"Seriously, it's worse out there than here. I just escaped from the outside. Monsters eat people, and survivors kill people for a little food. The ruler here is a madman, but the overall situation is better than outside. If you do well and are favored by the mayor, you will also be rewarded by a woman. You don't understand that this is a new rule, a new social order. ”

Looking at Qi Yuanchang, whose eyes were a little gloomy, Zhou Ang behaved very calmly: "I'm not speaking for myself. I'll tell you the truth, I don't like my life right now. Before the virus broke out, I was earning more than a million a year. Everything I had was gone overnight. Who can I blame? What can I say about this? I can't do anything but hide with what I think is valuable. ”

"I've seen so much from that time to now. Relatives fight each other for a bite of food, wives sell their husbands for safety, sons push their parents to mutant monsters when they run for their lives, and others fight for cars, food, and water...... You've seen these things, but will you help them? ”

Qi Yuanchang heard what Zhou Ang said: "What, have you helped others?" ”

Zhou Ang nodded and laughed self-deprecatingly: "I helped several survivors, and they were grateful to me at the time, but they wanted to kill me afterwards. ”

Qi Yuanchang couldn't help blurting out: "Why? ”

"Just because I brought more food than them, and some vitamin pills."

Zhou Ang's voice was a little lonely: "It's all in the past, don't mention it." Anyway, I don't want to have that experience again. The first time someone pointed a knife to my head felt terrible, and I was lucky, when the guy rushed to kill me, he stepped on a rock and fell, and I took the opportunity to escape. If you are betrayed by others in the future, you will slowly get used to it. I've tried to do this a few times. The first time it felt like a crime, there was a lot of guilt. The second time it was much easier. Later, it was like eating and drinking, and I didn't feel anything. ”

Qi Yuanchang looked at the cigarette butt in his hand that was about to burn out: "Why do you want to tell me this?" You don't have to tell me that you can rot them in your stomach. ”

"I've always wanted someone to talk to."

Zhou Ang had a relieved expression on his face, and his voice was very flat: "My friends are dead." Sometimes I feel lucky that because I'm not married, I don't have to be responsible for a woman. Love and marriage are heavy chains that bind men and allow us to have women while also carrying eternal responsibilities. It's nothing in peacetime, you can balance everything with money and material things. Now, for the sake of damn promises, men have to pay with their lives, which may not be enough. ”

"I used to look down on vegetarians. Thinking about it now, it was so naïve at that time. Looking at the people in the village who have eaten human flesh, I feel like I am living in an ogre's lair. They eat up the women and eat the skinny, giving priority to the easiest guys. Actually, I admire the mayor, and I mean his various ways of balancing his hands with normal food. He always had enough manpower for farming, and he kept all sorts of things in and out of the village in order. If you just look at these, he can actually be regarded as a qualified, and even an excellent manager. But his distribution of women and personal belongings put many people on the opposite side. You just walked in by chance, and even if you hadn't fired a shot today, someone else would have done it to the mayor. He's going to die, I'm sure of that. ”

Qi Yuanchang threw away the cigarette butt in his hand: "Someone in this place must stand up and speak." How, are you interested in becoming the new mayor? ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Zhou Ang was stunned, and then the expression on his face became very exciting.

"What do you say? Let me be the new mayor? He asked, looking puzzled, uncertain.

Qi Yuanchang nodded seriously: "I'm not joking." You have the ability. ”

The question in Zhou Ang's heart was still not eliminated: "Why? You kill the mayor, you can completely replace him. ”

Qi Yuanchang kept shaking his head: "I don't have that time, and I don't have the energy." I said from the beginning that I just wanted to come in and get some food and rest for a while. But the guy called the mayor didn't believe it at all, and instead took my equipment. I had no choice but to kill him. ”

This reason is reasonable and completely consistent with Qi Yuanchang's original statement.

Zhou Ang gradually believed his words. However, he still has a few questions.

"Why choose me? There are a lot of people here who are better than me. I can't control them at all, and they don't listen to my orders. ”

"The first question is simple: you warned me not to come in at the gate. Maybe you don't want to get in trouble, maybe you're doing it with good intentions. Either way, I'm going to accept your affection. Think of it as my reward for you! ”

Qi Yuanchang got up from the chair, picked up the assault rifle on the table, and his voice suddenly became cold: "As for those who are disobedient, just kill them." There are enough people who have died in this world, and even a few more deaths are not a big deal. ”

Zhou Ang was a smart man, and he saw that Qi Yuanchang must have a purpose in doing this: "What do you want to do?" Let me be your puppet? ”

Qi Yuanchang nodded, but he didn't fully agree with this statement: "I won't stay here for too long." I want you to do something for me. ”

Zhou Ang tried to make himself inclined to believe this statement: "Help you do things? ”

"When you're full, you'll get into trouble when you're idle, and that's the way the mayor is going. He's been doing nothing for too long, so his mind doesn't know much. ”

Qi Yuanchang smiled and explained: "You must have played online games, just like in the game, I will issue tasks for you." As long as you do well, you will get a reward from me. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out a pistol from his back waist and shook it in front of Zhou Ang's eyes: "I've been telling the truth from beginning to end. Even if the mayor on the other side was a madman, I didn't lie to him. I have several of these guns, and a sufficient number of bullets. What do you think, how about such a reward? ”

Zhou Ang was completely intrigued. In a chaotic world, weapons are indeed the best prizes. He swallowed hard in his throat and nodded, "Very good." I'm starting to get interested in what you have to say. ”

"Listen, I need you to help me gather information."

Qi Yuanchang sat down again and said seriously: "I want you to get official documents from all government units in nearby villages and towns, or cities. ”

Zhou Ang was a little confused: "Official documents? What are you referring to? ”

"The documents officially issued by the higher departments, as well as all the monthly and weekly reports conveyed to the subordinate units, are brought back to me as much as possible. The focus is on hospitals, police stations, sub-district offices, and government departments at all levels. Whatever these documents are about, as long as they can be found, I want them all. ”

Qi Yuanchang has never given up exploring this world.

He is well aware that his power alone is very limited. If more people join in, they will be able to learn more about potential secrets and discover more.

You don't need a strong infectious body to do this kind of thing, ordinary people can do it.

However, you can't let them know what they're doing. Otherwise, no one will do things for you.

Qi Yuanchang got a lot of weapons from the Chengdu Public Security Department, and his backpack was full of guns and bullets. He was going to use it as a reward, and he didn't mind scattering all his weapons as long as someone was willing to do it.

Luckily, Qi Yuanchang discovered Heyue Village, a survivor settlement.

It's safe and you don't have to worry about food and accommodation. He can stay here for a while and let Zhou Ang come out and preside over the situation.

There is a pay, there is a return.

……

When the train entered Xi'an Station, Liu Tianming saw several people standing on the platform.

There are six in total, all of them survivors.

This is the first time this has happened. If Yang Yanhong hadn't discovered the situation with a telescope in the locomotive control room, I am afraid that the existence of these people would not have been discovered until the train entered the station.

No infected body was found nearby, which made Liu Tianming feel relieved. Without waiting for the train to be completely stable, he took Zheng Xiaoyue and several core members of the team to jump directly from the Mercedes-Benz carriage and landed firmly on the ground.

"Who are you? Where did it come from? What do you want to do here? ”

The content of these questions has become the first standard of conversation between strangers in the disaster world. The survivors on the station platform apparently did not expect the train to appear, and they appeared panicked and hurriedly grabbed their weapons. When Liu Tianming and the others jumped out of the car, the vigorous movements made these people feel even more uneasy. They gathered together, clutching the processed sticks and knives tightly as they watched the strangers stride toward them.

As long as it's not a murderous corpse, even if it's a stranger, there are opportunities to communicate with each other.

After a brief conversation, Liu Tianming had figured out the situation here.

Like other cities, Xi'an is in ruins.

There are a lot of survivors in the city. However, instead of spreading out as in other cities, they have gathered into several larger groups. The reason why this happened was because when the virus broke out, there happened to be a military column stopping here. The carriages were loaded with guns and ammunition, as well as various military supplies. At that time, traffic along the line had been blocked, and for safety reasons, the troops who stayed behind the train armed some civilians on the spot. But they didn't expect the virus to spread so quickly, and the tide of zombies quickly engulfed everything.

All the soldiers escorting the car were killed, but the weapons and ammunition on the car remained. The zombies were not interested in these things and gradually dispersed. When the station calmed down, some survivors searching for supplies found it, and the weapons and equipment were also taken by them and passed on to others.
