Chapter 23 The so-called safe zone
Originally, Ning Qiu's idea was to send Cheng Zhishan to the Jiangcheng Military Region.
Because of the establishment of a human security zone there, there is also a large number of troops, which can provide food and shelter.
If the conditions are good, Ning Qiu and the others feel that they can stay for a while, and then recover their strength.
If the conditions are too poor, they will choose to leave and find a place where there are fewer zombies to settle in.
But now, there are so many people in the team, and going to the Jiangcheng Military Region may not be the best choice.
The three of them stepped aside to discuss.
Jiang Ling said first: "If it is up to us to build a safe base, there will be no time to recover our strength, especially Ning Qiu, if his spiritual eye is not restored, we will not be able to go back." β
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense, Ning Qiu said: "Anyway, we still aim to go back, we can't stay too long in this time and space." β
Time and space, what a mysterious existence.
How can you believe that it really exists if you don't experience it firsthand?
And what kind of existence it is, no one knows.
After discussion, it was finally decided to go ahead with the original plan.
The two cars went all the way north towards Jiangcheng.
The armored car was driven by Jiang Ling and only sat on Ning Qiuhe for three days, while the others rode on a school bus.
At this time, Ning Qiu was feeding for three days.
Since Ning Qiu left, he hadn't eaten for three days.
It's also strange to say, three days with them were pulled by time and space to two hundred years ago, but why did they only remember Ning Qiu?
It's a very strange question, and I can't figure it out.
The 100-kilometre journey didn't take long, and it was there in the afternoon.
The government has issued an order to establish a human security zone centered on the Jiangcheng Military Region.
Since the military region could not accommodate too many people, and many survivors from the surrounding cities were coming to this place, the entire military region was already overcrowded.
It can be seen that all kinds of military tents are densely packed, and several military chariots patrol back and forth, not only to eliminate the zombies that appear around, but also to monitor the tent area to prevent various brawls.
It's not bad to sleep in a tent, Ning Qiu and the three of them used to often do tasks outside, and sometimes they didn't even have to sleep in the tent, so they could only sleep in the car.
Mainly, the tent area is poorly guarded, with only a fence of about five metres of barbed wire.
The crowd got out of the car and needed to undergo a medical examination before they could enter the so-called safe zone.
Jiang Ling stood beside Ning Qiu and whispered in his ear about what he had seen.
I saw him frown, and said: "The five-meter-high wire protective net, it's okay to block an ordinary zombie, in case of a giant corpse, all the people here will die." β
Pang Xiaobo nodded: "And with the increase of survivors, the area of the security zone will be expanded, and the army may not be able to take care of all places at that time." Also, the virus is evolving, and I'm afraid it won't be long before it spreads through the air. Maybe everyone here will turn into zombies. β
How to prevent zombies from establishing a safe zone, this is all learned in the Apocalypse Academy before. It belongs to the subject of survival in the last days, although it is all theoretical knowledge, but it is also basic common sense.
Obviously, the Jiangcheng Military Region did not do well at this time.
"I'm afraid that the human army has not yet realized the danger of zombies." Jiang Ling said.
"Yes, after all, there are no advanced zombies now, at least we have not seen them all the way here." Pang Xiaobo said.
Cheng Zhishan is a soldier, although she is an unqualified soldier, she subconsciously feels safe to stay with the army.
Sun Xintong walked over with the students, expressed his deep gratitude to Ning Qiu and the others, and then entered the military region.
"Brother Qiu, should we go in?" Xiao Xia walked over.
"Let's go in and have a look, we've already come anyway, so let's visit two hundred ...... Well, take a look at how the military built the security zone. Halfway through the words, Ning Qiu realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly changed his words.
In the mood of visiting history, I walked into the military region.
The physical examination is very simple, it is nothing more than taking the body temperature and checking whether there are any wounds on the body that have been bitten by zombies.
After entering the security zone, I received a magnetic card, which should be regarded as an ID card after entering the security zone.
This was followed by groups of three to receive a tent and some simple household items.
If you're alone and escaping into the safe zone, you'll have to find two more people to team up with.
Because the number of tents is also limited, it is impossible for the military to adopt a one-person-one-tent, or even two-person one-tent resource allocation.
There are exactly nine of them now, and they have been assigned three tents, and they have to find open space to set them up on their own.
After the tent was set up, I found that the space inside was too small, and with Ning Qiu's height of nearly one meter eight, he couldn't even stretch his feet straight.
Ning Qiu and Jiang Ling definitely had to sleep in a tent, don't ask why, it's a must.
And three days needed Ning Qiu to take care of, so the three of them lived in a tent.
Then there are sisters surnamed Song, and Xiaojun, the new love of Pang Xiaobo, lives together.
In the end, there was a tent between Pang Xiaobo and Xiao Xia.
Cheng Zhishan's words, she had already left after receiving the tent.
She is a soldier, and she was born in a military family, so Jiang Cheng naturally has people who know.
Before leaving, he also told Ning Qiu that if he could, he would try to help them get to live in the military area.
They still had a lot of food before, but because of the increase in the number of people along the way, they had already eaten it a long time ago.
Once the tent was set up, there was hardly anything to do.
Because the space inside the tent is so small, it is very cramped for three people to sleep, and it is difficult to turn over.
Especially with a figure like Pang Xiaobo, it is too difficult to sleep three people.
"It's kind of fun." Ning Qiu said with a smile.
This is the first time I have experienced this kind of life.
As far as the eye can see, there is a sea of people full of tents.
However, at this moment, more than a dozen men walked over, looking unrecognizable.
"Hello, you newcomers, this area is under the management of our Qinglong Gang, and if you want to set up a tent here, you have to pay a protection fee." The man who spoke was a man of about thirty years of age, not tall, but muscular.
"The Green Dragon Gang, the name of the good soil." Ning Qiu muttered.
Xiao Xia, as Ning Qiu's dog, stood up at this time, blocked in front of the man, and said, "What protection fee?" β
"The protection fee is food and water, and of course, if not, a woman can do it." The man looked at the sisters surnamed Song and Jiang Ling behind Xiao Xia, with a wicked smile on his face, and his saliva was about to flow out.
These three women are all beauties, especially Jiang Ling, who is definitely the best of the best.
The man had already figured out that whether they paid food and water or not, the three women were going to decide.
"This is a safe zone established by the military, you people dare to form any gang, and dare to collect protection money from survivors, aren't you afraid that I will report it?" Xiao Xia said.
This kind of talk inevitably seems naΓ―ve, in the final analysis, he still does not realize the living environment at this time.
At a glance, the number of tents in this tent area alone exceeds 10,000, and the military has so many manpower to deal with law and order issues.
Moreover, when a large number of people gather together, fights and brawls occur from time to time, and as long as no fatalities are caused, the military basically ignores them.
Even if there is a fatality, what can the military do?
Should the murderer be arrested, sent to the court, and put in a prison cell?
No kidding, it's the end times.
The military has a headache just dealing with zombies, how can they have so much time to stare at a group of refugees every day.
