Apocalypse World Reboot

Time flies by quickly, and within a few days after Xu Xian and others returned to the base, it was New Year's Eve.The base in the cold winter is even less popular, and it is silent from top to bottom.

At this time, it is impossible to build a house. Many people can only squeeze in residential areas to make do. Some people even have no clothes to keep out the cold, and there is not enough food. Not a few people died of freezing and starving.

Xu Jin and the others found jobs at the base, and occasionally even Xu Xian would follow them out to do tasks. In addition to some material collection tasks in nearby areas, there were also some scattered jobs in the base.Not only to earn contribution points, but more importantly, to gather information and connect with previous relationships.As long as you are in the society, you will inevitably have to deal with all kinds of people.

During the time he came back, Xu Jin also learned a lot about the internal affairs of the base. Not only did the upper-level forces reshuffle the cards, but even many people who had been in the gray area before took the opportunity to take the opportunity. become more cloudy.

Xu Xian would occasionally go out with Xu Ye's army to do missions, but the missions in the base were not accepted.Xu Xian doesn't like to do these jobs, no matter what his identity is there, and he really cares about face, he always feels that it's easy to laugh at patrols and so on.In addition, there must be no one in the villa, so the six people simply found jobs for two positions, that is, patrolling the streets, and immediately reported to their superiors if they found any abnormalities.

The work is not tiring, but it is a bit dangerous, because you don't know when zombies will come out of any corner.The job requirements are relatively broad, and it is not tiring for several people to take turns on duty.But there is nothing but three hundred contribution points every month.

Although they don't care about this, such stingy and stingy treatment obviously has no future for ordinary people.Looking at the bag of cornbread that Xiao Wu brought back, Xu Xian felt a little helpless.

He has eaten this food before, the taste is really not very good, but the shelf life is very long, it is good to fill the stomach, who cares about so much.Two or three years after the end of the world, the base's resources were basically exhausted.With the endless internal strife, many upper-class figures disappeared quietly.People are selfish, not to mention those who play tricks. For them, the lower class civilians are just tools that can be replaced by numbers.Even now, the residential areas in the outer city have basically become slums, not to mention selling children and girls, and there is absolutely no food for three meals.

Besides Xu Jin, apart from occasionally doing some work, Xu Jin and Xue Lei basically leave early and return late. Xu Xian doesn't know what they are busy with, but occasionally chatting with Xiao Wu and others will know something.

After Xu Xian came back, people who were familiar with him came to him one after another.Now Xu Ye and Xu Yan can be regarded as the top figures in the base, not to mention holding a lot of soldiers in their hands, even the resources gathered in the chaos before are also quite a few.

Xu Xian didn't know much about these things. Basically, Xu Yan was operating in secret. Now that the Xu family is proud, there are not a few people who come to fawn on them.

Xu Xian didn't understand these things, so he called Xu Ye directly, and Xu Ye simply sent two guards to deal with these matters.Ordinary people come to the door to give gifts, many of which are gold, silver and jewelry. These things are not very valuable now, but they are still hard currency in circulation in the upper circles of the base.

Things Xu Xian will also depend on the situation, and some of the accepted ones will be returned with tobacco, alcohol and food. He doesn't want people to criticize the Xu family because of a little cheapness.Exchanging some low-value gold and silver for high-end cigarettes and alcohol is also a profitable business, but it is a pity that the things sent by ordinary people are returned directly.After all, there were not many close relationships in the past, so it would not make people feel that the Xu family turned against others.

In addition to the contribution value used by ordinary people in the base, some gold, silver and jade can also be used as currency, but the value has depreciated by more than a star and a half compared to before.Nowadays, barter is basically used in the base, and the most in-demand food and thermal supplies can be directly exchanged for other supplies.In addition, base officials also began to recycle crystal nuclei.Now there are only a small number of teams going out to kill zombies, and even fewer people dig out crystal nuclei after killing zombies.

Many people who have read the novel are very interested in this thing.Many people have also done experiments with crystal nuclei, and some even swallowed crystal nuclei alive, but after half a year, the facts have proved that this thing is basically useless.

Now the base officially started to buy the crystal core. Although it is not clear what its use is, at least it has proved its value, so the price of the crystal core has also begun to rise.The exchange ratio between ordinary colorless crystal nuclei and tortillas has climbed to one to five, while the value of other colored crystal nuclei is even higher.

Because Xu Xian had space, he secretly stored many of the crystal nuclei he had knocked down along the way.Except for more than 1000 colorless crystal nuclei on the surface, there are nearly [-] crystal nuclei in the space, and nearly [-] colored crystal nuclei.There are various colors in it, except for the more common ones, there are also gold, silver and black crystal nuclei, although they are only a small part.

These zombies with colored crystal nuclei are very difficult to fight, many of them were picked up by Xu Xian, that is, the crystal nuclei that were not taken away by someone who killed the zombies before.

The colored crystal nuclei are all placed separately by Xu Xian in a sorting box, and there are many transparent boxes inside, and the crystal nuclei of various colors can also be placed separately, which is clear at a glance.These crystal nuclei are installed in two large storage boxes, which are shiny and very eye-catching at a glance.

Xu Xian gave some of the crystal nuclei left outside to Xu Ye and Xu Yan respectively.As the value of the crystal nucleus has doubled, the base has also begun to spread the use of crystal nucleus energy as a new type of energy.

The large power plants in the original magic capital have been abandoned, and the nuclear power plants have been shut down, and the temperature in winter keeps dropping.Although many people have survived the previous virus attack, some people with poor physique can hardly cope with such a sudden severe winter.If energy can be extracted from the crystal nucleus to solve the energy crisis of the base, then many problems that follow can also be easily solved.

In the previous life, Xu Xian had never been out of the base, and he didn't know much about the outside world, but he also knew a little about the crystal nucleus.

According to the rumors, the crystal core can indeed be used as a cultivation resource, but that is only for some people who stand at the top of human beings.At least ordinary people simply cannot adapt to the huge energy of the crystal nucleus, and they also have no way to draw energy from it.

From Xu Xian's point of view, he felt that he had already got some clues.However, the crystal nucleus is the fruit that grows in the zombie's body after all, and I can't adapt to it after thinking about it, let alone using it on myself.

Although Xu Xian has already obtained the cultivation secret book, there is no rush for this kind of thing, and he himself is not very anxious, so it is better to proceed step by step.What's more, the spiritual spring water in the space can continuously replenish the energy needed by the body, even if you don't use the crystal nucleus to practice, there is no big problem.

After entering the base, Xu Jin didn't see anyone for three days, and Xu Xian also guessed a bit.Now all major forces are recruiting people. Although the Xu family has many soldiers, they are not Xu Jin's subordinates after all, and it is impossible for him to order those people.It's better to recruit people yourself and start anew.

When they returned to the base, not to mention that the structure of the base had been finalized, basically all the profitable places had been divided up.It is thanks to Xu Ye and Xu Yan that the villa under Xu Xian's name is safe and sound, but as far as Xu Jin is concerned, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on these two people blindly.Nowadays, many sons and brothers have dozens of people under their command. Now it is not as good as in a peaceful and prosperous age. Once danger occurs, these few people alone may not be enough.

So Xu Jin stepped up his cultivation, and at the same time began to gather the previous forces.Although many people have switched to others, but some have been doing it alone.Knowing that Xu Jin has returned safely, some people also have the intention of taking refuge.After all, unlike ordinary young masters, Xu Jin has the Xu family behind him, but he has always acted fairly. Many veterans have worked under him, so his reputation is much better than ordinary nobles.

Only in this way, there will be more people who come to seek refuge, a mixed bag of good and bad people, Xu Jin is very cautious in recruiting people because of Xu Xian.As for the secret books of the previous few people's cultivation, they are simply regarded as confidential and are not allowed to be disclosed to the outside world.

------

Xu Jin was busy, and Xu Xian was not idle either. In addition to gathering the things in the villa, there were too many and miscellaneous things that were collected in the space, and he also needed to tidy them up.

There are a lot of goods in the warehouse materials and containers harvested in several major ports, which are basically foreign imports or things to be shipped out.

Such as high-end tobacco and alcohol imported from abroad, all kinds of expensive luxury goods, tightly packed guns and ammunition, RVs and sports cars.A large number of imported milk powder, chocolate candies, candied fruit, honey tea, health care products, various instant food, dairy products, grain and oil, etc.

It is really not a small challenge for Xu Xian to organize so many materials, at least in the short term.Therefore, except for the equipment that may be used in the near future, the rest can be sealed and kept after checking the outer packaging.

Xu Xian made a detailed list of these materials collected later, in duplicate.One of them is pasted on the container, which is easier to find in the future, and the other is stored in a notebook for backup and comparison.

In addition, the things collected after landing on the southern island and the preparations before the end of the world also need to be reorganized.

It was too dangerous to be outside before, so Xu Xian could only sort it out roughly. Now that he has plenty of time, he has nothing else to do for a while, so he can only find things to sort it out on his own and see how much money he has.

There are also hundreds of containers of things collected before the end of the world, and more than half of the seeds alone are still unused.The fruits and vegetables that have been planted are enough for their current consumption, and no amount of them can be taken care of, so there is no need to continue planting, and they are still sealed and stored in the basement.

Clothes, shoes, socks and other finished products are all brought in with packaging bags or full boxes. It is too troublesome to count each piece, so Xu Xian simply finds empty boxes and packs them one by one, and finally puts them into the container.Clothes and shoes take up more space, plus the previously purchased cloth, needlework, etc., accounted for almost one-tenth.

In addition, there are some decorations, toys and other small things that were accidentally put in. They are all put together in the storage box and put aside for easy access.

Equipment and food are the largest among them. Excluding the food that can be eaten directly, dried vegetables and fruits, the remaining staple food is worth hundreds of millions.There are also some semi-processed condiments, butter, cheese, jam, etc., and all kinds of equipment that Xu Xian ordered before, except for various food processing machines, and agricultural machinery such as small harvesters.

In addition, there are books ordered before, medical equipment, various medicines, daily necessities such as pots and pans, and a large number of household items.

These need not be mentioned one by one, the most important of which are the various materials of the building material city collected by Xu Xian later, there are also a large number of ancient books, a large amount of gold and jade hard currency, and the most important guns and ammunition.

The materials that Xu Xian collected can basically be said to be everything that one expects to find. He still has space to back up, and he can continue to produce continuously, at least he doesn't need to worry about food and clothing.At this moment, he was suddenly at a loss, because he didn't know what direction the future would lead.

Because the New Year's Eve is approaching, the base has launched a festival event. Although it is held privately, the scale is not small, and it is located in the exhibition square in the center.In addition to some preferential activities, there are also trade fairs, entertainment programs, etc. that can be traded freely.

This Xu Xian also participated, it can be regarded as a good opportunity to negotiate a deal, there is no telling who you will meet there.As for entertainment programs, they are more exciting and bloody than before the end of the world. You can even see some former big stars lowering their prices. Many good-looking boys and girls have even become some people's personal belongings and are used as gifts. Exchanging obscenities is even more common.

Xu Xian, as the Xu family, naturally also received the invitation. In addition, there are several people in the organizer who are Xu Ye's immediate superiors. If they are willing to invite you, it is naturally impossible for him to reject it directly.

Recently, crystal cores are in short supply in the base, so Xu Xian simply put some crystal cores on his belt.Xu Jin was worried about him, so he left Xiao Wu and others to watch the house, and he and Xue Lei went out with Xu Xian.

Xue Lei also likes to join in the fun. It has been more than ten days since he came back, and the base is deadly silent, and there are mourners everywhere. Anyone who sees it will not be in a good mood.

It is rare to have such a lively large-scale gathering, Xu Xian is also a little more interested, and today the second brother Xu Yan will also show up.Xu Ye was too busy with trivial matters to spare time. As for Xu Hao, Xu Xian selectively ignored him.

Although the villa is a bit far from the square, only those young masters who don't know the sufferings of the world can afford to drive at this time.Several of Xu Xian's cars consume a lot of gas. Although there is a lot of gasoline in the space, and there are full tankers and tankers, no matter how many things there are, they cannot withstand such consumption.Furthermore, when Xu Xian came back, he only drove one car. Anyone who is interested will know that even though there are a lot of things stored in the villa, they can only be used for one year at most.And that's just food, gasoline and guns and ammunition are only a small part.

But in the end Xu Jin decided to drive. Firstly, there was no need for others to see clearly, and secondly, he was reluctant for Xu Xian to go so far.

Although there are bicycles, motorcycles and other means of transportation in the space, under Xu Jin's stern gaze, Xu Xian still couldn't use them.

The days in winter are short, and it is completely dark after six o'clock, but the exhibition square is brightly lit.Xu Xian couldn't help feeling that, in order to save money, they rarely used generators on weekdays except for lighting two or three candles.And for such a large area in front of you, the power supply alone is definitely not a small amount.

There are dozens of people standing in two rows opposite the revolving door at the gate, and the access check is very strict.Xue Lei handed over the invitation and stepped forward. The prosecutors checked their identities and checked their belongings before allowing the three of them to enter.

Just in case, both Xu Jin and Xue Lei carried guns, and the prosecutors just marked it on the list and let them go easily.

Xue Lei was a little surprised by this, and Xu Xian couldn't help but smile: "This is also to ease everyone's hearts, as long as they don't bring explosives in, they won't care."

Xue Lei thought about it, "When it comes to fear of death, no one compares to the rich and powerful."

What he said was quite ironic, Xu Xian couldn't help but glance at him more, handed him the backpack in his hand, and walked in quickly.

The hall was full of laughter, singing and dancing, and people of all colors were waiting to exchange cups and exchange cups. It was very lively.Xu Xian casually took a glass of juice from the attendant's tray, squinted at the buffet table next to him, and saw that there were a lot of cakes and pastries.

Xue Lei's eyes sparkled. Although he had no shortage of food and drink with Xu Xian, he hadn't seen such a big scene for a long time.Xu Jin doesn't place too much emphasis on appetite, but Xu Xian loves food more and enjoys it more, even Xu Jin enjoys a lot of blessings.But Xue Lei wasn't so lucky, but he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and his treatment was already much better than other people's.

It's a pity that he came with Xu Xian. After all, he couldn't let go of his belly and eat hard, otherwise not only Xu Xian, but also the whole Xu family would lose face.

Xue Lei clearly distinguished the seriousness, so he had to watch the food drooling. Xu Xian looked funny, so he took a tray and put some seafood for him.

Xu Xian observed the crowd carefully, and found that there were few people he knew. Many people's eyes were focused on the three naked young women on the stage. They were dressed in ancient Greek costumes and danced hot and unrestrained Dance, the spring is looming in the action.

Xu Xian enjoyed the performance on stage with great interest, but Xu Jin's complexion was not very good.At this time, there was a commotion at the gate, and everyone heard the sound and looked around, only to see seven or eight big men in black walking in protecting a young girl.

She was wearing a white dress, her appearance was immature, she looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, her complexion was pale, her eyes were dark and bright, as bright as stars.

The girl's figure is like a weak willow in the wind, she is very charming, her face is as bright as a flower when she smiles, she is really a delicate beauty that catches people's attention.

Even Xue Lei, who was concentrating on eating, couldn't help coming over, and said vaguely, "Who is this?"

Before Xu Xian could answer, a voice sounded next to her: "Miss Jinghuai Wan's family, Wan Qian. She is a great beauty, but she has congenital heart disease, which is a pity."
