Chapter 16: Dawn
A blue door of light connects the two worlds, one heaven and one hell. Every time he passed through the blue light gate and arrived at the end of the world, Zheng Yifan would get goosebumps all over his body, and he always had a chilling feeling.
"The last two boxes, finally done." Looking at his basement, it was already full of all kinds of supplies, and there was only a narrow road and a one-meter-square place where the light gate was.
He didn't dare to put too many things in the warehouse, that was a place that he could only use if he had the strength to protect himself in the future, and now a ton of sugar and a ton of salt were temporarily placed entirely because the basement was too small and there was no place to put too many things.
wiped the sweat from his head, walked to his room and waited quietly on the sofa for the arrival of the morning light.
It seems that the day has begun to lighten, and it is the best time of the day. People struggling in the apocalypse, after enjoying the peace of the night, will once again have to pay for today's food.
No one is immune, even the leader of the gathering place, Howling Wind, has to organize counterattacks on villages and towns again and again. Clear more land so that there are more fields that can be cultivated.
"Sir, you're really late." Han Rui was still so gentle and graceful, and a thin veil covered her face, covering her face.
In the room, Xiao Suqin was full of laughter and played with the handheld game console in his hand. It was a product of civilization before the end of the world, and it cost Zheng Yifan a total of 20 mourning crystals. The price is not cheap, but it is nothing to Zheng Yifan.
There is low-voltage electricity for sale in the cluster, and all electricity is provided by solar energy, and the price is 10 dead crystals per month per household.
Living in a gathering place, you need money all the time, and if you don't have income, you can't move an inch.
"No way, I'm a person who always likes to sleep in." Zheng Yifan stretched lazily, and then said: "For more than two weeks, I believe you have become familiar with the entire gathering place, and now you can always be my guide, right?" ”
The scar removal products brought from the real world have begun to take effect, although they only make the scars lighter, but they can still vaguely see Han Rui's former beauty. After a long time, those horrible scars are no longer a deterrent. For a moment, Zheng Yifan looked at Han Rui in a daze.
Obviously, Han Rui is also in a good mood.
"Hey! Sir, you've been staring at me for forty-five seconds, can I think you're in love with me? After more than a week of understanding, Han Rui also knew that Zheng Yifan's personality was very easy-going, and he could usually make a few jokes without scruples.
"Really? That's really my honor, it seems that my staring skills have begun to pay off, and next time I'll go to the inner city to keep an eye on the big old men's confinements. Let's see if they throw themselves into my arms. Zheng Yifan shrugged his shoulders.
"I advise you not to do that, or there will be a whole bunch of women following you." Han Rui seemed to mean something else: "After all, even in the inner city, you can't enjoy this kind of high-quality life." ”
Inside, rows of cans fill the refrigerator and even unsealed ice cream on plastic shelves.
What's even more exaggerated is that they have meat to eat at least five days a week, whether it is chicken, duck or fish, it has never been broken. Such extravagant eating and drinking in this gathering place is nothing short of a miracle.
You must know that the livestock in the breeding center in the gathering place are extremely valuable, and only when they are old, they can't give birth to cubs, and they can't pull the car, will they be slaughtered and sold to the big men in the inner city at a high price.
"Forget it, as long as you orphans and widows are willing to follow me, I'm afraid that others don't look down on me as an ordinary boy at all." Zheng Yifan waved to Xiao Suqin in the house: "Xiao Suqin, I'll kidnap your mother and send you back at night." ”
Xiao Suqin chuckled, stretched out her hand and said, "Let's go away, I still want my mother to find me a father as soon as possible." ”
Then he ran over and slammed the door shut.
"Well, we're two persona non grata." Zheng Yifan smiled bitterly.
Han Rui was already covered with red clouds on his face.
"Let's ...... As you say, you should go to the recruitment hall, where there are mercenaries waiting to be hired, and if you want to recruit permanent members, you can also find them there. Han Rui turned from joy to sorrow when he spoke, and his eyes sparkled. There were a few tears in the corners of his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Zheng Yifan saw that Han Rui seemed to have something to say.
Han Rui said timidly: "My former company's security captain was deceived into going to the gladiatorial arena in order to redeem me. He's still stuck there. He was also deceived by more than a dozen security guards in our company. ”
The voice was small, and she knew that it would take astronomical money to redeem the iron man who had always been loyal to her.
"The Colosseum? Is that the gladiatorial arena where zombies are wrestling? For the cage of those rich beam-jumping clowns performing? Zheng Yifan glanced at Han Rui.
He also knew how much it would cost to redeem a warrior from the gladiatorial arena. The warriors there were slave traders' money detectors.
"How was your former security captain?" Such a fortune is still precious, and you must know whether it is worth it if you spend it.
Han Rui confirmed: "My security captain was hired with a high salary, received the most professional training, and served as a captain in the ace special forces in China, but he was forced to retire because of high-level internal struggles. Later, the security team established by our company has always been the top in China. I promise he'll be useful to you. And has a good experience in fighting zombies. ”
As if in order to win Zheng Yifan's trust more, Han Rui added: "I fought all the way from the location in the city center and was protected by the security team he organized. We had a group of more than 200 people, protected by more than 20 of them, and in the end there were only a dozen or so people. And all non-combat attrition. The entire security team is made up of retired soldiers from their special forces. As long as you get him out, I guarantee that the whole team will be loyal to you. ”
Han Rui's words deeply moved Zheng Yifan.
He is now going to form a team, and what he is most afraid of is the disloyalty of his subordinates. The weapons in their hands did not dare to be distributed to those who had only just known.
But the security captain recommended by Han Rui can be believed within a certain limit. Enough for him to send out those spears.
"I believe you once, let's go to the gladiatorial arena, I seem to be a little impatient to see this person who is so praised by you." Zheng Yifan nodded.
When Han Rui heard Zheng Yifan's voice, tears rained down, hugged Zheng Yifan's shoulder and smacked him fiercely, and then seemed to remember something, and turned around shyly.
Zheng Yifan looked ahead in a daze, covered his mouth and muttered, "My first kiss is just gone?" ”
