Chapter 51: The Black Market
Now that you've decided what you're going to do, there's certainly no time to delay. Meng Hao and others were in charge of the affairs of the base at the foot of the mountain, while Han Feng concentrated on studying the brainwaves, trying to use the brainwaves to find more mutants.
There is a science fiction movie called X-Men, in which Magneto once used a device to find all the mutants in this world. The instrument used by Magneto is also the instrument that enhances brain waves. It was very similar to what Han Feng was going to do now, except that Han Feng didn't have an instrument to help him enhance his brain waves, let alone how to use brain waves to find them, so he could only explore little by little.
It wasn't until noon on the third day that Han Feng finally found a way to use brain waves to find mutants. In the past, Han Feng was always wandering around in the darkness, completely looking for luck. When Han Feng thought that his brain waves would spread outward, he no longer wandered around, but carefully felt the changes in the darkness, and constantly amplified his brain waves. Within the range of his brain waves, as long as there were other mutants' brain waves, then Han Feng could feel them. As long as he followed the brainwaves from others all the way, Han Feng would soon be able to discover other mutants.
After discovering the location of the other mutants, Han Feng only needed to use the mutants around him as a reference in the direction to find out where the other mutants were.
In the next week, Han Feng and Meng Hao always left early and returned late. There are even times when I don't come back at night. Now the distance that Han Feng's brain waves can perceive is about ten kilometers. He had to constantly switch locations in order to expand the scope of his search. With Meng Hao's help, in the space of a week, Han Feng searched all the surrounding counties and villages, and found a total of thirty-seven mutants. and eighty-six ordinary survivors.
The only thing that disappointed Han Feng was that among the thirty-seven mutants, none of them had superpowers. Their eyes are all red, but their physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people, and there is no difference in other places.
This time, Meng Hao was flying farther away with Han Feng, and their destination this time was to go to the Survivor Base closest to them. In addition to looking for mutants, Han Feng also wanted to get some news from other people.
This survivor base called HF was also established by a group of troops and political axes who had withdrawn from HF City. It's just that they are not the base where Lin Huiling's father is. The people who set up this base were not local troops, they had fled from other places. Once here, he and the people of FH City set up a base. It is very close to the gathering point that Lin Huiling's father is responsible for. I just don't know why the two didn't merge together.
When approaching this base, Han Feng saw many scattered survivors. These people did not enter the base, but lived around the base on the basis of a dozen or dozens of people.
After searching for a morning, Han Feng did not find the mutants near this base with more than 100,000 people. The search for many days had made Han Feng a little tired. At noon, Han Feng didn't plan to go far anymore, so he asked Meng Hao to fly back with him.
Not far from the HF City Survivor Base, there is a small survivor camp of two dozen people. At noon that day, their home, which had just been established for a few days, was under siege by hundreds of zombies.
I don't know when the loss appeared, but when they found out, the zombies were already very close to them. Not enough for them to retreat, they had to rely on simple fortifications for low-level. However, the defensive wall less than a meter high piled up with gravel could not stop these zombies at all. If it weren't for the fact that these people had a few guns in hand, they would have let the zombies eat them a long time ago.
The small camp was completely surrounded by zombies, and they didn't have much bullet left. Seeing that the corpse was about to die, everyone was in despair. Even the women and children have picked up some simple weapons and are ready to fight the zombies for the last time.
Sporadic gunshots came from the periphery of the zombies, and with each shot, a zombie fell. When the other zombies heard the sound behind them, they all stopped slightly. They seemed to be choosing whether to move on or to find the source of the voice behind them.
There was a brief pause for the zombies. But the gunfire did not stop, and the zombies still fell one by one, and soon a gap was revealed in the surrounded camp. Two men dressed in black leather jackets, armed with firearms, and wearing sunglasses appeared on the gap.
The two people who rushed in from outside the zombie encirclement, ignoring the people in the camp, quickly rushed to the center of the camp and began to shoot at the zombies around them. Both of them are very accurate in their marksmanship, especially one of the men with two revolvers, and one zombie must be headshot for each shot. More than 100 zombies soon fell under their guns. These two people are none other than Han Feng and Meng Hao.
After all the zombies fell, the people in the camp breathed a sigh of relief. Many people simply sat on the ground and did not move. Several of the children also began to cry. Only the few survivors with guns were still vigilant around, for fear that another zombie would rush over.
When he was sure that all the zombies were dead and there were no zombies in the distance, a man in his forties walked up to Han Feng and Meng Hao, grabbed Han Feng's hand, and said excitedly: "Thank you so much, if it weren't for you, we would all be finished." Thank you so much! ”
"Big brother doesn't have to be like this, it's right to help each other at this time." Han Feng said with a smile.
Everyone else also came over one after another to express their gratitude to Han Feng and Meng Hao. After repeated thanks, Han Feng and Meng Hao were let into a broken tent in the camp.
"Brother Zhao, why don't you go to the survivor base in HF City, but set up a camp here alone?" Han Feng asked puzzled. Through the conversation just now, Han Feng already knew that the man who was the leader in this camp was surnamed Zhao.
Lao Zhao took a breath and said, "Originally, after we escaped, we also wanted to go to the survivor base in HF City. But when I got there, I realized that the first time I went in, I had to hand over ninety percent of all my finances, especially food, or I wouldn't let them in. Although there is food and drink, there are also soldiers who are responsible for safety. It stands to reason that losing your belongings is nothing. After all, the world is in chaos now, as long as you have the guts, you can still get something valuable back. But I heard that there was still a danger of being dragged into the army. I heard that those who were cannon fodder were all survivors of these conscriptions. Every time I go out on a mission, a lot of people die. It's scary to listen to. We were also afraid of being cannon fodder, so we didn't go. And I heard from the people inside that now they don't have much food, and the food ration every day is pitiful, and they are not as good as those of us who are outside. ”
Han Feng understood this way, no wonder there were so many large and small camps around the survivor base in HF City. These people are probably built by people who do not want to lose their belongings, or even those who do not want to obey the orders of others.
"Has this place been attacked by zombies before? Why don't you find a safer place? Meng Hao asked on the side.
"Zombies have been here before, but not as many as this time. At most, there are only three zombies at a time. We have a couple of guns and are not afraid of them yet. I thought it was safe enough here, but I didn't expect so many zombies to come this time. If it weren't for the two of you, we'd all be finished. Lao Zhao said.
"It's probably not safe here, so get out of here. If you really can't do it, go to the HF City Survivor Base. It's always better to have military protection. Han Feng persuaded.
"That's all there is to it. I thought that the army would be able to wipe out the zombies soon. Now it seems that it will not be possible in the short term. Lao Zhao said with a sigh.
In fact, not only Lao Zhao thinks so, but those who refuse to hand over their belongings also have the idea that the army can quickly destroy the zombies. However, the situation was worse than they thought. The various survivor bases don't know how many people have died for food, and there is still time to destroy the zombies. If it weren't for the fact that there was too little food, it would not have been possible for people to hand over their belongings and use them uniformly.
"By the way, where did you get your guns?"
After chatting for a while, when Han Feng was about to leave, he suddenly remembered this question. Because he saw that the guns used by Lao Zhao and the others were all military weapons, which could not be found in ordinary places.
"Gold was exchanged on the black market. Now as long as there is gold, there is such a thing as a gun. Lao Zhao said.
"Black market? Over there? ”
Han Feng asked with some excitement. In the past week, Han Feng and his gang have traveled a lot of places in order to find weapons. As a result, only some weapons could be found in some county police stations or armed forces departments. It's not useful to them at all. Hearing that there were guns sold in the black market, and they were also weapons used by the army, Han Feng and Meng Hao were both interested.
