Xiao Tao and Wang Feng listened to those people constantly counting down the middle-aged man, and their hearts suddenly despised the middle-aged man, and they became more and more sympathetic to the mother and daughter. But at this moment, Xiao Tao and Wang Feng noticed that some patrols from the base were approaching this direction.

They were here to inquire about the news, but they didn't want to get into trouble at this time. The two of them quickly said hello to the men and left the place. As for the mother and daughter, they can't take care of that much for the time being.

The two retreated a little further and hid in the corner of a tent, continuing to observe the situation there. They were afraid that those people would say the wrong thing and arouse the suspicion of the patrolmen. If that's the case, they might as well be prepared to catch it early.

As soon as the patrolmen arrived, the people nearby immediately greeted them with smiles on their faces. A group of people laughed a few words, and the patrol people laughed strangely one by one. It seems that the two sides know each other well.

The men who had gathered around the patrol man had all run back to their tents and shouted at the door after a few words of flattery to the patrolman. In the tent, a young and energetic or mature woman came out, and after glaring at their men with disgust or helplessness, they turned their heads and took the initiative to meet the patrolmen with a spring breeze on their faces.

Even the bearded middle-aged man heard the movement and quickly pulled his haggard wife out of the tent. The woman's long hair was a little messy, and there were some red and swollen marks on her face, which was clearly just slapped by the man. The bearded middle-aged man saw the woman stunned at the door, and he didn't know how to take the initiative to please the patrolman, and the expression on his face was suddenly very irritable, and he pushed the woman up with a flick of his hand.

The woman happened to crash into the arms of a patrolman. But when the patrolman saw that half of the woman's face was swollen like a pig's head, her long hair was disheveled, and her clothes were in tatters, he immediately pushed the woman away from her arms in disgust.

After that, the five or six patrolmen each hugged a woman who had come out before and entered the women's tents. And instead of being angry, the men of the women's family rubbed their palms with a happy face. After that, the men crouched outside the tent and waited.

Some women who were not picked, or because their men were late, women who came late. They all snorted angrily and returned to their tent. The men also beat their chests and paused, and then followed by the women who also dispersed.

Xiao Tao and Wang Feng saw this scene and were stunned. I think that those patrols didn't notice that they were here to inquire about the news, but ...... I feel that this tent is a special business area?!

Look at the appearance of familiar customers. What kind of miasma is this?!

The people were scattered. Only the poor woman who fell to the ground was left. Seeing that the woman had not been reached, the bearded man stepped forward a few steps forward and grabbed one of the woman's arms with one hand, and slammed the other hand at the woman's face.

"Smack!" With a bang, five bright red finger marks immediately appeared on the woman's otherwise unharmed half of her face.

The middle-aged man was still angry, and he actually slapped his backhand again.

It's just a blink of an eye. The woman was completely beaten into a pig's head, and the corners of her mouth were oozing blood.

None of the squatting men nearby came to persuade them, but they all looked at the excitement with mocking expressions.

There were even a few women in tents nearby who heard the movement and probed out to take a look. Not only did no one mean to persuade them, but some people even sneered gloatingly. They touched their smooth, delicate cheeks, which they had dressed as carefully as they could, and a poisonous light flashed in their eyes, as if they were expecting the poor woman to simply be disfigured, so that they would have one less competitor.

Some women also deliberately pushed their own men who also came out to see the excitement on their toes, shouting in their mouths, similar to what to see? Do you want to do the opposite? Hurry back to the house to mend the old lady's clothes, if the old lady is not dressed up beautifully today. You can't pull a job, depending on what you eat at night......

Those men really let those women push and shove, and obediently let those women call. Look at the faces of those who eat soft rice one by one.

Xiao Tao watched the fire in her heart from afar, but it was not all angry, it was really mixed.

Xiao Tao and Wang Feng really couldn't stand it anymore, and just wanted to leave the place as soon as possible. However, before leaving, Xiao Tao quietly pointed at the bearded man who was still beating the woman in public. An electric bolt instantly struck the middle-aged man and scurried through his body.

As soon as the man's body was numb, he fell on his back next to the woman. The woman screamed.

The man was fine, just temporarily unconscious.

Xiao Tao and Wang Feng, who had already turned to leave, didn't notice, and the woman glanced gratefully in the direction they left.

After that, Xiao Tao and Wang Feng returned to Xiao Tao's assigned residence. Wei Hongwei, Zhao Jiarui, Wang Baoqiang and others have also returned here.

It's a pity that at the end of this day, they asked Bao Jianfeng separately about their news, but they found nothing.

They only found out some basic information about the base.

This base is called the Red Star Base. The founders are indeed the people of the army. But in the end, the population is very complex, and the taste has long changed. The soldiers who first established the base also lost most of them in the struggle with zombies in the early days of the base. The rest became the management of the base. They have worked hard so far, and life has gradually stabilized. But the mentality has also changed dramatically.

Now they have long been out of the control of the state, and although the Red Star Base is a military base, it has nothing to do with the army. In fact, even these soldiers are pre-apocalyptic, and now they are not much different from ordinary civilian survivors.

At first, they were all spontaneously gathered from various military regions, and they were not instructed by the state. Along the way, they also kindly rescued many people and survivors. They also sent out information that they were going to build a new base for military survivors, including through radio broadcasts, calling on more survivors to come on their own.

But when the base was built, they found out. They simply can't afford to feed that many survivors.

In the beginning, it was naturally the people of the army who went out to look for supplies. Ordinary people were protected and supported by the army.

But with the continuous attrition of military personnel, the people of the army had to start calling on ordinary people for help. Yet few ordinary people have come forward. They didn't stand up, but some people began to complain about the incompetence of the army.

These pre-apocalyptic soldiers are also made of flesh and have human hearts. It's true that their profession is to defend their families and country, but they are not trained to kill zombies. Now they are facing the end of the world, and they have long since become a country and a family, and everyone is trying to make a living under the mouth of zombies. Why do they want to defend their homes and countries before the end of the world, and after the end of the world, they will be eaten by zombies outside next to themselves, raising these people who don't have any strength at all and don't know how to be grateful?

Gradually. The soldiers were cold-hearted. They began to implement an iron-fisted policy at the base. Suddenly, the treatment of ordinary people in the base plummeted. The original three meals a day with vegetables and meat have become two meals a day, and only one steamed bun and a bowl of gruel are given.

The difference in treatment is too big, and where the people are willing to do it, they immediately made a fuss in the base.

As a result, the soldiers' guns were not aimed at the zombies, but at the people.

The soldiers also gave clear words. The base was built by them. The supplies were stolen from the zombies by desperately working outside. In order to continue to protect the base, they must be fed first.

As for the people in the base, they are all protected by people, and they don't have any strength at all, so the base will not starve them to death. But it is impossible to continue to feed and drink them indefinitely. If they want to be well fed, they have to contribute.

The so-called contribution is naturally to ask them to go out on adventures too. Most people are still greedy for life and afraid of death, and a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge are better than starving to death after two meals a day. If you go out, if you are not careful, it will directly become a zombie's dinner. Besides, the materials they went out to find were also to be confiscated, at most they could be divided, but not all the materials they found belonged to them. Inside and out, most people are still willing to lead the porridge and steamed buns for nothing and are not willing to go out.

This was still in the early days of the base. None of them expected, the further back. They were treated even worse. And when they can only get one steamed bun a day, it will be too late for them to contribute.

The Red Star Base is located in the west-central region, and it was already a relatively sparsely populated area before the end of the world. After the end of the world, the resources that can be found in the vicinity have been looted by the Red Star Base. In general, there are a lot of supplies, but there is always a number, and they will be consumed non-stop tomorrow. However, the location of the Red Star Base is barren in water and soil, and it is difficult to even cultivate it yourself.

The upper echelons of the base are also becoming more and more selfish, and they are more and more reluctant to distribute food to the ordinary people in the base who eat white food.

In fact, the later it gets, the more complex the upper-level personnel of the base become. Half of them were servicemen who built bases. The other half of the people were the first to be willing to help the soldiers, and when they came to the back, they were divided from those who were unwilling to contribute. The other part is the ability that gradually appears in the base.

Qu Jiarui inquired. At present, the top leader of the Red Star Base seems to be the strongest ability in their base. This man is not among the soldiers, but from the common people. It was with his super ability that he subdued the base's original military leadership and turned himself into king.

It's a pity that this person has become a king himself, but he is not a person who will think about others. After he became a leader. The treatment of ordinary people in the base is even worse than before.

Little Peach, they made a summary. This so-called Red Star Base is simply in vain. The roots are good roots, but unfortunately the seedlings are not growing crooked, and the fruits that bear fruit in the end are extremely ugly. This base is large enough for a large number of people, and its scale is more than two or three times larger than that of Sheng Hui. It's just that so many people are sitting on empty seats. The people above guarded the grain, and they were full and drunk, and they were unwilling to give the people below a full mouthful of food. The people below rely on all sorts of means to earn a living. This entire base is simply a crooked wind and a smoky miasma.

Compared to Sheng Hui, this Red Star Base is simply terrible. In such an environment, everyone's hearts gradually rotted as well. As far as Little Peach is concerned, they see it. The people in the base all exude an air of decay and resignation. Their respective statuses and identities have been divided, and they seem to be planning to live like this according to their respective roles.

It's a little weird. Now there's a big drought outside. But there were obviously a few months of good weather before, and the zombies hadn't moved back yet. With this base like this, why are these people still reluctant to leave?

After that, Xiao Tao and the others went out to inquire about the willingness of ordinary people in the Red Star Base to leave the base. Those who were asked were stunned when they heard this, and then they turned around directly to avoid Xiao Tao. Little Peach: They didn't get an answer. Those people just avoided answering, and the expressions of each one made people look at it but were even more confused.

They don't seem to be oppressed in some way, and they are afraid to answer this question. It's also not like they haven't thought about it and are suddenly panicked when asked. They...... They looked as if they had been hypnotized, and hearing the talk of leaving the base was like an introduction that left their minds blank.

They were not in a hurry to avoid it, but turned around without saying a word and walked slowly towards their quarters. until they return to their own accommodations. Xiao Tao, they followed behind, no matter how they called these people, they didn't react.

It's so weird! If they were deliberately avoiding it, why did they go so slowly? And when they heard Xiao Tao chasing and calling them, they didn't respond, but normally they shouldn't have sped up their pace?

But they walked home slowly, without squinting, without even blinking.

It's not one or two, everyone who is asked by Xiao Tao is this cousin. Xiao Tao, how could they not see that there was something strange in this.

This Red Star Base is not only bad, but also weird.

In the next few days, Xiao Tao and the others observed that the people in the Red Star Base seemed to be living in chaos, but there seemed to be some kind of order and a certain law of life in the chaos. The most obvious thing is that the people at the base seem to be clearly divided into three, six, nine, and so on, and each type of people basically only operates in their fixed area.

Let's take the special service area where Xiao Tao and Wang Feng inadvertently inquired about the news before. That area was supposed to belong to the lower third class of settlements, inhabited by makeshift tents. However, the tents are sturdy and look relatively tidy. After all, I'm in the service industry. Naturally, there is a bit of status in the base, and to put it bluntly, there is "money" to spare. You can't always let the guests spend in a dirty place.

There is an obvious and strange pattern in this area. (To be continued.) )
