The off-road vehicle continued to drive slowly along the cement road towards the front, and after a few minutes, Fan Haizhou pointed to the distance ahead and said to Liu Shibai:

"You see, there's our gathering place ahead of us. ”

Liu Shibai came back from his contemplation and looked up and couldn't help but be stunned, because in his imagination, this core settlement in Fan Haizhou's mouth was almost composed of slightly better and larger tents.

But at a glance, Liu Shibai didn't see the tent area on both sides of the road, but instead looked at a huge wall that was very thick and nearly ten meters high, what was behind the wall, sitting in the off-road vehicle, Liu Shibai couldn't see it from the outside.

"Looks like this gathering place is not small, huh?"

Liu Eighteen's dull mood improved slightly, and he asked with interest.

Fan Haizhou saw that Liu Shibai was interested, and couldn't help but smile:

"Originally, you told me that I had amnesia, and I didn't believe it, but now I believe it. ”

Liu Shibai rolled his eyes and said curiously, "Why do you say that?"

Fan Haizhou pointed to the tall wall in front of him and explained:

"You don't know anything about it now, you see it's very big, isn't it? But let me tell you, of all the gathering places I know, our one is the smallest and weakest. ”

Liu Shibai was stunned, pointed to the tent area behind the off-road vehicle, and then pointed to the huge wall in front of him and said strangely:

"At this scale, it's still the smallest one, and I think it's a lot of people. ”

Fan Haizhou nodded with a wry smile and explained:

"It's the smallest one, and the population of this gathering place is less than 30,000, including the tent area outside.

In these years, how many people can be gathered and fed means how much strength they have, and when everyone in our gathering place wants to feed themselves, it is only enough for 10,000 people to survive at most. ”

Liu Eighteen picked at his head and said in surprise:

"It's only enough for 10,000 people to survive?" Then why do you say that the population is less than 30,000, how can the extra 20,000 people live?"

Hearing Liu Shiba's question, Fan Haizhou's face was a little gloomy, and he sighed before he said:

"There are only 10,000 people in the wall, and those who are qualified to live in it are all people with some ability and strength. There are 20,000 people who don't qualify to live inside the walls, which is the huge tent area you just saw along the road. ”

I was born here as a small industrial town with a population of less than 3,000, but it was later occupied by a defeated army and formed a temporary settlement.

Because this place is far away from the densely populated big cities, the huge zombie herd rarely affects this area, and after decades of development, the population gradually increased, and it took a huge amount of manpower and material resources for more than ten years to build this huge wall.

But as far as I know, there are several more populous and larger population clusters within a radius of several hundred kilometers, ranging from a few hundred thousand to more than one million. ”

"Millions of people, what do they live on in this world where there is nothing?"

Liu Eighteen opened his mouth wide in surprise and said in confusion.

Fan Haizhou looked at Liu Eighteen and explained with a smile:

"It is possible that after the nuclear explosion, they have developed a land suitable for cultivation, and in addition to the minimum self-sufficiency, it depends on the ability of the leadership of the agglomeration, otherwise it is impossible to gather a million people with a huge wall. ”

Liu 18 pointed to the wall and said to Fan Haizhou:

"There are tents all over the inside of the fence as on the outside, right? But with the protection of the wall, it's much more reassuring. ”

Fan Haizhou was stunned when he heard this, and only after a long time did he smile bitterly and said:

"There are two worlds inside and outside, one is heaven and the other is hell, inside are the nobles and outside are the untouchables. ”

Liu Eighteen said curiously:

"The people who live inside, don't they care if they live or die in the tent area outside?"

Fan Haizhou shook his head helplessly and said:

"Now it is no longer the army that ran the gathering place, and after a few decades, the dynasty has changed, and the huge power will make people forget their original appearance, and then become greedy and shameless.

However, as long as people stay in the gathering place, do not break the rules set by the gathering place, and especially do not challenge the authority of the management, no one will generally find trouble. ”

Liu 18 nodded, no longer asking this and that, but turned his head to pay attention to the huge wall.

The wall is about ten meters high, with a gap like a battlement at the top, and every 100 meters there is a bastion protruding two or three meters outside the wall, and you can vaguely see soldiers wearing uniform uniforms on duty.

The fort is presumably a heavy weapon such as a heavy machine gun, and each fort can attack in three directions.

Outside the walls, the only building that Liu Shibai could visually see was a huge chimney billowing smoke.

Fan Haizhou saw that Liu Shibai noticed the cigarette tube, so he opened his mouth and introduced:

"As mentioned earlier, this is a small industrial town, and the only industry in this small city is a small arsenal that can make standard guns customized by the military at that time, and can also make bullets.

At present, this arsenal is the core of the entire gathering place, and all the guns and ammunition bought and sold in the gathering place rely on the production of the arsenal.

As long as people can afford to go out and get bone diamonds, most of them will be used to buy guns and bullets, and the remaining part will buy the necessary rations to solve the problem, in this world, having weapons and food means that a person has the right to live. ”

When Liu Eighteen heard this explanation, he looked at Fan Haizhou after thinking about it secretly, and said softly:

"Can I understand that adventurers who can get guns and ammunition and go out hunting to get bone diamonds also enjoy the power to be exploited by others?

And the only person who can sit back and enjoy the delicacies of the mountains and seas without doing anything is the so-called leadership who has the right to actually occupy the arsenal, the right to manufacture, and the right to buy and sell?"

Fan Haizhou didn't answer the right or wrong of this question, but there was a trace of helplessness and sadness in his eyes......

Behind the envy of the many eyes in the canopy area, these people who drive off-road vehicles and carry automatic rifles are actually the most exploited people.

In the eyes of the real power in the gathering place, a small team like Fan Haizhou is just a tool to obtain bone diamonds, and they are not only exploited for time and hard work, but also for their lives.

…………………………

In a blink of an eye, the off-road vehicle drove to the vicinity of the entrance of the city gate under the city wall, and the little bell who was driving turned his head and said to Fan Haizhou:

"Big brother, let's get here, let's get this guy with cerebral palsy out of the car here, and let him survive in the tent area by himself.

If he is brought into the city at the expense, he will be a burden, and we can't afford to raise such a big idler to sit and wait for food and drink. ”

Fan Haizhou frowned, looked at Liu Shibai strangely and asked:

"Do you have any skills to support yourself? If you really don't have anything, I'll take you into the city for two days at most, and you'll be found out and driven out in the end. ”

Liu Shibai puffed out his eyes, raised his finger and pointed at himself and said:

"Of course I have the ability, I can look at feng shui, well, I can also look at physiognomy, look at face and hand ......."

In the car, Fan Haizhou, Xiao Zhong, Zhang Sheng, and Zhou Haiping were all demented, and looked at Liu Shibai at the same time.

In the end, Fan Haizhou gritted his teeth and asked:

"Legend has it that the profession has long been extinct - the god stick?"
