Chapter 143: Entering the Base
Wu Bin looked inexplicable, and looked at several policemen with emotion, they were colleagues yesterday, but this damn virus made him dare not even show his true face now, and he hated those who spread the virus more and more in his heart.
Lu Tian lowered his head, looking honest, Li Qingxue and the four of them were in front of him, and several men were crowded behind, looking like pig brothers, so that several women stayed away with some disgust, these guys had already stuck to them all the way, if it weren't for Lu Tian and Wu Bin in the way, these people would have done something to them a long time ago.
But now that they are here, they are acting honestly, but their eyes keep glancing at Li Qingxue, and they are really attracted by Li Qingxue's beauty.
The two policemen, both in their thirties, were tall, with a cigarette in their mouths, and didn't talk much, leading Lu Tian and them to a makeshift square and leaving.
This is between two small mountains, thousands of square meters wide, and there are some weeds on the ground, which should be temporarily sorted out by the base.
Several armored vehicles were parked in front, hundreds of heavily armed SWAT officers with guns standing next to them, and in front of them were rows of vehicles, both police cars and other trucks, forming a fortification to separate the crowd, and many people entered and exited through several passes in this line of defense.
Lu Tian took a closer look and found that the far right was the exit, and the people inside could easily come out, while the large area on the left was full of passages to receive survivors, and there were more than ten rows, thousands of people waiting, making a buzzing discussion.
And in the middle is the exit of the vehicle, from time to time there are military vehicles and trucks in and out, and next to this big exit is also an exit, where people come in and out with a strange card, it seems that with that card there is no need to go through inspection.
New survivors joined from time to time, and the length of the entire queue basically did not change much, although the time of the inspection was a little slow, but fortunately, it was checked in batches, and they arrived in Lutian after half an hour.
Several people didn't speak, and passed through a pass according to the instructions of the inspectors, in fact, they had just passed the first inspection, and no one was zombied for half an hour, indicating that Lu Tian and these people were not infected.
A policeman stood on a platform and said loudly to dozens of people: "Listen, I'll just say a word, after you enter the base, you must obey our management, the staff can arrange a place for you to live, if you have relatives and friends inside, you can go to them first, in addition, you can go to receive a ration and drinking water every day, and you need to solve it yourself, now there are too many people in the base, it is impossible to distribute too much food."
"Your money is still useful, but now that prices have risen sharply, a hundred yuan can only come to a pound of rice, so you'd better not spend money indiscriminately, and save a little bit so as not to starve to death."
The inspection here was simple, and these people didn't touch the survivors' things, but simply registered their ID cards, and didn't even care about the knives and sticks and other weapons that these people carried.
The policeman standing on the stage said a lot, mainly about the survival of eating at the base, and also briefly talked about the rules inside.
And more detailed, you only need to buy a copy of the information yourself, and this information costs ten yuan, which is worth one or two rice.
Many of these survivors were talking about it, but they didn't have many opinions, and now they thought about having a place to stay, and it was not too late to wait until they got to sleep.
Walking out of the somewhat oppressive atmosphere, everyone's voices involuntarily became louder, and the special police officers with guns just now had caused them a lot of pressure, and now that they had the opportunity to release, they all talked about it unceremoniously.
"Do you want the necessary information for the survivors of the base, it's only five yuan!"
"The accommodation provided, with water and electricity, was definitely better than the official one."
"Sell breakfast, buns, egg fritters!"
……
Walking out of the last line of defense, turning over an earthen wall, there was an uproar, and everyone seemed to have entered the vegetable market, looking at the lively scene in front of them, even Lu Tian was stunned for a second.
The familiar scene, how much this looks like before Resident Evil, all kinds of vendors, all kinds of food, so that everyone who has just escaped from the death line has not come back to their senses for a while.
But the dozens of people of all colors waiting on the side were not stunned, they all enthusiastically ran up to ask for warmth, and then sold their own things.
"This handsome guy, do you want to have a copy of the information, it contains all the information that the survivors need to know, as long as it is ten fast, it is definitely worth the money!"
A woman who looks like an aunt has her eyes lit up, and she ran to Lu Tian for a burst of sales.
Lu Tian's face was expressionless, Wu Bin and Li Qingxue were a little moved, they also heard the policeman say that one needs ten yuan.
"Is it really only ten dollars?" Lu Tian looked meaningfully at this aunt who looked honest on the outside, but her eyes kept turning.
"Of course, am I going to lie to you? Beauty, do you want to have a copy too, it's important to you new survivors. ”
Li Qingxue didn't care too much, she had money, smiled slightly, and said generously: "Auntie, come to six!"
She took out a hundred dollars from her pants bag and handed it to the aunt.
"Hehe, aunt told you, you will definitely think this information is worth it."
The aunt happily accepted the money, then found forty yuan, and then followed another person.
"This handsome guy, do you want the necessary information for survivors, it's only ten yuan here, they all bought it, you can have a copy too."
Li Qingxue handed the information to the rest of the people, Lu Tian looked at the information printed on A4 paper, and the five words "Survivor Essentials" were written on the cover, there were about ten pages, and there was a lot of information on it.
Lu Tian smiled inexplicably, just now he learned a lot of things through his spiritual power, most of the vendors here are taking advantage of the fact that these new survivors don't understand the situation and want to make a profit, the things here are generally higher than other places, such as this information, in other places it is almost a big road goods, where will it cost 10 yuan, and the policeman is estimated to be a trust.
Of course, Lu Tian didn't care about this money, so he didn't stop Li Qingxue, he gently flipped through this information and swept it in rows.
At the beginning, there are some messages from the central government, which generally talk about some of the central government's policies to deal with the crisis, and then there is an introduction to the virus.
The first three pages are obviously messages from the central government, densely packed with tens of thousands of words, and the most critical thing about some basic information in the back is the issue of money.
With the country behind it, the entire monetary system has not collapsed, and although inflation is severe, everyone can still use the previous money to buy things and services.
What surprised Lu Tian the most was that not only cash could be used, but even the money that had been deposited in the bank before could also be used, and there was a special temporary bank at the base where money could be withdrawn.
The above simply lists the prices of dozens of daily necessities, such as rice is 107 yuan a catty, flour is 111, pork costs more than 500 to buy a catty, beef costs more than 2,000, vegetables are also very expensive, and the most common cabbage costs more than 200.
Except for Lu Tian and Li Qingxue, the rest of the people all made exclamatory sounds, especially Wu Xiaoyin, who looked like he was making a fuss.
"That's too expensive, isn't it? An egg costs fifty, this is even more outrageous, the original ordinary cigarette that only costs ten yuan actually costs five hundred, which is directly fifty times. ”
They continued to look down, only to find that what they had just said was quite little, and the cheapest rent cost 20,000 a month, which simply blinded everyone's eyes.
After seeing such a high price, the excitement of the people, who were still a little happy, had already been shocked beyond the sky.
Many people's faces were a little ugly, especially some who didn't have much money, and they all subconsciously touched their wallets.
Most ordinary people's savings are tens of thousands of dollars, even if they are calculated according to the minimum consumption, and live in a room arranged by the government at the same time, and then only use 100 yuan a day, so it is estimated that the money will be gone for a few months at most.
And these materials are limited purchase requirements, ordinary people must not exceed 100 times the standard unit, for example, rice can not exceed 100 catties, and enterprises and other collectives can not exceed 1,000 times, and more than will be charged full handling fees, such as buying 1,000 catties of rice must give the price of 1,200 catties of rice, and must be registered, to prevent these rich people from hoarding.
Wang Mei smiled bitterly: "Now all those real estate have become garbage, and my money is estimated that I can't even afford to rent a good room."
Chen Yanlin was also a little bitter, "Sister Mei, you still have at least some savings, and the money in my intern card is not even 10,000, and I can't even afford a pack of Great China." ”
"Don't worry, I'll treat you to dinner, and then we'll find another place to live, how about it?"
Li Qingxue was a little surprised by such a high price, but when she thought of her net worth of hundreds of millions, she didn't care too much.
"Oh, I want a big lobster, Sister Snow."
Wu Xiaoyin didn't seem to be too short of money, and jumped up happily when she heard about eating, and Lu Tian was a little skeptical about whether she was a snacker.
Lu Tian didn't refuse, it's still early, and after they settle down, it's not too late to go to Su Yan and them.
Although the base was formerly a village, it is not small at all, there are not many high-rise buildings, but it seems more open, through the crowd, in front of which are roads leading to several directions for several days, and there are signs on the roads to sign the situation in all directions.
The rightmost side leads to the exit, and the three intersections on the right are divided into three districts: A, B, and C. Looking at the previous introduction, it should be a temporary residential area, and the widest road in the middle leads to the central square, which is also the commercial center of the base.
One of the roads on the left was written on the military sites, the other was the government offices, and now their obvious best place to go was the commercial center, where several women wanted to buy something.
There were a lot of people along the way, surrounded by residential buildings, and many hurried figures shuttled among them, although a group of beautiful women passed by, they only attracted some attention, and no one came to disturb Lu Tian and his group.
"Ah, there is electricity at the base, then my mobile phone can be used."
Wu Xiaoyin looked at the essential manual from time to time, and found that there was electricity available in some places, so he danced happily, and took out a pink mobile phone from his bag, looking like a mobile phone.
