Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 41 First Arrival at the Base
Many people walking towards them were secretly looking at Lin Rantong and his party.Yes, he looked at him secretly, with a hint of fear in his expression.

Lin Rantong secretly wondered why these people peeked at them with fearful eyes.Looking at these people's steady footsteps and agile movements, they are obviously supernatural beings or mutants. However, most of their clothes are very old and dirty. Only a few of them are dressed in bright clothes, but they are all dressed up to facilitate movement.

The high stone blue wall stretches as far as the eye can see, and there is an arched gate in the middle, engraved with four dragon-flying characters of "Pearl Base" on it, and the sunlight coats them with a layer of gold, which makes people look at them with an inspiring power .

The door was open, and there were two young men in military uniforms standing there. When Lin Rantong and the others reached the door, they were stopped.

One of them said with a serious face: "Please undergo an inspection to see if you are infected by zombies."

Seeing that everyone was stunned and their faces relaxed, he took out something like a pen and said, "Don't be nervous, just shine a light on it." Then he took a picture of everyone with this thing, and it was blue light. nodded.

The other person smiled at Lin Rantong and the others, and said, "It's the first time for you to come to the Pearl Base, please register here." He pointed to a nearby house.

Lin Rantong and the others walked into the room, and saw a woman in her thirties wearing a military uniform. This woman had short curly hair, and two buttons were unbuttoned on the top of the military uniform. A pair of attractive little white rabbits are about to jump out of the clothes.This completely destroyed the solemnity she should have had because she was wearing a military uniform, and instead gave her a taste of uniform temptation.

Xia Yongjia sighed slightly in his heart, the government sent such a stunner here to guard the gate, it was simply tempting these new supernatural beings to commit crimes.

The woman in military uniform looked up and saw so many people coming into the room, and most of them were women, she couldn't help being taken aback, then took out a stack of papers from the drawer and handed them to everyone, raised her chin and said, "Fill out this form!"

Lin Rantong and the others looked down at the contents of the paper and couldn't help but change their faces slightly. This is a registration form, and several items such as name, age, whether they have special abilities, whether they are mutants, etc. are listed on the paper as expected. The intention below is There are three options in the column: join the government special team, privately form a mercenary squad, and act alone.

Seeing a few people frowning and saying nothing, the woman in military uniform said impatiently: "Fill it out quickly, don't waste my time." The voice was charming and moving, but the tone was really not good.

"What do these three options mean?" Xia Yongjia asked.

The woman in military uniform seemed to have expected this question early on, and said very fluently: "If you are supernatural beings or mutants, and you choose to join the government special team, then your food, clothing, housing and transportation will all be borne by the government, and the spoils of war after each operation will also be borne by the government." It will be distributed according to credit. At the same time, each person can bring an ordinary person to live without paying any fees, and of course they will take care of their own food."

"It sounds like the salary is good. I don't know what to do if you choose this option?" Lin Rantong asked.

The woman in military uniform glanced at Lin Rantong, and continued: "Those who participate in the government group must truthfully report what kind of supernatural power or type of mutant they are, and how much ability they have reached. At the same time, they must obey the government's arrangements and participate in various tasks."

"What about the last two items?" Tang Tang asked.

The woman in military uniform frowned: "A mercenary team must have more than five mutants or supernatural beings. They are free to go out to hunt mutant animals and zombies, and they can also participate in some tasks issued by the government. Of course, the government will give enough Remuneration, but each team has to hand over a certain amount of first-order crystal nuclei to the government a day, 5-10 teams pay half (one every two days), 10-15 team pays 1, 15-20 team pays 2, and 20 for more than 3 people. As for those who act alone, they have to hand in a first-order crystal nucleus every three days."

When he said this, he looked at the crowd and sneered: "You are newcomers, don't think that you are free to move. In fact, many people who just started to choose to move freely ended up crying and shouting to join the government special group."

"Why?" Tang Tang asked puzzled.

"Because many free-moving people can't even fill their stomachs!"

"Then what if only ordinary people come here?" Lin Rantong asked.

The woman in military uniform showed a hint of ridicule: "Then you must completely obey the government's arrangement and do things. The government will provide food to satisfy your hunger. Of course, if you are under 16 years old, you don't need to work, and you don't need to pay the crystal core. The government will provide half of the food for ordinary people. As for adults who don't want to listen to the government's arrangements, they have to hand in a first-order crystal nucleus every three days, and whether they can survive depends on their own abilities."

Hearing this, Liu Yu's face turned pale.

After hearing what the woman in military uniform said, several people discussed in low voices. Except for Lin Dashan, An Ran, and Liu Yu who filled in as ordinary people, the others all filled in as supernatural beings, and at the same time chose the second type to form a mercenary team.

The woman in military uniform glanced at the table and saw that there were so many supernatural beings among them. She glanced over with surprise on her face. The probability of supernatural beings appearing is one in a thousand, which is far less than mutants. There are hundreds of supernatural beings, and there are six supernatural beings in this group!Thinking of this, his tone softened slightly: "If you choose the second option, please go to the second room on the left to go through the formalities of registering a mercenary team."

When I came to the second room, there was a kind-looking middle-aged man sitting in it. He registered several people neatly, and asked with a smile, "I don't know what the name of your team is?"

Yep?Several people looked at each other in blank dismay.

"I said fire rose!" Tang Tang said excitedly.

"Tch, it sounds so vulgar at first glance, and besides, there are three big men like us, what kind of rose is it called!" Ma Zhi sarcastically said.

"Why don't you call it Qinglong Squad?" This was Xia Yongjia's voice.

"Then why isn't it called Suzaku Squad?" Ma Xiaoyan asked back.

Listening to everyone's argument, Lin Rantong was speechless for a while, and even the middle-aged man next to him looked on happily, obviously seeing this kind of situation too often.

Wei Xiuning, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Why don't you call me Ivy." As he spoke, he thought of the long green dress that dragged the floor.

Tang Tang said in surprise: "I didn't expect you to name it, I thought you could keep silent for a day! I think this name is good!"

Several people nodded in agreement, Ma Xiaoyan turned her face up and snorted.

In this way, the famous Ivy League Mercenary Squad was born in the midst of a blushing dispute.

"Okay, please pay the registration fee for a first-order crystal nucleus." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

It's really black, Lin Rantong thought while taking out a light red crystal nucleus and handing it to the middle-aged man.

"By the way, where can I go to learn how to use crystal nuclei?" Lin Rantong asked.

The middle-aged man said enthusiastically: "Go out and walk along the main road, and you will see it after passing an intersection. It says 'Super Power Center', which is very conspicuous. By the way, you must hand in the crystal core on time. If you don't hand in it for more than five days If you do, you will be expelled from the Pearl Base, there are many payment points, and you can see it when you just walk around."

Seeing a few people turning around to leave, he shouted as if remembering something: "Wait a minute, are you looking for a place to live?"

Seeing people looking at him, he skillfully took out a picture, pointed to one side and said: "Look, this is a place for foreigners to live, this kind of three rooms and one living room, 20 crystal nuclei a month, this kind of 15 yuan a month for two rooms, and 10 yuan a month for this kind of one bedroom and one living room. As for these small single rooms, they only need three crystal nuclei a month. small courtyard." He pointed to a place.

"I don't know the price?" Xia Yongjia asked.

"It's not expensive, five first-order crystal nuclei a day." The middle-aged man's face was full of wrinkles.

Lin Rantong only felt his eyebrows twitch. It's not expensive. If he lives for a long time, not many people will suffer.But when he thought about his secret, it was more suitable to live in this kind of independent small courtyard, so he had to take out 50 first-order crystal nuclei as a deposit.Other residences only need to pay a deposit of 5 days, and only this kind of residence needs to pay a deposit of at least 10 days.

Walking to the street, Tang Tang asked in a daze, "Why do I feel that we are fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered? This Pearl Base is not as good as I imagined, it is simply exploiting us!"

Lin Rantong sneered: "Tang Tang, in fact, it is not too much for the base to do so. You must know that many resources are only available in these bases. In other places, even crystal nuclei cannot be exchanged. We enjoy these resources and facilities. , Naturally, there is a price to pay.”

The streets are bustling with tall buildings on both sides, just like the streets of any bustling city before the end of the world.

Listening to all kinds of noise, shouting, talking and laughing, a group of people felt a sense of intimacy that they had not seen for a long time. This kind of hustle and bustle is exactly the warmth that people in the last days yearn for.

In the room where they left not long ago, the woman in military uniform picked up the phone, her voice was completely different from the indifference she faced to everyone just now, but rather coquettish: "Hey, Brother Zhou, I have something to report to you... "Fingers painted with red nail polish flicked over the registration form that Lin Rantong and the others had just handed in.

The author has something to say: I was pleasantly surprised to find a long comment, and I am very grateful to Fengmotong children's shoes. It is said that Liu Ye has never dared to ask for a long comment, and has no confidence.In addition, Yunfeixuan children's shoes, you have given a lot of rewards, Liu Ye said in shame that the pears are very big, and whispered thank you.
