Lord of the Abyss 2

For Luo Ling, who had the grace of saving his life, Song Yizhou could be regarded as kind and righteous.On the second day after returning to the base, Song Yizhou came to Luo Ling early, and very enthusiastically volunteered to be a free tour guide for Luo Ling.

"You don't need to work?" Luo Ling's way of repaying Song Yizhou's kindness was to say a few more words.

"I'm a research assistant. To put it bluntly, I'm a follower. Of course, a follower doesn't count as anything. I'm afraid I'll have to relax for a while before my teacher finds me." Song Yizhou seemed a little listless when talking about work.

"The authorities keep it?"

"How is that possible?" Song Yizhou pursed his lips, "Nowadays there is no good thing that you can get paid without effort. Every industry is a radish and a pit. Not only do you have to do it, but you have to make achievements. Although I still have my job, the actual Come on, already unemployed!"

"Then, what are your plans?"

"Although it won't starve to death in the short term, there are still two mouths to eat at home, so I'm here to see you!" Song Yizhou grinned at Luo Ling, those two rows of teeth were shining brightly, as if they were specially used for cutting meat Luo Ling is just a fat enough sheep.

Luo Ling was slightly taken aback, then smiled softly.Compared with those hypocrites who pretend to be three ways, a real villain like Song Yizhou is really cute.He knew that Song Yizhou would give him a satisfactory explanation, so he waited quietly while walking.

Sure enough, Song Yizhou saw that Luo Ling responded well, so he immediately confirmed what he said just now, "I think you need a manager!"

Seeing that Luo Ling was noncommittal, Song Yizhou said: "When I first saw you, I was very skeptical for a while. I suspected that you were a 'magic dog'. I'm sorry!"

"Demon dog, do you mean the human traitors who turned to the devil?" Luo Ling asked.

Song Yizhou nodded, "Almost all the survivor bases in Guang'an have suffered from the magic dog, and two of them even fell completely because of the magic dog. I heard from them that the scene was a miserable one. It was when the gate of the abyss opened. , There are very few scenes of human beings being massacred in such a concentrated manner, it is simply a slaughterhouse, the blood has not even passed the human feet! Because of this, a soldier who went to the rescue had a mental breakdown."

"The internal destruction is indeed terrifying! Now, why don't you doubt it?"

"Yesterday, I asked someone to consult, and he gave some judgments. The result is basically similar to the analysis of you by the two officers of the Anshun Street Base, that is, you are more likely to be a survivor of 'Ye Luzi' .”

"There is a special person to analyze, and you can also know the content of the base chief's conversation. It seems that you have a very wide network!"

"There is such an advantage, otherwise would you dare to recommend yourself as your agent?" Song Yizhou gave a small pat.

"Judging from the allocated housing, the authorities have not let go of their guard against me."

"It's human nature, people are scared by the noise! ​​It takes a little time and a little bit of achievement, and the suspicion will naturally fade away."

"Well! This explanation is reasonable. Tell me about the benefits of having you as a manager!"

"Then let me be blunt! You are like a hunter who has lived in the mountains for a long time. Your hunting ability is very strong, but in terms of negotiation and communication, I think that with your 'sincere', you may be deceived. Moreover, It is often slaughtered. Our harvest is also bought with blood and sweat. Why do you take advantage of others? Don’t you think so? And I have an advantage in this aspect, so the first advantage is that I won’t be slaughtered, a good thing It can fetch a good price.”

Luo Ling nodded.

Seeing Luo Ling's approval, Song Yizhou's spirit became stronger, "The second thing is, the starting point is because you are more 'simple'. Compared with two years ago, the current social system and various social phenomena have changed drastically. You rush in without knowing why, and even feel that you have nowhere to start. With me, you will not have such embarrassment. You can quickly adapt to this society and avoid detours. This is no better than crossing the river by yourself. Is it much stronger?"

Luo Ling nodded again.

Song Yizhou continued with a smile on his face: "Third, in this strange city, when it comes to acquaintances, I should be the first! Besides, you are my savior, so I can't repay the favor because of the situation and reason, right? Who is more trustworthy than me? Of course, I can't just stick to it, we can talk about performance, and one day I get used to life here, and if I feel unqualified as an agent, I can change it!"

"Okay! There are good reasons! You will be my agent from now on!"

"Okay! Although we don't need to sign any contract, I have something to say first. In certain matters, you have to listen to my arrangements, and you can't be impulsive. In addition, you are not allowed to use violence against me!"

Luo Ling laughed, "Do you think I have a tendency to abuse people?"

"It's said that you went berserk in the infirmary, and my small body can't stand your control." Song Yizhou said with 'grievous resentment'.

"Okay, I promise, I won't use violence against you!"

"Ok!"

Following Song Yizhou, the two turned seven times and eight times, and came out of an alley, Luo Ling felt that his eyes suddenly opened up.

This is a pedestrian street that can't be seen at a glance. The road is ten meters wide, and there are rows of shops along the road. People are dazzled by all kinds of neon signs. Don't give in too much.

Song Yizhou said with some pride: "I'm a little dumbfounded! Human beings did not return to the stone age of bartering because of the complete fall of the surface, but embarked on a city-state development path. Take the Anshun Street Base as an example. , with a population of more than 12000. Now, underground breeding farms, underground planting sheds, and various underground industries have blossomed and fruited, and have begun to provide guarantees for the survival of survivors. I heard that there are underground cities with a population of over one million! It’s amazing to think about it, the combined population of all the survivor bases in Guanganyu seems to be no more than 40.”

"I really didn't expect it, I didn't expect people's adaptability to be so good, it's so lively here!"

Song Yizhou said again: "It's not all about adaptability! Today is a trading day, similar to the old market, there are mobile shops selling various materials in several places. There are not many people who have time to go shopping like this on weekdays. Running around for a living."

"Oh!" The current survivor base is just like the remote village in the old days. It is not surprising that this kind of market-like trading method was born.

"Let's go! Talk while walking." Accompanied by Luo Ling, Song Yizhou talked eloquently, "The survivors are like a large nest of rats, some of them are connected with each other, some are not, and some In the process of integration, some are working alone, some are playing politics, some are playing with constitutional monarchy, some are typical feudal systems, and some are naked like the king of the mountain... So when it comes to social forms, it cannot be said to be retrogressive. It can only be said that it is colorful and a hundred schools of thought contend!"

"The size of the number of survivors is much larger than I thought."

"Well, in theory, human beings rush to battle and lose again and again, coupled with the lack of various means of living, if not killed, they will starve to death. There is nothing unreasonable in this reasoning. The only thing that is not considered is that the countries At the same time when I secretly studied the application of magic, I was actually prepared for it, and many experts had already anticipated the irreversible disaster, so they made quite sufficient preparations."

"Furthermore, the research on magic application is not in vain, just look at all aspects of magic application now. This is also one of the main factors for the survivors to quickly restore their life order."

"Thirdly, the gates of the abyss all over the world are not opened on the same day. Although human beings are retreating steadily, it still took 41 days from the start of the war to the complete fall of the surface, and in some places it was even longer. This gives the vision People who are long-term enough have enough time to plan for the future of survival."

"For example, here, at the Anshun Street Base, the military and political officers of the base, Lin Xiang and Ma Lulu, were originally a representative of the municipal government, and the other was a soldier. The two of them saw the strategic advantages of the underground civil air defense fortifications in this street, and went all out. , actively planned, and started to operate very early, which led to the later Anshun Street Base. It is basically independent and self-made, and most of the survivors taken in are refugees with almost nothing at the end of the war. Compared with other bases, the base is weaker. Maybe it's because they are all poor enough, but everyone's centripetal force and unity are better than other bases..."

Song Yizhou's explanation gave Luo Ling a considerable understanding of the current situation. While he was thankful for the survivors, he also sighed secretly. From a certain perspective, for the people, the world seems to never change much. A good or bad ruler...

Looking up inadvertently, what Luo Ling saw from the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the shop was a young girl who was wearing pitiful translucent underwear and showing off her head!Taking a quick glance, there are so many windows like this on both sides of the street, and the girls inside are bold and exposed, trying their best to seduce, even the streets of Amsterdam, which was the most sexually open back then, are still inferior.

Song Yizhou on the side introduced: "This section is called Camouflage Alley, but people are used to calling it 'Selling Alley'. They are all these things. As long as you have money, you can play however you want. This is a legal business and will never be cracked down on pornography! "

Seeing Luo Ling's expression, Song Yizhou had already guessed his general thoughts, "Do you feel depraved?"

Luo Ling curled his lips as an admission.

"There is a legal human trading market in front of it, with a fairly complete system, systems, and regulations. To put it bluntly, it is a slave market."

"..."

Song Yizhou explained: "Now, agriculture, industry, etc. are recovering in an all-round way. Although the living supplies are not abundant, it is true that people will not starve to death. However, this is in terms of total value."

Sighing, Song Yizhou continued: "People are forgetful. Now it is no longer the same as the beginning of the collective suffering, and it is no longer the same as the unity of the people and helping each other in the same boat. As time goes by, the physical and spiritual wounds are gradually smoothed or numb. , At the same time, the living gap caused by various factors is also reflected."

"Do you think there is real equality in this world?" Song Yizhou suddenly asked Luo Ling.

Luo Ling thought about it seriously, then shook his head.

"I don't think so either!" Song Yi pursed his lips again, and said, "The most basic thing is that people have different circumstances and abilities. Even if they stand on the same starting line, there will be gaps gradually. Finally, everyone who was poor and white at the beginning is now , some are rich, some are stable, some are still struggling on the poverty line, and some are still unable to survive..."

Pointing to the ones in the window, and then pointing to the front, Song Yizhou said with a stern expression: "The ones here, as well as those in the slave market, they don't want to enjoy, what they want is to live! Survival, this is really It is a very serious problem. Women, children, these vulnerable groups were the objects that men used their lives to protect, but now they are almost abandoned. Why? Except for their families, who really cares about their lives? In those In a fierce battle, the word 'protect' is often equivalent to exchanging one's own life for the lives of family members!"

"The war caused many men to die, and this loss is still continuing. Do you know the ratio of men to women in Guang'an? 1:4, a very terrifying figure! Irreparable weakness is irreparable. In this era of hunting and foraging, when everyone has to choose to return to animal nature in order to survive, in general, women are not comparable to men. There is not enough industrial placement in the base What else can they do besides clinging to the powerful and catering to the powerful?"

After a long time, Luo Ling said: "Nothing is more important than survival!" This sentence is not only his sympathy for the disadvantaged, but also his own feelings. His own rough experience back then was to explain this truth with blood and tears.

Song Yizhou took over the conversation and said: "So, instead of using nobleness as respect, it's better to greet their business. They are also exchanging labor for a chance to survive. Or, if you have the ability, go to the slave market to buy two and use them back. It is a good deed. If there is a way, who is willing to practice themselves? The current years are the most difficult, get over it, I believe it will get better!"

After some conversation, Luo Ling's impression of Song Yizhou changed a lot. Even if he is a villain, he is also a villain with a bit of conscience.

"Where are we going now?"

"bar!"

"Bar?" Luo Ling couldn't help but want to take back his previous evaluation.

"Yes! Only bars provide single rooms. The first step is to conduct asset appraisal. At the same time, you need to understand some rules and market conditions in order to make reasonable investment and consumption."
