Chapter 23: Meet Pan Peng
The mutation came too suddenly, and the sudden end of the world, zombies and mutant beasts, made many people panic, and they only knew how to escape and hide.
When the troops came, most of them, frightened, rushed to seek refuge from the troops, ignoring the food.
The mutation happened in the morning, but it was already evening, and many people didn't eat at noon, and they were scared all the way, and they were even more hungry at this time.
And the troops, after coming here, occupied supermarkets, grain stores and other food supply points for the first time.
At this time, the troops recruit people to work, although they may be very tired, but there is food to eat, and there are naturally many people who are recruited.
Of course, there are also some smart people who come out with food, and naturally have no interest in the policy of having food to eat only for the work of the troops.
And these recruited by the troops, after obtaining food for their stomachs, were quickly arranged around the protective ring, demolished some buildings, and then formed a simple wall.
Obviously, the people who manage this army are not straw bales, at this time, there are at least tens of thousands of civilians in this protection circle, and they are only protected by a few hundred soldiers, and it is okay during the day, these soldiers, in groups of several people, can hold an intersection.
After all, under the blow of modern thermal weapons, the first-level zombies are not strong in combat at all, and can only be reduced to targets.
It is true that several soldiers can hold an intersection, but soldiers are also people, and they basically fought for a day during the day, and many people, because of the continuous shooting, their shoulders have been visibly swollen.
Moreover, the night is obviously the world of zombies and mutant beasts, if there is no effective protection, it is not good, in the middle of the night, zombies and mutant beasts break through the protection of the army, tens of thousands of people in this protection circle, when the time comes, how much can survive, it is really hard to say.
In the world, there are everyone, especially in troubled times, at this time, if the army forcibly asks everyone to build a protective ring, there will definitely be people who are dissatisfied.
And the leader of this army, apparently a smart man, controlled the food source, and then used the food to make the civilians work.
Ordinary people, who work all year round, already like the model of working with wages, although there are some people who are dissatisfied, but the number of dissatisfied people will not be too much, and it will not hurt.
In this way, it is much better than distributing food directly and then forcibly forcing these civilians to build a wall.
In this case, the number of people who will be recruited to build the wall may be smaller, but this is Shirakaba City, and there are buildings everywhere.
Everyone only needs to block the streets, which is basically enough, and the workload is not particularly large.
Sometimes, the same thing, in another way, the result is completely different.
"Hey, buddy, new here, huh?"
Liu Wen and the three of them all brought a small amount of food with them, although they didn't pay much attention to collecting food, but along the way, they passed by many supermarkets, and naturally they would collect some.
As soon as they entered the protective circle, Zhang Qiang's family quietly separated from Liu Wen and the others.
Just when Liu Wen was thinking about inquiring about the news of this protective circle, a young man came to Liu Wen's side and spoke very well.
"Yes, newcomer, don't know what's the matter with you, friend?"
Looking at this self-acquainted young man, Liu Wen thought about the other party's intentions in his heart.
However, looking at the other party's appearance, Liu Wen guessed that he should soon show his intentions.
"My name is Pan Peng, look buddy, you are a newcomer, there should be a lot of things you don't understand, it just so happens that in the morning, I was one of the first people to meet these soldiers of the armed police force, and I still know a lot about the news here!"
"Of course, buddy, you don't have to suspect that my motives are not pure, I just just look at your strength buddy, you want to come to this chaotic world, buddy, you will definitely be a hero in the future, I just want to come and mix a familiar face in advance!"
The young man named Pan Peng is obviously quite observant.
Of course, as long as you are a careful person, you can find that the milk beans around Liu Wen are extremely special.
Other people's mutant beasts, the largest, are only the size of a calf, and Liu Wen's milk beans are more than two meters tall, which is not a concept at all.
It's just that most of the milk beans around Liu Wen, in addition to the awe of Liu Wen and others, the rest is just envy and jealousy.
And this young man named Pan Peng is very smart, knowing that Liu Wen has such a powerful mutant dog as Milk Bean by his side, as long as Liu Wen develops smoothly and does not fall halfway, he will inevitably do something.
So, he took advantage of his own advantages, his natural sensitivity to intelligence, and gained the advantage of having more information than others, and came to Liu Wen to have a friendship with Liu Wen.
"I want to hear about it!"
"By the way, my name is Liu Wen, they are Jiang Ziqiu and Liang Wenna, they are all my friends, this is Milk Bean, my pet dog before!"
After Pan Peng just introduced himself, with Liu Wen's wisdom, he quickly understood his intention.
Although Pan Peng seems to be a bit utilitarian in doing this, he is smart, at least he knows that using his own advantages to create opportunities for himself is much better than those who eat and wait for death.
"I basically know all the news about this protective circle, and I also know a little about zombies and mutant beasts, I don't know Brother Liu Wen, what news do you want to hear first?"
Seeing that Liu Wen understood what he meant, Pan Peng was secretly glad in his heart that he had met a smart person.
If he meets the big boss, he wants to use information to exchange friendship with the other party, and if he doesn't get it right, he will be scolded, and it is not possible.
Of course, this protective circle is still taken over by the troops at this time, and no one dares to kill people here, which is why Pan Peng dared to take the initiative to approach Liu Wen and the others.
"Then let's talk about the troops first, as well as some of the big and small forces in this protection circle now!"
Liu Wen had thought about it before, and wanted to find someone familiar with him and ask for some information.
Therefore, when Pan Peng asked Liu Wen what he wanted to know, Liu Wen said without much thought.
"In terms of troops, it is an armed police brigade around our Baihua City, battalion-level formation, at the beginning, there were more than 400 soldiers here, and the basic weapon configuration is 81 bar, 97-type shotgun, 79-type submachine gun."
"They also have two explosion-proof infantry vehicles, and the infantry vehicles are armed with machine guns."
"Plus, they probably have a SWAT squadron of about thirty people."
"But after this day's battle, the zombies are okay, but the mutant beasts can sometimes break through the defense line and rush to the side of the armed police soldiers, and now the number of remaining armed police soldiers is less than three hundred, and they have lost more than a hundred people, and they have lost a quarter, which is considered to be a broken muscle."
"Moreover, the two infantry tanks, since the afternoon, have not been firing, it is estimated that there is no ammunition for machine guns!"
Pan Peng obviously did not brag about himself, and after Liu Wen asked about it, he told Liu Wen the information of the troops.
