North-South 19th Avenue is not far away, and it takes more than 20 minutes to reach Building 8. Wang Rong looked at the building curiously, and looked at at it at least fifty or sixty floors, towering into the sky. To be able to build such a safe zone in the barren world after the war, the power of the three major zones should not be underestimated.

Stepping into the door, there was silence inside, Gao Ziqiang explained: "Anyone who has the ability to work has gone out to work. You have to understand that the population is now very depleted, so many people in the region need food, clothing, shelter and transportation, except for those who are dying, everyone has to contribute. ”

Wang Rong, who has been struggling to survive on the island since he was a child, understands these words very thoroughly.

Gao Ziqiang's footsteps stopped at the door of 1066, took out the key from his waist and handed it to Wang Rong and the others, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and said: "You two will live here temporarily, there is still something to do in the defense area, I have to go back." I'll come and see you when I'm free. ”

After Su Qing thanked him, she sent Gao Ziqiang away.

The two walked into the room, and it was true that as Gao Ziqiang said, the room was very empty, with a few sleeping bags in the corner, and nothing could be found except for some daily necessities and epidemic prevention clothing.

Su Qing didn't care about the image of a lady at all, sat on the ground with her knees folded at will, and said softly: "Now that I'm in the fourth city guard, I have to think about how to enter the capital." ”

Wang Rong nodded: "In comparison, it is much easier for you to go to the capital." ”

Su Qing immediately reacted, that's right, since the city guards want to provide a steady stream of women to the capital to 'surrogate', then she, as a young and beautiful girl, will be selected 100%.

This point, even the management of the city guard and the officers of the defense area have no way to interfere. This project is under the direct responsibility of the Gendarmerie. I also heard Gao Ziqiang say just now that the gendarmerie gang can't rub sand in their eyes, and anyone who interferes will be ruthlessly suppressed by the gendarmerie.

"Then how do you get there, it's a big problem." Su Qing frowned, she was usually delicate and happy, this kind of melancholy appearance was even more charming.

Wang Rong did not reply, and professionals such as scientists or well-known doctors were eligible to enter the capital. He didn't think that he would become a professional by studying with Uncle Cheng on a desert island. Thanks to the availability of education, children were able to teach basic literacy and numeracy despite the fact that most people were displaced after the nuclear war.

The other way is to show extremely strong combat effectiveness, there are sixty gendarmes in the city guard, and if you defeat any of them, you will be eligible to be sent to the capital. However, Wang Rong did not want to take this path. The gendarmerie must be related to his background, maybe he can defeat the gendarmes, but those gendarmes with explosive combat effectiveness will never be defeated by ordinary people, and he will definitely be examined in detail by the Eastern Region at that time, once the 'QR code' behind his head is discovered, God knows what kind of chaos will be caused.

The two were silent, and the room was extremely silent, and it seemed extremely lonely.

A voice suddenly came from the loudspeaker on the lintel of the room: "Attention residents of Building 8, please come out to receive your meal when it's time for lunch." ”

A fair woman dressed in white came with a delicate dinner plate and opened the plate, which was filled with fragrant steak and pasta. She put down the plate, walked to the wine cabinet against the wall, looked at the various wine bottles inside, picked a bottle of Mouton red wine, opened the cork, and breathed first.

She bowed slightly, and said in a soft voice with apologies: "Chef is sick today, and the lunch is a little shabby, please don't mind Mr. Qiao." ”

Naturally, such wine and food are not for Wang Rong and other refugees. Opposite the fair lady sat an old man, who looked to be about sixty years old, and despite sitting, he still looked tall and energetic.

He said in a deep voice, "It doesn't matter, let's get out." ”

The woman walked out of the room and closed the door.

This is the core seat of the Eastern Region, the capital of the Eastern Region, and the heavily guarded capital administration.

Qiao Lianyu, 63 years old this year, is the real ruler of the Eastern Region. His resume is the standard 'someone else's child'. Qiao Lianyu, who has been diligent and studious since he was a child, was admitted to Harvard University on a full scholarship for his outstanding performance in international competitions in middle school. Qiao Lianyu, who was still a postdoctoral student at the age of 26, successfully won the Nobel Prize in Physiology that year. After the outbreak of nuclear war, Qiao Lianyu single-handedly created the East Region, one of the three major security zones.

It's just that because Qiao Lianyu is too low-key, the vast majority of people living in the Eastern Region don't know that he is the real master of the Eastern Region.

He picked up the red wine, took a shallow sip, stretched out his hand, and instead of taking a knife and fork, he activated the satellite conference button, and after verifying his fingerprints and pupils, the curtains in the room closed automatically, and suddenly there were two more people in front of the table.

If you look closely, you will find that these two people are just virtual light and shadow.

The three of them sat down around their desks as if they were in a meeting. Qiao Lianyu smiled: "Due to the time difference, the meeting of the three of us can only be booked at my lunch time. Good thing you didn't sleep. ”

The light and shadow on the left said slowly: "Holding a satellite conference, are you going to tell us that your research has produced results?" ”

The light and shadow on the right side appear to be refreshed.

Qiao Lianyu shook his head and said distressedly: "There is no progress. It seems that you have nothing to gain there. ”

The light and shadow on the right side said: "I can't help it, the soldiers under my command will enter a period of decay after the age of twenty-five or sixteen, their ability has regressed significantly, according to my prediction, our initial fighters will completely decline to the same combat effectiveness as ordinary soldiers when they reach the age of thirty-five." If this problem is not solved, it will be impossible for us to regain control of the planet back into human hands. ”

Qiao Lianyu also thought so, and there were less than 1,000 gendarmes under him. The question of the thousand people is exactly the same as what the man said. After a short peak, there will be a rapid decline. Without enough gendarmes, it is impossible for humanity to defeat mutated beasts outside the safe zone.

And the population has been greatly reduced, and now the three major districts together have only 100 million people. A large amount of arable land has been destroyed by nuclear war, and now the cultivation and breeding in the safe zone can only afford to support the population in the safe zone.

Increasing the population through childbearing means expanding the scope of the safe zone and transforming the land after the nuclear war. It was no less a difficult and bloody process, and it simply could not afford any failure.

Last year, the beast tide in the East Region had already shocked Qiao Lianyu, the garrison had used up all the heavy firepower, Qiao Lianyu had already made the worst plan, if he couldn't resist the beast tide, he would abandon the East Region, take all the gendarmes and researchers, and move to the other two safe areas. That means tens of millions of civilians will die in the beast tide.

Fortunately, the final result still resisted the beast tide.

He looked at the light and shadow on his left, and the man didn't say a word, and it was clear that the problem was the same as theirs.

"In terms of the development of weapons and equipment, it is impossible for us to replace them in a short period of time. Moreover, we cannot use weapons of mass destruction, because a nuclear war would have destroyed the ecological environment, and if we use biological and chemical weapons again, I am afraid that we will be destroyed by the earth before we take back the earth. ”

Qiao Lianyu continued: "The expansion of the population is also a problem, and it is impossible for people to exceed the reproduction speed of those mutant beasts. The longer the time drags on, the worse the situation becomes for us. Our research must make breakthroughs and rely on strong warriors to achieve victory. ”

The light and shadow on the left snorted coldly: "Old Joe, you are dreaming." All three of us know that the embryo survival rate is not even one percent. Even if you are born successfully, you must be divided into three, six, nine and so on. Perfect. body, which appears only once. ”

Hear perfectly. With these three words, Qiao Lianyu's face was a little ugly, he subconsciously raised his wine glass, took a big sip, and couldn't help coughing twice.

The light and shadow on the right side said disdainfully: "Among our group of people, the real power is Cheng Quan. You just climbed up with Cheng Quan's thighs back then. If Cheng Quan is still there, perfect. Body is not a problem, counting on you? I might as well count on myself. ”

Qiao Lianyu's face was blue, but he couldn't speak. Cheng Quan is his classmate and friend.

Cheng Quan, who was born in a military family, has also been smart since he was a child, not only good at studying, but also has many interests, he has participated in shooting clubs, can also fly, and is also good at fighting. When they were in college, they met at Harvard, and they happened to be in the same major. Cheng Quan gave Qiao Lianyu a lot of guidance in his study and research.

When Qiao Lianyu won the Nobel Prize for the first time, he won it with Cheng Quan. But he understands very well that 80% of the credit for winning the award will be attributed to Cheng Quan, and he is indeed a thigh-hugging person.

In their perfection. In terms of body research, Cheng Quan is the undoubted leader. Everyone was convinced of Cheng Quan, but what they didn't expect was that soon after, Cheng Quan would be perfect. The body is missing. The rest of the people, unable to find them, guessed that they had probably been killed by the mutant beasts.

But the rest of the people are all top-notch figures, and there is no master like Cheng Quan who can convince them all, so their research quickly divided into several directions. In the end, the three districts of today were formed.

The anger between the three of them gradually spread, and Qiao Lianyu coughed lightly and diverted the topic: "Don't mention it again after so many years." Over the years, the three of us have taken different routes and have not achieved a perfect result. Body. I think maybe we're going in the wrong direction. ”

Qiao Lianyu's words made the other two also fall into deep thought. Sometimes, perseverance is victory, but more often than not, if you take the wrong course, no matter how much you persist, there will be no decent results. Could it really be that all three of them are wrong?

"We don't have a lot of time and we have to race against the clock to win. I've decided to experiment with new methods. If you want to stick to the previous course, you are free. ”

The other two didn't answer, they were seriously considering Qiao Lianyu's proposal.

Qiao Lianyu pressed the call button on the table and ordered: "Inform all city guards that all healthy women of appropriate age who can give birth will be sent to the capital." Those who violate the order will be killed. ”

On the other end of the intercom, a cold voice came: "Obey!" ”

The computers in each hospital quickly sorted out the list of healthy women of appropriate age and immediately transmitted it to the city guard garrison.

In addition to the garrison troops on duty, the remaining garrison troops immediately split up and entered the units and residences according to the list, looking for these healthy women of appropriate age.

Nineteen streets are crisscrossed, and on each street stands a gendarme.

It would be a mistake to think that the gendarmes are heavily armed and well-armed. The gendarmes wore black gendarmerie uniforms, berets and black boots. They had an automatic pistol with 32 rounds pinned to their waists, and they couldn't find any weapons other than that.

Compared to the garrisons armed with assault rifles and grenades, they were like paupers.

But when the garrison saw these gendarmes, they all showed awe. These gendarmes are all in their early twenties, and their combat effectiveness is not trivial, and they have also seen with their own eyes the unique skills of these gendarmes in last year's beast tide.

More than a dozen gendarmes slaughtered hundreds of wolves. That battle was like chopping melons and vegetables, if they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they couldn't believe that those ferocious mutant wolves, like chickens and ducks in the farm, were slaughtered with understatement.
