Chapter 44: Newcomers Join the Team
Half past ten in the evening!
A defensive ring formed by two medium-sized buses and several off-road vehicles in the center of the national highway. It was Zhang Chen who led the team to wipe out the zombie herd, and ran all the way away from the battlefield. On the way, I encountered a water source to clean up the filth on my body and car.
Experience teaches!
This time, the camping place was also in the wilderness, and before stopping, he used his headlights to check both sides, and found no anomalies nearby, nor did he see any buildings in the distance. There are fields on both sides of the road, and there are no zombies.
A few fierce dogs and a number of vigilant beasts are scattered around the defensive circle.
The modified RV is the logistics support of the team, and it is fully equipped with cooking utensils. An incandescent cannon illuminates the night sky. Against the backdrop of the dim lights.
Several folding tables and chairs are spread out like food stalls, and several pots of fruit and melon seeds are placed on them. In the middle are several convenient hot pots, the thick soup is tumbling and a burst of fragrance wafts, Yang Meng, Wu Yun and others are talking and laughing, and there are beef rolls, three fresh meatballs and various vegetables and other foods in the pot.
In the fierce battle for half an hour, a total of seven or eight hundred zombies were killed. Except for Cheng Jun, who was bitten before, who was blown up after becoming a zombie, no one was injured.
It's just a fierce battle, and the physical exertion is too great!
Eating to replenish energy consumption is a good way to restore physical strength.
And the convenient shabu-shabu hot pot is convenient and popular with people at the latest. For example, Jiang Ge's eyes have not left since he got out of the pot from the hot pot base.
He likes to eat hot pot the most, or the numb and spicy one, it's enjoyable! Although he was not as hungry as the Evolver, he still wanted to eat very much.
A few minutes later!
"Come on, come on, everyone eat, eat, and then have special training, there must be wind, there must be meat, there must be hot pot, there must be fog, there must be beautiful women, there must be donkeys, ......"
"Hahaha...... I waited for us to go south and north, stationed at the border, relying on being able to be civil and martial, and different. Not only to eat, drink and have fun, but also to be in the wind and snow. ”
……
Zhang Chen shouted at everyone to move, beef and mutton rolls, meatballs and other food. This is an extremely rare luxury in the last days, and only the high-level of the large base can eat it. In the early stage of the apocalypse, this kind of ingredient is easy to get.
Just like the raw materials of shabu-shabu hot pot are found in the hot pot restaurant in the service area these days, the quantity is considerable, and the food with a short shelf life is not eaten in vain.
Only when you are full can you have the strength to train and fight, and improve your strength as soon as possible and become stronger.
Regardless of before and after the end of the world, Zhang Chen is a ruthless character who walked down from the sea of corpses and blood, although he is approachable and easy to get along with, he knows the cruelty of the law of survival. A person's potential is constantly being tapped and stimulated in a desperate situation!
And now that the end times are coming, high-intensity combat and devil training are the ways to become stronger. Without this willpower, it would be difficult to become a strong person.
Everything is fair, and it is up to you to become stronger or not.
In front of a few convenient tables, people are eating hot pot and drinking cold beer. Exchange combat experience with each other and summarize deficiencies.
Yang Meng, the women's special combat team led by Wu Yun, the situation is similar.
Yang Dingtian, Qin Jie, and Qin Lin were terrified when they heard it, and they were secretly surprised. The team that I accidentally encountered hunted zombies like chopping melons and vegetables.
The courage of the man and the fierceness of the woman have shocked the three brothers and sisters from the beginning to the present!
"Brother Zhang Chen, who are you?" Yang Dingtian asked curiously. It's a bit abrupt, but at least it's important to ask.
"Survivors, people who want to survive in the last days." Zhang Chen shook the wine bottle at him to signal.
"The end times broke out, and there were crises everywhere, and the only way to fight them was to take up arms and fight bravely. Get food, get an environment to live in, all just to live. ”
His words were a little desolate and helpless, and they immediately resonated with others.
"That is, in the last days, if you don't kill zombies bravely, they will eat you."
"It's useless to hide, is it a lifetime? Sooner or later, you have to face it. Who has nothing to do and only knows how to fight and kill, just to live better. ”
"Yes, even eight or nine-year-old children in the base are in special training."
"Damn the last days, you have to adapt to it, otherwise you can only be eliminated."
……
Except for the special combat team members who were on guard on the roofs around the defense circle, eating snacks or smoking cigarettes, the others rested in place and gathered in front of several portable hot pots, eating hot pots and discussing topics a lot.
They are all survivors, bewildered, helpless, and desperate when they are besieged by zombies. Think about it again, now you have to eat and drink, and you have to rely on your own hard work. Kill zombies, collect living supplies, and bravely face and kill tomorrow.
Woman kills hundreds of zombies?
Seven or eight-year-olds are also doing physical training?
Yang Dingtian's action of stretching out his chopsticks stopped suddenly, and Qin Jie also looked up in shock. looked at the people around him, and there was a natural expression on his face.
And Yang Meng, Wu Yun and several other women straightened up, their faces full of murderous anger.
After a while, Qin Jie swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and asked puzzledly: "Leader, I can understand that women join the team, this child should let them understand something, and eight or nine-year-old children also train, right?" ”
"Isn't it too cruel?" Zhang Chen sandwiched a piece of beef and answered while chewing.
"Yes, they're just kids!" Qin Jie's voice was heavy.
"I know that too, but the end times broke out, the world changed, and everyone worked hard to survive. Whether it's women, the elderly, or children. Zhang Chen sighed softly and took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
Originally, the surrounding discussions stopped one after another, but the action of eating hot pot was not slow.
People are just eating and drinking, and the atmosphere is a little dull!
"Qin Jie, Dingtian, do you know how many zombies there are?" Zhang Chen broke the silence. Looking at Comrade Yang Dingtian, I complained about the good name again in my heart.
Qin Jie's outstretched chopsticks stiffened in mid-air, and after a moment of silence, he responded: "It is rumored on the Internet that 80% of people in China and even the world have become zombies. ”
"The specific amount, you say it to the sky." Zhang Feng nodded, and looked at Yang Dingtian again.
"Hua... More than one billion in China, the world's number... Billions. Yang Dingtian's rapid chewing of food stopped suddenly, fear appeared on his face, and he vomited for a long time.
"Billions of zombies, what a terrible statistic, even despairing. And that's not even counting the mutated zombies, creepers, and ironclad zombies. Zhang Chen's face was calm and waveless, and he took a three-fresh ball and stuffed it into his mouth.
His eyes gradually turned cold, and he asked with a smile: "No matter where else, there are less than 200 million survivors in China, except for the old and weak, women and children, tens of millions of young and strong men, facing dozens or hundreds of times more enemies, what is the result?" ”
Although Zhang Chen didn't ask anyone by name, Qin Jie noticed the inquiring gaze. After a little thought, his face was full of uneasiness, and he tried to suppress the emotions in his heart: "People are scattered all over the place, considering various factors, everyone will only face more zombies, and if you don't take measures, eventually the human race will go to extinction." ”
"Perdition! Yes, there is no choice but there is a real result, if you don't work hard, humanity will perish! "Zhang Chen knows better than anyone how terrible the end times are. After a few years, ordinary people can only operate in the base and dare not come out.
Because at that time, the wild was full of monsters, full of crises.
The atmosphere in the field was a little weird, Yang Dingtian touched his slippery chin and said: "Of course, there are no absolutes, although there are many zombies, they can also mutate." But humans also evolve and become stronger. Just like you, Brother Zhang Chen. Awaken the gifted ability, become an evolutionary, and kill mutated zombies like chickens. If there are more and more such people, humanity will stand. ”
Qin Jie's spirits perked up when he heard this, and the sorrow on his face disappeared. With his head held high like a javelin, his voice was low but impassioned: "Yes, as long as we evolve and become stronger and united, we will definitely be able to win against monsters together, maybe it will be difficult in the early stage, but it will definitely endure." We have the wisdom to adapt to any environment and not be afraid of difficulties. ”
"Humans will get stronger, and monsters are nothing to be afraid of. The premise is to unite," Zhang Chen exhaled a smoke ring, and then his expression became solemn.
He thought of the high-level human beings in his memory of intrigue for power and fighting for their own battles, which led to the destruction of the base one after another, and that sense of urgency became stronger and stronger.
Even if there is a hegemony system to help us now, we cannot relax and be blindly confident. Only by keeping in mind the three provinces can we have the motivation to forge ahead.
Humans are the most complex creatures!
Zhang Chen's face was unusually calm, and he glanced at Qin Jie, who was slowing down his movements to eat and drink: "Now you should understand the reason why you have to train since you were a child. ”
"Well, the end of the world is coming, I have to, if you don't face it bravely and become stronger, there is only a dead end." Qin Jie looked directly into Zhang Chen's eyes and nodded firmly.
"Well, so in my iron-blooded base, whether it is an evolutionary, an ordinary person, or an old man, a child, everyone must take up arms and train, and all the people are soldiers, united, in order to survive tenaciously in the last days."
Zhang Chen's voice was not loud, but it was like a hammer smashed into people's hearts: "Fight monsters, build a military base, and protect the last home!" ”
"I am willing to fight with the commander in all directions!" Ji Kaiyu, Liu Fei and other special combat team members shouted in unison. Even if it is deliberately suppressed, the iron-blooded momentum bursts out!
"Chief, our brothers and sisters will only obey your orders in the future." Yang Dingtian looked at everyone's solemn faces left and right, felt the atmosphere in the army, and after glancing at Qin Jie's brothers and sisters, he made a firm statement as a representative.
"Okay, you will be reserve members in the future, and you will join the team for strict special training." Zhang Chen smiled, Yang Dingtian's brother and sister's favorability had already reached 50% in the previous battle, and now it has increased to more than 60%.
For such a person who actively integrates into the team, he naturally welcomes it with both hands.
Yang Dingtian and Qin Jie, Qin Lin officially joined the team, and the others had no opinion. Yang Meng, Ji Kaiyu, Wang Hu and others stepped forward to express their goodwill.
And he showed courage in previous battles, which is also remarkable. Qin Jie has the best physical fitness to attack, and the other two assist from the side. With the tacit cooperation of three ordinary people, they actually hunted more than a dozen zombies.
From this, it can be inferred that the three brothers and sisters killed a lot of zombies along the way, which are worthy of acceptance.
"Boss, I will never be lazy in the future, I will do whatever you ask me to do." Jiang Ge was rendered by this atmosphere, and he was also not to be outdone.
It's just that the next sentence once again reveals the essence of being a foodie: "In order to survive, in order to eat well, I am not afraid of anything." Of course, I will absolutely obey the boss's orders, and this will be for you to eat. ”
Perhaps in order to show his loyalty, Jiang Ge actually handed the half-bitten duck leg to Zhang Chen, and I went to the soup for the boss with a face full of face.
"Keep it for yourself!" Zhang Chen had a dark face and wanted to spit out a rolling word, but when he saw the sincerity on the fat man's face, a smile appeared on his face. The latter immediately retracted his hand with a look of surprise on his face and stuffed the duck leg into his mouth.
"Hey, hey, I knew the boss wouldn't rob me." The fat man muttered indistinctly.
"Damn, this fat man is cunning." Wang Hu and Li Niu muttered in surprise. looked at the stupid fat man, but his heart was secretly wary.
It's really a human being who can't be seen, as long as you're not a fool, you'll be careful.
"By the way, Boss, you should know a lot. This is our brother and sister who went all the way to kill zombies and dug them out of their bodies, what the hell is this? Yang Dingtian took out a few crystals and asked with curiosity on his face.
The size of a thumb, the whole body is aqua blue, like a piece of blue crystal, it seems to have liquid flowing inside, glowing in the night, it is the evolutionary energy!
"Yes, Chief, I'm curious as to why there are crystals in the corpses." Qin Jie patted his head and took out a crystal from his pocket.
It was a walnut-sized black evolutionary energy.
The evolutionary energy that Yang Dingtian and Qin Jie took out was accidentally discovered by them after they were hunted by zombies along the way, and they collected it when they felt that it should be useful. The black crystal came from a tall zombie.
The three brothers and sisters set a trap and finally killed them, which paid off. It's just that the three of them can't figure out what this is, and they have been left until now.
"According to our experience, there is little chance of this thing appearing in the corpse, and after a few days of escape, more than 100 zombies were killed, and a total of six were found." Yang Dingtian explained the origin concisely and concisely, and his face was full of curiosity.
"I feel that it should be the key to evolution, but it is just grinding out of the corpse, and I dare not swallow it rashly." Qin Jie threw away the black crystal in his hand.
Obviously, the three brothers and sisters have done research, but there is no method for the time being.
"It's a good thing you didn't swallow it, otherwise, you would definitely become a zombie." Zhang Chen's brows furrowed and stretched, looking at the evolutionary energy in the hands of the two of them and sighing lightly.
Although evolutionary energy can improve people's physique, the outer shell on the surface is a concentrated virus, not to mention swallowing it whole, licking it will infect the virus. A few years after the end of the world, many scientists have come to the conclusion of research.
Even in the early post-apocalyptic period, many people did not know how to swallow crystals and became zombies.
There are not a few such cases!
Zhang Chen told him what he knew, and Yang Dingtian and Qin Jie's brothers and sisters turned pale. If it weren't for the long time and didn't act rashly, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"This thing is so poisonous?" Qin Jie looked at the black crystal, and his heart palpitated. If it weren't for his cousin Yang Dingtian, I'm afraid I wouldn't be there.
"Then there can be a fake!? You're in luck. Zhang Chen nodded solemnly.
A few years later, scientists determined that the liquid in the crystal was the essence of the virus. To the extreme, instead of being infected, there are unexpected effects.
The direct indication is that it makes people enhance their physical fitness, and the gene chain becomes dynamic and gradually perfected. Ordinary people gradually become stronger until they become an evolutionary.
And this thing is very precious, not the higher the zombie level, there must be. On the contrary, the higher the equivalence, the crystals gradually disappear until they are gone. Scientists have shown that being fused by zombies can speed up their evolution.
Evolutionary energy is the condensation of human beings with life, and it is also the hope of people to become stronger!
