From a distance, it looks like a bouquet of real flowers, and this thing will not wither like flowers. It is perfect for decorating the living room in the apocalypse.
The days were boring, so He Xiaobei started taking Shan out for a ride on his scooter at night again. This time they didn't go to the trading market, but came to the gate of the base.
He Xiaobei rode his scooter and watched from afar as groups of people were walking in one direction. They were all carrying large and small bags, and even spatulas.
She was very puzzled. What was this? Moving?
So she curiously stopped a woman carrying a bag. Although the woman's face looked a little pale, it was obvious that she was not severely malnourished.
He Xiaobei took out a piece of fruit candy from his pocket and handed it to the other person:
"Can I ask you a few questions?"
The woman saw the candy being handed to her, took it, looked around cautiously, and then put it directly into her pocket:
"Ask."
"Where are you going?"
"Where are you going? To work."
"Going to work? Then why are you carrying your luggage?"
"Hey... We're all living in a tent area now. If we don't bring our belongings with us when we go to work, we'll have nothing when we come back."
He Xiaobei suddenly realized that home is where the person is.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the woman looked at the team going to work again:
"Girl, do you have anything else to do? No, I have to go to work. If you are late, you will be deducted points."
"No, go away."
The woman turned around and plunged into the huge crowd.
She didn't leave immediately, but sat on the scooter where she was just now, carefully observing the crowd.
She wanted to see how people were living now, and also wanted to find Xie Xinghan by the way.
As he watched, he thought of Chu Hui again, and then he laughed at himself in his heart. He really had a big heart, otherwise how could he accommodate so many people.
However, until the crowd had almost all left, she still didn't see the other person, but she wasn't too disappointed.
After her observation just now, these people seemed to be in really good condition. They were not as thin and lifeless as the workers she saw at the Baishan base in her previous life.
They all had smiles and hope on their faces.
After looking at the crowd, she took Lightning to the so-called shantytown, but probably because most people went to work, there were only some old people and children sitting in front of a few scattered tents in the shantytown.
Most of them are children under ten years old. There are very few elderly people. If you go deeper, you can occasionally see a few young women.
In this place, everyone who can go to work has definitely gone to work, and women are no exception. The young women who can still rest here so peacefully are either sick or waiting for help from others.
He Xiaobei did not ride a bike, but pushed his small scooter among the group of people. As he walked, he saw a place similar to a small square.
From a distance, there are rows of drying racks supported by tree branches, all of which are hung with various meats. There are also elderly people or children guarding the racks.
She smelled an indescribable strange smell from a distance, and then stopped and didn't get any closer.
After thinking for a while, he took out a mask from his pocket and put it on his face, then continued walking forward.
The people guarding their drying racks saw her approaching and all looked at her warily.
He Xiaobei walked to the edge of the shelf, took out a can of eight-treasure porridge from his pocket, and handed it to the older woman who was guarding it:
"Can I ask you something?"
When the woman saw the eight-treasure porridge in her hand, her eyes suddenly lit up. She reached out and took the eight-treasure porridge, opened the lid directly, and without using a spoon, she wolfed it down into her mouth, mumbling as she ate:
"Ask, ask."
"What are you guys drying here?"
Although she had a general idea of it in her mind, she had already come here, what if there was something she didn't know?
The woman stuffed the eight-treasure porridge into her mouth vigorously, looking around from time to time, and then her eyes returned to He Xiaobei:
"It's all meat. There was an insect plague a while ago, and we caught a lot of snakes, insects, ants, and the like. Someone from the base came to tell us how to eat these things. They also said they were very nutritious."
He Xiaobei didn't say anything else, but just took another deep look at the densely packed shelves.
The base raised the prices of supplies, apparently not only because supplies were really in short supply, but also to encourage everyone to solve their own food problems.
Yes, who can support so many people for a lifetime? In case the situation becomes worse in the future, letting everyone train their survival skills in this area in advance is also a good start.
Even if these people lose the protection of the base in the future, they will have an extra ability to survive.
Without asking any more questions, she got on her scooter and turned around and left.
But she didn't go home directly, but left the base. She had been thinking about her Beetle, and this time she went out to smuggle it back.
At the gate of the base, the number of people leaving the base has obviously increased. Although the weather is still very hot, due to the rising prices of supplies, the scavengers have to leave the base again and go to the deserted city to look for usable supplies.
Because of the high temperature, there are very few people driving out of the city now. Most of these people ride tricycles or pull carts.
She found a queue that didn't look long and lined up at the back.
But she was so clean, and she was carrying a cat on her shoulder. She stood out from the crowd, and everyone turned to look at her, some even pointing and commenting.
Some people's eyes widened when they saw the lightning on her shoulder, and the expressions of greed and jealousy were all written on their faces.
In their eyes, this is no one's partner, but just a pot of delicious meat that can be eaten.
He Xiaobei didn't care. She even hoped that these people would come to cause trouble for her. After all, she had been in a slump for several months and had no chance to practice shooting.
After waiting in line for two hours, she finally walked out of the base gate.
But she was disappointed. For some reason, it seemed that there were more soldiers patrolling the road than before.
She rode her scooter along the road and soon saw a team of patrol soldiers wearing temperature-controlled suits passing by.
It seems that if I really want to practice shooting, I have to go far away. I smacked my lips regretfully, found a deserted place and rode directly into the forest.
Then she took out her cheap Beetle and put away her scooter. After thinking for a while, she put some supplies in the car.
