Chapter 18: Their Story

Two hundred days rations?

Wang Qiang remembered Duncan's words, this lord named Qiao Shiguan is a guy who wants to eat people.

"You take your child for food rations, and then your child is eaten? Is that so? Are you fucking human? Wang Qiang made a pre-attack.

The man said with tears in his eyes: "Don't beat me, I don't want to sell my child, but what can I do, we can't support him if I keep him, and we have to live!" ”

Wang Qiang raised his hand and wanted to kill the man in front of him, but he looked at the baby in the package who had not yet opened his eyes, and thought that if he killed the child, he would have no father, and when he heard the man's words again, Tie Shi's heart suddenly softened.

"This time I spared you, the tiger poison does not eat children, you don't want to be inferior to a beast."

Wang Qiang warned.

The man nodded repeatedly.

Wang Qiang was about to teach a few more words, but at this time, Peng Shen's voice also broke out: "Why am I blind enough to entrust my daughter to someone like you?" I'm blind! ”

Peng Shen's wails spread throughout the settlement.

Wang Qiang knew that the child in the belly of Old Man Peng's daughter was probably also used to exchange for rations, but many people here rely on this to make a living, and women are useless, so they simply use it to give birth to children and sell them for rations.

There is a cannibal lord in the settlement, and the magnates here have developed a habit of eating human flesh.

Turning into Zhang Wei's small courtyard, I saw Peng Shen punching Zhang Wei again and again, but the old man Peng was old and weak, such a way of playing, he was tired and couldn't see Zhang Wei like this.

"Get out of the way, I'll help you smoke him to death." Wang Qiang was on fire, and his hands were itching.

Mu Erkang and Li Qin went up together and grabbed Wang Qiang.

"Brother Qiang, don't be impulsive!"

There was a commotion, and the pregnant woman in the house woke up.

"Ah Wei, who's outside, it's so noisy, is it a debt collector? Don't let them in,......" the woman screamed in terror.

Wang Qiang withdrew his fist and asked, "What kind of debt collector?" ”

Debt collectors?

Peng Shen thugs like thunder: "Stinky boy, your gambling habits still haven't changed?" ”

Saying that, the old man didn't have the heart to control the loser's son-in-law anymore, but rushed into the house to see his awakened daughter.

At this time, there was a touching reunion in the house.

"Daughter, it's me!" Peng Shen was in tears, and his snot was stained with his beard.

The pregnant woman lying on the bed and moaning was scratching around with her empty hands: "Dad, is it you?" Father? ”

Wang Qiang found that the pregnant woman's hands and face were not facing Peng Shen, but dancing in the air blankly.

This girl is blind, Wang Qiang keenly judged.

"Yuanyuan, my daughter, what's wrong with your eyes?" After the initial stunned, Peng Shen also noticed the abnormality of the pregnant woman, and tears couldn't help but discharge floods like sluice embankments.

"Dad, I've been waiting for you for years, why did you come! Dad ...... "Pregnant women also cry very sadly.

Watching the father and daughter hug each other, Brother Qiang was moved for a while, and there was a little loss in the touch.

I don't have a father in my memory after I was born, what is my father like? I once thought that my father would be like Daddy Hu, but Daddy Hu never cried, and then I thought that Daddy was a character like Nian Maniac, but unfortunately Nian Maniac never laughed.

People are always like this, everyone, no matter how ordinary, has something to envy or envy.

Wang Qiang thought about it, and felt that although he was deceived by Peng Shen, it was still worth it to fulfill this meeting after many years, so he had a little more understanding of Peng Shen in his heart.

In the room, Peng Shen and Peng Yuanyuan cried for a while, and finally calmed down and told each other what happened to them.

……

It turned out that twenty-seven years ago, when the end of the world broke out, Peng Shen was in charge of research work in the field with the North Industrial Bureau, while Peng Shen's wife Li Qiuxia and daughter lived in Kyoto City.

During the investigation project, a large-scale epidemic broke out suddenly, and Peng Shen resolutely returned to Kyoto City on the department's special plane to find the mother and daughter. At that time, the city of Kyoto was extremely chaotic, with zombies chasing the living in the city, traffic jammed with rampaging cars, and the city was already in chaos.

The search was fruitless, Peng Shen was in danger several times and was almost eaten by zombies.

The city of Kyoto quickly became a state of combat readiness, with military troops rushing to the city's aid, armed police and soldiers carrying powerful thermal weapons into the city in an attempt to control the situation. At this time, Peng Shen was forcibly placed in a temporary concentration camp for survivors by the troops.

In the concentration camp, God took mercy on him, and Peng Shen actually met his wife and daughter!

However, the reunion was only the beginning of the disaster, and a large-scale epidemic broke out in the concentration camp that night, and a large number of virus carriers mutated into zombies, biting people in the concentration camp, causing huge casualties.

Living people who were bitten or bitten to death soon turned into zombies and continued to attack other survivors.

In an instant, the government-controlled concentration camp collapsed, and not only that, but the horde of zombies stormed the army lines, and the army, all the attention focused on the city, was unprepared and attacked by the zombie horde, leading to the destruction of the violent institutions.

The city is completely in chaos, and the army is completely finished!

Lucky to escape, Peng Shen's family of three fled for their lives to the remote mountainous areas in the east, taking advantage of the chaos to escape from Kyoto City and to the outskirts of the suburbs.

However, the situation in the outer cities near Kyoto is still chaotic, and zombies are everywhere, but fortunately, people know how to resist, and Peng Shen joins a small evacuation party that has armed itself and continues to march towards the eastern sea.

The evacuation team followed the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway to the Beijing-Tianjin Expressway and then to the east and then to the Binbao Expressway, and finally arrived at a place called Haiyanzi Village on the shore of the Bohai Sea.

After a lot of hardships, Peng Shen's family joined the large settlement of Haiyanzi Village and lived for many years.

I thought that my life would be completely stabilized, but after the zombie tide hit, the Haiyanzi Village-type settlement was unable to resist effectively, and the zombies broke through the defense line of the settlement.

A large number of zombies rushed into the settlement and wreaked havoc, and Peng Shen's family jumped into the sea to survive.

After escaping from the sea, Peng Shen's family of three was captured by a passing human privateer team.

The privateers were the most vicious of the people, who were smugglers and trafficked some of the inhabitants and vagrants of the settlements to other settlements in need of labor, in order to make a profit.

During that period, with the help of the highly developed underground water channels in the Kyoto area, large and small underground settlements had sprung up.

The privateers raped Yuanyuan on the road and sold Peng Shen's family to a settlement called Dabaizhuang.

In the settlement of Dabaizhuang, Peng Shen met his former student Zhang Wei!

The Zhang family has some power in Dabaizhuang, and there should be a friendship between teachers and students, Zhang Wei's father came forward to buy Peng Shen's family and arranged the life of Peng Shen's family.

So Peng Shen stayed in Dabaizhuang again.

Dabaizhuang Settlement, which is located in the north of Tianjin, north of Niujiapai Town, Zhouliang Street and Lizigu Farm, southeast of Datangzhuang Town, east of Chaobai Xinhe and Huangzhuang Town, southwest of the settlement adjacent to Erwangzhuang Reservoir, oblique to the Jingji Expressway, the geographical location is excellent, plus the settlement has a part of the army to escape the soldiers joined, so it can still persist after the end of the world.

In Dabaizhuang, Zhang Wei and Peng Yuanyuan got married and started a family, and the Peng family was able to become relatives with the Zhang family of the Dabaizhuang family, and they never had the basic basis of life.

But the good times did not last long, and a human armed team traveling south along the Jingji Expressway attacked Dabaizhuang, and used explosives to blow up the defensive walls of Dabaizhuang, and then carried out a brutal rape and robbery of Dabaizhuang.

Peng Shen's family and Zhang Wei happened to be not in the settlement that day and escaped, but the Zhang family was completely ruined.

There was no way, Peng Shen and the four of them began to die again.

They didn't dare to go south, because the killing terrorists were going south, and the four of them could only go northeast along the vast land, praying that they could go to the sea.

The sea represents food and the islands represent safety.

The four of them walked along the Jingji Expressway for two days, met several survivors who were looking for supplies in the wild, and learned that a settlement called Sanhe was nearby, so the family came to the Sanhe settlement.

At that time, the Sanhe settlement was still the Sanhe settlement 20 years ago, the folk customs were relatively simple, and the people still had great moral constraints and human nature, which was far stronger than now, and Peng Shen's family of four joined the Sanhe settlement.

At this time, the end of the world has entered the tenth year, Zhang Wei and Peng Yuanyuan already have an eight-year-old son, as the most precious son in the family, the child belongs to the first generation after the disaster, and he is full of tragedy.

It is always difficult for children to survive in the face of the last days, the birth rate begins to decline, the survival rate is even lower, and Peng Shen's precious grandson is knocked down by a cold illness.

At that time, the medical supplies in the Three Rivers settlement had been used up, the hospitals in the nearby towns had been looted by survivors, and the zombies of the large cities were entrenched, and no one dared to go there.

Fortunately, many settlements in the Kyoto Settlement had already established contact with the Mikawa Settlement at that time, and with a glimmer of hope, Peng Shen followed the trade team on the road to the Kyoto Settlement in Kyoto.

It was on this journey that the trading team was sacked by another group of people, and this group of raiders was the people of the Hebei settlement!

Peng Shen was caught in Hebei Settlement like this!

At that time, the Hebei settlement was not established for a long time, and talents were needed in all aspects, and the population was very important whether a settlement was strong or not.

Peng Shen, who was plundered to the Hebei settlement, lived an inhuman life for several years, and Peng Shen wanted to die several times. But when he thought about his wife and daughter and his family, Peng Shen gritted his teeth and survived.

Later, the Hebei settlement became infighting and split into several districts, sometimes three, sometimes five, or more.

The struggle for power is extremely cruel, and every lord of the settlement in the lower field will not end well, but those who come to power still have to do something in line with the will of the people for their own rule to capture the hearts of the cheap people.

This is how Peng Shen's slavery was pardoned.

But that was the sixteenth year of the last days.

After being released, Peng Shen wanted to return to the Sanhe settlement, and he did it several times with practical actions, but all of them failed.

Because he is not familiar with the road, in more than ten years, the outside world has changed so much that Peng Shen can't adapt to it at all.

had no choice but to settle down in the Hebei settlement, and with the skill of maintenance, Peng Shen could barely eat a full meal.

But Peng Shen still didn't give up, as long as there was a trade team from other settlements coming to Hebei settlements, Peng Shen would always try his best to get closer, which is why Blind Lao and Zhao Kun would know Peng Shen.

Old man Peng inquired about the news of the Sanhe settlement, and among these traders, there were always people who had been to the Sanhe settlement, and from their mouths, Peng Shen knew a lot of news about the Sanhe settlement.

Finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and by an accidental accident, Peng Shen learned the whereabouts of his son-in-law Zhang Wei, which let Peng Shen know that at least there was still a trace of thought and hope in his heart.

Peng Shen's story, and then Wang Qiang knew about it, and he was trapped in the Hebei settlement for ten years, Peng Shen was imprisoned again, and as a result, he met himself who went crazy and looked for someone to repair the phase mobile device, so he had this trip to the Sanhe settlement.

Peng Shen said very briefly, but the language was very clear, and there were very few logical deviations, which showed that Old Man Peng's thinking was clear, and he was stupid and stupid along the way, and he rarely pretended to protect himself.

After listening to Peng Shen's words, Peng Yuanyuan continued.

Probably not long after Peng Shen followed the trade team to the Kyoto settlement to look for medicine, Li Qiuxia and Peng Yuanyuan learned of the news of the trade team's disappearance and death.

When she was grief-stricken, Peng Yuanyuan's son, who had been seriously ill, also passed away suddenly, and the family was hit hard again.

Li Qiuxia, Peng Yuanyuan and Zhang Wei, the only remaining family of three depend on each other, the Sanhe settlement is in a period of rapid development, although many jobs are cheap but need people, the three of them work hard but can also support themselves.

However, as the years went on, the climate in the north changed dramatically, the food source became more and more difficult, life began to become more and more difficult, and the materials in the settlements also became insufficient.

The Three Rivers Settlement is starting to starve to death!

As the temperature changes, the possibility of obtaining the means of subsistence in the outside world is getting lower and lower, and each time the exploration team goes out, the harvest is less and less, but the casualties are increasing.

Later, there was a rebellion in the settlement, and the original leadership was killed on the spot by the existing leadership, and Qiao Shiguan entered the Sanhe settlement strongly!

The first thing this person did after coming to power was to gather all the people who had reached the age of 60 in the settlement, and then escort them to the suburbs and feed them all to the zombies!

No matter who you are, no matter what illustrious family background you had in the old times, no matter what kind of work you do, no matter what contribution you made to society during the old republic, as long as you are over sixty years old, you will be banished to the wilderness!

This is the famous population reduction event of the Three Rivers settlement!

With the implementation of the population reduction plan, the Sanhe settlement did not die out because of this, and the surplus living materials were allocated by Qiao Shiguan to his men who had meritorious combat skills, which instead attracted more ruthless characters who survived in the wilderness, and those outlaws and evil guys got together to make the Sanhe settlement aggressive.

Later, the Mikawa settlement joined the war with the Kyoto settlement, plundering the goods and wealth of the Kyoto settlement, and has remained until now.

……

After their mother was banished, Peng Yuanyuan and Zhang Wei depended on each other.

But after a short time, Zhang Wei became addicted to gambling, and lost his last savings and belongings, and owed a lot of money.

Peng Yuanyuan had no choice but to devote herself to the long labor of repaying her debts, but fortunately, she was already old and decrepit, and finally she no longer had to be coveted by others, and she had escaped more flesh and skin suffering.

But there are more and more unexpected things, and as the development continues, a terrifying thing spreads among the settlements: Lord Qiao Shiguan and a large number of extremely vicious people under his command actually began to eat people!

Over time, the settlements gave rise to a new tradeβ€”the human trade.

In order to meet the needs of the market and satisfy the appetites of some people, the Three Rivers Settlement went out to capture living people, whether in the wilderness or other settlements, as long as they were caught, they could not escape slavery or cooking.

Later, these cannibalistic guys became more and more tasteful, and another kind of business was gradually born in the settlement, that is, baby care!

The taste of babies is naturally much better than that of adults, the skin and flesh are tender, and it also has the effect of nourishing qi and blood, which is a rare delicacy.

In order to have more babies, the settlements began to think about the women of the working age in the settlements.

As long as the woman participates in childbirth, the whole family receives food subsidies, and the woman also receives regular analgesics, psychedelics and hormonal drugs. And after giving birth to a child, the whole family can still get 200 days of food rations.

For women up to eight months of pregnancy, saline water is used to induce birth, the baby can be frozen and refrigerated, and the placenta can be sold at a good price. Placenta eaten freshly is delicious and delicious, and is one of the favorite foods of the upper echelons of the settlement.

In the Three Rivers settlement, babies are the most sought-after food, and placenta is also good.

It is said that the function of infants to replenish qi and stop bleeding is extraordinary, and the high-level people in the settlement have been pardoned by the lord, and the old men with heavy soldiers have eaten the baby's tonic, and they can indulge in fun every night.

At this time, the child Peng Yuanyuan was pregnant with in her belly had been booked in advance by the settlement......

……

"! Fuck it! Where is Qiao Shiguan, I'll go find him! Wang Qiang roared angrily and punched the wall, directly destroying a simple house.

At this time, under the leadership of the man who had prevented Wang Qiang from selling his child, a team of guards from the settlement with loaded guns and ammunition were coming.

"It's him, he won't let me send it to the lord!" The man was explaining.

Wang Qiang looked up, but saw the captain of the guard who was the leader punching the man in the face.

"Shut up Lao Tzu, useless waste."

Then, with a wave of his hand, the captain of the guard ordered: "Take down the troublemakers for me." ”

With the captain's order, the soldiers raised the barrels of their guns one after another and aimed at Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang sneered, but he didn't see any movement, and was actually taken away by the soldiers with their hands tied behind their backs.

"Brother Qiang!" Mulkan rushed out with a gun.

Others were also surprised!

Brother Qiang's strength is undoubted, why would he be caught?

"You're waiting for me here, do you know?"

After Wang Qiang finished speaking, he was escorted away by the soldiers.
