"Come on, come on, the last four mooncakes are here, the last four are available while supplies last!"
"Okay, now only the last three pieces are left!"
Many people gathered at Xie Dongming's barbecue restaurant. Zhu Ziming stood on the steps next to the door. There was a small table in front of him, with three mooncakes placed on the table.
"I want them all!" Nobita squeezed through the crowd and shouted loudly.
Nobita ran out of the Water Dragon Club bar in despair. He originally wanted to go back to the dormitory building first, but when he passed by a barbecue stall, he noticed that the barbecue restaurant was actually selling food, and he stopped immediately.
The corner of Zhu Ziming's mouth raised, "Okay, one moon cake is worth 7 points, three pieces is worth 21 points, please give me the number plate."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.
"No!? How come mooncakes cost 7 points each? Aren't they 5 points?"
"The price has increased, so you just want to say whether you want to buy it or not?" Zhu Ziming didn't explain much. People who have mooncakes on the market are unwilling to sell them, and there are a lot of people who want mooncakes.
Nobita hesitated for a few seconds, gritted his teeth, and remembered the arrogant face of Brother B from the cold-blooded army just now, and said cruelly: "Okay, I'll give it to you!"
Anyway, the boss also wants to buy it. As the boss said, now this mooncake is not just a mooncake, but also a symbol of status.
As a large force in the trading market, other forces have mooncakes, but they don't, which makes them look very lackluster.
This is like a boss doing business before the apocalypse. Other bosses are driven around by private cars, Mercedes-Benz or Rolls-Royce cars, but my own boss can only travel by bus and subway. This shows that he is not strong enough.
Although 21 points is a lot, I have to buy it now.
Zhu Ziming looked at the number plate handed over by Daxiong with a smile on his face. He handed the number plate to Wen Qian behind him and asked him to operate the point punching machine to deduct 21 points.
Then he handed the three mooncakes to Nobita.
After returning the number plate to Nobita, Zhu Ziming did some calculations. He bought 23 moon cakes and only spent 46 points by virtue of the discount for level 4 personnel.
In addition to leaving six mooncakes for themselves to eat, the other 17 mooncakes were all sold.
Among them, 10 pieces were sold for 5 points. The other 7 pieces were sold at a price of 7 points after finding so many people wanted them. Unexpectedly, they were also sold.
Once in and out, you will earn a net profit of 65 points.
This time, I got dozens of points without doing anything, which is great.
"Brother Zhu, you are so foresighted. I didn't expect that someone would want all 7 points! It's too exaggerated. What are you trying to do? I'm afraid you're not a fool..." Wen Qian approached Zhu Ziming and asked with some confusion.
road.
Zhu Ziming was in a good mood and replied with a smile:
"There are only so many mooncakes, but our trading market has too many people. Let's just do a simple calculation... It's definitely not a loss for level 4 personnel to buy mooncakes with 2 points. There are so many level 4 people, most people will definitely buy them.
, then those Level 5 members of the Water Dragon Society who have a lot of points will definitely want it too..."
"That's why I dare to win 23 mooncakes without hesitation!"
Speaking of this, he had a proud look on his face.
Wen Qian looked at Zhu Ziming with admiration, "Brother Zhu is awesome!"
.......
The next day.
Mid-Autumn Festival.
The vast majority of survivors in the apocalypse have no concept of holidays, whether they have holidays or not.
Although they know that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, those who should work still have to work, and those who should go out to search for supplies still have to go out...
Third Uncle and Li Zhengping still did not choose to return to Da Zhangshu Base.
Originally, I just used the trading market as a test, but I didn't expect that the trading market would develop so well.
In the past, Oil City was just a sub-base dedicated to providing oil to the headquarters base. At this time, due to its better and better development, more and more people were sent from the headquarters base as reinforcements.
At this time, Oil City has become an extremely important presence among the forces of Da Zhangshu.
Since the strategic position of Oil City is becoming more and more important, there must be a heavyweight here to control it, so the third uncle chose to stay.
Before dawn, Zheng Hanbing and seven others lined up outside the gate of the trading market.
But when they got here, they discovered that they were not the first to come.
There were dozens of people lining up in front of them, all of whom had left the trading market early.
"Brother Zheng, it seems there are quite a few people who have the same idea as us." Xie Dali came over and said.
If you come early and queue up, you can go out early, avoid the crowds and reduce trouble.
Zheng Hanbing looked at the moon in the sky and glanced down at his electronic watch.
"5:14, there are still two and a half hours until the door opens..."
This means that they have to stand here for more than two hours. Once they leave, they have to queue up again.
No one dares to jump in line at the trading market because the patrol officers will teach you how to behave.
Due to the extremely severe punishment, these survivors who stayed in the trading market showed extremely high civilized conduct.
It's not because of how high their own qualities are, but because the punishment is too severe for them to bear.
Time passed by minute by second, and it came to 7:30 in the morning, half an hour left before the trading market opened.
More and more people gathered outside the gate, and even four lines were lined up hundreds of meters away.
"Brother Zheng, the two people who followed us yesterday are here again. You see they are staring at us, the one wearing the hat on the right..." Feng Cheng patted Zheng Hanbing in front of him and said.
Zheng Hanbing glanced at the direction Feng Cheng was talking about with his peripheral vision, and sure enough he saw a man wearing a peaked cap looking at them.
There was also a tall man standing next to the peaked cap.
Zheng Hanbing's heart sank, these people were chasing after him.
"It's okay, don't pay attention to them, Lao Feng, please send a message to the back, asking everyone to follow me immediately after leaving the Wengcheng gate and run as fast as possible!"
"Okay." Feng Cheng nodded and passed on the message.
Tap tap tap!
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind them.
I saw Cao Le leading a team of hundreds of people to the gate.
Seeing their uniform movements and the cold black firearms hanging on their chests, everyone in the queue stepped aside.
There was a lot of discussion among the survivors.
"What a great card!"
"Put on that skin and shoulder that gun, and so will you."
"Haha, it's not that easy."
"The door is open, the door is open."
Rumble——
The gate opened with a bang, and the survivors were ready to move, but they were blocked by a row of guards in front of them from entering the urn city.
The inspectors and registration personnel entered the urn to inspect the equipment and stood at their corresponding positions.
After everything was ready, Liu Jinglue picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted Cao Le, "Captain Cao, you can open the gate of Wengcheng over there."
"Besides, Xiaofeng, you can let people out over there."
After Xiaofeng and Cao Le received the news from Liu Jinglue, Cao Le immediately opened the gate of Wengcheng.
The more than 20-meter reinforced concrete electric gate, weighing several hundred tons, slowly opened.
On the other side, the survivors who were queuing up immediately walked into the barbican after seeing that they could go out.
There are four exits in total, so it was Zheng Hanbing's turn soon, and it was relatively easy to go out.
Some people can go out directly without bringing any contraband when they come in.
But when Zheng Hanbing and others came in, they brought some cold weapons with them, so they had to wait for a while.
But there are very few people who enter the trading market without cold weapons. The vast majority of survivors need to have a handy weapon at least outside, so that they can fight back if they encounter zombies.
Since they arrived early, there were only a few dozen people in line in front of them.
Soon, they received their machetes and daggers.
After they got the dagger, they trotted all the way to the exit.
Zheng Hanbing ran towards the east as fast as possible, and the other six people followed closely.
At this time, the Golden Tiger Gang, who was eyeing them, was still queuing up behind them, and they hadn't even reached the line to retrieve the supplies.
"Second brother, they ran out, what should we do?" the man wearing a hat asked.
"Damn it, don't take any weapons. Take the express lane and don't take anything." A short middle-aged man's face turned cold.
He walked out of the team with a dozen people and ran directly to the express lane.
This express lane is specially prepared for those who do not carry contraband.
After living in the apocalypse for five or six years, most of the survivors have killed zombies. There is a big difference between having weapons in hand and without weapons.
They didn't bring any weapons, so it was difficult to deal with those who had retrieved their weapons.
When they hurried to the gate, they saw Zheng Hanbing and his gang running several hundred meters away.
The short middle-aged man looked at Zheng Hanbing walking away and cursed: "Fuck!"
"Why did they get out so early?"
"We saw someone approaching them yesterday."
"who?"
"Liu Dongdou!"
"It's him again. Why does this little brat always ruin our good deeds? No, we have to deal with him next time! Send someone to keep an eye on him. I won't believe that he won't leave the city."
At this moment, Cao Le walked over with a gun in hand.
"Qiu Lao Er."
"Hey, Captain Cao, good morning..." A smile immediately appeared on Qiu Laoer's gloomy face, and his face changed very quickly.
Cao Le looked outside, then looked at Qiu Laoer and his group.
"Leaving the city?"
"Uh..." Qiu Laoer hesitated. If he left the city now, he would definitely not be able to catch up with Zheng Hanbing and his gang.
"Not coming out."
"Then why are you standing here? Blocking the road?"
Cao Le's eyes were sharp, "I'm warning you, if I see your Golden Tiger Gang killing people and looting goods near the trading market, there will be no need for your Golden Tiger Gang to exist!"
As the captain of the gate guard, he stays here every day and sees a lot of people and things, so he naturally understands the ins and outs of this place.
Qiu Laoer's back molars were chewed to pieces, and he wanted to say that it's none of your business!
You have so many oil city management companies??!
But he really can't afford to offend Oil City. Oil City is undoubtedly the overlord of this area, no one else.
Moreover, Oil City's behavior is extremely ruthless, so if you follow their rules, you'll be fine.
If you don't follow their rules, you will die.
Qiu Laoer lowered his head and his eyes were full of coldness.
The moment he raised his head, his eyes became clear again.
"Oh, Captain Cao, look at what you said, our Golden Tiger Gang abides by the rules of our trading market the most. You really misunderstood us."
"Oh, really? I received a report about you."
"Report?" Qiu Laoer's brain was spinning wildly, thinking about which robbery he had left alive.
"Be honest, if I see you killing people and looting goods around the trading market, I will kill you!" Cao Le said calmly.
It doesn't feel like a threat, but more like a statement of fact.
But this way of speaking gave Qiu Laoer a greater sense of oppression.
"Don't worry, hahaha." Qiu Laoer forced a smile and led his men back to the trading market.
Oil City's attitude is very clear. I don't care what you do outside...
But if you grab goods and kill people under my nose, it will be regarded as a provocation to the trading market.
........
The other side.
Zheng Hanbing and the other seven people used all their energy and ran madly towards the mountains and forests to the east.
The reason why I chose the east side is because the mountain forest on the east side is closest to the gate.
A few minutes later, they ran into the forest.
Zheng Hanbing looked nervously in the direction of the trading market, his heart almost beating out of his chest.
When he saw that no one was following him, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Huhu——
"Let's go, climb over this mountain first, and then take the path back." Zheng Hanbing said to the panting companions next to him.
Everyone nodded and followed Zheng Hanbing up the mountain.
.......
Beep——
A burst of noise suddenly sounded from the loudspeakers everywhere in the trading market.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lao Luo's voice came from the speaker.
"Notice of a penalty:"
"It is now discovered that the third-level personnel Mengzi and Xie Dongling received bribes from the Speeder Party..."
"The punishment is as follows. The third-level personnel Mengzi and Xie Dongling's current position will be removed and reduced to the fifth-level personnel. Each person will be fined 50 points. In addition, the speedster party will be fined 500 points and will not be able to buy fuel at the trading market for a month!
"
"The above, I hope you will be vigilant about yourselves!"
Trading bazaar, residential area.
First-class housing, building No. 3.
This is the best housing in the trading market, and it is basically used by Level 3 non-staff personnel.
The housing management staff and Shen Xiaoxiao came here.
"Mengzi, Xie Dongling, you heard the broadcast, don't come to the gas station again." Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them, his eyes full of anger.
She still trusted these two people before,
Unexpectedly, these two people stabbed me in the back, causing me to be implicated and scolded.
The housing manager of the trading market also said:
"Have you packed your things? Do you want to continue living in the trading market?"
According to regulations, level 5 personnel are not qualified to live in first-grade housing at all.
Although Level 4 personnel can live there, they will have to pay more points.
Mengzi and the others were originally Level 3 personnel and could live for free.
Mengzi's eyes were red, their faces were dark, and they looked like they hadn't slept all night.
Since being arrested yesterday, they have been waiting for the results today.
Now that the results are processed, it feels like bad news.
After hearing the words of the housing manager, Mengzi said in a hoarse voice: "We still want to stay in the trading market and change... to third-level housing."
Now is different from before. From now on, they will not have a stable minimum income, no assigned jobs, and no free housing.
Especially since I was fined and deducted 50 points.
But no matter what, the upper management got around them and did not deduct all their points.
The other four people in the same dormitory looked at the two of them and sighed.
"You two really are, if you had known this, why would you have done it in the first place!"
Xia Tian said with a bit of hatred:
"Lao Meng, Lao Xie, I really don't understand you two. We already have enough. Why take such a big risk? What about the two bottles of wine? If it doesn't work, you can just buy it yourself with points.
ah!"
Xie Dongling said in a hoarse voice: "That's a twenty-year-old bottle..."
As soon as he said this, Xia Tian almost went over and slapped him twice.
"Will you die if you don't drink?? A bottle of wine will kill you! You two are such idiots!"
Xie Dongling almost cried, "We knew we were wrong. We were obsessed at the time and thought it would be okay to cooperate. Now we really know we were wrong."
"Damn it, I'm done with it, you two are having such a great time!" Xia Tian was so angry that he directly opened the door and left the dormitory.
The other three roommates were too lazy to talk to Mengzi and Xie Dongling.
After they left, the house manager said:
"Let's go, I'll arrange housing for you."
From first-level free housing to third-level paid housing, the environment has become much worse, and there are also charges.
When a person falls from Level 3 to Level 5, the benefits, status, quality of life, etc. will be completely different.
