Chapter 1289: The Trading Market Is Packed with People! (4800 Words)

Oil City.

Trading Market.

In the city wall.

Zhou Tian looked at the three cars that left, frowned, turned his head and looked at Hong Shixiong and others who had just entered.

Although the attitude of Meng Lao Da's gang did make him unhappy, the three people who just came in were obviously trying to avoid being hunted down.

This matter must be asked clearly, at least to have a clear mind.

So Zhou Tian said a few words to the combatants next to him, and then walked towards Liu Jinglue.

He roughly told Liu Jinglue about what happened between Meng Lao Da and the three people who just came in at the gate.

"Team Leader Liu, you can ask more clearly when you interrogate those people later." Zhou Tian finally said to Liu Jinglue.

Liu Jinglue looked at Hong Shixiong and others who were being carefully examined, nodded and said:

"Okay, I know."

On the other side.

Hong Shixiong and others were being examined, and from time to time they turned their heads to look in the direction of the gate of the trading market.

"Hand over your weapons. You are not allowed to bring any weapons into the trading market." An inspector said to Hong Shixiong and the other two.

Hong Shixiong and the other two looked at each other and handed over weapons such as daggers from their bodies.

They did not have any firearms, and the only small pistol was still in the hands of Boss Meng.

Although Boss Meng had not been seen firing a gun, a pistol that did not fire a gun was also deterrent.

After accepting the inspection honestly, they watched the inspectors search the truck with trepidation.

They were worried that the people in the trading market would steal their truck's supplies.

Unexpectedly.

The inspectors only checked and found no dangerous items, so they returned the truck and the food on the truck to them.

Such a truckload of food did not cause any waves in the eyes of these inspectors, and it seemed nothing special.

Huh——

Hong Shixiong and the other two breathed a sigh of relief after getting the vehicle and food back.

It is indeed a big force that does not look down on their little things.

Just now when they were chased here by Boss Meng, they even thought of the worst result, which was to give up half of the food in exchange for the protection of the trading market.

"Go register your information." After the inspection, an inspector said to Hong Shixiong.

Then he pointed to where Liu Jinglue was.

Hong Shixiong nodded and said flatteringly: "Okay, thank you, brother."

Walking to Liu Jinglue's table, two fully armed fighters with guns stood on both sides of Liu Jinglue, guarding Liu Jinglue on both sides.

Liu Jinglue raised his head and looked at Hong Shixiong who was walking in the front and asked:

"Where are you from?"

Hong Shixiong quickly replied:

"The Electronic Factory in the Golden District of Sui City."

Liu Jinglue continued to ask:

"What happened to those people who just chased you?"

When he asked, he stared straight into Hong Shixiong's eyes, as if waiting for Hong Shixiong to answer and tell whether he was lying.

Hong Shixiong hesitated for a moment, bit his tongue and said:

"We followed Boss Meng before, but we wanted to take refuge in the trading market, but he didn't want to, and he has recently been brainwashed by the believers and has become..."

"So, we drove to the trading market. Can you protect us?"

After Liu Jinglue roughly understood the cause, he said calmly:

"We will not interfere in the grudges between you."

"Anyone can enter the trading market. If they want to come in to avoid thunderstorms or trade items, they can."

Hearing Liu Jinglue's words, Hong Shixiong immediately said anxiously:

"We give you food, can you protect us?"

In his opinion, if Boss Meng and his men can also come in, they will definitely cause trouble for him.

At that time, they will also pull him out.

Liu Jinglue heard this and said with some disdain:

"No!"

Hearing Liu Jinglue's rejection without hesitation, Hong Shixiong and the other two felt cold in their hearts.

"But."

Liu Jinglue changed the subject.

"We never interfere in the grievances between survivors in the trading market."

"However, anyone who enters the trading market must abide by the rules here."

"1. You must hand in your weapons when entering the city."

"2. No friction or fighting is allowed in the trading market. Even if there is a grievance, you must go out and solve it. But whoever dares to cause friction in the trading market will be killed!"

"3. No theft or robbery is allowed in the trading market. Those who violate the order will be killed!"

"4. No forced buying or selling is allowed in the trading market. Those who violate the order will be killed!"

Liu Jinglue said the word "kill" several times in a row.

But in the ears of Hong Shixiong and others, it sounded like the sound of nature.

There is such a good thing? ? ?

After all, there are only three of them. To guard a cart of grain is like a child holding ten pounds of gold in his hand.

But such strict regulations seem to be tailor-made for them.

Just imagine that they have grain now and don't have to worry about food problems.

After entering the trading market, even if Boss Meng and his men came in, they would not be able to attack them unless they wanted to face these combatants with real guns and live ammunition.

"Great!" Hong Shixiong couldn't help but exclaimed.

Liu Jinglue asked about their names, ages, jobs before the end of the world, specialties, etc.

After all the information was counted in the Excel spreadsheet on the computer, he took out a piece of paper from the desktop and handed it over.

"These are the management regulations and rules of the Oil City Trading Market. Please read them carefully and don't violate them."

"In addition, you can trade in the trading market now. There are already three survivor teams coming in. You can trade with each other or with our trading market."

Hong Shixiong heard that there was such a benefit.

I always feel a little uncomfortable.

After all, this trading market can provide yourself with a safe environment to avoid thunderstorms and natural disasters.

It also allows them to trade freely.

What's more important is that he has offended someone. According to the current rules, as long as he hides in, there will definitely be nothing that Boss Meng and the others can do against him.

In disguise, it provides personal safety protection for people like myself. Under this kind of protection, the trading market does not gain any benefits.

He's not used to it.

So he asked: "Brother, do we have city entry fees or anything like that?"

"Or is there protection money or something like that?"

He always feels that he has gained a lot without having to pay, which is beyond his knowledge.

At this time, several more transport trucks drove in outside.

Liu Jinglue said quickly:

"Now is a welfare period, and those of you who are the first to enter are exempted from city fees."

"In the future, entry fees will be waived when entering the city, but a certain transaction commission will be charged."

"In addition, if you want to stay in the trading market for a long time in the future, you will be charged a certain basic fee."

"Hurry in, I'm still busy, you should read the detailed rules for entering the city, they are all there."

After saying that, he waved Hong Shixiong and the others away like a fly.

Hong Shixiong and others drove the vehicle slowly towards the gate entering the trading market.

The door opens.

His eyes lit up.

The first impression they got inside was that it was big.

Big!

It was much bigger than they imagined.

What comes into view are thousands of construction workers, who are constructing in an orderly manner.

Changsheng saw Hong Shixiong and others coming in and stopped them.

"Are you the survivors who just came in?"

"Yes, yes!" Hong Shixiong nodded quickly and said.

Changsheng pointed to the southwest corner and said, "You guys go over there for the time being. It's still under construction here and it's a bit messy. Don't run around."

"Thank you, brother."

"Here comes a newcomer, let's go over and take a look." Feng Jinrong pushed Xie Dongming.

Xie Dongming nodded when he heard this and said:

"Anyway, there's nothing to do here in the trading market. Why don't we join in the construction project? I heard that there are also food distributions. Although not as much as they do, at least we can."

"I'll talk to you about other things, and you talk to me about this." Feng Jinrong glanced at him.

He continued: "Okay, let's try it tomorrow."

Crunch——

A car stopped in front of them.

Hong Shixiong got out of the car and saw the people in front of the car looking at the three of them.

So he rubbed his hands and asked quickly: "Brothers, someone just asked us to come over here. I don't know who it is."

Feng Jinrong smiled and said:

"Hey, we are also survivors who came in from the outside, so we don't have to be so polite."

"No one is living in the bungalows here for the time being. You can choose a place to stay by yourself."

After speaking, he pointed to the row of bungalows opposite and said:

"You can't go there, there are already people living there."

"By the way, where did these brothers come from?"

I heard that the group of people on the other side were just like me, they were all survivors who came in from the outside.

Although his attitude was okay, Hong Shixiong was still a little wary.

"The city next door, how long have you been here?"

Feng Jinrong had a smile on his face and looked at the pickup truck behind them that was full of things.

"I just came here not long ago, just two days ago."

"What do you call your brother?"

Hong Shixiong carefully saw Feng Jinrong looking at the car behind him just now, even though the regulations established here did not allow robbery.

But he was still a little uneasy.

"My surname is Hong, bro, where are you?"

"Feng Jinrong."

Xie Dongming saw Hong Shixiong looking at him.

He replied calmly: "Xie Dongming."

He doesn't like socializing very much, especially this kind of socializing that doesn't mean much to him.

"Brother Hong, you just came in. If we come in earlier, we can understand it better than you. Let me introduce this place to you. Hahaha."

Feng Jinrong's hearty laughter easily makes people think that he is a sweet-tempered person.

But in the last few years, Hong Shixiong has encountered many smiling tigers.

Some people smile right in front of you and sell you out as soon as you turn around.

With a roll of his eyes, Hong Shixiong also laughed loudly and said, "Okay, Brother Feng, Brother Xie."

Outside the trading market.

Boss Meng and other people drove their vehicles and returned home in embarrassment.

When he ran out this time, not only did he not catch up with Hong Shixiong, but he was also beaten violently by the guard at the gate of the trading market.

He thought of Zhou Tian's contemptuous eyes and tone just now, which really annoyed him.

He, Meng Tian, ​​had never felt this kind of aggrieved.

In that situation, he could only take a step back.

But.

Take a step back, the more you think about it, the more angry you become!

Boss Meng hammered the seat heavily with his hand.

The subordinate sitting in the driving position was thinking about pleasing the boss while driving.

So he said: "Brother, we will get the place back sooner or later!"

"Don't be angry. Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river. Don't bully young people into poverty."

Boss Meng glanced at him and cursed angrily:

"Have you read too many fucking novels?"

"Can we beat them? Damn!"

"This time I admit defeat."

"Drive quickly!"

The driver's expression was stern, he just wanted to feel relieved and never wanted to hit the muzzle of the gun.

If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have said too much, and scolding him was just an excuse.

Boss Meng remembered the scene of a dozen black guns pointing at him just now, and he felt lingering fear.

Fortunately, I endured it and was able to bend and stretch.

Otherwise it will be really bad luck.

Damn, those people in Oil City are so damn perverted. They have been in the apocalypse for so many years, and they still maintain such a high combat effectiveness.

Don't know how they did it.

Time passes.

Three days later.

There are still six days until the thunderstorm disaster arrives.

Northern Territory.

Third Uncle stood on the wall and looked at the northern affiliated forces in the outer city.

In the past few days, nearly ten forces have poured in one after another.

There were more than 3,000 troops in the city outside the northern border.

There are only four factions that choose to go south to Oil City recently.

There are also seven or eight affiliated personnel forces, but there has been no movement.

Lao Xie stood next to his third uncle and asked:

"Minister, we will return to Oil City the day after tomorrow, but there are still a few forces that have not made any movement until now. Do you want to inform them again?"

The third uncle said with cold eyes:

"No, don't worry about them if they don't come. It's their own choice. We have nothing to do with life or death."

"Besides, since they chose not to come, they either have their own confidence or they still don't believe us. No matter what the reason is, we have no reason to notify them again."

When Lao Xie heard this, he pursed his lips and nodded.

"Understood, Minister."

The third uncle pointed at the members of the Northern Territory affiliated below.

"Have you already explained everything that needs to be explained? Open the outer city wall to them later, and also return the firearms and weapons to them before leaving the day after tomorrow."

Lao Xie replied:

"As I said before, entry into the inner city is prohibited, and the scope of action is limited to the outer city and the outer city walls."

"We also warned them that if we find someone entering the inner city when we return to the north, we will kill them!"

The third uncle nodded and said:

"Okay, you ask the big guys to pack their things, and we wait for one more day. If no one comes in after one day, we will lock the outer city gate!"

The outer wall of the city is very high, as much as fifty meters high.

This is also the reason why Yuan Zhi and the others were able to persist for so long.

As long as they can take advantage of the tall wall, the possibility of surviving this natural disaster is not low.

The third uncle looked at the blue sky and white clouds on the horizon, imagining the scene during a thunderstorm and natural disaster.

His brows were furrowed.

I have a lot on my mind.

The Oil City side must be overcrowded.

I heard Ju Tianrui report on the radio today that the number of survivor teams pouring into Oil City today has skyrocketed!

Two small groups came in only four or five days ago, with a total number of only thirty or forty people.

Three days ago, four or five groups of survivors came in, and the number exceeded two hundred.

Two days ago, three or four medium-sized survivor teams with hundreds of people came in at once, and seven or eight small teams.

One day ago, as if they had been saving up for a long time, more than twenty groups of survivors came in at once.

In just a few days, dozens of teams poured in, totaling thousands of people.

The four northern affiliated forces that went south also had more than a thousand people.

Fortunately, they were worried that no one would come.

Now it seems that there shouldn’t be too many people coming! ! !

After calculations, including combatants, cooperation personnel, the affiliated forces from the North who passed by, and the personnel from the Southern Paradise who came to support, there were nearly twenty new survivor teams.

The total population of Oil City is more than 10,000.

Moreover, as for Mr. Tiger in Southern Paradise, Mr. Tiger will also arrive in Oil City with a large force tomorrow.

By that time, the total number of people in Oil City will exceed 20,000.

It has a larger population than the headquarters of Da Zhangshu Base.

It can be expected that the closer it is to the arrival of a thunderstorm natural disaster, the more survivors will flow into the Oil City.

Uncle San made a simple calculation,

If a thunderstorm and natural disaster comes, it will be in the oil city behind.

Including Lao Yi who came from the north, plus Ju Tianrui and others who were originally in the oil city, as well as many non-staff and collaborators, plus Lao Xie and others who came the day after tomorrow, the total number was only three thousand.

According to the exponential increase in the number of survivors in the trading market day by day, it is very likely that it will exceed 30,000, 50,000, or even more.

I don’t know where these people came from.

It seems that this time the publicity was a bit over-the-top.

There are benefits to having more people.

It is very beneficial to the development of future trading markets.

But this thunderstorm disaster will bring greater pressure to the oil city and trading market.

There are pros and cons.

Uncle San hopes that more people can come, but he also hopes not too many people come.

A mixed blessing.

But as long as we can survive this thunderstorm natural disaster, this trading market will become a success!

(Ask for monthly ticket)

[Seeing that many people say the progress is too slow, I will adjust the plot, speed up the pace, and try to write more excitingly. I want to write out the atmosphere of the end of the world, despair, fear, natural disasters, zombies, and friction between people.

It's a bit difficult, I will try my best!

Thank you for your continued support~
