The next morning, everyone sat around the table and began to eat breakfast. It was the first day that everyone had a permanent residence, so today's breakfast was extraordinarily generous. There are steaming soy milk, boxed milk, cold cucumbers, wild boar meat in sauce, cold fungus, and fragrant millet porridge and steamed buns.

"Shall you go out today?" Tang Tang took a bite of the bun and said with shiny eyes.

Xia Yongjia took a sip of soy milk slowly, nodded and said, "I definitely have to go out, but there are so many of us, we don't have to go out, I'm just going to inquire about the situation today." ”

Hearing Xia Yongjia say this, several people were nervous for a while, for fear that it was themselves who would be left at home, only Liu Yu looked flat and drank milk in small sips.

Lin Rantong looked at everyone's appearance and couldn't help smiling: "Yongjia, we just came to the base, we have to understand the situation more and be more familiar with this place, I think let's go out and have a look together." ”

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After breakfast, the group set off in a majestic manner.

The place where they live is a small house with such an independent courtyard, and beyond that is the kind of high-rise building, it is estimated that many people can live in one building.

There are a lot of people on the street, although there are nine people in Lin Rantong's party, but they are not conspicuous because of the large number of people, there are many people on the street who look like a team walking together, but probably because most of them are women, and there are two children, so they still attract a lot of people's attention.

"Dye Tong, why do they look at us so strangely?" Tang Tang pulled the corner of Lin Rantong's clothes and whispered.

Lin Rantong has noticed this problem since yesterday, and after thinking for a while, she replied in a low voice: "I think it's because we have more women and children." ”

"Huh? So why do they seem afraid of us? Tang Tang was even more puzzled, and Ma Xiaoyan also listened with big eyes.

"Tang Tang, you look down at the clothes we are wearing." Lin Rantong said.

Tang Tang and Ma Xiaoyan both looked down, and several girls were wearing black sportswear, clean and fitted, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's not dirty and it's not broken-" Saying this, Tang Tang reacted suddenly, "I understand, it's because we are all girls and our clothes are too clean and tidy, so in the eyes of others, it's either because we have a strong backer, or because we're very capable." ”

Lin Rantong nodded, that's exactly the case, it seems that those martial arts novels say that women and children who are single and rushing are the most unprovoked.

Lin Rantong guessed well, after the end of the world, there are very few women and children who survive, but if they seem to be slightly energetic, nine times out of ten they are aliens or mutants, or their relatives and friends are very capable, no matter what it is, it is what these people who aim to fill their stomachs are unwilling to provoke, otherwise, with the appearance of Lin Rantong and the women, even before the end of the world, there are countless boys who have accosted them, not to mention that now when the law and morality gradually lose their binding force.

"Excuse me, do you need a map?" A boy who didn't look very old asked timidly.

Seeing that everyone stopped to look at him, the boy couldn't help but shrink his shoulders and look even thinner.

Lin Rantong smiled and said softly, "What kind of map is it?" He beckoned to the boy and motioned for him to come forward.

The boy hesitated for a moment, secretly glanced at everyone, and saw that a few people did not look displeased, so he walked lightly to Lin Rantong and handed the map to Lin Rantong to see.

This is a rough printed map, and the part shown to Lin Rantong depicts the general distribution of the base.

Seeing that Lin Rantong was very interested, the boy mustered up the courage to speak: "This map depicts the general distribution of the Pearl Base, where are the shops, where are the trading markets, where are the governments, where are the residences, and what mutated animals are probably distributed outside the base. ”

"Little guy, we can figure out these things in two days by ourselves, why buy yours?" Xia Yongjia said with a smile, obviously playing with the little boy in a boring way.

The boy's face turned pale, and seeing that Xia Yongjia was not angry, he said: "There are many people like you who have come from outside these days, and they are all anxious to understand these situations, I think you should also need it." ”

Very smart boy, Lin Rantong nodded appreciatively. Because it was mentioned on the radio that the use of crystal nuclei can only be learned by coming to the base, then there must be a large number of supernatural people pouring into various official bases these days, and after the exploitation at the city gate, they must be in urgent need of earning crystal nuclei, so the sooner you understand the situation here, the better, and the boy is aiming at this business opportunity.

"Little one, how do you know we're new?" Tang Tang asked with a bright smile.

The boy relaxed slightly, and the smug sly in his eyes flashed: "Because those who have lived here for a long time are in a very purposeful hurry in the morning, unlike you-" Before the words were finished, everyone had already understood what the boy meant, and the appearance of a few headless flies daring to love was despised by others.

"How do you sell this map?" Lin Rantong asked.

"Sister, it's cheap, a crystal nucleus." The boy stared at Lin Rantong with bright eyes.

Lin Rantong controlled his urge to roll his eyes, and finally, the last crystal nucleus in his hand couldn't be saved, but this map was very practical for a few people at present, and he gritted his teeth and handed the crystal nucleus to the boy and took the map.

Seeing that the boy was still standing in place and did not move, Lin Rantong looked at the boy calmly and waited for the following.

"Sister, do you need a guide, or do you want to know the basic information here, I can do it, I don't need a crystal nucleus, as long as you give me anything." The boy saw that several people were kind, and said boldly.

Lin Rantong had a good impression of this clever boy, nodded and said, "Okay, let's hire you as a guide today." ”

The boy perked up and asked dutifully, "I don't know how many brothers and sisters, uh, and younger brothers, want to know about the situation?" ”

Xia Yongjia smiled: "Little guy, tell us about the prices here, you know what the prices are, right?" ”

The boy couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly, please, he was also a teenager, and it wasn't like he hadn't been to school before.

"All the expenses in the base are used crystal nuclei or barter, a first-order crystal nucleus can be exchanged for a pound of potatoes, a pound of sweet potatoes, a cabbage, because the government can grow these three, I heard that although the yield is not high, but it is still relatively cheap. As for the rice and wheat, they were all collected by the people from the base in the granary in the city, so they were very expensive, and a crystal nucleus could not even be exchanged for a steamed bun. The boy said.

"What about the fruit?" Tang Tang thought of Lin Rantong's delicious fruits and couldn't help asking.

The boy couldn't help but be stunned, licked his saliva and said: "The fruit in the past has long been rotten, and now I haven't heard that anyone can grow it, it seems that a few days ago, there was an anomaly who sold an apple and sold 100 crystal nuclei!" I've forgotten what apples taste like. The boy licked his lips as he spoke, the corners of his eyes slightly wet.

"Do you know anything about the Anomalous?" Ma Zhi asked as he stared at the boy.

The boy saw that it was a brother-in-the-door man and asked him, and said very obediently, "I know that this base welcomes water and wood abilities the most." ”

Well? This aroused the curiosity of several people, and they all waited intently for the boy's explanation.

"I heard that wood-based supernatural people can promote the growth of crops and increase the yield of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and the government will pay a high price to hire them, and they can also treat injuries. As for the water system, it is natural to provide drinking water, and in such a large base as ours, only one river is drinkable, which is controlled by the government, and each person can receive the most basic amount of drinking water a day, so many people buy water from the water system to drink or bathe or something. ”

Ma Xiaoyan's apple-like face lit up when she heard it, and even the little freckles on her face were much more vivid. Xia Yongjia was silent on the surface, smiling, and the little tail that didn't exist behind him shook proudly.

"By the way, suicide is absolutely not allowed in this city, there is a special law enforcement team, but if you go out of the city gate, no one will care." The boy added.

The boy said some common sense again, and seeing that the boy had almost said what he knew, Lin Rantong bent down slightly, put something wrapped in a small black plastic bag into the boy's hand, and whispered in his ear: "Sister knows that you are a smart boy, this is your reward, just for you, understand?" ”

After speaking, he straightened up and heard Tang Tang shouting: "Dye Tong, let's quickly find a way to earn crystal nuclei." He waved at the boy and slowly disappeared into the crowd.

The boy walked to a remote corner, took advantage of the map in his hand to steal a look at the contents of the plastic bag, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, it turned out to be a fresh and full apple, red, and he couldn't help but take a bite when he looked at it. The boy quickly stuffed the apples with the plastic bag into his arms, looked at the direction where Lin Rantong and the others disappeared, and for a long time, muttered: "Sister, is your name Rantong?" Good bye. ”

The author has something to say: Today's addition, hehe, we can't eat the nine thousand urges, and the three thousand ones are not ready to be caught! The confident codeword went.
