Half an hour later, Su Han, who had walked for a long time but saw nothing, began to doubt her life. She almost thought she was back in the desert dungeon. No matter how she walked, the surrounding scenery did not change much.
Just then she smelled bacon.
Su Han's heart moved, and he couldn't help but walk over following the smell.
Intermittent conversations came from a distance——
"Ugh! This biscuit is dry and rough, and...it makes my throat hurt."
"You're spoiled! Don't eat if you can't eat it!"
"Put the cake in your mouth, then drink some water to soak it... Close your eyes, and you'll be able to swallow it, right?"
"It tastes terrible, so terrible! If this had happened half a year ago, I would have thrown this cake into the trash without even looking at it."
"Just bear with it... the profits are good. When we get back, we can enjoy delicious food and drinks!"
"Bragging. The profit is OK, but it's just slightly better than usual. What do you mean by eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks? Do you have a mine at home?"
"I say, why do you eat alone? Don't you feel guilty about eating bacon alone?!"
"Not at all. There was only one portion of bacon per member, and you ate your portion long ago. What's it to me?"
"Hey you……"
The closer you get, the clearer the other person's conversation will be.
When the distance between them was seven or eight meters, Su Han deliberately cleared his throat to alert the other party of his presence.
"who?!"
The next second, two pistols and a sniper rifle were pointed at Su Han. Another person did not draw his gun, but just frowned and asked in a low voice.
Su Han took a quick look and immediately realized that this was a team of four, three of whom were armed, and the other was a driver, specifically responsible for driving.
At this moment, a van was parked beside the four people, and it looked like they were going to get off the van specifically for a meal.
Su Han raised his hands and said calmly, "I have no ill intentions, I just happened to pass by."
A burly man looked at Su Han warily and glanced behind her. But after looking for a long time, he found nothing. So he slowly asked, "Are you the only one?"
"Yes, just me." Su Han nodded calmly.
"What's the matter?" the man went straight to the point.
"Lost." Su Han had a blank expression on his face. "After walking for a long time, all I could see was a wasteland. There was no shelter, no people, no houses." There wasn't even any green plants.
The man said impatiently, "I'm not interested in why you're here. If you have nothing to do, just get out of here."
It was the end of the world. He couldn't even take care of his own food and clothing, let alone have the sympathy to give to others.
However, Su Han never had any naive thoughts. She just used a business tone to negotiate, and said, "You have a car, right? If I want to hitchhike to the shelter, what will it cost?"
Rather than wandering around in the wilderness and having "surprise" encounters with zombies from time to time, she felt that she should just listen to the call of fate and stay in the shelter honestly.
As for if the other party had bad intentions... Su Han lowered his eyes. He would just kill them, seize the car and drive it himself. It would be a bit troublesome without anyone to lead the way.
With plenty of bullets, high physical strength, and grenades in his personal warehouse, Su Han has many trump cards at his disposal, and there is no fear at all on his face.
The four of them looked at each other, not understanding where the woman in front of them got the confidence from. She didn't even have a backpack with her, and looked extremely poor.
The man said in a hoarse voice, "It's not impossible to give you a ride, but are you sure you can afford the price? We are not picky. Food, water, daily necessities, and medicine can all be used as rewards."
Su Han thought, to be honest, I have all these supplies. But although I am not afraid of getting into trouble, I would avoid it if I can. There is no need to take the initiative to provoke.
Su Han reached into his trouser pocket and took out two bars of soap after a while. He said seriously, "This is the handmade soap I made."
Four people, "!!!"
After the outbreak of an unknown virus, the survivors were busy fleeing for shelter, and all factories were shut down. As a result, daily necessities became less and less, and were even out of stock at one point.
Occasionally people would search around and find some daily necessities that had not been taken away, but that was just a drop in the bucket and was far from enough to meet the demand.
In today's world, having a practical skill is very popular and sought after! At least the man knows that a caravan in the shelter accidentally discovered a lot of raw materials and is now looking for bakers, soap makers, chefs and other craftsmen.
The man's face turned serious, and his attitude immediately became friendly, "Are you going to the shelter? No problem! It's just on the way."
"Are two bars of soap enough for the travel expenses?" Su Han asked.
The man nodded repeatedly, "Enough, enough."
"That's good." Su Han handed over the soap and then found a seat nearby to sit down.
The four-man team continued to eat their dry food in bitterness and hatred.
Su Han looked left and right and couldn't help asking, "Isn't it good to eat while driving? Why do you have to stop to rest?" Aren't you afraid of being besieged by zombies?
The man replied, "Because it's an old car, it will stall every twenty minutes or so."
Su Han, "..."
So that's how it is. These guys stopped here without any intention.
A quarter of an hour later, the four of them finished their meal. The old car had rested enough and finally showed mercy and went back to work.
Su Han sat in the passenger seat, enduring the bumpy ride and several misfires of the old car, and finally arrived at the shelter successfully two hours later.
When she arrived at the destination, she looked around carefully and couldn't help but frowning deeply.
The so-called shelter was of a rather peculiar style. In the center was a plot of land surrounded by a wooden fence. Inside the fence, many wooden houses were neatly arranged. There was an exit at the front and back, both heavily guarded.
Outside the fence, there were thatched houses and tents mixed together, like buildings that had been built randomly, without any rules. Some of the houses were decent, but some were already tattered and could not block the wind or rain.
Since this was Su Han's first time at the shelter, the man took the initiative to explain, "The area inside the fence is called the inner circle, which is reserved for rich people. To live in the inner circle, you must pay protection fees, housing fees, and other fees every day."
"The entrances and exits are guarded. Even if you just go in once and come out quickly, you still have to pay a toll."
"In comparison, the cost of living in the outer ring is much cheaper. If you are short of money, you can choose to share a house with others."
Out of a desire to make friends, the man patiently explained.
Su Han nodded in agreement, "Okay, I understand, thank you very much." She wanted to give him an extra bar of soap, but then she thought that would be too eye-catching and might cause unnecessary trouble, so she gave up the idea.
"Contact us when you have time." After saying hello, the man left with his brothers.
After they walked away, one of the brothers lowered his voice and asked in confusion, "Are you really leaving like this?" He was afraid that he would not be able to sleep tonight if he let the fat sheep go so easily.
The man snorted coldly, "He's a craftsman, he doesn't have a large stock of goods, can you still force him to make soap? It's better to maintain a good relationship first, so that it will be convenient for him to ask for help in the future."
"Ah..." Another person was dejected and couldn't help sighing, "Before the apocalypse, why didn't I think of learning a skill? If I knew how to make handmade soap and cook, would I have to work in a dangerous industry and live with my head tied to my belt every day? I would have stayed in the shelter and enjoyed a comfortable life!"
"As the saying goes, if you learn math, physics and chemistry well, you won't be afraid of traveling around the world?" The man sighed, regretting that he had not studied hard before.
**
Su Han stayed where he was and carefully observed the movements of the residents in the shelter. After studying for a while, he realized that the real shelter was only the inner circle, that is, within the fence.
If the player can afford the price, he can easily enter the center and enjoy VIP treatment. On weekdays, there are not only NPC guards for safety, but also nice wooden houses to live in.
If there is not enough supplies, you will be in big trouble. Players must venture out to collect supplies and be on guard against attacks from zombies at all times. The residential area (outer circle) is full of people and snakes, and you never know when someone will take advantage of the dark to stab you.
The gap in treatment is so huge, it's like heaven and hell.
Su Han was immersed in his own thoughts when he suddenly heard a clamor in his ears. "Look here, everyone, look here. Breaking news, there is a very low chance that a crystal the size of a finger will appear in the brain of a zombie. One crystal can be made into three bottles of potion, and after drinking it, you will be completely immune to attacks by unknown viruses!"
"How can a crystal grow in a zombie's brain? There should be a limit to the nonsense you can talk about."
"Extremely low chance? How low is it?"
"It's obvious that you're lying. Instead of lying, you might as well do something more serious. It's boring!"
A guy wearing a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses, who looked like a researcher, walked over. He spoke slowly, his voice quite cold, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I'm putting it here. I'm willing to pay a high price for crystals. One crystal can be exchanged for 100 kilograms of rice. As long as someone can bring out the crystals I want, I'll exchange as many as I want!"
People were skeptical, “Is this true?”
But the price of one hundred kilograms of rice was really tempting, and some people were tempted immediately.
At this time, the survivors only had the idea of "how to stockpile supplies" and "how to stockpile more supplies" in their minds. As for the zombies, no one wanted to bother with them. Unless they were surrounded by a group of zombies while searching for supplies and had to clear a path, most people would rather escape than fight.
But now, the zombies may have crystals in their heads, which provides a great reason for the survivors to take the initiative to fight the zombies - one crystal can be exchanged for 100 kilograms of rice!
People's hearts are in turmoil.
Some of the surviving residents thought it would not hurt to try it when they had time.
Su Han watched indifferently, watching these people act out. They said that there were crystals in the heads of zombies, and that the crystals could be made into potions that could make people immune to unknown viruses after drinking them. It was obvious that it was a lie! They said this deliberately just to trick the survivors into fighting the zombies.
There are 1,000 players, 4,000 NPCs, and 50,000 zombies in the server. According to preliminary calculations, as long as each player kills ten zombies, the zombie swarm in the instance will be cleared.
But in practice, it was not that simple. The survivors tried their best to avoid direct confrontation with the zombies; many of the 5,000 people were logistics personnel who had no combat capabilities; the fewer people involved in the battle, the greater the pressure on each person, and the more zombies they needed to kill. Therefore, Su Han did not plan to confront the zombies head-on at first.
The author has something to say: Zhong Rui: Even after arriving at the shelter, the little friend’s mind is still not on finding someone-_-||
Q: Why are you sure it is a scam?
Su Han replied: It's a crappy game, how could they tell me how to make the antidote on the first day? How can it be called an unknown virus?
