Chapter 270: Huguang Base
The people of the four families who came back from the valley were like frightened quails, their eyes glazed and frightened.
At this time, no one shouted that Senior Commander Li was ineffective, and even the four middle-aged people who were the backbone of the backbone had a hellish look on their faces at this time, not knowing what to do, after all, the current situation was completely beyond their expectations.
Thinking of the blood color of that valley, there is no one who is not frightened, but as a habit of running rampant in the Huguang base group for more than a year, although they are frightened in their hearts, they still try to put on a calm and self-committed appearance, in fact, their expressions are in the eyes of Master Li and others.
Among them, the middle-aged members of the Jiang family, who are the leaders of the four major families who came this time, know that it is very unsafe to stay here now, and who knows if the guy who caused everything in the valley has not left.
If you really didn't leave, although you didn't want to admit it in your heart, how could you be in such a dangerous place when you have been hiding behind and enjoying the fruits of victory.
It has always been the motto of these self-proclaimed upper-class people that a gentleman is not good for being under the wall, so when Master Li just wanted to send these people back, the people of the four major families found various reasons to leave here one by one.
Division Commander Li stood next to the medical car, looking at the large group of people who came and went in a hurry, and was speechless for a while, but fortunately, these people took away the four troublesome guys, otherwise Division Commander Li would have to find a way to make treatment arrangements.
But these four poor guys are estimated to be difficult to cure, and no matter what they do when the time comes, they will not be right, and this time they just solved their own troubles.
Just when Division Commander Li was stationed near the valley to conduct reconnaissance, Yi Xuan and the four wolf warriors came to the westernmost base city of the Huguang base group in camouflage costumes, similar to those hunters who went out hunting.
Approaching this base, Yi Xuan felt as if he had come to an ancient city, except for the guards standing guard at the gate holding automatic weapons in their hands to indicate that this place belonged to the modern era, the entire base city was surrounded by a city wall that was nearly 10 meters tall, and it looked like an ancient fortress.
There are not only huge city gates, but also urn city and other unique buildings of the ancient city wall, and a moat nearly 100 meters wide was specially dug on the side of the city wall, but at this time there was no river water in it, but there were a lot of barbed wire and cement to resist horses, and it was a moat.
There are no trees within a few hundred meters outside the city wall, all of them have been cleaned up and unobstructed, which is similar to the city of the ark, but the walls of the city of the ark are higher, and there are no soldiers on it to defend, all of them are automatic fire systems controlled by the jade butterfly system.
At the city gate, Yi Xuan and his party of 5 entered this huge city.
Banknotes in peacetime have long been useless, and the currencies that are now used around the world are internal credits issued by the alliance of base groups in various places, and are managed through the restored network to collect information about the current survivors.
This kind of credit point system is because each base group has recently developed its own system, but most of them have no sense of trust in the managers of the base group, and this system is actually a situation that exists in name only.
In less than two months since the beginning of the implementation, the value of credit points has depreciated again and again, from the beginning of a credit point can be exchanged for ten catties of rice to now 100 credit points can not even exchange for a steamed bun.
This is still because of the inconvenient transportation now, and ordinary people cannot communicate with each other among the various base groups, otherwise the situation will be even worse when it comes to exchange, after all, the integrity of the credit points between the various base groups is not the same.
Therefore, the trade around the world has basically reverted to the exchange of rare metals such as gold and silver in ancient times, and in some places even bartered directly, after all, most people now prefer to get food directly rather than take these useless metals.
However, in large bases, the various major forces and the merchants who have spawned after various disasters prefer to settle accounts with gold and silver.
This time, Yi Xuan directly brought some gold filtered out by Yu'er when decomposing materials to use as funds, this kind of thing is useless in the Ark City, but it is quite good to use it.
However, it is estimated that no one can think that he thinks so easily, although gold is precious, because when making super alloys in winter, various metals or ores can be broken down directly at the atomic level without smelting.
And all kinds of wild ores will contain some gold elements, if it is ordinary smelting gold, it has no value at all, but here in Yu'er, because it is very convenient to decompose, it has accumulated a lot, and now several tons of waste have been piled up in the waste heap in the cave.
There are many alloys used in gold, and it is too soft to use alone, and the city of the ark uses credits, if it weren't for Yi Xuan's plan to send his own agents to go deep into the world in the future as a fund, it is estimated that it would have been regarded by Yu'er as a continuation of smelting into fine gold. 、
What is pure gold Yi Xuan didn't know, Yu'er said that it was the most basic refining material for cultivating civilization, at first Yi Xuan wanted Yu'er to get it out, but Yu'er gave that it was not a thousand catties to practice 1 tael, and Yi Xuan, who was frightened on the spot, paused this matter, and besides, under the rules of the world today, refining materials are useless, even the runes on his individual armor are just runes carved from ordinary materials.
Seeing that Yi Xuan's wealth fan looked like a hen protecting food, Yu'er finally had to give up this idea, which seemed to Yi Xuan to be very extravagant.
In fact, what Yi Xuan didn't know was that after he stopped Yu'er from leaving, Yu'er said to herself: "This bit of gold is protected like this, if you know that I used dozens of tons of gold to make his inner armor in the past, I don't know if I will go crazy, hehe." ”
After walking through the urn city and entering the real base city, Yi Xuan suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment, and all kinds of noisy sounds and unpleasant smells came from the pavement.
Although the spiritual power has overlooked the entire city from the air as early as outside the city, only when you walk in here can you feel a different red dust atmosphere.
Although through various photos circulating on the Internet, Yi Xuan has long known that because of the inaction of the managers, all kinds of dirty and messy things in the base city are close to the ancient castles of the European Middle Ages.
Although the city lords in various places have a large population and a lot of talents, most of them have no idea of infrastructure construction at all, and after working the city wall, they use all the wealth they have scavenged into their personal castles.
As early as when Yi Xuan overlooked the entire city through the air of spiritual power outside the city, he saw a more solid castle with many buildings inside the city wall, all of which were made of reinforced concrete.
I don't know how much manpower these big guys wasted to bring so much steel and concrete here after the disaster.
The most infuriating thing is that, apart from these fortified fortresses, there are no specially planned roads in the rest of the place, and they are all roads that lead to several gates because of how many people take them.
The road is only sprinkled with stones, and if it rains, it must be muddy.
On both sides of the road, there are wooden sheds or simply sheds built of a few rags, of course, Yi Xuan still saw the special tents used for disaster relief in Huaguo in the past, but the slogans for disaster prevention and mitigation printed on them are awkward.
The whole city looks like a stinking dung pit from above, although it is estimated that some people can't stand the planning of some sewers, but I don't know what these modern people think, even if the biogas digesters that were known in the countryside in the past are not used, but these sewers are all bare ditches on the surface.
When the weather heats up, the whole city is filled with an unpleasant stench.
Perhaps it was the fear of the zombies and the hunters who robbed outside, but even in such a poor environment, people still live here, selling their simple labor in exchange for menial food.
This scene even made Yi Xuan think that he had come to an African refugee camp in the past, and even many children were playing on the side of the road without covering their clothes, suffering from long-term malnutrition, and all of them were yellow and thin.
But fortunately, the city is still relatively large, although the gutter is smelly, but walking on the avenue is not a problem.
After all, the people who can live on both sides of the avenue and build all kinds of wooden or brick houses are also rich or powerful people in the city, so their living conditions are still several grades higher than those poor people in the slums.
Even Yi Xuan saw that there was a completely modern three-story building not far away, where there were neon signs with a few beautiful women printed on them, and the people who came and went were also well-dressed, completely different from those poor people who lived on the food and clothing line.
This catastrophe not only shattered the stable and peaceful life of the past, but also restored the class differences between people to the same level as in ancient times, and if this situation continues, the process of human development will inevitably come to a serious standstill.
After all, people have no way to rise, the rich are richer, the exploitation is more cruel, the poor are poorer and hopeless, and the whole society has lost the momentum to move forward.
Yi Xuan found that his decision to recruit talents had never been so urgent, especially to let everyone re-enter a civilized society instead of this distorted society.
However, everything is difficult at the beginning, the secret service organization has not yet been established, and in order to keep it secret, I can only act temporarily on my own, believing that over time, I will be able to realize this idea.
When he first arrived here, he definitely needed to settle down to understand the situation first, Yi Xuan took the four wolf warriors to look for a while, and finally found a good-looking inn "Hunter Hotel" next to the building with beautiful neon lights.
