Behind the iron gates were tents shaped like hills. Many people hid inside and watched the newcomer Hao Jian and others. They didn't relax until they were locked in an isolation room surrounded by iron fences. down.
Inside the iron fence was a stinky straw mat and some food scraps. Thinking that they would spend forty-eight hours here, Lian Runing felt a little regretful: "I've been delayed for so many days, and if I delay here for another two days, I really can't wait."
"It's okay, I believe your family can also encounter such a refuge." Peng Mao comforted.
Hao Jian didn't speak, she was observing the environment here.
Just now, she observed the side of Jiangxin Island from the outside, and found that it is not very big. According to the size of the tent, it can only accommodate more than 10,000 tents at most.
In addition to the surrounding protection works and public activity spaces, there are 8,000 tents that are already too many.
However, many people at the scene did not have tents. They were all sheds built of wood or steel, and covered with straw mats as a place to rest.
Looking at the guards patrolling around, there were only seven or eight guards, plus the ones who were guarding the gate just now, there were only a dozen or so. There are a dozen or so escort team members, if it is said to be a group, it is too much, and if it is said to be a team, it is too little.
Looking back, Hao Jian knocked on the fence, causing the guards guarding them to frown: "What's the matter?"
"I want to talk to your superiors."
The guard did not reprimand or reject her, but said, "I'll tell him, but I can't guarantee that he will be free to see you."
Peng Mao came over and said, "They're pretty good at talking."
Hao Jian said, "What kind of vicious prisoners do you think we are? We are all ordinary people. The reason why they imprisoned us is to ensure the safety of others."
After a while, the black-faced man came over. He stopped a meter away, and his face was intriguing: "Are you looking for me?"
"Yes." Hao Jian nodded earnestly, "Can we have a negotiation and don't lock us up for so long?"
"..." The black-faced man's sullen face almost couldn't hold back his twitching. He said, "Many people have discussed with us like this, but... This has paid the price of blood, so the rules are the rules. , please abide by it."
Although he rejected Hao Jian's request, he did not leave.
He has fully respected Hao Jian, and Hao Jian stopped going around in circles with him: "If I want to exchange information about zombies with you, do you think it is appropriate to exchange here?"
The man's expression was still the same, but the guard next to him raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Then please come with me." After the man said that, the guard next to him opened the door, but only let her out.
Peng Mao and Lian Runing did not change, because they believed that Hao Jian would not be in any danger. But after Hao Jian left with the black-faced man, the guard asked curiously, "Hey, who are you guys, and how did you find them here?"
Peng Mao met a person who could listen to him express his depression, so he couldn't help pouring a lot of bitter water on the guard team member, listening to the team member's admiration: "Your luck and ability are both very good. , to be able to wander outside for so many days."
"Can you let us out and chat somewhere else?" Peng Mao asked pitifully.
The guard team member suddenly shivered for some reason. He really couldn't look directly at a muscular man and act like a spoiled brat.
"No, because you have been in contact with zombies many times, you should be isolated and observed."
Peng Mao pouted and sat back on the straw mat.

Hao Jian followed the black-faced man into a large tent, where he saw several tables with some machinery, equipment and documents stacked on them, and two members of the escort team were working. When they saw the black-faced man, they got up and saluted.
"Sit down!" The black-faced man pointed to a stool next to him.
Hao Jian saw his Gurkha knives and their backpacks on the table in front of the black-faced man, and knew that he had doubts about her origins.
Sure enough, the black-faced man said, "My name is An Minghui, and I'm the adjutant of the Jiangxin Island Refuge Base Guard Team. I happen to have some questions to ask Miss Hao - if the ID on this is correct, you are Miss Hao, right? !"
"That's right, Hao Jian, the market opener."
"Miss Hao said she wanted to share information about zombies with us. I don't know what Miss Hao does?"
"An anchor, who broadcasts games."
An Minghui picked up the Gurkha Army-Knife and played with it: "So Miss Hao knows what kind of knife this is and how to use it, so may I take the liberty to ask how this knife came from? ?"
He pondered for a moment, "Miss Hao, don't get me wrong, I don't doubt that you have any special identity, but just want to know whether the information you know deserves our attention."
"I recognize this knife, and I know how to use it. After all, it is one of the best melee weapons in the game. But unfortunately, I have no identity other than civilian status. I picked it up. , you can ask my companion."
Both Lian Runing and Xin Ting thought that her knife was picked up, and that the village was where Ding Gu Nian's group passed by, so she could just turn their attention on the origin of the knife to that group of people. body.
An Minghui didn't fully believe her words, but the general-knife returned it to her: "So what kind of zombie information can you get as a civilian? You must know that the news that can be circulated on the Internet is already known by the government. fact."
Hao Jian smiled: "I don't dare to use an axe in front of national power, so I have made a few simple findings based on my observations. Zombie viruses can be transmitted through body-fluids, such as blood, wounds and sexual intercourse. Different individuals have different incubation periods, but if an infected person is infected, their vital characteristics will also affect the timing of the attack."
A hint of surprise flashed in An Minghui's eyes: "Normal people can guess that if they are scratched or bitten by a zombie virus carrier, they may be infected with the zombie virus. The only way is sexual intercourse, which is also an expert. It was discovered only a few days ago after many studies and observations.
But as far as I know, the signal at that time has been interrupted, and only the communication of our escort team can be used, so there should be no broadcast on the news and broadcast. You said that you only knew that there was a refuge base here, which means that there was no encounter. People in this city, so how did you know? "
"Then I can ask, why the signal was interrupted? It was because of the interruption of the signal that many news could not be conveyed, and more people died. If the truth was concealed in order not to cause panic, but obviously, This situation is out of your control, and even millions of people become zombies every day, after a while, 100 million living people will be considered a good number."
An Minghui said: "You are a question that people ask me every day. Among the 12,000 survivors, there are only 6,000 families, that is to say, in terms of a family of three, at least every family One less relative. Do you think we deliberately watched the people lose their wives and families and their families were destroyed? No, you must know that the official reason for blocking the signal is that in addition to the destruction of the signal tower, it is necessary to ensure that no other forces in the territory will disturb it. Otherwise…”
The meaning of this unfinished sentence is self-evident.
Seeing Hao Jian pondering, An Minghui said, "When we discovered that the situation was beyond the control of conventional forces, we had already issued relevant orders to choose a safer location to build a refuge base. We have two teams. They were assigned to Jiangxin Island, while our other teammates searched and rescued survivors every day and moved them to a safe place."
He paused, "However, a city, a small city like Jiangshi, has a population of several million, but our team members are only a few hundred people. We also have people die every day and turn into zombies to attack our former teammates. ."
At the end, he seemed to have some resentment. When he saw Hao Jian staring at him, he regained his senses and said, "Sorry, I shouldn't have told you this."
Hao Jian shook his head: "It seems that you have been forced by the survivors enough."
When this happens, the public will first be held accountable by government agencies, and then by the violent agencies that rescue them. They believe in and depend on the power of the state, so when their relatives die and their interests are damaged, they will naturally anger the guards.
An Minghui wouldn't tell Hao Jian what the official order was, but he revealed that the reason why there were no refuge bases in the broadcast was because these refuge bases were not very large and had insufficient capacity.
If people listened to the radio, they would flock to those places. The sudden increase in the number of people will lead to omissions, and zombie virus carriers may also be mixed in, causing more serious consequences. Even in the periphery, a large number of zombies will gather when the personnel have not yet been placed, and the situation is not optimistic.
So the way they chose is to persuade people to hide at home, and then the escort team will make adjustments according to the situation of each refuge base, let the team members clear the zombies in the city every day, and at the same time communicate the infection prevention measures and self-help methods to the residents hiding at home. .
However, it is precisely because the people know that people who have sex with zombie viruses will also be infected with the virus, so basically their sex life is solved manually by themselves.
"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. Did Miss Hao also say something?"
Most of Hao Jian's news came from the system, and the information revealed by the system was based on human discoveries. Therefore, the news that Hao Jian knew was already known by the upper management. The difference was whether they had time to tell An Ming. It is only conveyed by people of this level.
There was also a small amount of information that she and Lian Runing discovered through observation. She sorted out what she knew and told An Minghui.
An Minghui felt that Hao Jian was indeed smarter than ordinary people. At least a lot of the news they got from the government, and Hao Jian could find out through observation without official reminder. It can be seen that she is not only smart, but also very careful and sensitive.
And those who can come here from the opening market will at least not be timid when dealing with zombies.
Courage and resourcefulness are the talents they desperately need in this period.
"Miss Hao might as well join us." An Minghui said.
Hao Jian replied without hesitation: "Unfortunately, I can't stay here."
"You just asked me so much and left your hometown. Where do you want to go?"
"Southern City." Hao Jian didn't plan to hide it. After all, An Minghui might know the situation in Southern City.
An Minghui said: "Then you are very courageous. Today's Nanfang City is more critical than Jiang City. If you can come here from the opening of the market, it is because of luck and strength, then you have to go to the south. City, you must have ten times more luck and strength than now. With a knife and a crowbar, you can't even get past the outer periphery of the southern city."
An Minghui is telling the truth, because that is where the virus first appeared, and even if there are guards everywhere to kill zombies, the base of zombies is large. Unless headshots are taken, bullets can only be wasted.
In this case, the escort members who were fighting on the front line were also killed and injured countless times. Therefore, the superior also issued an order to abandon the city center, block the area, and do everything possible to rescue those who escaped from the periphery.
"I have a reason to have to go."
Of course, the reason Hao Jian pointed to was not the system's mission, after all, the system didn't say there was any punishment for failing the mission. But she is a person who keeps her word. Since she has promised Lian Runing, she will definitely do it unless she dies.
