Chapter 445: Red Ink (Part 2)
After getting off the motorcycle at the end of the season, I blended directly into the bustling queue of people waiting for the process. Many of them were carrying large bags and needed to pay for a can of liquid food when entering the city.
This is the main city of Crimson Tide, the largest armed force in the south. It is called Nishi. It is nearly as big as a district of Brilliant City. According to incomplete statistics, there are nearly 200,000 people living in Nishi. It is also one of the largest trade centers in the southern part of the barrier area. All.
On the two high towers on both sides of the gate on the city wall, red flags on a white background are flying. At the south gate, three skeletons are hung upside down on thick ropes, as if to warn those who are progressing. , don't cause trouble in this place, otherwise you will end up like these skeletons.
Most of the people who came to the Nishi City came with the hope of getting something better. Ji Mo had roughly understood some of the conditions here during his life before he came here. The Red Tide is an extremely large armed force. , has more than 4,000 mutants, as well as a large amount of weapons and supplies, but it is the most stable organization. It controls more than 40 surrounding small towns and is entrenched in the vast land 60 kilometers south of Brilliant City. It occupies nearly one-third of the land in the south.
Most of the people who come here come here with money that can be exchanged for something they need. There are three types of hard currency here. Liquid food cans are the cheapest and can be exchanged for anything. Water can only be exchanged for some things and can be exchanged for the most. The best is food, and the best is liquid food, which can be exchanged for whatever you want.
After Ji Mo became the section chief of the Commerce Section, he read the information here. It is considered one of the wealthiest places in the barrier area. It is the only place that has been able to establish its own order over the years. Other places are not like this. The place is equally laid-back and contented, and large-scale conflicts often occur.
There are many young and strong people who come here, and most of them want to find a job here.
"Aren't you going this month? You obviously have skills in applying for admission to the southern guard station. If you can"
"Don't mention it. I went there last month and failed the physical examination. They said I have a few years to live at most. Forget it, I don't want to. I won't be able to go to the city in my lifetime."
The two young-looking people in front of them were talking about the 100 quotas given by each guard station every month to obtain the citizen level of Brilliant City. If you want to enter the city, you must pass the inspection at the guard station. What can you do? As well as physical examinations, priority will be given to those born in the barrier zone. If not all the 100 places for people born in the barrier zone at each guard station are obtained, they will be allocated to those who have been deported.
There are 4,800 quotas each year. As long as you enter the city, you will obtain a level 1 citizen level. If you cannot meet the minimum income of 1,500 yuan within three months, you will be expelled again. The second expulsion will not allow you to enter the city a third time. opportunity.
But most of the people who enter the city, except for some strong mutants, will be expelled again because they cannot adapt to everything in the city. Tomorrow, the 5th, is the review day for entering the city. Looking at the two helpless people in front of me People are discussing to enter the city in front of them to have some fun together.
Under the gray-white sky, the sound of music, noise, and lights of various colors could be heard from time to time in the city of Suiyue.
At the end of the season, I plan to enter the city first to have a look. I only brought 10 cans of liquid food in my backpack. People on the suspension bridge enter very slowly and need to undergo body searches. Regardless of men, women, or children, if weapons are found, their weapons will be temporarily confiscated. They can wait until they leave the city. Take it back.
At this time, there was a scream in the city, and the team that was slowly entering the city stopped. A man wearing only a thin shirt and pants was dragged out by two men with red tide armbands and pulled across the bridge. Then he threw it out directly.
"Please, my things have been stolen. If you throw me out, I will die. All my belongings will be lost."
"get out."
There are many people like this, and as long as you don't cause trouble in the city, there won't be any problems, but if you don't have anything to exchange for food, you will be thrown out directly.
After a while, Ji Mo could already see the streets in the city gate. They were very spacious. Many people stopped on the streets in Chengdu. Warm yellow lights shone from time to time, and people exclaimed from time to time.
Finally it was Ji Mo's turn. After completing the search, he handed the person at the city gate a can of liquid food. The other person took out a red brochure and put it on Ji Mo, which indicated that he was temporarily entering the city.
"You can only stay for three days. If you still want to stay in the city after three days, bring out a can of liquid food."
Ji Mo nodded and finally entered the City of Rebellion. Under his feet were streets paved with dark irregular stones. At this time, Ji Mo's eyes widened. The sight in front of him shocked Ji Mo.
There is an avenue in front of you, and there are people everywhere. However, the shops on the street are not normal. There are many shops in relatively complete small houses near the city wall on the left and right sides, selling food, water, and batteries. , and clothes.
But when you enter the street on the opposite side, the shops on both sides are lined with long glass showcases. When Ji Mo walks over, there is a person at the door of the store holding a loudspeaker and shouting.
"You only need 5 cans of food at a time until you vent it. If you add 5 more cans, it will last until you are drained by them. Their skills are very good. As long as they don't kill or damage them, you can do whatever you want." You can do any of these things, but hitting the store is prohibited.”
Ji Mo stood quietly in the crowd, looking at the glass window, under the warm yellow light, one woman after another posed in various provocative postures, with some tattoos on their bodies, all of which were some unsightly words, showing everything. People couldn't stand it and paid for liquid food to choose women to enter the store.
Most people who came here to exchange for some necessities of life would be squeezed dry as soon as they entered the city. When they woke up, they might have been like the man who was thrown out just now. Looking at the unusual prosperity in front of him, Ji Mo laughed coldly.
No matter what era, the weak are always the exploited party!
At this time, a strong bald man walked into a woman's window, began to press the woman to make her tilt her body, and began to do it to the onlookers outside.
"How is it? It's very comfortable. You guys are tired from the journey. Don't you want to spend a night in the gentle arms of women? Up to three people are allowed to go together. You only need 12 cans of liquid food, until the woman can't stand it. But the employees in our store are very cultured, so you can..."
For a while, some unfamiliar men began to discuss picking a woman together and then entering the store.
Ji Mo turned around and planned to leave. At this time, the crowd was a little loose. Some guys seemed to resist the desire in their hearts and left with their heads down in disappointment.
At this time, a short man passed by Ji Mo.
Women?
Ji Mo turned his head and the woman behind him took off the headscarf wrapped around her. She looked pale and thin, swallowing, and said with trembling hands.
"Do you need anyone here?"
For a while, Ji Mo stopped.
