*************************
When inspected at the gates of the Iron Castle, Rokuko found himself deceived by the seemingly sturdy (but actually very strong) wooden walls outside. Because behind these wooden walls, there is a stone wall with a thickness of 5 meters!
He looked up and exclaimed in his heart, "Oh my God! The walls of the Celestial City are only 40 centimeters thick, and we all feel safe. It's so perverted that a 5-meter-thick wall was built! Is this used to ward off zombies? What kind of zombie can break through such a wall! ”
(In Celestial City, only those high-level officials have learned of such a thing as a sapient corpse from the Steelkeep's broadcast.) Others, including the six sons, didn't know that there were siege engines among the zombies. )
After actually entering the Steel Castle, the six sons, under the leadership of Zhang Zeshan and others, walked along the main road in the fort that leads directly to the East 1st District in the direction of the city hall.
On both sides of the main road are the factory area (North 1), the livestock area (South 1), the North residential area (North 2), and the South residential area (South 2). Each district is connected by gates and main roads.
When passing through these districts, even if he just glanced in hurriedly from the gates of each district, the living environment in the Iron Castle was enough to shock the six sons.
There are various factories here. Near the door was the blacksmith's shop, where a dozen blacksmiths were clanging under the airy tents and making refrigeration weapons. There are a lot of already built and piled up next to it, just looking at the appearance, you know that it is definitely a good thing.
You can also see signs such as "Food Processing Factory", "Waterworks", "Power Plant", and "Heating House" hanging on the outside of some factories. You can faintly hear the humming of various machines working from other parts of the area.
made Liuzi suddenly feel that this place seemed so energetic. Yes, it's vitality.
In the past, when he was still settled, he used to work in the factory for a long time, but at that time he felt that every day was hard and tiring, and after working for a long time, he was particularly annoyed by the sound of these machines when they worked. It was for this reason that he later gave up his job in the factory and began to mix with a big brother in society.
Then the end of the world, I don't know when it began, he began to feel that the world seemed to be a little too quiet. He wondered how good it would be if he could have some sound of a machine running!
There are also cattle and sheep horse pens. In this place where South 1 was written on the door, he saw that there were a lot of cows, sheep and horses in it, running around in their respective fields. If you listen to the sound, you can tell that it is obviously cultivated a lot. He even saw some free-range chickens and ducks, carrying flocks of chicks and ducklings from a sheepfold. Seeing those fat cattle and sheep, Liuzi's eyes were straight, and his throat was unconsciously swallowing his saliva desperately.
Further inside, passing through North 2 and South 2 districts, there are wide and clean streets, rows of new wooden houses that still smell of rosin, street lights, and seats. I don't know where I thought I came to the tourist area.
The streets were bustling with people, pedestrians carrying various materials, children playing happily, they were neatly dressed, their faces were ruddy, and everyone had a sunny smile on their faces.
This made Liuzi can't help but have an absurd thought: "Isn't this and ours the same world?" There's no such thing as a zombie here? ”
But this is obviously impossible.
It was already time to prepare lunch, and the smell of food wafted from the two living quarters. Liuzi sniffed hard, and immediately felt that the aroma was compelling. Although judging by the taste, the meals they were preparing were just home-cooked dishes that they used to eat in the past, saliva unconsciously poured out of their tongues. He hadn't eaten anything like this in a long time.
He wanted to stop and smell more, but the soldiers behind him didn't mean to stop. Directly pushing the six sons forward, they soon arrived at the East 1 District. Inside the town hall.
"Captain! I brought people here! Standing at the door of Chen Yuan's office, Zhang Zeshan reported.
"Come in!"
Zhang Zeshan led people into Chen Yuan's office. At this time, not only Chen Yuan, but also Liu Jinlong and Xu Kai were also there.
"You're the sixth son?" Chen Yuan stood at the window, turned around and asked.
"Yes, yes, I'm the sixth son. Are you the Castle Commander? Liuzi looked at the person in front of him and thought, "This is really too young, isn't it?" 20? Or 25? Certainly not over 25 years old. ”
"I'm the Castle Commander here, you can call me Castle Commander Chen." Chen Yuan replied coldly, and then he continued to ask with a playful sneer: "I heard that you came to us to extort more than ten or twenty tons of grain as protection money?" ”
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! It's borrowed! The sixth son secretly complained. I knew that I would trade with them with cold weapons directly according to what Wang Qiang said, and I blamed myself for being too greedy for merit and wanted to extort some materials for nothing.
"Misunderstanding? You are making a lot of noise at our city gate with so many people and guns, and now you dare to say that you are just here to borrow food? Believe it or not, I'll send troops to Celestial City right now to borrow some food from your city lord!" Liu Jinlong's eyes widened, and he was suddenly frightened and trembling.
In fact, for a moment, Chen Yuan also thought about sending troops to attack the Heavenly City today and rob the population and saltpeter mines.
It's just that in this way, it will give people a bad image that the Iron Castle is too aggressive, after all, there was no real conflict just now.
Moreover, this Heavenly City was more difficult to deal with than the previous Yuan City. If they really want to fight, the sniper rifles in their hands are very likely to cause casualties on Chen Yuan's side.
It is not easy to cultivate a warrior now, and each warrior has consumed a lot of spiritual flesh. Chen Yuan didn't want to waste his limited energy on dealing with his own kind for the time being.
Anyway, if the Amagi side can provide them with cheap saltpeter mines, it can be regarded as working for them in a different direction.
At this time, frightened by Liu Jinlong, Liuzi hurriedly explained to him: "No, no! Sir, we're really just here to borrow food. Bringing people and weapons is just to protect yourself, and you also know that in this world, there are zombies everywhere outside, and you can't come here without a team and weapons. ”
So far, he didn't dare to hide it, and said directly to Chen Yuan: "Don't hide it from Chen Baochang, although we also have some grain in the Heavenly City, and we are also preparing to dig a pit around the Heavenly City in the coming year." But we simply don't have enough food to eat the next year's harvest. So this time I came to ask Chief Chen Bao if you can lend me some food for the sake of your local portion, so that we can get through this current difficulty. ”
