Chapter 015: Freedom
Wang Rong didn't know that in addition to being genetically modified, his brain was also different from ordinary people. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Zhang Mingren signaled Wang Rong to hide, he walked to the door alone, opened it and saw that it was two garrisons.
One person showed his ID and said: "The order of the General Administration of the Metropolitan Government, because there are unknown people who have infiltrated the capital and have strong force, for the safety of everyone, the capital will enter a state of combat readiness from now on." Tomorrow, after Mr. Zhang goes to work in the research center, he will live in the research center temporarily. ”
Zhang Mingren knew that this was an order from the General Administration, and no one had the strength to resist, so he nodded. After sending off the soldiers, he returned to the study and looked at Wang Rong with a frown: "If you want to enter the state of combat readiness, then you two will have nowhere to hide." At that time, except for places that the General Administration of the capital deems absolutely safe, all places, including my house, will be searched inch by inch by the gendarmerie and the garrison. Until I catch you. ”
There was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, Su Qing hurriedly walked down, and said when she heard the words, "I have an idea." ”
"Say!"
Su Qing said: "These days, I have been imprisoned with those women, and we have chatted with each other and learned a lot of things. Do you remember the physical examination we had to undergo when we first came to Guardian IV. We are both healthy people who have passed a medical examination. However, there are many, many people, and their bodies have reached a very bad state. ”
"Some people have all kinds of cancers, some people have been infected with radiation, and some people have become severely disabled people while fighting mutants...... There are many more such people than healthy people. The Eastern Region is to divide the healthy people or replenish the garrison. These people, the Eastern Region also gave them food, but they just ignored it, set up an area in each city guard, and let them fend for themselves. Over time, some people would rather die than make a rice bucket in that small area. And they departed from the city guard. ”
"Of course, the city guards won't watch them enter the mutant beast area. Most of the people who left lived between the various city guards. There is no such powerful firepower and gendarmerie as the city guards, but the mutant beasts are blocked by the city guards, and there are very few mutant beasts in these intervals, and there are almost no extremely powerful mutant beasts. So, instead, they became their prey. ”
"You know, the risk of them living like this is still much higher than in the city guard. But they didn't want to wait for death in the small part of the city guard, for them, now that they knew that their life span was just a few days, it was better to die in the battle with the mutant beast. These areas they open up are called free zones. Freedom is exactly what they yearn for! ”
Zhang Mingren nodded, and said, "I've heard of this too." However, the capital and city guards didn't care about them at all. First, they have no firepower, and they are basically old, weak, sick and disabled. Second, they are human beings, and humans will never coexist peacefully with mutant beasts. Thirdly, their free zones were all around the perimeter of the city guards, and to a large extent, they were still under the jurisdiction of the garrison. If they make any moves, the garrison can easily kill them all. So, for a long time, everyone tacitly accepted the existence of free zones. ”
"And are there any healthy people in the free zone?" Wang Rong asked.
"Yes, there are people who come to the Eastern Region, and although their safety is guaranteed, they may not accept the way of life in the Eastern Region, so they secretly run to the free area and take risks."
In the entire Eastern Region, there is a capital and four city guards. These five cities are home to the vast majority of the region's healthy population. In the middle of the four city guards, there lived many old, weak, sick and disabled, almost all of whom did not live long. The Eastern Region will provide security for the capital and city guards, as well as accommodation and work for people in these five cities.
Once they left the five cities, they no longer had the protection of the gendarmes and garrisons, nor did they have the meals they had to serve on time every day, and they did not have a small room to shelter from the elements. They also have to face the mutant beasts that occasionally appear in the gaps in the Eastern Region, and the risk of survival is greatly increased. However, there is something else to be gained: freedom!
Those who can survive certainly want to live longer. For these people who know their future, it is better to live freely and splendidly than to survive.
"Escape to the Free Zone?" Wang Rong muttered, "Then how do we get in touch?" ”
Zhang Mingren smiled: "The free area is still in the Eastern Region, and it is not in the Western Region." The two of you go there first to avoid the limelight. Anyway, I want to investigate the old files in the research center, and I don't know when I will succeed. When you get to the free zone, Wang Rong, you need to improve your abilities, and when you can freely infiltrate the capital without alarming the gendarmerie, I should be able to find the answers you need here. ”
"I'll give you both critical illness certificates. It proves that both of you have a very serious infectious disease and need to be isolated and treated. Then I'll send you to the rice bucket area of the capital. When you get there, if you want to go, the gendarmes and garrisons will see you off with firecrackers. ”
Zhang Mingren opened the drawer, took out a few packs of cigarettes, and threw them into Wang Rong's arms: "The research center has this privilege, and cigarettes are already special offerings, but I am still qualified to divide a few pieces every month." That's all there is left, you take it first! ”
Wang Rong said solemnly: "Thank you! ”
"Thank you for not talking!" Zhang Mingren replied lazily, sat back in front of the computer, and began to write the critical illness certificate.
……
Zhangjia, rice bucket area...... Wang Rong and Su Qing, who were wearing heavy isolation suits, became mutant beasts in the eyes of those garrisons. They were eager to pinch their noses and talk to them, and when Wang Rong proposed that he wanted to leave the capital and enter the free zone, the soldiers of the garrison were full of laughter, and they really wanted to beat gongs and drums to see them off.
Taking off the heavy isolation suit, Wang Rong took a deep breath, this feeling was indeed very free, turned to look at the capital behind him, and recalled everything that had happened in the past few days, it was even more exciting than fighting mutant beasts alone on a lonely island back then. Eastern Region? Is it possible to uncover the secrets of his own background?
The two followed the direction Zhang Mingren said and walked forward quickly. Su Qing was surprised again, it seemed that Wang Rong was walking carelessly, but the speed was extremely fast, and she was almost trotting to catch up with Wang Rong's speed. It seems that Wang Rong didn't react at all, he was already walking like he was running.
"Slow down!" Su Qing took a few heavy breaths: "Don't you know that you are a monster?" Walking so fast, I'm exhausted! ”
Wang Rong suddenly said: "I really forgot to tell you." On that day, I received reinforcement at the research center, and after the reinforcement, all my basic abilities were greatly improved. At first, I couldn't control my strength and speed. It's much better now. Then I'll go slower and cooperate with you! ”
I don't know how long I walked, and if I walked any further, I might be going into the night.
There was a sound of footsteps ahead.
It was a group of men, young and old, and a few who seemed to have physical disabilities.
They saw Wang Rong and Su Qing from a distance, and the young man who took the lead whistled loudly: "Yo, it seems that we are going to add new people again." ”
His eyes fell on Su Qing, and he couldn't help but feel that he had to see this kind of girl to know what a natural stunner was-and it was a stunner among stunners, she completely belonged to the kind of woman who made men's eyes bloodshot at the first sight, and she couldn't wait for her eyeballs to come out and stick to her; When most people see her for the first time, they will ignore her appearance, because her figure is too hot and eye-catching. The deepest impression of this girl is that there is an amazing beauty between her eyebrows that surpasses her age, the faint willow eyebrows are clearly and carefully groomed, the long eyelashes flicker like two small brushes, and the pair of big eyes that are so bright that people feel dazzling that they are so beautiful that they palpitate, and they are unusually smart and energetic.
He originally wanted to whistle again, but he suddenly remembered that the people who came out basically didn't have long to live, and no matter how beautiful the girl in front of him was, after a while, she would be gone. The whistle didn't blow out.
Wang Rong took out a pack of cigarettes, took one in his mouth, and waved the cigarette case to the young man.
The crowd on the opposite side suddenly jumped for a while: "There is smoke, that kid's status is not low." Only the big names in the capital were able to supply cigarettes. It's a pity! ”
It's a pity, no one says it, but everyone knows what it means. There can be smoke, those are the most incredible characters in the Eastern Region, such characters have left the capital and come here with their bare hands, there is only one possibility, that is, they will not die soon.
The group happily divided the cigarettes.
The young man who took the lead handed the cigarette case to Wang Rong, but Wang Rong did not take it, and said lightly: "If there is any left, then I will give it to you." ”
Cigarettes are a luxury, and the young man was not polite, stuffed the cigarette case into his pocket, and said, "Luo Feiyu! ”
"Wang Rong, this is Su Qing!"
"Now that I'm out, I'll open my mouth. Two ...... How much longer? Luo Feiyu asked very chicly.
Wang Rong shook his head and said, "This is not accurate. ”
Luo Feiyu thought that the two of them had some rare sequelae of radiation, and how long they had left could only be left to fate, so he stopped asking, and instead said: "Brother, the place where we live is more than two miles to the south, go to us." Today everyone was lucky to hit two wolves. Although the wolf meat is a little sour, you can't eat it if you put some other ingredients. There were a lot of people there, and although we didn't have many days, we were very harmonious. ”
"There's nowhere for the two of us to go anyway, so let's go to you." Wang Rong smiled: "Besides, I'm a strong person, and I'm also a helper to help you hunt." ”
Su Qing secretly rolled her eyes, and said in her heart, Big brother, you killed those mutant beasts on the island alone, and you didn't dare to go out in a group. Are you a helper? It should be that this group of people is lucky, and they only need to watch with their eyes for the next hunt.
