In the ruined city, of course, the roads will not be smooth, and many places are blocked by abandoned vehicles and huge communities of variants, so Song Ming and Caroline sometimes have to take a long detour to get through.

With a distance of less than two hundred kilometers, they ran until the sun was about to set, and then left the range of Z City.

The sky, which had been gray all along, began to darken, and after driving north for about ten kilometers, it was only a dozen kilometers away from Hope City, but Caroline stopped.

"It's almost there, why don't you leave?"

"Wait until it gets dark."

Caroline glanced at the sky, then looked at Song Ming expectantly: "So now you can prepare dinner." ”

“……”

That's the point?

Song Ming went around to pick up some wood, built a simple bonfire, put the pot on the bonfire, added some water, and then opened a few cans of meat and poured them into it to cook, of course these things were not enough for them to eat, so Song Ming tore a few packets of instant noodles, planning to make a pot of stewed instant noodles.

At night, the temperature was much cooler than during the day, and Caroline sat by the campfire, smelling the fragrance that was gradually becoming stronger, and felt the joy of surviving.

Yes, to be alive and to have food to eat is already very happy.

The noodles in the pot were cooked, and the two of them parted for a while, and Caroline was fascinated by the aroma of the meat and the firm smoothness of the noodles, which was much better than those synthetic energy creams that had a variety of flavors but had the same texture.

"Sorry, I've eaten all your merchandise."

Caroline said sorry, but the speed of the chopsticks was not much slower: "If you really want to do business in Hope City, I can match you up." ”

"That's great."

Song Ming didn't come to this world to take risks, he did it to make money!

Song Ming, who was eating noodles, felt that he was not satisfied, so he turned out another bottle of wine, planning to drink a little, but he was afraid that if he got drunk, he really died in the middle of the night and didn't know how to die.

"You even have wine!?"

Caroline was pleasantly surprised: "If you can guarantee a steady supply of wine, I can guarantee you a lot of money!" ”

"Well, it's not impossible......"

Before Song Ming finished speaking, Caroline had already taken the wine away, put the wine next to the fire and warmed it for a while, then picked it up and took a sip, the warm and smooth feeling slid into her throat, and then turned into a warm current in her abdomen to warm her body, and the feeling of being dripping made Caroline want to moan. Recite.

With such a beautiful woman by his side, Song Ming felt more like he was camping than surviving in the last days.

"Food is very scarce in Hope City, and the per capita ration is very small, and even with the CWA (City Garrison) scrap wood patrolling, there are still frequent robberies and killings because of food problems."

"There are also some maniacs who completely unleash their inner beast, they like to look for targets in the wild, and the most common method is to have a woman pretend to be a lone victim, seek protection from the target, and then seduce them, and do with them. Love, at that point those people will suddenly attack and kill the fooled, sweep away their food and weapons, and then look for the next target. ”

"There are also some women who directly use their bodies as weapons, and those who underestimate them have already died."

Caroline explained the situation in Hope City to Song Ming while drinking, and the expression on her face was very calm when she said this, obviously these situations are very common, but Song Ming was shocked when he heard it, the world has really gone crazy.

"Even women are so ruthless?"

Caroline looked at Song Ming with an indifferent expression: "If you still have such naïve thoughts, you will be deceived in Hope City, and you won't even have bones left." Want a weak and kind woman waiting for you to protect? Inexistent. How many people can survive in this environment are simple? ”

"Those who will only beg for help from others and will only rely on others, whether men or women, are losers, and losers are either dead or on the way to death."

"Those who survive are victors."

Caroline sat sideways on the rocks by the road, and after eating, she wiped the corners of her mouth very gracefully, looking like a lady.

She looked northwest and said, "There's a small hill ahead, and we'll follow the road, and after passing through the hills, we'll see Hope City." ”

Song Ming said: "What kind of enemy did you encounter?" They forced you to flee from Hope City to 200 kilometers away. ”

"You'll find out soon."

Caroline walked into the woods behind her with a bag: "If you peek, you do it at your own risk." ”

Caroline is a beauty beyond his imagination, but now Song Mingke really doesn't have the courage to flirt with Caroline.

The power rating of 156 seemed to mock his indiscretion......

After ten minutes, out of the woods came a heroic heroine, a capable man's shirt on Caroline made her look heroic, her hair tied in a simple ponytail, and seemed to be dyed with something, the color looked a little strange, and her white cheeks became dirty.

But what made Song Ming most strange was that her pair of proud twin peaks disappeared.

“…… Those clothes you took were just for a change of clothes? But what's that yours...... It's changed too much, right? ”

As if noticing Song Ming's gaze, Caroline said very calmly: "It's a bit cumbersome, it's tangled...... Can you stop watching it? ”

Song Ming looked away and asked casually, "Why are you dressed like this?" Isn't the smart chip exposing all the information? ”

"Anyway, I'm a thorn in the side of some people now, and although I'm not afraid of them, it's still necessary to make some disguise in order to reduce unnecessary trouble. Let's go. ”

After packing up, they set out again, and in a few moments, they were already following the road into the hilly terrain.

Stretching from the end of a mountain range in the west, the hill is small and lined with weeds, gravel and craters, and the occasional overturned car and bloodstained fence can be seen. The cold wind swept up the fallen leaves, and from time to time many decomposing corpses could be found under the fallen leaves.

"In the year after Doom Day, there was a lot of fighting everywhere, and it wasn't until the next year that the front stabilized, and it was also a defensive line at that time, and although few variants were able to reach here, they almost broke through the defense line several times."

Caroline looked at these corpses with some emotion, but Song Ming only had a feeling of disgust and disgust.

He found that the corpses had been bitten on them, and he was afraid that the mutant beasts in the vicinity had been feeding on them for a long time, until the corpses were so rotten that they could not even eat them before leaving.

A few hours later, it was getting dark, and when they had rounded the last bend, they finally walked out of the hills, and then, the magnificent Yanhuang Sanctuary in the distance came into Song Ming's eyes.

Although he had learned some of the information about the shelter from the offline public network database of the smart chip, Song Ming still couldn't describe the visual impact that the shelter brought him.

The whole body of the Yanhuang shelter is shaped like a white cone piercing the sky, the bottom layer covers an area of nearly 100 square kilometers, up to thousands of meters, from the ground straight into the sky, the higher the thinner it is, perhaps, the place where the starry sky can still be seen on the earth, only the upper layer of the shelter remains. In the evening daylight, the shelter is brightly lit, as if the last torch of human civilization is burning itself.

Compared to the sprawling Yanhuang Sanctuary, the City of Hope beneath its feet is almost like a slum – in fact, it is.

Although he couldn't see clearly from standing here, Song Ming could already feel the lingering despair in the dim lights of Hope City.

The layout of Hope City is very messy, there is no reason between streets and houses, and Song Ming, who is standing in the distance, has a headache when he sees it, which shows how eager people at that time were to build this "city".

Small warplanes can also be seen patrolling the area around the shelter, with searchlights sweeping the city of Hope below. As you can imagine, the security there is not much better.

"Even if I live in its shadow, I will be shocked again when I see this behemoth in the distance."

Caroline sighed, her eyes complicated, not knowing what she was thinking right now.

"I'm curious about what kind of crazy mentality the government had built this kind of monster in the first place."

"Probably like the ancient Babylonian man-made Tower of Babel, trying in vain to prove that human technology can compete with heaven and earth...... Ironically, it is precisely because of this monster-like structure that a small number of humans have survived. ”

Looking at the stark contrast between the shelter and Hope City, the atmosphere suddenly became a little dull, and the two of them didn't say a word, and after a short rest, they went straight to the goal, at this time, the sun had completely set, and the land was plunged into darkness.

The searchlight next to the sentry standing guard emitted a dim glow, and the spots of light swept across the ground in the distance. The Sentinel's eyes were no longer sharp from the nightmarish life, and now that even a mutant suddenly appeared in front of them, it would be difficult for them to lift their spirits.

This was an outpost on the east side of Hope City, and Song Ming and Caroline were now cowering in the darkness more than a thousand meters away from them, and Caroline was staring at the sentry.

Song Ming whispered to Caroline, "Why do you want to sneak in while it's dark?" Could it be that if my identity cannot be verified, I will die? ”

Civilizations are already on the verge of destruction, and people will die for this reason?

"No, your identity is only one reason." Caroline shook her head and turned her head to look at him, her eyes shining in the darkness, "It's just that I'm not sure if I'm wanted right now, so try not to risk it." ”

"Wanted!?"

Song Ming's face was very ugly, could he be on a thief ship?

Caroline glared at him, obviously guessing what he was thinking, and wanted to say something but suddenly closed her mouth and pressed Song Ming to the ground.
