- 210, scalpers, meet!
After the separation of ordinary people and mutants, especially after the destruction of electricity, transportation and communications by mutants, human gathering places have basically lost their most basic production and circulation capabilities, and can no longer exchange goods and services as before. One of the most direct consequences of this is the serious shortage of various materials, especially the various products that previously needed to be produced in factories.
As a result, many things, especially those that are used less and less and are rarely replenished after use, were immediately put under military control by the military control governments in various places in the name of "strategic materials." Ordinary The public cannot enjoy it, but only a small poke at the superior rulers to enjoy the glory of the end.
As for what to do when these limited items are used up? How could a ruler think so much about having wine today and getting drunk today, worrying about tomorrow and worrying about tomorrow? Let’s enjoy it first.
Among all controlled products, gasoline, an "industrial blood" that is limited, complex, and inaccessible to ordinary people, is naturally listed as the primary controlled product, except for military vehicles and some cars of the privileged class. Except for the use of official cars, ordinary people are unable to purchase them.
Of course, in order not to look ugly and cause public outrage and riots, the authorities will also let a small part of the gasoline reserve flow out to do "people's livelihood" projects. For example, send it from Wushan to Shuangqing twice a day, or once every two days, or even There are one trains every day, and they are sent from Wushan to surrounding districts and counties connected to Wushan, so that the people in the jurisdiction can circulate and migrate with other human gathering places on a limited basis.
In addition, if ordinary people want to get gasoline and drive away in their own private cars, they have no choice but to go to the black market and buy "black market gasoline" at ridiculously high prices.
"But the so-called "black market gasoline", a discerning person will know at a glance that it is something created by some privileged people in the government with the purpose of making high profits like drugs.
After wandering around the long-distance station square filled with people waiting for the bus for a week, and asking a few people by the way, Wang Huan got a general idea of ??the situation at the station, and his mood couldn't help but become heavy.
Not to mention the fare that is as high as 2,000 yuan, which is 10 times more than usual. The key lies in the number of buses arranged by the authorities. There are only two buses every day. Even if a hundred people are crammed into one bus, only 200 people have the chance to leave every day. Wushan.
Now there are at least two thousand people waiting for the bus in the square, and most of them want to go to Shuangqing. Even if you don’t count the new passengers who come later, Wang Huan will start queuing up from now on. , when it's his turn, it will probably be ten days later.
Wang Huan naturally has no time to waste in the small county town of Wushan. Not to mention ten days, if he stayed for one more day, he might be discovered by the enemy and fall into unknown danger.
After solving the three tails, on the way to the bus station, Wang Huan, who was extremely vigilant, sorted out the entire incident from beginning to end. After that, some vague things appeared in his exquisite heart. It gradually became clear:
"I am just a passer-by in Wushan. I have no relatives here and it is impossible to have anything to do with anyone. So who is following me? Why is he following me? I think of myself carrying a password box. From the VIP of the coin exchange Walking out of the hall, as well as the looks of some people around him when he took out the nearly four million three-pole beast crystal, some things are self-evident - money touches people's hearts in this doomsday and troubled world, not to mention four million. , even if it’s 40,000, I’m afraid many people are desperate and will take risks and directly take cruel measures, right?”
After thinking about it, Wang Huan already understood that in the eyes of some people, he had become a "little boy holding gold", a "big fat sheep" with enough profit and profit, and who had the courage and ability to do it? What about killing his fat sheep? Based on previous experience, it’s just black and white.
With his current state of being carefree and bold, he doesn't pay attention to ordinary black and white methods at all - even if he can't beat him, he can still use the ring space to disappear directly, and it will be over.
But being remembered for no reason is a kind of trouble after all, and he is a person who is extremely afraid of trouble, and he has a lot to do. Therefore, if he can leave as early as possible and cause less trouble, there is no need to stay long. Go down.
And if you want to leave, you could take a boat, train or car in the past, but now the only way is to take a bus. The distance from Wushan to Shuangqing is 600 to 700 kilometers, and even taking a bus would take more than ten hours, so walking or riding a bicycle is not realistic.
"It seems that we have to think of something special," Wang Huan thought to himself as he looked at the dark crowd in front of him.
"Brother, do you want to go to Shuangqing?" At this moment, a young man with a sinister look came over and whispered to Wang Huan.
“?Bull party? "Wang Huan's first reaction was to meet the ticket scalpers from his previous life. However, in the current situation, if anyone can really get the tickets, he wouldn't mind letting him earn some hard money.
Wang Huan nodded to the ticket seller: "Why, do you have a ticket?"
"There are no more tickets for the morning class, and all the tickets have been sold out. There are two more tickets for the afternoon." As he said that, he secretly pulled out two tickets from his pocket and showed his corner to Wang Huan.
"How much does one cost?"
"Ten thousand for one piece. If you want both, I can give you a 10% discount, so a total of 18,000 will be enough."
"Ten thousand?" Wang Huan's eyes widened and he looked at the vulgar-looking ticket seller in front of him in disbelief, "The station only sells tickets for 2,500, and you want to sell them for 10,000? You might as well just go and grab them."
"Shhh, brother, please keep your voice down." The ticket seller looked around and hurriedly told Wang Huan to be silent. Then he looked at Wang Huan with a bitter look on his face, "Hey, brother, you can't say anything else. You can see how tense the tickets are now." Yes, there are two flights to Shuangqing every day, and each class only sells 50 tickets. Only a few tickets can be released. The two tickets in my hand are also managed up and down, thank God Worship, I got it with great difficulty. Don’t look at me selling 10,000 yuan to you, just think how much I earned. You may not believe it, but what you got in your hands is only a few hundred dollars."
Naturally, Wang Huan would not believe that ticket dealers only make a few hundred dollars in profit from each ticket. This guy is obviously raising prices and taking advantage of the situation, and he must be colluding with the managers in the station, and the last group of people will share the spoils together.
Although Wang Huan was not short of ten thousand or twenty thousand yuan, he was not willing to be slaughtered as a fat sheep by these scalpers. Even if he had no choice but to be slaughtered, he also hoped that the slaughter would not be so brutal, so he pretended to be reluctant, but He looked helpless and said to the ticket seller: "Forget it, it's too expensive, I can't afford it. You'd better find someone else." After saying that, he made a show of leaving.
"Hey, brother, don't leave. The price is negotiable. How much are you willing to pay?" Seeing that Wang Huan was extremely interested, the ticket seller hurriedly called to Wang Huan. This morning, he wandered around the square for two hours, but he didn't meet anyone who was interested in the tickets in his pocket, or he was interested in the tickets. But when he heard about the high price of tens of thousands, he immediately turned around and left. . Now I have finally met someone who seems to be able to pay, and that means I won't give up easily.
So, Wang Huan and the scalpers began to bargain back and forth, and finally settled at a high price of 7,500 pieces.
"Hey, brother, I have never met someone who haggles like you. I really can't make much money from your ticket. By the way, do you really only want one?" Seeing that only one was sold, The ticket sellers were somewhat unwilling.
“I’m alone, why should I buy two tickets?”
"Okay, if you still need it, just come to me directly. I'm basically here in this square all day long. As long as you mention the God of Votes, everyone nearby will know about it." After saying that, the scalper who calls himself the "God of Votes" Then left. Then, Wang Huan saw him walking towards other passengers and started a new lobbying.
With the ticket in hand, Wang Huan began to feel at ease after buying the ticket calmly. There are still nearly two hours before the next bus. Since there is still more time, he plans to find a place to eat nearby.
There is a stall selling snacks in the waiting room. Wang Huan found an empty table, ordered a large bowl of rice noodles, and began to eat slowly. Halfway through eating, I felt as if someone not far away had been staring at me.
Wang Huan's heart tightened, and when he turned around to look, he relaxed instantly. It turned out that the person staring at him was none other than the mother and daughter riding a bicycle that they saw at the checkpoint yesterday afternoon.
——————————————
After Ning Xueying and her daughter Ning Guoguo rode to Wushan County, they rode straight to the Wushan Long-distance Bus Station.
Like Wang Huan, the mother and daughter also planned to take a bus to Shuangqing.
But after arriving at the station, Ning Xueying was dumbfounded when she saw the crowds of passengers waiting for the bus in the square - there were so many people, and she didn't know that they would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to get their turn.
To make matters worse, Ning Xueying only had more than 2,300 in cash. Ning Xueying was even more heartbroken when she heard that a ticket to Shuangqing cost 2,000 yuan. Because this means that after the ticket, she only has three hundred yuan with her.
??Three hundred yuan, if it was just for food in the past, the mother and daughter could live frugally and eat for ten or eight days, which would not be a problem.
But the current situation is that even a bowl of ordinary noodles costs forty, fifty, or three hundred yuan, so you can only buy seven or eight bowls of noodles.
"Guoguo, please bear with me until dawn tomorrow, Mom"??Just buy you a bowl of noodles to eat, okay? "Seeing her daughter staring directly at some passengers eating around her and swallowing her saliva from time to time, Ning Xueying felt extremely uncomfortable. But in order to survive these seven or eight days of hardship, she had to save money and save money. Don't spend money easily until the most critical moment.
"Well, Mom, don't worry about Guoguo, Guoguo is not hungry." The little girl was very sensible. She tilted her watermelon head and glanced at Ning Xueying, who was haggard and turned pale from hunger, and said softly. Then, he turned his head to the passengers who were eating, swallowing occasionally, as if he could share it with them through his eyes.
After hearing what the girl said, Ning Xueying felt even more uncomfortable. She held Ning Guoguo in her arms, kissed the back of the girl's head with her dry lips, and whispered to Nanni in an inaudible voice: " Daughter, my mother is useless, and it will be very painful for you."
Suddenly, the eyes of the girl in her arms lit up, she pointed with her chubby little hand, turned to Ning Xueying who was holding her and said softly: "Mom, look, the brother who is making faces is eating there."
