Chapter 1669: The trading market is so strong!

Night arrives.

Lao Mazi led Xu Feng and others out of Room 101, Building 1, Area A.

"Let's go, I'll take you to where you live." Lao Mazi said to Xu Feng.

"Thank you." Xu Feng said gratefully.

Looking up at the surrounding buildings, I felt a sense of déjà vu.

It's like returning to the residential complex before the apocalypse.

The residential buildings in the Trading Market Living Residential Area are built in a very standardized manner. They are all eight floors and have no elevators.

The distance between buildings in Zone A is 16.8 meters, which has been carefully calculated.

The distance between buildings is 0.7 times the height of the building to ensure lighting and ventilation of a building.

As for area B, the building height is the same, but the distance between buildings is much shorter, only 8 meters.

The distance between buildings in Zone C is only 5 meters.

Moreover, these buildings are all long in shape, with a total of 10 rooms on one floor.

Area A was the first to be built, and its geographical location is relatively superior, close to the outside, making it more convenient to go to the business district or out of the city.

Area C is at the innermost part of the residential area, and it takes a while to get out.

At night, they walked along the main road into the residential living area.

The street lights flashed with a pale yellow light,

From time to time, there is a traffic sign on the road to tell others how to go.

also,

Some street fruit trees are also planted on both sides of the street lights.

These fruit trees are growing well and have not died due to the dry weather.

It is late autumn now, and the fruit trees are growing with fruits, which makes Xu Feng and others stunned.

Seeing them looking at the fruit trees, Lao Mazi reminded:

"Don't put your mind on this fruit tree. Didn't you see the sign hanging below: No picking?"

"If you pick a fruit, you will be fined 10 points. How many kilograms of fruit can you buy with these points?"

"If you don't have points for compensation, you will be kicked out of the trading market."

Xu Feng quickly said: "No, we are just a little surprised."

"And, I'm curious, isn't anyone picking secretly?"

Lao Mazi said seriously with warning eyes:

"Please take a good look at the trading market regulations manual that was distributed. The trading market is actually very suitable for life, but you have to abide by the rules."

"Otherwise, the law enforcement here would be very cruel."

"Once a fight breaks out, there is only one way, death."

"If you rob and steal other people's property privately, you will die!"

He said several words of death, which made Xu Feng and others feel uncomfortable.

Frightened!

This punishment was too harsh. There was no room for change and the person was killed directly!

Xu Feng listened carefully to Lao Mazi's warning and put the page of the city entry manual into his arms, intending to settle down and read it carefully later.

As they walked into the residential living area, they came to Area B.

The distance between the residential buildings in the residential area is only 8 meters. It is obvious that the field of vision has become narrower and there is an inexplicable feeling of depression.

Going further, they came to Area C, a residential area.

The densely packed buildings formed a large area.

There is only a distance of five meters. There are no fruit trees here, only street lights.

The extremely narrow distance between buildings makes people feel depressed and breathless.

Living here, let alone lighting and ventilation.

It feels a bit like the Kowloon Walled City slums in Hong Kong.

The Kowloon Walled City was filled with pornography, violence, and all kinds of dark and illegal things.

People who live there cannot see the sun all year round.

However, the residential area in Zone C is better than the Kowloon Walled City. At least there are gaps between the buildings.

"We're here!" Lao Mazi pointed to the sign next to him and said:

"This is Area C. Your location is good. It's on the side of the main road, Building 78."

Then he pointed to the right, "We live in Building 18, you can find us if you go over there."

"Okay." Xu Feng nodded.

I felt a little emotional in my heart. The difference between these houses of different grades is really huge!

I just walked all the way from Area A and saw with my own eyes the difference between the three grades of houses. It can be seen just from the distance between buildings.

Moreover, when he passed Area A just now, there were lights both in the corridor and in the room.

But when we got to area C, there were no lights in the corridor and no lights in the rooms.

There are only two big lights hanging behind each building, illuminating the entire building behind them.

The light diffused into the hallway and through the cracks in the windows, shining into the room.

Pedestrians were in a hurry on the road, no one looked at them, they just focused on walking their own way.

Lao Mazi took Xu Feng and others along the main road and walked for a while before finding Building 78.

I have to say that Building 78 is in a good location, belonging to the leftmost row of buildings in Area C.

In this kind of place, the light will be slightly better.

Go upstairs.

On the second floor, there were many survivors standing in the corridor.

They were leaning on the guardrail of the corridor, chatting and looking at Lao Mazi and his group curiously.

Xu Feng and others were assigned rooms 205, 206, and 207. Each room can accommodate eight people.

Four beds, bunk beds.

Lao Mazi stood at the door of room 205, looked inside and said with a smile:

"Hey, you guys are lucky. Logically speaking, the houses at the back of Area C haven't got wooden beds yet. You guys still have wooden beds, which is pretty good."

Xu Feng stood at the door of No. 205 and saw the situation in the room through the light from the building behind.

The light from behind was scattered, so it was not very clear.

However, the room was very simple, with only four beds and nothing else.

The room was only a dozen square meters, and it seemed a bit crowded with four beds.

"This is where we will live in the future, everyone hurry in." Xu Feng said to the people behind him.

Then he assigned the personnel, and their team had a total of 18 people.

One room can only sleep 8 people. When two rooms are full, two people must live with others. Before Xu Feng spoke, Liu Da and Ge Ming took the initiative to ask to live in Room 207.

The Xu Feng team in the room seemed extremely excited.

After wandering for so long, they finally have a place to live.

Although this place has only four beds, it feels a bit bare.

But it is much better than being outside and worrying about zombies climbing the wall all the time.

They also saw the wall of the trading market, and saw the dense ultraviolet lights on the wall.

All these gave them a great sense of security.

"Brother Feng, we can finally have a good sleep."

"Yes, Brother Feng, I will sleep until I wake up naturally tomorrow!"

"The air here is sweet, this is heaven!"

Looking at the team members excitedly putting things away, Xu Feng's mouth curled up.

Lao Mazi, who had been waiting at the door, suddenly said:

"Captain Xu, I will take you to get familiar with the commercial area first, buy some water and food."

Hearing this, Xu Feng looked at Lao Mazi at the door and hurried over.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Then he found Zhang Shuzhen and Li Da and asked them to follow him to the commercial area.

As for the others, they stayed in the residential building to get familiar with the environment.

Soon.

Lao Mazi, Wang Fang, Xu Feng, Zhang Shuzhen, and Li Da went downstairs.

"There are many places to get water. There are several places to get water in Area C. I will take you there when I come back later."

"There are also several public bathhouses here. It takes 0.1 points to take a bath."

"Can you take a bath?" Li Da, who was next to Xu Feng, was shocked. He seemed to have heard something unbelievable.

It hasn't rained for several months. You know, the rivers outside are dry and drought is everywhere. It is difficult for them to get water along the way from the north.

To get water, you have to risk your life and go to some large reservoirs and lakes to get water.

There are many zombies in the lakes and reservoirs. Zombies like water. Zombies often gather in the lakes.

When getting water, if you are surrounded by zombies, you will die.

Therefore, water is an extremely precious resource in their eyes.

They often can't drink water, but the trading market can let them take a bath.

It's really a luxury!

The key is that the population here seems to be quite large.

How huge is the water consumption every day!

Where do they get so much water?

Xu Feng asked in confusion: "Where does all this water come from?"

The old pockmarked man sniffed and replied:

"There is a water plant at the trading market. The water from the water plant is introduced from Nanwan Lake. Nanwan Lake is very large and has an amazing water storage capacity. It is completely enough for us."

"Water plant!?"

Li Da took a breath.

"Then, then, then, then."

"Is it really enough?"

"How did you bring the water here?"

"How far is it?"

"When you built the water plant by the lake, how did you deal with the zombies in the lake?"

"Has the water been treated? The lake water must be treated. You can't drink it directly, otherwise there will be big problems."

Li Da asked several questions in a row. They have been to some reservoirs to draw water and know the dangers of drawing water from reservoirs.

The larger the reservoir area, the more zombies there are.

Recently, due to the continuous drought, many places have dried up.

Zombies instinctively go to places with humid and rich water vapor.

Some large reservoirs and lakes may contain hundreds of thousands of zombies, which is extremely terrifying.

Every time they draw water, it is like taking chestnuts from the fire.

Moreover, they are also building a water plant by the lake. Such a big movement will definitely attract all the zombies in the lake.

What they don’t know is that

Nanwan Lake is one of the largest reservoirs in Henan Province, with a controlled area of ​​1,100 square kilometers and a water storage capacity of 1.63 billion cubic meters.

Lao Mazi and his friends did not participate in the construction at that time, but participated in the transportation of construction materials.

So when Nanwan Lake was built, they also went there.

They watched the dock being built bit by bit.

Li Da’s questions did not annoy Lao Mazi.

On the contrary, he liked Li Da’s inexperienced and shocked look when he asked.

Then he answered their questions, and Xu Feng and his friends were shocked again. Whenever he saw their expressions, Lao Mazi was very happy and felt that he was also very cool.

This feeling is like, before the end of the world, you have a friend who is very awesome, and then you show your friend off and brag to other friends:

I have a friend who is awesome

and then harvest others' expressions of shock and admiration.

"What about Nanwan Lake? I've been there before. The water area is very large. I heard that it is dozens of square kilometers!"

"The water plant is not built in Nam Van Lake, but a water diversion pier is built there. Nan Van Lake is ten kilometers away from the trading market. In addition, the water plant is built in the trading market."

"Actually, the water is led to the trading market first, and then disinfected. The drinking water can be drank directly, don't worry, but bathing water is not recommended."

Lao Mazi patiently answered his questions one by one.

Finally he said with some pride:

"I also participated in the project to build the dock at that time. Of course there were zombies in the lake, at least hundreds of thousands! They were all drawn out and blown up to death! The sound of the cannons at that time was so loud that it shook the sky and the earth."

"Zombies are nothing, it seems you don't know how powerful the combat team at the trading bazaar is!"

"Let's just say that when you come to the trading market, you don't have to worry about the danger of zombies in the future!"

The construction of a water plant is very necessary. If the trading market had not built a water plant and diverted water from Nanwan Lake, it is estimated that the trading market would have been short of water by this time.

Well water alone cannot meet the water needs of hundreds of thousands of people.

After hearing what Lao Mazi said,

Xu Feng and Li Da looked at each other. They didn't expect the trading market to be so cruel.

He directly lured the zombies out of the lake and blew them up.

Build a dock in front of zombies.

And it’s still ten kilometers away!

This is no more than how many manpower it would take to build such a large project before the end of the world.

They remembered the buffer city construction site they had seen when they first entered the city in the afternoon. That project had a larger volume.

In this way, it seems to be reasonable.

Is this a trading market?

It's so terrifying!

The eyes looking at Lao Mazi and Wang Fang were filled with admiration.

After all, they were personally involved in the construction of the pier.

At the same time, I was also a little lucky to have come to the trading market.

Water resources that were extremely difficult for them to obtain in the past are now readily available.

Xu Feng was silent for a long time, and finally gave a thumbs up and sighed:

"So strong!"

Lao Mazi looked at their expressions, smiled, and thought to himself.

Sample, where are you now? I will go to the business district later, which will surprise you even more.

Afterwards, they walked towards the trading market commercial area while chatting.

After dark, the business district becomes even more lively and prosperous.

After a busy day, the survivors started their nightlife.

Lao Mazi and his party now arrived at the entrance of the trading market.

The bustling crowd is filled with the smoke and smoke of the city.

Neon lights flicker on the hanging hardcore sign.

The sound of hawking along the streets is endless.

All kinds of people were shopping and walking on the main street of the business district.

"Big iron pot, newly forged big iron pot, special price today, you can take it away with 0.99 points. If you can't buy it, you will suffer a loss and you can't be fooled."

"Second-hand Martin boots, wrapped in genuine leather, are great for kicking people and zombies. They can't be bitten by zombies, which means you have an extra life."

"Phoenix brand bicycles require no oil or electricity, and only consume 0.5 corn tortillas every ten kilometers. They are easy to use, worry-free and convenient, and allow you to escape the pursuit of zombies without using your legs outside."
