Chapter 17: The Secondary Infected and the Inner City
Min'an No. 3 Gathering Ground is a human gathering place centered on Min'an Prison.
Lu Li and Fang Yi came to the outside of the No. 3 gathering place, the outermost part of the gathering place was a thick car wall, after the cataclysm, some physical rules were also changed under the power of distortion, and they didn't know that there was a problem in that link, and a large number of cars were scrapped.
This car wall, with the height of four cars and the width of two cars, is filled with a large number of concrete stones and other things in the gaps, forming a steel and cement mixed city wall, on which there are some car sunroofs opened, the cars at the top of the wall are used as sentry posts, and the gate of the wall is a mixture of steel and tires, rubber gates.
Lu Li still attracts the attention of others, a bald head, barefoot, a soft black fur coat, and a backpack-like bulge on the back, but the imaginary time of rushing up and snatching without opening his eyes did not happen.
This is the end of the world, the etiquette is broken, the morality is degraded, although there are the basic laws of the gathering place, but the laws of survival have become more naked, and the people who can live until now are basically unlikely to have fools, if they really encounter it, then they have to consider two situations.
One, the other party has a strong strength, or a strong background, which can make him live to the present day in such a stupid situation.
Second, the other party may be the protagonist, who is still very simple when he first crossed, or because of the needs of the plot, his IQ was lowered by the purple aura, so as to pave the way for pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and pretending to be forced to slap his face.
All in all, the people in the gathering place, even if they look at Lu Li's greedy drooling, they don't dare to flow it out in person, after all, Lu Li's face is ruddy, his body is strong, and the fur on his body is not simple at first glance, and those who can have this state in the last days are generally those old men.
Lu Li walked into the car fence and began to observe the human beings in this gathering place, putting aside environmental factors such as dirt and mess to determine the impact of the distortion force on these people, who were all yellow-skinned and thin, living in a chaotic environment, living tenaciously with cars, containers, tents and even garbage heaps as their residences.
There is a fire burning in some places, and there is a large cauldron on top of the fire, in which some green vegetables and bark leaves, and some leather, and occasionally some pieces of meat of unknown nature can be seen, and when those things are boiling, the people standing around will look at other people vigilantly, and after they are put into the bowl, no matter how hot they are, they will quickly eat them.
"My lord, this is a low-infection residential area, and everyone is in a group, not only to keep food, but also to avoid being knocked out of the stick and become food. Fang Yi said in a low voice on the side.
"On which side is where the secondary infected live. Fang Yi pointed to the other side and said: "The secondary infected can eat the food of the secondary infection, as well as the food of the lower infection, their food sources are relatively rich, and their life is a little easier. ”
Lu Li squinted his eyes and looked over there, where a group of people were trading with a group of monsters, exchanging food for food, and in this land of calamity, food was the biggest hard currency.
Low-infected food, second-infected food, high-infected food, the lower the infection level, the higher the value, I saw that the human took out a large bag of fruits and vegetables, but the person on the other side only took out a small bag, and the two sides of the transaction argued for a long time, and finally the monster added a fist-sized piece of jerky, and the transaction was successful.
"Judging from the size of the piece of meat, nine times out of ten it is human flesh!" Fang Yi twitched the corners of his mouth when he talked about human flesh, and then continued: "Those people also know in their hearts, but as long as they don't hunt it themselves, they can rest assured that it is the meat of some lightly infected creature. ”
"When you talk about human flesh, your heartbeat speed increases, it stands to reason that with your will to survive, even eating raw human flesh is acceptable, right?" Although Lu Li was still looking at the secondary infected over there, he asked Fang Yi in his mouth.
"If I had the means, I wouldn't eat human flesh. Fang Yi said in a low voice: "Although if I have to live, I will eat more than anyone else." ”
The secondary infected people returned to their place of residence with food, and they could at least have a full stomach this time for trading, and those who were secondary infected were more infected by the distorted force, and their appearance also changed to a certain extent, and generally there will be three mutations on their bodies.
One is that the skin has become the gray of Doros, this kind of infected person is much more sensitive to danger, some prominent, and even have the ability to premonition, and their body structure also has a certain degree of alienation, becoming more durable, and life is more tenacious.
The second is that snake scales will appear on the body, the eyes will become snake pupils, and a small part of the tongue will also become snake hyacinth, they will become sensitive to heat, and some can produce venom from teeth and nails.
The third type of secondary infection has yellowish skin and is water-phobic, but they are extremely sensitive to earth tremors, and some can vomit mucus from their mouths that can melt rocks.
It is said that there is a special change, but because of its rarity, all of them are generally regarded as rumors and false rumors.
In the first few years of the apocalypse, these secondary infected people are more likely to survive than the low-level infected humans, because they can feed on the low-level infected humans, and some of the second-infected people claim that they are evolutionary beings, adapted to the new environment, and imprisoned and abused the low-infected people.
It wasn't until the Corrector created by the Twisted Strange Thing appeared, that the secondary infected person could not fuse the Twisted Strange Object for unknown reasons, and the Corrector would awaken various abilities and become extremely powerful after absorbing enough twisted power, that the secondary infected person was deprived of the title of Evolver.
"There are three or four manifestations, and besides Dorros, are there at least two unspeakable things involved in the twisting storm?" Lu Li pondered the key points, and walked over the outer city of Gathering Place No. 3 towards the inner city, which was the original prison, where there were seven or eight well-preserved buildings, but they were surrounded by two tall walls and a power grid.
There is no electricity in the power grid at this time, but there are sentries in combat uniforms on the surrounding fence towers to prevent some people from smuggling into the inner city, the people in the inner city are considered the elite of the human race, or the family members of the elite, and the great modifier also lives inside, compared to the outside, the life in the inner city is much better, and even some places will be more enjoyable than in peacetime.
The big iron gate of the prison also has a lot of guards here, checking and registering the people coming and going, unless the residents outside the city find any treasures, or they are generally not allowed to enter the inner city, and the residents of the inner city rarely come out, after all, every once in a while, there are always people who can't survive to take risks or take revenge on society.
The registrar at the city gate glanced at Lu Li and Fang Yi behind him, and in view of Lu Li's image, he asked in a more polite tone: "Sir, you need to register certain information to enter the inner city, can you answer a few questions?"
