Pearl City, Pearl Park!

Because of the leader's speech at the beginning, even now, even if Mingzhu City and the leadership team of several sessions have changed, the leadership team of each session attaches great importance to the protection of this air-raid shelter and this area without exception!

Not only is the number of visitors severely limited! Prevent the number of people from affecting the environment of the area!

Even the woods around the bomb shelter are trying to maintain their original appearance!

Just like the occasional large-scale transformation of this park, the transformation of this forest is at most to add some antique pavilions and courtyards to these natural forests, so as to maintain the original flavor as much as possible, so that this area has a unique flavor.

As for what to do until the big breakdown, the leadership team of each session of the Pearl City Government will attach so much importance to the entire air-raid shelter, which is difficult for some outsiders to figure out, so there have always been many opinions, and opinions have never been unified!

The only thing that is certain is that until the Day of Apocalypse, the leader who spoke out at the beginning had been alive and well!

According to the grapevine, it seems that every autumn, this old leader always finds a few days to go back to Mingzhu City to rest!

But now whether the old leader is still alive or not, I don't know!

After all, it's been more than half a year since we entered the end times!

……

Let's bring the topic back to ......

Regardless of the reasons for the leaders of these Pearl City governments. It is only so important to the entire Pearl Park, but it cannot be denied that they are at least for this modern Pearl City. Such a large area of green has been preserved!

If it weren't for the occasional small bridges and flowing water with obvious traces of artificial carving under the lush foliage, and the pavilions and courtyards for people to rest, when you enter this lush green forest, it is really no different from entering the large forest to the south of Pearl City!

And now in the end times, under the dual influence of those X viruses and nuclear radiation, these trees in the park. In the past half a year, I have been going crazy, which invisibly makes the parks in this city more and more like those primeval forests!

Of course. Generally speaking, compared with the primeval forest between the mountains and mountains in the south, there is a very obvious advantage in this park - that is, in this pearl park. Even if the trees grow taller. The vines are thicker and more luxuriant, almost indistinguishable from those primeval jungles! But here is a poor foundation after all!

Heritage? That's right! That's the substance! It's just that this background refers to all kinds of wild animals and the like!

It's downtown after all!

Naturally, this forest cannot contain all kinds of ferocious predators!

At the top of the sky, there are some stray dogs, stray cats and other mutated animals! And naturally, there are the mutant rats that are almost everywhere!

Because of this, relatively speaking, the survivors living in Pearl Park are undoubtedly much happier than those who are now trapped in the 015 military!!

At least their range of motion won't be restricted, and they won't be mutated by mobs. Trapped in the base, I can't even think about leaving!

…………

"Click...... Click......"

Just after dawn. Somewhere in the woods outside the bomb shelter, there was a series of very rhythmic crunching sounds of shoes stepping on the snow!

Not long after, a five-person patrol team appeared in the direction where the voice came!

Five people, carrying five guns of different models on their backs, as well as various cold weapons such as knives, guns and axes, have been silently patrolling this small woods.

This five-person team, every half hour, would patrol around the woods, and it was clear that the area they were responsible for patrolling was only this small area.

When the patrol is over, they will come to a humble wooden pavilion, light a bonfire, and the five of them huddle together, chatting and fart, and resting for a while! And then go on patrol again!

There are actually a lot of patrols like this around the entire bomb shelter!

If you do the math, there are about twenty of them......

And they all know each other, and the relationship between everyone seems to be good, and every time they bump into each other during the patrol, they will say hello and chat a few words!

can look at their appearance, although the relationship is good, but they don't seem to belong to each other!

There is always a layer of estrangement between each other......

This situation is even more obvious when these patrol squads patrol to the entrance of the air-raid shelter, and when the members of these patrol squads meet the soldiers who are guarding behind the bunker at the door of the bomb shelter!

It's as if the two sides are not a system at all!

Even when they bump into each other occasionally, the two sides directly ignore each other, as if they don't know each other at all!

"Hoo ......"

In the five-person patrol team that had just finished patrolling again, a man who was walking behind the most part of the team covered his whole body tightly, pulled down his mask, and exhaled a mouthful of white gas from his mouth!

"Ha Lu Ha, I'm tired!! The patrol is finally over! ”

This man is not young!

Wrinkled skin, eyes full of vicissitudes, slightly gray beard and hair, judging from his appearance alone, this man should be around forty years old!

However, his strength is not weak, judging from his breath, he should have a strength that is not weaker than that of an eighth-level enhancer!

This is already very good among ordinary survivors, and the strength of those who can be level eight enhancers is already very good, at least they already have the most basic guarantee to be able to survive alone in the harsh environment of the last days!

But even if he has the strength of a person who is not weaker than an eighth-level strengthener, judging from his aura alone, this man in his forties, in this five-person patrol team, can only be regarded as the weakest one!

It was this middle-aged man who walked into the gazebo. I couldn't wait to take off my hood, and took off my thick gloves and scarf from my hands and neck, just as I was looking for a place with a little leeward. When you sit and take a good rest......

Among the five people, he had been at the forefront of the patrol team before, judging from his breath, it should be the strongest person who spoke, and his voice was slightly hoarse, and he seemed full of anger: "Zhou Li, let's go get some wood first!" Light a fire! Let's take off the heating first, and it is estimated that the successor will have to wait before he can come! ”

said. This man also took off the veil that covered his face!

With a Chinese face and a beard, this is a man in his thirties. He exudes a heavy aura all over his body, and anyone who looks at him will feel that he is trustworthy!

"Oh!"

Hear him say that. A middle-aged man in his forties who was just about to sit down. He replied sullenly, with a depressed face!

It turned out that this middle-aged man around forty years old was named Zhou Li!

can be depressed Yemeni again, although he is very tired now, but as the worst person in the team, he is ordered by the boss to do all kinds of chores, which is a normal thing!

And usually, Zhou Li doesn't need to be ordered at all, as long as he comes. I will take the initiative to get the wood myself!

It's just that I just finished patrolling today, and I'm so tired! Relax. I accidentally forgot about it!

Immediately gritted his teeth and propped his feet, wanting to get up again......

……

Fortunately, in this five-person patrol team, the relationship between everyone should be pretty good!

After seeing Zhou Li's tired face, a young man next to him with long hair and a jacket, who was relatively young, probably only in his twenties, but his aura had reached the peak of the ninth-level enhancer, hurriedly stood up straight, stretched out his hand and pressed Zhou Li down: "Old Zhou, you better rest first!" I'm just busy! ”

Zhou Li hurriedly said: "How can this work......

"Why can't it be......"

This time, without waiting for the long-haired young man to speak, another short-haired young man next to him, who was the same age as the young man and whose strength was not much different, stood up directly from the wooden bench: "Lan Feng, let's go, let's go and breathe!" ”

After that, the short-haired young man, without waiting for Zhou Li's reply, directly pulled the long-haired young man named Lan Feng who stood up first and walked to a small pyre not far away!

There, there are some dead branches and dead leaves that they have hoarded beforehand!

It's cold! It's drier again! Wood like this is the best material to burn!

Seeing the two of them walking away, Zhou Li stayed where he was, looking at the boss who was headed by him for a while, and looking at the two young people who had gone away, he couldn't sit or stand for a while!

The bearded boss next to him smiled with relief and comforted: "Old Zhou, since Xiao Feng and Liu Yu told you to sit down, you can sit down and rest for a while!" They're young, let them move more......"

Looking at the smile on his face that couldn't be hidden, it was obviously Lan Feng and this young man named Liu Yu who acted to help, which made him very satisfied!!

And that's exactly what happened......

The reason why he asked Zhou Li, the oldest person, to collect firewood and light a fire for everyone before! That's because Zhou Li's own strength is the weakest in this team!

In the last days, strength is respected, this is not an empty word!

Even if he knew that Zhou Li was the weakest because of his weakest strength, he would be the most tired after insisting on patrolling the whole process, but as the boss of the entire team, he had to make such an arrangement!

The weak must serve the strong!

This is already the default rule for all survivors in the end times! It's not like he alone wants to destroy it, and he can destroy it!

Otherwise, once he is rumored to be outside, many people will look at him with colored glasses! And their ranks! Some people even think they break the rules!

No way!

Groups with vested interests always do not give up the rights and interests that have been obtained easily!

If you want to break it and re-establish the rules, you have to have the strength to be above the whole group!

It's a pity that he doesn't have this kind of strength!

Now that Lan Feng and Liu Yu are here, they have taken the initiative to stand up and help Zhou Li, and he, the boss, doesn't need to worry that someone will stand up and chew his tongue and talk about this matter!

"That's right! Lao Zhou, you just sit down honestly and take a good rest! Let these little bunnies do their ......"

After listening to the boss's speech, the last member of the team. has been sitting next to him without gnawing sound, with a bald head, looking a very strong man. Finally spoke! As he spoke, he took out a cigarette butt from his pocket that was about to run out, put it next to his nose and sniffed it, and then handed it to the boss at the head!

The boss waved his hand: "Give it to Lao Zhou!" ”

At that moment, the big man didn't hesitate, and as soon as he changed his hand, he took this cigarette butt that I don't know how many people had passed through the road, and how many times it had been swallowed and smelled. Throw it to Zhou Li!

"Hey......

Zhou Li's face was immediately full of excitement, as if he had obtained a treasure, and took the cigarette butt with both hands. After looking at the boss and this sturdy middle-aged man gratefully, he couldn't wait to put the cigarette butt next to his nostrils and sniffed greedily.

"Ah......h

Immediately, his face was even more intoxicated, and he sighed exaggeratedly.

Smell this long-lost smell of smoke. Obviously, Zhou Li felt extraordinarily satisfied!!

And the other side. Seeing Zhou Li's expression of enjoyment, the sturdy man who threw the cigarette to him just now hurriedly took out a piece from the pocket of his underwear pocket again, only smoked more than half of the cigarette, and there were still a lot of tobacco leaves left. He took out a small strip of tobacco, put it in his mouth and chewed it......

Seeing the satisfied expressions on these two people's faces full of intoxication and endless aftertaste! The middle-aged man at the head shook his head helplessly. But I didn't say much! Apparently used to this scene for a long time!

There is no doubt that these two must be smokers among smokers, smokers among smokers!

…………

Zhou Li!

This is a private middle school in Shenzhen-Hong Kong City, an ordinary people's teacher!

Before the Great Breakdown, I had been teaching English to the graduating class......

The professional ethics are not bad, although they will also accept some parents' gifts during the New Year's holidays, but overall, even if they keep these parents' gifts, it is because of the overall bad environment and atmosphere, they have to accept them, and Zhou Li will not treat these students differently because he accepted these parents' gifts, just in class!

Wait until the day of the great destruction......

Zhou Li's experience is similar to that of most families on the entire planet!

watched the whole family, under the most interception of the dark chaser, one after another, and the last one died, leaving him alone, and he survived by luck!

That time was the darkest day of Zhou Li's life!

Looking at the wife who swore to stay together for the rest of her life, her childhood sweetheart was bitten off her neck by a dark chaser, and the promise of the two of them was still in their ears.

After the death of his wife, the next step is to send the white-haired man to the black-haired man! Witness your son and daughter being eaten bloodily by a group of dark chasers!

During that time, this scene kept appearing in my sleep.

Zhou Li was also awakened by nightmares in his sleep more than once late at night......

Unbearable torture, Zhou Li even thought of suicide more than once, but that's it, but his life was over!

But it takes courage to commit suicide!

After experiencing several life-and-death struggles, especially a suicide attempt, after being inadvertently saved by someone, Zhou Li's desire to commit suicide faded!

Then Zhou Li came to this air-raid shelter......

After spending almost half a year in the muddy, I joined the current team by chance......

In the whole team, the boss Xie Weihong! Soldier-level mid-level evolutionary! The second, Han Da, is also a soldier-level evolutionary, and his strength is only slightly worse than the boss!

In a small team of five people, there are actually two evolutionaries, even in the entire bomb shelter, the strength is already very good!

This is also for what since the establishment of this team, even if the owner of this bomb shelter has changed one stubble after another, and has changed three controllers in a row, this team can also be the biggest capital to stay out of the matter in these three relatively large turmoil!!

And a small team like them, among the thousands of survivors in the entire bomb shelter, there are actually no less than a hundred!

Some of them are strong and some are weak, and the number of people is also more or less!

The few are two or three people, the most can even exceed a hundred, the strong ones may have five evolutionaries, and the weak ones may only have a few enhancers.

Of course, if you want to have such a team without an evolutionary, there is not much soil for survival in the bomb shelter! It's okay not to get out of the bomb shelter, once you get out. There's a good chance you'll be hunted by other teams!

……

As for why there is such a situation of power......

It's actually quite simple......

After all, this air-raid shelter is the first force in the entire Pearl City. Thousands of people gathered! At its peak, the number of survivors gathered here even exceeded 10,000!

And in the last days, there is no shortage of powerful and ambitious heroes!

And where there are many people, it is a place where such characters gather......

So even if he is as strong as Lin Fan, he was the strongest person in this Pearl City in the middle of the day. At the most beautiful time, it did not dare to completely ban other small groups in bomb shelters. The existence of a small potential!

If he really wanted to do this, he would really be angry......

At that time, once these teams unite with the leader and boss of the powerful forces, even if he is a general-level powerhouse, he can only steal chickens and rice!

But it's the same. If you have what you gain, you have to give something!

These small groups. Since he stayed in the air-raid shelter and enjoyed the protection of Lin Fan's powerful forces, he naturally had to pay something......

They need to maintain their independence, and it is impossible to obey Lin Fan's orders, this is the premise, and Lin Fan can't let them mess around in the air-raid shelter, after many consultations. In the end, a method that was acceptable to everyone was discussed, and the two sides agreed on three chapters......

Lin Fan does not meddle in the internal affairs of these small teams. Allow them to exist! And allow them to come and go in and out of bomb shelters at will! There is no restriction on everyone's stay and going!

Equally......

In return, Lin Fan won't care what happens to these teams and forces outside, but once they enter the jurisdiction of the bomb shelter, they must abide by the rules here!

You can't make trouble at will!

On this basis, as long as they are in the air-raid shelter and stay for more than three days, the team and the force have the responsibility, and must also be responsible for certain defense tasks in the air-raid shelter, and when necessary, when the air-raid shelter is invaded by foreign enemies, they also have the obligation to help Lin Fan defend against foreign enemies!

Of course......

This foreign enemy does not include other human beings who have the strength to attack Lin Fan!!

After all, when Lin Fan attacked this bomb shelter, those people didn't choose one side of the two sides!

This is also the reason why Lin Fan was defeated and retreated, and their small team sheltered under the bomb shelter did not help.

In their eyes, this is actually just the alternation of the old and the new, and after the bomb shelter has a new owner again, they can still exist!

In addition to Xie Weihong and Han Da, the two military-level powerhouses, as the mainstay, the remaining three people in this small team are Zhou Li, Lan Feng, and Liu Yu!

The three of them joined the team early or late!

However, because of the personalities of Xie Weihong and Han Da, compared with other small teams, in Zhou Li's team, the concept of hierarchy is not too strong!

Compared with the strict hierarchy within other teams, here, the five people are more like real companions and comrades-in-arms! There is no such thing as someone being above someone!

This is also the reason why Zhou Li chose to join this team after wandering for nearly half a year!

…………

Wait until Zhou Li took the cigarette butt and took a few puffs greedily......

Liu Yu and Lan Feng, who had just walked out of the city to get firewood, had already walked over with a large bundle of dry wood in their arms.

"Ahem......"

Xie Weihong coughed lightly!

Zhou Li and Han Da, who were still intoxicated with enjoyment just now, immediately made a swing......

When they saw Liu Yu and Lan Feng from a distance, Zhou Li and Han Da hurriedly put the cigarette butt and half of the cigarette in their pockets as if they were thieves!

In the last days, cigarettes are a more expensive and harder thing to come by than food for smokers! Of course, this is only for smokers, and non-smokers will never know the importance of cigarettes to smokers! It's like Xie Weihong!

The reason why Han Da dared to take out his treasured cigarette butts and cigarettes in front of Xie Weihong was precisely because he knew that Xie Weihong was not a smoker at all, and even if the cigarettes were sent to him, he would not ask for them!

As for Zhou Li!!

Now Han Dazhen has half of the cigarettes left in his pocket, which is actually Zhou Li's filial piety!

So when Han handed the cigarette butt that originally belonged to him to Zhou Li, he would look so generous!

But Liu Yu and Lan Feng are different!

Don't look at the age of these two guys, although they are not very old, their addiction to smoking is even more terrifying than Han Da and Zhou Li, two old smokers who have been smoking for decades!

When the craving for cigarettes comes up. In order to enjoy the familiar nicotine taste, with Han Da and Zhou Li's understanding of these two people, these two little ghosts. That's really not even a life!

That's not a lie!

Because something like this has happened to Liu Yu and Lan Feng more than once! For this reason, their team also had several firefights with other teams!

Zhou Li is okay, his half of the cigarette butt, it is estimated that Liu Yu and Lan Feng will not be able to cut it!

But if they really let them know that Han Da still has half of the cigarettes he hasn't smoked, then Han Da's half of the cigarettes. But it's a bit dangerous!

Maybe one morning when we come together, we won't be there!

I can't say that I have to go crazy with those two little guys again......

…………

However, the two still underestimated the sensitivity of Liu Yu and Lan Feng's pair of dog noses!

Just close to the gazebo......

Liu Yu and Lan Feng opened their mouths wide and closed their mouths as if they were conscious, and they sniffed into the air in unison.

"Huh......"

The next second. The two of them showed surprise on their faces at the same time, and the wood in their hands didn't care, and they just made a "bang...... and sound, and all of them were still on the ground. Then one left and one right. Following the taste, he leaned over to Han Da and Zhou Li.

"Hey, Hey, ......"

"What for! Do!! ”

Seeing the appearance of these two people, Han Da and Zhou Li secretly said that something was wrong, and hurriedly dodged, and in the process of not dodging, Han Da flew up directly, sniffed his nose into the pocket of his underwear with a cigarette hidden in his arms, and Liu Yu kicked it away, and said with an exaggerated expression: "Get out." You Dead Glass!! ”

But his kick is not a bit of a deterrent!

Liu Yu just rolled on the snow and got up again. I followed the smell of smoke again!

"Smoke, I smell smoke, who has cigarettes on you?"

"That's right! I smell it too! Don't be stingy! Suck it on me, it's really just ......."

The two of them thought about it in pieces, and it looked like they had gone crazy!

Seeing this momentum, Han Da is one head and two big!

If Zhilu continues like this, the cigarettes in his pocket will definitely be discovered by these two smokers!

His face turned cold, and his momentum began to climb sharply!

In order to keep his cigarettes, he is planning to beat these two crazy little guys down again!

Seeing this momentum, Zhou Li sighed helplessly at the moment, and took out the cigarette butt from his arms: "Huh!" There is no cigarette, but there is another cigarette butt, do you want it! ”

Although it is very reluctant!

But as the weakest member of the entire team, Zhou Li naturally knew that some things had to be sacrificed when he should be sacrificed!

Only in this way can you reflect your role to the team!

Even if the atmosphere in this team is very good!

But the weak must have the consciousness of the weak! Otherwise, even Xie Weihong would not be able to protect him!

Fortunately, although Liu Yu and Lan Feng were addicted to smoking, they couldn't even take their lives, but they didn't rarely find Zhou Li's cigarette butt!

Things like cigarette butts, they're not uncommon.

In fact, now each of them can take out a large handful of cigarette butts in their arms! And they take the trouble to carry these cigarette butts, just so that they can take them out and smell them when they miss that smell!

In this case, they naturally couldn't look down on the cigarette butt in Zhou Li's hand that only had one tail left!

"Hey......"

"Really?"

Although there are still some doubts! However, being glared at by Han Da just now, the two of them were more or less sober, in order to avoid suffering a little less flesh and skin, they could only endure it!

But just looking at their flickering eyes, sneaking a glance at him from time to time, Han Da couldn't help but feel a little weak!

I wondered if I was secretly looking for a place to smoke this half of the cigarette!

……………………

After this little episode, a bonfire was quickly lit in the gazebo!

A group of five people, sitting around the accompanying wooden chairs, sat there quietly, waiting for the next patrol team!

After more than half a year......

Nowadays, the various ways of cooperation between the bomb shelter and the various small forces attached to the bomb shelter have become very standardized!

Therefore, even if it belongs to different forces, there are very few cases where someone does not follow the rules!

After all, patrolling is related to the safety of the entire settlement!

It's a matter of your own life!

But today there seems to be an accident......

It's been almost half an hour since Zhou Li and they came back after patrolling!

Usually at this time, the successor should have arrived a long time ago, but now he didn't even see half a shadow......

This makes everyone have a trace of doubt on their faces!

At the same time, the atmosphere has become a little oppressive......

……

When they patrol, they will basically have a fixed area!

In each area, there are as few as three teams and as many as five teams, and everyone rotates patrols with each other......

Because they are all in the same area, in general, the relationship between the teams in charge of the same area will be a little better!

Until today, there were always five teams in charge of this area!

The time for everyone to patrol is also broken, and in rotation, the average of only four or five hours per team is enough!

Five teams!

If you talk about the number of people alone, Zhou Li is naturally the least!

Because among the other four teams, even the smallest number of people, there are about 20 people!

But they're just a lot of people!

In terms of high-end combat effectiveness, among the other four teams, the most is only one soldier-level powerhouse!!

And because of this......

So among these five teams, Zhou Li's status is quite high!

In many cases, the other four teams, in order to curry favor with them, will even give the patrol mission that originally belonged to them to follow!

After all, there are many younger brothers in those teams!

Anyway, you don't need the boss to patrol in person, you can sell it to Xie Weihong and Han Da, you are very happy!

Not so long ago, however, the situation changed......

It all started three days ago......

…………

Four days ago, this new momentum defeated Lin Fan, the former number one master in Pearl City, and took over this bomb shelter!

When he arrived, they gathered all the teams and forces in the bomb shelter and made a promise that they would not make any changes to the rules that had been specified!

It is precisely because of this commitment of theirs!

This change of power did not have too bad an impact on the settlement!

Large and small potential forces, all of them acquiesced to the control of the air-raid shelter by this mysterious potential force that suddenly came out of nowhere!

Not very willing though!

But at the beginning, many people saw with their own eyes that Lin Fan was defeated by this mysterious and powerful leader!

If it's not a last resort, no one will want to be this up-and-coming bird......
