Chapter 15: Malice
Bi Yuwei picked up a steel coffin, and inside lay a living dead who may have been before the end of the world, and this news quickly spread among many scavengers. After all, the little girl was mute and couldn't defend herself, and someone did see Lin Chen lying in the escape pod, so almost everyone took this thing seriously.
It's just that this guy who is suspected of being a celestial man is very unlucky, and he directly fell into the spore mist. According to the common sense of scavengers, if you are exposed to the spore mist without any protection, you will definitely die.
But Bi Yuwei, the little girl, is more stubborn, obviously everyone says that it is a living dead, but the little girl wants to save it.
In a world that follows the crowd, if you are a maverick and always confront other people's opinions, then the people around you will definitely be repulsive.
Even if everyone is a waste picker and has no high status, human beings have this kind of inferiority. Even if they are all poor creatures, they still have to despise people who are worse and more stupid than themselves, and try to find some superiority in this way.
Obviously, the ugly duckling Bi Yuwei, who is not very gregarious and can't speak, is an alternative among the scavengers around, and now this alternative has picked up a living dead person to be a burden regardless of other people's opinions, so it's strange that others don't mock him!
Some of the tireless Bi Yuwei had to temporarily close the stairs leading to other buildings in her building.
This is the only transportation artery in the last days.
The purple mist is a toxic miasma secreted by the spore tree, which contains a large number of spore tree seeds.
Whether it is a human or other animal, as long as they are exposed to this environment, they will become cancerous because of spore toxin infection, and then a whimper.
So all the waste pickers put their homes on top of the building, and then each building communicates with each other through a long hanging staircase.
It can be said that the cantilevers between buildings are the only communication channels between people, and the closer to the periphery of the city, the fewer high-rise buildings, and the fewer these cantilever ladders will be.
Even if one of the elevators is interrupted, it will cause traffic to be interrupted in a certain area.
The Biyu Weide House happens to be on the outskirts of the West District, and it is one of the few high-rise buildings in this area. Now the communication between the two buildings has been cut off, and the traffic in the vicinity is immediately affected.
At this moment, those scavengers who wanted to go to other areas through the ladder of Bi Yuwei's house were immediately dumbfounded.
"Damn, this little girl is too ruthless, she removed the suspension ladder, and she can't get out herself!"
"yes, yes, I'll just say there's something wrong with this chick's head. If you pick up an iron coffin, you have to carry it to the roof. Didn't she know that every space on the roof was tight? ”
"That's right! That damn little girl, if it weren't for her dad leaving her some back-up, the buddies would have occupied her building a long time ago, although it is a remote place near the periphery of the West District, but it can also shelter from the wind and rain! It's like our brothers, tired and tired, all of them work for the lord. It's not easy to find a place to stay! ”
Seeing Bi Yuwei willfully cut off the hanging ladder, some of the scavengers who had been peeking on the roof of her house all scolded the street.
In the post-cataclysmic era, a purple mist covered the entire ground, and the roof of the building was the only place to stay.
So the survivors desperately want to occupy the tallest and best buildings as a base for survival. At the same time, every year, a group of unlucky people have to migrate to the roofs of higher buildings.
It's not because they're different, it's because these ghosts, known as spore trees, are getting bigger and bigger. Then the purple spore miasma would rise and flood some of the lower buildings.
By now, buildings below fifty meters were almost level with the fog. As soon as these spore trees erupted, the scavengers would have to abandon their existing homes and move to higher buildings, where there would inevitably be a battle for the top of the towers.
In the past, people were tired and tired for a house, but now in the last days, everyone is still for a set of open-air houses, and the dog's brains are about to come out.
It seems that no matter what era it is, the house is the most important thing!
And now, the residential building where Bi Yuwei lives is targeted by many waste pickers who are about to have no place to live.
This 100-meter-tall super high-rise residential building is enough to last for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that this building has been operated by Bi Yuwei's father for many years, and there are some countermeasures on it, it is estimated that someone would have occupied the dove's nest long ago.
But even so, it doesn't prevent these people from slandering Bi Yuwei and making trouble for her all the time.
Days were fleeting, and most of the scavengers had lost interest in the strange steel coffin.
And Bi Yuwei also reopened the suspension ladder between the buildings. After all, there is no ladder, and everyone has no way to trade materials, and although Bi Yuwei is alone and the whole family is not hungry, she still needs to exchange for clean water and food through trading.
However, there are some minor issues with today's trading.
When Bi Yuwei brought the electronic parts she had scavenged and was ready to trade, she found that the people who came to trade actually sat on the ground and raised the price. And this guy who looks very scathing and mean-looking deliberately sarcastically said to Bi Yuwei:
"Hehe, little girl, the price of water and food has increased today. A 300ml bottle of clean water requires ten electronic parts, and 500 grams of food requires twenty-five electronic parts! ”
Seeing that the second-tier dealer and scavenger in front of her actually raised the price of material exchange by two, Bi Yuwei suddenly frowned.
"Why? Not this price for a short time ago! Why are you raising prices! ”
Bi Yuwei couldn't speak, and could only show her protest through the whiteboard raised from time to time behind her.
She didn't understand at all in her little head, why did the price suddenly increase when it was only half of the price before a few days ago?
It's a pity that the second-tier dealer in front of him is obviously not a good bird.
In the face of Bi Yuwei's questioning, he didn't bother to pay attention to it at all, and directly squeezed Bi Yuwei away with his body and said: "If you can't afford it, get out of here, damn dumb, fool!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, this second-way dealer, nicknamed "Tong Suo is bullied", began to drive people away. Then entertain the other guests.
And the scavengers who were about to come over to trade around saw that Bi Yuwei was being bullied by this second-way dealer, not only did they not help, but they gloated.
"Haha, dumb! A few days ago, I turned off the hanging ladder, and our brothers can only pass through the ground these days, so you deserve to be unlucky! ”
"Yes! You little girl is simply a toast and doesn't eat and drink, obviously you can live a few people on the roof of your house, but you actually wasted precious space to place a steel coffin! It is said that there is a living dead lying inside! It's unlucky!"
"I heard that the living dead was an unlucky celestial who was fished out of the misty forest by this little girl, and he didn't wake up for so many days, and it is estimated that he has long been attacked by miasma and turned into a paralyzed vegetative person. This useless waste should be fed directly to the insects and beasts, so as not to waste valuable roof space! ”
Just when everyone was talking about it, Bi Yuwei looked around indifferently, and then directly handed over all the electronic components on her body to the second-tier dealer, exchanged for far less food and water than before, and then silently returned to her residence from the suspension ladder.
Seeing that the little girl didn't dare to resist, the second-tier dealer and the two scavengers next to her whispered. That's right, it's all deliberate! They just want to isolate this little girl, they just want to raise prices, and all this is for Bi Yuwei to put pressure on her to see how long she can last.
After all, doubling the price will inevitably cause Bi Yuwei to not have enough things to exchange for food and water, and in the long run, it will be enough to starve her to death!
When this little girl dies, they can rightfully occupy Bi Yuwei's home.
In addition, I heard that the steel coffin that the little girl picked up was not an ordinary item. Some people say that it was the coffin with functioning electronic components, which is a very precious item.
But Bi Yuwei protected this steel coffin very well, no one has seen the real thing at all, and all this is just speculation
And since the cataclysm, the Sea of Mist has had a tremendous corrosive effect on all electronic components. Unless this steel coffin has just fallen from the sky, once it stays in the Sea of Mists for a long time, it will be corroded by the miasma and gradually damaged.
But none of this has anything to do with Bi Yuwei. After exchanging some necessary supplies for survival, Bi Yuwei cut off the suspension ladder connection again. Avoid people outside peeping into the secrets of the steel coffin.
Although she is only alone, as long as she is in this doomsday fortress left behind by her father, Bi Yuwei is absolutely safe.
This residential building is not as simple as it seems. Although because of the effect of the Sea of Mist, all the electronic devices originally made by humans have been over, but this house has been completely transformed by Bi Yuwei's father after all. In addition to the lift seen earlier, there are a lot of hidden defenses. Even if the Biyuwei people are not there, once an uninvited guest visits, this doomsday fortress can carry out a certain amount of automatic defense!
It is because this building has a certain self-defense ability, otherwise it can defend her home by relying on Bi Yuwei alone.
You know, this is the end of the world, and there are outlaws with bad intentions everywhere.
If it weren't for the lack of deterrence, Bi Yuwei alone would not be enough for these ruthless people to stuff their teeth!
Of course, it is also important to note that Biyuwei has a peculiar talent, that is, she can repair most electronic parts.
No one knows how this little girl learned to repair these delicate devices. But relying on this ability, at least no one dares to snatch the little girl's residence openly. Otherwise, once the lord knows, he won't be able to eat and leave!
