Chapter 52: A Chance Encounter with the Dead
"Ran Tong, I met that little boy that day, didn't he say that the base can only grow sweet potatoes and cabbage, why are there fruits and other vegetables where I went just now, and there are so many kinds of food?" Tang Tang finally endured it and couldn't wait to ask.
Lin Rantong smiled: "I estimate that everyone knows that what the government can produce is actually the government's high output, like some that are not good to grow and have no production, it is estimated that they will be directly supplied to the privileged class, and ordinary people can't reach it at all, so they naturally think that there is no more." As for food, since this base may have been established before the end of the world, will the government not store it? "My heart is slightly cold, if the government has a large amount of food, but it creates the illusion of food shortage for ordinary people, is it just to force them to work hard to survive?
Tang Tang pouted: "It's all about the world, and they still talk about privileges, I don't believe that those people will be able to point fingers at the supernatural in the future!" ”
"Now there are about 20 million people in the east, according to the ratio of 1 in 1,000, there are about 20,000 people with abilities, and this pearl base, there are about 1,000 people with abilities, and I estimate that 5 or 600 of them are controlled by the government." Lin Rantong analyzed.
"These people are really!" Tang Tang shook his head.
Lin Rantong continued: "Tang Tang, don't forget, although there are few aliens, there are many mutants, and at this stage, the first-order aliens may not be able to beat the mutants." Moreover, the army of this base accounts for a lot of people, and many mutants and aliens are originally people in the army, so they naturally have to obey the government. So, Tang Tang," Lin Rantong said in a slight tone, with a solemn face, "We must improve our strength as soon as possible, at this stage, our personal ability may not be nothing, but I believe that in the future, it is possible to shock the Quartet and be unrestrained with our own strength." ”
Lin Rantong likes a free and stable life, but sometimes, it's not that you want to be stable, only if you have enough strength, you are qualified to choose the life you like.
Tang Tang's eyes were shining, and he nodded fiercely.
Lin Rantong and the two chatted and walked on the street, feeling very comfortable, I haven't experienced this feeling for a long time, it's like going shopping with a few girlfriends before the end of the world.
Suddenly, a voice came: "Huh? It's two girls, I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence! ”
Lin Rantong and the others paused, and looked in the direction where the voice came from in surprise. I saw a tall man standing upright looking at them and smiling.
Lin Rantong and Tang Tang glanced at each other, a look of doubt flashed on their faces at first, and then they remembered that it was one of the two men in military uniforms they met in Minghan City, and nodded slightly at the man and smiled: "It turned out to be you, fortunately, Wang Xing." ”
The smile on Wang Xing's face was even gentler: "The girl has a good memory, I'm ashamed to say it, the two girls were life-saving to us at that time, and I don't know what the two of them are called?" ”
"Oh, don't always take any life-saving grace to heart, my name is Tang Tang." Tang Tang happily stretched out his hand, in this last days, even if people who have a relationship with one side meet again, it feels very cordial.
Lin Rantong also stretched out his hand and shook it lightly: "Lin Rantong." ”
"When did the two girls come to the Pearl Base, if it weren't for today's coincidence, Captain Ding and I wouldn't know." Wang Xing asked.
Lin Rantong replied: "We have just arrived. ”
"And what are you?"
Tang Tang smiled: "Let's go shopping, we are about to go back, by the way, Wei Xiuning, who was with you at the beginning, is also with us!" ”
Lin Rantong was anxious, Wei Xiuning knew Wang Xing and Ding Yu earlier than them, so he naturally knew that they were in the Pearl Base, if he wanted to find them, he wouldn't have been silent, and now that Tang Tang said it, he didn't know if it would affect him.
Although Lin Rantong had turned so many thoughts in his heart, he remained silent on the surface, and listened to the conversation between the two with a faint expression.
Sure enough, I saw Wang Xing's eyes light up, and his tone was even more enthusiastic: "Yes, why did that kid come and don't know how to look for us, we can be regarded as brothers from birth to death, where is he, can you take me to meet him." ”
Lin Rantong didn't wait for Tang Tang to speak, and said first: "He went hunting today, and he hasn't gone back at this time, I think it's better for you to say a place, and we will get together tomorrow." ”
Wang Xing smiled when he heard this: "It's me who is abrupt, this is just right, I will also call Captain Ding, we will get together tomorrow, and the two girls will definitely come over at that time." Have you ever heard of a 'Fairy Forest Garden' in the base? Seeing that the two of them nodded, they continued, "Captain Ding and I will be waiting for you there at noon tomorrow, and you can just say my name when the time comes." ”
This "Xianlin Garden" is the only restaurant in the base, and after staying in the base for a while, everyone knows about some special places, as for what the food is, Lin Rantong and the others don't know if it's good or not.
Bidding farewell to Wang Xing, Lin Rantong and the others returned home, Wei Xiuning and the others really haven't come back yet, and there are only Liu Yu, Lin Dashan and Xiao Anran at home.
"Mom-" An Ran ran over and hugged Lin Rantong's thigh again, and then began to twist and twist and climb up after hugging it.
Lin Rantong lifted An Ran up and patted his buttocks: "Baby, you're heavy again, you're about to become a little fat man." ”
Although An Ran was small, he also knew that his mother was laughing at him, and he pouted his little face without saying a word, so that his face was a little sideways, and he looked even more chubby and wanted people to poke it.
Lin Rantong did the same, she stretched out her hand to poke An Ran's little dimple: "Baby son, mom will make you minced meat and egg stew to eat in a while." Seeing An Ran squinting his phoenix eyes with a smile and nodding loudly.
Liu Yu seemed to have adjusted his mood, and when he saw Lin Rantong and the others coming back, he said hello with a smile.
"Liu Yu, I bought you a good thing today, I'm jealous of it!" Tang Tang shouted.
Seeing Liu Yu looking at herself, Lin Rantong smiled and took out the special corpse stick and handed it to her.
Liu Yu looked at the palm-sized cylinder, looked left and right, and didn't see any connection between this thing and the corpse stick, this, what can this be used for, can it be used as a brick? It seems to be easy to slip with a hand in my hand.
Tang Tang came up and said proudly: "Look at it." As he spoke, he pressed a point on the top of the cylinder, and saw a long stick pop out of the brush, as thick as the mouth of a sea bowl, and only concave a little where it was connected to the first cylinder.
Liu Yu's face was shocked, and he turned his head to look at Lin Rantong.
Lin Rantong said with a smile: "Xiaoyu, this is the weapon I chose for you, you are now a power mutant, and it is suitable to use this kind of strong striking power." This one is also retractable, and it is also convenient for you to carry around, look at the recessed section, you can hold it there with both hands, I tried it, and it is quite easy. Starting tomorrow, you can go hunting with us. ”
Seeing that Liu Yu's eyes flashed, he barely suppressed the wetness in his eyes, nodded, and touched his weapon with love, excited and apprehensive in his heart.
At this time, Lin Dashan spoke: "Sister, why don't you have Dashan's share, Dashan also wants it." As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Lin Rantong, aggrieved like a little daughter-in-law.
Lin Rantong secretly said in his heart, he was really nervous in that black market, and he always wanted to leave as soon as he bought it, forgetting that Dashan was also a mutant, and he should pick a better weapon for him.
Seeing Dashan's pitiful appearance, Lin Rantong took his hand and said: "Dashan, it's my sister, I didn't bring enough crystal nuclei at that time, seeing that your sister Liu Yu didn't have weapons, thinking that Dashan still has a small slingshot, so I bought it for her, we have been hunting a lot these days, and if we have a crystal nucleus, we will buy it for Dashan, okay?" ”
Sister Dashan's aunt was too confusing, and in the end, regardless of men and women, the male was called brother, and the female was called sister, whenever Lin Rantong heard An Ran call Brother Dashan, he was a little speechless, what kind of generation is this.
Wei Xiuning and the others came back, and they knew that the harvest was good by looking at their faces.
Sure enough, Ma Xiaoyan shook her ponytail and stretched out two fingers and shook it: "Two yo, I beat two second-order mutant beasts for a long time." "The cooperation of several people is becoming more and more tacit, every time they hunt, they are never greedy, they are a few people who work together to clean up a second-order mutant beast first, and then go to find the next one after cleaning up.
"Wei Xiuning, we met Wang Xing today." Tang Tang said.
Wei Xiuning's face, which had not changed for thousands of years, finally had a little expression: "Really?" What did he say? It was not surprising that Wang Xing would say a lot to them.
The author has something to say: The third update, I miss the days of the 2K Party very much, you children's shoes look slowly, Liu Ye took his son for a walk.
