Chapter 279: Enter the Safe Zone

When the staff handed over the three hundred yuan to Shen Bai, he knew what the currency in the security zone was.

"Is this so advanced?"

Looking at the magnetic card handed over by the staff, Zhao Siyi on the side couldn't help but be surprised.

The so-called currency is a card similar to a supermarket shopping card.

"That's right, three hundred yuan has been deposited into the card for you, and there are credit card machines everywhere in the safe zone, so you won't have any problems buying things."

The staff said, taking out a hand-held credit card machine and placing the magnetic card on it.

"Drop!" After a sound, the balance of the magnetic card was displayed on the credit card machine, which was exactly three hundred yuan.

"Thank you."

Shen Bai took the magnetic card and a smile appeared on his face.

It's a lot more convenient to have this thing, at least you don't need to be so conspicuous as running around with a lot of food.

After finding a backpack and packing Xiaohuan's snacks, Shen Bai and his party could finally enter the safe zone.

Walking into the safe area along the entrance of the city gate, Shen Bai suddenly had the illusion of suddenly returning to the pre-apocalyptic world.

The streets are full of people, and there are all kinds of shops on both sides of the road, all of which hang some simple signs indicating the items for sale.

Although most of the people who came and went looked a little yellow and thin, they were all full of energy.

"Looks like this is a really good place."

Looking at this lively scene, Zhao Nina beside Shen Bai couldn't help but sigh.

It had been months since the end of the world erupted, and it was the first time they had seen such a bustling scene.

At this time, a few people saw Shen Bai and the others walking in from outside, and their eyes suddenly lit up, and they rushed forward.

"A few of you are new to the safe zone of the capital, right? Need a guide? Only five pieces are enough. ”

These people all looked dirty, with yellow faces and thin muscles and blank eyes, but the eyes that looked at Shen Bai and the others were full of longing.

Before they could get closer, several soldiers stepped forward first, their tall and muscular bodies making them look away.

"It's you."

Shen Bai pointed to a man who looked relatively clean among the several people, and said lightly.

The best way to get to know a place as quickly as possible is to hire a local guide, not to mention that the price of five yuan is not excessive.

"Thank you. Thank you. ”

The man's eyes showed joy and thanked him again and again, while the others showed unwillingness, but they had no choice but to disperse.

"A few people who have just come to the safe area of the capital may not know much about this place."

The man's gaze swept over Shen Bai and the others, especially when he saw Zhao Nina Alice and the women, he showed a look of surprise, but he didn't dare to look at it, and immediately lowered his head and dutifully performed his work as a guide.

"At present, the security zone is managed and built by the troops originally stationed in the capital, and so far there are about 170,000 people in the entire security zone, and the entire former capital international airport is within the security zone, and even a large area has been expanded outward."

About 170,000 people?

This number really surprised Shen Bai and the others.

Although we have been mentally prepared for the scale of the security zone, 170,000 people is really a rather exaggerated number for the last days.

Shen Bai was besieged by 100,000 corpses when he was at the base before, and the scene of zombies overwhelming is still particularly unforgettable.

He finally understood how the magnificent walls of the safe zone were built.

The enormous productivity generated by more than 100,000 people should not be underestimated. What's more, there are auxiliary work of various construction machinery.

"No, it's more important to find a place for you to live first."

After the man finished speaking, he shook his head and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I don't know how much money a few people have, the accommodation in the safe zone needs to be rented for money, and the price difference is very large according to the quality of the environment." ”

Shen Bai thought for a moment, and then replied, "There are sixteen of us in total, and the budget for accommodation is about one hundred and fifty yuan." ”

"One hundred and fifty dollars?" Hearing this, the man groaned and said, "If you have 150 yuan, you can choose to rent an apartment, a room is 30 square meters in size, and it can accommodate four people, and 16 people just live in four apartments, and the rent of each apartment is 40 yuan a week." ”

"No problem."

Shen Bai nodded.

So, the man took Shen Bai and the others towards the apartment area, and while walking, he continued to introduce various things in the security area.

In the beginning, the security zone of the capital was not so large, with only a mechanized force of tens of thousands of people stationed, but as more and more troops and survivors gathered here, it gradually grew.

"This is the housing trading center, and all the housing rental transactions in the security zone need to be carried out here."

After a while, after walking a distance of about six or seven hundred meters, the man took Shen Bai and the others to a larger building, which was the building of the airport itself, which looked like a ticket office or something, and was now modified into a trading center.

With a guide to follow, it did save a lot of effort, and the rental house was very smooth, and after registering and paying by card, the staff handed Shen Bai four keys.

Then, the guide led Shen Bai and the others to the apartment area, and did not forget to continue to introduce the situation in the safe area on the way.

There are now 170,000 people in the security zone, of which more than 30,000 are stationed troops, and it is precisely because of this number of troops that the defense of the security zone is so solid.

These units are extremely well-equipped, not only with sufficient guns and ammunition, but also with many mechanized units such as tanks, armored vehicles and even helicopter gunships, which have enough firepower to destroy tens of thousands of zombies in a short period of time.

Listening to the guide's introduction, Shen Bai suddenly remembered and asked, "I heard that there is a special security team or something in the security zone, is that also organized by the army?" ”

The guide shook his head slightly, "Although the security zone is in the hands of the military, the military is only responsible for the armed defense of the base and the external enemy, and the security management in the security zone is the responsibility of the council. ”

"Parliament?"

This is another unfamiliar word for Shen Bai.

"Well, the council is the highest administrative body in the security zone, and its members include the military commanders, administrative leaders, and some people who have a lot of power in the security zone, such as the main person in charge and initiator of the construction of the city wall, a well-known real estate developer, and some powerful superpowers."

The guide explained: "The special security team is an official organization formed and initiated by superpowers, and is mainly responsible for assisting the troops in the security management of the security zone, after all, the population of the security zone is so large, and it is too stressful for the military to manage and restrain it......

Shen Bai nodded slightly, but he was quite surprised in his heart.

The existence of superpowers is still special in the safe zone......
