Chapter 57: Passes

"Something big is going to happen. ”

Lin Xiao saw that the gray sweatshirt was walking away, and when he saw that there was no one around, he closed the curtain tightly, took two steps to Jasmine's side, and tried his best to lower his voice and said.

Jasmine couldn't see any fluctuations on her face, but the hand holding the wine glass couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"I know. ”

"Once Xiao Wang makes a move, there will definitely be a big mess in Zhongbei and Jinling. ”

"I know. ”

"A move in Jinling in the north of the country will inevitably involve the entire north and south, not to mention the central settlements, and the whole country will have to be finished. ”

"I know. ”

Lin Xiao slapped his thigh: "Eldest sister, you know what to do, think of a way." ”

Jasmine frowned: "Oh, I'm not thinking about it, don't rush me." ”

"What else do you want, go back to Huang Que and report it," Lin Xiao said and walked outside: "Do you have a car, we have to go back quickly." ”

"You wait," Jasmine grabbed Lin Xiao: "Are you crazy, you go back to Uncle Huang now to report, what kind of report to take, just take the sentence we just bought? This is intelligence, not evidence." ”

"Even if you give Huang Que a reminder in advance," Lin Xiao said: "Otherwise, what should I do, could it be that you still want to bring down Xiao Wang with the two of us?"

Seeing that Jasmine still hesitated and didn't speak, Lin Xiao pressed the table, stood up suddenly, and stretched out his hand to Jasmine.

"What," Jasmine didn't understand what Lin Xiao meant.

"Car," Lin Xiao said.

Jasmine looked at Lin Xiao and opened her mouth, but after all, she didn't say anything to dissuade her, took out the car key from her trouser pocket and handed it to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao took the car keys, took the list of drinks on the table, quickly wrote a string of numbers on it and pushed it to Jasmine: "If there is a good way before I get to Huangque, remember to call me." ”

Yes, after a period of resumption of construction, the entire Central settlement has basically resumed communication for now, but this is only limited to the city.

After that, Lin Xiao picked up the wine glass and drank the bottom wine, turned around and ran out.

Lin Xiao ran all the way to the door of a retail store selling daily necessities and stopped, this is the cover of Jasmine's underground shooting gallery, and you can go straight to the shooting gallery by walking down from the sandwich wall next to the innermost container of the shop.

Lin Xiao went around to the back of the shop, pressed the car key in his hand, and saw a beetle leaning against the back wall of the shop flashed, and Lin Xiao ran in three or two steps to start the car.

The car roared out of the fork in the road, causing countless abuses along the way, and Lin Xiao drove the Beetle crookedly all the way to the inner ring.

When passing by the T gate of the Central settlement, Lin Xiao inadvertently glanced at the gate that was slowly opening, and saw that there were many people crowded outside the door, and it seemed that it should be the refugees who were allowed to enter today.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh - the refugees who come in now should generally be arranged in the outer ring, and in such a harsh environment as the outer ring, I don't know how many of these poor refugees can survive for a week.

Wu Zong walked forward with the crowd.

The tall solid mesh iron gate hovered over Wu Zong's head, making Wu Zong can't help but arch forward, for fear that this ghost thing would suddenly fall down and slap himself flat because of the power outage.

He turned around and looked at Qiu Mo again: "You really don't want to go with me?"

Qiu Mo shook his head firmly: "No. ”

Wu Zong raised his eyebrows, sighed a little disappointed, and said, "I hope you will change your mind in the future." ”

"There shouldn't be much chance," Qiu Mo scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I still have my mother at home waiting for me to take care of, so I'll leave first." ”

As he spoke, Qiu Mo waved his hand at Wu Zong to say goodbye.

Wu Zongmu sent Qiu Mo away, and stood alone in front of the slowly closing gate and raised the tag in his hand.

He finally saw the true face of what the soldier called the so-called 'temporary ID card'.

This metal plaque, which is about an inch square, is quite similar to the 'dog tag' used by the US military. T6051221'.

Wu Zong looked at the tag in his hand.

ZJ should mean 'Zhongjing', and T should mean T mouth.

Wu Zong learned from other people that there were a total of 20 entrances in the entire Central Settlement, each of which was under martial law, and T was the smallest of the 20 entrances.

As for the following series of numbers, Wu Zong counted them, and probably guessed in his heart that this should be the current total number of refugees in the entire Central settlement, and he should be the 6051,221 refugees who entered the Central settlement.

Underneath that string of letters and numbers were three large characters - 'Wu Baoxi' - the fake name of Wu Zong.

"It's back again. Wu Zong smiled bitterly and said to himself.

Wu Zong looked up at the settlement, only to see that the city was muddy, spicy chicken sewage was flowing everywhere, the streets were full of tents, and the filthy faces came and went in and out of the small tents from time to time, and many people on the road were wearing filthy overalls, and many of them looked drunk, and their eyes were wandering their legs blankly looking for the small tent that belonged to them.

The whole city was dead.

Wu Zong even felt that many of these people walking on the street were actually no different from the walking dead outside, maybe the only difference between them was that the walking dead outside the city would eat people.

Although it was the second time he had stepped into Zhongjing after the advent of the end times, the current Zhongjing was obviously different from the Zhongjing of the previous life, and Wu Zong was completely unclear about the structure of the various systems here, so he had to flip through the 'Central Settlement Guide' in his hand.

This booklet is intended for evacuees along with the tags to help those who come to evacuees become familiar with the rules.

Wu Zong opened this booklet 'Printed by the Zhongjing High-level Court', and many regulations were written on the first page, and Wu Zong didn't even bother to look at these things, and directly turned to the middle of the booklet.

As mentioned above, the Central Ring settlement is currently divided into two rings, the inner ring is mostly an important public building, so the order is tighter.

Wu Zong couldn't help but sneer.

What bullshit inner ring is important, this is blatantly engaging in class division, you can think of the people in the inner ring with your toes are all high-powered people, and the outside are all commoners.

However, none of this is important, the main purpose of Wu Zong's trip to Zhongjing is to find Lin Xiao and his party first.

Thinking of this, Wu Zong patted his trouser pocket, took out half a pack of cigarettes from it, took out two cigarettes and slowly walked to the guards at the door.

"What's the matter," the soldier asked with some vigilance as he watched Wu Zong come over.

"It's okay, big brother," Wu Zong walked up to the soldier, lit his own cigarette, and then handed another cigarette to the soldier: "Ask you about the place." ”

The soldier turned his head left and right, took the cigarette from Wu Zong's hand and put it on his mouth: "This is different from the original name, and I may not be able to find it." ”

Wu Zong stepped forward and lit a cigarette for the soldier, exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "This place has definitely not changed. ”

"Ah," said the soldier, puffing on his cigarette, his face full of relief.

"Chukyo Academy of Sciences. Wu Zong flicked the ash of his cigarette and stared at the soldier.

Hearing this, the comfort on the soldier's face disappeared in an instant, and he saw his body stiffen, took the cigarette from his mouth, squinted his eyes and asked, "Why are you asking this?" ”

"Hey," Wu Zong pretended not to see the soldier's nervousness, and waved his hand: "My cousin-in-law used to be an intern assistant at the Academy of Sciences, and I want to see if I can find her." ”

"Oh," Hearing Wu Zong say this, the soldier relaxed his body and put on his cigarette again: "According to me, you don't have to look for it, now the Academy of Sciences is full of expert-level people, and it is said that they are studying vaccines, it's not that I speak ugly, your sister-in-law who helped with the internship may still be wandering around the outer ring now." ”

"Besides," the soldier took another puff of his cigarette, "the Academy of Sciences is in the inner ring, and you can't enter the inner ring without a pass." ”

"Pass?" Wu Zong asked, "Do you still need a pass to go in?"

"Of course," the soldier laughed, "You think this is the same as your own toilet, you want to get in and out." ”

"Then how did you handle this pass," Wu Zong asked puzzled.

"Handle?" The cigarette ash in the soldier's hand fell off when he heard this: "I said little brother, you should treat this as a marriage certificate, you can do it if you want, then you have to be a cadre at the deputy department level in Beijing to be the guarantor to issue the certificate." ”

"Huh?" Wu Zong sighed in disappointment: "I am such a relative in Zhongjing, and now my parents are missing, what can I do." ”

Looking at Wu Zong's appearance, the soldier also sighed and patted Wu Zong's shoulder: "If you are a few years older, you may still have a chance to enter the inner ring, but your age is ......."

Speaking of this, the soldier swallowed back the second half of the sentence, sighed, threw the finished cigarette on the ground and crushed it, and looked like he wanted to say something.

Wu Zong saw that there was a play, and hurriedly turned around and asked, "Big brother, tell me, is there any other way to get in." ”

The soldier looked at him with a look of embarrassment: "How old are you this year?" ”

"I ......" Wu Zong hesitated: "Twenty-two." ”

"Really?" The soldier narrowed his eyes and looked at Wu Zong suspiciously, "I think you're in your early twenties." ”

Wu Zongfu was heartfelt, took out most of the remaining packs of cigarettes in his pocket and secretly stuffed them to the soldiers: "Big brother, I just turned twenty-two this year. ”

"Oh-oh," the soldier understood and nodded, "Then you must be small." ”

"Yes, yes," Seeing that the soldiers were relieved, Wu Zong hurriedly got off the donkey down the slope and nodded in agreement.

"That's right," the soldier smacked his lips and took out another cigarette and lit it: "If you are over twenty-two, you can spontaneously form a team to collect supplies outside, if the quantity is sufficient, after assessment to reach the quota and voluntarily donate to the settlement, it will be recognized as a contribution to the settlement, and you can make an exception to get a pass and enter the inner ring." ”

"But I can say it in advance," said the soldier, "there have been teams before, but because of greed, few people have returned, and even if they do, some of them have repented and stopped donating." ”

Speaking of this, the soldier lowered his voice and said, "I secretly told you not to go out to spread the word, those who came back are basically missing." ”

"Why," Wu Zong asked mysteriously.

"As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves," the soldier pouted, "There are quite a few snakes in the outer ring." ”

Oh.

Wu Zong nodded knowingly.

He thought for a moment, and then said: "I still want to go out and try, after all, I am such a cousin-in-law, if I can enter the inner ring, even if I can't find my cousin-in-law, I will admit it." ”

The soldier glanced at Wu Zong deeply and nodded: "That's okay, you remember to look for me when the time comes." ”

"Then I'll thank the eldest brother in advance," Wu Zong nodded at the soldiers, "But I have to prepare first." ”

"Yes, then I'll hang up your team-up request first?" the soldier asked for Wu Zong's opinion.

"You can still join a team," Wu Zong said in surprise, "It's like the video game I played before." ”

"Otherwise, where can you go to such a big city," the soldier smiled: "I'll hang it first, you can prepare over there, just come back and take a look once a day, under normal circumstances, there are enough people to go out, of course, if you want to go out of the city by yourself, no one will stop you." ”

"Then I don't dare," Wu Zong hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

The heart said that he listened to the soldiers, and now it is quite special to be able to take the list out of the city, and if he goes out alone, it will be too eye-catching, so he can be low-key as much as possible, and he should bring the trumpet for free.

The two of them parted and walked in opposite directions, and the expressions on their faces turned back to indifference the moment they turned, as if they had suddenly taken off the masks on their faces.

Wu Zong was very satisfied that he could say so many words with half a pack of cigarettes and a meal of nonsense, and secretly thought to himself where to go, how to get as many resources as possible, and strive to get a pass at one time.

However, this time, Wu Zong, who thought that he was relying on his usual tricks, was wrong.

He didn't notice that just after he had walked a short distance, the soldier dropped his cigarette butt and took out his satellite phoneβ€”

"I am T Exit in Central, and there is a new refugee today who fully meets the comparison conditions, with the name Wu Baoxi, the number T6051221, and I am expected to leave the city in the near future. ”
