Chapter 1673 What? Will It Delay My Earning of 065 Points a Day?
Chapter 1673 What? Delaying my earning of 0.65 points a day?
The night is like a heavy curtain, wrapping the doomsday world tightly.
Outside the towering wall, there are dense zombies standing.
Their roars come and go, like ghosts singing in the night.
The sky is low, as if pressing on people's heads, and it is connected to this desperate land.
There is no moon, no stars, only heavy dark clouds like an ancient curse, blocking all the light of hope.
The air is filled with the breath of death and unknown fear, which is suffocating.
The commercial area inside the wall is bustling with people, coming and going, various hawking sounds, neon lights flashing, a lively scene.
Inside and outside the wall, it is completely two worlds.
A wall isolates the terrifying zombies outside and provides safety for people in the trading market.
Trading market, residential area.
Building 78, Zone C, Room 205, second floor.
Liu Rui watched Zhang Shuzhen holding her daughter. He shook some cornmeal paste in the thermos and fed it to his daughter with a spoon.
"It's great. Although you can't light a fire here, you can actually buy hot water with points." Liu Rui sighed.
Zhang Shuzhen nodded and said, "You didn't go to the commercial area. It's almost the same as the night market before the end of the world. It's very prosperous."
Liu Rui fed the last mouthful of cornmeal to his daughter. Seeing her licking her mouth with her little tongue, he felt more and more guilty.
This is the only time in half a month that his daughter has eaten enough, and the only time she has eaten something that can be called food.
But she is not even 1 year old yet!
"Thank you, Shuzhen. If it weren't for you, I don't know what to do!"
Along the way, thanks to Zhang Shuzhen taking care of his daughter, otherwise he, a rough man, would not know how to take care of his daughter.
Zhang Shuzhen smiled and said, "Why are you being polite to me? Besides, this is Sister Lili's child. She used to take good care of me."
After the daughter was full, she fell asleep.
The little baby was crying, but was forced to stop crying because of the environment.
Liu Rui stood up and walked to Xu Feng.
"Brother Feng, have you guys gone out to see if there is any way to earn points?"
The 5 points that Sun Dali lent them were all used to buy tortillas, which would not last for a few days.
They must earn points as soon as possible so that they can continue to stay in the trading market.
Xu Feng thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow we will go to the task hall in the north district to see if we can find something we can do."
"Okay."
Xu Feng stood up and walked out the door, and Liu Rui followed him.
The two stood in the corridor, looking at the building opposite.
The building opposite was very close to them, so they could see clearly what the people on the opposite side were doing.
They were still a little uncomfortable with the coming and going of people in the corridor.
They had been in the apocalypse for a long time, but this was the first time they had seen so many humans.
Generally speaking, the more people there are, the more zombies there are, and the more dangerous it is.
The two looked around and observed.
After a while.
Xu Feng suddenly said: "I heard from Sun Dali that there are more than 100,000 survivors in the trading market, and they have been here for several years. I don't know how they survived the thunderstorm disaster."
"It's really great," Liu Rui said with emotion.
"Let's do the same as before today. Take turns on duty. Don't relax your vigilance for the time being. Let's learn about it for a few days first." Xu Feng urged.
"Okay."
"Talk to Li Da later." Xu Feng added.
"Okay, I'll go find him now."
They have just entered the trading market and are still a little uncomfortable with life here.
They have been in a dangerous environment and their nerves have been tense. Suddenly one day they tell you that you are safe.
Not used to it is a normal reaction.
This is what many survivors who enter the trading market for the first time will experience.
At the beginning, they will remain on alert outside.
They are afraid of being attacked by survivors in other rooms and worried that the wall will be broken by zombies.
But after staying for a few days, they will slowly relax their vigilance after finding that nothing happened.
Especially after understanding the management regulations of the trading market and past illegal cases, they understand that the trading market is really safe.
Here, the cost of violating the management regulations is too high.
Stealing, fighting, once discovered, they will be killed, there is no room for mercy.
The cost of crime is too high, and normal people generally will not take risks to do such things.
Especially now that the trading market is recruiting workers, most people can earn points to exchange for food, so they will not violate the regulations.
The gain is not worth the loss, there is no need.
That night, they tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
With an excited and uneasy mood, everything in front of them is like a dream.
Yesterday, I slept in the basement of a dilapidated house, listening to the occasional zombie sounds outside.
And now I can only hear the voices coming from the next room.
It was an extraordinary night for them, but it was just an ordinary night for the trading market.
The commercial district is still prosperous, the bars are still noisy, and there are still bursts of shouting in the arena.
The next day.
Oil City, dormitory building.
Xiao Hu woke up from his sleep, took a deep breath, and got up slowly.
Rubbing his eyes, he shouted to Chang Ze and Xiong Hong on the opposite bed:
"Get up!"
Carrying a towel and toothbrush, I opened the door and whirred——
A gust of cold wind blew in, which made him shiver, who was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt.
It's getting cold again.
The sky is still dark.
The street lights opposite and the lights in the corridor were on.
He put the washbasin and toothbrush on the table. Seeing that Chang Ze and the others hadn't gotten up yet, he went over and lifted their quilts.
"Hurry up, get up!"
Chang Ze was sleeping soundly when the quilt was lifted off and the cold wind from outside blew in. The coolness made him wake up instantly.
"Captain, it's so early." Chang Ze climbed up and put on his coat skillfully.
"Damn, it's getting cold again." Xiao Hu cursed, put on a coat and ran out to wash up.
Some time ago it was still 20 or 30 degrees Celsius, but now it is estimated to be only about 10 degrees Celsius. Even at the hottest time at noon, it is still less than 20 degrees Celsius.
Especially at night, it becomes only a few degrees.
After washing up, Xiao Hu and others packed the bedding and put daily necessities into their personal backpacks.
As members of the transportation brigade, they travel outside all year round and are highly mobile.
In addition to having a fixed bed at the headquarters base, they have no fixed beds in the North and Oil City. They sleep wherever there are vacancies.
After washing up, Xiao Hu looked at the time, six o'clock.
There are still two hours to go.
It's getting very late now, so setting out before seven o'clock is the same as setting out at night.
Go to the cafeteria for breakfast, and then go to the team to make final inspection preparations.
Depart on time at eight o'clock.
It is a relatively easy way to go from Oil City to the headquarters base.
They can still have a good sleep tonight because they can reach the Wu City military base.
It's very safe there too.
Xiao Hu had been stationed there for several months and knew the situation inside very well.
When he walked out of the cafeteria, he bumped into Li Yu.
"City Lord, are you so early?" Xiao Hu was a little surprised.
"Um."
Just seeing Xiao Hu, Li Yu reminded:
"You have to return to the headquarters base today, please pay attention to safety."
"yes!"
"Go ahead."
The two parted, and Li Yu walked into the cafeteria.
There were not many people in the cafeteria. It was still relatively early and many people hadn't gotten up yet.
Li Yu walked to the window and said to the staff inside;
"Bring me some polenta, um, and some pickles."
The staff did not recognize it was Li Yu, but skillfully handed him the porridge and pickles.
When he looked up, he suddenly saw that it was the city lord, and he was shocked.
"Chengcheng City Lord."
"Are you so sleepy?" Li Yu asked with a smile.
The staff member was dozing off just now, probably because it was so early in the morning.
Winter is coming and people tend to feel sleepy.
"I, I, I just"
"Haha." Li Yu smiled, took the porridge and left.
North District Administration Building.
The conference room was filled with smoke.
Like a fairyland.
There were more than a dozen people gathered in the room.
Lao Luo rubbed his eyebrows and patted Ju Tianrui, who was sleeping on the table.
"Lao Ju, wake up, wake up, it's done, take a look."
Ju Tianrui woke up from his deep sleep. He couldn't bear it anymore after staying up until three o'clock yesterday, so he lay on the table and squinted for a while. Unexpectedly, he squinted until the next day.
I slept on the table, and when I woke up in the morning, I felt sore all over my body, as if I had been beaten.
After his brain shut down for a few seconds, Ju Tianrui regained consciousness.
Dragging the stool to Lao Luo's side, he took the computer from his hand and looked at the detailed report written inside.
Lao Luo stood up, walked to the window, and opened the window.
Crash--
The fresh air comes from outside.
The thick smoke in the room blew out.
"They are all a bunch of old smokers." Lao Luo said after taking a deep breath of fresh air.
After a few minutes.
Ju Tianrui's voice came from behind.
"Lao Luo, I haven't found any problems after looking at it. The efficiency is really good."
Lao Luo turned his head, looked at him with resentment and complained:
"Did you sleep well?"
Ju Tianrui said with some embarrassment: "I was too sleepy last night. I just wanted to take a nap for a while."
Lao Luo walked over and sat down with two panda eyes.
"Your kid slept so soundly last night. I didn't wake up even after I called you several times, and you snored so loudly!"
"Ahem."
Ju Tianrui changed the subject, "Let's print out the report. It's almost dawn. Let's quickly hand the report to the minister so that we can implement it later."
"OK."
Lao Luo nodded, turned to Ding Meng and said:
"Xiao Ding, go print out the report in triplicate."
Eight o'clock.
The sky was overcast, and the sky seemed to be covered with a thick layer of gauze dust.
It's hazy and can't be seen clearly.
Xiao Hu and Zuo Ruxue led the transportation team and drove out of the trading market.
This time, there was no motorcycle escort with sidecars, all were replaced by cars.
In addition, in order to enhance the strength of protecting the convoy, several armored vehicles and explosion-proof vehicles were added.
In addition, they have increased drone patrols.
There are six drones cruising in the air at all times.
Scattered around the convoy, front, rear, left and right, even searchlights were installed on drones.
It was cloudy now, and the visibility was not very good. When encountering some valley sections, it was difficult to see clearly without turning on the lights.
The gate of the trading market now opens at 8:30.
But the transport team can not follow this regulation.
They have to hurry and go to the Wu City military base.
Half an hour after the transport team left, at 8:30.
The gate of the trading market was officially opened.
The workers who had been waiting in line here for a long time walked out under the command of the supervisor.
When they walked out of the trading market, they were surprised to find that the ultraviolet light on the wall behind them was still on.
"What's going on? Our fence is only opened at night and should be closed during the day! Isn't this a waste of electricity!"
"Who cares? Maybe the staff forgot to turn it off, or maybe it's because the light has become dim recently?"
"It's impossible that they forgot to turn off the switch. They won't make such a low-level mistake. I always feel that something is wrong."
"It's time to go to work. It has nothing to do with us."
"Why is it okay? We are all working outside. If..."
Before he finished speaking, the foreman in front shouted at them:
"Hurry up, what are you guys dawdling about!"
The few of them didn't say anything more and ran towards the foreman.
The buffer city wall was built normally, but today the guards protecting the construction site were twice as many as before.
Buzz buzz buzz--
Four helicopters flew out in the air.
On the construction site.
He Liangwei looked at the four helicopters with a thoughtful look in his eyes as they left.
He looked at the UV lights on the fence that were still turned on, and then he looked at the gun-holding guards with their backs to them not far away.
A gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Meng, I feel something might have happened."
Zhang Meng, who was tying steel bars, raised his head and asked:
"What's the matter? Why do you say that?"
He Liangwei thought for a moment and said:
"It doesn't feel right. Brother Meng, you see, the ultraviolet light on the wall would be turned off at 8 o'clock before, but it's already past 9 o'clock now."
"If the guards upstairs forgot to turn it off, they would have turned off the ultraviolet light, but they didn't."
"So what?" Zhang Meng wiped his sweat, pulled him, and asked him to tie the steel bars together.
"Don't you stand and talk, if you keep standing, you will be accused of being lazy later."
He Liangwei thought for a while and said:
"Wall-climbing zombies! The only purpose of the ultraviolet light is to defend against wall-climbing zombies. Now that the ultraviolet light is turned on, isn't it because you are worried that there will be wall-climbing zombies climbing up the wall?!"
"According to this logic, there may be wall-climbing zombies during the day!"
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful that others report you for spreading rumors." Zhang Meng shouted in a low voice.
He Liangwei sighed and said, "Brother, didn't you notice anything unusual today?"
"What's unusual?" Zhang Meng asked.
He Liangwei explained:
"First, the ultraviolet light was still on at nine o'clock. Second, the guards' defense force has doubled today. What are they defending? Third, the four helicopters that just flew away."
"I can understand the first two, but what does this have to do with helicopters?" Zhang Meng asked.
He Liangwei touched his chin and said:
"According to my observation, the helicopters in the oil city flew out before, mainly in two directions, north or south. This may be because they are going to other branch bases."
"But today they flew in four directions. If you think about today's anomaly in connection, I think these four helicopters flew out and are related to the wall-climbing zombies."
"I boldly speculate that now someone may have discovered the wall-climbing during the day, and then told the oil city, and the oil city began to take this series of countermeasures and sent people out to confirm this matter."
Zhang Meng gasped.
"You mean, there may be wall-climbing zombies around at any time?"
"Yes." He Liangwei nodded.
Zhang Meng frowned and continued to work.
He Liangwei saw Zhang Meng like this and asked in confusion: "Brother, don't you have anything to say?"
Zhang Meng didn't even raise his head and said calmly:
"What's there to say, work!"
"Even if the wall-climbing zombies come out during the day, will it affect my daily 0.65 points?"
"If the sky falls, there are tall people to support it. The guns in the hands of those guards are not for free, and the oil city is not for free. Don't worry about it. They must have a way to deal with it. We work hard to earn points. The hard truth is."
He Liangwei was silent for a long time after hearing this.
Great wisdom appears foolish.
He helplessly found that what Brother Meng said was right.
Even if he guessed the truth, what can he do.
