Chapter 50 Metaphysical Coordinates, Shelter (Please read and recommend)

The shelter is located in a complex of buildings surrounded by lakes on three sides, with a relatively open terrain in the front and all protected by iron walls.

There is a broken automatic door at the entrance, which has been reinforced and raised with large cement bricks. The mottled words on it can barely be recognized, which are "Ning Yao xx No. xx Middle School xx".

Before the disaster, this place used to be a school. Because the building was relatively intact, it was used as a shelter by later generations.

"-14, 15? Is this the coordinate... Gu Qian, do you know the exact location this represents?"

Wait at the gate and let the patrol team go in first to negotiate with the people here.

Xu Shu looked at the dark star-shaped flag fluttering in the wind on the clock tower and asked without turning his head.

Before coming, he had already discussed with Gu Pan that he would call her by a pseudonym when they were outside.

Gu Pan glanced at the lace edge of Xu Shu pinned at his waist, with a corner faintly visible, and replied with a click of the tongue:
"The Astronomical Society uses the central star tower in the safety zone as the base point of the sky. It arranges the stars in an array, and divides them into large base numbers, with one piece equal to ten. Through the numbers, one can determine the direction of east, south, west, north, and the distance from the safety zone.

"For example, the location of this shelter is exactly 150 kilometers west of the Star Tower and 140 kilometers north."

what?
Xu Shu was stunned at first. What was this Tianyuan formation and the great famine? It made him confused and terrified.

It wasn't until Gu Pan said the second sentence that Xu Shu suddenly realized, "Damn, coordinate system 1 is 10 kilometers, right? It sounds so metaphysical."

"Emmm, that's about right. The border line is the number nineteen plus and nineteen minus from the left side of the Star Tower. One is 1 kilometers. Anyway, a shelter at this location will be larger and have more people because it's easier for patrol soldiers to find supplies."

As Gu Pan spoke, he looked at the bulging lace cloth sticking out of Xu Shu's butt pocket and puffed up his lips.

I thought about whether I should dig it out and see what it was, but finally gave up.

"Don't ask, don't ask, it's none of my business! We are just ordinary friends!" she warned herself viciously.

At this time, Lao Jiang and his friends had already returned, followed by several men and women, who should be the people in charge of the shelter.

One of them was older, about sixty years old, with a good demeanor. He was wearing a long gray cloth gown and looked like a Confucian scholar from ancient times.

Uh, there are still men in ancient costumes these days... Xu Shu looked at him walking quickly and couldn't help but ask, will he really not fall accidentally if he wears this kind of clothes?

"This is Mr. Yang Chong from the shelter."

Lao Jiang briefly introduced the other party to Xu Shu.

It turns out that Yang Chong was the principal here before the new calendar.

After the catastrophe, he had the opportunity to enter the safe zone, but for some reason he chose to stay here.

The facilities in this shelter are quite good. There is a school and a simple hospital. It houses more than a thousand wasteland refugees, so it is quite large.

And it is said that they also have an extraordinary person as their strongest guardian force.

Lao Jiang said a lot, and his words seemed to be speaking well of Yang Chong. He also hinted to Xu Shu from time to time that the wasteland was not safe and was sometimes attacked by monsters. If it weren't for that extraordinary person, hundreds of children, women and elderly people in the shelter would have died.

“???” Xu Shu looked at him with increasingly strange eyes.

No, why are you telling me this?
It sounds like Yang Chong is indeed a selfless and good person, but what does this have to do with me?

You don't want me to stay and serve as their guard, do you?
Xu Shu glanced at him.

Lao Jiang became even more excited: "Alas, it's a pity that the extraordinary master is old and there is no one to succeed him. If there is one more extraordinary person stationed here, it will be even more..."

"Wait a minute, you don't have any family, right?" Xu Shu couldn't help it and interrupted Lao Jiang's chattering.

Lao Jiang was stunned when he heard this, and said awkwardly: "Ah, sir, how did you know?"

"?"

Depend on.

Xu Shu rolled his eyes.

Damn it, no wonder you act like you want to live here, you really don't have any family? That's a bit pathetic.

But I do have it!

"It's okay, just do your best. By the way, Principal Yang Chong, take these water and food. They will be our accommodation fee for tonight."

Xu Shu patted Lao Jiang on the shoulder, then took two buckets of water and two large boxes of instant noodles from the car, and motioned Lao Jiang to bring them to the old principal.

After all, it was someone else's territory, and Xu Shu didn't want to owe them a favor. In the wasteland, these foods were the most valuable. These two boxes of instant noodles were more than enough to live here for a few days. On the contrary, the water was just a bonus.

At this time, a younger woman with a slightly out of shape and a somewhat harsh face behind Yang Chong saw this and said in a bad tone: "What do you mean, didn't you say that these materials are all considered as supplies brought here? How come there are only two kinds?"

"Hey, Xiao Chen, don't say that..." Lao Jiang became anxious when he heard it.

Hmm? After hearing this, Xu Shu glanced at Lao Jiang and immediately understood what he had said. He couldn't help but curl his lips slightly.

What? Once I get on your car, it becomes your property, and you just give it away? Interesting. It seems that deep down, you still think I'm too young, and you haven't changed your habit of taking advantage of your age.

However, Xu Shu thought about it and decided that if he wanted to take these supplies back, it would be quite troublesome to sell them in the city. Would it be better to exchange them for money?
Xu Shu said, "I can give you all the supplies in these two trucks. I have no use for them. If you want them, you can exchange them with money or gold. If you have erosion crystals, that would be even better. Just gather together a value of 100,000 or 80,000. I won't take advantage of you."

The refugees are very poor, but with so many of them gathered together, they are not so poor.

On weekdays, they rummage around in the ruins, occasionally getting some things from the old times and exchanging them for money with passing caravans.

If you are lucky enough, you may find gold or antiques and make a fortune.

What was the purpose of Xu Shu's pioneering work? Was it really for the illusory extraordinary opportunity?
I just want to dig some gold so that I can go back and provide stability to my family and let my adoptive father continue to receive good medical care in the city.

With these two full trucks full of various daily necessities, it would be more than enough to exchange them for 100,000 yuan in the wasteland.

The refugees could dig out gold, silver and jewelry from the ruins, but they certainly couldn't find food. They had to rely on passing caravans or go into the city to get supplies.

Since you have to spend money anyway, you might as well spend it on me. I can even give you a discount~ Xu Shu thought to himself.

Unexpectedly, the woman who had just opened her mouth was immediately unwilling to pay when she heard that money was required: "No, this is too much, how much can this little food be worth? You are too mean to ask for 100,000... You said you are useless, why don't you give it to us? Why are you so stingy?"

Interesting, this woman has a pig brain? Doesn't she know my identity?

Xu Shu narrowed his eyes and looked at her with a smile. He was just about to ask her, "Your head is useless, why not give it to me?"

Just as he was about to speak, Principal Yang Chong glared at the woman and said, "Shut up! Who told you to talk? Take it back. From now on, you are no longer qualified to manage the account books of the shelter."

"Ah? Principal, I..." The woman was about to speak when someone covered her mouth and dragged her back.

Yang Chong bowed deeply to Xu Shu and said with difficulty: "My lord, it's all my fault. Please forgive me. Life in the wasteland is difficult. They haven't dealt with outsiders for a long time and don't know what politeness is. I will punish them severely. I hope you will not bear grudges..."

Xu Shu glanced at him and thought that this principal was sensible and had a good attitude, so he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just a small matter."

Yang Chong then stood up and said, "Thank you, sir. We are willing to buy the supplies you brought. You said 100,000, and we are willing to add another 20% on top of that. Let's stay here today and we will prepare the money tomorrow. Is that okay with you?"

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Okay, Principal Yang, I'll trouble you tonight. You have to vacate two rooms for me."

"It should, it should."

Yang Chong is older, around sixty years old, but he is very humble when facing Xu Shu.

This made Xu Shu feel very comfortable communicating.

Otherwise, if the other side wanted to cause trouble like that woman, he really wouldn't mind letting them know that the dignity of a supernatural being cannot be offended.

I am the king of the Black Widow prison. Do you think you can contradict me? Believe it or not, I will let you know what it means that one person's bad words can bring prosperity to everyone?

After that, nothing happened.

After dinner, Xu Shu simply washed up and returned to his room. However, he was still careful and put the pillow in the quilt, tilting it up to make it look like someone was sleeping inside.

He rolled under the bed and began to sleep.

You can't blame him for being too cautious. It was just that it was too early and Xu Shu had not had many chances, so he couldn't afford to take the risk.

Fortunately, nothing happened that night.

After sleeping until dawn, Xu Shu opened his eyes, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
