Chapter 5: A New Era

Whoop~whoa~

On the screen of the mobile phone, the little lynx with black and gray hair staggered on the sofa with a pair of bright golden eyes towards the position of the camera, and its mouth kept snoring, and finally stumbled into a palm stretched out from under the camera.

Roll over, rub your thumb with your forehead, squint your eyes, and swaying your three tails from side to side.

"Hey...... You're going to have to wait for me!"

Zhu Jue looked at the little wind chimes in the video, his eyes full of memories.

Put your phone aside, turn on your computer, and the lock screen password is no different from the password for the door.

In the five years that he was frozen in Greenland, the world can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes, Rao is Zhu Jue couldn't completely receive all kinds of information from the outside world for a while, so he could only start retrieving from the information he cared about more carefully.

First of all, it is natural to start with Yecheng.

The day Yecheng was destroyed five years ago is known as the day of the catastrophe, whether on the Internet, in official documents or in publicity.

It was not a simple terrorist attack or a monster attack on the city, and aside from the actual losses, the destruction of Yecheng was undoubtedly a smash to the surface of peace that the federal government had maintained for nearly a hundred years in terms of historical significance.

They travel through the city.

They soar through the sky.

They herald the beginning of a new era!

In 2220, a huge sea beast appeared off the coast of Tokyo, setting off a 100-meter-high tsunami, killing more than 700,000 people in an instant, and the flood caused by the disaster caused millions of casualties.

In 2221, an amorphous horror creature appeared in Greenland, crushing most of Nuuk City in just three days, and no more than 10,000 people survived on the island!

In 2222, a city in North America had a situation similar to Yecheng, where cultists summoned some kind of indescribable special monster in the city, and the spiritual pollution spread rapidly in a very short period of time, and one-fifth of the population suddenly became a monster of the source of spiritual pollution!

......

The disasters that have occurred in the past five years have exceeded the scope and intensity of the disasters in the past 50 years combined!

It's just that in order to ensure that the people's spirit does not have problems as much as possible, these reports do not have any pictures or audio, only extremely obscure text descriptions, which is still a summary that Zhu Jue has been looking for for a long time and barely saw in some forums.

Under the premise of the successive huge crises in various parts of the Federation, the credibility of the federal government inevitably declined at an alarming rate, and in the end, because of the inability to recover the situation, a considerable part of the federation appeared in a wave of demonstrations with slogans such as "self-help can survive" and "need a government that truly serves the people".

Of course, only a small part of this is the real public demand, and more of it is driven by the financial oligarchs and top conglomerates behind the scenes.

Skip what happened in the middle and look straight at the results.

This wave of politics that spread across the federation ended with the federal government backing down and handing over control of some of the more severely affected first-tier cities that the federal government was unable to rescue.

With the victory of the capital group, in order to maximize the gathering of labor and improve the space for capital development...... The propaganda said that it was to protect the people more conveniently.

But anyone with a little brain knows that this is to facilitate exploitation.

The first-tier cities on various continents that fall under the control of monopoly consortia have begun to expand under the operation of huge capital groups, and gradually developed into super-first-tier megacities by annexing surrounding small and medium-sized cities and regions.

Dawning City, where Zhu Jue is currently located, is one of the most representative megacities, as one of the few super first-tier cities in Dongzhou that is still under the control of the federal government, with a permanent population of nearly 50 million and an overall area of nearly three Yecheng.

However, the original intention of the city was not to be exploited, but to be a megacity that the federal government took the initiative to establish in response to the land enclosure and enclosure plans of the top consortiums.

There is no doubt that the nature of living things is to seek advantages and avoid harms.

In order to obtain strong shelter, people have to choose to pay money in a low profile or to accept certain terms and conditions to enter this urban life.

They would rather wander through these megacities than return to the danger zone infested with psychic monsters and beasts that have been affected and begun to mutate.

However, there are also so-called "urban dreams", "elite era" sayings.

The general meaning is that as long as you have the ability, even if you were just a "wild dog" that was once just gouging in the stinky ditch, you have the opportunity to become a human being, and you can get everything you want in this era!

And when it comes to danger zones, we have to mention the Archaeological Society.

Zhu Jue sensed the development trend of the Archaeological Association from Rachel's words and deeds when he went to find the scientific research station in Greenland, and now, five years later, this organization, which was originally formed by scholars, has become the authority of the whole federation to fight against the monster of spiritual pollution!

The currently recognized concept of hazardous areas is a regional assessment criterion proposed and perfected by the Archaeological Association:

Safe Zone: Cities where the threat of mental contamination is minimized through strict hue monitoring and a well-trained military to eliminate existing or potential sources of psychic pollution.

Basically, any mega-city can meet this standard, but it is limited to the threat of monsters from the source of spiritual pollution.

C-level danger zone: A city where the number of monsters from mental pollution sources is small, and people can maintain a normal life.

At present, most of the first-tier or second-tier cities except for giant cities are basically C-level danger zones, some are similar to the state of the former Yecheng outer city, there are some monsters, but people's lives are still going on, as long as you pay attention to some can ensure the normal progress of life.

B-level danger zone: There are many monsters from mental pollution sources, mainly mutants, and there may be mutant beasts, so people can only live in hiding.

Greenland is one of the typical B-class danger zones, where Shogues runs over once and then disappears, only to be replaced by mutant monsters and mutant beasts.

Class A Danger Zone: An area where there are extremely dangerous monsters that are sources of spiritual pollution, and it is difficult for humans to survive.

There are very few areas that can achieve this rating, and even in the world, they can be counted on their fingers, including Yecheng and Fang Doushan.

......

"Hiss~"

Looking at the rows of web frames on the screen, Zhu Jue pinched his eyebrows and tilted his neck back to relieve the soreness.

Although he had deliberately limited his search to the information he wanted, he was still inevitably surprised by what had happened in the past five years.

The huge amount of information makes Zhu Jue a little unbearable, he is not a machine after all, and there is a limit to the processing of information after all.

"Don't worry about these things for now, you have to find a way to get to Yecheng first!"

Rubbing his cheeks with both hands, he poured half a glass of ice water into his mouth to cool his head, Zhu Jue was ready to put aside other things first, and focus all his attention on going to Yecheng to find the wind chimes.

"How to get to Yecheng from Dawning City. ”

Typing this paragraph into the search engine, the content pushed out made Zhu Jue frown.

At present, there is no public transportation route to Yecheng in Dawning City, and even the transportation to the surrounding area of Anqing Province has been completely cut off.

After the disaster five years ago, although the federal government sent a large number of troops to suppress Yecheng in a short period of time, due to the rapid spread of the disaster, the entire Yecheng was occupied by monsters in a short period of time, and a huge number of spiritual pollution source monsters shuttled to all corners of the city, so that the federal government's troops were inevitably dragged into street fighting.

By the time they remembered to carry out carpet bombing, hoping to save the city, tens of thousands of spiritual pollution source monsters had already spread wildly to the surrounding areas of Anqing Mansion, causing the guard force in the Fang Doushan area to be completely broken, and then the protozoic monsters in the different space joined the battlefield.

In other words, the current Yecheng and its surrounding areas can be called one of the most dangerous places in the entire Dongzhou, and the intensity and density of the monsters from both the spiritual pollution source and the density are far greater than those in other areas.

Nowadays, even private groups have to avoid public transportation.

But that's where Zhu Jue has to go, not only the wind chimes are there, but also the three bags of gems that can be sold for a lot of money, and the Book of Dekian, which is not surprisingly lying in the safe!

Since it is not accessible by public transport, it is a different way.

By car?

Retrieving the route from Dawning City to Yecheng, using a car as a means of transportation, you need to pass through a large area of danger zones, and the existing map is not updated in real time, and the traffic conditions in these danger zones that are already in a semi-collapsed state are not clear, and you know that there is a high probability that there will be road jams or monsters blocking the road.

Or you can get as close as possible through some of the existing transportation routes, and it is best to shorten some of the distance, not only to save time, but also to avoid the attacks of monsters.

"Transportation Routes Near Anqing Province ......"

In a different way of searching, this time Zhu Jue was not disappointed, and he got a new feasible plan.

Fort Train!

The emergence of a large number of danger zones has led to the forced division of various regions, but it is naturally impossible for people in various human cities to really not communicate with each other, especially the transportation routes between megacities must be guaranteed.

With too few planes to carry passengers, and the construction of airports could not be widespread, ground transportation was bound to continue, so the plan for a fortress train was put on the agenda at the same time that megacities began to be built.

The so-called fortress train, as the name suggests, is a train that is built like a fortress.

Covered in an all-metal shell, it is equipped with a large number of fully automatic intelligent weapons, and the interior is also specially equipped with an elite armed force of between 20 and 30 people......

The train's information flickered on the screen, and Zhu Jue was interested in the transportation line from Dawn City to Thousand Sails City, which would pass through some cities in the C-level danger zone and make short stops along the way, including cities closer to Anqing Province.

Fingers slid down the course on the screen, eventually landing on a small black dot.

Target: Anling City!
