No matter when or where, the desire to compare is always with us.
On the one hand, people laugh at others' unhappy lives, but on the other hand, they envy others for living better than themselves.
This mentality never seems to be satisfied.
At this time, the convoy slowly drove into the base, and the people in the square consciously made way.
Suddenly, Chen Bufan asked curiously, "What are they selling over there?"
He noticed that there were many cages placed in a prominent position in the square, each containing one or several people.
Most of these people are women, a few are men, they are all young, and all of them are handsome and beautiful.
In addition, there are several cages filled with coal men with shiny dark skin, which are very eye-catching.
Several strong men stood beside the cages and loudly introduced the people in the cages.
Liu Lei followed Chen Bufan's line of sight and replied, "Those are human traffickers. They specialize in capturing people from other regions, including Kunlun slaves and Silla maids. After the apocalypse, many people have exposed their special hobbies. They like all kinds of things."
In this doomsday world, without the constraints of order, everything becomes rationalized.
The strong are king, and the weak can only submit to the strong.
This base surrounds the entire county with a wall, forming a relatively closed environment.
There are both high-rise buildings and ordinary houses here. Schools, hospitals and other facilities are all available. Except for the lack of resources and food, there is no difference from usual.
Along the way, Chen Bufan witnessed with his own eyes the difficult situation the survivors were facing.
These people are all pale and thin, and can only rely on nutritionless food to fill their stomachs every day. Even eating enough is a problem, not to mention luxury items like drinking water.
With such harsh living conditions, it is naturally impossible for the body to be healthy.
When walking on the street, every once in a while you can see someone suddenly fall to the ground and no longer breathe.
Chen Bufan also noticed that there were several sneaky figures, who were frantically dragging the fallen people away. As for where they were dragging the people to and what they were going to do with them, Chen Bufan had a rough idea in his mind.
After all, similar things happened just one month after the doomsday, not to mention that it has been more than a year since the doomsday broke out?
A pungent smell permeated the hot air, and the whole world seemed to be dyed yellow.
Plants are withering across large areas due to severe water shortage, but most of them are eaten by the hungry survivors.
Under Liu Lei's guidance, Chen Bufan rented a small courtyard with food, and temporarily had a place to stay and settled down.
Afterwards, Liu Lei and his sister returned to the place where they lived with their friends with the generous rewards they got from Chen Bufan. However, after going out for a while, all their friends were gone, and only the two of them were left.
"Brother..." Liu Jia felt sad as he looked at the house where he lived with Sister Yue and Sister Xiaohua.
Liu Lei patted his sister's head and said nothing. He was sad as well. He had finally found a few trusted partners, but now he and his sister were the only ones left to depend on each other. He was afraid that life would be even more difficult in the future.
At this time, the gate of the Los Angeles base was crowded with people and extremely noisy.
The staff in charge of registration at the door was very busy today. The computer on the table was registering new people's information, and there were a lot of things piled up in the place where supplies were placed next to it.
Because there are so many people coming into the city today, and most of them are strangers, she registers here every day, and there are very few unfamiliar faces in the past few months.
Could it be that these people have heard of the good reputation of this place from other places and came here because of its reputation?
In fact, these seemingly ordinary "survivors" are actually soldiers under Chen Bufan's command.
Shortly after Li Wenyin left with the RV, they stopped the car not far from the Los Angeles base.
Afterwards, many soldiers disguised as ordinary survivors filed out of the RV and headed towards the Los Angeles base.
In order to make themselves look more like real survivors, the soldiers put on elaborate makeup.
Their skin was painted black, their hair was greasy, and their bodies were covered in dirt and blood.
Even the clothes have been specially treated, looking worn and old, and emitting a sour smell of sweat.
Among them are both men and women, and most of them are of small stature.
There were more than 300 soldiers in total. They integrated into the crowd in a natural and real way, and entered the city little by little with other survivors over a few days, rather than coming all at once.
Chen Bufan and Li Wenyin discussed it and decided to secretly send people into the base in batches. There is strength in numbers, and it will be more convenient to investigate things. If there are any accidents, there will be enough manpower to deal with them.
Not only in the city, there are people lurking outside the city, searching for monster nests.
After Li Wenyin arrives at the location, the base will be deployed and the soldiers in the base will clear out the zombies around the base, and then disperse to the cities near the Los Angeles base to wipe out ordinary zombies.
When the gossipy woman has no more corpses to use, let’s see where she will run to.
Chen Bufan was sitting in the living room of the rented courtyard. Through the positioning function of his watch, he knew that the people arranged by Li Wenyin had already entered the base, and there were even people lurking in the city ruins in every direction around the base.
Use watches to send messages to people in the base, asking them to lurk in various places in the base, quietly pay attention to news of missing people, and closely monitor places where people are more likely to go missing.
After everything was arranged, I took out two boxed lunches and a roast duck from the system space to fill my stomach.
He was chewing a duck leg in his mouth and thinking about something.
There are many cities and counties surrounding the Los Angeles base. If we want to quickly clean them up and achieve significant results in a short period of time, the existing 10,000 soldiers are obviously far from enough.
After all, the fortress base had to be guarded, and his family lived there.
If a part of the troops were left behind for defense, then the remaining several thousand people would not be able to cause any trouble at all.
Not to mention the big cities, even the number of zombies in the surrounding counties is at least hundreds of thousands in each county.
Therefore, the only way is to use the points again to buy more soldiers.
With the existing resource output in his small world and the material reserves accumulated over the past year or so, he is fully capable of easily feeding a hundred thousand soldiers without having to worry about food supply issues.
However, he currently has only more than 10,000 soldiers under his command.
Even the vegetables from the vegetable garden are chopped in large quantities every day to feed the fish and ducks in the lake and the chickens in the mountains.
Every day the soldiers had to spend a long time going to the mountains to pick up chicken eggs and to the lake to pick up duck eggs.
So he is not afraid of having too many people. He did not increase the number to 10,000 before because it was enough, but now it is not enough.
Chen Bufan made up his mind and switched to the system's redemption page in his mind.
