The wind is biting cold, deep autumn has arrived.
Shui Bingbing wrapped herself in the blanket, put her white jade-like hands to her mouth and blew out a breath of hot air.
"It's really cold now. We need to prepare firewood for the winter when we go back. The price of firewood in the safe zone has risen to a sky-high price. It seems that we can only ask Cao Rui and the others to go out of the city together and do it ourselves..."
Zhao Lin was surprised and asked, "I have almost wiped out all the nuclear beasts near the safe zone. Is firewood still so expensive?"
"That's right. Although many people go out to collect firewood, they don't have the right tools. It's just enough for daily cooking, but forget about heating in winter."
"I remember there were quite a few hunters chopping wood in the safe zone, and the amount was quite large every day. Why is the price so high?"
"Of course, those unscrupulous merchants are deliberately raising the prices and holding back on the goods. The hunters also hope that the prices will remain high so that they can earn more!"
"This bunch of profiteers!"
"The Safety Committee doesn't care?"
"There's no way to control it. Even if we catch a group, some will pop up again soon. How can we catch them all?"
"Moreover, these merchants are responsible for the circulation of goods. Once they are all arrested, the logistics will be suspended and the supplies in the safe zone will be in short supply. It will be difficult to deal with..."
Zhao Lin could understand.
Although the major security zones are gradually becoming independent, they still trade with each other and share what they have.
Protein blocks, coal, and various daily necessities all need to be transported by merchants.
Once the merchants are caught, they can't even find the source of goods.
At this moment, Shui Bingbing's satellite phone suddenly rang.
"It's...it's the commander calling!"
The commander is Hu Changbin, who was promoted from captain to commander-in-chief of the Zhaodu Army last time.
The call is connected.
"Bingbing, are you with Zhao Lin?"
"Yeah, what's wrong, Commander?" Shui Bingbing looked a little unnatural.
"It's urgent. Give the phone to Zhao Lin!"
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Lin answered the phone impatiently.
"Mr. Zhao, I have an urgent matter to trouble you. Please be sure to agree to it!" Hu Changbin said very sincerely.
"Go ahead, let me listen first!"
"We have just received an order from the Yanhuang Supreme Council that a Kunpeng transport plane has crashed nearby and we need to send a rescue team. There will be a significant reward for success or failure. I hope you can participate in the rescue!"
"An order from the Supreme Council?"
"Yes, please agree to it!"
The face of a respectable old man emerged in Zhao Lin's mind.
Although he is already in his twilight years, he still leads the last of humanity in a desperate fight in order to buy a glimmer of hope for humanity.
Although it failed in the end, its spirit is still shocking.
Finally, I don’t know what he remembered, but his eyes suddenly became extremely firm.
Just agree immediately.
"Okay, send me the location and we'll go there right away!"
Hu Changbin and Shui Bingbing were both confused. Why did this stingy Zhao change his personality so much?
Did you agree so easily?
Hu Changbin had already prepared more arguments, or offered many benefits, but he didn't expect to succeed so easily. He was stunned for a moment.
"Hmm?" Zhao Lin hummed in confusion, and Hu Changbin finally reacted.
"Okay, okay, I'll send the location right away!"
After hanging up the phone, a coordinate was sent directly to the satellite phone.
The car was equipped with the Beidou system, which enabled it to directly navigate and locate the vehicle. It then turned around and rapidly advanced towards the southwest of Zhaodu.
…
Southwest of Zhaodu, Fengcheng mining area.
This is a vast mountainous area with extremely complex terrain.
Continuous mountains and forests, Zhanghe Reservoir, scenic spots and forest parks.
Since the outbreak of the apocalypse, this land has been uninhabited, and no one knows how many horrible nuclear beasts have been bred there.
Zhao Lin and Shui Bingbing rushed to the Fengfeng mining area and had a smooth journey.
Even if they encountered nuclear beasts, they would be killed directly by Zhao Lin's swarm of insects, so naturally there would be no accidents.
Looking at the overlapping mountains and lush forests in front of them, neither of them knew how to start.
"They really know how to choose a place. How are we going to find it if it crashes in a place like this?" Shui Bingbing couldn't help but complain.
Zhao Lin was speechless.
It's as if people are willing to crash here.
