Chapter 1671 What? Will it delay my earning 0.65 points a day?
The night is like a thick curtain, covering the doomsday world airtightly.
Outside the towering wall, there are densely packed zombies.
Their low roars came and went, like ghosts singing in the night.
The sky is low, as if it is pressing down on people's heads, and it is connected with the hopeless earth.
There was no moon or stars, only thick dark clouds like an ancient curse, blocking all the light of hope.
The air is filled with the smell of death and unknown fear, which is suffocating.
The commercial area within the wall is bustling with people, people coming and going, various hawking sounds, and neon lights flashing, creating a lively scene.
Inside and outside the wall, there are completely two worlds.
A wall isolates the terrifying zombies outside and provides safety for people in the trading market.
Trading bazaar, residential area.
Building 78, Zone C, Room 205 on the second floor.
Liu Rui watched Zhang Shuzhen holding her daughter. He shook some corn cake batter in a thermos cup and fed the corn cake batter to his daughter with a spoon.
"It's great. Although you can't light a fire here, you can actually buy hot water with points." Liu Rui said with emotion.
Zhang Shuzhen nodded and said, "You didn't go to the business district. It's not much different from the night market before the apocalypse. It's very prosperous."
Liu Rui fed the last mouthful of corn mush to his daughter. He felt even more guilty when he saw his daughter licking the corner of her mouth with her little tongue.
This is the only time in half a month that my daughter has eaten enough, and it is also the only time that she has eaten anything that can be called food.
But she is not yet 1 year old!
"Thank you, Shuzhen. Without you, I don't know what I would do!"
Along the way, thanks to Zhang Shuzhen taking care of her daughter, otherwise a rough guy like him wouldn't know how to take care of his daughter.
Zhang Shuzhen said with a smile: "Why are you so polite to me? Besides, this is also sister Lili's child. She used to take good care of me."
After her daughter had eaten her fill, she fell into a deep sleep.
The little baby is supposed to cry, but the environment forces him not to cry or fuss.
Liu Rui stood up and walked to Xu Feng's side.
"Brother Feng, you guys went out to see it, is there any way to earn points?"
The 5 points that Sun Dali lent them were all used to buy corn tortillas. These corn tortillas would not last a few days.
Points must be earned as quickly as possible so that they can continue to stay in the trading market.
Xu Feng thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow we will go to the mission hall in the North District to see if we can find anything we can do."
"good."
Xu Feng stood up and walked toward the door, and Liu Rui followed.
The two of them stood in the corridor, looking at the building opposite.
The building opposite was very close to them, so they could clearly see what the people opposite were doing.
They were still not used to the people coming and going in the corridor.
They have been in the apocalypse for a long time, and this is the first time they have seen so many human beings.
Generally speaking, the more people there are, the more zombies there are and the more dangerous they are.
The two of them looked around and observed.
Half a moment.
Xu Feng suddenly said: "I heard Sun Dali say that there are hundreds of thousands of survivors here in the trading market, and they have been there for several years. I don't know how they survived the thunderstorm natural disaster."
"It's so great..." Liu Rui said with emotion.
"Let's do the same thing today as before, take turns on duty, don't let down your guard yet, let's get to know each other for a few days before talking," Xu Feng warned.
"good."
"You can talk to Li Da later." Xu Feng added.
"Okay, I'll go find him now."
They have just entered the trading market and are still a little uncomfortable with the life here.
You have always been in a dangerous environment, your nerves have been tense, and suddenly one day you are told that it is safe.
It's a normal reaction if you're not used to it.
This is what many survivors who enter the trading market for the first time will experience.
At the beginning, they will remain on alert outside.
I was afraid that I would be attacked by survivors in other rooms, and that the walls would be broken through by zombies.
But after staying for a few days, they find that nothing happened and gradually relax their vigilance.
Especially after understanding the management regulations of the trading market and past illegal cases, they understood that the trading market is really safe.
Here, the cost of violating regulations is too high.
There is no room for stealing, fighting, and killing once discovered.
The cost of crime is too high, and normal people generally will not take risks to do such things.
Especially now that the trading market is recruiting workers aggressively, most people can earn points in exchange for food, so they are less likely to violate the regulations.
The gain outweighs the loss and is unnecessary.
That night, they tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
With excitement and trepidation, everything before my eyes seemed like a dream.
Yesterday, I slept in the basement of a dilapidated house, listening to the occasional sound of zombies outside.
But now I can only hear voices coming from the next room.
It was an unusual night for them, but it was just an ordinary night for the trading market.
The business district is still prosperous, the bars are still noisy, and there are still bursts of shouts coming from the arena...
........
........
The next day.
Oil City, dormitory building.
Xiao Hu woke up from his sleep, took a deep breath, and slowly got up.
Rubbing his eyes, he shouted to Chang Ze and Xiong Hong on the opposite bed:
"Get up!"
Carrying a towel and toothbrush, I opened the door and whirred——
A gust of cold wind blew in, which made him shiver, who was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt.
It's getting cold again.
The sky is still dark.
The street lights opposite and the lights in the corridor are on.
He put the washbasin and toothbrush on the table. When he saw Chang Ze and the others hadn't gotten up yet, he went over and lifted their quilts.
"Hurry up, get up!"
Chang Ze was sleeping soundly when the quilt was lifted off and the cold wind from outside blew in. The coolness made him wake up instantly.
"Captain, it's so early..." Chang Ze climbed up and put on his coat skillfully.
"Damn, it's getting cold again." Xiao Hu cursed and put on a coat and ran out to wash up.
Some time ago it was still 20 or 30 degrees Celsius, but now it is estimated to be only about 10 degrees Celsius. Even at the hottest time at noon, it is still less than 20 degrees Celsius.
Especially at night, it becomes only a few degrees.
After washing up, Xiao Hu and others packed the bedding and put daily necessities into their personal backpacks.
As members of the transportation brigade, they travel outside all year round and are highly mobile.
In addition to having a fixed bed at the headquarters base, they have no fixed beds in the North and Oil City. They sleep wherever there are vacancies.
After washing up, Xiao Hu looked at the time, six o'clock.
There are still two hours left before departure.
It's getting very late now, so setting out before seven o'clock is the same as setting out at night.
Go to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and then go to the team to make final inspection preparations.
Depart on time at eight o'clock.
It is a relatively easy way to go from Oil City to the headquarters base.
They can still have a good sleep tonight because they can reach the Wu City military base.
It's very safe there too.
Xiao Hu had been stationed there for several months and knew the situation inside very well.
When he walked out of the cafeteria, he bumped into Li Yu.
"City Lord, are you so early?" Xiao Hu was a little surprised.
"Um."
Just seeing Xiao Hu, Li Yu reminded:
"Today you have to return to the headquarters base, please pay attention to safety."
"yes!"
"Go ahead."
The two parted, and Li Yu walked into the cafeteria.
There are not many people in the cafeteria. It's still early and many people haven't gotten up yet.
Li Yu walked to the window and said to the staff inside;
"Bring me some polenta, um...and some pickles."
The staff did not recognize it was Li Yu, but skillfully handed him the porridge and pickles.
When he looked up, he suddenly saw that it was the city lord, and his whole body was shocked.
"Chengcheng City Lord..."
"Are you so sleepy?" Li Yu asked with a smile.
The staff member was dozing off just now, probably because it was so early in the morning.
Winter is coming, and people tend to feel sleepy.
"I, I, I just..."
"Haha." Li Yu smiled, took the porridge and left.
...
North District Administration Building.
The conference room was filled with smoke.
Like a fairyland.
There were more than a dozen people gathered in the room.
Lao Luo rubbed his eyebrows and patted Ju Tianrui, who was sleeping on the table.
"Lao Ju, wake up, wake up, it's done, take a look."
Ju Tianrui woke up from his deep sleep. He couldn't bear it anymore after staying up until three o'clock yesterday, so he lay on the table and squinted for a while. Unexpectedly, he squinted until the next day.
I slept on the table, and when I woke up in the morning, I felt sore all over my body, as if I had been beaten.
After his brain shut down for a few seconds, Ju Tianrui regained consciousness.
Dragging the stool to Lao Luo's side, he took the computer from his hand and read the detailed report written inside.
Lao Luo got up, walked to the window, and opened the window.
Crash--
The fresh air from outside comes from the pavement.
The thick smoke in the room blew out.
"They are all a bunch of old smokers." Lao Luo said after taking a deep breath of fresh air.
A few minutes later.
Ju Tianrui's voice came from behind.
"Lao Luo, I haven't found any problems after looking at it. It's very efficient."
Lao Luo turned his head, looked at him with resentment and complained:
"Did you sleep well?"
Ju Tianrui said with some embarrassment: "I was too sleepy last night. I just wanted to take a nap for a while."
Lao Luo walked over and sat down with his panda eyes.
"You slept so soundly last night, I didn't wake up even after I called you several times, and you snored so loudly!"
"Ahem."
Ju Tianrui changed the subject, "Let's print out the report. It's almost dawn. Let's quickly hand the report to the minister so that we can implement it later."
"OK."
Lao Luo nodded, turned to Ding Meng and said:
"Xiao Ding, go and print out the report in triplicate."
.........
Eight o'clock.
The sky was overcast, and the sky seemed to be covered with a thick layer of gauze dust.
It's hazy and can't be seen clearly.
Xiao Hu and Zuo Ruxue led the transportation team and drove out of the trading market.
On this trip, there were no motorcycle escorts with sidecars, all were replaced by cars.
In addition, in order to enhance the strength of protecting the convoy, several armored vehicles and explosion-proof vehicles were added.
In addition, they have also increased drone patrols.
There are six drones cruising in the air at all times.
They were scattered around the convoy in front, back, left, and right, and even searchlights were installed on the drones.
The sky is overcast now, and the visibility is not very good. When encountering some valley roads, it is difficult to see clearly without turning on the lights.
The trading market door now opens at half past eight.
But the transportation brigade does not have to comply with this regulation.
They had to hurry up and get to the Wu City military base.
Half an hour after the transport team left, it was half past eight.
The door to the trading market has just officially opened.
The workers who had been waiting in line here for a long time walked out under the command of supervisors.
When they walked out of the trading market, they were surprised to find that the ultraviolet light on the wall behind them was still on.
"What's going on? Our fence is only opened at night and closed during the day! Isn't this a waste of electricity?"
"Whatever, maybe the staff forgot to close it, or maybe it's because the light has dimmed recently?"
"It's impossible that they forgot to turn off the switch. They won't make such stupid mistakes. I always feel that something is wrong."
"It's time to get to work, it has nothing to do with us."
"Why doesn't it matter? We are all working outside. What if..."
Before he finished speaking, the foreman in front shouted to them:
"Hurry up, what are you two bothering about!"
The few people said nothing more and hurriedly ran towards the foreman.
The buffer city wall is being constructed normally, but there are twice as many guards protecting the construction site today than before.
.......
Buzz buzz——
Four helicopters flew out in the sky.
On the construction site.
He Liangwei watched the four helicopters leave with thoughtful eyes.
He had already looked at the ultraviolet light on the wall that was still on, and then looked at the guards not far away who were holding guns with their backs to them.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! A light flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Meng, I feel like something might have happened."
When Zhang Meng, who was tying steel bars, heard this, he raised his head and asked:
"What's wrong? Why do you say that?"
He Liangwei thought for a moment and said:
"It doesn't feel right. Brother Meng, you see that the ultraviolet lights on the wall used to be turned off at eight o'clock, but now it's past nine o'clock..."
"If the guards above had forgotten to turn it off, they would have turned on the ultraviolet lights long ago, but they didn't."
"So?" Zhang Meng wiped his sweat, pulled him and asked him to tie the steel bars together.
"Don't stand and talk. If you keep standing, I'll say you're lazy later."
He Liangwei thought for a while and said:
"Wall-climbing zombies! The only purpose of the ultraviolet light is to defend against wall-climbing zombies. Now that the ultraviolet light is turned on, aren't you just worried that there will be wall-climbing zombies climbing up the wall?!"
"According to this logic, there may be wall-climbing zombies during the day!"
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful if others report you for spreading rumors." Zhang Meng shouted in a low voice.
He Liangwei sighed and said: "Brother, don't you see something unusual today?"
"What's unusual?" Zhang Meng asked.
He Liangwei explained:
"First, the ultraviolet lights are still on at nine o'clock. Second, the defensive strength of the guards has doubled today. What are they guarding against? Third, the four helicopters that just flew away."
"I can understand the first two, but what does this have to do with helicopters?" Zhang Meng asked.
He Liangwei touched his chin and said:
"According to my observation, after helicopters from Oil City flew out, they mainly flew in two directions, north or south. This may be because they were going to other sub-bases."
"But today they flew in four directions. If we think about it together with today's anomalies, I think the four helicopters flying out are related to wall-climbing zombies."
"I boldly speculate that someone may have discovered the wall climbing during the day and then informed Oil City. Oil City began to carry out a series of response measures and sent people out to determine this matter."
Zhang Meng gasped.
"You mean that wall-climbing zombies may appear around you at any time?"
"Yes." He Liangwei nodded.
Zhang Meng frowned and continued working.
He Liangwei saw Zhang Meng like this and asked in confusion: "Brother, don't you have anything to say?"
Zhang Meng didn't even raise his head and said calmly:
"What's there to say? Let's get to work!"
"What if zombies come out during the day and climb the wall? Will it affect my earning of 0.65 points a day?"
"If the sky falls, there will be tall men holding it up. The guns in the hands of those guards are not for food, and the Oil City is not for food. Don't worry about it. They will definitely have a way to deal with it. It is hard for us to work hard and earn points."
reason."
He Liangwei was silent for a long time after hearing this.
Great wisdom is like foolishness.
He found helplessly that what Brother Meng said was actually right.
