The Gentle Way to Use Cheats

Chapter 404 Protector, perpetrator

This group of people who dared to rob the combat team did have a decent settlement at first glance.

——A village located near the provincial road.

If it were placed before the troubled times, this village would look quite ordinary.From the fork of the provincial road, it takes only 10 minutes to walk to the village.A series of self-built houses stand in the village, some are very new and stylish, and some are quite old.Each family has its own courtyard, and each family has its own appearance.Several small roads for people to walk through were built among them, with small drainage ditches attached, and some weeds grew on both sides of the road that the villagers didn't care about.

But after the chaos, the village looks very strange.

Generally speaking, people who are not incorporated into large bases for protection are likely to be coveted by infected bodies and mutants.If these people want to survive, they usually rely on the unique terrain where they live.For example, the Liangcheng Prison where Qin Lei was originally located is almost equivalent to a peninsula state, with high walls and power grids as security protection.Another example is the village on the top of the mountain above Qinglong Cave. Because of the high terrain and air-raid shelters, the protection is also good.

And those small and micro bases on the flat ground, even in places where humans originally gathered, although they were still in full bloom when they first became chaotic, most of them have been merged into the official large bases today.There are no more than two reasons, one is that the material support cannot continue, and the other is that it is attacked by infected bodies and mutants, and it cannot continue to support.For example, the small group of hundreds of people led by Yao Huanghai before had the combined difficulties of the two, and finally had to send someone out to ask for help.

From this point of view, the village that He Lang's team—oh, it should be the Hotel team to be precise—visited now looks too strange.

This village is located on flat ground without any high walls around it for protection.

The typical open structure is simply a miracle in today's world.

By the moonlight, when He Lang saw the village from a distance, he was already very puzzled.He asked the team leader leading the way: "You live in the village?"

At this time, the team leader has already broken the jar: "Yes."

He Lang frowned: "Are there no tunnels, basements, air-raid shelters, etc?"

"No, there is no such thing in the current village."

"Then do you live together in some of the better protected buildings?"

"No, they all live in their own homes."

"Then do you have any special protection?"

"Protection?" the team leader said, "It's the fences of their homes, sometimes broken glass is inserted on them, and several houses have installed power grids. But now there is no electricity, so the power grids are basically decorations."

"Any other protective gear?"

"...Are you afraid that you will be killed by some trap later or something?" The team leader spat on the side of the road, "You have so many brothers in custody, if there is a trap, you will definitely die together, you are still afraid of this ?”

That is, there are no other special protections.

"..." He Lang frowned.Under the moonlight, the peaceful village was getting closer and closer, but He Lang felt that it looked more and more like a beast with its mouth wide open waiting to eat people.

Without special protection, these villagers don't seem to be strong in combat.Can a few sand guns keep this tiny place alive until now in a world where infected and mutants are rampant?

Song Lin noticed that there was a big dirt slope not far from the village, and it seemed that there was something covering it, which shimmered in the moonlight, so he pointed and asked, "What is that?"

"That? It's said to be a semi-finished product from the newly opened quarry and processing factory in the village." The team leader couldn't move his hand now, so he could only lift his chin in one direction, "The factory was built not far behind the village. But When the world became chaotic, the workers all ran away, the boss disappeared, and the store closed long ago.”

He Lang asked, "Why don't you run away? Isn't it safer in the base?"

"We ran away, who planted the land? Who harvested the fruit?" The team leader sneered, "Don't think that we don't know people like you in the base. They say that they provide protection and work, and exchange labor for living needs. In fact, they are forced to expropriate Our land, in turn, requires us to work and cultivate the land in order to eat what grows on our own land. What’s the point of this, huh? Why don’t we live our own, grow and eat ourselves!”

Song Lin glanced at He Lang teasingly.

He Lang said helplessly in his consciousness: You are right, but there is no other way.It is also dangerous to go out of the base to farm now, and it must be protected by special personnel. During this period, the fields must be continuously inspected to ensure that the fields are not damaged or infected.With such a high labor cost, we can only forcibly temporarily expropriate land with suitable geographical conditions and relatively fertile soil to increase output as much as possible.

What the man said is actually true.What the official base wants to guarantee is the safety of the majority of people, and this "majority" is a number in the tens of thousands.When it is extremely troublesome for these people to survive, it is usually inevitable to compromise personal interests.

However, with the shortage of supplies nowadays, it is normal for farmers whose land has been confiscated to live in a tight situation.If the base pays these people the cost of expropriation, it is unfair to more farmers whose land has not been expropriated but cannot go out to plant due to environmental hazards.

The current situation is tense and supplies are scarce, and people's material exchange has returned to a very basic level.Even if it is a base, it will only compensate for the material itself.In other words, if the villagers hand over a large amount of food, the base will pay the corresponding points.But if you just donate the land... then I'm sorry, this is your obligation in special times.

Song Lin actually didn't care much about what form the base used to support people's lives. He had experienced more turbulent times, with bloodshed and mourning, which was many times more tragic than the current world.

Looking at the dirt slope, he still felt something was wrong, and said to He Lang, "Yuan Chengbing and I went over to have a look."

He Lang nodded: "Be careful."

So Song Lin called Yuan Chengbing, and the two flew towards the slope together.Those who were escorted forward saw these two being as light as swallows in the moonlit night, flying away in the blink of an eye, and they didn't dare to resist these capable people.

Soon, everyone arrived in the village.

To be honest...there's really nothing that the Hotel team needs to defend.

As the team leader said, this village is just an ordinary village, and no extra precautions have been built.Perhaps someone noticed from a distance that the villagers who had gone out to "rob" were taken back in a desperate manner. The doors of every house were closed and there was no movement.No one dared to come out to provoke the "evil star" who suddenly entered the village, even if his relatives, neighbors, and friends were still in the hands of these people.

He Lang stood in the open space in the center of the village, looked at the village that seemed to have fallen asleep suddenly, raised his eyebrows, and pushed the team leader: "Go and call out the current manager in your village."

The captain frowned and said, "What do you want to do?"

"What do I want to do? If I want to kill people, I can raze this village in minutes, so why do I need to discuss with you here?" He Lang sneered. Call it out, no matter if it is a presbytery or a group of several people, I have no time to harm a small place like yours."

The squad leader spat to the side: "You don't need to pretend to be kind!"

"Oh, you don't want to say it?" He Lang sneered, and then shouted, "Li Li, can you break a human leg?"

Li Li raised his voice from behind: "Professional, don't worry! Tell me, who will be broken? How many?"

"The one in your hand..."

"stop!"

A loud shout suddenly came from a nearby courtyard.Everyone followed the prestige by the moonlight, only to hear the rattling door bolt, and the gate of the courtyard opened.

Several men, old and young, came out of the yard holding torches.

Song Lin and Yuan Chengbing arrived at the target slope, stepped on the slope, and realized that what was covered under their feet was actually a layer of woven cloth with alternating red and blue checks.Generally speaking, it is used for waterproofing.

"What is this?" Yuan Chengbing frowned and looked at his feet, "It looks like gravel..."

While speaking, he stepped on his feet vigorously, and there were rustling and rubbing sounds under his feet.

"This village has no defenses, but it can avoid mutants and infected bodies. This is not in line with common sense." Song Lin said, "There must be something that makes mutants and infected bodies unwilling to approach here."

"I don't think the infected body should think too much about it for the time being..." Yuan Chengbing said, "If no infected body passes by here, it is normal for them not to be infected. The nearby base has also cleared the road here, and the general infected body should have already It’s normal that the new ones haven’t reached here after they’ve been cleared. But now there are mutants flying in the sky and running underground, it’s really abnormal that this place is so peaceful.”

Song Lin nodded: "So, I want to investigate."

Yuan Chengbing asked: "Do you suspect it was caused by this earth slope?"

"I don't know, but it's okay to investigate." Song Lin took out a handheld device from his Qiankun bag, and turned on the flashlight to look at the LCD screen on it.

Yuan Chengbing came over to have a look: "What is this?"

"An instrument that quickly detects components." Song Lin replied, "It can only detect the main components in water and soil. It is relatively rough, but it is enough."

"Oh..." Yuan Chengbing asked, "Why do you carry this with you?"

Song Lin squatted down, and stabbed one end of the instrument into the soil slope forcefully.The sharp point pierced through the woven cloth, inserted into the soil slope below and replied without raising his head, "He Langrang brought it."

In fact, He Lang was worried that these things would easily enter Song Lin's mouth because he might have to look for water and food outside during the mission, so he asked Song Lin to bring one.But the man didn't make it very clear at the time, and Song Lin didn't take it to heart. He just thought it was He Lang who needed it, and stuffed it in his Qiankun bag.

Now it really comes in handy.

Song Lin pressed the detection button, and soon, the instrument sounded "Dididi" and the red light flashed at the same time.

He picked it up, illuminated the screen of the instrument with a flashlight, and saw the analysis results displayed on the LCD screen above.

Yuan Chengbing thought that the sound and flashing lights meant that the inspection was completed, so he approached and asked, "How is it?"

Song Lin stood up: "Mutated animals... Will they evaluate the impact of the environment on them? Will they give up approaching a place because the living environment is unfavorable?"

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"...it's a radioactive source." Song Lin narrowed his eyes, darting back and forth on the huge soil slope under his feet, his expression condensed.

"The radiation exceeds the standard."
