Night of the Apocalypse

Chapter 256: Sky-high price

Views:

At this time, the convoy drove into the defensive camp, and then two forks appeared in front of it. The left one led to the rest area, and the right one led to the resettlement area.

It can be clearly seen that there is a large gas station in the rest area, as well as restaurants, hotels, public toilets, etc. built with movable building modules. Looking at the resettlement area on the right, it is full of simple tents and a large number of resettled civilians.

They saw the incoming convoy with longing eyes.

However, no one came over, mainly because the patrolling soldiers stopped them. It is also worth pointing out that the rest area and the resettlement area are separated by a high-voltage electric wall.

In addition, there are special combatants guarding the entrance to the rest area.

They only allow cars with special license plates to drive in, and private cars are not allowed in unless you show your ID.

Soon, the convoy that Shen Qiu was in stopped at the rest area.

Shen Qiu got out of the car. The whole rest area was very lively, with a large number of convoys parked here.

I saw KPI personnel from different districts getting off the bus, smoking and chatting. It was very uncomfortable to drive long distances.

Shen Qiu stretched and walked around the rest area since he had nothing to do.

At this time, he saw a huge restaurant called Shizhongcan located in the center of the rest area, with many KPI personnel coming in and out.

Shen Qiu touched his chin, revealing a puzzled look. Wasn't it said that everything inside District 8 was unsafe? Why was there still someone opening a restaurant here

And seeing so many people coming in, they couldn't be so bold as to really eat here, right

Thinking of this, Shen Qiu walked over to take a look.

He followed the crowd into the restaurant. The interior of the restaurant was very spacious. There were a hundred tables in the hall, which could accommodate up to five hundred people dining at the same time.

In addition, although this restaurant is built with building modules, the interior decoration is very luxurious, with artistic lights above the head, the floor is paved with high-grade stone bricks, and air-conditioning and other facilities are all available.

However, Shen Qiu soon discovered a problem: there were many people coming in, but not many people actually sat down to eat.

At this time, Shen Qiu saw a middle-aged man wearing protective clothing, with pockmarks on his face, thick eyebrows, and a rather funny look. He was chatting with a woman who looked quite attractive and was wearing red work clothes.

"Are the things here clean? I won't get infected if I eat them, right?"

"Don't worry, sir. We guarantee that dining here is absolutely clean and sanitary! And there is 100% no infection."

"Oh, how can you guarantee that?"

The man asked curiously.

Shen Qiu also looked over with great interest. If it could really be guaranteed to be safe and clean, he would not suggest packing some food back and sharing it with Yun Xiaoxi and the others.

Although they brought a lot of dry food, they didn't bring other ingredients. So if they kept eating, their stomachs would be uncomfortable. Of course, they would eat better if they had choices.

"All of our dishes are shipped in from the famous Food God Group in District 4. They are all pre-prepared dishes, and they are all good. Moreover, each pre-prepared dish is individually packaged, and there are codes and production videos for checking. If the packaging label is damaged, it will be thrown away. In addition, even the pre-prepared dish heating device is equipped here, and it is disposable. Do you think it is safe?"

“Is this true or false?”

"If you don't believe me, look at the dining table over there."

The waitress said politely.

When Shen Qiu heard this, he looked over and saw a dining table not far to the left.

Two KPI personnel, who were not wearing protective clothing but metal modular armor and had proud expressions, sat there.

At this time, two waiters brought over two cube-shaped metal sealed boxes.

The entire sealed box is intact on the outside and has no dents. The sealed box is also electronically locked and labeled.

The waiter showed the sealed box to the customer from all angles and confirmed that there were no problems.

Then, in front of the guests, the box is unlocked and the sealed label is removed. Inside the sealed box is a can, a tightly sealed stone pot, and a base with fuel.

Just light the base and place the stone pot on top to heat it up.

“It’s pretty good.”

Shen Qiu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Brother, I think it's great too. The owner of this restaurant is really talented. He is able to bring business here. If he doesn't make money, who will?"

The KPI staff member said with great emotion.

"really."

Shen Qiu said in agreement.

The waitress said at this time.

"Gentlemen, if you want to order, please go to the counter and order. Here you pay before you eat. I have to go serve other guests, so I'll leave now."

After saying that, the waitress left.

"Brother, let's go order food together?"

The KPI staff member spoke to Shen Qiu in a very familiar manner.

"OK."

Shen Qiu didn't say much.

"My name is Zheng San, and I'm from the KPI department in District 4. Where are you from, brother?"

"Shen Qiu, from Clear Sky City."

"Oh, that's not far. I've been to Clear Sky City before, and it's pretty good there, but I heard the cost of living there is a bit high."

"It's OK."

Shen Qiu and Zheng San chatted intermittently and walked towards the counter.

Soon they arrived at the counter, only to see several KPI personnel leave speechlessly.

“Order!”

Zheng San was smiling and in a good mood as he spoke to a handsome young man in work clothes at the counter.

"Dear guest, the menu and prices are here. If you like any dish, just pay for it."

The young man replied politely.

"I think your restaurant is good in every way, except that the payment model should be changed. Normal restaurants pay after eating, but you do it the other way around. After all, the people who come here to eat are all well-known people, so who would want to owe you a small amount of money, right?"

Zheng San offered his suggestions to the young man.

"Okay, we'll report this to our superiors."

The young man responded with a smile.

Shen Qiu didn't think anything of it. He looked at the menu and prices posted on the counter.

Red Soup Taurus Pot·160,000 Alliance Coins.

Extremely icy seafood wontons, 100,000 Alliance coins.

Red Apple 10,000 Alliance Coins

When Shen Qiu saw the number in front, his first reaction was that it was quite cheap, but when he saw the unit at the back, his eyelids jumped.

Before Shen Qiu could speak, Zheng Sanxian jumped up and shouted in surprise.

"Robbery! It's so expensive!"

"Sir, all our prices are clearly marked. They are all market prices."

The young man at the counter said with a smile.

"No, your price is too outrageous. An apple costs 10,000 Alliance coins. An apple made of pure gold shouldn't be that expensive, right?"

Zheng San suddenly became anxious.

“Yes, the price is too high.”

Shen Qiu also frowned, this price was a bit outrageous.

At this time, many KPI personnel who were ordering food, seeing something interesting was happening, came over and started to criticize.

"Your prices are too low, even black shops don't charge this."

"Yes, you are taking advantage of the situation!"
