Chapter 2: The Value of Genetically Modified Meat
The group entered the base city.
Ye Chen looked around and saw a road leading directly from the city gate to the center of the base city. The street was eight meters wide and could accommodate three or four cars. There were tall buildings on both sides, some of which were high-tech companies, some were star-rated hotels, and the rest were some shops and large supermarkets. It can be seen that the people who built this base city chose an excellent road section!
On the streets, people come and go, most of them are walking in a hurry. Living in this sinful city, they are constantly urged by invisible whips to keep busy...
"There are so many people!" Bai Long said in amazement, "Based on the daily entrance fee, there shouldn't be many people who can afford to stay here, right?"
Ye Chen said indifferently: "Those who can afford the entrance fee, it means that hunting zombies is not very difficult for them, so they can naturally afford the entrance fee. If it were you, and you only have 50g of basic meat in your body, would you be willing to pay it?"
Bai Long was startled.
"The price of the entrance fee is set for the strong ones, while the weak ones can only surrender and sell themselves. In this way, the population of the base city will grow. The more people there are, the stronger the army will be, and the overall strength of the base city will be enhanced." Ye Chen said casually.
Everyone was stunned. They had not thought about this more deeply. It seemed that ordinary survivors, even if they could kill zombies, would never be willing to pay for a day's accommodation. In this case, they had no choice but to go to the base city. In this way, the sovereignty was in the hands of the base city. Even if the welfare of their subordinates was reduced, no one dared to protest, which saved a lot of expenses!
"Let's go and find a house and settle down first." Ye Chen walked towards a tall building with more than 20 floors not far away. The name of a company was posted on the building, but now it has been changed into a rental house.
When he walked to the door, Ye Chen saw a notice.
"For rent, contact information, lobby front desk."
Everyone took a look and walked into the building. Standing at the door were two pretty girls, dressed in bright clothes. They were extremely beautiful. When everyone entered, they smiled beautifully and bowed, saying, "Welcome!"
Ye Chen didn't look any further and walked straight in.
Bai Long's eyes lit up, and he walked over to the two beauties, grinning and saying, "You two are so beautiful, why are you standing here in the sun? Why don't you come in and sit down?"
The two girls looked up in astonishment, looking at the handsome young man in amazement, but they were smiling bitterly in their hearts. They were women, and the last thing in the end times was women. Like the elderly and children, they were all burdens. Therefore, the two came to this rental company to do odd jobs. When there were many people, they would greet guests, and when there were few people, they would help clean and move goods.
And the reward...
That's 300g of base meat! Equivalent to the harvest from killing 60 zombies, 10g of salary per day, no food included, basically, all employees in all places after the apocalypse don't have food included! Every day's food and drink is about 8g, and you have to be very frugal, after all, a pack of instant noodles is 5g of base meat, and the value will increase in price in the later stage...
Of course, it is difficult to cut such a small unit of 5g exactly, so most stores have their own coupons, just like recharging shopping cards. As long as you hand over the basic meat to the other party, you can get a consumption card, and you can use the card directly to buy next time.
If the virus in the air had not gradually risen into the sky, the situation would have been even worse if it had continued to mutate, and those with weak constitutions would have been infected and turned into zombies. We also need to find a way to improve our constitution, but for now, we just need to be able to eat enough.
Apart from this, the only source of income is tips from customers, or being noticed by a powerful person and taken as a lover. However, being a lover is very dangerous, because only the strong can afford a lover!
The physique of a strong man is such that an ordinary woman cannot withstand it during sexual intercourse.
This also leads to...
Strong women are extremely attractive, and those with loose sexual desires can cost a lot to have sex with.
In other words, only women with weak constitutions are the lowest class, having lost even the natural capital of their bodies...
"We are working and cannot go in." The two girls said with their heads down.
Bai Long looked helpless and said, "This boss is so inhumane that he lets such beautiful and lovely girls stand at the door." As he said that, he took out a small bag of level 1 genetically modified meat and handed it to the two girls.
"This..." The two girls took it, opened it and were immediately shocked. There were at least eight pieces of chemically modified meat inside, if not ten pieces. Each piece was about 50 grams. For them, it was simply a huge fortune!
"You, you give it to us?" The two girls were a little bit incredulous.
Bai Long smiled slightly, a hint of sadness flashed across his eyes. Ever since that incident, he would never allow any girl to be bullied in front of him, nor would he let a woman suffer in front of him.
Yier...
His heart ached, and a bitter taste overflowed from the corner of his mouth, a bitterness that only he could taste.
"These are all first-level basic meat. They are not valuable. Just take them." Bai Long saw Ye Chen and the others walking away, glanced at the two girls, and said with a smile, but no one could see the bitterness in his smile.
Only a smile can hide sadness... and loneliness!
"Come quickly, you're picking up girls there again!" Yue Heng urged.
"Coming." Bai Long hurried over.
Ye Chen looked at the beautiful lady in front of him. She had long black hair like a waterfall. She wore a black coat with a white shirt underneath and a black skirt that reached her knees. She had a lovely smile on her face. "How can I help you?"
"How much is a house?" Ye Chen went straight to the point.
"The rent for one square meter per day is g, which means 600 g per month." The girl smiled gently.
Bai Long came over and was surprised when he heard this: "Why is it so expensive? Are you kidding me? Why don't you go rob a bank... Oh, by the way, there's nothing to rob in a bank now."
Everyone was speechless.
"Expensive?" The two girls who received his reward came over and were about to thank him. When they heard this, they were stunned for a moment. They thought Bai Long was a very powerful person just because he casually threw out 400-500g of base-transformed meat. But they didn't expect that he would think 600g was expensive. What a strange person...
"If you want to buy it, how much is one square meter?" Ye Chen asked.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Buy?" The girl was surprised. She looked at Ye Chen carefully and said respectfully, "If you want to buy it, it's 3000g per square meter!"
"Fuck!" Yue Heng couldn't help but swear, "It's so expensive, why don't you just rob people!"
The housing prices are expensive!
House prices are very expensive in the apocalypse. A person with a little bit of strength who can kill zombies, excluding expenses such as food, accommodation, etc., must work hard for at least five or six months to have a chance to buy one square meter of land in the base city.
What can one square meter do?
I can't even stretch myself when I lie down to sleep!
Ye Chen looked normal, having been prepared for the price. He nodded slightly and said, "Let's rent a 100 square meter house first."
"100 square meters!" The girl was shocked. Those who can afford to rent such a large area must be strong. You know, the rent for this month is 6000g!
Ye Chen casually took out a piece of basic meat and said, "This is a piece of level 8 basic meat. You should have the testing tools here. You can test it."
Ye Chen knew that since the establishment of the base city, various procedures would be set up, and small loopholes would be corrected and continuously improved, so that a base city could operate normally!
As for basic meat... 50g of level 2 is equal to 100g of level 1! 50g of level 3 is equal to 100g of level 2! And so on.
A piece of 50g level 8 basic meat is equivalent to more than 6000g level 1 basic meat. At this stage, few people can kill level 8 zombies, and even if they kill them by chance, they may not get basic meat, after all, the probability of it appearing is one in ten.
"Level 8 basic meat!" The girl looked at the basic meat, her heart trembled, her eyes filled with shock. After the supervisor next to her poked her secretly, she came to her senses and quickly gave it to her supervisor to test it on the spot.
Basic meat is rich in nutrition, and its strength can be judged with a newly made and improved nutrition tester.
A moment later——
"That's right, according to the degree standard on the tester, it is level 8!" the male supervisor said in shock.
"Housing certificates, six copies!" Ye Chen said coldly.
The man in charge suddenly woke up, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Please tell me your names, I will register them."
Ye Chen reported the names one by one.
After the man in charge finished the registration, he took out a few housing certificates from the drawer, outlined them with a pen, and handed them to Ye Chen, saying, "This is the housing certificate. It has the address of the house and our contact information. With this certificate, you don't have to pay the city entrance fee when you enter the base city. When the prosecutor verifies the information, he will contact us and tell you the house address and name. After we confirm it, there will be no problem."
After Ye Chen took it, he gave one to each person, and the expiration time marked on it was: 3h4.6!
"Let's go." Led by a beautiful and lovely waitress, the group walked towards the rented house.
