Chapter 204: The Price of an Iron Fist
He Hao continued to learn about the Daybreak Base from the mouth of the great mourner......
Because there are no laws in the wasteland, the survivors who inhabit it will gather in gangs to protect themselves from the oppression and plundering of others.
When a few gangs have formed a certain size, the meagre resources in the wasteland city simply can't satisfy them. Therefore, these gangs began to integrate into the clan, intending to be more decent, but they had long adapted to the main means of making a living by plunder, how could they be committed to being ordered by others, living a life of licking blood from the knife edge, and losing their lives at any time.
Therefore, these gangs resolutely left the Daybreak base and infiltrated the surrounding towns to become independent, and develop a more suitable survivor base for themselves.
At the beginning of the construction of the Daybreak Base, not only had to resist the zombies that invaded from the surrounding area, but also faced various survival pressures in the apocalypse. So there is no time and energy to unify the surrounding towns.
When everything was on track, the military at Daybreak Base discovered that the independent survivors had escaped. A considerable armed force has been formed. It is not difficult to recover it by force. But it's not easy. Unnecessary casualties and ammunition consumption discouraged the military's top brass from reuniting the perimeter.
Instead, when the military's top brass noticed that these independent bases could help them absorb some survivors who had nowhere to settle. It changed from the previous attitude of suppression to an attitude of help.
When the independent base that had put aside the struggle and fought against the military with the same hatred tasted the sweetness, they completely dismantled the previous alliance agreement and secretly accepted the olive branch of the military.
Soon, the independent base existed in name only. They have become the front line of the military. All that's left is the freedom of what it seems......
Therefore, there are 7 independent survivor bases around the Daybreak base -
The "White Crocodile Independent Base" represented by the nickname "Lao Yan".
"Port of Dismemberment" represented by the nickname "Black Dahlia".
The "Jianya Independent Base" represented by the nickname "The Third Prince of the Jin Family".
The "Elephant Mould Chamber of Commerce" represented by the nickname "Lu Cripple".
The "guerrillas of the last days" represented by the nickname "King Kong".
The "No. 13 Prison Base" represented by the nickname "Bai Baoshan".
The "Bear Child Gang" represented by the nickname "Jiaowa"
In addition to these named independent bases, it is unknown what was later formed, but they are also everywhere. After all, the materials that the military helps are a benefit that everyone is extremely greedy. So to the point where they are killing each other now......
He Hao understood. The current Daybreak Base has fallen into a state of chaos because of its large existence.
Not to mention the great power of the military, even the surrounding independent bases are difficult to estimate, and there are probably many masters among them.
Therefore, if we want to grow up in the last days from the cracks of these forces, we must speed up the construction. Drifting in the last days, He Hao is tired of it, and he really wants to have a home......
After He Hao had a preliminary understanding of the current situation of the Daybreak Base, he was about to inquire about other information, when an unexpected situation happened!
The security guard in charge of patrolling the bar suddenly noticed two companions lying on their stomachs in front of the office door, despite the dazzling laser lights flashing around them. But it's not hard to see that the scarlet blood is already flowing everywhere!
"There is a situation in the office! Everyone's here to help! One of the security guards quickly snapped the walkie-talkie on his shoulder and asked for help. At the same time order the companions to go out and inform the military personnel! I'm going to lay a net to catch the invaders!
This security guard is like a cat that steals. Half-crouched, along the wall. Sneaked up in front of the office door.
The sharp blade of a dagger is like the fangs of a viper. Pierced into the gap in the door, pried open a slit. Round eyes peeked greedily at the situation.
When the security guard found that the funeral was being held to the head with a gun, he couldn't hide his panic and shouted into the walkie-talkie: "The boss has been held hostage!" Hurry up, everyone! ”
It's just this simple whisper, actually in a noisy environment. was caught in the ears of Becky. She hurried to look at the source of the sound. After suddenly discovering the slippery eyeball, he was frightened.
Because the corner of the door obstructed the other party's vision, the security guard didn't realize that he had been detected at all, so he also tried in vain to attack He Hao and Lao Jiu.
Just as his security guard slowly reached into the door of the room, Xiaobei took out a dagger from his waist and touched it along the wall...... At the moment when the other party tried to pull the trigger, Xiaobei stabbed the dagger into that eye from the blind corner of his vision!
"Scared!" The other party seems to have been tempered by the end of the world, and when a cold light hits in front of him, he reflexively leans back to dodge. But it's still a step slow!
The sharp tip of the spur pierced directly into the security guard's lens!
"Ahh The heart-rending wail suddenly shook everyone's nerves!
Seeing that the assassination was not successful, Xiaobei quickly poked the muzzle of the shotgun in his hand out of the crack in the door and made up for it!
scorching; The scattered steel sand bullets directly tore through the upper body of the security guard and killed him!
"Discovered!" He Hao and Lao Jiu looked back and knew that the situation was not good.
And at the moment when everyone was distracted, the two men in suits who were out of control quickly put their hands into the inner pockets of their suits and pulled out their guns to fight back!
The situation got out of hand in an instant!
He Hao, Lao Jiu and Xiaobei scattered and rolled away, or jumped behind the sofa; or overturn the table and hide in place; Or hide next to a metal cabinet for cover.
The bouncing bullets were scattered in all directions in a room of more than ten square meters. The sparks poured like rain.
"****!" Lao Jiu pulled the butt of the shotgun in his hand. A shot at the overhead light under the table!
"Bang!" After the heavy gunshots, the bright room instantly became dark, even to the point where you couldn't see your fingers!
Then, under the cover of darkness, Lao Jiu leaned out half of his body out of the overturned table, and shot another shot at the position where the gunfire was still flashing!
"Uhh After a dull roar, it seemed that a man in a suit had been killed.
The other man quickly stopped shooting, he was not stupid, he knew that the flash of gunfire would reveal his position.
A fight in a room is no different from hand-to-hand combat, but the decision is only a matter of moments.
And at this moment, the people outside the room finally noticed something strange in the noise of the noise. The dancers all screamed and fled in all directions. Security guards patrolling the venue also gathered from all directions. But out of the shock of the three corpses in front of him, no one dared to step into the office, so he could only hold the exit with a gun at a loss.
The hand-to-hand shootout in the office stopped briefly before resuming.
Xiao Bei and Lao Jiu's complementary cover shots made the remaining man in a suit unable to fight back. Although he suppressed the other party to death, he didn't dare to be careless. After all, in a dark environment, everything is variable!
During this time, the escaped mourner rolled on the ground and crawled to a hidden safe, because of his familiarity, he could quickly turn the cipher disk even in the dark.
The moment he opened it, the emerald green fluorescence flowed through the room like a trickling stream!
Inside the safe is a pile of energy beads! The amount is staggering. And then there's a lot of gold, and a wad of purple bills tied up with rubber bands! There are even 3 F-series metal cubes and 1 Z-type metal cube!
The greedy mourner is like a hungry wolf, even when faced with an existential crisis, he does not forget to transfer his property. Death for money; The bird's interpretation of the food death is incisive!
"This idiot!" The man in the suit who resisted scolded angrily in his heart, because the stupid act of the great mourning would not only kill him, but even implicate himself!
Really. With the brilliance of the crystallized beads of energy. Lao Jiu vaguely caught the other party's escaping figure, and the next moment, he shot the last shotgun bullet into the back of the man in the suit at close range!
The dense steel grit spread out the moment it left the chamber of the gun, like a death claw full of anger, smashing the man in the suit!
The steel sand came out with thick blood, and because the injured area was too large, the man's body flew out, and the volley broke into two. The splattered blood stained the walls, as if the poor souls were imprisoned......
Ignoring everything that happened behind him, the Great Mourner didn't even get all his belongings into the backpack included in the safe before he quickly ran out of the ground and fled towards the back door.
After He Hao noticed it, he waved his palm and said, "Chase!" ”
Subsequently, Xiaobei followed He Hao to find the back of the mourning and chased into the alley behind the bar.
Lao Jiu at the back of the hall dropped the empty gun without bullets, and then grabbed the metal cabinet beside him and flipped it over at the door, making a final stop.
Seeing that the people outside the door still didn't dare to launch the slightest attack, he couldn't help but sneer: "Coward." Then, he also ran out the back door......
The alley behind the bar is very long, with public buildings on one side and residential buildings on the other. So this sandwiched alley twists and turns. Since the outbreak of the end times, a large amount of garbage and debris have been discarded here. So much so that some wandering survivors have made their home here.
Like a frightened jackal, the mourner with his backpack ran desperately down the alley, knocking down piles of debris, kicking over burning oil drums, and pushing even the elderly survivors who couldn't dodge to the ground.
"Get out of the way of Lao Tzu!" In the blurred vision, he saw a group of idle survivors gathered in front of him, and he couldn't help but roar, for fear that this group of people would block the way.
But the next moment, He Hao, who came wildly, jumped and kicked hard, directly causing the big mourning to penetrate the crowd. He even fell and his face was covered in blood.
The great mourning that had already lost his strength never got up again in this fall. Turning around with difficulty, he stared at He Hao, panting. Said to him: "Brother...... Brother, brother...... Cut me some slack. I'll give you money! As he spoke, he reached into his backpack and pulled out the wad of purple bills.
Unexpectedly. When the group of desperate survivors around them saw the banknotes in the hands of the great mourners, they actually showed a terrible look, this look was far above greed, and even some people got up and wanted to snatch it!
In the last days, banknotes are not as real as handpaper, but He Hao has to re-evaluate its value through the behavior of others. Could it be that the value of the currency has been restored in the Daybreak Base?
After seeing a trace of hesitation flashing in He Hao's eyes, Da Fu hurriedly explained: "New Minyuan! It's hard currency inside Daybreak! ”
"New Minmin?!" He Hao was slightly stunned.
"That's right! The Daybreak Base inside and out, including the surrounding independent bases, all recognize its value! It can buy most of the supplies! While saying this, Da Fu took out a pile from his backpack and threw it into He Hao's arms.
The purple banknotes look brand new and have the same texture as the pre-apocalyptic renminbi. It also belongs to cotton paper textiles.
The front is printed with a wood-grained dawn base watermark, and the concave and convex surface is used to distinguish the authenticity. There are also anti-counterfeiting silver lines and blind spots for the RMB. Even the numbering of the banknotes is readily available.
On the reverse side is the face value - 10 new yuan
"That's already the biggest face value!" Da Fu hurriedly explained: "The face value is divided into 1 yuan, 2 yuan, 5 yuan, and 10 yuan. It is equivalent to the number of grams of energy crystallization! You must know that the end of the world has broken out for so long, and mankind has discovered the value of energy crystallization. Therefore, how many people will die for the crystallization of energy, how many people will die for the new minmin! ”
He Hao looked at the thick banknotes in his hand and reacted abnormally to the survivors around him. It's not hard to see that its value is beyond common sense.
Seeing that he was moved, the Great Mourner added: "I'll give you all the new coins!" More than 3500! Believe in its purchasing power! Let me go, and I'll look to you in the future! ”
He Hao took a deep breath, pointed to the backpack in Da Fu's arms and said, "What else is in it?" ”
When the mourner heard this, he couldn't help but tighten his hands and hold his backpack more firmly. He said hesitantly, "It's nothing...... There are some useless property bills left, which I will hand over to the people of the Fang family. Otherwise...... I'll just ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the exit at the other end of the alley suddenly heard the rumbling of chariots and the crushing of the masonry of the tracks.
It's the patrol of Daybreak Base! After receiving the alarm from the bar, they came to quell the chaos! You must know that this is a wasteland city, and the people who dare to make trouble here to rob the Fang family's storefront are all outlaws with arms. Therefore, there were as many as 100 patrol troops to quell the rebellion. Armored vehicles, modified vehicles, military jeeps. Waiting for the combat vehicles to surround the exit of the alley in a ring, not to mention that these soldiers are equipped with combat rifles, even the machine guns set up are 9!
They don't represent justice, but the iron rules of kingship in the base of dawn in the last days!
Seeing that the military people appeared in time, the mourner couldn't help but change his attitude, changing his previous begging and arrogance. said: "Brother Ghost." The current Yangchun City is not as good as the past. It's no longer that when you stomp your foot, the ground shakes three times. Miss the old love, pay some life money, I can help you intercede to save your life. I advise you to stop being obsessed. ”
He Hao looked at the dazzling searchlight lights at the end of the alley, and the elongated shadows were densely reflected on the ground, and the situation was indeed unsettling.
"It's not hard for me to get out of here. It's just that I still have a lot of things to figure out. He Hao said unusually coldly: "Leave the things in your hands, I promise to let you live." ”
Da Fu sneered in a cold sweat: "Brother Ghost...... Are you not aware of the situation? ”
He Hao listened to the sound of running at the end of the alley, it seemed that the military patrol had opened the round-up line, if this was the case, then he would not have time to spend time here.
"Neuropathy...... Hum! Da Fu snorted, intending to leave this place as soon as possible. But suddenly, he felt a terrible pressure from above his head. Coming to oppress yourself. This huge force directly made him kneel on his back!
"Dry ...... How! What's going on! Da Fu was really panicked at this time, and when he saw He Haotuo holding his mechanical arm, he suddenly exclaimed: "Wei! Mighty! You ......"
He Hao ignored it, just closed the iron grip and crushed the other party into a meat puree with 1,000 times the gravity.
The surrounding survivors were terrified, but there were still a few desperate attempts to snatch the backpack, but fortunately, Lao Jiuyan was fast, and after kicking a few people away, he helped He Hao protect them.
He Hao, who took the backpack, opened it directly, and found that there were more than 3,500 banknotes inside, roughly estimated to be more than 6,000, and not only that. There are also a large number of energy crystal beads. And there are also 4 metal cubes. One of them is still the rarest Z-series!
"This!" He Hao was shocked, and although he had experienced ups and downs, he had also lost his normalcy in the face of this amazing wealth.
"Anyway, it's important to get out of here first!" Lao Jiu patted He Hao's shoulder and said.
"Hmm. Let's go! He Hao nodded after coming back to his senses, intending to lead Lao Jiu and Xiaobei to break through. But as soon as they arrived near the exit of the alley, before they had time to reconnoiter the enemy, the military patrol took the lead in launching a fire greeting!
A large number of bullets poured down like a dense rain, and the ground was splashed with dust and ripples. The ricochet of the crashing bomb made a clanging sound, and a trap even more terrible than death was opened in front of He Hao and the others!
"The firepower is so fierce!" Lao Jiu was shocked, he didn't expect the military to send so many people. And it also brought a large killer such as a vehicle-mounted machine gun.
"Seems to be underestimating them!" He Hao also vaguely felt uneasy.
What's even more deadly is that the military personnel don't seem to intend to give He Hao and the others time to think about countermeasures, and several smoke bombs dragging dark green smoke were thrown over.
As the depressurized waves came and went, the pungent smell of sulphur fumes filled the entire alley almost instantly. The visual range was instantly reduced to less than half a meter!
"Ahem! Cough! Xiaobei coughed violently, covered her mouth and nose and shrunk behind He Hao, and pulled his clothes tightly.
Lao Jiu ripped off the corner of his clothes without any scruples, then poured a soak of urine on the rotten cloth, and quickly protected his mouth and nose to keep a clear head. Said in a muffled voice: "What to do!" We don't have any guys! ”
He Hao looked at Lao Jiu with bated breath and shook his head violently. said: "Go back! ”
After the three of them reached a reunification, they were about to turn back and suddenly hear the sound of an assault rifle at the other end of the alley. Bullets whistled and rained through the smoke, and some innocent survivors were slaughtered. It is clear that the military does not care about these low-level parasites!
"Besieged!" He Hao raised his arms to stop Xiaobei and Lao Jiu, who were running away behind him, and shouted uneasily.
The situation has reached the point of aggressiveness!
