25. Chapter 25
"What's next? Where are we going? Driving the cash truck into Nanchuan, Ling Zhe asked.
Yi Chen had already sat back in the carriage, and he couldn't figure it out.
He had come to find his relatives, and the others had come to take refuge. Anyway, you have to have a place to stay in the evening.
"Keep up with the farmer's convoy." Yi Chen said.
"Okay." Ling Zhe stepped on the accelerator and pasted it.
The buildings and streets on the outskirts of Nanchuan seem to have been subjected to a terrorist attack, and they are full of desolation, which is not much better than the small city they came from.
There are very few places with electricity here, and a few lights can be seen sporadically, and in the distance, they can see a bright light, which is the inner city.
The inner city is separated from the outer city by a moat that existed in the city, and there are several layers of isolation measures leading to the inner city, not to mention zombies, even ordinary people have no chance to enter the inner city.
The convoy drove into a compound where there were far more heavily armed guards than at the entrance to Nanchuan, and they did not allow idlers and others to approach the place.
"It's to prevent people from coming in and stealing food." Ling Zhe and Zhu Youzheng poked their heads out of the window and saw a plaque at the entrance of the compound that read: Future Farmers' Food Transfer Station.
Those yellow vests got out of the car one after another, moved today's harvest one by one, and piled it up in the open space. When everything was done, they were examined empty-handed, each received a small bag of food, and walked out of the compound.
When they were done, Ling Zhe got out of the car to greet the guards and ask how he could get a job at the farmer's trading company, and he soon got the information and returned to the car.
"You are so bold that you dare to approach there, and you are not afraid that they will shoot you?" Cheng Xianglong couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it safer to ask those employees just now?" ”
"You know what. What if they see that we are new and have cars that come up to loot our supplies? Those with guns, believing that they have the upper hand, will not shoot at me, an unarmed man. The risk you are worried about is less than 10%. "Ling Zhe always has his own set of theories.
Yi Chen and the others have a certain understanding of Ling Zhe and know that he generally does not follow the usual path, Cheng Xianglong and Wang Lu are members who have just joined the team after all, and they don't know his way of thinking very well.
Seeing Cheng Xianglong's face red and white, Yi Chen changed the topic.
"I heard what you were talking about. They said that if we want to find a job, we have to go to the labor dispatch office for an interview first, right? It doesn't seem that you can arrange anything if you want to do something. ”
"Do we really all have to go to work?" Ling Lan asked. She had just arrived in Nanchuan, and her thinking had not yet changed.
"Sister, you don't know the situation yet, how can you get food if you don't work in Nanchuan? It's so simple. Ling Zhe spread his hands, "Yi Chen and Liang Bing can skip eating, they just need to find someone to suck blood and it's over, we are different." ”
"That'...... What can we do? Zhu Youzheng was uneasy.
He only has confidence in his cooking skills, but when the end of the world comes, where is there any food now, and the whole people are working with sweet potatoes and carrots, he has nothing to play at all.
Even if he could carve carrots into flowers, who would hire him for that?
"My sister must be a doctor, someone has taken the initiative to give contact information today, I guess it's no problem. I want to go to a farmer's trading company and see where I can get seeds for fruits and vegetables...... This thing is probably not so easy to get hold of, and the company must be firmly in control. ”
"Hehe, what about getting seeds? Do you have the time and energy to grow vegetables? Cheng Xianglong jumped out again.
"You're just short-sighted. Have you ever heard a saying? We live in this world, not to eat the world, but to transform the world, and this is what people are. There is this difference between humans and animals. Plan ahead now, and you won't suffer in the future. ”
"I don't know what to do." Liang Bing's voice is like a fine mosquito. Although she has predictable super abilities, once exposed, it will cause a lot of trouble.
"You and Sister Wang Lu don't have to work, I don't need human food anyway, when it's done, my share can be given to Sister Wang Lu." During the day, we find a place to tidy up and use as a place to live, and we can't stay in the car all the time. Yi Chen said.
Liang Bing is young and an infected person; Wang Lu has just joined the team, and she almost encountered an accident before, and her psychological trauma has not yet healed. They don't fit to be seen.
"You're going to work with ordinary people?" Ling Lan was a little worried that Yi Chen would reveal his identity.
"Well, I want to find my family as soon as possible. But now there is no means of communication, and you have to blend in with the crowd to gather the most information. Maybe they're working somewhere, too, and don't know if they don't look. ”
For Yi Chen's insistence, Ling Lan reluctantly agreed, and everyone no longer had any objections.
The next day, everyone took the car to find a fairly tidy community.
There were many survivors living here, and with the help of a few enthusiastic aunts, they quickly found a vacant two-bedroom apartment.
The owner of the house now knows where he is or whether he is alive or not. The contents of the room have been mostly ransacked, and there are still two beds and a large dining table and sofa that are difficult to carry. However, they have some supplies, and they are not a family with four walls.
The work of cleaning and decorating the room was handed over to Wang Lu and Liang Bing, and the others went to the labor dispatch office.
During the day, every side of the city of Nanchuan is more clearly revealed in front of their eyes. The city is also devoid of green, and the gray sky shrouds the gray streets and alleys, which makes people feel depressed.
Only then did Yi Chen notice that he hadn't seen the sun since the black rain fell from the sky. Maybe they just need a ray of sunshine to kill the damn virus.
Labor dispatch is located near the junction of the outer and inner districts. This time, they clearly saw the quarantine measures in the inner city.
A few boats were quietly moored in the moat, and that was the only way from the outskirts to the inner city. A group of guards walked around the opposite bank with guns, and now they were more like guarding against people than zombies.
After crossing the river, there is a circle of sandbags piled up to three meters high, followed by a layer of iron mesh similar to the entrance to Nanchuan City, and then a group of workers wearing "Future Urban Construction" sky-blue overalls are laying bricks and building a wall.
"It seems that they want to do their defense to the extreme, and Nanchuan is a place where humans in this area plan to survive and develop for a long time." Yi Chen thought.
People know that if they gather in a certain place, zombies should also know where to go to forage for food. The perimeter may be breached one day, but the inner city must be defended to the death.
This is what the Future Group intends to do......
