Luo Xiaole was almost amused to death by this group of lively characters.
"Hey, wait, how do you use this vending machine? We don't have any cash..."
"Seeing it but not being able to eat it is cruel. This is simply the most cruel thing in the world!"
Cries of agony immediately erupted, even more miserable than the howls of zombies.
"This is my vending machine. You can trade with me." Luo Xiaole's smile deepened.
"Any supplies can be traded, of course, but if you have medicine, that would be even better." Luo Xiaole had just seen their bulging bags, with traces of medicine packaging.
"That's great!" As soon as Luo Xiaole finished speaking, one of them, carrying a large canvas bag, rushed towards her.
Opening the bag, she found it was full of medicine for... hemorrhoids?
"You can't blame me for this. This is what we collected yesterday. Things were urgent at the time, and we didn't have time to see what medicine it was, so we put it in our pockets. We only found out at night that this medicine was already expired by 2 years..." The man looked heartbroken.
After all, he knew that expired medicine was useless to others.
Unexpectedly, Luo Xiaole's eyes lit up with joy, and she gracefully accepted the medicine from his bag.
Her eyes curved into crescents.
Expired medicine cannot be eaten, otherwise it can easily cause drug poisoning. This medicine is indeed useless to others.
However, medicine is something she desperately needs right now!
Although their effects are similar, because the formulas are different, they can be considered different medicines!
Then she could hand them in to the space pharmacy.
"Here, take this coin and put it into the vending machine, and the item will come out." She happily handed them the special vending machine currency provided by the system.
This was her vending machine, which was different from other vending machines. The food inside could be stocked by her at will.
As long as she was willing to trade, she could give the vending machine currency to others, and they could insert coins, select the items they liked according to the prices Luo Xiaole set.
"Little sprout, you're amazing!" The others looked at her with surprise.
"Controlling this must also consume a lot of your special abilities, right? You've worked hard!" others exclaimed.
Then, with great anticipation, they came forward one by one, took the special currency from Luo Xiaole's hand, lined up in an orderly fashion, walked to the vending machine, and selected the items they wanted.
"There's hot water on the back of the vending machine. If you want to eat instant noodles, you can go get some," Luo Xiaole added with a smile.
The others' mouths watered at the sound. They exchanged quite a few beef jerky sticks and biscuits, then picked up their instant noodles of different flavors and went one by one to the back to get hot water, eating them steaming hot.
Tears of emotion were almost streaming down their faces...
While everyone was eating, Luo Xiaole found a hidden corner and flashed into her space.
She came to the second magnificent pharmacy.
She handed the entire bag of medicine through the pharmacy window.
[Detected that the host has collected 12 different types of medicine. Please continue to strive.]
Luo Xiaole clapped her hands with satisfaction. Good, it was a good start.
In the latter half of the night, she joined everyone's conversation.
Only then did she learn that they had later received signals from Luocheng Base through various means in the residential area.
Countless people had already set off for Luocheng Base.
They had set off relatively late, and now quite a few people had probably arrived at Luocheng Base.
Luo Xiaole keenly discovered important information.
From the tone of everyone's voices, it seemed that they were fortunate to have bought her strengthened weapons from the beginning.
The survival rate of their entire residential area seemed to be much higher than that of others.
There were even a few people with good skills who had gradually made a name for themselves among the current survivors.
Luo Xiaole was very pleased.
...
The next morning, Luo Xiaole prepared a rich food list for Zhou Shoushan and his companions who were traveling with her.
Zhou Shoushan raised an interested eyebrow.
Then, with lingering relish, he ate a plate of Guo Bao Rou provided by Luo Xiaole.
He wiped away the last bit of residue on his lips, his eyes slightly red.
Guo Bao Rou was a dish his mother often made for him before.
But after his mother passed away, he had never eaten such delicious Guo Bao Rou again.
He never expected to eat such delicious Guo Bao Rou in the apocalypse!
He was deeply touched and looked at Luo Xiaole gratefully.
"Little friend Xiaole, from now on, at Luocheng Base, whether it's weapons or food, you can trade freely without any reservations. I mean what I say." His words carried weight.
"Then thank you in advance, Commander." Luo Xiaole knew the significance of his words.
However, she was well aware that she could borrow Zhou Shoushan's name to sell weapons, but she couldn't always bother him.
Being too prominent was not a good thing.
The group of lively characters from last night had already woken up full of energy and gathered in the middle of the yard.
After feeding her own teammates, Luo Xiaole took advantage of the group's conversation to stroll through the rooms.
She reinforced the scythes and hoes that looked like they hadn't been used for a long time, were covered in dust and rust, and other items in the rooms, while she still had mental power.
[83 weapons have been strengthened, costing 16600 shop coins.]
She spent less than 800 yuan on stocking the food vending machine and feeding her teammates.
Including the shop coins spent on strengthening weapons.
[Balance 123835 shop coins.]
"It's okay," Luo Xiaole comforted herself silently. Anyway, once the next batch of weapons were sold, she would be a rich woman again.
She returned to the middle of the yard. Zhou Shoushan and Mo Chen had already packed their luggage.
They were waiting for her in the sun.
"Do you still need food?" Luo Xiaole looked at the group from last night, her eyes shining.
She had seen last night that the supplies on these people were not much, and it might not be enough to buy her batch of weapons again.
Trading food was a good option!
"Little sprout! You're so loyal!" The eyes of the others also lit up.
They left behind the weapons they had repaired last night and other essential items.
They handed over everything else without hesitation and exchanged them for the remaining food in the vending machine with Luo Xiaole.
"With sufficient food and the weapons repaired by the great weapons master, reaching Luocheng Base should not be a problem." They happily held the food in their hands.
Luo Xiaole immediately had the system absorb the items she received in the trade.
[Converted according to the apocalypse standard, your account has received 20800 shop coins, balance 144635 shop coins.]
"By the way... where is the weapons master?" everyone asked in surprise.
"She already set off last night. We are also going to Luocheng Base. Do you want to come with us?" Luo Xiaole asked.
"We still have to wait for a few teammates on the way. You go ahead, and we'll find you when we get to Luocheng Base!" The others said cheerfully.
Luo Xiaole nodded. It seemed these people were indeed very loyal.
She and Zhou Shoushan got back into the car, ready to depart.
Luo Xiaole had redrawn the map to Luocheng Base based on the memories in Mo Chen's mind that morning. Calculating the time, Luo Shu and the others should also be rushing here from another direction.
They planned to go to a nearby national highway intersection first to try and meet up with Luo Shu and the others.
Of course, she also gave a copy of the map to this group.
They all expressed their gratitude and said they would remember Luo Xiaole's kindness.
The car had started.
Luo Xiaole slowly waved to them, "Then we'll be going ahead."
The others also enthusiastically crowded at the door and waved goodbye to her, "Be careful on the road, little sprout, see you at Luocheng Base!"
...
At this moment, Luo Shu and Lin Xia and the others were also reluctantly following Qin Mingyang's convoy.
They were driving on the national highway towards Luocheng Base.
"Young master, the zombie horde behind us has caught up again."
One of the special forces soldiers, who had the ability of vision, reported to Qin Mingyang with some anxiety.
