Jixi Town has not been so lively for a long time. Such scenes can be traced back to before the outbreak of the blood epidemic. No, it goes back to before the outbreak of the economic crisis.
The streets of Jixi Town are decorated with colorful ribbons and balloons, and the streets are full of people with smiles on their faces. Today is a grand festival.
Hundreds of armed guards have already dispersed out. Although there are no three-step, one-post, five-step, and one-post in Jixi Town, if you want to come to Jixi Town, you need to go through three checkpoints. And they must be guarded at the entrance of Jixi Town.
The guard at the last checkpoint explicitly requested that all tourists entering Jixi Town today are not allowed to carry firearms.
After tourists hand over all their weapons to the guards, they can get a storage slip with a number on it. They can collect their weapons with the slip after leaving Jixi Town.
Since the outbreak of the blood plague, weapons have been an inseparable part of the lives of survivors. Now they actually ask everyone to disarm. It is simply...
The guards have warned that if someone is found holding a weapon in Jixi Town today, regardless of whether it is used or not, and regardless of the reason, they will be treated as the attacker.
The gospel team showed strong control over the situation. All those who came to participate in the free trade conference had to bow their heads and accept the interrogation of the guards. They carried themselves on their backs, pinned them to their waists, and handed over all the firearms hidden under their armpits.
come out.
Like a young tiger roaring in the forest, the gospel team is declaring its dominance in Puduo County to everyone.
Andy wore a carefully selected high-end suit today, and his hair was carefully combed back with hairspray.
This is an extremely important occasion. In the past, this outfit would have made people think it was vulgar, but now it is just right.
Not to mention, Andy spent a lot of effort to find this suit.
Whether it was the Morgan Building or the shops in Quick Creek Town, there were no formal dresses, or even decent suits. Andy returned to his home and tried to look for clothes. As a result, his home had been completely changed beyond recognition, and there were no formal dresses anywhere.
.
Suddenly Andy's head clicked, and he thought of a good place.
This is the house of Mr. Woodcarver. After the cans in this house were emptied, it was originally used as an outpost and was abandoned. However, because this is a sensitive area belonging to the gospel team, which is roughly equivalent to the land of Longxing, there is no
People dare to come here and look around for items.
All the furnishings in the villa were still in their original tidiness. Andy found a large number of suits and dresses of all kinds in the wardrobe of the master's bedroom upstairs.
In the financial world, whether you are a big boss or a junior, one of the most important basic rules is the dress code.
Andy chose two suits and took them back to Quick Creek Town. He also asked Kate to restore a red Ferrari sports car.
Andy drove this million-dollar sports car back to Quick Creek and parked it in front of the Morgan Building.
Andy is not a person who needs a luxurious life, but wearing fresh clothes and angry horses is the best business card of the chairman of the gospel team.
Free trade has already started. The gospel team announced that today the entire Jixi Town is a free trade zone, and the gospel team can conduct trade justice for everyone free of charge.
After the blood epidemic broke out, because social order was completely destroyed, trading was actually a very difficult thing.
To put it simply, there are three difficulties.
First, there is no way to control the exchange price of goods. They are all exchanged for things, which is too random and volatile. This time, 5 potatoes can be exchanged for a box of ammunition, but next time, 5 potatoes cannot be exchanged for 10 pieces.
Second, many people have the problem of wanting to exchange for something, but don’t know who to exchange it with. Or they have found what they want, but the other party doesn’t like what they have.
The third and most important thing is that bulk trade cannot be carried out because there are too many situations where money is made but life is spent. Once the buyer and seller turn against each other, there are too many cases where people and goods are given away.
But I’m not afraid today. Uncle, I have money. Just put it on my waist. What’s the matter? Do you dare to touch me and try?
In addition to those who buy things, there are also those who sell things.
The streets of Jixi Town are full of street stalls, selling all kinds of strange and weird things.
The owners of these street stall goods either feel that the gospel team's prices are too low, or they think that they may meet a friend with good connections who can sell them at a higher price.
At 12 noon, Andy hosted a sumptuous meal for all participants on the second floor, and then the first Free Trade Association Conference began.
After the warm-up in the morning, the conference went surprisingly smoothly.
Whether it is the force or material reserves displayed by the Gospel team, they overwhelmed other teams in all aspects. They deserved to be the boss of this area, and others naturally recognized his management.
After the conference, many teams that had just arrived in Jixi Town in the past few days also submitted applications to the gospel team. Some wanted to join directly, and some wanted to become a defensive alliance. Jixi Town was enveloped in a joyful atmosphere.
At 4:22 pm, the joyful and peaceful atmosphere in Jixi Town was broken by a loud noise outside the town.
A tourist brought his family home with a loaded car. When they were about to drive home, the car exploded before they left the parking lot.
When Iger and Andy discussed the price that day, they didn't expect that the first payment would have to be made so soon.
…
Egg stretched.
It's been a long time since I've stayed up all night. It's good for young people to stay up late like this occasionally.
This is a very ordinary roadside residence. The three of them spent the night here yesterday.
When we set out yesterday, there was a walkie-talkie on each of the pickup truck and the off-road vehicle. Along the way, Iger chatted with Joanna. Halfway through the chat, the walkie-talkie rang, and Dina called: "Hi, you two."
Guys, are you flirting or talking about love? Can you take me with you?
I will never interrupt, just turn on the intercom and I will listen quietly."
If this girl doesn't have a brain problem and her EQ can't keep up with her IQ, or the environment where she grew up is too awkward, causing her to develop this extremely twisted personality.
Iger and Joanna are not sick. They have whispered something and want to broadcast it to you.
"Please, I'm so bored. I'm driving a car by myself, and I don't even have anyone to talk to." Dina said pitifully: "Or, sweetheart, let your boyfriend use it for him."
Can you please come and sit in my car?"
"Don't even think about it!" Joanna roared, pulling out the walkie-talkie from the cradle.
A proud smile appeared on Dina's face. How could she let that boy get into her car? She just used a little trick to trick this silly girl into taking the bait.
Afterwards, Joanna and Dina turned on the walkie-talkies to push-to-talk mode, and they began to argue with each other.
"Here we go again." Egg felt like his head was getting bigger.
At this moment, Egg suddenly heard another person's voice coming from Dina's walkie-talkie: "Mige Maps will continue to guide you. Please go straight on the fork in front of you..."
This sentence was only half spoken when it was gone, followed by silence on Dina's walkie-talkie.
This happened so suddenly that Joanna couldn't help but stop bickering.
Egger, who was originally drowsy, suddenly became energetic. He picked up the walkie-talkie and put it to his mouth, and then said: "This is the sound of the mobile phone navigation, how come your mobile phone still has a network signal?"
Dina's walkie-talkie continued to be silent.
"Dina~" Aigela shouted again in a long voice, and he said: "Both of us heard it."
Dina's voice finally came from the intercom: "Okay, okay, I admit it. This mobile phone of mine can indeed connect to the satellite network. This is a mobile phone issued to me by the laboratory, and mandatory fingerprint verification is required every time it is unlocked.
, it’s useless for you to take it.”
"Which finger?" Egger said calmly.
A suffocating silence fell, even Joanna was shocked.
After a few seconds, Iger said into the intercom: "Haha, I'm just kidding. In fact, if I really want to take the phone, I can just cut off your hands."
More suffocating silence.
Ige was very satisfied with this. This silly girl disrespected herself so much that she had to show her some strength.
After a while, Dina's voice came over, and she said: "Okay, okay, I lied to you. This is an ordinary mobile phone. In addition to using your fingerprint, you can also enter a password to unlock it. Password
It's '159632', a triangle."
This time it was Joanna's turn to be shocked for the third time. Is this okay?
After hearing what Dina said, Egg frowned. This girl is smarter than expected.
"Ok, ok. I'm really joking." Iger said on the intercom, "But since you have a mobile phone, I just want to ask one thing. When you arrived in Ross Town, did you also turn on the navigation all the way?
Came here?"
"Yes." Dina admitted generously.
"It's troublesome." Iger immediately discovered the problem. He said to Dina: "Because of your mobile phone, our whereabouts have been exposed to the military."
"Ah?" Dina said in surprise.
"Let me guess again, after you arrived in Ross Town, did you share the experimental data and travel plans with others?" Iger asked with the last glimmer of hope.
"How do you know?" Dina said in surprise again.
"Perfect, you are indeed a genius." Egger leaned heavily on the backrest. After playing, everyone knew everything.
After a while, Dina asked on the intercom: "Is my mobile phone being monitored?"
"It goes without saying." Iger said feebly: "Unless they are all fools and blind at the same time, they will not be able to see the message you sent."
"What should I do? You may be in danger." Dina said worriedly.
Hearing this, Iger felt a little more comfortable. He said, "The only way is for us to enter that Chrisburg as soon as possible and hide there until the treatment serum is researched."
Egger knew very well that he was an extremely special experimental sample. If he wanted to ensure his safety, he had to make the treatment serum as soon as possible.
Afterwards, everyone lost interest in talking. The two girls concentrated on driving, while Iger stared at the scenery outside the window in a daze. After being dazed for a while, he fell asleep. When he woke up, the two girls used
The conversation on the intercom is lively.
When did they become so familiar? Iger thought strangely.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Iger shouted on the intercom, asking Dina to find a parking place nearby and prepare to spend the night.
"We still want to sleep in the house?" Dina was surprised after hearing what Iger said.
"Ah, of course, what else?" Upon hearing Dina's words, Egger was also greatly surprised.
"I thought we could sleep in the car. We just need to fold the seats down a little and put a blanket on it. It's convenient and safe." Dina said seriously to Iger.
"No. Your method won't work." Egg said to Dina: "Without rest for a long time, people's fatigue will slowly accumulate. When we can least rest, fatigue will defeat us.
And the most important thing is, we need to make some hot food. Adequate rest and enough hot food can help us recover from fatigue."
What Egger means is that he needs to rest now. After arriving in Chrisburg, there may be a fierce battle waiting for him.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Dina agreed with Egger.
During her last trip, Dina cycled so much by herself that when she arrived in Ross Town, she was so tired that she almost fell asleep while sitting. In Ross Town, Dina finally settled down and slept for two full days before she recovered.
There was a residential area in front, with about five or six households. After the car stopped, Iger and Joanna got out of the car with their guns in hand.
"Do you have a gun?" Iger asked Dina, who opened the car door but had not yet gotten out of the car.
Dina nodded and took out a P220 pistol.
"How's your shooting skills?" Egg asked Dina.
"Enough to defend yourself." Dina replied.
Egg nodded and said to Dina: "You stay on guard while we clean the room."
Egg was holding his M17, and Joanna was still using a shotgun to cover behind him.
At this time, Dina realized that Joanna was right, she really couldn't replace her in some places.
The spotter is not that easy to be used as. The spotter not only has to guard against blind spots in the line of sight that are not easily noticed by the vanguard, but also needs to provide a certain amount of fire support in case of emergencies.
Providing firepower behind people's backs is no small feat.
Let's put it this way, when playing shooting games, there are many people who headshot the teammates in front of them.
To shoot behind a teammate, the observer needs to be very experienced, or have a tacit understanding with the vanguard. From this point of view, it is not just about good marksmanship.
More than ten minutes later, Iger and Joanna checked all the houses and found that they were all empty. Then they chose a small two-story house and started making dinner.
Dina was not comfortable with doing chores. She found that Joanna was very familiar with these tasks and was obviously used to doing them.
Looking at Joanna's appearance, Dina originally thought that she was the kind of fashionable girl who was silly and stupid, liked gossip news, often attended parties, and changed boyfriends as often as she changed clothes.
Obviously Joanna is not as useless as Dina imagined.
After dinner, the three of them took an early rest. Considering that the driver had a hard time driving, Egger kept vigil alone from midnight until dawn.
Early the next morning, Iger stretched himself out. Joanna and Dina, who were yawning when they went out, bumped into each other. They were surprised and shouted at the same time: "You are not on duty tonight?"
