Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 320
"Have you heard that there is a weapon called 'Sacred Wand', which can have the power of a supernatural being if we ordinary people use it." A bearded man said to his companion.

Another person said in disbelief: "Brother, are you kidding? There is such a thing, how come I don't know?"

The bearded man sneered and said, "Brother, that is to say, my brother told you that the day lily will be cold when you find out."

"I still can't believe there is such a weapon." Another person shook his head and said, but his face was full of excitement, anticipation and fear of disappointment.

"Do you know Ivy?" the bearded man asked back.

Another person said: "The famous Ivy, who doesn't know about it."

The bearded man leaned into the man's ear and said, "I heard that this fairy stick is made of a kind of magical stone, which was discovered by the people from Ivy."

"Ah, so it's really reliable?" Another person said with bright eyes.

"Hehe, buddy, if you want me to say that you are too cautious, this is a good thing, and sometimes it is not a good thing. That's it brother, believe it or not, I have to queue up to buy it, don't sell out by then , I can only watch others eat meat and I can't even drink soup." The bearded man said and walked forward.

"Hey, hey, brother, don't go, you haven't told my brother where the weapon is for sale!" Another person hurried to catch up.

"Have you heard that Ivy discovered a magical stone, which is used to make celestial rods, and the mine that produces this stone is being guarded by the Freedom Mercenary Department and the Special Operations Headquarters led by Captain Ivy." One humane.

The other person smiled triumphantly: "Who doesn't know about this? I am from the Freedom Mercenary Department. It is said that the whole Hua Kingdom is lively now. Didn't you see that more and more people came to our Rock Base recently? He was thinking of a way to find out about the stone."

"Do you think the stubborn government will hand over the stone under pressure?" the former person asked worriedly.

Another person sneered and said, "Of course not, but I know that the stone can only work if Liu Lan from Ivy uses her special ability to embed it into the weapon. It won't work for anyone else, even if the stone is found in other bases." It's also useless!"

"Then, will they ask for it together..." the person in front asked worriedly.

Another human said: "Why? Now so many people know that he is a member of the Ivy League. He is a free mercenary, not from the government's special operations headquarters, and is not dispatched by the government. If he is forced to ask someone, I am afraid that free mercenaries in the world will be disappointed Well, the government will never do such a stupid thing!"

"Hey, I don't see how far-sighted you are." The person in front patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Another person said with a smile: "Let me tell you, I have a good friend who is the head of the Freedom Mercenary Department, I still know about this..."

Walking on the street, Lin Rantong could hear such words everywhere, and couldn't help pursing his lips into a smile, and turned to Ma Xiaoyan and the others and said, "I didn't expect that weapon to come out so soon."

"That's right. It's all thanks to our Liu Lan. It's a pity that someone doesn't even have time to go home now." Chu Zhuzhu covered her mouth with half sympathy and half gloating.

Mo Li interjected: "Don't worry, now she counts the money until her hands cramp, and she feels beautiful in her heart."

Lin Rantong smiled lightly and said, "I heard Director Wu say that although Liu Lan belongs to the fusion technology, he has developed a processing instrument. It only needs Liu Lan to input a little bit of special ability in his body every time, and the fusion technology will be ready. It can process hundreds of celestial sticks, but now the government only sells a hundred celestial sticks a day, so that girl is free now."

"Hey, then why is she still in the research institute and not coming back?" Chu Zhuzhu asked.

Mo Li twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Isn't she addicted, doesn't she just like tinkering with those things?"

"It is Liu Lan's obsession with researching weapons that can make this kind of achievement." Tang Tang said with a look of admiration.

Liu Yu frowned slightly and said, "Sister-in-law, haven't our Ivy Leagues been too high-profile these days?"

Liu Yu was right. During this period of time, Lin Rantong became the head of the free mercenary department and became a figure who could lift weights in the Stone Base. Ivy also became the focus of people's attention and discussions.

Not long after, a magical weapon that can give ordinary people the power of supernatural powers broke out, and that weapon all relied on a kind of red stone, which was also discovered by Ivy. Next to the mercenary department, the Special Warfare Headquarters and the Free Mercenary Department jointly guarded the treasure mine, which made Ivy even more popular.

Ma Xiaoyan tossed her hair back casually and said, "What are you afraid of? When we should be low-key, we should keep our tails between our legs. When we should be high-key, we should not be timid."

Lin Rantong quite agreed with Ma Xiaoyan's statement, and said with a smile: "Don't think too much, live as you want. You are all clamoring to follow me to buy supplies, so hurry up."

"Yes, it's so cold." Tang Tang gasped into his hand as he spoke.

Lin Rantong glanced at the dazzling white roofs on the street, and his heart sank. It has only just entered winter, and there have been several heavy snowfalls in a row. This winter seems to be extraordinarily cold.

Even in such a cold day, most people on the street are still wearing single clothes, their lips are purple, and they keep stomping their feet. No one dares to stand still. I don’t know if it will get colder and colder in the future. If so if……

Recently, the government has organized several missions to search for winter clothes in the city. It has just been more than a year since the end of the world, and the winter clothes in the warehouses of those garment factories should still be the same as new ones.

Naturally, Lin Rantong also took part in the team. Anyway, everyone in the free mercenary department is now assigned a cotton coat or down jacket.The extra clothes were given to the children taken in by the school.

That's right, even though the school was next to the mine that produced red stones, Lin Rantong still used the school as the headquarters of the Free Mercenary Department, and the children he took in also lived there.

"Rantong, do you think the weather will get colder and colder? With so many ordinary people in the base, the government may not be able to distribute a winter coat to each of them. What will they do? Will they freeze to death?" Tang said. Sugar said worriedly.

Lin Rantong sighed: "Yes, now the cities near the base have been searched, and the mission locations of government organizations are getting farther and farther away. It may be difficult to collect winter clothes for millions of people. Mostly it's fine."

"Then how to distribute it?" Tang Tang asked.

"I heard that women under the age of 40 and children under the age of 16 are divided first, and then men need to use crystal beads to buy." Liu Yu said.

"Women and children are still in the minority, and the rest need men to buy with crystal cores. In fact, it's just survival of the fittest." Ma Xiaoyan said.

Most ordinary people work in the base, and the government provides the most basic rations. If you want to have crystal beads, except for your relatives and friends who have supernatural powers, you must participate in the mission to kill zombies, so the government allows ordinary men to spend crystal beads Buying winter clothes is actually a disguised form of survival of the fittest, weeding out those weak and timid men.

Although it is cruel, it is also the helpless and most reasonable way. There is no way. The number of winter clothes is limited. It is always necessary to survive as strong as possible. This is the naked cruel end of the world.

Except for occasional moments, there is no mercy for the weak.

The few people quickly bought the supplies and walked leisurely along the street towards their home.

During this period of time, the matter of the stone disturbed everyone in the Ivy League, and then they continued to participate in missions for winter clothes. Coupled with the usual uninterrupted practice, it was rare to go to the street, and several women rushed to enjoy this rare experience. moment of relaxation.

"Look, what's going on in front?" Tang Tang pointed to the front.

When everyone looked around, they saw that there were people from the inner three floors and the outer three floors, making a noise.

Lin Rantong glanced at it and said: "Could it be trouble on the street? It's strange. There are not many such things now."

It is clearly stipulated within the base that killing is not allowed. Once a murder is discovered, it will be severely punished (of course, if it is not discovered, it will be another story). However, after the end of the world, the folk customs are extremely tough, and there are many fights on the streets. Let alone the patrol team. Come on, I don’t want to worry about it. In this world, timid and fearful people can’t survive. Fighting may be able to exercise their skills. So when fighting on the street, as long as no one is killed, everyone is happy to watch the fun, even if it is mutated. The battle between monsters and supernatural beings will attract many people to learn.

It's just that since everyone has fought against the zombie tide together, there have been fewer fights like this. It may be that people feel that they should save their strength to fight against the zombies, and don't compete with their own people.

Lin Rantong and the others walked forward with a little curiosity, and through the gaps in the crowd, they saw someone arguing.

Lin Rantong took a closer look and found that one of them was a man surnamed Tian whom he had helped.

The man surnamed Tian was holding a little girl in his arms. The little girl was wearing a flowered padded jacket. It looked brand new. The little girl looked extremely beautiful, but her big eyes showed fear and concern for her father. .

Lin Rantong glanced to the side, and saw seven or eight people standing together, and one of them was also holding a little girl. Judging by the momentum of the group, they seemed to be a mercenary squad.

"Brother, I will offer a second-order crystal nucleus to buy the padded jacket worn by this little girl. What do you think of the price?" the man in the middle asked.

The man surnamed Tian couldn't help but hugged the girl in his arms even tighter. He seemed to know that the group in front of him was not easy to mess with, but he said bravely: "My daughter got it, and she likes it very much. If this elder brother wants to make it for my daughter A padded jacket, just go to the supplies office to get one, and the government will distribute padded jackets to children for free.”

The man in the middle frowned and said: "My daughter likes this dress very much, brother, you see that you have taken my crystal nucleus, so you can take your daughter to get another one."

The man surnamed Tian bit his lip, looking unmoved.

Just kidding, although the government distributes cotton-padded clothes to children for free, every child who receives a cotton-padded coat is registered in detail, and no matter what reason thereafter, they cannot receive a second one.The same is true for their adult men who buy cotton-padded clothes. Although ten crystal beads can buy a cotton-padded jacket, each person can only buy one and never sell more. This is clearly written on the notice next to it.

Why, these people don't even know?
