Chapter 27 Small Settlements

"Damn it, we need to get out of this intersection quickly," I urged them.

But they no longer had the energy to answer my words. As if they had lost half their lives, the two of them put their hands on each other's shoulders and walked step by step on the mottled concrete road. I know this is ridiculous, but we have no direction now. To be honest, we have no direction.

, in fact, we got lost. It was so circuitous here that I felt that every place and every corner seemed familiar. You have seen the beautiful scenery in the urban-rural fringe, yes, just like now, those places where

The old and moss-covered floor stone tiles, as well as the old and cracked cement pillars. If you look carefully, you can still see that they are covered with mushrooms.

Not far from here, the smell of the end of the year hits your nostrils. I mean the smell, not the atmosphere. The smell of the market here is very strong, and of course, so are the houses. It is very similar to the smell of some kind of rotten plant, but I can't put it in words.

.Who knows how many years this place has been here? If we are the only customers here, then it really depends on the opinion. Walking in such streets and alleys, we have no goal and direction. You know, this place

It is the origin of all gang organizations in the city. Of course, they are not bad people. Now it is our turn to pay attention to them. Don’t forget our purpose of coming here, which is to find a way to get enough money.

Food and weapons.

This sounds like a dream. How can there be such a good thing for us to make money? But smart Lao Lan and Wei Lao can come up with quite good ideas: He encouraged me to steal the food of the local snakes. I also know that this is nonsense.

, but at least everyone here is dead now, and I haven’t seen a single person on the street. Will there be anyone here? What will the missile and the inexplicable disease do to such a remote location? And here will

How many people died because of this? I guess not too many. Then, the idea they put forward was also very clear, that is, to find a way to find the place where the gangsters stayed, or the market, record the location, and think

There is a way to transport it away. As for weapons, you have to find a black market arms dealer in Dongcheng District.

But where should we go to find it? Dongcheng District is not that big, and the whole area is like a maze. The main roads lead to alleys, but the alleys extend in all directions. For the civilians who have lived here for many years, it can indeed be said that it is a maze.

All roads lead to Rome. But we are different. Some people are born to live in Rome. They don't have to take every road to get to Rome. But we are miserable, right, I mean literally miserable.

, has no other meaning.

The most important point is: there is no one here, not even half a person here. Having said that, why do I care so much about there being people here? The city is already very big, so if you bump into someone by accident, it is reasonable, right?

If you say that there are only a few of us in such a big place, that would be even more outrageous.

Then, we accidentally walked into a market.

It's not a matter of luck or coincidence, it's just because there are markets everywhere in this place, and small stalls and shop fronts are all over Dongcheng District. You see, it's a good thing that those stalls are still in the same place. If you want me

To describe this kind of market, it's very simple: you can imagine this place as a square, and stalls are randomly placed inside the square. There are things like pork, dried fish, and even vegetables.

However, there is nothing here now, and I don't expect there will be anything to eat up there.

"It's unlucky for us, there isn't even a vegetable sprout in this wretched place." I looked at the empty stall with great dissatisfaction and said.

"It's hard to say, we have never been to this place before." Wei Lao pointed to a nearby store, his eyes scanning the rows of buildings, seemingly looking for something.

"There are no big supermarkets here, only small shopping malls." I put an end to Wei Lao's thoughts. He just wanted to drink water. He looked at me, not sure whether he should laugh or cry.

"Damn it, there's nothing here except shit, urine and rats!" Lao Lan often complained to me during this period. He walked carelessly on the road, kicking away cans and stones on the ground. But the two of them

You're right, there really is nothing in this place, and food and supplies are often reserved only for a few lucky people.

"So, where are the gang strongholds you mentioned? If we don't find a good idea, we will starve to death here sooner or later!" I accused Lao Lan.

"I'm not so sure," he said, "I'm hopelessly stupid and I can't think of any good ideas in my damn brain right now."

"Oh, God"! Wei Lao patted him on the shoulder and added: "He seems to be dehydrated."

"But I'm not going to give in to you, you have to listen to me," I said to the two of them a little angrily, because the joke was not funny. "The first thing we need to find is food and water. This place is very remote.

, no matter what, there will be some food that has never seen the light of day, but we just haven’t used our brains to get it”!

Food, I keep thinking about this word in my mind.

Remember how I evaluated these two people? They were confident, but brainless. They had to rely on me to think about many things. I think they just wanted to rely on me to find food, and then find a place to live in peace of mind.

But why am I not like that? How easy it is to live like this! But for example, on this day when we were wandering, they just kept chewing the things in the backpack, and the food in it would only become less and less.

Soon, there was only water left in the backpack.

So we left this small busy city and headed further east. Along the way, I had no intention of observing the cultural atmosphere nearby, nor did I pay attention to the conditions on the roadside. Even when a mouse crossed the street, I didn't even want to move my eyelids or eyeballs.

Finally, I stopped in a small square with small-scale greening and a few medium-sized trees. Then, I took a fancy to a relatively large store and smashed it with a mechanical stick.

The glass door broke in like a rogue.

Isn’t there food here? Look at the bits and pieces of snacks on the shelves, everything from spicy bread to spicy bread. But it’s all food. Even mosquitoes, no matter how small they are, are still meat. But our Wei Lao and Lao Lan

But they looked down on these things. They followed me in with their heads held high and strode forward. They found what they wanted without even using their hands. But I have never seen them like this. These two came here.

They went to a store just for a bottle of water, yes, just for water. In the end, they didn't even take food at all, and just packed several bottles of water and drinks in their backpacks.

I watched with great interest as they poured water into their stomachs. After the two guys wiped the sweat from their foreheads with the backs of their hands, they finally woke up. Maybe it was really because of dehydration? Who knows.

"My dear friends"! Lao Lan finally said, "I remember where the gang settlement is"!

It's funny, I thought to myself, they are talking more and more nonsense today.

"The little gang settlement is around here"!
