Apocalypse Shuttle Journey
Chapter 679 Earthquake Chapter 43
Lu Wei pursed his lips, and one could see that his mouth was dry and flaky.
Although Lu Wei really didn't want to speak, he still said to Li Xuan: "Whether it's true or not, that's where humans gather. We should go and take a look."
Li Xuan also knew this. Although they found their relatives' home and settled down there, the food and water would run out one day.
As the food and water sources nearby became increasingly scarce, they had to find other ways.
Who would have thought that in the process of searching for food and water, I would learn from others that there was a food exchange device in Shouxing County No. 1 Middle School.
Although everyone is skeptical and unbelieving when they hear about things like food exchange devices.
But what they said was so incredible.
Moreover, those who claim to live in the No. 1 Middle School do look very different from their mental outlook.
You have to know that in today's environment, most people have become numb. They are not as vibrant as those people. That's right, they are full of vitality.
Some people couldn't resist the temptation and set off immediately, while others remained on the sidelines.
Who knows if those people are scammers? They are not. I have never heard of anyone daring to eat human beings.
But it's normal when you think about it. When food is getting less and less, if you want to save your life, there is nothing you can't eat.
Those who stayed behind are also waiting for those who set out to come back. Perhaps everyone still has expectations in their hearts.
As expected, some of those who left came back, while some did not.
From the people who came back, everyone learned that there was indeed a food exchange device in the No. 1 Middle School.
Everyone was shocked by the news brought back and stood there in a daze, not reacting for a long time.
After reacting, everyone naturally prepared to set off.
After receiving this news, Li Xuan's family also wanted to go to the No. 1 Middle School to find out what was going on.
Since everyone had the same destination, when they arrived near the school, they gathered on a street.
Sure enough, as soon as everyone walked near the school, they heard the noise coming from inside the school, it was so lively.
Everyone couldn't help but quicken their pace, and after running a few steps, they ran into the school.
The scene inside the school was refreshing to everyone. It was visible to the naked eye that there were really a lot of people inside.
At first glance, all you see are people.
There were so many people, so it seemed very crowded inside.
But as soon as Li Xuan and others came in here, they looked around. They really wanted to know what the food exchange device looked like.
It wasn't just Li Xuan and the others who wanted to see the true face of the food exchange device. Others did too.
As everyone rolled their eyes, someone in the No. 1 Middle School kindly said to Li Xuan and the others, "The food exchange device has already appeared today. If you want to see it, you have to wait until tomorrow."
He had seen this kind of look countless times, and he could guarantee that if these people failed to find the food exchange device, he would definitely ask them.
So they might as well tell them in advance.
After hearing this, Li Xuan and others said that they were not disappointed, but that was a lie. This was the reason why they decided to come here in the first place.
After knowing that the food exchange device would not appear today, Li Xuan, Lu Wei and others had no choice but to go inside with their families.
I thought, since I’m here now, I must see with my own eyes what the situation is here.
As Li Xuan and others walked inside, they could see the market that everyone had spontaneously established not far away.
Because the food exchange device only appears for a limited time, this gives them the opportunity to trade privately.
All kinds of food were placed in front of them, waiting to be traded or bartered.
Li Xuan and others were drooling at the sight, and even their dry mouths became moist at this moment.
At this time, you can see several people rushing out of the crowd and pounce on the food.
After seeing this scene, Li Xuan and Lu Wei couldn't help but look at each other before they suppressed their inner throbbing.
Only then did he notice that the people around him were looking at those people indifferently, and some of them even had expressions as if they were enjoying a good show.
Li Xuan and Lu Wei knew that something was wrong, but they didn't know the people who rushed out, let alone how to stop them.
Besides, there is no need for them to do that.
As those people stretched out their hands to grab the food, someone took a stick and hit their wrists hard.
It immediately caused a shrill roar.
After being attacked, those men retracted their greedy eyes that were staring at the food.
When they all looked up to see who hit them, a man slowly walked towards them from a distance.
As he walked, he muttered impatiently: "Can these idiots who don't need to think with their brains please not appear in front of me!"
After approaching these people, several people holding sticks tactfully made way to allow this person to pass.
As this man walked up to the people who were holding their wrists and crying in pain, he sighed, raised his head and said directly: "I say, can't you use your brains to think about it? Why can they openly set up stalls? Why are they not afraid of being robbed?
Because someone is protecting us! Someone is maintaining order!"
Obviously, these words were not just directed at those few people who kept screaming in pain, but were directed at all the people who had just arrived at the school!
After hearing this and seeing what happened to those people, Li Xuan and Lu Wei were glad that they had restrained themselves from following them out to grab food.
Someone immediately praised him and said, "Brother Liu, what you said is so reasonable. God knows we are going crazy dealing with these people."
Brother Liu pushed the man away, looked around the crowd, and said to everyone: "Since you are new here, I won't punish you too much, but you must remember that there is order here!"
Then Brother Liu lowered his eyes and looked at the people who covered their wrists. After pinching his brows, he said with a look of disgust: "It's really a headache."
After saying this, Brother Liu left without looking back.
The remaining brothers swung their sticks and said arrogantly, "Where are the families and friends of these guys? Why don't you take them away?"
As soon as he finished speaking, several people walked out of the crowd and looked at the man holding the stick with fear on their faces, fearing that the stick would fall on them.
In fact, they were overthinking it. Until they got their families away, no one else took any action, but just staggered away.
After this incident, people who had just arrived at the school were as quiet as chickens.
After talking to the people around them, including Li Xuan and Lu Wei, they realized that this market, which was spontaneously formed by everyone, was jointly guarded by several teams in the school.
In this open-air market, anyone doing business needs to pay rent to them.
After paying the rent, the team will protect the safety of the seller and buyer, just like what happened just now.
As everyone knows, after the development of the school, there are three strong teams, namely the Hope Team, led by Zhang Hong.
The Spark Team, the leader is Gu Xinghe.
There is also Brother Liu, who is in the Unity Team, but the leader is not this guy called Brother Liu.
Brother Liu is just an ordinary member of the Unity Team. The leader of the Unity Team is called Fang He.
Li Xuan and others who had just arrived at the school now had a preliminary explanation of the situation in the school.
When everyone knew that there was a person in the school who one should not offend, everyone started asking who it was?
Even more powerful than the bosses of several teams?
So when Li Xuan and Lu Wei heard that the person they should not offend the most was Jiang Meng, they thought there was something wrong with their ears.
After someone repeated the name, Li Xuan and Lu Wei thought it was a homonym, or that the names just sounded the same.
Only Lu Jiang asked curiously, "Are they talking about Sister Jiang Meng?"
Lu Hui, who was standing aside, was also waiting for the answer.
After Lu Jiang asked the question, the eyes of the people nearby all turned to Li Xuan.
This made Li Xuan and Lu Wei a little overwhelmed.
The person who said Jiang Meng's name looked at Li Xuan's family with a somewhat curious look, and then slowly said, "It's not impossible. It's said that Jiang Meng came from Shuidu Village. There are many Shuidu Village villagers here now."
So there are quite a few people who know Jiang Meng, but it does not mean that Li Xuan's family is very familiar with Jiang Meng.
The people who were investigating Li Xuan's family then withdrew their gazes.
After Lu Jiang and Lu Hui got the answer, they were about to scream out in surprise, but were finally stopped by Li Xuan and Lu Wei who were quick-eyed and quick-handed.
Li Xuan and Lu Wei covered Lu Jiang and Lu Hui's mouths respectively.
This left Lu Jiang and Lu Hui unable to speak except stammering.
Even after getting defiant looks from Lu Jiang and Lu Hui, Li Xuan and Lu Wei had no intention of letting go.
But I still got the look from other people as they looked at this strange creature.
After knowing the general situation of the school, everyone dispersed. As it was getting late, everyone naturally had to choose a way out.
Everyone knows that to survive here, the first choice is to join the team.
But you can't join just because you want to. It is said that the requirements to join the team are quite high.
The first thing is your health. It can’t be in such bad condition. Otherwise, it’s not you who is working hard for the team, but the team that is working hard for you.
Secondly, most women and children cannot join the team.
Basically, after the men in the family join the team, the women and children are taken care of as family members.
Finally, there are the elderly, who have absolutely no chance of joining the team.
Moreover, even if you are a healthy adult male, if there are many elderly people in his family, these teams will not welcome you into the team.
You should know that being old does not only mean that you are old and weak, but also means that you have many illnesses.
You have to know that medicines nowadays are very expensive. If you are sick, you can't get better by taking one or two pills.
Needless to say, the consumption is huge. Although the food exchange device can be exchanged for medicines, who is willing to let outsiders use it?
So we eliminated this possibility from the very beginning.
If you don't join a team, you can only rely on yourself and live on your own.
So when Lu Wei heard this information, he knew that he also had many elderly people in his family, so naturally there was no possibility for him to join the team.
Lu Qiu, who was beside him, was also very conflicted in his heart and on his face, but it was all for his son.
Lu Qiu had no choice but to say to Lu Wei, "We are the ones who are holding you back, so you should learn from others and give up on us.
You can bring your daughter-in-law, grandsons, and granddaughters to join the team."
As Lu Qiu finished saying this, the sweat on his body had soaked his clothes. It was obvious that it was not easy for Lu Qiu to say such words.
What Lu Qiu said was the news that everyone had heard from those people, and it had been spread everywhere, which meant that there were really people who did this.
This is a borderline approach.
Not only that, everyone also knows that there are people who are trying to get away with it.
When joining the team, he lied and claimed that he had no elderly people in order to get away with it.
But after joining the team, he took care of his family privately.
Of course, if those people used the supplies distributed by the team to take care of their families, everyone would turn a blind eye.
But most people have insatiable desires and become more and more daring.
When some people stole the team's supplies and were discovered, they were not only kicked out of the team, but also severely punished.
For such reasons, being taught a lesson is obviously not worth the cost. In the absence of medical treatment, it is naturally adding insult to injury for such a family.
So from then on, several teams set a hard rule not to recruit young people with many elderly people in their families.
Before, it was just a rule under the table, but now it has been brought to the table.
But it doesn’t matter, there are always people who skirt the rules.
However, if there is no theft of the team's supplies, the team will not do anything to these people who play tricks.
After all, those are the people who are willing to use their own resources to support their families, so just use them for one day at a time.
Besides, this place is so big that it would be easy for liars to be exposed.
What these people don't know is that all of them lied to join the squad.
It is a place where the team stores supplies and can never be approached.
But Lu Qiu had no intention of shutting up. He turned to Han Qin and his in-laws and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't consider your opinion."
Han Qin knew what her old man was thinking, so she shook her head and said nothing, and the same went for her in-laws beside her.
Lu Wei denied it and said to Lu Qiu: "I won't do that. If I do that, who would I be?"
