Chapter 59: Human Settlements
"This is my companion Marty, this is Martin, this is Evans." David introduced his companions.
Marty is a white female surname, and her appearance does not conform to Gao Heng's aesthetics. Martin, on the other hand, was a sturdy black man who couldn't see his face clearly in the night, and could only be identified by the clothes on his body, oh, what a sad story.
As for Evans, he was a blonde young white guy who looked a bit shy and introverted.
"Her wound is inflamed...... Looking at the long pus-stained wound on the shoulder of the burly female man in front of him, Gao Heng couldn't help but admire her stoicism, and she could not snort.
"It's all my fault, I should have ended up sooner when I ran out of wound medicine...... David bowed his head reproachfully. He was a large, muscular white man nearly two meters tall, carrying a long steel fork and an old rifle at his waist.
"Captain, it's none of your business, this is what we ourselves agree with." The female man, Marty, comforted in a hoarse voice.
Gao Heng put his hand into the mountaineering package as if he was rummaging, and quietly took out a erythromycin ointment from the watch space.
"It's ......," David took curiously.
"Erythromycin ointment." Gao Heng introduced the usage, and David applied the ointment to Marty's wound with trembling hands, and his voice trembled with excitement: "This...... Is this an antibiotic or a kind of medicine, high, you are too generous! ”
Looking at the several big men in the room who were so excited that their bodies trembled, Gao Heng's face was full of doubts, as for this, it was as if he had never seen an antibiotic in his life, especially David, the tower-like strong man was holding erythromycin ointment as if he was holding a rare treasure.
In Gao Heng's watch space, there are more than a dozen, and there are a lot of penicillins, Yunnan Baiyao, etc.
Seeing David carefully hand back the erythromycin ointment, Gao Heng waved his hand indifferently: "No need, I'll give it to you, Marty's wound will have to be applied at least a few more times to recover." ”
"This, this, high, too precious......" David almost felt incoherent.
Evans couldn't help but ask, "Gao, are you a nobleman who came out to hunt from Raison City in the north?" ”
"Huh?" Gao Heng didn't take the opportunity to recognize this identity, after all, he didn't know anything about the situation in Rayson City, and if he didn't know anything when the time came, it would only make people suspicious.
"You may be mistaken, I'm not a nobleman, and I've never been to Rayson City."
"Oh, so you're the Consortium Successor to Darwin City in the West?" Martin opened his mouth exaggeratedly, "You know, antibiotics are the most scarce supplies, such an erythromycin ointment, I guess it can be exchanged for at least five hundred rounds of ammunition in the black market!" ”
"Darwin?" Gao Heng, the place name that these people said, had never heard of it, and his eyes were still dark, and he didn't know which continent he was in the United States. And these people attach so much importance to an erythromycin ointment, Gao Heng has a bad premonition, should the human civilization in this world have regressed to the point where it can't even produce antibiotics, or the production is very small?
At this time, Chen Ru finally walked out of the tent, but her legs were a little painful while walking, so her steps were not very comfortable.
"Hey, your girlfriend?" David smiled ambiguously, and then took down a lot of prey from the horse, among which was an American leopard that had just been hunted.
"Gao, you saved Sister Martie, we invite you to a barbecue." The improvised traps that Gao Heng had made at the door to guard against wild beasts were all made of wood and branches, and at this time they were dismantled by Evans and turned into a bonfire.
Martin, a black man, skillfully removed the two front legs of the American leopard with a knife, cut them into several pieces, skewered them with iron skewers, and began to grill them.
"Do you need sesame oil, peppercorn powder, honey?" Gao Heng took out all kinds of bottles and cans of seasoning from the mountaineering bag, which made David and the others stunned again, this looks like hunting, it is clearly the aristocratic style of coming out to camp and fight in the field to experience life. Chen Ru's combat effectiveness directly made these hunters who were accustomed to life and death ignore it, but for Gao Heng, they had an intuition that the young Chinese man in front of them was very dangerous.
"Thanks, I only have cumin powder." Evans is a veteran barbecuer, and he has obviously practiced a lot before.
"Can you tell me about Darwin and Rayson?" Because he is not familiar with these strangers and does not know the details, Gao Heng seems to be casual on the surface, but he has been secretly vigilant in his heart.
"Gao, you don't know?" David looked over in surprise.
"Oh, I used to stay in my own settlement, which is mostly Chinese, because the location is too remote and I rarely communicate with the outside world." Gao Heng lied without blinking, "This time I went out hunting with my companions, but I ran into a group of Allosaurus, and everyone lost contact. ”
"Oh, that's so unfortunate, I curse those dinosaurs who deserve hell." After applying erythromycin ointment, Marty's complexion was noticeably better than before. I have to say that this female man's physical fitness is indeed very strong.
"May God bless your companions for their escape." David comforted Gao Heng with a sympathetic expression, he was obviously a devout believer in God.
For Gao Heng's statement, David and the others were not too surprised, after the destruction of the old world, the lucky remnants of human beings were scattered into countless large and small settlements, because dinosaurs and tribal natives were rampant, and communication between humans was very difficult. No one knows how many unknown human settlements are hidden in this primeval forest.
"Darwin is probably the largest settlement in the vicinity. It used to be the production base of a large company, but after the disaster day, it was controlled by a few fleeing consortia and expanded to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. But those conglomerates are vampires, and my father told me that before the catastrophe, these filthy capitalists were influencing politics and exploiting civilians behind the scenes. After the disaster, they took advantage of the collapse of the government to deceive the trust of the people, and in the name of forming a committee, they stole the power of the city of Darwin and continued to exploit the civilians. ”
When David talked about Darwin City, he looked unhappy, and he didn't know if he had been exploited by black-hearted capitalists, so he was full of resentment.
"Those profiteers should go to hell and buy our prey at a low price, and then sell us bullets, guns and knives at a high price." Black Martin gritted his teeth.
"As for the city of Rayson, it was founded by the army led by the old governor, and it is an admirable elder. Unfortunately, after the death of the old governor, his son quickly became corrupt and degenerate, and even regarded the city of Rayson as a private domain, and set up a senate, imitating the aristocracy of the ancient Roman Empire. ”
"If it weren't for the opposition of many people in the army, that guy would even plan to proclaim himself Augustus." Evans looked disgusted when he brought it up.
Augustus, the title of the most honored emperor of the ancient Roman Empire, has religious and theological connotations.
Although after the fall of the Roman Empire, many European nobles often used Augustus as a male name, but if it is used as a title, it is obviously intended to be crowned emperor, which is crazy.
The United States, which claims to be free for the people, will regress to such an extent?
