Chapter 249: High Speed
Next, Luo Yuan searched the door on the second floor, no (no other gains.)
At this time, Luo Yuan heard a movement, it seemed that something was happening outside, his face changed slightly, he lifted the horse chopping knife, jumped down the floor in a few steps, and then instantly drilled out of the low hole.
When he stepped outside, he breathed a sigh of relief.
There are six mutant insects lying on the ground, these meters are long, and they look extremely hideous and terrifying, and the mutant insects have been divided, and the ground is full of colorful liquid, looking at the scars of the corpses, except for the two that were killed by Wang Shishi, the other four were solved with knives.
The strength of everyone is no longer what it used to be, and such a low-level mutant creature obviously no longer poses any threat.
"Did you find the map?" Seeing Luo Yuan coming, Huang Jiahui asked out loud.
"No, it's too corroded here, and I don't think there will be anywhere else, unless someone keeps it on purpose." Luo Yuan said helplessly.
But this hope is not very high, before the end of the world, maps are not particularly important, and, with the popularity of smartphones, ordinary people have rarely used maps.
"But I figured out where this is, and any of you have heard of Jiuchuan City?" Luo Yuan asked.
Everyone looks at each other, almost all of them are southerners, and they don't know much about the cities in the west, except for some particularly famous tourist cities or provincial capitals, and Jiuchuan is obviously in this list, and many people have never heard of it.
"I think I've heard it somewhere!" At this time, Huo Dong said suddenly, but he looked a little hesitant and didn't seem to be sure.
"Don't rush yet, think about it?" Luo Yuan hurriedly said.
Huo Dong walked around in place, frowning: "I kind of remembered!" I used to have a client who seemed to be here. ”
"Anything else?" Luo Yuan asked, his face was a little disappointed, this kind of information couldn't be analyzed at all.
"It's been too long, and it's a small customer with little money, and I usually pay little attention to it, by the way, there seems to be a highway near here, and I remember checking it at the time." Huo Dong scratched his head, and his brain hurt when he thought about it.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"If you are sure that there are expressways, it will be simple, there are very few expressways in the west, and there are only a few in total, judging from the geographical location here, if you guess correctly, it should be the Gongyu Expressway." Lian Commander Xia said: "And the Gongyu Expressway and Taklamakan are not far away, and there is a national highway line in it, where it leads." If we are fast enough and have a good way to go, we can get to the redevelopment area in a day or two. ”
…………
At this time, it was close to nine o'clock in the evening, and the group found a relatively solid basement to prepare for the night.
The ground was covered with slippery and greasy moss, damp and hot, and after a padding of animal skins, the group sat on the ground, divided some jerky, and began to gnaw dryly.
The space here is relatively closed, and it is not easy to make a fire, but fortunately there is still some jerky left.
While slowly chewing on rubber-like jerky, everyone chatted, and after chatting, they naturally talked about the reconstruction area.
"Company Commander Xia, why don't you introduce to us, what should we pay attention to in the reconstruction area?" Huang Jiahui asked.
Company Commander Xia was stunned for a moment, forcibly swallowed the food in his mouth, and said: "There is nothing to pay attention to, the law is basically the same as the previous law, but it is more harsh, of course, there are some changes in some places, such as work assignment, compulsory service, especially service, which is mandatory, once the recruitment notice is reached, you must serve, otherwise you will be treated as a deserter." Even if they don't go into the military, everyone must have a certain amount of time for military training in preparation for the next call-up. ”
"Do you want all women?" Cao Lin was a little speechless. But she was only a little surprised, not really unbearable. After all, having experienced so many dangers and coming to this point, she is no longer a delicate woman before the end of the world.
"Men and women are the same, and when they encounter mutant beasts, they don't take care of women." Company Commander Xia said solemnly.
This is all the soldiers, Luo Yuan's heart is a little heavy.
"What else?" Huang Jiahui continued to ask.
"You should also know about the food rationing system, and money is basically used very little now. If you're a survivor, you'll get a certain amount of food and water every month until you're assigned a job, and of course you'll get a ticket.
However, you will have more choices, whether you are a soldier or stationed in a small town on the edge, the living conditions are definitely better than being a worker. Lian Commander Xia thought for a while and said.
"A small town on the edge?" Luo Yuan asked.
"The redevelopment area is just a general term, after all, it houses more than 100 million people, and it can't be just a city. In fact, it is composed of many cities, there are core areas, there are also marginal areas, we divide it into three rings, and the third ring is the periphery area, and it is also the last line of defense of mankind, although the danger is not as good as the front line, but attacks also occur from time to time. It's a bit more dangerous for civilians. Xia Lian said.
Everyone's expressions did not change at all, and even the primeval forest came out, and they no longer paid attention to such a small danger.
"You just said that the work assignment is not allowed to do business now?" Huo Dong asked curiously, he started business before graduating from junior high school, and he didn't know what else he would do except business.
"That's not it, it's just a few, and most of them will be assigned to work in various factories according to their respective strengths, and if they can't do it, of course they can do business. However, the reconstruction area is now under a wartime system, and there is not much manpower and resources to waste, let alone the employment of workers and the supply of raw materials. Lian Commander Xia explained. This has already blocked the private economy.
…………
Everyone chatted without a word, time flew by, and soon it was dawn.
After a night of sleep, everyone did not feel very tired, and as soon as the morning dawned, the team set off.
After searching for almost an hour, they finally found the entrance to the highway.
Maybe the reason why both sides of the road before the end of the world are Gobi and desert, Luo Yuan was a little surprised to find that this highway was actually quite well preserved, the asphalt pavement corrosion was not serious, and the plants in the isolation area were also very sparse. Sometimes the wind blows, and the wind is mixed with some fine sand, although the small ones are difficult to distinguish, but they still make everyone have some joy, which shows that the desert here is not completely infected by plants.
But he apparently rejoiced a little too soon, and the environment in the west made him realize what it means to be changeable.
When four hours later, pedestrians quickly crossed the Gobi and drilled into the mountains again, and the road surface suddenly became choppy.
A lot of the time, it's a big section of the road that collapses, or the road is flooded with rocks, but that's not the most troublesome, and once the bridge connecting the two peaks collapses, you have to retreat and escape into the jungle and take a detour.
