Chapter 005: Cleanliness is also an alternative
"Xiaoyou, thank you so much, I heard Xiaoyu say that you saved his life, my old life, you also saved it, I have a stupid mouth and don't know how to speak. However, if there is a chance in the future, I, Yao Songlin, will definitely repay your great kindness! ”
Yao Songlin was also emotional, dragging Xiaoyu who was born in the shelter, and being separated from his son and daughter-in-law, how difficult it was to go all the way. I thought I was going to die this time, but what would Xiaoyu do after I died......
Unexpectedly, it was a big surprise after waking up, Yao Songlin didn't believe in Buddha, but in the first moment after he woke up, what he wanted to do most was to pray and thank God for his protection.
However, it is not God's credit that he can be safe. Soon, he learned from his grandson that the great benefactor who saved him was the young man with a sincere smile on his face.
This made Yao Songlin a little at a loss, but his heart was still full of gratitude.
"Uncle Yao, you see that you are so polite, it is just within my ability, a trivial matter, don't worry. But..."Ding You said, scratching the back of his head, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu calls me brother, and you are Xiaoyu's grandfather, so do I have to too?" ”
According to this kind of seniority, Ding You and Chen Nuo really have to call Yao Songlin "grandpa", but after all, they are about 60 years old, and Ding You also feels embarrassed to call them grandfathers.
Chen Nuo, who was savoring the sweet white rice porridge on the side, also laughed when he heard Ding You's words.
Yao Songlin didn't know what Ding You meant by this, so he hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "Don't don't, don't call me old, I'm not old or eighty yet!" Take care of my foot injury, and I can still work! You and Xiaonuo should call me uncle, no problem, just call me by my name. ”
really called Yao Songlin's name, Ding You thought he couldn't do it, forget it, let's call it Uncle Yao, follow fate.
A breakfast was lively, if it weren't for the fact that there might be wandering zombies outside the street, Xiaoyu, the child, couldn't wait to sing a song happily.
Ding You calculated well this time, got up in the morning and took the white rice porridge that was still a little hot, and lit the fire and heated it again in the food processing area in the supermarket space. Even with soy milk fritters, I picked a little bit of everything.
In addition, 20 cans of 340g of canned pork and 20 cans of 220g of dace were also available. I took 30 packs of instant noodles in a 100g pack, and 30 soda crackers in a 120g pack.
For others, Ding You picked 20 pieces of vacuum-packed lotus paste egg yolk mooncakes in a single 80g package, and 30 chicken sausages in a 50g package. With the addition of white rice porridge and plastic bowls, as well as chopsticks, soy milk, fried dough sticks, bean paste and other things, the food alone carried out 25,220g this time, which is converted to 25.22 kg of food, which is enough to fit two large backpacks.
That's not all, Ding You also freed up a small round table weighing 5 kilograms, 4 plastic stools of 1 kilogram, and a pair of aluminum alloy height-adjustable armpit crutches with a total weight of 3 kilograms.
In this way, plus two 0.5-kilogram backpacks and two bottles of 5-liter mineral water tied with rope on Ding You's trouser belt, as well as two rolls of 120g rolling paper in his mouth, this trip alone consumed 48.5 energy points for Ding You, plus Ding You's own weight, that is a total of 120.5 points.
The energy on the supermarket bracelet is deducted from what was used up when I entered today and last night, and the points are already only 487.5, not that Ding You doesn't want to take more things out in one trip, but he hasn't found any tricks to pick up the goods for the time being, so he has to use this stupid method, holding it in both hands, clipping it under his armpit, and two more on his trouser belt.
Of course, this is also Ding You's limit at present, 48.5 points of energy, corresponding to 48.5 kilograms of things, more than 90 pounds, Ding You's small body that is not too much exercise can not bear the heavy burden.
But Rao is like this, taking out so many things at once, especially a lot of food, still makes Yao Songlin, Xiaoyu and Chen Nuo's eyes widen.
There are so many things, if you go to the survivor base to exchange, how many energy crystal cards will you have to exchange! On the other hand, how many energy crystal cards do you need to buy such a precious thing.
No, no!
These things can't be bought even with energy crystal cards!
Ding You's goal is clear, he wants to go to the survivor base 3 kilometers away: District 9. It's best to be able to find a crystal card that expands the energy of the supermarket bracelet, but it's really not good, so you have to exchange as much food as possible for some crystal cards.
In case the supermarket bracelet runs out of energy and can't come out in the future, at least you can leave some energy crystal cards for Chen Nuo and them to maintain the basic life in the last days.
You can save more than 70 points of energy, hide in the supermarket space, eat and wait until you die, and never come out again. But without their own help, Xiaoyu and they would be miserable.
Not wanting them to repeat their previous miserable lives, Ding You felt that even though the road ahead might be dangerous, he still had to go.
Originally, Yao Songlin and even Xiaoyu had to go with him, but Yao Songlin's foot injury had just improved, and it was very unsafe to travel long distances. Ding You and Chen Nuo thought twice and decided that they still wanted him and Xiaoyu to stay in the villa.
Chen Nuo will definitely protect Ding You with him, after all, Ding You is too tender for this last world.
Leaving a pistol for Yao Songlin, Chen Nuo checked the ultrasonic siren and found that the energy could still last for 3 days. Ding You left enough food for Xiaoyu and Lao Yao, and he and Chen Nuo carried a backpack on their backs, and in Xiaoyu's reluctant gaze, they drilled out of the hole in the wall.
It's safer to stay than to go out, at least they have been in this courtyard for several days, and they haven't encountered any danger.
Go back as early as you can!
Ding You followed behind Chen Nuo and followed closely.
The 3-kilometer road is not strictly speaking, but don't forget, it's the end of the world, and there are many dangers along the way. There is no guarantee that you will not encounter zombies or other mutated creatures on the way.
Chen Nuo, who had recovered his strength after a night's rest, shared most of the weight for Ding You. Ding You was a little embarrassed, he was a big man, and he actually gave a heavier bag to a girl to carry.
However, looking at Chen Nuo's vigorous pace, it seems that that weight is not a burden for her.
I don't know if the zombies in the daytime are really reluctant to come out for activities, or if the luck of the two is bursting. Anyway, until they reached the warning area of the ninth district, Ding You and Chen Nuo did not encounter any danger, although there were many ruins along the way, and the road was not easy to walk.
Looking at the imposing steel wall in front of him, as well as a few uniformly dressed sentinels at the gate of the city, Ding You had some concept of the apocalyptic world for the first time.
It turns out that the surviving humans lived within steel walls.
The Sentinels are not embarrassed by the "refugees" who plan to enter the walls, but every survivor who enters Sector 9 will need to have their BM bracelet checked and identified.
According to Chen Nuo, it is to prevent people with a bad record of committing serious crimes, such as robbery, innocent torture and killing of civilians, from infiltrating.
But even Ding You wore a dusty BM bracelet that he picked up from the villa and successfully passed the test. But you still have to pay 1g of virus nuclear energy per capitation.
There was a crystal nucleus crystal card exchange service point at the gate of the city, Chen Nuo handed over a gray cloth bag, and the salesman inside wore a pair of metal gloves and carefully took out a dark red irregular "glass block".
After putting in a machine, the salesman said to Chen Nuo: "The quality of the virus crystal nucleus is 85g, after deducting the service fee, the discount will be exchanged for 81 crystal coins, is it a deal?" ”
Chen Nuo nodded, and saw that the salesman inside lowered his head, took out a few metal pieces from a metal cabinet, and handed them out.
Chen Nuo took it directly with his hand, took out one of them and handed it back, and said, "Please exchange it for a crystal card with a face value of 5 and 5 crystal cards with a face value of 1." ”
Soon, this procedure was completed in the window, and Chen Nuo had a few more small metal cards in his hand, which were about the same size as the SD cards in Ding You's original world.
"What is this?" Ding You asked curiously on the side.
"This is the crystal card, which is a standard measurement specification crystal card that measures and weighs the virus crystal nuclei obtained by the survivors. The exterior is made of ultra-light alloy, and the inside is encapsulated with virus energy elements. There are 1, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 and 500 denominations, in short, the larger the denomination, the heavier the crystal card...... By the way, 1g of virus crystal nuclei corresponds to 1 point crystal card, and they can be marked with equal signs. ”
Listening to Chen Nuo's narration, Ding You thought about it for a while, and wondered: "Then why did the 85g virus core only exchange for 81 crystal cards, and still charge a service fee?" ”
Chen Nuo glanced at Ding You and replied with a wry smile: "The ninth block is quite kind, only 5% of the service fee is charged, and in some survivor bases, the exchange service fee has to be received 8% or 10%. ”
Ding You had a surprised expression on his face, and secretly thought that opening a survivor base was also a money-making business. You can charge a service fee if you exchange a crystal card, and you also need admission fee to enter.
If he finds that the energy in the crystal card can replenish his supermarket bracelet, Ding You also wants to open an exclusive survivor base by himself, at least in terms of food security, it is definitely much better than other survivor bases in this world.
After paying off the "ticket" to enter the ninth district, there are only 79 left of the 81 crystal cards. Passing through a security gate similar to the original World Airport and Railway Station, Ding You stepped on the ground in the Ninth District.
The rules of survival in District 9 are very simple, as long as you can survive in it, do not steal or rob, then 1 crystal card allows you to stay indefinitely.
But if you are in the "traitor department", then I'm sorry, you will be beaten and thrown out to feed the zombies, or you will be killed directly.
Fortunately, Ding You didn't have any intention of making trouble, and came to the ninth district just to verify whether the crystal card could be used for his bracelet. The other is to exchange the food in your backpack for more energy crystal cards.
But when I checked just now, although I didn't open the package for inspection, why did those sentries look at me with strange eyes one by one. Ding You was a little puzzled, so he asked Chen Nuo as he walked.
"Rest assured, the survivor base generally does not inspect the belongings of people entering the city, as long as the security gate does not detect excessive amounts of pollutants and zombie viruses. Those soldiers were staring at you just now because you were so clean! ”
After listening to Chen Nuo's words, Ding You was speechless for a long time, but he didn't expect that in the last days, he was cleaner, but he became different.
He looked down at himself, then at Chen Nuo, who was covered in gray, and at the outfits of the other human survivors. Ding You found that he was indeed quite alternative, clean and alternative.
