The quality of life of the survivors he saw along the way was extremely poor. Some of them even lived in small boxes unloaded from the Ferris wheel, and almost all of them looked pale.
"Hey, this... there are zombies everywhere outside. We may die in the next second. We are not as skilled as you, so we will die if we go out."
"Too many people died along the way. Sixteen of our team of twenty died on the way here."
Xia Mei sighed.
"Um... Please continue to talk about the situation of this gathering place."
Moyin didn't know what to say for a moment.
After all, without the help of the tactical dolls and the system, he would still be a coward who wanted to stay at home and commit suicide, and he had no right to blame this group of people.
"Well, the safe shelter mentioned in the broadcast is true. Even if a zombie hits the iron railing, we can kill it by piercing its head with a steel chisel. But providing food is a bit nonsense."
"Every morning, the survivors could go to the porridge stall to get a bowl of porridge. But the porridge was only a few ounces thick and barely looked like water. It was just enough to keep people alive."
"This small Fengjing Water Park has more than 2,000 people crammed into it, including more than 1,000 refugees."
"My group of sisters can only curry favor with the uncles who dare to go out to find food. We can get ten kilograms of food coupons a month to fill our stomachs. We are all decent women, and I am a public relations officer in a big company. There is really nothing we can do about this damn world. People are willing to do anything when they are really hungry."
Xia Mei sighed and said sadly.
"Yes, it is indeed tragic..."
Moyin sighed. The three of them had already reached the gate of Fengjing Water Park. When the girl next to her saw the forty-year-old mature woman, she immediately ran over crying and hugged the mature woman tightly.
"Jiuwu, bring the convoy over here. I have completed the pledge here, but the situation of this gathering place is not very good. Let the people in the car get off and rest first."
Moyin pressed the tactical headset to notify.
"receive."
Type 95 gave a brief reply and then disconnected the call.
Chapter 173 Current Situation of the Gathering Place
"Young master, do you think your family needs a servant? I'm willing to do anything. Just provide the meals."
Xia Mei rolled her eyes and began to plead.
After a brief conversation, she could tell that Moyin was definitely not an ordinary person.
Nonsense! How could an ordinary person be able to wipe out the boss of the gathering place who was in control of the gathering place and had more than a dozen rifles without saying a word?
"Servants? We don't have slavery here. We're a team."
Moyin said somewhat awkwardly, it was the first time he encountered a situation where someone wanted to be his servant.
"Hey, don't hide it from me, isn't that cold girl outside wearing a maid outfit? I look good in a maid outfit, too, Master~"
Xia Mei called out in a coquettish voice, and the charming voice made the man's bones almost soften.
"Ahem, she's my girlfriend too, and you'd better not provoke her. When she gets mad, she'll kill anyone except the people on my team."
Moyin said quickly.
"Okay, okay."
Xia Mei broke out in a cold sweat after being frightened by Moyin's words, and recalled that the agent had sealed Captain Zhang's throat with a flying knife when they met.
It turned out that she had met a henpecked husband. Xia Mei couldn't help feeling disappointed.
"Although I can't take you with me, you have at least helped me save people. You can take the girls under your command to get the supplies in the rockery. Take as much as you can."
Mo Yin spoke up.
"Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master."
Xia Mei was immediately beaming with joy, she had more than 40 girls under her command, and if they took away a batch of supplies and paid the silent silver, they would definitely be the largest force in the entire gathering place.
Moreover, his relationship with Moyin was probably the closest among everyone in the gathering place, and this adventure was indeed not a mistake.
"Ahem, well, is there any place here that sells jewelry? Big diamond rings would be best. I can trade them for food or medicine."
Moyin asked.
"Hahaha, what are you talking about, young master? This gathering place is yours from today on. The lives of the people here are yours. Why do you need to buy them?
"Tomorrow, I will send you the best jewelry here, which will definitely make the ladies happy."
Xia Mei covered her mouth and giggled. She certainly would not miss the opportunity to please Mo Yin.
"I don't want to be a robber who forcibly seizes other people's wealth. I think the most basic equivalent transaction should be maintained. Otherwise, it is equivalent to keeping slaves. People should always have a conscience."
"I don't plan to take too much of the supplies in the rockery. Apart from some things I like, I plan to use the rest to help the poor in the gathering place."
Moyin shook his head and said lightly.
"Hey, young master, I, Xia Mei, have admired very few men, but you are definitely one of them!"
"I won't hide it from you. In this end times, gold and silver jewelry are worth nothing here. A necklace that used to cost hundreds of thousands of dollars can only be exchanged for ten kilograms of rice now. If you asked me to take my people to that rockery to get a batch of supplies, the value of these supplies would have long exceeded the value of gold and silver jewelry."
Xia Mei said seriously.
"Then I'll leave it to you. Please try your best to help me collect diamond rings."
Moyin nodded and stopped refusing. He didn't plan to stay in this gathering place for long. He wanted to see what kind of person Xia Mei was when the time came. If she was not too cruel, it would be fine to do her a favor and give her this gathering place.
After all, there are no sustainable renewable resources around here, and he doesn't want to manage it, but he can't just watch more than 2,000 people die in this gathering place.
As for bringing the people from this gathering place to the gathering place built by Bai Lingyu...that is just a fantasy.
It’s hard enough to feed a hundred people by myself, let alone more than two thousand people.
Moreover, there is a serious shortage of vehicles and gasoline. These people can at least survive in this gathering place even if they only have a bowl of porridge a day. If they follow me on a large scale, most of them will die.
The sound of a car engine was heard, and then an off-road vehicle and three double-decker buses stopped in front of Fengjing Water Park.
A beauty in a white cheongsam jumped off a bus and walked quickly to Moyin.
Xia Mei couldn't help feeling ashamed of herself when she saw the beauty who was as pure as a white lotus flower growing out of the mud.
"Sir, you have worked hard."
Jiuwushi said with concern.
"Fortunately, the people in charge of this place are not very good at fighting, so we defeated them easily. But I don't know what to say about the lives of the survivors here. Come with me and take a look."
Mo Yin spoke up.
"No matter what, you have done your best for my and Jiuqi's willful wishes. From now on, no matter what decision you make, Jiuqi and I will execute it without hesitation."
Jiuwushi said seriously. Moyin naturally knew what Jiuwu meant was that even if he left all the survivors on the three buses in this gathering place, they would not complain. However, he still planned to let Jiuwu see what life was like in this gathering place.
"Xia Mei, take us around the gathering place."
Moyin said that although he had taken a general look at the situation along the way when he went to Boss Qin, to be honest, people's mental and physical conditions were not very good.
"Okay, both of you please follow me, but these sisters of mine."
Xia Mei put away the charming look on her face and looked at Mo Yin and asked. After all, these girls had been exposed to the scorching sun for more than twenty minutes under the stare of that icy maid.
"Agent, let's go. There's no need to monitor them anymore."
Mo Yin waved to the agent.
"Yes, Master."
The agent then followed behind Moyin.
Xia Mei brought Moyin, Jiuwu and the agent into the gathering place.
After the agent left, the group of girls in bikinis finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyone who is stared at by a cold-blooded killer would be afraid.
After entering the gate of the gathering place, a trace of helplessness appeared on Jiuwushi's dignified face.
In front of me were the small rooms hanging on the Ferris wheel, scattered in a long row. The clean glass that I used to enjoy the scenery had now become extremely black and dirty. I could vaguely make out some worn-out bedding and some daily necessities that were almost like garbage.
The pairs of hungry green eyes that appeared in the windows made Jiuwushi's heart tighten. She was very familiar with this kind of look. Almost all the survivors on the three buses she had led before had the same look.
Even some public toilets were inhabited by people. From time to time, a pitch-black head popped out and looked at Moyin and others with fear, then lowered its head in horror.
These people were instinctively afraid of Moyin, who had become the boss of the gathering place. Even though Moyin had a warm smile on his face, he was unable to dispel the fear of these people.
Chapter 174: Selling Myself to Save My Mother for Only Six Jin of Rice
Basically everyone in the gathering place has one characteristic, which is extreme thinness.
All the men, women, young and old that came into view were skinny and bony. This was understandable. Even if a person was fat before the disaster, he would become a skinny stick after two months of starvation.
If you want to gain weight, you must at least be able to find food for yourself.
Otherwise, he would have to rely on his women to sell themselves to earn a few grains of rice to support himself.
In the huge amusement park, except for the vehicle roads marked out with steel wires, the rest of the area is basically filled with dazed survivors.
From time to time, you can see a few gambling stalls in the crowd, but the stakes between these people have been reduced to a few grains of rice or half-smoked cigarette butts.
A little girl who looked about ten years old and was covered in dust was kneeling on the ground, with a row of words written with stones and dirt in front of her.
Selling myself to save my mother only costs six kilograms of rice.
In this end times, human life has become so cheap.
"Little sister, what happened to your mother?"
Jiuwushi squatted in front of the little girl and asked in a soft voice.
"Pretty sister, please buy me, please. My name is Xiaoling. My mother is sick and can't go to the porridge shop to queue up for food. I can't squeeze to the front with my bowl. She hasn't eaten for four days and is almost starving to death. I'm willing to do anything, please buy me."
When Xiaoling saw Jiuwushi showing interest in her, her eyes lit up. She wanted to hug the beautiful sister's legs and beg her for mercy, but she was afraid of dirtying the beautiful sister's clothes.
Anyone who can dress so beautifully in a gathering place might have some food to spare.
She had been kneeling here for two days, but because she was not pretty enough and few people had spare food, no one was interested.
"Sir, can you give me some supplies?"
Jiuwushiki raised his head and looked at Moyin and begged.
"Well, take us to your mother's."
