309, Global Evolution 11
"Register, name, age, whether you have superpowers, and what direction your pet has mutated."
Outside the Jing City Safety Zone, a group of troops are stationed here to prevent the mutant animals outside the safety zone that are eyeing humans. They patrol vigilantly and have to level the survivors who enter the safety zone. They are very busy.
Fortunately, these soldiers have been strictly trained. Even if there are many people entering the city, it does not seem crowded. It can be said that they are busy and orderly.
Yan Chu queued for more than an hour, and finally it was his turn to enter the city.
"Xingming Yan Chu, good day Yan, Yizhe Chu, age 23, no superpowers, these are my two pets, a mutant golden bear, mutation direction, body size mutation, and a mutant husky, the mutation direction is unknown, and it is highly suspected that it may be edible."
In order to prevent too much sensation when entering the city, Yan Chu did not bring Ju Youqian and Kaixin out this time. It happened that the two of them kept each other company and would not feel lonely.
Kai Xin has always been obedient and would not have any objection to his decision. However, Ju Youqian, who has always been very jealous, was in a bad mood for a while, until Yan Chu promised to sleep with him at night, and then he coaxed the little troublemaker.
At this moment, Xiong Da and Yan Aotian who were beside him were not particularly conspicuous.
Although Xiong Da had mutated, due to the limitation of his original size, he was the size of a normal cat after mutation, which was not scary. Yan Aotian's original form was almost the same as before the doomsday. Huskies were synonymous with funny people before the doomsday, so naturally, there would be no deterrent of fear from his face.
But now many people have a consensus, that is, except for humans, almost all other animals and plants have mutated, but the degree of mutation is different, so if Yan Chu insists that Yan Aotian has not mutated, it will arouse suspicion from others, so he did not say it for sure, but only said that he did not know the direction of Yan Aotian's mutation.
Although in fact, he really didn't know.
"Awoo--"
Hearing Yan Chu praise it for its ability to eat, Yan Aotian responded proudly, then raised his head and waited for the registration staff to praise it.
In order to eat more than Shangju Youqian and Kaixin, it eats super hard every day. Now it seems that the owner recognizes its efforts, and the weight gain is not in vain.
"Uh--"
The staff in charge of registration looked at the fat Yan Aotian and vaguely affirmed its ability to eat. But if the mutation direction is written as being able to eat, it is estimated that the higher-ups will first doubt his work ability.
Finally, after a moment of hesitation, he followed Yan Chu's words and registered an unknown in the column of Yan Aotian's ability.
Now there are many pets of normal size entering the city with their owners. Under normal circumstances, if the owner of the mutant pet intends to conceal the pet's mutant ability, they cannot use tough measures to force the other party to explain, which can easily provoke conflicts between the superpowers and ordinary people.
Although Yan Guohua has sent troops to suppress the situation in the safe zone at the first time, this does not mean that the gap between mutants and ordinary people has disappeared because of the emergence of superpowers.
On the contrary, there are those mutants who have not yet joined the army or concealed their superpowers, as well as a very small number of people who do not obey the military management and take the opportunity to make trouble. Ripples have begun to appear under the peaceful safe zone. It depends on who will break the balance first.
Similarly, the army is not a piece of iron plate. Some soldiers who have stimulated superpowers and those who have just integrated into the army suddenly gain such a supernatural power. How can they not breed ambition? Everyone wants to climb up, and no one wants someone who is inferior to them in every way to suppress them. It is only because Yan Xiu has stimulated the powerful thunder and water dual superpowers that those ambitious people have temporarily dormant, but if he does not have the ability that a strong man should show, there are many people willing to replace him.
The person in charge of registration saw Yan Chu's clean appearance and concluded that he was a person with special abilities. Otherwise, he would not be able to be protected by Xiong Da and Yan Aotian, who seemed to have no ability, if he had not come from outside to the safe zone.
But if Yan Chu did not say it, people would not rush to ask about his abilities. When he registered his information, he put an asterisk after his name, which meant that this person's ability was temporarily in doubt.
After obtaining a temporary ID number in the safe zone, he could receive two meal coupons every day and live in a dormitory for free in the first week after entering the safe zone. After a week, if he did not have enough points, he would be forced to obey labor in exchange for the conditions of his living in the safe zone.
This regulation is different from the news that Yan Chu had heard from the soldiers when he sent Wang Xiuxiu and others back not long ago. It seems that the food shortage in the safe zone is more serious than he imagined, otherwise the official would not have formulated such a regulation to force the survivors to exchange for daily necessities through labor.
"Brother, you just arrived at the safe zone, right? I know everything here. Just give me half a bottle of water or a pack of biscuits, and I can take you to any place you want to visit."
"Brother, do you want to get comfortable? I'm very good."
As soon as he passed the entrance checkpoint, Yan Chu was stopped by a group of people. These people were men and women, old and young, and some of them were wearing extremely revealing clothes. You can tell what kind of business they are engaged in at a glance.
Yan Chu felt a little depressed. It was less than a month before the end of the world. How come the living environment in the safe zone had already become so bad?
"I'll give you a pack of biscuits, and you take me to the mission hall in the safe zone."
Yan Chu remembered that the soldier had said that survivors could go to the mission hall to accept some tasks in exchange for points. Now that superpowers have appeared, with the formation of the team of superpowers, work in this area should be done better. right.
Outside the safe zone, although there are great risks, there are also great opportunities.
A large part of mutated animals and plants are edible. If there is really food pressure in the base, there should be many tasks related to edible mutated animals and plants, as well as some mutated animal and plant specimens and experimental questions. right.
"I know."
The boy, who was only about the height of Yan Chu's waist, did not expect that Yan Chu would choose him. His eyes lit up immediately and he nodded in agreement, fearing that he would agree too late and Yan Chu would choose someone else.
"Uncle, come with me." It can be seen that the little boy was a well-educated child before the mutation came, but now, he has to worry about his livelihood like adults.
"This is your reward."
Yan Chu took out a pack of biscuits and handed it to the boy's hand.
"Thank you." The little boy took the package of biscuits, opened it without thinking, and ate the package of biscuits cleanly without leaving any crumbs under the dim and gloomy eyes around him.
"Here, only what you eat into your stomach belongs to you."
There are troops stationed in the safe zone. Generally speaking, it is relatively stable. However, no matter what kind of high pressure it is under, it is always difficult to completely suppress crime. Although there have been no vicious incidents of murder in the safe zone yet, there are still cases of robbery and the like. Things still happen from time to time.
The little boy is lucky. His parents are still alive, but in order to have the status of staying in the safe zone, they have to accept high-intensity work every day, and the food they earn through work is not enough for a family of three. weight.
The little boy is very sensible. By receiving some survivors who have just entered the city and have food from outside, he exchanges for enough food to feed himself. As long as he is full, his parents' share is actually saved.
This is the valuable experience the little boy gained when he got paid for the first time and happily wanted to take it home to share with his parents, but was robbed by an unknown villain.
The biscuits his uncle just gave him were long-tube wheat biscuits that were enough for his breakfast before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, this amount is enough to sustain his calories for a day. The little boy is very satisfied. He has not had it for a long time. I have never seen such a wealthy survivor.
After all, a month has passed since the global mutation occurred. Now there are more and more mutated animals and plants outside, and there are many people with supernatural powers who are doing evil. Some materials outside the safe zone have been looted by the army. Not all people are rich.
"This is the mission hall. Here, you can choose to team up with other people, or accept the mission alone. The points obtained after completing the mission can be exchanged for food, drinking water and other daily necessities. As long as you have enough points, even Can be exchanged for guns/ammo/munitions.”
The little boy was familiar with Chao Yanchu, and he had said this to many survivors.
"Can I exchange guns/ammunitions/medicine?" Yan Chu heard soldiers say that they could exchange weapons for weapons. He thought they were just some cold weapons that were originally controlled before the end of the world. Unexpectedly, even guns/ammunitions/medicines could also be exchanged for weapons. Among the materials that can be exchanged.
"Yeah." The little boy nodded, seeming to adapt to the situation where other survivors changed their faces when they heard guns/ammo/munitions. "This is to give ordinary people the courage to go out of the city and fight those mutated animals."
Nowadays, the living conditions in the safe zone are becoming increasingly difficult with the arrival of more and more survivors. Some people who have not activated their powers but are desperate will choose to go out of the city together. If they can find a bird that can When the mutant hens came back, they could exchange them for a week's worth of survival supplies. This temptation prompted groups of people to leave the city.
There will definitely be bloodshed and casualties here, but there are indeed some ordinary people who have adapted to a life of fighting mutant animals and mutant plants through experience and wisdom. As the points increase, they can be exchanged for some guns/ammunitions/medicine, or If it were other weapons, the protection would be greater for ordinary people.
In the current base, ordinary people still account for the majority of survivors. Those in power cannot help but think about those ordinary people and give them a hope of life. If even this little flame is extinguished, that would be a despairing thing. .
"Besides the mission hall, are there any other places for bartering in the safe zone?"
In novels, there are always some black markets in the survivor bases of the apocalypse. Those who set up stalls there are not necessarily official people, but there are definitely a group of forces that maintain the operation of the black market, and the things sold there may not be better than those sold by the official ones. The less comes, the less comes.
In the last life, the original person did not leave the safety zone in Beijing until Yan Xiu died. Therefore, he knew nothing about the current situation in the safety zone, and Yan Chu did not know whether the arrival of some butterfly effects would affect the safety zone. The environment in the safe zone has changed.
"have."
The little boy nodded.
"This is your reward." Yan Chu pretended to take out a bottle of yogurt from his backpack, but in fact he took out a bottle of yogurt from the space. The boy had just eaten a pack of biscuits in one breath, and he felt thirsty for him.
"Thank you."
The little boy smiled shyly but brilliantly.
In fact, the pack of biscuits Yan Chu gave him just now was already larger than he expected. Now he was just taking him to one more place, so there was really no need to give him such an extra reward.
But looking at the bottle of yogurt that he used to like the most, the boy couldn't help but reach out to take it.
It tasted sweet and sour. He hadn't eaten it for only a month, but for the little boy, this kind of happiness seemed like a lifetime ago.
"Awoo--"
Yan Aotian was a greedy person. Seeing other children drinking delicious food, he drooped his tongue directly, and his saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth like a small waterfall, wetting his hair.
Look at its useless appearance!
Yan Chu hardened his heart and still didn't take out the yogurt to feed it.
In such a crowded place, if he really dared to take out a bottle of yogurt to feed Yan Aotian, he would probably be immediately targeted as a fat sheep. Yan Chu came here today just to see the current situation of the safe zone and remind Yan Xiu, but he didn't plan to do anything too eye-catching.
"Awoo--"
Yan Aotian looked at Yan Chu hopefully for several times, but didn't see this cold-blooded man moved. He immediately lost the strength to walk and lay on the ground like a spoiled child.
His eyebrows were embarrassed, and he made a coquettish sound by lifting his eyelids.
The boy looked at the yogurt in his mouth, and then looked at the pitiful Yan Aotian.
Before the end of the world, he liked Huskies the most, but it was a pity that his parents didn't let him raise them, thinking that there were too many bacteria on the small animals, which was not good for his health.
"If you don't leave, I'll let Ju Youqian play with you when I get home." Yan Chu stood still, looking at the spoiled Yan Aotian coldly and threatened.
This little thing is so shameless that it has taken a fancy to the yogurt in the child's hand. Seeing that the child is soft-hearted, it can't wait to wag its tail to greet him.
"Awoo——"
Standing up and straight, Yan Aotian took the lead and walked in the direction the little boy had just pointed.
What is playing with Ju Youqian? It is obviously being played by Ju Youqian. It is not as stupid as the little hamster. When it is played, as long as the owner smiles at it, it will be like taking hormones and immediately become lively.
"It's here."
The little boy was relieved to see that Yan Aotian was not playing tricks. He quickly drank the bottle of yogurt in his hand and put the yogurt bottle in his pocket.
When we get home, we can pick up the shell. There must be a lot of yogurt on the paper wall inside. Then let mom and dad taste it.
It's not that the little boy is stingy, but if he doesn't do this, his parents may not even be able to add yogurt shells.
"This area is managed by General Xu's brother-in-law and General Bai's nephew. It is said that there are also some supernatural people involved. Because of this relationship, the army turned a blind eye to this area."
The little boy said that he heard it from others. At his age, it is also very remarkable that he can find out these things.
"It is said that gold is also accepted here, but the exchange rate is very low. I don't know the specific price. Uncle, you have to ask the person in charge here yourself."
Now the RMB must have become a pile of waste paper. The common currency in the safe zone is points. However, as gold in troubled times, there are still some people in the black market who are willing to accept gold in exchange for items, but the price is very, very low. Before the end of the world, a thick necklace made of pure gold may not be exchanged for half a pack of noodles.
"Also, some stall owners here seem to be difficult to talk to... Uncle... You should pay attention to it yourself."
The little boy thought about the pack of biscuits and a bottle of yogurt that Yan Chu gave him, looked around, and whispered to Yan Chu.
The people who run the shops here are all related to the big guys in the safe zone. They may not be interested in some small things, but if the things you give are too tempting and they can't eat them, they may do something black-eating-black.
These people are backed by several generals in the base. If your background is not strong enough, you will be easily suppressed. At a time when everyone is busy with their own affairs, you may not even be able to stir up a drop of water.
Yan Chu's eyes flashed. It seems that similar incidents have occurred in this black market in the past month, otherwise the little boy would not have specifically reminded him like this.
"Okay, uncle knows, thank you, little brother."
Yan Chu squatted down and touched the head of the sensible little boy.
"Chichi--"
Yan Aotian squatted on the ground listlessly, squeezing out two sneers with his teeth.
Uncle and brother at one moment, the master is crazy, and he can't even figure out the generation.
But Big Bear, who was tied to a dog leash for walking small dogs before the end of the world, didn't think so much. He just felt that his god was so gentle and kind, and was completely different from the fierce Ju Youqian, the shameless Yan Aotian, and the hypocritical Kai Xin.
Being with such a beautiful god every day, he almost forgot his rat brother, the rat queen, and the rat people.
Wait, he is still the rat king!
From Yan Chu's gorgeous beauty and the aura of the god, Big Bear rarely sobered up a little, and then he looked around again. Isn't this the upper floor of his huge palace below? Is he going home?
*****
Separating from the little boy, Yan Chu memorized several shops in the black market because he found that the managers of these shops looked familiar to him, and many of them had appeared in his original memory.
Holding Yan Aotian and Xiong Da in hand, Yan Chu lowered his eyes and walked through this street, which was obviously more lively than other places. Unexpectedly, the brothers Yan Xin and Yan You were really capable. They let Liu Zhen take care of her so quickly. Dad's group of people got into the black market.
You must know that the black market in a base is often the best-informed place. To grasp the black market in a base is to grasp the most informed source of information in the base.
What makes Yan Chu even more impressed is that in the eyes of the outside world, the real principals of this black market are still General Xu and General Bai. Who makes their close relatives in this black market, only Yan Xin and Yan You, a little bit They don't even show it. I'm afraid no one knows their relationship with this group of superpowers yet.
It's really clever, I'm afraid even Yan Guohua and Yan Xiu don't know it yet.
Because they control the most power in the base, the black market is most likely just a compromise between the Yan family and the Xu family and the Bai family. As long as the black market affairs do not become too big, in order to avoid suspicion, neither Yan Guohua nor Yan Xiu will interfere in the black market affairs, so as not to It caused a complete backlash from the Xu family and the Bai family, which led to civil strife in the base. The second room of the Yan family was sure of this. Relying on Boss Liu and his group, who did not know the connection, they took the opportunity to infiltrate the dark forces in the base.
No wonder they took complete control of the new base so quickly in the last life. It turns out that the foundation has been laid from now on.
Knowing a secret about the second roommate of the Yan family, Yan Chu was in a good mood and felt that this trip was really not in vain.
"A Chu!"
Yan Xiu never thought that his younger brother would come to him.
The good brother with the invisible brother attribute ran out of the camp. Not far from Yan Chu, he slowly slowed down his pace, controlled his emotions, and tried to show the appearance of a serious and dignified brother. .
But the corners of his mouth that kept turning up revealed his good mood.
"Why are you here?"
"No, I mean to welcome you home."
Yan Xiu was secretly annoyed that he couldn't speak, and he didn't know if the first words he just blurted out would misunderstand his brother and misunderstand him as not welcoming him back.
God knows that more than anyone else, he hopes that his brother will always stay by his side, and then watch his brother have children and live a peaceful and happy life.
"My cat found this outside the villa area. It is probably a mutated pet rat. I am here to remind you to pay attention to these huge groups before the end of the world. They are likely to be hidden under the base. If every If they all mutate to the same size as the one in my hand, or larger, it will be a disaster for the base. "
In the last life, the rats suddenly launched a fierce offensive, catching the base off guard. Coupled with the command of the leading rat king who had inspired supernatural powers and was as intelligent as humans, it led to the disastrous defeat of mankind. In this life, if we can If you prepare in advance and take precautions in advance, such a tragedy may not happen.
Thinking of that cute little boy, Yan Chu hoped that his arrival could change something. At least if the Beijing City Safety Zone was good, it could change the outcome of many people who might have died in the previous life.
"This discovery of yours is very important."
Yan Xiu couldn't help but feel moved when he looked at his younger brother who came here specifically to remind him.
Sure enough, his brother was hard-spoken and soft-hearted. In fact, he still couldn't let go of him and his father.
"I'll leave this hamster to you."
He handed Xiong Da's dog leash to Yan Xiu, and when he turned around, Yan Chu didn't forget to add: "By the way, I went to the black market today and saw Yan You and the owners of several shops entering one. In the lane, people are talking and laughing, but they don’t know what the relationship is.”
He didn't go into too much detail because he knew that after hearing this, Yan Xiu would definitely go find out for himself.
"Are you leaving now?" Yan Xiu's heart dropped. He thought that if his brother came this time, he would be able to follow him home.
"Zhizhi——"
Xiong Da's heart also froze. His god, are you going to lose him?
Trying his best to move his short legs, Xiong Da pulled on the rope and struggled to hug Yan Chu's calf.
