Chapter 24: The Golden City

Jincheng, founded in 86 BC. It is recorded that the gold was dug up when the castle was first built here, so it was named Jincheng. In addition, there is also a saying that according to the Jincheng mountains will be embraced, solid as gold, so take the allusion of "Jincheng soup pool" and name Jincheng, which means that it is solid.

It is also the center of the Western Military Region of the five major military regions of the empire, so after the disaster, in addition to the border area in the west, refugees from other regions gathered around Jincheng, but fortunately, Jincheng is located on the Loess Plateau with serious soil and water damage, and the wave of beasts is not too serious, but insects such as locusts are unusually prosperous, mixed with large beasts, which makes people unguardable.

Countless people die every night, often in their sleep, and because the vast area is on the loess, although last year's grain harvest was abundant, but also because the cities were lost, and the mountain roads were broken by trees that grew overnight, so there was no way to transport the food in between.

Only the reserves of a few cities near Jincheng were transferred to Jincheng after making great sacrifices, but food is still a scarce and unreplenishable resource, although there are some carcasses of wild beasts, but few can fight back from the beast's mouth!

Although Jincheng is surrounded by mountains and has a huge river running through it, the Yellow River, it seems to be a solid defense against people, not against these increasingly powerful animals that will run out of nowhere. And because of the topography, Jincheng is a rectangular city, and it is particularly long, not ordinary! As a result, the defense line will be very long, so the defense line will become weaker and weaker, and the defense circle will become smaller and smaller!

Sometimes the warriors in the trenches would rush out with their spears and attack the enemy in front of them, but at some point a huge rat would emerge from the ground, its sharp teeth biting open the thick clothes it was wearing, and then blood would flow out of the torn wound like a stream.

And these breaths of blood and energy will attract insects flying in the air, one after another, densely forming a cloud of black mist that will run out of the wounded and sick, and get into it through the torn clothes, and in a few moments, a person will disappear without a trace, not even a trace of bone slag.

Only an empty one-piece suit lay on the ground, and there was not a trace of blood left on the ground.

The others could only watch him die in wailing, not because they didn't want to save him, but because there was nothing they could do, the blood would attract groups of "vampires" to gather and scatter countless insects flying in the air, and then small animals that could burrow into the ground would emerge from the ground, and then the large animals that smelled blood would also gather in this direction.

Unless the wounded person was carried to a sealed place, they could only watch her die, and this was only after paying the price of hundreds of lives that people understood. What is most lacking in the end of the world is people, and what is least lacking is also people!

What is lacking are people who can fight and lead a group of desperate people to the dawn, and there is no shortage of refugees who go with the flow, wailing every day and not knowing how to do it!

"Xu Guangming, what should I do? It's hard to hold here! ”

"If you can't stand it, you have to keep it!"

Wearing a gas mask, there is no way to wipe the sweat Xu Guangming let the sweat flow into the eye sockets, and a slight irritation came from where, making people eager to rub their eyes, but there was nothing they could do because of the mask. I can only blink vigorously to relieve the tingling sensation.

Since fleeing to Jincheng with the people of the town, as well as his own team and forensic doctor Lin Tonglu, he was photographed to the front line by the Jincheng Military Department, which was in dire need of manpower, and defended a small hill with his team.

And there was not one out of ten who fled with them, only a few hundred of them survived, and I heard that the other team that fled with them was completely wiped out, and not a single one survived, all of them died in the mouths of the beasts, and became their food! So it seems that they are still lucky!

"But I can't die!!"

At this moment, a man whose face could not be seen clearly because he was wearing a mask seemed to have a nervous breakdown, and he threw down the gun in his hand, as if he was about to turn and run towards the rear.

It's just that he was stopped by Xu Guangming before he took the first step.

"Do you want to die? Died at the hands of those people?? ”

Xu Guangming pointed to a half-built bunker in the rear and said, that bunker actually has many functions, one is to consolidate the defense line, and the other is that if anyone in the "inspection team" escapes, flames will come out of the muzzle of the black hole and shoot that person.

However, they will not shoot until the last minute, because those who die by shooting will bleed, and the bleeding will attract more "vampires" to move their large forces away from the bloody battlefield in front of them and move slowly to the rear.

Speaking of which, it is also because of the tragedy of the battlefield ahead, there are dead animals every moment, and these seemingly endless animals also bleed because of their wounds after death, and these blood attracts insects like walls in the air! So that they don't go towards the human gathering area behind, of course, there will be fish that slip through the net, but these are not to be feared! After all, it's only a minority.

"Xinwen is still behind!! What should I do if I die of her?? ”

The collapsed man squatted down and held his head, and shouted loudly at Xu Guangming!

"You don't want to die! I don't want to die either!! It seems that you are the only one who has Lin Xinwen!! I have it too!! There are also people waiting for me!! You're not the only one who is afraid of death, you're afraid!! ”

Xu Guangming said and spoke, he also cried, he couldn't tell whether it was tears or sweat, a drop of it flowed into his grown mouth, astringent, in line with his mood!

"Wow~~ah~~~"

Suddenly, the man who was squatting in the trench and crying stood up suddenly, picked up the gun he had thrown at his feet, and without aiming, bullets shot out of the hot barrels and hit the beasts that were constantly rushing up the hillside, and a terrifying cavity appeared from the rear of the body bullet, and the powerful stopping force of the bullet caused a running wolf to fall backwards, and then disappeared without a trace in a short time!

"Liu Yang, do you want to die? I want to die myself! Don't take me with you! ”

snatched the spear with a reddened barrel in Liu Yang's hand, and kicked Liu Yang's irrational body with a heavy kick!

"She's sick!! I haven't eaten good in a few days!! I'm useless!! I'm trash! ”

Liu Yang, who was sitting on the ground, kept fanning his cheeks with his left and right hands, and kept muttering in his mouth.

"I shouldn't, I regret it!! I regret not listening to Cheng Bin!! ”

"What's that??"

At this time, a loud scream woke Liu Yang up, and he got up from the ground with a grunt and looked in the direction he was pointing.

I saw a huge black shadow in the sky moving rapidly from the dense swarm of countless insects, in their direction!
