Compared to the survivor base in the previous post-apocalyptic dungeons, Base 1 in S City is much more chaotic.

There is a shortage of manpower everywhere, so naturally there is no extra energy to rectify law and order.

The survivors at the bottom can only hurt each other in order to survive, looting and stealing are not uncommon, Pei Ye and the three young people were targeted by several gangsters as soon as they entered the residential area, and dozens of pairs of greedy eyes looked at how to slaughter these three big fat sheep.

Even if the three of them didn't carry supplies, they could make a lot of money just by their looks and the clothes on them.

"It's only been more than a month since the apocalypse, and these humans have fallen like this, and there is no bottom line at all......" Gu Hanshuang grabbed a thief who deliberately bumped into him with one hand, the latter was also a ruthless person, and when he saw that he was caught, he directly showed a dagger and stabbed him. His movements were fast, but Gu Hanshuang's movements were even faster, he snatched the dagger and threw it aside, and then raised his foot to kick the thief so that he couldn't stand upright, and warned in a cold voice, "Get out! I'll kill you if I come again!" After speaking, his eyes swept fiercely over the other pretenders one by one, silently warning.

Pei Ye looked at the thief who struggled to get up and staggered away, and shook his head.

"Warm and full of thoughts***** hunger and cold steal hearts, human nature is like this. ”

Survival is threatened and there is no external constraint, and people's moral bottom line can be constantly broken through the lower limit.

For most ordinary people, their moral bottom line is positively related to the environment.

The better the environment, the higher the moral bottom line.

The worse the environment, the lower the moral bottom line.

Thinking of this, Pei Ye misses the super-intelligent Taihao even more.

The bottom line of maximizing the allocation of resources, mobilizing manpower, and restraining survivors will not lead to a glimmer of hope.

The survivor base in front of him can't be said to be poorly managed, but his energy and ability are limited, so he can only barely maintain the safety of the base, so that ordinary people can get a moment of respite here, and they can't take care of it more. Ordinary people live in this environment, and they either degenerate to oppress weaker ordinary people and seize their survival resources, or they are bullied to the point that they cannot survive.

Between being oppressed and being oppressed, many people choose to fall into the oppressive side.

"This thief probably won't survive. ”

Gu Chaoyan frowned, thinking that Pei Ye was sympathizing with the thief.

"Even if you can't survive, you can't steal people's things, right? If the three of us are really ordinary survivors, and the only resources we have are stolen by thieves, we can survive in this environment? Sympathizing with such people is a waste of time and life. ”

"I mean, he's probably not going to survive when he goes back. ”

Gu Hanshuang didn't have the strength to die, but how to say that he was also a strengthened "new human", ordinary people were kicked by him, even if the internal organs were not bleeding, they had to hum and chirp for two or three days, their stomachs were bruised, and the thief's wrist was twisted, which made it even worse......

In the last days of the collapse of the production system, medicine is a luxury more precious than food, let alone doctors.

The end of the thief was predictable.

Gu Chaoyan rolled his eyes: "That has nothing to do with us, he deserves it." ”

Gu Hanshuang was still too merciful.

If she had taken her place, this thief would have no chance to show his dagger at all, and he would have died a long time ago!

Along the way, five or six waves of roadblocks who tried to rob money, rob sex, force buy and sell, and collect protection money, and finally contacted the intermediary.

The intermediary industry can survive tenaciously even in the last days.

Clever intermediaries directly join forces with the largest black forces in the vicinity, forcibly occupy or buy ordinary people's houses at a low price, renovate them, and rent them out at a high price. Ordinary survivors dare not speak out, and even if they report it to the top, no one will come to deal with it.

The living conditions of ordinary survivors can be imagined.

Not long after, an intermediary in a suit and leather shoes came to take Pei Ye and the three of them to see the house.

Halfway through, he also ran into Ye Bufan, who came to find a place to stay, Pei Ye ignored the suspicious eyes of Gu Hanshuang's brothers and sisters, and opened his mouth to invite him to join: "Why don't you go and see the shared house for a few days?" You and Gu Hanshuang have one room, and I have one room with Chaoyan, which can save a lot." ”

Ye Bufan looked at her with strange eyes, as if to say, "You tease me"?

The intermediary also chuckled contemptuously.

Ye Bufan asked her: "Do you know how terrifying the house price of the No. 1 Survivor Base is?"

"No matter how terrifying the house price is, it won't be able to rent two small rooms, right?" Pei Ye really didn't have much concept of this, in the previous doomsday dungeon, the accommodation was all covered by the official base, "If you can't afford to rent it, then sleep in the open air, and you will be able to deal with it for a few days." ”

Yes, it turned out to be the master who does not eat the fireworks of the world.

Ye Bufan simply closed the microphone.

Soon Pei Ye understood the meaning of his words.

The cheapest "house" in the entire residential area is a "coffin room" made of iron cages, old wood, and discarded stones, which is small in size and can only accommodate an adult of normal height to lie in.

Lying flat, his chest only a distance from the bed board on the top bunk is only an upper arm's distance.

A small single room less than three meters high and only about 10 square meters has actually piled up more than a dozen or twenty such "coffin rooms" up and down! Because there are too many people and few toilets, and the water is extremely tight, there are toilets in each room that are physiologically convenient, and some toilets even have broken lids, and at a casual glance, you can see that the dung heap that has piled up more than half of it is crawling with dense white maggots.

As soon as the intermediary opened one of the rooms, the various stenches that came from his nose almost sent Ye Bufan away.

"Look at this one. ”

Leaning sideways, Pei Ye and a few others can see the layout of the house.

There were a few survivors lying inside.

Their expressions were blank, their eyes were cloudy, and they were full of foul smell, looking like they didn't look like a living person, but like a numb corpse.

The agent said: "This room is in a good location, there are windows for ventilation, there are four vacant seats connected together, do you rent four of them?"

Pei Ye asked him: "How is the rent calculated?"

The intermediary thought there was a play, so he said: "It's not expensive, it's only 300 contribution points a month, if the four of you rent it together, I can also give you some discounts here, a ninety-fifty discount." Don't think it's expensive, it's expensive. Now the security environment is so bad, we have spent money to hire a strong security team for the safety of our tenants, and safety comes first. ”

Pei Ye looked at Ye Bufan.

Ye Bufan shook his head with her.

Pei Ye said: "We plan to look at other places. ”

The intermediary who was still kind just now immediately changed his face and smiled gloomily.

"Makoto, look around and shop around. ”

He slammed the door shut, and dust fell from the doorframe.

Ye Bufan sighed: "When I came to find a rent, I investigated, and ordinary adults here earn 30-50 contribution points when they work twelve hours a day." Food and water to meet the minimum survival needs cost 20 contribution points a day, which is too dark. However, ordinary survivors can't rent these houses, these agents will hire thugs to maintain law and order, and there are no other places, which is more chaotic and dangerous. ”

Many ordinary survivors have not yet covered the contribution points earned by working for a day, and they may be robbed halfway through.

It's okay to be robbed, but I'm afraid of being killed.

Ye Bufan didn't see a lot of corpses lying motionless in the corner on the road.

Some are stiff, some are freshly spotted, and some are stinking and rotting......

If it had been more than a month ago, these survivors would not have imagined that a month later they would be such a prison on earth.

Before the end of the world, he resented God's injustice to him, resentful of the pressure of life overwhelmed him, and wanted to live no longer, but when he really fell into a desperate situation, he found that the days of running and struggling for a livelihood were already rare for ordinary people.

He sighed lightly, "Are you really sure?"

If you can go back to be a courier, even if you are complained by customers every day, you will admit it.

Pei Ye said: "Naturally." ”

The Gu Hanshuang brothers and sisters glanced at each other, not knowing what kind of dumb riddle they were playing.

Just when Pei Ye was worried about how to solve the accommodation problem, the official people from the base found her.

Still an acquaintance, the captain of the rescue team.

Their purpose is also very direct, hoping to hire Pei Yedang's defense department consultant at Base 1.

"Can you help with accommodation?"

The captain was a little embarrassed: "Yes, yes, but the environmental treatment will not be too good." ”

A small single room of seven or eight square meters, with an independent bathroom, and the food can be solved in the public canteen.

With Pei Ye's brilliant performance in escorting the rescue team, the first three months of food and accommodation were free.

Pei Ye breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Compared with the "coffin room" that the intermediary took to see just now, the official treatment is simply the supreme VIP level.
