"Then why are you still staying here and not looking for another place to go?" Meng Soul asked.

"Some people are XA people, their homeland is hard to leave, and some people don't know where to go at all, and now it's a mess outside, go out to feed the zombies? With our skills, it won't be too much of a problem to search for supplies outside, and we can still survive here. The fat man said with an embarrassed face.

Meng Soul nodded: "Take me around, I haven't walked around since I came to XA City." ”

"Then let's go to Xicheng, there are the most people there, let you see the people after the apocalypse." The fat man nodded.

When the group came to Xicheng, Meng Soul couldn't believe his eyes, when he first entered the city, there were beggars everywhere, Meng Soul still felt normal, but after arriving in Xicheng, Meng Soul found that human civilization had almost completely collapsed here, and there were no tall houses around at all, earthen houses, wooden houses, and even the shell of a scrapped car could become a home, only all kinds of billboards occasionally appeared on the roadside, and street signs allowed Meng Soul to see the shadow of the previous society.

It can be seen that this used to be a small park, collapsed pavilions, all kinds of amusement facilities that have begun to rust make this place look extremely desolate, all kinds of trees planted in the past have been cut down and built a messy house, hungry people are like locusts, the grass and wood that can eat have all been gnawed down, and even the public toilet on the side of the road has been occupied by people and turned into a house to live in, looking at the people who are active in this place that is not even a shantytown, Meng Soul suddenly felt a little helpless, so many places can search for supplies, Why are these people able to shrink into a skinny inhuman form in this place?

The group walked forward about a kilometer or so, this piece of chaos, the scene of the collapse has only improved a little, at least you can see the normal house, there are also many buildings on both sides, the first ten floors of the building are also occupied by refugees, the higher places will not go, climb such a high building will consume more, hungry faster, there are also many high-rise buildings are pitch black or missing a large piece, it seems that it has been on fire, or has been blown up, the road is also potholes, there are craters everywhere, and the craters are thrown into some loess or gravel to pave at will.

The people who came and went on the road were dull-eyed, with yellow faces and thin muscles, looking at Meng Soul and several people dressed neatly, with long knives, they all got out of the way in a panic, and the group continued to move forward, the more they went inside, the more neat the houses and buildings, and walked a distance, Meng Soul saw a square, the huge square formed a huge trade market, all kinds of items in the market were sold, from towels and toilet paper, to pistols and rifles, the market was shouting one after another, this was different from the messy market at the city gate, A grid room has been built here, it looks orderly, a group of armed men wearing the same camouflage uniform, walking around the market to maintain order, this short distance of a few hundred meters makes Meng Soul feel that it is the difference between heaven and hell at all, the front is chaotic, but here is orderly, although the people here are also thin, but the whole person is clean and tidy.

Meng Soul asked, "Fatty, why are there militants here to maintain order?" And it looks much better here than before, isn't it a slum to the west of the city? ”

The fat man said: "There are classes everywhere, even the slums, which are controlled by several gangs, and this market is jointly run by several gangs, and it is said that those gangs have the support of the committee, otherwise how much manpower and material resources will the committee allocate to manage the most populous and chaotic Xicheng?" ”

Meng Soul looked towards the exit of the market, a haggard woman walked out of the market with a girl with the same yellow face and thin muscles holding a small bag, Meng Soul felt very familiar at a glance, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, suddenly a flash flashed in his head, Meng Soul pointed to the mother and daughter who had gone away: "Stop them!" The team members behind Meng Soul drew their knives and rushed towards the two without saying a word, and the mother and daughter who were surrounded squatted on the ground like quails frightened by thunder, hugging each other, looking at the people surrounding them with frightened eyes, Meng Soul was startled by the reaction of the team members, and quickly said: "Put away the knife!" They are not enemies! The team members looked at Meng Soul with question marks on their heads.

Meng Soul walked up to the mother and daughter and asked the woman, "Did your husband open an outdoor goods store in X City?" ”

The woman's eyes lit up when she heard Meng Soul's words, and her chicken-like hand grabbed Meng Soul: "Have you seen him?" How is my husband? Please tell me! ”

Looking at the woman's eyes full of begging, Meng Soul suddenly didn't know what to say, sighed, Meng Soul shook his head, the woman fainted with a scream, and the girl cried and pounced: "Mom! What happened to you? Don't scare me! ”

Meng Soul was not in the mood to continue to turn, so he asked the fat man to help call a flatbed truck, took the mother and daughter back to the inn, and settled the mother and daughter, Meng Soul walked out of the house, these two were the wife and daughter of the owner of the outdoor goods store at that time, in the boss's bedroom Meng Soul saw a group photo of the three of them, and the person who thought they would never see again saw it here, but these two people just felt familiar at a glance, and they thought about it for a long time before they remembered, the world is impermanent.

At dinner, the woman woke up, sitting at the table with blank eyes, the girl looked at her mother with a worried face on the side, heard the footsteps, the woman raised her head, and saw Meng Soul walking in, the woman asked in a hoarse voice: "This gentleman, where did you meet my husband?" Could you please tell me? ”

Meng Soul told the woman about the outdoor goods store after the outbreak of the virus (see Chapter 11 for details).

The woman's surname is wind, which is a rare surname in the Celestial Empire, according to legend, it is owned by Taihao Fuxi in Taikoo, and only a few people in the country have this surname, the woman's name is very good, called wind chimes, and the boss has been married for many years, with this daughter, before the outbreak of the virus, the woman took the woman to visit the newly built park in XA City, but she didn't expect the virus to suddenly break out, and experienced the initial chaos, the woman took her daughter to hide on the roof of a house, and after avoiding the initial chaos, the army marched in and slowly cleaned up the zombies within the city walls, And began to rely on the ancient city wall to establish a base, the woman barely survived, wanted to find her husband, but a woman with a child can not go far at all, women have no skills, during this time women are by selling their bodies to support themselves and their daughters, today to the market is to take rice in exchange for some cheaper coarse grains, a pound of rice can be exchanged for two pounds of corn or three pounds of bran, the two rely on this to make a living.

Meng Soul settled the two of them in the inn and asked Li Ke to make some food for them to eat, and meeting them today can be regarded as a little compensation for getting the boss's weapons and equipment in the outdoor goods store.

The mother and daughter didn't know how long it had been since they had eaten serious food, and the two of them devoured the food of the four or five people, and Meng Soul was stunned, if it weren't for the fear that the two would die, Meng Soul would not be allowed to continue to give them food, and the two of them would probably be able to eat......
