Regardless of the young girl's age, she was very familiar with the Wancheng base. Hearing that they were looking for a place to stay, she immediately took them to a hotel. This hotel is a residential building before the end of the world. It was rebuilt after being contracted by a private person. Although the conditions are not very good, it is still passable. You can stay as long as you pay the supplies.
There were less than 100 of them, and they asked for more than 20 rooms. After seeing Zhan Yun's badge of supernatural beings, the hotel owner took the initiative to give them a discount, but they still need to pay more than 80 rooms for a week. Only a catty of grain will do. Still using vegetables and fruits to offset the accommodation fee, everyone finally settled down in Wancheng.
According to the agreement, the little girl should be given half a pack of biscuits, but Su Ruizhe kindly gave her a whole pack. The little girl carefully hid the biscuit in her bosom, thanked sweetly, and ran away like a little mouse that just stole rice.
The next step is to go to the people in charge of the Wancheng base to discuss the matter of learning soilless cultivation techniques, but it is difficult for them to find someone who is not familiar with the place. Guan Hong took a few people and went out to find the garrison in Wancheng.
Cheng Qi had nothing to do, so he took a box of Double Happiness from Su Ruizhe, and went downstairs to talk to the boss. The hotel owner must be able to privately contract such a building in the Wancheng base, he must have some contacts, and he must be able to understand the situation of the Wancheng base faster from him.
Sure enough, the innkeeper's eyes lit up when he saw the pack of cigarettes in Cheng Qi's hand, just like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, he introduced the situation of the Wancheng base to Cheng Qi incessantly.
The Wancheng base is jointly controlled by several major forces. The most powerful is the Wang family. The Wang family is a well-known wealthy businessman in Wancheng. The family runs a number of department stores and supermarkets, and holds the supplies of two warehouses. In the last days, it can be said that they are very rich. , and the only son of the Wang family awakened the thunder ability, and formed the thunder ability team, which can basically walk sideways in the base.
The second place is the Hong family. Before the apocalypse, the Hong family belonged to the underworld and had many underground forces. Now that the apocalypse has come, they have come out on the bright side. There are also many supernatural beings in the Hong family.
The third place is the Lu family. The older generation of the Lu family had been in the army, and later joined the merchants. They are very upright. There are many veterans in the Lu family.
However, the local garrisons became the group with the smallest number because of their heavy losses in the early days of the end of the world. Moreover, once any dangerous situation happened, the Wang family and the Hong family would always let the garrisons rush forward. Fortunately, the Lu family stood upright and always It is to help them, otherwise it would be hard to say whether there are still troops in the Wancheng base.
The four major forces jointly manage the Wancheng base, so the system of the base is relatively chaotic. However, although the Wang family and the Hong family are not particular, they are not stupid. They know the truth of sitting and eating, so they are still very supportive of scientific research. Wancheng is also an agricultural city. Before the end of the world, there was a special research on soilless cultivation. technology in the agricultural laboratory, and has been successful. It's just that after the outbreak of this laboratory in the last days, the experimenters died and turned into zombies, but the experimental data is still there. The four major forces worked together to re-establish this laboratory, recruited talents in biology and scientific research, and restored the soilless cultivation technology. In fact, it is not a newly developed technology at all. It can only be said that the Wancheng base was lucky and took advantage of it.
The innkeeper saw that the soldiers who came with them were all wearing military uniforms, so he knew that they must have come to Wancheng Base to learn the technique of soilless cultivation. Recently, there are many people who came from other bases to learn this technique. There are also those who come from Shuzhou and the north specially.
"However, if you want to learn for nothing, you will definitely not be able to do it. If the Wang family and the Hong family are involved in it, you will have to take a layer of your skin off." The innkeeper said with his legs crossed, smoking a cigarette, shaking his head.
After listening to the innkeeper's words, Cheng Qi finally understood that this Wancheng base is now said to have four major forces, but in fact it is a three-legged situation. If it weren't for the help of the Lu family, the local garrison might have been overthrown by the ambitious The Wang family and Hong family swallowed it in one gulp. After restoring the soilless cultivation technology, they immediately sent invitations to survivor bases all over the country, in fact, they wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune!
Cheng Qi chatted with the hotel owner for a while, and saw Guan Hong came back with a gloomy face. Without asking, Cheng Qi knew that things were definitely not going well.
Sure enough, after Guan Hong came back, he gathered everyone together and told everyone a good news and a bad news. The good news is that he contacted the garrison at the Wancheng base, and the other party also confirmed that he could learn soilless cultivation techniques. But then came the bad news. The garrison said that now that the laboratory is controlled by the Wang family and the Hong family, it is impossible to learn soilless cultivation techniques without paying some price.
The so-called price is nothing more than food, weapons, medicine, gasoline and other items that are very scarce in the last days.
When the Wancheng base sent out the invitation, it didn't mention the supplies at all, but the upper echelons of the southern base also considered that they couldn't learn from others for nothing, so they planned to share the news of the new bullets and fruit and vegetable juices they developed with the other party. So they didn't bring much supplies when they came here this time.
But I didn't expect that the Wancheng base would have such an idea...
Although they didn't intend to learn technology for nothing, the mood of actively exchanging and being forced to give is completely different. Guan Hong was a little hesitant to tell those people the news about the new bullets and fruit and vegetable juices. Presumably those people would act differently after they had the new bullets that could cause special damage to zombies and the fruit and vegetable juices that could increase the probability of awakening the supernatural beings. became more and more unscrupulous.
"Then exchange it with supplies!" Zhan Yun said suddenly, "Don't tell them about the new bullets and fruit and vegetable juice, just tell the garrison here."
With the help of new bullets and fruit and vegetable juices, the local garrison can slowly stabilize their forces.
"But we don't have enough supplies..."
"Then go outside and collect it, and let us take care of it."
"Okay, sorry to bother you." Guan Hong thanked.
There was only more than an hour left before dawn, and it was obviously too late to go out to collect supplies, so everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
But Cheng Qi and Cheng Jiao planned to go for a stroll, the Wancheng base was chaotic, but it seemed more lively than the southern base.
Zhan Yun thought for a while, and dragged Su Ruizhe down with him. Anyway, he was idle, so he might as well go around and see the specific situation of the Wancheng base.
The hotel owner saw Cheng Qi and the others coming downstairs, and greeted them with a smile. When he heard that they were going out for a stroll, he took out a red plastic coin.
"Boy, these are our money. You can go to the management office to exchange the supplies. The purchasing power of this round coin is about one steamed bun. It will be more convenient to use it in the base. Like the cigarettes you gave me before , if you still have it, you can exchange it for ten yuan coins in a pack." This kind of yuan coins is actually the chips used by people playing mahjong before the end of the world, and now they are used by the Hong family as a temporary currency. Engraved with the logo of the Hong family. The Hong family was from the underworld, so there were naturally many mahjong parlors under them. After the establishment of the base, for the convenience of use, they took out these round coins.
The Wang family and the Lu family also wanted to do the same, but unfortunately they couldn't find a suitable substitute, so they simply exchanged yuan coins from the Hong family to use them.
"Thank you, boss." After asking where the management office was, they thanked the shop owner and walked out.
The Wancheng base is much messier than the southern base. Everyone cleans the snow in front of the door, and no one cares about other public areas.
They soon came to the management office of the Wancheng base. The people here were very loose, not sitting or standing. But after seeing the badges of supernatural beings on Zhan Yun's chests, their attitude became much better, and they quickly exchanged them for coins. As the hotel owner said, a pack of cigarettes can be exchanged for ten yuan, so they exchanged two packs of cigarettes for twenty yuan.
They wandered around the Wancheng base casually, and found that the lively place in the Wancheng base was very lively, and the deserted place was very deserted, and the difference between the two sides was very large.
The bustling area is full of feasting and feasting lights, and the people who come and go seem to be more glamorous, laughing and talking, and they look the same as before the end of the world. The deserted area was pitch black, the houses were dilapidated brick houses without even a single piece of furniture, and ragged people huddled on the floor.
Looking at the miserable appearance of those people, Su Ruizhe thought of himself in his previous life. Once upon a time, he curled up on the cold and hard floor like this, spending day after day like years.
There are also many people setting up stalls along the street, but there is nothing they need.
"Ah, some supernatural beings, come in and sit down?" Suddenly, a few women with heavy makeup and very revealing clothes appeared from nowhere, and pulled them towards a certain building next to them.
"No need!" Zhan Yun waved away the woman's hand, frowned and scolded loudly.
Those women immediately stepped aside, not daring to do it again.
At this time, they realized that there were many such people in the area they were in. They were wearing thin and revealing clothes, waving to people walking on the road, obviously they were all engaged in some unspeakable profession...
In this base, the lives of ordinary people are really too difficult...
After looking around, they didn't see anything to buy, so they returned to the hotel with twenty yuan coins in their pockets.
