Chapter 578: Not a paradise
Knowing the news of the poisoned camel, Lu Chuanxin was no longer here.
Here, Lu Chuan's purpose is to find poisonous camels. This is the first task. The secondary task is the survivors.
There was no news of the poisoned camel, naturally, it was mainly the survivors.
Now that the Poisonous Camel has appeared, the primary goal is naturally to return to the Poisonous Camel.
Seeing the power of zombies, Lu Chuan knew that it would take longer for the survivors to stand up. At present, the survivors are still being crushed and beaten.
Ahead.
The killing of the alienated new human forces has gradually come to an end.
The advantage of the cold weapon lies here. It can solve the zombies with the smallest movement, but it will not alarm the zombies in other streets. Just be careful at the intersection, there will be very few zombies alarmed.
Cleared the zombies here, and moved forward for a while.
Lu Chuan originally wanted to find a chance to slip away, but after hesitating, he still didn't.
After entering the suburbs, facing the impact of the second wave of zombies, under the supervision of the supervising team, the cannon fodder once again pushed to the front, using their flesh and blood as food to attract the zombies.
Soon, after paying the price of nearly forty people, the zombies finally stopped.
With Lu Chuan here, Wu Yingcai didn't have to worry about his safety. Several times, Lu Chuan pulled him out of the zombie's mouth.
Once again, everyone withdrew.
The loss this time was indeed a bit heavier, making everyone's face even more ugly. Panting one by one, they consumed more energy in the second round, and their faces became very pale.
There are several, leaning on the wall, their legs trembling, and God knows if they can run in the third round.
The number of zombies was not as large as the previous batch, and the Alienated New Human Forces were quickly resolved.
Moving forward, everyone knows that the density of zombies is higher, and it is no longer possible to kill them casually. If it can, there will be no such dilemma.
The closer you are to the center of the city, the greater the number of alienated zombies, and the more advanced it is. There may be more advanced zombies at any time, and they will be abused.
Fortunately, they have changed teams.
From the whole team, transformed into a small team, and then dispersed and disappeared in the city. They will use special tactics to sneak into the city, and each team will cooperate to move towards Zhenghong Supermarket.
"Is this all right?"
Lu Chuan thought that these people were so awesome, they would fight all the way through.
Fortunately, they are not stupid enough yet, at least they know that after entering the city, they will execute this special tactic and get the greatest return with the least cost.
Here, if there is no accident, the chance of getting salt this time is still great.
Wu Yingcai nodded and said: "The rest is nothing for us." Immediately, Wu Yingcai showed a grateful smile: "Fortunately, there is no third wave like before, otherwise this loss ratio , It's high."
With their current physique, there will be a third wave, and it is estimated that half of them will never come back. Ning Yanghua would not do this kind of casualties if he were not a fool.
People-oriented, they still know, but in many cases, they are forced to do it.
The others had collapsed on the street long ago, resting recklessly.
This feeling of escaping from the dead gave all of them a look of fortune.
As cannon fodder, as long as you don't die, you will naturally enjoy it next. Those who have become cannon fodder, go back alive, will have half a month of food and drink provided by the settlement.
If there is no benefit, the survivors of Dening City’s settlement would have rioted long ago.
Lu Chuan took a sip of water and glanced at the supervising team that was staring at them. He didn't choose to leave at this time. The main reason was that they were staring at them, which was not very convenient.
Of course, if Lu Chuan wanted to escape, they couldn't stop it.
After the departure of the alien new human force, the whole team is next.
Without the third wave, the loss this time, put in the cannon fodder team with 1,500 people, not even 10% of the loss, it is a very small loss.
Knowing that the Alienated New Human Forces had already rushed in, all the cannon fodder had a look of excitement on their faces.
The armed forces composed of ordinary people, they are not easy, because there will be sporadic zombies in this area, and they need to kill the zombies as soon as possible.
Can't leave here, they need to accept the return of alienated new human forces here.
All the cannon fodder, as if regained vitality, did not dare to talk, but there was a luster in each of their eyes. This is the excitement of being alive.
Lu Chuan and Wu Yingcai were sitting together. Wu Yingcai flipped through the trunk lid of the car Lu Chuan had given him before. Seeing the claw marks on it, he felt lingering fears and was naturally grateful to Lu Chuan.
"Are you a new human?" Wu Yingcai approached Lu Chuan and asked in a low voice.
Lu Chuan blinked: "What do you think?"
…………
About two hours later, the first new human force returned.
They were a little embarrassed and looked a little serious. According to the formation, Lu Chuan could tell at a glance that at least a dozen of them had not followed back.
The loss of more than ten new humans is a very heavy loss.
The second new human force also lost a few people.
When all the troops returned, each of them was carrying a large amount of salt, but judging from this time, they were not very smooth, and there were always more than forty new humans who never returned.
Lu Chuan couldn't see Ning Yanghua's face, but it was certain that it would be very green.
After one trip, more than forty new humans died. This cost is too high.
After listening to the passing, Ning Yanghua said nothing.
In the last days, there is crisis everywhere, and you never know when it will appear. The journey went smoothly, even after arriving at Zhenghong Supermarket, they did not relax.
But who would have thought that there was a senior zombie in Zhenghong Supermarket?
"Back to the settlement."
After a long time, Ning Yanghua gave the order.
The convoy that had been prepared a long time ago started again, leaving Dening City with everyone and returning to the settlement.
…………
Lu Chuan frowned, looking at the food like rice bran in front of him.
By luck, I was able to have two stable meals a day for half a month. This is indeed achieved. The problem is that the difference in these foods is simply hard to swallow.
Lu Chuan didn't taste it, but he knew how unpalatable it was and how difficult it was to swallow.
The fields in the depressions are naturally filled with white rice.
Fertilizers and so on are everywhere in the last days, and there is no shortage of fertilizers at all. Without these factors such as pests and rodents, it was not a big harvest, but it was a good harvest.
However, this rice was provided to the upper strata and alienated new human forces.
The low-level characters below still eat very poorly, barely able to keep their stomachs from being hungry.
The people next to me eat with relish. This food is actually made of rice, especially with a little salt flower and oil, and some wild vegetables, which is delicious.
Wu Yingcai was used to it a long time ago, and he finished eating in a few strokes, and still had some thoughts.
"Why don't you eat?" Wu Yingcai asked quickly when Lu Chuan was motionless.
Lu Chuan smiled, but pushed it in front of Wu Yingcai, and said, "I'm still full. If you are still hungry, you can eat it?"
"Really?" Wu Yingcai was moved.
In the last days, food is so precious that almost no one will give you a bite. But now, Lu Chuan gave himself a whole bowl, how could this not warm Wu Yingcai's heart?
Lu Chuan nodded and said, "Eat."
"I really ate it?" Wu Yingcai said uncertainly. He really wanted to eat it. How long has it been since he had two bowls? This time, I am afraid it has spanned a long, long time.
After finishing the second bowl, Wu Yingcai sighed with satisfaction, and then became embarrassed again. After all, she had eaten Lu Chuan's portion.
After eating, everyone returned to their wooden houses in twos and threes.
After a fluke, they enjoy very good treatment. For example, within half a month, they will not be recruited again, and they can also have two meals a day without work.
These are all exchanged for their lives, and others will not be envious.
It is the first time for Lu Chuan to walk in this residential area in Dening City. In fact, although it is made up of wooden houses, there are also houses with other structures, such as those made of reinforced concrete, but the exterior will be camouflaged, which is close to wood color.
Naturally, this type of house will not be inhabitable by ordinary people.
Towering trees are everywhere here, so it is natural to build some taller buildings. The three or five-story buildings here can be hidden by the trees.
After walking around, Lu Chuan understood this place.
The number of survivors is about 20,000 people, all of whom live here, resulting in a high density of residence. Below this mountain forest, all belong to the range of settlements. As long as you look in the woods, you can see everything It is a connected house.
The water source is naturally this waterfall.
A small dam was built on it, one for generating electricity and the other for storing water.
The resources of the last days are too rich. As the world's factory, China has produced so many resources, such as water pipes, that there is no shortage.
Therefore, with the help of this waterfall, the water used in the entire settlement is tap water.
The apocalypse in a civilized society is naturally impossible to resemble the ancients. In terms of urinating and urinating at will, there is a complete public toilet system and a dedicated pipeline leading downstream.
Before Lu Chuan came up from the downstream www.ltnovel.com, he would naturally smell uncomfortable.
People here do not always stay in the settlements, but use the mountains and forests. There are many things that people can eat in the mountain forest, such as some wild vegetables, plant roots, fruits and so on.
Using mountain forests, many plantings have also been carried out.
As long as there is time and free time, the survivors will go into the mountains and forests to be busy, use the forests to protect them, avoid the zombies, and plant some food. Crops like sorghum and corn can be planted in the gaps between mountains and forests.
It is by relying on these to ensure that they will not be starved to death.
Far away from villages, towns and other places where there are many zombies, in this mountain forest, it is almost impossible to be attacked by zombies, making this a place of peace.
Of course, the existence of the ruling class cannot really be a paradise. There is also a shortage of certain indispensable resources, which also require them to face the zombies and obtain them from the outside world.
Long-term malnutrition has also plagued settlements.
Especially the reproduction of humans, the extremely high mortality rate of newborns, the lack of medical standards, etc., are also a big killer.
In short, there is nothing perfect in this world.
Especially in this settlement, the implementation is actually the embryonic form of slavery, that is, the political power is highly concentrated. All the survivors below need to serve the political power, and then the resources will be uniformly allocated by the upper level, and the lower level has no control.
Although it is the cause of the end times, it has a high degree of similarity with slavery.
With this kind of system, no wonder they looked numb when they saw these harvesters in the depression before. Maybe this group of people belonged to the category of slaves.
From this point of view, although this is a place of comfort, it cannot be called a paradise.
