Early in the morning, amid the noisy training slogans on the playground, Meng Soul and his party had already packed up everything, "Brother Meng, pay attention to safety, come back quickly!" Wang Yangming has always been depressed because he wants to participate in the management of the base and can't follow Meng Soul, Meng Soul nodded: "Don't worry, you have to assist Instructor Ling to manage the base well, don't let our hard work be in vain!" Wang Yangming didn't speak, nodded, Meng Soul was going to XA City, except for the management, the other survivors didn't know, everyone thought that Meng Soul was just going to search for supplies, so Instructor Ling didn't come to see him off.

Saying goodbye to the few people who saw them off, Meng Soul and a few people got on Nova 2002, Xiao Yu squatted on the roof of the car, the vehicle started, looking at the towering city wall that was getting farther and farther away, Meng Soul sighed and turned his head to look into the distance......

The distance from X city to XA city is not far, but it is difficult to walk on the road, high-speed, the national highway is full of car wreckage, or large traffic jams, and large and small corpses blocking the road, it was originally more than an hour's drive, Meng Soul and several people walked for a day, and the next morning, Meng Soul saw the city wall of XA City from afar: "Finally arrived!" Meng Soul was a little excited, after all, humans are social animals, and Meng Soul was still very happy when he looked at the city wall that was getting closer and closer.

XA City is the capital of several ancient dynasties, the city wall is very high, and thick, a little transformation is a very good fortification, Meng Soul picked up the telescope and looked at the city wall from afar, there are people in military uniforms patrolling the city wall, the city wall is full of sandbags, light and heavy machine guns are erected, the former red wooden city gate has been replaced with a steel jack gate, the gate is hoisted high, and the vehicles in and out make the gate very lively.

Meng Soul was stunned, it was different from what he imagined, he thought that XA City was already a zombie siege and didn't see it, but now it seems that he still feels thriving, and he found a very hidden bridge hole in Nova 2002 and hid it, the bridge is surrounded by roses to block the entrance of the cave tightly, if you don't go in, you won't think that there is an armored car inside, lock the door, let Xiao Yu fly out to play by herself, drain all the oil in the car and hide it in another place, Meng Soul and several people have their weapons and backpacks on their backs and set off on foot to XA City.

When the group reached the gate, a group of soldiers with guns shouted: "Don't move!!" Put the gun down! Hands up! ”

Well? Meng Soul was stunned for a moment, a pair of soldiers surrounded them like a great enemy, dozens of black hole muzzles aimed at their own group, seeing this situation, Meng Soul first put the weapon on the ground, and then motioned to the team members to also put the guns in their hands on the ground, and then raised their hands: "We are from X City, we are all normal people." ”

The man who looked like a squad leader waved his hand, and several soldiers in white coats came over and took an instrument at the head of several people: "There is no fever, everything is normal!" ”

As these white coats said that everything was normal, it was obvious that the eyes of the surrounding soldiers relaxed a lot, and after all the tests were completed, the man who looked like the squad leader came over: "My name is Zhao Yong, I am in charge of the reception of newcomers, you didn't bring the identification card issued by XA City, that's why it's like this." ”

Meng Soul looked at the people who came in and out all around, everyone had a card around their necks that looked like a work card hung by a white-collar worker when they went to work, and the cards inside were of different colors, red, yellow, and blue, looking at these cards, Meng Soul asked, "Why are there three colors?" ”

Zhao Yong said: "The blue card is available to everyone who comes to XA City, with this card, you can find a job in the city that can hire you, you can also go outside to search for supplies, you can wear cold weapons, but there is no treatment, no place to live is not allowed, there is a curfew in the base at night, those who are caught wandering around the street will be killed directly, the people of the blue brand basically live in the slums in the west of the city, where there are all shantytowns built indiscriminately, of course, you can also live in rental houses and inns, Generally, one pound of rice can be rented for two days, and the yellow ones are only available to those who contribute 30,000 tons of food to the base at one time, and can receive daily necessities and food in the base every day, have a unified distribution of houses, have 5 hours of power supply every day, and one hour of hot water supply, can wear pistols in the base, have the meat distribution of mutant beasts twice a week, can buy weapons sold by the official at a 20% discount, and the owner of each yellow brand can hire two hundred blue brand mercenary workers, of course, you have to manage two meals a day. After a pause, Zhao Yong continued: "The red brand is too difficult, 150,000 tons of grain will be handed over to the base, and more than 100,000 corpses will be cleaned up, a set of housing can be allocated in the innermost villa area of the base, fifty beautiful women, these people are all slaves, you can do whatever you want, no one cares about you if you kill, 24-hour hot water and power supply, unlimited food every day, unlimited types of supply, you can drive in the base, you can also wear rifles and heavy weapons, you can buy all the weapons sold in the base at three folds, As long as someone offends the holder of the red card, he can directly kill him without responsibility, the holder of the red card can hire twenty holders of the yellow brand, two hundred holders of the blue brand, and can have a private army of no more than five hundred people, but cannot have heavy weapons, these private armies must also be supported by themselves, it can be said that this is a privileged class......

After Zhao Yong finished speaking, he took out a stack of blue cards, took a photo of everyone with a Polaroid and pasted it on the card, sealed it in a transparent plastic card sleeve and handed it to Meng Soul and a few people: "Don't lose it, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch in the city, and you may be killed directly as a wanderer who has mixed into the city, a total of one pound of rice!" ”

Meng Soul took out a few bags of instant noodles, there was no rice, what about this? Zhao Yong's eyes lit up: "Two bags of instant noodles for a pound of rice!" Meng Soul handed Zhao Yong the bags of instant noodles in his hand, Zhao Yong swallowed, stuffed the bags of noodles into the backpack behind him, and his expression improved significantly: "How is your X City now?" How did you get here? Look at your complexion as if you haven't been hungry, and there are so many weapons, these rifles can't be brought into the city, if you don't want them, sell them to the centralized collection point, a rifle is a three-pound rice, a pistol is a catty, twenty rifle bullets are exchanged for a catty of rice, and the pistol bullets are doubled, if you don't want to sell them, they will be stored here, and the storage fee of one catty of rice a day will be returned to you when you go out of the city, oh yes, rice tickets are issued in the city, that's it. As he spoke, he took out a light blue card, the size of which was similar to the size of the food stamps after liberation, and it was stamped with several stamps, "This light blue is the smallest that can be exchanged for half a catty, the earthy yellow one can be exchanged for one catty, the white one is ten catties, the green one is fifty catties, the black one is one hundred catties, and it is said that there are golden ones that can be exchanged for a thousand catties, but I have not seen it." ”

Meng Soul said: "Let's just save it, how can we go out of the city without weapons, X City has no city walls, the current gathering point is in a resort area in the center of the city river, there is only one bridge connected, I have a relative there, so it's okay to mix, during this time, the zombies ran around, fought a few tough battles, and the armament was a little insufficient, so this time I came out to explore the way, and by the way, I looked for weapons and ammunition, how many people are there in XA now?" Who manages here? Where can I redeem these issued rice tickets? There won't be a fake, right? Meng Soul half-truthfully talked about his situation, and asked about the situation in XA City by the way.

Zhao Yong looked at the face of a few bags of instant noodles and continued: "There are seven or eight hundred thousand people here, people die every day, no one has specific statistics, the **A joint committee in the city is in charge, it is said that it is the joint committee, in fact, there are three very large, the original seventh army stationed in XA City, now there are three or so regiments or so, there are heavy weapons, there are many armored vehicles, it is said that there are a few tanks, but I haven't seen it, the armed police force of XA City, the establishment of a regiment or so, the original municipal party committee and municipal government of XA City and the police, The fire is estimated to add up to a regiment, and there are some small forces spontaneously forming an alliance that also occupies a place in the base, the most powerful is the army, well-armed, sufficient personnel, the number of armed police forces is not much, but the combat effectiveness is also very strong, the city government and the police fire are also a lot of people, but not as good as those small and medium-sized group alliances, of course, these people and the soldiers who are not hidden no one knows.

The base seems to be good, in fact, internal and external troubles, these rice tickets are issued by the joint committee of the base, there are anti-counterfeiting methods, and the anti-counterfeiting of one less family is considered fake, and they are exchanged at the central grain station, so that they will not carry rice bags on their backs, but ordinary people are very bitter, alas......" Zhao Yong sighed and didn't want to continue, and after reminding him of some precautions in the base, he let Meng Soul go into the city to see it himself......
