Chapter 712 Inside the Shelter
Accompanied by the guards, Wei Fei entered the shelter without thinking about other things at all, the first thing was to look for Dai Zong.
The guard told him: "Our priority here is to find the person in charge of the area. The shelter is divided into four areas, which are managed by four heads. The person in charge has a list of survivors in each area, and the corresponding person can be found by calling out the names. You don’t have to wander around by yourself. But the person in charge has a lot of things to do, so he may not be willing to help. Do you have any other materials on hand? If someone in charge can appreciate it, there is a high chance of helping.”
"I don't have anything good on me." Wei Fei opened the shoulder bag he carried with him. There were only some napkins, a little candy and other sundries in it, and he was a little worried. "Why don't you go back and find the friend who came with me? Less good stuff."
The guard took a closer look and said to him, "Follow me to the west and north districts first, and if I really can't, go back and find your friend."
"Thank you!" Wei Fei nodded hastily. On his territory, he could only listen to them.
On the other side, Qin Shou didn't appear to be in such a hurry, and watched curiously along the way as he followed to the offices of the people in charge of the eastern and southern districts.
The guards here also told him that it is more convenient to find the person in charge to do things, but they need to send some gifts, otherwise they may not respond.
Qin Shou didn't care, and told the other party not to worry, he still had some canned food, and secretly handed one to the guard by the way.
After getting the can, the accompanying guards smiled and looked around carefully to make sure that no one found it and quickly hid it. They were very polite to Qin Shou: "Thank you, buddy! I will speak nice words to the person in charge later, and I will help you find him!"
"Thank you!" Qin Shou turned his gaze to the place where the survivors gathered in front of him. Among the messy tents, there were hundreds of thousands of people like a market, and it was very lively.He was curious, so he asked the guard, "Dude, what are you doing over there?"
"That's our internal trading market. Everyone will use all kinds of materials they usually find when they go out to buy and sell. Now money is useless, and it's all barter."
"Can I go over and have a look?"
"The person in charge is over there, not on the way. Didn't you come to find someone?"
"Yeah! But there are two hours, enough time." Qin Shou said, "I just went over to take a look and satisfy my curiosity. You don't know, it's very difficult to encounter such a scene in the outside world, and I forgot When was the last time I went to the market?"
"No, you find someone to go out from here as soon as possible, the less chance of being discovered. If you delay for a long time, if the boss finds out, we will be punished! Now it's a risk to let you in, don't make it difficult for me." The guard whispered.
"I'll just take a look and leave soon!" Qin Shou turned around and took out another bottle of drink and passed it secretly, "Anyway, you are following me, if you find something wrong, you can take me away immediately."
"This..." The guard hesitated, looked at the juice drink in Qin Shou's hand, turned his head to look around, quickly took it and stuffed it into his clothes, "Don't stay too long, take a look and leave!"
"Don't worry buddy, I won't make it difficult for you!" Qin Shou nodded and smiled.
The two turned to the market, and Qin Shou looked left and right. Thousands of survivors gathered here, most of them set up stalls on the spot, stocking all kinds of resources they found outside, common ones were firewood, hay, and of course piles of stones. Nobody cares.There are other kinds of daily necessities everywhere, and the products in each stall are very miscellaneous and messy. Most of them just take a look at it, turn around and leave.
There are a lot of people in the places where food and drinks are sold, and everyone gathers there, haggling with the vendors, and bragging about the supplies they brought back in exchange for more food.
I even saw a lot of daily necessities for canned food that had expired for a month, but countless people rushed to exchange it.
Qin Shou shook his head as he watched, and shouted in his ears: "Grilled cockroaches, grilled cockroaches! Let's skewer grilled cockroaches! All of you are fat and fat, come quickly!"
He thought he heard it wrong, and followed the yelling, and found that hundreds of survivors surrounded a booth, and it was difficult to squeeze in.
After finally standing at a relatively high position next to it, I saw a barbecue stall. Sure enough, there were survivors, like kebabs, skewered cockroaches the size of thumbs with bamboo sticks, and grilled them on the grill. Sizzling, brush seasoning on top.
Near the stall, several people were sitting there holding bamboo sticks, grabbed countless live cockroaches from several sealed plastic boxes on the spot and strung them up.
The dense cockroaches in the plastic box crawled back and forth quickly, making Qin Shou's scalp tingle. He resisted the desire to vomit and turned to look at the accompanying guards: "So many people buy cockroaches? Can you eat them?"
"Why can't you eat it?" the guard sighed, "Although they are full of germs, it's better than starving to death. The one who is selling roasted cockroaches is a big cockroach breeder here, and he is amazing! He works part-time, and there are hundreds of people working for him in the cockroach workshop. Cockroaches have strong reproductive ability, are not demanding on things, and keep their own relatively clean. Do you know that he supports the shelter for three points by raising cockroaches? The food consumption of one of the survivors!"
"Amazing!" Qin Shou had heard and seen people who ate cockroaches before, after all, there is no way to survive in the last days.But this is the first time I have seen such a large number of cockroaches being bred and even sold as skewers.
When the guard said this, he couldn't help but said to him: "The two of our most outstanding contributors are the big cockroach breeders and the big mouse breeders. More than half of the survivors in the shelter depend on them to support them. Can you imagine how many people will survive before the end of the day?" Cockroaches and rats, which everyone hates, have now become everyone's hope for survival? For more than a year, the zombies in the city have become more and more terrifying, and the food resources that can be found are getting less and less, and most of them have expired. Dead bodies are everywhere in the depths of the city. There is no way to get close, if this continues, there will be no other food except cockroaches and mice in the future!"
The outside world is different from Qin State, Qin Shou couldn't help but sigh, fortunately he has a system, otherwise he might have fallen to this point.
Turning to the other side, there are many women and children standing in one place. There is a sign next to each of them, with the names of food, cosmetics, and various miscellaneous daily necessities crookedly written on it. Everyone's eyes are very gray. There is no hope.
The guard followed his gaze and said after seeing it: "Those are women and children who have no labor force and can't go out to search for supplies. They can only sell themselves in exchange for living resources. Everyone is very cheap, but most of them even own themselves. I can’t support them, and I don’t want to have an extra burden. Except for a few lucky survivors who are taken away by a little richer survivors, the rest are waiting to starve to death anyway. A group will be eliminated every month, and they can’t help if they want to. This is survival of the fittest!"
