Chapter 3 Inside the Gathering Place
"Hey! Little Brother Ye! Pu Song stepped up to stop Ye Xing's progress, and shouted with a smile, but his eyes kept looking at the two people beside Ye Xing, and the moment he saw Li Hou and Hu Feng, his face immediately changed, and the other party gave him a very strong pressure, which was exactly the same as the high-level people in the gathering place!
"Who are these two?" Pu Song paused twice, then turned back to Ye Xing again and asked.
Ye Xing stepped forward a little respectfully, took out a cigarette from the nylon bag in his hand with a smile on his face and put it in Pu Song's hand, and then said with a smile: "Brother Pu Song, this is filial piety to you, these two behind me are my friends, please make it convenient." ”
When Pu Song saw a cigarette handed over by Ye Xing, his eyes lit up, and the smile on his face became even bigger, "No problem!" It's all good to say! You can just take your friend to check if you have the virus. ”
It is very important to check whether you are infected with the virus, and Pu Song does not dare to relax in this regard, even if he has a pack of valuable cigarettes in front of him. This is related to the life and death of the entire gathering place, he is not so stupid, nor is he so greedy.
"Good! No problem! Ye Xing hurriedly responded, this Pu Song is the first level, and it is also the strictest level, strangers must go through very strict questioning, during this period, the origin of the identity will be asked clearly, it is very troublesome, it is very cost-effective to bribe the other party with a cigarette to get the exemption here, after all, there are two great gods behind him!
Ye Xing took Li Hou and Hu Feng through the iron gate and walked to a simple wooden house on the side of the door, in fact, the method of checking the virus is very simple, you only need to drop a drop of blood to see that there is a trace of gray in the blood of the infected person, which is very conspicuous against the background of red blood!
The process is very hassle-free and quick to complete.
"Two adults......" Ye Xing didn't know what to do next, and he didn't know the purpose of Li Hou and the two of them coming to this settlement.
"Show us around." Li Hou was still smiling, he looked at the slightly desolate environment around him, and had a spectrum in his heart, this is the task he came, to observe the specific situation of the settlement in Jiange County, so that the church can be prepared before taking over all the survivors here, and also find out the strength range of all the awakened here.
Ye Xing was stunned for a moment, and then immediately laughed, "No problem!" No problem! ”
Taking these two people to visit the settlement is cheap and occupied, which is equivalent to two alternative bodyguards, Ye Xing is very clear about this, so he is quite excited in his heart at this time.
……
The place of residence was changed from barns, and the passage between the barns was built into a road, so that it was like a small town, and on the road, people of all sizes, old and young, sat on the side of the road, staring at the front with dull eyes, and their faces were sallow, but a trace of longing for life could be seen in their dull eyes, which showed that these people were not completely numb, but it could also be seen that this terrible life made them about to become the walking dead.
"It's terrible!" Empress Li sighed, "The name of Shine will surely spread in this cruel place to redeem these numb humans!" ”
"How fortunate we are that we have the blessing of the Lord to lament the pain here, otherwise we are one of the pains!" Hu Feng didn't know how to say what he saw along the way, all the food was distributed uniformly, two meals a day, a bowl of porridge and a little dish mixed together without knowing what was one meal.
Most people sit by the roadside and wait, there is no entertainment, and no one is in the mood to play anything in such a time, they are thinking about everything that happened, why the end is coming, how to live in the future, how to live, when to end this miserable day.
"The two adults are actually quite good, and some people are even more miserable, they are completely the playthings of those high-level for their entertainment, but no one will want to escape from here, this gathering place is the only place to live, so everyone is willing to put up with it." Ye Xing said with a hint of sadness, he had seen too many people starving to death because they didn't find enough food, and those who were captured to be used as toys.
This era has become extremely dark, when the "electricity" that represents civilization is cut off, all order collapses, killing, burning and looting can be seen everywhere, the most crazy side of human nature is revealed, covering up the goodness and sympathy of human nature, until the appearance of the strong brings a glimmer of hope, the establishment of a new order, the order established with blood does not bring much hope.
Empress Li did not answer, his eyes were full of steadfastness, God's doctrine was to save those mournful lambs, so that they could believe in the great light and be redeemed! Out of this sea of suffering. But he also knew that it was not yet time, and to be honest, he was excited at this time, eager to know what the survivors would look like when they felt the glory of the Flare.
"Don't think about it." Hu Feng interrupted Empress Li's fantasy, of course he knew what Empress Li was thinking at this time, it was nothing more than some pretended pictures, spreading the name of the shining god in front of these people, letting them feel the glory and power of the god, and finally having a trace of worship for him, and he himself enjoyed it like this.
Empress Li gave Hu Feng a roll of his eyes, but did not say anything, but focused on a middle-aged man who was cleanly dressed and looked noble, and the other party was incompatible with the surrounding environment, just like those rich landlords of the Qing Dynasty who were walking in the slums in gorgeous clothes.
But Li Hou could feel that the other party did not have that kind of temperament, but it was a bit like pretending, that kind of noble temperament he had only felt in a few high-level members of the church, that kind of temperament was natural, as if it was innate, and people wanted to kneel and bow when they saw it.
The middle-aged man also seemed to be aware of Liming's gaze, snorted coldly at the three of them, and proudly walked to a small shop made of tiled houses, and there was a word hanging on the store - "Dian" recruitment.
When Ye Xing saw the store, he pinched the nylon bag in his hand, the cigarettes in it were exchanged for his life, he could take out a part of it in exchange for enough food, and the rest could be handed in to complete the task, there was an unwritten rule in the gathering place, and the seller of anything that was pawned by the pawn shop could not answer the store's inquiry about the source and source, because most of the things were dead people's money.
"Can you, sir, let me exchange the cigarettes in this bag for food?" Ye Xing asked eagerly, he said very tactfully, only said that he needed to change food, and did not say whether to enter the store together, but he estimated that Li Hou and the two had an eighty percent chance of agreeing and accompanying him, because he deliberately omitted the store along the way.
Li Hou agreed without any hesitation, and Hu Feng frowned slightly, and then agreed, Hu Feng had actually guessed Ye Xing's thoughts, he didn't break it, so he acquiesced to the other party's behavior.
Ye Xing's heart that originally mentioned his throat and eyes was put down, and at the same time, his heart was also much more relaxed, with the protection of these two adults, at least he could get out of this pawn house safely, and the twenty or thirty cigarettes in his hand were enough to surprise those big people.
A cigarette can be exchanged for at least half a month's food, and more than half of these twenty or thirty cigarettes are handed in, and the rest of the food exchanged for is enough for him to eat for a month or two. And you can get a lot of rewards.
