A thousand miles in the last days

Chapter 44 The Fall of the City...

The bustling street in the past is still lively at this time, but it seems to be different from usual. People walking on the street don’t have any smiles on their faces, and they are a little numb. They go in and out of the shops on both sides of the street at will, as if they are in their own home It's just as casual, and occasionally some people who wear fear, arrogance, and caution on their faces are threatened and expelled by them, or exchanged for some food from them.There is no market for banknotes. They only accept gold and silver jewelry. It seems that they also understand that banknotes will be worthless in the future. The most important thing is to reserve more gold and silver.

More and more disaster victims are pouring in here. The people who have suffered huge disasters and the people who live here have not yet suffered. The so-called powerful people are afraid of death. The gap between the two has caused the disaster victims to gradually occupy the city. Controlling the food sources that can be seen on the street, only residents who have something they are satisfied with can exchange food from them. Some people who have nothing valuable are not only unable to exchange things, but are beaten and scolded by them.

People at the upper level of society still regard themselves as upper-level people in this situation, but some civilians at the lower level enjoy the taste of being a controller in this process. They have the necessities of others' survival in their hands, Those people have to bow to them if they want to survive, so in the process of being pleaded and pleaded again, their hearts become harder and harder, and they become less and less "normal".

In order not to let others suspect, Xiao Leng and others once went to the street together to see the so-called food exchange, but they were shocked by some people who had lost their nature, and Xiao Leng looked at a small supermarket on the street. He stared at the transaction and said, "How could this be? Both public and private shops have been seized by the victims. It's really like what they said. No one came to ask about it. They have already acquiesced to this kind of behavior." ?"

Xue Qianzhong frowned, "It's really uncomfortable here, hurry up and go back." Holding two pendants like jade bars, Xue Qianzhong took Xiao Leng to a grain and oil store, just in time The pair of men and women who were rejected by them were holding a bracelet that looked expensive and pointing to the victims who were looking at the food, saying how much it was worth and how much it could be exchanged for.

Seeing Qian Zhong and Xiao Leng coming in and asking the price of a bag of rice, the woman smiled unceremoniously: "Oh, it's you, it seems that you have nothing to eat, but the two yuan in your hand Jade is really not worth much money, I am curious what you can buy?"

The beer-bellied man next to her gave them a sideways look of contempt, and a few disaster victims who looked at the store were also ignorant, pointing to half a bag of rice and saying: "Isn't this bought in a regular store? It's not good even if it's small. , giving you half a bag is too much.” Well, even if it’s not good jade, it’s worth tens of hundreds of dollars, why can I only buy half a bag of rice?Has this price risen to ten times the original price?

It can be seen that the victims originally wanted to give them a bag, but what the woman said made it seem that Xiao Leng and his things were worthless in comparison.Xue Qianzhong had no interest in the mixed jade on his opponent, so he threw it into the arms of the man in front of him, picked up a bag of rice, and coldly snorted at the woman: "Indeed, those diamond necklaces and bracelets on your body are more valuable, but they are not If you know if you can buy a little more than us, let's go."

Qian Zhong and Xiao Leng didn't have any good feelings for these two people, and they didn't want to see what they bought to see if it was cheaper. What they didn't see was that behind them, in the grain and oil store, several disaster victims were greedy. Looking at the necklaces on the woman's neck, he took back the food he wanted to give them, and said bluntly: "If you give us the necklaces, I can give you all these bags, otherwise you should go elsewhere."

The woman's screaming voice spread far away: "What? You dare to raise the price!" The diamond necklace was coveted by others, and this woman almost forgot the horror of these people. If there is anything on her that she can show off , it must be the necklace, but unfortunately she is not a woman who knows how to be restrained. The result of showing off her necklace all day is that the disaster victims who control the food will fall in love with her. If she does not hand over the necklace, she will not be able to buy food...

As for whether the woman reluctantly gave up her love, our protagonist doesn't know.They returned to their residence with a bag of rice and a bucket of water. Although there is tap water to boil hot water, it is always more convenient to buy bottled water with a water dispenser. On the way back, they saw a small-scale robbery. In the food war, after all, it is common people. It is okay to injure people, but not to kill them. However, if this continues, the contradictions will become more and more serious, and it will be hard to say at that time.

It’s not that no one has thought of leaving, but where can we go now? Nearby places are disaster areas, and there are many disaster victims. Farther away, there are no cars or cars that don’t have enough gasoline, so we can’t walk on foot. I heard that there are people driving They wanted to go out of the city by car, but were stopped by the victims and took the car. Cars are also a good thing now. As long as they have enough gasoline, they can go to places with more resources.

The people in the hotel are now roughly divided into two factions, one is the independent faction, each takes care of his own business, and doesn’t care about others when he is full; the other is the unity faction, who want to unite to overcome this difficulty.Of course, each faction has its own benefits. Independent factions don’t need to share food with others, they can store food by themselves, but when you have no food, no one will give you alms. Unity faction can enjoy it when they have less food. Other people's food, or share your own food with others, but the disadvantage is that everyone will starve together, and there is not enough food.

People from the two factions looked at each other disliked, and even changed floors very consciously, each occupying its own place.

In order not to make them the target of public criticism, Zhang Hao suggested to choose any faction to join. The number of independent factions is relatively small. The reason is that they don't need to switch rooms.

The result of joining the Unity faction was that some people came to them for lunch, so that they could not have a good meal for several days, and they drank rice porridge, wilted vegetables and miso with them.They occasionally take out a few potatoes and green peppers to fry a plate of vegetarian dishes, and occasionally bake a few pancakes. The taste is very good. This is the most common meal at this time. It is very popular at this time, which is why other people are more and more fond of coming to eat s reason.

The latest recent developments are still being shown on the TV, but most of them are scenes taken by helicopters in the air. Few staff members are willing to take risks to record programs in disaster-prone places.Nearly half of the area is either frozen or in a mess, and the intact area is also facing a disaster that will erupt at an unknown time and a gradually lost moral civilization.

Xiao Leng moved a chair and sat by the large floor-to-ceiling window at the end of the corridor basking in the sun. A group of people were chatting vigorously in their room after eating, especially those who were a little older. They always liked to talk about old things: old There are famines in the society, floods, begging for food, etc., and some girls always like to come here. It is not convenient to come alone, so it takes a long time to sit with family members or the elderly.He didn't like to talk to strangers very much, so he had to move a chair and carry his coat over to bask in the sun and take a nap.

It's a pity that such a little free time was also broken. A girl came over when she saw him coming out by herself, stood beside him and looked at the sun and sighed, "I came from the north. I wanted to join my relatives, but I didn't expect them to go abroad. I haven’t seen the sun for a long time when I was there, and now I feel like I’m alive, but it’s a pity that the outside is not peaceful. I heard from your brother that you also came from the north, and you have walked a lot Woolen cloth!"

Xiao Leng didn't know what to say to her, so he nodded: "En."

The girl continued to search for words, "Those brothers of yours are really good-looking. There are several women in this building who go after them. Aren't you real brothers? You don't look alike?"

Xiao Leng also continued: "En." What do you mean, you still want to find a boyfriend at this time?

"Many of them fled with their families, and some of them lost their families. Finding someone to rely on at this time is also for the future, don't you think so?" So that's the case, but what do you mean by asking me?

"Where's your family? Who are you in the black coat? Do you have a girlfriend?" Black coat?Brother Hao, it turned out that it was Brother Hao's idea to come here to talk, but unfortunately, unless you change your gender, there is still a slight possibility, and a sensible person would not fall in love at this time.

"Oh, he has a lover." After saying this, Xiao Leng closed his eyes and fell asleep.The girl looked stunned and didn't speak for a long time.

Zhang Hao, although this person has an improper job, his face is attractive to women, and he can talk, so he can coax the elders into smiles, which alleviates a lot of melancholy. Those with daughters want to give him a man, This person looked capable, at least up to now, his clothes were clean and his face was glowing with health, and he hadn't suffered much after walking such a long distance.The old man has seen a lot of world, what a fine person!It's a pity that I met Zhang Hao.

Although Zhang Hao didn't get much words out of his mouth, the news that this handsome guy had a lover did spread, and there were countless versions of various brain supplements for a while, and the four of them couldn't help but laugh.Zhang Hao peeped at Xiuwen's face, but couldn't see anything, and scratched the wall depressedly.

In these days when the surface is calm but the undercurrent is turbulent, the New Year has ushered in.

The author has something to say: The computer needs to reinstall the system. When I wrote the article today, the document was flickering and flickering. It was probably because I played Xianwu recently. The configuration of the small computer is not good. Alright TAT
