According to the agreement, Zhang Zimin found a dilapidated room with leaky air and black lights, and leaned against the wall in a daze when it was dark.

Interestingly, this place, and some other places, seems to be getting safer at night. But the zip district is still fumbling in the dark. In addition, there are more and more humans who claim to ignore monsters and are not afraid of monsters.

However, Zhang Zimin is always chased by monsters like a lost dog.

"Toad monsters, one thing descends one thing."

Muttering to himself, it was all dark, Zhang Zimin raised his hand to look at his watch, from now on, a certain woman may sail at any time.

Well, yes, Zhang Zimin is too lazy to think about the details, but he has an intuition, the captain seems to have something to hide about Tian Jia, maybe she wants to kill people and seize treasures after confirming that Tian Jia is a villain? Did Tian Jia carry something good?

Zhang Zimin tricked her into finding out where she lived and stationed nearby, hoping to use anchor tactics to target her until he figured out what she was hiding.

It's a pity to think so, but it takes patience, and I don't know what the captain thinks, anyway, Zhang Zimin stayed until three o'clock in the night, but there was still no movement from her.

The wounds on his body have not completely healed, so he can't stay up anymore and falls into a deep sleep......

It was cold early in the morning, and Zhang Zimin was woken up by the noise from the outside.

Rubbing his eyes and looking at his watch, it was only eight o'clock, and the small square in the distance had begun to have a chaotic sound.

Looking through the broken window, there were more of them this time, about two dozen of them, forming the prototype of the market, and they were concentrated in the same place yesterday to trade with each other, noisy, bargaining, and selecting. It's kind of harmonious.

Compared with yesterday, this time Zhang Zimin was more interested here, ate some biscuits casually, put away his things and went to the "market".

There are a lot of biscuits, and the old demon couple in Montenegro who won cards at that time have always been in their bags.

Later, most of the materials saved by the old demon of Montenegro were inherited by the big snake, and it seems that he has no intention of sharing them with anyone......

Dry food is available, but water is gone, and even if you don't continue your journey, you need to replenish it urgently.

Fortunately, everything is expensive here, but the water is cheap.

For no other reason, in factories and mines like this, water houses are usually located on high places like hills, and at the same time, they are connected to the water system of the water company, and there are water storage tanks to supply the tap water of the whole plant.

When these factories were built, it was in a special period of the Republic, and I heard my mother say that in order to prevent enemy infiltration and self-circulation, such places are generally equipped with all kinds of organs, and the water storage capacity starts at least in 1,000 tons.

Such a large "cache" is only used by such a small number of people, which means that the water here will never run out, unless the climate changes recently and it does not rain for ten years.

Yesterday, the fraudster who looked like a mechanic was still wearing work clothes, and he smelled of water. Don't even think about it, he must have been the one who worked on duty in the water room before the catastrophe.

Arriving at the market, Zhang Zimin found the mechanic fraudster, patted the military kettle on his waist and said: "I got up in the morning to get water, why did I run out of water then?" There should be no shortage of water here. ”

He showed his yellow teeth and smiled, "You want to use water without spending a dime?" Water is still a strategic material, especially in the city, it must be relatively scarce, but the captain said that we can't afford the high transportation cost to sell to the city for the time being, so we will keep it for now. The captain asked me to stop the water on your side, and I was not convinced to go to her. ”

"A biscuit, fill it up for me."

Zhang Zimin still gave him the kettle, but he was a little dumbfounded, so a group of seven or eight people decisively surrounded him.

A little girl was the first to say: "I am from here, I have the right to use water, this is the captain's regulations, big brother, I'll help you add water, okay, I only need half a biscuit?" It's just that my house is a bit far away, six or seven minutes to walk. I can't use the faucet here, so you can save half a cookie in a few minutes with a slight movement. ”

“……”

In fact, a pot of water is definitely worth more than half a biscuit. From here, the food here must be very scarce. It's no wonder that the captain was so nervous, and he didn't hesitate to go to war yesterday and said to Zhang Zimin that everything belongs here and belongs to her.

Thinking about it, Zhang Zimin casually turned around and glanced at the residence of a certain captain.

The mechanic couldn't help but be furious, as if he wanted to smoke this little girl who was fighting a price war, but he didn't dare, so he had to hate and remain silent.

Zhang Zimin glanced at them separately, and said to the mechanic: "Why don't you lower the price, if you lower it, I will buy your water." ”

The little girl looked very lost. The mechanic was a little surprised, hurriedly closed the kettle, decisively filled it on the faucet, smiled again, and respectfully handed it to Zhang Zimin.

Zhang Zimin took out a biscuit, broke it in two, and handed half to the crook mechanic, and the other half to the little girl.

The little girl is not a shy person, otherwise she would not dare to steal business.

She snatched it and swallowed it, licked her lips and said, "Why is this?" ”

Zhang Zimin pointed to her nose: "You still owe me a pot of water." But I'm too lazy to go to your house right now, and if you bring the water here at this time tomorrow, we'll be cleared. ”

"Okay." She nodded hurriedly.

Then Zhang Zimin began to do nothing, wandering around the market for a while to see what they had in mind.

Anyway, it's a mess, there's everything, and it's basically the environment, at least the living quarters, in the factory.

So they moved freely, freely collecting all kinds of supplies, and whatever they found was theirs. And then because everyone's luck is different, and the things they find are also different, so they will concentrate here in the morning to trade, which is considered to complement each other's strengths.

There is also a rule: everything here belongs to a pirate, like a tenant drawer, and whatever they find, such as even if they find three nails, they must hand over one of them to the captain, which is considered "protection money".

Otherwise, they will lose the protection of the captain and be expelled. Obviously, now all of them need to be protected.

But this protection fee is also really Nyima...... What do you say......

"Outsider, did you sleep well last night?"

Zhang Zimin heard a rustling female voice while thinking, and the captain came. She was still a little dismissive and provocative.

For this reason, Zhang Zimin's old face was slightly red, she slept very badly last night, and she didn't sleep until the middle of the night.

Shaking his head, Zhang Zimin said, "What's your name?" ”

"Captain." She said.

"Real name." Zhang Zimin was more curious.

She evaded, "It doesn't matter, the name is just a symbol." ”

Zhang Zimin said again: "By the way, why aren't you afraid of monsters at night?" ”

She looked at it impatiently: "Are you afraid?" ”

"I really...... Super scary. Zhang Zimin was a little embarrassed.

The captain didn't bother to pay attention to him, nor did he bother to speak again, so he looked very annoyed, turned and walked away.

But after a while, as if she heard from the mouth of a liar and a little girl that someone was consuming here, her attitude changed slightly, she stopped and turned around, and said to Zhang Zimin patiently: "Because I can easily drag that kind of monster away and kill it, I'm not afraid of monsters at night." ”

"Originally, there were several nocturnal monsters here, and a lot of people were torn apart. But after I dragged the most ruthless and biggest one to death in front of them, they left here completely, and I don't know where they went, maybe they went south to the vicinity of the mental hospital. The people of Changbanqiao are no longer under my protection, so I wish the people over there good luck. ”

"By the way, depending on the direction you came from, you should have passed by the town of Changbanqiao, are they dead?" She finally asked curiously.

Zhang Zimin shook his head slightly, "No." The number of survivors is about the same as here. ”

The captain was stunned, "This is strange, how did they survive?" ”

Zhang Zimin said: "Sitting in the well and watching the sky, do you really think that you are special?" ”

She narrowed her eyes and said, "So, there are capable people in Longbanqiao Town?" ”

Zhang Zimin hesitated and said, "There really is." But I advise you not to provoke him. ”

"Who said I'm going to provoke him. Also, the next time you dare to use words like 'sitting in a well and watching the sky' to describe me, even if you provoke, there will definitely be a price." ”

She reverted to her cold appearance and ignored the people, but did not leave the market.

Zhang Zimin really didn't want to stay here at night to provoke her, and left the market. I found a farther and higher roof and began to bask in the sun, sometimes observing the distance.

The winter sun is easy to make people lazy, and at this time, Zhang Zimin has no clear goal for the time being, and he can't determine where to go next. You can only stare at the captain to see if she is really hiding something.

At some point, Zhang Zimin got a sharp whistle, like someone blowing a whistle on the roof of a building farther ahead?

So I took out my binoculars and looked north, only to see a motorcycle team coming to the dusty rural roads that were not too wide!

There are all kinds of motorcycles, and they have all been preliminarily modified, and most of them carry some spikes and other ghosts, which not only look very intimidating, but also look like they can prevent someone from raiding a moving motorcycle?

In Zhang Zimin's view, these scenes really have more and more of the taste of doomsday ruins! This Nima is only in her early two months after the catastrophe, but there is already a situation and feeling similar to "Mad Max"?

"Boom, boom—"

The engine of the first motorcycle was particularly powerful. Modified to look like a hedgehog, it's also a little more majestic. Before the cataclysm, this was a real luxury: a one-litre Harley.

As for the other motorcycles, it is uneven, and even the kind of motorcycles that can't run the electric donkey are mixed in.

Then the whole team is not very fast, but there is often a sense of oppression, and under the opening of the big hedgehog Harley, they are approaching this side.

Zhang Zimin turned to look at the square.

I could clearly see from the binoculars that after the sharp warning sound appeared, the captain changed color a little and ordered something, and then the people in the square began to be nervous and even a little flustered, and a few women with little children began to run and hide.

The rest of the seven or eight young men were left, carrying things, and then standing behind the captain, as if waiting for something?

Zhang Zimin adjusted the angle of the telescope again and looked into the distance, only to see that after the "hedgehog motorcycle team" arrived at the outpost, the sentry post of the phosphate fertilizer factory hurriedly moved the roadblock.

It seemed that because she was slow, she was whipped by one of the red-haired women dressed like monsters, and then she roared twice the little donkey with a displacement of less than 100 milliliters, and scolded angrily: "You are tired of the dog, the convoy of vipers is coming, and you are still stunned for so long to move the barricade?" ”
