Chapter 253: The Value of Cigarettes

By this time, the thugs who rushed over were already less than a hundred meters away from the convoy. Lin Ce rushed over and helped Lao Xu, whose face was covered with blood, to the car, and the rest of the people also saw the large group of people rushing over with weapons. Say no more at the moment. One by one, they helped each other to get into the car, and then several drivers stepped on the accelerator fiercely, and several large cars, taking advantage of the opportunity of the thugs behind being blocked by the hungry people who grabbed food, left here.

The inner and outer zones are very different! If the outer district is a chaotic refugee camp, then the inner district is a well-ordered town.

Entered the inner area. The convoy stopped on the side of the road, Lin Ce looked at the scarred team members in the car, turned his head and asked, "Shao Gu!" What's going on!! ”

"In fact, the inner zone is the real survivor base, and those who are penniless and helpless are exiled to the outer zone. Except for the able-bodied ones who were hired to work outside, the rest of the people only had ten pounds of potatoes per month, and this was not guaranteed on time. Hundreds of people starve to death every day, and looting is a common occurrence everywhere. The team that first entered the base would be robbed halfway by the mob if it was larger, but if it was smaller. We wouldn't have done this, but this little girl's heart relented for a while", Shao Gu stopped here and looked at Xiaoying.

"But the little girl was really pitiful. I just gave her some food. ”

Xiaoying said stubbornly.

"However, you have forgotten that this is the end of the world, and this is still the case when the world has not become like this, let alone the end of this world where there is a severe lack of food! How much food can you give to them. What about uneven distribution? There will be something hateful about the wretched! ”

Remembering the scene just now, Xiaoying couldn't speak anymore, and her eyes were full of confusion.

For a while, the carriage fell into a dull state, and after all this, everyone once again had an understanding of this era. Especially this cannibalistic last days, once again I learned how cruel the last days are!!

After a few minutes of dullness. Lin Ce stood up and said, "Okay, we're safe, Doctor Hu, you take care of everyone's wounds, Shao Gu, you go to the front and take everyone to find position No. 58, it's getting dark." Hurry up, everyone. ”

"Okay," Shao Gu also felt that the atmosphere in the carriage was very stuffy, so he stood up, opened the door and walked down. After more than ten seconds, the convoy continued to move. After seven turns and eight turns. Under the guidance of Shao Gu, he finally rushed to the No. 58 position in the inner area before the last ray of sunlight dissipated.

These days can be described as twists and turns, Lin Ce and his team are always fighting against death, everything makes Lin Ce haggard, but seeing the No. 58 position surrounded by white and gray lines, Lin Ce feels that everything before has not been in vain.

After wandering for more than half a month, I finally have another place to live.

Area 58 is an abandoned open-pit quarry, about 4 square kilometers by visual inspection, but only seven or eight hectares can be used as a camp, and the rest is craggy stones. Even these few hectares are interspersed with dozens of boulders more than one person tall and hundreds of large and small stones. In this place, there are no lights, no water, no walls, and not even a single figure around. Lin Ce looked at the empty quarry, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, he only wanted to find a quiet place at first, but he didn't expect it to be so quiet now.

In any case, the place has been decided, and it is impossible to change it again, Lin Ce raised his spirits and said to the surrounding team members: "Now we will be camped in the wild, Huzi, you lead people to set up tents, hurry up and prepare dinner, and the seventeen brothers will take your people to the vicinity to be on guard." The rest of us quickly cleared the surrounding stones, and from now on this is our home, and from tomorrow we will work hard to build our home. ”

The team members began to get busy under the command of the big horse monkey and others, and Lin Ce took Ding Junhu and Shao Gu to patrol the quarry with flashlights.

"Bang!!" The delicate lighter lit a jumping flame, then Lin Ce took a deep breath, and a superb Chinese flame ignited, and then exhaled deeply, and a cloud of white smoke dispersed.

Lin Ce didn't smoke originally, but now he finally didn't have to think about safety all the time like he did before, so he relaxed a little.

"Captain, you still have a cigarette, get me one too, I haven't smoked this thing in months!!

Shao Gu on the side saw that Lin Ce was actually smoking, and his eyes couldn't help but stare for a moment.

"Here", Lin Ce threw the unfinished half pack of cigarettes with the lighter to Shao Gu, who hurriedly took it, and then shivered and took a deep breath.

"We're not short of cigarettes, let's smoke, there's a lot more."

"What! And many more!! Captain, how many cigarettes do we have? Shao Gu was still reminiscing about the smell of cigarettes that he hadn't seen for a long time, and he almost choked when he heard Lin Ce's words, and asked excitedly.

"I don't count, there are always a dozen boxes."

"Ten boxes!!" Shao Gu's hand holding the cigarette trembled, and then his eyes looked at Lin Ce fiercely like a demon who had seen bread.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ce couldn't stand Shao Gu's eyes a little.

"What's wrong!! Captain, do you know what is the most valuable thing in the base right now! Food! Cigarette! Wine! And the arms!! ”

"I said that as soon as I took out my cigarettes today, the attitude of those officers changed all of a sudden. So that's the case, Shao Gu, what is the price of cigarettes now? Lin Ce combined with the previous scene and suddenly realized. Immediately another question came to mind: "What is the current unit of currency in the base?" Gold? ”

"Yes, but that's the official standard currency, and it's this little gold coin!" Shao Gu said as he took out a yellow thing from his body. Lin Ce took it, and saw from the light of the flashlight that this so-called gold coin was actually very exquisite, with the words "Donghai City Base" on the back and a lifelike sword on the front.

"Actually, it's not real gold, it's just officially made gold metal, and there are brass or something."

According to the official price, one gold coin can buy a thick noodle steamed bun. Although the price of food fluctuates slightly, the official price is still more appropriate. The current price of a cigarette is at least a hundred gold coins, this is still the original cigarette, and this high-end cigarette like the captain in his hand will only be high, not low! ”

"Cigarettes are so valuable. And what is the price of the munitions? Lin Ce listened to Shao Gu's words, and then looked at the half-lit cigarette in his hand, and couldn't help but feel a little painful.
