Sun Jingtao turned his head and said sheepishly: "Little brother, wait a moment, I'll be fine soon!"

The few people finally followed Jiang Yan's wishes and rented a small double-story courtyard similar to a villa. The building area of ​​the room was only more than 100 square meters, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, plus a small garden of the same area.

Although it is not as spacious as a villa, it is far enough for them. Moreover, if they live alone, there will be fewer people coveting it and it will be much safer.

The rental period for a few people is tentatively scheduled for half a month.

Jiang Yan was secretly surprised for a second when she heard that the rent was only a 500g bag of fried rice, plus three shriveled potatoes with sprouts and two semi-dried water snakes.

Nowadays, materials are so valuable.

Fortunately, Jiang Yan asked Su Dai and Sun Jingtao, who had more life experience, to negotiate the rent.

The two are good bargainers.

According to her own style, there is a high probability that she will be taken advantage of and give away a bunch of things.

"The guy said that the most valuable thing is the shriveled potatoes that have sprouted. Because he can exchange them for a few kilograms of rice," Su Dai said.

Jiang Yan: "."

After confirming the house, the renter took a bunch of keys with numbers and room numbers from the backpack behind him and handed them to Sun Jingtao and others. He immediately returned to his previous politeness and said politely:
"Brothers and sisters, someone will come here soon to take you into the base. He can help you carry some supplies, and then give you a detailed introduction to the situation in the base. You just need to give him some food, similar to A tip or something.”

After saying that, he turned around and waved towards the shore not far away, and shouted "Uncle Third!" A man in his forties with a medium build stood up and walked towards them.

He had a red work badge hanging on his chest, which was very conspicuous in the dark and depressing world.

Su Dai glanced at the young man and said, "Little brother, didn't you take us there? What if he doesn't know the way and leads us astray?" How could he not bury it?

"Haha, little sister, I'm just a customer solicitor. I'm weak and can't do heavy work. Don't worry, my third uncle will take you to the room. We are all a family and have been prepared at the base. I won’t blackmail you if you are involved in the case.”

The young man finished explaining with a smile, took the A4 paper, turned around and walked quickly towards another assault boat that had just parked behind them.

"Hello, I'm Lao Xue. I will be responsible for taking you into the residential area of ​​the base." As soon as they put on their backpacks, the man came forward and took the initiative to take a duffel bag from Jiang Yan's hand. .

He didn't wear a mask, but wrapped a woolen scarf around his face to keep warm while covering his mouth and face.

Although only one pair of eyes is exposed, he looks honest and honest.

Several people nodded, picked up their luggage, and followed him ashore.

There is still a distance of more than fifty meters from the shore to the base entrance registration office.

The small area was crowded with people, noisy and messy.

Bargaining, quarreling, children crying, men scolding. It’s more of a vegetable market than a vegetable market.

In addition, there were sneezing and coughing sounds one after another.

Many people have no coverings such as masks or scarves, and no awareness of reaching out to cover their mouths.

Visible to the naked eye, droplets stained with black ash are flying everywhere.

Jiang Yan suddenly understood why those gun-wielding soldiers were fully armed.

"We have to go faster," she warned in a low voice.

Several people speeded up their pace in unison.

Less than ten meters away from the entrance of the base, a five or six-year-old girl with disheveled hair stopped in her tracks and suddenly ran towards her like crazy. Before Su Dai could react, the other party hugged her calf: "Auntie, please give me some food."

Everyone: "."

"Auntie has no food, and she is still hungry." Su Dai wanted to lift her legs, but saw the child sitting down on her instep with great experience.

"You are lying. You all have money to rent a small villa, how can you have no food? Auntie, just give me a candy. Please," the little girl said pitifully, and looked up at the old Xue.

Several people stared at each other.

Looking to the side, I realized that the people who entered the base like Lao Xue had signs hanging on their chests.

Just the color is different.

It seems that these different brands correspond to different rental areas.

Invisibly, these survivors who had just arrived in Xiangcheng were already divided into three, six or nine levels.

This is tantamount to exposing one's material situation to the public.
Su Dai was a little dumbfounded, "Kid, my aunt is really not here, please get up quickly."

It wasn't that she was reluctant to give it, but that she had already seen other children looking at her eagerly.

In this environment, once one is given, the remaining people will definitely flock to him.

The little girl snorted arrogantly, "If Auntie doesn't give me candy, I won't get up!"

Su Dai: "."

"Ah? Uncle, what are you doing?!" The little girl suddenly screamed in pain and turned to look at Sun Jingtao, who was lifting up the collar of her clothes.

Sun Jingtao frowned and said nothing.

As soon as he lifted the child and put it aside, twenty or thirty men and women who were sitting on the ground suddenly stood up and surrounded him with fierce eyes and some large black stones in their hands.

Their clothes were full of dirt and dried blood, and their bodies exuded a strong sour smell, as if they had been marinating in the garbage for ten days and a half.

When the little girl saw this, it was as if she had been suddenly poisoned. She lay down on the ground with a face of pain, shook her hands and feet, pointed at Sun Jingtao and shouted in pain: "Uuuuu! Killing! Killing!!"

Jiang Yan glanced at the soldier holding a gun at the entrance of the base over there, but saw that the other person turned a deaf ear to what was happening here.

She looked at Lao Xue, "Old Xue, the soldiers here don't care about the security outside?"

"This -" Lao Xue looked embarrassed and hesitated for a second, then said in a low voice with shrinking eyes:
"They are responsible for maintaining the security of the base from infringement. The rest is not under their jurisdiction. The group of people across the street are all desperadoes. They randomly look for refugees every day. Be careful. If not, just give them some supplies. , let’s put things to rest.”

When Jiang Yan heard this, she raised her eyebrows: Good guy, this is touching her.

Sun Jingtao turned around and exchanged glances with Jiang Yan and others.

They have thermal weapons and force, and any person who comes out to deal with these intruders is more than enough.

But at this moment, it is obvious that it cannot be handled so simply and crudely. After all, there are many people around.

You can only shock the opponent first.

Just thinking about it, Jiang Yan took out a bloodstained butcher's knife from the backpack and actually from the space.

Ye Qing and Sun Jingtao were about to touch the small hammer when they saw a rose-red Mercedes-Benz G driving out at the entrance of the base, stirring up a burst of black dust. (End of chapter)
