Compared to a few months ago, all roads are hidden under overgrown weeds and vines, with only the metal guardrails still looming to suggest that this is a highway.

After more than two hours of trekking, the energy brought by eating food in the morning was almost exhausted, and Zhang Tao, who was out of breath and looked as if he had just been fished out of the water, finally saw a towering wall in the distance.

This wall is much taller than the wall of Xingyue City, and there are turrets with thick cannon barrels exposed on the four or five storey walls, and there are even more than ten meters of machine gun bunkers.

Beneath the serpent-like fence is a man-made clearing, about 100 meters covered with barbed wire and bones.

Zhang Tao looked at a half-cut corpse hanging from barbed wire in horror, and the head of half rotten flesh and half white bones suddenly opened and closed two jaws, so frightened that he took two steps back, crawled around the barbed wire, and walked towards the open space.

A dull gunshot rang out, and the bullet landed at Zhang Tao's feet, and the dust splashed made him gray.

Unable to wipe the dust off his cheeks, Zhang Tao pulled his thirsty throat and shouted: "I'm a living person, don't shoot!" Don't shoot! ”

At this time, he secretly regretted again: "I'm really dizzy, if someone is shot to death, it is better to stay in the residence of Xingyue City." ”

After a short time, an armored car that was driving crookedly stopped in front of Zhang Tao with a bang, and a lean soldier in full armor jumped out of the car, and he looked at Zhang Tao in surprise: "You are not an alienated person?" Who are you? Where are you from? ”

"My name is Zhang Tao, and I'm from Xingyue City." Zhang Tao squeezed out a smile on his gray face.

"There are still living people in Xingyue City? You don't have a weapon on you? Show me the backpack. Hearing Zhang Tao's words, the soldier looked very surprised.

"I don't have a weapon, I'm a law-abiding citizen." Facing the soldier's calloused palms, Zhang Tao very reluctantly handed over the backpack.

The soldier put his hand into the backpack and tossed it a few times, and threw the backpack to Zhang Tao with a disappointed face, and said angrily: "Get in the car, you have to thank me for saving your life, you will step on the mine after two more steps." ”

Sitting in the bumpy carriage, Zhang Tao looked at the big pits that shook outside the car from time to time, his legs trembled with fear, and he listened to the discussions of the soldiers at the front of the carriage with a pale face.

"I don't know where the idiot came from, I didn't even bring food, I wouldn't have run in vain if I knew it."

"What do you know? Do you see that he has fine skin and tender meat, as if he is short of food? When he arrived at the division headquarters, someone naturally asked him to speak. ”

The armored car passed through the entrance of the black hole wall, and an Dongfeng warrior jeep had already stopped there, and an officer ordered in a low voice: "You give people to me, go back to your posts, and you are not allowed to discuss and spread this matter, and those who violate military law will be dealt with." ”

The Yangcheng defense base is not based on the Yangcheng urban area, but relies on the original military division to build a circle of reinforced concrete defense fortresses.

There are also suggestions to completely reclaim the urban area and rebuild the home, but the large and small alien beasts and zombies are hidden in complex buildings, even with the cooperation of the enhancers and the aliens, it also causes heavy losses to the ordinary soldiers who carry out the search mission.

In desperation, the bigwigs of the Yangcheng Military Management Committee had no choice but to re-plan the survival base at the location of the military subdivision in the suburban junction.

With a large amount of manpower and material resources obtained from the surrounding counties and cities, in a short period of time, a wall with a radius of more than ten miles and full of various firepower points was built.

There were not many civil buildings in the suburbs of Yangcheng, but the population of more than 300,000 people poured in at once, which was greatly overloaded, and many people could only live in simple tents.

The great changes in the natural environment are also beneficial, the weather in winter is not cold at all, and it has not even snowed, otherwise I don't know how many people would have frozen to death last winter.

Despite the lack of weather threats, the survivors living in the open-air tent area have been reduced to a large number, and in addition to the occasional alienated birds and beasts sneaking into the walls through the sky and underground to fight the autumn winds, the lack of food is also a factor.

Fortunately, when winter turns to spring, people can plant some crops in small open spaces, but they must be harvested before they are ripe, otherwise the alienated birds that fall from the sky will bring a huge disaster.

The green but yielding crops plus some standard grains are enough to sustain life, but eating well can only be a luxury, and most of the people living in the tent area are yellow and thin, and they look malnourished.

In contrast, the people who live in the makeshift houses have a better diet, but only better, and the corpses of the alienated beasts that are killed are given priority to the enhancers and the aliens, after all, they are the main force to defend the place of residence.

Soldiers can also stew a pot of broth to fight their teeth every once in a while, and military canned food and compressed biscuits, which used to be difficult to swallow, have become rare.

Most people collect and exchange some necessities for themselves, such as cigarettes, alcohol, and women.

A canned food or a few compressed biscuits can make a good-looking woman do whatever she wants, and as for a woman of average appearance, you can do it with a standard piece of food.

The trade between soldiers and women, the military management committee is almost the default, for ordinary soldiers who are on duty on the fence and may die at any time, finding a woman to vent is also a way to relieve stress, not to mention the relief of people who are fainting from hunger.

In a room in a small two-story building at the headquarters of the 117th Division of the Military Division, the officer who picked up Zhang Tao was loudly reporting the contents that had been taken out of Zhang Tao's mouth.

The reason why his voice is loud is because if he is small, it will be muffled by the moans made by the woman, and even if he knows that no matter how small the voice is, his boss can hear it clearly.

There was not much content, and the officer quickly finished the report, but he still stood in place with his legs straight and listened to the bed ~ play for more than half an hour.

It's not that the officer doesn't want to leave, it's that the boss didn't say anything and he didn't dare to leave, the predecessor was careless and was shot in the head, the officer didn't want to make the same mistake, and there were several women who wanted him to raise it.

Compared with the officers who did not squint and could only hear but could not move their hands, Zhang Tao, who was squatting in a small and dimly lit room, used both his hands and mouths, and struggled with a piece of standard grain.

Touching the cheeks that were chewing painfully, Zhang Tao's intestines were all remorseful: "Damn, I'm really stupid, I really didn't expect that the Yangcheng Military Division was even worse than Xingyue City, and in Xingyue City, I still eat white-flour steamed buns, and I still live in a big set of three, what kind of place is this?" It is clearly a former confinement cell. ”

Sighing, Zhang Tao looked left and right at the humble room with only one door, and then looked at the so-called standard grain mixed with rice grains, wheat bran, and some unknown things in his hand.

Zhang Tao chewed hard again, no way, he was hungry, the food he ate in the morning had become the driving force on the road, and now he felt that he could eat a cow.

With half-warm boiled water, he finally ate the standard grain, Zhang Tao took his backpack and grabbed a handful of jewelry that was already worthless.

The charming luster of the gold flickering in the dim light, Zhang Tao thought of the simple tents on the side of the road and the people with yellow muscles and confused eyes, and he secretly made up his mind: "When someone comes to inquire about the situation of Xingyue City's residence, I must bargain well." ”
