Chapter 276: Looking for Someone
Zhang Xiaowen also felt that what Mofang said was right. They were just a group of rag pickers. There was no other way. With fewer people and the shutdown of facilities, even a screw was not so easy to produce, not to mention cigarettes, which were spiritual food of little value to survival. It would be more important to get some salt or medicine with that energy.
Squeak——
The sports car stopped in the middle of the road, and the car window was lowered.
"Excuse me, is your place far from here? Where is it?" Zhang Xiaowen stuck her head out of the car window and shouted to the search team.
"Yo! It's a girl driving a sports car. Come on, come down and talk to the brothers. We haven't touched a girl for a long time. I don't believe you..." Before the man finished speaking.
Bang!
A bullet flew past the guy's neck almost close to his neck. Even the skin on his neck felt the sharp wind. If it deviated a little bit, there would definitely be a big hole in his neck. The group looked at the sports car and found that the beautiful woman was looking at this side impatiently with a pistol in her hand.
"Sorry... sorry... it was a misunderstanding just now. We are all from the refugee camp in M City. The refugee camp is just 15 kilometers ahead by the river..."
"Why didn't you say it earlier? It's a waste of effort."
The engine roared, and the sports car rushed out and headed straight for the refugee camp that the man mentioned. The term refugee camp was well used. What's the difference between the current situation and refugees? Instead of trying to get a good omen or a good omen by making up some shitty and flowery name, it's better to say it directly. It's not shameful. It's shameful to swell up your face and pretend to be rich.
According to the clues, Mofang used the satellite map to find the most likely location to build a camp, stepped on the accelerator and ran all the way, the engine sounds were almost connected.
Like other camps, the closer to the camp, the more vehicles and search personnel there are. Some drove, and those who had no gas had to walk on their own. Some people walked back with a bag of things, because the things in the near distance had already been collected, so they had to walk a long distance to find the needed supplies. It was also possible that they would work hard for a day and get nothing.
Zhang Xiaowen in the car began to get nervous again. She sat in the co-pilot and looked ahead motionlessly, observing everyone's face carefully to find someone familiar.
"Don't worry, we haven't entered the camp yet, I'll help you watch."
Zhang Xiaowen nodded, still nervously watching the poor survivors coming and going outside.
The crowd was getting bigger and bigger, and the Cube had to slow down and follow other vehicles slowly towards the camp gate. By scanning the Cube, it was found that there were about 30,000 survivors here, covering a large area, and the overall layout could be slightly standardized. Similarly, the water problem was not easy to solve. Many people were washing clothes in the river next to the camp. Not far upstream, people were using plastic buckets to draw water. A little further down was the sewage outlet. There were no pipes, only dirty and smelly drainage ditches.
Spring plowing had begun in the fields in the distance. No matter if you were a white-collar worker, a senior executive or an entrepreneur before the end of the world, you had to farm if you wanted to survive. Unless you could eat mud and wood and not die, you had to work.
Fortunately, the public security here seemed to be at least good. When entering the gate, the first timers only needed to register their names and other information. The traffic arteries guarded by military soldiers were very orderly, and no one wanted to rob the sports car. After registration, the Cube and Zhang Xiaowen entered the refugee camp in City M.
The house was not bad, at least it was not a shack. Most of them were made of rough bricks with a layer of rainproof cloth on top, so at least they would not be blown away by the strong wind.
After several inquiries, they found the place that was said to be the survivor registration office. Zhang Xiaowen went to find out if her parents were also here. Unexpectedly, the so-called registration office itself could not find the rosters. It was purely an idle position with a name tag and no salary. Zhang Xiaowen was so angry that she almost threw a grenade inside.
Bang! Zhang Xiaowen closed the car door angrily, her eyes red.
"We can only search around in the camp. Leave this to me. At least I can see it much faster than you."
"Those people are so annoying! They are so confident to hold an idle position! That bald guy also asked me to work for him, bah! What kind of person is that!"
"Don't be angry, there are such people everywhere, let's go and search slowly."
Starting the engine, the magic cube was ready to search in the ordinary area. Before leaving, a clean and tidy bald man came out of the small house of the registration office and walked towards this side.
"Girl~ I see you just came here and don't know anything, I'll let you come to work here, uncle just wants to recognize you as his goddaughter, you see..." Before the bald man finished speaking.
Buzz——!
The wheels accelerated suddenly, and the dirt and dust splashed all over the bald man's face as if a bucket of mud had been poured on his head. In the blink of an eye, the magic cube had already driven far away, and the bald man was so angry that he jumped up and down and cursed, and he didn't know where he got a white handkerchief to wipe his face, and the ordinary survivors around wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh.
"Well done! I really want to shoot him!"
The magic cube sighed that this woman was getting more and more violent. She was just like chewing gum. Can't she just chop people? The machete has not really been used in many battles since it was manufactured...
In the broken and dirty camp, a sports car drove back and forth on every street. The magic cube carefully compared the face shape, height and other features, but it didn't find anything until noon. A large part of the remaining camp had not been searched. The workload was huge, and the detection and scanning device installed in the headlights was a little hot.
Have a simple lunch and continue searching in the afternoon.
…………
Around five o'clock.
The survivors in the camp, whether they were working or searching for supplies, have returned. Everyone went to the meal point to receive their own dinner, two rough corn tortillas and a bowl of cabbage soup. In order to prevent someone from snatching the food, each meal There were soldiers with guns and ammunition everywhere to control the order of the scene. The guns were loaded with bullets. If someone was looting, they would definitely shoot.
"Wen, why don't you go get a piece of dinner?"
"not in the mood."
I am really not in the mood, not to mention the anxiety of not finding my parents, I just lose my appetite just looking at the rough food, but for now, having food and hot soup is almost like heaven.
The sun was gradually setting. Zhang Xiaowen leaned on the hood of the engine in a depressed mood and looked at the people eating. She quickly scanned the faces with goggles, but there was still no news.
"Xiaowen?"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd called Zhang Xiaowen. In an instant, the Rubik's Cube and Zhang Xiaowen's goggles quickly locked the face of the person named Zhang Xiaowen with a circle. After a quick comparison, they found that he was 70-80% similar to Zhang Xiaowen. He was a 27 or 27-year-old girl. A woman with a sallow complexion and thin muscles. If it weren't for the scan comparison, I wouldn't be able to see any resemblance.
