The first step is to choose a suitable shelter.
Su Han thought to herself, if the war failed, every corner of the city would be thoroughly searched by the enemy, and no residence on the ground would be safe. What she wanted to find was a hidden basement!
It's just that it's not easy to find a suitable place when you are unfamiliar with the place. It would be great if there were an air-raid shelter in the city, but it's also difficult to find the specific location.
Su Han thought as he moved forward.
Not far away, someone was standing at the street corner looking around. But when he saw Su Han, he immediately showed a look of disdain, then turned his head away abruptly, as if he had no interest in taking another look.
Su Han thought to himself that it was indeed the backpack's fault that he was targeted.
To confirm further, she pulled out a 1/2 fuel lighter from her pocket and played with it carelessly, "I want to ask you something, and the reward is this lighter in your hand. Are you free?"
The man's eyes flashed with surprise and joy, and then his attitude changed drastically. He said enthusiastically, "When you're free, just ask me anything!"
"Are there air-raid shelters in the city?" Su Han was the first to ask the question he wanted to know most.
"There is no such thing." The other party answered without hesitation.
Su Han's eyes darkened. Was it really that there was no such thing, or did this person not know? This remains to be discussed.
After thinking for a while, she continued to ask, "Is there a trading market nearby where we can trade information and exchange materials?"
The other party looked Su Han up and down, his expression somewhat unfathomable.
Su Han added calmly, "I'm a middleman. I have some channel to get lighters steadily. I need to find someone to exchange supplies with."
If she is a middleman, it means that she is not wealthy and not worth robbing. If she has a way to get the lighter, it means that it is very useful to keep her. In this way, most people will choose to befriend her so as to trade with her in the future.
Stable! Get! Lighter!
The man felt a burning sensation in his heart and couldn't wait to say, "You can switch with me."
Su Han smiled and shook his head, but his tone was particularly firm, and he asked again, "Do you know where I can find it?"
The man was unwilling to give up, but couldn't bear to part with his lighter, so he pointed in a certain direction and said, "Walk forward for twenty minutes and you will see a white residential building with about ten people gathered inside. I have dealt with them before, and they are decent people, they keep their words, and they have a lot of wealth. If you are brave enough, you can talk to them."
Su Han's face froze. More than ten people... Hearing that made him not want to go over.
"Are there other trading markets?" she couldn't help but ask.
The man was single, and said bluntly, "Yes, there is, but if there are many people to trade with, we will just trade normally, and if there are few, we will just rob. You are alone, do you really want to go there?"
Su Han, "..."
Why are these guys still doing side jobs to generate income? !
"Thanks." She sighed and threw the lighter to the other person.
Finally, the man looked at Su Han deeply and said seriously, "Although the world is bad, not everyone is a bad person. White residential buildings are safer. It's the truth. Believe it or not."
As he said this, he waved his hand and waited for the next business to come.
Su Han was skeptical and went in that direction first.
After the people walked away, the guy standing at the street corner whispered, "Once you go there, you'll know it's real. It's not a lie. I came from a white residential building, how could I not know that!"
…
Soon, Su Han saw the white residential building. She didn't rush in, but walked around it first. Soon, she found that the residential building was unusual.
Beans are planted in the flower beds, and potatoes and carrots are planted in the green belts. There are two shallow wells in the middle of the community, and solar panels on the roof of the house can provide electricity. In other words, food, drinking water, and electricity are all taken into consideration.
"A player did it?" Su Han looked up at the solar panels and thought that NPCs couldn't be that smart. If NPCs were that powerful, how could other players survive?
Just then, a person stuck his head out of the window, and he looked particularly familiar.
It was Zhong Rui.
Su Han, "..."
This guy makes a bigger noise each time.
Zhong Rui also saw his friend, so he shouted, "Wait, I'll pick you up."
Entering without permission might be considered an enemy attack, so Su Han waited patiently outside the community.
Soon, Zhong Rui arrived outside the community, and the two finally successfully met up. At this time, it was already the seventh day of the game, and it was almost noon.
"I heard that there are more than a dozen people in the building, all of whom are supported by you?" Su Han was quite curious. She did not doubt that her friend had this ability, because although she had no such idea, she could do it if she wanted to.
"Well, just in case." Zhong Rui said seriously, "I suspect that we may be defeated and the enemy may enter the city to launch guerrilla warfare, so we need manpower."
"After the 10th day, players can leave the dungeon at any time and anywhere. It is unreliable. It is more appropriate to raise NPCs."
"That's impressive too." Su Han sighed, "More than ten mouths! It's not easy to feed them."
Zhong Rui led the way while chatting with his friends, "It's not that difficult. We already grow crops in the community, and it's time to harvest them. I asked people to dig two shallow wells, build a solar panel, and use traps to catch some prey. I also exchanged what I had with others, and we got by."
"After entering the game, I found two white supply boxes. I also brought a lot of things in my portable warehouse, so I am not short of supplies."
"If it weren't for the difficulty in getting clean drinking water, I would have planned to recruit more people. But now I think it's better to forget it. I don't have so many weapons to arm them."
Su Han secretly sighed, his friend is really awesome!
She continued, "Are there bomb shelters in the city?"
Zhong Rui shook his head regretfully, "I sent people to search everywhere, but there was nothing."
"basement?"
Zhong Rui lowered his voice and said, "It's right under the residential building."
Su Han's eyes lit up.
The two told each other about their experiences since entering the game, and soon it was lunch time.
Zhong Rui took the opportunity to introduce Su Han to his men, "This is my companion, her name is Su Han."
Everyone was silent. From time to time, some people looked at Su Han with inquiring eyes, as if they wanted to see her true thoughts.
Su Han didn't mind. When a new member came to a gang, he would be looked at with suspicion.
So she did two things.
The first thing I did was to find an iron pot, light a fire, add mineral water and five packets of instant noodles, boil them, and then treat everyone to a meal.
The second thing is to take out the household chlorine-containing liquid bleach obtained earlier and pour it into a large plastic barrel filled with water for disinfection and purification.
Almost instantly, the NPC's eyes turned kinder when he looked at her.
Zhong Rui sighed softly, "You really know how to win people's hearts."
Su Han responded with a smile, "It's not a difficult thing at all."
Zhong Rui shook his head and began to introduce his friends one by one. "The two kids over there are named Gao, and they are twins. The older one is called Da Gao, and the younger one is called Xiao Gao. They almost starved to death because they had nothing to eat, so they came to help just to have a meal."
"The middle-aged man with glasses is called Qian Jun. Some time ago, his wife had a high fever and almost died. I gave her antipyretic medicine and saved her life. From then on, he was willing to work for me."
…
"Some even thought it was better to hang out with me than to live alone, so they came to join me."
As they were talking, a man hurriedly walked into the community, shouting, "It smells so good! Why didn't you tell me you were cooking instant noodles?"
Zhong Rui pointed, "For example, he, Yuan Qing, came to us on his own initiative."
Su Han, "..."
This guy named Yuanqing was actually the guy who was giving directions at the intersection.
Su Han thought with a wooden face, I thought he was a good person, but was he actually trying to attract business for his family? Although what he said was indeed the truth and Zhong Rui was indeed very trustworthy, at this moment, Su Han felt very complicated.
Next to him, Yuanqing grabbed the noodles and slurped them up with the soup, in high spirits.
When he saw Su Han from the corner of his eye, he came over excitedly to show off, "How is it, did I not lie to you? Is the transaction fair and safe?"
Da Gao whispered, "I know the boss."
Xiao Gao muttered, "The instant noodles you eat are also given to you by others."
Qian Jun adjusted his glasses and added, "She also donated bleach. In the next two days, no one will have to worry about having no water to drink."
Yuan Qing: "..."
If he deceived this guy, wouldn't he be hanged on the wall and his body be mutilated?
Thinking of this, Yuanqing's face turned green.
Su Han, on the other hand, said magnanimously, "Thanks to you, I was able to successfully reunite with Zhong Rui."
"Hehehe." Yuan Qing laughed dryly and ran away quickly.
Su Han looked around and found that everyone's face was filled with happy smiles, as if eating instant noodles was a big deal.
"Have you been hungry for too long?" she sighed.
"Have we been trapped in the war for a year?" Zhong Rui said casually, "Some people have sufficient supplies, and their homes have rice, flour and oil. They are still willing to plant crops and raise rabbits and pigeons, but most people are facing the risk of starvation every day."
"What are your plans next?" Su Han asked.
"It depends on what the system says. If we are really defeated and the enemy enters the city, then we will organize our people and fight together. If that doesn't happen, then we will maintain the status quo. If other situations arise, then we will act according to circumstances. If we can't cope with it, then everyone will go their separate ways and make a living on their own." Zhong Rui said indifferently.
Su Han remained silent. Indeed, if an emergency occurred, it would be a blessing to be able to save themselves, as they could not save everyone.
With a sigh, she changed the subject, "You're lucky. The NPCs you've rescued are all good people."
Zhong Rui glanced at his friend and said nonchalantly, "That's because those with bad character and those who repay kindness with enmity have all been killed by me."
Su Han, "..."
"I saved a life, but someone wanted to take my property. What else can I say? If you don't know how to repay a favor, then give your life back to me." Zhong Rui smiled coldly.
No one would feel happy if they were cheated after saving someone.
"You did the right thing." Su Han laughed at himself, "I was too naive for a moment."
If you calm down and think about it, you will understand that the NPCs you encounter are both good and bad, and this is normal.
