Chapter 33: On the Road
"The gun should be straight, the assassination should be fast, the gun should be steady, don't always think about your super ability, and then think about other things after the gun is practiced." Zheng Yifan was lying on the front tricycle eating chilled watermelon.
In front of him, Li Ning was sweating profusely and practicing marksmanship, along the way, in addition to sleeping and eating, Li Ning was practicing marksmanship, as for the super ability, he had never shown it, and even the other members of the team had never seen it.
But they knew that the strange weapon in the guard's hand was definitely a special weapon for his superpowers.
And his superpowers must be special.
"Leader, let's solve it when we encounter zombies, you don't have to go, and besides, Guard Li hasn't rested much for three days, so your body will be tired." A female accountant in the team really couldn't bear it, and slowly walked to Zheng Yifan's side and said.
"Don't call me the leader, from now until I return to Tianrui Pass, you have to call me captain, as for Li Ning, don't feel distressed about your little girl, this is the limit of exercising his body, superpowers are different from ordinary people, ordinary people can toss badly, and superpowers become stronger and stronger the more they toss." Zheng Yifan's face was full of evil smiles.
"Yes, Captain." Along the way, Zheng Yifan, who was eyebrow-raising between the little girl and Li Ning, didn't see it, but just let it be. If he can achieve positive results, Zheng Yifan will not be stingy with a big gift.
"Roar!" In the distance, two zombies swayed on the grassland looking for prey, their noses wrinkled and wrinkled to smell the information from the wind.
"Roar!" Suddenly, they smelled a hint of food, and then excitedly strode towards the abandoned road.
"Huh!" The fire flickered, and then a ray of red light connected the necks of the two zombies. It then turns into a green liquid in the flames.
Zheng Yifan casually put the mourning crystal in mid-air into his pocket. A young man at the back of the team walked up to the zombie and silently absorbed the zombie's liquid into a transparent plastic bag. Then he said "Smack!" to the plastic bag. A beat.
The liquid in the plastic bag suddenly turned into a capsule-sized pill, which he received into the cloth bag on the tricycle.
He was Zheng Yifan's male secretary named Sun Jiang, and when he was considering the use of auxiliary serum, he was chosen.
When using the serum, he gained a superpower called Ning Hua. It is possible to turn a substance into a concentrate.
Water, which can be turned into concentrated ice, and solids can increase its density. And the liquid melted by zombies like this one can also be made into concentrated capsules by him, the plastic bag is concentrated into the outer skin of the capsule, and the liquid inside is concentrated into the essence of the zombies. Of course, this is not a serum, it has no effect of activating super energy, it is just convenient to carry. The only effect of taking this thing is that eighty percent of them are either poisoned by plastic or turned into zombies.
With Zheng Yifan's reprimand, Li Ning trained more diligently, and the fire from Zheng Yifan's shot made Li Ning even more excited.
He doesn't possess the power of fire, nor can he wield the lethality of this enhanced superpower, but he has his own superpowers.
The two poles were no longer garbage superpowers in his hands, and the powerful power made him tremble in fear.
But he didn't know why Zheng Yifan had never let him use super training, but forced him to exercise his body and marksmanship.
He did it loyally. The ability to train his marksmanship more accurately, and his strong body control ability allowed him to learn quickly faster.
The power of the supernatural is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, and it may only take a few days for them to adapt and learn from their ordinary powers, and they can reach heights that others cannot reach in a lifetime.
But if you want to use super power like Zheng Yifan, it will be impossible.
Just now, Zheng Yifan swung a shot in mid-air, and the flames burst out, and it was only a few sparks before the death crystals of the two zombies were torn into the air, and the body was only burned by the flames, and it was quickly extinguished.
In Li Ning's eyes, Zheng Yifan's way of controlling his super energy is obviously more powerful.
The convoy moved slowly, and as long as there were zombies, they would be eliminated, whether it was a first or second order. As for the third-order zombies, they have never encountered them, and the third-order zombies rarely appear in the wild and act alone, they will always stay with a group of zombies. It's like a leader.
It's a sight to see a dozen tricycles marching in line on the road, and a truckload of goods attracts all the humans.
But the ones they encountered on the road were generally barely able to survive, and they walked a day away from the gathering place in search of something that might be used for food rations.
Occasionally, a few people come up to ask for saliva or a ration, Zheng Yifan will generously subsidize them, and of course, he will also ask them about the current situation of many Hansui City gathering places.
From their mouths, they learned that although there is no shortage of food in the gathering place of Hansui City, these grains are in the hands of the rulers, and it is difficult for ordinary people to obtain them, and there are only two ways to get food, the first way is to join the division commander, and the second way is that most people can do is to come out to find what the division commander needs, and then exchange it for huàn grain.
The currency circulating in the gathering place was not mourning crystals, nor grain, but their own coins, with a denomination on the coin, which was almost impossible to imitate in this era when all machinery was lying on its stomach, so they quickly completed the issuance, and exchanged it for huàn based on grain, and one yuan was equal to a pound of fine grain.
The maximum denomination is 100, the minimum denomination is one cent, the currency is issued very widely, but the circulation is very smooth, because in the gathering place of Hansui City, there are some granaries that are placed publicly and can be exchanged for money at any time.
All the members of the gathering place can go to the huàn at any time, and after several months of testing, there has been no difference of half a cent.
Zheng Yifan saw the coins of the gathering place in the denomination of 1 cent and 1 dime from an uncle who begged for water and had a lunch by the way.
On the front is a portrait of a soldier with a resolute face, and only the denomination is written on the back, which feels shoddy no matter how you look at it. It is said to be the work of a formation mage in the gathering place of Hansui City, who made a press work again. The possibility of mass production has been reached.
But Zheng Yifan knows that it is very difficult to imitate in the absence of electricity, as for the use of water conservancy, it is even more fantastical, the creek may not be anything, those rivers have long become the abyss of death, whoever touches it will die, and the brutal fish in it have evolved although they are not zombies, and they can devour almost any living thing.
"Captain, compared with the gathering place of Hansui City, we hope that the system in the gathering place is still not strict enough, and the centralization of power is not as good as the gathering place of Hansui City, and the number of people cannot be compared with them, do we want to carry out the second step of the rectification plan after we go back?" Secretary Sun Jiang walked up to Zheng Yifan and asked.
Now only he and Li Ning have the right to give opinions to Zheng Yifan in the entire team, so naturally it is up to him to say these words, Li Ning is a madman who practices martial arts, and it is almost impossible to expect him to say this.
"Don't worry, raising so many staff officers is not for them to eat rice, rectification needs to come step by step, adding too many constraints to the loose crowd at once is easy to cause resistance, we should boil frogs in warm water, let's go to the gathering place in Hansui City now to reduce their threat? Destroy the food system they control, and hollow out all their mourning crystals, and it's better to get some more serum. It is best to hold on to this trade route, slowly drag down the strength of the gathering place of Hansui City, and get what we need. Zheng Yifan explained slowly.
"The most important thing is to dump luxury goods, sell tobacco and alcohol, food, vegetables, meat, so that as many people in the gathering place of Hansui City can survive." Zheng Yifan couldn't help but sigh.
He can only do so much, although he says that more people will survive, but what really needs them to fight with their lives is the little bit of mourning crystal that huàn meager food.
Real prices can never be depressed, because they are already pegged to the currency, and the managers of the Hansui City Cluster will also monitor the entire market.
Zheng Yifan's movements shouldn't be active for too long.
As they talked, time passed minute by minute, and gradually, the team could already see the wall of the gathering place in Hansui City.
It was really a walled wall, not a reinforced concrete wall, let alone a masonry structure, but a gathering place surrounded by huge wooden piles.
A few kilometers away, you can see the boundless wall. Occasionally, patrolling warriors can be seen inside.
Outside the gathering place, teams of explorers also appeared on the road.
Don't think about tricycles, all of them are modified wooden cars, most of which use car tires, and they are withdrawn after simple modifications.
Most people rely on two legs, and if you have a bicycle in the crowd, you can be considered a captain.
The location of the gathering place of Hansui City is very good, it is located in the middle of the grassland, and there are abundant water veins, and the groundwater resources are also quite abundant.
The whole town is a big granary, and this grassland should also have a plan to be converted into cultivated land.
Walking forward, everyone began to discuss the structure of the gathering place in Hansui City.
Relying on the original buildings of the town, it slowly began to expand, it is said that the number of people has reached more than 300,000, so many people simply do not have enough housing, there are patches of messy wooden houses outside, barely able to shelter from the wind and rain, if it is still warm in winter, it can continue to last, if it encounters a cold winter, it will inevitably freeze to death Most of the people.
But no one cares about that, and no one knows if they will survive today. At the gate of the walled gate, a whole line of hundreds of meters long began to line up from the entrance of the highway, a person with yellow face and thin muscles carrying a small backpack, a single person pays an entrance fee of 2 cents, a bicycle 1 yuan, a car that pulls goods 5 yuan, and the transaction tax is calculated separately in the trading market.
