End of World's Businessman

Lancheng, the mist in the mountains, Lancheng is located in the south of the Celestial Dynasty, close to the southwest region, and it was originally a little-known small town.After the outbreak of the end of the world, big cities quickly became Shura fields, countless refugees fled to the vast countryside, and some places with natural advantages gradually formed settlements.The advantage of Lancheng lies in its favorable location, surrounded by mountains and rivers, it will not be too cold in winter, and it will be hot in summer, but it will not be so hot as other places in the country that the water source will be exhausted and people will die of heat.Such climatic conditions allowed Lancheng to grow a lot of food, and with proper management, it was possible for the hundreds of thousands of survivors in the city to barely survive.

Of course, this is under the condition that the management is proper and the superiors are sympathetic to the people.

However, the reality is cruel, the end of the world is coming, and I can't take care of myself, who cares about the lives of others.

The settlement in Lancheng is a base formed entirely by survivors. The government and military have less control and control, and the survivors have a higher degree of freedom. As a result, it is more chaotic, and the forces of all parties are intricate.Here, we believe in the supremacy of strength, and the bigger the fist, the greater the right to speak.The right to speak in Lancheng is in the hands of several teams of extraordinary corpse hunters. After a long period of running-in, everyone's strength is evenly matched, forming a delicate balance, and jointly managing the affairs of the entire Lancheng.

In addition, the corpse hunter union is jointly managed by the settlement and the government.As an authority, the government plays the role of coordinating the contact and coordination between the hunters and the settlements, and between the settlements, so as to facilitate the hunters to better complete their tasks.

The special guards, the elite troops dispatched by the military, are stationed in large and medium-sized settlements. They are only responsible for patrolling and defending the security of the bases.In case of a crisis, it can temporarily replace the base manager and obtain the highest command authority.

The intricate forces have created Lancheng's high taxes.

When he got closer, Wu Ye saw that at the foot of the city of Lan, countless dilapidated tents had been set up around the city wall, stretching for two or three miles, and many survivors with yellow faces and emaciated faces walked through it.Two days and two nights of heavy rain formed countless large and small water dams on the muddy ground, making the entire refugee camp look more dirty and dilapidated.

All this reminded Wu Ye of the refugee camps in Africa.Worse than African refugee camps is that there will be humanitarian rescue there, and there will be no army of zombies that may attack at any time. If it is a misfortune to be born in hell, then falling from heaven to hell is not just misfortune up.

"Boss, Brother Qin, this way, you have to apply for a temporary residence permit first." Ji Yun led the two of them to an entrance on the south side. soon.

"It looks like we'll have to queue for a while. You go to the city to find your teacher, and we'll meet you when we go in." Wu Ye thoughtfully said.

"Okay, then I'll go first, and I'll cook dinner at home and wait for you." With Qin Wuhua, a supernatural being around, Ji Yun made a lot of money this afternoon. In addition to killing zombie dogs and getting a second-level crystal nucleus, Later, he successively obtained more than 30 first-level crystal nuclei, which can be said to be his biggest income since the end of the world.

Ji Yun is an old resident of Lancheng. He has a temporary ID card. He does not need to pay a head fee to enter the house. He only needs to pay the residence tax and rent on a daily basis.With the changes in the end of the world, the residence tax of Lancheng has changed from 1 gram of gold per day at the beginning, to 5 grams of gold per 1 first-level crystal nucleus, and now 10 grams of gold per 2 first-level crystal nuclei.The rent is even more expensive. The construction of Lancheng is doing well. As long as you pay the starting price and want to live in a villa, it is not a problem. Ji Yun is not that good. He lives in the cheapest low-rent housing, a shack built with plastic boards The room, about ten square meters, eats, drinks, and sleeps in it. It is not much better than the broken tent outside. It needs 3 first-level crystal nuclei a day. The only advantage is that the security is more secure than in the refugee camp.

In addition to paying the move-in fee for himself, Ji Yun also has to pay his teacher's share. As long as he keeps his temporary resident certificate in Lancheng, he has to pay at least 7 crystal nuclei every day.In addition, it is not enough to live alone, you have to fill your stomach.As an agricultural settlement in Lancheng, food is cheaper than other settlements. The cheapest bean flour, corn, and sweet potato are the staple food for people at present. The quality of better rice and flour is the worst. Vegetables are generally more expensive, and the cheapest seasonal vegetables are also the same price as rice noodles. Rapeseed oil costs 1 crystal nuclei per catty, and lard sells for 3 nuclei per catty. Pork leftovers are more than 1 crystal nuclei per catty.

In addition to the food that can fill the stomach, salt is also essential. After the end of the world, the seawater is seriously polluted, and the zombie-like marine life has made it impossible for humans to live in the coast, let alone refining sea salt.Several salt-producing salt wells in the interior have been firmly controlled by the government. They are sold directly to the settlements in need through military channels, and then exploited by the settlements to the hands of ordinary survivors. The salt has been sold I paid a sky-high price of 1 grams for one crystal nucleus.

As for medicine, it is unimaginably expensive.

The heavy cost of living has forced countless survivors to become corpse hunters, leaving early and returning home every day to find a chance of survival in the desperate struggle with zombies.Even though the life of corpse hunters is so difficult, the life of old and weak women and children without the ability to hunt corpses is even more difficult.Those who have the ability to resettle their families in the city, the women and children in the family may still have the opportunity to find a job in the city, more or less subsidizing the family, while those living in the refugee camps outside can only rely entirely on the income of hunting corpses or selling their bodies or other means.So, in refugee camps, survivors will do anything to stay alive, where chaos and death have long been the norm.

Ji Yun does not want himself and the teacher whom he regards as his father to become members of a refugee camp. He joins the Corpse Hunters Union and constantly seeks opportunities to team up with others to do union tasks, kill zombies, and work hard. Hope to go down.

"Teacher, I'm back!" Ji Yun paid the residence tax and rent for two days, and bought some rice, potatoes, cabbage, lard, and pork scraps in the trading area, in order to be able to leave a good impression for the boss he just recognized. In my impression, Ji Yun also bought some ingredients extravagantly, and when he came out of the trading area, his trouser pockets were cleaner than his face.

Li Jianguo is 54 years old. As a knowledgeable professor, he should have been at the most glorious stage in his life. However, after the end of the world suddenly broke out, relying on his profound knowledge, he and his most valued students escaped the initial chaos and lived successfully. down.But because he offended the villain in the early years, many people who were not as professional as him were recruited to the Yanjing base and continued to engage in research work, but he was deliberately 'forgotten' and forced to stay in Lancheng. Students feed.

Struggling for more than a year in the last days, Li Jianguo looks older than ten years old. He used to be a chubby and kind old man, but now he has become shriveled and thin. The deep lines on his face finally bloomed after seeing Ji Yun return safely. : "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Ji Yun smiled and said: "I made the teacher worry." Ji Yun was raised by his mother in a single-parent family. After entering university, the amiable Professor Li made up for the lack of fatherly love in his heart.Professor Li has been obsessed with research all his life, has never been married, and has no offspring. He has brought many students, but Ji Yun is the most talented and most suitable for him. He has a very good heart and is no different from his own son in his heart.Ji Yun once saw that Professor Li and his mother were single, they were lonely and pitiful when they were old, and they all lived in the same city. He deliberately matched them into a couple. In the last days, they should really be able to become a family.

Of course, even in the last days and his mother has passed away, Ji Yun still regards Professor Li as his only relative.

Professor Li laughed at himself: "It's all my fault for dragging you down."

"How can the teacher say that?" Ji Yun shook the food in his hand: "Teacher, I have two friends coming over later, you have to show your hand!"

"What's the problem?" Professor Li has spent his whole life studying various electronic devices, and his other hobby is eating.The foodie who has been single all his life has developed a good cooking skill that everyone praises.

Wu Ye and Qin Wuhua waited in line for over an hour, and finally it was their turn.

When I got closer, I found that the office was not arranged at the gate of the city, but a row of board houses was specially built outside the gate of the city.At the front is the detection office. Only those who have not been infected can go to the registration office to register simple identity information, and then go to the payment office to pay relevant taxes and fees, and then apply for a temporary residence card with the payment voucher, and finally swipe the card to enter the city gate.

Both sides of the office are full of guards with live ammunition. Occasionally, someone will cause a commotion, but it will be calmed down quickly.

In just over an hour of queuing, Wu Ye heard dozens of gunshots, the corpses of rioters were randomly piled up next to the line, and the brown-red blood on the small meat mountain meandered into the line, roaring silently The unwillingness of the dead.

Wu Ye has never been so clearly aware of what is human life is worthless, what is to be a dog of peace, not to be a person in troubled times.

The end times are far more terrifying than the troubled times.

MD, I must go back, I must go back!

Wu Ye clenched his fists and swore to himself over and over again.

The efficiency of the office is very high. As long as you are not infected with viruses and have enough crystal nuclei, you can pass the checkpoint and enter the city in a few minutes.

"It's too dark, it's worse than a money grabber!" Wu Ye said indignantly.For survivors who apply for a temporary ID card for the first time, the head tax is 15 first-level crystal nuclei, and then the minimum requirement is to pay 10 days of residence tax, and the 25 first-level crystal nuclei are gone in a few minutes.Not every zombie has crystal nuclei in its brain. To get these 25 crystal nuclei, Wu Ye has to kill at least 30 first-level zombies, which is only enough for the entrance fee.That zombie is not a big watermelon standing there waiting for you to chop it. If you accidentally die, you don’t know how it died. It’s no wonder that so many people can only live in the refugee camp outside.

With the passage of time in the end of the world, the number of supernatural beings has gradually increased, and the probability of awakening has changed from the initial selection of one in a million to the current one in a hundred.Compared with ordinary people, people with supernatural powers have too many advantages, and are regarded as the backbone by various settlements, and they are the key targets of various forces.

In Mist City, first-level ability users can enjoy a [-]% discount on all consumption in the city, including personal taxes, second-level ability users can enjoy a [-]% discount, and so on.If you are willing to serve the big forces in the base and become their mercenaries, you can enjoy more favors.

After Qin Wuhua was detected as a first-level middle-level thunder-type supernatural power user, staff members belonging to different forces immediately sold him their allegiance to the boss without any trace.Qin Wuhua's indifference came from the bottom of his heart, and the awakened lightning powers added a kind of unpredictable coercion. He just glanced coldly at the staff who usually dragged around two to five to eighty thousand people, and they immediately He fell silent, and hurried to get him a certificate.

"MD, who was that guy just now? When he looked at me, I got goosebumps." A worker gossiped.

"He gives me the feeling that he is more terrifying than a second-order supernatural being."

"Hey, how many second-level supernatural powers have you seen? Let me tell you, you are just too timid. That person just pretended to scare you like this, really..."

"That is, if he really pretends to be so powerful, can he rent a shack and live with others?"

"But his little love is really good-looking, I don't know how long he can protect it."

There were bursts of ambiguous laughter from the office, mixed with a few unsightly pornographic jokes.

Qin Wuhua's hearing was quite keen, and he heard these people's wanton gossip without missing a word, and frowned slightly.

"You finally came out, they didn't embarrass you, did they? Did you get the discount?"

In the backlight, Qin Wuhua saw the sky full of sunset light shining on Wu Ye's exquisite face, coating him with a soft orange color, his clean and free peach blossom eyes were shining brightly, from a short distance away, he seemed to be able to see His eyes were full of reflections of his figure.

The little guy is really pretty.

"... laugh... smiled, you can laugh too?!" The second young master wailed in his heart, with such a... little brother, how could he play happily with beauties in the future?
