This is the outermost part of the settlement, and it is also the most dilapidated and lawless place.

The people who stay here are basically old and immovable, and there is no way to go out hunting. Or they are injured, disabled, sick, or abandoned children, etc. They lay or sit without movement, and look lifeless.

It's just that these people look like they're waiting for death, but their bloodshot eyes exude an almost crazy gaze!

When people are about to starve to death, the instinct to survive will make them do the craziest things!

"Maybe when we'll be able to use it. Chen Mo looked at these people whose eyes were full of desire to survive, and thought in his heart that he might be able to use these people when he could use them. The most worthless thing in this era may be human life, and even some insignificant material contributions in Chen Mo's opinion are enough to make these people die for themselves!

"This is the best place to be outside of the core area controlled by the committee. Old Jack pointed to a low-rise house in front of him that looked barely neat on both sides and introduced to Chen Mo: "The house here has everything, and it also provides electricity supply for three hours a day. Only two bullets are needed a day. ”

After a pause, Old Jack looked at Chen Mo with a sly gaze, "Actually, you can go to my house to live, you only need one bullet a day!"

Chen Mo could feel from Old Jack's flickering gaze and strange words that he was playing tricks, but he didn't have the time and mood to deal with him now. After throwing him a handful of bullets, let Old Jack deal with the matter of renting a house, and let Old Jack and the others come over early tomorrow morning.

"I've made a lot of money this time!" said Old Jack and a few of his companions, gathered together excitedly.

He did brush Chen Mo's head just now, the rent here is indeed two bullets a day, but that refers to reloading bullets. For example, the yellow-orange-orange original bullet given by Chen Mo is far more expensive than the reloading bullet. Just helping Chen Mo run errands made a lot of money!

A group of people quickly distributed their respective benefits and went home. When old Jack and his son got home, they shouted loudly for their wife to buy a bucket of clean water. It's been a long time since they've drunk clean water.

Because of nuclear contamination, clean water is as scarce as food. Decades of nuclear contamination have been sinking and polluting underground water sources, not to mention rain in the sky. Pollution is worse than groundwater.

For those who have no money or power, the only way to survive is to drink the polluted water. Even if you know that this is drinking to quench your thirst, there is no way to do it.

The committee, which has the equipment and filtration system to extract water from deeper ground, controls the clean water and sells it at a high price. Ordinary people like Old Jack's family may not have drunk a source of clean water with a sweet smell in years.

This time, they were blessed by Chen Mo, and after making a fortune by exchanging new bullets for reloading bullets, Old Jack was determined to enjoy it.

'Hiss~~~' Old Jack and his son got together and sniffed the cigarettes Chen Mo gave them. Even just smelling the nicotine of cigarettes is an intoxicated expression.

After the father and son got together and smelled the smoke for a long time, Old Jack reluctantly found a small box to solemnly collect the cigarettes. There was even a lock on the box. For Old Jack, this was his greatest asset at this time.

"Where do you say this person came from?" Old Jack began to discuss with his son about Chen Mo.

"I don't know. Little Jack's eyes were still on the box with the cigarettes, "But he brought so many good things, it's really enviable." ”

"I didn't see him carrying a bag or something, how did he get those grenades?" Compared to the young little Jack, he is obviously much more experienced, "Also, where is his protective suit?"

"Huh?" little Jack's attention was finally drawn to him, "yes, why is the outfit he was wearing gone?

"Smack!" Old Jack knocked on his son's skull, "There's something wrong with you, who would throw away such a good protective suit?"

"That's hiding. Little Jack said what he thought: "When he was in the sewers before, he walked at the back, and he must have taken advantage of our inattention to hide the hazmat suit. ”

"It's possible. Old Jack nodded, "Wait, we'll take a look." ”

After a pause, Old Jack began to say his thoughts, "This guy is so generous, he must have found a supply point." It is even possible that an underground military base before the war was found!"

"Military base?!" Little Jack exclaimed in an instant.

These survivors, who hid underground after the nuclear war, often went to the surface to find various supplies in order to survive. And among them, military bases are the places that everyone is most eager to find. Because everyone knows that in a military base there will be the most important materials, weapons.

After the nuclear war, the world is full of crises and monsters. Even the survivors are squeezing and killing each other, and at this time, having strong force in their hands is the foundation of everything.

Whether it's to protect yourself or your family, you need weapons. In the same way, whether you want to rob others or bully others, you also need strong force as a deterrent. As a result, weapons and ammunition have become the most desired thing for all survivors.

Decades have passed since the world experienced nuclear war. Nuclear war destroys everything, civilization disappears. The survivors had to live on the surplus of the pre-war world. It's just that these things have become non-renewable resources at this time, and their importance is naturally self-evident. And the value is also rising.

As soon as he heard that Chen Mo might have found a pre-war military base, Little Jack's eyes instantly turned red. suddenly got up and was about to rob Chen Mo, but he was slapped by his old man and quieted down.

"You didn't see him kill so many mutant monsters alone?" Old Jack blew his beard and glared at his reckless son, "Don't you see that he used up more ammunition casually than we used up to rob those ground people when we went out with the group?"

"What then?" For the survivors of this world, robbery is absolutely stress-free.

Under the pressure of survival, they do not know any morality, let alone any concept of respecting the old and loving the young.

Most of the elderly who could not go out hunting were abandoned on the outskirts of the settlements, surrounded by hungry ghosts with red eyes waiting for the old people to die. Even many times the outcasts are not dead yet, as soon as it gets dark they disappear. As for where I went, it was really an indescribable plot.

In such an extremely harsh living environment, robbery and murder are as simple as eating and drinking. There is such a thing as integrity, and people born after the war have not even heard of it.

"We can follow him for a while and figure out how to see if there's a chance to get information out of his mouth. Old Jack quickly made up his mind, in fact he had done this kind of thing many times, "The best thing to do is for us to keep this news to ourselves." ”

"What if I can't get the news?" asked little Jack.

"Then it can't be helped. Old Jack sighed, "If you really can't get the information, then you have to sell his news to the outlaws." ”

People like Old Jack, who are called outlaws, are a group of ruthless people in the true sense of the word. These people kill people and steal goods, rob and set fires, there is simply nothing they dare not do.

Old Jack: When they go to the ground, most of them just catch some mutant beasts or search the ruins to see if there are any good things. If you go up to the sky, you will follow the robbery team to rob the strongholds of the people on the ground or something.

However, these outlaws went directly to rob the settlements of the ground people who had defensive power, robbing and killing people for all kinds of evil. They even dared to rob the committee when the time was right!

Old Jack thought that he had no way to deal with a tough guy like Chen Mo. If he couldn't get the information from Chen Mo, he would sell Chen Mo to those mercenary groups composed of outlaws in exchange for benefits. At most, it's a little bit of soup, but it's better than nothing.

Just when Old Jack's father and son were calculating Chen Mo, Chen Mo was not idle to sleep. After setting up a hidden camera in the rented house, Chen Mo left here and wandered around in the 21st district.

District 21 is actually supposed to be a huge subway station. After decades of excavation, the area has been greatly expanded to the point where it has been linked to the sewer system.

As for the railroad cars in the subway station, it is estimated that they have long been used as raw materials.

Area 21 is like a large ring. The most central areas are armed with handles, and no one can enter except the members of the committee. In the middle is the living place of most people, rows of neat or messy buildings are arranged in a messy manner. In addition to the living area, Chen Mo even found the existence of a red light area and a bar. Of course, these places are very basic.

And the outermost area was the place where the abandoned people Chen Mo had seen before gathered. People who were unable to participate in the hunt for various reasons were abandoned here waiting to starve to death or become food for others.

The whole area can be seen in the light. The core area is brightly lit, and the outermost area is basically dark. The closer you get to the core, the brighter it gets.

Chen Mo could see that the people here had no pursuit at all. Being happy in time and being able to live is their greatest pursuit.

After getting a general understanding of the environment, Chen Mo walked towards a bar where heavy music was heard.

He wanted to know about the nuclear caps, and the bar was the best source of information.
