Chapter 1552 You are being watched

Trading bazaar, business district.

Shop No. 3, Counter No. 5.

Zheng Hanbing came out from the side door. The inspection officer Dai Ming took Zheng Hanbing's red number plate and opened the computer to search for Zheng Hanbing's information.

A local area network has been built in Oil City, which can cover a radius of several kilometers, covering the entire Oil City and trading market.

All computers within this range can share and update information.

Based on the numbers on the number plate, Deming found out the name of their team: Qingtianyuan. There were 26 people in the team. The captain's name was Lin Muguang, and his position before the end of the world was: farmer.

Just the word farmer, and his personal resume is completely blank.

But the vegetables in the baskets in front of him were of extremely high quality. They could grow vegetables of this quality in the apocalypse, and they were grown in places other than the trading market, which was enough to show the cultivation capabilities of this group of people.

At the same time, Xiaoliu was almost done testing the vegetables.

And take out different vegetables separately and weigh them.

A few minutes later, Xiao Liu took out a small list and handed it to De Ming.

"Brother Dai, this is the list of vegetables they sell to us."

Dai Ming took it, checked it carefully and nodded, "Return the basket to them."

"yes."

Dai Ming walked to counter No. 5 and said to Zheng Hanbing who had been waiting outside for a while:

"Chinese cabbage is 59 pounds, 0.2 points per pound, 11.8 points.

54 pounds of lettuce, 0.2 points per pound, 10.8 points.

78 pounds of cucumbers, 0.3 points per pound, 23.4 points.

50 pounds of radish, 0.35 points per pound, 17.5 points.

48 pounds of small tomatoes, 0.4 points per pound, 19.2 points.

A total of 82.7 points. "

With that said, he operated the points punching machine and handed over the number plate and the printed small slip.

The small list clearly states the point time, the items sold, the remaining points balance from the last time, and the balance after the points entered this time.

"Check the order. If there's no problem, that's it." Dai Ming said to Zheng Hanbing.

Zheng Hanbing looked at the balance in the order. There were 83 points left. The last time they left the trading market, there were only 0.3 points left.

He couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he couldn't get 100 points for selling two hundred kilograms of vegetables. This was less than the points he could get in exchange for it at the beginning.

But if he sets up a street stall in a business district, the points he will receive will definitely exceed 100.

However, the sales speed of stalls in commercial areas is too slow.

"Next time, you can ask the people you just mentioned who are good at planting to come and talk to me or go to the mission hall to find staff. We have some positions here for people like you who really know how to plant." Dai. Ming saw Zheng Hanbing looking at the list and reminded him.

After Zheng Hanbing heard what Dai Ming said, he couldn't help but squeeze the small piece of paper in his hand.

He was a little excited.

They are professionals in planting, but they have now stabilized in Zhongshan Forest Park.

After thinking for a while, he raised his head and smiled.

"If it's good, I will definitely tell him that this number is fine, thank you."

As he spoke, he shook the small piece of paper in his hand.

Deming smiled and nodded.

Zheng Hanbing took their baskets off the counter and carried them away.

As soon as I came out of Shop No. 3, I walked towards the hypermarket of Shop No. 34.

Shop No. 34 is also the official self-operated store of Oil City.

Various groceries are sold, including daily necessities such as salt, sugar, alcohol, tea, and even watches.

They mainly come here to buy salt, medicine, and other daily necessities.

Before reaching Shop No. 34, a man suddenly approached.

"Zheng Hanbing."

"Um?"

Zheng Hanbing turned his head and saw Liu Dongdou, whom he had met several times today. What a coincidence.

His eyes were a little wary, which was too much of a coincidence.

He believed that it was a coincidence that they just met in store No. 3. After all, Liu Dongdou also used to sell things.

But after selling the things, he met him again not long after he came out.

He didn't believe there could be such a coincidence, he must have been waiting for them here on purpose.

"What a coincidence." Zheng Hanbing replied, taking a small step back.

When Liu Dongdou saw him retreating, he took a step forward and whispered calmly:

"You're being targeted."

"Ah?" Zheng Hanbing's eyes were horrified and he was about to turn around.

"Don't look back!" Liu Dongdou shouted in a low voice.

"Don't look back. Once you turn around and get exposed and get me involved, they will know that I told you."

"What's going on? Stealing and fighting are not allowed in the trading market. If they dare to do something here, the inspectors will not let them go!" Zheng Hanbing didn't believe it. He had seen the inspectors kill people with his own eyes.

The regulations here are very simple, just a few.

But the punishment measures were extremely harsh. There was no confinement. After whipping, they were immediately killed.

"Haha, who said they were going to do it at the trading market? Wait until you leave the trading market."

"There are so many people, why did they focus on us?" Zheng Hanbing asked in confusion.

Liu Dongdou smiled, "Because you look weaker, and besides"

"You carry baskets on your back and cover them with black cloth. Isn't that telling others that you have good stuff inside? The people from the Golden Tiger Gang specially sent people to watch at Shop No. 3, just to find some fat sheep that are easier to bully."

"Your vegetables look very fresh at first glance. It's too eye-catching to put them in the trading market. You can make so many fresh vegetables, which means you can grow them. Do you know how tempting this is to many forces?"

After hearing Liu Dongdou say that they look weak, Zheng Hanbing gritted his teeth. Damn it!

"Why help us?" Zheng Hanbing asked.

He didn't believe that there were good people in the world who were willing to take risks to tell him this.

Liu Dongdou said lightly:

"I have a grudge against them, and I am happy to make them unhappy. In addition, I can tell you how to deal with them, but next time you come in, I want three pounds of vegetables."

Three pounds of vegetables? Not more, not less.

But in order to ensure the safety of the seven of them, three pounds of vegetables are worth it, and they will be given to them next time.

"Okay, how to deal with them?" Zheng Hanbing asked.

Liu Dongdou said:

"The order in the trading market is stable, and generally speaking, they rarely care about things outside. However, a murder occurred outside the trading market recently, which caused the attitude of the trading market to change.

Let me tell you a recent story first: a few days ago, a few people directly robbed a goat carried by two other people outside the trading market, and then lined up to enter the city. The two people who were robbed were not happy and chased those people to get it back."

"There was a fight, and the two people were killed on the spot by the four robbers, and they carried the goat with human blood into the city."

"This incident has a very bad impact. Imagine that if you worked hard outside and finally found something that could be exchanged for points, and returned to the oil city, but were robbed by people who were waiting here, how would you feel?"

"It must be unpleasant. What happened later? What was the result?" Zheng Hanbing asked.

"Where are you going now?" Liu Dongdou asked suddenly.

"Shop No. 34."

"Oh, it's on the way, let's go there."

Liu Dongdou continued:

"Later, the incident was reported by the guard at the trading market. Coincidentally, I heard that a department called the Supervision Department was conducting a survey recently and distributing questionnaires. Of course, I filled out one and mentioned this matter."

"That night, the four people who killed people outside the trading market were hanged under the street lights on the central street of the trading market. It was really awesome!"

As if he remembered the scene at that time, Liu Dongdou's face was red with excitement.

"Immediately afterwards, the trading market issued a decree that as long as it was on the black square road outside the trading market, you know, the one or two kilometers of black asphalt road outside, as long as it was within this range, robbery, theft and fighting were not allowed, otherwise it would be regarded as a provocation to the oil city."

After listening to this, Zheng Hanbing's image of the trading market became more and more majestic.

"But why not just prohibit the survivors in the trading market from robbing and stealing outside? Oil City is so powerful, no one should dare to violate it, right?"

"Hehe."

Liu Dongdou snorted coldly, looking at Zheng Hanbing with a strange look.

"You think too simply."

"Will it be useful to prohibit such things? It can't be prohibited! The trading market can't waste a lot of manpower and material resources to manage this matter. It's a thankless task!"

"Besides, it's very troublesome to manage such things. There are no cameras. How can the people in Oil City tell which one was robbed when the two sides argue?"

"If it weren't for the murder that happened at the gate of the trading market, I guess they wouldn't bother to care about these."

"Besides, everyone in the trading market will naturally abide by your rules. After leaving, why should Oil City manage it?"

Zheng Hanbing was silent for a long time, and asked with a serious look: "Tell me about your method?"

Liu Dongdou lowered his head He said in a low voice: "According to my observations during this period, in fact, after you go out of the trading market gate, it is best to go west first, because there are the most transport convoys in the trading market in the west."

"The Golden Tiger Gang is afraid of the Oil City. If there are transport convoys from the Oil City, they generally dare not take action. After you walk three kilometers to the west, there is an intersection over there. You just run directly to the forest in the north. Remember to run as fast as possible, don't look back, and run with all your strength."

"In this way, even if someone is watching you from behind, as long as you get rid of them, you will be safe."

Zheng Hanbing looked at Liu Dongdou and thanked him with a fist: "Thank you!"

Liu Dongdou smiled, and the two continued to walk forward side by side.

Soon they arrived at Shop 34, and Liu Dongdou did not stop, "I'm going to the front first, remember what I said."

After that, he disappeared into the crowd.

Zheng Hanbing narrowed his eyes, and the team member who had been following Zheng Hanbing came over and said:

"Brother Zheng, I think he may not have good intentions, we can't trust him completely."

"I know, let's buy things first, and we'll talk later." Zheng Hanbing nodded and replied.

Entering shop No. 34, there were more people inside than shop No. 3.

They bought 10 kilograms of salt, and one kilogram of salt cost 3 points, so they spent 30 points on buying salt.

Then they bought 5 points of cooking oil. They couldn't afford diesel generators, and sometimes they had to use lamps at night, so oil lamps could make do, and the oil could also be used for eating.

In addition, they spent 14 points to buy two long-lasting handheld ultraviolet lamps, just in case. If they encounter zombies climbing the wall, the ultraviolet lamps can repel them.

In total, they spent 60 points, and there were 23 points left.

The things they bought could be put into a basket.

Finally, they were a little hungry, so they spent another 5 points to buy 20 corn tortillas.

These corn tortillas supported the seven of them tonight. They had to travel tomorrow, and they couldn't survive without food on the road.

In the end, there were only a dozen points left, and Zheng Hanbing lamented that points were hard to earn but easy to spend.

In the commercial area, there was a faint aroma of barbecue.

"Brother Zheng, there are so many more shops and restaurants in this trading market. I just passed by that barbecue restaurant. It smells so good." Jie Dali looked at the beef skewers in the hands of a pedestrian on the road with some envy, and said with saliva.

Zheng Hanbing glanced at him, "What do you want to say?"

Jie Dali wanted to eat, but he was embarrassed to say it. "Nothing, just feeling the changes here."

The commercial district is very prosperous, but they only have a dozen points left, and they are reluctant to spend them.

After passing many shops, they all want to go in, but they dare not go in and cannot afford to spend.

Helplessly, Zheng Hanbing took them around quickly,

then took everyone to the East District Accommodation Building and chose the cheapest third-tier accommodation building.

The seven of them were in a team, so they were assigned to a room.

After entering the accommodation building, Zheng Hanbing looked at the familiar room and found some changes.

Although there was no bed yet, at least there was a window.

During the day, they carried baskets, and each of them carried dozens of kilograms of vegetables and walked dozens of kilometers, so they did not bring bedding.

At night, they could only sleep against the wall for one night.

There were only seven of them in this room, which was not bad.

Zheng Hanbing took a tortilla for each of them, and they ate the tortillas. After eating wild fruits and vegetables for two months, they inexplicably felt that the tortillas in their hands were delicious.

A man ate a tortilla and got up from the corner and sat next to Zheng Hanbing.

"Old Zheng, how are we going tomorrow?"

Zheng Hanbing took a deep breath, "I haven't decided yet. Did you see anyone following us?"

"Yes, one is taller, one is wearing a hat. I looked carefully. When we came out of Shop 34, the two were always behind us. When we came to the living area, I saw the two again, and Dali saw them too." Feng Cheng said.

Jie Dali, who was eating corn cakes, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I was just about to say that."

"I saw them downstairs when I was walking in the aisle just now."

Zheng Hanbing frowned. He didn't quite believe Liu Dongdou, but it was true that someone was following them.

After spending so many years in the apocalypse, he naturally knew to be careful of other survivors.

After knowing that he got out, he immediately ran to the forest. The vegetation in the forest was dense and it was not easy to be tracked.

But Liu Dongdou was too specific, and the escape route was too specific.

He had every reason to doubt whether Liu Dongdou would set a trap for someone in the location he said.

You must be on guard against others.

After thinking for a while, Zheng Hanbing said to everyone:

"Everyone go to bed early tonight. We will get up at five o'clock tomorrow morning and line up at the gate of the trading market. The earlier we go out, the safer we will be."

The trading market has a large population and is very popular. It will attract many zombies at night. No one wants to stay overnight near the trading market.

They will go out early the next morning, and there should be no ambushes and traps outside.

In this way, their safety should be guaranteed.
