Chapter 111: The Beginning of the Edge
The next day, Mu Jingyu took Mu Jingrui to Ye Fan and the others' residence after nine o'clock. After a full night's rest, everyone looked much better.
"I didn't have time yesterday, but today we will go to the town hall to complete the formalities of entering the city." Mu Jingyu said with a smile, still looking innocent. Originally, everyone who entered the Jiangcheng base had to register when they entered the city, and then the base staff would allocate accommodation according to the registration form filled out by the people entering the city and their own specific conditions.
Unlike the Beihai base, the accommodation area of the Jiangcheng base is relatively scattered, and there is no particularly obvious slum area. When a large number of survivors poured into the base, Yin Ruoxi immediately carved out a lot of open space in the base to build a large number of buildings, although it was very simple with four walls, and there was not even a separate bathroom, but it was better than the Beihai base that gave you a vacant land to build a shack there. As for the Aliens, of course, the living conditions are better than those of the average survivor. Base accommodation is basically divided according to the skills of the personnel entering the base. For example, those who can farm are located in the accommodation area closest to the production area, and those who can manufacture are of course near the industrial area, and scholars are naturally located near the research institute. As for those who do not have particularly useful skills in the last days, they will be divided into so-called labor zones. If there are both scholars and farmers in the family, the base will give them the right to choose freely. In this way, the accommodation area of the Jiangcheng base has slowly formed some small cluster effects.
Except for Yun Ling, who had a special situation, stayed in the villa accidentally, the rest of the people followed Mu Jingyu towards the city hall. It's past nine o'clock in the morning, and there aren't many people on the road, but the sad look on their faces is pretty much the same for everyone. Ye Fan asked Mu Jingrui curiously, "Why are these people so bitter?" "Although Ye Fan and the others have been running around, because the real ordinary people among them are only two dragon and phoenix fetuses with two high IQs, plus the disinfectant medicine provided by Ye Fan, they naturally did not catch the epidemic.
"You didn't know when you first arrived, but the temperature suddenly rose after the snow melted some time ago. Such a drastic temperature change is already easy to make people sick, and after a winter, I don't know how many zombies have frozen to death outside, which has caused epidemics. It's very similar to carbon maggot fever. Small pimples begin to appear on certain parts of the body, followed by blisters, ulceration and necrosis, and finally black eschar. During this period, it will not take more than two days, accompanied by high fever and vomiting, once the black eschar is formed, it will cause sepsis, starting from the lungs, the organs will fail rapidly, and there is no cure at all. Mu Jingrui said sadly, "And this disease can be transmitted through the air, which is very difficult to prevent." ”
After hearing this, Ye Fan quickly turned his head and glanced at Fei Qian, to say that on the way here, Fei Qian had already reminded everyone that there would be an epidemic, but he didn't expect the situation to be so serious. Just look at Mu Jingyu's sad expression when he talked to Mu Jingrui about this question. Fei Qian didn't speak, yesterday Mu Jingzhi and Mu Jingyu's family reached an agreement, but the details still have to be talked about slowly.
Everyone walked all the way and listened to Mu Jingyu's introduction. The overall plan of the Jiangcheng base is similar to that of the Beihai base, with shops on both sides of the road under the jurisdiction of the government, most of which sell daily necessities. "Everything in the store can be exchanged for contribution points. Of course, if you have extra things, you can also get them here in exchange for contribution points. Private transactions are not allowed at the base. Mu Jingrui said.
Ye Fan took a look, there were many shops in the Jiangcheng base, basically everything was changed, and in a small shop on the corner of the street, Ye Fan even saw a weapon shop, which displayed all kinds of weapons from firearms to ammunition. Such a complete range of types does not need to be a large-scale private trading place like the Beihai base. And it would keep most of the resources firmly in the hands of the government.
"This is good!" Yang Qing also saw the shop, his eyes lit up. Although Ye Fan scanned a lot of weapons at the gunhead, he was definitely inferior to the base government in terms of the complete variety. When he was in the Beihai base, he had no contribution points but no place to change them, and all that flowed out of the market was written that Yang Qing couldn't look at, but the Jiangcheng base generously put the latest two weapons in the store, but the price was very high.
Mu Jingyu explained with a smile, "The management system of the Jiangcheng base is different from that of the Beihai base, the base will not require the stranger to go out on a mission, but every time he goes out and comes back, he must hand over a quarter of the materials obtained. In order to provide a strong guarantee for the base personnel who go out to do tasks, all the weapons that the base can provide can be exchanged for contribution points. ”
"Is it okay to buy missiles as long as I have contribution points?" Wang Meng asked.
"Yes, as long as you have so many contribution points." Mu Jingyu replied. The Jiangcheng base is basically free of hands in terms of weapon management, as long as there are contribution points, you can exchange anything.
"How can you be sure that the team that went out came back and obediently handed over a quarter of the supplies?" Ye Fan was a little puzzled, even if there is no team of spatial abilities, people with space abilities can't send the people in charge of inventory to the space to do inventory, right?
This time, Mu Jingrui explained to Ye Fan, "The base requires those with abilities to register, except for those with spatial abilities, others don't need to register the types of abilities. If you conceal or make false reports, you will be driven away by the base. Also, the base does not allow private transactions, and those teams with spatial abilities will only find out that they are hiding things in secret if they don't have time to exchange them for things at the shops in the base. ”
Ye Fan thought about it, and it seemed that there was some truth, so that he could not completely eliminate the behavior of hiding materials in private, but it could eliminate the vast majority. After all, the space adepts are not the cabbage that was sold all over the streets before the end of the world, and most people still have to obediently hand over a quarter of the supplies when they enter the base.
While speaking, several people have already come to the town hall, which serves as a personnel registration hall and a task release hall, and there must be a lot of people in normal times, but now there are not many. There were only a few people watching the tasks that were constantly scrolling on the large LED screen in the lobby. Ye Fan stopped and took a closer look, it was basically the same as that of the Beihai base, most of them were searching for supplies, and some were looking for people. Among the many tasks, Ye Fan saw a rather special one.
"Collect all kinds of mutated animals, whether you live or die, the reward is negotiable." The publisher is Nancheng Research Institute. Ye Fan's eyes rolled, this is a good job, and now she only has the contribution points of the Beihai base in her pocket. There are no classes at the Jiangcheng base. And although Mu Jingyu didn't mention the rent of the house they lived in, Ye Fan didn't think it was very good, not to mention that there were water and electricity and the like, so they couldn't let the Mu family pay it, right? It's all money. And looking at Yang Qing's appearance, he is very interested in the weapon shop in the base, which is a lot of money.
Ye Fan thought about it, and was depressed to find that he had changed from a little rich woman in the Beihai base to a poor bastard in the Jiangcheng base, and he was a little unhappy in his heart.
"Yezi, what's wrong?" Fei Qian saw Ye Fan stop on the big screen and stare at the released information, and her face showed some tangled expressions from time to time, thinking that she had thought of something difficult.
Ye Fan woke up from his thoughts when he heard Fei Qian's voice, "It's nothing. She smiled, if she let Fei Qian know that she was distressed by the failure of the tens of thousands of contribution points in the Beihai base just now, she would definitely be laughed at by him. Ye Fan couldn't accept being a rich woman and then being a poor woman, so she decided to send Ah Xiang out to catch prey after she went back for a while, and if she wanted to live, it would definitely be more valuable to sell it to the research institute alive.
Seeing that Ye Fan was reluctant to say anything, Fei Qian didn't continue to ask, but handed Ye Fan a registration form. Ye Fan looked at it, the registration form was not complicated, only name, gender, age, occupation before the end of the world, and whether it was an anomaly, whether it was a spatial ability. It's much simpler than filling out the application form when applying for a job in the past. Ye Fan filled it out with a brush, gave the registration form back, and the staff logged in the information into the computer.
At this time, the staff member who was logging in was a woman in her twenties, and it was enough for her to be nervous that this group of people was personally accompanied by Mu Jingyu today, but now she saw that five of the seven people were superpowers, although there were no spatial superpowers, but it still made her hands tremble several times.
When the staff smiled flatteringly at him and handed the black identity card symbolizing the supernatural person and the green identity card symbolizing the senior researcher to several people, the Mu family siblings who had never looked at their registration form were also taken aback. Mu Jingrui could finally understand where the awkward expression on the staff member just now came from, because she didn't know what to put on now.
There are not a few people in the Jiangcheng base, there are more than 2,000 in Nancheng alone, which sounds like a lot, but there are more than 2 million people in the Jiangcheng base. Generally, it is good to have one Adept in a squad of dozens of people. Mu Jingyu looked at the seven people with a calm face with complicated eyes, five supernatural people, and two researchers, and this comprehensive quality was definitely the first place in the entire Jiangcheng base team.
"Jingzhi, you are also a supernatural person?" Mu Jingyu asked, the research institute has already analyzed that only those who are exposed to the protective layer at the time of the meteorite impact can evolve into an anomaly, and this proportion is very low. Mu Jingzhi should have entered the base before the end of the world, how could he be an alien? This made him rush to doubt.
"Oh, this one." Mu Jingzhi smiled indifferently and said, "It's because of the blessing of the two fathers and sons of the Tomo family that I became like this." As he spoke, Mu Jingzhi raised his hand, raised two fingers, and invoked his ability. There was nothing between the fingertips, and a cluster of purple flames skewed out.
Mu Jingrui stared at Mu Jingzhi's hand rarely, she had seen a lot of abilities, and she had also seen fire-based ones, but it was the first time she had seen the flame was purple, and Mu Jingrui wanted to reach out and touch it to see if it was the same as the usual flame but was dodged by Mu Jingzhi.
"Jing Rui be careful, my fire temperature is high." Mu Jingzhi said. What he said was not a lie, the temperature of a normal flame is the lowest in red and the highest in blue, and the temperature of the purple flame in Mujingzhi is much higher than that of blue, so you must not touch it with your hands.
"Are you talking about Mo Yiping?" Mu Jingyu's eyes darkened, he had already roughly guessed that Mu Jingzhi had received the Mo family's calculations before he unexpectedly became an alien. If it weren't for Mu Jingzhi's luck, he would have turned into a zombie by now.
"What! That guy framed you? Mu Jingrui also reacted at this time, and the two eyebrows, which looked a little straight for a lady, were raised and asked loudly.
"That's right." Mu Jingzhi replied stunned, and looked at Mu Jingrui, who was a little overexcited, puzzled.
"Brother! He knew that his cousin was also from the Mu family, and he framed him like this! Mo Yiping didn't take the Mu family in his eyes at all! I definitely don't want to marry him! Mu Jingrui said angrily, originally he thought that Mo Yiping was lustful, but he didn't expect him to be so insidious, which strengthened her determination not to marry into the Mo family.
"Yo, I didn't expect you to be Mo Yiping's brother-in-law." Wang Meng whispered to Mu Jingzhi, "It seems that this brother-in-law is really unacceptable, people frame their brother-in-law before they have even married, and they must not marry their sister-in-law." ”
Mu Jingzhi looked left and right, and saw that Ye Fan and the others were all looking at him curiously, "Why didn't you tell us that there was such a relationship between you and Mo Yiping?" Ji Shaotong raised his eyebrows and asked. Even Ji Shaojun, who had always had a poker face, looked at him with an inquiring eye.
"I really don't know, no one has ever told me about Jing Rui and Mo Yiping." Mu Jingzhi burst into tears in his heart, this kind of unreliable thing didn't need to be thought about to know that it was caused by his uncle, he knew that Mo Yiping still dared to target Mu Jingrui, when he was in the Beihai base, he would find an opportunity to kill him directly, and if he couldn't do it, he would be abolished, and he could still be left at the Jiangcheng base to block Yin Ruoxi?
"Mo Yiping didn't tell you?" Mu Jingyu asked.
"You didn't tell me, why did he tell me?" Mu Jingzhi asked rhetorically.
Everyone was speechless for a while, no one from the Mo family and the Mu family told Mu Jingzhi, no wonder he didn't know anything about it.
Mu Jingyu smiled, waved his hand and said, "There is no way to do this for the time being." Later, Jing Rui will definitely not marry anyway. It's almost time, let's go to the training ground. ”
In the Mu family's mansion, Yin Ruoxi, who was about to rush to the training ground as promised, ushered in her husband who had not returned home for more than half a year. As soon as Mu Stone entered the Mu family's mansion, he saw Yin Ruoxi packing up and preparing to go out. is still the same face that sees him and sees ordinary people, and is not shocked. Muston felt irritated for no reason.
"What about Mu Jingzhi? When you come back, you don't know how to come and talk to me. ”
Yin Ruoxi lowered his eyes, and not far from the sky looked at Mu Sitong, who had a good appearance but exuded a despicable temperament, and said lightly, "Jingzhi ate at home yesterday, and now he has gone out with Jingyu, and he won't be able to come back for a while." ”
Mu Stone saw that Yin Ruoxi lowered his head slightly, and didn't look at him at all. He felt even more uncomfortable, although the Mu family was no worse than the Yin family, he always felt that he couldn't hold his head up in front of his wife, who was dignified and decent all the time. Even if Yin Ruoxi didn't look at him at this time, he still felt that he was despised by the other party.
"Wait until he comes back and call him to me!" Throwing down a sentence, Mu Stone hurriedly walked out of the house.
Yin Ruoxi followed the house as usual, and the two husbands and wives walked one after the other, one left and one right, towards their different destinations, just like two unrelated strangers.
When Yin Ruoxi arrived at the training ground, the playground was crowded with people. They are all soldiers, and they have an inexplicable love for weapons. I heard that some researchers had brought new weapons for testing, and they rushed over. Mu Jingyu looked helplessly at several of his people like animals in a zoo, being watched. He didn't expect that what Mu Jingzhi was talking about was a new weapon, and a person who accidentally let the person who helped prepare leak the news, causing so many people to watch.
Yin Ruoxi looked at Mu Jingzhi with a smile and said, "Such a big show? Jing Zhike has to take something good out, otherwise he will be laughed at. ”
Mu Jingzhi looked around, didn't speak, and gave Ji Shao and Ye Fan a look. Ye Fan walked out first with a smile, and casually took out the energy gun that Fei Qian had forced Ji Shaotong to improve for her from her waist that was covered by a wide T-shirt. A shot was fired at a steel plate that had been prepared a few hundred meters away.
The effect is the same as the previous experiment at the North Sea base, where a hole has been dissolved in the steel plate. Mu Jingyu asked someone to move the steel plate used for the test, Yin Ruoxi saw the hole the size of a one-yuan coin on it, and then looked at the small gun in Ye Fan's hand, and smiled happily.
"Good, good! That's really good stuff! "Zombies and mutated animals are becoming more and more resistant to conventional weapons, and now with this new type of weapon, their combat effectiveness can be increased a lot.
"Deeply, that's all right? You're looking at this. Mu Jingzhi smiled and pointed to the gun that had been taken out of the box from the last time he had shown great bravery in the pursuit battle. With his head held high proudly, he turned in one direction and walked towards the area of the bomb dropping experiment. Aim at a target with a red flag 500 meters away and pull the trigger.
The people present only felt that there seemed to be a slight buzzing sound in their ears, and then they saw a bang in the bombing practice field, and the smoke and dust were filled, and the effect was not much stronger than a grenade.
The scene was silent, and after the smoke and dust dissipated, seeing the deep ground, everyone present could no longer hold back and shouted happily. The gun in Ji Shaotong's hand was only the size of a shotgun, but its power did exceed that of a single rocket launcher. This made all the soldiers present very excited.
Mu Jingzhi asked Yin Ruoxi with a smile, "Auntie, are you satisfied with this gift?" ”
Yin Ruoxi patted Mu Jingzhi who was holding him and said, "Satisfied, satisfied." Jingzhi, you've really grown up. Yin Ruoxi's eyes were a little red as she spoke, looking at Mu Jingzhi, who had grown into a person who could take charge of herself, Yin Ruoxi's heart was relieved and sour, the boy who would hold himself and call his aunt, and he had to accompany him to sleep, was gone.
