Chapter 74 74. Going out for a walk
At this time, Luo Tong was checking various options on the crystal core interface in space. She didn't need the armor yet. To upgrade her level, the number of crystal cores required was too huge.
She held her head and recalled her experience at the Liuhe gathering place in her previous life. At that time, there were many battle groups in the gathering place. Once in danger, the fighting groups would protect the gathering place.
Usually war groups go out to hunt, collect supplies, or open up hunting areas to earn crystal cores. Strong war groups will also go deep into the hinterland to kill high-level zombies.
The exchange price of materials is also very different from now, which is normal, after all, it was ten years after the end of the world.
Ten years later, what is in charge of the gathering place is the so-called parliament, which is composed of representatives of the survivor battle groups, the research institute, and the logistics support department.
The military is only responsible for maintaining security at the base, as well as personnel management and other matters, which are now all unilaterally controlled by the leader.
Compared to now, the system will undoubtedly be more mature ten years from now.
I remember that when she came to the gathering place in her previous life, the system in the gathering place was different from what it is now. There were already many survivor groups.
Maybe it was because she arrived at the gathering place early in this life, so it was different.
The rainy season and cold winter she experienced in her previous life are the memories Luo Tong least wants to recall, because during this period, she lost her parents one after another.
After retracting his thoughts and sighing, Luo Tong put his backpack on his back and walked out of the space.
It was after nine o'clock in the evening and everyone had gone to bed.
Luo Tong wanted to go out for a walk at night and get acquainted with this place that was both familiar and unfamiliar to her.
He took the key and quietly went out, the moonlight illuminated the dark night.
Walking along the road, you can see a lot of firelights on the road leading to the entrance.
When we arrived at the intersection, there was a torch across the road, and groups of people were sitting around under the torches doing various transactions.
Luo Tong wore a black hoodie, jeans, and a peaked cap on his head when he went out. He walked with his head down in a dim environment where he couldn't tell the difference between men and women.
When he saw someone setting up a stall, he went over to take a look.
Most of the items exchanged on the street stalls are daily necessities, and some sell homemade weapons, but the workmanship is really not that good.
Arriving at the center of Liuhe Village, a road to the west leads to the entrance and exit. There are more people on this road.
Moreover, the materials used for exchange here are obviously much more practical than those on the road just now, including various pre-apocalyptic food, drinking water and daily necessities.
Luo Tong even saw medicines at several stalls, and even expired cold medicines were bought at high prices.
The closer you get to the entrance, the more weapons you sell. There are daggers, axes, crowbars, and baseball bats. These are all products made before the end of the world, and the price goes without saying.
"Please give me some instead, my family is starving to death." A woman's pleading voice reached Luo Tong's ears.
"Get out of here! Do you want to exchange these wretched things for food? Just dream! Get out of here! Otherwise I will destroy you!"
"Please! I'll give you all this, just one pound of rice! Just one pound!"
A lewd voice added in, "Hey, how about you stay with me for a week and I'll give you a pound of food?"
Luo Tong squeezed into the crowd. A woman in her twenties was holding a bag in her hand and was being teased by several men.
The woman reared up in panic and tried to get out of the crowd, but was pulled back by the man.
"How about it? Think about it... It's hard to exchange food now. I can exchange it for you a pound. It's already good." The man's lewd eyes wandered over the woman.
"No! No! I won't change anymore, I won't change anymore! Let me go!" The woman's face was pale and she cried and begged.
"Humph! You have to change if you don't want to change today!" The man grabbed the woman's arm and took her into his arms.
Luo Tong frowned, quietly picked up a few pebbles, aimed them at the legs of several men and threw them, causing them to fall to the ground instantly.
The woman was quite clever and took the opportunity to get out of the crowd.
"Ouch! Who did this MD!"
"It hurts me so much, grab that woman! MD!"
"Catch her! She must have done it!!" Several men shouted.
The surrounding suddenly became so noisy that several men could not see where the woman had gone.
They didn't see it clearly, but Luo Tong could see it clearly.
She quickly chased after him and grabbed the woman's shoulders after passing the corner.
The woman screamed in fright, turned around and saw a short figure.
"You...who are you?"
Luo Tong pulled off his hat and said, "Don't be afraid, I just heard that you wanted to exchange for food?"
Seeing that the other party was a young girl, the woman breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes...yes."
Luo Tong pulled the woman to a building and made sure those people wouldn't chase her before asking.
"Can I see what you're changing?"
There was light in the woman's eyes, "You have food!?"
"certainly."
The woman wiped her tears and hurriedly took out a package of things from her arms.
Luo Tong came over and took a look. They were all jewelry. Platinum and gold necklaces and rings, some of which were inlaid with precious stones. This big bag weighed at least more than ten kilograms.
These things are indeed of no use at this stage, but in the future someone will purchase them specifically and use them to build weapons.
"Okay, I want it."
"Really!?" The woman couldn't believe it.
"Where do you live, I will send the food there, and I will pay you and deliver it."
"Okay, okay!"
The address could not be told clearly, so the woman led Luo Tong directly to a dilapidated house.
The house was pitifully small, with only five or six square meters of space inside. It was very low, and you could only bend down when entering.
There were three people lying inside, two older and one younger. All three were very weak.
"Okay, I'll bring the things to you in a minute."
The woman nodded and sent Luo Tong out uneasily, fearing that this man would never come back.
Luo Tong turned a corner and entered the space. Thinking of the place and situation where the woman lived, there was no room to cook rice and flour for her, so he simply took some bread, biscuits and canned rice pudding.
Luo Tong returned to the woman's residence and moved a box of food inside.
"So many!" The woman was startled.
"There are also two buckets of drinking water in the box, which can last for a few days."
The woman hurriedly put the package in Luo Tong's arms, gritted her teeth, took off the ring from her hand, and put it inside together.
"Thank you...I..." The woman's tears kept falling.
Luo Tong waved his hand, "I've got my money and goods, and I'm leaving."
Her steps were fast, as if she was running away, and she left the woman's sight in a few moments.
Looking back, Luo Tong finally exhaled and threw the bag of things into the space when he could no longer see the tearful woman and the simple kennel-like room.
She didn't want to see that helpless woman, and she didn't want to see her and her family living in a place like that. This reminded her of herself in her previous life, and the same situation she and her parents were in when they first came to the gathering place.
At that time, I was not as brave as this woman, so I would only hide under the protection of my parents until the end...
The sufferings of the last days will smooth out all the edges, but who will be willing to do so? Who will not cherish the last stubbornness and continue to survive with difficulty.
