Chapter 249: This Is Not Heaven
The bustling city gate is full of people moving back and forth, although it is not as spectacular as the scene during the Spring Festival, but it is also rare in the last days of this withering population, Chen Guangda and others are somewhat unaccustomed to this kind of liveliness, and the feeling of being bumped around is like time and space disorder, as if they have returned to the tourist attractions of the past overnight.
"Oh, this is your new ID card, and you will rely on it to enter and exit the city gate in the future......"
Wei Kongkong suddenly ran out of a registration room, holding a stack of brand-new documents in his hand, Chen Guangda took them very curiously and looked at them, these documents were actually over-plastic, not only with the headshot they had just taken, but also with height, weight and physical characteristics, but the signature was "temporary resident ID card of the first resettlement camp".
"This is the remaining gold coupon, and it cost more than 500 yuan to pay taxes and dot money......
Wei Kongkong handed over a stack of change again, the people here no longer call the money RMB, but call it "golden coupons" according to the name of the place, but Chen Guangda shook his head very disgustingly, and knocked more than 500 yuan before entering the city, this is still the result of Wei Kongkong finding a relationship and paying a lot of less taxes, if you follow the rules, I am afraid it will have to be doubled.
"Let's go! the goods have been arranged......"
Wei Kongkong quietly glanced at Ambassador Chen Guang, Chen Guangda subconsciously looked at the checkpoint next to him, the materials they did not exchange had been filled with six board trucks, and several inspectors were meticulously checking with metal detectors, but Chen Guangda found that their detectors were not turned on at all.
"Ha~ It's easy to do things anywhere you have money......"
Chen Guangda laughed with mockery on his face, waved his hand and led everyone to the city gate, Yang Hao and the others also hurriedly ran up to help those coolies push the goods, but a young officer suddenly walked out with a few sentries, stopped them directly and said, "Check the goods on the car for me again!"
"Haha~ Sir, I don't think you need to bother, I've just checked it very carefully......"
The officer clearly came to fight the autumn wind, Wei Kongkong hurriedly ran over and handed over a stack of bills, which also contained a few blue ten-yuan gold coupons, but who knew that the officer directly pulled out the gold coupons, held them in his hand and asked with a sneer: "What do you mean by this? Do you want to bribe me in public?"
"Oops~ I'm so sorry! I have so many things in my hand that I have all the money in it......"
Wei Kongkong's head turned quite quickly, and he hurriedly took a few golden coupons and stuffed them into his pocket, but he knew in his heart that this guy could not be sent away for dozens of yuan, but he just wanted to signal Chen Guangda to increase the weight, but Chen Guangda said with a smile: "Governors, just check, we are all good citizens who abide by the law!"
"Uh~"
Wei Kongkong looked at Chen Guangda in surprise, they had more than 20 guns in the cargo, and the most fatal thing was three bazookas, if they were found out, they would definitely be shot, but Chen Guangda secretly glanced at him, and his head was slightly tilted to the back.
Wei Kongkong immediately looked in the direction he pointed, only to see a group of inspectors glaring at the young officers angrily, and the young officers were also staring at them domineeringly, Wei Kongkong immediately understood, it turned out that this was their own people engaged in internal strife, and their own group of unlucky eggs were all pond fish who were affected.
"Wang Yan, what the fuck do you mean, why do you still check the things we have checked, and you are looking for ballast here......
A black-faced inspector suddenly strode over, seeing that the armband he was wearing should still be a squad leader, but the officer Wang Yan put his hands behind his back and said contemptuously: "Do I need to report to you if I want to find out? It is the duty of our public security brigade to check any suspicious objects, if you are not happy, you can go to our leaders to complain, but now please let us go, we have to fulfill our responsibilities!"
"Unload all the goods for the officers to inspect, and open all the boxes......"
Chen Guangda waved his hand without hesitation, and a group of coolies had no choice but to prepare to unload the goods, but his calm appearance made Wang Yan frown slightly, and suddenly pointed to the two board cars behind him that were about to exit, and shouted: "Stop them for me, and don't let any of them go!"
There was a burst of chickens and dogs jumping in the city gate cave, and a few guys who were thieves actually ran away, Wang Yan actually took out his gun and raised his hand to put down one, and the remaining few people immediately knelt on the ground in a daze, and in the blink of an eye, they were pressed to the ground by a group of fierce sentinels, and they were beaten with a head and face.
"Bring them to me......"
Wang Yan rushed to the side of the cart with a fierce momentum, and directly tore open the bottom few large cardboard boxes, who knew that the weapons and ammunition were not found, but several bags of transparent crystals like monosodium glutamate were exposed, Wang Yan picked a little bit and tasted it with his tongue, and immediately sneered at the gang: "You dare to sell drugs, you rabbit cubs will wait for me to die!"
"Look at the hair, it's going to be dog-eat-dog soon......"
Chen Guangda saw all this in his eyes, the face of the captain of the inspection team was already darker than the bottom of the pot, Wang Yan was here to trouble him today, but Chen Guangda was too lazy to watch the excitement, waved his hand and slowly led everyone away.
"My brother, where did you get your confidence? Do you know that there is a problem with those guys in the back, or do you have any other countermeasures......
Wei Kongkong secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and a little black face was about to turn into a little white face, but Chen Guangda said with a smile: "I have a fart countermeasure, I let the coolies unload just to facilitate the gun, if they really go up to check on us, they will go straight to work, who is afraid of who these days!"
“……”
Wei Kongkong was instantly stunned, looking at Chen Guangda like looking at a monster, he knew what a real outlaw was today, and he dared to come hard under the heavy surrounding, and Zhu Fei followed and said: "Don't think that more people are great, their guards are relatively lazy, and they will definitely not be able to react within a minute of the gunshot, and we will already run away by then!"
"Don't say it! I don't dare to dance at night......"
Wei Kongkong was sweating profusely and crying with a sad face, he didn't expect that he would actually walk in front of the ghost gate, but Chen Guangda and the others looked at the surrounding scenery very leisurely, this place was obviously overloaded with population, with the design of this place, it could only accommodate twenty or thirty thousand people at most, but it was crammed into more than 100,000 people.
The first impression of the Golden City is that it is crowded, like a can stuffed with sardines, almost everywhere there are simple prefabricated houses and tin houses, and even the hillsides on both sides are covered with broken houses, and there are no beds in the houses at all, all of them are paved with wooden planks and cardboard shells, which is a good interpretation of the concept of "tiles to cover the head".
Just like the champion sniper said before, the Golden City is definitely not a paradise, and it is even very unworthy of its name, the vast majority of people here are yellow-skinned, tattered clothes, and the twilight is almost like a walking corpse, and the lively bragging of visiting relatives and friends can not be heard around at all, and some are all "hungry, hungry" ** sounds, like a magic spell that constantly destroys people's mood.
A group of people all stopped talking, their mine town is a paradise compared to this, the people of the mine town sleep on the road for recreation and indulgence, and the people here sleep on the road because they are hungry and can't walk, many people lying on the side of the road can't tell whether they are people or corpses, all of them have belly bulges like starvation, and it looks like they have been filled with too much water.
"The beggars here are the real beggars......"
Chen Guangda sighed faintly, there were almost groups of people on both sides of the road holding bowls to ask for food, but no one cared about them at all, and there were even many young girls and young women, but the prostitutes here are probably also scarce resources, and the imbalance between men and women is more serious than where they are, and it is estimated that there is still a surplus for one person to marry three wives.
"More than 120,000 people, even if each person only eats half a catty of rice every day, it will be a full 60,000 catties, and there is simply not so much food to feed them......"
Wei Kongkong, who was touched by the sadness of the scene, also sighed, and said helplessly: "There are six disaster relief sheds here in the slums, but they are only open to women and children under the age of forty, and the rest of the men or old people have to figure out their own way, but I think receiving relief food is the most fucked up, two bowls of gruel hanging your life every day, it is even more uncomfortable than death!"
"I can understand the difficulties of the leaders here, it is really difficult to raise so many people......
Chen Guangda sighed very sincerely, almost all the places around where there is land are planted with grain and vegetables, and there are even soldiers with loaded guns patrolling back and forth, obviously the food has reached the point of precariousness, if he is replaced as a leader, he will definitely have two heads and two big heads.
"Alas~ It's hell on earth......"
Yang Hao suddenly sighed heavily, and actually took out a bag of biscuits and walked towards a little girl, but Wei Kongkong grabbed him and said urgently: "Don't give them anything, otherwise all the beggars around will come over, and you won't be able to leave if you want to, and they will rob you of your things if you are in a hurry, and it is useless to call the police!"
"Alas~ what kind of world......"
Yang Hao had no choice but to put away the food, and everyone unconsciously began to speed up their pace, and after they turned a corner quickly, the magnificent sea and beach immediately appeared in front of them, but it was not a beautiful golden sand beach for a long time, not only was a wall not too high built on the beach, but even the back was densely covered with houses, and a strange smell of body odor and excrement mixed could be smelled from a distance.
"Why are you building a wall on the beach, is there anything coming up in the sea......?"
Chen Guangda looked at Wei Kongkong with puzzlement, and Wei Kongkong immediately said exaggeratedly: "Don't be too scary about things in the sea, okay, have you ever seen a mutated whale?" Even the intestines can pop out to attack people, and there is only one way for a small fishing boat to run into them, and I heard those navies say that there are even more terrifying big guys, and even warships can overturn them!"
"Is anyone still fishing......
Chen Guangda looked at the dock in the distance suspiciously, there were at least hundreds of ships of all kinds docked there, and there were many people going in and out of the ship, but in the sea not far from the dock, there was also a smoky gray destroyer, Chen Guangda didn't know how advanced this thing was, but looking at the weapons crisscrossing its deck, it was definitely not a problem for it to bombard the Golden City.
"Of course! Crustaceans and shells are virus-free, and there are many marine plants that can be eaten, so even if the sea is very dangerous, there are many people who are willing to try their luck in the sea, and a lobster is now sold for 30 yuan......
Wei Kongkong rubbed his hands a little covetously, and Chen Guangda nodded and continued to walk forward, but who knew that the front suddenly became quiet, not only was there no messy dilapidated tin house, but the beggars who were connected to the shoulders were also gone, but there was a large row of girls hanging cardboard on the side of the road.
"me, sell yourself......"
Everyone walked over and was immediately shocked, it turned out that the girls were wearing signboards around their necks, either selling themselves for the first time, or selling themselves as a whole, and all kinds of educational heights and measurements were also clearly written, completely like a slave market posture.
