Chapter XIV Tucker Base 14

Half a month is a fleeting time.

Especially after the apocalyptic catastrophe.

Compared to the end of the world, the order of Tucker City makes all the survivors who come here feel as if they have returned to the past.

This illusion is called comfort. It's called order. It's called stability.

Almost everyone subconsciously does their best to maintain everything here, however, there are always exceptions.

April 1st, the traditional April Fool's Day.

Li Jie is resting today. He still implements the habit of resting four days a week, and the so-called position of academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, or the rank of major general, is almost all decoration for him.

He had neither attended a military school, nor had any military skills, nor did he have the slightest scientific ability, but he was a Buddha who was offered together with his "miracles".

His real job is just to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences three days a week to resurrect or treat a few people, for other scientific researchers to analyze, and appropriately cooperate to extract some materials, that's all.

At the same time, only four days of work can bring him 10,000 food stamps.

Among them, the researcher's salary and the allowance for the rank of major general are each half, and this 10,000 food stamps make Li Jie's life in Tucker City very comfortable. So pleasant that if it weren't for the dry air and the increasingly hot temperatures, he would have almost forgotten that he was in the depths of the desert and that it was still a post-apocalyptic scene outside.

Like him, there are many others......

Li Shijian, who used to be an entertainment star who relied on talent shows to become popular, was good at reversing strings, and was born a sissy, which became his ability to become famous. After becoming famous, under the operation of the brokerage company, he quickly became popular in China, participated in various programs to accumulate popularity, released singles, records, acted in movies, and even directed and acted by himself...... After a series of unimaginable operations, he finally became a household name in China from an ordinary rural boy!

However, all the good things came to an end after the end came.

The 3 so-called ace bodyguards who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to sign a contract with a security company and hired infected one on the first day of the apocalyptic outbreak and escaped two!

Li Shijian, who collapsed, was not infected, but he became the bodyguard of the infected and blocked in the bedroom on the third floor!

The mobile phone is in the assistant's place, and the villa is in the high-end community that is difficult for ordinary people to enter, and unfortunately, although several villas in the vicinity have owners, they have never moved in......

In order to maintain his thin body shape and simulate the posture habits of women for a long time, Li Shijian's physical strength has been greatly reduced, and he has long lost the courage of a peasant boy to break into the rivers and lakes, so he can only huddle in the house and wait for rescue! In the end, I was forced to live in the bedroom, relying on a glass of water, half a bottle of wine, and half a bag of whole wheat bread for 5 days......

When he was almost dying, Lady Luck struck.

More than a dozen survivors entered the high-end residential area that had long been left unattended and maintained, pried open the doors of the villas in the park, and searched for all the supplies, food, drinking water, luxury goods, and precious jewelry they needed......

"Bang, bang, bang!" There was a muffled sound, the infected bodyguard was smashed off his head and fell to the ground, more than a dozen people began to search for their loot, in the house, Li Shijian, who heard the movement, seemed to grasp the last straw, and shouted for help with all his strength: "Help...... Help me...... Help ......"

"Hey, wait!" A middle-aged man with a shaved head stopped his companion from rummaging through something and listened: "Someone in there is shouting for help!" ”

"Inside, open the door!"

"Help......

"Open the door! If you don't open it, how can we save it! ”

"Save ......"

"M's, get out of the way, look at me!"

"Hahaha, six monkeys, I have to come, boss, I made you right last time, this time I will bet for 30 seconds!"

"Hmph, don't give up? Then I say 10 seconds. ”

"How is that possible! Six Monkeys ......"

"Smack~" Just when the thin man was not convinced and was about to refute, the door lock opened with a "pop".

"I~! Six monkeys, you have a lot of skills! Why haven't I seen you so neat before......" In the midst of scolding, several people entered the door and saw Li Shijian, who had already described the dry examination, with chapped lips and a sallow face, lying on his side on the ground.

"Hey, there's really someone, let that thing outside be blocked at home!" A woman's voice rang out.

"A big man, what a coward!"

"Ah, big brother, this person is familiar!"

"Familiar fart! Skinny like a hemp pole, TM has already lost his shape, are you his mother or his father? Can you recognize this? ”

"Hey, that's familiar!" Another suddenly shouted.

"yes, I'm sure I've seen ...... somewhere," someone chimed in.

"Oops!! Isn't that who!? ”

"Smack~"

"Why are you hitting me!!"

"Who is it? Who's who! ”

"That's called... Uh, what's it called......"

"Li Shijian! This is Li Shijian! ”

……

Li Shijian's last consciousness stayed here, and at the moment when he was about to pass out, he was relieved to think that he recognized me, and now he was saved......

When he regained consciousness, someone was feeding him water, and he struggled to open his eyes, and a woman in her 30s, whose makeup had long since been spent, was squatting in front of him, and a bottle of mineral water was pouring into his mouth.

"Awake? Just wake up! Are you Li Shijian? Seeing that he was awake, the woman's eyes lit up and she hurriedly asked.

"I, I'm ......" After saying this, Li Shijian felt that his throat was itchy and dry.

"Hey! Haha, that's true! Let me tell you, our brothers have saved your life, how are you going to repay them! A sturdy man with long hair and pigtails had bright eyes, rushed to Li Shijian, and asked him greedily.

……

These dozen or so people are a group of pickpockets in the capital area, and occasionally work part-time as a thief. After getting benefits, a group of people eat, drink and enjoy, and when they have no money, they go out of the mountain again.

found Li Shijian, they decided to save this big star, let this big star wake up, give them a lot of money, let them be at ease from now on! By the way, I wash my hands in a golden basin, too!

However, something unexpected happened to everyone.

The epidemic was not brought under control with the intervention of the army, and the big city with tens of millions of people, the capital, soon went out of control!

The originally limited number of supermarkets where you can shop have gradually closed, and the money has finally not been spent, and even if the mineral water is 10,000 yuan a bottle in their community, it has finally become priceless.

……

"You say you're a kid, huh? With such a big corner, no one came to save you? Yes? The thin man was teasing Li Shijian, and was about to say something, when the "boss" outside shouted to him: "Xiaofei, come here!" ”

"Here we go!" Xiao Fei was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly walked to the door.

“.…..”

Li Shijian didn't know what they said, but he clearly saw the inexplicable eyes of the so-called boss and Xiao Fei's somewhat strange expression.

Li Shijian promised them that as long as he was saved, he would give them a thank you fee of 1 million yuan per person after the epidemic passed.

However, from this day on, no one asked Li Shijian any more questions about the thank you fee. Until the third day after this inexplicable conversation......

"Big star, your one is one million, our brothers can't wait, we don't have a short of you to eat, we don't have a short of you to drink, but you have to understand, now it's different from before, 10,000 yuan, TM can't even buy a bottle of water! Now that there is nothing to eat or drink, if we continue like this, we will all starve to death, so now there is a way to live, I don't know if you are willing to go? ”

Looking at the so-called boss and listening to his strange words, Li Shijian only felt a chill that made him creepy......

Next, these people sent Li Shijian to a room in the next community, and took 10 bread and 10 bottles of water from the house, and Li Shijian was left there, and the same thing left there was a 40-year-old man who had not taken a bath for a long time, was covered in sweat, and weighed more than 200 pounds......

Day 2......

Day 3......

……

Finally, it only took a week for Li Shijian to go from being forced to taking the initiative to compromise for the sake of food.

This kind of nightmarish day, Li Shijian can be regarded as seeing through it.

It's just that in the past, what I got in exchange was fame, coffee position, and money! And now in exchange for food, it is hard to find......

However, the small team of a dozen people soon fell apart, some were infected, some died outside, and the rest, facing increasingly difficult business, quarreled and beat each other......

In the end, it was the boss and Li Shijian who survived.

Li Shijian exchanged his body for food and drinking water for the boss and himself to survive, not because he was willing to support the boss, but because someone had to provide him with powerless protection......

A month has passed, two months have passed......

They fled from the capital on the second floor, and while fleeing, they did "business", and they survived after all!

Fleeing to a prefecture-level city in HN, when Li Shijian's business was no longer sustainable and no one was willing to pay for food and drink to find him, the army in charge of searching for survivors found the team to which the two belonged at that time and rescued everyone!

These survivors, under the guidance of the soldiers, got on the train, and more than 20 carriages were densely packed with survivors, and lasted 2 days, and came to the "Tucker City" in the mouth of the soldiers......

As the train slowly stopped, Li Shijian and the boss got off the train with the flow of people, watching the uniformed police and soldiers maintaining order, watching someone register them and tell them that they could live here in peace, the two of them cried loudly, and in fact, almost everyone was like this!

The familiar atmosphere, the familiar order, and the familiar taste of the city all made Li Shijian almost think that he had returned to the past, back to his own time!

However, this is not what it used to be.

When you come to this Tucker City, everyone has to carry a temperature sensor, everyone is given a mobile phone, and everyone's information is recorded!

Next, each person registers their previous major, their job, and the job they wish to do, which according to the staff, is to give them a job.

The boss is good at nothing, and Li Shijian filled in the professions of "singing, actor", etc., in the staff's sudden realization and slightly excited attitude, a long-lost sense of superiority surfaced in Li Shijian's heart......

It's a pity that Li Shijian's special treatment did not come.

Because he had no family, he was assigned to an apartment of only a dozen square meters, although it was barely clean and hygienic, but there was not even a separate bathroom, which made Li Shijian, who was full of expectations, disappointed.

What disappointed him even more was that the next day, the job he was assigned turned out to be a "cleaner"!

Janitor!

Every day from 5 a.m. to 3 p.m., the cleaners in Tucker City are in charge!

You must know that Tucker City is in the desert after all, although there are windbreaks and windbreaks, but nature still blows countless sand and gravel to all corners of the city every day, which requires countless people to clean up, otherwise this place will eventually be swallowed by the desert!

However, how can you be a humble cleaner if you are a big star!?

This is civilized society! How can I become a cleaner!?

Under the influence of the armed patrolling army and the police, Li Shijian endured the unwillingness in his heart, and early the next morning, he came to the gathering place and started the first day's work......

In just one day, Li Shijian, who was thin and weak, was overwhelmed by the heavy work, returned to the hut, and looked at his feet full of blood blisters and sand all over his body, he cried loudly, and at the same time, at night, he was pressed under the boss again, and finally collapsed.

The next day, Li Shijian did not go to work, but silently prepared alone, and at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, he came to the place with the largest flow of people in Tucker City - Tucker City People's Square.

Here, it is a place for Tucker citizens to walk after work, playing chess, singing, walking birds, setting up stalls, selling wild vegetables, selling rice, and so on!

The Tucker Municipal Axe did not ban it, but kept it and strengthened the guards, which was a tacit acquiescence to give Tucker City a place for people to relax and have fun.

At 6 o'clock, when there were the most people, Li Shijian put on his most neat clothes, took his bed sheet, wrote the big words "Li Shijian Concert" on the bed sheet, hung it on a tree in the People's Square, and then sang his famous song loudly!

With his special singing voice and familiar voice melody, the people around him subconsciously looked over!

Soon, someone recognized him!

"Hey! It's Li Shijian! ”

"Yes! He's alive! Ah, big stars singing! ”

“.…..”

Finally, the popularity he had accumulated in the past attracted more and more people to listen to him sing, and at the same time, more and more policemen and soldiers began to gather here, constantly using walkie-talkies to ask the leaders to see if they needed to disperse the gathered crowd......

Just when they hadn't received a reply, Li Shijian stopped singing, the expression on his face became serious, and he took the simple amplification barrel rolled up with cardboard in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Hello everyone! I'm Li Shijian! ”

"On behalf of all of you, I am here to ask for a political axe, to exchange the previous currency! Our money can't be wasted!! Our money has to be exchanged for food stamps!! ”

Below, countless ordinary people waiting for him to sing, as well as real-name military police, were all shocked on the spot!
