Chapter 52 Kill two birds with one stone, expand outward!

Chen Qiuren's departure must have been arranged by Jiang Xiaoci.

Although this guy just joined the talent unit, Su Yi could tell that part of Chen Qiuren's personality was very similar to his own.

If you can stay at home, stay at home.

Don't go out when you have nothing to do, and lie down when you have nothing to do.

It's hard to imagine that this is the character of a killer who is a bit undisciplined, but Chen Qiuren is indeed like this.

When Su Yi was confused, Jiang Xiaoci had already pushed the door open from behind and walked into the room.

"Xiaoci, are you letting Chen Qiuren go out?"

Su Yi pointed to the sky outside the window: "It's already dark now, why let him go out so late?"

"It's definitely dangerous."

Jiang Xiaoci nodded and admitted, but Su Yi didn't think so: "This guy...I think the danger is secondary. I'm just curious, why does he bring such a thing when he goes out?"

A killer who is good at using poison goes out in the dark night of the high temperature and doomsday.

The level of danger is similar to the feeling of going home, and it is unlikely to die outside.

"Sir, you don't know something."

Jiang Xiaoci smiled and said: "A few days ago, Lin Yue and the others discovered a market organized by survivors six streets away during their search."

"There are always people there who bring their belongings to exchange things and barter. There are people there day and night."

No wonder Chen Qiuren would go out with a lot of things, co-authored to do business.

"oh?"

Su Yi became even more confused: "What do you plan to ask Chen Qiuren to buy back? Is there anything else we need in the shelter?"

Su Yi knew about the existence of offline markets. He had seen relevant discussion information in the chat channel a few days ago.

Although the shelter platform provides online trading items across the city, many items cannot be put on the shelves for trading.

Among them, the most inconspicuous, but the most needed ones are all kinds of inedible materials and items.

These materials may be table legs, construction site cement, steel bars, etc. They do not belong to the main categories recognized by doomsday game mechanisms such as food, drinking water, equipment weapons, etc., and cannot be put on the shelves for trading.

But today, when most technological means have failed, humans still need these pre-apocalyptic materials to rebuild their own shelters.

These methods are allowed in the doomsday mechanism. Su Yi has long discovered that some low-level technological methods and the ability to use tools that have been re-researched by humans are allowed to take effect.

Many survivors have not yet mastered the means to upgrade their shelters, and there is a need to improve the safety of their shelters. Naturally, there is a market demand for these materials.

In addition to this demand, sellers in online shelters who need it are hiding it, and the information about the items they introduce is fraudulent.

If you buy something that is not right, there is no way to return it for a refund.

Survivors who don't want to be deceived are also keen on conducting offline transactions. After all, they can see what is being bought and sold with their own eyes, so the risk of being deceived is slightly lower.

Of course, offline transactions are also very risky. There is a risk of being robbed or killed, and losing both people and goods.

The gains and losses must be weighed individually.

"We don't lack anything in our shelter, but we need to be prepared for any emergencies. I asked him to buy more medicine and the equipment he needs."

Jiang Xiaoci paused and said with a smile: "Of course, I also asked him to publicize our shelter supplies more and make him more generous."

"Be more generous?"

Su Yi frowned, he seemed to know what Jiang Xiaoci was going to do.

"You want to collect information about Little White Bear Sanctuary through trading?"

Su Yi asked, where there are many people, there is exchange of information.

There are too many people in online communication channels, and a large amount of useless information drowns out useful clues, making it difficult to obtain key intelligence information.

But it is different offline. As long as Chen Qiuren is generous enough, it is easy to open the psychological defense lines of buyers and sellers, and at least initially exchange some intelligence information.

"That's the intention, but it's more than that."

Jiang Xiaoci nodded, then shook his head: "Sir, offline trading itself is full of many unstable factors, and everyone is wary of each other. I think this method of intelligence collection is probably like finding a needle in a haystack."

"Although it is possible to obtain information about the Little White Bear Sanctuary, it may be difficult to know more details about the other party, or even contact the other party."

"Then what is Chen Qiuren's real purpose?"

Su Yi stared at Jiang Xiaoci, he knew that this woman would not do useless things.

Since Chen Qiuren's main purpose is not to collect intelligence, what else can it be?

"Show strength."

Jiang Xiaoci whispered: "Sir, I need him to represent our shelter to contact the survivors within the offline trading market, show our strength, spread our influence, and wait until the time is right... .”

"Second the offline trading market!"

Su Yi woke up and blurted out: "You want to occupy new territory! Control the offline trading market!"

"Not me."

Jiang Xiaoci smiled slightly and emphasized: "It's for sir."

My husband has gradually adapted to this era and can already predict what she is going to do.

Jiang Xiaoci knew that Su Yi was not stupid, but he had not changed his thinking habits in time before.

"Control the offline trading market...his, this method will work."

Su Yi paced back and forth, frowning and murmuring: "Use control methods to radiate our influence. As long as we are famous enough, we can naturally get in touch with the Little White Bear Sanctuary."

"Besides, we appear as the controllers of the offline trading market, so we naturally have the identity and position of businessmen. No matter how bloodthirsty Little White Bear is, he has no reason to kill us."

"He is tyrannical, but not stupid. He must know that building a good relationship with us can have more stable channels for material income."

"In this way, we can further cover up our shelter through the remote control of the trading market; at the same time, we can also show our strength and actually contact the Little White Bear Shelter."

"Then, Xiaoci, do you only intend to use this trading market as a shell to cover our identity?"

Su Yi looked at Jiang Xiaoci, and Jiang Xiaoci shook his head: "Of course it is not just that. As more and more new partners are brought by the gentleman, the pressure on us to support our family will naturally increase."

"A shelter will eventually fail to protect more and more people."

"We need more territory, more voice, and more armed forces to ensure the safety of the gentleman to the greatest extent."

Jiang Xiaoci's purpose is very simple. She wants the territory of the trading market, not just to contact the Little White Bear Shelter.

She also wants to use the trading market to expand the shelter and form a dangerous buffer zone at the same time.

As long as the trading market is taken, most of the eyes and attention of those who are hostile to Su Yi's shelter can be absorbed.

Once someone wants to make enemies with Su Yi, the trading market, as an open territory, will inevitably bear the brunt.

In this way, Su Yi's own shelter may not be attacked by the enemy in the first time, and the safety factor will be greatly improved.

If there is no external territory, once the enemy finds out the location of the shelter, Su Yi will have to face the enemy outside the shelter.

Although the safety of the shelter is improving and strengthening every day, there is always a chance of such things.

If the enemy is too powerful and far exceeds the shelter's tolerance, causing the enemy to break through the shelter, everything will be over.

If you think about it more deeply, once the trading market is taken, it can be used as a new springboard to gather more external survivors around Su Yi's shelter, so that they can unite around Su Yi to keep warm and resist the end of the world.

And under Jiang Xiaoci's management system, these external survivors cannot see Su Yi himself.

This is like the company management system before the end of the world. The employees at the bottom of the pyramid can't see the chairman casually, but they are fighting for the chairman's wealth all the time.

Jiang Xiaoci's decision is to kill two birds with one stone. It is a long-term consideration and has a sense of interconnectedness.

The more Su Yi thinks about it, the more perfect it feels.

"It's really good and thoughtful."

Su Yi was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "Xiaoci, you are really amazing! This trick is beneficial and harmless to us whether we encounter danger or develop smoothly."

Jiang Xiaoci is building layers of external protection for Su Yi, not just providing protection at the physical level, but all-round protection.

"Mr. is also very powerful."

Jiang Xiaoci blinked her beautiful eyes and said gently: "What Xiaoci thinks, you can't hide it from you."

"Huh? You actually know how to flatter?"

"I'm telling the truth."

Jiang Xiaoci's smile became brighter and brighter. She really thinks Su Yi is very smart, a person who is essentially kind and principled, but not pedantic.

In the face of danger, Su Yi can be decisive and ruthless; when conditions permit, he can also lend a hand to the weak.

Although he is sometimes lazy, he can figure out many things by himself, and he trusts his subordinates very much and dares to delegate power.

Such a leader may not be so perfect, but he can make his subordinates feel at ease.

"Okay, with you here, I can really be a good homeboy."

Su Yi lay comfortably on the sofa. Jiang Xiaoci has already started to implement the plan of outward expansion for the shelter, but these still cannot affect Su Yi's plan to stay at home and enjoy it.

She expands hers, I stay at home, there is no conflict.

"Sir, it's late, do you want to sleep?"

"Yes, okay."

Su Yi stood up and suddenly said with a smile: "Xiaoci, I suddenly feel that I seem to be a bit like Liu Adou, and I can rely on you for everything."

"Xiaoci is not as good as Zhuge Liang, and you are not as mediocre as Adou."

Jiang Xiaoci lowered his head and spoke softly: "In Xiaoci's opinion, you just don't like to fight."

Sir doesn't like to fight, but I can get it for you.

This is what Jiang Xiaoci didn't say, and Su Yi didn't ask, and was about to lie on the bed to sleep.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xiaoci reminded: "Sir, you don't seem to have taken a bath for a long time. The water resources in the shelter are sufficient. Do you want to take a bath?"

"That's right. I don't seem to have taken a serious bath in these few days of the doomsday."

Su Yi nodded: "Take a bath, turn on the water!"

"It's already ready. It's in the room downstairs. Li Ya renovated it yesterday. It's a big bathtub."

Jiang Xiaoci gently opened the door and led Su Yi to a room downstairs.

This house has been remodeled, and all the original facilities in the house have been cleared.

A third of the way up the wall is a platform, which encloses the clear water in the entire room, and the neatly arranged water outlets can be clearly seen at the bottom.

"Isn't this... a swimming pool?"

Su Yi's eyes widened, and he was amazed: "Did Li Ya do this? She turned this whole room into a swimming pool?"

"Yes."

Jiang Xiaoci nodded gently and introduced: "I came up with the idea, Li Ya made the drawings and plans, and built the necessary parts, and the rest was done by the girls themselves."

"I was wondering what you were doing downstairs these days, and it turns out there is such a surprise!"

"Sir, this is a surprise prepared by the girls for you."

Jiang Xiaoci whispered: "You provide shelter, the girls are grateful, and think they should do something for you to make you live more comfortably."

"Not bad, not bad, indoor swimming pool, I like it!"

Su Yi nodded with satisfaction. Although the swimming pool looks a bit shabby at present, it is already a good sign.

There is a swimming pool, so how far are other things?

Su Yi feels that the quality of his life as a geek in the shelter is gradually getting better and better.

"Sir, are you going to take a shower now?"

"Well, go out... Hey! Why are you taking off your clothes!"

"Sir, I have to be with you. If you get drowned, I have to watch you."

"That makes sense, but why are you wearing a swimsuit underneath? You must have planned it! You must have prepared it long ago!"

"Sir, this is called being prepared. If you don't like the color, Xiaoci will take it off now."
