Meng Soul, who returned to the base, didn't speak much for a few days, and the chill on his face made everyone shudder.

"Xiao Meng, there are some things that you can't stop, you are doing a good job now, what we can do is to save more people and establish a better order." Instructor Ling walked up to Meng Soul and gently patted Meng Soul on the shoulder.

"Instructor Ling, I know, but I can't figure it out, a few big men have occupied such a good place, as long as they have a little guts, they can find a lot of supplies, how can they eat people? It's such a cruel cannibalism! That's the same kind! Meng Soul's low and hoarse voice startled Instructor Ling, "Xiao Meng's base was established because of you, if you fall, then this base is probably not far from being destroyed, and it is up to you to protect these people!" Pull yourself together! ”

Meng Soul stood up: "Yes, I can't be depressed, go, notify the management to have a meeting!" ”

Originally, the conference room of the regiment headquarters was full of people, and in the smoke, Meng Soul walked in, everyone quickly stood up, Meng Soul waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down: "There are two things to say about calling everyone to the meeting today, first: in addition to searching for useful materials when the combat team goes out in the future, another one should pay attention to rescuing the survivors, and second: I heard a news, the news of the official gathering point, which is on the southernmost island of the river in X City, who is familiar with it and introduces." ”

"I know" A faint voice came from behind everyone, Meng Soul looked over, it was a researcher from the original 02 Institute, "Originally, there was no island there, a whole big river crossed the edge of the city, and then the city government of X City reclaimed the river there and created an island, established a resort, operated catering, entertainment, hunting, fishing, and a small playground, I have been there several times before." ”

"How big is that island?" Meng Soul is an otaku who squats at home every day and doesn't know anything.

"It's about 1 square kilometer", "Is 1 square kilometer huge?? Meng Soul had no concept of this at all, "Let's count it this way, it's about the size of 138 standard football fields." The researcher calculated, and Meng Soul nodded: "That's not small, how many people can it hold?" "It depends on how you live, and you can definitely live with 100,000 people."

Meng Soul nodded: "Everyone! Now let's discuss whether or not to contact the official gathering point? ”

There was a commotion in the conference room: "Of course, we need to contact, and we also need resources." There are also different opinions: "Whatever the official says it is, it represents the government, what if they forcibly expropriate our weapons and ammunition, and let us work as cannon fodder?" The two factions were about to quarrel with different opinions, and Meng Soul patted the table: "That's it, I'll take a few people to have a look, and then we'll make a decision!" ”

Early the next morning, Meng Soul took Instructor Ling, Li Ming, Zhang Jun and other seven people to explore the bottom of the official gathering point. The weapon only brought a few 81 bars, two Type 67-2 heavy machine guns, 4 standard magazines, 10 magazines for one person, a few grenades, two vehicles, a military jeep, a pickup truck, two Type 69 bazookas were also loaded with jeeps, and all the remaining rockets were brought with them, and the pickup truck was loaded with 2 tons of rice, covered with canvas, and ten cigarettes.

Bypassing most of the city, knocking out several Min I who were in pursuit, Meng Soul and the others' two cars finally approached the river, but seeing the big river, Meng Soul and the others could only look for a path to cross the river along the river, there were three bridges across the river, one crossed the gathering place, but the side leading to the city was blown up, and the other two bridges were still not a short distance, and they finally crossed the river, and when they arrived at the official gathering point, the sky had already darkened.

A bridge spans the water, connecting the landing land and the gathering point, the gathering point is lit with fire, Meng Soul and others are not far from the bridgehead with binoculars to watch, two fortifications built with sandbags, heavy machine guns are set up behind, there are more than a dozen soldiers guarding the bridge, between the two sandbag fortifications is a place similar to a toll station, there is an X-shaped iron frame at the door to block the road, a row of cars parked at the bridge, those soldiers will check, the specific inspection is because it is too far away is unknown, "Do you want to go over and see?" Meng Soul put down the binoculars and looked at Instructor Ling, "Well, I want to go and have a look, after all, I am still a soldier!" Instructor Ling's gaze was a little scattered.

Meng Soul and several people drove to the end of the convoy, and the team traveled very fast, and it was Meng Soul's turn in less than 20 minutes.

"Get out of the car!" Several soldiers outside the car shouted.

Meng Soul and a few people got out of the car, and several soldiers were stunned: "Which unit are you from?" Instructor Ling walked over: "Reserve Corps, Special Teaching Brigade, Ling Kaihong!" As he spoke, he took out a green notebook from his pocket and handed it to the soldier, who saluted after reading it: "Hello chief!" But you also need to check. Instructor Ling nodded: "Come according to the rules!" The leading soldier waved his hand, and several people in white coats came over, holding an electronic body temperature measuring instrument aimed at everyone's head, and being scratched or bitten will quickly develop a fever, so checking body temperature is a very effective means.

"It's all normal!!"

A soldier led by him took out several cards to record the names of several people, after the rank, stamped a seal, Meng Soul took it and wrote on it, body temperature is normal, no physical disability, health and other rows of small characters, the chapter is engraved X City Emergency Rescue Center, "The card cannot be lost, it is in the gathering point for inspection, the weapon does not need to be handed in, but you are not allowed to shoot at will in the area of the gathering point, otherwise you will be shot on the spot by the law enforcement team without a legitimate reason, a curfew will be imposed after 9 o'clock in the evening, and you are not allowed to stay outside, in addition, you are not a member of this base, Each time you enter the outer gathering point, you will pay 20 catties of rice, or 400 rounds of ammunition, or 100 rounds of ammunition for a gun, and 80 pistol bullets for two pistols! There are more requirements to enter the inner area, and you will know the specifics when you go in. The soldier who took the lead said a lot of precautions, Meng Soul took out twenty catties of rice and handed it to the guard, and the two cars passed through the guard point and slowly drove across the bridge into the gathering point.

There is a large open space on both sides of the bridge, there is no bustling street, no one is full of voices, some are just depressed, the roadside is all kinds of shacks, built with all kinds of strange things, the asbestos tile is already relatively good, there is actually a cardboard box built, and a layer of plastic sheeting is set up on it to waterproof, this is a home, although it is about to enter the summer, but it is still cold at night, how to keep out the cold in this kind of place? A large number of yellow-faced and thin-skinned people gathered at the door of the shack, looking at the cars that drove over with green eyes, watching Meng Soul's convoy coming, and a group of unkempt people surrounded them: "Okay, okay!" Give me something to eat! I haven't eaten in days! Li Ming picked up some canned food and instant noodles and planned to give them out, but Meng Soul grabbed him and shook his head: "Don't suffer from widowhood but unevenness, if you give one and don't give the other, someone will come and smash our car and rob us of our things!" Before the words were finished, some people approached with wooden sticks and machetes in their hands, and Meng Soul and the others picked up the 81 bar and got out of the car to stop many mobs who were about to rush up and smash the car and grab things.

Meng Soul frowned and looked at the mob that had retreated to the shack, why was the official gathering point so chaotic? Just walked a few steps, Meng Soul and a few people were surrounded again, this time it was a group of women, wearing heavy makeup and wearing very revealing clothes, "Handsome guy come to play, only three catties of rice at a time!" The other pulled away the woman who was entwined with Meng Soul: "You are worth three catties of rice like that?" Handsome guy look at me, two catties of rice is enough! Meng Soul suddenly had a big head like a fight, Zhang Jun and others were even more red and at a loss, and finally got rid of the entanglement of the women, Meng Soul and several people walked along the road, walked through a meadow, it was a villa area, the towering wall surrounded the entire villa area, there was a sandbag fortification at the intersection of the villa area, a few soldiers guarded the door, saw two cars coming, the soldier's gun was aimed at the convoy: "Stop and check!" After showing the certificate of the bridge, and paying another bag of rice, Meng Soul and the others entered the inner city area, the inner city area was obviously much stronger than the outside, the ground was cleaned, and from time to time a team of soldiers patrolled by, and was walking forward, a woman stopped Meng Soul's car: "You are all new here, right?" You'll need a guide, or you'll need a piece of bread or a bag of instant noodles if you don't know the rules of this place. Although the woman was dressed relatively cleanly, her face was yellow and thin, and it was obvious that she hadn't eaten well for a long time, but if she looked closely, she was a very delicate girl, just hungry, Meng Soul got out of the car and threw her a piece of bread: "How do you know that we are new?" ”

The woman took the bread and could obviously see that she swallowed her saliva, but carefully packed the noodles in the side pocket and smiled: "I've been in the inner city area for three or four months, and I've never seen you, I'm already familiar with this place." ”

Meng Soul smiled: "Take us to find a place to live, and then introduce the situation of the official gathering point." Saying that, Meng Soul took out another piece of bread, "It's yours to do it!" ”

The girl's name is Li Ke, just twenty years old this year, originally in school, because of illness at home to recuperate, after the disaster broke out, evacuated with her father to the gathering place, his father was a battalion commander of the reserve anti-aircraft artillery regiment, after retreating to the inner city, everything was fine, her father was also an officer with troops, but I didn't expect the inner city factional struggle, her father was killed after being besieged by zombies in the process of a mission, although I knew who assassinated, but there was no evidence, and there was no strength to take revenge, since then their family's status has plummeted, She and her mother were about to be kicked out, but fortunately their father's old subordinates gave them some convenience, and they were left to do some chores and work as guides in the inner city to make ends meet, but how many strangers could come to the inner city? The little food he received every day was barely enough to make ends meet.

The inner city forces are divided into three, the remnants of the original reserve anti-aircraft artillery regiment and the reserve infantry regiment, the original X city government and the police and fire brigade, and an alien underworld organization, which used to be black and white, but they didn't expect that after the end of the day, they occupied a warehouse with weapons in reserve, and got a large number of Type 56, occupying a force in the inner city, the three forces are the strongest, the gangsters are second, and the city government is lagging behind, Li Ke's father was assassinated by the gangsters, but the gangs are powerful, No one can engage in a head-on conflict for the sake of an officer.

The difference between the inner city and the outer city is too great, the inner city has half a catty of fine grain and half a catty of coarse grain per person every day, and the outer city only has half a catty of coarse grain every day, and there are patrols in the inner city, and the security is much better, and the people in the outer city want to come in and settle down, they must pay 500 catties of rice at one time, or 10,000 rounds of ammunition, so that they can get a house and have a fixed place to stay, "You have to pay an entry fee every time you come from outside, and there is a special hotel to live in after entering the city, and there is a curfew at night, and you can stay for 5 days when you come in, When the time comes, you need to renew the entrance fee or leave, and you can't get the daily ration, so if you want to eat, you have to cook it yourself, or pay bullets or food to the restaurant to order food, and if you want to live all the time, you have to go to the household office to get such an identity certificate. Saying that, Li Ke took out a yellow plastic card the size of a bank card, with a number, name, and residential area in the inner city, "The card in the outer city is blue, and you must handle the outer city first, and then you can handle the inner city." ”

Everyone walked all the way and talked about the situation in the inner city, and in less than 20 minutes, everyone was taken to the hotel by Li Ke, a small three-story building, there was a counter at the gate, and behind the counter sat a woman with heavy makeup, Li Ke walked to the counter: "Boss, three rooms." ”

"Yo, Ke'er, brought guests here, and so much?" The thick powder on the proprietress was buckled on her face like a shell, and her smile was about to crack, "Uncle, welcome!" Please show me your entrance pass and I'll register you."

Meng Soul and the seven people took out the entrance card, and after the proprietress registered: "I live for 5 days, a total of 15 catties of rice, 300 rifle bullets, no food, and a pot of hot water is provided for each house every day." Meng Soul took out a magazine and threw it over, and the proprietress hurriedly took the magazine, and her smiling face was about to bloom: "Come on, come on, everyone go upstairs with me." "Took Meng Soul and others to the third floor, the room was very clean, but it could be seen that no one had lived in it for a long time, a few people entered the room, Meng Soul and Li Ming were in one room, and the remaining few people were assigned by themselves.

Li Ke stood at the door and looked at Meng Soul with a blank eye, Meng Soul took out ten bags of instant noodles from his backpack, a box of canned beef, and filled Li Ke with 5 catties of rice, Li Ke was a little overwhelmed with things, suddenly seemed to remember something, his cheeks were slightly red, Meng Soul looked at Li Ke standing at the door and playing with his face, a little puzzled: "Do you have anything else?" Li Ke's face turned even redder: "Mr. Meng, why are you giving me so many things?" ”

You must know that you can find a girl to play with 2 catties of rice in the outer city for a night, the best girl in the inner city is only 4 catties of rice, two bags of instant noodles can be exchanged for a catty of rice, canned beef can be exchanged for 20 catties of rice in the black market, such a big bunch of things, plus rations, is enough for their family to live for more than a month, this cannibalistic world, it is impossible not to let her think more.

Meng Soul looked confused: "You did a good job, showed us the way, and introduced the situation here, this is a reward for you." ”

Li Kesheng said like a mosquito: "I'm sorry Mr. Meng, I'm not the kind of person who works. ”

Meng Soul was drinking water, and almost choked to death when he heard the words, and said while coughing: "You think too much, I'm not a pervert, go home quickly!" Li Ke turned around and ran downstairs with a red face, and when Meng Soul was about to close the door, Li Ke ran up again, panting and said: "Mr. Meng, I forgot to tell you just now, you guys are just in time, there is a trade fair in the inner city tomorrow, you can buy a lot of things, I can take you to see it then, I will come to you tomorrow and take you over." After speaking, without waiting for Meng Soul to answer, he ran downstairs in a puff......
