The moment the three of them stepped inside, they quickly attracted a lot of attention.
"Are you three new here?" a man carrying a rifle on his back asked with a smile.
"Yes, we just came from another city. Could you please tell us about the situation here?"
"Alright, alright. Our boss here is called Master Jin. He's the most powerful person in our city. If you want to stay here, you'll have to sell your labor in exchange for food. Of course, you can also go out and find food or other valuable things to exchange for goods. Understand?"
"I understand, I understand, thank you for your guidance, brother!"
"Okay, the three of you go over there to register. As for where to stay, you can move into any of those buildings over there as long as they're not occupied."
"Thank you, brother!"
"Okay, go register quickly!"
Wang Bin and the other two agreed and went to the registration desk.
"Did you bring your ID card?" The person at the registration desk was a middle-aged woman in her forties. She had a condescending attitude and spoke in a very impatient tone.
"It's long gone."
“It’s lost. Never mind. Just write your names, genders, ages, and the cities you used to live in here.”
After speaking, the middle-aged woman looked impatient and took out a notebook, pushing it in front of the three of them.
Wang Bin gestured for Officer Miao to fill out the form first, followed by Guan Xiaoyue, and finally Wang Bin himself.
After registering, Wang Bin thanked him and left, then wandered around the area.
After looking around, Wang Bin realized that this must be a renovation of a high-end residential area.
This residential area is very large, with more than ten buildings. The land that was previously used for green space has been converted into farmland, but the scale is not large enough to feed all the residents.
Having read this far, Wang Bin already had a rough idea of what this place was like.
"Let's go find a place to stay first, and then find a chance to scout out the situation here!"
The three arrived at a building, climbed up several floors along the stairwell, and then walked towards the corridor.
Most of the doors to the houses had been destroyed. When the three of them went inside, they found that almost everything that was still usable had been taken away.
Wang Bin chose to stay in the room at the very end of the corridor. The door could be closed with difficulty, but they had to block it with something when they slept at night to prevent someone from sneaking in and slitting their throats while they were asleep.
"This will serve as our temporary residence from now on. Let's wait here for a while, and then go down to gather some information after they finish their work and rest."
"good!"
Wang Bin and his two companions each went to a window and secretly peered out.
As the sun was about to set, the workers finally stopped what they were doing and lined up to get their food. Wang Bin took out his binoculars and glanced at the food. He saw that each person had only a tiny bit of food in their plate, not enough to fill them up, but no one complained and they obediently lined up.
Wang Bin noticed that one of the burly men, after receiving his food, did not eat immediately like the others, but instead carefully carried the plate towards the building where they were.
Not long after the man entered the building, he hurriedly carried a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old on his back and ran towards the crowd. Soon after, an argument broke out in the crowd.
"Let's go, let's go take a look!" Seeing the argument, Wang Bin quickly called Guan Xiaoyue and Officer Miao and ran downstairs.
When they ran over, they learned that the man's sister had a high fever and wanted Jin Ye's doctor to take a look, but the doctor said he wouldn't help unless there was food or anything else of value.
In the end, the man even knelt down before the doctor to save his sister, but the doctor still refused him without hesitation.
"Dazhu, I think you should go out and look for a pharmacy to see if they have any medicine."
"The nearby pharmacies have been searched countless times, how could we possibly find the medicine?"
"That's true, we guess we can only look in the north of the city!"
"There are so many zombies in the north of the city, going there is suicide!"
"Wow!"
Hearing the crowd's murmurs, the man resolutely stood up, still holding his sister, and walked towards the building.
His sister is his only family now. If anything were to happen to her, he doesn't know how he would cope.
When everyone saw Dazhu carrying his younger sister back, they couldn't help but sigh.
There are too many zombies in the north of the city. Going there is tantamount to death. They seem to have already foreseen that Dazhu will die in the mouth of the zombies.
"Walk."
After Wang Bin and Da Zhu walked away, he followed with Guan Xiaoyue and Officer Miao.
As soon as Dazhu carried his younger sister into the building, Wang Bin immediately followed with Guan Xiaoyue and Officer Miao.
Dazhu was very vigilant. When he saw Wang Bin and the other two quickly following, he immediately hugged his sister and retreated to the corner of the wall, keeping a wary eye on them.
Da Zhu's eyes were very sharp, and Wang Bin could feel a fierce aura emanating from him.
"Don't misunderstand, I just heard you were looking for medicine. We just came from another city and happened to have some medicine with us." As he spoke, Wang Bin took out a first-aid kit from his backpack, took out some fever reducers, and handed them to Dazhu. Of course, the reason he took them out of his backpack instead of directly from the system was to avoid arousing suspicion.
"What do you want?" Even though Dazhu desperately needed the medicine, he didn't take it immediately. He knew there was no such thing as a free lunch, especially in this apocalyptic world. If someone provides you with what you need, they're bound to want something in return.
