Chapter 39: The Survivor Landscape

Zhang Youhai is a businessman, and on May 18, 2022, he invited a few customers to eat at the Qimenxiang Restaurant in the south of the city, and suddenly a meteor shower fell in the sky.

He and the chaotic crowd ran out to watch the meteor shower, when the street radio went off, urging citizens to hide in their homes and not go out. Immediately after the storm blew, the billboards and cars on the street were blown up, and Zhang Youhai and the chaotic crowd hid in the Qimenxiang Hotel.

It took four or five days, and the storm did not stop, and a large amount of rubble mixed with garbage knocked down the buildings.

Seeing that something was wrong, someone took the lead, so they dug a tunnel and dug through the Youhui supermarket next door.

Relying on the stock of food in supermarkets and restaurants, he took refuge in the underground tunnel for a month.

There were starvations, sickness, and even deaths of many people around.

When the storm stopped, Zhang Youhai, who was dizzy from hunger, walked out of the tunnel and found that the entire city was in ruins. The familiar nesting area was destroyed in the storm.

He and a handful of survivors began rummaging through the streets for everything they could find to eat.

And, he soon met other survivors, including mutants and orcs, and learned that while the cataclysm brought destruction, it also brought about evolution. Mutants are evolved humans, some with fangs, some with tails, and some with longer nails. Half-orcs are similar, except that half-orcs are not in their normal minds, will attack survivors, and eat flesh and blood raw.

At the same time, they also meet Iron Man.

The only iron man Zhang Youhai has ever seen is a former car mechanic who drives a Humvee and takes the initiative to drive out orcs on the streets.

The survivors who were rescued by him elected him as the boss and occupied the south of the city in the Juchao District. Zhang Youhai is also one of the survivors, and his daily work is to rummage through the ruins to find useful things and hand them over to this iron man, Wang Gen. Wang Gen was specifically responsible for maintaining order in the south of the city.

Expel the orcs and hunt down the evolutionary beasts that occasionally sneak in from the countryside - animals that have evolved just like mutants and orcs.

Such a life is a little harder, at least my life is saved.

But it wasn't long before a torrential rain arrived, flooding the entire southern part of the city, killing many survivors and causing a food crisis. Wang Gen, who was originally amiable, began to impose a high protection tax on the survivors, forcing the survivors to hunt the ferocious evolutionary fish that swam from Chaohu Lake.

After the rainstorm ended, the flood receded, and soon another group of people came to the south of the city - the dragon slayer group from the main city on the other side of the Yuxi River, as for why it was called this name, it is said that they had seen the dragon and were determined to slay the dragon.

There are three mutants in this squad, and the boss is called Zhang Tianshen, and he is very strong. I fought a few games with Wang Gen and his gang, but in the end I couldn't beat Wang Gen and was driven out of the south of the city. Zhang Tianshen, who was unwilling, led people to entrench in the southern suburbs of the city and began to collect the so-called scavenging tax.

Zhang Youhai inquired, Zhang Tianshen's gang killed people in the nesting area, and strong. The traitor did all the bad things before he was driven out by the fire brigade that maintained order in the nest area.

Immediately after, another mutant team also came, called the Dark Division. The leader is probably an otaku who has been poisoned by the sun, and he is the self-proclaimed leader of the dark army, his real name is unknown, and his subordinates call him "captain". said that he wanted to avenge his dead brother and eliminate the dragon slayer group, and he has been entangled with the dragon slayer group for the past few days.

……

"There is less and less food in the south of the city, and Brother Wang Gen is urging him to pay the protection tax every day, so we will come out to pick up the waste, and after paying the scavenging tax to Zhang Tianshen, he will not embarrass us." Zhang Youhai leaned against the wall of the carriage and told all the information he knew.

Shen Cong stood aside, quickly digested and absorbed this information, and then asked, "What is the origin of the fire brigade in Juchao District?" ”

"I don't know, across the river, someone guards the bridge and doesn't let us cross the bridge, we don't have much contact with the main city, we only know that it seems to be a regular army appointed by Hefei."

"How much do you know about the news from Hefei?"

"I've heard others say that there is the provincial military district station, and the army has been retained. Before the rainstorm, the provincial military district sent someone to the nest area, took away most of the mutants and iron men in the nest area, and appointed a fire brigade to be responsible for the security of the nest area before leaving, and after the rainstorm, there was no contact. ”

Shen Cong asked again: "Haven't you thought about contacting the outside world?" ”

"This should be the matter of Brother Wang Gen and Zhang Tianshen, we can't even eat, and we don't have the ability to worry about it." Zhang Youhai said with a wry smile.

After speaking, he sighed in a very complicated tone: "It's the end of the world, if you are not an evolutionary, you will live like a dog...... Not even a dog. ”

Shen Cong ignored his complaints, but silently sketched out the form of the nesting area in his mind.

Juchao District is bounded by Yuxi River and is divided into two parts: the main urban area and the southern part of the city.

The fire brigade appointed by the provincial military district is responsible for the security of the main city, and the south of the city is basically Wang Gen's territory, and there are two groups of mutants "Dragon Slayer" and "Dark Department" wandering outside. Most of the survivors relied on scavenging to make a living, and paid protection taxes and scavenging taxes to these forces to obtain shelter.

At the same time, I also knew the staffing of the three forces in the south of the city.

Wang Gen is an iron man, and there is an accountant under him, Tao Daqian, who is a mutant, and a big man who is also a mutant, and the others are ordinary people. There were two submachine guns and a few pistols, a number of crossbow arrows, and a few bone gold weapons.

"What is a bone gold weapon?" Shen Cong asked suspiciously.

Zhang Youhai replied: "It's a weapon made of the bone gold of the Evolution Beast...... Bone gold is the metal that the bones of the evolution beast turn into, big brother, I saw your helmet before, there is bone gold...... Is Big Brother an Evolutionary? ”

Bone gold, the active core.

Shen Cong immediately understood that this was the same thing, but they called each other differently. Compared with bone gold, Shen Cong felt that it was more comfortable to have an active core. Of course, this is not the point, the point is that the survivors have mastered the ability of the active core and built the active core into a bone gold weapon.

It may not be as good as modern thermal weapons created by the active core, but it is undeniable that in some ways, bone gold weapons are more powerful than thermal weapons.

……

Wang Gen is the biggest force in the south of the city, and under him are the Dragon Slayer Group and the Shadow Department.

Zhang Tianshen, the captain of the dragon slaying team, is a mutant, the second Wu Wenjun is a mutant, and the third Wang Dong is also a mutant.

"The name Zhang Tianshen is a bit arrogant." Shen Cong came up with a comment for a while.

Zhang Youhai nodded approvingly and said, "This is a nickname, no one knows his real name." ”

In TV series, people with such names or nicknames basically belong to the role of a dragon and can't survive an episode.

Of course, the dark army leader of Konoha Village may not be much worse than Zhang Tianshen's name. However, according to Zhang Youhai, this dark army commander who has been poisoned by the sun has strong combat effectiveness, and he is the only mutant in the dark department, but he can constantly trouble the dragon slaying group, which is obviously not an abandoned house.

"Is it the evolution brought about by the activity that releases the desire in the heart, so that you can call yourself a god and make yourself the commander of the dark army?" Shen Cong couldn't deny this, almost all of his journeys were trembling and didn't dare to relax.

In his attitude towards the end times, this may be because he is different from other evolutionaries.

"Big brother, I've said everything I should have said, can you let me go, I haven't picked up enough to pay taxes today." Seeing Shen Cong silent, Zhang Youhai couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Yes."

Shen Cong got the information he wanted, and there was no need to keep him: "I will let you go, and I will give you a little material when I go back, which is considered the cost of trading information." I'll send you to the street later, not far from your teammates, you stand still, count dozens of numbers, and you shout for help. ”

So.

Ten minutes later.

The scavenger team, which was scavenging for Zhang Youhai while scavenging, heard Zhang Youhai's cry for help.

Under the leadership of Old Man Li, six people ran over to untie Zhang Youhai and tore off the blindfold. Old man Li glared at Zhang Youhai very dissatisfied: "Xiao Zhang, what did you do, what happened, who tied you up, did you meet other scavenging teams?" We've been looking for you for an hour! Hey, this one you're carrying is ...... Evolved Beast's Meat? ”

"Shhhh Zhang Youhai pulled Old Man Li and said.

Old man Li also had a premonition, so he silenced the team at the moment, and several people subconsciously covered the burden on Zhang Youhai's back. Evading other scavenger teams along the way, he returned to the dilapidated tent on the north side of the town.

Old man Li and the others immediately greeted each other with a gossip: "Xiao Zhang, tell me quickly, what's going on?" ”

Zhang Youhai patted the dust on his cuffs for a long time, and grinned proudly: "Everyone, I met a noble person today!" As he spoke, he slowly spread out the burden in his arms.

Suddenly, a large piece of meat steak and a small packet of medicine appeared in front of everyone.

"Such a big piece of meat, it hasn't spoiled yet!" A female team member suddenly shouted, and then remembered something again, and hurriedly covered her mouth.

Old man Li didn't look at the steak, but stared at the medicine: "Amoxicillin, cephalosporin, dexamethasone, berberine...... This, this, these medicines, they are all life-saving medicines! ”
