Chapter 0363 Good Guys and Bad Guys
In the so-called shanty towns, various tents are not neatly erected. In some places, they are piled up, and in other places, there are none.
There are criss-crossing paths in the shanty towns, and Qin An will occasionally see some scantily clad women wandering around holding an empty bowl on the paths.
Occasionally, a man will come out of a tent, holding a handful of rice or a cornmeal cake, put it into the woman's empty bowl, and then take the woman into his small tent to do men and women things.
This is a form of begging that will only appear in the last days.
When women who have finished doing things with men in the tent come out, they will bow to the tent and say thank you.
It can be seen that the women are really grateful because they have received precious food that can extend their lives.
Qin An suddenly felt that compared with Ruyan City and Wangyou City, people's lives were not much better.
People in Ruyan City may have more freedom, but they are still poor and still face food shortages.
Feeling depressed, Qin An walked on the not-so-flat shantytown road, looking at the warmth and warmth of the world.
Granny Rong walked beside Qin An. As an ordinary old man who had lived in Wangyou City for a period of time, she had experienced more misery than Qin An had seen, so her heart was very calm, without any ripples.
Faced with the strange thing that Qin An could change from an adult to a child, Granny Rong had completely accepted it since she learned about it.
In the apocalypse, people are already very receptive to strange events, because the world is now full of strange creatures.
Seeing that Qin An's expression became a little lonely, Grandma Rong said softly:
"Xiao An, this is the real world!
It has to be said that although Sansti is a bad guy, his management ability is much better than that of City Lord Wang Han!
For the refugees who entered the city later, Trisolaris completely abandoned them and would not care about their life or death, nor would they distribute relief food. Those refugees can only maintain their lives by eating plants, grass roots, and bark around Wangyou City or secretly eating their companions. On the surface, Trisolaris does not allow humans to eat each other, but he does not care about the cannibalism of those refugees.
In addition, for the aborigines, Trisolaris treats women as currency and enforces it, so he does not need to distribute food to women, but only distributes small amounts of food and women to the men.
This is really a very clever and clever approach.
Women are currency, and those men who hold women cannot let women starve to death, because women can be exchanged for food! Therefore, they themselves can only live more frugally.
Therefore, although there are more people in Wangyou City than in Yancheng, the food consumption in Wangyou City is smaller than that in Yancheng.
It has been five days since I came to Ruyan City. I often chat with Aunt Wang, who takes care of Miss Liu Ru, and I learned some about the situation in Ruyan City from her.
Wang Han and Deng Bo, the two city lords, are both good people.
When Ruyan City accepted a large number of outsiders in its early days, both Wang Han and Deng Bo took out their private properties and distributed them to them.
This distribution consumed a lot of the materials held by the two of them.
Although they are good people, they are not fools. They have to maintain an army to protect the city, so it is impossible to use all the food reserves to help the poor.
However, with the nature of good people, they could not ignore the poor, so they wanted to let the rich people living in Dongcheng donate their private materials.
But not everyone is selfless. It can even be said that most people are selfish, and no one is willing to donate their private wealth.
In order to solve this problem, the two opened various shops in the east of the city, such as snack bars, hot pot restaurants, supermarkets, etc.
In other words, Wang Khan and Deng Bo would take out their own private property, exchange it for rice and other grains from the rich people in the East City, and then transport it to the West City to relieve the poor here.
This was Deng Bo's idea for Wang Khan. He was a businessman, so he always looked at problems from a businessman's perspective.
What they are really selling is not a product, but a service that simulates life in the pre-apocalyptic era! This is also the reason why the east and west cities are separated and cannot move around at will, because the people in the west city have suffered a lot in the apocalypse and have the habits of the apocalypse people. If they are allowed to enter the east city, all kinds of contradictions will suddenly become acute. .
It has to be said that selling the lifestyle of the pre-apocalyptic era to the rich is certainly a good idea, but it cannot fundamentally solve the city's problems.
Nowadays, the food in the city is considered a non-renewable resource in this winter. Every time you use it, you will lose it. A small amount of greenhouse plants cannot be compared with the consumption.
What Wang Han and Deng Bo are doing is just moving the private property of Dongcheng people to West City.
Hey, so it’s hard to say that good people will be rewarded in the last days!
If Wang Khan and Deng Bo could be tougher, many problems would no longer be a problem.
But now it is too late, because after a period of self-control in the west of the city, it no longer obeys the management of Wang Khan and Deng Bo.
There are a total of thirteen large and small forces in Xicheng, and these forces are always fighting overtly and covertly for each other's interests.
But these thirteen forces are an alliance, and they will not allow Wang Han and Deng Bo's people to enter their territory casually.
Most people already lack too much trust in each other. "
Qin Anjing listened quietly to Granny Rong's story. In fact, he also learned about these situations through Liu Xia.
In Qin An's opinion, Wang Han was indeed not an excellent city lord. As Granny Rong said, if he had strengthened his control over Ruyan City, the current situation would not have been achieved at all.
At this time, each force already had many combatants, with the total number exceeding 10,000. This kind of power could no longer be shaken by Wang Khan.
Perhaps, there is only one way to quickly resolve this situation!
Qin An's heart slowly sank.
In the restaurant of the administrative building in the west of the city, Wang Han Dengbo was entertaining the five-man heroic fighting team from the western Tibet base, and Liu Ru was invited by Wang Han to accompany him.
Wang Han has a deep affection for Liu Ru, so he wants Liu Ru to participate in all his affairs to increase the intersection between the two.
At this time, Wang Han smiled with a smile on his face and said to Ma Qiang, the captain of the five-man team: "Haha, Captain Ma, this is the most beautiful woman in the Doomsday Land, Miss Liu Ru! I'm going to give you a big smile today! I sent a car to pick her up a long time ago and have breakfast with you all."
Jace and Gu Gang were dumbfounded by Liu Ru. They had never seen such a beautiful woman before.
Jess sighed: "The most beautiful woman? She is indeed genuine and well-deserved. She has been famous for a long time!"
Fei Lifang snorted and said: "Please, if you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them. It's really embarrassing! Jess, you have a wife, do you still want to tease our most beautiful woman?"
Liu Ru was smiling. She heard Jace's accent was a bit strange, so she asked, "Isn't this gentleman a Chinese?"
Jess smiled heartily and ignored Fei Lifang's cynicism towards him. Anyway, he was used to this girl from country Z who liked to tangle with him.
Taking a sip of soy milk, Jess said to Liu Ru: "Beauty! My parents are Chinese. I was born in China. I came to work in China a few years before the end of the world. I learned Chinese in those years. In fact, I still can't speak Chinese." Okay, but I don’t speak Mandarin very well, don’t mind! Hey, the damn apocalypse, I originally went back to China before the apocalypse broke out, thinking about staying in the United States, but the company didn’t agree and there was nothing I could do. I returned to country Z, and then the apocalypse broke out! I couldn’t go back! Later I became a mutant. After arriving in Tibet, I joined the mutant combat special force of the government of country Z. Now I am a member of the hero team. I We must fight for humanity! Although the humans here are not the people of my motherland, I still have an obligation to help country Z! After all, my ancestors are all from country Z!"
Liu Ru smiled and nodded after hearing this. She felt that this Jace was really an interesting person.
Ma Qiang didn't show much infatuation with Liu Ru's beauty, but he was more interested in her.
Everyone talked about common things, and Ma Qiang said to Wang Han: "Lord City Lord, I already know the situation in Ruyan City! Now there is a question you must be clear about. Nowadays, they often send out troops from Wanguo City and Wangyou City. The spies came to investigate near Ruyan City. I think they may want to do harm to Ruyan City! Now, the entire circle outside the Doomsday Land is full of corpses. It is impossible to go outside to find supplies! That is to say, the three major cities will face the dilemma of shortage of materials. If you want to solve this problem at this time, launching a war is undoubtedly a good choice, which can not only weaken the population base of the entire Doomsday Land, but also rob each other's food. I think, for this reason, a war is unavoidable this winter! If the city can't work together as one, I'm afraid you won't be able to solve this crisis."
Wang Han sighed and said: "Hey, I think so too! It's hard to tell about Wangyou City, but Wanguo City has been ready to move for a long time. Recently, they can often be caught nearby. And just two days before your arrival. Oh my god, there were two mutants from Wanguo City who sneaked into the city. Fortunately, they were killed by a mysterious master. I still don’t know who this person was. I used to be the only mutant in Ruyan City. Or, I guess someone may have been bitten by a zombie a long time ago, but the virus has always been latent in the body and has not awakened, so I did not find him. In short, he should be with us. By the way, Liu Ru , is Xiao An also a mutant? I heard the child from Yunfeng told me that he saw Xiao An jump more than two meters high that day and flew directly over the courtyard wall! Wasn't that child only seven or eight years old? What if It’s impossible for a mutant to do something like that!”
Liu Ru was stunned. She had been in contact with Xiao An for several days, but she didn't know what special abilities Xiao An had.
Wang Han shook his head and said: "That's not right. I saw Xiao An several times when I went to your place. He smells like human flesh. He shouldn't be a mutant, right?"
Ma Qiang said: "Not necessarily. There are some mutants who can use the parasitic mutant beasts in their bodies to create the smell of human flesh. I met him when I had the opportunity, and I will know after shining it with a multi-colored stone ring. If he is really a mutant , we can send him to the Hero Academy at the base in western Tibet for training! After all, a child is not suitable for fighting yet."
Wang Han nodded, and then said: "By the way, Captain Ma, I have arranged a cocktail party in Dongcheng tonight. Many people in Dongcheng heard that someone from the Tibetan Heroes Team is coming, and they all hope to meet you and listen to what you have to say. It’s a matter for the Tibetan government. When the time comes, you can also advocate and let them donate their private property. It’s really difficult for me as a city lord!”
Ma Qiang thought for a moment, and then said: "Okay, I will go in the evening. It's just a problem in the west of the city. How to solve it?"
Wang Han said: "My idea is to divide them, win over some and suppress some, so I moved my office to the west of the city, just to put some pressure on them!"
Ma Qiang sighed and said nothing. The problem in the west of Ruyan City cannot be solved so easily. It seems that Wang Han, the Lord of Ruyan City, is really unqualified!
