Soldiers with guns at the gate of the base stopped Xiang Li's small three-wheeler.
This is a routine inspection at the base, mainly to see if anyone has been bitten by zombies.
"What happened to them?"
The soldier saw the miserable appearance of the three girls in the carriage and looked at Xiang Li suspiciously.
"The survivors who were rescued have not been bitten by zombies."
The soldiers understood.
After the end of the world, social order collapsed and human morality declined. Due to the physical differences between men and women, women have a much lower chance of survival than men in a tide of corpses.
It's good to have family to protect her. If a single woman wanders around outside, she can easily be tortured and killed by strong men or become a plaything.
The soldier looked away: "Let's go! Next one!"
You are not allowed to drive in the base without approval, so Xiang Li can only drive the tricycle to Boss Wang's car dealership first.
Boss Wang had a cigarette in his mouth and frowned. He was washing the military jeep in the open space with a water pipe.
The windshield of the Jeep was shattered into cobwebs, the body of the Jeep was covered in zombie body tissue, and a pungent smell hit the nostrils.
There were several tall men standing around, looking very imposing.
"Another brother died today. The zombies have evolved and become more difficult to deal with." One of the men said.
"It's my fault. If I had reacted faster, Hadron might not have died." Another man's eyes were slightly red and he wiped his face hard.
Wang Fuqiang took a deep drag on his cigarette, flicked the cigarette butt to the ground, and crushed it with his foot: "Life and death matter."
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at a few girls standing nearby for a while and asked, "Return the car?"
Xiang Li nodded and saw Wang Fuqiang take out a small book from his trouser pocket and deduct all the contribution points.
Several men nearby turned their heads when they heard the sound and looked at Xiang Li and his party. They are all beautiful girls. I don’t know how many days they can survive in this damn apocalypse.
Forget it, you can't protect yourself, why bother taking care of others. The man smiled bitterly.
The thin bodies of the girls behind Xiang Li were trembling slightly.
Boss Wang didn't look much and nodded towards Li.
Xiang Li: "Let's go, I'll take you directly to the Institute of Biology."
…
The base was very lively during the day, with shouts and shouts everywhere.
“Selling wild vegetables at a cheap price, just exchange for points and food!”
"Come and take a look at the newly arrived goods from the hunting team!"
A dark figure rushed toward Li. Her muscles tensed reflexively, and she tried her best to resist the urge to attack——
The half-human-tall child ran into Xiang Li's arms: "Sister, do you want to buy gold jewelry?"
The child's face was dirty, his big dark eyes flashed, and he held up a gold bracelet in his hand.
"Don't buy it." Xiang Li pushed him away gently.
"Sister, buy one, buy one. It only costs 5 contribution points or a steamed bun!" The child was like a fluffy puppy, constantly rubbing against the girl.
"Buy one, sister~"
"I said - don't buy it!" Xiang Li held the child's arm and prepared to pull him away.
The boy hung his head in disappointment.
The three girls behind him were soft-hearted and couldn't help but wrap up their jewelry when they saw the child's pitiful appearance. Unfortunately, they had nothing on them.
The girls turned to look at Xiangli with pleading eyes.
"..."
The boy jumped and ran away, and Xiang Li gave the bracelet to Lin Xiaofan.
In the base, the post-apocalyptic currency is food and contribution points. Precious objects such as gold and gems are not as useful as a piece of bread in the post-apocalyptic world.
"How much does this goods cost?"
"500 contribution points, no bargaining."
"Is it so expensive? You have to spend money on food and accommodation for it when you bring it back. I'll take 400 contribution points."
"400 contribution points?! Look at this thing. It's the most handsome and good-looking among the recent batch. I can't bear to part with it for 500!"
This conversation was very strange. Xiang Li and the others looked towards the sound——
The two men were spitting, and a scruffy, thin, handsome boy stood next to them.
The two of them had empty hands, and there were no goods that could be traded around, so Xiang Li looked at the handsome boy——
This is the object of the transaction between the two.
As far as she knew, human trafficking was prohibited on the base.
Mayor Wang Hai strives to maintain normal order after the apocalypse and resolutely opposes human trafficking.
It seems that these two people knowingly committed the crime.
"Wait a minute, have you asked the kids next to you if they are willing?" Lin Xiaofan shouted to the two of them.
The two people who were bargaining were stunned when they saw it was a little girl and didn't take it seriously.
"Of course he is willing!" said the seller.
Lin Xiaofan: "How is that possible? Hey, kid, don't be afraid. If you have any secrets, tell your sister!"
The boy raised his head, his eyes were dead, and he whispered in reply: "I volunteered."
"What?" Lin Xiaofan thought he had misheard.
"I volunteered."
Everyone was stunned.
Seller: "Did you hear that? He did it voluntarily! Go away, go away, don't block me from selling goods."
"Bah, bad luck! I won't buy it!" When the buyer saw the crowd watching, he knew he couldn't make a big deal out of the secret deal and ran away quickly.
"Hey! Don't leave! I'll sell it for 400!"
The buyer ran away and the deal was ruined.
The seller's eyes widened and he looked at the girls with a ferocious expression. If they hadn't disrupted the situation, the business would not have been completed.
Thinking of the missed 400 contribution points, his heart was bleeding!
The seller was so angry that he raised his big palm-like hand and hit Lin Xiaofan at the front——
Lin Xiaofan felt cold all over, as if he was back in that dark hotel again, and he didn't dare to move.
The seller was secretly happy because the little girls were afraid of them. If you don’t teach me a lesson, you really think you are a righteous person!
"Click!"
There was a heartbreaking sound of fractures, and the seller's raised right hand was clamped by a small white hand. His wrist swelled and he let out a sharp scream.
"Dare to hit my people?" Xiang Li looked coldly and shook off the seller's hand.
Lin Xiaofan could only see the petite figure in front of him, his face was reddish, and his heart was beating fast.
Seller: "You dare to hit me? Do you know who is covering me? Labor and management are——"
"Oh? Who is covering you?" came a rich male voice.
The crowd automatically made way for a passage, and the man in uniform looked sharply at the seller.
"Captain Huang..." The seller's eyes were horrified, and he was so unlucky that he actually kicked the iron plate!
"You punished me last time, haven't I changed my ways? I'm working as an intermediary to introduce people to work, don't you think so, Xiaohe?"
The seller grabbed the boy's arm and pinched him hard.
The boy was in pain, and his dead eyes finally showed some fluctuation: "Yes."
Captain Huang snorted coldly: "I still don't know your character? Starting from tomorrow, you will report to the hunting team and stay with the team for 20 days."
This man was greedy for life and a little clever, and he actually secretly instigated the prohibited human trafficking in the base.
The most effective punishment for him is to go out of the base and kill zombies.
Sure enough, the seller was crying, his legs were weak and he fell to the ground.
Captain Huang turned to look at Xiang Li and smiled heartily: "The little girl is really good, she has some strength! Do you want to join our hunting team to kill zombies?"
Xiang Li: "Thank you Captain Huang, I have my own team."
"Oh, that's good, that's great! Young people should kill zombies and defend our base. Well done!" Captain Huang patted her on the shoulder and praised her.
His sharp eyes stared at the boy with his head lowered.
"Do you know what you were sold to do?"
The boy was silent.
"Answer me!" Captain Huang looked serious.
"I only know that my parents are dead, and they owe a lot of loan sharks and I need to pay them back." The boy burst into tears.
The boy's parents were in poor health and could not earn a few contribution points every day, but they could barely get by until his mother was bedridden and needed treatment.
The base's medical resources are scarce. What can low-level survivors like them touch? With no other option, my father had no choice but to borrow a loan from the seller at a high interest rate.
However, he still failed to save his mother's life, and his father followed the hunting team to kill zombies in order to pay off his debts and never came back.
The boy was the only one left in the dilapidated thatched hut.
If all the adults are dead, how can we repay the usurious loan owed to the seller? Seeing that the remaining little boy was handsome, the seller had a dark heart and simply sold him to make money.
I don’t have to worry about not being able to sell it. In such a large base, there are always some customers with unique tastes...
Captain Huang's forehead twitched, regretting that he had punished the seller too lightly.
The man took the boy's hand and said, "You don't have to pay back the loan shark. Come with me. Learning more skills is the right path!"
Captain Huang took the boy away.
The boy suddenly turned around and looked deeply at Xiang Li.
Captain Huang is a good man. Xiang Li touched her chin.
…
Brother Tian fastened his belt and pushed open the simple wooden door. The bare back of a fair-skinned woman could be seen through the gap in the wooden door.
"Brother Tian~ Come and play next time~" a charming female voice came from behind.
Brother Tian lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and looked up to catch a glimpse of the crowd in front of him.
"What is this for?" He lazily walked towards it to watch the excitement.
A girl in the center of the crowd turned her face slightly——
Lin Xiaofan?
Brother Tian felt a sudden thought and rubbed his eyes.
The girl who was supposed to stay in the hotel just happened to show up at the base!
"MD!" The man spat on the ground, suppressed the panic in his heart, turned around, walked to the next door to the house he just left, and kicked in the door.
The people inside were cursing: "Who is it?!"
"Get out of here!" Brother Tian shouted in a low voice.
There was a rustling sound inside, and Fly and Anzai appeared at the door in disheveled clothes.
The two of them looked at the boss's downcast face with a blank look on his face.
"What's wrong, boss?"
"Get out of here and talk!"
…
"What?! Those little bitches came to the base." The fly stared in disbelief.
"What should we do? They know our faces! If Lin Xiangsheng finds out, we won't be able to peel off the skin!" Anzai's face was filled with fear.
"If I had known, I should have killed them!"
Brother Tian: "It's too late to say this now, but there is one thing - Lin Xiaofan must not be allowed to live to see Lin Xiangsheng!"
"But you can't kill people in the base!" the fly screamed.
"Are there not enough people killed by labor and capital?" Brother Tian punched the fly. "At worst, we can use skills to clean up the three corpses. Who can find these NPCs?"
The fly rubbed his head dazedly.
Brother Tian turned away in disgust: "Start taking action now. Kill them all before they see Lin Xiangsheng."
The man licked his lips and showed a cruel smile.
