Among these human settlements called cities, Chang'an should be the thickest name. I came here once and was very impressed with both the heavy monuments and the old snacks.

"Need to go into town?" I asked Liu before taking the steering wheel.

Liu thought for a while and said: "There are not many things to eat, the supplies are still early, we try not to enter the city, and see if there is a way outside the city." ”

Like a bay close to the interior, all kinds of white waste gradually appear on the roadside, stretching into patches in the night, which is very eye-catching. I was driving the car, but suddenly I remembered something from a book.

"Humans are perhaps the dirtiest animals in the world, they stench, they insult the law, they defile the spirit of nature, and they are as pervasive as bacteria. They are the cancer of the world! It's a shame on natural history! ”

At the time, I also thought that this statement was too extreme, and the person who said this must be a loser of human society, and vent his dissatisfaction in this way. But after going through a few things, I suddenly realized that I didn't have the same aversion to this statement as I used to be.

It wasn't until dawn that I was amazed to find that the white waste was actually a shack made of woven bags or something!

How can such a place be inhabited? I looked at the shacks on the side of the road in amazement, such a sight can only be seen in some extremely poor countries, not to mention that it is far from poverty, just the groups of Gega in the wilderness, this kind of place is like a Gega canteen!

Xiao Kan rubbed his eyes and woke up, also frightened by the scene outside the window, "What's going on?" ”

"How do I know that the people in this place may be Superman!" I shrugged, reluctant to think about it, and vaguely guessed something.

Gege also woke up, and took over and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the people who live here are civilians who have been kicked out!" ”

"Kicked out, why?" I asked.

"I've also heard that some cities have adopted this approach." Gege took the water bottle and took a sip, "There are still very few cities that can have applicable technology like Dong Zheng, many cities only have very limited strength, there are no natural dangers to defend, and there are not enough people, what will you do?" ”

"Shorten the line?" I asked tentatively.

"Yes, but in this way, the scope of the city is narrowed down, and they use a measurement similar to the contribution value. Protection is available to all those who contribute to the defense of the city, while others can only live outside the city! Gege said.

"Then there is no need to live here, the city guards are shrinking inward, and the vacant part can still live, so why suffer here. What's more, this kind of shack is simply not protective at all! I asked.

"They were forcibly evicted from the city!" Gege's face changed a little, "The terrain in the city is complicated, and it is difficult to deal with it after Gejia enters, so the useless city area is basically blasted, these people live on the periphery, and there is a certain distance from the main city, in fact, it is a city wall!" ”

"The city walls?" After a little thought, I understood what Gege meant, "Stop?" Doesn't this indirectly increase the number of Gega? ”

Gege stopped talking, his face was very ugly, I looked at her strangely, and expressed my understanding in my heart, this practice can be said to be completely dehumanized, and no one can bear to say anything more about this.

"Find a place to stop and ask what's going on!" Liu was also woken up by us, and said lazily.

There was a gas station in front of me, and I saw that there seemed to be someone over there, so I drove the car in, just in time to see if there would be gas.

"Gear up!" Before I got out of the car, I reminded them that the people in this place were already insanely poor, and that I didn't want to be ransacked by a gang of hungry people.

This gas station is very well equipped, like a small service area, but now it is dilapidated, and the supermarket sign is hanging down with only one word, which looks full of metaphors for the end times.

The tanker has broken down, and it is estimated that the oil has been completely emptied. I was walking around with my gun in my hand, when I suddenly saw a small head sticking out of the corner of the wall, and dark eyes were looking at me curiously and fearfully.

It was so cute that I couldn't help but laugh and pull out a chocolate bar and crouch down to say hello.

The child was completely unmoved by me, except that his eyes were teasing the chocolate bar in my hand.

Xiao Kan also saw the child, and took two steps over there, "Little brother, you come out and my sister will give you candy to eat." ”

The child was about to run when he saw Xiao Kan walking towards him, but when he heard Xiao Kan say that there was candy to eat, he stopped, and finally timidly moved out from behind the corner.

I didn't expect Xiao Kan Wolf's grandmother-like appearance to really coax a child, I looked at Xiao Kan Baotou's flower turban and complained in my heart, but I was immediately startled by this child.

The child was wearing a trouser vest of no visible color, covered with all kinds of dirt, and the exposed arms and legs looked like those of the hungry people in Africa, and the knees were covered with black marks of dried blood, and the abrasions were obviously inflamed and swollen, and the legs were as thin as a match.

Xiao Kan was obviously startled, and then took off her coat to put it on him, but when the child saw her get up, she was scared away.

I saw Xiao Kan chasing after me, and I shouted anxiously in my heart and ran over, who knew that turning the corner was an empty parking lot, I looked around and didn't find anyone, the strange child disappeared like a ghost!

I didn't expect that there were really living people, I walked back with a gun and thought, wearing so little on such a cold day, this child can't be mutated too, right?

Xiao Kan's face was a little pale, and he looked up and asked me, "Where did he go?" Isn't it cold to wear so little? ”

Of course, I couldn't answer her question, so I had to say, "We'll look for it later, if there are adults, the child will definitely be fine." ”

Liu Dongxi walked out of the supermarket and restaurant, and when they saw me, they complained, "Hell! There is nothing in this place, and you say that these people run to live in shacks without living in such a sturdy house, are they sick in the brain? ”

"Who says no one? I just saw one! "I told Liu Shiwu about the child I saw just now.

"It's really fake, you must have met a ghost!" Liu Dongxi didn't believe it at all.

"Believe it or not!" I didn't bother to explain it to him.

Liu Donghe smiled, "Let's rest here, the inside of the house is quite clean, just to block the wind!" ”

"Okay!" Although I still think that there is something wrong with the child just now, it is just a child, and it is not a threat to us.

We drove under the shed at the gas station, and as is customary, I came to watch the wind, and they went in to rest.

Not far away were the dilapidated shacks, and I jumped on the roof of the car and looked into the distance with my binoculars, but I didn't find anything alive. But I always had the feeling of being watched, and those eyes came from the shacks around me, sharp as knives.
