Chapter 34: Children

"The bunnies in front of me stopped me, have you paid the protection fee?" Behind him, a group of strong men walked over, their bodies shaking like gangsters in the real world.

The fact is also the same, outside the gate of the gathering place in Hansui City, they are a group of gangsters. I didn't have the courage to go out to deal with zombies, but because of my height and strength, and a relative who was a gatekeeper in the gathering place, I began to collect protection money.

They don't dare to provoke a powerful team at all, so they can only bully ordinary people or businessmen from other gathering places.

The gathering place of Hansui City is not as self-sufficient as the hope gathering place, they need other gathering places to provide daily necessities, they need other gathering places to provide salt, non-staple food, and they need other gathering places to provide essence.

The highest success rate of the essence fruits they cultivated themselves did not exceed 20%, and as for the lowest-level piranha flower essence fruits, the success rate was less than 5%.

And the vast majority of all activated superpowers are low-level superpowers, and their combat abilities are very low, although they can still be used in battle, but the combat effectiveness they can exert is really worrying.

The only ones who can be used are those who can operate firearms, and they will be recruited into special regiments by the army in the gathering place for training, and the best talents can enter the 21st Division to become official elite soldiers.

Now, Zheng Yifan is regarded as a merchant from other gathering places to come to trade, and usually such a team will smoke such a thin layer of oil and water.

"This big brother! When we meet for the first time, this is a small gift, not a tribute. Zheng Yifan was still lying on the tricycle, and it was the secretary Sun Jiang who dealt with the gangsters in front, and he handed over a bag of 5 catties of rice.

This is customized by Zheng Yifan in the real world, and the packaging has no words at all, just an ordinary woven bag, and the rice inside is also the worst rice bought.

These are sold to others, and there is no need to buy good ones, but to be suspicious.

"Boy, count your acquaintance, report the name of our chaotic mercenary group on the periphery of the gathering place, absolutely no one dares to care about you, just walk sideways." The gangster leader shook his way back and continued to collect protection money.

Sun Jiang took a sip of "puff" at the ground before coming to Zheng Yifan's side with an unhappy face: "Captain! Why give them to them, I can beat them both myself. ”

"Why bother with that trouble, the purpose of our coming here is not to show off, to sell things, and the purpose is to complete the main thing." Zheng Yifan said half-asleep.

Then he continued to lie down on the tricycle and went to sleep.

The others next to him couldn't help but purse their lips and snicker.

"They are all superpowers, and they are still angry with this, but this group of grandsons must not end well, and Lao Tzu's rice is not so easy to harvest." Sun Jiang glanced at the gangsters sly.

Just now, he had already mixed two zombie condensed essences similar to rice into the rice, and the things he made were the same as rice, and there was an ordinary rice on the outside to make a layer of shell, so he couldn't see anything strange at all.

But if you eat it, you will definitely become a zombie.

In the gathering place of Hansui City, the old rice wants to be sold for money, but it has to be discounted, Sun Jiang does not believe that these guys are willing to lose it, according to his estimate, eighty percent of the rice will have to be eaten by themselves.

In the end, they are the ones who turn into zombies.

Snickering, they entered the gathering place, and the gate fee was very smooth, and there were no gate officials who were rampant.

The management of the 21st Division is very harsh, but anyone who engages in corruption and bribery will be immediately sentenced to death.

In this way, they didn't dare to collect benefits openly, but it was not under the control of the 21st Division to support others to collect benefits, and the so-called chaotic mercenary group was supported by a few gatekeepers.

"First ...... Captain, let's go directly to Caishen Street to rent a shop or visit the gathering place of Hansui City first. Sun Jiang leaned beside Zheng Yifan and said.

"Let's go to Fortuna Street first."

Zheng Yifan looked at the entire gathering place with great interest, the management of the gathering place is very strict, the refugees here dare not appear outside, and most of the refugees are hiding in the houses.

On the streets, more than a dozen patrolmen carefully searched each room, and when they saw a corpse, they carried it out and threw it into the car behind them.

It was a pickup truck, apparently modified by the Array Mage. Here, the array mages can be said to play to the fullest, but even the most powerful machinery can no longer function.

The utilization rate of the mourning crystals is low, and the range of use is also very small, and a large number of mourning crystals are wasted here, and there are relatively few zombies in the gathering place of Hansui City, but in other gathering places, there are simply as many zombies as a wave, but they do not have a formation mage, and the mourning crystals cannot be consumed at all, so they can only come to the gathering place of Hansui City at a very low price in exchange for food.

They don't have a military background, and they don't have the powerful information of the 12th Division.

All the reserve granaries and military bases in the entire province are recorded in the 12th Division's data, which also caused other gathering places to be taken the lead by them before they could occupy them. By the time the other gathering places wanted to take over this granary, the entire Hansui City gathering place had already moved over.

This also caused the pressure on the gathering place in Hansui City to be relatively small, but the other effects were also obvious, at least there was nothing but food here, and the salt problem was deeply troubled by them.

The vegetables in the few acres of land planted outside are really not enough for the entire gathering place to consume, and vegetable seeds have become a necessity.

They needed too much, but the explorers gained too little, and the entire gathering place was in a state of deformed development.

Zheng Yifan also saw this, first went to Caishen Street to set up a shop, collect mourning crystals here, explore the location of the small gathering place by the way, and then look for the scattered crowd in the Xiaofeng gathering place to see if he could absorb some displaced people to join the hope gathering place.

"This is it! Shop pù Rental Registry. Sun Jiang guided Zheng Yifan to the shop pù rental registration office on Caishen Street.

It's so easy to find here, the most prosperous place in the whole gathering place is here, a pedestrian street thousands of kilometers long, there are many shops, selling everything, but there are very few who can afford to consume.

Zheng Yifan saw the owner of a ramen shop next to him viciously throw a teenage child out of the door and scolded loudly: "If you don't have coins, you can take food, we don't accept the garbage of mourning crystals here, if you go to huàn to exchange huàn funeral crystals, 1 cent each, the real price is clear." ”

The child sat on the ground and wept silently.

"Boy, come here." Zheng Yifan squatted on the ground and beckoned to the child.

The child looked up at Zheng Yifan, wiped his tears, and ran over.

"Big boss, do you want a guide or a buddy? I can do it all, as long as I take care of the food, I don't eat much, just eat one meal a day. The child squeezed out a smile and wiped his cheeks with his sleeve, trying to make himself cleaner.

"I want to trade with you for mourning crystals. Uncle took two packs of instant noodles and exchanged them with you, will you change them? Zheng Yifan took out two packs of convenience, this is not a brand, it is the kind of super mass sales in the market.

It is produced by a small factory, and with Zheng Yifan's customized packaging, there is no label.

The child immediately excitedly handed over his only wealth, the mourning crystal, and then happily took the instant noodles and cherished them in his arms.

"Big boss, do you still need a guide and a buddy? I'm capable. Then he lifted his sleeves and tried hard to show off the muscles in his arms.

But unfortunately, he has no muscles in his body at all, and not only that, but his arms are already slender to see bones. It's like a reed stick.

"Kid, be our guide, I want to find a better shop, you can recommend it to me." Zheng Yifan gently patted the child's shoulder and glanced at Sun Jiang.

Sun Jiang immediately understood, went to the noodle restaurant opposite and bought a bowl of noodles and came back.

He exchanged grain for huàn, half a pound of rice for a bowl of ramen, and the shopkeeper made a hard-earned profit.

"Little friend, this is what our captain invited you to eat." Sun Jiang handed the noodle bowl to the child.

His heart is now almost entangled, never, never thought that he would hand food to others, this year of miserable life has made him give up all the light of hope, every bite of food is desperate, he has killed people, eaten human flesh, and even eaten dead rats raw when he was the hungriest.

He never imagined that giving food to others in this era of cannibalism would make him so satisfied, and the bowl handed out was like handing out a hope.

Looking at Zheng Yifan beside him, he knew that this qiē was all brought by the leader, eaten, dressed, and used, and none of them were not changed by the leader.

"Can I take it?" The child looked at Zheng Yifan with big flickering eyes. He knew that only what Zheng Yifan said counted, and he was the leader of this team.

"Then you can sue me. Why take it away? Zheng Yifan asked.

"My dad hasn't eaten in two days and he needs food." The child's eyes welled up with tears. He had already taken out everything in the house that could be exchanged for food, but his father still hadn't recovered. The whole body is hot, and I have fainted today.

"You can give the food to your father first, and then come and be our guide, and if you do well, I will treat you father and son to a big feast in the evening." Zheng Yifan handed the noodle bowl to the child.

"Thank you, uncle." The child smiled happily, holding the rice bowl in his hand as if holding a hope: "My name is Sun Yang, wait for me for five minutes." ”

Holding the rice bowl, Xiao Sun Yang carefully covered his clothes, even if the soup was spilled on his body, he didn't know it, and his calves walked quickly towards his house.

His home is not far away, and Zheng Yifan can see that this child doesn't have much body left, and his thin body can't support him to go too far.

Looking into the distance, Zheng Yifan could see that his home was in a small wooden house more than 100 meters away, and the door of the house was facing Zheng Yifan's position. The moment he opened the room, Zheng Yifan's eyes flashed cold, and his brows were tightly locked.
