Chapter 680: The Ancient City
"Whew-"
took out two unopened cigarettes from his backpack and handed them to Xu Peng, without waiting for the other party to shirk it, Lin Cheng shook his head directly and said: "You can help us avoid queuing is already a great help, this layer of oil and water can no longer let you help us out, one you take to that Zhou skin, and the other can be regarded as a thank you gift for my help!" And ......"
Seeing that Xu Peng wanted to say something excitedly, Lin Cheng smiled lightly and waved his hand, motioning for him to listen to him, "I hope we can keep in touch after we enter the city, because as an outsider, I really need an authentic local who can take me to integrate here as soon as possible, of course, the reward is also indispensable to yours, can you?" ”
"When...... Absolutely! But don't mention Brother Lin for any reward, since you are San'er's eldest brother, then naturally you are my eldest brother, and you should help my eldest brother do things, and your payment is not equivalent to slapping me in the face! ”
After Lin Cheng finished speaking, Xu Peng nodded busily and replied, as an old fritter who has witnessed the rise of Pingcheng almost the whole time, he has seen countless masters, and even the high-level ability that he has undergone a physical examination himself has at least hundreds, and he also knows very well that the person who can make Chen Sanxing, who is even a little master, awe-inspiring, should at least have the strength of four and five stages, and those with this kind of strength have always looked at people with their nostrils according to what he has seen. How can there be such a reasonable and measured person as Lin Cheng? Such an approachable high-level capable person, and at the same time the eldest brother of his sworn friend, he is too late to hug his thighs, how can he dare to accept the other party's payment?
"Okay, okay......"
Seeing that Xu Peng looked like he was in a hurry to mention the remuneration again, Lin Cheng smiled and shook his head and stopped mentioning this matter, just as Meng Yi had already completed the physical examination, and at this time, the female doctor was waiting for him to go over for a physical examination, so he walked behind the curtain with Qin Ya on his back.
"What's the matter with this girl?"
After Lin Cheng walked into the physical examination room, the female doctor who had helped Meng Yi with the physical examination just now suddenly frowned, looked at Qin Ya behind him and asked.
"Oh-"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng directly replied with the excuse he had made up before: "This is my sister, because I have been timid and afraid of things since I was a child, and I was accidentally scared when the end of the world came, and now it is a ...... Silly......"
"That's ......"
Hearing Lin Cheng's 'explanation', the female doctor didn't doubt it, nodded and said, "Then will she do anything drastic during the physical examination?" ”
"Probably not, but just in case, I think it's better to stay here and watch."
Thinking of Qin Ya's terror of going berserk, Lin Cheng thought for a few seconds, but decided to stay and watch her.
"En......"
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, the female doctor nodded again, and then pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Then you sit there first, and I'll help her have a physical examination first!" ”
After that, he stepped forward and began to help Lin Cheng untie Qin Ya from his back.
The process of physical examination is not complicated, after all, the end of the world has been coming for more than half a year, and it is easy to detect whether they have been infected by zombies, but in more than ten minutes, Qin Ya and Lin Cheng have all been checked, and under the guidance of the female doctor, they have made a not-so-complicated identity registration, and then it is completely done.
Sitting in the waiting room and waiting for about half an hour, after the last Coke to go in for the physical examination was also completed, Xu Peng led everyone out of the physical examination room, and finally walked into the interior of Pingcheng after passing through the city gate.
"Wow-"
As soon as he entered Pingcheng, Meng Yi, who had never spoken much, couldn't help but let out a low voice!
Due to the heavy snowfall that had just fallen, although the streets and alleys of Heijo at this time had obviously been cleared, there was still a lot of snow left, but this did not prevent the appearance of Heijo from being displayed in front of everyone at a glance!
The first thing that catches everyone's eye is an old street paved with wide stone slabs, and the survivors are crowded into it, making this otherwise spacious street extremely crowded.
On both sides of the street, there are all kinds of retro shops in close proximity, the roof tiles are pressed like fish scales, and a few chimneys made of stones are curling with smoke and ubiquitous white snow, even if the noisy voices on the street are almost loud, it still makes Lin Cheng feel a sense of peace in his heart for the first time.
The survivors on the street crowded inside and outside the shops, haggling fiercely with the sellers or begging for a bite to eat. Coupled with the antique bell tower not far away, anyone who walks into this street will feel as if they have traveled back in time and space, and instantly return to the ancient times of China, thousands of years ago, of course, if there are no different but equally modern clothes on the street.
"The ancient buildings of this flat castle seem to be quite well preserved, huh?"
After taking in the street scene in front of him, Lin Cheng exhaled softly, and then turned his head to Xu Peng and asked.
Hearing this, Xu Peng nodded with a smile and replied: "That's right, this Pingcheng was originally a fairly well-preserved ancient city, coupled with the government's investment in repair, development and operation, Pingcheng was still the most popular tourist attraction in northern China until the end of the world!" And after the end of the world, the high-level of Yanjing almost immediately moved here, under the management of these high-level and soldiers, although Pingcheng has changed from a tourist attraction to a safe area, but still retains the most primitive style, except for the addition of a ring of steel barriers outside the city wall, the inside of Pingcheng is almost exactly the same as before the end of the world! Of course, it would have looked better if there weren't the simple tents scattered throughout the city......
"But if we didn't have those tents, where would so many survivors live? Although the architecture of this flat city looks charming, it definitely can't meet the housing needs of millions of people, right? ”
Hearing Xu Peng's last words, Lin Cheng shook his head slightly, "But I have one thing to trouble you, no matter the cost, I hope you can help me find a house that is enough for us to live in in the shortest possible time, if there is any difficulty, you can come to me!" ”
Hearing Lin Cheng's request, Xu Peng frowned a little embarrassed, in the current Pingcheng, if you just want to eat together, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, you can still find a job to mix, but if you want to buy a house and settle down, it will be difficult to climb to the sky, just like Lin Cheng just said, the current Pingcheng is crowded with nearly a million survivors, and Pingcheng, as a historical ancient city that was previously positioned as a tourist attraction, has not many civilian residences, even if it adds inns all over the city, it is far from enough for so many people to live. If you want to buy a house in Pingcheng now, it's no longer enough to have money, you have to have enough luck and connections!
