Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1669: The trading market is so powerful!
Night arrives.

Lao Mazi brought Xu Feng and others out of Room 1, Building 101, Area A.

"Come on, I'll take you to where you're going to live." The old man with pockmarks said to Xu Feng.

"Thank you." Xu Feng said gratefully.

Looking up at the surrounding buildings, I felt a sense of déjà vu.

It was as if I had returned to the residential area before the end of the world.

The residential buildings in the trading market living area are built in a very standardized manner, all of which are eight stories high and have no elevators.

The distance between buildings in Area A is 16.8 meters, which has been carefully calculated.

The distance between buildings should be 0.7 times of their height to ensure the lighting and ventilation of a building.

As for Area B, the building height is the same, but the distance between buildings is much shorter, only 8 meters.

The distance between buildings in Zone C is only 5 meters.

Moreover, these buildings are long in shape, with 10 rooms on each floor.

Area A was built first and has a relatively advantageous geographical location, close to the outside, making it convenient for going to the commercial district or leaving the city.

Area C is at the innermost part of the residential area and it takes some time to walk out.

At night, they walked along the main road into the residential area.

The street lamps flickered with pale yellow light.
From time to time there is a traffic sign on the road to tell others how to go.

In addition,

Some fruit trees are planted on both sides of the street lights.

These fruit trees are growing well and have not died due to the drought.

It is late autumn now, and the fruit trees are full of fruits, which make Xu Feng and others stunned.

Seeing them looking at the fruit trees, Lao Mazi reminded them:

"Don't set your sights on this fruit tree. Didn't you see the sign hanging below: No picking allowed?"

"If you pick a piece of fruit, you will be fined 10 points. How many kilograms of fruit can you buy with these points?"

"If you don't have points to compensate, you will be kicked out of the trading market."

Xu Feng quickly said: "No, we are just a little surprised."

"And, I'm curious, no one picked them secretly?"

The old man looked at her with a warning look in his eyes and said seriously:

"Take a good look at the manual on the regulations of the trading market that was distributed. The trading market is actually a good place to live, but you have to abide by the rules."

"Otherwise, the law enforcement here is very cruel."

"Once a fight or conflict occurs, there is only one way out: death."

"Privately robbing or stealing other people's property will result in death!"

The words "death" he said made Xu Feng and others feel uncomfortable.

Scary!

This punishment is too harsh. There is no room for maneuver. They just kill the person directly!
Xu Feng listened carefully to Lao Mazi's warning, put the page of the city entry manual in his hand into his arms, and planned to read it carefully after he settled down.

As they walked into the residential area, they arrived at Area B.

The distance between residential buildings in the residential area is only 8 meters. You can obviously feel that the field of vision has become narrow, and there is an inexplicable feeling of oppression.

Going further, they arrived at residential area C.

The densely packed buildings form a large area.

There is only a five-meter distance between them. There are no fruit trees here, only street lights.

The extremely narrow distance between buildings makes people feel depressed and breathless.

If you live in here, forget about lighting and ventilation.

It feels a bit like the slums in Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong.

The Kowloon Walled City was filled with drugs, violence, and all kinds of dark and illegal things.

People living inside cannot see the sun all year round.

However, the residential area in Zone C is better than Kowloon Walled City, at least there are gaps between buildings.

"We're here!" Old Mazi pointed to the sign next to him and said:

"This is Area C. You have a good location, right next to the main road, Building 78."

Then he pointed to the right and said, "We live in Building 18. You can find us over there."

"Okay." Xu Feng nodded.

I feel a little emotional. There is such a huge gap between houses of different grades!
I just walked all the way from Area A and saw with my own eyes the difference between these three grades of houses. You can tell the difference just from the distance between the buildings.

Moreover, when he passed Area A just now, there were lights in both the corridor and the room.

But when we got to Area C, there were no lights in the corridor or the rooms.

There are only two big lights hanging behind each building, illuminating the entire building behind.

The light scattered into the corridor and window gaps, shining into the room.

People are hurrying on the road, no one is looking at them, they are all focused on walking their own way.

Lao Mazi led Xu Feng and others along the main road and walked for a long time before they found Building 78.

I have to say that Building 78 has a good location, belonging to the leftmost row of buildings in Area C.

In this kind of place, the light will be slightly better.

Go upstairs.

On the second floor, there were many survivors standing in the corridor.

They were leaning on the railing in the corridor, chatting and looking at Lao Mazi and his group with curiosity.

Xu Feng and others were assigned rooms 205, 206, and 207, each room could accommodate eight people.

Four beds, bunk beds.

The old man stood at the door of Room 205, looked inside and said with a smile:

"Oh, you are lucky. Normally, the houses with lower numbers in Area C don't have wooden beds yet, but yours still has one. Not bad."

Xu Feng stood at the door of No. 205 and saw the situation inside the room through the light from the building behind.

The light coming from behind is very scattered, so it's not very clear.

However, the room was very simple, with only four beds and nothing else.

The room is only a dozen square meters, and it seems a bit crowded with four beds.

"This is where we will live from now on, everyone hurry in." Xu Feng said to the people behind him.

He then assigned the personnel, and their team had a total of eighteen people.

One room can only accommodate 8 people. When the two rooms are full, two people must live with the others. Before Xu Feng could say anything, Liu Da and Ge Ming took the initiative to ask to live in Room 207.

Xu Feng's team in the room seemed extremely excited.

After wandering for so long, I finally have a place to live.

Although this place of residence only has four beds, it feels a bit bare.

But it is much better than them being outside and worrying about wall-climbing zombies coming to them all the time.

They also saw the walls of the trading market, and the densely packed ultraviolet lights on the wall.

All these gave them a great sense of security.

"Brother Feng, we can finally have a good night's sleep."

"Yes, Brother Feng, I want to sleep until I wake up naturally tomorrow!"

"The air here is sweet. This is heaven!"

Looking at the team members excitedly putting things in place, Xu Feng's mouth curled up.

The old pockmarked man who had been standing at the door waiting suddenly said, "Captain Xu, let me take you to familiarize yourself with the commercial area first and buy some water and food."

Hearing this, Xu Feng looked at the old pockmarked man at the door and hurried over.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Then he found Zhang Shuzhen and Li Da and asked them to follow him to the commercial district.

As for the others, they stayed in the residential building to familiarize themselves with the environment.

soon.

Lao Mazi, Wang Fang, Xu Feng, Zhang Shuzhen and Li Da went downstairs.

"There are many places to get water. There are several places to get water in Area C. I will take you there when I come back."

"There are also several public baths here. Taking a bath costs 0.1 points."

"Can you still take a shower?" Li Da, who was next to Xu Feng, looked shocked, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

It hasn't rained for several months. You know, the rivers outside are dry and there is drought everywhere. It is difficult for this group of people coming from the north to get water along the way.

To get water, people have to risk their lives and fetch water from large reservoirs and lakes.

There are many zombies in lakes and reservoirs. Zombies like water and often gather in lakes.
If you are surrounded by zombies while fetching water, you will be dead.

Therefore, water is considered to be an extremely precious resource.

They often don't have drinking water, but the trading market actually allows them to take a shower.

What a luxury!
The key point is that the population here seems to be quite large.

How huge is the amount of water consumed every day!
Where do they get so much water?

Xu Feng asked in confusion: "Where does all this water come from?"

The old pockmarked man sniffed and replied:

"There is a water plant at the trading market. The water from the water plant is introduced from Nanwan Lake. Nanwan Lake is very large and has an amazing water storage capacity. It is completely enough for us to use."

"Waterworks!?"

Li Da took a breath of cold air.

“That’s it.”

"Is it really enough?"

"How did you bring the water here?"

"How far is it?"

"When the water plant was being built near the lake, how did you deal with the zombies in the lake?"

"Has the water been treated? Lake water must be treated. You can't drink it directly, otherwise it will cause big problems."

Li Da asked several questions in a row. They had been to some reservoirs to fetch water and knew the dangers of fetching water from reservoirs.

The larger the reservoir area, the more zombies there are inside.

Due to the recent continuous drought, many places have dried up.

Out of instinct, zombies will move towards places with high humidity and moisture.

Some large reservoirs and lakes may contain hundreds of thousands of zombies, which is extremely terrifying.

Every time they try to get water, it is like trying to get chestnuts out of the fire.

What's more, they are building a water plant by the lake. Such a big noise will definitely attract all the zombies in the lake out.

What they don't know is,
Nanwan Lake is one of the largest reservoirs in Henan Province, with a controlled area of ​​1100 square kilometers and a water storage capacity of 16.3 billion cubic meters.

Lao Mazi and his friends did not participate in the construction at that time, but they participated in the transportation of construction materials.

So when Nanwan Lake was being built, I also went there.

They watched the dock being built bit by bit.

Li Da's endless questions did not annoy the old man.

On the contrary, he really liked Li Da's inexperienced and shocked look when he asked.

Then he answered their questions, and Xu Feng and the others were shocked again. Whenever he saw their expressions like this, Lao Mazi was particularly happy and felt that he was also very cool.

It feels like, before the end of the world, you have a friend who is very arrogant, and then you show your friend off and brag to other friends:

I have a friend who is awesome
Then reap the expressions of shock and admiration from others.

"As for Nanwan Lake, I've been there before. The water area is very large. I heard it's dozens of square kilometers!"

"The water plant was not built in Nanwan Lake. We just built a water diversion wharf there. Nanwan Lake is ten kilometers away from the trading market. In addition, the water plant was built inside the trading market."

"In fact, the water is first led to the trading market, and then disinfected. You can drink it directly, don't worry, but it is not recommended to use it as bath water."

Lao Mazi patiently answered his questions one by one.

Finally, he said with some pride:

"I also participated in the construction of the dock at that time. Of course there were zombies in the lake, at least hundreds of thousands! They were all lured out and blown to death! The sound of the cannon at that time was earth-shaking."

"What are zombies? It seems you don't know how powerful the fighting team of the trade fair is!"

"Let me put it this way, when you come to the trade fair, you won't have to worry about the danger of zombies anymore!"

The construction of a water plant is very necessary. If the trading market did not have a water plant and did not bring water from Nanwan Lake, the trading market would probably have been short of water by now.

Relying solely on well water is simply not enough to meet the water needs of hundreds of thousands of people.

After hearing what Lao Mazi said,

Xu Feng and Li Da looked at each other. They didn't expect the trading market to be so cruel.

Just lure the zombies out of the lake and blow them up.

Build a dock in front of zombies.

And it’s still ten kilometers away!
This is not like before the end of the world. How many people would be needed to build such a large project?

They recalled the buffer city construction site they saw when they first entered the city in the afternoon, which was a much larger project.

Putting it this way, it seems to make sense.

Is this the trading market?

It's so terrifying!
He looked at Lao Mazi and Wang Fang with some admiration in his eyes.

After all, they were personally involved in the construction of the dock.

At the same time, I was somewhat thankful that I had come to the trading market.

Water resources that were extremely difficult for them to obtain in the past are now readily available.

Xu Feng was silent for a while, and finally gave a thumbs up and sighed:
"So strong!"

The old man looked at their expressions, smiled, and said to himself.

Little guy, this is just the beginning. When we get to the commercial district, you’ll be even more surprised.

Afterwards, they walked towards the commercial area of ​​the trading market while chatting.

After dark, the commercial district becomes even more lively and prosperous.

After a busy day, the survivors started their nightlife.

Lao Mazi and his group have now arrived at the entrance of the trading market.

The bustling crowd is filled with the atmosphere of city life.

Neon lights flicker on the hanging hardcore sign.

The sounds of hawking along the street are endless.

People of all kinds were walking and shopping on the main street of the commercial district.

"Big iron pot, a newly forged big iron pot, special price today, you can take it away for 0.99 points, you won't lose anything if you buy it, you won't be cheated."

"Second-hand Martin boots, wrapped in leather, very useful for kicking people and zombies. Zombies can't bite them, which means you have an extra life."

"Phoenix brand bicycles don't require oil or electricity, and only consume 0.5 tortillas for every kilometers. They are super easy to use, worry-free and convenient, allowing you to escape the zombies without using your legs."
