Chapter 82: Spiritual Awakening

While drinking fresh milk, Lin Qi turned on the biological computer and checked the information in the safe zone.

After roughly understanding the purchasing power of three thousand points, Lin Qi learned the specific situation.

An ordinary survivor who wants to eat three meals a day only needs three points.

Helping to build the city wall outside the safe zone can earn five points a day. These are only necessary daily necessities, and they also need to be redeemed with points, so most people can only struggle to fill their stomachs.

A bottle of first-level genetic fluid requires one thousand points. Except for those survivors who bring a large amount of supplies into the safe zone, few people can exchange it for the genetic fluid.

Of course, in addition to selling labor power, other things can be sold.

After breakfast, the two of them left the villa and walked outside with their identity cards in their arms.

If you want to live in the safe zone, you must understand the rhythm of life here. The points in your hand can also purchase some urgently needed items.

Separated by a wall, the survivors at the bottom had already begun to work hard for the day's survival. After the work horn sounded in the morning, some people had already left the safe area and were working hard in the ruins.

The two followed the steel wire mesh all the way to the outermost temporary gate.

During this period, I met other survivors. These people did not have any panic at the end of the world. Instead, they seemed to be taking a leisurely walk.

There are two soldiers guarding this gate, and there is a special machine in front of it.

"Brothers, we are new here and don't know much about this place. Do we need to swipe our ID cards?"

The machine in front of the gate looks very much like a subway card swiping machine, so it should have the same effect.

"Yes, this can identify you, and only those who own a residence here can enter."

Lin Qizhen nodded, took out his silver card and swiped it on the machine. He heard a beep, the identity recognition was successful, and the information he recorded last night appeared on the screen.

Tuan Tuan also brushed his hands, following closely after Lin stood up.

The door opened, and under the watch of the two soldiers, the two people successfully walked out of the villa area.

As soon as they stepped out of the door, they saw several people rushing over quickly, blocking their steps.

"Two handsome guys and beauties, give me some points, I haven't eaten in three days!"

A middle-aged man with an unshaven beard rushed directly in front of the two of them, holding a black iron card in his hand and begging bitterly.

Several other people scrambled for the first place, mumbling incomprehensibly, but the overall meaning was that they were obviously on the path of beggars.

People who can come out of the villa area are either rich or noble, and they must have endless points. If they meet a kind-hearted person, they may actually give some charity.

"You guys have hands and feet, why don't you go to work and just wait at the door?"

Lin Qi took Tuantuan and took a step back, but the group of brown candies in front of him seemed to be attached to them and actually surrounded the two of them.

"Handsome guy, you don't know something. I was working on the city wall construction site a few days ago and accidentally slipped my waist. Now I can't use my strength anymore. Moreover, I have an eighty-year-old mother above me and a baby who is waiting for food. My life depends on me. If you can lend me some points, I will pay you back twice as much in the future!”

The man actually started crying as he spoke, but in an instant he was pressed down by his companion beside him.

"My, my, my, my daughter is so pitiful. She hasn't eaten for five days. I've been feeding her with blood for the past two days. If she doesn't eat, she will starve to death!"

They started to cry, each one more miserable than the other.

"Husband, do we want to help them?"

Tuantuan seemed to be moved by such a pitiful description, and the tragic scene automatically appeared in his mind, and he subconsciously held Lin Qi's hand and asked.

Such a concession allowed those people to instantly find a way to break through, and some even crawled over to hug Tuantuan's legs.

"court death!"

If it was just begging, Lin Qi wouldn't pay attention to it, and would even explain the weaknesses of human nature to Tuantuan.

But this guy dared to shamelessly extend his hand, clearly wanting to take advantage.

So he stepped down and stepped directly on his finger.

Just hear a click, the finger bone is broken!

The screams frightened everyone around and dispersed, even the soldiers standing guard at the door were attracted.

"what happened?"

The soldiers asked sternly, but they were directed at the panicked people.

"He hit someone! He killed someone. He stepped on my hand and broke it! You must compensate me!"

The man on the ground was still wailing, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull his hand away. The severe pain made his body twist and bend like a prawn.

"Mr. Lin, no killing is allowed in the safe zone."

The soldier whispered a reminder, stepped forward to disperse the onlookers, and then stood guard next to Lin Qi.

"I know, but every time I go out, I'm surrounded by them. Don't you just care?"

Lin Qi was a little dissatisfied. He encountered such a troublesome thing just the second day after entering the safe zone, but the rules of his territory must still be followed.

"You can hit him a little harder the first time to let them get to know you, so they won't dare to do it next time."

The soldier suggested in a low voice next to Lin Qi. During this time, he saw a group of beggars surrounding him outside and felt very annoyed.

But in the safe zone, you cannot kill people. This is a life-and-death rule. No matter how serious the hatred is, you can only take action after leaving the safe zone.

"Got it, thanks buddy."

Lin Qi could feel the obvious favoritism. The effect of this silver identity card was indeed very significant.

So he pushed his foot hard again, and with a click, the flesh and blood on that hand was squeezed out, and even the bones were broken into slag.

The shrill scream scared the people around him and they fled in panic, no longer daring to have a fluke mentality.

Lin Qi squatted down, picked up the black iron ID card that fell from the other party's hand and took a look.

"Wang Dongjian."

Lin Qi slapped the wailing Wang Dongjian in the face, and the shock effect directly stopped him from screaming, and half of his face swelled up instantly.

This slap was also considered to have brushed the advanced conditions of the skill.

The people on the roadside saw that Lin Qi was not easy to mess with, and they stepped back, and no one dared to step forward.

"Husband, there are so many of them, even if they go out to pick up rags, they can still make a living, why are they all begging here?"

Tuan Tuan was a little puzzled. At this stage, there are still a lot of daily necessities to be found in the ruins near the safe zone, but it just takes some effort.

"Someone must have tasted the sweetness here. There are too many people who want to get something for nothing these days, just like that guy just now. He is so thin that he can't do heavy work."

Lin Qi couldn't even feel pity for such a person. As long as someone survived the zombie virus infection, their genetic strength was stronger than that of ordinary people. As long as they had courage in their hearts, they would at least have the power to protect themselves.

However, after coming out, Lin Qi found a way to quickly upgrade his skills, but now everyone has dispersed, so he can only wait for the next opportunity.

The two crossed the street and soon came to the nearby survivors' residential area. As the crowds subsided, no one cared about the chaos just now.

There were various stalls on the ground on both sides of the street, most of which were supplies found in the ruins, such as watches, necklaces, car keys, expensive clothes, etc., and even bundles of banknotes.

This thing is probably too small to wipe your butt now.

The required points are marked on each commodity, and now the points have completely become a universal currency.

Lin Qi had no desire to buy anything. He didn't need anything at all. Although there were no supplies in the villa, the original configuration was enough for him to move in without adding anything.

However, knowing some of the current market conditions and knowing which things were precious would also help him to search for supplies in the future.

Although Tuantuan didn't buy anything, shopping was also very interesting for her, especially now that she had a lot of money. Those expensive and valuable items in the past only needed one point.

The two walked around three streets in the living area and witnessed the price changes of various items along the way, from the initial street stalls to some people opening stores later, and even selling homemade weapons and other things.

"It's very lively. Many people should be the original inhabitants of the safe zone, and the rest are survivors from outside."

The original inhabitants in the safe zone are undoubtedly the luckiest. At the beginning of the doomsday, they were protected by the federal security and were not even threatened by zombies.

Most of them looked at the downtrodden survivors with a kind of contempt, even though these people only lived dozens of kilometers away before.

"Tuantuan, is there anything you want to buy?"

Lin Qi looked at Tuantuan who had followed him all the way but didn't take the initiative to speak, so he asked.

"No, we have it at home, there's no need to waste points, how about buying a few boxes of that?"

There was a lot of meat in the armored vehicle, and there were also daily necessities, but there were not many safety devices. Thinking of the last time Lin Qi went out to find supplies in the heavy snow, Tuantuan felt sad.

If the family prepared more, there would be no need to rush when the time came.

"I just saw that a box costs ten points. Damn, why is it so expensive!"

That is to say, a laborer can only buy a box if he doesn't eat or drink for two days.

"Then we can use it during the safe period, right?"

Tuantuan's cheeks flushed, and he roughly calculated how long his three thousand points could last.

"I'll go out and find two boxes in two days!"

Lin Qi didn't want to spend this money in vain. At most, he would be a little more careful next time he went out of the city.

After two hours, Lin Qi and Tuan Tuan's points were still integers, and they didn't spend a penny at all. However, he also found that most of the survivors' ID cards here were black iron, and only a few were bronze occasionally, and silver was very rare.

Not to mention the gold ID card like Bai Su, people with that status would never appear in such a place in normal times.

The two returned to the villa, worked in the kitchen for a while, and had a meal. After a simple exercise, they each took a bottle of first-level gene liquid.

"The fifteenth!"

For a long time, every time Lin Qi closed the gene lock, he would sense the changes in himself, and finally found that vague feeling again this time.

Breaking through the limit again, Lin Qi suddenly felt a clear mind, as if he had awakened something, and even the air around him had a sense of quality.

"Is it so powerful to absorb fifteen pills under normal conditions!"

After sighing, he directly opened the first-level gene lock and experienced this indescribable taste.

Suddenly, Lin Qi felt a roar in his head, as if something broke through the confinement and slowly extended out!
