The Free Market was formed spontaneously by the survivors, in an open space at the exit of an underground parking garage, where many ordinary survivors with no abilities set up stalls. Replace the things you didn't bring out for useful things, and there are also people with abilities and brave survivors who get things from the outside and exchange them here for things you need.

Chen Rui and the weekends had heard people talk about a lot of things in the free market, but they had been busy for the past two days and had not been there. Walking along the route towards the free market, the sun was already shining, but it was still morning, and the temperature had not yet risen to the highest level of the day.

The closer you get to the free market, the more people there are, and the survivors hurry by, and it is much more lively than the other places in the base that are just doing tasks, and there are more and more people on the free market, and the military has arranged a team of 20 soldiers to patrol. The patrolling soldiers were heavily armed, and anyone who made trouble in the free market or even at the base was shot in wartime order.

So the order of the free market is not bad, but the free market has already sprung up the business of pimping in various states, those beautiful and skinny beauties, handsome teenagers, a little blatantly beckoning to those who pass by and are obviously able to consume, some people ask for a pack of biscuits, some people only need a coarse grain steamed bun, and some people only need half a piece of ......

Chen Rui and Zhou Zhou looked cleanly dressed and ruddy, and they didn't look like they were incapable, but if they didn't have the ability after the end of the world, they were already yellow and thin, and they were embarrassed. These two young people who are walking towards the free market are either too hard in the background, or they are very strong, and they must have food in their hands, so they are naturally frequently blocked by these customers on the road.

Needless to say, Chen Rui has experienced his previous life on the weekend, and he is quite wary of both women and men, and he will not pay precious food for a moment of refreshment, which is the behavior of a fool. You must know that people who are in the last days have not tasted the kind of hunger that they can't wait to eat themselves to fill their stomachs, so they are very concerned about food on the weekend, and it is really not easy to dig a bite out of his mouth.

"Brother Chen's side is full of people, it's very lively," said the weekend as he watched the noisy free market.

It's a lot bigger than you might expect on the weekend, each stall is small, only about a square meter or two, and behind the stall is the stall owner, who has a stone or a small stool, and the almost stall owner sits directly on the rocky floor, not caring about the image at all. Near the entrance to the free market is a stall selling water, and he doesn't let people trade food for anything, as long as he can see something, you can take as much of the water as he estimates.

After a glance at the weekend, he and Chen Rui walked towards the free market, these small stalls really have pots and pans, mirrors, toilet water, nail clippers, ear clippers, razors, kitchen knives, washing powder, soap and the like, and even children's toys, adult products, cosmetics, all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, etc...... There was no food, not even a whole grain cake with pickles.

The two of them went around, and finally stopped at a stall selling clothes, where there were a lot of sleeveless short-sleeved T-shirts and shirts and the like, and after squatting down and looking at the size, he asked the stall owner: "Are there any long-sleeved T-shirts and casual pants of one meter eighty-five or the like, and thicker autumn and winter clothes are also fine, things should be good, are there any?" ”

"One meter eighty-five, I have it here, but I don't accept corpse crystals and don't want anything else, I want food. Any food that can fill the stomach can be exchanged, a suit of clothing can be exchanged for a day's ration, and nothing else can be exchanged. The middle-aged man looked at the weekend and Chen Rui said with some hesitation.

I heard that the other party asked for food over the weekend, and now it is clear how short of food there is in the base The weekend, in addition to a small number of mutant beasts from the entire new base, the military also got some food from the zombies outside. But that is a drop in the bucket for the more and more survivors who are coming, and the new base is still very dependent on the food of the old base, which is also a matter of no choice.

Since the first day of the new base provided free food, the base at this time will not provide any food for free, and now to enter the new base that has begun to take shape, you have to collect one-third of the food they brought.

The military also has no choice, there are a lot of people in the army, and every day they either build a base or go to Ningxiang County to strangle zombies. And most of the grain in Ningxiang County has been included in the old base, even if they look for and search, it is limited, to supply five or six thousand mouths, the old general is really about to turn gray, in order to prevent the people from the old base from controlling the new base, he has tried his best to get rid of the old base.

And more and more survivors come to the new base, at present, the new base has been arranging people in the underground parking lot, but since the day before yesterday, the new base has been open for rent, Xu bold people and strangers follow the army to Ningxiang County to kill zombies, obtain corpse crystals, come to rent a house to live, the underground parking lot will not be supplied for free after the completion of the new base, and it will be developed and rented out at that time, and it will take huge materials and manpower to maintain an expanding base.

On the weekend, he touched the clothes on the stall and said: "It's not impossible to exchange food for food, but these things can't be good, the quality is not good enough, it's rough and too thin, the sleeveless ones can't be worn out at all now, the shirt is very inconvenient to move, do you have any other better, long-sleeved sportswear or winter clothes?" ”

It is also a bit particular to squat in this stall on weekends, although the quality of these clothes is a little worse, but they are brand new, and the packaging has not been opened. On the weekend, when there are such conditions, I don't want to wear the kind of clothes that I don't know where I got the president. Naturally, it's better to be brand new, and the president has a slight cleanliness fetish, in fact, the weekend is not it. He can't bear the food, isn't there still a mutant beast, that thing can be caught at any time.

What's more, there are mutant locusts caught by hairballs in his space, that thing doesn't taste very good, and it's weird and disgusting to look at, but it's still a mutant insect, even if it's unpalatable, it can still fill the stomach, for the last days, anything that can fill the stomach and won't be poisoned, it's an excellent thing, and it can't be wasted.

When the middle-aged man heard the words of the weekend, his eyes lit up, and he immediately lowered his voice and said, "Yes, as long as you are willing to exchange it for food, I will take you to pick what you need now." ”

"Okay, now you can take us over to pick, if there is a pick, we will follow the set of one-day rations you said before," the weekend nodded in agreement, Chen Rui on the side was not in a hurry at all, in fact, as long as you go to the merchant ships in the surrounding counties to rummage around, you can always find it, but since you have this intention on the weekend, Chen Rui will naturally not refuse stupidly.

The middle-aged man beckoned a stall owner to help him take a look at the stall, and led the two of them through the bustling crowd towards the distant parking lot. They live in the underground parking garage at night, and they can also cool off there during the day, but there is no interval in the underground parking garage, and the finances can't be kept at all, and someone moves things in, and as a result, they are stolen when they fall asleep at night, and the soldiers in the base don't have time to take care of this at this time.

So financial things and the like, after many people put them in the car, let their families guard them during the day, but don't worry about it at night, the stranger generally won't steal their ordinary people's things, plus ordinary people don't dare to come out at night, and they won't put food in the car, they won't risk their lives to steal, not to mention that there are soldiers patrolling the parking lot at night, which is much safer than putting it in the parking lot underneath.

On the weekend, Chen Rui and Chen Rui quickly followed the middle-aged man to the parking lot, although it was hot and sweaty, but for the little money they had, many people took cloths or cardboard to cover the side of the car, and took things to sit on the ground. If the conditions are better, they will fan again, and they will almost fan the wind with a book or cardboard or something, but in fact, even if they fan the wind in such weather, it will be hot.

The middle-aged stall owner took them to a van on the weekend, and a middle-aged woman and a little boy of six or seven years old were sitting in the shade covered with a tarpaulin, and there were four or five people, including old people, children, and women, who were supposed to be guarding the contents of the van, even if they were really worthless.

The middle-aged man seemed to be very familiar with these people, and after saying hello, he brought Zhou Zhou and Chen Rui into their small circle, opened the door of the van, and the man said to Zhou Zhou: "I took out all the clothes of that size, you look at the pick, anyway, one set is the price, I still have some winter clothes in the car, do you want to ......"

On the weekend, he naturally nodded and told middle-aged people that as long as it was suitable, whether it was winter clothes or summer clothes, they wanted them.

The two didn't stand for long, and the middle-aged man came out with a large stack of clothes, and when he opened it on the weekend, he saw that they were all sportswear and the like, and they were all brand goods with long sleeves and short sleeves. He touched the fabric and it was okay, it was soft and transparent, and it was definitely comfortable to wear. While checking on the weekend, the middle-aged man got back into the car and quickly fished out a few winter coats, all of which were mid-length down jackets and padded clothes.

I looked at the size over the weekend, all of them were suitable for the president, and a few of them were still large in size 1.9 meters, and I didn't say anything, just wear warm and don't be small. On the weekend, he tied up these dozen sets of sportswear, plus these winter clothes, all of them with ropes for the middle-aged man, and then said: "You went to the house with us to get food, and you didn't bring it when you came out, but there were a lot of corpse crystals on you." ”

After a few people on the side heard the words of the weekend, an old man immediately said: "Young man, you exchange food, I don't have any clothes here but shoes, all of them are sneakers, and the size is big enough, do you want to take a look, I don't want more, just a pair of shoes and a ration." ”

After hearing this on the weekend, he turned his head to look at the gray-haired old man who was already sixty or seventy on the side, nodded and said, "If there is a fit, you can do it, Brother Chen, how many sizes do you wear?" ”

Then the old man opened their off-road car, the back of the car was all loaded with shoes, rummaging for a while, the old man took out five pairs of shoes, these shoes were his son and grandson risked their lives, went to Ningxiang County to find, now there are fewer and fewer things there, all the survivors who can be used will bring back, even if they can't change food, it is good to be able to exchange some water.

On the weekend, he took the stool handed by the old man and asked the president to sit down and try it on, and finally the president picked a pair of sneakers and a pair of sneakers, and asked the old man to follow him over on the weekend. However, the old man shook his head and sighed that he was too old to walk, so he asked his fourteen-year-old grandson to go to the weekend house with the middle-aged man to get food.

It was close to noon, the temperature was getting warmer, the number of people in the free market had decreased considerably, and some stall owners couldn't stand the heat and shrunk things back. Only the stall that sells water is particularly good, the base has free water, but the amount is limited, and the water is not so clear and sweet, the water condensed by the ability tastes sweet, and it is clean, but anyone who is stronger and has a little ability will choose to buy the ability water with corpse crystals.

With the middle-aged man and the teenager, he returned home on the weekend four or five minutes later, asked the two to wait outside the door, and carried his things into the house on the weekend. A large piece of ice condensed in the bedroom cooled down, and asked the president to try on clothes, he picked up the dried locusts that were dried in the guest bedroom, but in a short time, the high temperature had made the dried locusts that had been cut into pieces remove a lot of water, as long as they were dried and ground into powder, it was the best food to fill the stomach.

Weekend came to the door with dried locusts, opened the door and said to the middle-aged man: "I can't measure the amount of food for you, this mutant locust was caught by us in the wasteland in the base, I have dried it almost, you roast it and grind it to the end, add a small spoon to the water cup, you can ensure that you are not hungry, this is the amount of ordinary people, the words of the supernatural will definitely not work." This locust is all powdered, it should be enough to eat for ten days and half a month, I'm giving you a few coarse cakes, how about ......"

"This, is it poisonous or not, I haven't eaten the meat of mutant beasts, and this insect can also make people full," the middle-aged man asked with some hesitation.

Mutant locusts have eaten a lot in the last life on the weekend, in addition to the bad taste, but it can indeed fill the stomach, it is good among insects after all, and it is not easy to catch one on the weekend in the previous life, but in this life he has not looked down on mutant locusts, but for ordinary survivors now, a mutant locust is definitely equivalent to half a month's ration.

Before the middle-aged man could speak, the young man who had been silent with him suddenly spoke: "Uncle Zhou, I know, this mutant locust can be eaten, and it is very full, so give me some mutant locusts." "The boy is quite smart, and the coarse grain cake looks not small, but it can't fill a person's stomach.

"Okay then," he gave a third of the mutated locusts to the young man on the weekend, and gave three four-tael coarse grain cakes to the middle-aged man, plus the two mutated jerky that he had originally made on the weekend, because the taste was not as good as the president's cooking, the weekend was considered a favor for the two. A coarse grain cake is a day's ration, plus mutant locusts, and two and a half catties of jerky, it is still a weekend generous, and these savings are enough for a middle-aged family of three to eat for more than ten days.

The middle-aged man had never eaten mutant beast meat, if it weren't for the boy, he would definitely not believe it, and now watching the boy stuff the mutant jerky and dried locusts into his pocket, looking worried about being snatched away, he was suspicious, maybe this thing is really good.

Soon the middle-aged man understood that what he said on the weekend was indeed true, that the locusts were roasted and ground into minced pieces, and half of the coarse grain cake was boiled in water to make a paste, and a spoonful of powder was added to make their family of four half-full, and the young people were enough to save them more than half a month. This made him very grateful for the weekend, and at the same time glad that he didn't refuse at that time, this business was too cost-effective, even the old Zhou Tou next door was smiling, that little thing was enough for their family to eat for a week, but it was just two pairs of shoes, can you not be happy!

After a simple lunch, Zhou Zhou and Chen Rui did not rest, although the ice cubes at home are much cooler than outside, but the two of them are definitely not people who will enjoy it. Weekend drove the car and the president towards the gate of the base, and when passing by the shed where Li Han worked, the weekend probe said hello to Li Han, but Li Han looked at Zhou Zhou and Chen Rui as if they were going out and immediately shouted.

Waiting for the brakes on the weekend, Li Han ran over and said: "When you go out on the weekend, go and find out if there are any mint leaves, you are looking for those mutated semi-wild plants, if you can find one, it is non-toxic after being determined by the wood-based ability, and you can exchange it for a lot of food, do you know this news?" ”

"I really don't know, thank you, Li Han." On the weekend, he said with a smile, he always felt that Li Han was a good person, and seeing that the other party had been sharing half of the base for so many days, instead of running to sell water by himself, he understood that Li Han not only had a good personality, but also could lose everyone's interests and help more people.

Li Han immediately smiled when he heard the weekend's thanks: "I know that you haven't been notified yet, Sun Yi and they went out too early and didn't get the news, the task sent out just half an hour ago, go out and be careful, I wish you good luck to find a few more plants, if you really find it, don't forget to treat you." ”

"No problem at all, then let's go Li Han first." He shook his hand at Li Han and stepped on the accelerator on the weekend and drove towards the gate of the base.

When they left the base, the two of them went through the license plate registration, and when they came back, they could pay one-third of the harvest to enter the base, otherwise they would have to pay the fees for the first time entering the base and parking spaces. There is no way, the construction of the base needs a lot of supernatural people, and there are too many places to use corpse crystals, and the military can't provide them at all, so they can only collect it from the people they protect, otherwise the base will soon be unable to operate.

Out of the gate of the base, they were quickly stopped by people on the weekend, and the weekend opened the window to look at the young man who stopped the car and said, "There is something, we don't take anyone." ”

"It's not that you misunderstood, you also went into the city to look for supplies, and so did we, it is dangerous to enter the city, and it is safer for us to have more people. And we go out of the base once a day, know which places the army has cleared the zombies, although the army has cleared some zombies, but it is much safer than not clearing, we will take you there, when the time comes the materials are four or six points, how, follow us and encounter very few zombies, although the materials have been collected by the army, but there are always fish that slip through the net. The young man kept foaming.

Looking at the president over the weekend, Chen Rui, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating, opened his eyes, glanced at the young man and said, "Well, we can go to Ningxiang County to have a look, and if the things are collected, we will go to the surrounding counties and cities," For Chen Rui, who is already a fourth-level earth ability, as long as he does not encounter hordes of zombies and mutant beasts outside the base, there is basically not much danger.

After hearing the president's words on the weekend, he turned to the young man in the car window and said, "Yes, let's go with you to have a look, if the situation is not good, you will leave, you will not object, right when to leave." ”

The young man immediately smiled when he saw the weekend promise: "Of course not, as long as the things are divided according to what we said, you can leave the team at any time, you are very lucky, our team is almost over, let's set off now, you can follow behind." ”

The young man soon took them to the convoy fifty or sixty meters away on the weekend, and sure enough, it was about the same as the young man said, there were already more than a dozen cars there. They had gathered at least forty or fifty people, and it was indeed much safer for so many people to get together and go to the place where the military had cleared the zombies to find something.

When the young man returned to the car, someone immediately quipped: "The kid is fooling well, we have a few more cannon fodder." ”

"Big brother, I look at their strength is not weak, maybe they can help us, don't keep talking about cannon fodder and cannon fodder, if they hear it, we won't be able to pull people behind the palace in the future." The young man glanced sideways at the man beside him and said, if it weren't for their lack of strength, they wouldn't have to be cautious about doing this.

Fortunately, they went out to choose a good place these days, even if there are fewer materials that can be found, there are dead people, but they have gained some gains, and they have made a little reputation in the base, if they let the people outside hear his eldest brother's words, who is willing to follow them out at that time, who will take the risk for their palace.

"Okay, okay, my brother is smart about you, can't you not say it if the eldest brother doesn't say it? If they die, they can only blame their bad luck, and our team is notoriously low in death. The man was disgusted by his younger brother, and finally restrained his expression and said seriously. Speaking of which, they find someone to follow behind, once they encounter danger, they can drive away first, and those behind can keep up, and if they can't keep up, they can only consider themselves unlucky, and they will not deliberately kill people. 166 Reading Network
