their best to block the Zergs' advance.
The word "tall" in front here is an adjective, which means a person with tall stature.
The "tall" at the end is a realistic word, referring to a tall figure of four or five meters.
Even in dim light, you can still see its reflective metal texture, smooth technological lines, and flexible flipping movements.
This is……
