For Luo Ling, who has the grace of saving his life, Song Yizhou can also be regarded as a grateful and affectionate person. On the second day after returning to the base, Song Yizhou came to Luo Ling early and volunteered to be a free tour guide for Luo Ling very enthusiastically.

"You don't have to work?" For Song Yizhou's kindness, Luo Ling's way to repay him was to say a few more words.

"I'm a research assistant, and to put it bluntly, I'm a follower, and of course the follower doesn't count. I'm afraid I'll have to spend some time idle until my teacher finds out. When it comes to work, Song Yizhou seems a little listless.

"Raised by the authorities?"

"How is that possible?" Song Yizhou pouted, "Now there is no good thing to get paid without contribution, which industry is a radish and a pit, not only do you have to do it, but you also have to have achievements, although my position is still there, but in fact, I am unemployed!" ”

"So, what's the plan?"

"Although I won't starve to death in the short term, I still have two mouths to eat at home, so I'm coming to you!" Song Yizhou gritted his teeth at Luo Ling, the two rows of teeth seemed to be specially used for cutting meat, and Luo Ling was a fat enough sheep.

Luo Ling was slightly stunned and smiled softly. Compared with those hypocrites who are pretending to be three, a real villain like Song Yizhou is also cute. He knew that Song Yizhou would definitely give him a satisfactory explanation, so he waited for the rest while walking.

Sure enough, Song Yizhou saw that Luo Ling had a good reaction, and immediately smashed his half-truths, "I think you need an agent!" ”

Seeing that Luo Ling was noncommittal, Song Yizhou said: "When I saw you at first, I was very suspicious for a while, suspecting that you were a 'magic dog', sorry!" ”

"Demon dog, is it a human traitor who has defected to the devil?" Luo Ling asked.

Song Yizhou nodded, "Almost all the survivor bases in this region of Guang'an have suffered the loss of the demon dog, and two of them have even completely fallen because of the demon dog, I heard them say, the scene is called a miserable, that is, when the gate of the abyss was opened, there were few scenes of human beings being slaughtered so intensively, it was simply a slaughterhouse, and the blood and water did not pass the feet of people!" For this reason, one of the armorers who went to the rescue had a nervous breakdown. ”

"Internal sabotage, it's terrible indeed! And now, why not doubt? ”

"Yesterday, I consulted with someone, and he gave some judgments, and the results are basically similar to the analysis of you by the two chiefs of the Anshun Street base, that is, you are more likely to be a survivor of the 'wild road'."

"There is a special person to analyze, and you can also know the content of the conversation of the base commander, it seems that you have a very wide network!"

"It's a little advantage, otherwise would you dare to recommend yourself as an agent?" Song Yizhou took a small shot.

"Judging by the housing allocation, the authorities' wariness of me has not been removed."

"It's normal for people to be scared! It takes a little time and a little bit of achievement, and the suspicion will naturally fade. ”

"Hmmm! This explanation is reasonable. Let's talk about the benefits of having you as a broker! ”

"Then I'll be straight! You are like a hunter who has lived in the mountains for a long time, and your hunting ability is very strong, but in terms of negotiation and communication, I think that with your 'simplicity', you are likely to be deceived. Moreover, it is often slaughtered. Our harvest is also earned by blood and sweat, why do we cheapen others? You said no? And I have an advantage in this area, so the first advantage is that I won't be slaughtered, and good things can be sold for a good price. ”

Luo Ling nodded.

Seeing Luo Ling's approval, Song Yizhou's spirit became even more sufficient, "This second, the starting point is because you are more 'simple'." Compared with two years ago, the current social system and various social phenomena have changed dramatically. You break in headlong, you don't know why at all, and you even feel that you have nowhere to start, with me, there will be no such embarrassment, quickly adapt to this society, and take fewer detours, isn't this much better than crossing the river by feeling the stones alone? ”

Luo Ling nodded again.

Song Yizhou continued with a smile: "Third, in this strange city, when it comes to acquaintances, I should be the first!" Besides, you are my savior, so I can't take revenge because of reason, right? Who could be more trustworthy than me? Of course, I can't stick to my face, we can talk about performance, one day you adapt to life here, and think that I am not qualified as an agent, you can change it! ”

"That's it! And for good reason! You'll be my economist from now on! ”

"Great! We don't have to sign any contracts, but I can say that you have to listen to me in some matters, not impulsively, and besides, don't use violence against me! ”

Luo Ling smiled, "Do you think I have a tendency to abuse people?" ”

"It is said that you went berserk in the infirmary, and my small body can't stand your grip." Song Yizhou said 'resentfully'.

"Okay, I promise, no violence will be used against you!"

“OK！”

With Song Yizhou, the two of them turned around seven times and eight times, and when they came out of an alley, Luo Ling only felt that his eyes suddenly opened up.

This is a pedestrian street that can not see the end at a glance, the road is ten meters wide, the shops on the side of the road are lined up one after another, all kinds of neon signs are dazzling, the street is bustling, rubbing shoulders, the degree of prosperity, compared with the commercial street in the past, is not much more.

Song Yizhou said with a little smugness: "A little dumbfounded!" Humanity did not retreat to the Stone Age of bartering because of the complete fall of the earth's surface, but embarked on the path of city-state development. Take the Anshun Street base as an example, with a population of more than 12,000, and now, underground farms, underground planting sheds, and various underground industries have blossomed and begun to provide security for the survival of survivors. I've heard that there are underground cities with a population of more than one million! It's really amazing to think about it, the population of all the survivor bases in our Guang'an region combined doesn't seem to exceed 400,000. ”

"I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect people's adaptability to be so good, it's so lively here!"

Song Yizhou said again: "It's not all about adaptability!" Today is a trading day, similar to the old fair, with mobile shops selling various supplies in several places. There aren't many people who have leisure to go around like this on weekdays, and they all have to run around for a living. ”

"Oh!" It is not surprising that the current survivor base is located in the middle of nowhere, and this kind of market-like trading method was born.

"Let's go! Talk as you go. Song Yizhou accompanied Luo Ling and talked eloquently: "The current survivors are like a big nest or a dozen nests of mice, some are in contact with each other, some are not, some are integrating, some are working alone, some are playing democracy, some are playing constitutional monarchy, and some are typical feudal systems, and there are even more naked mountain king-style ...... Therefore, when it comes to social forms, it cannot be said to be a regression, it can only be said that it is colorful and a hundred schools of thought contend! ”

"The number of survivors is much larger than I thought."

"Well, theoretically, human beings are in a hurry to fight, defeat after defeat, coupled with the lack of various means of subsistence, even if they are not killed, they will starve to death. There is nothing unreasonable about this reasoning, the only thing that is not considered is that when the countries secretly studied the application of magic, they were actually prepared for a long time, and many masters had already anticipated the irreversible disaster, so they made quite adequate preparations. ”

"Furthermore, the research on the application of magic is not for nothing, just look at the current application of magic in all aspects. This is also one of the main factors that allow survivors to quickly restore order to their lives. ”

"Third, the gates of the abyss around the world are not opened on the same day, and although mankind is losing one after another, it has taken 41 days from the beginning of the war to the complete fall of the earth's surface, and in some places it is even longer. This gives people with a long-term vision enough time to plan for future survival. ”

"For example, here, Anshun Street Base, Lin Xiang and Ma Lulu, the two military and political officers of the base, one was a representative of the Municipal People's Congress, and the other was a soldier. It is largely independent, and most of the survivors are refugees who had almost nothing at the end of the war, and their foundations are thinner than those of other bases. Maybe it's because they're all poor enough, but everyone's centripetal force and unity are better than other bases......"

Song Yizhou's explanation gave Luo Ling a considerable understanding of the current situation, and while rejoicing for the survivors, he also sighed secretly, from a certain point of view, for the people, the world never seems to have changed much, the difference is a good or bad ruler......

Looking up inadvertently, Luo Ling saw from the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the store that it was a young girl wearing a pitiful translucent underwear and a sassy posture! A glance at the streets shows that there are so many such windows on both sides of the street, and the girls in them are bold and exposed, and they are extremely seductive, which is the most sexually open street of Amsterdam in those years, and it is not as good as it.

Song Yizhou on the side introduced: "This section is called Camouflage Alley, but people are used to calling it 'Selling Alley', all of these things, as long as you have money, how you want to play, this is a legal business, and it will never be swept away!" ”

Looking at Luo Ling's expression, Song Yizhou had already guessed his general thoughts, "Do you think you are degenerate?" ”

Luo Ling pursed his lips in acknowledgement.

"There is also a legal human trafficking market in front of it, a fairly complete system, and all kinds of systems and norms are available, to put it bluntly, it is a slave market."

“……”

Song Yizhou explained: "Now, agriculture, industry, etc., are in full recovery, yes, although the living materials are not abundant, but it is true that people will not starve to death." That's in terms of total value, though. ”

Sighing, Song Yizhou continued: "People are forgetful, and now it is no longer than the beginning of the collective suffering, and it is no longer the unity and solidarity of the people at that time. With the passage of time, the physical and mental wounds are gradually smoothed out or numb, and at the same time, the life gap caused by various factors is also reflected. ”

"Do you think there is true equality in this world?" Song Yizhou suddenly asked Luo Ling.

Luo Ling thought about it seriously, and then shook his head.

"I don't think so!" Song Yi pursed his mouth again and said: "The most basic thing is that people have different circumstances and different abilities, even if they stand on the same starting line, there will be a gap gradually. Finally, everyone who was poor and white at the beginning has reached now, some are rich, some are living a stable life, some are still struggling on the poverty line, and some are still unable to live......"

Pointing to the shop window, and then pointing to the front, Song Yizhou said with a solemn expression: "Here, and in the slave market, what they want is not to enjoy, what they want is just to live!" Survival, it's a really serious problem. Women and children, these vulnerable groups, who were originally protected by men with their lives, are now almost abandoned. Why? Who but their families really cares if they live or die? In those tragic battles, the word 'protection' is often equivalent to exchanging one's own life for the life of one's family! ”

"The war has caused many men to die, and this loss is still continuing, do you know the ratio of men and women in this region of Guang'an? 1:4, a terrifying number! Even if there are many women who do not allow their eyebrows to be shaved, their natural physical weakness cannot be remedied. In this era of hunting and foraging, when everyone has to choose the return of animal nature in order to survive, in general, women are not comparable to men. There is also not enough industry in the base to house them, so what else can they do except to cling to the powerful and cater to the powerful? ”

After a long time, Luo Ling said: "Nothing is more important than survival!" This sentence is not only his sympathy for the disadvantaged, but also his own feelings, his own rough experience, is to use blood and tears to explain this truth.

Song Yizhou took over and said: "So, instead of using Qinggao as respect, it is better to greet their business, they are also exchanging labor for a chance to survive." Or, if you are able, go to the slave market and buy two for later use, and it will be considered a good deed. If there is a way, who wants to do it themselves? The current years are the hardest, get through it, I believe it will get better! ”

After a conversation, Luo Ling's impression of Song Yizhou changed a lot, this person, even if he is a villain, is also a villain with some conscience.

"Where are we going now?"

"Bar!"

"Bar?" Luo Ling almost couldn't help but want to retract the evaluation just now.

"That's right! Only bars offer single rooms, and the first step is to do an asset appraisal. At the same time, it is necessary for you to understand some rules and quotes in order to make reasonable investments and consumption. ”
