Zheng Hanbing came out from the side door. The inspection officer Dai Ming took Zheng Hanbing's red number plate and turned on the computer to search for Zheng Hanbing's information.
A local area network has been built in Oil City, which can cover a radius of several kilometers, covering the entire Oil City and trading market.
All computers within this range can share and update information.
Based on the numbers on the number plate, Deming found out the name of their team: Qingtianyuan. There were 26 people in the team. The captain's name was Lin Muguang, and his position before the end of the world was: farmer.
Just the word farmer, and his personal resume is completely blank.
But the vegetables in the baskets in front of him were of extremely high quality. They could grow vegetables of this quality in the apocalypse, and they were grown in places other than the trading market, which was enough to show the cultivation capabilities of this group of people.
At the same time, Xiaoliu was almost done testing the vegetables.
And take out different vegetables separately and weigh them.
A few minutes later, Xiao Liu took out a small list and handed it to De Ming.
"Brother Dai, this is the list of vegetables they sell to us."
Dai Ming took it, checked it carefully and nodded, "Return the basket to them."
"yes."
Dai Ming walked to counter No. 5 and said to Zheng Hanbing who had been waiting outside for a while:
"59 pounds of Chinese cabbage, 0.2 points per pound, 11.8 points.
54 pounds of lettuce, 0.2 points per pound, 10.8 points.
78 pounds of cucumbers, 0.3 points per pound, 23.4 points.
50 pounds of radish, 0.35 points per pound, 17.5 points.
48 pounds of small tomatoes, 0.4 points per pound, 19.2 points.
A total of 82.7 points.”
With that said, he operated the points punching machine and handed over the number plate and the printed small slip.
The small list clearly states the point time, the items sold, the remaining points balance from the last time, and the balance after the points entered this time.
"Check the order. If there's no problem, that's it." Dai Ming said to Zheng Hanbing.
Zheng Hanbing looked at the balance in the order and saw that there were 83 points left. The last time they left the trading market, there were only 0.3 points left.
Selling two hundred kilograms of vegetables didn't even get 100 points, which inevitably made him a little disappointed. This was less than the points he could get in exchange for it at the beginning.
But if he sets up a street stall in a commercial district, the points he will receive will definitely exceed 100.
However, the sales speed of stalls in commercial areas is too slow.
"Next time, you can ask the people you just mentioned who are good at planting to come and talk to me or go to the mission hall to find staff. We have some positions here for people like you who really know how to plant." Dai.
Ming saw Zheng Hanbing looking at the list and reminded him.
After Zheng Hanbing heard what Dai Ming said, he couldn't help but squeeze the small piece of paper in his hand.
He was a little excited.
They are professionals in planting, but they have now settled down in Zhongshan Forest Park.
After thinking for a while, he raised his head and smiled.
"If it's good, I will definitely tell him that this number is fine, thank you."
As he spoke, he shook the small piece of paper in his hand.
Deming smiled and nodded.
Zheng Hanbing took their baskets off the counter and carried them away.
As soon as I came out of Shop No. 3, I walked towards the hypermarket in Shop No. 34.
Shop No. 34 is also the official self-operated store of Oil City.
Various groceries are sold, including daily necessities such as salt, sugar, alcohol, tea, and even watches. You can buy it here.
They mainly come here to buy salt, medicine, and other daily necessities.
Before I reached Shop No. 34, a man suddenly approached me.
"Zheng Hanbing."
"Um?"
Zheng Hanbing turned his head and saw Liu Dongdou, whom he had met several times today. What a coincidence.
His eyes were a little wary, which was quite a coincidence.
He believed it was a coincidence that they had just met in store No. 3. After all, Liu Dongdou also used to sell things.
But after selling the things, he met him again not long after he came out.
He didn't believe there could be such a coincidence, he must have been waiting for them here on purpose.
"What a coincidence." Zheng Hanbing replied, taking a small step back.
When Liu Dongdou saw him retreating, he took a step forward and whispered calmly:
"You're being targeted."
"Ah?" Zheng Hanbing looked horrified and turned around.
"Don't look back!" Liu Dongdou shouted in a low voice.
"Don't look back. Once you turn around and get exposed and involve me, they will know that it was me who told you."
"What's going on? Stealing and fighting are not allowed in the trading market. If they dare to do something here, the inspectors will not let them go!" Zheng Hanbing didn't believe it. He had seen the inspectors kill people with his own eyes.
The regulations here are very simple, just a few.
But the punishment measures were extremely harsh. There was no confinement. After being whipped, they were immediately killed.
"Haha, who said they were going to do it at the trading market? Wait until you leave the trading market..."
"There are so many people, why did they focus on us?" Zheng Hanbing asked in confusion.
Liu Dongdou smiled, "Because you look weaker, and besides..."
"You are carrying a basket on your back and covering it with a black cloth. Aren't you just telling others that you have good things in it? The people from the Golden Tiger Gang specially sent people to follow Shop No. 3 to find some fat sheep that are easier to bully.
....."
"Your vegetables look very fresh at first glance. They are so eye-catching when placed in the trading market. Being able to produce so many fresh vegetables shows that you can grow them... Do you know how tempting this is to many forces?
"
After hearing Liu Dongdou say that they looked weaker, Zheng Hanbing gritted his teeth, Damn it!
"Why help us?" Zheng Hanbing asked.
He didn't believe that there were good people in this world who were willing to take risks to tell him this.
Liu Dongdou said calmly:
"I have a grudge against them, and I'm happy to make them unhappy. Besides, I can tell you how to deal with them, but next time you come in, I want three kilograms of vegetables."
Three pounds of vegetables? No more, no less.
But in order to ensure the safety of the seven of them, three kilograms of vegetables were worth it, and I had to give them to them next time.
"Okay, how to deal with them?" Zheng Hanbing asked.
Liu Dongdou said:
"The order in the trading market is stable, and generally speaking, there is little concern about external affairs. However, a murder occurred recently outside the trading market, which caused a change in the attitude of the trading market.
Let me tell you a recent story: A few days ago, a few people snatched a goat from two other people outside the trading market, and then lined up to enter the city. The two people who were robbed were not happy and chased after them.
Those people want to take it back."
"There was a fight, and the two men were killed on the spot by the four robbers. They carried the goat with human blood into the city."
"The impact of this incident is extremely bad. Think about it, if you worked hard outside to find something that can be exchanged for points, and then returned to Oil City, only to be robbed by someone waiting here, how would you feel?"
"I must be unhappy. What happened next? What was the result?" Zheng Hanbing asked.
"Where are you going now?" Liu Dongdou asked suddenly.
"Shop No. 34."
"Oh, I'm just on the way, let's go that way."
Liu Dongdou continued:
"Later, this matter was reported to the guard of the trading market. Coincidentally, I heard that a department called the Supervision Office was conducting research and issuing questionnaires recently. Of course, I also filled out one and mentioned the matter."
"That night, the four people who committed murder outside the trading market were hanged under the street lights on the central street of the trading market. How fucking awesome!"
As if remembering the scene at that time, Liu Dongdou's face turned red with excitement.
"Immediately afterwards, the trading market issued a law. As long as it is on the black square road outside the trading market, you know, it is the one or two kilometers of black asphalt road outside. As long as it is within this range, no robbery is allowed.
Any act of stealing or fighting will be regarded as a provocation against the Oil City."
After Zheng Hanbing listened, the image of the trading market in his mind grew stronger.
"But, why not just prohibit the survivors in the trading market from robbing and stealing outside? The Oil City is so powerful, no one should dare to violate it, right?"
"hehe."
Liu Dongdou snorted coldly and looked at Zheng Hanbing with a strange look.
"You think too simply."
"Is it useful to ban this kind of thing? It can't be banned! It's impossible for the trading market to waste a lot of manpower and material resources to manage this matter. It's thankless!"
"Besides, this kind of thing is very troublesome to manage, and there are no cameras. If the two parties are fighting, how can the people in Oil City tell which one was robbed?"
"If it weren't for the murder that happened at the gate of the trading market, they probably wouldn't bother to care about it."
"Besides, everyone in the trading market will naturally abide by your regulations. After we go out, why should Oil City care..."
Zheng Hanbing was silent for a long time, and then asked with a solemn expression: "Tell me what you can do?"
Liu Dongdou said in a low voice: "According to my observations during this period, in fact, after you exit the gate of the trading market, it is best to go to the west first. The trading market in the west has the largest number of transport fleets."
"The people from the Golden Tiger Gang are afraid of Oil City. If there is a transport convoy from Oil City, they usually don't dare to take action. After you walk three kilometers to the west, there is an intersection there, so you can run directly to the mountains to the north.
.Remember to run as fast as possible, don’t look back, and run as hard as you can..."
"This way, even if someone is watching you from behind, as long as you get rid of them, you will be safe."
Zheng Hanbing looked at Liu Dongdou, cupped his fists and thanked him: "Thank you!"
Liu Dongdou smiled, and the two of them continued walking side by side.
Soon they arrived at store No. 34. Liu Dongdou didn't stop, "I'm going to the front first. Remember what I said."
After saying that, he disappeared into the crowd.
Zheng Hanbing narrowed his eyes, and the team members who had been following Zheng Hanbing came over and said:
"Brother Zheng, I think he may also have bad intentions. We can't believe it."
"I know, let's buy things first and talk about it later." Zheng Hanbing nodded and replied.
After entering store No. 34, there were more people inside than in store No. 3.
They bought 10 kilograms of salt. One kilogram of salt costs 3 points, and the salt cost 30 points.
Then they bought cooking oil with 5 points. They couldn't afford a diesel generator and needed to use a lamp sometimes at night. They could make do with oil lamps, and they could also use the oil to eat.
In addition, they spent 14 points to buy two long-lasting handheld ultraviolet lamps, just in case they encounter wall-climbing zombies, the ultraviolet lamps can repel them.
A total of 60 points were spent here and there, and there were still 23 points left.
All the things I bought can fit into a basket.
Finally, feeling a little hungry, they spent another 5 points and bought 20 tortillas.
These tortillas can support the seven of them tonight. They have to travel tomorrow, and they can't survive without eating on the way.
In the end, there were only a dozen points left. Zheng Hanbing lamented that points are hard to earn and easy to spend.
In the commercial area, there is a faint aroma of barbecue.
"Brother Zheng, there are many more shops and restaurants in this trading market. The barbecue restaurant I passed by just now smells so good..." Xie Dali looked at the beef in the hands of a pedestrian on the road with some envy.
Chuan, he said while swallowing his saliva.
Zheng Hanbing glanced at him, "What do you want to say?"
Xie Dali wanted to eat it, but he was embarrassed to say it. "It's nothing, I just feel sorry for the changes here."
The business district is very prosperous, but they only have a dozen points left and are reluctant to use them.
After passing many shops, they wanted to go in, but they didn't dare to go in because they couldn't afford the money.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Helplessly, Zheng Hanbing took them around quickly,
Then he took everyone to the East District accommodation building and chose the cheapest third-tier accommodation building.
The seven of them were in a team, so they were assigned to a room.
After entering the accommodation building, Zheng Hanbing looked at the familiar room and saw some changes.
Although there are no beds yet, at least there are windows.
During the day, they carried baskets and each carried dozens of kilograms of vegetables and walked dozens of kilometers, so they didn't carry bedding.
At night I could only sleep against the wall.
There are only seven of them in this room, which is not bad.
Zheng Hanbing brought each of them a piece of corn tortilla, and as they ate the corn tortilla, they felt that the corn tortilla in their hands was delicious after eating wild fruits and vegetables for two months.
A man was eating corn tortillas, stood up from the corner and sat next to Zheng Hanbing.
"Old Zheng, how do you leave tomorrow?"
Zheng Hanbing took a deep breath and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. Did you see someone following us from behind?"
"I saw it. One was taller and the other was wearing a hat. I took a look at it. When we came out of store No. 34, those two people were always behind us. When we came to the living area, I looked at it again.
When we arrived at those two people, Dali also saw them." Feng Cheng said.
Jie Dali, who was eating corn cakes, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, that's what I was just about to say."
"I just saw them downstairs when I was in the corridor."
Zheng Hanbing frowned. He didn't quite believe Liu Dongdou, but the reality was that someone was following them.
After living in the apocalypse for so many years, he naturally knows to be careful about other survivors.
After knowing that he was out, he immediately ran towards the mountain forest. The vegetation in the mountain forest was dense and it was difficult to be tracked.
But...Liu Dongdou was too specific, and his escape route was too specific.
He had every reason to doubt whether Liu Dongdou would let someone set a trap at the location he mentioned.
It is essential to be on guard against others.
After thinking for a while, Zheng Hanbing said to everyone:
"Everyone, go to bed early tonight. We will get up at five o'clock tomorrow morning and go to the gate of the trading market to line up to go out. As long as we go out earlier, the security will be higher."
The trading market has a large population and is very popular. It will attract a lot of zombies at night, and no one wants to camp near the trading market overnight.
When they go out early the next morning, there should be no ambush or traps outside.
