Chapter 825 The Tranquility Before the Storm(1/2)

After Yi Tianpeng left, Li Ming and Jiang Feng also left.

Jiang Feng came to Wangcheng once in a while and planned to take Liming for a walk around the city. The two of them called a three-wheeler and headed to the busiest business district.

Along the way, people were coming and going, and traffic was busy. But most of them were tricycles, bicycles, and electric vehicles. There were no four-wheeled motor vehicles because urban regulations made it illegal to use cars. There are two reasons:

One is that gasoline is precious and can only be used by the military. The other is that cars will pollute the air in Wangcheng, but the main reason is the first reason.

Jiang Feng and Liming came to Century Square, which is one of the commercial districts and is extremely prosperous. There is a leisure and entertainment area in the center of the square, with musical fountains and beautiful plants everywhere. These plants were transplanted from outside the city.

Yes, very beautiful.

There are many activities in the square, including square dancing, hip-hop dancing, and pulley activities. There are also some fancy activities, such as playing balloons, making sugar figures, catching clowns, etc. There is also a small and medium-sized square.

There are many strange little fishes here in the pond, all species that did not exist before the apocalypse. Many children gathered around the pond and looked at it, with laughter and laughter written all over their faces.

Jiang Feng and Li Ming came to a fountain attraction and sat on the chairs next to them, watching the fountain gush from time to time and feeling the laughter of passers-by.

"Jiang Feng, it seems that none of these people know you as a lord."

"Yes, I don't like personality worship. A long time ago, Su Kouye would require portraits of all leaders in Wangcheng to be posted in public places. However, I personally still don't like this method, so I strictly abolished it. Time passed

After so long, most of them have forgotten what it is like to lead people.”

"Well, that's good. If a lot of people know you, we can't just sit here and relax."

"That's right, it's rare to come back and enjoy this moment." Jiang Feng put his arm around Li Ming's shoulders.

"We have always been active on the front line of the battlefield, and it is rare to see these ordinary people. Speaking of which, they seem to be very happy." Li Ming said with emotion.

"People today are different from before." Jiang Feng replied.

"What's the difference?"

"People used to live very stressful lives, but after experiencing the apocalypse, their mentality has changed a lot. It can be described in one sentence: Carpe diem."

"What is carpe diem?"

"Just spend as much as you earn." Jiang Feng said with a smile.

"Moonlight clan? This is not good. You should save some money."

“What are you saving money for?”

"There are always needs, such as buying a house, seeing a doctor, etc."

"Li Ming, Li Ming, let me ask you. You were a people's policeman before the end of the world, but is your salary enough to buy a house?"

"If you save money, save money, make a down payment, and repay it in 30 years, you can own your own house."

"But in these thirty years, you have to live frugally, and life will lose a lot of fun. Unlike them, who are free and easy, they don't need to think about a house at all." Jiang Feng pointed to the crowd around him.

"You mean all the houses in Wangcheng are free?" Liming had never asked about Wangcheng's economy and politics before, and had basically no idea about Wangcheng's development.

"That's right, anyone who has registered in Wangcheng can apply for housing for free. Because of the existence of blue ore and coagulin, coupled with the strong physical fitness of the new humans, the construction efficiency has increased nearly a hundred times. Every day that passes in Wangcheng

A building will be built. Houses are no longer a luxury, they have become something that everyone can own."

"In this case, life will indeed be a lot less stressful. It turns out that everyone will have a house."

"Yes, everyone has a house, but furniture and decoration cost money. So if you work hard to make money, you can live a good life. It is best to consume it all and spend it all. The most perfect law of economic development is to keep the currency in a

In high-speed circulation. Wangcheng's rapid economic development has a lot to do with consumption. Before the end of the world, housing and medical care were the two big mountains that overwhelmed ordinary people. But now, these two big mountains no longer exist."

"Are all hospitals free?" Liming asked curiously.

"It's not completely free. Ordinary medical treatment is not reimbursed. Serious illnesses can be reimbursed. The phenomenon of serious illness returning to before liberation has been basically eliminated."

“Is regular medical treatment expensive?”

"Of course it's not expensive. Besides, very few people get sick now because the new humans have very strong physiques, and even cancer has been conquered. As long as they are strong enough, basically all diseases are immune to them, so medical costs are greatly reduced.

Nowadays, people basically seek medical treatment because of trauma. For example, falling from a height while building a house, or some dangerous sports, but these don't cost a few dollars. As long as they have a good operation, they will be fine in a few days.

No need to take medicine.”

"But this is a characteristic of the new humanity itself. Housing and medical care are no longer a problem for most forces."

"That's right, in today's world, what matters is not material things, but a sense of security. Only after people experience the apocalypse do they understand the importance of a sense of security. Wangcheng can give them this sense of security. When people in turmoil, they understand

After experiencing this sense of security in the bustling world, you will be attracted by everything in front of you." Jiang Feng looked not far away.

Coincidentally, Mou Jiren and the thirty-odd zombie leaders happened to be here too.

"Lord, what a coincidence that you are here." Mou Jiren greeted.

"How was your game?" Jiang Feng looked at the zombie leaders. They all looked happy now.

"It's great. This place is tens of thousands of times better than the ant cave. This is the life that humans should live." One of the zombie leaders said.

"It's just, it's so cool. We have everything here. It's so convenient."

“You really don’t know how perfect this place is unless you’ve been here before. It feels like we were like frogs in a well before.”

The zombies were full of praise, with smiles on their faces.

"It's only the first day, you guys are having fun and having a great time." Jiang Feng said with a smile.

"I really want to thank you this time." Gomez expressed gratitude to Jiang Feng.

"Yes, thank you for your generosity." Other zombie leaders also expressed their thanks.

"You're welcome, go ahead and have fun." Jiang Feng made a gesture.

"Then let's go first." Mou Jiren said.

"Go ahead."

After Mou Jiren and the zombie leaders walked away, Li Ming asked Jiang Feng in confusion: "Why are you so nice to those zombies?"

"It looks fine now, but in a few days, they will feel uncomfortable." Jiang Feng replied.

"Be good to them first, and then be bad to them. What does this mean? Jiang Feng, you are not a psychopath, are you? Have you ever treated a prisoner like this?"

"Where are you thinking? I will not be bad to them. After they have fun, I will let them leave Wangcheng and let them go."

"Ah? Why?" Li Ming asked in confusion.

"They are all zombie leaders. They control nearly 100,000 zombie soldiers and know many leaders of other corps. When these leaders leave, they will be reluctant to leave Wangcheng. They will be tired of the low-level lifestyle of the zombies. They will leave Wangcheng.

Things spread among the zombie soldiers, and the zombie soldiers will affect their friends. When the time comes, more and more zombies will want to surrender to Wangcheng."

"No way, you actually have the idea of ​​recruiting zombies?" Li Ming said in surprise.

"The intelligence of the zombies is gradually recovering, and it is increasingly inappropriate to call them zombies. They are a humanoid race called the Gray Tribe. As long as they are intelligent creatures, I do not want them to be completely wiped out, even if we humans and

Zombies once had hatred and estrangement."

"But from a psychological point of view, few people would accept the interaction between humans and gray people."

"Yeah, it's a long process."

"No matter what, I will support you." Li Ming smiled.

"Yeah, I know. By the way, are you hungry?"

"Kind of."

"Then let's go and eat."

Jiang Feng took Liming to a high-end restaurant in the city, and the two of them went to a private room with a very nice environment.

Li Ming was very happy. She ordered many novel dishes, which she had never tasted before.

"Since I left the underground world, I have been eating the food in the army. Although I am not picky about food, the food in this city is indeed better than the food in the army." Li Ming smiled while picking up the food.

"After all, the food in the army is big pot rice, and the restaurants in this city handle the food much more carefully and pay more attention to cooking skills. Of the several dishes you are eating now, which one does not cost more than 50 yuan?"

"50 yuan, is that expensive?" Liming rarely took money and rarely used it. He had no idea about current currency circulation.

"That's right. This is a high-end restaurant. Only people with high incomes will come here often."

"That's it, then do we have income? How much money do we have now?" Li Ming asked.

"Not much. I have about two thousand yuan in my pocket. I asked Cai Huadao for it temporarily." Jiang Feng said with a smile.

"Oh, is Cai Huadao very rich?"

"It's okay. His weekly salary is 100,000 yuan."

"Every week? Isn't that 300,000 a month?"

"Yeah, that's what it means."

"how about you?"

"I have no money." Jiang Feng smiled.

"What should we do? How will we live in the future?" Li Ming suddenly put down his chopsticks.

"Why don't you eat?"

"I suddenly remembered something. It seems that every soldier has a salary. Those battalion commanders and regiment commanders seem to have very high salaries. But I don't have a salary, and you don't have a salary. Isn't that very passive? Don't you get it every time?

Do you have to ask Cai Huadao for all the money?"
