born august in the end times
Chapter 19 Bribery
Outside City A, people rushed over and gathered in the city one after another, and some people were released into the city one after another after the observation period expired. However, the number of people outside the city did not decrease. The attitude of the staff is getting worse and worse, and the tone of their speech has no longer concealed the anxiety and disgust.
People could only swallow their anger, their only hope was to enter City A as soon as possible, and in the end they became people from City A who glared at outsiders.
There are no tents in city A that provide food, but drinking water is provided. Within [-] hours, each person has a bottle of mineral water. The staff member who brings the water is a young man with a good temper. Swallowing rubbish is not very welcome, but when you are a child, you will give a reluctant smile.
Yu Chun and the others didn't take the water that was given to Yu Chun and the others. The staff looked at their rear compartment and the car, and they must have discarded these bottles of water.
The staff happily put away the water. Although half of it had to be handed in, there were still two bottles left. "Just ask if you have anything?"
If he doesn't get rewarded for nothing, he has to pay the price after getting the reward. This is also one of the side benefits for them to go out of the city, otherwise who would risk their lives and run outside.
"Just tell us about the situation in the city." Ji Gang gave the staff another half pack of cigarettes. Give them something to perfuse them.
After half a pack of cigarettes, the effect was immediate, and the smile of the staff immediately became more sincere. He sniffed the cigarettes on the tip of his nose, and carefully packed them into his pants.
Before the zombies appeared, he was a smoker. He had to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day. Now he no longer smells the smell of tobacco. Cigarettes can be exchanged for three days of rations for a family of five.
He has decided to quit smoking.
"Don't blame us for treating you badly. To be honest, no one in City A will welcome outsiders. As long as you enter the city, within a day, your attitude will be the same as ours. The supplies in the city are very poor. nervous."
"That can't be denied. Many people have nothing when they come here. So many people died because they went to the refuge, so they went to a safe place. The result? Nothing.
Not giving us food, not letting us enter the city, we can understand this, but we can't be put in the wild, there are no two shelters, if zombies come this night, what should we do?Did you deliberately let the zombies kill us? A woman muttered in a low voice, in exchange for everyone's approval.
The people around were all pricking up their ears and listening, trying to hear what the staff said clearly while keeping themselves out of the circle.
The staff smiled wryly at the hostile eyes around them, "I'm not staying here with you, you have some reasons for staying here, but what about us? If the government doesn't care about you, we won't be here anymore.
You come here with a group of people, and we will also send a group of people outside the city. In the past few days, a total of more than 100 people have come down. Those who were infected and scratched by transformed zombies, within six days, there are 45 people. He just didn't say hello to us. "If they hadn't held guns in their hands, they would have been torn to pieces by angry people.
"Little brother, my sister made a mistake just now. Speaking of which, we are all ordinary people. If we complain, we should blame those officials." The woman who spoke just now wanted to step forward, but the staff took a step back. I know if this person has ever been scratched by a zombie.
The staff shook their heads at the crowd, "The people who can rush to City A are all killed by the zombies. Everyone has some skills. If possible, those officials would also want more People enter city A, so that more people will protect city A, and city A will be safer.
The problem is that city A is only that big, and the food and drink are only that small, and the food is even better. "
The staff shook the mineral water in their hands, "The biggest problem is the water. The researchers have done experiments. If the water is infected, people will become zombies after drinking the infected water. So now we only Can drink sealed drinking water, there is not much drinking water left in the city, so we can only implement water restriction measures, one person, regardless of age, is given two bottles of water within 24 hours."
The hands holding the mineral water around them were tightly clenched, which meant that each of them got a bottle of water here, and the people in city A would drink one less bottle of water, no wonder they were not popular.
The staff left in the surrounding silence.
Ji Gang and the others returned to the car, "You said, what experiments did the researchers use to prove that water can be infected?"
Yu Chun's heart skipped a beat, "Could it be a human?"
Ji Chen shook his head, "Probably not, human experiments will not be done unless it is absolutely necessary."
Speaking of which, they looked at each other in astonishment, since it is not a human experiment, then it is an animal experiment, which means——, that means animals can be infected with the zombie virus.
They didn't encounter zombie animals along the way, and always thought that the zombie virus only works on humans. Now it seems that the reason why they didn't encounter zombie animals was that they were lucky enough.
Animals may also turn into zombies, people may turn into zombies after being bitten, and viruses can also spread through water sources. Yu Chun doesn't know if the future world will become a world of zombies.
However, according to the little turtle, zombies can be regarded as the product of evolutionary failure, and perhaps the situation is not so bad.
"I just made a fortune for tomorrow, and we will be covered by dark clouds tomorrow." Yu Chun broke the calm with a sound.
Immediately, everyone came back to their senses. They had no energy to control what the world would become. At least they had to worry about what they would become first.
"How to say?" Ji Gang and Dongfang Hu turned their heads in the front seat, "What did you see? Zombies will come tonight?"
"You zombies are raised by my family? I can only say that there are no zombies that have turned into zombies near us. As for whether there will be zombies from far away coming to hunt for food, I'm not sure." Yu Chun felt his "hope" It is better to change the name and make it a "zombie radar scanner".
Yu Chun pointed out the window. The woman who protested with the staff just now held a six or seven-year-old child in her arms, and there were two men beside her. They sat together and looked around vigilantly, in case someone Suddenly turned into zombies attacking violently, they were only wary of others, but not those around them.
"That child—" Yu Chun's eyes were filled with sadness, that child was still so young, he hadn't started anything, and was about to pass away.
But it is not a kind of happiness, and only a bystander like myself can have this kind of thought. That mother, I am afraid, hopes that even if her child is crying alive, she does not want him to die in relief.
"That child is dying." Yu Chun said softly.
A child outside the refuge is about to die, but Yu Chun only said that "this child" will die, so it is implicitly saying that this child has been infected, and after turning into a zombie, it is naturally not considered alive.
"Are you sure?" Ji Gang also looked at the child. The child was nestling in his mother's arms, obediently nibbling a piece of rice cake, with red lips and white teeth, and energetic eyes. It really didn't look like he was infected.
Ji Gang also knew that what he said was superfluous, but he still wanted to ask, because the answer would have a great impact on them. If people in their circle turned into zombies within [-] hours, they would be quarantined again. Twenty hours, this also excludes the risk of accidental injury by snipers on the city wall when killing zombies.
"We'd better enter the city as soon as possible." What Yu Chun said, they all understood that the method of entering the city was nothing more than an old method, a method that human nature can never be despised, and a method that has been prosperous for thousands of years-bribery.
Remove the quarantine time, directly bribe the staff, and conduct blood tests.
Although the bribery method is nothing new, it is simple and effective.
At this time, it should be an unspoken secret. Ordinary people don't get blood tests, but powerful children can, just like Xie Yuan and the others, but how many people are there in City A? The children of high-ranking cadres can test 100 people in one day. Could it be possible that [-] children of high-ranking officials will arrive in City A in one day?
City A is just secretly selling places for blood tests.
Yu Chun made a start, Ji Chen thought for a while and then said: "We have four bags of rice, two bags of white noodles, three boxes of instant noodles, half a box of canned fruit, two boxes of beef, and some water and vegetables."
They ate on the left side, on the right side, and on the back and under their feet. Even under Yu Chun's buttocks, there was a bag of flour, otherwise how could they put so many things down.
It is estimated that it will be hung under a layer of skin.
After the consensus was reached, Ji Gang called the former staff member in the name of asking for water.
At first, the staff thought that they were taking back the "bottles of water that they bribed him", and their faces were quite ugly. When they heard that they wanted him to take the lead in finding a way to spend a lot of money on a blood test, they suddenly With a smile on his face, he can also get a lot of money.
"You guys really found the right person, brothers are really smart." This kind of thing, afraid of arousing public anger, they can only hint, but can't put it on the table, so they can only rely on people who understand to come to the door. You can have a full meal from top to bottom, hello, hello, everyone, as long as you don't cause trouble, the top will turn a blind eye.
If it wasn't for the fear of contagion, the staff would be so happy that they wanted to give Ji Gang a hug. After hearing Ji Gang say how many things they have, they would be even happier.
The departure of Ji Gang and his group caused confusion among the crowd. It was obvious that Ji Gang and the others were not the only ones who understood. The staff skillfully greeted them and drew out their guns, pointing their guns at them: "What are you looking at, these people have wounds on their bodies. , Now they have a fever, we suspect that they have been bitten by zombies, and need to go to another place for isolation, you want them to tear you up first after they turn into zombies."
Everyone retreated in unison, it would be better to believe this kind of thing than to believe it.
Ji Gang and the others arrived at a small building near the city wall of City A, and a middle-aged man responded, "I am the captain of Team B. I have heard about your situation. We have clearly marked the price here, and you are not deceitful. One person has 5 catties of grain, and there are [-] of you, that is, [-] catties of grain. Considering that you can’t carry so much grain on the road, your other things can be used to repay the debt, such as canned fruits and instant noodles. If it’s not enough If so, you can accommodate it."
Looking at the posture, they want to give them everything, and remember their love.
It's pretty dark.
The captain looked at them and frowned, and complained: "Brother, it's not that we charge so hard, this needs to be checked from top to bottom, the person who does the blood test in the middle of the night, the person who opens the door, the person who checks the people up and down, just the people above. , we have to pay filial piety to enter half, and the people below will be divided. Basically, everyone can't get three flowers and two dates.
You see, you are old and inconvenient—ahem, it's safe to go to the city earlier, isn't it? "
Ji Chen's eyes dimmed, and Dongfang Hu clenched his fists tightly.
This is meat on someone's cutting board, no matter whether they are slaughtering them or not, this person must bow his head under the eaves.
Ji Gang nodded: "Just do it like this, I don't know when we can enter the city?"
The captain rubbed his hands, "We can do a blood test right away, but this is not an ordinary blood test, it takes a little longer, and the result will be known in about an hour and a half."
If there is no infection, the capital will be able to come naturally.If infected, people can only stay forever.
The deal is done.
Before the blood test, Yu Chun said to the smiling captain, "In our team, it seems that one person has been infected, and he seems to have a fever."
The captain's face froze immediately, "Are you serious? This is not a joke."
Yu Chun didn't know how many people would be bitten if the child turned into a zombie. No matter how quick the snipers on the city wall reacted, the nearest people would not be spared. He only knew that he would turn into a zombie, but he was not sure When will he have fever symptoms, now he can only say that the child has a fever, hoping to attract the attention of the staff, and then hope that when the staff arrives, the child really has a fever.
As for the result, let's do our best to obey the destiny.
Yu Chun said confidently: "When I passed by just now, I absolutely saw that child's face was flushed and his eyeballs were red, otherwise why would we take out all our family assets for a blood test in the middle of the night. It’s because I’m afraid that the child will turn into a zombie and infect us.”
He nodded while talking, "I think, you'd better send someone to check it out. If the child still has a fever, he should be quarantined immediately. If he doesn't have a fever now, just in case, it's best to do a blood test. , This has been confirmed earlier, so don’t worry, it will save you from being careless, and this rumor will be spread ten times, so don’t infect you too.”
"Then we sent someone to look at it." The captain said uncertainly, this is a big problem, especially the last sentence, but it touched on his weakness.
People could only swallow their anger, their only hope was to enter City A as soon as possible, and in the end they became people from City A who glared at outsiders.
There are no tents in city A that provide food, but drinking water is provided. Within [-] hours, each person has a bottle of mineral water.
