Chapter 53: The Alliance of the Awakened
Chu Fan just wanted to know his aunt's whereabouts from here, but judging by the old man's attitude, he seemed to be very reluctant to cooperate.
"Hey, I'm just asking a few words."
The old man didn't listen to Chu Fan: "I don't know anything, you can wait for my son to come back and ask." My son is a warrior. β
After saying that, he closed the door with a "bang".
Chu Fan resisted the urge to slam open the door with a punch, and with his force, the door was almost as papier-mΓ’chΓ©.
He has just arrived in Lingcheng, so it is better to keep a low profile.
"It seems that it is necessary to go to the Alliance of the Awakened to get a martial artist's identity card, this ordinary identity card is too useless."
If Chu Fan was wearing a martial artist identity card on his chest, the old man just now would definitely not have this attitude.
Walking out of the spring community, Chu Fan looked at the streets where people came and went, and didn't know where to find his aunt.
"The city originally had a population of nearly 10 million, but now it has become a gathering place, and all the survivors of the surrounding cities have come here. I don't know how many people there are in the current cemetery. β
Chu Fan's desire to find his aunt and others among tens of millions of people is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
At this time, Chu Fan thought of Peng Hailong: "The boss of the gang that robbed me said that he was in the third district of the shantytown in the west of the city. I'm going to ask him for help, it's a big deal to give him some benefits. β
ββββ
Chu Fan came to the third district of the shantytown in the west of the city that Peng Hailong said.
"This is a shantytown?"
In front of Chu Fan, there was a large area of various shacks made of broken stones, bricks, wood, etc.
This is a shabby, dirty shack that even the homeless people of the past would not live in.
Chu Fan felt that this place was much more shabby and dilapidated than the slums in the movie.
He was about to find someone to ask where Peng Hailong lived, when he saw Peng Hailong and his party coming from a distance.
Peng Hailong was very unlucky today, he first ran into Chu Fan during the robbery, and then he also encountered the Awakened team.
The group returned empty-handed, and after returning to the shantytown, Peng Hailong saw Chu Fan.
"Little brother, are you coming to me?"
Chu Fan nodded: "Well, I have something to ask you for help." You call me Chu Fan. β
"Brother Chu Fan, this is not the place to talk, go to me."
Chu Fan followed Peng Hailong to the place where Peng Hailong lived.
Although Peng Hailong lives in a shantytown, Peng Hailong's house is not a shack, but a two-story building.
"Brother Chu Fan, what do you need me to help you?"
"I want to find my aunt, who used to live in Lingcheng. I didn't find him at her house, and the man said that his son had bought the house. β
Peng Hailong answered: "Your aunt is likely to have sold the house in an emergency." Now the value of the houses in the mausoleum is very high. If so, it will be very troublesome to find people, and there are now at least 20 million people in Lingcheng. β
Chu Fan took out a pack of cigarettes and put it in Peng Hailong's hand: "Don't worry, as long as you help me, I won't let you suffer." β
"What are these words," Peng Hailong quietly put away his cigarette and secretly said Chu Fan's generous gesture, "We are friends, and it is appropriate to help each other." β
"Brother Chu Fan, you give me the address of your aunt's house, and I'll have someone investigate. Also, I think it's important for you to go to the League of the Awoken, and an Awoken identity card is useful. β
Chu Fan told Peng Hailong the address, and with the help of Peng Hailong and others, he could save a lot of trouble.
"Ever since I came to the Mausoleum Gathering Place, I've been hearing about the Alliance of the Awakened. It's okay now, so I can go and see it. β
Peng Hailong couldn't ask for it: "Okay, I'll take you there now." β
The reason why he wanted to make friends with a master like Chu Fan was not only for connections.
There are three shantytowns in the Lingcheng gathering area, the shantytowns in the east of the city, the shantytowns in the south of the city, and the shantytowns in the west of the city. Most of the shantytowns are populated by ordinary survivors who have flocked to the cemetery.
The shanty town in the west of the city is large and is divided into twelve districts.
Peng Hailong and the others are located in the third district of the shantytown in the west of the city, and they are regarded as the head snakes of the third district.
Recently, a gang called the LTTE has emerged in District 4, a shantytown town in the west of the city.
The Tigers are very high-profile, and soon after their establishment, they began to expand, and the territory of the five adjacent districts has been encroached upon by them.
Peng Hailong estimated that his territory in the third district would not be able to hold on for too long, and the Tigers would soon take action against them.
The strength of Peng Hailong and the others was too weak to fight against the Tigers at all.
There are only two options left for Peng Hailong, one is to surrender to the Tigers and be annexed by the Tigers.
The other is to leave the shantytown area 3 and give up their own territory.
Peng Hailong befriended Chu Fan because he wanted to use Chu Fan's strength to deter the Tigers and keep his own territory.
ββββ
The central district of the mausoleum.
Chu Fan followed Peng Hailong to Chengzhong District, where the scene was completely different from the rest of the gathering place.
The clean streets, brand-new buildings, and careless pedestrians are not much different from the former Lingcheng Chengzhong District.
Chu Fan found that most of the passers-by here were wearing black badges, and occasionally some people were passing by wearing red badges.
On the streets, there is the occasional car driving by.
At a time when human society is collapsing, gasoline and diesel are strategic resources.
At this time, the identity of those who can drive can be seen.
"The building in front is the Alliance of the Awoken building."
Peng Hailong pointed to a building dozens of stories in front of him.
"Only the Awakened can enter the Awakened Building, and the strength certification is at the strength test next to it."
Peng Hailong introduced while leading the way for Chu Fan.
"The Awoken Building is mainly a place for the Awoken to receive tasks, and of course, it also has the function of leisure and entertainment. There are also trading places where you can see all kinds of things you can't imagine. β
Chu Fan listened to Peng Hailong's introduction and became even more curious about the Awakened Building.
In the central district of Lingcheng, the Awakened Building stands out from the crowd and is very conspicuous.
"Brother Chu Fan, as long as you succeed in the strength test and get your identity badge, you can freely enter and leave the Awakened Building. Let's go test it. β
Peng Hailong was a little impatient, he wanted to know how strong Chu Fan's strength was.
"Hmm."
The two of them went to the strength certification office next to the Awoken Building, where there were many people in line.
"Look, there's another one."
"I don't know if it's a warrior or a magician."
ββ¦β¦β
After a few people whispered a few words, one of them asked Chu Fan in a loud voice: "Friend, are you a martial artist or a magician?" β
Peng Hailong also looked at Chu Fan, he just heard his subordinates say that Chu Fan was very strong, but he didn't know how strong Chu Fan was.
Chu Fan said lightly: "Martial artist." β
"Oh."
Hearing Chu Fan say that he was a martial artist, several other people immediately lost interest in him.
Peng Hailong was also a little disappointed, after all, the sorcerer is the symbol of the strong.
At this time, a middle-aged man came out of the room: "The next batch, you guys, all come in." β
Several people followed the middle-aged man into the room, and Peng Hailong followed. The strength certification office is not so strict, and other awakened people can also enter.
"The sorcerer will go over there to test, and the warrior will come here with me."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, a young man immediately walked towards the place where the magician was tested with his head held high and a proud face.
The rest of the group followed the middle-aged man to a large room.
In the center of the room, there is a huge machine with an LCD screen on it.
