After another day of traveling like this, we could finally see the Fuzhou gathering place near noon the next day.
However, they were shocked when they saw the scene in front of them. They stood on the top of the mountain and looked around at zombie corpses everywhere.
Among these corpses, many people can be seen who seem to be looking for magic cores.
He took out his binoculars and looked at the gathering place in Fuzhou. He saw that the tall city walls were in tatters and some places seemed to have been invaded by zombies, but the city center was unscathed.
Seeing this, Wang Bin felt relieved. What he was most afraid of was that the Fuzhou gathering place would be captured. Then he really didn't know where he would take everyone.
"Fortunately, it wasn't captured!" Wang Bin sighed and handed the binoculars to others for viewing.
When everyone heard what Wang Bin said, they all felt relieved, and excitedly looked at the Fuzhou gathering place with telescopes.
It is more than 20 kilometers from the foot of the mountain to the Fuzhou gathering place. This section of the road is full of zombie corpses. It is impossible to drive, so everyone has to walk.
For safety reasons, everyone held a rifle in their hands, and Wang Bin did not take out his fire dragon gun. After all, the gun was too eye-catching and would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
Along the way, Wang Bin and his party saw many survivors. Whenever they passed by, these people would stare at Wang Bin and the others with vigilance. After they passed by, they began to search for the magic core.
On the way, Wang Bin found that most of the magic cores had been taken away, and now only a very small part was left. However, these people were still enjoying themselves for the magic cores, no matter how unpleasant the corpses of these zombies were.
Rummaging through the zombie corpses.
Wang Bin originally wanted to ask these survivors what happened here, but when he got close to them, those people would run away vigilantly. He could only give up and wait until he entered the city to inquire in detail.
Not long after, they finally arrived at the city gate. There were many people coming in and out. Many people were carrying zombie corpses, some were lining up to enter the city, and others were waiting to leave the city.
While waiting in line, Wang Bin asked a man standing in front of him about the situation, but the man ignored Wang Bin.
But when Wang Bin took out a pack of cigarettes, the man's eyes straightened and he immediately came to please Wang Bin.
"Brother, do you have any more? I'll trade my magic core for you?"
Wang Bin secretly smiled in his heart, if you answer well, I can give it to you for free, but now I have to use the magic core to please him.
"I only have this pack." Wang Bin said lightly.
After saying that, he took out one, lit it, and started smoking. Although he didn't know how to smoke, he always saw Li Dazhu and others smoking.
He was smoking a fake cigarette and did not swallow the cigarette. He held it tightly in his mouth for a while and then spit it out.
The man smelled the smell of smoke and couldn't help it anymore.
"Brother, I was blind just now. I'm going to apologize to you. Just sell one to me. I'm willing to exchange it for you with a magic core!"
Hearing that a magic core could be exchanged for an ordinary magic core, Wang Bin was so excited that he almost laughed, but he held it back in the end.
"Okay, but you have to answer a few questions for me. If you answer well, I can give you one for free!"
"Okay, brother, you can ask whatever you want to know, and I will tell you whatever I know!"
"Well, we just arrived here today. What's going on here? Why are there so many zombie corpses?"
"It's a pity that you didn't catch up with this battle. Let me tell you, this is a real battle that is rare in a century..."
In order to get Wang Bin's free cigarettes, the man kept talking and quickly told what happened here.
It turned out that a week ago, nearly 100 million zombies gathered outside the Fuzhou gathering place. After three days and three nights of battle, this group of zombies was eliminated. But after the battle, the military almost ran out of all ammunition.
After the war, the military picked up most of the magic cores and left here, retreating to the three major islands more than 500 kilometers away from the coast.
After the outbreak of the apocalypse, the military has been developing it. The project has been completed long ago. The military did not have much ammunition and took most of the people to retreat to the three major islands.
It is said that a Corpse King and hundreds of elite zombies were dispatched in this battle. Those elite zombies were all eliminated, but the Corpse King was seriously injured and escaped.
After the military retreated, the area was controlled by four major families and five major gangs. They divided the territory and each controlled a piece of territory.
Newcomers who want to live in the city can get a new ID card by handing in ten ordinary magic cores. With this new ID card, they can live in the city, and they do not need to pay magic cores when entering or leaving in the future.
But if you want to live in the city, you have to pay a share of the money to buy a house to live in like the big boss who controls the territory.
Wang Bin was very satisfied with the big man's story and gave him three cigarettes. The big man was moved and said thank you several times.
Then he inquired about the situation of several big bosses in the gathering place in Fuzhou, so that he could choose a relatively safe place to live when entering the city.
Relatively speaking, the places controlled by the four major families are safer, because many of the businesses of these four major families are done openly, while those gangs are different and do a lot of bad things behind the scenes.
It is precisely for this reason that if you want to live in the territory of the four major families, the magic cores given will be twice as much as those given in the territory controlled by several major gangs.
Most people can't afford this price, so most of them choose to stay in places where some of the major gangs live.
For the sake of safety, Wang Bin finally chose the Jin family of the four major families, because the south of the city controlled by the Jin family was the most prosperous trading area in Fuzhou, and what Wang Bin lacked most was food.
After each person handed over ten magic cores when entering the city, each person received a new ID card with his or her name, a photo and a number on it. You will need to carry this ID card with you when you leave the city in the future. If you lose it, you can
You can reissue it, but you need to pay a magic core.
When entering the city, he also learned that before the army withdrew, people used food stamps to exchange items, but after the army left, it seemed that people used magic cores as trading currency.
Wang Bin was still shocked when he heard that food stamps were a currency of exchange. Although he had never experienced the era of exchanging food stamps for items in the real world, his parents had experienced it, and when he was young, there were many at home.
Food stamps.
But think about it, when the end of the world comes and the old monetary system collapses, a new currency will be needed to replace the old monetary system.
In human gathering places, people rely on selling their labor to obtain food provided by the government. To measure the value of a person's labor, the old food stamps are not suitable.
After entering the city, Wang Bin led everyone towards the south of the city. Many houses on the outskirts of the city were destroyed in the last war, but as they went deeper, the buildings inside were still intact.
Although the city is not as prosperous as before the apocalypse, everyone can see that this city must have been an internationally famous metropolis before the apocalypse.
The street is very wide, with many high-rise buildings on both sides. From time to time, you can see cars passing by, but most people choose to use bicycles as transportation. After all, gasoline is very precious and not something ordinary people can afford.
Bicycles are different, just a little physical strength is enough.
