Chapter 8: Out of the City
Early the next morning, Zhou Hongqiang left the siege with dozens of warriors and several pickup trucks.
Zhou Zheng watched through the window as his father left and walked to the room with the partition wall.
This is a weapons room, which is lined with all kinds of hot and cold weapons, from one-handed swords, to two-handed swords, to all kinds of knives of different lengths. Most of these weapons are forged from special steel, and they are definitely the best weapons that can be forged by the current process.
Thermal weapons are also varied, from police pistols, to large-caliber pistols, submachine guns, and rifles are hung on the walls.
Zhou Zheng looked at a sniper rifle hanging on the wall, which was an M99 semi-automatic sniper rifle.
Like sniper rifles, there are not many in the siege, only a few.
The domestic environment determines that guns cannot be circulated at will, and these sniper rifles were shot from the local armed police force and from the hands of a large number of poisonous corpses. As a weapon that poses a great threat to warriors, of course, it will not be handed over to others at will.
Shaking his head, Zhou Zheng just stroked the body of the gun, and finally didn't choose it.
Removed a Type 03 automatic rifle from the wall, loaded it with a bayonet, took a few spare rounds, and carried the gun to the back.
Out of habit, Zhou Zheng chose a dagger, hesitated, and chose a one-handed sword.
When you are ready, you leave the weapons room with your equipment.
"Young Master, where are you going?"
Seeing Zhou Zheng's fully armed appearance, Zhou An and Lan Xi were taken aback.
"I'm going to go out for a while." Zhou Zheng said lightly.
Zhou An's brows furrowed, and he said, "Young Master, the leader has instructed that there have been many dangers outside the siege recently, and it is an eventful time, so it is best not to go out at will." â
"It's okay, I'm just going to take a turn within the siege safety limits." Zhou Zheng's tone was unquestionable, "What's more, with the two of you to protect me, I think even if you encounter a poisonous corpse or a strange beast, with you here, there is no need to worry." â
Zhou An and Lan Xi were a little embarrassed, and after thinking about it, they had to agree.
Walking out with his feet raised, Zhou Zheng refused the request of the two of them to help him get weapons.
Guards will check the entry and exit of the siege, and under normal circumstances, only the warriors have the right to enter and exit freely. Ordinary people need to apply if they want to enter and exit, which is also a way to protect ordinary people. Ordinary people outside the siege are too dangerous, and they have no ability to protect themselves, and any strange beast can kill them.
Even though it was morning, the sun was already shining on the earth, and it was golden.
People who get up in the morning and are busy, what they see in them is not the end of the world, but full of yearning for life.
Two years is enough time for them to adapt to the world and no longer be afraid of it.
Seeing Zhou Zheng, many people took the initiative to say hello.
With a population of 3-40,000, Zhou Zheng doesn't know many people, but he can't stand people knowing that he is the son of the leader. Instinctively, Zhou Zheng just smiled and answered one by one.
"Young Master, do we need a car?"
It was Lan Xi who spoke, and he said: "There is a lot of distance around the siege from here, and if you have a car, it will be much more convenient and fast, so that we can also come back earlier." He was still worried that something would go wrong, and since he couldn't stop Zhou Zheng, it was better to come back early to reduce the danger.
Zhou An said: "In the DMV, there are all kinds of cars. â
The DMV is a place in the besieged city that is responsible for the custody and maintenance and repair of vehicles.
Zhou Zheng of the vehicle management office knows that in his memory, there are even sports cars in it, but no one dares to really use this oil tiger, and the current situation is that fuel is very expensive, but no one wants to waste expensive fuel on the sports body.
Zhou Zheng thought about it, shook his head and said, "No, let's walk, anyway, it will be too far from the siege." â
At the besieged gate, it consisted of a gate made of alloy up to 40 centimeters thick, mechanically controlled, which could be closed in the shortest possible time.
"Young Master, are you going out hunting?"
One of the guards' squad leaders stepped forward and asked.
Zhou Zheng didn't explain, but only answered vaguely, and took Zhou An and Lan Xi out of the city gate.
The team leader didn't think much about it, Zhou Zheng used to go out like this from time to time, not to mention that with two guards there, there was no danger at all.
A concrete road at an angle of nearly 45 degrees leads to the foot of the slope, and then joins a dirt road through the fields of crops and into the distance. On both sides of the cement road, it is paved with cement oil, which is very smooth, and people can barely stand firm on it, and when necessary, they are splashed with some vegetable oil, which is enough to stop ordinary poisonous corpses and strange beasts.
After two years of natural purification, the air is completely different from before, it is very fresh, inhaled into the lungs, and has a vegetal aroma.
Of course, Zhou Zheng would not tell Zhou An and the two of them about his purpose, and after thinking about it last night, he became more and more sure that he would gain experience by hunting poisonous corpses and strange beasts. Zhou Zheng is very dissatisfied with the current situation, in this new world where strength is respected, what is the difference between trainee martial artists and ordinary people?
As long as he can level up, Zhou Zheng is not afraid of anyone at all.
Zhou Zheng also wanted to see if his conjecture was correct, and whether the improvement of the character's attributes would improve his own strength in reality.
The ability of the thief lies in the speed and critical hit, in addition to the low defense and blood volume, the thief's attack power and speed are the top storage zĂ i in the "Sky Continent", only the speed of level 1, there is no difference compared to the martial artist.
What's more, once the character can be upgraded, it means that the skill can be unblocked.
Compared with the character attributes, the unsealing of skills is the most rebellious.
With these reasons, how could Zhou Zheng resist the temptation of these factors?
At the bottom of the slope is a large area of tens of thousands of acres of crop land, which guarantees the survival of tens of thousands of people in the entire besieged city.
Those who work will always try to get their work done when the sun is not too hot, and when the sun is high, they can rest in the house. At a glance, there are a large number of laborers on the fields of different heights.
In the last days, there is almost no need for anything other than to be fed and not starved to death, and people's only job is probably to participate in planting crops.
"Good morning, Young Master Zhou."
"Good morning, young master......"
"Good morning, young master!"
Walking on the dirt road through the crop field, the people who saw Zhou Zheng greeted each other.
Zhou Hongqiang's power is unimaginable to outsiders, and it is Zhou Hongqiang, a strong man, who ensured the safety of tens of thousands of people here, led them to escape from the encirclement of poisonous corpses and strange beasts, and established a habitat here to survive.
Even if Zhou Zheng is wasted, under Zhou Hongqiang's aura, he will be touched by Zhou Hongqiang's light.
It took half an hour to respond all the way through this crop field like a vast sea.
When the dirt road arrives here, it is connected to a deserted secondary road, and the Mercedes-Benz without vehicles for two years seems to have gone through vicissitudes, giving people a sense of decadence. On both sides of the road, the trees are still growing well, a large number of wild grass is spread on both sides of the road, and a large number of fallen leaves have paved a thin layer of road surface.
Stepping on the secondary road, Zhou Zheng kept walking forward.
Zhou An and Lan Xi glanced at each other, but they didn't stop them, and continued to follow Zhou Zheng.
This area is still a safe area, and from time to time there will be warriors patrolling the city to expel some dangerous beasts. In the safe area, the most dangerous alien beasts are just some first- and second-order alien beasts, so there is no need to worry too much about safety.
On the side of the road, you can see some villages in ruins from time to time.
Some were demolished for the construction of sieges, and some were destroyed by alien beasts. These villages are full of barren grass and barrenness.
"Young master, you can't go any further."
Lan Xi hesitated for a moment and said loudly.
This place is also three kilometers away from the siege, and although it is a safe area, there will still be some poisonous corpses and strange beasts that have slipped through the net. He and Zhou An are only the second stage of the martial arts, and they can still deal with poisonous corpses and strange beasts when they encounter them here, and then stay away from the siege, the poisonous corpses and strange beasts that appear may not be able to protect them thoroughly.
Zhou Zheng smiled lightly: "Go forward a little more." â
Lan Xi and Zhou An whispered a few words, and finally agreed to Zhou Zheng's request.
This secondary road leads to the city thirty kilometers away, and five kilometers from the siege, there is a checkpoint, where more than a dozen besieging soldiers carry guns on their backs, and the captain is a three-stage warrior, mainly to kill the poisonous corpses that wander from the city.
At the same time, out of this checkpoint means that there is a safe area of the siege.
