Chapter 140: Encounters in Leisure Time
He Hao left the barracks with his injuries and Xiaobei, he didn't think that such a rare leisure time should be spent in a hospital bed.
Walking on the familiar streets of the Morning Light Base, there is no longer the feeling that it once had, because all people and things seem to be covered with frost - lifeless.
Only a few people wandered through the still wide streets, dressed in dirty clothes of no apparent color, unkempt, searching for anything to burn, and then carried into tents.
A woman draped in a quilt with a misshapen baby in her arms, the child had no eyes, and under the open nose were cleft into several cleft rabbit lips. The woman was on her knees, begging for food from every member of the clan who passed by.
Some people are missing a leg. Carrying a cane made of wood, he exchanged the last bit of food in his hand for the crumbs of the crystallized beads, and then used it to go to the barracks in exchange for antibiotics. Otherwise, that rotten leg would have made him have a high fever......
He Hao looked at the humble survivor in the Chenguang base, but there was no trace of waves on his face.
"They're so pathetic." After all, Xiaobei is just a girl, and when she sees these scenes, her heart aches. So he deliberately said these words in order to make He Hao show mercy to them.
How could He Hao not be able to guess Xiaobei's thoughts, and said with a rare smile: "Do you really think those people are pitiful?"
"Of course."
Hearing what Xiaobei said, He Hao stretched out his hand and pointed to the brown mud under the tent and said, "Why do they prefer to endure the smoke and burn the fire inside the tent instead of outside?"
"Afraid it's not warm enough?"
"And what about the blood-soaked land?"
"Could it be ......" Becky's expression became a little disgusted.
Then, He Hao pointed to the woman kneeling on the ground and said, "Look at the deformed child in his arms, do you think that a loving mother will let her already unfortunate child stay in the cold of more than minus 40 degrees?"
Becky was dumbfounded.
He Hao looked at the various survivors on the street and whispered: "The last days have distorted human nature, since you can't see their hearts, stay away from poor and hateful them." Do not be merciful, for it is your greatest enemy in the last days. β
Xiaobei looked at He Hao's back. Yes, not quite. She didn't know if He Hao's words were completely correct, so she could only slowly understand it......
In addition to these poor people, patients abound.
Under the radiation, some of the frail people have become living ghosts, and their faces are swollen with dense small blisters. Then they were frozen into thick sores at low temperatures, and they couldn't stand the itchy stinging, so they wrapped several layers of cotton cloth, but the end result was that the breathless skin became rotten and bigger. At the end of the day, they don't care......
Not only that, but the outbreak of SARS is even worse than a month ago. The occasional corpse in the corner of the base is not uncommon. The living are no longer so afraid of being infected. Because they have become numb in this hell......
Compared to these survivors of suffering, the members of the team are in high spirits. The polarization of the situation has turned the entire base into a land of fire and ice.
After the block, you can see a different scene on the commercial street -
Hobby huts serving alcohol, exchanges, iron shops, private food stations, weapons shops, clothing stores, etc. Not only did they open up with the military's shops, but they even set up a recycling station for scientific and technological materials in the center of this shopping street.
There you can exchange all the technological equipment, mysterious metals, metal cubes, meteorites, energy crystals for a lot of things - real delicious food, beautiful and warm new clothes, healthy women without disease and even children......
He Hao's face became more and more ugly as he walked on the commercial street. Because he knew that the Chenguang base had deviated from its original development track.
It has gone bad under Liu Weijie's governance!
The end times, a terrible environment. I really don't know what the world will be like if it continues like this......
He Hao sighed lightly, and instead turned back to the barracks in the base, he needed to readjust his supplies and exchange the hobbies he had brought from the Marina Hotel for something of value as much as possible.
And at this moment, Xiao Chuan led a few members of the Iron Fist to find him.
As soon as the two sides looked at each other, they said excitedly: "Brother Hao! It's true! It's true! β
"What really?" He Hao asked Xiao Chuan who didn't know what to do, so he asked suspiciously.
"Team Liao is really dead!" Xiao Chuan's words made He Hao's face appear a little embarrassed, as long as people who were not stupid could see the meaning of that expression: "Have you never believed me?" β
Xiao Kushi suddenly realized that what he said was very inappropriate, and he laughed dryly. Then he said: "Brother Hao! I didn't mean that, but I couldn't believe what you said before. β
He Hao also smiled and shook his head slightly.
Xiao String then clapped his hands, rejuvenated his ecstatic color and said: "I have recently delivered the mission with the army, and successfully exchanged 1500 contribution points!" Do you know how far our Iron Fist has advanced now? β
"To what extent?"
"Elite B-class! 1 car was also awarded! β
He Hao was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the Iron Fist team to develop so rapidly. Then he asked, "How much contribution do we have in total?" β
Xiao Kuan opened the knee-length military coat he was wearing, and carefully took out a wallet from the exposed close-fitting backpack. Then from the mezzanine, he took out a thick handful of contribution points. And said complacently: "Counting the bounty of the Liao team, a total of 2200!" The fraction is still on the account......"
Before the words fell, He Hao snatched those contribution value coupons from his hand, and then walked past the stunned Xiao String and said, "Take my share, and yours will also trouble to lend me." β
"What!" Xiao Chuan blinked, and then chased after He Hao, walking left and right, crying and begging: "Don't!" Other! Brother Hao. Let's discuss! Brother Hao...... Brother Hao! β
He Hao turned around and smiled, nodded his finger and said, "This is non-negotiable, I will earn it back for you in a few days!" β
"Brother Hao! Leave some! The brothers are still waiting to start the fire and eat!" Xiao Chuan regretted his sassy bag and watched He Hao go away in a daze.
"Don't you have a fraction? Just use that......" He Hao said, and then waved his hand without moving. Only the little string was left to squat on the ground with his head drooped, rubbing his forehead.
The members of the Iron Fist, who watched the whole process, were completely dumbfounded.
"Is this true? One of the team members actually borrowed all the contribution points from the captain! Then one of them leaned into Xiao Kuan's ear and said, "Captain...... What kind of thing is that kid? Why don't I kill him for you? β
Xiao Chuan turned his head and changed into the face of a superior person and scolded: "Get out!" β
β¦β¦
He Hao, who once again carried a large handful of bonds, was very happy. When he remembered the materials and the remaining bonds he had lost in Jinnian Elementary School before, he couldn't help frowning.
His uncertain appearance made Xiaobei on the side look at it, and she thought in disbelief: "It turns out that He Hao actually has so many expressions......"
Just after this episode, He Hao and Xiaobei came to the parking lot and met the old Wang Tou, who was repairing the car alone. He Hao began to move things down from the car without saying a word, which startled the old Wang Tou, and when he saw that it was He Hao, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"What? Are you here alone? He Haojian's old king reacted so much that he couldn't help but have some doubts. Then he asked, "What about Yin Xiao, isn't he in charge of guarding the vehicle?" β
"Hmph......" The old king turned his head directly, didn't say anything, and began to be busy with his little things again.
"Did you just leave......" He Hao guessed. He felt that he had mistaken Yin Xiao, and it was better to save a dog, at least it would squat in front of the car and bark a few times at those who coveted it......
"Forget it." He Hao comforted himself in his heart not to lose his good mood because of this. Then I moved the tobacco, alcohol and tea.
β¦β¦
When He Hao and Xiaobei came to the wine hut with these things, they found that the number of people gathered here far exceeded their imagination, and the more than 80 square meters of spliced plate room was very exquisitely decorated. The dimly lit night set has finishing lights, and even a slightly cacophony of speakers playing blues.
On the brand-new small military table, there are aromatherapy cups. A plastic water sheet is on the side, surrounded by small chairs with the same backrest.
What made He Hao even more unbelievable was that there was a warm air flow in the air. Following the breeze, a fan heater was prominently placed in the corner of the room.
Look out at the windy streets, and look at this hut again. It really feels like you're back in the pre-apocalyptic world.
Just when He Hao and Xiaobei looked around like a dirt bun. A decently dressed bearded man walked over and waved his hand at He Hao, who was wearing a torn military uniform, and motioned for him to leave the place.
Seeing this, Xiaobei said angrily: "The dog's eyes look down on people. β
He Hao is not angry, because he has seen a lot of this kind of person.
The mustache glanced at Xiaobei, looked at He Hao again, and said jokingly: "This is the place to receive the 'nobles' of the base, not a miscellaneous fish like you should come." Then he pointed to a large tent around the corner outside the door and said, "The old ladies in the pink room are your choice." The premise is that you have something you can get your hands on, such as this girl next to you. β
The sarcastic words were undisguised, killing two birds with one stone, insulting He Hao and Xiaobei.
"You!" Although Xiaobei thinks quickly, she still has no room to refute in the face of a flamboyant person. The pestle with a red face can only be kept in place.
"Hee-hee."
"Haha."
The captains of the sits around them, shrilling their laughter. There was even a scar-faced strong man who stood up from the chair, hooked his hand at Xiaobei and said, "Little chick, come and play." Uncle has a 'lollipop' here. β
Everyone laughed even more, and even the naked service women around couldn't help but glance at Xiaobei, and then echoed to their regular customers: "Her 'mouth' is still small, don't bite your candy." β
"It's not small, you can stuff a melon with that look."
When Xiao Bei heard this, he actually put away the anger just now and changed his expression to a cold expression. He Hao lowered his head and looked at Xiaobei's appearance, and actually smiled. Then he patted her on the shoulder, signaling her to be calm. And the wrapped tobacco, alcohol and tea were shown to the mustache.
At first the man was dismissive, but after a curious glance, his face turned red, and even the mocking sneer was gone.
"This!" The mustache was surprised, he looked up at He Hao suddenly, and then whispered, "I'm sorry! Mr...... I ......"
He Hao raised his hand to signal him to shut up, and then asked, "Do you accept it?" β
"Of course!" The mustache smiled, only this time with a respectful smile.
"What price?" As He Hao spoke, he took down the water bill from the table next to him and learned about the market first. This move caused dissatisfaction among the 4 Gu guests at that table.
3 lean men.
1 woman with heavy makeup.
"Hey! Boy, are you a little rude? One of the thin men said as he took a puff of his cigarette. When he got up, he spat the smoke on He Hao's face.
Xiaobei was slightly stunned when he saw this, and then took a step forward, but the hand that reached into his waist was stopped by He Hao again. She looked at He Hao puzzled, and finally didn't dare to move.
He Hao kept smiling, scratching the corners of his eyes with his fingers. And then all of a sudden angry stare at each other!
The eyes shrank suddenly, and the snow-white eyeballs were covered with a few tiny strands of blood. The trembling inky pupils seemed to be able to exude a chill. When this cold air that did not exist at all, like a wave bursting a levee, rushed towards the man. The other party trembled, as if his soul had been frozen into ice by He Hao's cold air, and then shattered into ice crystals and dust in an instant, and finally disappeared with the wind......
The burning cigarette slipped between the thin man's fingers, and then staggered back half a step and slumped into his chair. A fine cold sweat instantly covered his face. Even with a sharp corner on the tip of his nose, he looked at He Hao with trembling lips. And he didn't move......
"What's wrong with you?" The thin man's companions looked at him in bewilderment, and when they looked up at He Hao again, he had already led Xiaobei to the room behind the bar with the mustache.
After all this, the thin man muttered slowly, "He will kill me, he will definitely kill me......"
He Hao and Xiaobei walked into the room.
There were 4 strong men in full armor inside. Behind the table surrounded by a strong man, a short man with crossed legs sits. He played with the dagger, picked at the dirt between his fingernails, and tucked a cigarette between his thick upturned lips. Even he himself has forgotten his name, but he remembers that everyone will call him - Yanheng.
After the mustache muttered a few words in Yanheng's ear, the dwarf's face also changed. Then he looked at him with a disbelieving expression, and then looked at He Hao.
"Make an offer." He Hao continued to look at the prices of the representative commodities in the water list in his hand. At the same time, I weighed the price of my hobby materials in my heart-
Blacktower Smoke: 0. 1 project value/root (pre-apocalyptic price: 7/pack)
Chaohua Smoke: 0. 5 project value/root (pre-apocalyptic price: 45/pack)
Bichun leaf: 1 engineering value/cup (pre-apocalyptic price: 15/pot)
Yuanqing leaf: 2 engineering value/cup (pre-apocalyptic price: 30/pot)
Beer: 2 engineering value/cup (pre-apocalyptic price: 3/bottle)
Hongxing liquor: 1 contribution value/cup (before the end of the world: 20/bottle)
Yucheng Red Wine: 3 contribution points/glass (price before the end of the world: 100/bottle)
"Actually use the project value and contribution value as the trading unit......" He Hao looked at the water list, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. How many people in the last days died of exhaustion on the construction site for a mouthful of food worth a few projects; Or die at the mouth of a zombie. And at this moment, it has become a squander of the capital of many team captains!
Although he still said that, He Hao didn't mind earning the contribution points in the hands of these wronged bosses! When thinking about this, He Hao also calculated the price of cigarettes in his mind-
1 box = 20 pieces.
20 strips = 200 packs.
200 packs = 4000 roots.
The price of quintessential cigarettes is more than double that of Chaohua cigarettes. Then the price of this box of quintessential cigarettes is at least 4000 engineering value, and the final 5:1 ratio is converted into contribution value, which is 800 contribution value!
As for the wine and nearly 10,000 tea products that cost more than tens of thousands before the end of the world, I'm afraid it is difficult to estimate!
But the result was far beyond He Hao's expectations.
Yan Heng, he held out a finger.
He Hao's face changed slightly and said, "What? 10,000 contribution points to collect all my supplies? β
The people around laughed, and so did Yan Heng. Then the dwarf whispered, "Yes, it's all." But I contributed 100 points. β
