Xiao Liu was a little panicked, afraid that he had done something wrong.
"This morning, Brother Xiang and I went looking for something to eat, and we happened to run into a distant relative. He asked about my situation, and then asked me to go out and meet him in an hour or two. He then handed me a lunch box and a black bag."
At this point, Xiao Liu remembered that his small bag was still stuffed in his schoolbag.
He quickly took his schoolbag and opened the black bag given to him by his relative. The black bag contained a small bottle of water and some whole wheat bread.
"Your distant relative is so good to you..." Nowadays, being able to provide such a little food can definitely save a life.
Not to mention distant relatives, even your own brothers may not share any food with you.
"Yeah, he gave it to me out of pity for me, and he even watched me eat a whole box before letting me go."
"By the way, he asked me where I am and what my situation is. He told me to come to him anytime if I want to go to his base, but he won't support me. He told me to find a job on my own. For the sake of being a relative, he will help me with one or two meals if I go there. I will ask him to pay me back when I make money." Xiao Liu also knew the good intentions of his relatives, but these older brothers in front of him had rescued him from another base. How could he possibly leave these older brothers alone and go to another base?
He also knew that they would not go to other bases.
"Such good food, but I hope you won't be tricked into doing anything."
"Did your relative tell you what he was doing? Did he tell you how you were going to make money?"
If Xiao Liu wants to live in another base, they will agree to let him go even if they are reluctant. But before he goes, these older brothers must first analyze for him whether he can go.
Unable to escape from the suffering of hunger here, they fell into an even more miserable life.
"He said he usually works as a bricklayer and cleaning the base, making 3,000 yuan a month in Dawn City, not far from us."
Moving bricks?
Cleaning the base?
There are still three thousand yuan to be taken???
Luo Ziqiang and the others sounded a little unreliable.
What can you do with money these days? Can you buy food?
Do bases still hire someone specifically to clean these days?
"He also said he bought it from their base and asked me to ask if you guys wanted to come along. If we go later, there won't be any places to stay. Their base doesn't allow people to sleep on the streets."
“…”
"They're trying to lure all of us over. What do they want to do? Brother Luo, don't tell me you're just taking advantage of Xiao Liu's youth and want us to come over, tie us up, cut off our flesh, and dry it into jerky to eat?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
There was a small lunch box for about twenty people, plus whole wheat bread, so everyone only got a small half bite, but it made their stomachs feel much better after eating it, and they couldn't help but lick all the oil off the lunch box.
"Shall we go find something to eat now?"
Everyone was silent for a moment. Luo Ziqiang paced back and forth, then stared at the empty bottle of water for a long time before speaking. "Ten of us will go today to see what Dawn City is like. We'll be back in the evening. As for the rest of you, take good care of yourselves and wait for us at home."
"Xiao Liu is coming along this time. He'll take us to look for your distant relative."
Luo Ziqiang selected a few people with slightly stronger abilities to follow him.
A group of people nervously rushed to Dawn City. The closer they got, the more nervous they became. Although the high walls gave people a sense of security, the unknown areas always made people feel uneasy.
"How many people were there in the two cars? Are there any injuries? Please answer us honestly."
Just as they were thinking about how to get in, a loud sound like a trumpet was heard from the high wall.
You can't see clearly on the high wall from inside the car.
When they heard the sound of the loudspeaker, Luo Ziqiang and his companions were shocked. They gripped the steering wheel tightly, ready to drive away at any time if any zombies came.
After sitting in the car uncomfortably for several minutes.
Luo Ziqiang opened the car window and looked up.
We found that there were one or two soldiers in camouflage uniforms standing on the high wall, and one of them was holding a loudspeaker.
"Comrade, please pick up the microphone hanging on the wall and answer our questions."
"If you want to enter Dawn City, you need to go into the room and observe for two hours. If you don't want to enter, please leave as soon as possible."
"Brother Luo, are we still going?"
"Go, it's still early. If you go in two hours later and come out later, you'll still have time to go back in the evening."
After Luo Ziqiang took the microphone and answered the question, Shuguang City opened a small door for them to enter.
Walk in through the small door and follow the labels on the ground to the main gate.
Next to the gate, there are several small cubicles that can accommodate one or two people. One side of the cubicle is made of transparent glass, so you can clearly see the people inside.
There are probably only ten cubicles.
Fortunately, Luo Ziqiang only brought ten people, otherwise there would not be enough people to enter the observation room, and they would have to wait outside for two hours before they could get in.
In the cubicle, Luo Ziqiang sat on a stool and looked around through the glass, but he could only see some flowers and plants.
The flowers and plants they saw outside had long since withered and died, unlike these which were still green and had been maintained by someone.
If he was extremely hungry, he would just pluck all the flowers and plants like this and cook them to eat.
Two hours passed very slowly without a mobile phone or any entertainment.
Even in the tiny space, they felt like they were in prison.
When they are too annoyed to stay any longer.
Finally someone opened the door and congratulated them on being safe.
"Comrade Bing, isn't your military base gone? Is this your new base now?" Luo Ziqiang looked around and saw the Shuguang City Convenience Store in front of him.
He has good eyesight and can vaguely see that there are things on the shelves in the convenience store.
Luo Ziqiang was afraid that he had seen it wrong, so he rubbed his eyes and made sure it was not an illusion. He was so happy that he almost shouted out.
"Yes, it's gone. This is Dawn City. We have joined a new base."
"Comrade, do you also want to become a resident of our Dawn City? Please go straight to the office to apply for a resident certificate."
Luo Ziqiang did not forget their original intention. If he wanted to join the new base, everyone had to agree.
"Let's take a look first before we go over. Can we go to that store and take a look?"
"Sure. Remember to pay for what you buy. There will be a clerk over there to explain it to you."
Luo Ziqiang and several others entered the convenience store in a trance, holding self-defense weapons in one hand.
If there hadn't been a shop assistant next to them explaining their payment mechanism and other matters, they would have pounced on the food without even taking another look at it.
