Surviving the Long Night: Starting from the Gas Station and Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 54: Charging Fees, Su Caiwei and Seeking Peace of Mind

Upon hearing that Lu Sheng needed his help, Qin Feng put the 50% discount aside for the moment:

"Brother Lu Sheng, what do you need me to do?"

Lu Sheng pointed to a row of cars parked behind him:

"The security at our camp isn't very good. These people haven't even paid for their overnight stay yet, and I'm worried that there might be some tough guys among them."

Consider it me hiring you. Come with me to collect the money, help me save face. Seeing your size, even the most hot-tempered person would be willing to reason with you.

Qin Feng nodded, then brought up the 50% discount again:

"Brother Lu Sheng, this is nothing. I'll help you with it, and I'll pay you in full."

Lu Sheng looked at Jiang Shutong, who waved her hand with a helpless expression that said, "You understand now."

"Alright, transfer the money to Jiang Shutong. You're welcome to stay here anytime you need anything."

He didn't want to continue arguing with Qin Feng, lest too much talk damage their relationship.

Seeing Lu Sheng raise his hands in surrender, Jiang Shutong showed her payment code. There were 21 people in the Wilderness Recycling Team. Each person received 500 points, for a total of 10500 points.

Afterwards, he took Qin Feng and greeted each of the guests who had chosen to stay in the car. Most of the guests were very friendly, and even the few who were not so friendly became friendly after seeing Qin Feng.

Including Wang Jian, there were seventeen guests, and Lu Sheng received a total of 8500 points.

Seeing that the money he had painstakingly saved by fighting the ferocious beasts was now just a glance out the car window, he couldn't help but sigh, "Doing business is still the fastest way to make money."

"You've worked hard, you should go and rest too."

Lu Sheng patted Qin Feng's arm, and the latter nodded blankly and walked towards the container building. Because he was quite tall, he had to turn sideways when entering the door.

Jiang Shutong came over with an umbrella and sheltered Lu Sheng under it. Since there was only one umbrella and the rain wasn't heavy, Lu Sheng walked in the drizzle.

"The weather is getting colder and colder. You're our pillar of strength, so don't catch a cold."

"Don't worry, I'm in pretty good health. But speaking of which, shouldn't we have a doctor here?"

Jiang Shutong shook her head:

"I think it's quite difficult. See if your family can send someone over. In this era, a good doctor is worth far more than an Awakened One. Anyone with a bit of skill would be willing to come here and suffer."

"No need."

Lu Sheng pointed to the unmanned transport vehicle not far away:

"There's one right there."

Later, the two returned to the folding house. On the way back, Lu Sheng sent a message to Liang Shan, asking him to take some men to build another watchtower and place it at the west gate.

Upon entering the house, the first thing the two saw was Lin Ran sitting on the sofa.

"You're back? I went upstairs to check the roof. I saw water flowing down the window earlier and realized the drain pipes weren't installed properly. I've already fixed it."

Lin Ran's words made Jiang Shutong a little embarrassed. After the folding house was delivered, she spent most of her time living in the gas station warehouse. After moving in, she was so excited that she forgot to check the roof.

"Thank you."

"fine."

Lu Sheng walked past Jiang Shutong and sat down next to Lin Ran, asking about the prisoner files:

"Lin Ran, I remember there was a doctor among the prisoners?"

"Yes, Su Caiwei, a very young surgeon, ruined a significant experiment and caused great damage to Golden Sunflower."

Lin Ran looked at Lu Sheng:

"Are you going to wake her up?"

"She's a good first choice. If we wait until all four of them wake up in five days, it will be very troublesome to deal with them. Let's deal with them one by one."

Lin Ran nodded and put down the blueprint in her hand:

"Then I'll go with you."

"And what about me?"

Jiang Shutong asked.

"You stay here and finalize the specific costs for overnight stays and accommodation, as well as the relevant rules and regulations. The current price of 500 is just something I casually quoted; I don't actually know the going rate."

Upon hearing the task Lu Sheng assigned her, Jiang Shutong nodded:

"Indeed, security is very valuable, 500 credits is a bit low... Leave this administrative work to me, you guys do your thing."

After giving Jiang Shutong his instructions, Lu Sheng and Lin Ran went out together with umbrellas.

The guests were leaving one after another. Gu Yan, one of the two sentries, opened the door for them. At the top of the watchtower, Cui Shou held a rifle and kept an eye on the situation around the gate.

In the distance, he could see the door of the refueling warehouse open, with Liang Shan inside leading the workers to process timber and build a second watchtower.

The newly built camp was beginning to show a faint sign of life.

A few minutes later, the two arrived at the unmanned transport vehicle. Lu Sheng used his bracelet to summon Cheng Qiushui.

"Boss, who do you want to wake up?"

"Su Caiwei".

"Hmm, she's a very suitable candidate. I've seen her file. If she's willing to go against her conscience a little, she might become a high-ranking member of Golden Sunflower in the future."

As Cheng Qiushui shared her impressions of Su Caiwei, she entered the corresponding wake-up password. With a beep, the unmanned transport vehicle opened, and Lu Sheng saw four cylindrical hibernation pods.

With a ding, the second hibernation pod from the left lit up with a red light, followed by the sound of air pressure being released, and the hatch began to rise.

Under everyone's gaze, a handprint was placed on the inner wall of the hatch, which was slightly raised and then pushed open completely. Inside was a young woman in a white trench coat, with a gentle temperament and a slightly pale complexion that added to her charm.

She looked around curiously, her gaze sweeping over Jiang Shutong, Lu Sheng, and Cheng Qiushui in turn, before finally settling on Cheng Qiushui.

Cheng Qiushui stepped forward and briefly explained the current situation to her, then introduced the two people beside her:

"This is our future boss, Lu Sheng, a construction-type awakened individual, but his methods are absolutely more amazing than any other construction master you've ever met."

The man next to me is Lin Ran, the boss's right-hand man.

Su Caiwei nodded slightly, stepped out of the life support pod, and came to stand in front of Lu Sheng:

Where is the patient?

"They're resting. It's just a minor injury; they've taken care of it themselves. You can go check on them later."

Lu Sheng didn't expect the other party's first words to be like this. Coincidentally, Qin Feng's team had just been injured in the battle with the ferocious beast.

Although it had already been simply bandaged, since Su Caiwei wanted to find a patient, it would be a good opportunity for her to regain her touch.

"Can you take me there now?"

Su Caiwei asked:

"I feel more at ease knowing that you awakened me because you desperately needed my abilities."

Lu Sheng gestured for them to proceed, then beckoned to Lin Ran:

"Lin Ran, Dr. Su has just woken up and her body needs some time to adjust. Don't let her catch a cold."

Lin Ran nodded and quickly came over to hold the umbrella over her head, while Lu Sheng and Cheng Qiushui walked ahead to lead the way.
