Chapter 111: Taizhou Survivors
Lu Xinghuo is also a flame ability, but his strength is far worse than Hu Kai, but it is still no problem to guard the flower garden, as long as the fog appears, the flames will burn, and his main task is to prevent mutant beasts from destroying the flower garden.
Jiang Feng knew that in another time and space, whether it was Liu Batian or Situ Kong, or other titled powerhouses, they all had a lot of strange and strange weapons and protective means under their command, and those means could often decide a battle, and these flower beds were protective weapons in Jiang Feng's eyes.
Hu Kai and Xia Jinming found that the flower garden was meritorious, Jiang Feng ordered someone to add 20 merit points to Hu Kai, Xia Jinming 10 merit points, and the other Sanming second-level evolutionaries each had 5 merit points.
These merit points are the reward and punishment system discussed in the gathering place, the first-level star crystal is worth one merit value, the second-level star crystal is worth ten merit points, the third-level star crystal is worth one hundred merit points, and the fourth-level star crystal is worth two thousand merit points.
Ordinary soldiers of the four legions have a fixed merit value to receive every month, which can be exchanged not only for star crystals, but also for materials.
However, correspondingly, all the star crystals confiscated by the legion must be handed over to the gathering place, and the smuggler is extremely guilty.
The absorption speed of the first-level star crystal is very fast, maybe someone can hide it privately, but the second-level star crystal is different, and the private collection and unauthorized use will definitely be discovered, which is also a way to maintain control in the gathering place.
There was a delay in the village for a long time, and it was not until the team led by Lu Xinghuo took over that the first army left.
Lan Zixuan was very interested in these flower beds and went to the village in person.
The 1st Army continued its march towards Hai'an.
On the other line, on the road to Jiangyin, thirty trucks of the Second Army were driving, and from time to time zombies appeared in groups and were killed.
Chai Wen and Tan Feng sat in the first truck.
In the distance, a long line approached.
Ye Mo ordered the convoy to stop, looking into the distance, the survivors who couldn't see the edge at a glance staggered forward, on both sides, hundreds of evolutionaries guarded, but the number was too small, and there were often survivors who were dragged away by zombies or mutant beasts, causing a burst of exclamations and cries.
At this time, everywhere, migration is accompanied by death and despair, and no one will migrate unless necessary.
"They are survivors of Taizhou," Chai Wen listened for a while and reported.
Ye Mo and the others came to the front, their convoy was only five kilometers away from the survivors, they saw the survivors, and those survivors also saw them.
Miao Hongwei was directing the evolutionaries and survivors to save themselves, and when he heard the report that a convoy had appeared in front of him, his first thought was to joke, where did the convoy come from at this time? But he also knew that no one dared to joke at this time, so he hurriedly walked to the front of the line, and sure enough, he saw the convoy in the distance.
"Director Duan, where do you think they came from?" After nearly five months of apocalypse, Miao Hongwei knew that they couldn't easily trust others at this time, and they had seen too much of the dark side of human nature along the way.
Duan Linxi looked at the convoy five kilometers in front of him, and the other party also stopped and was looking at them.
"A neat attire and a unified team should be a powerful organization," Duan Linxi analyzed.
"Same as Mingdu? Could it be from Mingdu? Miao Hongwei's face sank and asked.
Duan Linxi shook his head, "Impossible, the large army of Mingdu will not appear here, the other party will say that there are nearly a thousand people, and they should come from the surrounding gathering places."
"Anyway, at this time, I can only contact it first, just go to my door," Miao Hongwei decided.
After a while, Miao Hongwei took Duan Linxi and more than a dozen evolutionaries to the front of the team.
Ye Mo and the others stepped forward, "Where are you from?" ”。
"Taizhou, what about you?" Duan Linxi replied.
"Su Yang".
Miao Hongwei glanced at each other, unable to hide their excitement, "You are from Suyang?" What is the situation in Suyang City? ”。
"It's better than other cities, why don't so many of you stay in Taizhou? Instead, migrated out? Ye Mo asked.
Miao Hongwei glanced at each other and said bitterly, "We don't want to migrate either, but...".
After the introduction of Miao Hongwei and others, Ye Mo and the others knew how unlucky they were.
There is a huge chicken farm in Taizhou in peacetime, after the end comes, thousands of hundreds of thousands of chickens have mutated, becoming terrifying mutant creatures, not only eating the rest of the chickens, but also vainly trying to keep humans in captivity, attacking humans from time to time, before they were led by third-level evolutionaries, even if they were attacked, they could resist a little, but some time ago, the only third-level evolutionaries in Taizhou were requisitioned to Mingdu, they were tantamount to being abandoned, and the death toll skyrocketed.
Helplessly, Miao Hongwei, as the secretary of the municipal party committee, can only take the survivors to migrate, of course, there are also a large number of survivors who are unwilling to leave, and only some of them appear on the road.
Mingdu, Mingdu again, Ye Mo frowned, Mingdu dispatched powerful evolutionaries from all over the world, and his strength rose sharply, even if he was defeated with the power of Su Yang's gathering place, it might be difficult to defeat him, and Mingdu transferred evolutionaries, this move put the life and death of the local survivors out of the way, and the impact was no less than sending these survivors into the mouth of the monster, no wonder the city lord advocated defeating Mingdu and killing Situ Kong.
"How's the strength of those mutant chickens?" Next to him, Tan Feng asked.
"Most of them are at the level of second-level creatures, there are dozens of third-level ones, and there is one fourth-level one."
"What? There are level 4 creatures? So how did you resist it? Tan Feng said strangely, they knew too well the terrifying nature of fourth-level creatures.
Duan Linxi explained, "Although these chickens are mutated, they have a single means of attack, just pecking with their mouths, of course ordinary people can't resist it, but the evolutionary is very easy, the third-level mutant chicken only needs the second-level evolutionary to be dragged down, and the fourth-level mutant chicken was almost killed by Yan Zheng when he attacked the gathering place, oh, Yan Zheng is our only third-level evolutionary, and he is also an alien."
"If it weren't for Yan Zheng's departure, we would be able to solve these mutant chickens one day," Miao Hongwei said bitterly.
Ye Mo sent people to report what happened here back to Suyang, more than 300,000 survivors in Taizhou, if they all want to migrate to Suyang, it will also be a huge burden on Suyang, but they can't ignore it, the only way is to solve those mutant chickens, and keep the survivors in Taizhou in place or migrate to other places.
At Ye Mo's request, 30,000 troops spent half a day here to protect the survivors on the spot, and the Second Army drove to Taizhou under the guidance of Duan Linxi.
Miao Hongwei and his family migrated for nearly ten days, and they were already far away from Taizhou, and nearly 20,000 of the hundreds of thousands of survivors died along the way.
Ye Mo and the others had long been accustomed to this kind of scene, even so, looking at so many corpses still made them very uncomfortable.
The stench is pervasive, and strange strange insects run through it, feeding on corpses.
Xia Jiangkun really couldn't look past it, waved his hand, layers of flames burned, and countless strange insects were burned with a crisp sound. Zhang Wei glanced at him, "Young people, the psychological capacity is still not enough."
"I just don't want to see humans reduced to food" Xia Jiangkun said in a deep voice, his face was ugly, he felt very lucky, if he hadn't been chosen to become an evolutionary and awakened his abilities, what was the difference between himself and those survivors now?
"In the apocalypse, this is very common, and one day we may all be reduced to food for some powerful creature and then excreted from our bodies," Su An said.
Not far away, Yang Wuqing smashed the water bottle in his hand at Su An, "If you don't speak, you will die, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth."
"It's called irony, do you understand irony?" Suan shouted.
"It's against your sister, it's anti, say something nice" Zhang Wei also scolded him, but what Su An said was not exactly a joke, but there was really that possibility.
Su An hated and stopped talking, but the atmosphere in the carriage had improved a lot, and it was no longer so dull.
Xia Jiangkun's behavior reminded Ye Mo that if the corpse was allowed to rot, it would not only become food for insect monsters, but even a plague might occur, without much consideration, Ye Mo sent people to burn the corpse all the way, and the smoke was billowing out.
The speed of the convoy was not fast, not only did the zombie mutant beasts block it along the way, but also the road conditions and many unexpected situations, and when the convoy arrived in Taizhou, it was already midnight.
"The Taizhou gathering place is next to that reservoir," Duan Linxi said, pointing to the distance, but it was the middle of the night and he couldn't see anything.
Tan Feng was surprised, "Do you dare to build a gathering place next to the reservoir, not afraid of the mutated creatures in the water?" ”。
"That reservoir has long been abandoned, there is not even water in it, where is the creature?" Duan Linxi explained.
Not far away, Chai Wen listened hard, his face heavy.
"What's wrong?" Ye Mo asked.
"In the direction of the reservoir, there are zombie attacks, and there are desperate cries and cries for help from human beings," Chai Wen said in a deep voice.
Everyone was silent, in the middle of the night, they couldn't risk doing something, otherwise the loss would be great, and the life of the evolutionary was obviously more precious than that of the survivors, this was not a hierarchical concept, but a reality that the end of the world had to face, because the evolutionary could do more.
Tan Feng remembered that Jiang Feng once said that sometimes, giving up is more uncomfortable than taking risks.
