Chapter 105: The Most Precious Resource of the Apocalypse

Seoul City Hall Shelter, entrance security checkpoint.

According to the instructions of the shelter staff, Zheng Xun bypassed the barrier and drove into the underpass.

I had just communicated with Dr. Shu, and Councillor Lu agreed to allow him to enter the shelter with a gun.

Even if Dr. Shu didn't explain what happened behind the scenes, he probably guessed that Dr. Shu would definitely not be able to get this gun permit.

With Dr. Shu's endorsement, and going to Lixiu, I have a more comprehensive understanding of the Jiangnan District Police Station and have seen the police officers' files.

He wore the title of Sheriff Zheng and entered the shelter with a gun, and there were basically no big problems and loopholes.

Driving in the underpass, the passage is lit up with emergency lights, and the visibility is not high.

It winds and spins until it reaches its destination, a vehicle unloading platform.

Zheng Xun parked the van, and the carriage was loaded with a batch of medicines, all of which he had moved from the Seoul hospital, which was regarded as a thank you gift to Dr. Shu.

After all, Dr. Shu tried his best to keep him in the shelter with a gun, and in return, he would also add value to Dr. Shu.

Rare items such as medicines must be urgently needed in shelters.

Sending this batch of medicines was the only way to convince the shelter that listening to Dr. Shu's advice was definitely one of the best decisions they had made.

Zheng Xun did not get out of the car immediately, but observed the situation through the windshield.

Soon, behind the gate above the platform, a group of staff members walked out.

The leader is a woman in professional attire, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.

She strutted over to the door and knocked softly on the privacy window.

The windows are lowered slowly.

"I'm a member of the Seoul City Hall Shelter Council, Roh Yoon-rui."

Parliamentarian Lu? Zheng Xun looked at the other party carefully.

I saw that her cold facial features were delicate and deep, and her blue eyes seemed to have Western blood.

The long legs under the hip skirt are wrapped in thin black silk, dressed as a royal sister in the workplace, and her temperament is capable and exquisite.

The feet that should have been paired with high heels, but stepped on a pair of flat sneakers, and the style was extremely prominent.

She should be the contact person recommended by Dr. Shu and be responsible for managing the affairs of the girls in the shelter.

Zheng Xun confirmed the identity of the docking officer, and then showed his police officer ID and reported to his home.

"Jung Min-yi, Gangnam-gu Police Station, Seoul."

Lu Yunrui nodded, and then motioned to the staff next to him to do things according to the rules.

"Hello Sheriff Zheng, please cooperate with us to do a full body and vehicle security check first, and then register your identity." A young female staff member stepped forward, holding a metal detector and a plastic basin for the belongings.

There were also two male workers on duty in the back, with a vigilant face, guarding the situation around the underpass.

Because it is powered by a generator, only part of the emergency lights are lit, and most of the area is pitch black, as if some unknown horror is hidden.

Zheng Xun pushed the door and got out of the car, opened the rear compartment door, and stuffed four large boxes inside, with a bunch of white boxes.

The staff came closer and began to check the boxes, picking up the boxes and checking them one by one, immediately showing a look of surprise.

"Antibiotics, antipyretics, painkillers, first aid medicines.?"

When I saw the full pill box, I couldn't help but exclaim.

"Oh my God, that's a lot of medicine!"

Lu Yunrui, who was calm and capable, couldn't help but cast her eyes at the carriage and found that it was really full of medicine boxes.

The number of sick people in the shelter is on the rise, and there is an urgent need to replenish all kinds of medicines, and many patients have to survive because of the lack of medicines.

And Sheriff Zheng sent this truckload of medicines, which is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, which greatly relieves the medical pressure of the shelter.

This was completely unexpected.

Originally, she only agreed to let Sheriff Zheng enter the shelter with a gun just to keep Dr. Shu, but she never expected the other party to bring such a big surprise.

Lu Yunrui's eyes were still cold, and she took the initiative to stretch out her hand to express her gratitude.

"Thank you for helping with our shelter medical supplies."

Zheng Xun held the Qianqianyu hand, the skin was greasy and soft, and the hand felt good.

"I was entrusted by Dr. Shu to send it to her."

He didn't need any thanks, he sent the medicine box over, just to support Shu Li.

After Lu Yunrui thanked her, she immediately asked the staff to quickly carry the materials.

From the staff, she took over the metal detector, the plastic basin, and the registration page.

"Please go to the next workshop and do a security check and identity registration."

Zheng Xun nodded, followed the pace of Councillor Lu, walked into the platform shutter gate, and came to a work cubicle.

There was a small light in the compartment, and the light was a little dim.

Lu Yunrui hugged the plastic basin, turned to face Zheng Xun, and said, "Please unload the relevant items and return them after checking and confirming that they are safe." ”

Zheng Xun saw that she looked businesslike and didn't seem to be perfunctory, so he began to unload his equipment, took out his mobile phone, car keys and walkie-talkie in his pocket, and put them all in a plastic basin.

Then he crouched down and rolled up his trouser legs, unfastened the buckle of the short knife, and the electric baton around his waist.

After he finished unloading the scattered equipment and props, Lu Yunrui put down the plastic basin, held the metal detector, and stepped forward to say.

"Open your arms."

Zheng Xun did so.

Lu Yunrui began to do a full-body security scan for him, from top to bottom, while scanning with the detector close to his body, while touching it with his hands.

After checking the collar, sleeves, and chest and back, when I touched my waist, the detector suddenly sounded a ticking sound, and my fingers touched something hard.

The ticking was not loud, but it was enough to get her attention.

Lu Yunrui frowned slightly and stared at his waist.

"Please take off your coat."

Zheng Xun glanced at her suspiciously, it stands to reason that Shu Li should be angry with her, is it really so serious?

He unzipped and took off his coat, which he wore with short sleeves and a set of cassettes for his shoulders.

A bright black pistol with three magazines on display, intact in the gun holster.

Lu Yunrui's pupils shrank suddenly, and when she saw the pistol and magazine full, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She thought that the other party might only be carrying a firearm, and the amount of ammunition would not be too much.

After all, the survival environment in the apocalypse is harsh, and once you encounter terrible zombies, there is a high probability of emptying your ammunition.

But now it seems that the sheriff not only has a gun, but also plenty of ammunition, and the danger is much greater than expected.

She stabilized her mind and helped Zheng Xun put on her coat again and fasten it.

"You brought a gun into the Vault, I agreed to it privately, and it was not discussed and studied by the Vault Council."

"After you do the security check and identity registration, you can enter the shelter to work and live normally."

As if anticipating his doubts, MP Lo continued to explain.

"Dr. Shu personally vouched for it, and if she couldn't invite you into the shelter, she would rather choose to leave."

"The Vault Council will definitely not agree to let a gun-wielding sheriff into the Vault unless you're willing to surrender your guns."

"In order to keep Dr. Shu, I can only make this decision, bypassing the council and secretly letting you into the shelter."

"In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, please keep the matter of firearms strictly confidential."

Zheng Xun immediately understood.

The Councillor Lu in front of him has a lot of hands and eyes, and he wants to eat more with one trick.

Faced with such a tricky matter, she chose a riskier but more rewarding path.

If she wanted to keep Dr. Shu, she had to let Sheriff Zheng come in with a gun.

But the council wouldn't agree, and anyone with a discerning eye knows how much risk this would pose to the Vault.

If she argues and insists on letting Sheriff Zheng in, she will inevitably be squeezed out by the other members of the council.

At that time, before the matter is completed, he will first face the problem of collapse.

She secretly let Sheriff Zheng enter the shelter with a gun, which not only stabilized Dr. Shu, but also obtained a batch of unexpected medical supplies.

The most important thing is that she used this secret to sell Zheng Xun a favor and restrict his freedom to use guns.

It is equivalent to having an extra gun-wielding helper by your side, or an obedient subordinate.

Of course, all these benefits are based on the premise that he will not shoot in the shelter.

Once the gun is fired, not only will she and Dr. Shu be finished, but the shelter may also be finished.

Zheng Xun put on his equipment again and said indifferently.

"I understand."

"In addition to the pistol, I have registered the other equipment for you, and you can fill in the rest of the identity information." Lu Yunrui sent the paper and pen together.

Zheng Xun filled in Zheng Minyi's personal information one by one and returned it to Councilor Lu.

"Okay, there will be a staff member who will take you to the lobby of the main building to report later, and I will send the file to the council for you to keep." Lu Yunrui checked the registration form and turned around to leave.

"Councilor Lu, wishful thinking is a good one." Zheng Xun smiled gently.

“.” Lu Yunrui paused and said bluntly, "This is the only way for you to enter the shelter. ”

Zheng Xun put his hands in his pockets, walked over, slowly approached her back, and lowered his head slightly to sniff the fragrance.

"Well, it's fragrant."

"I want to ask, Councilor Lu, how do you get into your office?"

Lu Yunrui's eyebrows sank slightly, and she said coldly: "Office 506 of the main building, welcome at any time." ”

With that, she stepped out of the work cubicle.

Not long after, the female staff member knocked on the door and came in, quickly bowed and greeted, and asked in a slightly panicked manner.

"Hello Sheriff, if you are done here, I will take you to the lobby of the main building to report."

"Well, let's go." Zheng Xun smiled gently.

When the young girl saw his handsome and kind smile, she couldn't help but bow her head slightly, and her cheeks flushed.

The two walked side by side towards the lobby of the main building.

On the way, the atmosphere was a little silent.

The young girl hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to start the conversation.

"Sheriff, thanks to the medical supplies you sent, there have been quite a few sick people in the quarantine area recently."

"And it's so dangerous outside, it must be very hard and difficult to carry these medicines."

Zheng Xun glanced down at the young girl, it was not beautiful on the side of South Korea, but it was better than the real eyebrows, and there was a feeling of a little girl next door.

"What's your name?"

"Huh? My name is Zeng Minzhu, and I just fled to the shelter five days ago, and I am in charge of personnel pick-up and drop-off."

"Personnel pick-up. Did you receive a girl named Lee Eun-hye yesterday? Zheng Xun asked.

"Lee Eun-hye? Sorry, I don't have any impression, but yesterday it was my turn to go out to collect supplies, but I heard a colleague mention it, saying that there were a few beautiful girls. Zeng Minzhu recalled seriously.

Zheng Xun nodded, thoughtfully, the disobedient squad leader didn't know if he was in it.

If she arrives safely at the shelter, all that remains is to find her and severely punish her.

Zeng Minzhu lowered her head, seemingly a little embarrassed, but still asked.

"Did the sheriff come to the vault to find his girlfriend?" She realized that such a question was too straightforward, and quickly covered it up: "No, I mean, there are often some survivors here, looking for family and friends and so on. ”

"Well, I'm here to find my sister." Zheng Xun's face was as usual.

"Oh, yes." Zeng Minzhu felt relieved, "However, after the personal file information of the members of the shelter is registered, it will be handed over to the council for unified safekeeping, otherwise I can help you take a look." ”

"It's fine." Zheng Xun replied indifferently.

Suddenly, Zeng Minzhu raised his finger and said with a little excitement: "Sheriff, look, there is the reception hall over there, and the new survivors are reporting there." ”

Zheng Xun raised his eyes and saw that there were many people wandering in a spacious hall.

Men, women, and children, either sitting in separate circles, or alone.

Most of them were silent, emaciated, tired, and embarrassed.

The gloomy eyes wandered, as if sitting here could not get rid of the nightmare of zombie chase, and could only barely breathe a sigh of relief.

The staff was bringing them hot tea to try to soothe their nerves.

This is the first time since the end of the world that Zheng Xun has seen so many living people.

The two walked into the hall, Zheng Xun was tall, dressed in a police uniform, and his handsome appearance, and immediately became the focus.

The hall, which was originally a little noisy, is silent at the moment.

The young girl deliberately lowered her voice and whispered.

"Sheriff, please come this way."

She led Zheng Xun to the front desk to receive the information package and make follow-up arrangements.

"Sheriff, the code of conduct for the Vault is in the pamphlet."

"There are some changes of clothes in the bag, although they are all second-hand clothes that have been collected, but we have cleaned them, please don't mind."

"In addition, your accommodation is in the boys' quarters, in the innermost part of the corridor on the third floor, which is a small cubicle."

"Councilor Lu specially asked you to arrange a single room accommodation, we are an office building to accommodation, and the conditions are indeed limited."

Zheng Xun nodded, took the information package, and replied, "It's okay, I'm used to living alone." ”

Immediately afterwards, Zeng Minzhu took another watch and introduced.

"This is the remaining vacant position on the Vault Task Force, and every Vault member needs to choose one."

"At the same time, in order to ensure that the supplies are sufficient and fair, all the shelter members have another task, taking turns to go out to collect supplies."

"Of course, special groups can be dispensed with, such as the elderly, children, pregnant women, and so on."

Zheng Xun looked at the job list of the shelter and remembered that in the supermarket that day, he met Gongmei Zhiyan and two ignorant girls.

The two girls went out to survive and obviously lacked experience, but they were still collecting outside, so it should be their turn to go out to collect supplies.

In the most important part of collecting supplies, men and women are treated equally, and it is not unreasonable for shelters to be established and developed.

For him, collecting supplies is no different from going out to visit relatives.

The most important thing is that what position to choose now can make it more convenient for you to do things.

He probably swept around, and there were many vacancies in demand, almost all of which involved professional fields.

"Collecting team, medical team, rescue team, engineering team"

Zeng Minzhu whispered, "Sergeant, I think you can choose the position of the security team." ”

"How?" Zheng Xun looked at the young girl.

Zeng Minzhu was a little embarrassed, and said shyly: "There are many boys and few girls in the shelter, and those people in the security team can't control some thorns, and we girls are sometimes very difficult." ”

"If the sheriff is here, we won't be afraid of them, and we can ask you for help."

She firmly believes that Zheng Xun, as an upright police sergeant with strong body, will definitely be able to deter those Xiaoxiao.

Zheng Xun's eyes locked on the guards.

The function of the security team is mainly responsible for maintaining order and law in the shelter, and it needs to be patrolled in batches 24 hours a day.

It's just that the girls' area is patrolled by female guards, and it is obviously impossible for him to go there to find Lee Eun-hye.

But joining the security team, the range of activities is obviously larger, and it is obviously more convenient to search for Lee Eun-hye.

And as a sergeant, it makes sense for him to join the security team.

"Then listen to you, I'll choose the security team, please help me register."

Zeng Minzhu showed a bright smile and hurriedly helped Zheng Xun to do the relevant registration.

The process was not complicated, and after the registration was over, Zeng Minzhu enthusiastically sent him to report to the security team.

After everything was arranged, the two walked to the boys' section of the annex building.

has been acting as a guide for newcomers, which gives Zeng Minzhu an inexplicable sense of achievement.

After getting along for half a day, she learned that the new Sheriff Zheng, although he didn't talk much, was tall and big, which made people feel safe.

"Sheriff, go up to the third floor from here, go to the innermost part of the corridor, and you'll be in the rest room, and the key is in your bag." She said reluctantly.

"Well, thank you." Zheng Xun took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and handed it to Zeng Minzhu, "This is for you." ”

"What?" Zeng Minzhu held the small cloth bag in both hands, "Peace? It's a safe blessing bag! ”

She looked up in surprise and looked at Zheng Xun, her eyes flowing with surprise and emotion.

In charge of guiding the survivors, she has met many people these days, but none of them have expressed gratitude like Zheng Xun.

There is only despair in everyone's eyes, but in the eyes of Sheriff Zheng, there is always a gentle sunshine.

"Thank you!" She bowed deeply.

Zheng Xun didn't say anything more, turned and went upstairs, leaving only the young girl standing downstairs, waving goodbye alone.

He made his way to the third floor, rubbing shoulders with some survivors along the way.

Most of them looked haggard and didn't seem to have much strength.

Even if you arrive at the shelter, you will not be able to get enough nutritious food as usual.

But at least don't be afraid that zombies will come out of the dark corners and attack you at any time.

Zheng Xun walked through the long hallway, pulled out the key from the information bag, and opened the door.

There was no light in the room, only a small checkered window, squeezed in a few rays of sunset rays, damp and dim.

In order to save electricity, the generators are currently powered, and only the power supply in important public areas is maintained.

Most of the area is in a state of lack of electricity, and the elevators are all stopped, and only open for a while when supplies are being delivered.

Naturally, the single rooms are also in a state of power outage.

Zheng Xun took out a small flashlight from his bag and turned on the light to illuminate the cubicle.

Four stools with a wooden plank make a bed, and a futon is spread on top of it, which is made of various kinds of clothing.

A horizontal rope was pulled on the roof of the house to hang clothes.

A small cabinet table was placed in the corner of the wall, on which was placed a small glass bottle, and a small yellow flower was bouquet.

Quiet and elegant, the little yellow flower is the only vivid color in the dim room.

The cubicle was so simple that it couldn't even compare to a toilet in the manor where he lived.

Zheng Xun closed the door and tried to sit on the plank, which creaked.

"This is the real apocalyptic survival" Zheng Xun lay on the wooden sleeper, and for the first time he really felt the living environment of the survivors, which can be regarded as an experience of the apocalyptic life.

For now, the town hall shelter can only take care of itself.

Most of the survivors gathered were ordinary people, and with guns in hand, they basically posed no threat to him.

Councilor Lu has some means, but he will weigh it somewhat, and the zombie army scattered around the shelter.

A single gunshot was enough to destroy the entire Vault.

It's nothing to endure a few days of poverty in the shelter, and the most important thing is to find the disobedient squad leader, and this time you have to gag her mouth hard.

This is also the fundamental purpose of his trip.

Now to confirm whether the squad leader has arrived safely at the shelter, the next step is to use the identity of the security team to locate the target.

He had just been to the security team, and he had received a night patrol mission, and after getting acquainted with the room, he could rest for a while, and then he could start the patrol mission.

Zheng Xun looked at the ceiling, alone, for a long night, and had no intention of sleeping.

When it got late, he set off for the office where the main building security team was located.

The monitoring system has been deactivated, so the security team can only rely on foot patrols, and if they can't deal with problems, they can communicate with walkie-talkies.

Zheng Xun received an armband and walkie-talkie in the office of the security team, and after wearing the armband, he began his first patrol.

The place he assigned to patrol was a small square, and in the middle of the night, he would cooperate with other team members to go to the boys' area for night patrol.

He walked to the small municipal square and saw a familiar scene.

The men of the engineering team carried all kinds of wooden planks and steel and strengthened the defense facilities non-stop.

At the same time, there are still many people who are busy sorting out and transporting materials.

The materials collected during the day will be sorted in the small square and then sent to various departments in the main building.

It's busy, but everything is in order.

Zheng Xun turned on the flashlight, wandered around, met a girl in need, and by the way, he took a hand, and gained a shy smiling face.

"It's a pity that there is no squad leader"

Just as he stopped to sigh, a shadow sneaked up and patted him on the shoulder.

"Is it Sheriff Zheng?!"

Zheng Xun looked back and saw that it was the young girl in hot denim shorts.

"It's really Sheriff, you !!" The girl almost lost her voice and exclaimed, and quickly covered her mouth.

She never expected that the sheriff who saved them at that time would really appear in front of her.

In a hurry, he pounced on him and gave him a warm hug.

"Yikes! I didn't expect you to really come, sheriff! ”

The two young steamed buns were a little deformed in Zheng Xun's solid chest.

"Well, are you in charge of moving things?" Zheng Xun pushed away the girl who had no heart and no strength, and asked casually.

The girl nodded heavily and said, "Yes, I'm in charge of sorting the supplies." ”

As she spoke, she noticed Zheng Xun's armband.

"Oh! The sheriff works in the security team, it's amazing! ”

"With you in the shelter, then I don't have a backer?!"

"If Captain Zhiyan knew, he would definitely be very happy!"

"Why, there are still people bullying you here?" Zheng Xun smiled.

The girl in denim shorts, her face collapsed on the spot, pulled Zheng Xun's sleeve, pointed to a middle-aged man in the distance, and said unhappily.

"It's him, who always bothers me, knows how to be lazy every day at work, and looks for opportunities to rub girls' oil everywhere."

Zheng Xun looked in the direction she was pointing and found a middle-aged man with his back combed, carrying a bag of light snacks, swaying around slowly, his eyes wandering over different girls.

It's a thing. Zheng Xun decided to give him some color to see, this land is not something that anyone can idle.

Zheng Xun stepped forward, raised his big hand and slapped him, slapping him to the ground.

"Oh?!" The man was shocked and angry, covering his swollen face and looking at Zheng Xun and the girl in denim shorts standing next to him.

"What did I do wrong, you dare to hit me?!" He couldn't believe it, but when he saw that the other party was tall, wearing a police uniform and a guard armband, he could only bend his voice.

The girl took a step forward, not afraid at all, and said: "It depends on your unhappiness, don't think that you are idle every day, we don't know about rubbing oil around, we will not be afraid of you in the future!" ”

"That's it! It's long overdue to punish you! The girls around them, one after another, gathered around and scolded the men.

"What kind of oil? What's wrong with me being a little lazy?! The middle-aged man defended strongly, "You are bullying!" ”

"It's up to you to be upset, what's wrong?" Sergeant Zheng slowly pulled out his black electric baton.

The middle-aged man covered his hot face, glanced at the baton, and apologized again and again.

"I'm sorry, I don't dare. I don't dare to do it in the future, I must work hard! ”

"Get out of here!" The girl in denim shorts shouted.

The middle-aged man fled on the spot.

Things subsided, and the girl in denim shorts came up to Zheng Xun, raising her head and starry eyes, her eyes full of admiration.

"Sheriff, that's amazing!"

Several girls next to him also chimed in.

"Xiaolan, is this sheriff new here? I was upset to see that person, he looked like a hanger, and he felt that he was very attractive and accosted everywhere, which was disgusting! ”

"Does the sergeant work in the security team? That's great! We don't have to be afraid anymore! ”

"That's it, before, those guards only knew how to deal with the mud and settle things, for fear of clashing with those thorns, but now there is a sheriff to protect everyone, and it is much more reassuring."

The girls were chattering around and making noise.

Zheng Xun looked at the young girls at work, and suddenly realized that under the end of the world, they were the most precious resources.

When the grain is gone, you can plant, and when the fabric is gone, you can weave.

Pretty girls, if you spoil one, you will have one less.

They have the human capacity to work and not only bring laughter and laughter, but also help to explore great scientific experiments.

What's more, there is still a large group of people living here in the shelter.

An even greater scientific project came to his mind.

Zheng Xun was thoughtful, immersed in the lofty career concept, and the walkie-talkie suddenly rang.

"Ask for support, ask for support, there's a group of new survivors, gathering in the lobby of the main building to make trouble!"

No more tonight!

The big chapter update is a bit late!

(End of chapter)
