"Only 200 can be entered every day..." Shen Cheng muttered and looked at the people queuing up outside the base, and asked the boy in surprise, "When will this be queued!"
Yes, when should we go
There are only two hundred a day, but looking at the teams outside, it may not be finished in ten days!
Not to mention that today's ranking number will be invalidated tomorrow, and everything will be reset to zero on the next day.
Shen Cheng didn't know what Zai Zai's idea was, she stared at the long queue in a daze: Isn't this a waste of time
Li Weilan went to line up.
The first day was more than a thousand numbers, the second day was more than two thousand numbers, and the third day was still seven or eight hundred. On the fourth day, he waited for the person who appeared in his memory: a sneaky, He looked like a very honest and honest man.
"Sure enough, it's still the same as before." Li Weilan murmured in a low voice.
The J city base is very large. From an official point of view, it is a huge war machine. When it is started, the rumbling power feeds all the lives on it.
However, there are shadows hidden under the sun, and what this man represents is part of the shadows.
The life of the group of people above is glamorous, but what about the people below
Life in the wasteland just widens this gap between rich and poor, good and bad.
"What's your number?" Sure enough, the opening remarks didn't change much.
Li Weilan lowered her eyes and spread out the small note with the number in her hand for him to read.
Although his face was smeared with black ash, he still couldn't hide his handsome anger. The man looked at his face, smiled with some satisfaction, moved closer, and said in a low voice, "What are you waiting for? There will be a wave of zombies cleared every half a month. By then, all the camps you set up at the gate will have to be dismantled, and there will be nothing left. Those who cannot enter the base will be driven away. You wait like this Do you think you can get in? Stop dreaming." He looked around vigilantly and lowered his voice, "The two hundred people every day are distributed to those who have connections and resources, like you, unless you hit If you are lucky, otherwise you will never be able to enter the gate of the base."
"What he said is true?" Shen Cheng's slightly surprised voice sounded next to his ear.
In Shen Cheng's view, there are many places where manpower will be used in the last days. Noah has been recruiting people almost all the time. Although there are some screenings, the main screening is whether they have strange thoughts about the base.
What's going on at J city base? Are you ready to lock ordinary people out to die? The 200 names that are drawn every day are also big cakes hanging in front of these ordinary people, just to look good
"Really." Li Weilan told her softly.
He didn't tell the whole truth.
There are more cruel things than that.
Although what this man said was a little exaggerated, he was not wrong.
The man looked shocked at him, lowered his eyebrows, rubbed his fingers slightly, and said with a smile: "Brother, do you have any relatives in the base?"
When he asked the question, he already knew the answer: who came to look for and who didn't come to look for was screened, and he had already observed it, and he was always cautious in his shots, and he rarely missed the prey that passed his hands.
"No." Sure enough, when he answered, the handsome man in front of him showed a trace of anxiety and impatience, "I just heard that J City is the safest..."
The net is closed. The spider weaving the web seemed to have heard the slight noise from the spider's silk, and quickly ran over to check after the touch. The man's face showed a little joy, but he still didn't forget to do a full set of acting: "I have There is a way to make you rank within 200, but you have to exchange materials, what do you have?"
What good things can an ordinary person produce
The man thought disdainfully in his heart, but there was still a look of expectation on his face.
Li Weilan hesitated for a moment: "You said you have a way..."
The man grinned and snapped his fingers, and a string of orange flames rose up along with his movements.
"You still don't believe me?" He saw a small plastic bag next to him, and with a flick of his hand, there was a scorched and smelly smell of burnt plastic in the tent.
"... Hmph, it's not very powerful, it's just a low-level fire-type superpower, it's not worth showing off so much." Li Weilan heard Shen Cheng's complaints.
Yes, the orange-red flames have only advanced from crimson to orange-red. More than a year has passed, and the crimson is 700 degrees higher than that of a second-level fire-type power user. The 1,000-degree degree of the level-fire system superpower is firmly stuck on the bottleneck of the third-level, and I am afraid that it will not be able to pass this hurdle without this blessing.
Li Weilan thought calmly, maybe because he had heard her complaints, everything he had experienced had turned into a faded silhouette, the pain he thought he would remember forever had turned into a black and white photo, he even looked at this person The familiar series of flamboyant gestures, but he just said calmly: "Brother, there are the green plants I brought."
The man was taken aback and let out an "ah".
Li Weilan calmly blew on the wreckage in the plastic bag, when the flying ash floated up, the man saw a little bit of ashes left by the burnt branches inside.
He almost cried!
His fingers trembled as if he was about to get Parkinson's: "That's a green plant, don't you remind me? What kind of green plant? Ah? What kind of green plant do you think it is?" My heart is about to break!
"A small pot of cactus." Li Weilan said with a low eyebrow, "It's the last pot I have left."
"It's gone? It's gone? Really gone?" A pot of cactus is much more valuable than this kid. Now that ornamental plants are almost extinct, some upper-level people in the base are willing to spend money to buy green plants. Zhi can sell at a higher value than this kid!
The man wasn't nearly crazy.
He wandered around in the tent like his butt was on fire, and when he found out that there was indeed only this pot, he yelled at him angrily, "Why didn't you stop me?"
"I... dare not stop the supernatural being." Li Weilan said hesitantly, with a hint of horror.
Unsurprisingly, he heard the girl complaining in a low voice with a smile, "Lan Lan, you seem to be a playwright."
Really good showman.
Shen Cheng looked at the man who was about to have a heart attack, and felt that this was the source of happiness for today. She didn't know what happened between Li Weilan and this man, but seeing that he just pretended to be It takes dozens of minutes of heartache to pay back every minute, um, it's still quite fun.
He heard the smile in her voice.
"Forget it, forget it," the man wandered around and looked around, and seeing that the green plants were indeed gone, he sighed and said, "Do you have any other materials that can be exchanged for admission qualifications?"
Li Weilan frowned hesitantly and tiredly, showing a pitiful look: "Then can I still get in?"
The man wanted to kick him away angrily.
Finally, his eyeballs rolled suddenly, and he thought of something: "Okay, then wait for the news."
After that person left, Li Weilan let out a long sigh of relief, and Shen Cheng saw that his finger joints were only loosened at this time.
"Sorry," he reluctantly suppressed his killing intent. When he said this, the line of his jaw was still tense, Shen Cheng could see clearly, from the moment the man entered his tent until he left, Li Weilan's fingers were always tightened.
"Lanlan, you've waited for these three days... just to wait for him?" Shen Cheng asked carefully.
Li Weilan nodded: "This is a shortcut to enter the city."
Shen Cheng hesitated to speak.
What she wants to ask is: "Lanlan, have you walked by?"
"Soon," Li Weilan said to her, "we will be able to go in."
As he said, in the evening, the man came to lead the people.
Of course, he brought not only Li Weilan, but also a pair of sisters and a young man. Their demeanor was cautious like homeless people. When they saw Li Weilan, they nodded to him as a greeting. Quite big, but mostly empty.
After everyone was all together, the man began to talk about the rules.
He said that he would start taking them in when the moon was in the sky, and asked them to hide in a barrel to keep quiet during the process, and when they woke up, they would be in the base.
"Then after we go in, what if someone stops us inside and asks about our identity?" People who go in through normal channels have registered their names. Even if they got in according to the method he said, no Is it still a black household
"Don't worry, there will always be people disappearing and dying in the base. After you go in, someone will tell you the name and specific situation of the person you replaced." The man said in a comprehensive manner.
Several people got into the barrel.
The creaking car sounded, and a gust of cold air filled the small space. Li Weilan didn't feel too cold, but Shen Cheng saw that the ordinary people in the other buckets had already started to shiver.
She suddenly had a bad premonition: this car, probably not taking them to the inside of the base as the man said, but more like... a vehicle full of deaths and unknowns.
When passing the level, the man even teased and laughed with the guards familiarly. This level of familiarity... To some newcomers, it may prove that this fire-type power user does have a way to "hands and eyes reach the sky", but as a bystander From Shen Cheng's point of view, it seemed that these guards also knew what this man was doing, and for some reason, they chose to turn a blind eye and cooperate with him in acting.
This scene was for the ordinary people in the bucket in the car.
In order to control them, sit obediently in the barrel that does not know where it is heading, and sail towards the unknown cruelty in the darkness.
Just as Shen Cheng made various guesses, a silent mist was released from the car, and then entered the bucket from the breathing hole in the bucket little by little.
"Everyone else is asleep..." Shen Cheng whispered to Li Weilan.
Zai Zai also closed his eyes.
This time she didn't hear Zai Zai's response, but only saw the speech bubble floating above his head, which was obviously just his heartbeat: "I've walked this road once."
Eh
Zai Zai walked by once
