He and the chaotic crowd ran out to watch the meteor shower. At this time, the street radio rang, urging citizens to hide at home and not go out. Then the storm blew up, and billboards and cars on the street were blown away. Zhang Youhai and the chaotic crowd hid in the Qimenxiang Hotel.
They had been hiding for four or five days, but the storm still did not subside. A large amount of gravel mixed with garbage caused the buildings to collapse.
Seeing that something was wrong, someone took the lead, so they dug a tunnel and dug through the Youhui Supermarket next door.
Relying on the food in stock from supermarkets and restaurants, I hid in the underground tunnels for a month.
Many people around him died of starvation, disease, and were even beaten to death.
When the storm stopped, Zhang Youhai, who was dizzy from hunger, walked out of the tunnel and found that the entire city was in ruins. The familiar nesting area was destroyed in the storm.
He and the few survivors began rummaging through the streets for whatever food they could find.
Moreover, he soon met other survivors, including mutants and orcs, and learned that while the cataclysm brought destruction, it also brought evolution. Mutants are evolved humans, some have fangs, some have tails, and some have longer nails. Orcs are similar, except that orcs are not sane and will attack survivors and eat their flesh and blood alive.
At the same time, they also met Iron Man.
The only iron man Zhang Youhai had ever seen was a car repairman who drove a Hummer and took the initiative to drive away orcs on the streets.
The survivors who were rescued by him elected him as their boss and occupied the southern area of Juchao District. Zhang Youhai is also one of the survivors. His daily job is to rummage through the ruins to find useful things and hand them over to the iron man, Wang Gen. Wang Gen is specifically responsible for maintaining order in the south of the city.
Expel the orcs and hunt down the evolved beasts that occasionally sneak in from the countryside—animals that, like mutants and orcs, have evolved.
Life like this is a bit hard, but at least my life is saved.
But not long after, a heavy rain came and the entire south of the city was flooded, many survivors died, and a food crisis broke out. Wang Gen, who was originally amiable, began to impose high protection taxes on the survivors, forcing the survivors to hunt the ferocious evolved fish swimming from Chao Lake.
After the heavy rain ended and the flood receded, another group of people soon came to the south of the city - the Dragon Slaying Group from the main city across the Yuxi River. As for why they were called this name, it is said that they had seen a dragon and were determined to slay it.
There are three mutants in this team, and the boss is called Zhang Tianshen, who is very powerful. He fought several battles with Wang Gen and his gang, but in the end he failed to defeat Wang Gen and was driven out of the south of the city. Unwilling to be reconciled, Zhang Tianshen led his people to settle down in the southern suburbs of the city and began to collect the so-called scavenging tax.
Zhang Youhai inquired and found out that Zhang Tianshen and his gang had done all kinds of bad things in Juchao District, including murdering, raping, and raping, and they were driven out by the fire brigade that maintained order in Juchao District.
Immediately afterwards, another team of mutants arrived, called ANBU. The leader is probably an otaku who was tortured by Japanese comics. He calls himself the captain of the dark forces. His real name is unknown. His subordinates all call him "captain". He said that he wanted to avenge his dead brother and eliminate the Dragon Slaying Group. He has been entangled with the Dragon Slaying Group these days.
…
"There is less and less food in the south of the city, and Brother Wang Gen is urging us to pay the protection tax every day, so we work together to scavenge. Usually after paying Zhang Tianshen the waste tax, he doesn't embarrass us." Zhang Youhai leaned against the wall of the carriage and said, "151" Ten told him all the information he knew.
Shen Cong stood aside, quickly digesting and absorbing this information, and then asked: "What is the origin of the fire brigade in Juchao District?"
"I don't know. There is a river across the bridge, and there are people guarding the bridge. We don't have much contact with the main city. We only know that it seems to be a regular army appointed by Hefei."
"How much do you know about the news in Hefei?"
"I heard from others that the Provincial Military Region is stationed over there, and the army has been retained. Before the heavy rain, the Provincial Military Region sent people to the Juchao area and took away most of the mutants and iron men in the Juchao area. Before I left, I appointed a fire brigade to take charge of the security in Juchao area. After the heavy rain, there was no contact again."
Shen Cong asked again: "Have you never thought about contacting the outside world?"
"This should be a matter of evolutions such as Brother Wang Gen and Zhang Tianshen. We don't even have enough to eat, so we don't have the ability to worry about it." Zhang Youhai said with a bitter smile.
After saying that, he sighed in a very complicated tone: "It's the end of the world. If you are not an evolver, you will live like a dog...even worse than a dog."
Shen Cong ignored his complaints, but silently sketched the form of the nesting area in his mind.
Juchao District is bounded by Yuxi River and is divided into two parts: the main urban area and the southern area.
The fire brigade appointed by the provincial military region is responsible for the security of the main city. The south of the city is basically Wang Gen's territory, and there are two groups of mutants, the "Dragon Slayer Group" and the "Anbu" wandering outside. Most of the survivors relied on scavenging for a living, and paid protection taxes and scavenging taxes to these forces to gain asylum.
At the same time, we also know the personnel configuration of the three forces in the south of the city.
Wang Gen is an iron man, his accountant Tao Daqian is a mutant, Da Daizi is also a mutant, and the others are ordinary people. There are two submachine guns and several pistols, some crossbows, and several bone metal weapons.
"What is a bone metal weapon?" Shen Cong asked doubtfully.
Zhang Youhai replied: "It's a weapon made from the bone gold of evolved beasts... Bone gold is the metal turned from the bones of evolved beasts. Brother, I saw bone gold on your helmet before... Is brother an evolver?"
Bone gold, active core.
Shen Cong immediately understood that they were the same thing, they just called each other different names. Compared with bone metal, Shen Cong feels that active core is more convenient. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that the survivors have mastered the ability of the active core and turned the active core into a bone-metal weapon.
Perhaps the current bone metal weapons made with active cores are not as good as modern thermal weapons, but it is undeniable that in some aspects, bone metal weapons are more powerful than thermal weapons.
…
Wang Gen is the largest force in the south of the city, and under him are the Dragon Slaying Group and ANBU.
The leader of the Dragon Slaying Team, Zhang Tianshen, is a mutant, the second in command, Wu Wenjun, is a mutant, and the third in command, Wang Dong, is also a mutant. They also have about a dozen cavalrymen under their command, including several pistols and bone metal weapons.
"The name Zhang Tianshen is a bit arrogant." Shen Cong made a comment after a while.
Zhang Youhai nodded in agreement and said, "This is a nickname. No one knows his real name."
In TV dramas, people with such names or nicknames are basically minor characters and cannot survive more than one episode.
Of course, the ANBU captain in Konoha Village may not be much worse than Zhang Tianshen. However, according to Zhang Youhai, the ANBU captain who was tortured by Japanese comics has a very strong fighting ability. He is the only mutant in the ANBU, but he can constantly cause trouble for the dragon-slaying team. He is obviously not a loser.
"Is it because of the evolution brought about by activity and the release of inner desires that he calls himself a god and calls himself the captain of the dark army?" Shen Cong couldn't deny this. He was almost always trembling with trepidation and not daring to relax.
Perhaps this is why he is different from other evolvers in his attitude towards the end of the world.
"Brother, I've said everything I need to say. Can you let me go? I haven't picked up enough to pay taxes today." Seeing Shen Cong's silence, Zhang Youhai couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Can."
Shen Cong got the information he wanted, and there was no need to keep him any longer: "I will let you go and give you some supplies later, which will be regarded as the cost of trading information. I will send you to the street later and talk to you The team members are not far away, just stand still and count to tens silently, then call for help."
in this way.
ten minutes later.
The team of scavengers who were scavenging and searching for Zhang Youhai heard Zhang Youhai's cry for help.
Under the leadership of Old Man Li, six people ran over to loosen Zhang Youhai's bonds and took off his blindfold. Old Man Li stared at Zhang Youhai with great dissatisfaction: "Xiao Zhang, what did you do? What happened? Who kidnapped you? Did you meet another scavenging team? We have been looking for you for an hour! Hey, what are you carrying? Is this... the meat of an evolved beast?"
"Shh, stop talking and go back to the camp." Zhang Youhai pulled Old Li and said.
Old Man Li also had a premonition of something, so he immediately silenced the team, and several people subconsciously covered the baggage on Zhang Youhai's back. Dodging other teams of scavengers that might appear along the way, he returned to the tattered tent located in the north of the town.
Old Man Li and others immediately started greeting each other: "Xiao Zhang, tell me quickly, what's going on?"
Zhang Youhai took the time to pat the dust on his sleeves and grinned proudly: "Everyone, I met a noble person today!" As he said that, he slowly spread out the baggage in his arms.
Suddenly, a large piece of steak and a small package of medicine appeared in front of everyone.
"Such a big piece of meat has not spoiled yet!" A female team member shouted immediately, then thought of something again and quickly covered her mouth.
Old Man Li did not look at the steak, but stared at the medicines: "Amoxicillin, cephalosporins, dexamethasone, berberine... these, these, these medicines are all life-saving medicines!"
