My Doomsday Territory - 54

Li Xiuming, college classmate.

The two have a good relationship. After all, they have passed the night together, hanged on the department, and ate chicken. They can be called the “three irons” of friendship.

However, Tang Yu almost didn’t recognize it. In the memory, Xiao Ming was a very gentle person, and his hair was much longer than it is now, but right now, the whole person gave him a clean and tidy feeling.

It was as if the two hadn’t seen each other for years.

But in fact, not long before the end of the world broke out, the two of them had met at school, and they had only experienced the life and death of the end of the world, and it suddenly seemed like spring and autumn. Seeing the familiar face again, Tang Yu couldn’t help but recall the campus full of youth and books before the end of the world.

“Walk around and look at you. You just came to Lindong. I’ll pick you up.”

Li Xiuming saw Tang Yu holding an introductory guide given by the guide, and he couldn’t help but drag Tang Yu into a restaurant on the street.

This main road, on both sides, has a few shops, not too many, and quite complete.

Restaurants, clothing stores, daily necessities stores, bars, etc., existed before the end of the world, and now also exist, so you can see the prosperity of Lindong.

There are also some shops that are more apocalyptic, such as shops selling homemade guns, shops selling demonized beast materials, and pre-apocalyptic martial arts masters who have opened martial arts centers in shelters. It is said that the business is very hot.

…………

The two chose a position by the window, and Li Xiuming handed the menu to Tang Yu, “Come on, Tang, look at this menu, you can’t eat it outside, don’t be polite to me.”

Tang Yu turned out to look at the menu. They were some very common home-cooked dishes before the end of the world, such as braised eggplant, spicy potato shreds, homemade tofu, etc. This is indeed a luxury in the end of the world, and many small shelters simply eat it. Without such dishes, only Lindong County has a complete variety of ingredients to afford so many common dishes.

Of course, the price is not cheap. Tang Yu pointed out a few at random, and the waiter on the side calculated a little, and said, “Twenty yuan in total, thank you.”

As if seeing the doubt in his eyes, Li Xiuming explained with a smile, “Twenty yuan is the price of twenty catties of grain. Now the common currency of the shelter is the food stamp, which has a face value of one catty, two catties, five catties, ten It’s different from food stamps decades ago, but it’s more like currency before the end of the world. The difference is that food stamps can be directly exchanged for food. Of course, food stamps with a face value of a catty can only be exchanged for food stamps. One pound of the most common grain.”

“Also, these restaurants now pay first and then serve the food. Someone used to eat Bawang’s meal, but it was useless to catch it. People didn’t have the money to pay at all. As a result, they had no choice but to stop. So now the restaurants, It’s all paid first.”

Li Xiuming found two crumpled food stamps with a face value of ten catties from his pocket and was about to pass them to the waiter.

Tang Yu shook his head when he saw this. Although Xiao Ming was very bold, he still saw the pain in the other’s eyes.

He understood that Li Xiuming was just an ordinary person after all. In this environment, he may be better than the average survivor, but he is not much better.

These two food stamps with a face value of ten kilograms were probably the result of Li Xiuming’s accumulation of a lot, and they were already enough for ordinary survivors to survive for a month. Tang Yu had no reason to let Li Xiuming spend so much.

“I will pay.”

He took out a source crystal and handed it to the waiter.

Li Xiuming wanted to speak, but when he saw this source crystal, his complexion was complex, “Okay, you can actually take out the source crystal. It’s an awakened one, hey, it’s a pity whether I am the first awakening headband or the later awakening. Potion, no matter how you try, you can’t wake up.”

Tang Yu didn’t know how to speak either.

In the last days, everyone wants to be an awakened. Even if they don’t go out into the wild, they will have an advantage over ordinary people in work after becoming an awakened. Who doesn’t want to be an awakened?

From his perspective, there is no right to persuade.

On the contrary, Li Xiuming smiled for a moment, “Forget it, I don’t care anymore. Anyway, I at least have a fixed job and life is much better than ordinary survivors. I am at least lucky compared to those people. .”

“It’s you, you can’t waste the talent of the Awakened. If you have savings, you’d better go to the official store to buy some equipment, such as firearms, such as the military’s special alloy sword. Those Awakened say it’s easy to use.”

Tang Yu nodded.

Li Xiuming is very reasonable, and he can see that he is sincerely advising himself. However, these are only applicable to ordinary awakened persons. He has exceeded this level. What’s more, no matter how good the military alloy sword is, it can Is it comparable to the one produced by his workshop?

Of course Tang Yu didn’t say these words. After thinking about it, he asked, “Then do you know the black market? It is said that the black market also has a lot of good things?”

“black market?”

Li Xiuming thought for a while, “I don’t know much about the black market. It’s said that the black market was originally a place where a few awakened people used to trade some invisible items, but gradually, the black market grew and became a small market. Like the commodity trading market in the eastern part of the shelter, only the items traded on the black market are mostly available to the awakened, including items and equipment, some wild trophies, and it is said that sometimes some military banned items flow out.”

Tang Yu’s eyes lit up, the military banned the sale of items, which means that the soul power container is completely possible to buy on the black market.

“Do you know where the black market is?”

Li Xiuming frowned, “On the black market, I have only heard of a hidden place in the asylum, but I don’t know the specific location. However, I heard someone say before…In this way, I will ask you at work tomorrow.”

Tang Yu ordered two bottles of beer, and during small talk, the two of them each talked about some post-apocalyptic experiences.

Li Xiuming did not encounter any danger after the end of the world. When the end of the world broke out, he happened to work in Lindong County, which happened to be selected by the military as a shelter, so he was lucky to continue working in the factory. Work was not great before the end of the world, but now it is the envy of most survivors.

Fixed positions, which are very few in the shelters, fixed wages, enough to eat every day, and perhaps some savings, not only that, compared with the official relief housing for ordinary survivors, fixed-position employees ‘S residence is much better than these relief houses.

“Don’t you know that when the shelter was first established, you could hear gunshots every day. At that time, you were really scared, or whether you were so powerful that you could survive in such an environment and live so nourished.” He sighed, “The other classmates don’t know what to do. I met the Academic Committee. 503. There are two others who work in Lindong like me. The others just happened to meet Tang you today. Know how many people have reached the shelter alive.”

Being alive is a very heavy topic.

Every day, survivors come to the shelter, but more people actually die on the road.

Of course, most of his college classmates were in the Lincheng area when the end of the world happened. The people who came to the Lindong shelter alive may not be the only ones Li Xiuming had seen, but there were hundreds of thousands of survivors in the shelter. When life is so difficult, and when there is no contact information, obviously no one is spared to spend a lot of effort to find other people.

After all, except for a few deep friendships, even if there is no apocalypse, if we meet again in a few years, they are not strangers.

“Forget about these frustrating words, Lao Tang, you just came to the shelter today, and you haven’t found a place to stay. If you don’t want to live in those relief houses, you have to go to the housing management center to choose a house.”
