Apocalyptic waste

The buildings in the Baixia Base are very special, almost all of them are earthy gray low bungalows like the defensive walls.There are also two-story buildings, but the number is very small, and they are sparsely distributed all over the base very regularly, like a flock of chickens.According to Baoya and others' explanation, these second floors are where the base works. The building in front of me is dedicated to receiving newcomers, and there is also a place where tasks are released, food, and evolution fluid are exchanged.Because the base is relatively large, it is divided into several areas, and each area has related institutional settings.

These houses are neatly arranged, with wide roads running through them, forming a regular well shape.Bungalows have courtyards, and some have no courtyards, but the defenses are average.It is said that because there is a law enforcement team at the base, there is almost zero tolerance for vicious acts such as murder, robbery and rape among the survivors on the surface. The bases are all saved.It is precisely because of this that the atmosphere of the base is not bad.Of course, private intrigue and some petty theft cannot be eliminated, and there is no manpower and material resources to take care of it, and it is not necessary.

And the most special thing is that at regular intervals there will be a huge earth stone pillar rising from the ground, the closest two meters, the widest no more than ten meters, just like the telegraph poles before the end of the world, the height is the same as the defense wall of the base, There is a wire mesh on it, covering the entire base.I don't know what kind of material the silk weaving the net is made of, it is slightly white and transparent, and it does not affect the lighting in the base.

The man said... that man's name is Liu Jie, and Liu Jie said it was to prevent flying beasts.The most annoying thing about Baixia is not the ordinary mutated beasts and zombies, but the flying beasts, especially the gold-addicted flying beasts, which cause a lot of damage every time they come, and the casualties are not many, but they always bring metal Something is broken.That's all for the rest, but without a car, how can they go out to get crystal nuclei, they can't go on foot.You must know that the nearest cities are thirty kilometers away, and all the time is spent on the road, and it is not safe.So in the end the base came up with this method, not to mention that it could completely block the mutated flying beast, but it could be blocked for a while so that people could be prepared.Moreover, the existence of the stone pillars reduced the turning space of the mutated flying beasts. Even if they broke through the wire mesh, they would lose their flexibility in flying in the base, making them easier to deal with.The reason why the houses in the base are built so low is also for this reason.

"The houses here can be rented or bought, and you can also ask for a piece of vacant land to build yourself. The vacant land is provided free of charge. It will definitely cost you to hire someone to build it, but you can do it according to your own wishes. If you want to live here for a long time in the future, you must buy it directly Or it is more cost-effective to build. If you decide to build it yourself, you can live with us first." Before entering the small building, Liu Jie explained the specific situation.

The reason why he is so attentive is not selfish.Nan Shao and his party, apart from Li Muran, a woman, and Zhang Ruiyang, a child, the remaining four are middle-aged men, and they can escape from the mutated gold-addicted flying beasts, so their strength is definitely not weak.But after all, there are few people, and in the end, one must choose a force to join.He hoped that he could win the moon first and recruit people into the team.Even if you can't, you can make a good relationship.

Several people in Nanshao looked at me and I looked at you. After asking about the price of renting and buying a house, they finally decided to rent a courtyard.They had some other purpose, and lived with Liu Jie's team. It was inconvenient for them to do things, so they didn't consider it.The reason why it is rented instead of bought is not because it is just a temporary residence and there is no need to buy it, but because there are not enough crystal nuclei.

The worst house is a single room, just a place to live, not to mention comfortable, you need 1000 crystal cores to buy, and only [-] cores to rent in January; the higher level is a two-bedroom and three-bedroom suite, the price is [-] taels The price ranges from one thousand to fifty to rent; the toilets of these two types of houses are all outside, shared by about [-] households in one area.The higher level is to have a courtyard, which can also be divided into large, medium and small courtyards, with built-in toilets, the price is [-] to [-], and the rent is [-] to [-].The crystal nucleus mentioned here refers to the crystal nucleus of ordinary zombies. If it is replaced by mutant animals, plants and mutant zombies, it will be converted according to the size and preciousness of the species.

It can be seen from this that the base is encouraging survivors to kill ordinary zombies.We must know that in the last days, the role of ordinary corpse crystals has become tasteless, and it is already dispensable for most awakened people.The base also uses this as the basic currency, of course not because it is needed, but because it is easy to obtain and has a large amount, which can not only take care of the lowest level of people, but also clean up a large number of zombie groups.

The three evils of the last days, zombies, mutated creatures, and harsh weather.There is no way to change the climate. Mutated creatures are regenerated, and it is impossible to completely eliminate them. There are only zombies. If you kill one, you will lose one. After a long time, you will always be able to kill them. In that case, you can also remove the same threat for human beings, and you can concentrate on fighting mutations. biology.

"It's just a few of you, just rent a suite, why bother to live in that expensive courtyard, you can buy a small single room for five hundred at once." Although Liu Jie was a little disappointed, he couldn't move Take it back, but still kindly remind.

What Nan Shao and the others wanted was a small yard with [-] crystal cores. Apart from the kitchen and living room, there were five rooms, which was indeed more than enough for them.But to be honest, ordinary corpse crystals are not of much use to them. Most of the time, killing zombies doesn't bother to dig them out. That is, I heard Teng Jin say that ordinary corpse crystals can be exchanged for evolution fluid here, so I got some temporarily.If it wasn't for the insufficient quantity, they would have planned to buy the small yard.If this base is really good, after all the dust settles in the future, it will definitely come and go frequently, and it would be good to have a place to stay.

"There are women and children in the team, and there is a courtyard wall to separate them for safety." Everyone understood Liu Jie's kindness, so they pleaded.

Seeing their explanations like this, Liu Jie stopped persuading them. After all, the crystal nucleus belongs to others, and how they want to spend it is their own business.Of course, it can also be inferred from this that Nan Shao and his party should be quite strong, otherwise they must not be so extravagant.

The reception area for newcomers is a large hall, separated by a waist-high earthen wall into the inside and outside. Inside is the place to receive staff, with a stove, desks, chairs, and some rice noodles piled up in the corner.It was empty outside, nothing but a staircase leading to the second floor.

There was no one in the outer hall, and the two receptionists sat inside, chatting and chatting while warming themselves by the fire.What is surprising is that both of them are middle-aged men, not women or the elderly and disabled who need more light work.

Seeing Zhang Yi and his party coming in, the two stopped talking and stood up.

"Hey, there are newcomers coming at this moment, but it's really not easy." One person laughed.

The two responded neither enthusiastically nor coldly, neither condescendingly nor overly attentive, they just received them according to procedures.They asked everyone's name, age, where their abilities came from, etc., and recorded them one by one. Even the only girl in the team, Li Muran, they didn't take a second look, but when they saw Xiao Yangyang, their expressions softened a lot.

"The child is good, take care of it." The person who spoke at the beginning solemnly reminded him.

Zhang Yi and others were a bit puzzled. It wasn't until they came out and heard from Liu Jie that although there were more than 15 survivors in the Baixia Base, there were very few children under the age of [-]. The total number was less than [-]. The following is less than a hundred.In addition, although men accounted for the majority of the survivors, there were not a few women. Many of them formed partners with each other, but so far there has been no case of pregnancy. The reason is that they do not want to give birth and use contraception, or they are too psychologically stressed. The change, or the environmental impact of the end of the world, cannot be determined for the time being.But if human beings want to continue, they need the injection of new blood after all, so children become very precious.

Thanks to Zhang Ruiyang, in addition to two days' worth of rice, noodles, vegetables, and coal, they also got two bedding, two apples, a can of milk powder, and half a pack of candy.The person who gave them the things didn't say anything, but according to Liu Jie, the thing that Zhang Ruiyang got was for two people, probably because there were few new survivors, especially children, during this period, so The other party gave them some more.Fresh fruits and powdered milk candies are relatively rare items even in Baixia Base, not everyone can get them.Even if it is exchanged with a crystal nucleus, it is difficult to exchange.As for the bedding, it was not included in the distribution, perhaps because the weather suddenly turned cold, and it was specially given to Zhang Ruiyang to avoid freezing the child.This shows that Baixia Base attaches great importance to children.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel better about the base, but because of the orcs, they still had a cautious attitude in their hearts.

"Will someone pretend to be a newcomer to cheat the gift?" When heading to the rented yard, Shen Chi looked at the card in his hand that looked like an ID card, and couldn't help but wonder, and asked.After all, there are more than [-] people in this base, who can remember so many faces.When applying for a card, the other party only recorded the identity information, but did not leave an image, so the effect is very limited, and fishing in troubled waters cannot be prohibited at all.

"Yes." Liu Jie replied.He took the initiative to take Zhang Yi and the others to rent a house, and the receptionist didn't send anyone to lead the way. "But not many. The things you get are enough for two days, and you can't lose them if you get caught. The base often turns a blind eye to this. If you are really forced to go this way, generally Just let it go, but if it is found that you are capable and just greedy for petty gains, you will be forced to do coolies. As for the time, it depends on the number of people pretending to be. The more people there are, the longer you will be coolies.” Speaking of this, he laughed, probably thinking of the fate of those people.

"Would it be too wasteful for two middle-aged men to guard the place where newcomers are received?" Shen Chi asked again.

"Of course not." Liu Jie explained, "Because our base didn't set up a checkpoint at the exit, the people who just arrived can fight all the way here. Constrained by the rules, it is easy to cause trouble. This reception is said to receive newcomers, but in fact the real function is to suppress the unruly people and smooth out the temper of the newcomers. And people like you who do not cause trouble, Of course you can’t see that side of them.”

After listening, Zhang Yi and others suddenly realized that the position of the receptionist of the Baixia Base was not for everyone.

While talking, the car turned two corners, drove into an alley, and stopped in front of a yard.On the left and right of the yard are small courtyards of the same pattern. If the house number is not marked on it, it is easy to go to the wrong door.

"You guys settle down first, and I'll send someone to take you to buy some needed things later, and at the same time get familiar with the environment, otherwise you won't be able to find anything you want to do." Liu Jie didn't enter the door, and after they got out of the car, , Leave this sentence and your address, and let someone drive away.They had been out for two days and were very tired and needed to go back and rest.

Zhang Yi thanked him again and again, watched the car leave, and didn't turn around until he couldn't see him at all, then took out the key and opened the door.

The yard is more than 20 square meters, and the ground is very flat, surrounded by a wall that is half the height of a person, so that people outside may not be able to peep.The house is empty, there is nothing but a big kang, if you want to live here for a long time, you have to buy a lot of things.There is an earthen stove in the kitchen, probably because it can burn firewood when coal is not easy to get.The toilet is a squat pit, which can be flushed with water, which is better than a bungalow without a small courtyard, at least you don't have to go outside to squeeze the public toilet.

Although they didn't plan to live here for a long time, everyone still felt a little bit emotional, just like the house buyers felt an indescribable sense of belonging when they saw the house they were going to buy.This may be something long-term wanderers long for.

Fortunately, everyone did not forget the purpose of coming here, they put their things on the kang, and let Li Muran start looking for someone.

Li Muran's mental power can easily cover the entire base, but it is not easy to find a person among the many houses.However, after using her mental power for a long time to detect, she also found out her experience. First look for places that are closely guarded and important at first glance, and then look for other places if she can't find them.

However, after a while, she gasped, with a surprised expression, and her mental strength dissipated unconsciously.

"What's the matter?" Song Yan, who had been guarding her all the time, asked.

Li Muran shook his head, did not answer immediately, but released his mental power again, extending to the place he had detected before, and then his expression changed from surprise to shock, and finally it was inconceivable.

Just as the doubts in everyone's hearts became more and more intense, she withdrew her mental power, first glanced at Song Yan who was staring at her, and then turned to everyone.

"There is a white stone arch in the center of the base, with only the door frame, and a flying dragon cloud pattern engraved on it." She said.

Everyone was even more puzzled. They didn't understand why she said this, but they knew it must be very important, so they all listened quietly. Even Zhang Ruiyang stared with big eyes and pricked up his small ears to listen attentively.

"The gate is set in a square, and there are many guards around it. If I go around the gate with my mental power, I can see the flat ground of the square and the surrounding houses. But if I pass through the middle of the gate, what I see is good. There is a large mountain, with orchards, fields, cattle, sheep and livestock. Some people are farming and some are grazing. It is like a paradise. It is snowing outside, but it is not affected at all inside. Some trees are blooming, and some The fruit is bearing fruit, and the same is true in the fields. Some places have just planted rice seedlings, while others are being harvested. It doesn’t look cold at all, but it’s hard to tell what season it is.”

Everyone was dumbfounded, just like listening to the Arabian Nights.After a while, Song Yan stretched out his hand to touch her forehead, and asked in a deep voice, "Tired?" Could it be that he fell asleep in that short while?
