Chapter 306: Dead Mansion Cash?

The Buick car was driving on the highway of Eagle Country, and patches of cedars were speeding past outside the window.

Mike and Raymond, the two remaining survivors of Base X, have made up their minds, but deserted. They are not prepared to report to any military or government agency.

But they kept an eye on the news, through the radio station on the car. They all believe that the demons at Base X will definitely run out.

And the direction they are driving to now is Mike's hometown.

Max Eagle Country Central People, the Central Eagle Country is vast and sparsely populated, compared with the Eagle Country people on the east and west coasts, the Eagle Country people in the middle are more conservative and stubborn, but at the same time, they are also a lot more hospitable. But at the same time, the people here are also more vigorous. If we use an analogy, there is a part of the personality of the people in the middle of the Eagle Country, which is very similar to the people of the Northwest or Northeast.

Hospitable and just do what you say. If you look at it, the people in the central part of the country will be able to pull out their guns and kill people.

Because there are few people in the central region, but there are many wild animals, every household has guns and ammunition. It is used to repel dangerous wild animals such as bears or crocodiles.

Moreover, the composition of the cities of the Eagle Country is not the same as that of China, where a city with a population of less than one million is embarrassed to call itself a city. Can a city with a population of only 350,000 be called a city? It can only be called a county seat!

But in Eagle Country, there are only a dozen cities with a population of more than one million. Although there are such metropolises as metropolises with a population of more than 20 million. But the Eagle Country is the most populous of small cities with a population of only one or two hundred thousand.

Eagle Country does not have the administrative level of townships and counties, and the lowest administrative level is the city. So they divide cities into megacities, large cities, medium-sized cities, small cities, and micro-cities.

In addition, many Eagle people actually like to live in the countryside. So their urban population is even smaller.

However, in the Eagle Country, there is no such thing as a village-to-village project. This is the so-called electrification of the network. In China, this infrastructure has covered more than 95% of the country's natural villages.

But in the Eagle Country, maybe there are roads in the countryside. But pay for the electricity and the internet.

Because the Eagle Signal Company and the energy company are both private companies, they will not invest money in the countryside to build transmission substations and signal base stations. Because there are too few people, there is too much money invested in infrastructure construction, and it is impossible to rely on fees.

Therefore, in some villages that are not population centers, if you want to use electricity and network, you need to pay a large amount of pre-transfer fees. Signal networks, in particular, are extremely expensive.

In some rural areas, it costs up to 2,000 eagles to install a television signal, and broadband can even cost up to 5,000 eagles. That's a lot of money.

Therefore, many Eagle people living in rural areas will choose not to install broadband. At the same time, the cost of mobile Internet access in Eagle Country is also extremely high. Because the base station does not really achieve nationwide coverage, it is normal for mobile phones to have no signal in rural areas.

Therefore, many farmers in the central region are very lagging behind in understanding the world's information, which is also the reason why many young people in Eagle Country yearn for big cities. The countryside is too boring, there are few people and no entertainment activities, not to mention, Internet access is stuck. It's easy to flirt with a girl on the Internet, and if you send a sentence [hello] in the past, it may be an hour before others receive it. Can this be tolerated? No matter what, you have to stay in a city with a fast internet connection.

Living in the Eagle Country may be cheap, but the other costs of living are not necessarily cheap.

But even so, many people choose to live in rural areas. Because the environment in the countryside is better, there are mountains and rivers, and there are cute big bears.

Wouldn't it be nice to spend a dozen yuan to buy a permit, carry a shotgun and go to shoot two deer and come back to improve the food.

Of course, there are also people who do not believe in the Eagle Nation government not to get close to nature.

It's like Mike's daddy, Frank. This is a veteran who is said to have served in the Secret Service and participated in many missions. He joined the army at the age of eighteen and retired at the age of twenty-eight. After retiring from the army, he refused a lucrative job arranged by the state, left the city, and went to live in the countryside in the middle. and married a wife and had children here, and gave birth to little Mike.

Frank owns three hundred acres of land with soybeans and corn seeds. In his spare time, he is planning his own business.

It's not that rural people like to do handicrafts, carpentry or anything. Frank is building a post-apocalyptic base. Because he firmly believes that sooner or later, the Eagle Country will fall into a war from which there will be no return.

Maybe it's a nuclear war, maybe it's a zombie mutation caused by a biotech leak, or maybe something else.

So as early as twenty years ago, he began planning a doomsday shelter. He also preached in his villages.

The Eagle Nation is a country of religious freedom, and it can even be said that freedom is too much. If you go deep into the middle of the Eagle Country, you will know how complex the religious beliefs of this country are. Various Christian mutant sects and even cults are prevalent.

Frank, on the other hand, was based in the village where he lived, and he established a religion of salvation himself. He declared that everything that humanity has done to the world will eventually be eaten up by the world, just as God destroyed humanity with the Great Flood.

And he is a person like Noah. God asked him to build the ark of the New Age. As long as you join this sect, then you can get a chance of salvation when the end comes.

Not to mention, this kind of sectarian propaganda has really fooled a lot of people. Because the doomsday theory is already very popular in the Eagle Country. Coupled with the fact that Frank is a man who has seen the world, it is still difficult for him to fool those farmers who have little knowledge. Not to mention the peasants, even many rich people in the city were fooled by him, not only joining the church, but also donating money.

Just yesterday, Frank had just held a preacheration in the village. More than 1,000 people came to participate. To attend a rally to hear his teachings preached, each was required to pay thirty-five dollars.

Deduct the food cost of 8 yuan per person, as well as the cost of renting the venue. Frank can have an income of 20,000 yuan.

This money was not used for his own personal expenses, but was used to build his doomsday base, or to buy various weapons and ammunition.

Mike drove Raymond for a long time, through a steep mountain road, through a woodland, and finally brought Raymond to the country where he said he lived.

It is a village with a population of only 1,000 people. The liveliest part of the street is the shopping street in the middle of the village, with about 20 shops, bars, clothing stores, petrol stations (and convenience stores) and a few small restaurants.

Raymond was amazed to find that everyone here knew Mike.

The two of them had just refueled at the gas station when someone recognized Mike, it was a very beautiful girl who was refueling, with brown hair and wheat-colored skin. With a pair of eyes wide and intent, she stared at Mike for a long time, and then suddenly exclaimed, "Mike!

As she spoke, the girl stopped cheering, then ran over and hugged Mike quickly, and kissed him several times on the face.

She didn't stop until Mike pushed her away. And the girl's cry attracted more attention.

"Is it really Mike?'s back?!"

"Oh, where is he?!"

"Ahhh

"Little bitch, when did Mike become yours!"

More and more people gathered around, and Raymond saw several girls fighting for Mike.

Wait, are all dead otaku? When did you become cash?!
