Chapter 168: The Slums
This is the outermost area of the base, which was once an old residential area and was now designated as a temporary resettlement site by the government.
Dozens of residential buildings no larger than 10 storeys, with mottled concrete walls, rusty old iron windows crawling with vines, and colorful clothes hidden in between, survivors with miserable expressions passing by the broken pavement, occasionally kicking the garbage littered on the enclave.
This is what the people at the base call the civilian area, they are all ordinary people before Resident Evil, even if the money can still be used, how much money can be saved.
Therefore, the place where these former toiling people lived, also known as the slums, was poor before, and is still poor, with a small room crowded with several people, struggling to live.
Lu Tian walked casually, the smell of garbage was occasionally clearly smellable, and most of the people he met lowered their heads, as if something was pressing on them.
Their suffering was faintly felt by Lu Tian, no matter what era or place, there will always be a group of people who are located at the lower levels of society and live under oppression.
A faint laughter came, all of them were some immature children, and Lu Tian had heard such an innocent voice for the first time in his journey.
"Sister Xue, I'm here!"
"Hee-hee, I'm here."
"Sister Xiaoyin is hiding behind you, catch her quickly~"
"Hmph, little rabbit, dare to expose your sister's location, see if I don't clean you up~"
A familiar voice came from a somewhat dark entrance, it was Wu Xiaoyin, a stupid girl, and it seemed that Li Qingxue was also inside.
"Haha, I've got you, see how you run!"
Li Qingxue faded from the charm on her body at this time, like a cheerful butterfly, with a pure smile under her blindfolded eyes, and was playing a child's game in Lu Tian's eyes.
More than a dozen children were hiding in the corner with their mouths covered, all wearing somewhat tattered clothes, watching their Snow sister's jokes at this time.
As soon as Lu Tian walked in, he was hugged by Li Qingxue, making him a little speechless.
"Oh, it's not Xiaoyin, who are you?"
Li Qingxue felt that the sense of touch was wrong, and immediately let go, Wu Xiaoyin was not so tall, nor was she so strong, she just felt the muscles of the person in front of her.
"You're having fun."
As soon as she took off the black cloth in front of her, she heard Lu Tian's words, and the familiar voice didn't let her continue to retreat.
A pair of dark and bright eyes slightly adapted to the light, and saw Lu Tian's figure clearly, her face was slightly red, like a frightened rose, extremely beautiful.
"Oops, why did you hug him again, it's the second time I've taken the initiative~"
Thinking of this, her face turned even redder, her eyebrows were shy, and she didn't dare to look at the man in front of her.
"Hehe, Sister Xue blushed!"
Wu Xiaoyin, the initiator, ran over to make trouble, making her ashamed and annoyed, "You little girl, see how I fix you!" ”
The sound of giggling echoed in the dilapidated little courtyard, and even the few small flowers by the window shook happily.
Lu Tian didn't bother the play between the women, just calmly admired the beautiful scenery, and the two of them looked very energetic!
More than a dozen children were a little scared when they saw Lu Tian such a stranger, and they didn't come out, and watched from a distance timidly.
"What a familiar look!"
Lu Tian sighed nostalgically that he was a left-behind child when he was a child, and for a while he was like this, he had low self-esteem and was afraid of people, and he didn't even dare to talk to strangers.
After a few glances, most of these children are ** years old, there are two twelve or thirteen-year-old, and there are three little ones who are only four or five years old, and there are a total of 15 people.
"Hey, Lu Tian, how did you find it?"
After some frolic, Li Qingxue's face was a little ruddy, she gently wiped the slight sweat on her forehead, and asked curiously.
"Hmph, it must have been said by Brother Wu."
Wu Xiaoyin pouted and said dissatisfiedly, her face still looked too immature, like a high school student, and her voice was like a child.
"You two are staying here for the past few days?"
"Of course, come here, this is Brother Lu Tian, a good friend of Sister Xue!"
Li Qingxue gently shouted to the ten children, waving her snow-white arms and asking them to come over.
"Big brother is good~"
Several people greeted Lu Tian in unison, their eyes a little curious.
"Hello!" Lu Tian smiled and nodded.
Wu Xiaoyin quit, "Brother Lu, what about your meeting gift?" ”
Lu Tian smiled for a moment, "I didn't bring any gifts, what do you want?" Tomorrow for you. ”
More than a dozen little ones shook their heads at the same time, indicating that there was no need to give gifts.
"How's this going to work, get something to eat! You must have it in your bag! ”
Wu Xiaoyin's eyes stared at Lu Tian's bag, which meant self-evident.
"Okay, I'll give you something to eat!"
Lu Tian is not afraid, he doesn't have much in his bag, but there are still a few tons in the space ring, and when he opened the bag, he had already transferred a bunch of them.
Under the cover of the backpack, dozens of packages of packaged food of various colors were taken out by him, and Xiaoyin and Li Qingxue divided them among more than a dozen children.
"Thank you, big brother!"
Everyone happily held the food in their hands, they usually had food to eat, it had been a long time since they had eaten such a delicious food.
"Lu Tian, let's go out and talk."
"Xiaoyin, you can play with them first."
Li Qingxue said a word to Lu Tian and Xiaoyin, and then walked outside, leaving a slender back.
Although there are many people living here, most of them go out to look for work during the day, and it is relatively quiet. At sunset, the golden sunlight fell on her, like an elegant and beautiful goddess.
"I just came over and had a look, and it wasn't interesting."
Lu Tian took a breath of the air with the smell of rust, which was the smell of time.
"I know, I want to help them, these are orphans, their relatives died at the beginning of Resident Evil, and then fled here with difficulty, only the government gave them a place to stay, and I saw beauty and hope in them."
A bit of motherhood emanated from her, more beautiful than this sunset.
"Do you think you can do it? After this morning's events, your money may not be of much use, what can you do to help? ”
Li Qingxue was silent, but she didn't want to give up, "At least I won't stop ...... today"
"Okay, I hope you can do it, I'm leaving."
A gust of wind whistled by, Lu Tian left quickly, Li Qingxue was silent for a long time, and her expression was complicated.
"Sure enough, you won't make a move, are you really an indifferent person?"
Her color dimmed a little, and Lu Tian did not give her support, nor did he oppose her behavior, which made her a little lost.
Lu Tian's body jumped, his facial muscles squirmed, and he turned into the appearance of an eagle, and he couldn't do much about Li Qingxue's behavior.
Although he sympathizes with those children, there are too many people to be able to help, except for a few cases, he will not violate his principles to help those who are worthless.
Maybe he will help once in a while, but he will not become a philanthropist after all, because he is not an ordinary person, he is the leader of a large organization, and resources are not used randomly.
Li Qingxue has helped more than a dozen children, but this is a disaster world, when she meets the same children in the future, will she help or not?
If she falls into this vicious circle, Lu Tian will inevitably have a conflict with her, which is why Lu Tian doesn't like his subordinates to be too kind.
Beauty is a sin, greed is a sin, kindness is sometimes a sin, and he doesn't like Our Lady, after all, the predators of the supernatural world have long been deeply rooted in his heart.
When Lu Tian came to the garrison of the armed police, he found that there were people coming and going, and he pulled a person to ask, only to learn that the troops were being reorganized, and the armed police brigade would be placed under the jurisdiction of the new army, and all the fighters would have to be cleaned up again, so as to provide accurate data for future operations.
Yuan Xiong was sitting in his office, he had just met Luo Jianjun, and from now on, he would obey his dispatch.
"Captain Yuan, do you want to continue tonight's mission?"
A flat voice came into his ears, and he put down the documents in his hand and got up to greet Lu Tian.
"Eagle, before I have time to thank you for saving those brothers this morning, without you, they would probably have been eaten by those zombies."
As a non-commissioned officer in the army, he naturally got the news a long time ago. He had already heard about the situation in other bases, and this morning, there were quite a few people who fainted and died under the zombie minions who woke up early. He knew some of Lu Tian's situation, and he was naturally grateful to this person who saved his soldiers.
"The task of removing the zombies will continue, but the situation has changed a bit, after all, the base has added thousands of troops."
Lu Tian raised his eyebrows, "Is there a regiment here?" ”
"Well, I will also eat under Commander Luo in the future, tonight's task will be increased, and we are going to deal with the zombies of one kilometer around at one time, and create a good environment for the base's next plan."
Yuan Xiong handed Lu Tian a piece of information, "The clearance plan is on it, you better follow us, we will carry out tasks in the east and south of the base." ”
Lu Tian quickly read the information, and the operation began half an hour later, that is, at six o'clock.
Ten minutes later, except for the armed police on the defensive, the rest of the people were fully armed and stood neatly in a phalanx.
Yuan Xiong shouted, "The action begins!" ”
This time, the army will not lure zombies, but everyone will directly sweep the nearby streets, and when a zombie comes out, they will solve one, which is much more active than before, and it is Luo Jianjun who brought enough ammunition to dare to do this.
This time, the zombies were cleaned up so quickly in order to build a city wall, so that the army could clean up the zombies around a kilometer, and the base would build a three-meter-high city wall about 500 meters away from the perimeter.
The base is planned to accommodate 500,000 living spaces, because of manpower, the three-meter wall is only the initial height, and it will naturally continue to be taller in the future.
Gunshots rang out in a dilapidated residential building, and more than a dozen zombies just came out of the lush grass or dark corners, and were broken into pieces by everyone, and the army of hundreds of people directly pushed sideways, these scattered zombies could not be stopped at all, and then they were collected together and burned.
