In the evening, at the end of the wasteland, a large complex of buildings looms.

On the periphery of the complex, there is also a fence under construction, and the surviving people are busy like ant colonies in the sunset, surrounded by armed men armed with guns to maintain order.

Near the road part of the wall, a checkpoint was set up with two M1A2 Abrams main station tanks, as well as several Stryker armoured vehicles.

In addition, there are heavy machine guns, recoilless guns, anti-tank missiles and other heavy firepower equipment.

Pang Xuelin couldn't help but be secretly surprised, this survivor settlement was the best weaponized and relatively stable human stronghold he had seen since he crossed most of the United States.

Understandably, Colorado, like Utah, is one of the least populated states in the United States.

With a population of just under 2.5 million, the state is sparsely populated and home to national parks such as the Grand Canyon.

Therefore, it is a very good option to establish a foothold here.

I don't know who the head of this so-called Elwin Town is, and being able to establish such a settlement here shows that the other party is not bad.

Pang Xuelin's car stopped about ten meters away from the checkpoint, and soon the armed men guarding near the checkpoint also surrounded him, and one of the tanks even aimed its tank gun at Pang Xuelin's Ford F550 armored car.

Pang Xuelin got out of the car with an M4 carbine, and a man with a scar on his face walked up, pointed a gun at Pang Xuelin and said: "Put down all weapons and equipment, and inform me of my name, origin and purpose of coming to Erwin Town." ”

Pang Xuelin put down the gun and said: "My name is Pang Xuelin, I am from Ohio, I received a radio broadcast from Erwin Town, I heard that there is a safe settlement here, and it can also make people eat without being disturbed by zombies, so I wanted to come and have a look." ”

The white man and several armed men around him glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing: "That's right, this place can indeed keep her fed and clothed without worrying about the threat of zombies, but the premise is that you must be useful." ”

"Useful? What do you mean? ”

Pang Xuelin was a little puzzled.

Scarface said, "In Erwyn Town, food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, all require credits to buy. For example, you need to pay 1,000 credits for the entrance fee, and if you sleep every night, you will need 10 credits for a chase shop, and 100 credits for a single room. 5 credits for black bread and 10 credits for white bread. If you bring some more jam or butter, it will cost 15 credits......"

Pang Xuelin frowned and asked, "Is there a place to earn credits?" ”

Scarface said, "Of course there is, for example, you go to help build the city wall, go to work on the farm, 30 credits a day." If selected for the Elwyn Town Guard, you will receive 100 credits for one day. Every time you go out hunting, you will also be rewarded with a certain amount of credits. ”

When it came to rewards, Scarface looked at Pang Xuelin with a strange look.

Pang Xuelin was puzzled: "Hunting? ”

"It's to go to nearby towns to hunt zombies and search for useful supplies."

Pang Xuelin nodded, and said with some hesitation: "Then what if I don't want to come into contact with zombies?" ”

"Then you can be a worker or a peasant in the city in peace, and you won't starve to death anyway."

Pang Xuelin said: "This is fair, but the entrance fee is 1,000 credits, how to pay it?" I don't have any credits yet! ”

Scarface said: "The city implements a rationing system, and all new members who enter the city must hand over the materials they carry in exchange for credits. ”

Pang Xuelin said thoughtfully: "Then how many credits is my Ford F550 worth, and I still have a lot of canned meat and some weapons and ammunition in my car......"

"Canned meat?"

Scarface's eyes lit up and he said, "Take it out and let us see." ”

Pang Xuelin said: "You haven't told me how much these are worth?" ”

Scarface said: "You Ford F550, I'll give you 5000 credits." Now the most worthless are these cars, if you canned meat, one for five credits, one for one hundred credits for a long gun, and fifty credits for a short gun......"

Pang Xuelin frowned and said, "Can't the price be a little higher?" ”

Scarface said, "This is the unified purchase price of Erwin Town. If you don't want to sell, you can leave now......"

Pang Xuelin hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "I have another question, did a woman who was riding a motorcycle and looked particularly sexy come here before?" ”

Scarface looked at each other like his subordinates, and couldn't help but laugh lewdly, and said, "Boy, I didn't expect you to be a lover." You're talking about a woman with two swords, right? She's already in. ”

Pang Xuelin turned sideways and said, "Okay, you can count the supplies." ”

Scarface waved his hand, and soon, his men around him rushed into the car and removed all the bits and pieces from the car.

In addition to all kinds of canned meat, bread and other food, there are also a lot of weapons and ammunition.

Scarface is not unexpected, and those who can single-handedly kill here have two brushes.

However, Scarface has confidence in Erwyn Town, in his opinion, as long as there is a leader, after arriving in Erwyn Town, even the dragon has to be coiled, and the tiger has to lie down.

In the end, Scarface converted 8,000 credits to Pang Xuelin, and after deducting the 1,000 entrance fee, there was only 7,000 left.

Pang Xuelin didn't care, anyway, he grabbed all these things, and when it was time to leave, he would snatch them back.

"Boy, this is your credit card coupon, but once you're inside, you'll need to disinfect and quarantine for a day."

Pang Xuelin nodded in understanding.

There is a decontamination room just behind the checkpoint.

Pang Xuelin first entered the interior for a comprehensive disinfection, and then. Pang Xuelin was taken to a car.

The so-called town of Erwin is actually a complex of buildings, surrounded by a fence more than five meters high, and even the existence of a bunker.

"What do you think, this Elwin town is a bit like a prison?"

Pang Xuelin asked the armed men around him who escorted him to the quarantine area.

The armed man laughed and said, "Boy, don't you know yet? It was originally called Erwin Prison, but when the T-virus broke out, all the police were dead, but none of us who were in prison were fine. Then our boss, oh no, the Elwin Town Elder came to our rescue and put us on our feet! ”

"Mayor Mare?"

Pang Xuelin was slightly stunned.

The armed man said, "Anyway, if you have a chance to meet in the future, the town elder is amazing, he is our god!" ”

Pang Xuelin couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

No wonder these armed men I have seen are all fierce and vicious.

It turned out that it was all transferred by prisoners in prison.

But it is very rare that this mayor of the town can subdue all these people, and even maintain a certain order.

What the townspeople are building is actually the outer city wall.

Pang Xuelin estimated that the mayor was going to build a new wall because he was going to grow food on a large scale between the inner city and the outer city.

Near the gate to the inner city, there were two separate bungalows, the gates of which were chained and guarded by several armed men.

"Let's go inside."

The armed men at the door opened the iron door and motioned for Pang Xuelin to walk in.

Pang Xuelin nodded and stepped into the bungalow.

As soon as he entered the bungalow, Pang Xuelin smelled a smell of urine.

Pang Xuelin found that the room was densely packed with single beds with high and low bunks. There are more than 100 beds in total, and there are about 30 people in quarantine now.

On the other side, there is a simple toilet squatting pit, and there is no block, and the smell is very strong.

Most of the quarantined people were black and white, with only one being Asian with glasses.

Pang Xuelin frowned, he found that the more than thirty people were actually divided into two groups, and there were more than a dozen people in one wave, led by a white strong man, who looked at Pang Xuelin with unkind eyes.

The remaining dozen or so people were scattered in the corner, looking at the people on their backs with some horror.

Pang Xuelin's arrival attracted the attention of everyone on the scene.

Those scattered people looked at Pang Xuelin with a little schadenfreude in their eyes.

The Asian opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything.

Pang Xuelin turned a blind eye to everything in front of him and found a place to sit down.

The white strong man took the lead in getting up and walked towards Pang Xuelin with a grin.

The crowd around him followed.

"Boy, new here?"

The white man said.

Pang Xuelin nodded.

The white strong man grabbed the iron fence on Pang Xuelin's top, looked down at Pang Xuelin, and said with a smile: "When you passed the checkpoint just now, how many credits did your supplies convert?" ”

"Seven thousand!"

Pang Xuelin said truthfully.

Phew-

The white man whistled and laughed, "Brothers, we have met a fat sheep today." ”

"What? Do you want to grab it? ”

Pang Xuelin looked at the white strong man with a smile.

The white man said, "Boy, do you know who we are?" ”

"Who are you?"

Pang Xuelin smiled faintly.

The white strong man grinned and said, "We are the corpse hunters of Erwin Town, when you came in just now, those people at the checkpoint should have told you, every time the corpse hunters go out to hunt, there will be additional rewards......"

"You mean, we newcomers are your rewards?"

"Boy, yes, it's quite smart, yesterday it was our team's turn to go hunting, and we will quarantine for a day when we come back, this day belongs to the time for us to get the reward, boy, for the sake of your acquaintance, I won't beat you today, just hand over the credit coupons."

As he spoke, the white strong man stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to pat Pang Xuelin's cheek.

Pang Xuelin grabbed the wrist of the white strong man and smiled: "Do you know? I hate it when people kick my nose in the face! ”

In the next second, a huge fist suddenly appeared in front of the white strong man, and then the white strong man was directly knocked away by Pang Xuelin's punch, and with a bang, he fell to the ground.

The entire isolation room suddenly fell silent, and everyone was stunned by Pang Xuelin's actions.

The white man clutched the bridge of his broken nose and howled miserably, and after a while he shouted to his men who were standing still: "What are you still doing in a daze? Don't call me yet! ”

For the next minute, the quarantine chamber was filled with the miserable howls of people and the sound of thumping fists to flesh.

A minute later, each of the dozen or so people involved in the brawl was able to stand up.

The dozen or so newcomers looked at Pang Xuelin as if they had seen a ghost.

Pang Xuelin was not surprised, and walked in front of the white strong man calmly.

In the past two months, Pang Xuelin has experienced a lot of this kind of thing, so compared to the scene of killing people at every turn at the beginning, he is much more measured now.

Pang Xuelin patted the white man's nosebleed face and smiled: "Hey, hand over all the credit coupons on your body." ”

The white strong man looked at Pang Xuelin viciously and said: "Boy, you dare to beat me, you wait, our boss will not let you go after entering the city!" ”

Pang Xuelin smiled faintly and said: "Believe it or not, I will kill you now, and no one will say anything, this is the end of the world, have you forgotten the basic rules of the jungle?" A master with one against ten and a dozen waste, guess who your boss chooses! ”

As soon as Pang Xuelin said this, the expression on the white man's face changed suddenly.

He knew very well that in the whole town of Elwin, as long as it didn't touch the rules set by the mayor, then everything was reasonable.

For example, according to the previous rules, the members of the corpse hunting team can grab the credit coupons of the newcomer in the quarantine area, and in fact, the newcomer can also rob them back.

But newcomers can't have one mind, so they are not the opponents of the corpse hunter team at all, so they can only be bullied by the people of the corpse hunting team.

And for anything that happens in the quarantine area, even if someone dies, no matter which side it is, the town guards basically don't care.

The white strong man endured the pain, took out a stack of credit coupons from his pocket, and said, "Big ...... Big brother, can you leave me a little ...... Woo, that's all I've gotten from three times in a row......"

Pang Xuelin ignored his crying, snatched the credit coupon, and counted: "It's only five thousand?!" Pauper! ”

Then, Pang Xuelin blackmailed them one by one.

The strong white men all gave in, and his men were even more unbearable.

Half an hour later, Pang Xuelin had an extra 30,000 credit coupons in his hand.

Pang Xuelin lay on the bed beautifully, ignoring the envious or hateful or jealous gazes of everyone.

For the rest of the day, the quarantine area fell silent, with the occasional moaning of the burly white man and his men.

Pang Xuelin also ignored them, patiently waiting for the quarantine time to be completed.

The next morning, the white strong man and his men left the quarantine area, and at noon, another corpse hunting team entered the quarantine area, but perhaps they heard about Pang Xuelin's murderous name, and the leader did not provoke Pang Xuelin, but took the initiative to find Pang Xuelin and inform each other's names.

Towards evening, Pang Xuelin's 24-hour quarantine time was completed and he left the quarantine area.
