Not far from the entrance of the S city safety zone, there is a large open space, where there are square iron cages about one meter square.
There is a person in each iron cage. These people are male and female, old and young, all with vegetables and ragged clothes, and they are all huddled in the iron cage. It's painful to watch in a small space.
In particular, several of the women even had their clothes stripped off, and shame was second. In this weather, all of them were shivering from the cold, and they would freeze to death at some point.
People walking around will spit at them and show contempt for them.
Qi Jingchen frowned slightly, then quickly lowered his head and pretended to be afraid to hide the disgust in his eyes. Even Shi Kun and the others had the same uncomfortable expressions.
The guide was accustomed to this, and even turned his head to Shi Kun and the others and said, "These are traitors in the safe zone, and they are here for warning."
"It turned out to be a traitor! That's what it should be." Shi Kun said, and when he looked at those people again, there was a little more disgust in his eyes.
The guide did smile slightly at this time, and said again: "It's time, the divine envoy is coming, you all look."
Everyone looked over, only to find that some people in black robes had arrived there, and then five dark guards stepped forward and used iron pipes about the thickness of a finger to pierce the bodies of the people in the top five cages, and they started. bloodletting!
Those iron pipes were tied to the thighs of those people, and the blood rushed out and gathered in the basins.
This scene is disgusting, but the people around are accustomed to it, a god in a black robe also took out a scripture and read: "God will make the blood of his enemies drain, God will make their bodies corrode , God will make them mindless monsters..."
The bloodletting was over, the dark guards pulled out the iron pipes, but the envoy was still reading the scriptures, he was reading, and the people in the five cages turned into zombies!
When the people around them saw this, the atmosphere became even more frenetic. Although the newcomers were also afraid, they were more shocked, and because they were infected by the surrounding atmosphere, a sense of awe rose from the bottom of their hearts.
This is the first time Qi Jingchen has seen the divine envoy.
That divine envoy should be alive, at least sane and not a zombie, but he felt more dark energy than the dark guard in that person.
That kind of dark energy is similar to that of the Dark Guard. It is more complex than his previous life, but it is more pure than that of a zombie... Yao Mengzhi, is this the way to find an artificial dark power user
And the reason why those five people turned into zombies was clearly that the divine envoy sent a little dark energy to them, and what was the blood for
The envoy left soon, and Qi Jingchen was even more afraid of Yao Mengzhi. At this moment, he suddenly felt that Nie Yi was holding his hand and tightened suddenly, and there was a sense of anger from Nie Yi. He was stunned for a moment, and then quickly discovered what was going on—in those iron cages, there were actually two acquaintances!
Nie Yi lived in World S for a long time before the apocalypse. At the beginning of the apocalypse, Ping Shengchao and others followed him, but he still had some friends who stayed at the security base in City S.
After he and Nie Yi established their own security base in the last life, two of Nie Yi's friends came to them and even joined their side.
The two did this for a better life, but after joining the safe zone, they did not want any benefits because they were Nie Yi's friends, and they were very peaceful.
Although Nie Yi's temperament had changed drastically at that time, he still had a good relationship with them. After they became zombies in the late apocalypse, they killed and buried them and erected tombstones.
There were too many zombies at that time. Even if ordinary people turned into zombies, they would only be driven away by Qi Jingchen using coercion, but there was no time to let them go to the ground for safety... Nie Yi would do this, which means that he did not care about those two people. emotionless.
Now, those two people are locked in iron cages and kept like animals... No, they may not live as well as animals. Animals are precious in the last days, and no one will mistreat them. Absolutely neat.
Qi Jingchen also clenched Nie Yi's hand. He didn't know what those people wanted the blood for, but he knew that the two friends of Nie Yi were put here, clearly for Nie Yi to see.
Yao Mengzhi was reborn, and I'm afraid I've been observing them in my last life. Naturally, I know the relationship between these two people and Nie Yi, and now I put them here... This is definitely a thought.
And can they really turn a blind eye
Nie Yi's mood was not stable, but he didn't say or do anything, but Yu Xuguang's face showed a bit of anger, but now that he is a "woman", others don't care.
Everyone quieted down, probably because of being frightened one after another, Shi Kun, who had been greeting Xuguang since they met, didn't dare to comfort Yu Xuguang at this time.
The guide led Shi Kun's team and finally stopped in front of a small villa.
This may not be called a villa, but a three-story small building that rural people generally like to build. There are many people and less land in the south of the Yangtze River. The village will ask the villagers to build the house together, so this house is next to the house next to it. Yes, because a lot of houses were added to the safety zone in S City, and there was a row of newly built six-storey buildings in front of them, which could not even be exposed to sunlight.
Of course, in the last days, no one cares about this at all, and they are already very satisfied with having a single house to live in.
"You stay here, rest well, and the day after tomorrow, you can participate in the ceremony of welcoming the envoy." The guide asked Shi Kun and others to stay, and explained a few more words.
It was at this time that Nie Yi and the others knew that there was a special ceremony for welcoming the envoy.
"What's in your arms?" Just as Nie Yi and the others were thinking about what the ceremony was like, the envoy suddenly pointed at Nie Yi.
Nie Yi was wearing a thick dress, and now there seemed to be something squirming in his chest.
"Sir, it's a monkey." Nie Yi lowered his head as if he didn't dare to look at the man, and quickly took out the little monkey: "I gave it something to eat, and it followed me!"
The guide was a little wary at first, but when he saw that it was really just a monkey, he relaxed. It is quite normal for things like monkeys to follow people when they have nothing to eat.
"Be careful in the future!" The guide said coldly, and soon left, and when the person left, Shi Kun glared at Nie Yi again.
Although his Xiaojiu explained to him that he didn't actually like this ugly man, he still disliked this man.
There was only one "woman" in their team, and Shi Kun generously reserved a separate room for her, and then Nie Yi, Qi Jingchen and four other people from the safety area of City B had to squeeze into one room. inside.
Nie Yi was a little dissatisfied with the fact that he could not live with Qi Jingchen in the two-person world, but he endured it in the end, and thought about it carefully, it would be beneficial to do so, and it would be much more convenient for them to discuss things.
However, given the current situation, they definitely couldn't call Yu Xuguang... lest something happen to the jealous Shi Kun.
"It's not something that can be done overnight in the S city safety zone. The people who came to the S city safety zone didn't find anything unusual?" Qi Jingchen used his mental power to observe the surrounding situation, while stroking the little monkey, and gave it back. It's a small tomato seed.
The little monkey planted the little tomato in the flower pot and started to activate the ability. After a while, the tomato in front of it grew bigger and bigger.
"In the past, the pilots who came to the safety zone of S City were all picked up as soon as they got off the plane. It is estimated that what they saw was just what they wanted to see." One of them said with a wry smile.
The other person also nodded: "I came here once. At that time, I only thought that the management of the S city safety zone was good, and I didn't think much about it at all, and I only stayed for one night and then hurried back."
When Qi Jingchen heard this, he frowned slightly and his expression was solemn. He was dressed as a teenager. It was funny to look like an old man, but no one laughed.
Before coming, whether it was Nie Yi, Qi Jingchen, or people in the security zone of City B, they all planned to first come to detect the situation. Nie Yi even thought about whether to assassinate Yao Mengzhi.
But the current situation... The matter is so serious, which is completely unexpected to them, and Yao Mengzhi can make such a big battle, I am afraid they have already prevented their assassination.
With a heavy heart, a small tomato was suddenly stuffed into Qi Jingchen's hand. When he lowered his head, he realized that the little monkey had already ripened the tomato. The tomato was covered with small tomatoes and continued to grow.
Nie Yi used his ability and quickly put away the ripe tomatoes. The little monkey was in a hurry, worried that he would not be able to eat it. The small tomato eats the stomach.
It looked a little funny, but no one could laugh.
"This kind of place should really be blown up with a bomb!" said an earth-type ability user who came from the safety zone of City B. He had been very calm before, but now he is indignant: "The one who was locked in the iron cage before. , have children! Children!"
He was very angry, but after he finished speaking, he sighed with a wry smile, because he knew it was impossible.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, for fear that the appearance of zombies and then launching a war would lead to the rapid demise of human beings, a convention was circulated around the world. According to this convention, human beings cannot use large-scale hot weapons to destroy other safe areas. .
Later, worried about the deterioration of the environment, this agreement added another clause, not to use bombs like nuclear bombs to destroy cities, even if the city has been occupied by zombies.
Even if the city is destroyed, there are still many zombies around. Excessive use of bombs will worsen the environment... Radiation, dust and other things have no effect on zombies, but they can kill humans.
In this case, it is naturally impossible for the safety zone of city B to send a plane here to drop bombs... Of course, even if there is no such convention, the safety zone of city B will not do such a thing, after all, there are so many ordinary survivors here , they can't blow up all the people here because Yao Mengzhi created a cult.
Let's just say this earth-type ability user. He said this because he felt sorry for the child. In this case, how could he watch the child and other children in the S city safety zone being bombed to death
"Let's take a look at the situation first, and then think about countermeasures." Qi Jingchen said.
Hearing Qi Jingchen's words, the earth-type power user suddenly said: "You... do you want to get a light god sect?"
Although this dark religion has perfect teachings, most of the human beings are surrounded by such darkness, I am afraid that most of them will yearn for the light.
Qi Jingchen raised his eyebrows, his heart moved.
But before he could think about it, he suddenly said, "Shi Kun is here."
Shi Kun did come, he came to find Yu Xuguang to go shopping. It is said that there is a very lively market in the S city security base. It is most suitable for outsiders like them to go shopping. Qi Jingchen and others burned the tomato tree and opened the door. I saw Shi Kunzheng and Yu Xuguang talking at the door of the next room.
"I'm not going." Yu Xuguang said with a cold face. He used his ice-type ability to move his hands and feet in his throat, and his voice changed. Although it was not very clear, it was already the same as his original voice. completely different.
"Xiao Jiu, it's really fun there, and there are all kinds of delicious food, are you sure you don't want to go?" Shi Kun said: "There are all kinds of snacks there, I have my hands to eat barbecued pork, custard and stinky tofu. , are very delicious."
In the end times, the temptation of food is very great, but Yu Xuguang is a person who will not be easily tempted: "I have no appetite."
"Shi Shao, where is the market? Can we go and have a look?" The soil-type ability user asked, "We haven't seen the market in the Great Security Zone yet."
"The market is not far from here." Shi Kun casually said, and then looked at Yu Xuguang again: "They are going to the market, are you going?"
"Go." Yu Xuguang said with a frown, he didn't want to go, because he couldn't accept the current situation in the S city safety zone and wanted to calm down, but after seeing other people at this moment, he suddenly remembered that he I didn't come here to play, but to investigate the situation here.
In this case, how could he hide in the house all the time without going out
Shi Kun took Yu Xuguang and left, ignoring Nie Yi and others, but fortunately he did not forget to let his subordinates tell Nie Yi and others the location of the market.
Hanging the ID card they got at the door before, around their necks, and bringing their supplies, Nie Yi and the others walked to the market.
The market is really not far away, and it will be there soon. This is a long street. There are shops on both sides of the street at the entrance. They sell food or buy various things. If you go inside, there are street stalls on both sides of the road. There were a lot of people setting up stalls to sell things, and at the same time, some people in work clothes in the security area of S City came and went with their dark guards, watching all the time.
Back then, when Nie Yi and the others were hunted down by the dark guards, they thought that even if there were such things, there would not be many, but now in this situation... more than that? Simply very, very much!
If there is no accident, the dark guard should be made by Yao Mengzhi with a living person. When she does such a thing, the people in this safe area turn a blind eye
When Qi Jingchen was thinking of this, he saw that many people looked at those ability users with dark guards in admiration, and some people shouted slogans from time to time.
He suddenly felt that he was a little stupid, and he actually wanted to try to figure out the thoughts of some cultists... In the past, some people who believed in cults would commit suicide together in a group...
Beside Nie Yi, Qi Jingchen carefully observed the surrounding situation with his mental power, and then walked forward slowly.
Nie Yi knew that Qi Jingchen only ate the food that he had purified himself, and it was impossible to purify it in public here, so he did not buy anything for Qi Jingchen, but looked at the clothes and other daily necessities that were laid out, and wanted to find out if there was anything in it. What Qi Jingchen needs.
"Down jacket, brand new down jacket, sold at a bargain!"
"Painkillers, two painkillers for half a catty of grain!"
"Milk powder, imported milk powder!"
…
Many people were shouting, and some businesses that were about to disappear also appeared. For example, an old man was repairing shoes on the street.
It was so lively outside that the little monkey in Nie Yi's arms couldn't help sticking its head out. Nie Yi didn't stop it, and let it roll its eyes to look at everything around it.
While walking, Qi Jingchen suddenly stopped beside a stall. Although Nie Yi didn't know what he was going to do, he stopped.
The stall owner of this stall is an old woman. She sells miscellaneous daily necessities. All kinds of bottles and jars are stacked together, crowding the small area in front of her.
There is a stall fee for setting up a stall here, but looking at her appearance, she should have rubbed a small corner on someone else's stall to sell something.
Seeing Nie Yi and Qi Jingchen coming over, the old man looked surprised: "What do you want? It's cheap."
"Let me see." Nie Yi squatted down, and Qi Jingchen squatted down behind him with a shy look.
"My aunt's family used to open a grocery store, mainly selling tableware and chopsticks. These are all new. You can choose carefully." The middle-aged man who let the old man occupy a corner of his booth said.
"We know." Nie Yi said again.
Nie Yi has now restrained his aura and looked inconspicuous. The middle-aged man looked at him and stopped being wary. He greeted other guests, not to mention the old woman, who was particularly enthusiastic: " One or two grains can be exchanged for the same thing, more options can be cheaper, and some small things can be cheaper.”
Nie Yi heard the words and slowly picked it up.
He chose a stainless steel thermal water bottle, a plastic lunch box, and two knives for western food: "How much are these?"
Stainless steel thermal water bottles are still very popular in the last days. After all, they are well sealed and can be carried with food, but lunch boxes and knives are not very valuable.
The old woman's face was slightly hesitant: "Is it ok for three taels of grain? Is there any softer grain? I have a child at home."
Nie Yi thought for a while, then took out two packs of compressed biscuits and gave them to the old woman. These compressed biscuits were taken from Yu Xuguang and others, and they were just right to eat them after soaking them in water.
A pack of compressed biscuits is two taels, and two packs are four taels. The old woman hurriedly said, "I have a clean knife, and I will separate it for you."
"Dad, I want this stone." At this moment, Qi Jingchen suddenly whispered, and then looked at Nie Yi eagerly.
Qi Jingchen looked at Nie Yi with such an eager look, and even though he knew it was just made, he still had the urge to pat his chest and express that whatever you want, I will give it to you.
The monkey in his arms rolled on Nie Yi's chest, making Nie Yi calm down a bit, he took a deep breath, and then said to the old woman, "I'll give you two biscuits, and I want this stone too. ."
"Okay." The old man nodded again and again, the smile on his face could not be covered at all.
This stone was picked up by her to press down the newspaper that was thrown on the ground. Although it looked pretty, it was just a stone. It was definitely a great thing to be able to exchange one or two grains!
Nie Yi saw Qi Jingchen put the stone in his arms. Although he didn't understand what Qi Jingchen was doing, he didn't ask any questions on the way. He stood up and planned to continue walking.
Just then, there was a sudden commotion near the market.
A man pulled a woman's hair, dragged her out of the house, and dragged her to several patrolling power users, still shouting: "Sir, my lord, I want to report! She is a heretic! No Believe in the Dark God!"
The woman's clothes were all torn, her face full of fear, and she kept begging for mercy: "Brother, brother, you let me go... I didn't believe in the dark god, really didn't... "
