There is a slight change. The sand barely made a sound. Zhe Jianbo and Ma Ji are the best among the explorers. But how could they see such subtle changes?

Only Zhou Yuanqiang, from the moment the sand moved, his sensitive perception ability captured this subtle change.

Human beings are very amazing animals, and the biggest advantage is that human beings know what human organs will look like if they are upgraded and strengthened. Zhou Yuan's ability to reach double the strength before the country was strong, and his muscles seemed to be very weak, but they seemed to be beaten with iron. In particular, the ability to perceive this magic is multiplied, and it can sense and show the coming danger under the exponential improvement.

Locking his perception on this piece of grass, Zhou Yuanqiang was just on guard, and he didn't look like a great enemy, because he didn't feel any danger in this grass at all.

Seeing Zhou Yuanqiang's vigilance. Lan Jianbo and Ma Weng Ying immediately held their guns and followed Zhou Yuanqiang's gaze. It may seem slow, but it's just the blink of an eye. Now that the sand was rolling, and the grass was moving, they all had their mouths open. Ma Weng Ying even said: "This, what the hell is this? ”

The trio took a few steps back. I took the distance, but I heard a voice from the grass: "Don't shoot, don't shoot..."

Hear people's voices. Zhou Yuanqiang and the three of them glanced at each other, all stunned. This kind of strange thing is too unexpected.

The whole bush was quickly lifted up, and a thin old man poked his head out of the way, and then, after moving the grass, crawled out of the pit, raised his hands, and said, "Don't shoot, I have no ill will." He saw that Zhou Yuanqiang and they were not cruel people, and clapped his hands, this, in the pit under the grass. Another fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy came out.

Only Zhou Yuanqiang said and said, "What are you?" ”

The thin old man smirked. He pulled out a short earthen spear from his waist and said, "We are corpse hunters. He swept the corpses of the three blue wolves not far away, needless to say, Zhou Yuanqiang also knew that their target should be these three biochemical wolves. It's just that it's not involved, and it was directly killed by himself.

The little boy was not afraid of life. The action was very arrogant, standing next to the thin old man, two big eyes staring at Zhou Yuanqiang and the three of them fixedly. He held a small steel fork in his hand, and a small short gun pinned to his waist. Although his clothes were a little tattered and covered with mud and sand, he looked like a qualified little hunter.

Seeing the prey that robbed others, Zhou Yuanqiang was also a little embarrassed, and said, "We didn't know they were your prey before. ”

The thin old man shook his head. said: "We didn't come here for this, we just admired your marksmanship, so we showed up to meet you." He pointed to the corpses of the three blue wolves. "They're too fast," he said. I've been preparing for a long time, but I can't find a chance

。

If it weren't for your shot. I'm afraid that we will have to stay here for a day today, and finally come back disappointed. ”

Zhou Yuanqiang understood. said: "You dug a pit here and used this disguise to kill these three cyborg wolves?" ”

The thin old man nodded and said, "Yes, these three biochemical wolves have been around for a long time, and there are few people in this area, so they gave me a chance." He stroked his homemade short spear with a wry smile, "This gun is not very powerful, and I am not sure that it will kill with one hit." We don't act rashly. ”

A large number of factories of various types of chambers of commerce were established, either belonging to the chamber of commerce, or private. It has also made a qualitative leap in the material aspect. For example, after the recovery of Qingyuan City, because some raw materials can still be used, chocolate snacks began to be sold in small quantities on the market, which is an extremely rare snack.

The little boy's tiger-headed appearance is extremely likable, Ma Weng Ying couldn't help but overflow with love, took out a piece of chocolate from his backpack, and said to the little boy: "Sister, there are delicious things here, as long as you tell me what your name is, this chocolate is yours." ”

The long-lost memory came to the little boy's mind, and the taste of chocolate memory still made him unbearable. Look at your grandfather.

The thin old man looked at the little boy with some pity, thought for a while, and finally said, "Why don't you tell my sister your name?" ”

The little boy suddenly became overjoyed, and said obediently: "Hello sister, my name is Chen Xiaobao." As he spoke, he couldn't wait to take the chocolate, but he didn't eat it right away, but put it carefully, which made Ma Weng Ying puzzled. Said: Xiaobao, why don't you eat? ”

Chen Xiaobao shook his head. said: "Thank you, sister Xiaobao, for not eating, I'll use it for red."

Zhou Yuanqiang and the three of them were stunned, and the thin old man said with some embarrassment: "Let me see you Xiaobao, since it is my sister's kindness, you can eat it, this chocolate can't be exchanged for many sweet potatoes." ”

Lan Jianbo observed carefully. Seeing this grandfather and grandson didn't look like acting, after all, they couldn't have known that they would be here. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Old man, do you live around here?" "It's only about eight o'clock in the morning, it's impossible for this grandson, the two of them have been lurking in the pit since six o'clock, right?

The thin old man pointed to the far away place and said, "Where do we live?" The Seven Beasts are very sensitive, and we need to lurk here before they appear in this area. Until they appear. It's so hot here that we'll leave until about ten o'clock at most. Whether you can get something depends on these four hours in the morning. ”

It starts with meeting people. Lan Jianbo was already ecstatic. Regardless of the size of the other party's settlement, there is always a good start.

Maybe it was because they saw that the biochemical beast had been killed, and the grandfather and grandson were not ready to stay here for long, but after asking Zhou Yuanqiang about their history, they also suddenly realized and said: "I have heard of Bread Tree Village, in the far, far east, two or three hundred kilometers away from us. Did you come all the way? ”

Ma Weng Ying shook her head. "Our car ran out of gas halfway and walked dozens of kilometers. The first time we came here, we heard that there was a market here, and we wanted to change something. ”

This excuse is reasonable, fuel in the last days is a scarce thing, especially in this area, and it is even more precious. So the thin old man didn't doubt it, and said: "There are a lot of things in the market, and it will be very lively at that time, and there will be many people coming, people from all over the place, from all the settlements. He looked at Zhou Yuanqiang's guns with two hot eyes, and said, "Spider, you have guns." The most things that can be exchanged are the most. ”

Once there is a common topic, people become closer. In the last days, the number of human beings is scarce, and when you see people from other settlements and other places, you will naturally have a sense of intimacy.

Through conversation, Zhou Yuanqiang finally got to know something about here.

Due to the desolation of the area, there are no villages in the area in peacetime. Authentic place without a village in front of the village. Many drivers have to pass through two or three hundred kilometers of no-man's land in this area. All of them are frightened, for fear that something will go wrong with their cars, which will be a big trouble. Dying of cold at night and hot during the day, it is not a place that can stay for a long time.

Most of the drivers reported this situation to the local government. And the local government has also come up with a plan, but these repair shops and service stations that enjoy tax-free and other preferential treatments just insisted for a while, just because the business here is too calm to talk about, and the environment is bad, most of them have moved away.

As a result of this change, there are fewer and fewer cars on this road, and finally there is a tragic situation where not necessarily one car passes by in an hour or two.

But who would have thought that this wasteland would be a paradise for mankind in the last days? With the harsh climate and the fact that there are no people in a radius of hundreds of kilometers, zombies are almost impossible to see. More and more survivors have relocated, and gradually they have formed settlements here, becoming a fertile soil for mankind, supporting hundreds of thousands of people.

Some people may have questions. There are hundreds of thousands of people on the Tianzhou Plain. There are hundreds of thousands of people in Qingyuan City, and there are hundreds of thousands more here. Coupled with the unknown number of people in the north, will there be too many surviving humans?

Actually, this question. Zhou Yuanqiang also submitted to the analysis department, and their analysis results were: The whole country, the number of survivors. It reached nearly 20 million people, which is already a very catastrophic number. You must know that in the time and space of this branch, the population of the country has reached 1.6 billion. With only nearly 20 million survivors of 1.6 billion, what is the percentage of infection?

It was the results of this analysis that forced Zhou Yuanqiang to speed up the implementation of the population plan.

There are only more than 400,000 people under the rule of his own chamber of commerce, and in the face of the number of nearly 20 million people, it is too small, you will never know. Will there be a settlement of millions of people?

When he heard that there were hundreds of thousands of mouths here, Zhou Yuanqiang's eyes had already changed and became fanatical. Looks like. What Yang Shun knows is not very comprehensive. After all, he is more than 200 kilometers away from here, and he only comes to this market occasionally.

The thin old man's real name is actually Chen Elegy, a very unique name, and the settlement where he is located is not very large, only seven or eight thousand people. There are many more settlements like this, all of which are dotted on this wasteland. Of course, under Zhou Yuanqiang's questioning, intentionally or unintentionally, it was found out that there was indeed a slavery settlement with a population of 70,000 or 80,000 people.

Chen Wangge did not have much hatred for this slavery settlement, and said: "Their strength is very strong, especially the slave soldiers, all of whom are not afraid of death. Their ghett was able to make very good guns, due to slavery. It also produces the most food in the region. Many times, we exchange crystals for food. ”

"Are they oppressing slaves?" The fragments in Ma Wengying's memory may all be about the description of slavery in ancient times.

Chen Wangge laughed. said: "In fact, in the last days, where is there no oppression? became a slave, although he had to work hard and give his life to others. But at least you can eat enough. We are not slaves. But the life that can be walked through is worse than theirs. Probably the only thing better than them is freedom. ”

After seeing Zhou Yuanqiang, they seemed to be very interested in this, but Chen Wangge didn't want to say much about this, "When you go to the bazaar, you can naturally see what the slaves are like." Honestly, to be able to live. Who wants to be slaves to them? Hehe, the era of civilization, the time of civilization

。

Chen Wangge didn't care about Zhou Yuanqiang, they followed him, and they all walked towards Zhou Yuanqiang along the way, explaining some things in this area.

He was in a raiding place that was a long way away. The reason why there are no corpse hunters is because there are almost no footprints of zombie activity in this area, so naturally no one appears here. If you want to meet zombies, go south, about a hundred kilometers away from here, is Zhanghuang City, where most of the crystals here are obtained.

Along the way, it was really desolate, even more desolate than where the former moor settlement was.

Thick layers of sand, as well as rocky terrain, plus alkaline geology. Even wild plants are scarce, so how can you grow anything? The only thing that isn't lacking here is salt. Because in these geologies. It can be done in some places. Look for very salty rocks. Extract from above. It's a bit like the salt wells in the old moorland settlements, but it's more convenient.

Don't underestimate Chen Elegy's thin appearance, nearly fifteen kilometers of road, the grandfather and grandson, almost ran over. Now walking with Zhou Yuanqiang and them, they are just walking slowly.

It took three hours for the five to complete the fifteen-kilometer stretch.

Chen Xiaobao pointed to a flat area and said, "We have arrived, and where is our home." ”

Ma Weng Ying looked at it, there was still a long yellow sand here, and there was no shadow of a settlement at all. Along the way, she had already learned from Chen Xiaobao Huiman, so she glared at Chen Xiaobao and said: "Child, don't lie. Where can people live here? You're not going to tell me that you live on the sand, do you? ”

Only Zhou Yuanqiang knew what Chen Xiaobao said, it should be the truth, he could see the surrounding area, and occasionally he could see someone moving the treasure

Chen Xiaobao was a little unhappy when he saw Ma Weng Ying doubting himself, and said: "Sister, what I said is true, where are we really In order to be convincing, he ran forward, and after running far away, he suddenly disappeared on the surface.

"Ah," Ma Weng Ying was startled, what about Xiaobao? Why is he gone? ”

Only Chen Elegy laughed beside him. He said, "Go over and you'll know why." He pointed to some towering wooden towers, and said timidly: "That's the guard tower in our settlement, which is usually prepared to prevent possible zombies, but now it seems that it is not very useful." ”

To be honest, Zhou Yuanqiang is already full of curiosity about this settlement, is their settlement already built underground?

As Chen Elegy approached, faintly, a huge artificially excavated crack appeared in front of him little by little. As you move forward. The crack is getting bigger and bigger, and you don't know how long it is, and you can barely see the end.

When he got closer, Zhou Yuanqiang sensitively heard the sound of water and asked, "Is there a stream here?" But why are the cracks man-made? ”

Chen Wangge was a little proud. "This was originally an underground river hidden underneath, but now we have to dig up the sand above in order to get water. Later, with the increase of people and the alternation of hot and cold weather in the wasteland, we had to use our imagination and wisdom to build our dwellings on both sides of the underground river. Well, in fact, it is to dig out the cave where you live on the overhanging walls dug on both sides. ”

With the leadership of Chen Elegy, this excavated underground river was presented in Zhou Yuanqiang's

Former.

The underground river is not very large. It is stronger than a normal creek, and is mostly made up of layers of earth and rock on both sides, which provides solid soil for habitation and does not collapse when digging out the cave.

Every few meters apart on both sides, there will be a cave. And the dug river on both sides of the river, which Zhou Yuanqiang couldn't believe, was full of all kinds of food crops. Here, you can even see a large watermelon that is almost ripe.

With the ladder dug out. When I walked to the river, a coolness came to my face, and I couldn't say how refreshing it was.

Chen Elegy said proudly: "How is it? No matter how hot and dry it is, the place where we live is very refreshing. At night, it's very cold above, but it's as warm as spring below. You won't feel the cold at all. Pointing to the plants on the long river, he said, "We mainly rely on these to sustain our basic life, and then go out to hunt some crystals, which is enough for us to survive." ”

The soil under the river is very fertile, and the plants are growing very well, like crops in the south, and you will never believe that this is in the wilderness.

In the face of all this, Zhou Yuanqiang was amazed or amazed.

The ability of humans to adapt to their natural environment is perfectly explained here. Human ingenuity, in any situation, wields a role. In other words, human wisdom is infinite and can create endless miracles. Even in this harsh wasteland, people can rely on wisdom to create this paradise.

Zhou Yuanqiang believes that this is just a small microcosm of the creation of human civilization, and there will be many places where people are waving their imagination and creativity to create a living environment with a strong apocalyptic atmosphere.

(One of the magical post-apocalyptic settlements, like?) If you have a monthly pass, can you vote for me? Very grateful to be continued
