Chapter 1668 The begging singer, I have important information!
Business district.
Lao Mazi and others were standing at the intersection of the street, with people coming and going around, some going in and some coming out.
"Come on, let's go in and take you to buy food." Lao Mazi said to Xu Feng and others.
"Okay." Xu Feng nodded.
Lao Mazi took Xu Feng and others into the business district. Everything in the business district seemed new to Xu Feng and others.
Six years after the end of the world, they have never seen such a place.
They couldn't even imagine that such a place existed, with a huge flow of people, people queuing up to buy items, and even shops like barber shops, bars, restaurants, and car repair shops.
This is almost the same as before the end of the world.
Xu Feng and others were in it, as if they had traveled to the days before the end of the world.
In the days before the end of the world, there is no need to worry about zombies, no need to worry about natural disasters, and no need to worry about dying in the next second.
Looking at everything in the business district, Zhang Shuzhen couldn't help but shed tears.
All this moved her so much.
She didn't expect to see such a scene in her lifetime. Such scenes only appeared in dreams.
But now, it appeared before her eyes alive.
Silent tears fell down.
Li Da, Xu Feng and others walking in front did not notice it, but Wang Fang, who was walking side by side with her, saw it.
"You...what's wrong with you?" Wang Fang asked worriedly when he saw her crying.
Zhang Shuzhen choked and said:
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just so touched."
When Wang Fang heard this, she sighed and said no more.
After going through so many hardships, suddenly arriving at a safe place like the trading market will indeed cause drastic changes in emotions.
Along the way, Xu Feng looked around and asked Lao Mazi some questions from time to time.
"Brother Ma, who owns all the shops here?"
"Some are officially self-operated, and some are opened by the survivors themselves, such as the Water Dragon Club bar, which is the property of the Water Dragon Club."
"Brother Ma, what does Tingfeng Tower do?"
"Well...this is a place that will make you happy, but the consumption there is very expensive. I will introduce you to other channels someday to save money."
Xu Feng understood instantly, smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Forget it, we can't guarantee food and clothing right now."
He used to be a man who had no worries about food and drink, and his family owned a mine. However, an apocalypse made him completely reborn. He lost all his bad habits and learned about responsibility.
I also learned to cherish everything I have now.
Lao Mazi smiled and said:
"Keep warm and think about lust. You will know after a while, hehe..."
...
They walked and chatted, and finally arrived in the middle of the street.
In the center there is a man singing with a microphone.
"Why does this person look so familiar? He seems to be a star from before the end of the world."
"It doesn't really look like it. It doesn't look like it at all."
"It really looks like..."
.....
The middle-aged man was singing a song, and there was a hat placed next to him. It looked like a street singing formation.
However, no matter how hard the man sang, no one threw anything into his hat.
Not even half a tortilla.
It’s the end of the world, some people are chasing stars, but they are just chasing the bodies of actresses.
How is it possible to chase male stars...
People in the apocalypse are extremely realistic.
Either you can solve my food and clothing problem, or you can solve my lower body problem.
Xu Feng and others just glanced at each other and passed by.
They didn't stop to watch. They didn't know if they could stay in the trading market yet, and they didn't have the heart to care about others.
soon.
They arrived at Shop No. 2 in the business district.
Shop No. 2 has the most people, with queues of more than ten meters at all five windows.
Even the people queuing up went to the door of other people's stores.
"This is it. You can buy tortillas here." Lao Mazi led them to the shortest line.
"Okay. Brother Ma, how much does the food in this trading market cost? Where does their food come from?" Xu Feng asked.
Lao Mazi curled his lips towards the No. 2 store, "A piece of corn tortilla costs 0.25 points, and the multigrain tortilla costs 0.3 points. This thing is very solid, and one piece is enough for one person to eat."
"As for the food you asked about... I don't know. Anyway, Oil City has great powers, so they must have a stable source of food."
"Is this food safe?" Xu Feng asked worriedly.
"Hey! As you said, it's no problem for so many people to buy it. We've all been eating it for so long, and there's no problem at all."
"Then...is there any specific way to get points?"
After thinking for a moment, Lao Mazi said:
"It would have been better if you had come earlier. The buffer city construction site is recruiting people. You can go to the mission hall tomorrow to see if they are still recruiting people."
"By the way, don't you know how to repair cars? Oil City is now recruiting a large number of car repair workers. You can go and give it a try."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Ma." Xu Feng said gratefully.
"Why are you being polite to me?" Lao Mazi waved his hand in a very grand manner.
After queuing for ten minutes, it was finally their turn.
Lao Mazi took out a white number card and handed it over.
"50 tortillas, thank you."
The staff inside quickly took out 50 tortillas and put them into 10 paper bags.
Then operating the machine deducted 12.5 points.
These paper bags are all produced in the market factory.
All are raw pulp logs, and paper products are not difficult to produce in today's trading markets.
Lao Mazi handed four paper bags containing corn tortillas to Xu Feng.
"Here, this is for you."
The reason why I bought 50 of them was because they wanted to eat themselves and happened to be here, so they might as well buy dinner too.
Neither of them likes to stock up on tortillas, even though they have a long shelf life.
But when you can eat fresh food every day, who wants to eat food that has been used for several days?
"Thank you." Xu Feng said thank you so many times today.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lao Mazi said with a smile:
"It's better to buy these tortillas in the morning. They are all freshly baked. Now the ones I buy in the evening have been stored for a day and are not that fresh."
"Hmm." Xu Feng held the heavy corn tortillas and felt filled with emotion.
Afterwards, they left the business district.
Lao Mazi spent another 0.01 points and bought 10 liters of water for them.
Water is difficult to obtain outside, but it is extremely easy in the trading market.
It is very cheap and all survivors can afford it.
And this drinking water is sterilized.
They get water from the lake outside and have to process it before they can drink it.
After receiving food and water, Lao Mazi took them back to Area C.
"Okay, I will send you here, and we have to go find our captain." Lao Mazi said to Xu Feng.
"Yeah, please come with us."
When Lao Mazi was about to leave, he seemed to remember something, turned around and warned:
"By the way, you should be careful here. Don't trust others easily. For example, those who take you through other crooked ways and talk about earning points quickly. Stay away from such people. There is no such person in the trading market now.
Investigate strictly, once the person who does this kind of thing is found out, no one will be able to escape, and they will all die."
In the trading market, there are some lazy people who don't want to earn points through manual labor or take risks in searching for supplies, so they take risks and start exploiting loopholes in the trading market system.
For example, behaviors such as not paying taxes on private transactions.
The trading bazaar provides them with a safe environment to trade, but you must pay taxes!
This behavior is relatively rare now.
In particular, the system is not rigorous enough. After all, if transactions are conducted person-to-person outside the trading market, the trading market will not be able to control it.
There is not much control over individuals and trading markets.
But if it is sold in large quantities privately in the trading market, it will invisibly harm the interests of the trading market.
Facing Lao Mazi's reminder, Xu Feng remembered it in his heart.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
Lao Mazi ignored him, turned around and left here with Wang Fang.
...
A few minutes later.
Lao Mazi returned to the place where they lived with the six bags of tortillas he bought.
When he came in, he didn't see Sun Dali, so he asked Xiao Li:
"Brother, haven't they come back yet?"
Xiao Li took the paper bag from his hand and was a little disappointed when he opened it and saw that there were tortillas inside.
"Brother Mazi, why are they corn tortillas? Multigrain tortillas are delicious, why don't you buy multigrain tortillas..."
Their lives are much better now than before, at least they have more points in their pockets than before.
The more points you have, the better your food will be.
Lao Mazi said helplessly:
"Xu Feng and the others are next to me. There is no way I can buy corn tortillas for him. Let's buy the multigrain tortillas ourselves. It's ugly. We'll buy the multigrain tortillas tomorrow."
"Answer my question, where are brother and the others? Haven't they come back yet?"
Xiao Li shook his head and said, "I haven't replied yet."
Lao Mazi glanced at Xiao Li, thought for a moment and said:
"You and Xiao Zhao fell out of the car. After eating later, I will take you to the hospital for a checkup to see if there are any internal injuries. If the internal injuries are not treated, the consequences will be serious."
"It's okay, I don't feel anything at all now, so don't waste those points." Xiao Li said nonchalantly.
"fart!"
Old Mazi cursed:
"You know what the heck, I'm doing it for your own good. Eat quickly and I'll take you for a checkup."
Although Lao Mazi is wary of outsiders, the members of the team have been together for at least three years.
He really regarded Xiao Li and the others as his own.
Otherwise, he would be too lazy to talk.
"Oh." Xiao Li didn't refute anymore. He lowered his head and held a paper bag to distribute tortillas to the team members.
...
Trading Market North District.
Mission hall.
The mission hall is open 24 hours a day, but after 8 o'clock, there are fewer staff, with only three or four people working the night shift inside.
After Sun Dali, Dapeng, Zhao Qiankun, and Stutter parked the two trucks, they immediately came to the mission hall.
It's only after five o'clock now, and there are quite a lot of people in the mission hall.
These are the people who come to settle tasks and collect points.
There are also some people asking about the latest recruitment arrangements.
Sun Dali found the corresponding functional window and walked over after queuing for a few minutes.
"Hello, I have an important piece of information to report." Sun Dali lowered his voice and said to the staff.
Cao Hu looked at the computer and said, "Give me the number plate."
Sun Dali quickly handed over the number plate.
Cao Hu didn't look at him, reached out and accurately got his number plate, and put it on the machine.
drop--
Information about their team popped up.
"What information?" Cao Hu's tone was a little impatient.
Every day, people come to report messy information. Regardless of whether it is true or false, this information needs to be registered and then submitted to the leadership for review.
After the leadership screen, they will prioritize the information based on its importance and then work with people from the militia department to confirm.
Registering this information every day and sitting here every day are annoying to death.
Sun Dali quickly said:
"We encountered wall-climbing zombies on our way back to the trading market at around four o'clock this afternoon! It's unusual for wall-climbing zombies to appear at around four o'clock in the afternoon! I suspect that wall-climbing zombies will appear during the day now!"
"What!?" Upon hearing this, Cao Hu looked at Sun Dali suddenly.
Staring directly at Sun Dali, he asked:
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
"I know, we really met!"
Cao Hu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is there any evidence?"
"You can still escape when you encounter wall-climbing zombies. You are very lucky..."
He didn't quite believe it, after all, wall-climbing zombies were extremely scary.
The man in front of me said that he had seen it with his own eyes and that he was still standing here safe and sound, which was hard to believe.
Information, many times require proof.
Video recordings, items brought, etc., as long as they can prove that what you said is true, that's fine.
Sun Dali smiled bitterly and said:
"It's true. We really met, otherwise we wouldn't have come back so late. If you don't believe it, you can ask Captain Cao, the city gate supervisor. They saw us coming in last."
When Cao Hu heard this, he said somewhat seriously:
"You need to know the punishment for lying about reporting intelligence."
"certainly."
He changed the topic and said, "If it turns out that what you are saying is true, I will definitely reward you with a lot of points."
"Really, I dare not tell lies!" Sun Dali said with great certainty.
Cao Hu thought for a moment and immediately picked up the walkie-talkie to contact Cao Le.
He may not be able to contact other people, but Cao Le is his brother, so it is easy to contact him.
A few minutes later, Cao Hu put the walkie-talkie aside with a serious expression.
He said to Sun Dali:
"Don't leave yet, I'll go find my leader and let him have a chat with you."
"This matter is too important. If what you say is true, the impact will be huge!"
Sun Dali nodded and said:
"Okay, I'll wait for you. I just know this matter is very important, so I'll come find you as soon as I get back."
At this moment, a man at the back urged:
"Why isn't it over yet? Why is it so slow? I have to go find Xiaocui later..."
Wow!
Cao Hu pulled up the window glass and said to the man:
"Why are you in a hurry! Are you rushing to reincarnate? Just wait!"
The man behind faced Cao Hu and couldn't help but retort:
"What kind of service attitude...I want to report you for your attitude!"
Cao Hu, who originally had no intention of paying attention to him, stuck his head out of the window.
"Which team are you in!?"
When the man heard this, he shook his head and muttered:
"The staff are amazing... These days, there are no human rights at all..."
Cao Hu didn't hear his mumbling.
Cao Hu didn't want to trouble him anymore. He turned to the female staff member opposite and said:
"Xiao Feng, go find Director Chen and ask him to come over quickly. There is important information that needs to be reported."
Xiaofeng stood up quickly after hearing this.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
No one dares to delay important information.
Even if it is fake, it needs to be confirmed.
Because this kind of important information is checked very strictly, if they dare to handle it carelessly, it may lead to extremely serious consequences.
Therefore, all staff in the mission hall have been trained on this matter.
