Chapter 18: The Inner City
Compared to the outer city, the inner city is much more lively.
It's very weird, the city is much smaller than the wilderness, whether it is Qingxian or other cities.
Looking at the Internet, the capital and the magic capital are almost only one or two abysses.
The less damage there is, the larger the natural population.
Especially at the beginning of the disaster, people who ran to the city did not go to the outer city even if they were working on the streets.
Not to mention that living in the inner city is a status symbol now, and naturally no one wants to move out.
That's the advantage of being the first to come.
It was impossible for those who migrated later to enter the inner city and lay under the bridge.
The patrol force is not a dry meal.
For this, the Xuncheng army is quite strict, and there is no favor to talk about, unless you live in your house.
Now that the house is basically full of relatives, who would dare to bring someone to the house?
What's more, if you don't know your temperament, no one dares to do this.
There is no way, if it is not strictly enforced, I am afraid that there are not enough places in the inner city to live.
Originally, the entire county seat of Qingxian was only a small county of 70,000 or 80,000 people, and now there are almost no less than 300,000 people, not including the 400,000 people in the outer city.
A remote mountain town with a population of nearly one million.
It's scary to think about.
Fortunately, there is no formalities required for the outer city to enter the inner city, as long as you don't get caught by the patrol troops at night, there is no problem, otherwise it is difficult to say whether you can come back alive after a month of hard work.
Now that there are no cars, the natural roads have become markets.
Every door is open.
Now the things sold in the front are different from before the disaster, and now they are basically food or some small daily necessities, and there are occasional shops that sell clothes, but these clothes are mainly jeans and camouflage clothes.
Those gorgeous clothing stores, I'm afraid only the rich and the awakened will go to them.
There are many pedestrians on the street, but most of them are old and weak, women and children, and adults usually go to work.
To build a fortress and clear the farmland, it takes coolies.
In both the inner and outer cities, if you want to eat, you have to work.
Unless you have enough food to eat.
As for the money?
Now there is only one use of RMB, in exchange for grain with the government, it is still 100 yuan a catty, and ordinary people do not accept RMB at all.
That is, the country is powerful, and how many countries' currencies have become waste paper.
But even so, the grain purchased by RMB is also restricted, and it can only guarantee that it will not starve to death.
If you want to be fed, you have to work.
Now garment factories and military factories are recruiting.
Men worked outside the city as coolies, and women worked inside the city.
The stalls are almost all elderly, and they sell small handmade products.
This is how ordinary people live after a disaster.
Zhou Shan did not stop here, and walked directly to the old comprehensive market.
Qingxian comprehensive market has existed for more than ten years, is the only market in this poor city of Qingxian, after the drastic changes of the world, this market has not been abandoned, but has become the largest trading place in Qingxian.
And the things sold here are different from the street stalls.
Vegetables and the flesh of ferocious beasts, all kinds of mechanical tools, knives, and even guns are also sold.
The headquarters of Liemeng is right next to the market.
The military camp was also stationed not far from the market.
The main place here is big enough.
The county seat is very small, with three main roads and four main streets, constituting the entire county seat of Qingxian County.
After rounding the two main streets, there were gradually more people.
Compared to other places, most of the people who come and go here are young and middle-aged.
And almost everyone has a weapon on them.
Don knives, machetes, rifles, spears, bows and arrows, crossbow arrows and much more.
These people were covered in blood and full of anger, and they walked in a hurry, and even some cars came in and out from time to time.
The car was even more bloody.
Almost all of them were dressed in camouflage uniforms, and even convoys full of military personnel were coming in and out from time to time.
There is no doubt that the people who are here are soldiers and awakened people, except for some staff.
Even those who awaken from time to time are also existences who dare to go out and work hard.
Ordinary people can get a few guns, and some beasts and weak beasts can also get it.
As long as it's not too far from the city, it's not dangerous.
After all, now not only humans are afraid of fierce beasts and beasts, but those fierce beasts and beasts also have no fear of it, and the cannon completely suppresses some fierce beasts.
"Come and see, fresh bloodthirsty rat meat....... Sold for ...... cheap"
"Fresh chicken, just give it and sell it........"
"A steel knife made of spring steel, extremely sharp, and a cheap ......"
"Fruits, fruits, freshly picked fruits in the wilderness are sold!!"
........................
As soon as I walked into the market, the cries of selling came out.
There are several large new houses on the market, which were not available before........ He came to this market three months ago, and he used to buy goods from this market.
Naturally, I have a deep understanding of this market.
Military acquisition station!
The name on the plaque of one of the large houses.
Cars were parked in front of the shops, talking and laughing as they carried carcasses of animals and bags of grain.
These corpses are basically fierce beasts.
The grain is also mutated food that has been snatched from the wilderness.
The purchase price of the national team's mutant food is also very high, so naturally there are people who specialize in this business.
And only ferocious beasts and mutant food are collected here.
It can be said that this is an official acquisition station, and there is another acquisition station not far away, the name of which is Shangmeng Acquisition Station.
Zhou Shan also didn't expect that the Shangmeng had just announced its formation, and the acquisition station of the Shangmeng had already appeared here.
Without him!
It must have been premeditated, and now it's just a change of plaque.
It is this private acquisition station that Zhou Shan is going to.
In a hidden place, Zhou Shan instantly had an extra bag in his hand.
He had about a hundred pounds of giant wild boar in his hands.
"Boss, what are you selling?"
As soon as Zhou Shan entered, a girl in her twenties greeted him.
"Call your boss over, there is a business to talk to your boss!" Zhou Shan nodded to the girl and said.
O beasts of the lowest third order!
The waiters here obviously can't call the shots.
The level of the fierce beast, Zhou Shan has already understood, and the one who has just mutated is considered a first-order fierce beast.
Among the mutant beasts, the most powerful ones are second-order beasts.
This is much more powerful than the average just mutation.
The difference can only be observed with the naked eye.
If you see a lot, you can see the difference at a glance.
As for the beasts above the second order, they need a special instrument to detect them.
This kind of instrument is a national testing instrument modified, and the state has announced internally how to modify it.
Other organizations can buy directly from the state for a certain amount of money.
In China, no organization's scientific research strength can compare with the state.
This is essentially different from State M.
The scientific research strength of country M is in the hands of individuals, while China is all in the hands of the state.
In such times, scientific research plays a very important role.
When the waiter heard Zhou Shan's words, he looked Zhou Shan up and down, pondered for a moment, and then ran towards the inner room.
After a while, the little girl followed behind a middle-aged man with a big belly.
"This little brother, contemptible Wang Cheng, the owner of this store, I don't know what business to discuss?" said the middle-aged man with a smile on his face.
His shop only accepts the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts, and the people who can come to his shop are either outlaws or awakened.
Either way, it wasn't something he wanted to offend.
Naturally, it is very polite to speak.
After Zhou Shan heard this name, he was also slightly stunned.
Wang Cheng!
The richest man in Qingxian County!
Half of the factories in the entire Qingxian County are his.
Even the people named this Wang Cheng 'Wang Bancheng'.
Qingxian is such a backward county, and the business alliance has not let it go, and this business alliance has definitely been planning for a long time.
Qingxian County has a business alliance, and other places may also have .......
What a strong strength!
Terror!
Zhou Shan also had to take a deep breath.
"Look at this!" Zhou Shan said as he lifted the bag and put it in front of Wang Cheng.
Don't look at it, Wang Chengcheng knows that it is flesh and blood.
This made him a little annoyed in his heart, this bit of flesh and blood is only a few dozen catties, where does he need to deal with it?
It's like a guy taking a box of apples and going to a billionaire to do business and sell that box of apples.
It's just that it's different now.
It is no longer possible to have money, at least not now, force is the foundation of everything.
What's more, the business alliance has just started to run, and it must do everything to survive in this world.
Therefore, the bag can only be opened with a smile on his face.
"Huh?"
When he opened the bag, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
This flesh and blood is not ordinary!
There was a lot of flesh and blood of the fierce beast that passed through his hands, so he could naturally see the difference in this piece of flesh and blood.
Especially when he lifted the bag on the ground with his hand and didn't lift it, he was even more sure that this piece of flesh and blood was not ordinary.
