Plane Supermarket

Chapter 174

In the early morning, the sun had just risen, and the people in the base came out of the house one after another. This was a rare time of the day for them to go out for activities, but even so, they did not dare to go far, and could only walk around.

People in the slums are not so leisurely. They have been busy all night, and now is the time to deal with "dirty".

The barely strong man dragged the unusable "commodity" out of the base, dug a hole at random, and the "commodity"'s hand was still exposed, and he left without looking back.

Inside the tin house, a young boy got up from the ground, his hair was messy, and his clothes couldn't cover his whole body.

His face was covered in black dust, no one could see his face clearly, but the first thing he did when he got up was not to wipe his face, but to put another layer of dust on his face. There is no mirror here, so he can only Try your best to smear all over your face without revealing an inch of clean skin.

The boy pushed open the crumbling wooden door of the iron house, bent over cautiously, trying not to be noticed by anyone.

The people who were in a hurry did not pay attention to this little bastard who was so thin as a bone and with a dirty face on his face. They were busy cleaning up the "gold selling cave" for this night.

The goods that were released from the cage yesterday were locked back again. The boy walked past the cage, but he didn't even look at the goods in the cage, and the goods didn't look at him. There were footsteps in his ears, but it seemed to be quiet. Quietly.

It was so quiet that I could hear the breathing of others.

The boy walked into a small room, his hands clenched into fists, and he stood on tiptoes and raised his hands until he came to the cabinet, and then spread his palms.

He had a broken watch in his hand, the outer glass cover had cracks like spider webs, but the hands inside were still turning tenaciously.

The man sitting behind the counter took the watch from him, looked at it carefully, and without asking where the watch came from, he picked up a water bottle from under the counter expressionlessly, the boy's eyes brightened a lot, and he didn't even blink. Stare at the water bottle without blinking.

As usual, the man unscrewed the bottle cap, poured a bottle of water, and handed it to the boy impatiently.

The boy drank it in one gulp without hesitation, returned the bottle cap and went out.

After solving the water, he also needs to solve the food.

He went to another room. This time he had nothing to exchange. As soon as he entered the room, someone gave him a wooden box, which contained milky white paste. He didn't need anyone to tell him. The boy walked out of the room with ease. , walked to the side of the cage.

After dipping his hands in the ointment, the boy passed his arm through the gap in the iron cage, and applied the ointment to the "cargo"'s wound.

Only a child his age could put his hand through such a thin gap.

The owners of these "goods" never released them during the day.

I let it go before, but two of them ran away. Although I knew that those two would die if they ran out, the owner felt that he was at a loss, so he never let it go. He would rather the goods die under his nose than let them die in the Where he can't see.

When the boy was applying medicine to the sixth shipment, he was suddenly grabbed by the wrist by a skeleton-like hand.

"Kill me..." "Cargo" stared at him with blank eyes, "Kill me..."

The boy withdrew his hand expressionlessly. The other party had no strength for a long time, and he could pull it back with a light twitch.

Even though the boy pulled his hand away, "Cargo" kept murmuring until the voice became smaller and smaller.

When the work was done, the boy went back to the house, and this time he got a potato the size of a child's fist.

It was raw, but the boy had no choice. He wiped the potatoes on his clothes without peeling them. There was still dirt on the potatoes, and he just brought them to his mouth and ate them voraciously.

Just as the boy was about to leave the house, there was a sudden commotion in the base.

Someone was shouting, someone was cheering, and the sound was deafening in the quiet base at this time.

The boy lowered his head, he was not curious about what happened, but he still subconsciously looked towards the exit of the base.

The slums are located at the outermost edge of the base, closest to the exit. Once danger comes, the slums are the first line of human defense.

The boy remembered that such a thing had happened before. The managers of the slums released the "goods" at the first time, and those who thought they were finally free and no longer tormented ran out to block the intruders. , Use your life to buy time for the people behind you.

Living in such an environment, he lost all sympathy and empathy, and the only three words to survive became his obsession.

The boy watched the car that only the boss of the base could sit in slowly drive out, he could only see a figure, but this did not prevent his dark eyes from staring at the person in the car.

Only by sitting in that seat can he live.

Live as a person.

Otherwise, he is no different from those goods, and he will be slaughtered forever, and the "cargo" is locked in a cage, but this base is not a cage, and people like them who are not shackled are locked up.

The boy watched intently as the car and convoy rolled out of the base.

"What are you looking at?" A woman with a piece of rag staggered out of the alley. She rubbed her messy hair and took out a piece of chewing gum from her chest that she had chewed countless times. After putting it into her mouth, she laughed and said, "Have you earned enough to eat?"

The boy nodded, and the woman squatted down. Her neck and arms were covered with bruises, but she didn't seem to feel these injuries. Her limbs were thin, and her outstretched arms seemed to be covered with a layer of skin. She touched the boy's head: "Did you gain something last night?"

"Here's yours." The boy said warily.

The woman stood up again, and she hammered her waist: "I'm not asking you for something."

She squinted her eyes, suddenly thought of something, and said in a flat tone: "It's not like being alive like this."

"But we don't want to die." The woman looked down at the brat, and suddenly asked, "Why don't you move in with me, Zhang Meng has been dead for two years, you recognize me as your mother, and let's be a family .”

The boy didn't speak, he just shook his head.

The woman didn't force it either, she didn't speak any more, but staggered back to "home".

She used to be covered by someone, so she didn't become a commodity, and because she had a pretty face, she had a small room of her own. She was one of the lucky ones in the slums, but she was only lucky in the slums. .

The boy didn't look at the woman anymore, he felt thirsty again, and even a single potato couldn't fill his stomach, so he continued to bend down, looking for work he could do.

He didn't want to be buried in the yellow sand before he had time to grow up like those people.

·

Everyone was fully armed. In order to deter the opponent, Ye Zhou spent a huge sum of money to buy a full set of exoskeleton equipment.

Although heavy, the outfit, complete with a helmet, not only stops bullets but also allows a single punch to shatter a grown man's skull.

And it is very handsome, with a pitch-black appearance that glows with the light that metal should have. Although it is hot when wrapped in an exoskeleton, it is acceptable as long as you wear an adjustment suit inside.

Ye Zhou also wore a suit himself. When he walked around, he felt like he was stepping on clouds. There was no real feeling under his feet, but he was extraordinarily stable.

"Someone is here." Chen Shu who was standing at the door turned his head and shouted to the people inside.

Ye Zhou, who was adjusting the exoskeleton, stood up. He chose a light exoskeleton. Only the chest and abdomen were completely covered, and the forearms and legs were wrapped by the exoskeleton, which made it easier to move. Even if he was injured, it would not be fatal.

With Zhou Yuanhe and the first aid equipment he bought last night, Ye Zhou was not worried about the danger of his life except that he might be in pain when he was hit by a bullet.

Seeing that Ye Zhou seemed to want to go out, Chen Shu quickly said, "I'll go out first."

"The boss has to come out last." Chen Shu whispered beside Ye Zhou, "Otherwise they won't take you seriously."

No one under his command will go out to deal with them in person.

Ye Zhou: "Then be careful."

Chen Shu said with a smile: "I will not leave the protection range of the protective cover."

Chen Shu walked out of the supermarket. Ye Zhou agreed to let her go out first because Chen Shu is the most intimidating person in the supermarket. She has a strong military temperament. Besides, she has lived in different planes for many years Hard work, and a little more of the fearlessness of a desperado.

If Ye Zhou pointed a gun at someone, 80.00% of the people would not believe that Ye Zhou dared to shoot.

But if it was Chen Shu, no one would doubt whether she dared to shoot.

As soon as Chen Shu went out, he saw a lot of cars at the entrance of the supermarket. The sun didn't hurt people inside the protective cover, and the temperature was also suitable. It seems that this place is the only place suitable for human survival in this land.

She held the helmet with one hand and walked to a distance of one meter from the edge of the shield.

The dark crowd was right in front of her, with a pair of vicious eyes staring at her. Not only did Chen Shu not feel nervous or afraid, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he asked in a relaxed tone, "Where is your boss? Where is it?"

A man jumped off the roof of the car, and he walked up to Chen Shu with a rebellious face, and said in a rough voice, "here."

Chen Shu knew what the boss here looked like. Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, Zou Ming had told her about it.

So she scanned the crowd and landed on a man sitting in the front of the car: "Zhao Qing?"

Zhao Qing's face changed, from watching a play to serious, he stood up and straightened his collar.

He hadn't heard his name from anyone for many years.

Everyone called him Boss, occasionally with the word Zhao, but no one dared to call him by his real name.

He was suddenly called out by his full name, and he was at a loss for a moment - so he was called by this name.

"How do you know my name?" Zhao Qing walked in front of Chen Shu, he roughly pushed away the subordinate who had just "pretended" him, put his arms around his chest, raised his chin, and wanted to look at Chen Shu "condescendingly".

result--

Chen Shu is too tall, no matter what posture he makes, he has to look up at Chen Shu.

Zhao Qing's complexion turned pale. He hadn't looked up at others for many years. Those who were taller than him had to bend down and lower their heads in front of him. He could look down on anyone, not because of his height, but because of his height. his status.

It's just that the woman in front of her doesn't care about his status.

Chen Shu did not answer Zhao Qing's question directly, but asked instead: "Boss Zhao must be short of a lot of things now, right? Water? Food? Fabric clothes? Salt? Condiments?"

Chen Shu observed Zhao Qing's expression while speaking.

But she didn't see anything, Zhao Qing had no expression on his face, nor any body movements.

So Chen Shu didn't try again, she said: "We have all these things."

"Now it depends on whether you want to make a deal with us. Both are good. Or don't make a deal and fight directly."

Chen Shu knew exactly what Ye Zhou wanted.

Ye Zhou wanted to walk into Zhao Qing's base instead of firing directly at Zhao Qing's base.

In this case, they can't tear themselves apart with Zhao Qing. Zhao Qing must understand that keeping them and cooperating with them is much more beneficial than going to war with them.

Zhao Qing: "Then you have to tell me first what this wall is."

"And what are you wearing?"

At this age, Zhao Qing is not a fool. He can see that the other party doesn't want to fight him. Although he doesn't know why, he subconsciously thinks that the other party is afraid of his fighting power, or that he really wants to do business with them. .

He knew that the other party would not start a war with him, so he came here in person.

Chen Shu smiled: "You don't need to know, you just need to know that I can crush your skull with my open hand now."

Zhao Qing's expression remained unchanged, making it impossible to tell whether he believed it or not, but he quickly said, "How can you ensure the safety of the things you provide?"

Poisoning has not never happened between bases.

Large base and small base for silkworms, this is the tacit understanding of everyone.

The only way for the small base to survive is to be merged into the big base, and then graze and milk like cows, even worse than cows, because what they eat is sand instead of grass.

But it's not like no small base has resisted. If they can't fight head-on, and can't fight resource consumption, then they will poison them.

It is not without success that the small base has been successful. The only large base with a well in this area is occupied by the small base after the successful poisoning.

Of the 2 people in the large base, there were less than 2000 people left overnight, most of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled who could not afford weapons.

The advance of the small base was not hindered at all.

When Zhao Qing learned about this incident, he was as shocked as all the leaders of the big bases, but soon he realized that the small base he encroached on did not poison them, not because the people in the small base were all good people, It's their inability to find huge quantities of poison.

It's their luck, not the other party's bullying.

And it is not difficult for the other party to poison them. Most of the large bases are arrogant. They have guns and some have resources. They will not pay attention to small bases that do not even have weapons. The base is a dog that can be whipped at any time, how could it bite back?

So Zhao Qing reacted quickly, and he took people to attack all the small bases that belonged to him.

The young women were brought back to the base, and the young men were killed on the spot. As for the old, weak, sick and disabled, they would stay in the small base. Anyway, after they took the supplies and food away, this group of people would die of thirst soon.

Looking at the strange woman in front of him, Zhao Qing calmly waited for her answer.

But Chen Shu was not led by the nose by Zhao Qing. She sneered and said, "Boss Zhao, just because I call you boss doesn't mean I'm your subordinate. We are only responsible for providing goods. This is your business."

"You don't have to believe me, or you don't have to make a deal with us, it's up to you to choose."

Chen Shu: "You guys can have a good discussion, and let me come out after you discuss the results."

After finishing speaking, Chen Shu didn't give Zhao Qing any time to respond. Wearing an exoskeleton, Chen Shu walked up the steps and walked into the door with ease.

It was the first time that Zhao Qing, who was left on the spot like this, didn't recover for a few seconds. He didn't kick the yellow sand on the ground until the glass door closed in front of his eyes.

"Boss." Zhao Qing's left and right hands surrounded him, and the three of them stood at the front.

The man with a mole on the tip of his nose lowered his head and said, "Boss, I think it can be changed."

Another person also said: "Now we can't figure out their details, and we are really short of supplies."

Zhao Qing didn't say a word.

The left and right hands looked at each other, they did not choose to persuade, but quietly waited for Zhao Qing to make a decision.

I don't know how long it took before Zhao Qing pursed his lips and said, "Something is wrong."

Zhao Qing paced slowly, no one dared to disturb him, he walked for more than ten minutes before returning to the seat just now.

"Why do they want to do business with us?" Zhao Qing asked.

"We are short of what they can sell, and they are short of what we can sell." Mo Zinan said.

Zhao Qing gave him a slap on the head: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Mo Zinan shut up, Zhao Qing: "They have water and food, and even cloth and salt, what can we offer?"

They simply don't have enough "goods" to exchange these things, and there aren't even many people now.

It is impossible to make do with crooked melons and dates in exchange for these things, not to mention that even the women in this place are so tall, it can be seen that they have never been hungry since childhood.

"We have what they want." Zhao Qing finally figured it out.

The other two looked confused, isn't this the same as what the man said before?

Zhao Qing was a little annoyed by these two idiots. In order to consolidate his power, he selected idiots who only cared about violent invasion and maintaining stability. But sometimes, he also wanted to pry open their skulls to see if they had any brains. .

"The transaction is a cover." Zhao Qing said, "What they want is someone or a certain item in our base."

"But they know that we won't give it, or they only know that there is such a thing, but they don't know what it is."

Zhao Qing looked at the two of them, both of them looked dumbfounded.

"Boss, shall we agree?"

Zhao Qing took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a deep breath: "Yes, why not?"

"As long as that thing is in our hands, they have to keep bowing to us."

Zhao Qing smiled: "Of course we want things, and then bring a few people to test for drugs."

"As for the payment..."

Zhao Qing spit out a smoke ring: "If we don't give it, what can they do?"

After Zhao Qing finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows and looked at his two subordinates.

After talking for so long, the two subordinates still had two dumb faces.

Zhao Qing turned his head, wishing he could kick them both to death.

He looked at the supermarket not far away, and subconsciously licked his back molars.
