?When the first light of dawn fell on the earth, Lin Tao opened his eyes from the car on time. He carefully moved Bai Ru in his arms to the side, straightened up, and looked up outside the car. At this time
, the two vermilion ancient city gates a few hundred meters away from them were also slowly opening, announcing that this large gathering place with a population of 100,000 people was opening its arms to them!
Looking at the antique ancient city wall, the guards were modern people holding automated weapons. Lin Tao couldn't help but feel speechless as time and space were confused. They arrived here in the middle of the night yesterday, but were told by the guards on the city wall that the gate was not open at night and they had to wait until
It could only be done in the morning, and Lin Tao didn't have any objections. He simply didn't even set up a tent and just let everyone deal with it in the car in the middle of the night. Net
This is already a suburb more than 220 kilometers away from Jiangcheng, and more than 500 kilometers away from Lin Tao's hometown of Nanzhou. From the mottled patent leather tourist sign, we can know that this place was built just before the end of the world.
A film and television base, Phase I
The project was just completed and the end of the world came not long after it was put into use. However, this place is a little bigger than the place where Li Qiang and the others gathered. Judging from the majestic momentum, if it is more crowded, it is estimated to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
Absolutely no problem.
Moreover, the city wall here has been built a long time ago. The absolutely authentic bluestone city wall is not only strong but also tall. Just standing underneath it gives people a very solid feeling. There are also observation towers on the upper floor of the city gate and at both corners.
Guards with guns and ammunition were patrolling, and they didn't look like the kind of characters who were undisciplined and fooling around.
The two vermilion doors were slowly pushed open by a group of guards carrying firearms. Heavy machine guns began to be placed on the sandbags piled in front of the door, and the antlers made of sharp wooden stakes were also dragged by them.
Come out and put it all in the middle of the road paved with blue bricks, leaving only a zigzag narrow aisle that can barely allow pedestrians to pass.
The people in front of the city gate were very busy. Lin Tao had just finished smoking a cigarette. He honked the horn to wake everyone up. After everyone woke up sleepily, they immediately looked at the opposite side curiously. Lin Tao smiled and shook his head.
He answered various questions from the women in the car, started the car, and drove slowly towards the city.
"Stop!"
A middle-aged guard wearing a martial arts camouflage uniform without corresponding shoulder and collar insignia made a stop gesture from a distance. He was carrying a semi-new Bayi rifle and two similarly dressed men.
Bu walked up, first looked at Lin Tao's car, then looked at the people in the car, and finally frowned and said to Lin Tao: "Are you the survivors from Jiangcheng?"
"Yes, what's the problem?" Lin Tao smiled and took out three cigarettes from his pocket, and each of them handed one to them.
"Oh, there's no problem!" The guard's face immediately looked better after taking the cigarette. He tilted his head and asked the men behind him to light the cigarette for him. He blew out a mouthful of white smoke and said with a smile: "But you have to come down and do it."
We will check to see if you are not infected with the virus before we can let you in. I hope you can understand that this is for everyone's good!"
"Okay, how to check?" Lin Tao nodded and said with great understanding.
"You two go and move the obstacle away. Come with me!" The leading guard waved and sent the two men behind him back. Then he stepped on the foot pedal of the pickup truck, climbed on the window sill and said to Lin Tao: "Slow down.
Click and drive all the way in!”
"Thank you, brother, please take care of us for the first time here!" Cao Mei, who was in the car, smiled and stretched her head, took out a whole pack of Chinese cigarettes from the storage box and handed it to the guard lying on the window.
His eyes immediately lit up, he stuffed the cigarette into his coat pocket with a smile, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, I am in charge of this area of the city gate. If you have any problem, just come to me. My surname is Yao, just call me Captain Yao."
That’s it!”
The two cars, one behind the other, slowly drove into the city gate under the leadership of the guards. As soon as they entered the city gate, everyone discovered that there was a place similar to an urn city inside. They looked at the equally tall city wall inside.
, I learned that only after entering this city wall can I truly enter the city, and this is just a place to isolate the identities of infected people, but everything here shows an aura that is ten thousand times more powerful than the formal gathering place in Jiangcheng!
"Come on, everyone get out of the car. Cars are not allowed in the city. Just lock the doors and park here!"
The two cars parked side by side in a relatively wide parking lot in front of Wengcheng. The place was already full of vehicles of all kinds. A rough estimate was that there were thousands of them, ranging from the most ordinary Great Wall pickup truck to the big Hummer.
There are a lot of things to see, but what is strange is that most of these cars have the doors closed, but in some cars, you can see a pair of smelly feet hanging out of the window. It seems that someone is taking a rest in the car.
"Come on, come with me. The Jingwei will help you to see that no one steals your things. But you must bring your weapons and register them later!"
Everyone who got off the bus headed towards a row of blue prefabricated houses in front of the city wall. But before they got close to the row of houses, they immediately heard shouts and shouts filling the innermost rooms, just like watching football.
It’s as exciting as the game!
The guard walked forward with a natural expression, but Zhang Xu couldn't help but walked up and asked: "Hey~ Brother, what is this house for? It's like there was a fire inside this early in the morning. There can't be anyone gambling in it.
Bar?"
"Of course it's gambling, otherwise who of those bastards could get up so early? They've been gambling all night since last night and didn't even sleep!" The leading guard smiled disapprovingly and turned around and said, "I know you guys
For those who are new and curious, I will explain it to you later while you are doing the examination!"
With that said, everyone had already arrived in front of the row of prefabricated houses, and then they discovered that the houses that they thought were not long actually extended for fifty or sixty meters, and there seemed to be traces of people moving in every room.
"Hey, get up, get up, the sun is scorching your butts, why don't you little girls get up?" The guard walked straight to the first house and started banging on the door, but he kept waiting.
It took several minutes before the door was slowly opened. An unkempt young girl stuck her head out from the crack in the door. She saw the person clearly and said with great sadness: "Captain Yao, what are you doing?"
Huh? There is still more than an hour before we go to work, how can we still let people live?"
"Damn it, do you think you are still civil servants working a nine-to-five job? Stop being so verbose and hurry up and register these brothers. If you are slow, I will definitely file a complaint against you and ask the superiors to deduct your rations!" said the guard named Yao with an imposing manner.
He yelled loudly and pushed the door open without waiting for the girl to answer. Several screams from the girl immediately came from the door, while Captain Yao laughed and said: "What the hell, who screamed?"
You who like to be naked/sleeping, hurry up, hurry up, it will be your own loss if others see you naked!"
There was a lot of excitement inside, and after about ten minutes, Lin Tao was greeted by Captain Yao and led him into the office. As soon as he entered the door, he saw four or five girls in messy clothes tidying up the clothes spread on the floor.
Bedding, after an older woman stuffed her quilt into a cabinet, she smoothed her long hair and said angrily to Captain Yao: "Old Yao, can you be more wicked? I look for it every day.
This is an excuse to spy on our sisters and let you marry one of them and go home, but you are afraid that the burden will be too heavy. If you want to have a one-night stand, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. There are a lot of handsome men in the city to find.
I won’t do this to you!”
"Hey~ I don't like hearing what you are saying. Can those pretty boys who buy butts compare with me? They don't even know where the bullet comes from and where it goes in. It's only us real men who are the treasures now.
, Pretty boys have no use!" Captain Yao sat carelessly on a desk, raised his eyebrows at the woman and said with a smile: "Hey, Meizi, can your betrothal gift be reduced a little more? Five hundred kilograms of rice.
It’s indeed a bit too high!”
"Fart, I used to organize a flower, and the number of people chasing me was countless. I could queue from your front door to the train station. If I hadn't ended up in this field now, I could sell you 500 kilograms of rice? Tell you,
If my father and sister knew that I paid such a low price, they would definitely not be happy!" The woman named Meizi immediately picked up her waist, stared at Captain Yao with bulging eyes, but this woman
She is about twenty-seven or eighty-years-old and looks pretty. If you look closely, she does look a bit like a flower. In the past, not to mention bringing home a wife with five hundred kilograms of rice, it was a rare thing to even sleep in the ancestral graves with smoke!
"Team Yao, you already have two wives, and you still want to mess with our sister Mei? Can you afford to support her?" The young girl who opened the door came over with a stack of receipts and threw them on the desk.
She turned on a computer, then she turned around with a smile and said: "It's not like you don't know our rules. Once a woman has a man to support her, she can no longer work in the department. With your little public ration, you alone can't work in the department."
That big-bellied woman at home can make a living out of you!"
"Of course you can eat it if you're pregnant, but if Xiaomei follows me, can I still make her hungry?" Captain Yao looked very disapproving, but still scratched his head a little irritably, and then waved his hand impatiently and said: "
Forget it, let’s not talk anymore, these friends of mine are impatient, it’s important to do their business!”
"Oh~ we have been very tired these past few days. Yesterday we received more than 3,000 people in one day. I used up eight batteries in my laptop alone. I thought it was over. Who knew this early in the morning?
Here we go again, if this continues, I’m going to die from exhaustion!” The girl shook her head helplessly, but her expression didn’t have the slightest hint of coldness as in the public sector. She raised her head and said to Lin Tao politely: “Mr.
Please come here and state your name, age, original occupation and expertise, and we will take a photo of you later and enter it into the computer!"
"Still taking pictures?" Lin Tao scratched his head in confusion and turned to look at his companions. Naturally, they all looked confused. They, the new arrivals, actually felt like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.
, everything looks strange!
"Come on, the rest of the lesbians are invited to come to me. Please lift up your clothes and let me check if there are any wounds on your bodies!" After saying that, Meizi clapped her hands, and two girls immediately moved a screen.
It was placed in the corner of the room to separate men and women. She wore a pair of white gloves and began to perform a physical examination on the woman's door.
Thirty minutes later, Lin Tao and his party had completed the inspection and registration, and everyone received an identity certificate made of cardboard with a red seal. It was only then that Meizi finally took a breath and looked like
Lin Tao, who looked a bit like a leader, said: "You can't enter the city now. You have to wait here for more than six hours to make sure you are not infected before you can go in, or you can spend two kilograms of rice per person to do a blood test. If the test
Once there are no problems, you can enter the city immediately!"
"We will give you rice!" Lin Tao nodded without hesitation. They still had enough food. After saying that, he smiled and asked Captain Yao: "Those who are gambling are also quarantined and waiting, right?"
"Yes, they are all people who came back from looking for food, and there are also survivors who have just arrived from your place. It's just that they don't want to spend money to do the test, so they just gamble and wait. After all, this is for everyone's benefit, so everyone
We all understand that there are two prison cells at the very corner. If any of you has obvious wounds, you will have to go there alone and you won’t even be able to gamble!" Captain Yao nodded with a smile, and then took out the
The packet of Zhonghua in his pocket was thrown to Mei Zi and said: "Honour to your father, go back and tell him that sooner or later you will belong to me, Lao Yao, and I will marry you when I raise enough betrothal gifts!"
"Huh~ You have a conscience!" Mei Zi gave Captain Yao a charming look and happily put the pack of cigarettes into the drawer.
"Hey, sister, can you get married here? Can you get a marriage certificate?" Bingbing, who had just checked last night, put down her clothes, stuck her head out from behind the screen and asked curiously.
"Of course you can get a marriage certificate. We even have divorce certificates here, and they are all formal red books obtained from the Civil Affairs Bureau. The archives in the city will note them in your file. In our case
It is absolutely legal!" Mei Zi shrugged and replied with a smile.
"Ah? So formal?" Bingbing's eyes were full of surprise, but she seemed to have remembered something, and asked with a slight uneasiness: "Then...how many wives can a man here have?"
"Sister, you are stupid to ask this. Now there is definitely no upper limit for a man to marry a wife. As long as you can afford it, you can take her with you, and the police in the city will naturally not care about you.
, but now there are only women who cannot get married, and there are no men who cannot find a wife!" Mei Zi said helplessly.
"Damn, why are there still police officers? Will the prostitutes be caught?" Zhang Xu's eyes widened immediately and he immediately asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Haha, brother! There are almost 100,000 of us, young and old, plus you guys who just came here. Without a policeman to control it, it will be a mess. However, although those policemen are regular policemen from the past, but the guards are
The law is no longer that law, it is a new law drawn up by several mayors and deputy mayors of our movie theater. As for what you are talking about, it is not a thing at all. Our red light district is so big that it will scare you to death, and it is two
It's open for fourteen hours. As long as you have money in your pocket, you can be happy!" Captain Yao smoked the cigarette that Lin Tao just gave him, and smiled sinisterly with an authentic man's face.
"Ha! That's good. If you catch me, I'll go crazy! It seems that I really need to get familiar with your rules soon. Don't suddenly show up with sexual intercourse, and make me, who likes drunk driving,
It will be troublesome if you get caught!" Zhang Xu smacked his lips, his expression somewhat indescribably depressed.
"Okay, the blood test will be done in a while. First, take out your weapons and register them all for us!" Mei Zi said, stood up, walked around the table and said to Lin Tao: "Rifles and high-power firearms are the same.
It is not allowed to be brought into the city. You can choose to put it in your car in the parking lot, or you can choose to put it in our paid safe. You are not allowed to carry more than fifty rounds of pistol ammunition. We will have a dedicated person for each bullet.
The number will be engraved on you. Also, the gun you bring in must be properly kept. If it is lost or stolen, and someone uses your gun to kill someone in the city, the owner of the gun will be jointly and severally liable.
, I hope you can think carefully about whether to bring it or not!"
"Damn, I guessed that there would be a ban on guns, but luckily it was just a ban on rifles! But why are there so many rules here? Is this the end of the world?" Zhang Xu babbled and put the automatic rifle on his back.
He took it off and put it on the desk. Then he thought about it and said to Meizi: "You don't even have a prison here, do you? Do you care about the food there?"
"How can there be such a beautiful thing? I want to have free prison food. Even I am willing to go to prison. I can only save money every day. I have to count the grains of rice to check every salary!" Meizi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
, while taking Zhang Xu’s gun to register him, he said: “We only have a detention room and only provide water. You have to bring your own food. If the crime is serious, you will either be shot or expelled from the city, and you will not even have a chance to eat.
No!"
"Oh my God! Sister Meizi, they... they have rocket launchers, what should I do?" A girl suddenly screamed, looking at Wang Guodong with surprise on his face as he pulled out two rocket launchers from his sports bag. She was horrified.
He took several steps back and looked at Mei Zi beside him as if he was asking for help.
"Damn, brothers, your firepower is fierce enough. I thought you were already pretty good with a dozen rifles and shotguns. Who knew you even had such big guys? No wonder your car is full of food.
!" Captain Yao also looked at the rocket launcher in Wang Guodong's hand in shock, then shook his head and sighed: "Such big guys are becoming more and more rare now. These 40 fires of yours are enough to kill everyone.
!”
"Mr. Lin, these rocket launchers of yours must be placed in a safe by us for safekeeping. They can only be taken out when you leave the city. And the cost of the safe must be paid by you, otherwise we can only confiscate it!" Meizi looked at it!
Several rocket bombers looked solemn, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Although the security in the city is pretty good, when the brain gets hot, there are too many policemen and guards with guns. Therefore, there have been regulations here for a long time. Once such a situation is discovered,
Massive weapons must be immediately put into a special place for safekeeping. This will save some people from not making the decision and wildly firing a cannon in the center of the city, which will be a lot of fun.
"What? Are you still making overlord clauses?" Zhang Xu immediately became unhappy, tilted his head and looked at Mei Zi unkindly.
"Hey, brother, I hope you understand. This is for everyone's benefit. You definitely don't want others to get this kind of thing and carry it on your shoulders and swing it around in front of your eyes, right? If you cooperate, it will only cost you one kilogram of rice a month.
You don’t even care about it!” Captain Yao immediately came up to smooth things over. Five men, a dozen women and a dog, pulling two carts full of food, all the ghosts knew that they must be special, and the reason why he was
It was precisely for this reason that he was so enthusiastic to personally take Lin Tao and others to register early in the morning.
"Old Wang, give them something!" Lin Tao nodded indifferently, and Wang Guodong handed over the rocket launcher without hesitation. He also hoped that the security in the city would be better, otherwise they would not be able to sleep well and it would be annoying.
But when the bazooka was passed to several women, none of them dared to touch it. They were afraid that one of them would blow up their houses. In the end, Captain Yao personally held the bazooka and went out, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
