Rebirth of the Doomsday Calamity

Chapter 39

The free market was established spontaneously by the survivors. It is located in an open space next to the exit of an underground parking garage. Many ordinary survivors without supernatural powers will set up stalls there.Replace the things that were not brought out with useful things. There are also supernatural beings and courageous survivors who get things from the outside and bring them here to exchange for various needed things.

Both Chen Rui and Weekend have heard people discussing that there are many things in the free market, but they have been busy for the past two days and have not been there.Walking along the route towards the free market, although the sun was already shining, it was still morning, and the temperature had not yet reached the highest point of the day.

The closer you get to the free market, the more people there are. Survivors in twos and threes hurried past, which is much more lively than other places on the base that are just doing missions. There are more and more people on the free market side, and the military also arranged a team of twenty A soldier patrols.These patrolling soldiers are fully armed, and anyone who makes trouble in the free market or even the base will be shot to death directly in accordance with the order of wartime.

So the order of the free market is not bad, but the business of pimping in various states has already sprung up on the side of the free market. Those beautiful skinny beauties and handsome young men are a little blatantly waving towards people passing by who are obviously capable of spending , some people want a pack of biscuits, some just want a whole grain steamed bun, and some just want half a piece...

Chen Rui and Zhou Zhou looked at their clean clothes and rosy faces, and they didn't look like they were incompetent, but those who were incapable after the end of the world were already pale and emaciated and in a state of embarrassment.These two young people who were walking towards the free market were either too strong in the background, or they were very strong. They must have food in their hands. Naturally, they were frequently blocked by these people who were taking customers on the road.

Needless to say, Chen Rui, in his previous life on weekends, he was quite wary of both women and men, and would never give up precious food for a moment of refreshment, that is the behavior of a fool.You must know that people who are in the last days have never tasted the kind of hunger that they want to eat themselves to fill their stomachs, so they are very concerned about food on weekends, and it is really not good to dig out a bite from his mouth. easy.

"Brother Chen has a lot of people here, it's very lively," he said on the weekend looking at the noisy free market.

This place is much bigger than expected on the weekend. Each booth is very small, about one or two square meters. The stall owner sits behind the stall. The better one has a stone or a small stool, and the worse stall owner sits directly. On rocky ground, the image is completely unconcerned.Near the entrance of the free market is a stall selling water, and he doesn't let people exchange food, as long as he likes something, you can take as much water condensed according to his estimate.

I took a look at the weekend, and walked towards the free market with Chen Rui. These small stalls really have pots and pans, mirrors, toilet water, nail clippers, ear spoons, razors, kitchen knives, washing powder, soap, and so on. Children's toys, adult products, cosmetics, all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, etc... But there is no food, not even pickles and a coarse grain cake.

The two walked around and finally stopped at a stall selling clothes. There were a lot of sleeveless short-sleeved T-shirts and the like. On weekends, they squatted down to check the size and asked the stall owner, "Do you have any?" A 1.8-meter-five long-sleeved T-shirt and casual trousers, thicker autumn and winter clothes are also fine, there are good things, do you have any?"

"1.8 meters five, I have it here, but I don't collect corpse crystals or other things, I need food. No matter what kind of food can fill the stomach, it can be exchanged. A set of clothes can be exchanged for a day's rations. Anything else Nothing is changed." The middle-aged man looked at Zhou Zhou and Chen Rui and said hesitantly.

Hearing that the other party asked for food on the weekend, it is clear that the base is short of food on the weekend. In addition to the small number of mutant beasts that came to the new base, the military also brought back some food from the zombie siege outside.But that is a drop in the bucket for the increasing number of survivors who came here. The new base still relies heavily on the old base for food, and there is no way around it.

Since the new base provided free food on the first day, the base at this time will not provide any free food, and now to enter the new base that has begun to take shape, one-third of the food brought by you must be collected .

The military also had no choice. There were a lot of troops. Every day they either built bases or strangled zombies in Ningxiang County.However, most of the food in Ningxiang County is brought into the old base. Even if they search for it, it is limited. It needs to supply five or six thousand mouths. The old general is really turning his hair gray. Controlling the new base is already trying to escape from the old base.

And more and more survivors came to the new base. At present, the new base has been arranging people in the underground parking lot, but since the day before yesterday, the new base has been open for rent. Many brave people and people with supernatural powers followed the army to Ning Townships and counties kill zombies, obtain corpse crystals, and rent houses to live in. After the completion of the new base, the underground parking lot will no longer be provided for free, and will also be developed and rented out at that time. To maintain an expanding base requires Huge material and manpower.

On the weekend, he touched the clothes on the stall and said, "It's not impossible to exchange food, but these things are not good enough, they are rough and too thin, sleeveless ones can't be worn out now, and shirts are very inconvenient to move around." , do you have any other better, long-sleeved sportswear or winter clothes?"

It is also a bit particular to squat at this booth on weekends. Although the quality of these clothes is a bit poor, they are brand new and the packaging has not been opened.On weekends, with that condition, I don't want to wear that kind of clothes for the president who doesn't know where he got it from.Of course, it is best to be brand new. The president has a little cleanliness, but it is not the case on weekends.He is reluctant to part with the food, isn't there a mutant beast, that thing can be caught at any time, isn't it?

What's more, there are mutated locusts caught by fur balls in his space. They don't taste very good, and they look disgusting, but they are still mutated insects. Even if they are unpalatable, they can still fill their stomachs. Those that can fill one's stomach without being poisoned to death are excellent things that should not be wasted.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he heard the words of the weekend, and he immediately lowered his voice and said, "Yes, as long as you are willing to exchange food, I will take you to choose what you need now."

"Okay, now you take us to pick it out. If we are selected, we will follow the one-day ration you said before." Zhou Zhou nodded in agreement. Chen Rui beside him was not in a hurry. Go to the merchant ships in the surrounding counties to search, and you can always find it, but since you have this kind of thought on the weekend, Chen Rui will naturally not foolishly refuse.

The middle-aged man called a stall owner beside him to help him look at the stall, and led the two of them through the bustling crowd towards the parking lot in the distance.They live in the underground parking garage at night, and they can enjoy the shade there during the day, but there is no partition in the underground parking garage, and the finances cannot be kept at all. Someone moved things in, but they were stolen when they fell asleep at night , At this time, the soldiers in the base have no time to take care of this.

Therefore, after that, many people put things like finances in the car and let their family members guard them during the day. Don’t worry about it at night. People with supernatural powers generally don’t steal things from ordinary people like them, and ordinary people dare not steal them at night. When they come out, there will be no food or the like in the car, and they will not risk their lives to steal, not to mention that there are soldiers patrolling the parking lot at night, which is much safer than putting it in the parking lot underneath.

Weekend and Chen Rui quickly followed the middle-aged people to the parking lot. Although it was so hot here that people were sweating, many people covered their cars with cloth or cardboard for their little finances. Take something and sit on the ground.The ones with better conditions turned on the fans, and the ones who were close to it were fanning with books or cardboards. In fact, even if the weather is fanning, it is still hot.

The middle-aged stall owner brought them to a van on the weekend. A middle-aged woman and a six- or seven-year-old boy were sitting under the shade covered by a rain cloth. There were four or five people beside them, including the elderly, children and women. It should also be guarding the things in the car next to it, even if those things are really worthless.

The middle-aged man seemed to be familiar with these people. After saying hello, he brought Zhou weekend and Chen Rui into their small circle, opened the door of the van, and the man said to Zhou weekend: "I put clothes of that size Take them all out, you can choose, anyway, a set is at that price, I still have some winter clothes in the car, do you want to..."

On the weekend, I naturally nodded and told the middle-aged people that as long as they are suitable, they want winter clothes or summer clothes.

The two of them didn't stand for a long time before the middle-aged man took out a large stack of clothes. He opened them on the weekend and saw that they were all sportswear and the like, and they were all branded three-piece long-sleeved and short-sleeved clothes.He felt that the fabric was okay, the soft and breathable texture was quite good, and it must be comfortable to wear.When checking on the weekend, the middle-aged man got back into the car and quickly fished out a few winter clothes, all of which were mid-length down jackets and cotton jackets.

I looked at the sizes on the weekend, and they all fit the president. Some of them were 1.9 meters in size.On the weekend, the middle-aged man tied up these dozens of sets of sportswear and these few winter clothes with rope, and then said: "You went with us to get food at home, but you didn't bring it when you came out, there are quite a lot of corpse crystals. "

After hearing the words of the weekend, an old man immediately interjected: "Young people, you exchange food. I don't have clothes here, but I have shoes. They are all sports shoes, and the size is big enough. Would you like to see them? Not too much, just one pair of shoes and one ration.”

After hearing this on the weekend, he turned his head and looked at the gray-haired old man in his sixties or seventies beside him, nodded and said, "If there is one that fits, it's fine. Brother Chen, what size do you wear?"

Then the old man opened the off-road vehicle of their family, and the back of the car was full of shoes. After searching for a while, the old man took out five pairs of shoes. These shoes were found by his son and grandson in Ningxiang County at the risk of their lives. , Now there are fewer and fewer things over there, and all usable things will be brought back when they meet survivors. Even if they can't exchange for food, it would be good to exchange for some water.

On the weekend, he took the stool handed over by the old man and asked the president to sit down and try it on. Finally, the president chose a pair of sneakers and a pair of sneakers, and asked the old man to follow him over the weekend.Instead, the old man shook his head and sighed, saying that he was too old to walk, so he asked his 14-year-old grandson to go with the middle-aged man to get food at the weekend house. From this weekend, it can be seen that the relationship between the middle-aged man and the old man is still good. , it is likely to be regarded as a group, otherwise in the last days, there are few people and weak abilities and they will be bullied by others.

It was close to noon, and the temperature was getting higher and higher. The number of people shopping in the free market had decreased a lot, and some stall owners couldn't stand the heat shrinkage and went back.Only the stall selling water is particularly good. The base provides free water, but it is limited, and the water is not so clear and sweet. The water condensed by the supernatural person tastes sweet and clean. Anyone who is stronger and more capable will go there. Choose to buy power water with corpse crystals.

Taking the middle-aged man and the boy with him, he returned home four or five minutes later, asked the two to wait outside the door, and entered the house with his things on the weekend.A large block of ice condensed in the bedroom to cool down, and asked the president to try on clothes. He picked up the locusts that were drying in the guest bedroom, but in a short time, the high temperature had already dried the locusts that had been cut into pieces. A lot of water, as long as it is dried and ground into powder, it is the best food to fill the stomach.

On the weekend, I came to the door with dried locusts, opened the door and said to the middle-aged man: "I can't measure the amount of food for you, this mutated locust was caught by us in the wasteland in the base, and I have dried it. It is almost the same, you roast it and grind it into powder, add a small spoonful to the water glass, and you will be able to ensure that you will not be hungry for a meal. This is the amount of ordinary people, and it will definitely not work for people with supernatural powers. Turn it into powder, it should be enough for ten days and half a month, I am giving you some rough cakes, how about..."

"Well, is it poisonous? I have never eaten the meat of a mutant beast. This insect can also fill people's stomachs," the middle-aged man asked hesitantly.

Mutated locusts have been eaten a lot in the past life on weekends. Apart from the bad taste, they can indeed fill their stomachs. They are considered good among insects, and it was not easy to catch one on weekends in the previous life, but in this life he has already looked down on them There are mutated locusts, but for ordinary survivors now, one mutated locust is definitely equivalent to half a month's ration.

Before the middle-aged man could open his mouth, the young man who had been silent after following him suddenly said, "Uncle Zhou, I know that these mutated locusts are edible and very full, so give me some mutated locusts." It looks big, but it can't fill a person's stomach.

"Okay then." Weekend gave one-third of the mutated locusts to the boy, and three four-two-weight coarse-grain cakes to the middle-aged man, plus two pieces of mutated jerky that Weekend had made earlier, because of the taste If he doesn't do as well as the president, it's considered as a favor for the two of them on the weekend.A whole grain cake is enough for a day's ration, plus mutated locusts, and about two and a half catties of dried meat, it's still generous on weekends, and these savings are enough for a middle-aged family of three to eat for more than ten days.

The middle-aged man has never eaten mutated animal meat. If it weren't for the young man, he would definitely not believe it. Now that the young man stuffed the mutated dried meat and dried locusts into his pocket, looking worried about being snatched away, he became skeptical , maybe this thing is really good.

Soon the middle-aged people realized that what Weekend said was true. The locusts were roasted and then ground into powder. Half a coarse grain cake was boiled in water to make a paste, and a spoonful of powder was added to make their family of four half full. , Youth, these things are enough for them to save for more than half a month.This made him very grateful for the weekend, and at the same time, he was also glad that he didn't refuse at the time. The deal was so good that even the old Zhou Tou next door was smiling. That little thing was enough for their family to eat for a week, but it was just two pairs of shoes. , can you not be happy!

After a simple lunch, Chen Rui and Chen Rui didn't take a rest on the weekend. Although there are ice cubes at home that are much cooler than outside, the two of them are definitely not people who will enjoy it.Weekend drove the car with the president towards the gate of the base. When passing by the shed where Li Han worked, Weekend probed to greet Li Han, but Li Han immediately called out when he looked at Weekend and Chen Rui as if they were about to go out. One sound.

Waiting on the brakes on the weekend, Li Han ran over and said, "When you go out on the weekend, look for mint leaves. They are looking for those mutated semi-wild plants. If you can find one, go through the wood-type superhuman After being firm, it is non-toxic and can be exchanged for a lot of food, do you know this news?"

"I really don't know, thank you, Li Han." Weekend smiled. He always thought that Li Han was a good person. Seeing that the other party has been calmly supplying water for half a base for so many days, instead of running to sell water by himself, It is clear that Li Han is not only a good character, but also able to help more people at the expense of everyone's interests.

Li Han immediately smiled when he heard the weekend's thanks: "I knew you hadn't been notified yet. Sun Yi and the others went out too early and didn't get any news. The task was sent out just half an hour ago. Be careful when you go out. I wish you all the best!" Good luck finding a few more plants, if you do find them, don’t forget to treat them.”

"There is no problem at all, then let's leave Li Han first." Li Han shook his hand and stepped on the gas pedal towards the gate of the base on weekends.

When they left the base, the two registered their license plates, and they could only pay one-third of the harvest to enter the base when they came back. Otherwise, they would have to pay for the first time to enter the base and the parking space.There is no way, the construction of the base requires a lot of supernatural beings, and there are too many places to use corpse crystals. The military can't provide them at all. They can only collect them from the people they protect, otherwise the base will soon fail to operate.

After leaving the gate of the base, they were quickly stopped by someone. They opened the car window and looked at the young man who stopped the car and said, "It's something, we don't take anyone with us."

"It's not that you misunderstood. You are also going to the city to find supplies. We are too. It is dangerous to go to the city. The more people we have, the safer we are. And we go out of the base once a day. We know which places the army has wiped out zombies. There will still be some zombies in the past, but it is much safer than not being wiped out. We will take you there, and the supplies will be divided into four or six. There are still fish that slip through the net." The young man kept talking while spitting.

Looking at the president on the weekend, Chen Rui, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened his eyes, glanced at the young man and said, "Well, we can go to Ningxiang County to have a look. If the things are collected, we can go to the surrounding counties and cities." For Chen Rui, who already had a level [-] soil ability, as long as he didn't encounter hordes of zombies and mutant beasts outside the base, the danger was basically not that great.

After hearing the president's words on the weekend, he turned his head to the young man in the car window and said, "Okay, we'll go and see with you. If the situation is not good, we will leave. You won't object, right. When will we leave?"

Seeing the weekend promise, the young man immediately smiled and said: "Of course not. As long as things are divided according to our agreement, you can leave the team at any time. You are very lucky, and our team is almost ready. Let's start now, and you will follow behind." OK."

The young man quickly brought them to the convoy five to sixty meters away on the weekend. Sure enough, there were already more than a dozen cars there, as the young man said.They gathered at least 60 or [-] people. It was indeed much safer to gather so many people to find things in places where the military had wiped out zombies.

When the young man got back into the car, someone immediately joked, "The boy is a good fool, we have a few more cannon fodder."

"Brother, I see that they are not weak, maybe they can help us, don't keep talking about cannon fodder, if they hear it, we will not be able to pull people to the rear in the future." The young man glanced at the man beside him He opened the mouth and said, if they weren't strong enough, they wouldn't have to be cautious.

Fortunately, they went out to choose a good place in the past few days. Even if the materials they could find were a little less and there were dead people, but they had some gains, and they had a little reputation in the base. If people outside heard that his big brother If so, who is willing to go out with them at that time, and who will bear the risk for them.

"Okay, brother Yao, you're the smartest, can't it be okay if the elder brother doesn't say anything? If they die, we can only blame them for their bad luck. Our team is famous for its low death rate." The man was beaten by his brother. Disgusted, he finally restrained his expression and said seriously.It's true, they find someone to follow behind, and if they encounter danger, they can drive away first, and those behind can follow up if they can. .
