In the apocalypse, the weak will eat the strong and the fittest will survive.
Gangs like the Wild Wolf Gang are legal in this era. Ordinary people cannot fight against such behemoths composed of "evolvers", and players are not in the mood to focus on these people. .
Of course, among them, it is not ruled out that every gang that has established a foothold has the existence of the so-called Chosen One behind it...
In this doomsday town, there are no so-called laws and regulations. It is expressly prohibited and there are only two laws that will impose penalties if discovered.
One rule is that it is forbidden to kill people in public.
This rule seems to protect the weak, but in reality, as long as you don't commit crimes in the street, it will be fine. Every day, dozens of tramp corpses will be found in dark alleys, but who will go there? Do you care about this
And the other one... is that it is forbidden to eat human flesh.
In this era, the shortage of food is always a big problem. In order to fill their stomachs, there are always some people who take desperate risks. It is not uncommon in this era to include humans on their diets.
- Among the homeless people who died silently on the roadside, it is not ruled out that they were regarded as a source of "food".
Unlike the previous rule, which was relatively loose, this rule is a ban.
Once discovered or reported, all those involved will be sentenced to death.
Of course, those people will not be killed so simply, but will be included in the ranks of cannon fodder, which is an ending even more miserable than death.
To lure large-scale invading monster groups away from the surroundings of this small town, or to use them as consumables to test the characteristics of a new monster, or to fill the stomachs of some monsters with huge appetites... These are cannon fodder. task.
From the time they ate human flesh, they no longer enjoyed human rights and existed only as consumable items.
-These are all the rules that must be followed in this small town, and other things are not taboo.
If you want to divide the people in this town from high to low, then those who stand at the top are naturally the chosen players, followed by the so-called "evolvers", and then those who have opened shops. The Chamber of Commerce in the background, then those with special skills like Bai Zhi, and then the hunters, ordinary people... and the homeless at the bottom.
This is probably the most superficial division.
The title of hunter is not as glamorous as it seems on the surface. Although there are some evolvers among the hunter group, most hunters can only be called scavengers.
They explore the surrounding areas of the town every day, using their experience and lives to search for valuable items. At the same time, they also bear the responsibility of assessing surrounding risks and exploring surrounding information.
The only advantage compared to ordinary people is that they can eat enough, but just for this advantage, most people are willing to become hunters.
...Even though the mortality rate in the hunter industry has always been high.
Two days ago, some kind of big change seemed to have occurred outside the town. Most of the hunters died. Only one hunter out of ten managed to escape from the city and returned to the town.
The deaths of those hunters seemed to indicate that a terrible disaster was coming, so in the past two days, there was an undercurrent in the town, and several riots occurred.
(If you choose the identity of a scavenger at the beginning, you will be able to get closer to the cause of the city's destruction, but accordingly, you will also have to bear extremely terrifying risks...)
Looking far away at the town gate in the distance, Bai Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.
… … … … … … … …
The area occupied by the Wild Wolf Gang can be considered very luxurious.
Originally, this place seemed to be a huge factory building, but now most of the buildings inside have been demolished. Unlike the dirty roads outside that were flattened by pumps, there are clean and neat cement roads inside.
In the center of the yard, there were even more than a dozen vehicles parked, including large trucks and thick off-road vehicles. However, without exception, the appearance of these vehicles was welded with thick steel plates. Some of them The surrounding area is full of spikes like hedgehogs.
It is precisely because of these simple and crude modifications that each of these cars not only looks like they have lost their original appearance, but more like ferocious beasts lying there quietly.
"We are in charge of a caravan channel here. What you see is only a small part. The boss and the others should be back by the evening at the latest."
Seemingly satisfied with the well-placed shock in Bai Zhi's eyes, after leading Bai Zhi into a room in the factory that was decorated as a reception room and sitting down, the hyena spoke with some complacency.
"Dr. Bai, what do you think of our place?"
“It’s nice, feels like home.”
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi nodded.
"I really like it here."
"There are a lot of rooms here. I have sent people to clean them up. We will decide all matters after the boss and others come back."
Smiling slightly, the hyena spoke.
"Besides, Dr. Bai, if you have..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a man hurried in from outside the door. After glancing at Bai Zhi, who was sitting opposite the hyena, he leaned over and whispered something into the hyena's ear. .
Because the other party's voice was deliberately soft, Bai Zhi couldn't hear what the other party said. However, after the other party finished speaking, although the hyena was well controlled, Bai Zhi still saw it. The mood on the hyena's face fluctuated slightly.
"Can I help you with anything?"
Bai Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly, and after the person who ran in to deliver the message stood up, Bai Zhi took the initiative to ask.
"If you need my help with anything, please feel free to ask. You're welcome. After all, we are a family from now on."
"It's just some trivial things."
After waving his hand to signal the other party to retreat, the hyena smiled and spoke.
"Exactly, Dr. Bai, do you want to go over there and take a look?"
Volume One: The Gap between Virtuality and Reality: Chapter 605 Chapter 597: People Eat People
I clutched the snow on the dust, but it made me feel warm.
I chewed the rotten meat in the bowl, but it made me enjoy the sweetness.
I stroked the mouse in the cave, and it made me imagine life.
I looked at the humans under the sky, and it made me feel scared.
I looked for traces of my friend, but it made me see... hell on earth.
I think the real hell should be like this, right
"..."
Sitting in a dark corner with her skinny legs in her arms, looking at the large pools of blood on the ground, there was no focus in the girl's eyes.
The girl's hand was clutching a broken piece of glass, stained with blood, her own and someone else's.
Next to her, a small mutilated corpse lay there. There was a very conspicuous scratch on the neck of the corpse, but its face was as calm as relief.
The girl's current location is an underground cell that covers a considerable area.
In this underground cell, there are many people like her imprisoned, including men, women, and children. Here, they have only one identity.
-slave.
New slaves are brought in every day, and women here are taken out every day. Some of the women taken out can come back, and some never appear again.
The bodies of those women who came back were mostly mutilated. After lingering for a few days in this dark underground cell, they would die miserably.
This is real hell.
There is no need to exist in a world like this... right
The girl suddenly had such an idea in her mind.
… … … … … … … …
"slave?"
Looking at the large underground cell in front of him, Bai Zhi frowned slightly.
"Yes, they are the best consumables in the wild."
As if he didn't see the expression on Bai Zhi's face, the hyena continued to introduce with a smile.
"The wilderness is extremely dangerous. Having these consumables that can be pushed out to block knives at critical moments can reduce our casualties quite a bit."
"...This doesn't seem to be in compliance with the rules, right?"
With slightly narrowed eyes, Bai Zhi turned his head to look at the other party.
"I remember that things like cannon fodder should be those who violate the rules of the town and feed on humans. They arrest humans in large numbers as..."
"It doesn't matter. They are homeless people that no one cares about. A lot of people like this can die every day in the town."
Interrupting Bai Zhi's words, the hyena smiled and spoke.
"Instead of lying on the street and starving to death, it is better to make some contribution to mankind before death. At least here, they can have something to eat."
And at the end, the hyena added this sentence meaningfully.
"Everyone here is violating the rules."
"..."
Bai Zhi glanced roughly around the underground cell through the thick iron gate, but Bai Zhi didn't reply.
Things to eat
He didn't see any food here... except human corpses.
There are two things in the world that cannot be looked directly at, one is the sun and the other is the human heart.
Although he had already predicted in his heart that in an environment like the end of the world, he could not overestimate the character of these gangsters, but he still overestimated it.
In addition, he also underestimated the opponent
With his thirteen-point perception ability, he could vaguely sense that he was being targeted by at least five guns, and that feeling of sharpness on his back seemed to be reminding him of something.
It didn't take much time for Bai Zhi to roughly figure it out.
The person who came in to report before was a fake, or it could be said that the hyena in front of him deliberately arranged it. The purpose was to bring him here and witness with his own eyes the deep darkness hidden under the surface of this gang.
Frankly speaking, this is a test for him.
If he can accept it, everyone will be happy. If he can't accept it, instead of leaving hidden dangers, it would be better to kill him here directly.
It may sound convoluted, but in fact it is easy to understand. Since we are all black, you must become as black as us.
If you think about it from this aspect, then all this is probably just an appetizer. After all, the best way to lure him into trouble is already written in the town's ban.
If you put it this way, everyone in the Wild Wolf Gang really deserves to die...
"You are also a smart person. I won't say any more. Boss and the others haven't come back yet. You should think about it by yourself first."
Reaching out and patting the silent Doctor Bai on the shoulder, Hyena handed a key to the other person's hand and then began to persuade him.
"This is the way the world is now. It's a cannibalistic world. Either you eat others, or others eat you. We are evolved beings, higher human beings. Why should we care about the lives of lower human beings?"
"Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about."
After weighing the key in his hand, Bai Zhi looked noncommittal.
"Speaking of which, what does this key do?"
"Of the slaves inside, you can take one of them back, no matter which one they are. It doesn't matter if you want to take more."
Pointing to the tightly closed heavy iron door below, the hyena smiled and spoke.
"Then, for the rest of the day, it belongs to you, and it doesn't matter what you want to do with it as long as you still have the will to do so. In the end, part of it will become a delicacy on your table. .”
—Tearing off the disguise on his face, the other party’s straightforward words were simply disgusting to hear.
After the other party finished saying these words, he stood there leaning against the wall with his arms folded, staring at him, with a strange smile on his face.
"Of course, you can choose not to do this, but I think you should be able to guess the consequences. After all, if you want to get something, you always have to pay something first. You just need to let go of the unnecessary burdens in your heart. … Before the boss and the others come back.”
"... Is my room tidy?"
After a moment of silence, Bai Zhi reached out and threw the key in his hand, turned around and walked towards the heavy iron door below.
"Also, could you please help me get some clean hot water and some new sets of clothes in the room?"
"I'm glad you made the right choice."
Clapping his hands, the hyena smiled and spoke.
"I've already sent someone to tidy up the room. I'll also order someone to prepare hot water and clean clothes right away. Doctor Bai, do you have any other needs?"
"Others... bring me some normal food."
The sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole was faintly heard, and then there was the hoarse sound of the door being pushed open. Among these additional sounds, the other party's plain words came over.
"To be honest, I'm a little hungry and have no energy..."
Volume 1 The Gap between Virtual and Real: Chapter 606 Chapter 598 The Tip of the Iceberg
The environment in the underground cell was far worse than Bai Zhi had imagined.
