Crossing a small road, Lin Feng and Dong Wu returned to the tent where they lived yesterday. Lin Feng decided to find a house to rent in the living area, and Dong Wu insisted on following, so Lin Feng acquiesced. There are so many dangers in the apocalypse, so it’s good to have a companion.
After what happened just now, Dong Wu became more determined to follow Lin Feng. Lin Feng's kindness is extremely rare in this cruel apocalypse, and this alone is enough to prove Lin Feng's character.
Back in the tent, Dong Wu didn't have many belongings, only a few personal daily necessities.
"What's this?"
While cleaning up the room, Lin Feng found a small black, coin-sized ball under the bed. The material looked like iron but not iron.
"Don't mention it, it makes you sad if you mention it."
Seeing the small black ball in Lin Feng's hand, Dong Wu didn't even raise his head and didn't care at all.
It's really depressing to say that this black ball was found in the brain of a first-level zombie when Dong Wu went out to hunt zombies.
It stands to reason that a first-level zombie should have white crystals in its brain, but that zombie didn't have it, only this black thing. Moreover, that zombie was much more powerful than the average first-level zombie. Dong Wu and his friends spent a lot of effort to kill it.
The little black ball he brought back could not be used as a white crystal at all, so Dong Wu simply threw it under the bed and ignored it.
Dong Wu hunted hundreds of first-level zombies, but the appearance of this one zombie did not have Bai Jing in its mind, so it left a particularly deep impression on him.
Holding the small black ball in his hand, Lin Feng suddenly felt some heat on the supermarket rune on his arm. Something surprising happened. The black ball in Lin Feng's hand disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Did you enter the supermarket?"
Feeling something strange, Lin Feng hurriedly entered the supermarket to check. In this apocalyptic world, Lin Feng's only reliance is this supermarket with huge supplies. Lin Feng doesn't want any accidents to happen to the supermarket.
Entering the supermarket, Lin Feng was dumbfounded. Not only was there no shortage of things in the supermarket, but there was one more thing.
It was a large screen, hanging on the ceiling in the center of the supermarket.
The big screen was on, with nothing on it except a progress bar. The progress displayed on the progress bar is 10%, and it glows yellow, which is very conspicuous.
Could it be
Staring at the big screen on the ceiling, Lin Feng fell into deep thought.
"Could it be that the black ball was absorbed by the supermarket? The black ball is produced by zombies. Logically speaking, it should be a white crystal with energy. But it cannot be used by others. Now it has disappeared, but this thing appears again in the supermarket. , it seems that it can be exploited by supermarkets.”
After a simple analysis, Lin Feng came to a conclusion.
But what does this progress bar do? The progress bar now shows 10%, which means that by absorbing 9 more black balls like that, it is possible to reach 100%.
What will appear after reaching 100%? Lin Feng felt hopeful but also worried.
After simply packing up their daily necessities, Lin Feng and Dong Wu walked out of the tent. After greeting everyone along the way, the two left the slum.
As soon as he entered the living area and turned around to look at the slums in front of him, Dong Wu's eyes were a little moist.
Three years have passed. Even though he lives in poverty, Dong Wu still has some nostalgia for this place. Friends, family, friendship... everything related to Dong Wu disappeared one by one here. Thinking of the hardships of living here, Dong Wu shed two lines of tears.
"Let's go, everything here will be in the past. A new life is about to begin."
Looking at Dong Wu's appearance, Lin Feng also felt a little sad. Although I have no worries about leaving my own world, after living for more than twenty years, it is not so easy to let go.
But Lin Feng knew that he was a man, and he should live like a man. Not only must we live, but we must live well, live wonderfully, and live our own world.
Yes, there is a new life.
After listening to Lin Feng's words, Dong Wu wiped away the tears in his eyes and looked into the distance, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, his eyes full of confidence.
The two came to the living area and first went to a place similar to an agency to find a place to live.
The agency is the base's own property. After taking over the base, all houses will be uniformly distributed by the base. Occupations necessary for the base, such as teachers, doctors, and soldiers, can be allocated housing for free. But if foreigners want to live in the base, in addition to tents in the slums, other buildings will have to spend money.
Since the zombie outbreak, most of the buildings have been destroyed, and there are not many existing buildings, so the price is not cheap.
For the price of five white crystals a month, Lin Feng rented a two-bedroom apartment of more than fifty square meters. When paying, Dong Wu secretly smacked his lips, it was really a luxury to rent a house at such an expensive price. Five white crystals were enough to pay for five months of living rights at the base. Now they can only live for one month, which is an astronomical figure for Dong Wu. If it were him, he would rather buy some rice than spend so much money to live here.
It's not that Lin Feng is wasting money. In this apocalyptic world, what Lin Feng pays most attention to is safety. Lin Feng didn't know anything about what was going on in the base. He had to find a quiet and safe place to live. Fortunately, there are still a lot of white crystals on hand. Excluding the ones for Dong Wu and the mother and daughter, after paying the room fee, Lin Feng still has 335 white crystals on him, which is a big fortune in the apocalypse. Besides, there are so many supplies in supermarkets, even if there are restrictions, it is enough to maintain a good life.
But Lin Feng didn't want to exchange too many supplies from the supermarket, even if there were warehouses with countless supplies. Materials are scarce in the last days, and any excessive resources may attract the attention of interested people. Lin Feng's current strength is not strong and he doesn't want to be targeted at this time.
After settling in, Lin Feng and Dong Wu went downstairs to a simple restaurant. It is said that there is no food in the restaurant, just some basic food that can sustain life. The restaurant cannot have those luxurious foods, and even if it does, it can only exist in the center of the base. It is good for ordinary people to have enough to eat, even those "white-collar workers" who can get paid.
Spending two white crystals on two bowls of shredded pork noodles already made Dong Wu heartbroken. You must know that a white crystal is enough for an ordinary person to live for three days, and now it is exchanged for a bowl of noodles. In Dong Wu's opinion, even a little shredded meat is not worth it.
But there is no way now. Lin Feng's limit of three pickups today has been used up and can no longer be used. And if you buy some rice and noodles and make them yourself, you will need a lot of pots and pans, and you can’t get that much in a short time, so you have to eat here.
After taking a bite of the noodles on the table, Lin Feng almost vomited it out. It was so unpalatable that it was incomparable with the noodles in his own world. Not only was the noodles hard, but it also smelled moldy. Even the so-called shredded pork is not much better than beef jerky. At first glance, it looks like food that has been stored for an unknown period of time. Now that Lin Feng is white, no wonder Dong Wu is so virtuous when eating luncheon meat. The food in the two worlds is simply worlds apart.
Even so, Lin Feng still finished the noodles. When entering the apocalypse, you have to accept reality. Lin Feng warned himself that he must adapt to life in this world as soon as possible. If you can't even adapt to life, how can you survive in this world
Just when Lin Feng and Dong Wu came out of the restaurant after paying the bill, Lin Feng suddenly noticed a familiar figure not far away.
