Chapter 186: Shijiazhuang City
"I'm also part of this team, so I want to do something for this team as well." Milan's tone was helpless and strong, "What can I do?" Shameless! ”
With a wry smile, Milan spoke, shook his arm, waved his hand at Liu Chang, and disappeared into the depths of the fog.
Liu Chang looked at the back of this woman, and he was also helpless for a while-in fact, in all fairness, this girl is really a very good girl--knowledgeable, beautiful, and has a well-informed temperament-Before coming to the end of the world, she was also a lady from a solid family, and there was no shortage of suitors in school.
Not only that, but this woman still retains a unique kindness in the last days - this can be seen from the fact that she used to say good things for every day and let Liu Chang take her with her - because this kind words are not just words, the back of the bird is so big, everyone knows - it is impossible for her not to know. And in the team, if you want to say that it is useless, she may be the most useless, so if Tian Tian really agrees, and then the bird really can't carry so many people, she is the most likely to be driven down.
So, but the kind things she said were definitely not just good and obedient - this girl actually had a kind heart in her bones.
And from what she said just now, it can be heard that her kindness is still strong.
"Actually, I don't believe that there are no good people in the last days." Liu Chang patted Tiantian's shoulder and motioned for her to keep up with her steps, "Take me as an example, although I am much stronger than most people now, and I am no longer soft on killing, I still hate killing." ”
"Well, so am I." Tian Tian smiled, "I hate to see bloodshed, and if possible, I would like to go back to the old days of raising birds to eat snacks and watch TV." ”
"I don't want to go back to the way it was!" When the parrot heard them talking, the parrot cried out again, "You stinky woman, when Lao Tzu was young, you just put Lao Tzu in the birdcage." Don't find a companion for Lao Tzu, you said that people raise birds to raise a pair, you just raise me one, what's the point? ”
"I'm so big that I can't find a female to mate with!"
"That's not right." Hearing the words of the parrot in the sky, Liu Chang looked up at it, "Why didn't you remind it to match?" Aren't there many birds with similar heads to you along the way? ”
"Those birds aren't parrots!" When it came to the question of matching, Zhiqing actually forgot his fear of Liu Chang for the time being, and his tone revealed irritability, "I'm a parrot, not an eagle, not a vulture, not a crow!" There are big ones in those things, but the species are different! Would you like to be paired with monkeys? ”
"Oh, I see!" Liu Chang walked into the city with a smile - but there was still no one in this area, so he continued to speak unscrupulously, "But then again, you are wise now, do you still like parrots?" ”
"Nonsense, don't you like parrots, don't you like people!" Xiao Qing was very annoyed in the sky, "According to you human beings, this is a hormonal problem, and the urine and body odor of female parrots have a fatal attraction to me. ”
"It's over!" Liu Chang nodded and looked at the uninhabited suburban belt of Shijiazhuang, "Your words suddenly reminded me of a joke." ”
"What joke?"
"The story of a mother rabbit and an elephant who fell in love......"
"The female rabbit is so small, how can she fall in love with an elephant?" Interrupted every day, "What about after falling in love?" ”
"After that, the female rabbit exploded, so, Xiaoqing, if you want to find a female parrot in the future, you have to think more about each other and avoid this kind of tragedy!"
Liu Chang's words were serious.
…… The joke is cold, colder in the north, colder in the northern suburbs without people.
In autumn, although Liu Chang was not afraid of the cold wind because of physical fitness problems, looking at the suburbs where there was no one still made him feel a little chill in his heart.
"How can there be no one?" Liu Chang was puzzled, "Shouldn't big cities be the ecosystem of human beings?" I remember that Zhengzhou was still relatively prosperous at that time, and millions of people survived before the willow tree came, and the commercial system and service system were still operating, even if it was a suburb, it shouldn't be so desolate! ”
"It's kind of weird, look at that." Tian Tian pointed to a house that looked dilapidated, but obviously someone had lived in it a while ago, and said: "The grass on the house is only fist-high, it is obvious that there were people living here not long ago, why is there no one now?" ”
"Just go into town and ask." After all, all doubts can only be answered by finding a living person, and Liu Chang accelerated the pace of entering the city.
All the way from the outskirts of the city to the city, Liu Chang finally saw the shadow of a living person here, and without saying a word, he pulled up a passer-by and asked.
"A cookie, bother you for five minutes, do you think it's okay?" Liu Chang took out a compressed biscuit from his bag and shook it in front of the woman who was a little displeased by him, turning the other party's displeasure into a smile.
"Okay, let's ask if you have something." Grabbing the biscuits and stuffing them into her arms, the woman stood in the street.
"Why are there so few people on the streets?" Liu Chang looked around, "Where did everyone else go?" ”
"You're out of town?" The woman looked Liu Chang up and down, with doubts in her eyes.
"I asked you questions, not you asked me, don't waste time, you got paid." Liu Chang pointed to the whole piece of biscuits, "If you don't want to answer, I'll ask someone else!" ”
"Okay, okay, I don't care where you came from." Hearing that Liu Chang was going to take the biscuit back, the woman hurriedly tightened it tightly, stuffed it into her chest, and then answered his question succinctly.
"There are so few people on the street because the political axe has notified us that we can run, so we will try to pack up our things and run to Yanjing. This news was released by the political axe more than a month ago, saying that there is a very terrifying creature that can destroy the entire city, and then it is going to the north, so most of them have fled! The woman replied, "Those who are still here either don't believe the news, or they really have urgent matters that have to be delayed here, but most of them are still gone, this is not far from Yanjing, and I heard that Yanjing is safer there." ”
"That's right." Liu Chang listened to the woman's words and remembered what Li Qingshui once said that he could receive signals on rainy days -- this kind of high-tech equipment may not be available in small places, but if it was a larger city like Shijiazhuang and close to the capital, it would definitely have this kind of equipment.
Moreover, the news that the woman said was sent more than a month ago may also be related to Li Qingshui -- because although Liu Chang's journey from Zhengzhou to Shijiazhuang was bumpy, and he was delayed for nearly a month before and after the Hidden Forest, the journey did not last long.
It was less than two months from the day he left Zhengzhou -- and if Li Qingshui had informed Shijiazhuang before, it might have taken some time for the political axe to deal with the news, so this coincided with the time the woman said.
Therefore, after he sorted out the first question, Liu Chang asked his second question.
"How many people are left?"
"It's not enough!" The woman sighed.
"If it's less than one percent, that's not a lot...... Liu Chang calculated that if one million people survived, one percent would have 100,000, that is, there were actually tens of thousands of people in the city.
"Are there any shops in the city?"
"There are a few more that haven't closed, but the price is ten times higher than usual." The woman pouted and said, "Fight. There has been no shortage of people who have been fighting for wealth since ancient times, and of course there are those who have made money in the last days! ”
"That's it." Liu Chang was also a little annoyed when he heard the price ten times, "Such an expensive price, if I want to change something, I may have to suffer a big loss!" ”
"Not really!" The woman shouted: "Usually you can exchange one pound of food for ten pounds of water, but now it is one pound of noodles for one pound of water, if you exchange it the other way around, you will take a hundred pounds of water, and you will not be able to exchange it for a pound of food in him." ”
"That is, before and after, they all earn ten times as much?" Liu Chang had a headache and said: "This is not easy to do!" ”
"Yes, the son of a bitch, it's almost five minutes, have you finished your question?" The woman tapped on the electronic watch that was still walking on her hand.
"No, let's go." Liu Chang saw off the women and continued towards the city center.
"Let's grab her some water!" Watching the woman walk away, Tiantian's little black face showed a demonic expression, "You are so powerful, what is it to grab something?" ”
"Let's go and see it first, if you can't do it, you can only grab it!" Liu Chang remembered the experience of the last time he clashed with people in a small store - but anyone who dared to make "war money" in the last days generally had a bit of a background, so in order to avoid embarrassment, he also made some other plans.
After all, although the hearts of people in the last days are essentially the same as in previous lives, they are more intense in terms of means.
Asking for directions all the way to the city center, Liu Chang found a purchasing point here - this purchasing point is very large, the scale is equivalent to the wholesale station in the past, but now the flow of people is much sparse - because after all, most of them are gone.
But scarce is scarce, and there is no shortage of guards here.
As soon as he walked to the door with his bag on his back, a guy with a gun greeted him: "This gentleman, what do you want to change?" ”
The person who came had a hideous face, but he forced out a kind smile, which made people look awkward.
"We're here, you know, now only exchange bottled disinfectant, food, weapons and ammunition, nothing else, what do you want to have?" When the man spoke, he did not forget to carry a gun, and it was obvious that the place where this kind of material was in transit was easy for people to be ill-intentioned.
"I want to change some water, guns and ammunition." Liu Chang said.
"Okay, I'll call you a professional salesman." As the big man spoke, he yelled inside: "Inside, come out one, come to business!" ”
