Hou Ying's sense of hearing is already very developed, and he can already hear voices within a radius of 500 meters. He took Li Xuanyuan to hide in the dark and listened to the situation before rushing forward in a panic, shouting: "Someone Is there anyone alive?! Help! Come on! There are monsters eating people outside!"
He screamed in horror, and was suddenly stared at coldly by many people.
He was startled, rushed up to grab the nearest middle-aged man, and said in a panic: "Brother, what's going on? Can you lend me your mobile phone? I'm calling the police, someone is crazy outside , actually eat... eat human flesh, what I said is true, you can borrow my phone to use it, I can't receive the signal... "
The middle-aged man pushed him away fiercely, "Call the police?! Are you sick! The end of the world is coming, you call the police!"
Hou Ying was terrified and puzzled.
The middle-aged man saw that although he was panicked, there was no despair or shadow in his eyes, and he seemed ignorant of the end times and had no awakening ability, so he kindly informed Hou Ying and his companions about the end times situation coldly. Seeing that Hou Ying's face turned pale from fright, the middle-aged man felt a little more comfortable, and pointed him in a good mood, telling him that the new survivors should go there to register.
The two walked for more than ten minutes before arriving at the survivor registration office.
He was first asked to take off his clothes to check whether there were any wounds on his body, and to measure his body temperature. After that, he was asked to take a questionnaire. On it was a question that intelligent creatures such as one plus one equal to how many humans knew the answer.
Hou Ying thought while filling in the answers. It seems that the situation in Yecheng is better than he imagined. At least there are still people managing the order here, and there are certain rules and regulations. After completing the questionnaire, an information registration form was issued. In addition to basic questions such as name, age, gender, and place of origin, a description column was set up for survivors to fill in whether they have supernatural powers (superpowers).
Fortunately, Hou Ying had communicated with Li Xuanyuan about her situation before, and wrote down her address in Yecheng in the hometown column.
Leave the inspection room with the registration form, and go to the registration window next door to get a temporary ID card.
The registrar's attitude was very indifferent. He glanced at the ability column on the information and saw: None. It turned out to be two trash, and his expression immediately became arrogant.
"What did you do before? I heard that you don't even know about zombies in the last days, so you called the police when you entered the city?"
He spoke the local dialect of Cannes. Hou Ying has been in Cannes for so many years, and he knows the difference between Cannes people and outsiders best, so he also replied in Cannes dialect: "My friend and I have been talking to each other for the past few days. Trapped in a South Island warehouse."
No one noticed that Li Xuanyuan clenched his fists violently. If Qiao Daye and the others were here, they would tacitly avoid Li Xuanyuan, who had already staged a bloody horror movie in his heart, three meters away!
Because the number of zombies near the strange warehouse is too small, Li Xuanyuan, who has already asked Hou Ying why, has learned that the Nandao warehouse, because two couples of homosexuals committed suicide here one after another, so this place has become a place that Yecheng people can't avoid. So wasted. The only kind of people who go to the South Island warehouses are gay people who go there to do unspeakable sports.
Hou Ying was thinking of others implying that she and him, a dead gay, were the same, and he had torn each other's heart! But in fact, he can only swallow his breath and cooperate with Hou Ying, how can he not be aggrieved.
Hou Ying continued: "We had planned to come out a long time ago, but we were scared back by the man-eating monster. Then I suddenly heard a distant sound for some reason, and there were screams outside, it was really scary! Although the movement outside seemed to be quiet afterwards, we didn’t dare to come out, so we kept hiding. We really didn’t have anything to eat today, so we mustered up the courage to run back.”
The registrar obviously knew where the Nandao warehouse outside Yecheng was, and cast a contemptuous look at him and Li Xuanyuan behind him.
He filled in the word hearing in the ability column on Hou Ying's data sheet, then pointed to Li Xuanyuan and said, "You can tell me too."
Li Xuanyuan: "..."
Hou Ying hurriedly said: "This big brother, please forgive me. It's not that he offended you. He stutters and doesn't know how to speak... How about you look at this and let him write it for you?"
The registrar was obviously impatient. Hou Ying seemed to think of something, and quickly searched on her body, and found a pack of crumpled cigarettes. The opponent's eyes lit up suddenly and he snatched the cigarette away, but when he saw that there were only two cigarettes inside, he returned to his indifference.
Hou Ying hurriedly said: "My friend and I don't smoke. Someone left this in the warehouse. I thought I would eat it if I had nothing to eat, so I took it with me. I didn't expect that it was searched when they searched our clothes just now." Now that I'm gone, I kept these two because I begged to honor you. Brother, look, can you make it easier for me?"
Hou Ying salivated to please the other party.
"What's convenient?" The registrar quickly put the cigarettes in his trouser pocket to avoid being seen by others, then pointed to the notice posted on the glass window and said, "Did you see it? If you enter the inner city, each person must pay fifty catties of grain. If you don’t have it, you can find a place in a refuge camp outside the city with your temporary ID card. Then honestly help build the city wall and fight zombies to accumulate points, or you can get a powerful person to take you in, otherwise, hehe , just stay outside!"
Hou Ying's face froze and she became flustered, but she thought in her heart: Sure enough, the social status of supernatural beings and ordinary people has been divided into ranks.
Walking all the way to the registration office, he had already seen a large city wall built two to three kilometers ahead. And the outside of the city is still empty, and it is uncertain when zombies will flood in. Ordinary people who have no abilities and can only fight hand-to-hand, if they do not get the help of the abilities and gunmen, they will definitely die. land!
"Comrade, how can it be like this? My house is inside. It's a house under my name. I can't let me go back? That's right, this is my ID card. You see, it's absolutely true. My family lives at 20 Yecheng North Street. Seventh, you can just let me go back, okay?"
When the registrar saw the address, his face changed drastically, and he scolded sharply: "Don't dream! Is that small villa on North Street suitable for a piece of trash like you?! If you can't pay the entrance fee, get out as soon as possible before dark. You can still find a place to live, if you make trouble here, you won’t know how you will die!”
Hou Ying was impatient, angry, and pleaded in front of him pretending to be a grandson. The registrar listened for a while before coldly snorting: "I kindly showed you a clear way because I accepted your filial piety. You can't go back to that place." , you can’t afford to offend the people who live there now. If you don’t want to die, hurry up and forget about your home.”
Hou Ying almost cried: "How could this happen... Then, what about my family? Have they been driven away? How could this happen!"
The registrar had already heard the tragic deeds of countless survivors, and was completely unmoved by Hou Ying's cries. No matter how much Hou Ying begged, she never asked to help find the local survivors in Yecheng. Get out.
On the way back to the refuge camp in the outer city, Hou Ying had a gloomy face.
Li Xuanyuan watched him pretend to be crazy and act stupidly, and gave up his self-esteem for the sake of his nephew and friends, and the anger of "being gay" in his heart dissipated long ago. Seeing the real situation of the outside world with his own eyes, he already understood why Hou Ying rushed back desperately.
Seeing him sad and anxious, and not good at comforting others, he could only ask awkwardly: "What are you going to do now?"
Hou Ying took a deep breath and said, "Let's take a step at a time. First, go to the refuge camps in the outer city to see the situation, and find out how to find someone. Let’s see if we can wait until they come to us.”
At this moment, he can think of this.
Li Xuanyuan wanted to say something but swallowed it back. Hou Ying didn't seem to have thought about the possibility that his nephews and friends were killed. Li Xuanyuan was worried that he was too hopeful and would be overwhelmed if he failed, so he wanted to remind him to prepare for the worst psychologically in advance, but After the words came to my lips, I found that I couldn't speak them out as easily as before.
It is not easy for Hou Ying to have such an optimistic attitude at this time, so he should not irritate others.
The two bumped into the walls of the refuge camp outside the city several times before they were pointed out to the management office of the refuge camp. With the temporary identity certificate received at the registration office, they took the last seat in the refuge camp.
Bullying is a common problem among human beings. Hou Ying originally had no hope for the seat arranged, but she was still surprised when she got there.
It was in a large tent that was damaged in many places, but it didn't feel cold when you walked in, but it was stuffy because there were too many people inside! The sour smell is disgusting!
Hou Ying noticed that there were more old people and children in this place, only middle-aged people and weak young people who were alone were crowded here like dumplings. But here it was abnormally quiet, the survivors barely communicated, and they just glanced at the two newcomers indifferently, not curious nor planning to have any contact with them.
Hou Ying's hearing was excellent, and she could clearly hear some muttering to herself that appeared to be insane. After listening to a few words, she realized that they were all survivors whose parents and wives had all turned into zombies.
When they found the seat with the opposite number to their own, even Li Xuanyuan, who had been turning a blind eye to the dirty and smelly environment here, frowned.
Seeing that the seats with their numbers written on them were full of excrement, Hou Ying was an ordinary person who loves to be tidy after all, so she vomited and turned her head away.
Li Xuanyuan looked at him solemnly: "Do you still want to live?"
Hou Ying really didn't have the courage, so she led Li Xuanyuan to the management office to apply for another address. After being rejected, she had no choice but to sign up for the work of building the city wall. Taking advantage of the two hours of work before nightfall, she joined the porter. In the queue of sand.
Here, Hou Ying finally heard some useful news.
He locked on an ordinary person who was quick to work and was alone, and he got close to him. Seeing that the other party was not as indifferent as those survivors outside the city, when the work was over, they squatted together with Hou Ying's communication skills. Talked to the other party.
This ordinary person is called Su Fenghe, and he is tall and strong—a little taller than Hou Ying, who is 188 inches tall. Although they also speak Cannes dialect, their accent is a little harder than the soft-tongued Cannes people. It should be the Nandiao group who came from the north to work in Cannes.
Seeing that the two young people had just arrived, they were asking some basic information, so they didn't hide it. From Su Fenghe's narration, Hou Ying concluded the following points:
First of all, there are no more than 30,000 survivors in Yecheng, and less than 1,000 of them have supernatural powers. There were almost 10,000 people in the inner city. Except for the supernatural beings and their families, most of them were survivors who escaped from Cannes and brought food.
Secondly, the factions in Yecheng's management are complicated, but unexpectedly very harmonious, at least so far their decisions are fairly unified.
After cleaning up the zombies around Yecheng two days ago, ordinary people and supernatural beings in Yecheng have devoted themselves to the construction of the inner city wall. The supernatural beings took turns on guard duty during the day, and at night they devoted themselves to the work of building the city wall in batches, while ordinary people were restricted to only one place because of the unqualified construction of the city wall due to limited lighting or exhaustion that was exposed not long ago. Work during the day.
This is the biggest source of food for ordinary people now, and the reward is calculated on a piece-by-piece basis, and the more food you do, the more food you get.
But as Su Fenghe said, for an ordinary person like him, who starts work at five in the morning and ends at six in the evening, he can barely fill his stomach at the end of the day, let alone others. In order to feed the elderly and children at home, some ordinary people can only work desperately. There have been several safety accidents on the city wall due to fatigue or hunger and lack of water.
In the end, Su Fenghe specifically told them that many disappearances and murders had occurred in the shelter outside Yecheng at night, so they must not walk around at night, otherwise, if something happens or they are discovered by patrolling people, they will all end up miserable.
Hou Ying agreed with all her mouth, but she had already started thinking about how to take advantage of the opportunity of building the city wall to find Wang Hehe and Ji Yao.
After Su Fenghe had eaten and left in a hurry, Li Xuanyuan said in a low voice: "Be careful with this man, he has retained his strength."
