Chapter 417: The City That Never Sleeps (16)
They agreed to go straight to the center after getting off work at noon.
Today, there are many people queuing up at the vending machines, and some streets have stopped running because of electrical problems, so everyone can only come to the nearest street to buy, so there are more people.
In order to maintain order, food has begun to limit the number of purchases per person,
"I heard that your husband went to the central area?"
The woman smiled and nodded, "I just went yesterday, and when I left, he said that he would definitely come back to pick me up."
"I really envy you, I heard that the central area is completely different from ours, bright and clean, if you go there, don't forget our friends."
"Of course." The woman raised her head, thinking to herself, who would take care of these people when she went to the central area.
As soon as Su Nanzhi arrived at the garbage disposal station, he was told that he did not need to go to work for the time being because of the electrical circuit problem and the facilities could not be operated, so he would go back and wait for the notice.
"The more the circuit is repaired, the worse it gets, are all those people eating dry food?" My colleague couldn't help but say something.
They are all temporary workers, and if they don't go to work, they don't get paid.
"Uncle Zhang, do you know when you can go to work normally?" Everyone turned their attention to Uncle Zhang.
Uncle Zhang sighed, shook his head, and prepared to go home.
"Nanzhi, try not to go out when you are alone, you can come down to me if you have anything." Uncle Zhang whispered beside Su Nanzhi.
"I'm going to the center." Sunan Zhi whispered, "Go find my friend."
That's right, after her and Xu Luo's analysis, Lu Yu and them are likely to be in the central area.
During the few days she was here, the old man's concern for her made her feel the need to explain.
Uncle Zhang was stunned for two seconds, and then smiled with satisfaction, "It's good to go to the central area."
Su Nanzhi accompanied Uncle Zhang home, reminding them that it was best to strengthen and seal the windows, and deliberately left a box when she left, which contained the synthetic cubes and potatoes she had hoarded.
In the old man's surprised gaze, Su Nanzhi explained, "I can't take these things with me."
After saying that, without waiting for them to refuse, he closed the door and walked away quickly.
There is only so much she can do, even if she gives the pass to Uncle Zhang, the two of them will not be able to enter, and it may not be safe in the central area.
——
Central District Checkpoint.
There is a metal wall separating the two different areas, and there are many people gathered in front of the level, and the scene is extremely noisy.
"We've got a pass, why don't you let us in!" :
Some people held up their passes and tried to go inside, but the people inside did not open the door for them, and when they saw someone successfully entering, the people outside became even more emotional.
"Why can he go in and we can't!?"
"That's right! Why?"
The pass, which was bought at a great price, is now stopped outside for no reason, and of course it is unacceptable to everyone.
The noise outside was too loud, and finally someone stood up to explain that they had been notified last night that they were not allowed to pass except for people in the central area, and it was not okay to hold a pass.
This explanation apparently did not convince the people waiting to enter the central area, and several men shouted for them to be allowed in, and the people around them responded one after another.
For a while, there was a lot of noise, arguments, and the crying of children.
If it weren't for the fact that the checkpoint was strong enough and electrified, the people outside would have rushed in a long time ago.
Su Nanzhi, who struggled to squeeze out, gasped for breath and couldn't speak, the current situation is completely a true portrayal of the apocalyptic escape.
