My Cherry Will Explode in the Apocalypse-Chapter 71

Although the little girl was young, she was very familiar with Wancheng base. They said she wanted to find a place to live, so she immediately took them to a hotel. This hotel is a residential building before the end of the world. It was rebuilt after being privately owned. Although the conditions are not very good, they are also passable. You can live there as long as you pay for it with materials.
There were less than 100 of them, and they asked for more than 20 rooms. The innkeeper took the initiative to give them a discount after seeing Zhan Yun’s ability user insignia, but they still needed to pay more than 80 Jin of food for a week. Just like before, vegetables and fruits were used to pay for the accommodation, and the group finally settled down in Wancheng.
According to the agreement, he should give the little girl half a bag of biscuits, but Su Ruizhe kindly gave her a whole bag. The little girl carefully hid the biscuit in her arms. After the sweet thanks, she ran away like a little mouse who had just stolen the rice.
The next step is to find the person in charge of Wancheng base to discuss the study of soilless cultivation technology. However, it’s difficult for them to find people when they are not familiar with the place. Guan Hong took several people out to find the garrison in Wancheng.
Cheng Qi had nothing to do, so he took a pack of red shuang xi from Su Ruizhe and went downstairs to talk to the boss. If the hotel owner can privately own such a building in Wancheng base, he must have some contacts. From him, he must be able to understand the situation of Wancheng base faster.
Sure enough, the innkeeper’s eyes lit up when he saw the packet of cigarettes Cheng Qi had in his hand. Just like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, he talked to Cheng Qi about the situation of Wancheng base.
Wancheng base is jointly controlled by several major forces, the most influential one is the Wang family. Wang family is a famous and rich business family in Wancheng. They run many department stores and have power over the materials of the two warehouses. In the apocalypse, they were very rich. In addition, the only son of the Wang family awakened the thunder power, so they set up a thunder ability team, which can basically walk horizontally in the base.
In second place is the Hong family. Before the end of the world, the Hong family was a gangster family and had a lot of underground forces. Now that the end of the world is here, on the contrary, they have come to the surface openly, and there are many ability users in the Hong family.
In third place is the Lu family. The old generation of the Lu family was from the army. Later, they delved into business. They were very upright. There were also many veterans on the other side of the Lu family.
However, the local garrison as the fourth power lost a lot in the early period of the apocalypse, so it became the smallest group. In case of any dangerous situation, the Wang family and the Hong family always let the garrison rush ahead. Fortunately, the Lu family always helped them. Otherwise, it’s hard to say whether there would be a garrison in the Wancheng base now.
The four forces jointly manage the Wancheng base, so the system of the base will be more chaotic. However, although the Wang family and the Hong family are not particular about it, they are not stupid. They know the truth of sitting on the mountain and having nothing to do with it. Therefore, they are very supportive of scientific research. Wancheng is also an agricultural city. There was an agricultural laboratory specialized in soilless cultivation technology before the end of the world, and it has been successful. It’s just that after the outbreak of the apocalypse, it caused the death of the experimenters and their change into zombies, but the experimental data is still there. The four forces worked together to rebuild the laboratory, recruited talents in biology and scientific research, and restored the soilless cultivation technology. In fact, it’s not a newly developed technology at all. It can only be said that Wancheng base is lucky and takes a big advantage.
The innkeeper saw that the soldiers who came with them were all dressed in military uniforms. He knew that they must have come to Wancheng base to study the soilless cultivation technology. Recently, many people came from other bases. In order to learn this technology, many people came from Shuzhou and the north.
“However, if you want to learn for nothing, you can’t do it. The Wang family and the Hong family will have to peel off a layer of your skin.” The innkeeper said, shaking his head and smoking.
After listening to the innkeeper’s words, Cheng Qi finally understood that the Wancheng base now has four major forces, but in fact, it is the situation of tripartite confrontation. If it were not for the help of the Lu family, the local garrison might have been swallowed by the ambitious Wang family and Hong family. After restoring the soilless cultivation technology, they immediately sent out an invitation to the survivors’ bases all over the country. In fact, they wanted to take the opportunity to make a profit!
Cheng Qi chats with the innkeeper for a while again, and sees Guan Hong coming back with a gloomy face. Without asking, Cheng Qi knows things are not going well.
Sure enough, after Guan Hong came back, he gathered everyone together and told them good news and bad news. The good news is that he contacted the garrison of Wancheng base and the other side confirmed that they could learn the soilless cultivation technology. But then came the bad news. The garrison said that now the laboratory is under the control of the Wang family and the Hong family. It is impossible to learn the soilless cultivation technology without paying some price.
The so-called cost is nothing more than food, weapons, drugs, gasoline and other items that are very scarce in the apocalypse.
The invitation from Wancheng base didn’t mention materials at all. However, the upper level of the southern base, considered that they can’t learn from others for nothing, plans to share the news of new bullets and fruit and vegetable juice they developed with each other, so they didn’t bring many materials this time.
But they didn’t expect that it was such an idea…
Although they didn’t plan to learn the technology in vain, the mood of active exchange is totally different from that of forced giving. Guan Hong is hesitant to tell those people about the new bullets and fruit and vegetable juice. It is assumed that those people will become more and more unscrupulous when they have the new bullets that can cause special damage to the zombies and fruit and vegetable juice that can improve the awakening probability.
“Then replace it with supplies!” Zhan Yun suddenly said, “don’t tell them about the new bullets and fruit and vegetable juice, just tell the garrison here.”
With the help of new bullets, fruits and vegetables, the local garrison can gradually consolidate its own power.
“But we don’t have enough supplies…”
“Then we go outside and collect it, and we’ll take care of it.”
"Ok, Thank you." Said Guan Hong.
It’s only over an hour before dawn. It’s too late to go out to collect materials. So everyone went back to their rooms to have a rest.
However, Cheng Qi and Cheng Jiao plan to go shopping. The Wancheng base is in chaos, but it’s more lively than the southern base.
Zhan Yun thought about it, and also led Su Ruizhe to go down together. Anyway, he was also idle. It’s better to go around and have a look at the specific situation of Wancheng base.
When the innkeeper saw Cheng Qi coming downstairs, he greeted them with a smile. When he heard that they were going to go out for a walk, he took out a red plastic dollar.
“Young man, these are our money. You can go to the management office to exchange the materials. The purchasing power of this yuan is probably a steamed bun. It will be more convenient to use it in the base. Like the cigarettes you gave me before, if you have any more, you can change ten yuan in one package. ” This kind of Yuan coin is actually the chips used by people before the end of the world when they played mahjong. Now it is used as a temporary currency by the Hong family, with the Hong family’s logo engraved on it. Hong’s family is from the underworld, and there are many mahjong halls under them. After the establishment of the base, in order to facilitate the use, they took out this kind of Yuan coin.
The Wang family and the Lu family wanted to do the same. Unfortunately, they couldn’t find a suitable substitute. Later, they simply changed to the yuan from the Hong family.
“Thank you, boss.” After asking the location of the management office, they thanked the owner and went out.
Compared with the southern base, Wancheng base is much dirtier. Everyone sweeps the snow in front of his own door. No one cares about other public areas.
They soon came to the Management Office of Wancheng base, where people are very casual, sitting and standing without any purpose. But after seeing the ability user insignia on Zhan Yun’s chest, their attitude became much better and they soon exchanged yuan coins for them. As the innkeeper said, a pack of cigarettes can be exchanged for ten yuan, and they exchange two packs of cigarettes for twenty yuan.
They wandered around in Wancheng base, and found that the lively places of Wancheng base were very lively, the cold places were very cold, and the difference between the two sides was very big.
The bustling area is full of lights and wine. The people who come and go look bright and happy. The smiles are mild and tender, which looks just like before the end of the world. The cold area was pitch black, with dilapidated brick houses, no 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 was curled up on the cold and hard floor like this, and passed day by day like a year.
There are many people who set up stalls along the street, but there is nothing they need.
“Ah! Are you an ability user? Come in and sit down.” All of a sudden, there were a few heavily dressed women who they didn’t know where they came from. They were pulled to walk towards a building on the side.
“No!” Zhan Yun waved the woman’s hand, twisted his eyebrows and shouted.
The women immediately retreated to one side and dared not make any more mistakes.
At this time, they found that there are many such people in this area. They wear thin and exposed clothes and wave to the people walking on the road. They are obviously engaged in some unspeakable occupation…
In this base, the life of ordinary people is too difficult…
As a result, they turned around and saw nothing they wanted to buy. This group, with 20 yuan in their hands, went back to the hotel.
The author has something to say:
[Little Theater On The Street]
Thunder Ability Team: From another base? How can you send such defenseless people?
Dr. Yang nodded silently: Defenseless? Uh huh!
Thunder Ability Team: They look like a vase even more than a vase.
Dr. Yang nodded silently: They're all pretty, Uh huh!
Thunder Ability Team: You're not here to learn technology. You send technicians.
Dr. Yang: Although I don’t believe it in my heart, they are the main fighting forces.
Thunder Ability Team: I said, don’t cry and come to hug our thighs when you meet a zombie. We are a famous thunder power team. I…
Zheng Jiahe suddenly walked away, tore his clothes and turned into Hulk: Pa Pa Pa Pa! Blind you! You look down on us! Make you kneel! What am I? I’m your father! Please call me dad!
Thunder: I’m wrong! Help! Oh! No! Mom, the earth is terrible. I want to go back to Mars! (T＿T)
Dr. Yang shuddered: ∑ (゜ロ゜;) my chin
