I Plant A Field In The Last Days

Chapter 447: Big Blackout

Seeing the balance shown above, everyone was not only taken aback, they still haven’t figured out how much the level of consumption is here, and what they can buy with the money. They have nothing here. I know, I only know that this one hundred is just a string of numbers displayed on the identity card.

"If it is based on the consumption level before the end of the world, we have a total of 21 people, and the total is two thousand hundred yuan. It is estimated that we should be able to rent a house. Let's go and take a look."

Everyone agreed with Lu Yuan's point of view, so everyone looked around, and the roads around the entire factory area were very complicated. The heights are scattered, and there are even some corners, so after discussing it, they decided to use the park they came before as their search center. A group of several people would look around to find out about renting or buying a house.

"Grandpa and grandma, you can go with us."

Lu Yuan turned to look at his grandparents, and the two hurriedly walked over.

Looking up at the time in the sky, there are still two hours and ten minutes before the blackout, Lu Yuan said after a moment of contemplation.

"Everyone comes here to meet in an hour. Don't go too far. And you must protect yourself."

After explaining the matter, everyone began to disperse, and the 21-person team was divided into five groups, each moving toward five roads.

Lu Yuan and Xiaoshan supported their grandparents.

"It looks like a residential area in front of me, or let's go there and take a look."

Lu Yuan pointed at the rows of three-story buildings in the distance and said.

Xiaoshan nodded silently, grandparents didn't have any comments, so the four of them took a step towards the residential area.

Except for the passing vehicles, there was no pedestrian on the way, the sky was blowing constantly with sand and dust, and the surrounding temperature was very high. Lu Yuan took out his own multi-function watch and tested the temperature, only to find that the temperature here has reached 28 degrees.

At this time, almost everyone was still wearing heavy cotton clothes. After a short walk in this weather, they were already sweating.

"It's too hot. Let's take a break first."

Lu Yuan looked at the panting grandparents, and then looked at the distance. The place was so close at hand. If you want to pass, you have to detour. The roads here basically have no branch lines. It is a variety of curves and interchanges, a little carelessness may spare a long way.

But grandma shook her head and refused.

"Forget it, let's keep going, the old man and I are not tired."

"Yes, don't worry about us, we can keep up with your pace, you just go forward, don't delay our time because of the two of us."

Lu Yuan had no choice but to take off his heavy cotton-padded clothes and put them in a backpack. Xiaoshan and grandparents also took off their own cotton-padded clothes, and the four of them continued to move forward.

It took another twenty minutes or so to finally reach the gate of the community. The gate of the community was completely empty. There was only an intelligent robot on duty in front of the gate, and the whole body of the robot was covered by radioactive dust falling from above. It became dark, only the eyes glowed with red light.

"Do not enter without permission."

The robot made an electronically synthesized sound, and raised the gun in its hand and pointed it at the land far away, signaling them to retreat beyond the red line."I went. I didn't expect that robot management has already begun in this community. It seems that we can't get in."

"Yes, why don't we look around the outside of this community? We should be able to find some kind of intermediary."

So Lu Yuan took his family around in the community, but he couldn't find a storefront. The entire outer wall was poured with solid concrete, and even a layer of plaster was not applied.

"Why don't you even have a storefront, can it be said that outsiders in this place can't live?"

Everyone didn't know, Yu Luyuan raised his head and glanced at it for less than 30 minutes.

"Can't delay any longer, go back and see if the others have gained!"

So he took his grandparents and walked back.

Everyone came back one after another, sweating profusely, taking off their heavy clothes.

"How? Are there any results?"

Zhou Tong shook his head, then took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it.

"I just went there for a walk with Xiaochen, and found that there are almost all industrial areas here, not even a residential area. Our trip was a waste of time. How about you?"

Lu Yuan also shook his head.

"The same situation. We all found a residential area, but there is a robot guarding the door. If you rush in, you may be shot directly, so we didn't dare to go in."

Then Lu Yuan turned his gaze at the others, and everyone's faces had a look of nothing.

"Does it mean that renting and buying a house are not allowed here? How do we live?"

Hangeul's hair was wet with sweat, she slapped her own hair, and then took out her mobile phone and opened a picture to show it in front of everyone.

"I didn't find any place to live, but I found a news about currency."

"Oh, let me see!"

Lu Yuan quickly took a look at his mobile phone. The picture was a warning sign with various regulations written on it.

"Private buying and selling is not allowed in the industrial zone. If anyone is found to be buying and selling privately, they will be expelled from the underground fortress."

"Except for the injured people who ask for leave, no one is allowed to appear in the houses of the industrial zone during the day, otherwise they will be punished. The injured can go to the system for registration, and they can return to their homes for repairs after the review is completed. "

"The information on the ID card and the amount of consumption will arrive in the account on time with the salary every day. It is only allowed to be used in the exporting jurisdiction and cannot be used for private transactions."

"..."

After reading the content on the picture, Lu Yuan was not only depressed.

"Damn, daddy originally thought that we could use our food to exchange some money. I didn't expect that private transactions are not allowed here, and can only be consumed on their occasions. Now we want to find a house or use real objects. It is basically impossible to exchange it."

There was a trace of depression on Han Wen's face.

"Yes, the money is nothing more than a string of numbers, and it can only be consumed in their area. It seems that if you want to spend in other areas, you need to deduct a part of the tax."

After that, everyone became silent, each of them lowered their eyebrows, not knowing what to say.

After a moment of silence, Lu Yuan thought that he could no longer waste time, because there were only forty minutes left before the power outage.

"Let’s find a place to stay first, otherwise, it’s not a matter of staying outside forever. If you have any new discoveries, please report here quickly."

At this time, Wang Mingming brought his Little Sister to the front, with a hint of timidity on his face.

"Just... we found a piece of news, I don't know if it's useful or not."

Hearing what the other party said, Lu Yuan hurriedly pulled him over: "Say, what is the matter, we can't delay our time now, you have to integrate into our collective as soon as possible."

"Oh, that's the case. I seem to have found a place similar to an intermediary office over there. I don't know if I can go there."

"Oh? And the intermediary? Is it far from here? Let's go over now."

Wang Mingming shook his head: "It's quite far away. I just saw the place that I walked with Little Sister for about forty minutes. It would take at least one or two hours to walk over."

Then the other party took out a mobile phone whose screen had been broken into flowers from his pocket, and unfolded the picture, only to see a picture displayed on the screen which was slightly blurred and was taken by zooming in.

"Introduction to the Ninth Avenue in the Industrial Zone."

"Do you remember this place?"

Wang Mingming nodded vigorously.

"Well, remember this place. Let's go again tomorrow. The most important thing is to find a safe place right away. It's about to be a major power outage. We may be in danger."

Everyone suddenly became nervous, because each of them carried an own package, which contained some food. If it was discovered by the workers in the factory, it would undoubtedly bring them a lot of money. crisis.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and everyone kept moving forward along this road. Along the way, they left the factory in the industrial zone. There was no place, and occasionally they could see the mobile residential area, but there was no exception at the door. There are robot guards.

"Damn it, after walking for so long, we don't even have a place to stay. Could it be that we are camping here?"

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth, looked around, raised his head and glanced at the countdown in the sky. There were less than ten minutes left, and there was a casting factory right in front of them.

"Wait a minute, I'll find out."

After that, Lu Yuan walked forward quickly, and the security guard at the door seemed to be packing his own things.

"Uncle, let me ask you something."

Lu Yuan eagerly walked up to ask.However, the security guard didn't seem to want to pay attention to Lu Yuan, he was still packing his own things, and from time to time he would look up at the clock on the desk.

"Uncle, I want to ask, is there an agency or a place where I can find a place to live near here?"

The other party waved his hand a little impatiently: "No, you can go to the border of the nine districts to take a look, there are places you need to find over there."

After that, he bowed his head and started to pack his own luggage. At this moment, there are still eight minutes before the power outage.

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth, then with a smile on his face, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed it secretly onto the opponent's desk.

"Uncle, can you show me the road in the border area you just mentioned? We are new here and we are not very familiar with it."

After looking at the cigarette on the table, the other party not only licked the corner of own's mouth, then looked around and found that there was no one, so he quickly put the cigarette into his pocket.

"The place is going straight along this road. It will be there in about 20 minutes, but the power will be cut off right now. You have to speed up, otherwise the robbers who come out at night may put you on your body. Everything is stripped off. Although it won't kill me, it's very cold at night."

The other party's words were very quick, and after speaking, he continued to bury his head and pack his own things.

Lu Yuan saw that the other party was very anxious, so he stopped interrupting, put his own things on his back, and ran to everyone quickly.

"Go, follow me right away, and walk straight along this road. There is a border area over there. It is said that there is a life-saving place. Let's go over and talk about it. Otherwise, we won't be able to do anything else when the power goes out. ."

Everyone immediately wrapped their own back on their shoulders, and followed Lu with a quick step forward.

Or because grandpa and grandma’s steps were a little slow, Lu Yuan could only grit his teeth and carry grandpa on his back, while Xiaoshan carried his grandma behind owner, and the two of them hurriedly led everyone towards the border area. run.

The time in the sky was shortening minute by minute, as if something was chasing everyone, Lu Yuan ran all the way with his grandfather on his back, a fierce wind pierced his ears, his head was covered with All kinds of floating dust.

A voice suddenly came from the sky.

"There are still 59 seconds, 58 seconds before the power outage. Please be ready to go home and protect your own personal safety. I wish you a good night."

Then the countdown continued. Lu Yuan looked into the distance. There was no sign on the side of the road. They didn't know how long they were going to run, but Lu Yuan felt that his lungs were about to burn, and the people behind him were even more embarrassed. One by one, he supported the slower people around him.

With a "click", the sky suddenly became dark, and the surrounding air suddenly became tense.

Countless flashlights started to light up like fireflies, and then huffed, and a group of people rushed out of an iron gate just in front of them when it opened.

They didn’t carry anything extra, only a stick in their hands, and some even picked up half of a brick, thus blocking the entire road and the factory behind them. Everyone carried them on their heads. A headlamp.

"Block the factory door for me, no one is allowed to run away."

A rugged male voice sounded, and Lu looked far away, only to see a man standing on top of a pile of rubble, holding an iron rod in his hand and shouting commands at the surrounding boys.

Lu Yuan and everyone's hearts suddenly sank to the bottom.

"Unexpectedly, it was a step too late!"

Just thinking about it, suddenly there was a noise from the door, and then dozens of people immediately surrounded them, waving sticks in their hands, pushing and shoving the two of them to the ground.
