Doomsday Catastrophe

Chapter 334: Their Choices

In a flash of time, it came to autumn, which was the harvest season, but the residents in the middle and lower reaches of Longjian ran out of food. In the summer, a flood caused huge damage, and all the crops were submerged, causing them to plant in the spring. The plants were not harvested, and it was hard to wait until the flood receded, so they could only plant a few fast-maturing crops. However, the famine came quickly regardless of these.

Fortunately, after the defense of Yanjing in the north, most of the zombies in the north have been wiped out. The black land in the three northeastern provinces has exploded with strong production capacity. Not only has the steel industry been revitalized, but also the agriculture has achieved a bumper harvest. Quickly mobilize autumn grain to the south for disaster relief, and quickly alleviate the famine.

Seeing that the famine did not cause any harm, the headquarters also felt relieved. Although the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River failed to produce grain in the second year of the end, the plains of Northeast China and North China produced countless grains. Under the policy, a bumper harvest was obtained, and for a while, the food crisis was lifted in front of the strong productivity of the human side.

However, humans have food to eat, but the animals in the mountains are hungry. After more than a year of rest and recuperation, the animals in the mountains are multiplying rapidly, but there is not much food in the mountains. Arriving, the mountains and plains are full of yellow leaves, and herbivores have nothing to eat. If you don’t go down the mountain, you will be eaten by carnivores sooner or later.

Under such circumstances, from north to south, all the mutated beasts in the mountains descended, aiming at the unharvested crops and began to crazily destroy them. Some people ate people, and no one ate crops. For a while, the damage caused by mutated beasts Everywhere.

Countless people can only hide in the city to avoid being attacked by mutant beasts.

On the other hand, in Yuzhou, the harm caused by mutant beasts has been greatly reduced. The reason is also very simple. Yuzhou allows the emergence of mercenaries, so a large number of people began to hunt and kill mutant beasts. These people ate the meat of mutant beasts. Meat then became an evolutionary, and then sold the corpses of mutant beasts in exchange for food stamps. Immediately, life became much more nourishing.

Yu Muhe led more than 20 people under his command to eat and drink in the braised cooking shop. The mercenary team they formed was the most dazzling existence among all the mercenaries. Regardless of the small number of people, there were more than 20 people , but before that, thirty mutated wild boars were ambushed. These mutated wild boars belonged to a small family. As a result, they fell into a trap when they were going down the mountain, and they were all killed in one go.

"Brothers, eat and drink well. Today's stewed soup is my treat. I managed to kill so many mutated wild boars, and exchanged several thousand catties of food stamps. Wouldn't it be a big loss if I didn't have a good meal? "Yu Muhe stood up and said to the brothers in the shop.

The rest of the people quickly thanked them, and they were so happy to be able to eat stewed food for free.

However, at this moment, someone said: "Boss, why don't you just treat us to some real meat, I'm tired of eating these offal."

Yu Muhe thought for a while, then nodded and said, "That's fine, let's spend a little bit today and get 30 catties of pork, which is considered a blessing."

Meat is the most expensive item in Yuzhou right now. Ten catties of food stamps can be exchanged for one catty of meat. The City Lord’s Mansion is also selling luncheon meat. Two catties of food stamps can be exchanged for one catty of luncheon meat. As for animal offal, one catty Grain can be exchanged for two catties.

Therefore, the barbecue restaurants in Yuzhou have also learned to sell whatever is cheap. If the real meat is too expensive, they will sell offal. Whether it is offal or internal organs, they can be sold as long as they are cleaned.

The owner of the stewed shop is a woman, and quickly brought up the mutton, and said as she brought it: "Brothers are really generous people, these muttons are really not lucky for ordinary people to eat, the meat in Yuzhou is divided For the third class, the people in the City Lord’s Mansion eat real meat, especially in the Fengshen Palace, they can get whatever they want. The rest of the city’s migrant workers basically eat luncheon meat. In fact, it contains at most meat That's 40%, that is, to taste the meat, as for us ordinary people, we can only eat internal organs and offal."

"Miss Boss, you really know how to joke. You have so much meat in your store, how can you still lack meat?" A mercenary said with a smile.

The proprietress smiled and said: "How can I, a weak woman, have the ability to open a stewed restaurant outside the city? This is all in cooperation with others. I can only buy offal and vegetarian dishes. Meat is provided by others. If I sell If you go out, you can get a commission, but you can't afford to eat."

At this time, Yu Muhe suddenly thought of an idea, and quickly waved to the proprietress, and said, "Madam proprietress, otherwise, I will provide you with meat in the future, how about we cooperate?"

The proprietress showed embarrassment, shook her head quickly, and said: "No, no, my family members live in the city, and the person I work with is from the city lord's mansion. I can't offend him, otherwise I won't be able to live in the city. matter, let’s forget it.”

After finishing speaking, the proprietress could not continue to chat, and left soon after serving the dishes.

Yu Mu and the brothers around him were puzzled and asked: "Boss, why should we cooperate if we have nothing to do? If we want to eat meat, we can hunt prey in the wild at any time."

Yu Muhe looked rough, but he was rough and detailed, and explained seriously: "Have you not noticed? When the mercenary union buys our mutant beasts, it always lowers the price. In this case, we might as well Find a way to open a store by yourself, so that our brothers will not have to work hard outside the city, but in the end the money won’t be enough.”

"I think we can give it a try. It's good if we can sell it. If we can't sell it, we can sell it to the guild. Isn't that all right?" Someone beside him echoed.

Yu Muhe nodded, frowned and said, "I'll ask my son when I go back tonight and see what he says."

At this time, another group of people came in from the outside. The Luzhu restaurant looks small, but it can accommodate hundreds of people. Besides the proprietress, there are about a dozen waiters, and it is opened outside the city. The hotel is naturally welcomed by many people.

"Miss Boss, bring fifty catties of offal, ten bottles of white wine, and a little more other vegetarian dishes. We have a lot of people here." The man in the lead looked to be in his thirties, and he was in his prime, but he looked haggard.

"Wei Tong, who are those people over there? I know the larger mercenary regiments in Yuzhou, but I don't seem to have seen these people." Yu Muhe asked the brothers beside him in a low voice.

Wei Tong took out a bunch of mutton in front of him, and replied in a low voice while eating: "This mercenary group is a group of opportunistic people. They went to the south to carry the corpses of zombies on the battlefield, and then pickled them with lime. After they are produced, they are transported to Yuzhou and sold to the trade unions, even though they don’t fight on the battlefield, they still earn a lot of money.”

"Damn it, it can make money. It's really unreasonable. We work so hard to kill mutant beasts, and we put our heads on our belts every day. These people can make money when they go to the south to steal corpses. What's wrong with the world now? It’s really hard to figure it out.” At this time, someone cursed in a low voice, it’s always the best policy to work hard honestly, if you can make money through hard work, then donkey would have been the richest man in the world long ago.

"Don't make trouble, eat your meat skewers, how other people make money has nothing to do with us." Yu Muhe said dissatisfied.

Wei Tongtong said in a low voice while eating the meat: "Actually, this group of people have long been annoying because of their opportunism. I heard that there is a mercenary group that dislikes them and wants to rob them halfway. These people are now in such a low mood. , must have been robbed, this is what they asked for, who made them only know how to opportunistically, and their own strength is very poor, if they don’t rob them, who else will they rob?”

As a mercenary, Wei Tong naturally felt that mercenaries were meant to play a role on the battlefield. As a mercenary, although their combat effectiveness was not as good as that of a professional soldier, and their treatment was completely incomparable, mercenaries always depended on themselves If you are not strong enough, don't be a mercenary. The group of people in front of you is a shame among mercenaries.

After the group of people who just came in sat down, they began to curse and became very emotional.

"What the hell, these people in the south are so shameless that they drove us back."

"That's right. We've been working for three months. As a result, it's really shameless to tell us that we can't take away the corpses of zombies at this time."

"It's all right now, the source of money is cut off, and I don't want to rely on transporting corpses to make money in the future."

A group of people couldn't help but patted the table to vent their anger. It was really unbearable to see their money cut off. As the saying goes, cutting someone's money is like killing their parents. Now that the money is cut off, there is no way to transport zombies in the future. Making profits from corpses is like making these people feel as uncomfortable as their dead parents.

It turned out that when this group of people heard the news that zombie corpses could be exchanged for food stamps, they immediately started to act. They organized a group of people and went to two southern provinces to take away all the corpses on the battlefield. After the lime was pickled and sent to Yuzhou, it was indeed a lot of food stamps, eating meat every meal, and going to the mountain outside the building to have fun every night.

However, after three months, the situation changed immediately. It turned out that the local gangs in the two southern provinces were obstructing. All the corpses of the zombies on the Internet are well preserved, and it is a great thing to do business for Yuzhou alone, and sometimes in exchange for evolutionary bases.

Ever since, Yuzhou went to the southern provinces to find the corpses of zombies, but was threatened by the local gangs and drove them away. In this way, fifty or sixty of them went to the south in vain.

The leading man picked up a bottle of wine and drank it, and then said: "Don't blame others, follow me in the future, and you won't starve. I said a long time ago that this kind of business won't last long. Anyone can do it. We just seized the opportunity, isn't it normal for others to take away the business now?"

The man's name is Qin Xiaogao, and he is the head of the mercenary group. Now that he has spoken out, the people under him can only restrain their resentment a little.

Qin Xiaogao said to his brothers: "The local gangs are so rude, they even drove us away arbitrarily, but it doesn't matter, there is always a way, if you can't sell zombies, then sell fruits, there are many in Yunnan Province fruit, but there are too few that can be sold, so only rich people in Yuzhou can eat fruit, and it is already autumn, whether it is apples, oranges, or even mangoes, they can all be sold.”

The brothers heard the boss say this, and now they understand that it is indeed the case. Fruits are very expensive in Doomsday, and selling fruits is also a very profitable thing.

Immediately, the haze in everyone's mind was swept away, and they all began to discuss the matter of selling fruit. They were all people who were unwilling to go to the battlefield and became mercenaries. At this time, they were also thinking about how to make money easily. For them , doing business is a very good choice.

However, at this moment, a person sneered: "A group of cowardly fellows who dare not go to the battlefield, only know how to opportunistically, be careful of being robbed by others on the road, when the time comes, the bamboo basket will be empty!"

Qin Xiaogao's face became ugly, and he walked over with someone, and asked, "Say it again!"

This is a man sitting in a corner. He is alone, and he has nothing but a long knife by his side. And the clothes on this man were also very tattered, he looked like a beggar who came out of nowhere.

Qin Xiaogao was very angry at this moment, even if someone wanted to accuse him of being greedy for life and afraid of death, it would not be the person in front of him, don't think that he is such a talkative person! There are dozens of brothers under my own hands. With so many people, I don't believe that I will be afraid of a lone wolf.

"Even if I say it again, it will only end in this way. What's the matter, you think I've hit your sore spot, so you want to do something to me?" asked the man who was alone.
