Zhuang Qian of Rebirth in the End Times

After leaving Zhangjia Village for three days, except for the occasional light rain, the weather has always been good. The closer to city b, the fewer obstacles on the road. Soon, Zhuang Qian and his party approached the safe zone of city b.

Gradually, pedestrians in twos and threes began to appear on the wide asphalt road. Some of them were dressed in rags and had emaciated faces. At first glance, they looked like people who had gone through a lot of hardships to come to the safe zone; There was a smell of blood, probably the person who went out to do the mission.Occasionally, there would be cars driving by on the road, so although Zhuang Qian and the others drove two military off-road vehicles, the gray body was not eye-catching at all.

Gu Chen stopped the car: "Let's go here."

Not long after dawn, Tang Yunzhe put away the melon seeds in his hand, and looked at the passers-by in twos and threes with emotion: "There are people so early and so far away."

Zhuang Qian smiled slightly, looking at the newly born golden sun.

Everyone put on the backpacks and weapons prepared in advance, jumped out of the off-road vehicle, and then received the vehicle in the space.The two behemoths suddenly disappeared, attracting the attention of the people around them.But there were not many people on the road at this time, and Zhuang Qian and the others didn't seem easy to mess with, so people just observed and discussed carefully, knowing that Zhuang Qian and the others were going far away.

After walking for a while, the appearance of the safe zone appeared ahead.From a distance, there are only tall and stern walls and people coming and going.Soon there were more people on the road, and Zhuang Qian walked into the crowd, feeling the noise, and a wave of popularity rushed over his face, which made him feel very comfortable.

Sadness, hope, quarrel, love, all kinds of life are staged at the same time outside the safe zone. Only when you are in such a position can you feel that you really exist in this world.They're not the only small group struggling in the last days...

When I got closer, I realized that the city wall was not as tall as usual, and people seemed extremely small under the wall.The gate of the safe area was not open, and there were different side doors on the left and right.Zhuang Qian noticed that there was a long line at the door on the right. Nine lines were people, of different lengths, and two lines were cars. They were all waiting to be checked for people who wanted to enter the safe zone.The entry and exit on the left is easier and faster, and the people who enter and exit also have a sense of superiority in the eyes of the people in line.

Gu Chen stopped in his tracks: "I called my second brother, please wait for a while."

Zhuang Qian scooped out a bottle of water from his backpack, drank it in small sips, and handed it to Gu Chen after drinking a little half, Gu Chen took it and drank it straight away.

Yu Mengyao played with the emerald pendant hanging on her chest, and looked at the city wall with a smile: "It's only a month in the last days, so it's really efficient."

Zhuang Qian and his group are all well-born, with a good temperament, and they are young, but they don't look embarrassed at all.Logically speaking, such a team should be well-known in the safe zone, even if it is low-key, someone should have seen it, but they are indeed unfamiliar.Therefore, people who entered and exited the left door of the safe area watched them carefully.

Everyone frowned imperceptibly.

Zhuang Qian put the empty bottle into the backpack: "Let's go to queue."

Gu Chen nodded and took out his cell phone: "I'll call my second brother to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Tang Yunzhe, who was sitting on the ground, quickly stood up, and Ye Xiwen, who was leaning on Ye Jingcheng, also left his father's embrace.Meng Yuan took the lead and walked towards the team with a smile on his face.

Seeing this group of people walking towards the procession into the city, the quietly watching crowd was startled. A middle-aged man who was a little closer hesitated for a while, and moved forward.In fact, there are many people like him outside the safe zone, who earn extra money by buying and selling news, but Zhuang Qian and the others have a special temperament, so many people are waiting and watching, so as not to disturb any forces that should not be provoked.

When the middle-aged man approached, the surrounding crowd made a little noise.

"Hello, are you going to the city?" The middle-aged man smiled flatteringly.

Ye Jingcheng smiled and handed him a box of biscuits: "What do you know, tell us, if it's valuable, we won't treat you badly."

The man accepted the biscuits in a pleasant surprise. Although he didn't expect these people to be so direct, he didn't have any airs. He hurriedly poured out the news he knew.

"This safety zone is divided into the inner city and the outer city. Everyone can only advance to the outer city. No one needs to pay 150 catties of grain or equivalent to enter the outer city. In the future, they will have to pay grain every month to continue living, but There are jobs in the safe zone, so most people can barely get by." The man quickly skipped over the situation in the outer city, and he could see that this group of young people must go in, "As for the inner city, you need Pay a thousand catties of grain or equivalent. After entering the city, in addition to paying supplies every month, you also have to do a certain amount of tasks. Now the valuables include medicine, oil and crystal nuclei. The first-level crystal nuclei were worth [-] catties of grain half a month ago , even if there are a little more crystal nuclei now, it is still worth [-] catties."

Zhuang Qian nodded. When zombies generally did not evolve, crystal nuclei were a scarce material, and there were often only one or two in an area.Under the operation of my brother and the others, everyone must know the function of the crystal nucleus, so some forces will buy the crystal nucleus at a high price in the short term for the sake of longer-term benefits, but with further evolution, a first-level crystal nucleus probably only I can exchange two boxes of biscuits.

Meng Yuan smiled playfully. They harvested 21 first-level crystal cores and one second-level crystal core just in Zhangjia Village. They encountered some first-level zombies one after another along the way, and collected another 45. First-level crystal nuclei, plus those [-] crystal nuclei that are about to reach the first level but have not yet arrived.As long as a part of the crystal nucleus is needed, they can enter the inner city.

After the man finished talking about a thousand catties of grain, he couldn't help but swallowed. This might be impossible for him in his whole life. Noticing that Zhuang Qian's group didn't even change their faces, he secretly marveled with jealousy. His expression became even more respectful: "In the inner city, you have to pay one hundred catties of food every month to live in. I heard that houses are more expensive, and..."

The man lowered his voice, looking mysterious: "I heard that the price in the inner city will increase in the future, and then there will be a middle city in the upper part."

Gu Chen looked at the man's mysterious look amusedly, his elder brother had already told him about it.After all, the safe zone must accommodate most of the people, but they cannot be kept for nothing, after all, times have changed.Then the outer city, which can only provide them with basic food and clothing and needs to do basic work, has become a place to accommodate these people. Then those who have certain abilities but are not strong enough must want a better environment, while the inner city is estimated to be only big. Only those with special knowledge or superior personal strength can enter, so the Midtown is imperative.But the middle city is too ugly, so the area between the inner city and the outer city will be called the atrium in the future.

Yu Mengyao tied a strand of hair behind her ear, and interrupted the middle-aged man. Instead, they knew more about the internal information. What they didn't know was the basic fragmented rules: "Uncle, please tell me how to get in." City, look, the sun is getting brighter.”

Indeed, with the passage of time, the number of people outside the safe zone began to increase, and the dense flow of people was like a big city before the end of the world.

The middle-aged man froze for a moment, then quickly adjusted his expression and began to narrate: "Look at the door over there, the two lines on the far right for people are less crowded, and the one that goes the fastest is on the far right, but the door in line is Those who need one hundred catties of grain or equivalent, the one next to it is slower and costs fifty catties. However, the room you will stay in when you walk through these two doors is much better, after all, no matter who enters the door, you have to observe for a day. The two leftmost The door is for the sick, the elderly and children. This door is also very fast, and you can get in even if you don’t give food. As for the middle one, it’s a normal process. Sometimes you come late and you can’t get in all day. As for driving Yes, there are other regulations..."

The last days are so straightforward, if you want privileges, you have to pay the corresponding price.

"No, thank you." Ye Jingcheng interrupted the man, and handed him a small bag of white rice, which weighed about ten catties.

The man took the food, thanked him a thousand times, and left quickly.People like them are organized, otherwise they would not dare to make money casually outside the city. He has to hand in part of it quickly, and the rest can be eaten by his wife and children. longer.

Zhuang Qian and the others lined up at the far right of the leaving team.There was a young couple in front of them, they were quiet. Seeing them standing in the back and not speaking, Zhuang Qian and the others were happy and quiet.

The team moved forward slowly, only moving a little every half an hour.

It was already noon when there were ten people away from the side door.Zhuang Qian opened the backpack and pretended to be scooping something in it, but in fact, her spiritual power penetrated into Mo Xuan.

"Here." Zhuang Qian scooped out a few large lunch boxes, which were filled with rice, which Yu Mengyao made in advance. All of them are fresh and good materials, and others can't see it.

Yu Mengyao also followed Zhuang Qian's example and scooped out the thermos bucket, which contained hot milk tea, Ye Jingcheng also scooped out rice balls, Tang Yunzhe thought for a while, and scooped out a lot of vacuum-packed food, including marinated eggs, chicken wings, and small quail .

These foods, before the end of the world, are really not good in the eyes of others, even if the food is packed with delicious ingredients, they will not be able to see it.But in the last days, among a group of people who fled to the safe zone of city b, they were a little big-eyed.The smell of food made the team a little commotion for a while.

Soon, more people scooped out the food. Since they chose the faster team to pay the food, those people also had some family background.Quite a few people still had space, and soon the specialness of Zhuang Qian and the others was covered up.After a while, the people in the safe area began to distribute food to the elderly, children and sick people on the far left. The crowd commotioned again for a while, and then quieted down with hope.

The safe zone in front of me is hope. People who make trouble here and come to the safe zone after all kinds of hardships really don't know how to do it.

Not long after eating, Zhuang Qian and the others arrived at the side entrance. Looking at the five ordinary doors that were slowly moving forward as far as the eye can see, they had to admit that the one hundred catties of food per person was worth it.

At the side door, a smiling receptionist looked at them: "How many people?"

"Seven people." Gu Chen replied.

"Seven hundred catties of grain." The receptionist lady was obviously trained, and she just kept a decent smile from the beginning to the end.

After paying various unused things collected in the supermarket as equivalents, Zhuang Qian and others entered the side door.

There are two small tables inside the side door, on which are two computers for registering information.

Zhuang Qian disguised herself as a person with space and ice abilities, and Gu Chen disguised herself as a person with lightning abilities. After registering the basic information, each of them got a red magnetic card, and one person led them to the Walk to a row of dormitory buildings.

A young soldier led the way and introduced the situation to them with a blank face: "The dormitory is in front of you. You will be observed in it for a day. If you are sure that you are not infected, you can use the red magnetic card in your hand to exchange for a real pass. Yes. The person who pays one hundred catties of grain lives in a suite. The standard suite has a small living room, two rooms, and a toilet for four people. Because there are seven of you, and you happen to have one child, so there are three Room suite."

As he said that, he gave two keys to Gu Chen who was walking in front: "The keys will be returned when the magnetic card is changed, and compensation is required for loss."

After finishing speaking, he silently led Zhuang Qian and others to the door of a room. The soldiers looked at them, saluted them with a standard military salute, and left.

Gu Chen opened the door, and on the sofa in the middle of the living room, Gu You crossed his legs and looked at him and Zhuang Qian, showing a smile: "Hey, little brother, Xiao Mumu, long time no see~"

The author has something to say:
