"Okay, everyone has finished the inspection and is fully qualified. Please settle some related expenses. The inspection fee is 36 catties of rice, the parking fee and the safe are 41 catties of rice, and the total is [-] catties of rice. You pay with rice , or use other food to offset it?" A girl smiled and took out an electronic scale and put it on the table, her movements were extremely quick, her expression was extremely professional, and everyone who watched was stunned, as if she had entered a state-owned supply and marketing cooperative. a feeling of.net

Lin Tao waved Cao Mei to come up and pay the fee. Cao Mei was too lazy to go to the car to get rice, so she threw a bunch of ham sausages over and it was settled. Then Lin Tao stepped forward and asked, "Girl, I want to ask, do you How is the food exchange defined here? Are there any specific rules?"

"There are a total of four places in the city with public notice boards, all of which are written, and if you think it is troublesome to exchange things, you can go directly to the public grain station in the city to exchange food for food stamps. You only receive one hundred catties of rice. With a handling fee of two meters, it is very convenient to buy things with food stamps!"

The girl smiled and put away Lin Tao's supplies, but she was secretly surprised at how generous these people were, so she kindly reminded: "Everyone of you can get free from the grain station every day with your ID card." Two liters of clean water, but the water must be boiled before drinking, and some people have turned into living corpses because of drinking raw water before!"

"Do you have a water source here?" Lin Tao was taken aback, and asked quickly, this is a major issue related to the survival of all of them. [

"Yes, we have a total of eight wells here, but only four wells have water, but these wells are guarded, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach them. The leaders of the city organize people to transport them to the grain station and distribute them one by one. , After all, we are also short of water here!" The girl said with a smile.

"Ha, it's good to have water. It's better than drinking toner when I'm thirsty!" Zhang Xu said happily.

"Okay, everyone, we will have a meeting later, I hope the studio can bring you more surprises!" Meizi stepped forward and looked at the crowd with a smile. She was about to see off the guests, but she still said kindly: "One last reminder Everyone, never look at this city with old eyes, the rules of survival in the last days are also applicable here!"

"Well! Thank you!" Lin Tao nodded politely, feeling that Meizi's last words were good words, the end of the world is the end of the world, as long as the living corpses are not destroyed, the law of the end of the world will never disappear among human beings!

……

After coming out of the registration office, Lin Tao and his party returned to the parking lot. With the enthusiastic help of Captain Yao, they unloaded all the food and daily necessities into several supermarket cars. At this time, Bai Ru walked to Lin Tao in a car. Beside him, he said worriedly: "Husband, we had a lot of food stolen on the way, and we walked away from the gathering place in a hurry, so we didn't bring a lot of winter clothes. It's okay during the day now. If we are outdoors at night, everyone I can't take it anymore!"

"It doesn't matter, there must be places that sell clothes in this city. As for food, Zhang Xu and I will go out again in a few days, and try to get some more!" Lin Tao smiled, and turned to Yao who was still busy. The captain said: "Captain Yao, don't bother you, we can just go in by ourselves, and when we find a place to stay, come and have a drink together at night!"

"Okay, there are still a lot of empty houses in the city. You can live in them as long as you give them some food! I have to go back to work. If you have anything to do, you can come here to find me again, or you can go to my house. I will live in my house. It's on the 26th in the east of the city!" Captain Yao waved his hand as he spoke, then refused several times and then smiled and accepted the two packs of cigarettes that Cao Mei handed over, and then happily went back with his Bayi bar on his back.

"Brother Lin, look at this place, it's so fucking different!" Zhang Xu blinked his eyes and looked around, and said with a sigh of relief: "Compared with this place, our original gathering place is really the best of the bunch. Not only is the scale small, but even the management methods are so backward, it is simply the difference between a bandit and a regular army, alas~ Even if I really have to be a law-abiding citizen here, I am willing!"

"How many people are there in Jiangcheng? Of course, it can't be compared with this place. There must be professional city management talents here, but it is really not easy to achieve this step in the last days!" Lin Tao also looked around with emotion, and then Looking at the women around, everyone has beautiful longings on their faces, hoping that this quaint city can become a safe haven for them to settle down!

The gate of the Wengcheng was opened diagonally from the gate. It was said that it was to restore the reality. The ancient big cities were built in this way. Lin Tao and his team drove to the gate of the Wengcheng in a mighty manner. Before the medical examination report entered the city, a girl with big watery eyes immediately leaned up from inside, scanned the crowd, ran to the leader Lin Tao, nodded and bowed and said, "Good morning, brother, do you need a guide?" ?”

"Guide...tour guide?" Zhang Xu bit a piece of ham sausage, and looked at the girl in front of him very curiously. The girl was only about seventeen or eighteen years old. Although she looked sweet, she was a little emaciated. At first glance, she was caused by long-term malnutrition. Zhang Xu looked at the girl from top to bottom, and said inexplicably, "What do you need a tour guide for? We're not here to travel!"

Looking at the freshly peeled ham sausage in Zhang Xu's hand, the girl obviously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said with a smile: "Hee hee~ This handsome guy doesn't understand, our movie theater covers an area of ​​more than 2000 acres, just from It will take more than half an hour to walk from the front door to the back door. You can’t go for a stroll without someone who knows the way, right? Brother, and I’m also cheap. I can tell you everything you want to know with five ham sausages. I tell you all, and you see, I have a formal tour guide certificate, so I am the licensed tour guide of this movie theater!"

"Then how do you know we're new here?" Zhang Xu stretched his head to look at the certificate hanging around the girl's neck. It was indeed an authentic tour guide certificate, but the validity period had expired long ago, but there must be no place to reissue it now.

"Since the day when the disaster struck, I have never stepped out of the door here. I can tell who is new at a glance, and there are so many people who have come here in the past two days, but I have the best business. It's time!" The girl's big black eyes rolled around very sharply, and she asked with a naive expression: "How is it? Brothers and sisters, I will help you find a place to live first, and then I will show you around here Bar!"

"Give her five ham sausages!" Lin Tao smiled and asked Cao Mei to pass five ham sausages to the girl. I’m not as easy to talk to as you guys, the five ham sausages I agreed to end up giving me a handful of rice and I wanted to get rid of me, but luckily we have Uncle Jingcha who can uphold justice, otherwise my busy day yesterday would have been in vain!”

Lin Tao followed the girl and asked curiously, "Where do the newcomers live?"

"It's hard to say, because there is a big gap between the rich and the poor. Some of the wealthy people live in hotels, and some rent out yards. Anyway, as long as they can fancy something, they live in it. There are people living everywhere in the city, but Those poor people like me naturally went to live in the resettlement sheds on the west side of the city. There is an open space for shooting big scenes and military parades. They are all tents and shacks. As long as you can bear it, you don’t need food to live in, but usually Seven or eight people squeeze into one shack!" The girl said in detail, without any distressed look on her face, she was obviously used to it.

"It seems that you have a serious hierarchy here!" Bai Ru, who was holding Lin Tao's arm, interjected curiously. [

"Hehe~ Our country seems to have been like this since ancient times, right?" The girl asked back, and said as she walked: "Actually, our leaders and mayors here are already very good, and even paying the rent is trying to create a living for everyone. opportunities, and those who are capable and have special skills will naturally enjoy better conditions. It is inevitable for those who are not capable to be wronged. Now it is not labor that creates wealth, but ability to create wealth. We live here The best ones are those who dare to go out to find food, of course, the conditions of managers and scientific researchers in the city are also very decent!"

"This is what a real gathering place looks like. It's really well managed!" Lin Tao nodded in satisfaction. The ground and the tidy streets were shocked. He couldn't believe that he was walking in a doomsday gathering place. Even before the doomsday, the streets in Europe couldn't be as clean as this. It would be no exaggeration to describe it as spotless. Everywhere reveals a kind of cleanliness that is close to cleanliness!

"Wow, it's a jujube tree and a peach tree. There are still dates on the jujube tree!" Bingbing suddenly pointed to the two rows of trees beside the road in surprise. Picking dates, but the girl tour guide hurriedly strode forward to hold them back, and said eagerly: "You can't pick them, you can't pick them, and you will be detained if you pick dates from the public house!"

"Ah? You still need to be detained for picking a broken date? What kind of world is this?" Bingbing quickly withdrew her hand and asked with a puzzled look on her face. Even Zhang Xu was surprised.

"Of course you will be detained. If you think about it, it's all food. If you pick one and he picks another, it will take half a day. Moreover, the trees here are carefully cultivated by workers. If they are killed But they will be shot!" The little tour guide took a breath, and explained patiently: "It is difficult to see green plants outside now, either they are dead from drought or sun, so these fruit trees and the food we plant around are all They were bred by the staff of the original Academy of Agricultural Sciences. They are more careful than taking care of babies. These trees will be covered with sunscreens. We should stay away from the trees, otherwise the jng will definitely come up to question us if they spot them! "

"Have you grown food? Can you survive?" Zhang Xu asked in surprise.

"Of course I survived. When the apocalypse broke out, a group of people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences came to visit us, and they were blocked here and couldn't get out. Now they are the most valuable talents in the whole city. Only with their experience can we keep the plants alive!"

The girl tour guide said, pointing to a group of people who were slowly approaching in front of them carrying various farm tools, and said: "You see those people, they are our farmers here, but don't underestimate them. As farmers, we have to take an exam. Only one or two out of a hundred people are selected. They are all good farmers in the past. They not only have diplomas, but also have rich experience. Take good care of them!"

"Then who does the food grow? All of it belongs to the public?" Zhang Xu became more and more curious, and continued to ask, scratching his chin.

"Part of it belongs to the farmers and the people from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and the rest will be handed over to the grain station, and then the various departments will pay the civil servants in the film studio as salaries according to the workload dispatched. Oh, every three days the city will return I will send some food to the poor households!" The girl babbled, and from time to time she expressed her personal opinion: "Actually, let me tell you, our management here is not inferior to what it was before the end of the world. It’s even worse, if I can get rid of those nasty living corpses and still fill my stomach, I’d rather live here for the rest of my life than leave!”

"Oh~ this is the common wish of all of us human beings now!" Zhang Xu shook his head and sighed helplessly.

The tour guide led the crowd to continue walking. The main road of this film city was designed in the style of the former Qing Dynasty. It is full of antique Qing Dynasty buildings. However, most of these buildings have become homes now, and occasionally you can see a few Runny-nosed children are playing in front of the door. Some of them seem to be in good condition at home. You can also see some beautiful women playing mahjong "hula-la" from the open door. The whole city looks less It is quite desolate in the last days, but there is a little more tranquility and peace that is rare!

"Husband, I have been here before, and I was the one who cut it when it was completed, but now that I come here again, I really feel like I have traveled through time and space!" Bai Ru walked forward slowly with Lin Tao on her arm, slowly Looking around, he said with a smile: "You see, there is basically no electricity here, and people have started to use the most primitive tools again, and even the needlework that women are about to throw away has been picked up. Somebody is starting to weave their own cloth!"

"Yes, in the end, the things handed down by these ancestors are the most reliable. If there are no living corpses, I believe that the people here will continue to multiply steadily, and then it will be a prosperous age of human beings, and it is also very good now. People are less impetuous!" Lin Tao put his arms around Bai Ru's soft waist, and his face was full of sobs.

"Okay everyone, this Qianqing Street is about to come to an end. If you go straight, you will find the offices and food stations of various departments in the city. It was originally used for filming modern dramas, and the architectural style is mostly the same as before liberation. It’s almost the same as in Guangzhou, so we call it Guangzhou Street, and turn right, it’s the most prosperous part of our whole film city, “Hong Kong Street”, where every inch of land is expensive, teahouses, cafes, clothing stores and hotels, Even movie theaters have them, but I want to remind everyone that all electricity and food-related things are the most expensive, ten catties of rice can be exchanged for a dried abalone, two catties of rice for a cup of coffee..."

"...Oh, by the way, the "European Street" past Hong Kong Street may be the place that you guys yearn for the most. It is our red light district, where there are about five or six thousand professional women who are engaged in sex work. , Brothers will definitely be able to find the type you like the most! But here I would like to remind you that the xng workers here are all licensed to work, and there are special people to give them physical examinations every week. If you are sick, your license will be confiscated, so you must check the other party's ID before consumption. If there is no ID or the ID has expired, I advise you not to have sex with them. After all, your health is the most important thing. It will be worth the loss!"

The tour guide girl looked at the men with piercing eyes, and winked at them playfully, as if she understood men's thoughts very well. She was a little embarrassed when she saw a few men, so she immediately changed the subject and asked with a smile: "Who are you?" Brother, how do you plan our next itinerary? Should we go shopping first or find a place to stay?"

"Let's find a place to live first. It's not good for us to ostentatiously pass through the market with big bags and small bags!" Lin Tao thought for a while, and then said to the girl: "We need a bigger yard, and it would be best if it could be a courtyard house. Let's find it!"

"Well, I know a very good place. The yard is big and faces south, but the rent may be a bit expensive. It costs [-] catties of rice a month. What do you think, big brother?" The girl looked at Lin Tao and asked.

"Ah? Your rent here is too expensive, right? Do you think we live in a palace?" Bingbing immediately frowned. If the rent of a house is only calculated, fifty catties of rice a month is indeed very expensive. We must know that many adult men may not be able to earn fifty catties of rice in a month.

"Hehe~ I really told my sister that you are right. The scale of the courtyard was originally designed to be a royal residence. It has a grand facade, and not only does it have a front and back yard, but there is also a pond and gazebo behind it. Of course, the pond has long since run out of water. , it’s because of the high rent that the house is now vacant!” The girl said with a smile, and gave everyone a very surprised answer.

"Brother Lin, if it doesn't work, let's go and have a look. If we are satisfied, we can live there. If it doesn't work, we can change it again. Hehe~ I haven't lived in a palace before, let's try something new this time!" Zhang Xu rubbed his hands with a smile on his face. Hand, obviously So Bao's thoughts began to rippling back and forth again. [
