Death is the Beginning Chapter 3: : War and Salvation (Part 1)
Chapter Three: War and Salvation "...The above is the layout of our war, the code name of the war is... Gale!"
Human City, one and a half months after Pei Jiao and others returned from the moon, it is already a big city with a population of more than 700,000 and a healthy population of more than 300,000...Compared to the current era, it is already a big city. It is one of the best big cities on earth, or if you can remove the word number two, it should be the largest city in the world.
In addition to the original population of the human city, there are also all the residents who migrated from the southern human city, the lunar residents who escaped from the moon, and the humans in the forest and Gobi near the human city. Of course, there are more humans Various alien tribes near and far around the city handed over the human beings they raised. There are all kinds of people, and there are more than 700,000 people in total. Of course, more than half of them need long-term recuperation, and many people's spirits seem to have appeared. question.
But no matter what, for more than a month, for humans, a species that has become accustomed to the modern time difference and counts every day in minutes, coupled with the technology and equipment brought by lunar humans, and With the free labor of a large number of alien slaves, the entire human city is really thriving, with construction sites going on everywhere, and even some four or five-story buildings are being erected.
All humans who have experienced the ghost catastrophe, the hundreds of clans catastrophe, the human city war, and the moon catastrophe, here, they feel an indescribable peace of mind.
Five steps and one post are all human soldiers with guns and weapons, and even Gauss energy weapons. There are always souls patrolling the whole city, and there are several spaceships flying around the city. Come on, even though you can often see those foreign prisoners of war and slaves in the city, it still makes everyone feel at ease. In fact, many humans who have just arrived in the Human City, their first reaction is to cry loudly. Men, at this time, are also crying badly, as if they want to cry out all their feelings.
When encountering such a situation, no one will laugh or do anything else, many people will stand silently, even some young people, or girls, will cry secretly, because They all seemed to see themselves. When they came to Human City, they saw the towering chimneys, the dilapidated vehicles, the smooth highway, and all of this. They no longer had the disgust of civilization in the past. , the feeling of longing for green, everyone seems to have returned to a home with peace of mind, without all the burdens, just want to vent all the crying... In such a human city, everyone's living environment is not very good, there is no running water, I have to walk a certain distance every day to get back the daily water, and there is a limit to the water. Apart from drinking, the excess can only be used to wipe my face and body.
The food is allocated according to the person, there are simple wild vegetables and the like, and then some animal meat, food is also available, but it is not very rich, and it is allocated according to adults, children, men and women It's different. If you compare it, the daily food is not as good as the daily food of a working family of three before the ghost catastrophe.
The aspect of clothing is also very simple, because most of the captive humans who came out of the jungle or were released by alien races were naked, and it was better to have a few rags, and many of them even had leaves. Nothing, like a savage, just walked out of the jungle naked, so wearing clothes is the most urgent.
Because there was not enough fabric, some tarpaulins were torn up to make clothes, and some discarded fabrics could only be made use of after disinfection, not to mention fashion and the like, even a pair dug from the ground The better shoes that came out were given priority to the army, and as a result, straw sandals became popular.
There are more problems. For example, it is already summer, but there is no air conditioner or anything. There are not even electric fans. There are only a few huge blowers in the square. This is when Zhang Heng was patrolling the human city. , found that many people suffered from heat stroke, so they forced them to install a few. For this reason, the officials of the Ministry of Construction talked about the lack of electricity every day. In the end, it was Pei Jiao who dismantled one of the most dilapidated spaceships. Now, the power supply system inside was installed in the human city, which barely alleviated the power shortage problem of the human city, but what followed were protests from the Ministry of Communications and the army... In short, seven of the human city's More than 100,000 people spend every day in this difficult and chaotic life, but everyone feels sincerely at ease and at ease, because this is a city for human beings, and this is a city that can give human beings safety, security, A place of dignity, a place where you don't have to worry about being suddenly caught, raised, played with, or eaten by a foreign race... This is a human city!
"Old Zhang, are you going to work again?"
In a public dining hall, a master chef was feeding everyone with their own food. The food was simple, wild vegetable porridge, some pickles and canned meat. When the master chef saw a simple middle-aged man walking in After that, he immediately spoke.
The middle-aged man smiled honestly after hearing the words, took out a pack of paper **** wrapped in white paper for a long time, and then took out two cigarettes of an unknown brand from the inside, and handed one to the The master chef said: "Lao Li, how is today? Are there any new dishes?"
The old master took a cigarette, took a few deep breaths on the cigarette, and then carefully put it on his ear and said: "Then what fresh vegetables are there, wild vegetables are getting less and less, these few days There is almost not enough porridge in the sky, or canned food. I heard that some fields in the south are already full of various vegetables, but no one picks them, and they are all rotten. I don’t know if they sent a spaceship to grab a batch.”
A young man next to him suddenly smiled and said: "Master, what is the possibility here? The energy of spaceship flight is a large amount of stored energy. How could it be used to grab some vegetables? This is not the price of turning tofu into meat." Already?"
The old master laughed and said: "The key is that meat is not worth much now, but vegetables and fruits are very valuable. Most of the vegetables and fruits are supplied to the military, and now there are no vegetables and fruits outside. "
After saying this, a few seconds later, a strong man suddenly stood up and said: "Master, we respect you very much, you serve everyone here every day, and everyone is full, we all I respect and appreciate you very much... But master, please don’t speak ill of the army! What do you mean by giving them all the vegetables and fruits? Shouldn’t you give them?”
The strong man's voice was getting louder and louder, as if he was already angry or something, the middle-aged man surnamed Zhang said quickly: "Brother, don't worry, everyone here respects the soldiers. It's not a bad word, it's just a scratchy word, hehe, don't get excited, don't get excited, it's hot, I'm getting angry, Xiao Li, bring me my share of beer, I'll treat this big brother to drink some beer Extinguish the fire."
A young man on the other side yelled, and took a dented can of beer from somewhere. Although the exterior had been dented, it didn't seem to be leaking, and the whole can was still intact.
The middle-aged man handed the beer to the strong man. The strong man hesitated for a moment, took the beer, and then smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry... I'll just take a sip, okay, big brother , I haven’t touched this thing for several years.”
The middle-aged man smiled generously and said: "It's okay, drink it, I can allocate a can every week, brother, I see that you are still wearing canvas clothes, so you came to Human City?"
The middle-aged man pulled off the lid of the jar, took a big gulp, then let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Yes, brother, my brothers and I have been hiding in the reeds by the river I didn’t dare to open my head there, our lower body was soaked, I’m better, and I’ve been discharged from the hospital, but my brothers are probably going to have a major operation... This big brother, I’m really sorry just now, I They were rescued by the soldiers, and there were more than a hundred people rescued at the same time, all of them were compatriots who were enslaved by the foreign race by the river. If it weren't for them... I really couldn't hear this, I was really sorry just now. "
The master also smiled kindly: "Young man, it doesn't matter. Who among us here regards the People's Liberation Army as a benefactor? I was just joking just now. Food is really urgent now. The former Yanjing City buried There is not much food left, and most of it is canned food. It has been several years, and most of the food has been rotten. By the way, Lao Zhang is a team leader of the excavation team, and he knows these details best. "
The people around became interested when they heard the words. In fact, most of the people present were "newcomers" who had not yet had a job. Most of them are still eating fixed food every day. Without a job, they have no right to distribute private food, so they come to this cafeteria early in the morning to eat, while most of them who have jobs cook for themselves, and seldom come. The canteen is full of big pot meals.
Old Zhang seems to be an accident, or he lives alone, so he comes to this big cafeteria to eat fixed food every morning. He sees many people around him looking straight at him, some even in the distance Before he walked over, he lit the cigarette in his hand and took a puff. He had an idea in his heart, and then said: "Indeed, there is not much buried grain in the original Yanjing City. After all, grain is not as good as home appliances. It can be a few months at most. It rotted, and even most of the cans and the like are no longer usable. They can only be recycled into steel materials, and most of the home appliances are also damaged. You can only find specific parts and the like from them, but everyone, you don’t have to worry at all. Do you know the problem of insufficient food? The earth is completely different now."
The more Lao Zhang talked, the more excited he became. He pointed to the exit of the human city far away and said, "Do you know? When our excavation team was working there yesterday, we saw a rhinoceros! It's a real rhinoceros, and there's more than one. There are large groups of large groups, at least hundreds of them! The natural environment of the whole earth is getting better and better. As long as we don’t kill indiscriminately like those previous generations who didn’t understand, we will never be short of food , do you know? Now the city hall is already discussing whether to start hunting these wild animals that appear in large numbers, haha, maybe we can eat wild game every few days."
Everyone around laughed, not only because they were happy to be able to eat fresh meat, but also because they were happy for the prosperity of the human city. The human beings are very satisfied, especially every time they hear about a certain department, a certain government agency, a certain military agency or something, this feeling of peace of mind makes them very calm and happy.
Because only those who have experienced the catastrophe know the importance of order, especially a powerful government that is not repressive and brutal internally. In the current world, it is really important thing, that is a force organized by human beings.
After losing civilization, human beings live like pigs and dogs. No one thinks that no government is good anymore. Everyone clearly expresses the need for a strong political organization. The consensus of almost everyone in the city.
After Lao Zhang finished speaking, besides laughing, a few young and middle-aged men came to Lao Zhang with a smile, and asked politely: "Brother, I just want to ask, Do you have any extra places in your working group? Look, we have all been discharged from the hospital, and we are idle every day. We don’t know what to do. Seeing everyone working, we are envious and want to work for the human city. Fenli, look at our physique, this muscle, I'm not talking to you, it's just telling you that it's trivial for us to find someone to come out and lift two or three hundred catties."
The people next to him were all laughing, and another young man said while drinking porridge: "That's nothing. Now that human physique is starting to increase, it's no problem to lift two or three hundred catties. If you can lift it If it weighs more than eight hundred catties, I have a good place to tell you."
People around looked at this young man strangely, because this young man was rarely wearing a brand new shirt, black jeans, and a pair of leather shoes that didn't look too old. People give others a refreshing feeling.
People around him noticed him, the young man smiled heartily, drank the remaining porridge in a few mouthfuls, and ate all the pickles, and then said to the people around him: "The situation in the world is different now. Two to three hundred catties are just ordinary people, if your physical fitness is really good, then join the army, if you can carry eight hundred catties, then joining the army will be no problem."
The middle-aged man who spoke just now blushed, and said with a little embarrassment: "Let me just say, anyway, I am much stronger now, but it may be difficult to reach eight hundred catties...boy, what about you?" ? Have you joined the army?"
The young man was stunned for a moment and said: "Yes, I have already joined the army, and I will go to war the day after tomorrow. I finally have some free time to go shopping today."
When the young man said this, suddenly someone among the bystanders seemed to recognize him, and immediately shouted: "It's Zhang Heng! It's Zhang Heng, the soul man. Hello, I'm so excited, may I ask you?" Is it Master Zhang Heng?"
The people around became excited when they heard the words. Gradually, many people gathered around this side. They all looked at Zhang Heng excitedly, but Zhang Heng smiled wryly. He was on patrol In name, I went to the nurse's area early in the morning to look for Wang Xuelian, but was told that it was three hours before the opening of the female dormitory... In fact, Zhang Heng, who was too impatient, had already arrived at the open area of the dormitory at three o'clock in the morning. He is a well-known soul master, hero, founder of Human City in the South, and many other titles. It is very likely that he will be imprisoned in the first place.
As early as after Zhang Heng returned from the moon, he knew that Wang Xuelian followed Novi Tyrone and his party from Europe to the Asian Human City. As a result, he turned into a lover and pestered This little girl looks so much like his first girlfriend, even with the same name, but this little girl doesn't have the memories of being his girlfriend. Reserved and shy, as well as some emotions of fear, ended up avoiding Zhang Heng every day. As a result, he became a stalker of Zhang Heng. Zhang Heng was really depressed, but Zhang Heng really I can't bear it, I really can't bear to bear this person who is almost carved out of the same mold as my first love girlfriend, so now I have become like this, the guard who goes to the nurse camp where Wang Xuelian is working every day, gradually, this seems to have become A landscape of a human city.
Zhang Heng is surrounded by many people at the moment, and he can't stop smiling bitterly. In fact, souls don't need to eat food, especially a real demon-level powerhouse like him... yes, a real-devil-level powerhouse Or, in the battle of Human City, his obsession was shattered, and his soul was about to dissipate. He was completely rescued on the moon, but his strength rose instead of falling. The original heart and aura field, the strength has increased by more than ten times than before, and has become the strongest among the human souls.
When Zhang Heng was surrounded by many people, those people began to talk in a hurry, some expressed respect and gratitude, some expressed their vision for the future of the human city, and others Some asked Zhang Heng about the Human City army in a more practical way~IndoMTL.com~ Zhang Heng was unable to answer the questions, and thought that the next step of the army's plan had been determined, and it was basically unlikely that there would be repetitions. He said directly: "Yes, yes, in the next step, our human city will take the initiative to attack. There are our human captives, where our people are enslaved, and where our army is attacking. Those who hurt us, those who once enslaved us, and those who once ate our people, want us all to surrender! We must surrender!"
The surrounding human beings cheered immediately, and many of them were human beings who had just been sent back from alien races. Become a member of the human city's army, step out of the human city, and participate in the battle against the ancient tribes.
Just when Zhang Heng was about to say something more, suddenly bursts of urgent air defense sirens sounded from a distance. The center of the human city flew over.
At the same time, in the distance of the human city, a huge black dragon, a Chinese serpentine dragon, is about several thousand meters long, with a dark aura emanating from its body. This black dragon is tremblingly flying towards this direction. Come...
