Chapter 57
Chapter 57
Xiwang base.
This is a medium-sized base that is very far away from Dawn City. The number of residents in it is around [-] if not [-]. The base is named after the head of the base.
The director of the base, Lin Xiwang, is a middle-aged man with a very cheerful appearance, but his face is also a little sad at this time, and he is walking around anxiously with his hands on his hips.
"Is the news true? Is it true that someone is delivering something?"
After walking for more than ten minutes, Lin Xiwang finally stopped, still looking at his secretary with his hands on his hips.
"It's true. It's almost time for the transaction that I agreed with him. It must be almost here." The secretary looked at the watch in his hand, and then went to the window to look at the sky.
"Then we'll wait at the city gate."
Many bases have tacitly set the observation time for entering the base. Lin Xiwang is in a hurry. After they enter the base, they will have to wait a lot of time. It is better to go directly to the gate of the city to have a look.
Waiting is the most annoying thing, especially at this time when there are no mobile phones or any other means of entertainment. Lin Xiwang and his secretary stood in a dark place and stared at the door.
When they saw a car approaching, Lin Xiwang and the secretary couldn't help poking their heads, and rushed forward.
Wait for Luo Ziqiang and Luo Xiang to get off the car.
Luo Ziqiang and Luo Xiang were the secretary's former university classmates. Before the apocalypse, they occasionally had some contact. After the apocalypse, the contact was broken. It was the secretary who saw Luo Ziqiang handing over the material to a mercenary group a few days ago. They contacted Up.
The secretary himself doesn't have many crystal nuclei, only two or three.
Even if he is an old classmate, he neither dares nor has the right to directly file a lawsuit and exchange all the crystal nuclei in the base for matter.
So this time he changed to a large bag of whole-wheat bread and a box of water. Although the whole-wheat bread is unpalatable, it is durable!
When the goods arrive, pay the money and sign the receipt.
Lin Xiwang glanced at the packaging, and quickly invited people into the base. As for the question of whether to observe or not, the base chief and secretary led the way, and only after checking that there were no wounds on the body, let people go in.
"Brother Qiang, I don't know if you have other materials. If you want to buy other things, how is this deal done?"
As soon as he arrived at the office, Lin Xiwang asked anxiously.
These days, everyone is busy with their lives and looking for food, and no one has time to listen to each other's beating around the bush.
Luo Ziqiang was very satisfied with Lin Xiwang's directness.
"This is our current transaction list, you can take a look." After working for several days, Luo Ziqiang and Luo Xiang have long been familiar with this set of procedures, and they took out a lot of printed copies from their bags. Takeaway list.
It is recorded on the list that they have more materials in Dawn City.
Most of them are vegetables, rice, wheat flour, etc., but there is no meat on them, and there are also a small amount of living materials written on them, such as quilts, paper towels, etc.
Lin Xiwang's hand holding the list trembled a few times.
"Is it all there?"
"Yes, as long as you can afford the money, we will deliver the goods within three days without charging you a deposit."
In the last days, no one knows how long they can live, and no deposit is required so that everyone can feel at ease. Besides, no one signs for the delivery when they deliver it, so they can find another place to sell it without worrying about selling it, and there is no delay in taking it back for their own use.
They still have refrigerators in Dawn City.
Thinking of this, Luo Ziqiang was even more grateful that he joined Shuguang City in time. According to the city lord's wishes, when the number of residents reached [-], he would suspend the admission of residents. The city lord did not say when this suspension would last, but he estimated that it was also a building in the city. Not enough to live in.
Indeed, as Luo Ziqiang thought, the current buildings in Shuguang City can only accommodate [-] people at most.
If there are too many, the order will easily become chaotic. It is just time to re-plan and adjust the management of Dawn City.
The number of people increased too quickly, the people were not unified, the work types were not perfect, and people were idle. Even if there was pressure from the "prestige of the city lord", it would be easy to cause trouble.
Lin Xiwang asked Luo Ziqiang and Luo Xiang to sit in the office first, then took the secretary outside, and the two began to discuss.
After the final calculation, I ordered ten bags of 50KG rice and a small bag of vegetables, and agreed to deliver them two days later.
The materials sold outside Dawn City are naturally several times more expensive than those inside Dawn City.
With this amount of material, it may be possible to get all of it within seven or eight crystal nuclei in Dawn City, but it takes about twenty crystal nuclei to draw it outside.
These twenty crystal cores are already the bottom of the box in the Xiwang base. They still want to buy more. They can stock up if they can’t finish them all, but their family’s financial resources are small, and not everyone can kill them. A zombie with a crystal core.
"Brother Qiang, is your base still recruiting people? If people on my side want to go to your place, will you welcome them?"
After placing the order, Lin Xiwang didn't bother to hide it, and asked straightforwardly.
He doesn't want to work in other people's bases and wants to be the base commander himself, but what if everyone in his hands wants to run away?
At that time, a polished commander will not be interesting.
Asked about the situation of the base, Luo Ziqiang was very proud: "Not everyone can go if they want to go. Our residential building is almost full, and we will temporarily not accept residents after it is full."
"Furthermore, you have to pay rent to live in a residential building. How can so many people kill zombies above level two at will?"
Lin Xiwang and the secretary looked at each other.
The housing in their base has never collected any rent, but every time they enter and leave the base, they need to pay a little of the resources they get when they go out.
Luo Ziqiang's base sounds like he is asking for money everywhere, but not to mention Luo Ziqiang, even Luo Xiang beside him looks proud, what's going on?
Could it be that after the rent was collected, the people in the base wouldn't be rioting?
After Luo Ziqiang and Luo Xiang indicated that they were going to deliver supplies to another house, only Lin Xiwang and the secretary were left in the office.
"Tell me, what is going on in Dawn City? Is there really so much material that can be sold anywhere?"
It's not that they didn't suspect it, but this time the packaging of the things Luo Ziqiang sent over was too clean, so clean that they suspected that these were produced by the Shuguang City Base itself, rather than collected from outside, but the current outside There are not many substances, and the collected packaging will not be particularly clean.
"I don't know. If Shuguang City is not too far away from us, I would like to go and see what it's like to have a place where Luo Ziqiang can praise ten words and nine sentences."
"Then let's go take a look sometime. Give me a drink of your water." As the base director, Lin Xiwang naturally won't be short of food and other supplies, but he can't eat as much as he used to. Drink if you want.
After Lin Xiwang opened the water bottle, he took a big gulp and drank it.
"Let's go, go and issue a mission, ask them to hand over the crystal nucleus they received, and we will exchange it for food."
"And let our people hurry up and kill the zombies."
"But everyone has seen it just now. I will let Luo Ziqiang take charge anyway, and he will not change with us."
"You are stupid, they don't come here every day."
"..."
Thanks for the reward of "Cherry Blossoms Fall Like Snow" and the monthly pass of "March".
