Chapter 2: The Mad God Fortress
Half a day later, Lu Dong saw the gate of the Mad God Fortress, Lu Dong dragged the "big cat" with a Tang knife on his back and slowly walked towards the gate of the Mad God Fortress.
The city wall is 15 meters high, 2 kilometers long, and 2 meters thick, and there are many gun holes on the city wall, the most conspicuous of which is a whole row of black cannon ports on the castle tower.
After the outbreak of the apocalyptic virus, governments around the world adopted a plan to protect important scientists and elite dignitaries in various industries, known as the "Tinder Project".
It is precisely because of this plan that the evolution of human civilization has been promoted, from the evolution of human beings to the current energy weapons and so on. The fortress was defended like an iron barrel, and the towers were full of heavily armed soldiers, most of whom were left over from the pre-apocalyptic era, and some were selected from among human survivors, but most of them were ordinary people, and few evolved. To be able to enter the army, the physical fitness must meet certain requirements! At least it's about the same as the special forces before the end of the world! Because of this threshold, everyone is desperately exercising their bodies, not expecting to become an evolutionary, at least they can enter the army to work, food is in short supply in the last days, food in the fortress is extremely difficult to obtain, and all materials are controlled by the army. Those in power merged the military and the government to form a federal government.
The Mad God Fortress has gathered most of the survivors of China, with more than 10 million people, and there are large and small gathering places around, the number of large gathering places is tens of thousands, and the number of small gathering places is hundreds, thousands. All the food and weapons in the gathering places are in the hands of the authorities in each gathering place, and of course there are some small gathering places that do not have much weapons and food, and in this era of material shortage, everyone needs to fight for their own survival. To fight with the mutant beasts and the living dead, to find supplies, there is no so-called rule in the last days, the rule is that the weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive.
Lu Dong dragged the "big cat" to the city gate, and two large pillboxes were built at the city gate, and rows of black muzzles could be seen from the embrato, all of which showed the power of thermal weapons and a solemn atmosphere. There were two soldiers standing on either side of the gate, and next to it was a strange machine, there were three lights of different colors on the machine, which were red, yellow and green, which were a bit similar to the traffic lights before the end of the world, and everyone who entered the fortress had to line up to pass through that strange machine, and every time someone passed through, the lights would be on.
A green light indicates a normal human, and a yellow light indicates that they have been infected with the virus, but they are uncertain whether they will evolve into the living dead or evolved, and they need to be isolated and observed. Whereas, a red light indicates the living dead.
Lu Dong looked bored at the people queuing up to enter the city, most of them were bounty hunters like Lu Dong, but few were evolutionaries, and they were all ordinary people with hot weapons. Many people are empty-handed except for weapons, and a very small number of powerful bounty hunters carry their own prey in their hands. Others are survivors who have fled from other gathering places.
The human dragon moved slowly and soon it was Lu Dong's turn, Lu Dong put the big cat in his hand, and then a few people came out of the bunker, they quickly came to Lu Dong, led by a middle-aged man, wearing a federal military uniform, and the epaulettes on his shoulders were two stars on a horizontal bar.
"You're in luck! Got such a big guy again. The middle-aged man said with a smile on his face.
Lu Dong shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "I almost gave up my life, where did I get my luck?" ”
The middle-aged man's name is Ma Long, an army officer before the end of the world, who is responsible for the defense of this city gate and the investigation of personnel. Lu Dong often goes in and out of this city gate, and he also trades with them when he hits prey, so he is more familiar with it.
"What are you going to do with this big guy?" Ma Long pointed to the "big cat" and asked Lu Dong. "It's the same as before! I'll take it for thirty percent, and I want this skin and claws. Replace the others with ammo! After Lu Dong finished speaking, a few soldiers came and carried the big cat into the Mad God Fortress.
Lu Dong didn't react when he watched the soldiers carry the "big cat" away, but turned back to talk to Ma Long.
"This time is really dangerous, I thought that the primary mutant beast could be easily solved, who knew that this guy was in a state of evolution, fortunately he was not completely stable, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back."
Malone looked at the jungle in the distance and said, "You're lucky, you see how many people go out of here every day, and how many people can come back?" Not to mention completing the task, if you go out, your life will not necessarily be your own! ”
Lu Dong also looked at the flow of people and the jungle and sighed: "Yes! Every time I go out, I have already given my life to God, and it is really not easy to come back alive. ”
"Recently, more and more survivors have poured into the fortress, and the supply of supplies to the fortress has begun to be difficult, which is why so many people go out to hunt and want to find supplies for themselves and their families to survive, but everyone knows how difficult it is, but they still have to go out! If you don't wait to starve to death, the slums are almost full, and some people will starve to death every day, and the survivors who come over in a few days may have to build tents outside the fortress! Malone said a little uncomfortable.
"Isn't there anything the Federation can do about it? Haven't the federal research departments come up with new products that can be grown and eaten on a large scale? Lu Dong asked.
"No, the plants that were taken out before were not very productive. Barely able to keep the people of the fortress from starving to death. Malone replied
"No wonder so many people have been fighting hard recently, which has also led to many people staying in the wasteland outside forever, their families don't get much funding from the federal government, and it's too normal to starve to death!" Lu Dong said with a heavy heart
"There's no way, the mad god doesn't care about the political and military affairs of the fortress, he only thinks about how to continue to become stronger, and all the affairs are handed over to the people below, and the people below all want to fight for power and enjoy themselves, and they don't care about life and death in the slums." After Ma Long finished speaking, he gave Lu Dong a cigarette and lit a cigarette himself.
In the smoke, both of them looked at the slowly moving human dragon in silence, wondering how many of them would survive in the end? Will your tomorrow be like them, struggling and confused on the road to survival?
Lu Dong recalled that he had struggled to survive all the way in the past six months, and he didn't know how many times he had lived and died in a moment, but fortunately he survived and mixed well.
Before he knew it, a cigarette had burned out, Lu Dong threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, said hello to Ma Long, and walked towards the fortress, many people greeted Lu Dong on the way, but most of them were people from the slums, because Lu Dong would often share some food and supplies with them, and Lu Dong returned to his residence after walking for about twenty minutes! Lu Dong's residence was allocated by the Federation on the day he became a low-level evolutionary, because there were relatively few evolutionaries. Every Evolver is an important part of the Stronghold! Lu Dong's awakened ability is a wind-based speed-based ability.
In the Federation, evolutionaries are in the minority, but the top ten are all ability evolutionaries. The abilities of each god are different, but everyone can only awaken one ability, and there are very few evolutionaries who can awaken the second ability, and there are even fewer of the three than the national treasure giant panda before the destruction, and Lu Dong is a two-line ability evolutionary, but when he registered, he concealed the spiritual ability, and there is an old saying "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it". Therefore, Lu Dong hid his spiritual ability in addition to the registered wind speed type.
Lu Dong took care of his wound, which had scabbed over it, and changed the medicine, Lu Dong grinned and said, "These damn scientists, you can't put some anesthetic drugs in it, and every time you are injured, it hurts so much that cold sweat comes out." After saying that, he went to bed and lay down, and after two days of sleeplessness, the fatigue of fighting with the big cat hit like a tide, and Lu Dong fell asleep in less than two minutes.
After a long time, there was a knock on the door, Lu Dong sat up vigilantly, and asked, "Who?" ”。
A familiar greeting came from the door, "It's me!" Brother Dong", Lu Dong finally let go of his mood when he heard the reply, "It turned out to be a mouse?" You wait. ”
Lu Dong hurriedly got out of bed and walked over to open the door, only to see a strong black young man wearing a federal military uniform at the door, holding two cut furs and a pair of sharp claws and almost fifty catties of meat in his hands.
The mouse used to be a survivor in the slums, and Lu Dong used to help him, teach him to exercise, and often share his prey with him, so he and Lu Dong are also brothers.
The mouse also used to take care of Lu Dong, once Lu Dong was seriously injured, he met a predator among the living dead while hunting, and he fled back to the gate of the fortress after nine deaths, it happened that the mouse was on duty, and the mouse saw that Lu Dong hurriedly sent him back to the improvised hospital of the fortress, Lu Dong was seriously injured that time, and his chest was pierced by the tongue of the predator, and there were wounds everywhere else on his body. The doctor said that it was fortunately delivered in time, otherwise he would have lost too much blood and died. So Lu Dong is very grateful for the saving grace of the mouse.
When he saw Lu Dong come out, he said, "Brother Dong, the captain asked me to send these, saying that it was what you wanted," and he also said, "Other materials need to be exchanged with the military department before they can be delivered." ”
Lu Dong nodded and said, "Okay, no problem, come in!" Lu Dong gave up his seat and waited for the rat to come in before closing the door. Walked in!
After Lu Dong went in, the mouse had already put things away, Lu Dong cut out about 10 catties of meat and gave it to the mouse, and asked him to take it back to his family to eat. He was ready to go back and return to the captain.
After the rat left, Lu Dong closed the door and locked it, divided the meat into several large pieces, took two pieces and put them in the pot, salted the others, and hung them in a windy place, ready to be dried. Then find the seasoning and put it in the pot. The seasoning of the last days is relatively simple, and the mutant beast meat of the last days is no longer the same, even if there is no seasoning, the meat made of it is very fragrant, and the seasoning is put away.
Lu Dong began to prepare to exercise his body and his abilities, using the exercise method of special forces to exercise the muscles of the whole body, Lu Dong took off his shirt, looked down at his wound, and the wound had roughly healed. But if you can't use force, the wound will burst. Lu Dong sighed and thought helplessly, "It seems that I can only sleep today, and I will talk about it tomorrow when the wound is healed, and the task will be handed over to the association tomorrow!" ”
A smell of meat gradually spread, and Lu Dong didn't want to think about it so much, so after eating the broth, he cleaned it up, and fell asleep with his clothes.
