Chapter 102: Ordinary People
Ling Han, a man from an ordinary background, an ordinary-looking major, majored in finance in college, and became a small white-collar worker after graduation, if there is anything unusual about him, that is, he was very lucky, he made a beautiful local in Shenzhen, and after talking for two years, he married each other and gave birth to a lovely daughter.
It can be said that if nothing else, Ling Han will have another son with his wife, raise the two children to adulthood, watch the two children start a family, and then help their son take care of their grandchildren, and finally die and enter the crematorium for cremation, this is their life, and it is also the life of most ordinary people.
It's just that no one would have thought that the end would come so suddenly, Ling Han's family is relatively good, his wife and daughter and father-in-law and mother-in-law are fine, but he contacted his hometown parents as soon as the end broke out, but failed, he knew that his parents should have had an accident.
There was no time to grieve at all, Ling Han led the family to rush out of the house, mainly because his family did not have much food in stock, if he didn't go to the official base earlier, the family would starve to death in the future.
It's just a pity that Ling Han's family encountered a crowd of mutants on the road, and their family could only rush into a food company's freezer and hide, fortunately they hid in the freezer, otherwise they would definitely be eaten by the mutant crowd.
The food company's freezer is divided into two rooms, the outer room is larger and the inside room is large enough to store a large amount of canned food.
It is also relying on the food in the freezer that Ling Han's family can be said to be much better than the average survivor of the apocalypse, the outer gate is a thick iron door, and the inner room also has a door, so there is no danger for Ling Han's family to hide inside.
However, Ling Han's family naturally knew that it was impossible to hide inside for the rest of their lives, and before the extremely cold weather arrived, Ling Han climbed out of the ventilation tunnel and did not go out of the gate, this was because there were a large number of mutants blocking in front of the gate.
Little by little, they collected warm clothes, cold materials, etc., from the outside, and in this way, relying on the food in the freezer, Ling Han's family survived the most chaotic days in the early days of the apocalypse.
In order to ensure that he did not cut off contact with the outside world, Ling Han would often venture out to the underground world, especially the trading market of the official base, to exchange some supplies, or to inquire about the latest news.
Ling Han naturally heard the rumors of the Hope Base, but he had the same idea as most people, that is, the Hope Base like Xanadu should be a lie, there is no such a good private base, after all, they don't know the conditions of the official base, many survivors would rather form a small team to survive by themselves than enter the official base.
Not only because the official base attracts mutant beasts every day because of the large number of people, but also because the living and eating conditions of the official base are really not very good, and many private teams feel that they are more comfortable outside, so they do not join the official base.
Just like a family like Ling Han, they are lucky enough to occupy a freezer, and the food in it can be enough for their family to eat for three years according to the quantity, and if they save a little, they can eat for five years.
It's just that Ling Han and several adults think that it is impossible for them to stay in the freezer for a few years, and their daughter is only five years old, and her daughter needs a partner and needs to be educated, so that it can be conducive to her daughter's growth.
Originally, if the official base opened a school, even if part of the food in the freezer was donated to the official base, Ling Han and they would join the official base for their daughter, but the official base did not open a school for the children to receive education, which may be that the official has to deal with those endless mutant beast attacks every day, and there is no energy to organize teachers to educate the children.
On this day, as in the past, Ling Han carefully avoided the mutant monsters he encountered along the way, speaking of which, the sewers and underground subway passages were much safer than those on the ground because they were often cleaned up.
Ling Han's company canteen where the cold storage was hiding had a sewer pipe leading directly to the sewer, and Ling Han left the cold storage vent to reach the canteen, and then drilled into the canteen through the canteen sewer pipe and went down to the underground world.
Because he was wearing an infrared night vision device on his head, Ling Han could see things, but he was not used to it at first, and he got used to it after wearing it for a long time.
Solved a few mutant cockroaches on the road, each mutant cockroach was the size of a pre-doomsday cat, but Ling Han still solved them relatively easily, and dug out the crystal nuclei on their bodies, only the size of soybeans, similar to the crystal nuclei of mutant mice, for ordinary people, mutant mice and mutant cockroaches are the main source of their crystal nuclei, and they can also use these crystal nuclei to become stronger, and even exchange for some materials.
It can be said that it is precisely because of these relatively weak mutant beasts that ordinary people can survive, Ling Han has devoured a lot of these crystal nuclei, but what disappointed him is that he has not become much stronger, his qualifications should be very ordinary, some ordinary people have better qualifications, and the physical fitness that will be improved by swallowing the same number of crystal nuclei is much better than that of ordinary people.
That's right, the qualification is the official news, and the degree of enhancement that each ordinary person gets by swallowing the crystal nucleus is different, and the better the qualification, the better the enhancement effect, and the limit of the daily swallowing is also more than that of the average person.
As for the evolutionary, it is another level, no matter how good the qualifications of ordinary people are, they are far inferior to the evolutionary, and some evolutionaries have also awakened special abilities, such as the ability to control fire, earth, metal, etc., these evolutionaries are officially called awakened people, and those who have not evolved special abilities are called enhancers.
On the way to the official trading market, I also met some survivors, but everyone was silently dodging, in the apocalyptic world, the most lacking between the survivors is trust, no one knows if the other party will stab each other because of a piece of bread, or a crystal nucleus, in addition to their own relatives can be trusted, other strangers are basically difficult to trust.
Ling Han didn't meet someone who was smiling in front of him and stabbed him in the back, he himself was injured because of this, but after killing the other party, he completely adapted to the rules of survival in the apocalyptic world, that is, if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, and if people want to turn against me, then fight hard.
Coming to the official trading market, the stall vendors inside did not decrease much, it was still the same as before, Ling Han exchanged the crystal nucleus for some useful things for himself and his family, and finally exchanged a relatively large crystal nucleus for a box of anti-inflammatory drugs.
Medicine is the most popular thing in the entire trading market, and the number of boxes released by the official exchange center every day is only a few boxes, so it can be said that there are more monks and less porridge.
"Did you hear that?"
"What's the matter?"
"It is rumored that the Hope Base has also built a trading center, as if it can be exchanged for a lot of things there, and it is hoped that the base will also recruit eligible survivors to join them."
"Oh, is the base really as good as it was rumored?"
"Really, one of my classmates joined, and I heard that the conditions inside are a hundred times better than the official base, and living in it is not much different from before the end, or even better."
"It's a lie, isn't it?"
"No, that classmate of mine won't lie to me, I'll go there later."
"Okay, I want to go too, let's go together."
"Let's go."
When Ling Han heard the conversation between the two, his heart moved, if the Hope Base was really as good as they said, then it would be the best choice for their family to join the Hope Base.
Would you like to check it out? Ling Han thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth to take a look, if he hoped that the base was really that good, he would lead his family to join no matter what.
