Chapter 369
"Huh!"
Su Chen stood on the huge corpse of the white tiger and exhaled a foul breath.
In order to kill this mutant white tiger, he spent a lot of energy.
This battle was difficult.
This mutant white tiger was stronger than other mutant animals in terms of strength and speed. Su Chen relied on his strong body and the weapon in his hand to suppress it.
Even so, Su Chen was rarely left with wounds in this battle.
It was mainly to give the mutant white tiger the last blow, but he didn't expect that the opponent would have the ability to counterattack.
He was not careful for a moment, and the white tiger's claws scratched several bloody marks on his chest.
If his physical fitness was not strong enough, he might have been torn in half by its claws.
This was its angry blow, and ordinary people might even be beaten into meat paste on the spot.
After a short rest, Su Chen put the body of the white tiger into the space ring.
His battle was over, but the battle of the women continued.
The enemies they faced might not be as strong as the mutant white tigers, but there were many of them. It would take some time to eliminate all these mutant animals.
After Su Chen confirmed through Xiao Ai that the girls were fine, he was not going to help them.
Because he had other things to do.
Because just now, he learned about the current layout of Xijing City.
The human life here is much better than other places.
Because the army stationed here did not suffer too serious losses when the doomsday came, and retained most of its combat capabilities.
Occupied a small area of Xijing City and became a safe area for humans.
There are a large number of survivors living there.
This place is called Hope Camp by many people, representing hope for the future.
Because Hope Camp is controlled by the army, there is still a certain social order here, which is more secure than other places.
Most of the survivors in Xijing City want to enter Hope Camp, but unfortunately, in addition to the zombies blocking the road, there is also a limited number of people that can be accommodated in the camp, and not everyone can enter.
Either you have a skill, or you pay "money" to buy the qualification to stay, and this money can be of course not paper money.
When the doomsday comes, society collapses, the original financial market collapses completely, and the currency loses its value, like waste paper.
Now food, water and other materials are hard currency.
After the military's jurisdiction and the development during this period, Hope Camp has established exchange rates between various materials.
If it were just that, Su Chen would not have much interest in Hope Camp.
It's because he learned that there will be an auction in Hope Camp soon.
Su Chen is very interested in this auction.
I wonder if there will be any good things at the auction?
Originally, he thought about taking the girls with him, but he thought that once the girls appeared in Hope Camp, it would definitely cause a huge sensation there, and it would definitely bring a lot of trouble.
Su Chen didn't want to have too much entanglement with those people, and dealing with the garbage looking for death above would waste his time.
So he prepared to attend the auction alone.
After the girls solved their goals, Su Chen was almost out of Hope Camp.
......
Hope Camp is located in the east of Xijing City.
This used to be a residential area. After the army cleared the zombies in several communities, it occupied this place.
Mainly because there are many large grain warehouses here, the army obtained a large amount of grain, but because there was too much to take away, they could only be stationed in this place.
Because of the army, a large number of survivors began to choose to surrender.
Whether the top military officials had some thoughts because of the doomsday, they still acquiesced to the surrender of ordinary people and allowed ordinary people to live in their jurisdiction.
However, people who come here must pay something, and they will not raise waste who can't do anything and have nothing.
Survivors living in Hope Camp must pay a certain amount of "accommodation fee" every month, and those who don't have supplies can use labor instead.
No one can live here for free!
At first, some people were very resistant to the rules issued by the army, and some even took the lead in protesting.
Unfortunately, this is not a peaceful society, and no one will buy their tricks.
When the gunshots rang out and the leaders were killed, the protesters were so scared that they peed their pants on the spot and dared not think of any resistance.
These people then understood that powerful force is the truth in the doomsday!
Because of this performance of killing chickens to scare monkeys, many people who came to live in the Hope Camp did not dare to break the rules here.
No one thinks that their brains are harder than bullets!
And Su Chen agreed with the army's approach.Severe punishments should be used in the end of the world!
It is impossible to convince everyone with reason. Only strong force and the threat of death can make people obedient.
Su Chen came to the vicinity of the Hope Camp.
He saw many obstacles set up at the intersection to prevent zombies and enemies from invading.
There were several soldiers patrolling at the intersection. Those who wanted to enter the Hope Camp only needed to pay the corresponding supplies to enter.
Su Chen saw that many people were queuing at the intersection at this time, paying supplies in turn to enter.
The fee was not expensive. If you want to enter the Hope Camp, you only need to pay a normal person's meal. The real big part is the cost of settling in the Hope Camp.
Each person pays 30 kilograms of food or other equivalent supplies every month.
In fact, this is still good. The army is not too cruel.
If it were someone else to set the price, the price would definitely double.
Many people can afford the cost of entering the Hope Camp, but not many people can afford the cost of settling.
So many people live outside the Hope Camp, and only occasionally enter the Hope Camp to exchange for supplies.
Su Chen looked at the long queue, and he didn't want to waste time queuing.
So many people entered the Hope Camp today, all for this auction.
I heard there are a lot of good things.
Many leaders of civilian forces in Xijing City came to the Hope Camp, some brought auction items, and some came to auction things.
More people came to join in the fun.
When there are too many people, conflicts are likely to arise.
And these people lined up honestly, even if the two sides had a grudge, they would not conflict here.
Because the soldiers guarding the intersection are not here to eat dry food.
Once someone is found making trouble, no matter what their identity is outside, they will be punished as rioters, beaten up and fined.
If someone resists, no one will say anything if they are shot to death on the spot.
Someone had made trouble here before, and one of them had hundreds of men under him. He originally thought that the soldiers of the army that made trouble would be cautious, but he was shot to death on the spot.
As for his hundreds of men, no one came to avenge him.
This is an army, a powerful army with tens of thousands of people, with a large number of guns, airplanes and cannons. Only fools come here to die.
After seeing a living example, no one dared to make trouble at the intersection.
Even if the two sides have a grudge, they must hold it in. It is not too late to solve it when they are far away from the Hope Camp.
Su Chen looked at the long line in front of him, and he didn't want to waste time here.
Fortunately, there are ways to cut in line.
Money can make the devil work.
This sentence works at any time.
The soldiers in charge of guarding are also people, and of course they want to live a more comfortable life.
Because there are many people who don't want to queue, there is an unwritten rule here.
Those who want to cut in line need to give benefits to the soldiers guarding the intersection.
They will let people cut in line if they get benefits.
Of course Su Chen plans to cut in line!
He has no shortage of supplies.
However, he needs to make some preparations before entering the Hope Camp.
If he didn't bring anything with him and took out supplies to buy things in the Hope Camp, everyone would know that he had a problem and would definitely be targeted.
Su Chen didn't want to get himself into trouble because of this matter.
Before entering the Hope Camp, he found a car and placed a lot of supplies with strong purchasing power in the back of the car.
After getting ready, he drove to the intersection openly.
He stopped the car at the intersection and got out of the car.
Su Chen's appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
He was very different from these people in terms of both his dress and temperament.
The clothes on these people were relatively dirty, and their hair and skin were not good. After all, there was not enough water for them to take a bath in the doomsday.
However, Su Chen was different.
Not only were his clothes clean and tidy, but his skin looked rosy and smooth.
The gap between the two sides can be compared with the nobles and the poor in ancient times.
For Su Chen, everyone's face showed a curious expression.
Because they all saw Su Chen for the first time, and they had never heard of such a person in Xijing City before.
Smart people knew on the spot that Su Chen came from outside.
No matter what Su Chen's origins were, the fact that he could maintain this appearance and temperament in the doomsday showed that he had strong strength and confidence.
Some people had ill intentions in their hearts.
They were ready to wait for Su Chen to leave the Hope Camp and summon people to ambush and rob him halfway.
"You want to cut in line, you know the rules!"
When several soldiers saw Su Chen driving to the intersection, they felt a little happy.
Today's auction attracted a large number of people.The number of people entering the Hope Camp has increased several times compared to the past.
At the same time, the cost of queue jumping is much higher than before.
Their personal income has increased a lot.
These behaviors are tacitly approved by the upper level. In the doomsday, the soldiers under the command are no longer too strict, allowing them to earn some extra income.
Forced intervention in such things will cause considerable turmoil.
In the doomsday, the top military leaders absolutely do not want to see such things happen, so they tacitly allow soldiers to use this method to gain extra gains.
As long as they do not violate the rules within the army, murder, robbery or other bad behaviors are all turned a blind eye.
These soldiers don't care whether Su Chen is from outside.
As long as he pays enough fees, Su Chen will not be allowed in.
Su Chen looked at the soldiers in front of him and said calmly:
"Although I don't know how much the fee for queue jumping is, this thing should be enough!"
As he said, he took out a box of unopened cigarettes from his pocket and threw it directly to the soldier in front of him. He was the sergeant of this group of soldiers.
When they saw that Su Chen threw cigarettes to them, the soldiers' eyes turned red and their breathing became rapid.
Cigarettes are now luxury goods and they cannot afford them.
Many people have not smelled cigarettes for a long time.
The price of this box of cigarettes was only ten yuan before the end of the world, but it could be exchanged for a lot of food at the end of the world.
Seeing Su Chen was so generous, he threw a box of cigarettes to them directly.
These soldiers gathered together and stared at the cigarettes in the sergeant's hand. If they were not rational, they might have snatched them.
And their sergeant quickly came to his senses after discovering the expressions of his subordinates.
Carefully put the cigarettes into his waist bag, and then shouted at his subordinates.
"What do you look like! What a disgrace!"
"Some things will be discussed after we complete our mission"
Hearing this, the soldiers reluctantly turned their eyes away from the cigarettes and continued to check the long line in front of them.
Not only these soldiers were emotionally out of control, but the expressions of those who were queuing were also exaggerated.
No one expected that Su Chen could just throw a box of cigarettes as the fee for cutting in line. This was something no one had expected.
Cigarettes are very popular in the Hope Camp.
Many people in the crowd hadn't seen what cigarettes looked like for a long time.
Su Chen just showed his hand and stunned everyone present.
I'm afraid no one would have thought that this box of cigarettes was nothing in Su Chen's hand.
It was collected accidentally when he was collecting supplies before.
Cigarettes worth more than ten or twenty yuan, Su Chen always thought they took up space.
If his space ring was not big enough, he might have thrown away these cheap cigarettes long ago.
Guessed that Su Chen must have a lot of supplies.
He was able to have so many supplies, and he showed them in front of everyone without any cover.
Either he was a fool who knew nothing, or he had enough confidence.
And fools can't live long in the doomsday.
Therefore, the smart people present knew that Su Chen's origin must be not simple, and he must have a strong strength to support him.
Thinking of this, some people's mood became complicated.
A person with a large amount of supplies suddenly appeared, and this auction will change greatly.
Maybe Su Chen will grab what he wants.
But Su Chen didn't care about the thoughts of this group of people. He looked at the sergeant in front of him and said:
"Can I go in now?"
At this time, the sergeant looked at Su Chen again.
A rare smile appeared on his face.
"Of course!"
"You can go in, little brother!"
He personally pulled the railing blocking the road for Su Chen.
Unexpectedly getting a box of cigarettes, the sergeant was quite good to Su Chen, the God of Wealth.
Seeing their boss's flattering look, the other soldiers were a little surprised, but after thinking about the cigarettes in their hands, they all felt it was reasonable.
Of course they knew the value of this box of cigarettes.
In any case, this box of cigarettes has their share.
A cigarette can be exchanged for a lot of food. The more they thought about it, the more excited they became, and smiles appeared on their faces at the same time.
Now they can't wait and are looking forward to the arrival of the people who are taking over the shift.
