Zhao Wenrui doesn't remember when he fell asleep, but when he woke up, he relied on his biological clock and didn't need to be called.

This made the rest of the survival team feel much more at ease, and they felt that if they could wake up on their own routines and prove that their body was functioning properly, then the corresponding injuries were indeed not serious.

Breakfast is relatively rich, with dried meat and pastries per person, vegetable soup and a hard-boiled egg.

During the nap after breakfast, Owen helped Zhao Wenrui check the wound again, and changed the herbs and clean gauze. The next time you deal with it, the interval will not be so frequent.

Zhao Wenrui finished his work, Lucius and the others also packed up, and the group checked the equipment, brought what should be brought, and left the safe house.

The safe house is a transit station, a fulcrum of action, and a temporary shelter for the survivors, and it is said that it used to be shared, 'all for one, one for all', but that is the old yellow calendar of decades ago, in the old saying: people's hearts are not ancient, and now people are not as good as the generation, and they are becoming more and more selfish.

Therefore, the 'scavenging' industry is becoming more and more difficult to do. In addition to facing zombies and beasts, peers have gradually become enemies, and the threat is even higher than that of zombies and beasts, after all, peers are wise and understand this business.

The survival group led by Zhao Wenrui is codenamed No. 5, in Zhao Wenrui's memory, he traveled to this world on the fifth, and this team was also established on the fifth, there are 5 of them, and the first regular task number is 5.

There are so many 5s, as if they are indissolubly related to 5, so the team has such a name, which is also related to the superstition of most contemporary shelter scavengers.

They generally believe that something like this is a sign from heaven that should be complied with, otherwise it is ominous.

Perhaps it is the psychological suggestion that brings a certain self-confidence bonus, and the 5th has been relatively smooth since its inception.

In private, Zhao Wenrui felt that as a team leader, he played an important role. But he also has to admit that No. 5's luck is at least not bad, scavenging this kind of business, sometimes it really looks at the face, not the chief or the emperor, the difference is not a little bit.

This time Zhao Wenrui was injured, and the problem was Emma. The old driver overturned and became pregnant, but neither Emma nor Owen was ready to have a baby, so it was just a common thing in this era.

It is natural to take care of the body, and in order not to leave sequelae, it has to be a full-time job, and there are a lot of expenses before and after. In terms of consumption, most of the people in the Vault have inherited their ancestral habits, and have a flower to earn when they are gone, and Emma and Owen are also in this way.

Usually there is a little money, which is used to enjoy life, of course, in fact, in Zhao Wenrui's opinion, he does not enjoy killing, it is all a kind of money-burning behavior, they call it romantic, and Zhao Wenrui thinks that it is not as cost-effective as eating and drinking from the sea.

Therefore, it makes sense that Zhao Wenrui has always been a single dog.

Like him, only those old drivers who are crazy enough and plan to find a stable meal ticket for their birthday will choose, but if he really encounters that, he still dislikes the nth hand of others.

I don't understand the amorous feelings, and I don't have a good father, so I ......

Life is tight, so I naturally want to make money, but the abortion leads to endocrine disorders, and the eldest aunt does not come on time. Emma was worried that she wouldn't play with her again this round, so she was selfish and lied.

A lie often needs more lies to be rounded, it is just a matter of lying when you are unwell, and it is too hasty to deal with personal garbage, which is a mistake to get out step by step.

And for this mistake, I almost paid the price of my life.

So although this matter has passed, and Zhao Wenrui himself has not cared about the question of whether he should save it, he is still a little angry. Xin said: "This is really a lesson, in the future, whether the team is reduced or replenished, or expanded to recruit people, it will not recruit women......"

Coming out of the safe house, the group suddenly felt a lot more refreshed, the spring was bright, the air was fresh, the eyes were full of new green, and the birds were singing, full of vitality.

However, in the eyes of a traveler like Zhao Wenrui, the bleak atmosphere of the vegetated city with its own large cemetery feels more of a deep sense of sadness and chill than that of the natives.

A hundred years have passed, and the once world-class bustling metropolis, 'flesh' and blood have long been in, and only Sensen's 'white bones' remain.

In the context of no one properly disposing of it, the temperature and humidity in New York determine that thin cotton items such as T-shirts will degrade in about 6 months.

Light woolen clothing can also rot like a sheep's carcass, and if it is in the wild, it will be completely finished in a year.

Heavy cotton wool products such as coats can generally survive 5 years.

Nylon products such as tights, carpets, disposable diapers, etc., take 30-40 years to degrade.

Car tires, sports shoes, and most of the chemically treated leather products of modern times typically take 50 years to degrade.

It takes 80 years to make potato chip packaging bags, instant noodle bags, etc., supported by 'metal-like' plastic film.

So now, New York, which was once extremely rich in materials and like a treasure trove, is really basically only a 'skeleton'. Among them, the skeleton of the building and the skeleton of the vehicle are the most prominent.

Then there are glass products and plastic products, which have not changed much except for being dirty, and they can still be strong for a few hundred years.

However, there is still a lot of valuable stuff to be unearthed in the ruins of the city.

Some are left over from history, such as precious metals. Not only because of their scarcity, but also because of their properties, such as gold and silver, many delicate parts are needed for them, and the mining of raw ore is too luxurious for today's natives, so it is mainly collected by scavenging.

Others are gifts from nature. People retreated into the forest, and the original reinforced concrete jungle gradually became a natural jungle, and because of some elements and environmental characteristics in the urban ruins, some creatures that were not found in the ordinary wilderness were born. For example, the corpse oil fruit, and the pig-nosed mouse.

Although the former is also cultivated in the refuge, the yield and quality of the artificial cultivation cannot be compared with the wild one, and so far there has been no research on the actual difference.

As for the latter, the face of this mouse is highly similar to that of a pig-nosed bat, and its weight is the same as that of a large cat that Zhao Wenrui knows, with an average of 8-9 kilograms.

The hognose rat is a more particular game meat for the people of the refuge, and its grade is almost equivalent to that of venison to modern people. So there is still a good hunting value.

However, Zhao Wenrui still can't get past the psychological barrier to eat this thing, mainly because they, like corpse oil fruits, are bred around zombies.

That's right, one of the most iconic elements of the city's ruins is zombies.

Although it has been discovered that zombies are living longer and longer, the general trend of decreasing year by year has not stopped. The main reason for the reduction is internal friction.

Cannibalism. It is said that the situation is similar to the situation of the zombies after breaking through the shelter, and it is also a large group with an absolute numerical advantage, and a group with a small number of attacks, and then eat collectively, and the gluttony scene is grand. And when the zombies finish eating, the scavengers who deboned and pecked the meat, including vultures and wild dogs, entered the scene, and then pig-nosed rats and the like.

Zhao Wenrui hadn't seen it, but it was chilling to think about it. At the same time, the pig-nosed rats, as the third wave of rice, ate the residues in the residues and the garbage in the water, and Zhao Wenrui seriously suspected that there was a problem with the pig-nosed rat meat.

The statement of the corpse oil fruit is simpler, it is said that under each corpse oil fruit, there must be zombie corpses.

As a group of scavengers, No. 5 is not very special, and this is mainly the case when going out hunting or searching for items.

The reason why the scavengers are looked at differently by the people in the shelter is mainly three points.

The first is the benefits.

As the saying goes, it is better to build than to rob, and in between, is to pick up. If you are lucky, it is entirely possible to get rich overnight.

If you do a big job, you will retire. Such a beautiful vision, the American dream of this era, stimulates the people of the refuge, especially the young people.

Secondly, this profession involves violence and intelligence, which is more compelling.

This is like a modern pilot who chooses one out of ten thousand, the threshold is high, and being able to hold it is a proof of excellence in itself.

Finally, freedom.

For most people in the shelter, the 'house' is a major element of pain and suffering, and the shelter has a few accidents every year where the coat flies itself, which can make the people who grew up in the shelter play the drama of 'not free, rather than die', and how boring and boring the life in the shelter is, you can imagine.

These three reasons determine that the vast majority of waste pickers have a high sense of pride in their profession and identity, and will not hypocritically say: "I don't know the hardships of this industry." ”

No industry is simple, all are exquisite, and it is not easy.

Zhao Wenrui's team does not have a bitter and emotional person, they all know the risks of doing this business, and they are mentally prepared for disability.

However, Zhao Wenrui has a golden finger, and no matter how simple it is, it is also a golden finger.

One of the features is to make every effort and gain intuitive, and that alone is great. After all, the reason why most people give up is often because they don't see positive feedback.

Zhao Wenrui walked in the middle of the team at this time, thinking about a more specific plan of action as he walked, which was his main job.

Walking in the forefront is Emma, she is the eyes of the team, and the ears of the team are old Nick, listening to sound and distinguishing things, is the old Nick's unique skill, this skill is not only based on the accumulation of experience, but also talent, ordinary people can't learn.

In modern times, the medical personnel in the special forces are often chemical weapons experts, after all, Western medicine and chemical weapons are more related, but in this era, in the shelter, the team doctor is often a sniper, because surgeons and snipers need to be careful, calm, and steady.

Owen is one of them, and he is the second-to-last on the team. It is the fire support of the team, and is not responsible for reconnaissance and the development of immediate action plans, which is also different from modern snipers.

Lucius, a black man, was at the end of the line, and he was the team's regular assaulter.

Zhao Wenrui chose Lucius mainly because of his energy and high overall quality.

In Zhao Wenrui's eyes, Lucius is the kind of person who fully brings out the excellent characteristics of black athleticism. And simple thinking and barely passing IQ are also its advantages.

Obviously, this latter point belongs to a typical benevolent and wise man's opinion, and it also exposes Zhao Wenrui's employment style of 'loyalty first, obedience second, and talent third'.

At this point, if conditions permit, it is really not surprising that he embarked on the road of group control puppet.

After secretly seeing the inexorable nature of his own human doppelganger, Cairn realized that this was not one of his major shortcomings.

So a pilot was carried out in the general staff, and the power was greatly delegated to the brain worm to see if it could reap surprises. With this step, the swarm broke the low-key development path that had lasted for a hundred years, and began to show its fangs and claws towards the galaxy and even the entire universe.

However, this is only the early stage, Kane has just given the authority of the three major insect swarms, and the brain worms of the General Staff are excitedly and carefully formulating strategic plans.

As the saying goes, the things that eat the king, the things that are loyal to the king, and the worries of the king, the swarm is not interested in dominating the Marvel Universe, and their strategic plan also revolves around how to deal with the big enemy in Kane's hunch.

The plan they specified, in a nutshell, was to lure the snake out of its hole.

Enemies hiding in the shadows often deliver a sudden and deadly blow. For this reason, it is necessary to lure the snake out of the hole. In order to achieve this strategy, the swarm will be extremely aggressive.

The first target is the Cree.

There's no way, who let the Kree people be the premier interstellar empire in the Marvel Universe now, and if you want to fight, you will fight the strongest, step on its corpse to take the position, and become the new first in one fell swoop.

In addition, the Kree people don't know how to be people, they rely on force and technology to support the field, and more importantly, Kane also has a serious lack of favor for the Kree, so there is nothing wrong with using them as sacrifices for the rise of the swarm.

Over the years, whether it is Kai Shengong or the insect swarm, one of the focuses of the military is to collect intelligence.

Therefore, the swarm can be said to already know the Cree well.

There are currently about 30 billion Cree people, and the swarm means to exterminate 98% of them, and it is mainly aimed at pure Cree people (blue skin), and finally the ratio of blue skin to pink skin reaches 1:5, and the scale is the whole universe.

This also means that the Kree interstellar empire will be completely wiped out, because scattered everywhere, there are more than 600 million Kree who are not part of the interstellar empire, most of which are powder-skinned compatriots who were sold by the Kree themselves.

Considering that once the swarm makes a move, Kane's enemies will spy in the shadows to gather intelligence, the swarm intends to use only the life branch.

That is, the green worm with Bocht as its home planet.

In terms of characteristics, the green worm is the closest branch to the Zeg Zerg in the SC universe, devouring all kinds of resources, and is known for its high adaptability and high reproduction.

This 'authentic' swarm that wins by quantity will launch an all-out attack on the Kree main and core colonies after bursting with a 100 billion war bug number.

If all goes well, the action will begin in four Earth years and seven Earth months.

C Kane's attitude towards this is laissez-faire, he is not concerned with the raid battle, but the performance of the Brain Worm General Staff after that, to see if he can perform better than his overall control, of course, it has to be much better to be recognized by him. Otherwise, this decentralization of the General Staff will not be of much significance.

Zhao Wenrui naturally didn't expect that he would have a pair of super butterfly wings, and his performance actually led to the introduction of a crazy plan to completely wipe out the interstellar empire.

c Kane himself thinks about this matter, and he feels that there is something very intriguing in it: what is grandiose and what is small? For the high-dimensional Kane, is he, like his human doppelganger, seemingly insignificant, but in fact pulling the unimaginable general trend?
