food crisis [end times]

周日

"Your ones are too expensive. Make them cheaper. I'll buy two more."

In front of the stall selling rabbits, someone watched the rabbit sleeping lazily in the cage, and bargained tirelessly with the stall owner.

The stall owner waved his hand impatiently: "If you don't buy it, please give way, don't interfere with my business. I only sell live rabbits to take care of you, otherwise I will kill them all, and only sell rabbit meat. You won't Do you want it? What's more, this is a living rabbit that can give birth to cubs. As long as you raise it well, you will never be short of rabbit meat in your life, and you can make money by selling rabbits. This is a business for money. How much more cheap do you want? ?”

What the stall owner said was true, but apparently the buyers didn't like it.

"But that's too expensive. How about fifty less?"

"Don't sell it, don't sell it. If you really think it's expensive, go to other places. If I don't have too many rabbits and can't afford it, I won't sell it. The food I earn will be used to buy food for the rabbits. If you sell a catty less, your rabbits will eat less."

The stall owner's attitude is firm, but the people around are still trying to make the stall owner lower the bottom line.

Xiang Luo and the two squeezed to the front with great difficulty, squatted down to take a closer look at the rabbit, and just about to reach out to touch it, the stall owner slapped it away: "If you don't buy it, don't touch it. These rabbits are timid. If they get scared, they will die of illness." Whose is it?"

"Then I have to see how fresh it is. If I buy it back, I won't be able to support it."

"Do you really want to buy it?" The stall owner had already been annoyed by the people around who were lowering the price. At this time, he finally saw a person who seemed to be doing business well, and he took a second look.

Xiang Luo stretched out four fingers: "Four big ones."

Everyone around gasped.That's two thousand catties of grain.

Those who can live in urban areas are naturally hiding dragons and crouching tigers, and some have two thousand catties of grain at home.Maybe there are not many people who are willing to spend two thousand catties of grain to buy four rabbits.After all, Youdao is rich in wealth, and those with hair are not counted.Such a living thing may die within two weeks after being brought back, and the two thousand catties of grain are equivalent to being thrown into the hands.

Even if someone wants to buy it, at most they will raise one or two at home. If they are raised, they will be bred and reproduced with other people raised in the same way. It is good luck to keep them alive. Five hundred catties of grain, such a loss can be borne by gritting one's teeth.

What Xiang Luo said was quite a local tyrant, causing everyone to focus on the two of them.But the stall owner shook his head and said, "Limited to two."

Xiang Luo raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

"There's no reason, you have to let other people buy it too, you can't let you buy it all by yourself," the stall owner said with a twitch.

Xiang Luo glanced at Zhu Yan, Zhu Yan nodded slightly, and bought it.

Xiang Luo only said: "Let's buy it with gold, let's convert it to the official, and then give me a receipt."

The stall owner was a little troublesome: "Why are there so many things?"

"We also buy for others." Xiang Luo's words are much more reasonable.

The surrounding people suddenly realized that they didn't buy it for themselves.

Just say how could such a young guy have such a great ability to make such a generous move, it turned out to be helping others.

In the end, the procedures were followed, because the store didn't send a cage, so the two just took off their coats, wrapped the two rabbits and went straight out of the city, planning to send them to the RV.

As a result, as soon as I turned a corner out of the city, I was stopped by someone.

Seeing three big men who were about the same height as him standing in front of him, Zhu Yan hugged the rabbit and raised his eyebrows: "Why are there so many brothers?"

"Your rabbit is not bad, we are very rare. Please give it to us," the leader looked very obscene with a pair of triangular eyes, staring at the two rabbits in Zhu Yan's arms, and greedily licked his lips horn.

Even in urban areas, there is no shortage of people who take risks for profit.

The lieutenant general's son was abducted from the city.No matter how strict the regulation is, it is impossible to cover everything.

Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "How much do you pay?"

The man took out a two-and-a-half piece of compressed biscuit from his pocket and threw it at Zhu Yan's feet: "If you have too many, you don't need to look for them. Give me the rabbit!"

The man reached out to grab the rabbit's ears, Zhu Yan took a step back.The man immediately said angrily: "Don't be shameless! I want you to save face, otherwise don't blame me for letting you crawl out!"

Zhu Yan didn't change his face, just said: "Did you hear that? Let them crawl out."

Zhu Yan didn't look at Xiang Luo, but Xiang Luo had already responded: "I heard, I promise to complete the task."

Xiang Luo clenched his fists.

Xiang Luo's coat was taken off to cover the rabbit, and the short sleeves couldn't cover the protruding muscles on his arms.Those three people were not completely unprepared, but they all took out weapons from their pockets, some were daggers, some were throwing sticks, and they wanted to greet Xiang Luo without saying a word.Xiang Luo blocked Zhu Yan tightly behind him, kicked one person back five or six meters with only one kick in the air.The other two didn't expect Xiang Luo to have such explosive power.When the one holding the knife was stunned, Xiang Luo had already grabbed the man's wrist, and heard a "click" with only one force. The man's arm was bent backward in a very twisted state, and the knife fell to the ground long ago. .

Another person hurriedly stepped back: "You can't touch me! Do you know who I am? I...I..."

Xiang Luo approached slowly, the man no longer dared to speak harshly, and turned his head to run.At this time, more than a dozen people appeared around the corner, Xiang Luo saw that the person was about to run up to the group of people, so he threw the knife in his hand and stabbed the person in the buttocks.

The man's screams resounded through the sky, and the dozen or so newcomers did not dare to take a step forward.

Xiang Luo dealt with the three of them without even warming up. He just felt that his fists and feet were not stretched out, and his whole body was uncomfortable.He only clenched his fists and looked at the dozen or so newcomers: "Do you want to crawl out too?"

Now the dozen or so people didn't dare to approach, they shook their heads repeatedly and then turned around like birds and beasts scattered.

Xiang Luo was quite dissatisfied, and muttered: "This is too useless, is that all?"

As soon as the shot was made, all three of them lay down, which was too embarrassing.

Zhu Yan looked at Xiang Luo's performance coldly, and his eyes couldn't help falling on Xiang Luo's arm.

In the explosion of his body, he seemed to be stronger again.

These three people actually have a little fist on their bodies.Otherwise, the three skinny men wouldn't dare to be so arrogant to block the two well-dressed and relatively strong men.

But in the end, it was ten times with one force. Facing the suppression of absolute power, the three of them knelt down in seconds after meeting each other.

Maybe Xiang Luo really should have a systematic training to fully display his talent.

Only by being absolutely strong can one go further in such a world.

Xiang Luo turned his head and made a salute to Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan laughed, turned his head and continued towards the RV without bothering the public officials. After all, it would take some time to record the transcript.

Putting the rabbits on the car, the two little rabbits were obviously frightened and had a little stress response.Zhu Yan bought injections from the system, gave the two rabbits tranquilizers and vaccines, and fed the rabbit food bought from the system.Afterwards, the two went to the hotel to pack their bags, and they simply stayed in the car tonight.

The pigs had to be cleaned every day, otherwise the smell would be quite off-putting.Fortunately, the collected feces can be sold from the system, and the system can be used as fertilizer. Although the price is not high, it at least solves the dilemma of garbage disposal.

It's just that no matter how clean it is, there will always be some smell in the car.When I first came out, the air freshener was sprayed desperately, and then the windows were opened to diffuse the smell.But the taste is even more nondescript.In the end, Zhu Yan was clever, and thought of pet disinfectant, which is specially designed to deal with all kinds of odors, and the smell in the car is indeed much fresher.

Both of them like the peach flavor the most. After spraying and letting the wind out, the whole car is like a walking peach, which is sweet and not greasy. After all, even if the two men stay in it for a long time, there will be no sense of disobedience.

But because I slept in the hotel last night, I didn't clean it up in a timely manner, and now it's still a bit smelly to enter the RV.After spraying one side of the caravan and opening the window, the patrolling people could smell the smell from far away.

When the two of them finished their meal and were about to go to bed, someone came over to ask what happened and why it was so fragrant here.

I just bought a rabbit, so I have a ready-made excuse.

Xiang Luo said to the inquiring soldier with an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, my buddy is obsessed with cleanliness. Didn't I raise two rabbits during the day? They can eat and pull them, which made the car smell bad, so I sprayed them." A lot of deodorants. But once the smell is released, it will suffocate others."

The soldier took a look, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "That's okay, the smell is actually quite good. You don't have to take it to heart, just keep doing your work."

In fact, the main concern of coming to investigate is to cover up some smells, such as the smell of dead people's corruption.If you exclude this, nothing else matters.On the contrary, in this hot day of the world, the smell of sweat is everywhere, and a little fresh fragrance is also good.

Indeed, I am used to smelling such a fragrance, and I can't stand the smell of sweat when I go to the crowd.

After solving this trouble, the two of them lay on the bed and enjoyed their own room.

Living in a hotel, although the environment is better, is also safer and more secure.But after all, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as this puppy nest of his own.Maybe when I was away from home, my subconscious mind decided that this place was a temporary home.

The next day, when it was the official departure time, the two cleaned the pigs and rabbits again.The two rabbits bought yesterday had injections and good food, and they recovered completely overnight. Even when Xiang Luo went to touch them, he showed a very friendly attitude.

After spraying deodorant to make sure the smell was almost gone, I went straight to the army.It has been registered before, and in the past, just take out your own stub.

Before leaving, a soldier dressed as an officer walked over, looked Xiang Luo up and down first, and then asked, "Did someone see you fighting outside the city yesterday?"

The officer frowned slightly, looking at the two of them with scrutiny.Especially Xiang Luo, whose physical fitness is very strong at first glance.

Xiang Luo said: "Yesterday I bought two rabbits, and when I left the city, there were people blocking them. They wanted to exchange a pack of compressed biscuits for the two rabbits I got in exchange for a thousand catties of grain. If I didn't give them, they would stab me. I wouldn't I understand how they have such well-informed news, and they dare to do it at the gate of the city. They also said that they know people with good hands and eyes, so they want to show me."

The officer saw him fighting and was worried that they would also be disobedient, so he came to ask.But Xiang Luo simply turned against the general and asked why he was robbed, or whether he really had any background.

Sure enough, the officer's tone softened a bit, but he still asked, "Then why didn't you report the crime?"

"I beat people so badly, what if I'm responsible for the investigation? And the other party is clamoring that they have a background and know people. Anyway, if they don't dare to catch up with me, I'll forget it."

This is reasonable.

It's normal to attack hard. In this world, there are people who will die for a biscuit, and some people will kill for a biscuit.As long as he didn't strike first, even if someone died, Xiang Luo couldn't be blamed.

If in such a chaotic world, ordinary people are not even given the courage to protect themselves, then it is true that people are not allowed to live.

What Xiang Luo said was impeccable. The officer saw that the two of them didn't want to be a domineering person, so he said, "Don't feel troublesome if something like this happens in the future, and report it directly. Only with your cooperation can the criminal be completely attacked. If you both feel troublesome and don't make a fuss, in fact It's also a help to criminals. Okay, you guys get ready and get ready to go."

After passing the line, he turned his head and gave Zhu Yan a look.The two drove away from the urban area following the official car.

After more than a week, the two finally officially entered the capital from home.

This last stretch of the road was fairly safe.The family car is protected in the middle by military vehicles.During the period, I met someone who tried to take a risk to attack the official, but the moment the official showed off the sophisticated equipment, the other party was instantly discouraged, and then the journey went smoothly and directly entered the capital.

There is a rest stop outside the capital, and the official convoy enters directly for handover, while those traveling with them stay outside first.Afterwards, each person distributed a brochure, probably the places that need to be paid attention to in the capital, and some latest regulations that need to be cooperated.

Xiang Luo and the others glanced at it briefly, and found that the words on it were not very large, and there were more than ten pages densely written on the small manual, which was similar to the manual of electrical appliances in the past.

Xiang Luo felt his head ache.Although he can still read books, he is only limited to books with smooth layout and comfortable reading. This kind of small books almost makes him suffer from dense phobia.Can't see anything.

Zhu Yan was a little bit better. After reading it from beginning to end, he understood almost everything.

"Cars can be placed outside the Fifth Ring Road. If you want to go in, you need a thorough inspection and approval. But if you stay outside the Fifth Ring Road, the safety level can be guaranteed and no outsiders will touch it. You can rent a car by yourself when you enter the Fifth Ring Road. From bicycles to There are luxury cars with different prices. The rent of cheap cars is not high. Now you need a letter of introduction within the Fourth Ring Road. It can be seen that the places where safety is completely confirmed are expanding around.”

It is confirmed that there are no hidden dangers in the first ring, or the personnel have thoroughly investigated it, and it will be included in the safe area after it is confirmed that it is correct.

The capital has never refused to admit foreigners.It's just that newcomers need a certain period of time to gain safety approval.

"You understand everything?" Xiang Luo only spent a few minutes looking at him.If it was me, it would take an hour or two to finish reading it at least.

"Idiots read word for word."

The idiot Xiang Luo was hit in the knee with a sword.

"Didn't you tell me that as long as you catch the key words, you can go up in your reading speed?" Zhu Yan glanced at Xiang Luo.

This is really what Xiang Luo taught him. It was an endorsement and reading tip by Xiang Luo, who was almost a god-level scholar, Zhu Yan when he was in high school.It's just that Zhu Yan's brain is more active than Xiang Luo's, and the effect of using it is better than Xiang Luo's.

It's just that for books, this brochure is like a law, and Xiang Luo subconsciously feels that every word is not in vain.

Probably because of this, Xiang Luo was limited by his own thinking,

"Is there anything else?" Xiang Luo decided to give up the topic.

"When entering the third ring road, you need to wear a positioning bracelet, which has a communication function, but if you want to communicate, you need to pay by yourself, and the price is not low. Calculate this, which is equivalent to 1 yuan for [-] minute in the past. You can't take it off privately during the period. But you can’t take it away from the Third Ring Road. Even if you go out, you have to hand it in.”

This is indeed not cheap, but it should also prevent each other from talking on the phone and busying the line. After all, in such a world, signal resources are also in short supply.Too many people calling at the same time can also cause communication congestion.

"In this case, this pair of bracelets is relatively scarce. Even in the capital, it can only be provided to the third ring."

"It should be. Otherwise, the fourth ring road has already been classified as a safe green zone. Why haven't bracelets been popularized?" Zhu Yan put the brochure in a drawer, started the car and drove to the vehicle custody office.If you feel that you have important valuables in your car, you can go to the indoor parking lot and have a separate space for more rigorous patrols.

Of course, this also marks a more expensive price, not everyone can afford it.

Managed the vehicle and rented an electric car at the same time. It is not very big and the space is not large, but the compact model represents more flexibility and convenience in movement. The two packed some compressed biscuits and gold bars in the car, and brought Father Luo Give the deposit card and recommendation letter and go straight to the entrance of the Fourth Ring Road.

Now there are only two exits in the Fourth Ring Road, the north and the south, and the south is still an official dedicated passage, which is only allowed to transport important materials or people who encounter special circumstances to enter and exit.Only the north side is accessible.

The two drove to the entrance, found the special passage for foreigners to enter for the first time, and found that there were only five or six people, three of whom were a family of three, crying and howling at the boarding gate.

Xiang Luo drove the car closer, and heard one of the obviously educated men talking about "class privileges", "class segregation", "regarding the lives of ordinary people", "violating the will of the founding of the country".

One hat after another was put on, as if the closure of this passage was a passage to hell for people like them who couldn't get in.If they can't get in, they will be doomed. If they are not allowed to go in, it means that the leadership above does not treat them as human beings, but is reconciled to watching them die.

If you are someone who doesn't understand the situation, watching the three members of this family weeping and quarreling will probably be brought into rhythm.

The official clearly gave the foreign population a certain inspection area for safety considerations.It's as if the people inside the fourth ring road have reached a certain level of safety, and they are also included in the safety zone.In the future, for the fifth and sixth rings, as long as there are many people, it is entirely possible to even have a conceptual seven and eighth rings outside.

And no matter inside or outside the safety zone, the treatment is the same. Even if it is a peripheral area where the safety level is not so high, the authorities will accept and manage it as soon as possible.

To put it bluntly, it's just turning black and white for self-interest.
