The leader of the Ax Gang looked at the sun in the sky with six fingers and asked the men next to him:
"what time is it now?"
Huo Shi looked at his watch and said, "Ten o'clock in the morning."
"Gang leader, should we leave the trading market next?"
"Why are you in a hurry? Don't be in a hurry. Let's wait and talk later." Six-fingered Shi Shiran said.
This natural disaster was the most satisfying one he had ever experienced.
Not a single member of the gang died. In the past several natural disasters, no matter how big or small, some people died.
Unexpectedly, when I ran into this trading market, no one died.
We survived this natural disaster safely.
and,
They used their own things here to exchange for a lot of supplies that they have been in urgent need of.
It's not a bad idea to come to the trading market.
There were many people who had the same idea as him. Most of the survivors in the trading market had this feeling: had they not entered the trading market, it would have been impossible to survive this natural disaster just by relying on their own strength.
But there are also many survivors who are a little anxious after the thunderstorm ends.
There is no food!
The thunderstorm is over, so we will definitely not be recruiting volunteers. Without food, we will starve to death.
Although you may not be able to find food when you go out, you can always find some wild vegetables and various edible plants to fill your stomach in the mountains and plains.
"This thunderstorm is over, but the doors haven't opened yet, and no notice has been issued. We can't go out!"
"Wait a minute. If it doesn't work later, just ask the patrol to see if they can let us out."
"Are you planning to go out?"
"Yeah, what if you don't go out? Are you going to stay here and wait to starve to death?"
.....
A few hours after the thunderstorm ends.
The third uncle reached a consensus after talking to Li Yu and the second uncle at the headquarters base.
The first batch of ultraviolet lamps will be delivered in two days.
The thunderstorm has just ended and there is a lot to do.
I have been unable to contact the people in the north. I will definitely have to send someone there after the thunderstorm is over.
A long time ago, they had positioned themselves in three places: Da Zhangshu Base, Oil City, and the Northern Territory.
The northern border has high walls and a large area of land, which is suitable for development and planting.
The Oil City can produce oil, and with the establishment of a trading bazaar, it is positioned as a business district, and at the same time as the outpost of the Da Zhangshu Base, it is the representative of the Da Zhangshu Base in the forefront.
The Da Zhangshu Base is hidden behind the Oil City and the Northern Territory. It is a steady and stable place where agriculture and industry go hand in hand.
When the trading market in Oil City develops well, Da Zhangshu Base can follow this model and copy it.
In other words, Oil City is actually a test field and outpost. Once this development model is adopted, the Da Zhangshu Base can also follow suit.
After all, the Da Zhangshu base is the headquarters, so any big moves must be cautious.
People also need to be sent to the northern border to continue the previous transformation process and completely transform the northern border into an agricultural production area.
But now that the thunderstorm has just passed, no one knows whether the thunderstorm will come back again, so we won't send anyone there for the time being.
...
Beep——
The loudspeakers all over the trading market suddenly sounded a harsh sound of electricity.
"Hey Hey hey?"
"Ahem, I am Li Hongqian, the current top commander of Oil City."
As the horn sounded, survivors from all over the trading market looked at the horn and pricked up their ears to listen.
“The following is an announcement for everyone:
1. The thunderstorm natural disaster has passed. This natural disaster is very difficult, but fortunately, we survived! I know that everyone is concerned about one question, when can we leave the trading market.
As we said before, you can come to the trading market whenever you want, and you can leave whenever you want.
However, in order to avoid the recurrence of thunderstorms and natural disasters, and for the sake of everyone's lives, we have decided to open the gate at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Everyone can leave if they want to by then.
In addition, the weapons you handed in before can be taken away when you leave."
Many survivors in the trading market had different expressions after hearing what Third Uncle said.
"You don't want to detain us. This thunderstorm is over. We have to wait until tomorrow..."
"You are really a person. Why do you have evil intentions? You judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. Didn't you hear that just now? You are worried about the thunderstorm coming again. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
"It's good. I want to stay here anyway." The person who said this was Hong Shixiong.
He, Hong Shixiong, has plenty of supplies.
Before the thunderstorm and natural disaster, he left Boss Meng and secretly brought in a whole truckload of supplies.
Boss Meng was afraid of the power of Oil City and did not dare to break in.
He didn't know if Boss Meng and the others were still alive, but it would be troublesome if he encountered them when they went out.
Anyway, he couldn't finish a cart full of food.
Moreover, in this trading market, there are also red light districts, bars, and even some small entertainment venues. You can also buy all kinds of things he wants with food here.
There is no need to worry about someone stealing his food and causing trouble for him.
For him, this place is simply paradise.
He ran out with so much food, but he didn't have the ability to protect the food at all. If he ran out, some of the other trading market survivors who had been eyeing him for a long time would definitely take action against him.
To put it simply, when he goes out, he is like a fat sheep, a very fat one.
Staying in the trading market, he can sleep peacefully every night without worrying about being fucked to death in the middle of the night.
The existence of people like him is also welcome in Oil City.
As long as there is purchase and consumption, merchants must pay protection fees and give a certain amount of profits to Oil City.
This is used as Oil City to protect them and pay for their residence.
There are a lot of discussions in the trading market, and they are all different.
Most people agree with what Third Uncle said.
There is nothing to lose by staying one more day.
Some people wish they could stay here for a while longer. After all, they have not encountered such a safe place in the last five years.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At the door of a certain house, Zhang Shi was sitting under the eaves. After hearing what Minister Li said, his expression was complicated.
He actually doesn't want to leave here.
Keep your ears open and continue listening to the sound from the speakers....
"2."
"The next trading fair, three days later, there will be a major construction project. 2,000 construction workers will be recruited and food will be distributed. The food portion will be the same as the previous volunteers who went to the wall to participate. Registration will start at eight o'clock tomorrow. Anyone who wants to participate
, you can register at Building 3, West District tomorrow."
This news caused heated discussion among many survivors.
After experiencing this natural disaster, they realized how powerful Oil City was and how they could survive such a horrific natural disaster.
and,
Since entering the trading market, the patrols have killed several waves of people, not just one or two, but perhaps hundreds of people in total.
But the more they kill, the more at ease they feel with most of the survivors.
This kind of vigorous and resolute method has put an end to all bad behaviors such as fighting, stealing, and even brainwashing cults...etc.
Staying here, they feel at ease.
Safe! Safe, or fucking safe!
This advertising slogan of the trading market is indeed worthy of its name.
In the apocalypse, sometimes zombies are not the scariest thing, but people.
But in the trading market, so many people were killed, all because of trouble, so that a seed was planted in the hearts of many survivors: You must not make trouble in the trading market, otherwise you will die.
Absolute zero tolerance.
The super good order makes them believe that it is really safe to live here, trade and buy, even build, etc.
After hearing the first news, I originally wanted to run out to find a way to survive and try my luck to see if I could find survivors to eat. But I immediately changed my mind and decided to stay!
But these are only attractive to the bottom survivors.
They are indifferent to some medium and large forces that still have food.
Trade Market West District.
Zhang Shi, who was sitting on the steps under the eaves, immediately ran to Building 3 after hearing the news.
If he wants to line up now, he must join.
My old uncle died here and he has no family left.
He is able to survive until now only because of the volunteer mission issued by Oil City to stop zombies.
While running, he heard the sound coming from the loudspeaker...
“3. The trading market will continue to be improved in the future to provide a complete trading environment.
If everyone goes out, you are welcome to come back here to trade.
In addition, if you meet other survivors, you can help us spread the word."
"4."
"Finally, I would like to give you a reminder."
"Many people may already know that wall-climbing zombies were discovered outside the wall a few days ago. The characteristics of this zombie are: a hard skull, bone spurs on the chest, extremely flexible, and the ability to climb walls.
It is difficult to deal with it head-on alone, and its weak point is the eyes.
In addition, we found that the best way to control this kind of zombie is ultraviolet light."
"Wall-climbing zombies cannot survive in the sun. I hope everyone will be careful when going out. At night, ultraviolet lights can also drive away such wall-climbing zombies."
When the first wall-climbing zombie was discovered in Oil City, it was Zhang Shi who saw it.
I have seen many survivors.
This kind of wall-climbing zombies has probably spread throughout the trading market.
So at this point, no one is surprised.
However, they were a little surprised that Oil City discovered the weakness of this zombie so quickly.
East District, Building 8.
Xie Dongming's eyes flashed after hearing the news.
He was the first person to trade with the trading market. He exchanged food with the trading market for amoxicillin, an antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drug, and saved his wife's life.
"Dad, are we going out tomorrow?" Xie Dongming's son Xie Zihao asked.
Xie Dongming hesitated and shook his head:
"Wait a minute, those wall-climbing zombies are very scary. If you use a UV lamp to go out, you have to be more cautious..."
"But, how come we have ultraviolet lights when we stay at the trading market? They won't give them to us..."
"Have you forgotten the name of this place?"
"Trading market!?"
"That's right! This is a special place where you can trade. Just wait, there will always be something."
"Fine."
Most of their team are experienced outdoor survivors. Xie Dongming participated in an outdoor survival show with his close friends before the end of the world.
They are very good at taking advantage of the mountain and forest environment and can obtain some original food from the outdoors.
For example, they found dried taro or pheasants in the mountains and forests.
For them, it makes little sense to stay in the trading market for a long time.
Only when they go outdoors in the mountains and forests can they use their strengths to obtain food and resources.
It is most suitable for them to wait outside to obtain resources and food, and then come back to trade.
In fact, more and more survivors who are alive today know how to use nature to obtain food.
It has been five years since the end of the world, and most of the edible food has been looted.
In fact, there is a lot of food that has not been discovered, but it cannot be eaten anymore.
Either it was soaked by floods during natural disasters, or the weather was too hot and mold and insects grew.
Many people who don't know how to get food from nature have died.
Survival of the fittest, those who survive more or less have some special skills.
The resources in the wild are actually extremely rich.
Human ancestors originally lived in forests.
They collected wild fruits, captured birds and animals for food, used leaves and animal skins to make clothes, and built nests on branches to build houses.
The forest is the home of mankind, and mankind originated and developed from here.
Plants that can supplement starch: palm core, chestnut, oak, ginkgo, kudzu, fern root...
Plants that can provide a large amount of sugar. There are many types of such plants: such as jujube, persimmon, kiwi, bamboo shoots, etc.
Various wild vegetables that grow on trees, such as: paper towel, walnut flower, elm flower, sophora flower...
Wild vegetables on the ground: purslane, gray cabbage, dandelion, malantou, shepherd's purse....
The roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits and fungi of certain plants are an important type of edible plant resources.
After experiencing the apocalypse, many survivors have learned how to use the resources in the forest to survive.
Although you often have to rely on luck and eat several meals a day, you can still survive.
The thunderstorm disaster has just passed. After the heavy rain, there will be a lot of fungi and ferns. These can be preserved for a long time after drying.
...
“The above is the notice I am issuing to you on behalf of Oil City.
The thunderstorm and natural disaster have passed. During this period, thanks to the volunteers who recruited people to build the wall, we have protected the city together."
broadcast room.
The third uncle finally broadcast the announcement. After speaking, his mouth was a little dry.
He picked up the thermos cup next to him and took a sip to moisten his throat.
The sun shines in from outside.
Through the iron railings, mottled shadows are reflected.
The third uncle put down the thermos cup and twisted his neck, making a clicking sound.
There are a lot of things happening in the trading market.
He had talked with the headquarters base before, and he still couldn't leave Oil City for the time being. He had to wait until the headquarters base sent over the ultraviolet lamp.
He would look at the situation and decide whether he should take Lao Xie and some ultraviolet lamps to the north.
Or, you can let Lao Xie go there by himself.
Thinking of this, the third uncle raised his head, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
I don’t know if anyone is still alive in the North.
After all, this thunderstorm disaster lasted for too long and was too violent.
