Chapter 210: Playing Badly in the Doomsday World 11
Chapter 210: Playing Badly in the Doomsday World 11
Other people in the shop also looked at the owner expectantly.
Barbara knew the original plot and knew that mankind would eventually overcome this disaster.
However, that was a long time ago. In such a harsh environment, I wonder how many of the guests standing here today can witness that time with their own eyes.
Maomao fell into deep thought.
"The owner doesn't lie." After a while, the cat owner squatting at the service counter spoke up, "Humans are incredibly resilient. No matter how bad the environment is, they will eventually find ways to adapt, overcome, and defeat the enemy."
The little girl didn't quite understand.
The humans around understood what was said. They seemed to regard it as a "prophecy" from the mysterious shop owner, and they all showed excited expressions.
Su Heng walked into the store.
It was his first time entering the store, and Barbara's first time meeting the other protagonist.
Compared to Chu Yan, who has a righteous look and can make people trust him at first sight, Su Heng, who has experienced betrayal, tragic death, and rebirth, has a much more gloomy and cold temperament.
After observing, Barbara said, "Guest, if you need to shop, please line up."
Su Heng shook his head.
He approached the service counter, stared at the extremely beautiful kitten, and whispered, "I have a question and would like to ask the owner to answer it."
Before Barbara could speak, he placed a bag of zombie crystal cores on the service desk: "This is considered a consultation fee, okay?"
Quite sensible!
Barbara was a little curious about what he wanted to ask, but looked at the curious eyes of the other guests.
It thought for a moment and said, "The owner has to go to work. If you don't mind, you can talk to the security guard."
Swish!
Most of the curious gaze was instantly withdrawn.
The owner is very easy to talk to, but the security guard who drags people into the abyss if they disagree with him also leaves a deep impression on people.
Su Heng had also heard about the deeds of the mysterious security guard in black in the store.
He doesn't mind.
Then, a door appeared again on the wall behind the service desk.
Barbara said, "Go inside and you can see her."
This meant a private consultation, which was exactly what Su Heng wanted.
Without any hesitation, he left the crystal core on the service desk, pushed open the mysterious door and walked in.
The guests watched as his figure disappeared through the door, and the entire door merged into the wall like water and disappeared.
A customer asked: "Owner, where is he going?"
"Shopkeeper, the security guard in the store, who is she? No, is she a human?"
Barbara told them: "If you are curious, you can also learn from that person."
They all fell silent immediately.
That bag of crystal cores looks like a lot.
Besides, even if I could afford it, the thought of being alone with that horrible woman in some unknown place was something I couldn't do without some courage.
.
Su Heng had actually made some mental preparations.
He would not be surprised whether what appeared behind the door was a horrifying hell scene or brilliant high-tech future.
However, the fact is, just like opening an ordinary door, behind the door is an ordinary room.
It's just like the living room in many people's homes before the end of the world.
The host sat on the sofa, waiting for his guest.
"Please sit down." The woman in black pointed to a seat where there was a glass of water, which was obviously prepared specially for him.
Su Heng's gaze was towards the balcony.
The balcony was well-lit and he saw the golden sunlight.
"Was that an illusion?"
Zhu Yin followed his gaze.
“No, that’s a scene from another world.”
another world……
Su Heng asked: "Can I go to the balcony and take a look?"
Zhu Yin raised her hand: "Please go ahead."
The balcony is open and the house is on the first floor.
Walking out, he easily felt the warmth of the sun on his body.
There is a large lawn outside, and further away, you can see neat rows of trees.
When he stretched out his hand and looked beyond the balcony, his hand was blocked by an invisible barrier.
Su Heng closed his eyes and quietly felt this long-lost feeling, then walked back to the living room.
He looked at the "security guard" silently.
She was sitting in a very comfortable-looking single sofa in a very relaxed posture, holding a book in her hand. Due to some mysterious power, he could not see a single word in the book.
She seemed to be very confident in him and did not restrict any of his actions from beginning to end.
Su Heng intuitively felt that she was by no means a simple "security guard".
He sat down cautiously: "Hello."
Zhu Yin put down the book: "Hello, what doubts do you need me to answer for you?"
Su Heng did not hesitate. He had already thought it through before he entered the store.
"You and the shop owner both come from the mysterious places of the universe and are well-informed." Su Heng said, "So, do you think that people can be resurrected after death?"
He stared at Zhu Yin's face and found that the other party's eyes did not change when he heard this question.
"Of course." She answered affirmatively.
Zhu Yin looked at him with a smile: "When you have a strong enough power, you will know that life and death, reincarnation, everything can be controlled."
Su Heng's eyes trembled. He felt that all the secrets he had tried hard to hide seemed to be exposed in this person's eyes.
He took a deep breath and said, "What about the end of the world? Was the heavy rain and the zombie virus also controlled by someone else?"
Zhu Yin shook her head: "As far as I know, no."
Su Heng asked: "Why is Barbara's shop here?"
Zhu Yin: "Maybe it's fate."
Seeing that Su Heng was about to ask again, Zhu Yin spoke in time: "There is only one last question left, think about it first."
Su Heng hesitated for a moment between "What is the function of the crystal core" and another question, and chose the latter.
"The owner said in the store that humans will eventually overcome everything." He confirmed again, "Is that true?"
He didn't see it in his previous life.
Zhuyin said: "The owner and I came here just for that day."
.
The person who entered the mysterious door in the wall came back safe and sound!
Many people were curious about what he asked, but Su Heng left in a hurry.
Not long after, Dongquan Base contacted him, wanting to know what he had asked.
Su Heng had an average impression of the base, or rather, he was very wary of everyone.
Facing the people from the base, he was very cold: "What do you want to know? Why don't you ask it yourself?"
The visitor smiled bitterly: "Do you think we don't want to? It's just a few crystal cores. But the owner said they run a shop and don't do part-time consulting. You must have been lucky that day, and the owner happened to be in a good mood."
Su Heng was startled.
He said coldly: "I didn't ask many questions that day. I only know that the owner has no ill will towards humans, and she said that humans will overcome this disaster."
"Is it gone?" The visitor didn't believe it.
Su Heng raised his thin lips slightly: "If you don't believe it, go ask her yourself."
People at the base: “…” If we could ask, would we have to come to you?
When the person on the other side was about to say something, Chu Fei hurried in from outside and spoke quickly: "Someone has come from the Phoenix Base. They have learned about the store and are now in a standoff!"
……
When that group of people came over, the customers were shopping normally and Zhuyin was discussing store matters with Barbara.
"I see in these novels that people's shops are all upgraded. I think we can't lose."
Barbara looked at the excited host. It was obvious that the host was very satisfied with the security guard's role in this mission and was having a lot of fun.
It asked: "What additional functions do we want after we upgrade?"
Zhuyin began to discuss with the store owner about adding some interesting products.
Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound of a helicopter outside, and soon, a group of humans in uniform broke into the store.
Barbara ended her communication with the host and looked at the group of people.
That's exactly what those people are targeting.
"Are you the legendary cat shop owner?" The leader stared at Barbara with hawk-like eyes. "Hello, I'm from the Phoenix Base, and I bring you the leader's greetings."
The person who came looked a little unfriendly.
Barbara said simply, "I'm the owner, Barbara. If you want to shop, please line up."
"Queue up?" The man laughed, took out a large bag of crystal cores from the person behind him, and put it on the ground with a "bang".
"Here are a thousand zombie crystal cores." He stared at Barbara, "I heard that the shop owner likes zombie crystal cores. These are our leader's gifts to you."
Barbara had never experienced such a scene before, and she was a little panicked: "Host, host, what do they mean by this?"
Zhuyin taught it: "Don't pay attention to what they mean, and don't try to understand. In your store, you just need to listen to you and follow your rules."
"I'm here, don't be afraid."
Yes, the host is here, what are you afraid of.
Barbara frowned: "Barbara is just a cat who runs a shop. She doesn't accept gifts."
Even if rejected, the visitor will not be angry.
He said, "Barbara, our leader is the owner of the Phoenix Base. He heard about you and your store and is very interested. I wonder if you can open a branch in our base? Our Phoenix Base is very wealthy, and your store will have more room for development there."
With the host behind him, the shop owner was very confident: "No!"
The man's smile faded a little, and he seemed to be hesitant about something. He suddenly turned his head and said to the customers who were queuing in the store and watching the excitement, "Phoenix Base wants to discuss a business deal with the store owner today. Please give us some face and leave us some private space."
The person behind him took out another bag of crystal cores. It was obvious that he was a person with spatial ability.
"All guests who leave can go to our people to receive ten crystal cores."
"If you don't leave, you will become the enemy of Phoenix Base."
Barbara was so angry that her hair almost exploded: "What do they mean? They chased my business away right in front of me! They don't take me, the store owner, seriously at all!"
"Don't be angry, shop owner." Zhu Yin suddenly appeared and stroked the system's hair. "The security guard will drive them away for you."
The sudden appearance of the woman attracted everyone's attention.
The eyes of the representative from Phoenix Base lit up. They had received information that there was a very mysterious female security guard in the store. One of their tasks this time was to test the security guard's abilities.
A smile appeared on his face: "This is——"
Zhuyin interrupted him and said, "I'm curious, who gave you the courage to act so arrogantly in this store?"
