This Game is Too Real

Chapter 15: mobilization order

   The sun is already hanging on the horizon. I'm afraid it's too early. It's definitely too late to go back now.

   Chu Guang would rather stay on Beit Street for one night than rush the night away at night.

   He has had several unpleasant experiences, he knows too much about how dangerous it is, and if he survives, it is God's eye-opener.

   Chu Guang wrapped the iron-barreled rifle he bought in a plastic bag and tied it to the sharpened water pipe behind him. From the appearance, no one could tell that it was a gun.

   Although Beit Street did not restrict the survivors from carrying weapons, Chu Guang did not want the mayor's eyeliner to discover that he was trading privately with the caravan outside.

  50g blue umbrella mushroom is exchanged for only 1 point of chips.

   I really can't imagine these blood-sucking leeches!

   Go through the gate of Beit Street.

   Chu Guang saw that the door of the recycling bin was crowded with people, including men and women, old and young.

   They are in ragged clothes, yellowish skinny faces, woven bags or frames on their backs, and plastic buckets or other containers in their hands.

   Their daily routine is very simple.

   Replace the trash picked up with chips, and then use the chips to exchange the necessities of life.

"Newly arrived soap! Produced by the Boulder City Chemical Plant, you can wash away the disgusting odors with only 3 points of chips. Hurry up and buy one and give it to your wife. There are only 30, first. First served."

"Edible oil, regardless of what it is refined, is fresh and good. It is shipped from Brown Farm and only costs 10 points per liter... It is a bit expensive, but there are reasons why it is expensive. You'd better find someone to fight it. ."

   "Let me see, by the way, there is coarse salt! The thumb-big piece only costs 5 points... Don't care how it came, do you still want to eat it? Come and buy it all."

   "There are also tobacco leaves, whether you smoke it yourself or use it for bacon, it is also a Brown Farm...Forget it, you pick it yourself, I'll rest awhile."

   Old Charlie yelled lazily at the door, his attitude was nothing like a business man.

   In fact, this is not really a business, it is more like a charity from the master to the servant.

  Don't say it's Beit Street.

   In this five-mile land, many things can only be bought here, and people who live here do not have the right to choose.

  Also, don’t think five miles is short.

   Although Qingquan City is located in the southern 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 work of collecting money to the clerk in the shop. He sat aside and squinted his eyes to rest.

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

   "The mobilization order! The mayor's mobilization order!"

   "Before the end of the month, each household needs to hand in 100 kilograms of firewood and 2 squares of fur."

   "Tell each other!"

   There was a commotion in the crowd.

   complained, but no one came out to resist.

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

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

   And the mobilization order is one of them, and there will be every August and September.

   As for the refusal to collect, what will happen?

   The punishment is also quite straightforward.

   All men and women over the age of 16 in the colony, regardless of whether they live alone or not, as long as there is no marriage, they are considered to be a single household. After the marriage, the two are in one household.

   If the materials are not handed in, the butler who registered the household registration will remove the name of the household from the register, confiscating his shack on Beit Street, and expelling the survivor’s stronghold.

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

   Especially in the cold winter.

Although    Beit Street is not rich, it is much better than the Brown Farm next door. At least the survivors living here still have a little bit of pitiful freedom.

   "It seems that the mayor is planning to make a fortune before the last caravans arrive this year, and take the materials in exchange for a fat year."

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

  He will leave here before winter.

   When the time comes, no one will rush, he will go by himself.

   bypassed the recycle bin.

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

   The man is about seventeen fifty-six, not tall, he is a teenager. Chu Guang was not familiar with him, but he only remembered that he was the third son of the Wang family and his name was Wang Defu.

   His shack is at the very corner of the settlement, diagonally across from the Yu's family, and then the Wang's, and he usually doesn't come there.

   I don't know what happened, the third child of the Wang family actually found him here.

"Step aside."

   Wang Defu looked impatient, and reached out and pushed Yu Xiaoyu who was in front of her. The little girl staggered back, but still spread her arms like an eagle guarding 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 nice about the dead man's house."

   "He is not dead." Yu Xiaoyu glared at him, eyes like goldfish.

   "Don't lie to others, that outsider hasn't come back for four or five days."

  Wang Defu continued impatiently, "Don't you Yu Family just want to get a share of the pie? I didn't plan to take it alone. In this way, the beam of the shed and this door belong to me, and you take the rest."

   The dead man’s house is unoccupied, and it is usually divided up by the neighborhood.

   There is no quasi believer who says that a person is dead if he doesn't come back for a few days, but usually no one comes back for a few days. Everyone agrees that he was either caught by a slave trader or a predator, or he was taken by a different species to feed the cub.

   No one can survive a few nights outside.

   It is difficult even for experienced hunters.

   Yu Xiaoyu bit her lower lip and turned blue, her eyes staring like a little goldfish, and she didn't let go, but she didn't make any other movements.

  Wang Defu didn't want to wait anymore, and the men from the Yu family should come back any longer. He couldn't get any benefits by himself, so he was going to push her away forcibly.

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

   "Who said I was dead?"

  Wang Defu jumped to the side suddenly, looking at Chu Guang with jealous eyes like a beast. Yu Xiaoyu quickly slipped behind Chu Guang to hide, and whispered a report.

   "He came yesterday and wants to tear down your house."

"thanks."

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

   "Are you going by yourself, or am I sending you?"

  Wang Defu knew that he was wrong, but he couldn't argue, then he glanced at the blood-stained steel pipe on Chu Guang's back, and finally left silently.

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

   Especially this guy is alone and has no weakness at all.

   Looking at this person'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 had seen a mutant hyena, biting off the neck of an injured companion, and sharing its meat. He didn't think too much about it at the time, just treating it as the law of nature, and now he feels a little bit empathetic.

  I just left for a few days, and these people are already ready to move.

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

   She had never eaten something so sweet, and almost even chewed plastic sticks together.

   noticed those big eyes looking at me.

   Chu Guang was taken aback for a moment, and then he recovered what was going on, smiled and took out a lollipop that he had forgotten to eat, and stuffed it into the little girl's hand.

   "I have troubled you these days."

"No trouble!"

   Xiaoyu happily tore through the plastic paper, stuffed the lollipop in his mouth, and said vaguely, "Anyway, I have nothing else to do. When you go out, I can watch it for you."

   At this time, the men of the Yu family came back from the direction of the recycling bin, carrying the trophy. It can be seen from the bulging package that they have gained a lot.

   Seeing his elder brother, second brother and father, Xiaoyu hid in the house in a hurry.

   Earning sugar and eating is just a sideline, and staring at talents from other countries is the job that the elders have given him. Xiaoyu has not forgotten what his elders told him.

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

  The Yu family's parent—the old man with a healthy physique and wrinkled face looked at Chu Guang, and 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 recognizes him.

  The people here don't pay much attention to themselves, and this eighteen or nine-year-old boy is one of the few people who will take the initiative to speak to him.

   It's just that this person always speaks straight, just like his name.

   "You are not here these days, I thought you were dead."

   Chu Guang said.

   "It seems that your instinct is not accurate."

   Yu Hu was taken aback, grinned and rubbed his head.

   This outsider is quite interesting. He speaks differently from others and always likes to turn a corner.

   didn't care, he continued.

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

   There are three adult males in the Yu family, who need to pay 300 kilograms of firewood and 6 square meters of fur. They are considered "big taxpayers" in Beit Street.

  Fortunately, the former is full of vegetation, and large areas of woodland can be seen in the outer suburbs to the north. Even if there is no mobilization order from the mayor, they have to cut some points and go back to prepare for the winter.

   But the latter is not so easy to deal with, 6 square fur must kill at least four, even five mutant hyenas.

   "I heard about it when I came back."

"That's good."

   Yu Hu didn't circumscribe any corners, but went straight back and forth.

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

   "I still can't do it, I think of a way."

   Chu Guang declined gently, but silently remembered it in his heart.

The scavengers on Beit Street plan to go hunting to the north, and Linghu Wetland Park is also a bit west to the north. I hope they won’t encounter them by then.

   Naturally, Yu Hu didn't know what Chu Guang was thinking. He just thought he was embarrassed and continued to persuade him.

   "I can see that you are a capable person, but no matter how good a person is, there is a limit. The Wang family dare to bully you because of the large number of people."

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

   "If you are in a hurry, it won't matter if you have a drink tonight."

   Chu Guang almost didn't get choked by these words, so he coughed and said.

   "No need."

  What the hell?

   How did the topic jump to this.

   Besides, the marriageable age acceptable to these survivors, UU reading www. uukanshu.com is not acceptable to Chu Guang from a civilized society.

   He is still young, it's still early to get married or something.

   "Hey, let's do it."

   Yu Hu did not persuade him, but expressed regret in his heart.

  The people who came out of the refuge had very good heads, just like the old man named Charlie, who had been helping the mayor since he remembered, and he was a big man in the eyes of the neighbourhood.

   Old man Charlie said that Chu Guang also came out of the refuge, so there should be nothing wrong with it.

   If he can have a son with his sister, maybe the Yu family will be able to have a big man like Old Man Charlie in the future.

   He even made plans to convince his father.

   But now it seems that I am self-sufficient.

   came home with his things.

   Yu Hu held his sister.

   "Little fish, brother asks you, would you like to marry you to the next door eldest brother Chu Guang?"

   Xiaoyu still had a lollipop in his mouth, and muttered.

"Yes you can."

   Anyway, it’s at the door of the house, not far away.

   In her eyes, the so-called marrying is just to sleep in a different place. There is nothing wrong with it. Maybe you can get two more pieces of candy.

   Yu Hu, who had planned to give up, said happily.

   "That brother will help you persuade him again."

   "Oh."

   Xiaoyu answered casually, just eating sweets, not caring.

   It's Yu Hu, who is enthusiastic about it.

   "Okay, I'll talk about elder brother and dad, but don't just wait there. If you have time, go find your mother and learn how to pancakes... What are you eating? Give me two bites."

   "No!"

   Seeing that the second brother was going to grab his own candy, Xiaoyu was instantly unhappy, and the cat dodged and ran away.
