Section 155 Life

For many people, the changes in this world are not a bad thing. Although the virus has destroyed the social order and various rules of the civilized era, it has also brought about a new lifestyle. Taking the New Chengdu Base City as an example, here, anyone can realize their dreams through their own hands. As long as they dare to fight, have enough courage, and are not afraid of life and death, they can gain huge wealth from the monsters.

The mutated blood corpses and humanoids only have terrifying appearances and possess some weird and special biological skills. Their comprehensive strength is slightly stronger than that of ordinary adults, with a floating index of about 5% to 30%, and may even be weaker.

The fear brought by the virus storm is fading. People who have seen too many corpses and blood have completely different understandings of the meaning of the word "death". More and more hunters have appeared in the base city, and the number of mercenary groups and hunter teams registered in the military is as high as thousands. Among them, a considerable number of them are natural evolutionary reinforced people. Although the quality of weapons and equipment is poor and the number of guns is not large, hundreds of mutant creatures are transported into the city every day from outside the city. In exchange points and shops opened by the military and consortium, dozens of crystals and hundreds of milligrams of silver bones can be received every day.

People no longer save money like they did in peacetime. At a very cheap price, they can buy weapons and ammunition at the military exchange point. The 56mm caliber assault rifle is no longer among the military equipment. The exchange price opened by the base city to civilians is only fifty milligrams of silver bone. This price is not high or low. As long as people who pay attention to the exchange ratio every day, they know that the numbers on the electronic display screen of the exchange point are changing at any time.

Last week, the price was still 65 mg of silver bone for an assault rifle.

Today, it has dropped to forty-eight milligrams.

Of course, the bullets are calculated separately.

Not everyone is born brave, and some people think that the adventure-taking life is not suitable for them. They would rather stay in the city and use other ways to maintain their lives.

In order to prevent mutant creatures from attacking the city on a large scale, minefields of hundreds of meters wide were set up outside the city walls. Many civilians who could not enter the city dig soil next to the minefields to cultivate seeds of crops such as corn, wheat, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. The planting area is not large, and the area is about one to two acres. People build houses near the fields, or use the original buildings to strengthen door panels and windows to make their residences safer. They guard their last property and look at everyone passing by the fields with fierce and vigilant eyes. Even when they are sleeping, weapons such as pistols, kitchen knives, and hammers are stuffed under the pillows.

The military has been selecting suitable soldiers among civilians.

There are spacious open spaces near each city gate. Most of the foreign civilians will come here to try their luck, hoping to be attracted by those officers with stereotypical faces and no sensibility to speak of, and become a member of the supplementary military training camp.

This kind of thing has become the supreme luck that everyone envies. It means that from now on, you can get warm rooms, Yu Jing's bedding, hot water, food, weapons...

Unfortunately, the number of people selected is very small, with a proportion of about two percent, or even fewer.

In addition to the army, the wealthy consortium is also picking people.

Their selection criteria are similar to those of the military. In addition to soldiers, major consortiums also need some extremely important personnel. They publish large quantities of advertisements in civilian camps outside the city, recruiting all kinds of experienced technical workers, engineers, agricultural and animal husbandry experts and experienced personnel, retired military and police personnel, and coolies who are willing to endure hardships and are willing to do anything.

The base city is different from other abandoned cities. This is the jurisdiction of the military, and the wealthy consortium cannot plunder the population here.

Many people were dissatisfied with this. Thousands of people gathered in front of the city gate every day, asking the military and government for help.

Someone took out gold-plated award certificates and tried hard to show that he had an extremely glorious past.

Someone showed off his old ID card and roared that he was an official from a certain district of XXX. Among them, there were big figures such as the director, Mayor, Director, and even the vice governor.

Some people took out gold diamond rings and jade jewelry to bribe soldiers and officers, claiming that they knew someone, their father was named Li, grandpa Zhang, and his surname was Wang, so for their sake, you must let me in, otherwise I will let you go and find hundreds of brothers, trucks to chop off your whole family.

There is never a shortage of idiots in this world. Many people who think they are smart are actually idiots. They use idiot minds to understand and see others, thinking that others are stupider than themselves. But they don’t know that in the eyes of others, idiots are actually a piece of dirty and smelly shit except for the glamorous and beautiful skin.

There are hundreds of tall wooden poles on both sides of the road outside the base city.

There are corpses hanging on it.

Some are very fresh.

Some have rotted.

There are only a few bones that are stinky. Below the wooden pole, you can find other bones belonging to this body.

The soldiers are no longer afraid of rich young men or local officials. The military headquarters has long had strict orders———Whoever dares to attack the military controlled areas will be shot and killed on the spot.

The soldiers are merciless and do not recognize their identities, but only look at the number of silver bones and crystals you hand over.

There were more and more madmen wandering outside the city walls. There were men and women. At first, there were only a few, but now it has increased to hundreds. They were running around the city walls, and some people desperately hitting the walls with their heads, thinking that this was the most fun game in the world; some people chewed at the walls with their teeth, thinking that it was something like cream cakes; some people looked up at the sky for a long time and suddenly burst into pieces, shouting nonsense that no one could understand, running wildly in the dense mines, and then being blown so hard that there was no residue left.

The soldiers guarding the city complained almost every day: they were going to replenish landmines again.

The refugee camps outside the city are getting larger and larger. People who cannot enter the city can only build new settlements outside the base city. They use various materials they can find to build houses: a few pieces of wood and a piece of plastic cloth, which is a shed for wind and rain. Using iron wire to tie corrugated tiles and felts to create a cottage that can sleep well. Although it is very narrow, it seems to be able to live in some people.

There is no defense outside the base city. However, human psychology is so strange. They always think that the closer they are to the city wall, the safer they are. The soldiers stationed in the city will never watch themselves be eaten alive by mutant creatures. They will definitely draw their guns and shoot at critical moments.

Although it has been more than a year since the outbreak of the virus, many people still have a trace of luck in their minds.

A huge new civilian area has been formed outside the base city. Roughly calculated that the population is about 300,000. The minefield and the power grid separate the city wall from the new area, as if it is an insurmountable natural barrier.

Some people kept expressing concern at the military meeting, believing that a large number of civilians would pose a threat to the base city. After discussion, a series of emergency orders were issued, including setting up redemption points outside the city, but the types of weapons exchanged can only be ordinary firearms, and heavy weapons are strictly prohibited from flowing into the civilian market.

Compared to inside and outside the city, the order outside the city is more chaotic.

However, there is always something subtle and identical between the two areas.

Many strong people gathered together to form violent gangs. They robbed and ransom, did not do production, and killed, conflicts and bloodshed occurred every day. People who could not bear the bullying were forced to unite and form a new force to confront them. The outside of the city was soon divided into spheres of influence. In addition to silver bones, crystal stones and blue coins, there were also gold and various resources used as currency.

Some inexplicable religious organizations also appeared one after another. The number of archbishops, popes, popes, living gods and other figures is as high as hundreds. In the hands of many civilians, there are always several Gospels with similar doctrines. The content is nothing more than a disaster in the world. God will bring blessings to save everything, provided that you must be pious enough and take the initiative to offer your property and body to seek the mercy of the omnipotent God, etc.

People are missing every day outside the city. The most effective way for people to resolve conflicts is to fight, which then rises to stabbing people with a knife or hitting people with a stick. Every night, people living in shacks must be vigilant, and few people are active outside. That means they may encounter unknown dangers. They may be kidnapped, or they may be killed on the spot, cut into pieces and dismembered for other purposes.

People are also a resource.

The deli restaurants in the city have been booming, and several similar shops have gradually opened outside the city. Although the boss and the customer are silent, they are very clear about where the ingredients for the large pieces of braised meat hanging on the hook come from?

Refugees have always lacked food. The source of food supply in the entire human society has been completely destroyed, and the resources of Yiluo in abandoned cities have basically deteriorated and rotten, so people can only find something else to fill their stomachs.

The same type is naturally one of them.

Mutant creatures entrench the abandoned cities, but it does not mean that they will not leave their existing territory and wander outside.

The civilian areas outside the city are attacked by mutant creatures almost every day. The number of monsters is small, usually only one or two, and at most, not more than ten. Every time the blood corpse and humanoid appear, they will kill several civilians, causing chaos and panic. Then, they are soon besieged by hunters who come to hear the news and killed on the spot.

Grilled or cooked mutant creatures are sold in deli restaurants. These meat pieces are cheap, and only cost a few cents per kilogram. People are obviously more popular with monster meat than other meats. Although they were once their own compatriots, their appearance has changed, and their internal structures must be the same. At least, when they are eaten in their mouths, they will not have too much psychological burden, nor will they feel guilty or guilt.

It is no exaggeration to say that the base city has become the best country in the minds of some idealists.

Yes, here, you can get everything through labor and hands, and defend your property with courage and strength. There is no rich second generation official second generation riding on your neck to shit and pee, nor does it take away your things in the name of high-soundingness. If you feel angry and feel unfairly treated, you can pick up your weapon and slash the other person's head.

The police and the army will not deprive civilian assets, but they will not interfere in disputes between civilians. You can use blood and violence to realize your own claims in civilian areas, and beware of others using the same means to deal with you. No matter what you do, kill, set fire, robbery, rape, or fraud and theft, the premise is that you must hand over enough crystals and silver bones to have the basic right to enter the city and live in the city.

This is utopia.

If Thomas More were still alive, I wonder what he would think?

Night, a peaceful past.

Morning, silently arrived.

Xinyan practiced morning exercises and jogged as usual, passing by the checkpoint where Private Yan Ye was stationed, and brought admiration from the soldiers with a sweet smile and a friendly attitude.

When she ran into the family building with hot sweat, Xinyan happened to meet He Qun, an administrator who looked cold and seemed to be dissatisfied with desire and could not solve the problem of physiological hunger for a long time.

The obese middle-aged woman with a sinister face, carrying a dirty bell, gave Xinyan a vicious look, turned around, and walked upstairs while roaming the bell as she vented her anger.

"Bangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbangbang

Suddenly, the noisy noise broke the tranquility of the family building.

"Open the door, get up, get up quickly————"

He Qun, wearing a big horoscope that was more bulky than a duck, shouted loudly in an unpleasant tone that was not as weak as a gusto, "If you send something, don't want to starve to death, fuck out for me quickly. It's time to go out, don't blame me for not sending a notice if I didn't get it late. Get up, get up, get up, get up, get up————”

The closed doors immediately opened one after another, and women with nervous expressions and alert faces popped up. They either stood by the door, or opened the door a crack and kept looking outside. The eyes shot from different positions quickly gathered on He Qun, including expectation, desire, tension, as well as hatred, disgust, and fear.

But more, it is curiosity.

As usual, today is the day to distribute meat products and oil.

Most of the women living in this family building were their husbands who had died in battle or were missing and were missing. They had no support and had no source of income. If the military had not ordered the provision of essential living resources to all military families, they would have been on the streets long ago.

He Qun is a greedy woman and extremely lazy. Every time she distributes supplies, her family members have to come to ask for them. She exploits and bullies the women in this building, and all kinds of daily necessities are never fully distributed. At the worst, the reduction is even more than 80%.

The women complained to the superior department. The officers of the Logistics Department were fed very well by He Qun and never paid attention to such things. They were helpless, and the families of the dead and the families of the working people were two completely different concepts. The headquarters was busy dealing with other matters all day long and had no time to ask about similar administrative issues. The officers below were naturally disobedient.

There were several women with strong temperament who thought of killing He Qun directly. But the evil woman had a gun, and there were several evil women who were accomplices of the tiger around her colluding with each other, and the evil forces outside helped each other to protect each other. There was no chance to attack. Instead, several women with similar thoughts disappeared one after another.

He Qun is very vigilant.

She bribed the officials of the Logistics Office and built a wall between several family buildings to transform it into a single building. In the middle, there was only a small door for entry and exit. If the women in the building wanted to go out, they had to pass by the building where she lived. The roads leading to the Logistics Management Office and other military areas were blocked by checkpoints and had to detour from the civilian area. Once an abnormality was discovered, He Qun would use a short communicator to contact nearby gang members and kidnap the women who filed petition and complained on the spot.

Soldiers never interfere with any problems in civilian areas. The modified walls just block the sentry's view. Threats, violence, and fresh examples of missing people are in front of you. Women who are bullied in this building can only endure humiliation and live a life of humiliation.

As for the residents in the other family buildings, He Qun will treat them differently with different attitudes. Although she is not very educated, she is not stupid and knows that she cannot list all women as opponents. At critical moments, she must win over some husbands who hold important positions, have military achievements, and have higher military ranks as shields.

Any manager has mixed praise and criticism, and at the same time he is praised, he will always be accompanied by scolding. With all kinds of vicious means and a considerable number of military officials who help him speak in an unknown way, He Qun sat firmly in the seat of the administrator, using a scraper knife to knock bones and suck marrow from half of the women, and holding flowers in the other hand to play the role of a good person in front of the other half of the women.

The women stood at the door of their rooms, watching silently at the shouting He Qun.

They were very confused—————————————this woman is lazy and ruthless. She has never been the same time she takes the initiative to ask someone to collect supplies. Could it be that the sun really comes out from the west? Or... some unknown accident happened?

Xinyan walked into the room, took a towel, slowly wiped the sweat beads on her face, and watched coldly as He Qun, who was shaking the bell like a madman.

The harsh shouts and bells rang for more than ten minutes. All the women in the family building left their rooms half-believingly, gathered at the corner of the stairs on the second floor, and surrounded He Quntuan.

This is obviously a good opportunity to get rid of the evil woman.

However, what women care most about at the moment is just how much meat and how much fat can they get this month?

He Qun quickly glanced around, and a hint of undetectable pride flashed through her eyes. She shaking the bell with great arrogant attitude, as if she was giving alms to the beggar who was a poor lady who was giving the beggar a rotten rice overnight.

"All are here, right? Then go and line up, make order, and follow me to get things."

A young woman with a small figure and a weak appearance asked in confusion: "Where to go? What are you getting?"

He Qun replied impatiently: "Of course you are receiving your meat quota this month. What do you think you are receiving? Can you bring a man back to sleep with you?"
