Chapter 214: The Weirdness of City D
The size of the entire D City is not very large.
Although it is said to be a city, it has just been promoted from the town.
Therefore, the population of City D is estimated to be less than 1 million people.
It's a lot smaller than some of the larger towns.
But the city, even with a population of 1 million, does not have.
But there must be thousands of survivors.
Now on my phone, I can't see any messages.
made Lu Cheng think that the network was cut off over there, and as for other places, he couldn't see any news related to D City.
It looks like we'll have to go over there and see what the situation is.
Lu Cheng quickly arranged the matter of going to D City, and prepared the relevant itinerary, equipment, etc.
As always, he brought the female zombies around him and Xiaobai to go over together.
Xu Jingqiu: They didn't plan to bring it.
Regarding this point, Xu Jingqiu naturally found him again to protest.
However, for the girls' protests, Lu Cheng is used to it.
And the solution is also very simple, that is, to have in-depth communication with them.
Xiaozhi would have persuaded them with emotion and reason.
Xu Jingqiu is naturally not Lu Cheng's opponent in this regard.
The experience of convincing Xu Jingqiu before, this will make Xu Jingqiu lose again.
Before leaving Central Town for City D, though.
Lu Cheng still finished some basic things about the central town.
The first is to divide the spheres of influence of the various survivor shelters.
It's been a year since the end of the world, and although there are still a lot of zombies in the central towns.
But in survivor shelters, the number of mutants among those survivors is also increasing.
And the strength is not as weak as it was at the beginning.
When their level is raised, the danger that ordinary zombies can pose to the survivor shelter is not as strong as before.
And now among ordinary zombies, the probability of elite-level zombies appearing is getting higher and higher.
At least Lu Cheng got the news from other survivors' shelters.
When they go out to search for supplies now, they can often see elite-level zombies on the streets.
And after these elite-level zombies are killed, just one elite-level zombie can fill 1/10 of the alienation orb.
In other words, almost 10 elite-level zombies can collect an Alienation Orb.
Moreover, Lu Cheng found an alienation orb filled with elite-level zombies.
After collecting and synthesizing, the probability of turning into a higher-level alien crystal nucleus is also higher, which is naturally good news for Lu Cheng.
After all, it's still very good to have a higher-level alienated crystal nucleus.
And in addition to these things, Lu Cheng also went to the ground worm for a trip.
After all, going to City C, it was the Earth Worm who hinted at his past, and if there was any other information, maybe he could get it this time.
And Lu Cheng went over, when he walked to the edge of the ground worm.
The ground worm squirmed with great joy as usual, and there was a snoring sound.
Lu Cheng could also understand that she was saying that she had come to visit her, and she was happy.
But there is no mental connection like last time.
It's a bit of a pity.
Lu Cheng also wants to get more information and intelligence from the ground worm.
But it can't be helped.
After another two days of delay, Lu Cheng quickly took the female zombies and drove his explosion-proof car to City D.
City D is located southwest of the central town, and it is within 100 kilometers of the central town.
It takes about a day to get there by car.
City D is not a big city.
And it's not a distribution center for goods, or a tourist center, or other high-end industries, etc., that can attract people.
On the contrary, it has always been the outflow of people from the cities.
So on the highway, I didn't see too many cars.
This also provided a lot of convenience for Lu Cheng.
Save him, and from time to time he has to stop and push the car that is in the way.
When you arrive at the outskirts of City D, you look at the quiet city in front of you.
Lu Cheng couldn't help frowning.
I've been to other places before, and on the road, I can always see some traces of human activity.
Or a car that fled for refuge.
Or maybe there were corpses around that humans had killed zombies.
Or maybe it's some other mess.
In the vicinity of the outskirts of City D, there are few traces of human activity.
Except for a person not far away with a huge backpack, who was obviously a survivor, who later died and became an ordinary zombie.
Except as he turned around and ran away slowly, Lu Cheng barely saw the appearance of the other human survivors.
Even the survivor base on the outskirts of the city was not seen at all.
It stands to reason that after the end of the world begins, there should be people who choose to rely on the highway to build a base next to it.
Maybe the survivors built their base a little deeper into the city.
Lu Cheng thought like this, but he didn't care much.
Zhang Xiaoyun: They don't care about the survivors at all.
Nor will it consider the complex issues of why the survivors of City D are still alive or not, and why the network has been disconnected.
They just need to follow Lu Cheng well, and Lu Cheng is like a towering tree, blocking in front of them.
However, when there is danger, they will still be the first to step forward, as an important fighting force in Lu Cheng's hands.
Li Xiaoya has not felt any dangerous instincts until now.
So Lu Cheng wasn't particularly worried.
But the skill of danger instinct is also a bit flawed.
For example, someone Lu Cheng doesn't know at all and doesn't have the slightest hostility towards him, so maybe this skill may not be able to be activated.
After all, the condition for this skill to be activated is that it must be a threat to Lu Cheng and them.
And it can only be launched if there is hostility.
But he didn't activate this dangerous instinct, and the skill also showed that there were no such people in D City.
Good news.
Lu Cheng drove his explosion-proof car and continued to go deep into the city of D.
Abandoned cars are everywhere on the streets, and the windows of some shops have been broken.
The goods and goods inside were scattered all over the place, and all the things that could be eaten were taken away.
It can be seen that there were survivors in this area in the past.
However, after walking here, there is still no sign of any survivor camp.
It's a pity that the Internet can't be used in City D, otherwise Lu Cheng would have used the Internet to get in touch with the survivor shelter in City D.
After all, with the help of local natives, you can still get some relevant information.
As for those survivors, will they take the opportunity to attack themselves.
Lu Cheng felt that it was unlikely.
Now his reputation in the neighborhood is still very loud.
The surrounding cities are on good terms with him, and the entire central town is under his control.
D City, a small place, is so much that it can't be thought of to attack itself.
It is estimated that he will attack himself with the front foot, and go back to gather the army by himself, and he will be able to bulldoze the survivors of City D.
Of course, it is not realistic to bulldoze the survivors of the entire D City.
If he was really attacked, Lu Cheng would most likely kill the people who attacked him.
The potential threat is just eliminated.
It's impossible to do such a thing as bulldozing the city, it's a thankless effort.
And after turning around the street, Lu Cheng didn't see any figures.
Zhang Xiaoyun and the others were also a little puzzled, Li Xiaoya walked around the store twice, and when she came out, she couldn't help but ask strangely.
"It's really a trace of a person's activities, there are no ones, shouldn't all the survivors of D City run away?"
"Could it be because the internet is cut off, so they go to other cities?"
"It shouldn't be possible, it's just the Internet, and it doesn't affect their survival here.
And by the end of the day, they should have stored a lot of supplies.
There's no reason to give up your shelter so easily. ”
The girls were chattering and discussing, Lu Cheng looked around, and then said.
"It's just a street search, and the number of alienated zombies here is quite small.
Maybe a survivor came over to clean it up before, so let's take a look at a few more streets. ”
After Lu Cheng finished saying this, the other female zombies naturally had no objections.
Then he and Lu Cheng got into an explosion-proof car and walked around the street.
The entire D City is not very large, but on the road, you can see those wandering zombies everywhere.
Occasionally, I saw some corpses, and judging from the degree of corruption, they were definitely dead for more than two months.
But it's winter, and it's not very accurate to see this kind of thing.
It really doesn't seem like there are survivors in the whole of D-City.
But just when Lu Cheng drove the car to the city center.
I heard the sound of huge zombies roaring in the commercial blocks in the city center, as well as near the community.
I know that there must be a huge group of corpses or corpses over there, and the number is not guaranteed to be more than 1,000 anyway.
Lu Cheng decided not to drive in anymore.
Although he can take the female zombies and retreat in the tide of corpses.
But the explosion-proof car I drove couldn't help it.
Although this thing has also been modified by the Federal Corporation, if you hit a zombie, you will hit dozens of them in a row, and the car will almost be scrapped.
And every time Lu Cheng drives, he is very careful.
After all, this explosion-proof car is not something that can be found if you want to find it.
If you lose one, you'll lose one.
Lu Cheng naturally hopes that he can keep these explosion-proof cars in his hands.
After slowly reversing out of City D.
Lu Cheng was not in a hurry, and went to the city center to look for it.
However, when he was resting outside the city, Lu Cheng still pondered.
I picked up my mobile phone again and re-read the network information of D City two months ago.
Sure enough, there is no network signal in D City, but it is in the information from two months ago.
I didn't see any news of the other survivors of City D who were in danger or distress and decided to move en masse.
Everyone seems to be living quite normally.
As for the occasional sacrifice, or the conflict between the shelters and the war.
That is also within the acceptable and understandable range, after all, Lu Cheng has seen a lot of things from the end of the world to now.
After reconfirming that there is no latest news on the Internet.
Lu Cheng could only decide to sleep around City D for one night.
Then, tomorrow morning, after parking on the outskirts of the city, I will sneak into the center of town to see what is going on inside.
If there really are earl-level alien creatures or alienated zombies here.
Then there are some possible possibilities for haunting the town center.
But in City D, there isn't any property or research institute of the federal corporation or anything like that.
Otherwise, Lu Cheng could go directly to the buildings of the Federal Corporation and look for any relevant information.
After all, above the Count level, LV20 alien creatures or alienated zombies.
Most of them are related to the federal corporation.
A year after the start of the apocalypse, Lu Cheng himself quickly upgraded to LV20 with the ability of the plug-in.
Lu Cheng didn't believe that in this natural world, there were any people or creatures that were faster than himself.
And in the case of not relying on the power of federal corporations.
It is only the federal corporation that relies on the research of the alienated virus in previous years.
There is also the cultivation of those alien creatures or alienated zombies in advance.
It is possible that the level is the same as oneself, or even higher than oneself.
Lu Cheng's idea is indeed correct.
At least now, he is unimpeded when he is in the field.
Even if you occasionally encounter some elite or baron-level zombies.
It's not in Lu Cheng's eyes at all.
Lu Cheng's earl-level zombies have already crushed these alienated zombies that are naturally active in the outside world.
And after deciding to rest for the night, the female zombies also cheered.
After all, coming out to D City like this is no different from going out on a wild trip.
It was impossible for those zombies to come and attack Lu Cheng at night.
As for the zombies of more than 1,000 people, the sound and movement alone are enough, and their voices can be heard from 2 kilometers away.
Don't worry, you'll be attacked.
Lu Cheng didn't even bother to pull the cordon.
And with the existence of Li Xiaoya, if there are survivors who want to sneak attack them, Li Xiaoya can also find out as soon as possible.
After deciding to camp, Lu Cheng quickly set up a tent and a bonfire.
At night, the campfire sparkles in the darkness like a guiding light.
The girls, on the other hand, took the meat skewers they had brought out in advance and began to barbecue.
These things have already been skewered together, and the female zombies, like Lu Cheng, can only eat meat food.
And you can't eat other vegetarian foods.
However, in such a doomsday environment, Lu Cheng still attaches great importance to the quality of his food and drink.
After all, people live for these things.
And if eating and drinking are not guaranteed, the pleasure of living is too small.
In addition to the various seasonings, I also brought out a few bottles of red wine.
Anyway, I don't drive now, and it doesn't matter if I drink or not.
After setting up the barbecue stove here.
Black charcoal was placed in it, and soon the flame was lit.
Then a variety of skewers are added to the stove and grilled.
The smell of meat made Lu Chengdu can't help but move his index finger.
Looking at the sizzling meat skewers, I couldn't help but drool.
And Xiaobai was also looking forward to it, looking at the barbecue in front of him.
Xiaobai can also eat meat, and when those female zombies were laughing and roasting, Lu Cheng was also on the side.
And Xiaobai eats the barbecue in his mouth, but his body is still not honest.
fluttered his wings and flew to Lu Cheng's side.
And Lu Cheng naturally sighed.
For Xiaobai's willful requests, Lu Cheng has never been easy to refuse.
And Xiaobai is also very particular about wearing clothes.
At this time, she tidied up her dress a little, and immediately began to dance with Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng can't help it, who let Xiaobai be his beloved little baby.
The other female zombies, seeing this scene, also had tenderness in their eyes.
These female zombies were originally very eager when they were by Lu Cheng's side.
And there is no way to be satisfied.
Of course, what is said here is satisfied, not that Lu Cheng's ability is not enough.
It's that after they rest for a while, they can immediately get up again.
If you really want to talk about it, these female zombies, discuss with Lu Cheng every day, and there is a mystery about life.
You can discuss it for a few days and nights without stopping.
Anyway, female zombies can survive as long as they eat alienated crystal nuclei.
If you sleep or something, Lu Cheng can also recover through the Corpse King skill.
When you think about it, you really have a sense of anticipation.
Lu Cheng thought that if he could stabilize when he turned around.
Every day, I discuss the mystery of life with these female zombies.
I'm having fun with the female zombies here.
Suddenly, Lu Cheng felt behind him, as if something was approaching.
Soon patted Xiaobai on the back.
And Xiaobai immediately packed up his state and clothes.
Then he looked alertly into the darkness.
Lu Cheng also looked into the darkness, but when the thing slowly approached.
Lu Chengcai found that he seemed to be a little too nervous.
It was just a white wolfdog.
It can be seen that this wolf dog is not infected with the alienation virus.
Wildlife like this is quite easy to see in the neighborhood.
However, this wolf dog was obviously raised by someone before.
There is also a collar around his neck.
It's dirty, and it seems to have been wandering for a long time.
I don't know what this guy eats to survive, should he eat the meat of alienated zombies?
Lu Cheng thought so, then took out a stone and threw it at the wolf dog.
Drive the white wolfdog away.
But when the wolf dog walked away, Lu Cheng was suddenly stunned.
Then he followed the footsteps of the wolf-dog's departure and followed.
The other female zombies also noticed Lu Cheng's abnormality.
followed behind Lu Cheng, and the reason why Lu Cheng was following the wolf dog.
It was also because he noticed that this wolf dog looked quite normal.
The eyes are not red, and the fur is very healthy.
But its behavior trajectory seems to be very different from that of ordinary animal dogs.
If it's a normal stray dog, when it smells over.
You can't just throw a stone into it.
I'll definitely be wandering around the side to see if I can get something to eat.
But this wolf dog walked very decisively.
It's as if you're just coming over to see what's going on here.
And Lu Cheng followed behind the wolf dog, and the wolf dog did not find any signs of Lu Cheng and them following.
It wasn't long before the wolfdog came to the edge of a puddle.
You can see that there is also a small cabin next to the waterhole.
There were some straw and stuff in the cabin.
The wolfdog lived in this hut.
And Lu Cheng followed behind the wolf dog, walked to the side of the wooden house, and then stopped silently.
Because he saw that there were traces of human activity on the edge of this waterhole.
When Lu Cheng confirmed, it was a trace of human activity.
The other female zombies were also immediately alerted.
However, after searching the surrounding area for a while, no signs of human activity were found.
Lu Cheng did not let the other female zombies enter the wooden house.
Disturb the white wolfdog resting inside.
Lu Cheng waved his hand and quietly retreated to the original tent resting place with the other female zombies.
This small waterhole is not very far from the tent where Lu Cheng camped.
I hadn't been here before.
After all, they mainly want to search the city for other survivors.
But no other survivors were found.
Not to mention survivors, not even a survivor shelter in the city has been found.
It's just a few apartments or neighborhoods where you see some rudimentary walls and the like.
Apparently the previous survivors had built it up not long after the end began.
But those small shelters have long since been abandoned.
There were no bodies of survivors inside.
Lu Cheng didn't know what was going on in this D city at all.
And after retreating to the camp, those female zombies started talking strangely.
The main direction of their discussion was the white wolfdog just now.
Why is the behavior so strange, and Lu Cheng listened to their discussions, and then made a plan.
It's very simple, that is, without startling the snake, use your eagle eye skills to track down the white wolfdog.
If it was really because of human control, let the white wolfhound come and probe the information.
Then the person who installed the lurking, most likely, has fled.
Maybe they won't come back.
And what Lu Cheng is to see what the situation is, there is definitely something strange behind the white wolf dog.
Let the female zombies continue to eat and drink as usual, and then go back to sleep in the explosion-proof car at night.
The tent was also put away, so it was better to be cautious if you were not sure about safety.
As for those female zombies, it is naturally impossible to really sleep at night.
Lu Cheng was on the explosion-proof car, and quickly found the white wolf dog through the previous positioning.
Then he released his Eagle Eye skill on the white wolf dog.
In an instant, Lu Cheng's vision returned to the white wolfdog's field of vision.
At this time, what Lu Cheng saw was a wooden house, inside the black wooden house, it was quiet, and Lu Cheng naturally couldn't hear the sound.
The white wolf dog seemed to be sleeping, Lu Cheng knew that this kind of thing had to be patient, and he couldn't be in a hurry.
There must be a secret in that little brute!
(Take a break today, adjust the state, start tomorrow, and work hard for 30,000 days.)
