Chapter 324 This is Cigarette

"What do you want a map for? I am a living map. Every street in Moscow, and even every inch of soil in the surrounding [-] kilometers, has my footprints." Old Paul patted his chest and recommended himself to Tang Zheng. "This is not bragging. Go and find out. With these excellent ears, how many places have I traveled?"

"Come on, now as long as you are an adventurer over the age of 30, you are familiar with every terrain in the surrounding area of ​​more than 100 miles." A wasteland resident with a tattered AM47 came to Tang Zheng's side, and said something to old Paul. , laughed and said, "No way, the edible food in the city and suburbs has long been removed, so we can only go further afield to pick up waste."

"Get lost." Little Paul got annoyed immediately when he saw someone robbing the business, and threatened him with his pistol.

"Ha, you are so courageous, are you willing to give up that bullet? If you have the ability to shoot it here!" The adventurer smiled playfully, and pointed to his forehead, not caring about Little Paul's threat at all.

"Don't talk nonsense, all I want is a map!" Tang Zheng's tone was very cold, making the adventurers who were close to him froze.

"That torn piece of paper is very expensive, but I happen to have one for military use, ten bottle caps, or three hundred rounds of 7.62mm bullets." The guy frowned, showing a very reluctant look, and took out the A dark map.

Without Tang Zheng's hands, Ying Shangwu had already picked it up, glanced at it, and threw it in his face.

"Take a civilian map as a supplement, do you want to die?"

Lu Fan pulled out the revolver stuck in his waist and aimed at him, "Get lost, or I'll make a hole for you!"

"Civilian maps are not easy to deal with either." Before the liar finished speaking, a bullet slashed his forehead, and now he didn't dare to talk nonsense, grabbed the map that fell on the ground, and left quickly.

After this episode, those guys who wanted to cheat and swindle immediately restrained a lot.

"I need a guide, but I trust my eyes more, and some plans also need military maps, so old Paul, find me a seller." A sneer appeared at the corner of Tang Zheng's mouth, "Don't say no."

"Commander, this is very difficult. Even before the war, there were very few military maps, let alone more than 100 years later, and no one made them. A bad map is a map, and some are treasured. Get up." Old Pavel was troubled.

"Is there no Iron Council? Is there no black market?" Qin Yan looked at the streets and noticed that the entertainment venues were still very lively.

Those single adventurers don't know if they can survive the next time they go out to scavenge, so in addition to buying weapons, they just go to the bar to enjoy life.

"Yes, but it's not only expensive, but it's also missing corners." Sholokhov was not optimistic about Tang Zheng's thoughts, "Give up, even those large armed forces use civilian maps to make do."

"It's usually available in the barracks, right? Why don't you just find it yourself." Pang Meiqin tried to show value, but was refuted when she opened her mouth.

"All the military camps near Moscow have been turned over countless times. They are the favorite places for scavengers. Who wouldn't want to find the arsenal?" Little Paul felt that this woman had no brains, "If the map is for this purpose ,give up."

"Here, this is my home."

This is already the west area on the second floor, and what appeared in front of everyone was a cave dwelling. After opening the wooden door and entering, a sense of narrowness and narrowness immediately rushed over, making people feel oppressed.

This should be the living room, utility room and kitchen, full of all kinds of messy items, even a toilet.

"It's only thirty square meters!" Lu Fan wrinkled her nose, and a stench wafted in the air. She stood on tiptoe and glanced at the back room. The area was even smaller, and there would be no room for a bed. A woman was sitting on the ground making crossbow arrows. Next to her was a thin eleven or twelve-year-old girl who was sharpening a rusty saber on the whetstone. She probably heard the movement outside and raised her head secretly. I looked around, but didn't dare to come out.

"Hey, this is a house worth a thousand bottle caps. It is our greatest dream to build cave dwellings in the West District." Old Paul didn't notice the disdain and disgust in the eyes of the female models at all, and he looked proud Showing off, "My dad and I have saved bottle caps for more than 20 years."

"More than 20 years?" The female models cried out in shock like cats whose tails were stepped on. They were self-aware, but they didn't think they were more capable of living than old Paul.

"Then is it enough to save 1? Wouldn't it take 150 years?" The faces of several female models turned pale.

"1? Don't think about it, wait for your grandson to realize this dream!" Little Paul put down his weapon and went to find his sister. He had no idea how much impact his unintentional words had on the newcomers.

"Then where did you live before?" Pang Meiqin would rather live in a tent than stay here.

"Northern District, if you pay five bottle caps a month, you can buy five square meters, and you can build tents and so on." Old Paul rubbed his hands and cursed, "Damn woman, there are guests, why don't you come here?" Light a fire, it's freezing to death."

Ever since he entered the house, old Paul had a happy smile on his face. Even if he was cursing, he was not angry. He wanted to show his hospitality and respect to Tang Zheng and others.

"I didn't expect that in the post-nuclear war world, housing prices would not only be higher, but also worse, and make people die!" Gao Yu, an ordinary worker, couldn't help but sighed when he heard this, and the corners of Tang Zheng's mouth twitched a little. It's not that he has diamonds, he is also a hard worker who wants to exchange points for RMB.

"It's too crowded here, can I rent a house?" Pang Meiqin's words were echoed by the female models.

"Go to the North District, or stay in a hotel, but you people will definitely spend five bottle caps, and I only need two." Old Paul didn't think about environmental problems at all. After the anti-mask showed their pretty faces, they were immediately amazed, and only then did they understand what they disliked, and their expressions were unavoidably embarrassing.

"My house is clean enough, unless you go to stay on the third floor." Old Paul was still trying to persuade these residents to stay.

"It doesn't matter, just find a house on the second floor." Tang Zheng has many things that are not convenient for outsiders to know, so he has to find a place to live.

"Okay, you send someone, and I'll take him to the police station to handle the rental procedures." Old Paul sighed and gave up struggling.

"Tantai, Gao Yu, you guys go, be careful on the road." Tang Zheng threw over the five bottle caps that had just been warmed up. The two did not refuse, and followed old Paul to the street with their rifles in their arms.

Ten minutes later, Tang Zheng and his entourage moved into a house similar to old Paul's. There was no furniture, and there was a rotten and damp smell. After stepping on it a few times, an inch-thick dust flew all over the place.

"Don't stand still, start cleaning." Lu Fan quickly took out his gloves and mask, put them on, and then took out other tools and gave them to the female models to supervise their work. "If you don't do it well, you won't have anything to eat."

"There should be someone recruiting members here?" Tang Zheng stood on the street, took out a cigarette and handed it to Old Paul, "Don't worry, I will continue to invite you as a guide."

"Cigarettes?" Old Paul was overwhelmed immediately, and almost stared out his eyes. This is a luxury accessory, a pack of ten bottle caps. After catching the cigarettes, his hands trembled uncontrollably. In this life, he Only smoked one butt.

"No, don't light it." Seeing Tang Zheng handing over the lighter, Old Paul hurriedly refused, and then carefully stuffed the cigarette into his clothes. He wanted to enjoy it slowly when he got home.

Gao Yu laughed, and then choked on a puff of smoke, but the old Paul didn't care, took a deep breath quickly, smelled the second-hand smoke in the air, and then showed an expression on his face as if he had ascended to heaven.

"Beautiful, so delicious."

"It's too miserable." Lu Fan couldn't help shivering seeing old Paul's intoxicated appearance.

"Usually join the group at the bar. I know a few group leaders with pretty good personalities." Old Paul frowned and said, "Do you want to join the group? Yes, if you want to live permanently, you should familiarize yourself with the terrain first. Go it alone."

"Tang Zheng, without water and firewood, how do you cook?" Qin Yan was like a housewife, worrying about making a living, "Can't we always use our reserves?"

"Local residents have water tickets, and they can fetch a limited amount of water every day. You homeless people have to buy it." Old Paul stepped forward and said quickly, "But I still have some water at home, you can use it first."

"No." Lu Fan refused, and pulled Qin Yan to the corner, whispering, Little Lolita's Alice apron came in handy again, she brought thousands of gallons of pure water, everyone took a shower It's not a problem. Of course, it will take two or three months at most. There is no way, because no one thought that this mission would be so long.

"Let's go, take us to the bar." Tang Zheng told Qin Yan a few words, then pulled old Paul away.

"Hey, what are they spraying into the house again? It smells so good." Old Paul was reluctant to let go, and he suddenly found that these people took out various items from their backpacks.

"Air freshener." As soon as Gao Yu finished speaking, he came to his senses and closed his mouth.

"What's that?" Old Paul was puzzled, then he looked at the little loli who was eating hazelnuts, swallowed, and asked, "That red one is a sausage, but what is that black one? Plastic The packaging is beautiful."

"Chocolate, please help me, I'll give little Molly a few dollars." Tang Zheng looked at Tantai and said with a smile, "Do you have anything to ask?"

"Even if the conditions are difficult, after more than 100 years, you should be able to grow some crops and develop agriculture, right?" Tantai looked at the dilapidated and dirty streets, and those lifeless and hopeless faces, very surprised, "It shouldn't be like this ah?"

"Hey, it's not like there isn't a good government, just an organization like the Iron Council, which doesn't care about ordinary people's lives." Old Paul looked lonely, "Seeds are easy to find, and some people took risks to get those radiations before." It was planted in a small place, but as soon as it was harvested, someone else came to snatch it. Not to mention that the crops could not be kept, and it might even cost their lives. As time passed, no one would do such thankless things anymore. "
