Chapter 001: Wilderness
War destroys an era and creates a new one.

Wilderness, under the night.
I don't know when the thick radiation clouds floated in the sky, and the bright moonlight described in the poems of the old times never shone on this desolate and barren land.
The smell of disgust wafting through the air and the large white spots on the surface of the ground prove that this is a polluted area that is no longer suitable for survival.
But compared to those places where viruses are rampant and humans are fighting each other, this place is already a good survival option, at least it will not be eaten as food.
"Whew!"
Beneath the quiet night sky of the wilderness, a distant wolf roar echoed.
Not only are there a handful of humans living here, but there are also mutated wolves of the wilderness.
In this day and age, ordinary humans will hide far away when they hear the howl of wild wolves, unless they are a small team and have to have a few heavy weapons in their hands, such as machine guns, to barely fight them.
Because as soon as the wolves in the wilderness appeared, there were more than a dozen, and even more than 20, they were already different from the wolves of the old era, they had already mutated, their bodies were more huge, agile, and their ferocity had been greatly improved, and they were definitely not something that could be solved by one person with one gun.
This is the time to sound the alarm.
••••••
••••••
On a hillside in this area, there is a wave of refugees who have fled from the big city, tired of the vendettas, robberies, and cannibalism of the big city, and have come to this remote place, hoping to survive and continue.
There were not many people, only two or three hundred, and the weapons in their hands were even more pitiful, only three machine guns, a dozen ordinary pistols and long guns, and the bullets were even more handful.
A wolf howl was heard.
The whole small gathering place was in turmoil, and in this era of daily desperate struggle for survival, everyone's nerves were tense, and they immediately cried out, "The wolf of the wilderness is coming, the wolf of the wilderness is coming." ”
"Everyone be careful, everyone hurry up and fight."
This area was deliberately chosen by them in the first place, uninhabited, inaccessible, and polluted, in the hope that self-reliance can survive.
But away from the crowd, away from germs, away from vendettas, but close to those mutated beasts, in this era, it is never possible to live in peace.
This is what everyone knows.
"Hide the children, the women, and the food, and hide them in the cellar, and the men who can hold the weapons, all ready, ready." The night watchman on duty shouted, "Don't panic, everyone, and try to get through this together." ”
This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened to the people who live here.
Although the wolf howl was terrifying, fortunately, they all had the instinct to survive in this era, and began to hold the child and food, and ran towards the cellar in an orderly manner.
The gathering place of the entire hillside began to carry out a quick and orderly self-preservation.
"Fight for a fence to keep out the hungry wolves of the wilderness."
"Didn't two people die a few days ago because they couldn't resist the pollution here? The head of the regiment deliberately saved it, just to use it at this time, and throw it out after a while, and some of those wild wolves will eat it, and it will also stop. ”
Make use of all the resources you can use.
It is fundamental to survival in this era.
But the wolf howls were heard more and more, more and more, "Woo! "Whew!" The sound was endless, but it still made them feel bottomless, "How many heads are coming, at least fifteen or sixteen, or even twenty, if there is a problem, two corpses are not enough." ”
"Don't give your life, in order to come here, so many people have died, you can't be dead.
There was a lot of panic in the heart.
Panic!
The situation was somewhat unexpected.
At this time, the person in charge of this small gathering place stood up, an old man of nearly sixty years old, wearing a camouflage military uniform under his tall body, although he was old, he could still see the majestic wind, "Don't be afraid, the fence has just been repaired this morning, and the hungry wolves can't rush in." ”
Reassure everyone.
Then he said to his men: "Organize all those who can fight to go to the fence to block the attack, there is too little food in this area, the wolves of the wilderness must be hungry and crazy, as long as they can't attack in a few rounds, they will collapse physically, and they are not invincible." ”
"Yes."
"Yes."
The people took the grabs, took homemade bows and arrows, and ran to the fence, which was only five or six meters high, and used all means to strengthen it.
Stone sand, iron wire, do everything, just hope that at the critical moment, you can save everyone's life.
Go to the lookout.
The night watchman came to report, "Old commander, the machine gunner is already in place, I have just checked that there are still sixty rounds of ammunition, and the bullets of the long and short guns are only a hundred, if the number of hungry wolves is not more than twenty, it can still pass this level, if it is exceeded, we have to hope that those evil wolves will gather together to facilitate strafing, if we attack separately, it will be difficult." ”
A full 120 years have passed since the outbreak of nuclear war.
These vicious wolves have long been different from before, they are big, fierce, agile, and their IQ has also developed wisely, all kinds of tactics, all kinds of sieges, siege points to send reinforcements, just like a well-trained small army.
As the head of this small gathering that was barely breathing, the old head was at a loss, and looked up at the radiation clouds in the sky, as a child born in this era.
He never understood one thing, why he started a nuclear war, why he didn't have a good life, and made the world like this.
"What do people living in the Taiping Age think, and why should a nuclear war break out?"
He sighed.
I was very speechless in my heart, if there was no war, what kind of life would I live, what would the world be like, I couldn't help but think a little.
For a moment, he felt that he was thinking far away, and hurriedly said: "Let's take one step at a time, this is how we can get here, if God lets us perish, there is nothing we can do." ”
Picked up the night market binoculars and watched the hungry wolves in the wilderness who had gone crazy come out of one place one by one, their eyes glowing green, each one was nearly two meters long, and they were wagging their tails, covered in black and purple, indicating that the pollution and radiation here made them not feel good.
At this time, they counted one by one, and with each more, the old leader's brow furrowed, and when he counted the sixteenth, his body was already trembling.
This is an uneasy tremor, especially when I see a red-eyed wilderness wolf slowly appearing at the back, panicking, "There is a wilderness blood wolf." ”
Radiation and pollution have mutated some animals.
The result of the mutation may be madness, death, decay, collapse, or it may become more powerful, more ferocious, more crazy.
This ratio is 100 to 1, and for every 100 infected and irradiated lifeforms, 99 will slowly die, and only one will have some qualitative changes.
The same is true for people.
But most of them are those animals with stronger survival instincts, such as the Wild Blood Wolf, which is an upgraded version of those Wild Wolves, with a height of five meters, strong limbs, and a huge wolf head with an unimaginable bite force, and steel can't resist his minions.
One wilderness blood wolf, five or six wilderness hungry wolves are not opponents, they are just an active strangulation machine.
Its appearance almost pronounced the fate of this small gathering place, that is, death, the old head of the regiment held the telescope and his hand softened, "Prepare to transfer, the fence here can't be stopped, the wilderness blood wolf is coming." ”
Those red eyes, hungry eyes, hateful eyes, had already seen and had to be evacuated.
"Transfer, where is the transfer going?"
The Night's Watch collapsed, "This generation is deserted, there is no place to hide, behind the hillside is the cliff, those wild wolves have surrounded us, we have nowhere to hide. ”
"yes, what can I do now?"
"Old Chief, you should think of a way, you can't just give up the gathering place we worked so hard to build."
They ran all the way from the big city, fled all the way, and killed four-fifths of the people, originally thinking that they could finally live a few days in peace, but they didn't expect that it would be such an ending, unwilling and annoyed.
took out his short gun, gritted his teeth, and said, "Fight with them." ”
"Yes, fight with them."
Unleashed the last of its blood.
But at this moment, suddenly "Bang! The silence under the night sky of the wilderness was shattered, and it was a cannon shot, or a gunshot.
Coming from afar.
The effect was that a wild wolf fell to the ground, "Woo! The head was smashed to pieces and died, which made the entire wolf pack turn its eyes from the camp to the direction of the gunfire in an instant.
And then there are the people in the camp, who see hope in the blink of an eye, "There are people, there are people over there." The old head shuddered, and took out his binoculars, looking for the only hope.
The one who shot it.
See if he can bring rebirth to the camp.
