Chapter 65: United
A wall around the bustling area of Hefei city center is built high and thick, so it blocks the invasion of monsters and death tides, and the wall is also made extremely smooth, even the monsters that are good at climbing can be difficult to climb.
But at the same time, it also blocked the hope of foreign refugees trying to pour into the city, and far away, I saw groups of people who seemed to be wandering in the streets and alleys outside the wall, every time they looked at the wall, they all sighed bitterly and deeply, and some even scolded the wall.
I think it's very similar to what happened in the train station, where you can live when you get on the train, and if you don't get on the train, you want to drag the people out of the car or even overturn the car to vent your anger that you can't survive.
"These guys have been holding outside the wall for a day and a night, and they're going crazy, let's not come close." Wei Yu muttered, drove the car directly to the parking lot of a building outside the wall, and led us to the top of the building.
"What are you doing here? How to get in? I asked, looking at the fence dozens of meters away, because the smog is so deep that helicopters are hardly used after the apocalypse.
"Hey, voila." Wei Yu raised his hand and shot a signal flare into the sky, and after a few minutes I was speechless.
Inside the wall, a huge crane poked its head out, and the hanger alone was at least fifty meters long, slowly reaching towards us.
"Huh, isn't it? High-tech not? Wei Yu laughed and said, I nodded with a smile, it is indeed very good, this crane is estimated to be used to build a 10,000-ton ship.
But at the same time, the refugees outside the wall also saw this scene, and the black pressure rushed towards us, like a swarm of ants frantically rushing towards a grain of rice, and even when we had just climbed the hanger......
Bang, bang! Several bullets hit the hanger, and Fang Min screamed in fright.
"These guys actually shoot!" My eyes are red, do you want to do this? There is no alienation to sow discord here, these shots are entirely because of the evil of human beings themselves.
It was a burly man, who looked five big and three thick and vicious, standing below and scolding, and wanted to change the magazine to continue after a few bullets, but a whistling stopped him.
Bang, the man's head exploded, blood and brains spewing out like a fan, it was a sniper bullet that hit the temple and came out of the wall.
I looked at Wei Yu blankly, he didn't speak, just smiled coldly, that means obviously, even if this kind of guy lives, he will waste food, and even hurt others.
Some villains, in peacetime, we can punish them with the law, throw them in prison or try to persuade them to reform, but in the apocalypse, maybe a shot is the only way to go, and no one has the energy to build a prison for him.
At the same time, I feel that this is what Chen Kai said, the reason why the wasps act unscrupulously and viciously, although sometimes it is not wrong.
As the hanger was moving slowly, I looked at the pool of blood on the ground, and saw a small hand reach in and pick up the pistol, it was a boy of thirteen or fourteen.
I don't know what he picked up the pistol for, hoping it was just to protect himself and not try to hurt other people like the villain before him.
I was completely stunned when I got on the wall, not the scale of the wall, just like Wei Yu said, from the height of more than twenty meters, the wall is still a little thin at the moment, and it is constantly being reinforced.
What stunned me was the speed of construction, almost every minute and every second I could see the changes, and it was being built layer by layer at a speed visible to the naked eye, Wei Yu smiled and said that if the builders and construction teams before the end of the day saw this scene, they would definitely have low self-esteem to death, and it would take three or five years for that group of scum to build a residential building.
It's no wonder that the pre-apocalyptic construction team only needs to make money, but at the moment, they are competing for time with death and all the monsters outside the city.
Inside the wall, I was stunned again, it was a crowd of construction workers who were like a tide of black pressure, and on just one wall, I saw the shocking scene of tens of thousands of people working at the same time, and there were some wasps in black who were in charge of supervising the work.
Several cranes are constantly transporting building materials to higher places, and relatively low places are completely carried by manpower, and the sweaty brick movers remind me of the scene of the Great Wall built during the Qin Dynasty.
Truckloads of masonry or pulling or pushing, and even many people directly carried dozens of bricks and stones to climb the wall with difficulty, and those people even deformed their backs, but they still gritted their teeth and held on.
In the crowd, I saw a thin figure, at best ten years old, carrying a few bricks and stones desperately to climb the city wall, I grabbed Wei Yu and pointed at the child.
"Damn! Such a young child, who specially asked him to move bricks, get out of Lao Tzu. Wei Yu shouted at a group of black-clothed overseers, and said, "Go and arrange a relatively easy job." ”
Notice that he didn't let the kid take a break, and there was no way to play, just a relatively light job.
Everyone wants to live, so everyone has to sweat to survive!
In the crowd, I also saw a fat man lying on the ground moaning, as if complaining about the hardship, as if he didn't want to do it anymore, and several black-clothed people with wasps immediately walked over, punched and kicked, and beat the fat man screaming again and again.
This time, I didn't ask Wei Yu again, because I understood.
In times of peace, there are a lot of moths in society, and they are also afraid of hardship and tiredness, and they want to receive social assistance all day to survive, but this is the end of the world, if you don't do your part, why live in the wall?
"Whining." Wei Yu said disdainfully: "The boss is polite enough to these people, although the work intensity is high, but they only need to work six hours a day, and the refugees in the city take turns to work in four shifts, why do you complain?" What is the old man's struggle outside the city for days and nights? What is it that Lao Tzu's subordinates died thousands of people overnight? ”
Nodding silently, in fact, I also feel that those people in black were beaten too politely, if it were me, they would be thrown out of the wall directly, and someone who was willing to endure hardships and stand hard work would come in!
"This wall is only more than 20 meters now, and the BOSS said that it is best to build more than 50 meters to be safe enough, and it is necessary to build three parallel towers to be strong enough, and then slowly extend outward, build a second one, a third one, and slowly expand the sphere of influence."
Wei Yu kept talking, praising the great exploits of a certain boss, but I looked at the wall, but felt that it did not belong to a certain person, but to ...... It's called unity!
After getting off the city wall, Wei Yu found a small jeep to drive and took us into the city, and at the same time pointed at Chen Hui and said to me: "This guy is what you want to bring in, so you'd better watch him twenty-four hours a day, otherwise you'll ......"
"I understand." I nodded vigorously and patted Chen Hui on the shoulder, from this moment on, we are inseparable friends, but Fang Min, the third party, makes me very depressed, or rather, I am the third party between them.
On the streets, I felt like I had returned to the pre-apocalyptic city, with the streets and alleys full of people, and a few stalls set up on the side of the streets, not selling goods, but handing out some cold clothing and food.
It's gruel made from compressed biscuits and instant noodles, and some green vegetables, hmm...... Not vegetables but cacti and aloe vera, sad apocalyptic food.
"The food in the city is barely enough, and the surrounding cities that have been cleaned up, we have brought in food." Wei Yu said proudly: "So here, as long as you are willing to join the wasps to work for us, you will basically be fed." ”
"But those guys outside the city can't let them in, and that's a bunch of locusts that will eat everything up as soon as they enter the city."
I nodded and didn't speak, just clenched the crystalline in my hand.
The streets were quite lively, because the power plant was still working, so I even heard a retro song playing in a video store, Teresa Teng's stroll through life.
Even, I saw a movie theater, although it was being demolished, and all the bricks and stones were sent to the city wall for construction, Wei Yu sighed and told me that the movie theater was his best memory, and almost every few days he would take a girl to the box to cheat.
This skinless and faceless thing!
There is still smog in the city, but it has become much thinner, and Wei Yu said that this is because several giant purifiers in the city are constantly working, and at the same time, they have begun to find ways to purify the water these days.
Our final destination was a government building, and it's hard to imagine how officials would react if they knew that their offices were occupied by a group of underworld elements.
But there are no officials to speak of here, basically except for the internal high-ranking of the Wasp, all of them have been sent to the bricks under the city wall, including the director of so-and-so, including the secretary of so-and-so, if they are still alive......
"Cao Yang, where are you going to go first? Brother Bingwang is estimated to be still recuperating from his injuries, so I'm going to meet the boss first, do you want to go together? Wei Yu asked, pointing to a luxurious office upstairs.
I wanted to agree, but I suddenly frowned and pulled Wei Yu to the other side.
"Let's go meet the scientist you said first, your boss is not suitable to be disturbed now." I said with a strange expression.
It was an office that looked like a five-star presidential suite, with everything in it, a few luxurious sofas, and even a bed large enough to seat ten people.
On the bed, a naked man was squinting his eyes and enjoying it, and beside him, six beautiful star-like women were waiting, and one of them was sitting on the man's waist, moaning constantly.
This is the scene when I first saw the Wasp boss, although he didn't see me, and he didn't know that I was secretly observing him with my senses.
It was this scene that made my first impression of him very bad, and all Wei Yu's previous praise was in vain.
Originally, I really wanted to see this hero, but I didn't expect it to be just an obscene and luxurious emperor.
