Chapter 61: Hangzhou (Kneel and beg for collection)
With Su Zhuo here, and Zhang Bin always providing the best route to travel, although there was some trouble along the way, a few people still arrived safely outside Hangzhou.
From a distance, Hangzhou looks like a city of the past, with high walls built and at least four or five kilometers of fences, moats, and barbed wire connected to electricity. Su Zhuo learned from the Internet that the high-voltage current is a great threat to the Zerg below the third level.
Except for when the insect tide is attacking the city, in normal times, there are not many Zerg outside Hangzhou City, and gunners and snipers will kill the Zerg who are close to a certain range of Hangzhou City, even if the Flame Demon Worm comes to Hangzhou alone, it is difficult to go back alive, but it is conceivable that they will inevitably bring great trouble to Hangzhou City.
There was a loud rumbling sound, and in the middle of the barbed wire, an iron gate slowly rose, this was the first layer of defense five kilometers away from the city wall of Hangzhou, where countless soldiers and transformers were stationed, as well as various heavy weapons in the fortifications, and Su Zhuo even saw in it the interstellar heavy artillery that would only be used on the original interstellar fortress.
"How many renovators are there in Hangzhou City now?" Su Zhuo asked. He knows that the population of Hangzhou is about 5 million, of which there are 150,000 troops, and the number of reformers is 9,000 on the day of the end of the world, and he doesn't know the data after that.
"There are about 20,000 people. This is still the formation of combat effectiveness. We have 50 transformation machines on our side, which can produce 500 transformers per day, and it has been 4 months since the end of the world, and at least 60,000 transformers have been transformed, but most of them have not yet formed combat effectiveness. Yang Bing said.
"60,000 people ......" Su Zhuo was slightly stunned in his heart, but his expression did not change at all, but nodded slowly.
In this way, Hangzhou's protective force is much stronger than the city in Africa that was attacked by 100 blue worms, and if the Zerg can only use blue worms at most, then it will be difficult to take Hangzhou City with 3 times as many blue worms.
Someone came over and asked Wells who was driving a question, and also got into the car, checked several people in the car, asked each person's name and origin one by one, and when Su Zhuo was asked, the major who asked said, "Who is this?" ”
"One of the modders we met on the road was named Su Zhuo."
Su Zhuo nodded and said, "I'm from the Yuhang base." ”
"That famous underground base?" Su Zhuo saw that the major was slightly moved, obviously Yuhang Base is quite famous.
"Yes." Su Zhuo nodded, a little surprised.
The major looked up something on a handheld computer, then compared it with Su Zhuo again, and then saluted, "I'm sorry Lieutenant Colonel, I didn't know you came here!" ”
Wells Yang Bing and the others in the car all looked at Su Zhuo with some surprise, how old is this young man in front of him? It's just a matter of great strength, maybe people have some adventures and can't envy them, but he turned out to be a lieutenant colonel.
Since the end of the world, at least a slightly more powerful reformer will be invited by the government to join the army, so now the military rank is often related to strength, but it does not mean that the high strength is the high rank, which also has a lot to do with a person's behavior, wrist relationship, etc.
After all, the benefits brought by military rank are sometimes not brought by strength, just like now, as soon as the major knew that Su Zhuo was a lieutenant colonel, he was in awe, the strict hierarchy of the army is not for fun, and Su Zhuo, as a lieutenant colonel, as long as it is within the scope of authority, he has the right to call any place, a certain number of transformers and troops, and now, this rule applies to the whole world.
"I'm just here to see Hangzhou this time, not on behalf of the Yuhang base." When Su Zhuo said this, the major vaguely understood that the young man in front of him was asking for a low profile, so he naturally wouldn't say anything, so he said, "I know." ”
The armored vehicle was released. After that, there was no obstacle at the level, and the armored car drove all the way to Hangzhou City, and at the north gate of Hangzhou City, there was an iron gate weighing 100,000 catties, and under this iron gate, at least 200 Zerg of all kinds were crushed to death, including the magic pattern flying insects with extraordinary strength.
Su Zhuo finally entered Hangzhou City, and Yang Bing asked cautiously, "I don't know what your plans are when you come here, Lieutenant Colonel." ”
Su Zhuo thought for a while and said, "I'm not familiar with everything here, so I'll follow you first, I don't know if it's okay." ”
"Yes, you can." Li Qiang hurriedly nodded and said, with a person like Su Zhuo with good strength and high military rank, it is much more convenient to do anything. Li Qiangke still remembers that it took a lot of effort for the head of their organization to get the rank of major, and the young man in front of him was casually with the rank of lieutenant colonel.
Everything in the city has basically not changed, but on the streets and alleys, you can often see suspended armored vehicles parked, and the pedestrians look quite extraordinary, and many of them have weapons.
But despite this, after all, most of the 5 million people in Hangzhou are still ordinary people, with the protection of the army, these people have experienced the initial fear, and they have slowly begun to get used to the current life, in addition to receiving the necessary training every day, in fact, the life they live has not changed much from the past. In addition to not being able to travel elsewhere, the largest range of activities is also concentrated in a circle of hundreds of kilometers, but the life of ordinary people, going to and from work, surfing the Internet for entertainment and leisure, getting married and having children, birth, old age, sickness and death...... Nothing has really changed much.
It has been four months since the end of the world, and now people have slowly begun to get used to and adapt to today's life.
The armored car drove into the back of a building close to the city center and stopped in the parking lot, Su Zhuo saw that the huge parking lot, almost half of which were armored cars, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, he knew that the lives of the people on the ground now, although they were very nervous, but they would not be everywhere armored cars.
"What do you guys do?" Su Zhuo asked.
"Our boss has established a mercenary organization to help the government and individuals complete some tasks, you know, there are more and more reformers now, and it is difficult for the government to take care of them, so with the acquiescence of the government, some good reformers began to engage in the mercenary industry."
"It's very risky." Su Zhuo asked, and he took a few words from them. I learned that they went to more than 20 people this time, and only 4 of them came back.
"If you're lucky, it won't be very big, if you're unlucky, you can only pray that you are the one who can survive, just like this time, more than 20 of us went on a mission, and there were more than 40 people from 2 other mercenary organizations with us, but as a result, the team was scattered, a total of more than 70 people, how many can come back, it's still unknown."
They entered the building, on the first floor of the building, showed their documents to a well-dressed man in front of the counter, and then scanned their pupils in turn, but when it was Su Zhuo's turn, there was some trouble, Yang Bing called the people above the building three times for this, and finally exempted Su Zhuo from inspection, and they took Su Zhuo into the elevator.
Su Zhuo slowly closed his eyes, tranquility was the first feeling he had after coming to this city, although after entering the city, there were inevitably noisy sounds everywhere, but in Su Zhuo's opinion, this was an incomparably peaceful world, because he could finally say goodbye to those hateful Zerg voices, the hiss of the Zerg, in the past 4 months, has been with him all the time. And now, he is 80 kilometers away from the edge of the city, and the voice of the Zerg can hardly be transmitted here.
All around, in the warm winter sun, are the voices of his people, although there are quarrels and complaints, but this is the society he is familiar with, no longer underground, no longer full of zergs, but a real society that still retains the social order before the end of the world.
"If I could, I wish I never had to go back to that underworld." Su Zhuo said slowly in his heart, and then sighed.
The elevator stopped on the 20th floor, and they walked out, turned to the right, and then came to a stop in front of a "chairman's office".
"This is the office of our regimental commander."
Su Zhuo was still very interested in the mercenary group that Yang Bing said, Yang Bing knocked on the door, and then the door opened automatically.
"In the huge office, it is very clean, there are two bookcases of books next to it, and in front of the door, there is a black desk, at this moment, a middle-aged man, is sitting at the desk, the door opens, the middle-aged man's eyes glanced at the others, and then fell on Su Zhuo's body, showing an interested look.
Several people walked in, and the middle-aged man smiled: "You are Su Zhuo?" ”
Su Zhuo nodded, and it only then did he realize that he didn't know the name of the head of the mercenary group. The middle-aged man stood up, came to Su Zhuo's side, stretched out his hand and said, "I'm Roger, the leader of the Tianxiong Mercenary Group. ”
Su Zhuo shook hands with him, "Hello." ”
Roger glanced at the other people and said, "You go to Deputy Commander Ivan and get paid for this mission." ”
"Yes." Yang Bing said yes to several people, and retreated one by one.
Only then did Roger look at Su Zhuo, "Su Zhuo, I don't know what your plans are when you come to Hangzhou this time?" ”
Su Zhuo said lightly: "I want to feel the life on the ground." ”
"No problem." "I have a 200-square-meter house in the city center, and I have everything. As he spoke, he took out a bunch of keys from his purse, "I can ask Yang Bing to take you over, you can stay here first, and you can stay as long as you want." ”
Su Zhuo was not polite, he took the key, he came to Yangzhou, he was not familiar with the place, there was such a local snake who took the initiative to make friends, why not.
The two of them talked about some topics again, generally talking about some things since the end of the world, as well as various changes in Hangzhou, and some strange things that are happening now.
"By the way, Su Zhuo, I see that your energy capacity has not exceeded 10,000C, right?"
Su Zhuo nodded, "Yes, it's still a little worse." ”
"Before it reaches 10,000C, you can kill the Flame Demon Worm...... Gee. Roger gave him an appreciative look.
Su Zhuo asked: "Why, here in Hangzhou, the master with an energy capacity of more than 10,000C, how?" ”
Roger said: "That's a lot. Hangzhou City a long time ago, there were good people, arranged a list of masters, among which Ling Hao, who ranked first, had reached at least 20,000C in the last data release, and was known to be the strongest person in Hangzhou. ”
"Lightcontroller?" Su Zhuo asked, and only the light controller can use his flesh and blood to fight against the blue worm, because the more the light controller grows, the greater the ability to control the light, which happens to be the nemesis of the blue worm. It is said, of course, it is just the news that Su Zhuo saw from the Internet, the light controller has grown to the extreme, and any light attack between heaven and earth cannot hurt the light controller, and even more, some people say that the light controller will cultivate to the extreme, as long as there is light, the light controller will not die or die!
Su Zhuo once saw a website do a poll, allowing netizens to choose the top ten strongest transformer categories, and the light controller was far ahead of the other transformers with an absolute number of votes, becoming the strongest transformer in people's hearts.
Roger nodded, "And the energy capacity of 20,000C was still 1 month ago, and now, no one knows how far Ling Hao has grown." ”
"Here in Hangzhou, how many masters have an energy capacity of more than 10,000C?"
"I guess there are at least a few dozen of them. I know one, named Li Pengyu, who is still in the top ten on the list, and the energy capacity is about to break through 20000C according to him, if you are interested, I can introduce you another day. ”
Su Zhuo was very interested in the aspect of the renovators, they had been chatting for a long time, and Su Zhuo also had an understanding of the situation of the renovators in Hangzhou today.
The remodelers of Hangzhou are roughly divided into three parts.
The first part, and the most powerful part, belongs to the military and has the most elite 30,000 transformers, and half of the masters on the transformer strength ranking are from the military.
The second part is the free reformers, which accounts for about 30,000 of all reformers, and the proportion of the strong reformers is lower than that of the military, but the number of strong people is higher than that of the mercenary group.
The third part is the mercenary organization, now the strength of the mercenary organization is gradually getting stronger and stronger, and the number of people is increasing day by day, maybe one day, the number of transformers of the mercenary organization will surpass the free reformers, and the mercenary organizations often have a stronger cohesion than the free reformers, and now if you talk about the overall strength, the mercenary organization may not be weaker than the free reformers.
The two chatted for a long time, until the sky gradually darkened, Su Zhuo said goodbye, and refused Roger's invitation to eat. Out of Roger's office, Su Zhuo unexpectedly found that Yang Bing and the others were still here.
"Senpai!" Li Qiang walked over with a smile, "We'll send you back." ”
Su Zhuo glanced around, but didn't find Zhang Bin, except for the perceiver, Wells Yang Bing was here.
The three of them had joy on their faces, and Su Zhuo guessed that maybe they had received a lot of benefits because they had brought themselves here this time. Su Zhuo did not refuse, and agreed to their request, he didn't know the way, and it was just right for them to lead the way.
When he was heading towards the city center, Li Qiang chattered endlessly, introducing everything about Hangzhou to Su Zhuo, "Senior, you should really go to West Lake to see if you have time, the last days have become like this, that place is still so beautiful, it is really like a fairyland on earth." But then his words greatly overshadowed the previous sentence, "If you have any needs, you can also go to Paradise of the Fallen, where the girls, tsk, really don't have to say!" ”
Su Zhuo didn't speak, leaned on the back seat of the car and closed his eyes. Yang Bing was afraid that Li Qiang would say something wrong, so he frequently glanced at Li Qiang, but the latter didn't seem to see it at all, and still talked to himself.
"And ......"
"Is there any sweet milk?" Su Zhuo suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Yang Bing.
Yang Bing was stunned for a moment before he said, "Yes." She hurriedly opened the freezer on the side, took out a large jug of milk from it, poured a glass, and handed it to Su Zhuo.
Su Zhuo took a sip, then frowned, the taste was not what he liked. He immediately gave Yang Bing a sign and said, "Help me get some of this milk." ”
"Oh, yes." Yang Bing heard Su Zhuo's request and hurriedly went to call.
Su Zhuo closed his eyes again.
The car drove into the bustling commercial street in the city center, where it was full of bustling people. When you are here, you don't feel the feeling of the end times, the towering buildings, the colorful lights, the advertisements playing on the big screen, everything is no different from the world before the end of the world. Su Zhuo raised his head and looked up through the car window, the sky was divided into the same regular rectangle by the rectangular high-rise buildings.
The car drove into the underground garage, and then the group got out of the car, entered the elevator, and headed to the top floor.
"Do you know where you can repair your armor?" Su Zhuo asked.
"We have it in the mercenary group." Li Qiang said.
"What if I ask the best?"
"On the street from the city hall, a group of scientists volunteered to repair weapons and armor for the modders." Yang Bing said.
"Obligation?" Su Zhuo asked.
"Yes, they say, this is their last bit of strength to serve all mankind."
The elevator stopped on the 68th floor of the topmost floor, on this floor, there were only two sets of rooms in total, and when Su Zhuo entered, Yang Bing took Su Zhuo and walked to the right.
At this moment, Su Zhuo suddenly paused, turned his head, and looked at the other door behind him.
He felt a very familiar feeling, but for a moment, he suddenly forgot who it was coming from.
"Who's living there?" Su Zhuo asked, looking at a few people.
They all shook their heads.
Yang Bing opened the door for Su Zhuo, and Su Zhuo felt that the feeling gradually faded and finally dissipated.
Maybe it's a delusion? Su Zhuo thought so, there are not many people who can make him feel this way, such as his mother, such as uncle, such as his biological father, such as ......
