24. Chapter 24

The two large trucks blocking the road turned around and gave way to the aisle.

Yi Chen and Ling Zhe returned to the cash truck.

"How?" Ling Lan asked.

Yi Chen told everyone the information he had inquired about from two employees of the Future Agricultural Trade Company.

"No, could it be that the living can only eat sweet potatoes now?"

"In addition to sweet potatoes, there are also crops such as carrots and potatoes that have not been infected for the time being. It's just that digging a little less, and now the exposed land is no longer suitable for planting, maybe where the greenhouse and indoor can still be planted. Uninfected crops are worth as much as gold, and if we can get a packet of seeds from anywhere, we don't have to worry about the future. Ling Zhe said as he started the car.

"What happens if you eat infected food?" Zhu Youzheng asked cautiously.

"I've heard that it's okay to eat a little bit, but if you eat too much, it will mutate, just like being scratched and bitten by a zombie. Why don't you try it first? Ling Zheyi raised his eyebrows.

Zhu Youzheng's head shook like a rattle, and he would rather starve to death than become a zombie.

"What about the water source?" Ling Lan asked.

"The city has some water storage, but they don't know how long it will last. The current Nanchuan is different from what we imagined, divided into the outer city and the inner city, and most of the resources are in the inner city, where everything is readily available, and the power supply is not interrupted. Yi Chen said.

The others looked at each other.

Nanchuan originally had six districts, three counties and a county-level city, with a population of nearly 10 million, so why is it only divided into the outer and inner cities now?

The news of the past few days did not mention this information at all, and of course - in the last days, countless unimaginable things can happen every minute, and now that four days have passed, the information they have has long been outdated.

Nanchuan has taken in survivors from several nearby cities, and the food supply has far exceeded the load. In the future, because of the large amount of unsalable food that had been hoarded before, the future agricultural trading company has basically monopolized the food supply in the city, and has become a "savior" and controls the overall situation.

On the one hand, in order to increase the food supply, and on the other hand, in order to reduce the population in disguise and relieve the pressure, the future agricultural trading company recruited people to go out of the city to dig the fields and look for crops that had not yet been infected.

It's a dangerous job, but it's still a lot of people who sign up. Putting aside the reward of being able to share an extra portion of food than others, people who go out of the city have a better chance of filling their bellies directly. It's a good choice for those who are dragging their families around.

Of course, there are other organizations that avoid the future agricultural trading company and go out of the city to find land and dig fields on their own. When several parties meet, each with its own master, sometimes verbal and physical confrontations are inevitable. This is the question that those yellow vests in uniform were wary of when they first saw Yi Chen and Ling Zhe.

After listening to what Yi Chen said, everyone's thoughts were complicated. I originally thought that when I arrived in Nanchuan, I could say goodbye to this kind of worrying day for the time being, but it seems that everything is far from imagination. Where do they go from here?

Yi Chen spoke a lot, and leaned against the wall of the carriage a little tiredly. He worries about his parents and sister.

They should be somewhere in Nanchuan, but it is unknown whether they are doing well or not. There are so many people in Nanchuan, how can he find them?

……

Not far away, several large searchlights swept alternately in all directions, tearing through the thick night.

Ling Zhe pushed his glasses and noticed that the big sign on the side of the road was painted with the word "Nanchuan", and he lowered the speed of the car.

A silver-gray barbed wire fence blocked the entrance to Nanchuan, forming an isolation zone. Guards with guns walked around, wary of vehicles preparing to enter the city.

There is also a small convoy in front of them, which is being inspected.

There were more than two dozen people in the convoy, also employees of the future farmer's trading company in bright yellow vests, all of them tired.

They line up for routine checks.

Two medical staff wearing masks, holding small instruments, swept over their heads one by one.

"What are they doing? The instrument swept over and there was a dripping sound. Yi Chen asked.

"It's supposed to be taking a temperature." Ling Lan bit her lip a little nervously, "The temperature of zombies is different from normal people, it will be a little higher. They may use this method to see if there are any latent infected. ”

"What then?" Yi Chen knew that his body temperature was more than a little higher than that of ordinary people, and he seemed to be unable to fool him.

"You can't be examined." Ling Lan said categorically. Liang Bing's body temperature is lower than that of ordinary people, and it is easy to prevaricate when looking for a reason for being cold, but Yi Chen's encounter is just a catch.

"If you don't check them, they won't let them go, and if you break in, you will probably be shot to death." Ling Zhe looked at the heavily armed guards and said.

"Who said you were going to break in? Can't you think of something else? Ling Lan glared at her younger brother. However, Yi Chen is tall, and it seems a little difficult to find a place to hide it......

"I'm hiding under the car." Yi Chen thought for a while and said.

"Is that okay?"

"It's not a big problem."

A few minutes later, Ling Zhe drove slowly to the front of the quarantine area.

On the other side of the barbar, a guard shouted, "Show your passes!" ”

"We're survivors from somewhere else, and we don't have a pass yet." Ling Zhe replied with a smile.

"It's been days, and there are still survivors?" Several guards pointed their guns at each other and told everyone to get out of the car.

The medical staff walked over with infrared thermometers in their hands and swept them over one by one.

"Why is this female doll's body temperature lower than 35 degrees?" A medical staff swiped at Liang Bing suspiciously.

"I'm a doctor, she's frightened in the past few days, her blood vessels are constricting and dilating abnormally, her blood circulation function is declining, her body temperature regulation can't be carried out normally, and she suffers from body cold." Ling Lan explained.

"You're a doctor?" The medical staff looked at Ling Lan twice, then took out a handwritten business card from his pocket and handed it to her. "There is an urgent need for doctors in the city, you can join us.

"The future of medicine?" Ling Lan took it and looked at it, and asked with some surprise: "What is the ...... of this future medicine and future agricultural trade?" ”

"It also belongs to the Future Group. If you're interested, I can help you get in touch with an interview. ”

“…… Okay, I'll think about it first. Ling Lan hadn't figured out the situation yet, and she wasn't busy accepting or refusing. The business card has a contact person and a contact address, and if it is really necessary, she can find it herself.

"Why is the little girl's hair the color of this?" Another paramedic was still staring at Liang Bing.

"Hey, what's wrong with the hair colored? Master, I'm not dyed with yellow hair, what's in your way? Can you handle it? Cheng Xianglong said politely.

"This color is very abnormal." The paramedic didn't flinch, and his tone was firm.

"I cosplay." Liang Bing spoke slowly.

The two medical staff were stunned for two seconds, because some students were keen to imitate and dress up the characters in the virtual world...... Those hair colors and clothing bells and whistles, everything.

They finally nodded and said it was all right.

At this time, the guards carefully shone the inside of the cash transport vehicle with a flashlight, and found nothing unusual.
