Chapter 103: Rush Buying (Second Update)
Shen Qiu immediately followed Uncle Li, and the two of them walked towards the outside of the community.
"Uncle Li, you seem to be over sixty this year."
Shen Qiu suddenly remembered and asked.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"You're over your age, can you drive it?" "
As you said, I'm very strong. I've been driving heavy trucks for decades, why can't I drive it?" "Okay,
but , Why did you suddenly think of driving this heavy truck?" "
Then this one asked me for help, and the other one also asked me for help. This damn charm of mine! It's too powerful, and there's nothing I can do about it!" "Wait a minute
. , are many people looking for you? Could it be those dancing partners in the square?" "
Ahem, what are you talking about? They are all neighbors."
The uncle coughed awkwardly.
"Aren't you afraid that your wife will find out?"
"Shh, Xiaoqiu, don't say anything."
"Okay, okay."
Shen Qiu also didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Not long after, they came to the street, where an eight-meter-long heavy truck was parked.
Uncle Li quickly climbed into the driver's seat, and Shen Qiu also climbed into the passenger seat.
Soon the car started quickly and drove forward.
At this time, other residents in the community were driving cars, followed by small electric donkeys, forming a convoy and moving forward in a mighty manner.
"Where are we going?"
Shen Qiu asked Uncle Li curiously.
"Go to the colorful square nearby. There is a material sales point set up by the City of Clear Sky over there. That sales point is the largest nearby."
Uncle Li explained.
Shen Qiu nodded slightly, and then looked out at the street.
As a result, he found that people from his neighborhood were not the only ones rushing to the colorful square. The streets were filled with cars and people.
The situation seems to be more serious than imagined.
"Uncle Li, do you know what happened? Who did you listen to that we were going to run out of supplies?" "
Oh, who else did you need to listen to? We can no longer buy supplies in the Eighth Administrative District. I heard that there will be no supplies. There is also a problem in the Seventh Administrative District. And some people say that the City of Clear Sky is hiding the disaster. I heard that many people died in many places, and it is almost out of control." Uncle Li said with great emotion
.
"Yes, I understand."
Shen Qiu touched his forehead, not knowing what to say.
Half an hour later, Shen Qiu and the others finally arrived at Colorful Square. The scene in front of him made his heart suddenly sink.
I saw a simple warehouse set up in Colorful Plaza, with boxes of basic materials inside for people to purchase freely!
Heavily armed soldiers guarded this material sales point.
Under normal circumstances, this supply point can easily accommodate thousands of people purchasing at the same time. But looking at the crowds of people at the scene, at least 100,000, it was seriously overloaded.
"Don't be crowded, don't panic! There are plenty of supplies, enough for everyone to purchase."
The official in charge of the supply point kept shouting with a loudspeaker, trying his best to comfort.
Unfortunately, it was of no use. Groups of people kept pushing in for fear of being late.
Shen Qiu and Uncle Li got out of the car.
Other people in the community gathered over, and Uncle Li said to everyone.
"Everyone gather together and go in together. You can still buy things now, but when more people come later, you probably won't be able to buy them. And even if you do buy them, they'll probably be overpriced." "Understood!" "Let's
go
! "Uncle Li waved his hand and took the lead to squeeze in.
Shen Qiu followed helplessly, but not to mention, there is strength in numbers.
They squeezed to the entrance quite smoothly and rushed in smoothly.
However, after entering, Shen Qiu raised his eyebrows. He found that at this supply point, the boxes of supplies outside were actually being watched and not allowed to be taken.
Almost all the supplies inside have been robbed, and there isn't much left.
So Shen Qiu and others immediately took action, pushing the shopping cart and running towards the rice and noodles storage area.
When the results came near, I found that there were not many bags left. Moreover, many people started to fight over the remaining bags of rice and noodles, making them red-faced and red-faced.
Shen Qiu didn't bother to look more. He pushed the cart to the side, looking for anything else that had slipped through the net.
Soon he saw the meat section and a few remaining large cured hams. He took them all out and threw them into the car.
There is a reason why these cured hams can be spared, because each one costs thousands of alliance coins. The high price still discourages many people. After all, rice and noodles only cost so much.
After buying the ham, Shen Qiu pushed the cart forward.
He saw some scattered non-staple food, such as chocolate, French fries and the like.
Shen Qiu doesn't pick and choose, as long as he can eat, he puts it in the shopping cart.
After strolling around, Shen Qiu came to the living area, where all the commonly used items such as toothpaste had been washed away.
The rest are steel balls, towels and the like.
Shen Qiu also frowned as he watched.
At this time, Shen Qiu saw a thin man wearing glasses, listless and thin, pushing an empty shopping cart and parked in the infant area.
He moved box after box of diapers onto the shopping cart.
Shen Qiuruo thought for a moment, then pushed the cart over and shouted.
"Zhou Yuan."
Zhou Yuan was startled immediately. He turned around and saw that it was Shen Qiu, and then he exhaled and said.
"It's Shen Qiu."
"Well, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to come to do shopping! If you don't buy food, why do you buy so many diapers?" Shen Qiu also asked curiously
.
"There's nothing to buy, and I can't grab them, so I might as well just stock up on diapers. You also know that tigress in my family, who catches me handing in my homework every day, just in case one day, there really is one! Can't buy it then? It's going to be a disaster, I have to prepare in advance."
Zhou Yuan explained to Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu coughed and said.
"That Zhou Yuan, actually I want to tell you, can you be gentler when you hand in your homework? And it doesn't have to be so frequent, right? You also know that it's really hard for a energetic young man like me to live down here alone. "
Oh, you don't know, and I don't want to! You don't know that in order to avoid that tigress in my family, I work overtime every day and don't go back until midnight. I still can't escape." Zhou Yuan faced Shen Qiu
. He kept telling his grievances.
It made Shen Qiu feel uncomfortable. He came to see Zhou Yuan. Actually, he came to complain because he finally saw the real owner.
Unexpectedly, he was also quite pitiful, so he said.
"I still have to buy something else. Let's talk next time, and you should hurry up and buy something else."
After Shen Qiu said that, he quickly pushed the shopping cart away.
Zhou Yuan scratched his head with a look of pity on his face, finally finding someone to talk to.
After Shen Qiu walked away, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, he heard the familiar sound of crying and cursing, and immediately turned his head to look over.
I saw the lady next door holding the hand of a ruffian-looking young man with yellow hair and crying and cursing.
"You can't steal it from me. I got it with great difficulty, you robber."
