末世 二三 事

The noise did not subside until midnight.

In the morning, everyone went to the canteen of the community. On the ice in some corners, there were still bloodstains that had dried up. It was unknown whether it was a human or a wolf.

Breakfast was full of batter, pickles, and that kind of powder. Everyone was full. Except for those who stayed to guard the supplies, the others were divided into three groups, each brought some supplies, and went out to inquire about news.

Everyone parted ways at the gate of the community. Jing Lin and a few familiar people were in the same group. They chose the route from the urban area to go out. On the way, they saw some sled teams going out with various tools. It's time to go hunting.

The little black dragon hid in Jing Lin's hood, looking around curiously.

On the street, there are dense igloos on both sides. Some of the people who live here are escaped from outside, and some are foreigners who were originally working in this city and stayed here.Jing Lin and the others saw that some igloos had been knocked down, or cracked. It should be caused by the wolves last night. A lot of people are redoing the igloos right now, and I don’t know where they pulled them out. The snow is piled on top and is being poured with water.

The scenery of this city is actually quite beautiful. Most of the places where the sight goes are white, but no one is in the mood to appreciate it now.

The big trees in the city are covered with icicles, and there are signs around them to remind pedestrians not to approach them, because if the icicles fall, they can directly kill people.

A city is very big. Although the territory has been divided, each base has just started, and now there are many places that cannot be controlled. Jinglin and the others are looking for such places.

Finally, everyone found a street between the two bases of southwest and southeast.

In L City, the four bases all want to grow and develop. Although they cooperate with each other, they are still in a state of competition fundamentally.There is no clear planning line for the base site. As far as the street where Da Jinglin and the others are standing now, the southwest and southeast bases have always been at odds, and the site is clearly divided, so a street was divided into two halves. One side is southwest and the other is southeast.

The discord between the upper floors of the two bases caused some residents at the bottom to also be at odds with each other. As soon as Jing Lin and the others stepped into this street, they saw such a strange scene on the two streets: some residents of the two bases were sitting In his own igloo, wrapped in worn quilts, he scolded the residents who were also sitting in the igloo on the opposite street.

They listened carefully and found that the swearing and swearing were trivial matters, such as the person who snored too loudly and disturbed the people last night, who farted in the middle of the night so smelly that they almost suffocated people, or the couple who were shameless doing things in the middle of the night called It was so bad that the neighbors couldn't sleep well.

This is all because of being too idle. People who live here are basically old and weak with little ability. They stay in the igloo every day, doing nothing, finding faults and quarreling, which seems to be the only way to vent their emotions.

But even if the quarrel turned red, because the two bases had an agreement not to fight, no one has done anything yet.

Amidst these quarrels, there are still some vendors who set up stalls. The stalls are located in front of their own houses, and the stall owners are sitting in the igloo. On them are the powder cubes and ice-like roots they have seen in the cafeteria. , a piece of gray cloth is filled with all these things.

It seems that these two things should be quite common in L City.

Yan Fei knelt down beside the stall and asked the stall owner, "How do you sell this thing?"

The stall owner had a sleepy look at first, so he straightened his back immediately after hearing the question, first pointing to the stem and said: "This ice root can be used as drinking water, two catties of flour is exchanged for one catty. This sweet cake, five A catty of flour is exchanged for a catty."

Everyone looked at each other, the price seems to be very expensive.

Yan Fei was about to speak, when suddenly a head popped out from an igloo next to it, it was an old lady, she raised her voice and yelled at this side: "Young man, don't be fooled by him, you go to the ice root!" Outside Baiying Mountain, there are everywhere, you can just dig a hole and pull out a lot, this thing is worthless. The same goes for the sweet cakes, half a catty of flour can be exchanged for a catty."

Yan Fei put down Bing Gen, and immediately understood that the stall owner probably thought they were from out of town, so he wanted to fool them.

The stall owner was punctured, got out of the igloo angrily, pointed at the old lady and jumped up and scolded: "Stinky old woman, if you don't speak up, no one will treat you as a dumb, so you won't see that I am good, right? You are the one who is bad every time." I'm good!"

Seeing this scene, many people around laughed at the stall owner, saying that he failed to fool you again today, etc. It seems that this matter has been done before, but it was not successful, and it was probably all caused by the old lady next to him. for destruction.

The old lady was not afraid of him at all, they lived around here, no one knew who, she just glanced at the stall owner shamelessly, and pointed in the direction to Yan Fei: "What do you want to change, go At the end of this street, there is an exchange shop, the price is relatively reasonable, and the things my son finds are usually taken there."

Yan Fei thanked her, and everyone walked towards the end, leaving the stall owner hopping around on the spot and telling them to wait. If the price is too high, you can pay back the money on the spot, don't just leave after a disagreement. !

Yan Fei and the others ignored him, the stall owner had been outside for a long time and was too cold to bear, so he gave up and went back into the igloo, waiting for the next outsider to be slaughtered.

Walking to the end of the street, Jing Lin saw the signboard of the exchange shop from a distance, and heard a burst of applause from there.

Jing Lin said, "Let's go and have a look."

When I got closer, I found that there were two igloos in the open space in front of the store, one big and one small, many people were crowded in the big one, and only one person was sitting in the small one. The expression on that person's face changed from time to time. As he spoke, he talked incessantly, and when he got excited, his hands and feet would dance along with it.

Jing Lin and the others stood by and listened for a while, only to realize that this person was actually telling a story, that is, "storytelling".

When Jing Lin and the others arrived, it happened to be the end of a story. After the storyteller left suspense, he asked everyone to wait for the next chapter to break down.After the people in the big room left, the storyteller also said that he was tired, and was chewing a piece of ice root to moisten his throat. At this moment, something was thrown from the exchange shop, and the storyteller was sure. I caught it on the spot, held it in my hand and saw that it was a steaming chicken leg!

The storyteller cupped his fists in that direction, imitating ancient times, "Fifth Master, thank you!"

A male voice came from the door: "Today's story is good, continue tomorrow."

The storyteller complied, and then sat cross-legged on the spot and gnawed with his mouth open—it’s so cold this day, if you don’t eat it quickly, the chicken leg will freeze.

The people next to him who hadn't completely disappeared looked at it, and they all looked at it twice more enviously. If only I could be so eloquent, I wouldn't worry about eating chicken legs, but I didn't have this ability, so I could only swallow my saliva and leave. .

Jing Lin and the others also looked away and entered the exchange shop.

Seeing the layout inside, several people who had been to the Wang Laoda shopping mall were stunned, because the layout around the counter was too similar, and the back wall was also occupied by two large price lists with patterned patterns. Not to mention the exact sameness, the exchange price and the materials collected are almost exactly the same.

Fifth Master was a middle-aged man with a blank face. He sized them up and saw that they were empty-handed, and asked, "What for?"

Jing Lin was thinking about the connection between Boss Wang and the fifth master, and said, "Let's take a look first."

Fifth Master didn't speak, and waved his hand to signal them to be casual. He held a cup of hot tea, leaned on the old man's chair, thinking about things, and occasionally glanced at them.

At Fifth Master's place, Jing Lin and the others actually found a mutated tomato fruit.But it's right to think about it. The current tomato fruit itself has to grow and bear fruit in extremely cold places. The weather here is so cold that it is not surprising that tomato fruit appears.It’s just that from the outside, it’s smaller than Jinglin’s, and it’s not that pretty, and it feels a bit malnourished.

Knowing the exchange price of things here, Jing Lin and the others had the cheek to not change anything. When they left, Fifth Master still didn't say anything, but knocked on the price list marked with the word "mutation" to remind them: "If you have strange animals and plants, you can bring them to me. If you need them, the price will not be low."

Jing Lin and the others nodded and left.

Afterwards, they walked to the center of the southwest base, where the missions were distributed.

But because the journey was too far, we didn't know how long it would take to walk, so we called a "taxi", which was actually a sled, pulled by a group of fast white-haired animals.

Before getting into the car, Yan Fei took a look and felt that the shape was inexplicably familiar, so he asked the owner: "Is this a mouse?"

The owner of the car said: "Yes, it's too cold here, these mice have evolved thick fur, and because they run fast, they were caught and trained to pull the sled. There are many people, not a problem at all."

The mice that were killed by them in that small village before still had short black hairs all over their bodies, but now they have white hairs. The direction of animal mutation is also affected by the environment.

The owner of the car is pretty good. He should be an old driver. On this slippery ice layer, the car "drives" quite steadily. It almost collided with another sleigh car that was pulling passengers. Both of them braked in time. , and then choked on each other, "Hurry up to reincarnate", but everyone is busy, there is no extra time to quarrel, and each other yelled at their own mice and hurried away.

This is really advancing with the times, even the tone of cursing seems to be the same as before.

The speed of this car was a bit fast, which made the group of people fearful all the way, for fear of overturning on the road, but in the end, everyone arrived at the center of the base unscathed, paid the owner's fare, and everyone entered the center.

People were coming and going in the center, everyone walked around and found the task panel first.The above tasks are divided into three types: finding people, finding new species, and hunting mutant beasts.

Among these three tasks, there is no specific location for finding new species. As long as it is something you have never seen before, you can bring it to the base. After it is tested by people as a new species, you will get relevant rewards.The other two are where the publisher releases with the location. If the person who is looking for the person is successfully found, all rewards will be paid. If the person fails to find the person, no reward will be paid. Take a trip, this task is too risky, unless the task reward is particularly high, otherwise no one will take it.

As for the mutated beasts, the taskers who successfully hunted would only get all the rewards if they handed over the prey with intact corpses to the publisher, and the rewards would be [-]% less if they lost one leg.

When accepting tasks, those who do the tasks only need to take off the red list and register at the task registration office.Each task also has a time limit. If the time limit specified by the publisher is exceeded, the task will be considered a failure, and the red list will be hung on the task panel again, waiting to be accepted again.

In addition to the task panel, there is also a recruitment panel.
