Chapter 208: The World Goes Down
This time, Luo Xun and the others were driving a big truck, plus a small truck from the past, and the big truck was not the red ones that were recently recovered, but the one that was lost outside the glass factory when they changed cars in the glass factory, and then picked up at home. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info first oh dear
Although the car is in tatters, it can still be used after a slight metal modification. In addition to some metal devices such as broken shelves, everyone also put some dead wood that can be used as firewood, empty paint buckets collected from small workshops, and broken tables, chairs, and benches in the school. There weren't many things, but when they were piled up in the corners of the car at night, the metal walls of the carriage were unraveled, revealing the bedding, pillows, food, and so on.
The floors of the two trucks were still much thicker than normal, and of course they were hiding vegetables and other things they had brought out.
After a night, the group came to the gate of the southwest base early the next morning. Register, enter the base, sweep personal backpacks and other things, and open the door to be checked.
The people who got on the car to check this time were obviously much more meticulous than when they went back to the base a few times before, obviously Luo Xun and their cars were a bunch of broken things, they still took away an empty paint bucket and a few pieces of wood, and He Qiankun and the others in the truck almost didn't quarrel with those who got on the car to check. The last few people who checked looked at each other with contempt and said, "Give it back to you? Okay, don't go into the base if you return it! What a thing, it's rare to be a Lao Tzu! ”
Every time they enter the base, everyone has to pay five crystal nuclei, not to mention, the people who check the carriage after entering the base have to take something by the hand, and Luo Xun and they have seen with their own eyes that there are really people at the gate of the base who are blocked outside and are not allowed to enter because they are unwilling to "offer" to this group of people.
"Really, who are they?!"
"The base wasn't like this before, why are these people getting more and more **?"
The crowd complained as they drove their cars to places where they could exchange supplies, and another reason they entered the base this time was to buy salt, the most important seasoning that families need to pickle vegetables, cook, and handle air-dried meat.
When they came to the exchange office to exchange their things, they were hit twice again.
Originally, after the first wave of zombies passed this year, due to the new political power, the rotten atmosphere in the original base was completely replaced, resulting in a great change in the atmosphere of many departments facing the public, and the attitude of all staff has become many times more enthusiastic than before. But now? The people who are really responsible for dealing with these exchange work once again pull up a "uncle" face, and the staff who are responsible for guiding outside will often first pull the people who want to handle the business to sell their private business, if you want to change things, they will say that there is a private exchange door, and the price is not known to be how much to calculate than the exchange from here, and try every means to get the people who come here to go.
There is Luo Xun, when a person in charge of guiding them pulled them around, Luo Xun simply refused, turned his head and went directly to the relevant window to exchange goods - he was stupid and crazy to go with these people, God knows what strange place he will be taken to? After I went, I was robbed and forcibly exchanged crystal nuclei with rotten things. It's better to find a fixed stall on the street to exchange things!
From the exchange window, they exchanged as much as possible for daily necessities such as gasoline and salt in their personal capacity, and spent a large amount of crystal nuclei to buy some solar panels and batteries before returning to their cars.
After loading things into the car, they contacted the team that needed to buy vegetables, and agreed on a place to meet, Luo Xun moved the fresh vegetables to the place, and handed over the dried vegetables hidden under the floor of the pickup truck to Xu Mei and a few people, and asked them to take them to the market to see if they could exchange them for something - the shelf life of fresh vegetables is very problematic, so Luo Xun and they will directly dry and collect the vegetables that they can't eat, or use them as stews when cooking, or keep them to eat when they go out, or leave them until now and bring them back to the base to see how the sales are.
Not long after, the people who wanted to buy vegetables came over, and the two people who arrived first talked and laughed with Luo Xun and them, chatting for about five minutes, and one of them said with a smile: "I want a lot of vegetables this time, we just bought a lot of things in the car and can't fit them, why don't you help send us the things?" It's not far away, it's in the neighborhood over there. ”
Luo Xun also had a smiling expression on his face, and spit out two words very kindly: "No." ”
The two were stunned for a moment, and before they could say anything, Luo Xun continued to smile and said to the two: "You put the things back first, and then come over to pull them, I'll leave you half an hour, and then several groups of people will come to buy it, if it exceeds half an hour, I'm really embarrassed." As he spoke, he spread his hands and smiled regretfully at the two, "The dish will not be sold for a long time." ”
The expressions of the two changed for a moment, and their eyes restlessly looked left and right at the people passing by the roadside, this is a crossroads, and there is a lot of traffic.
Yan Fei pinched a piece of metal without moving, and when the two of them looked left and right and then put their eyes back on Luo Xun and the two, they saw that the round metal in Yan Fei's hand had just turned into something like a sharp dagger at some point.
The two of them glanced at each other, and smiled at Luo Xun and them in embarrassment: "Let's go back to unload things first, come back in a while, and come back in a while." ”
Seeing that the two of them hurriedly ran into the flow of people and disappeared, Luo Xun deleted the person's contact information with a regretful face, and wrote down a note in his notebook: "There is another team missing." ”
The fool couldn't see what the two men had in mind, maybe their original team had been disbanded, or maybe the original team that the man had left. Whatever the reason, it is unlikely that they will be able to contact the two men again to make a deal.
After that, the team that came over didn't buy all of Luo Xun's vegetables, but fortunately, Luo Xun expected this situation, and directly opened a few boxes to put the dishes out, and many passers-by bought a lot of them in a catty or half a catty, and they were sold one after another after a while.
After selling the vegetables, Luo Xun called and contacted others, Xu Mei and they were still exchanging dried vegetables for things, and by the way, they also found a vacant stall to prepare to dispose of these dried vegetables. Others are either shopping or changing things.
After discussing the time of the meeting in the afternoon, Luo Xun also packed up his baggage and went shopping with Yan Fei to the market, and if he saw something that might be needed at home, he would change some back if the price was right.
By the time we met in the afternoon, we had found a lot of things.
Salt, solar panels, batteries, clothes and shoes for the little girl, and dried vegetables that Xu Mei and the others took away were all sold out.
"Captain, our dried vegetables are selling well, many people asked us when they could buy them, and I said that they might come to the market to sell them at the beginning of next month." Xu Mei smiled and shook the bag containing the crystal nucleus in her hand, and pointed to the books in the backpack on the side, "We also exchanged vegetables for a set of elementary school textbooks, and a few junior high school and high school books, just for Xinran!" In the future, it will also be able to be used for small buns. ”
Although you have found a lot of books, you haven't gotten many textbooks for children to use and learn, but you have got a lot of composition reference books, Olympiad reference books, etc., but those things always have to have a foundation to understand, right?
He Qiankun took out a large bag of pens: "When we were shopping just now, we saw someone selling this, and it took a second-level crystal nucleus to wrap it all for them." ”
"Also, we just saw someone selling jerky on the side of the road, I don't know what kind of mutated animal meat it is made of, do we want to bring some bacon or something to sell next time?" Wu Xin said to everyone with bright eyes.
Luo Xun didn't really suggest it, and frowned: "This is not easy to sell, right?" Meat can be sold, but it is too troublesome to sell, and many people dare not buy it at all - especially when it is made into a finished product, even if it looks normal, it is difficult to guarantee that some people will suspect the origin of the meat...... "Although the meat of zombie animals is very different from the meat of normal, mutated animals, there are still many people who are worried that they will buy fake meat. Even if they do want to buy it, most people love to buy fresh, freshly killed meat from mutated animals.
Dried vegetables don't sell well without fresh vegetables for the same reason - others are not sure if your vegetables have done anything before drying, so naturally they don't dare to buy them easily, and today they are bringing a relatively small number of vegetables, otherwise how can they be sold out so quickly?
Everyone sighed in unison, this is also a helpless thing, unless they can open a grocery store for a long time and they can provide a long-term supply, otherwise who can guarantee that every time they come to the base to sell something, they can sell it?
After counting the things, everyone loaded the things they had exchanged for and prepared to leave the base.
When they arrived at the gate of the base again, they found that there were many notices posted on the walls - all newly posted.
After taking a closer look, Luo Xun and Yan Fei exchanged glances, registered, and left the base. It wasn't until it was dark and encamped in the place where they had stayed last time far from the base that everyone mentioned it.
"Just now, when we left the base, we saw a new notice posted by the base." Luo Xun stood by the fire and washed his hands and explained, "It says that all the teams are not allowed to leave the base after the eighth day of this month. If there is a squad that is going out, be sure to rush back before the eighth. ”
"Why?" Wang Duo, whose mind had not turned, blurted out.
Zhang Su beside him held his cheeks with one hand and glanced at him: "Zombie tide." ”
"Yes, the zombie tide will arrive near here in about two weeks, we and the southwest base may be within the range of their advance, and the base can also receive satellite photos to predict the route of the zombie tide, and after the 8th, no one will be allowed to go out of the base to prepare in advance, and when the zombie tide arrives, it will be almost ready." Luo Xun said, sighed slightly, turned his head and looked at everyone with a smile, "This time, let's spend this zombie tide in our base to see if we can hold it and if there will be any problems." ”
"Good!"
"Our stuff is in the new base, what are we going to do back there?"
"That's right, there will be no accidents in our bases, and they are all prepared in advance."
There were only a dozen of them, and the base area was not large, and they didn't know the lethality of those mutated plants. I don't know if there will be any problems in the face of the zombie tide. This is an opportunity to put them to the test, to test the best practices of their new base. Fortunately, the number of this wave of zombies is small, as long as they are not tightly surrounded and simply pass by, they will pass in a day or two.
