Chapter 466: First Hope
The bone shield grinded through the heavy snow and slowly drove to the iron gate of the Hope Base, and as expected, a group of sentinels surrounded the bone shield.
The captain of the sentry at the head could not see through the metal windows, so he chiseled the door with the butt of his gun and shouted, "Get out of the car!" ā
He Hao pushed the door down and looked at each other, the sentry captain was also yellow and thin, but he was neat and tidy compared to the survivors, at least he had no patches on his military jacket, which was also clean.
"Outsiders?" The sentinel's cold face towards He Hao; The extravagant appearance was very unfamiliar, so he asked. The tone was not good, and I don't know where he got his sense of superiority.
"Hmm." He Hao responded.
"How many people are in the car?" The sentry commander asked, peeking inside the car.
"Four."
The captain of the sentry said, "Open the door of the carriage and see if there is anyone else inside." He said suspiciously, seeing that the bone shield was huge and might be hiding more survivors.
"The carriage can't be opened, but you can go in and have a look." He Hao said, but he didn't mean to turn sideways to avoid it. And the tone was cold, which made people chill even more than this winter.
The captain of the sentry glanced at He Hao, but he didn't dare to get into the car, he was worried that he would not return. After all, your life is your own, and you can't go in for official business. So he took a step back and said: "120 catties of food stamps for the first time and 30 catties of food stamps for the population." His tone was ruthless this time, probably to regain the face of his timidity just now.
"Isn't it 100 pounds for a vehicle and 20 pounds for a population!" Wasp rushed to the door of the car and responded unkindly, he didn't have a good impression of the sentries, so he exposed the sentry chief's favoritism in public.
"It's up! If you can't afford it, get out! I'm not going to stop you! The captain of the sentry was a little annoyed, glaring at the wasp and scolding. Then he muttered: "Where is the rabbit cub who doesn't open his eyes......"
He Hao stretched out his iron palm into the car, motioned for Xiaobei to take out the energy crystallization brick, and asked at the same time: "There are no food stamps, how much energy crystallization is needed?" ā
The sentinel was stunned for a moment, he had never seen anyone who would have an energy crystal brick, and very few people could take out a small bag of crystal beads.
ā240gā¦ā¦ No, 250g" The sentry captain raised the price again privately, and said a little woodenly, obviously he was already stupid.
He Hao directly threw three 100g crystalline bricks into the arms of the sentry chief, and then said, "Open the door." ā
The sentry leader trembled and stroked, and after identifying that the crystallized bricks emitting dazzling emerald light were genuine, he hurriedly smiled and responded: "You wait, I'll go ...... now."
The Bone Shield restarted and drove into a crack in the hydraulically propped metal wall. When parting, the sentry commander handed He Hao 4 identity cards, very ordinary IC cards, with no name and no surname on them. Then the sentry commander kindly said: "One for each person, every 7 days, if you postpone, you will be expelled, be careful of patrols and mobs." ā
He Hao nodded, and drove into the Hope Base.
Along the way, the wasps came to He Hao's side and reminded: "You have given too much......"
"I know it." He Hao rarely replied to him.
"You're so rich......" Wasp thought, he didn't expect such a generous person to exist in the last days. Not only is he not angry when he is slaughtered, but he gives more back.
"Rich ......" He Hao heard someone say this for the first time, and he wondered when he began to see money itself less important - private wealth was no longer meaningless to He Hao, it was just a string of numbers without a head.
At the same time, he also understood the way of doing things: those who don't like it should stay away; Those who are not accustomed to seeing turn a blind eye; Those who can be used are controlled; Those who drag down will let themselves go, and if someone really hinders themselves, then they will meet each other - probably this is the wisdom of people who are not confused......
Just like the sentry commander just now, instead of killing dirty hands and causing trouble, it is better to throw some innocuous small money, let him put down his dignity and bow down.

The bone shield passed through several rows of barracks before arriving at the outer core of Base Hope. This neighborhood is lined with dilapidated buildings and neon lights, quite a night scene before the end of the world.
On both sides of the ruined block, where there is no end in sight, are bright solar-powered street lamps, which reflect men and women. They are either survivor drunks holding bottles; or a well-dressed warlord; or a woman with heavy makeup; Or a sloppy man frozen in the streets. The crowd ran rampant through the streets; Vertically, although chaotic, but lively.
There was an occasional gunshot in the distance, but it couldn't stop everyone's interest in the night.
There are not many modified vehicles on the street lanes, but there are no rules for driving, grabbing the road; Retrograde; Emergency stop.
The two survivors fought to the death at a street intersection until the man in white snatched the tattooed man's long knife and disemboweled it, leaving the crowd clapping and cheering......
The man in the police jacket carried the unconscious woman out of the hut, and while pushing and chasing the short man, he kept insulting, and then the short man drew a knife before forcing the other party away......
There are many luxury hotels in the neighborhood, but there are no welcoming ladies at the door, but all strong men with guns. They stared vigilantly at the diners who came and went, never taking their eyes off the household goods worn by the diners......
Xiaobei poked the iron window and said happily: "Hotel! Let's go eat something, I'm hungry. ā
He Hao nodded, rode the bone shield on the shoulder of the road, and then led the crowd to get out of the car. The moment his feet hit the ground, he attracted the attention of onlookers.
"Look at the Nani velvet coat, how glamorous." A woman tugged at the man next to her and whispered.
"Hmph...... It must be a dog officer of the military. The man looked at He Hao's back with disdain, and then raised his fist comfortably and said, "If there is a duel, I will definitely be able to put an iron fist into his head......"
He Hao and his group avoided the crowd of people who approached intentionally or unintentionally, and arrived at a fairly good restaurant on the block, Huaxia Restaurant.
There were 8 strong men guarding the door of the restaurant, and when they saw He Hao coming, they all tensed up, as if they were waiting for a battle.
Entering the interior of the restaurant, the lavishly decorated scene dazzles the wasps and bottle caps.
"Look at this table and chair, it's made of solid wood. How well preserved......" The bottle cap was carefully touched, and I liked it very much.
The wasp stared intently at the dishes on the table next to him, swallowing vigorously.
"Look at the eggs!" The drunken strong man at the adjacent table slapped the table suddenly, and the spinning chopsticks fell to the ground with oil splashes. Then the other party picked it up, staring at the wasp and scolding: "Virtue! ā
The wasp was so frightened that he shuddered, and quickly lowered his gaze and nodded to the other party again and again......
Xiaobei held chopsticks in her mouth, held the recipe, and flipped through it with her head shaking -
Drunken branch lily fried: 2 votes
Tempeh tarpon: 4 votes
Sweet and sour tenderloin: 4 votes
Horse bone marrow broth: 5 votes
Wine-stuffed wings: 8 votes
ā¦ā¦
The price is divided into three, six, nine and so on, the cheap ones are only a few catties of food stamps, and the expensive ones are dozens of catties of food stamps. Xiaobei ordered 10 dishes in one go, 3 meat, 3 vegetarian, 3 fresh, and 1 broth. The food stamps worth about 593 catties are so large that they are rare.
When Xiaobei put the 6 crystalline bricks on the table, it attracted the enthusiastic gaze of others. The vast majority of people are speculating about Xiaobei's identity: a warlord girl? Wealthy businessmen from other places? But looking at the unfamiliar face, it's probably the latter. And a small group of people think deeper and more evil......
What is the Hope Base? A land where dragons and snakes are mixed, there is no law, no order, only bloody knives!
"Sister...... Wasp glanced at the survivors around him who were staring at him, and whispered: "The puppet is not guilty, and there is a ...... in his arms."
"Do you want to eat?" Xiaobei didn't wait for the wasp to finish speaking, and she pushed back the last word, and she tapped the dish with the head of her chopsticks, jokingly. She was delighted by the hearty dishes that clearly swept away hunger.
"Eat! Eat! I eat! "The wasps and bottle caps devoured and feasted, and the appearance of the mouth was like gluttony. The "chirping" sound is a little disturbing......
Just when He Hao picked up the chopsticks, a figure appeared on the table. The man who came was not a strong man with a big waist or an ugly-looking thug, but a handsome young man.
The appearance of the young man made the mob who planned to secretly attack Xiaobei retreat......
