Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi went up to the room.

They shared a room, while Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian were next to them.

The rooms provided by the hotel were similar to the rooms that cost a hundred blocks before the catastrophe, with white walls, a work desk, and a bathroom.

As soon as Xia Lunong entered the room, he was immediately attracted by the computer on the work desk.

He could hardly wait to turn on the computer.

Kong Zhi, Xia Huoqu and the other two stood behind him.

The computer turned on, with a familiar blue background.

Xia Lunong subconsciously clicked on the webpage.

When the webpage was opened, the navigation was already on the homepage.

When the webpage was entered, there were forums and trading markets.

The four of them browsed the webpage for a long time and got a lot of information.

Yan Xinian shook his head and said, "I never thought that in just one year, the Black Gold Base has developed to this point."

Xia Huoqu said, "Human beings are much more powerful than any other two plants, birds and beasts. The animals and plants outside have already changed to that point, why can't humans develop to this point?"

After Xia Huoqu said this, the four of them fell silent.

Xia Lunong looked at this one, then looked at that one, and suddenly asked, "Brother, should our base keep up with this wave of development?"

Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian looked at each other.

Xia Huoqu unexpectedly asked Kong Zhi, "Kong Zhi, what do you think?"

"Technology and funding are not a problem. What we need is people." Kong Zhi said, "The population limits our possibility of developing into a large base."

Yan Xinian nodded and said, "People make us successful and people make us fail."

Xia Huoqu looked at Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi and asked, "Do you want two large bases?"

Xia Lunong asked, "With more people, will there be a lot of disputes?"

Kong Zhi said, "That's inevitable."

Xia Lunong pursed her lips.

Xia Huoqu sat back on the bed and said, "There are only four of us here, so you can speak freely."

Xia Lunong said, "I feel that whether it becomes a large base or not will not have much impact on our current life. But it is hard to say in the future. No one knows in which direction the mutant plants and animals will develop, and no one knows what the situation will be like."

He paused and said, "There are quite a lot of good things in our base."

An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure.

Xia Lunong feels that according to the trend of the Black Gold Base.

As more and more people are in these large bases and technology becomes more and more advanced, they will definitely expand outward.

At that time, those small bases with only supplies but no self-protection ability will be fat sheep.

No one will not be tempted by fat sheep.

Even if humans can be bestialized now, human nature is still human nature.

Kong Zhi said: "If we want to develop into two large bases, in addition to absorbing population, we also need to change the current development model of the base."

Yan Xinian asked: "Does this mean that our management model is too loose?"

Kong Zhi nodded, "If the two bases are still small bases, this village-style management model is enough. If we want to grow into a large base, this management model is far from enough."

Xia Huo said: "The management model is the simplest problem. Even if we don't go back to the base, we can easily build a new base from scratch in the other two places."

He looked around at the three people, "What we have to choose is the future development model of the base and implement it as soon as possible. From what we have come into contact with now, time is already very tight."

The four people fell into silence again.

Xia Lunong said, "We have only seen the Black Gold Base, and have not seen the most representative Spark Base. I am afraid that we have to see the Spark Base before we know which direction we are going to develop."

From the rumors they heard, the Spark Base is completely different from the Black Gold Base.

It is a base full of light and hope.

If they want to choose a base as a development template, they should choose the bright Spark Base instead of the gray Black Gold Base.

More importantly - if they really decide to develop their own base, it means that they have to run parallel with other bases and no longer continue China's two things.

Yan Xinian and Xia Huoqu indulged their base to develop freely and never interfered too much, which may not be without reasons for nostalgia for the old times.

Xia Huo said: "Xiao Nong is right. If we want to refer to it, we should at least choose two bases that develop in different directions for reference."

Kong Zhi said: "This is not a question of development. We must first formally establish the base, and then discuss development. Excuse me, our base is now more like a naturally formed settlement."

Yan Xinian raised his head, glanced at each of them, paused, and said: "The current situation has forced us to build our own base. Now the main If it's a question of which base model to adopt."

Xia Lunong looked around and said tentatively: "Maybe we can discuss this slowly? Anyway, it will take many days to go back, right?"

Yan Xinian nodded and said, "That's true."

Xia Huo said: "Then let's stay in the Black Gold Base for a few more days and try to see this base."

Xia Lunong immediately said: "I agree with this, let's take a look at their crop seeds first to see if we can exchange them for modified seeds."

"Money makes the world go round." Yan Xinian smiled, "That's definitely no problem. We not only need to change their seeds, but also their testing equipment. It would be best if we could use it to attract two groups of people back."

Upon hearing this, Xia Lunong immediately asked, "Like Mai Dong and the others?" Yan Xinian

said, "Of course they are among them."

The four of them turned on their computers and checked all the forum content on the computers. They didn't go down until after lunch.

The receptionist had been replaced.

The two receptionists were still beautiful, tall, and had bestial features. After seeing them, they greeted them warmly.

The four of them went out with their bags on their backs.

The people outside were either people with bestial features or people wearing various kinds of armor.

They were carrying big bags and looked a bit out of place walking in the crowd.

Xia Lunong whispered, "Looking at this scene, it's hard to imagine that we are actually on the blue planet."

Kong Zhi whispered in his ear, "Maybe these scenes will become normal in the future."

"Really - biological evolution has taken two turns, and no one knows which direction it will rush to."

They whispered to each other.

Pedestrians hurried back and forth on the road, and no one paid attention to what they said. Even if someone occasionally heard a few words, they were not surprised.

They soon came to the free market.

The free market is very similar to the agricultural and trade market before the disaster.

The market is a huge building with a roof, which can be entered from all directions. There are two rows of cement platforms inside.

People put all kinds of things on the cement platforms for sale, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even weapons.

Many people in the market were carrying backpacks or baskets, and they blended in with the crowd, which was not unusual.

Xia Lunong looked left and right, and found that the things on most of the stalls were very mixed, and they did not look like they were specialized businesses.

These people should be collectors, and they would exchange whatever they collected.

Most people in this market accept bartering, and they also accept money in exchange.

They walked around the market twice, and soon found that there were managers on the side of the market, and also found some empty stalls that were not rented out.

Yan Xinian said: "Let's rent a stall and sell the fish."

Xia Huoqu raised his eyes and quickly understood what he meant.

Xia Huoqu said to Xia Lunong, "We'll take the fish out of the bamboo tubes later and sell them to see how many we can sell."

Xia Lunong met his brother's eyes and nodded slightly.

The process of renting a stall was very smooth. They had black gold coins that they had exchanged at the hotel, so they just had to pay the coins directly.

Their stall was in the last two rows on the east side, close to the outermost residential area.

That place has the least traffic and is not very popular. Several stalls are empty in a row.

This situation is just convenient for them to take the fish out of the bamboo tubes.

Several people had not planned to set up a stall before, so they didn't bring anything special.

Fortunately, the fish in the bamboo tubes were frozen hard before they were put in. After being in the bamboo tubes for so many days, the fish were still frozen hard.

The weather is cold now, so the fish won't thaw if they are put on the cement platform, so they can be sold directly.

They took the fish out of the bamboo tube.

With the backpack as a cover, they just needed to take as much fish as could be put in the backpack.

Several people were carrying large travel backpacks that were half a person's height. Two people took out more than 30 fish and soon filled the cement platform.

There were very few people selling fish in the market. Except for a few people who kept fish in small basins and sold them sporadically, basically no one sold fish on a large scale.

When they took out the fish, the fishy smell spread out, which attracted a lot of people's attention.

After all, most people in animal form are carnivores or omnivores.

Especially those with animal characteristics.

Their five senses are particularly sensitive, and they are particularly greedy for fish.

After Xia Lunong and the other four put the fish on display, they stood behind the stone platform. Most of the people nearby looked at them.

Yan Xinian put the fish on display, looked around with a smile, and shouted, "Fish for sale - come and have a look, cheap, fresh, big fat fish!"

He shouted in a very serious tone.

After shouting these two times, people soon gathered around.

"How do I exchange this fish?"

"Are your fish severely mutated?"

"What kind of fish do you have?"

Yan Xinian answered both questions in unison, "Not severely mutated. Anything can be exchanged. There are too many fish of the same kind, and we don't know, so you can choose for yourselves."

After these words were spoken, more people gathered around with interest.

Someone took out two potatoes from the basket in his hand with a smile, "Can potatoes be exchanged?"

The man happened to be standing in front of Kong Zhi.

Kong Zhi raised his eyelids and took a look, then said, "I'll give you a fish tail in exchange."

"Okay." The man smiled and took out a fish from the stall, "How about using this fish's tail in exchange?"

"Sure." Kong Zhi took the potato, picked up the fish, and picked up the hatchet from the side.

The stall owner across the street saw this scene and said enthusiastically, "Hey, cool guy, I have a chopping board here, I'll lend it to you."

"No need. Thank you." Kong Zhi picked up the fish, casually placed it on top of another frozen fish, and with a flick of his knife, he cut off the fish's tail directly.

His strength was extremely accurate.

He said he would cut off the tail of this fish, and he cut off the tail of this fish, and the fish below didn't even have a single scale broken.

In full view of the crowd, Kong Zhi handed the cut fish tail to the previous customer, "Thank you for your patronage."

The customer took the short fish tail, smiled awkwardly, whispered thanks, put the fish tail into the basket, and turned away.

The two people who could wield the knives in their hands so accurately must be very powerful.

Now is not before the catastrophe, and one can be killed if he is not careful. The man did not want to test anything.

After Kong Zhi chopped off the two pieces, the eyes of the people around him changed slightly.

Many people who wanted to come forward turned around and quietly left.

Yan Xinian smiled and shouted, as if he hadn't noticed anything, "It's time to exchange fish. Wild big fat fish are on sale! Anything can be exchanged!"

Two potatoes can be exchanged for a piece of fish tail, which seems to be a good deal.

Many customers who were not worried gathered around, and after choosing the fish, they started to negotiate the price.

The fish on Yan Xinian's stall were big and small, and all of them could be chopped and cut. As many as they wanted to exchange.

Their business was getting more and more prosperous.

Soon, the customers found that except for the smallest and most delicate boy, the knife skills of the other three were superb. They used the fish as a cushion to chop the fish, and they could chop as much as they wanted, and the fish scales used as a cushion would not be broken.

I don't know where these experts came from.

After seeing this situation, the two people who were secretly preparing to make a move quickly dispersed.
