Generally speaking, creatures that make cocoons are very tough for their own strength.
Those creatures that cocoon themselves. When you come up with it, it takes all your strength and a lot of time. This tough cocoon skin, on the one hand, is to protect the creatures inside. On the other hand, it is also so that when the creature comes out, it can get a certain amount of refinement. After all, stay still in the cocoon for a long time. The physical strength and the qi qi of the creatures are no longer adapted to the outside world. At this time, if you are suddenly exposed to the air, you are very likely to be seriously injured or even die due to the pressure of the atmosphere.
Zhang Chen had seen this kind of situation when he was young. If you see a cocoon like this on a branch, and the little thing in the breach is struggling desperately to get out, if you are kind enough to take a knife and cut through the cocoon and let it out. Well, after it comes out, it won't be long before it dies. On the contrary, if you don't care about it. It looks hard and painful, but it doesn't die when it comes out.
At this time, whether the mutant zombies wrapped in cocoons are ripe or not is still secondary. And that layer of cocoon skin is obviously too tough for it. One of its hands scratched through the cocoon. But it was extremely difficult to widen the hole.
Xin Dong'er smiled and devoured as she looked at this crazy struggling guy. Watch it tear through it in extreme pain and figure it out. Seeing Zhang Chen, he was a little unbearable.
The mutated zombie's body hadn't yet grown. The hole in the cocoon grew larger. The outstretched hand grew a little longer, and you could see colored arms and a small patch of multicolored wings. But the muscles in the arms are not fully developed. It looks like an overcooked chicken paw.
Xin Dong'er kept devouring it all the time. It frantically clawed at the gap, trying to get out. Until it was devoured, it couldn't get its head out of its cocoon.
Xin Dong'er closed her beautiful little mouth. The corners of the mouth smiled. Zhang Chen sighed a little beside him, "It's so cruel......"
"It's fun...... Cocooning ...... It's an interesting ability......" Xin Dong'er said.
Zhang Chen was speechless.
The warehouses were filled with large bales of grain in brown sacks, which were neatly stacked and looked like ancient city walls. Zhang Chen and Xin Dong'er walked forward in the aisle made of grain. The zombies are all dead. The whole warehouse feels like a condensed version of an uninhabited city.
Zhang Chen was puzzled at this time. "Cocooning is also an ability?"
Xin Dong'er nodded vigorously. Zhang Chen peeked at the smug expression on her face. The heart said, "You're fooling people." But at times like this, it doesn't make much sense to think about that.
"Let's go back." Zhang Chen said and walked to the outside of the warehouse. Xin Dong'er was behind him, and then her voice said happily, "Give it to you......" She opened her bright red mouth, took something from her mouth with two slender fingers and handed it to Zhang Chen. It was a cyan crystal.
"This ......" Zhang Chen raised his eyes and looked at Xin Dong'er and took it. The cyan crystal, although the color is not strong, still means that if this guy breaks out of the cocoon, he will have the strength of the fire demon level. Unexpectedly. It was killed......
Zhang Chen held up the crystal in his hand, looked at the light in front of the window on the wall, and said, "I thought you swallowed it." ”
"No...... What can I get out...... Be happy......" Xin Dong'er said with a pout, she shook Zhang Chen's arm next to Zhang Chen flatteringly and said, "Okay...... I won't do this next time......" This girl is mentally connected with Zhang Chen, so she can feel Zhang Chen's unhappiness.
"Ah...... Never mind. I just can't understand it......"
“…… Hehe......" Xin Dong'er bared her teeth and smiled, revealing her white eighth tooth at the corner of her mouth.
Zhang Chen put the crystal into the storage space. Crystals of this color. Use it as a prop to stock up. If needed, the system can also use it when the energy is needed.
……
"Big brother, aren't you staying? We take in refugees from outside here. There are already more than 2,300 people. We can build a small country on our own. Xie Anguo heard that Zhang Chen was indeed leaving. The reaction was somewhat large. He always thought that Zhang Chen would stay.
At this time, both of them were on the third floor of the housing authority. There was a team of more than 2,000 people integrated by Xie Anguo downstairs.
Zhang Chen shook his head, and then said, "I have to go." Besides, our target should not be as small as Ansui County. Xie Anguo looked a little depressed, Zhang Chen patted Xie Anguo on the shoulder and said. You have to dig out talents. Maybe it won't be long before I'll put you on a bigger responsibility. ”
"Big brother." Xie Anguo was obviously excited, "It turns out that we still have to go out." ”
Zhang Chen stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the full street standing below. More than 2,000 people are about the number of students in an average elementary school. I can fill half of the playground.
"So your task is heavy." Zhang Chen said to Xie Anguo at this time. "The only person I can trust for the time being is you. You have to find a way to find more reliable people to take your place in your current position. If one day I'm going to let you go to a bigger city to take care of things. You have to have someone here to take over your job. Our business has just begun, and there is a shortage of reliable talent. ”
The wound on Xie Anguo's face. The medicine has been found three days ago. The wounded medicine mouth was also met by the doctor who surrendered, but he was left with several scars, which looked fierce. Only at this time, the expression on his face was extremely excited, "Okay, big brother." I understand. Don't worry, I'll take care of the one here. ”
Zhang Chen nodded, "Be careful to keep a low profile." Many things have not been revealed since the end of the world. Our own current strength is far from being able to compete for the world. But we will eventually dominate the world. You must pay attention to the deployment of manpower around the county seat to conduct surveillance. If there are mutated zombies, you must notify me as soon as possible. ”
"Understood. Eldest brother. ”
……
On the way back to Shenzhen-Hong Kong City. Xin Dong'er sat in Zhang Chen's passenger seat as usual. And their car was followed by a pickup truck. There sat a man and two women. The boy was about eighteen years old. His name is Zhao Hui. According to Xie Anguo, the boy was cautious and intelligent. The other two girls were similar. Zhang Chen took them to Shenzhen-Hong Kong City to be a contact. Maintain a minimum connection with the territory of Ansui County.
After returning to Shenzhen-Hong Kong City, Zhang Chen used his identity as a teacher at "Jiangwu University". Brought three people in. This may also be the first time that these three young people have returned to the human world after the end of the world. They were looking around almost constantly.
"You guys, let's live in Shangyuan Village for the time being." Zhang Chen said to Zhao Hui and the other two little girls who were looking around. He arranged for people to live in Shangyuan Village because Fang Li, a liaison sent by Zhang Honglong from Ning City, also lived there. You can ask her to help find a house.
Shangyuan Village is a refugee area, and it is very shabby. Groups of refugees sitting on the side of the road can be seen almost everywhere on the roadside. The bodies of refugees who died on the side of the road can even be seen sometimes.
In places with such population explosions, security is often a problem. It's hard to find a decent place to live. The so-called inch of land is worth every dollar. Even if you take money, you may not be able to find a place to live. Zhang Chen went to find Fang Li first, and she claimed to be a native of Shenzhen-Hong Kong City. Later, I don't know how I followed Zhang Honglong from Ning City. According to her own account, her parents moved to Ning City for business. The true situation is unknown.
In such a place where there are many refugees, it is not easy to find a place even if you bring this "land snake" with you.
Zhao Hui also muttered as he walked at this time, "I finally found a human city, but it is so difficult to find a place to live." If only I could buy a house here. I can also think about getting a wife. ”
The two girls next to him laughed.
Fang Li is a local, she has been leading the way in front, and then she turned around and said, "Shangyuan Village is a refugee area, even if you want to buy a house here, it will cost more than 500,000 yuan." In terms of purchasing power, this is already equivalent to more than 5 million RMB. That's enough for you to marry several daughters-in-law. This is still a very bad place. Shangyuan Village is slightly better, and it costs more than 8 million. As for the other districts, it is more expensive. Houses in wealthy areas, not to mention. If it is less than tens of millions, it cannot be mentioned. ”
Zhao Hui was a little at odds with the two girls beside him.
"It's so expensive. Does it make sense to buy this kind of house? ”
Fang Li sighed and said. "How can I say it? There is definitely meaning. For example, residents in wealthy areas receive a fixed government subsidy every month. and the slums took less than they did. There is nothing in the refugee area. And here, people in the refugee area are not allowed to enter the civilian area casually. However, people in civilian areas are free to enter refugee areas. Similarly, residents of the pauperto cannot enter the rich neighborhood. People in wealthy areas are free to enter and exit a place. This is also a relatively best status symbol, where you live, it means your identity. ”
Zhang Chen didn't say anything all the time. He is not familiar with it here, and it is nonsense to say anything, so it is arranged by Fang Li.
A few people were lucky. By the evening of the day. Finally found a place to live.
……
When Zhang Chen drove back to the Jade Dragon Hotel, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. It's already dark outside.
In the past few days, Xu Zhongguang has come to this hotel several times every day to see if Zhang Chen has returned. So when Zhang Chen came in. I just happened to see him.
He's actually a man who enjoys life. After coming to this city, he temporarily became the second generation of officials. But he didn't forget his relationship with Zhang Chenla. This is actually seeking more political capital for his sister. The Adept is already synonymous with power in this day and age. Whether it is the director of the public security bureau or the head of the armed police detachment.
His elder sister Xu Zhongying will encounter problems that cannot be solved. In the fierce competition in officialdom, allowing oneself to solve problems that others cannot solve is a necessary political capital. And most of the problems of this era that others can't solve. I'm afraid it will take a supernatural to solve it.
And Xu Zhongguang came to Shenzhen-Hong Kong City on the way, and the strength of Zhang Chenbiao he saw was really said. That scared him too much. As a person who grew up in an official family, he has always been very concerned about this. After connecting with his sister, he explained Zhang Chen's situation to his sister as soon as possible.
He still remembers the words of his sister at that time.
Xu Zhongguang's sister, Xu Zhongying's appearance is very different from him. She has been an armed police officer for many years, and her body is quite well maintained. And the skin is delicate and fair. Nearly forty years old, he looks about the same as thirty years old, very beautiful and capable. "If his strength is really as strong as you say. So how to fight the relationship is a must......"
The solemnity when she spoke was also something Xu Zhongguang didn't expect.
"Is there so much pressure at work now...... "You must know that before the end of the world, Xu Zhongying was the head of the armed police detachment, not the director of the public security bureau. At this time, he acted as the chief of the public security bureau. In a sense, the original police can't solve many problems.
Xu Zhongying frowned and paced around the room and said, "Now this time." Most of the problems encountered are related to those mutated zombies. After the emergence of those lowest-level mutant zombies. When it comes to solving the problem, it's already very difficult. ”
In the post-apocalyptic environment, being the chief of the public security bureau and the head of the armed police detachment, the pressure is not difficult to imagine. Last month, mutated zombies appeared by the river in the north of the city. Of the elite SWAT officers who were transferred, five were sacrificed and fourteen were seriously injured before they could barely solve the problem. And judging from the situation, it was just a relatively low-level mutant zombie. Her predecessor stepped down because she couldn't deal with the riots caused by mutant zombies.
Xu Zhongying stared at the window and said, "Those people from the Human Survival Alliance. Even the mayor is pulling relations. We just want to be out of it. If you can get to know here, you must have a good relationship. It's so important......"
So Xu Zhongguang. understands that building this relationship is more meaningful to him than anything else. Although this small layer of officialdom after the end of the world is not so complicated, the problems that Xu Zhongying has to face are not as strict as those of those top high-level battles. But it's even more dangerous, and she needs to be able to solve the problem of key mutant zombies born on the spot.
……
"How is Lao Xu doing?" Zhang Chen is in a good mood. So it's easier to talk to him.
"It's the same old way." Xu Zhongguang smiled, "Now that I am a second-generation official for a few days, it can be regarded as resting and resting." Both of them laughed, and then he said, "Why do you look like your pants are dirty, have you encountered something?" ”
Zhang Chen took Xin Dong'er and Xu Zhongguang to sit on the sand assembly on the side of the hall on the first floor. There is very light music. There are very gentle lights, and the decoration of the five-star hotel feels like a royal palace. There is a feeling of a world away from the broken place in Ansui County in recent days.
Zhang Chen's dirty body was not because of a long trip, but because he helped his three children find a place to live, and that place was too dirty.
"Found a place for a couple of friends. I didn't think it was so troublesome. Zhang Chen said this. Xu Zhongguang's chubby face was a little dissatisfied, "Why don't you tell me about such a thing?" If you're looking for a place to stay, I can still help. ”
Zhang Chen said with a smile. "I can't bother you with anything."
Xu Zhongguang smiled and said, "It's too outward." I finally didn't give you a chance to help you a little. ”
"Huh." Zhang Chen laughed. Then he said, "You say you see the outside." I happen to have something right now, and I really want you to help me. ”
Xu Zhongguang leaned forward, sat up and said, "That's right." Anything, as long as I can do it. I'll definitely help. It's hard to say. In this place, I am also half an official. ”
Zhang Chen put his hands under his chin and said seriously, "I want to buy a house." Give yourself a place to live. It's better to have a single house with several floors, the kind that can accommodate more people. ”
Xu Zhongguang slowly leaned on the sand as if thinking about Zhang Chen's request, and then asked, "Where are you going to buy it?" ”
Zhang Chen also knew at this time that there was a huge gap between housing prices in civilian areas and rich areas.
He straightened up, leaned against the sand and smiled, "I'll buy it wherever it is." You ask me first. I have some money in my hand now. Theoretically, Zhang Chen has about two million new coins in his hand (about 20 million RMB). But in this kind of place where every inch of land is really valuable, it is still very reluctant to buy a large single-family house. But after all, he himself has covered two cities. It's not a big problem to force some more money to come.
In fact, for Zhang Chen, it is quite convenient for him to only stay in the Jade Dragon Hotel. The room was cleaned, and there was electricity and water to serve it.
But for Zhang Chen, he obviously has to have a place of his own. Xie Anguo chose three people for him. plus the one that Zhang Honglong came over on the other side. Zhang Chen had four by his side at this time. These people are all contacts. I always live in a refugee area with a high crime rate, and I can't say if someone killed him that day.
As a connection to those dwellings in the distance. Anyway, it's better to be safe. Besides, there will be more territory in the future, and it can't all be scattered like this.
"I can't talk about this matter now...... Xu Zhongguang said after thinking for a while, "It's not a trivial matter. I'll check it out. ”
……
Two days later, Xu Zhongguang returned to the Jade Dragon Hotel. When he came back in the door, his face was red. "Boss, I've found a house, I don't know if you want it."
"Found it?" Zhang Chen was in the hall on his forty-fourth floor at this time. He gave Xu Zhongguang a seat and asked with great interest, "What kind of place is it?" ”
Xu Zhongguang approached Zhang Chen with an excited face and said, "Ruishan Garden." Zhang Chen was taken aback when he heard the name. In fact, he has been looking at the map for the past two days and paying attention to the house prices. In this Shenzhen-Hong Kong city, the price of houses is divided into regions and grades, for example, a 100-square-meter house in a refugee area like "Shangyuan Village" can cost between S$500,000 and S$800,000. In a better civilian area like Taibai, the price starts at least S$1 million.
The rich area is even more outrageous. It starts at two million, and most of them are out of the market.
And the Ruishan Garden that Xu Zhongguang said is a very high-quality area in the rich area. It's not too far from this Jade Dragon Garden, and theoretically, it's one of the most expensive places in the city.
"Boss, if you're okay now. How about I'll take you to see it? Xu Zhongguang said in a low voice.
Zhang Chen nodded in agreement.
……
This is a detached house with a front and back yard, and Zhang Chen is very satisfied even if he only takes a look outside. The house has five floors. The yard is big and easy to park.
Upstairs. When you look out of the window of the building, you can see the city flower beds and fountains in the distance. The back window can see the Shengang River leading to the sea outside Shenzhen-Hong Kong City in the distance. Even the buoys on the river can be seen.
The roof is the kind of European slope, the kind of blue cobblestone house where you can look at the stars on the roof......
On top of that, the house is a detached house with a front and back yard. There are five floors, and there are hundreds of people, so there is no problem at all.
Zhang Chen was looking upstairs and downstairs. The building materials for this house are also very solid. There's hardly any crack or anything anywhere. It is not at the same level as those so-called affordable housing before the end of the world. Really satisfied. He thought to himself that this place could be used as a temporary settlement. If it is rebuilt, it can even be used as a simple fortification.
Just such a nice house, how much does it cost? When Zhang Chen saw this, he had already thought about it in his heart. This house must be taken. Whatever it will be for in the future, it will have to be.
"Lao Xu, you tell the truth. How much does this house cost? Zhang Chen asked Xu Zhongguang in a serious whisper.
Xu Zhongguang kept following behind Zhang Chen with a smile on his face, and he stretched out a finger at this time, "The bright side will cost at least 1.8 million Singapore dollars." ”
"1,800,000 !!" Zhang Chen said with some surprise, this is undoubtedly too cheap.
Xu Zhongguang explained with a smile, "This is the government's house. Originally, it was built by the government as a place for retired officials to recuperate. The price of the house was demanded by the official for many years. If you like it. I can think of a cheaper idea. ”
"No less. That's a good price. Zhang Chen was content. At this price, even if you buy a 100-square-meter house in a civilian area, it is about the same. It's a five-story building. There is also a house with front and back yards. This is already the price of jumping. (To be continued......)
