Chapter 302: Go in or Not?
"Say it." Mr. Wang clasped his hands on his chest and looked at the toothless man in front of him.
The toothless man lowered his head and patted the soda biscuits he had just put away again.
Seeing Mr. Wang looking at him, the man grinned, and the missing teeth in his mouth looked even more obvious.
Then he said: "We call this place Safe City.
However, the irony is that there were originally tens of thousands of people here, but during the last zombie wave, they were breached and many people died. Now it is estimated that there are only a few thousand people. "
The man with missing teeth seemed to have recalled some horrific memory, with a look of horror in his eyes.
After a while, he said with some sadness:
"There may not be thousands of people, because sometimes, some people often come out of it. This place is like a safe house. Your safety will be guaranteed after you enter.
But you have to pay a certain amount of food. Once your food is exhausted, you have to go out to find food and then pay part of it to continue living in it. "
Mr. Wang looked at the man with missing teeth and said quietly: "Is this why you came out?"
The toothless man smiled and said: "Yes, I ran out of food before and went out to look for it, but I never went back in. This place is like a vampire city."
It seemed that the topic had gone too far. The man with missing teeth brought the topic back and said with a smile to himself: "
Speaking of which, the relationship in this place is quite complicated, and the personnel structure is quite chaotic. There are several relatively large forces in it now:
Let’s talk about the first force first, mainly the people in the previous army. They have the smallest number and the strongest strength. The leader is called Wu Jianguo.
The second force is the local snakes who were here before, with the largest number of people.
The third force is a group of people led by a business owner.
The fourth force is similar to a small internal alliance. They are ordinary people from various places and are the weakest.
Mainly these four forces. At present, the control of the entire base is in the hands of the troops, but now that the apocalypse has broken out for so long, they now have limited weapons and bullets.
What's more, several other powers also have some weapons, so the relationship between them is a bit delicate now. "
After hearing this, Mr. Wang probably felt that there was some trouble here. Looking at the gate of the base in front, some vehicles were entering inside, but they were all intercepted without exception.
There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom.
If you want to go in, you will definitely have to peel off a layer of skin.
It's just that if you don't go in, it's more dangerous to be alone outside.
There were hundreds of people surrounding the city called Safety City. They were in ragged clothes, with sallow complexions and skinny muscles. They wanted to go in, but they were not qualified to do so.
There is only one qualification to enter: pay a certain amount of food.
But how can ordinary people be willing to pay the small amount of food? But if they don't go in, these people outside will face the danger of zombies at any time.
So they had to choose to get closer and live around this safe city. At least if there were zombies coming, the safe city would still resist for a while.
The people in Safe City were happy to see these people around the wall. If zombies came, they would be the first layer of protection.
All along, there have been some people who have tried to sneak into the safe city under the cover of night. Some people have succeeded, but many people have failed. According to their leaders' opinions, just let them leave on their own.
However, the executioners below had to expend energy to drive away these intruders every time they encountered them, once, twice or three times. They were so annoying that in the end they were so impatient that they once beat someone to death.
Since then, the number of people sneaking in has suddenly decreased.
Why do you have to go in?
In the apocalypse, if you encounter a zombie wave, there is a high probability that a person will not survive and live outside. If you are alone, you will not dare to sleep because you don’t know what will happen next second and when the zombies will appear.
However, food is the most important basic need of human beings.
In Maslow's need theory, physiological needs: food, air, and water are the most important needs at the lowest level of human beings.
Apart from these, there are safety needs, which include stability, safety, protection, order, freedom from fear and anxiety, etc.
Safety and food, of course food is more important.
Just like what the toothless man said, this city is like a blood-sucking city, constantly sucking the food in the hands of the survivors.
The survivors continued to search for supplies outside, and then paid a large portion to this place in exchange for the opportunity to live in it.
This is a multiple-choice question. No one forces you to enter this safe city, but if you want to enter, you must pay a "protection fee."
But if you don't go in and are alone outside, facing the dangers of zombies and people, sometimes even if you have supplies, you still don't know how to die in the end.
In the safe city, the least that can be done is that your personal safety can be guaranteed inside. There are specialized personnel who will patrol and control to ensure your safety and the supplies you have inside - provided that you have to pay a certain amount first. Quantity of food goes up.
Just as Mr. Wang was debating whether to go in or not, the toothless man next to him smiled and said, "Boss, I'll give you another secret message. Just give me two more biscuits."
Mr. Wang's heart moved, stamped his feet, and tightened his clothes. It was too cold outside. He looked at the man and said, "You speak first."
The toothless man smiled and said, "Boss, give me one first. After listening, you can decide whether to give me another one."
Mr. Wang's curiosity was aroused by the toothless man. He pretended to be reluctant. He still took out the bag of soda biscuits, took out a piece and handed it to the toothless man, saying, "Hurry up and speak!"
The toothless man took the biscuit, swallowed his saliva, put it away, approached Mr. Wang, and whispered in his ear:
"There is a place inside, pink peach blossoms. Only two biscuits can make you feel refreshed. Eighteen martial arts, really more than Dongguan back then"
Mr. Wang's eyes widened. That's it?
Then he stretched out his hands: "Give it back to me!"
The toothless man didn't quite understand. He clearly told him such a meaningful news, but he actually felt it was useless.
So he looked at Mr. Wang with a weird look, as if thinking about something.
Mr. Wang felt humiliated by this look and tried to snatch the biscuits back.
The toothless man ran away.
Mr. Wang did not chase him. He had already considered the problem of food after escaping from the Paradise. He hid his car in a hidden place one kilometer away.
But now there is a question in front of him: this safe city? Should I enter or not?
