This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 15: Mobilization Order

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!

The sun is already hanging in the sky, it's getting late, and it's definitely too late to go back now.

Chu Guang would rather stay on Beit Street for one night than travel at night.

Having had several unpleasant experiences, he knew all too well how many dangers there were, and it was God's blessing that he could survive.

Chu Guang wrapped the iron pipe rifle he bought in a plastic bag and tied it to the sharpened water pipe behind him. No one could tell that it was a gun from its appearance.

Although Beit Street did not restrict survivors from carrying weapons, Chu Guang did not want the mayor's spies to find out about his private transactions with outside caravans.

Exchange 50g of blue mushroom for 1 point of chips.

It’s a shame these blood-sucking leeches can figure it out!

Go through the gate on Beit Street.

Chu Guang saw a dark circle of people surrounding the door of the recycling bin, including men and women, old and young.

They were in ragged clothes, with sallow complexion and thin skin. They carried woven bags or frames on their backs and plastic buckets or other containers in their hands.

Their daily routine is very simple.

Exchange the collected garbage into chips, and then use the chips to exchange for daily necessities.

"Newly arrived soap! Produced by Boulder City Chemical Factory. With only 3 chips, it can wash away the disgusting odor on your body. Buy one for your wife quickly. There are only 30 of them. , first come first served."

"Cooking oil, no matter what it is made from, it is fresh and good. It is shipped from Brown Farm. It only costs 10 chips per liter... It's a bit expensive, but it's expensive for a reason. You'd better Find someone to give it a try."

"Let me see, by the way, there is also coarse salt! A piece as big as your thumb only costs 5 points... Don't worry about how it came here, do you still want to eat so good? Come and buy it all."

"There are also tobacco leaves, whether you smoke them yourself or use them to smoke meat. They are also good at Brown Farm... Forget it, you can pick yourselves. I will take a break."

Old Charlie shouted lazily at the door, his attitude was not like a businessman at all.

In fact, this is not a business, but more like charity from a master to his servants.

Don't call it Beit Street.

Many things in this five-mile radius can only be purchased here. People living here have no right to choose.

Also, don’t think that five miles is short.

Although Qingquan City is located in the southern Great Plains, it has already become a reinforced concrete cemetery that is more dangerous than the forest...

Old Charlie wiped his sweat and handed over the task of collecting money to the clerk in the store, while he sat aside and squinted his eyes to rest.

At this time, a thin young man wearing a gray coat walked up to the crowd waving a wooden sign in his hand.

"Mobilization order! Mobilization order from the mayor!"

"Before the end of the month, each household must turn in 100 kilograms of firewood and 2 cubic meters of furs."

"Tell each other!"

There was a commotion in the crowd.

There were complaints, but no one came out to resist.

After all, it was the same way in previous years.

Bate Street does not collect taxes, but that does not mean that living here is free. In addition to soft exploitation of trading rights, the town mayor will always collect a batch of supplies in one way or another.

The mobilization order is one of them, which occurs in August and September every year.

What will happen if you refuse to collect?

The punishment is also pretty straightforward.

All men and women over the age of 16 in the settlement, regardless of whether they live alone in separate households, as long as they are not married, are considered to be in one household. After marriage, the two will merge into one household.

If the materials are not handed in, the housekeeper who registers the household will cross out the name of that household from the register, confiscate his shack on Beit Street, and expel him from the survivor stronghold.

In this world where life is thinner than paper, losing your shelter is no different from death.

Especially in the cold winter.

Although Bate Street is not rich, it is very good compared to the Brown Farm next door. At least the survivors living here can still have a little bit of pathetic freedom.

"It seems that the mayor is planning to make another fortune before the last caravan arrives this year, and spend a good year with the exchanged materials."

Chu Guang thought in his heart, but did not take this so-called mobilization order seriously.

He will be out of here before winter.

No one will need to rush him when the time comes, he will leave on his own.

Bypassed the Recycle Bin.

Chu Guang walked straight to his shack, but before he reached the door, he saw Yu Xiaoyu and a man standing at the door, arguing about something.

The man was about 17 or 15 or 17 or 16 years old. He was not tall and was a young man. Chu Guang was not familiar with him, but he only remembered that he seemed to be the third son of the Wang family, and his name was Wang Defu.

His shack is in the far corner of the settlement, diagonally across from the Yu family, and then the Wang family, and he usually doesn't visit there.

I don’t know what happened, but the third child of the Wang family actually found me here.

"Get out of the way."

Wang Defu looked impatient and reached out to push Yu Xiaoyu who was blocking the front. The little girl stumbled backwards, but still opened her arms like a hawk protecting a chicken and did not give in.

"No, this is not your home!"

"It's not your home either."

"But he asked me to help look after the house!"

"What's so interesting about a dead man's home?"

"He's not dead." Yu Xiaoyu stared at him, eyes like goldfish.

"Stop lying, that foreigner hasn't been back for four or five days."

Wang Defu continued impatiently, "Don't you, the Yu family, just want a share of the pie? I have no intention of taking it all by myself. In this way, the beams and the door of the shed belong to me, and you take the rest."

The dead person's house is unoccupied and usually divided among the neighbors.

There is no accurate belief that a person is dead if he does not come back for a few days, but generally if someone does not come back for several days, everyone assumes that he was either captured by slave traders or plunderers, or was picked up by a different species to feed his cubs.

No one can survive several nights in a row.

This is difficult even for experienced hunters.

Yu Xiaoyu bit his lower lip until it turned blue, his eyes stared like a little goldfish, and he refused to move away, but made no other moves.

Wang Defu didn't want to wait any longer. It was time for the men of the Yu family to come back. He couldn't get any benefits by himself, so he was ready to push her away.

However, at this moment, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Who said I was dead?"

Wang Defu's hair trembled all over his body and he jumped to the side, looking at Chu Guang with fearful eyes like a beast. Yu Xiaoyu quickly slipped behind Chu Guang and hid, whispering a report.

"He came yesterday and wanted to demolish your home."

"Thank you."

Chu Guang looked at Wang Defu with a half-smile, and then said.

"Are you going by yourself, or should I send you off?"

Wang Defu knew he was in the wrong and couldn't argue. Then he glanced at the steel pipe on Chu Guang's back with its tip dipped in blood, and finally left silently.

He is not afraid of the Yu family, nor is he afraid of this foreigner, but no one wants to offend a strong man.

Especially since this guy is alone and has no weaknesses at all.

Looking at this man's back, Chu Guang suddenly felt a little sad.

Although some people are alive, they are no different from the hyenas and vultures outside.

He once saw a mutated hyena bite off the neck of its injured companion and eat its flesh. He didn't think much about it at the time, just thinking it was a law of nature, but now he actually feels the same way.

I have only been away for a few days, and these people are already ready to make a move.

Yu Xiaoyu, who was hiding behind Chu Guang, did not leave. She thought that if she waited a little longer, she might be able to eat the candy she had eaten that day.

She had never eaten anything so sweet, and she almost chewed the plastic stick together.

Notice the big eyes looking at me.

Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and realized what was going on. He smiled and took out a forgotten lollipop from his pocket and stuffed it into the little girl's hand.

"I've been troubling you these days."

"No trouble!"

Xiaoyu happily tore open the plastic paper, stuffed the lollipop into his mouth, and said vaguely, "I don't have anything else to do anyway. I can watch over you when you go out."

At this time, the men of the Yu family returned from the direction of the recycling bin carrying their trophies. It can be seen from the bulging packages that they have gained a lot.

Seeing his eldest brother, second brother and father, Xiaoyu hid back in the house.

Earning sweets is just a side job, and keeping an eye on foreign talents is the job assigned to him by his elders. Xiaoyu has not forgotten his elders’ instructions.

However, no matter how fast she moves, she can't be faster than the hunter's eyes.

The head of the Yu family, the old man with a strong physique and wrinkles on his face, glanced at Chu Guang, said nothing, and entered the house with his eldest son carrying two bags of green wheat.

Yu Hu, the second son of the Yu family, stopped in front of Chu Guang.

Chu Guang recognized him.

People here don't pay much attention to me, but this eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy is one of the few people who will take the initiative to talk to him.

It’s just that this man always speaks straightforwardly, just like his name.

"You haven't been here these past few days, I thought you were dead."

Chu Guang said.

"It seems that your intuition is not accurate."

Yu Hu was stunned for a moment, grinned and touched his head.

This foreigner is quite interesting. His way of speaking is different from others, and he always likes to turn a corner.

Not paying attention, he continued.

"I have to tell you that the mayor has just issued a mobilization order, and each household must hand over 100 kilograms of firewood and 2 square meters of fur before the end of the month."

The Yu family has three adult males and needs to pay 300 kilograms of firewood and 6 square meters of furs. It is considered a "big tax payer" on Beit Street.

For the former, it's okay to say that there are vegetation everywhere in the city, and in the outer suburbs heading north, you can see large areas of woodland. Even without the mayor's mobilization order, they still have to cut some back to prepare for the winter.

But the latter is not so easy to deal with. For 6 square meters of fur, at least four or even five mutant hyenas have to be killed.

"I heard about it when I came back."

"That's good."

Yu Hu didn’t mince words and went straight to the point.

"We were discussing with the Li family just now, planning to try our luck in the northern woodland. It is said that there are traces of deer migration there. If we can catch two, not only the skin, but also the meat, do you want to come together? ?"

"It's better not to do it. I'll think of a way myself."

Chu Guang declined politely, but silently made a note of it in his heart.

The scavengers on Beit Street plan to go hunting to the north, and Linghu Wetland Park happens to be a little to the north and west, so I hope they won’t encounter them then.

Of course Yu Hu didn't know what Chu Guang was thinking, so he just thought he was embarrassed and continued to persuade.

"I can see that you are a capable person, but no matter how capable a person is, there are limits. The Wang family's boys dare to bully you because they rely on the strength of numbers."

"Well, my sister will be old enough to get married next year. Why don't you marry her, so that we can be a family."

"If you're in a hurry, it won't hurt to have a wedding tonight."

Chu Guang almost choked at this sentence and coughed.

"No need."

What the hell?

How did the topic jump to this?

Besides, the marriageable age acceptable to these survivors is unacceptable to Chu Guang, who comes from a civilized society.

He is still young and it is too early to get married.

"Hey, that's okay."

Yu Hu didn’t try to persuade him anymore, but expressed his regret in his heart.

The people who come out of the shelter are all very smart, like the old man named Charlie, who has been helping the mayor since he can remember, and is a big shot in the eyes of the neighbors.

Old man Charlie said that Chu Guang also came out of the shelter, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with that. He must have a good head, too.

If he could have a son with his sister, the Yu family might be able to produce a big shot like old man Charlie in the future.

He even made plans to convince his father.

But now it seems that I am being sentimental.

I carried my things back home.

Yu Hu grabbed his sister.

"Xiaoyu, I want to ask you, would you like to marry you to Brother Chu Guang next door?"

The little fish still had a lollipop stuffed in his mouth and cooed.

"Yes."

Anyway, it’s right in front of my home, not far away.

In her eyes, the so-called marriage is just a change of place to sleep, there is no difference, maybe she can get two more pieces of candy.

Yu Hu, who was about to give up at first, said happily.

"Then let me help you persuade him."

"Ouch."

Xiaoyu responded casually, just eating sweets and not caring.

On the other hand, Yu Hu was summing up with great interest.

"Okay, I'll talk to eldest brother and dad, but don't just wait there. When you have time, go to your mother and learn how to pancakes... Give me a taste of whatever you're eating."

"No!"

Seeing that the second brother was trying to grab his candy, Xiaoyu was instantly unhappy. He ducked away and disappeared in a flash.
