Chapter 97: Those dark times are over
"Are these clothes from thirty years ago? They feel so good and the skirt is so beautiful."
In the team, some team members who were only about twenty years old looked at the clothes in the clothing store with surprise. Although the things inside the clothing store were staggered, clothes were not fragile items and basically all that could be preserved were preserved.
Retained.
Young people around the age of twenty have never seen those costumes before the apocalypse. At most, they have read about them in some books.
"Put them away if they are beautiful, but don't take up too much space." Liu Haipeng glanced at the female member of the team. People who can survive in the apocalypse, even women, are very powerful, and there are not many weak ones.
.
"Thank you, captain!" The female team member beamed. Just as she was about to rush into the clothing store, Liu Haipeng reached out and held her back.
"Don't be impatient. Let's investigate the surrounding environment first."
"Yes, Captain!"
Seeing Liu Haipeng's serious face, the others immediately cheered up and checked the surroundings attentively to avoid encountering any monsters when collecting resources later.
"Captain, do you smell... barbecue?"
?Liu Haipeng looked at the young man who spoke. Even if the people of the new generation are not very powerful evolvers, they are still more powerful than the people before the end of the world. This is also the natural evolution after elimination. Liu Haipeng is not the most powerful in the team.
Yes, he is just the most experienced.
It's normal for someone to smell the barbecue first.
"Which side? Others stop searching and be careful in your next actions..."
After they traced the smell of barbecue, their eyes widened immediately. Liu Haipeng looked at the person on the arranged platform with an unbelievable expression: "Is there so many?"
Just one time traveler had made him very concerned, and now he saw more than twenty. Not only that, there was also the body of a giant beast not far from the group of people.
Part of the giant beast's body was scorched, and another part was shriveled and cracked, as if it had been drained of body fluids.
The dead giant beast + a group of time travelers gathered on the platform to barbecue and eat = there are masters here!
A simple formula quickly flashed through Liu Haipeng's mind, but is it really like this?
"Be careful, I'll go over and negotiate. If there is any emergency, run away immediately." After Liu Haipeng explained, he left the more obvious weapons on his body and walked towards the platform actively.
"Oh, the aborigines are here." Zheng Yichen looked at Liu Haipeng, who came over on his own initiative, and waved to him: "How about noon."
"Good afternoon." Being greeted by Zheng Yichen, Liu Haipeng seemed a little confused. Are we familiar?
"Should I explain first or should you ask first?" Zheng Yichen looked at the confused Liu Haipeng and asked with a smile.
Liu Haipeng said quickly: "You should explain first."
He had a lot of questions. Seeing as Zheng Yichen was the leader among these people, it was better to wait for someone to explain before asking anything else.
Zheng Yichen nodded and began to speak: "This giant beast is a visionary creature. When it is alive, it will produce visions in the area where it moves. After it is killed, the vision disappears with its death. And they are
The people who come into the distortion circle caused by the strange creatures are not from this world."
"Any creature that has no adaptability after entering the anomaly will lose consciousness due to pressure. I solved the anomaly creature. Are there any other problems?"
"...Nothing about the vision." Liu Haipeng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Zheng Yichen's explanation basically covered all his questions, but the amount of information was a bit large. They had speculated that there was some kind of dangerous thing in the vision before.
Creature, but I never thought that this kind of creature would be directly related to visions.
If you kill the creatures inside, the phenomenon will disappear. The powerful mutated creatures that died after being involved in the phenomenon are probably not incapable of being defeated, but as Zheng Yichen said, they lacked adaptability and fell into a coma after entering the phenomenon.
No matter how powerful a mutated creature is, it still has to be slaughtered after losing consciousness.
"I will be leaving here soon. Can you make arrangements for these people?"
Looking at the time-travelers, Liu Haipeng was a little hesitant. More than 20 people said they were more or less, and the ratio of men to women was about seven to three. The oldest was no more than sixty years old, and the youngest should be two.
When you are more than ten years old, you have entered society.
There are no second-rate people in there, they are all normal.
But the problem is that these people have not adapted to the environment of the apocalypse. People's physiques are really different. A group of sub-healthy ordinary people living in modern cities - there is no doubt that he himself was in a sub-healthy state before the apocalypse broke out.
These people really make Liu Haipeng worried that something will go wrong at some point, which is what he was concerned about before. These time-travelers may not be able to see the clues in a short time. Over time, they are really easy to mutate.
Liu Haipeng expressed his worries. As soon as he said these words, the female white-collar worker and other time-travelers were confused: "Also, is there such a thing??"
"Yes, this kind of thing is very important." Liu Haipeng said with a serious face, indicating that he did not mean to joke.
"It has been thirty years since the apocalypse broke out in this world. I don't know how many surviving humans there are, but I know that the surviving humans have actually adapted or coexisted with the viruses in the environment."
Survival of the fittest, those who cannot adapt to the apocalyptic environment mutated or died as early as thirty years ago.
"Are we only going to eat cooked food?" the female white-collar worker asked eagerly. None of them wanted to mutate into zombies.
"Maybe it can be avoided, but there are actually trace amounts of viruses in the environment... Well, this is information from more than 20 years ago. How do I get rid of it now?" Liu Haipeng said.
More than twenty years ago, most communications on the planet were still available, and there would always be people on the radio publishing some research results on viruses, which could help people better understand the characteristics of those viruses.
The virus broke out with that heavy rain, and in the first month, the virus content in the air was at a peak.
After a month, the virus content in the air began to weaken. Within a few years, the virus content in the air dropped to less than one ten thousandth of its peak, and there was basically no problem of corpse transformation after accidental death.
, the virus content in the air is not enough to cause new changes in those corpses.
But even then, the virus still hasn't disappeared, and from now on... the communication aspect will gradually come to an end.
Following Liu Haipeng's narration, Zheng Yichen obtained more complete and specific information about this world. Zombies will mutate, and after mutation, they are no longer just corpses, but become more powerful. Some can also control fire, lightning and other powers.
.
Humans also have evolvers. In addition to having a strong physique, evolvers also have special abilities. However, compared with zombie evolvers, most human evolvers have a sense of being superior to others.
In terms of evolution, the zombie evolvers are stronger, and the mutant animals are similar. Some have grown scales that can withstand large-caliber firearms, and some have grown significantly in size. Compared with the strange giant beasts Zheng Yichen killed,
huge.
To sum up, as long as you don't behave like a human being, you can become stronger!
"Have you ever been attacked by zombie evolvers?"
"We've encountered it before." Liu Haipeng's expression became heavy: "That time we suffered heavy losses in order to deal with those zombie evolvers!"
Zombie evolvers are not brainless. When they are at a low level of evolution, they are just like wild beasts. But when they are at a high level of evolution, they can grow up quickly based on the memories left during their lifetime. They can also learn and use tools.
"From the perspective of zombie evolvers, whether they are beasts or humans, they are their food!"
Monkeys can also eat each other, not to mention evolved zombies. They have human shapes, but they are fundamentally different from humans.
Liu Haipeng thought for a moment and said: "...I can convince the people around me to accept them, but they have to be isolated for a period of time. This kind of isolation is not a prison, but a separate area for them to live. It only takes half a year.
.”
"If they want to leave voluntarily, we will not prohibit them from leaving."
"Who knows if you really think that way, or maybe you want to keep us in captivity..." Some people did not believe Liu Haipeng's words, and the other person was a standard apocalyptic survivor.
When it comes to the end of the world, the first thing that comes to mind is the collapse of morality, cannibalism becoming common, and the keeping of slaves in captivity.
"Hey! This dark period has passed." Liu Haipeng said with raised blood vessels on his forehead: "Although it is difficult for civilization to return to its previous level, order is already there, and some places may be more harsh, but
There are not too many situations where people are not treated as human beings.”
He didn't say anything absolutely. It's not too much, but it's not because he has no human nature.
"Anyway, those who believe in me can stay, and those who don't believe in me won't force myself." At this point, Liu Haipeng looked at Zheng Yichen: "The people around me will consider moving here later."
Although the buildings here are rickety, everyone in the team has seen them on the way here. The industrial products here are very abundant. Although some collapsed buildings are not safe, these are just construction waste in their eyes.
Very good building materials.
Taking advantage of the environment here, they can quickly build a gathering place whose overall quality exceeds that of their small town.
Not to mention that you can find a lot of electronic equipment here, as well as the damaged vehicles and other things you saw along the way, many of which can be repaired.
There are several buses alone. If you integrate all the resources here, it will be like buying a lottery ticket and winning a super double before the end. After digesting these resources, they can take off directly!
The biggest problem in executing all of this was Zheng Yichen, who was responsible for killing the giant beast. It was not that he had doubted Zheng Yichen's strength, but he didn't want to try it out of curiosity.
"Well, you can do whatever you want. I'm just staying here to find something."
