After the young man visited everyone's iron card, he turned around and wanted to leave, but was pulled by Bei Nuan.
"Wait. What does this iron card mean?"
The young man glanced at the F card on Bei Nuan's chest again, "I think it's better that you don't know."
When he turned around again and wanted to leave, this time without Bei Nuan pulling him, Lu Xingchi suddenly shot and grabbed him by the collar.
The young man was easily carried back by him.
Lu Xingchi's strength was not of the same order of magnitude as Bei Nuan's.
He grabbed the collar, and the young man was a little breathless.
Lu Xingchi spoke, "She asked you, what do the letters mean?"
The young man was so frightened that he shivered, "Don't do it, I'll tell you. Lao Hu has a very special ability. With just one look, he can see whether everyone can live in peace or die easily in the future. .
Lu Xingchi frowned and summed up for him, "You mean the chance of survival?"
The young man nodded quickly, "Yes, this is it. The letters written on the iron sign are your chances of survival."
Survival odds
This was far beyond Bei Nuan's expectations.
The young man explained, "A is the highest, and very few people can get an A card from Lao Hu. But until now, no matter what happened on the island, no A has ever died."
The young man added: "There are not many people who can get the B card from him. People die every day on the island, but there are really not many people who have a B card."
"The c card is okay, so a lot of c cards go to work that is dangerous and lucrative."
Bei Nuan understood that Grandma Wolf was a C card, so she dared to go outside the island full of zombies to become a human trafficker.
The young man continued, "The d card is barely enough. The e card like us is almost half buried in the soil."
He glanced at Bei Nuan again, "What about the F card... You don't know how many F have died on the island so far. Those who died of starvation, those who died of illness, those who were killed, those who broke their necks at work... "
Bei Nuan was quite disapproving of his babbling.
After a long time, this brand is still deceiving.
If you think about it, you can know that in the last days, in a place like the island where the weak can eat without any reason, of course, the younger and stronger people are more likely to survive.
Lu Xingchi and the others, when they stop there, they are people who eat and drink spicy food at the top of the food chain.
Like Bei Nuan, with small arms and small legs, she would probably lose in a fight with a big goose. She was obviously not suitable for survival.
Another example is Tang Tang, although not as strong as Lu Xingchi and the others, he is still much better than Bei Nuan, so it is normal to take a C.
"Isn't this nonsense," Bei Nuan said, pointing to Lu Xingchi, "I'm so different from him in physique, he must have a higher chance of surviving than mine, and he still needs a sign to hang around his neck?"
The young man saw her disapproval at a glance and shook his head.
"It has nothing to do with physique at all." The young man said quietly, his tone a little scary—
"The sign says your life."
The young man continued mysteriously.
"A few days ago, there were also a few people who had just arrived on the island. One of them was very big and had muscles all over his body. It was said that he used to fight underground black fists, but Lao Hu sent him an F."
"That person didn't believe it at all, what should he do, and it didn't take long for him to rob someone's belongings, but he stole it, but accidentally slipped his foot and fell onto the opponent's knife and died."
The young man added, "The one who was robbed by him was a thin and small b. His thighs were not as thick as his arms. Let me tell you, this kind of thing has not happened once or twice, it has always been like this."
Bei Nuan subconsciously grasped the iron plate on his chest, speechless.
The young man continued: "So Lao Hu will give you this F card, which means: you must die."
Bei Nuan found a point where he could attack.
"What's so strange about having to die? Who won't die? It's a person who has to die."
"What he means is," the young man actually smiled, "you will die, and in this end time, you will die quite quickly."
The tone of his eyes was gloomy and a little scary, and Bei Nuan shivered.
Bei Nuan suddenly understood why when the group of people who had stolen the tent was discovered last night, they immediately dropped the tent and ran away when they saw Lu Xingchi's "A" card.
On this island, who would fight someone who is doomed to die
If he can't die, it's you who will die.
Of course, it can flash as far as it can.
"Don't listen to his nonsense." Lu Xingchi let go of the young man and said to Bei Nuan.
When Lu Xingchi spoke, the young man did not dare to refute, and silently flashed away.
Several people continued to wander the streets.
At least one thing he must not have lied about, the sign of a is chiseled, and it looks like it is really rare.
Du Ruo's brand had just been pulled out, and he was hanging around outside his clothes. Many people's eyes kept on Du Ruo's chest, full of envy.
f is f.
Bei Nuan thought to himself, just relying on Du Ruomo to get an A from Lao Hu, the credit rating of the iron card will be greatly reduced.

Bei Nuan's attention was immediately attracted by all kinds of strange things in the market, and completely forgot about the iron card.
Bei Nuan wandered around and found a stall selling barbecue.
The roasted thing is a little smaller than a quail, and it looks like a bird like a small sparrow.
There was a fire next to the stall, and the dehaired bird meat was grilled on the fire, making a sizzling sound.
The aroma of barbecue wafted halfway across the street.
The person who was setting up the stall was a small child, thin and small, only ** years old, his face was dirty, and his hair was cut short, almost touching his scalp.
But intuitively, Bei Nuan thought it was a girl.
When Bei Nuan was studying Roast Sparrow, the girl asked quietly, "Are you the one who was with several a's?"
The gossip here spreads fast, and everyone seems to know it.
Bei Nuan generously pulled out the F card on his neck for her to visit.
The girl looked at Bei Nuan's F card, but her reaction was not as big as the young man just now.
She glanced at Lu Xingchi and the others behind Bei Nuan and lowered her voice, "I think you should stay away from them, you may live longer."
Bei Nuan's interest came, "Why?"
Bei Nuan has a pure and beautiful face like an angel, which makes people involuntarily like it, and the little girl patiently explained it to her.
It turns out that the weak eat the strong, and the island is full of pornography, gambling and drugs, but it is not completely chaotic. They spontaneously established a set of rules of their own.
It's stratification.
Needless to say, the top floor is, of course, the gang that was originally stationed on the island.
They control the resources of the island, and their lives are different from those of the bottom laborers. No one dared to provoke them, and they would surely die miserably.
The workers below are also divided into classes, that is, according to the iron cards.
The difference between the different brands is as big as a gulf.
For example, the d card is never played with the b card.
The reason is very simple. In such a place where one will die if one is not careful, a d and b are together. In case of danger, one will die, and the most likely death is d.
Therefore, it is generally safer and fairer to get together with people with iron cards.
This little girl who sells roasted sparrows is called Xiaoshao, and there is a b chiseled on the iron plate on her chest.
Because of the rare B-level iron medal, Xiaoshao dares to do something that many people on the island dare not do, that is, go up the mountain to catch birds.
Among the large mountains on the island, there is the highest stone mountain. There are many small bird nests on the mountain. It is delicious after roasting. It is a rare delicacy when there is a lack of meat.
But where there are such small birds, it is extremely dangerous.
The cliffs are high, steep, and slippery. When climbing, they will fall off if they are not careful. There are stones everywhere. It is a trivial matter to break arms and legs.
Furthermore, there is a highly venomous snake on this mountain. Once bitten, it will die immediately.
For this mouthful of bird meat, many people have died on the island.
Therefore, although there is no delicious food, and few people are willing to take risks to catch this kind of bird, it is much safer to be a laborer and receive wages.
Others dare not, but Xiaoshao dares.
She goes up the mountain to touch birds every day.
Hanging the B card, it is really different, and it has never happened.
Xiaoshao is a child, and he can't make any money doing hard work at all. He can make no less money than ordinary coolies by selling roasted birds for a day. At least he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking.
The people on the island believed in iron cards to the point of superstition. Although Xiaoshao was young, because the B card on her neck was very high, no one would usually come to trouble her.
Xiaoshao chatted with Bei Nuan for a long time before asking, "Sister, do you want to buy roasted birds?"
Bei Nuan was embarrassed, "but I have no money."
It was written in the book that the local currency of N country still circulated on the island, and Bei Nuan really did not have their kind of money.
The spoon said generously, "It's okay, I'll give you one, and give it to me when you have money."
Little Spoon picked the biggest one from the roasted sparrows that hadn't had time to put them on a string.
He took out a small tin can with a small hole from the side, sprinkled the powdered seasoning on it, wrapped it with a large piece of oily green leaves, and handed it to Bei Nuan.
It feels like out of deep sympathy for a mortal f.
With some kindness, Bei Nuan hurriedly took it and held it in his hand
As soon as the small spoon handed the roasting bird to Bei Nuan, there was a person next to him.
Most of the people on the island have yellow faces and thin skin, and their clothes are not ragged, but they are not much better.
He was about forty or fifty years old, with a big belly and a big flowered shirt.
As soon as Xiaoshao saw him, he immediately picked out a bunch of the fattest and largest roasted sparrows, sprinkled them with seasonings, and served them with both hands.
"Uncle Shi, would you like a bunch? The ones I picked up last night are absolutely fresh."
The man named "Uncle Shi" took it and smiled at Xiaoshao, "Xiaoshao, your roasted birds are delicious."
"If it's delicious, I'll have another bunch." The small spoon handed Uncle Shi another bunch.
Uncle Shi was satisfied, holding a bunch of roasted sparrows in each of his left and right hands, intending to leave, his attention suddenly shifted from roasting sparrows to Bei Nuan.
He seemed to suddenly realize that there was such a girl standing in front of the stall, and his eyes fell on Bei Nuan's face.
Like many people who saw Bei Nuan's pure and beautiful face for the first time, he was stunned, and then noticed the F card that Bei Nuan had just taken out on his chest.
"Little girl," Uncle Shi held up the sparrow meat skewer in his hand, "do you want to eat roast sparrows?"
Before Bei Nuan could answer, Lu Xingchi grabbed Bei Nuan's backpack and pulled her behind him.
Uncle Shi was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to see Lu Xingchi's face.
Lu Xingchi was not easy to be offended at first glance, Uncle Shi smiled at him, said nothing, and walked away with a skewer of yakitori.
"Who is this?" Bei Nuan asked Xiaoshao quietly, "He doesn't seem to have given any money."
"You can't ask them for money," Xiaoshao said in a low voice, "Uncle Shi and the others are not hard workers, they are members of the regiment. They don't lack food, he just likes to eat this one."
Bei Nuan understood that this Uncle Shi was a member of the gang. The book said that the workers called them "people in the regiment".
Even if he wrapped all the roasted birds in this stall, Xiaoshao would not dare to say a single word.
Several people left the small spoon booth and walked forward.
Further on, the market is gone, and there are no bungalows ahead.
At the foot of the mountain not far away, a few people suddenly saw a very strange place.
The place was kept a little distance from the crowded town.
The whole area was chaotic, not even a house, all kinds of rags were propped up with wooden sticks, or simply a shed was barely covered with the large leaves of the island plants.
There are still people inside.
It is morning, people in the market are setting up stalls, and workers are all going to work, but there are still many people lying in the shed.
Many people have tattered clothes, gray skin, motionless, and do not know whether they are dead or alive.
Du Ruo was curious, "What is that place? What happened to those people?"
A man walking up the mountain with a basket on his back passed by and replied, "That's the f-pit."
"What pit?" Bei Nuan didn't understand.
"The f-pit is a place where a group of f's get together and wait to die."
"Why do they live in that kind of place?" Bei Nuan didn't understand.
"It takes a long time to save money to build a house. They are all dying. One day counts as one day, just make do with it and it's over."
The man answered two sentences, and without further explanation, hurried up the mountain to work.
Bei Nuan took another look at the "f-pit" and thought, do the people on the island really take this little iron plate seriously
Bei Nuan was still holding the bird in her hand, thinking about the iron card in her heart, and she lost her appetite.
Du Ruo saw that she hadn't eaten, and quickly asked, "Aren't you going to eat? Send me?"
Bei Nuan generously handed Roast Sparrow to him.
Du Ruo tore off a thin bird's leg, tasted some meat, and then his eyes lit up.
"Bei Nuan, let me tell you, it's very delicious! The spoon is very good at roasting, it's well roasted, and it's fragrant, crisp and crisp! She also added seasonings, which has a special fragrance."
Bei Nuan didn't believe it, "Really?"
"Don't lie to you, it's really delicious, fragrant and crispy, you'll regret it if you don't eat it."
Bei Nuan quickly also tore off a bird's leg.
Really delicious.
The bird meat porcelain is really chewy, crispy and fragrant, but it is a pity that there is too little meat.
Under Lu Xingchi's speechless eyes, the two were scrambling to kill the bird.
Du Ruo was still not finished, "How do you sell the roasted sparrows?"
Bei Nuan gave him a quote, "One dollar for a small string and two yuan for a large string. You don't have any money. But I don't think you need to buy it. Exchange it with her for something like beef, she will definitely be willing."
Du Ruo thought for a while, "Not good. She has beef jerky, and if others see it, it might bring disaster to her, so it's better to use their money to buy it. With money, she can buy whatever she likes, and she won't buy it. Eye-catching."
Du Ruo paused, "Where is the place to work as a coolie to make money on the island?"
Everyone: ? ?
Everyone was speechless.
The things in Bei Nuan's space can be exchanged for money if you take out something inconspicuous.
Du Ruo didn't know if he really wanted to eat roast sparrows, or if he just wanted to be a coolie.
Du Ruo patted Lu Xingchi on the shoulder, "We're fine anyway, find a place to work and make money with peace of mind, go with your own business."
Bei Nuan understood, Lu Xingchi would definitely leave to check the signs on the van.
Leaving these few people, rather than being extremely boring and maybe causing trouble, might as well find some work to kill time. Duro was right.
Lu Xingchi also readily agreed.
There are many places to work on the island.
At the foot of the mountain, there are large tracts of fields being cultivated, and many people are required to do farm work.
The mountains are also reclaiming wasteland, and large tracts of trees have to be cut down, and the cut trees have to be transported down the mountain to be used as timber.
The problem is that the newcomers don't have the skills, so they can't do the work of farming and cutting trees.
Du Ruo walked around the island for a long time, and finally chose a rock-carrying job for himself.
A lot of new land has been opened up on the mountain. Someone needs to level the ground, pick out the rocks, and then use the back basket to transport the rocks down the mountain.
All the stones transported down the mountain will be transported away to build the circle of stone walls on the island.
When Du Ruo found the foreman, he did not hesitate to register and take the backpack.
Carrying the basket, he muttered, "I have been eating more and moving less recently. If I don't exercise, I will lose six pack abs."
Lu Xingchi glanced at Du Ruo, "So you have?"
Du Ruo's face was full of insults, "I stripped naked in class, and I can directly use it as a living specimen of human muscles for students!"
Bei Nuan said sincerely: "You stripped naked in class, and you will definitely be arrested by the police uncle."
Lu Xingchi was not in a hurry to leave, and took the basket like them.
The work of carrying stones does not seem to be particularly difficult, but it is just loading the stones into a basket on the mountain and carrying them down the mountain to unload them, and the money is calculated according to the amount.
But don't be too lazy, each person must complete the quota of at least ten full baskets every day, otherwise it will be considered a waste of money.
Bei Nuan researched it and felt that she was competent, so she went to the foreman to register.
The foreman glanced at Bei Nuan's face and was stunned for a moment, "You look so pretty, why do you remember carrying stones? I'll show you a clear way to make money..."
Bei Nuan waited silently for him to say what he wanted to beat.
Because Lu **ss next to him has narrowed his eyes.
The foreman continued to say, "...You can go to the casino. If you don't have skills, you can't be a dealer, so you can be a waiter who sweeps the floor first."
The foreman looked up and down Bei Nuan's small body, and said regretfully, "They like to recruit mature and glamorous people. It's dark in the light, and if you put on heavy makeup, it's not impossible to make do with it."
Bei Nuan: "..."
"I don't like casinos, I just like carrying stones." Bei Nuan took a pen to register.
Du Ruo happily interjected, "Really? Then we have the same interests!"
The foreman had no confidence in Bei Nuan, so he turned around and picked the smallest one and handed it to her.
Then, at a glance, she saw the iron card swinging out of her clothes when she lowered her head to write.
The big "f" on the top is very eye-catching.
The foreman stared at Tieban for a while, his eyes immediately turned into pity, and looked at Bei Nuan again, "Such a beautiful girl... tsk tsk..."
He turned around again, picked up the basket and compared it carefully, re-selected the smallest one, and replaced the one in Bei Nuan's hand.
He didn't forget to instruct him, "Don't pretend too much at one time, the mountain road is not easy to walk, and it is easy to fall. If you fall, maybe your small neck will be broken."
After thinking about it, he said, "Stop walking on the grass. Now the grass is growing, and sometimes there are poisonous snakes hidden in it. If I give you a bite, you will definitely not live tonight."
"Someone comes to deliver food at noon. Eat slowly. Don't talk while eating. Be careful of choking. Choking to death seems very uncomfortable."
"By the way, and," he added suddenly, "don't quarrel with people. Just bear with it when you feel wronged, and be careful if someone punches you, your little head can't hold it up."
He seems to be constantly thinking about death, and the way of death that he said is new.
Bei Nuan agreed and left with the basket in his back, intending to load stones.
The foreman stopped thinking about various ways to die, and after a pause, he said in a tone of comforting the terminally ill: "Little girl, life and death are yours, you... you must be careful!"
Bei Nuan: "..."
Did not look away.
The author has something to say: It is said that when it comes to game, you should mark it: Because it is not eaten in the last days, the small spoon will go to catch the bird, reject the game, please do not imitate~
