Chapter 7 Entering the City (1)

Li Ba can swear that he has never eaten such delicious fruit in his life. It should be said to be melon. The green jade melon grown in the bracelet space is big, sweet, crispy and delicious, making people unable to stop eating it.

The melon weighing fifteen or sixteen pounds was soon eaten up by him and his gang. One big and one small lying on the wooden bed, his belly was so round that he couldn't move.

"It's so cool..."

Since the damn end of the world, it was the first time that Li Ba had enough to eat. He touched his big belly and his fat face was satisfied. With the mysterious space, he no longer had to worry about not being able to eat enough. Next, he urgently needed to solve the safety problem.

The refugee camp is too chaotic and has poor conditions, so it is not suitable for living. Therefore, if you want to seek a stable and peaceful life in the end of the world, you must go to the city.

"Enter the city! Be sure to enter the city!"

Li Ba was lying on the bed, his little eyes flashed with a gleam. With the mysterious space, he could plant and obtain a large amount of food. It should be no problem to enter the city.

The rules of Xibu settlements are that refugees can obtain the qualification to enter the city as long as they pay a certain amount of supplies. Li Ba is not sure how much they have to pay. He has never gone out to look for supplies and has no idea about it.

"We have to go to the north gate to find out the situation before we talk about it."

After the doomsday came, the weather seemed to be affected, with little rain and drought, and the scorching sun hanging in the air. At most, it was only two hours, and all the clothes were dry outside were dry. After putting on the clothes, Li Ba was about to take Yuer and go to the north gate to find out the situation. As for the coolie work, he had a super-large green jade melon planted in the mysterious space, which had been abandoned by him.

When he went out, the girl grabbed a handful of dust from the ground and made her face dirty. Li Ba saw it and sighed in his heart that if it were a peaceful day, the little girl would definitely be in love with the care and love of her elders at this moment. Now, she can only rely on herself to protect herself.

Li Ba did not stop him. The little girl stained her face, perhaps, would avoid some trouble.

One big and one small, two figures walked towards the north gate of the settlement. At this time, looking at the sky, it was about nine o'clock. The coolies in the refugee camp had already gone to work, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled. Walking on the stenchy road, Li Ba swore in his heart that he must leave this damn refugee camp and take his wife to live a good life.

When we arrived at the north gate, the city gate was very lively, with pedestrians and cars, and the roars were endless, and people were entering and leaving. Looking at the people wearing camouflage uniforms and holding guns on the car, Li Ba Fei's fat face couldn't help but show envy. These guys were not all armed police officers and soldiers, and many of them were originally civilians. After the end of the world, they picked up guns and fought with zombies, and all those who survived were strong people. Some of them joined the official, and some teamed out to hunt zombies and search for supplies. Although they lived a life of licking blood from the knife, they were undoubtedly much more comfortable than those in the refugee camp.

Li Ba was reluctant to do this job when he went out to hunt zombies and searched for supplies. With his mysterious space, he believed that as long as he entered the city, he would not take long to live a good life with his wife.

On the left side of the city gate, there is a row of simple prefabricated houses. Many people gathered there, most of them were refugees. When Li Ba walked over with his men, he looked over and saw a blackboard in front of the prefabricated house, which was filled with various materials names, and also indicated the amount of materials needed to be handed over to the city.

Three hundred kilograms of food!

This is the fee that needs to be paid to enter the city, with 300 kilograms of grain per person.

Grain is a general term, which is also a standard for measuring the value of materials. The blackboard is written in detail, with a wide variety of materials, covering almost all daily necessities, and the exchange rate for grain is also different. For example, meat, one pound can be worth ten pounds of grain. A pound of live poultry and livestock is worth dozens of pounds of grain.

Li Ba looked down on the streets, and suddenly, his fat face trembled, and he unconsciously showed surprise. The blackboard was clearly written that fruits exchanged for grains are the same as meat, and one pound can be exchanged for ten pounds. There is also a mark next to it. If someone can pick edible mutant fruits from the mountain, after identification, one pound can be exchanged for thirty pounds of grain.

Mutant fruit!

I believe that it should be the mutated fruit that was affected by the damn end of the world. Its value is even higher than meat, which was unexpected to Li Ba. He thought in his mind that the super-large green jade melon planted in the mysterious space should be mutated fruits, regardless of appearance or taste. Otherwise, how could ordinary melon weigh more than ten pounds!

If the green jade melon planted in the mysterious space is really a mutant fruit, then one big melon will be worth nearly 500 kilograms of grain. Two big melons will allow him and his wife to obtain the qualification to enter the city, and there will be a lot more.

Li Ba was ecstatic and took Yu'er's little hand and quietly retreated from the crowd.

"Girl, stay here, don't run around. Uncle has something to do and will be back soon!" Li Ba said in a voice. He was impatient now and wanted to know the value of the super-large green jade melon he had planted. In order to avoid suspicion from his lover, he had to find a suitable reason to leave the refugee camp and go around for a while before he could take out the green jade melon openly.

But Yu'er didn't think so. Her big eyes were suspicious and begging. She held the corner of Li Ba's clothes with little hands and refused to let go.

"Silly girl!"

Li Ba immediately reacted and touched her little head, "Uncle won't leave you behind. Even if he dies, he will die with you." Seeing his round face full of sincere emotions, Yu'er let go of his hand without realizing it.

"wait for me."

Li Ba smiled and pinched the little girl's face, turned around and trotted away. He returned to the home of the refugee camp in one breath, took out a plastic bag from it, then left the refugee camp, and wandered around the nearby safe place.

Afterwards, he had four more green jade melons in his pocket on his shoulders. He was not sure whether the green jade melon he had grown was a mutant fruit, so he took out more. Even if the green jade melon is an ordinary fruit, it should be enough for him and his wife to get the qualification to enter the city.

Resisting the melon weighing sixty or seventy kilograms, Li Ba walked quickly and ran towards the city gate. He didn't want the little girl to wait in a hurry, and his pace accelerated unconsciously. The weight of 85 kilograms, plus the weight of 60 or seventy kilograms, had no effect at all, and the speed was faster than the previous 100-meter sprint!

Li Ba did not notice this. He was full of thoughts of entering the city and did not care about anything else. When he arrived at the city gate, he saw Guier poking his little head from afar, looking around, and seeing Li Ba coming, he cheered and came up.

"Let's go, uncle will take you into the city!"

Li Ba stopped, his face was not red, he was not angry, he patted his pocket on his shoulder, and greeted his subordinates to strode away.

Before the end of the world, Luo Jianguo was a middle-level cadre of the Liyang County Materials Bureau. When the end of the world came, he followed a local armed police force stationed in evacuation and came to Xibu. The man was quite right. After the establishment of the Xibu settlement, he was appointed as the deputy director of the Material Management Office, in charge of outer city affairs. Whenever he saw those skinny refugees with stench and stinking all over his body, he gathered around his desk and asked this and that, he had no disgust. Instead, he patiently explained the policies of the settlement to the refugees and paid their due diligence, which was commendable.

From the bottom of his heart, he sympathized with the refugees outside his settlement, but he also knew that the difficulties of the settlement were limited and he could not support so many people. He could only do his best to give some help to the refugees.

"Uncle, your radio is only worth three taels of food at most. If you want to enter the city... it is not enough!" Luo Jianguo fiddled with the radio in his hand, and said to an old man covered in dirty face in front of him with a look of apology. This radio may be worth dozens of yuan before the end of the world, but it is a waste in the end of the world. Survivors can't even have enough food to eat, so they have no intention of listening to the radio. Besides, when the end of the world comes, all communications are interrupted, and even if they want to listen to the radio, they can't listen.

"Leader, leader, I know this thing is not worth it. I didn't think about going to the city, I just wanted to change more food." The old man said tremblingly. For the sake of this radio, he ran to a nearby village and almost lost his life. He just wanted to change more food to fill his stomach.

"I am so old, it's no pity to die. I just want to... even if I die, I have to be a full-fledged ghost!"

After hearing this, Luo Jianguo nodded, his face was a little heavy, and said to his colleague next to him: "Xiao Li, give me half a kilogram of grain." There are strict regulations on the settlement, and if there is an extra two taels of grain, it is very likely that his salary will be deducted.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." The old man took half a pound of food, burst into tears, and turned around and left tremblingly. The half pound of food was composed of broken rice and corn. He went back to cook a pot of porridge, which was enough to eat for two days.

Seeing the old man leave, there were still many refugees staring at the old man like hungry wolf. Luo Jianguo sighed softly, if he was not lucky, the old man might not be able to wait to finish cooking the porridge, and the food had become someone else's.

This is the end of the world! The end of the world that cannibalize the wicked!

There are really a few of these refugees in front of them who can take out enough supplies and get the qualification to enter the city. Without guns, knives and powerful force, they go out to search for supplies, eat them by zombies, and be attacked by mutant beasts to death. This is the final outcome of most of them.
Chapter completed!
