Chapter 162: The Small Restaurant
The Arashi base is divided into three areas by a wall. The core area of the inner wall protection of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is the territory of the original garrison, in addition to the army and the storage of material ammunition, the core high-level of the base live here. Of course, some special talents who were recruited by the provisional government in the later period will also be allowed to move in.
The area between the inner and outer walls is the largest, where there are residential areas, or rather civilian areas. Most of the ordinary people who were contained in the later period lived here. On a daily basis, a company is responsible for policing the area, and there are also staff members of the interim government who are responsible for arranging the work and life of these survivors.
Outside the outer wall, the area between the outpost and the forward outpost is known as the quarantine zone. The area has been largely cleared by the troops at the front, and civilians of sufficient courage are allowed to settle here voluntarily. However, due to the limited isolation effect of the surrounding barbed wire fence, there are still occasional undead attacks in this area, which is not suitable for large-scale survival.
It's been more than a month since the Scourge of the Dead, and it's no longer a secret that soul crystals can grant abilities. Although the probability of low-level zombies producing soul crystals is extremely low, there are always lucky people who become "supermen" with abilities through unremitting efforts or chance.
There are also some fighters with abilities in the military of the Arashi base, but in the comparison of the population base, more of the abilities in the base remain in the people. Moreover, although as a high-ranking military officer, he very much hopes to bring this not weak force under the leadership of the army, but not all people with extraordinary abilities have the consciousness of sacrificing their lives for the country.
More often than not, they would rather use this power to their own advantage.
After studying and discussing, the provisional government issued a policy, that is, to allow the people to organize their own private teams and leave the base to collect supplies from the outside world. Of course, when you return to the base, you will have to hand over some of it, but the rest will be enough for these private organizations or individuals to live a prosperous life.
In addition, the base also provides rental services for conventional weapons and vehicles, which are also reimbursed for the return of supplies. In this way, although there is a suspicion of secondary squeezing, if you feel that you are enough cow X, then you can not rent.
Of course, that's impossible, not to mention that there isn't enough firepower to deal with a massive wave of corpses. There are no vehicles to travel, and it has almost become a fool's dream to safely transport supplies back from the city.
In the residential area near Namdaemun, there is a small restaurant with a small area. Being able to open a restaurant in the Arashi base, which is under military control and has a unified food distribution system, has proven that the background of the boss behind the scenes here is not bad.
Of course, in such a material shortage, there is actually very little food in the restaurant, and the regulars who really like to come here are usually just to inquire about the news or exchange information with each other.
It was winter, and although Arashi was not as cold as the northern cities, the temperature had dropped to its lowest point in years due to the cloudy clouds composed of the necromantic aura in the sky that obscured most of the sunlight.
Although the Arashi base also has a power supply system, oil is now as precious as food, so the power supply time is strictly controlled and limited to lighting. It was impossible to heat the house with electricity or heat, so a fire was lit in the middle of the small restaurant, and the primitive heating method also made the small room warm.
Shao Xiaoyu, who cut his hair to look like a boy, sat alone in a corner of the restaurant, holding a bowl of hot rice porridge, sucking slowly. While enjoying the afternoon, I listened to the small talk between the crowds in the house.
"You know, only three of the seven teams that went out to search for supplies came back this time. Even the squads of 'Uncle Wolf' and 'Electric Lady' are said to have been wiped out......"
"How can there be such a good break in the urban area, those people with extraordinary abilities usually look like 2580,000, do they really think they are invincible in the world?"
"That's not what I said, it depends on luck. At least Uncle Wolf and his team have always won all battles before, and even those government workers are greedy for the materials they have saved. Actually, they're still too greedy, it's me, why go out and take risks when you have so many gains, no, a miss, the previous gains are all cheap to others......"
"But no, didn't there be three teams returning home this time? It is said that not only did they get food, but they also got the most scarce medicine in the base. Tsk, I heard that the military directly exchanged arms with them, which is not a lease, but directly owned by them. In the future, even if you don't stay at the base in Lanshi, you can rely on these guys to go south and north......"
"I heard that they are now recruiting, as if they are preparing to organize a large team to participate in the big operation recently planned by the military. Hehe, isn't our base short of food now? I heard from a soldier that if this operation was successful, there would not be a food crisis at our base for the next year. ”
"That's amazing! So if you participate in this operation, how much can the military give private individuals? ”
"I don't know, but it's certainly not less than usual. After deducting all expenses, it's no problem for you to eat alone for a year or two......"
"No, I have to sign up too, isn't it just killing zombies? Lao Tzu came all the way from Qichang County, and killing zombies has long been commonplace. Eating the relief food of the fading bird every day, Lao Tzu has long been tired of crookedness. ”
"Ah, Brother Cheng, I'll go too, I'll go too, I still have a wife and children at home. I'm going to have to find a way to get them some nourishment......"
Listening to these people's discussions, Shao Xiaoyu shook his head helplessly. When she took the Meng family brothers and the surviving women to flee to the Lan City base, they all made a big circle from the Ring Road. She didn't dare to try how dangerous the city was, but when she thought about how dangerous it was, she had encountered so many terrible enemies in just such a small place as Longqian Town.
And a provincial capital city with a population of more than seven million, just thinking about how dangerous it is, just thinking about it makes her shiver. You can't blame yourself for being cowardly, it's really the people who are in full swing for these discussions, and the too ignorant are fearless.
After separating from Wang Qi, Shao Xiaoyu also gained two soul crystals to enhance his power with his own ability. Now her strength has reached the middle stage of a second-order ability.
In the corner of the wall next to her, there was a one-man tall metal "bat". However, no one knew that this inconspicuous-looking rod was a lead-core copper shell with a total weight of more than 1,000 catties. Now, in the entire Arashi base, it is estimated that only she can use this kind of thing as a conventional weapon.
Putting down the empty porridge bowl, Shao Xiaoyu licked his mouth unsatisfied, and was about to get up to leave, when the door of the restaurant was rudely pushed open.
