"Something?" The woman asked.

"Well, I'm looking for someone." Liu Chang nodded while eating, and said: "A few of my friends may pass by here, so I want to ask what forces are more influential here." After all, the more people there are, the easier it is to find someone. ”

"I see." The woman smiled and took another bite of the purple potato, and then said, "In that case, for the sake of this food, I will help you." ”

"Thank you then." Liu Chang said: "I haven't asked you yet, what's your name?" ”

"Well, my name is Milan, I used to be a psychiatrist, and now I ......" Milan smiled bitterly when he ate this purple potato, "It's a person who sells his body." ”

"Oh." Liu Chang heard her helplessness, and shook his head with a wry smile, "I understand." ”

"Well, thank you for your understanding, it's because I understood it too late, so my little brother in my family will die." Milan finished eating purple potatoes in three or two bites, and wandered around Liu Chang's room.

"How did he die?"

"Starving." When the girl said this, her face was still unnatural, "It's not very old, and it would have been difficult for a child to survive the first bacterial invasion." He was lucky enough to survive, but a few days later, he was so hungry that he was swollen from hunger due to lack of food, and finally died. ”

"I've heard it said before that the most painful way to die is to burn to death. But after seeing my brother's death, I don't think so. It's better to be burned than to starve. Milan twitched the corners of her mouth as she spoke, "Especially the kind of slow starvation that is really painful." ”

"So, from that moment on, you came to your senses?"

"Well, I don't want to die, and I don't want to starve." The woman walked up to Liu Chang in a hurry, "But in this world, I have no hunting ability, no arms, no connections, and no mutation ability." I'm only one person, and that's all I can sell. ”

"Hmm." Liu Chang listened to Milan's words, and felt some sympathy in his heart, but more irritability, in the end, he had heard too many such stories. The last word is a huge melting pot, and everyone who lives in it has their own story - and most of it is a tragedy.

Liu Chang's own life is full of tragedies - parents, friends, brothers and relatives, who have not lost one after another, and who wants to hear the tragic stories of whom.

"Let's go, walk around with me." Speaking of the tragic topic, Liu Chang got up and stood up, "Let me take a look at this city, and by the way, learn about the distribution of forces here." ”

"Well, come with me." Milan heard Liu Chang's words and turned around and left the room.

Following her, Liu Chang put the giant weapon on the table - there was no fight, it was not good to carry these two guys on the street - it was too eye-catching. However, the dagger and pistol still had to be carried, and two pistols, one large and one small, were pinned to his waist, and Liu Chang left the room after packing up.

followed the woman all the way out of the building, Liu Chang didn't see Li Feng's figure, and the other personnel saw a lot, but they didn't know each other. The men didn't ask any questions when they saw him, it seemed like a loose organization, and he followed Milan all the way out into the street.

"You look like you're here for the first time?" After stepping out of the building, Milan asked.

"Yes, it's the first time I've been here, and I don't know much about anything." Liu Chang looked back at the renovated building of the hot pot restaurant and asked, "What is this for?" ”

"Oh, a transfer station for food goods, and the stationmaster is Li Feng." Milan looked at Liu Chang suspiciously, "You don't know?" ”

"I didn't know, I came for the first time yesterday."

"Then I see that he is quite familiar with you, although that guy is not poor, no one will be too rich these days, can he raise a person for nothing, and hire me?" Milan muttered, and then said: "But it doesn't matter to me, it's annoying for you to ask too much, you're not bad to me, I'll tell you everything I know." ”

"That's right." Liu Chang followed her to the street.

This hot pot restaurant is located in the center of the city, which is supposed to be a busy area, but there are not many people on the street - the last city is like this, and it is full of life in the midst of depression and dilapidation. This vitality is not an upgrade of human beings, but the vitality of plants and other animals.

So, if you don't count the thatch on the roofs and the bugs under your feet - the city can really only be described as dilapidated and depressed.

"How many people are there in the city now?" Liu Chang looked at the empty street.

"About 100,000." "Most of them are dead," Milan said. ”

"No wonder." Liu Chang looked at the empty houses on both sides, "There are more dead than outside." ”

"What's outside?"

"The outside world, the world beyond the labyrinthic forest." Liu Chang said: "I came from outside. ”

"Really?" When Milan heard the news, he was shocked and said, "No, who can pass through this prison forest?" Those who went in were lost in it. ”

"Believe it or not, anyway, the mortality rate inside is really higher than outside, probably because of the tight lockdown." As Liu Chang spoke, he saw a listless person on the street walking past him, "Do you call the Hidden Forest a prison forest?" It's hard to hunt in this forest, right? ”

"Yes, it's hard, even if there's prey, it's too hard to find." Milan put away his shock and said: "So the food here is very precious, most of it is some plants found from outside, and then politics." There is a research room on the other side of the house, and after the renovation, everyone is asked to plant. But it hasn't been very good......"

"Because plants mutate after a few generations, right?" Liu Chang knew that this was a problem for the whole world, and Li Qingshui couldn't solve it back then, and these people couldn't solve it.

"Yes. Not to mention the slow planting of things, it is not easy to preserve, and you have to keep looking for seeds outside. "This is the root cause of food shortages," Milan said. ”

"So, in there, food is a harder hard currency than weapons?" Liu Chang pondered, "Is it that to find someone to help, you have to have a large amount of food as an exchange chip?" ”

"That's for sure, if you don't have friendship and no food, who will do anything for you?" Milan said and pointed to himself: "Take myself as an example, if it weren't for the sake of a pound of food and the face of that purple potato, you think I would talk to you so much?" ”

"That's true." Liu Chang rubbed his chin, "Then in that case, take me to your biggest underworld first." ”
