The car stopped near the base, and each of the three people got out of the car and walked over with a backpack on their backs.

Base b was built very high and tightly, and it was said that there were four exits. Li Gengrong felt uncomfortable looking at the heavily guarded exit in front of him.

There were many people queuing up to get in, and two of the guards were responsible for checking whether there was enough food in front of the scale before letting people take it for a physical examination.

Nine out of ten people in line were not allowed to enter. Those who were not allowed to pass squatted not far from the exit. Over time, a refugee zone was formed.

The three of them, Li Gengrong, couldn't fit even half a person in with the little food they carried, so they walked directly to the refugee area without queuing.

There are a lot of people in the refugee area, and there is everyone. Most of the families, young lovers, and friends in twos and threes are here, and there are very few people alone.

Most people here sit down to reduce physical exertion, some are sneaky and want to steal things, and many are hooking up with others. Selling one's body is a normal thing in the last days.

Maybe they looked too rich, and not long after the three of them sat down, someone came to seduce them.

"Do you want to have some fun?" A woman wearing perfume put herself between Li Gengrong and Pei Zhuangzhou and asked in a sweet voice, holding one in her arms.

Li Gengrong shook his head to get away from her, but Pei Zhuangzhou took the initiative to put his arms around the woman's waist. He opened his mouth and said, "A handsome guy like me needs four packs of instant noodles for one time."

The woman pushed him away as if she saw something unlucky. She thought it was some big business owner, but she didn't expect it was a colleague.

The three of them watched the woman twist her waist and walk away angrily, and then found an open space to sit down.

Now there is a family of three on their left and a few old men on their right. It seems that the risk is relatively low.

Because they were traveling lightly, the three of them really had nothing. They spread a light plastic tablecloth on the ground, picked up rocks at the four corners to hold them down, and used their backpacks as pillows. The three of them just lay down straight.

Do as the Romans do, that's what everyone else does, and you are no exception.

"Are you going to lie like this next?" Li Gengrong asked.

Wang Yu looked around and felt helpless, "Let's check the situation first. We can't get in now."

"Sleep, sleep, don't be impatient." Pei Zhuangzhou said, "I'll guard you."

It was around five o'clock in the afternoon. The three of them got up and ate instant noodles, making the child of the family next to them cry.

At this time, there is very little food in the city, and ordinary people's lives have become very casual. As long as they find something edible, they can just throw it into the pot and cook it.

Moreover, cities are not like rural areas. Most of the plants in cities are ornamental and very few are edible. Even if there are edible plants, urbanites don’t recognize them.

Like Li Gengrong, if he hadn't been forced by the last few years of the apocalypse, he wouldn't know what weeds he could and couldn't eat.

I don't know if it was due to the environment, but Li Gengrong saw the child watching him eating and speeded up, fearing that someone would rob him.

"Why are you eating so fast?" Pei Zhuangzhou didn't like eating instant noodles like this, so he ate slowly. "Are you hungry? Why don't you share it?"

Li Gengrong shook his head quickly, leaned into his ear and said, "Eat quickly, or you will be robbed later."

"I'm afraid of nothing." Pei Zhuangzhou couldn't swallow after two mouthfuls, and drank a few more water, which really made the kid next door cry.

Li Gengrong held the bag and stuffed the remaining half pack of instant noodles into the bag. Wang Yu also worked outside and ate quickly, leaving Pei Zhuangzhou there to grind and chirp.

Not long after, they attracted a few people, who seemed to be gangsters from the refugee area. They were all shirtless and only wearing a pair of pants because of the hot weather.

"Are you the new refugees arriving today?" the strong man at the head asked, puffing out his chest as if showing off his abdominal muscles.

Li Gengrong counted and found that there were more than a dozen of these people, all of them young men. Taking away all their belongings would not be enough.

"What are you doing?" Pei Zhuangzhou frowned and kept chewing instant noodles after asking.

Not to mention those who came to rob, Li Gengrong wanted to slap him just looking at him.

The leading man was not very interested in the instant noodles, but many young people behind him were so greedy that their eyes were glowing green.

"Newly arrived refugees need to pay protection fees and two packs of instant noodles per person." The leading man raised the stick in his hand and put it on his neck. "Are you going to take it out yourself, or should we get it ourselves?"

Pei Zhuangzhou sneered and wanted to say a few words.

But Wang Yu was not so friendly. He took out a pistol from his arms, pressed the safety catch, and pointed at those people. He moved smoothly and said with a bad expression, "We three brothers and sisters still need a lot of food to enter the base. What do you think?" Are you all going to be filial to us?"

Several of the young men raised their hands subconsciously, and the leading man also froze and took a few steps back.

"We are all people who have survived the apocalypse. Everyone has some skills. We are not good friends. You can leave." Pei Zhuangzhou advised kindly, not wanting to be too conspicuous here.

The leading man withdrew with his men, looking back at them on the way.

Li Gengrong did not dare to say a word during the whole process, but he could see the expressions of the people around him.

The man must have been called by the father of the child next door. At first, the man waited proudly and wanted to get a share of the pie. Later, when he saw the gun, he took the child and hid in the crowd.

The old man on the other side was surprised, but they were all used to it. At this point in their lives, they couldn't see anything, and they didn't move much, as if they were in stagnant water.

In the apocalyptic living environment, it is difficult for adults to survive, let alone children and the elderly.

If there are people who will sympathize with those children in the apocalypse, then almost no one will sympathize with the elderly. Most of the time, there is no psychological burden even if they are left behind.

For those who are more ruthless, there is no psychological burden for leaving anyone behind. The husband and wife both fly away, let alone strangers. Who cares who you are when you run away.

"With a body like this, what can't so many laborers do? They will open up wasteland and look for supplies. They will definitely starve to death." Pei Zhuangzhou said in a matter-of-fact tone.

Wang Yu also nodded, showing great disdain for their actions.

"It can't be done." Li Gengrong could understand the thoughts of Pei Zhuangzhou and Wang Yu, but he was more aware of the situation of those people. "They seem to be in a group, but in fact they only get together for convenience. If someone goes to the city to find supplies, Then others will go and empty out your house first.”

"If you want to farm, there are so many refugees here, and it's impossible for every refugee to get a share, so the vegetables are forcibly picked and eaten before they are ripe."

"People can't leave, and land reclamation can't be done. This is a refugee zone." Li Gengrong said calmly, "If the base doesn't intervene, they will only have this way of survival for the rest of their lives. This is not a personal issue, it is an environmental issue."

The two of them stopped talking for a moment.

After a while, Wang Yu frowned and sighed, "It seems that W base is actually quite humane. I have stayed in the relief room before. Although it is a relief room, there will be soldiers guarding it to prevent people from stealing things. The base also encourages everyone to go there. Open up wasteland for planting.”

"There are too many people in Base B. They have their own living environment and problems, and they can no longer care about so many people." Li Gengrong touched his nails and said.

Pei Zhuangzhou didn't pay attention to these points, but asked, "Brother Rong, how do you know? Aren't you always with Yang Kailin in the apocalypse?"

"...Have you never eaten pork or seen pigs running?" Li Gengrong said.

Pei Zhuangzhou looked at him with a very puzzled look, "I didn't expect that Brother Rong, you are a well-read person."

No, not really.

Li Gengrong was speechless.

That night, the three of them took turns to keep watch. First, Pei Zhuangzhou kept watch from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m., and then Li Gengrong was asked to get up in the middle of the night.

It was very dark outside the base. Everyone was asleep, lying on the ground like dead bodies. In front of them were some trees and uninhabited buildings in the distance, which looked like a place haunted by ghosts in the night.

In fact, ghosts may appear, after all, zombies are like ghosts.

It is inevitable for a person to feel sleepy when watching alone, especially when many people are snoring nearby. The constant snoring makes Li Gengrong feel that he is very safe now.

Unable to bear the sleepiness, his head nodded several times in the air, which stunned Li Gengrong.

"rustling"

There's someone in the woods!

Li Gengrong was so frightened that he woke up and immediately opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Rustling!"

I saw a figure quickly emerging from the woods, and then running towards them.

"!!" Li Gengrong subconsciously wanted to scream, but the man covered his mouth for a long time.

"Don't scream, it's me. I have something to ask you." The man's voice was unfamiliar, but he seemed to have heard it somewhere before, "I'll let you go, don't scream."

Li Gengrong nodded.

The man let go of his hand, it was the gangster leader this afternoon, now staring at them with bright eyes.

"...You, you, you, what are you going to do?" Li Gengrong backed away in fear.

The man pointed at Pei Zhuangzhou and Wang Yu who were still asleep, "Wake them up and I'll make a deal with you."

Li Gengrong looked at him inexplicably and pushed Pei Zhuangzhou and Wang Yu to wake up.

"...Is it time for me to keep vigil?" Wang Yu asked confusedly as she got up.

Li Gengrong shook his head, "No, there is a situation."

Upon hearing this, the two people who were still confused immediately woke up and asked, "What's going on?"

Li Gengrong pointed to the man standing in front of them, "He said he wanted to see us if he had something to do."

Pei Zhuangzhou frowned and looked at the gangster, "Are you reliable?"

"..." Wang Yu's expression directly indicated that she didn't believe this person.

The man was already an old man and didn't care about their opinions and thoughts. He knelt down and said, "Don't you want to go in? Come with me. This is not the place to talk."

After saying that, the man left alone. The three of them looked at each other, picked up their bags and followed.

The man stopped in front of an empty building behind the woods, then looked around to make sure no one looked back at them.

"Do you have a way to get in?" Wang Yu asked straight to the point.

The man nodded, "I know how to get in. I can take you in, but I don't care about what happens after you get in."

Li Gengrong thought that such a good thing could happen?

"Really? Why are you still in the refugee area if you are so powerful?" Pei Zhuangzhou didn't believe it.

The man laughed self-deprecatingly, "You ran out because you couldn't survive in there."

"..." Wang Yu took a deep breath. No matter what, she had to verify whether what this man said was true, "What do you want?"
