Chapter Ninety-Six: The City of People
Jiao Bai had made plans before coming to the Jinshan base, what could be said and what could not be said. First of all, he is not from this world, but from the earth, this secret must never be exposed, even the closest friends can't tell. Secondly, it is best not to say that you can summon zombies, it will leave a bad impression on people, and even cause disgust.
As for summoning mutant beasts and having a portable space, these are all in the scope of what can be said, and if possible, Jiao Bai will deliberately publicize it. This is the base of survivors of the apocalypse, and only those who have enough strength can be valued. In the plan, Jiao Bai wants to pull a group of people from the Jinshan base to Sheshan, and it is necessary to show his strength appropriately, why should people follow you if you don't have the strength.
"My profession is a summoner, and those mutant beasts you see are all my summoned beasts."
"It's the first time I've heard of such a profession as a summoner. can summon hundreds of mutant beasts, which is also too powerful, Brother Jiao alone, it is not possible to resist dozens or hundreds of evolutionaries of the same level. ”
Zhang Cang's surprise was really not pretended, Jiao Bai, who could control more than a dozen third-level mutant beasts, was already able to fight with several fourth-level evolutionary bosses in the base. The only one who can win Jiao Bai without relying on firearms is probably the alliance leader and the general of the military.
"It's not that exaggerated, there are still a lot of restrictions on summoners."
What are the specific restrictions, Jiao Bai didn't say, this involves the secret of his profession, and relatives and friends who are not particularly close will not say it. Zhang Cang also didn't ask, but turned the topic to another aspect,
"Does Brother Jiao have any plans to join the Evolutionary Alliance? Our Evolutionary Alliance is an organization composed entirely of evolutionaries, and its strength is very strong, and our alliance leader Sun Yang is one of the only two fifth-level evolutionaries in the base. We provide members with a wide range of services including information, acquisition, exchange, and so on.
And we have an internal bounty system, Brother Jiao, you come from outside the base, you should know that now the outside is already the world of zombies and mutant beasts, and some powerful mutant beasts are not at all something that a human evolutionary can deal with, but these high-level mutant beasts are often treasured all over their bodies. As long as you join our Evolutionary Alliance, you can hire someone of your level to help you hunt mutant beasts, and even if you are willing to pay a high price, a higher level Evolver will do it. ”
Jiao Bai shook his head, what are you kidding, he still wants to pull a group of people to Sheshan, how could he join someone else's organization. What's more, does he still need the help of others to hunt mutant beasts, as long as he is given enough points and money, he alone is comparable to thousands of troops, and no mutant beast can die.
"I've just come to the Jinshan base, and I'm not familiar with the situation here. Wait until I'm familiar with it, and then I'll consider your proposal. ”
Jiao Bai's answer was also expected by Zhang Cang, anyone who joins an organization must be cautious, and always inquire from the side, what is the reputation of this organization, what is the treatment, etc.
The two continued to chat, and from Zhang Cang's mouth, Jiao Bai learned a lot about the internal situation of the Jinshan base. As a member of the management of the Evolutionary Alliance, Zhang Cang has been exposed to many more things than Geng Tongtong, and after chatting all the way, Jiao Bai has gained a lot.
Both of them are third-level evolutionaries, with outstanding physical fitness, even if they chat with each other, the pace of their feet does not slow down at all, and they follow Geng Tongtong very easily.
"Hey, what is this for, how do you put people in cages?"
The place where Jiao Bai and the others walked now was a place similar to a farmer's market, but the goods sold here were ragged human beings. Jiao Bai is a Chinese man, born in the spring breeze and grew up under the red flag, how can he ever see such a miserable thing as sticking and selling people.
Zhang Cang sneered twice, and said disdainfully: "It's not those people in the business alliance who came up with some dirty things, this is called a human market, and those who buy and sell are living people." He said that he was bought to be a servant, but he was not a slave, but he had a different name. ”
"The military doesn't care, this is a slave trade, something that hasn't happened in hundreds of years."
Jiao Bai still felt incredible, although it was the end of the world, but after all, the management of the Jinshan Base inherited from the regular army of Dayin, how could they tolerate this kind of thing happening in front of him.
Zhang Cang shook his head and said: "The military only prohibits the forced sale and arrest of slaves, and the straw stickers on the outside of the cages here are all voluntarily sold, and they are all poor people who can't support themselves, and they buy themselves just to help their relatives get a bite to eat." How can the military manage it, can it be that these people eat and drink, there are tens of thousands of people who cannot eat in the entire base, and the military cannot afford it. ”
"What about the people in these cages? Are they also voluntary? ”
"These people couldn't survive and sold themselves before. When the people of the tooth shop saw that these people were either beautiful or skilled, they bought them and resold them at a high price. If it weren't for these people, the number of people who starved to death every winter would have increased several times. ”
Jiao Bai saw the scenes in the human market, his mood was a little heavy, he had long known that the living conditions of human beings in the last days were very bad, but he didn't expect it to reach this level. Jiao Bai was stunned, and an unkempt and ragged woman on the side of the road grabbed his sleeve and cried: "My lord, you buy me, I can do anything, and the price is very cheap, as long as you give my daughter a bite to eat in the future, we will go with you." ”
A small, yellow-haired girl poked her head out from behind the woman and looked at Jiao Bai with a pair of still gloomy eyes, which were full of fear, longing, and cringe.
As if seeing that Jiao Bai didn't refuse on the spot, the woman brushed the hair in front of her forehead with her thin hands, and continued to work hard to promote herself.
"My lord, I am very good-looking, and I was a very famous model before the end of the world. I can work during the day and sleep with you at night......"
The woman's face was covered with some stains, and she couldn't tell what she looked like at all, but she was really tall, at least one meter seven, and she was taller than some men when she stood there. Ignoring the woman's chatter, he came to the little girl and crouched down, took out a bag of bread from his pocket, and handed it to her.
"Tell uncle what your name is, this bag of bread is yours."
Since entering the Jinshan base, this is still the first child Jiao Bai has seen, Geng Tongtong cannot be regarded as an ordinary child, he is an evolutionary, and his survival ability is stronger than that of an adult man. The environment of the last days is too cruel for a child, and it is not easy to survive. I don't know what kind of effort this woman has put in to live with this child until now.
