End of World's Businessman

Entering late October, the previous good weather seemed to change overnight, with continuous rain. In just a few days, the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees, and everyone put on thick clothes.The city of Lancheng is still busy with autumn harvest and planting in full swing. There is an energy shield to keep out the wind and rain, and rainy days will not affect the city at all.Outside the city, mutated insects are desperately accumulating energy for the coming winter, and their attacks are extremely crazy. Almost every now and then, a small swarm of insects will attack Lancheng. The swarm of insects is often accompanied by a wave of corpses. In order to prevent a large-scale attack, the recent period During that time, Wu Ye and Qin Wuhua frequently issued cleaning tasks in the Corpse Hunters Union as the city lord and deputy city lord.

Corpse hunters do this kind of cleaning task, in addition to getting an additional 20% contribution value reward, there will also be a certain credit point subsidy.The momentum of Lancheng's development is rapid, Wu Ye's position is stable, and the supply of materials is relatively stable. As a result, prices have also been maintained at a relatively stable level. Lancheng's current credit points are almost as popular with survivors as crystal cores and gold .

In other settlements, in addition to the impact of drought and flood natural disasters, the planting industry is often looted and destroyed by mutated insects, and poor harvests are almost the norm. Some medium-sized settlements with weaker strength are simply devastated by insects.Since the harvest at the end of summer, Lancheng has received many requests for food purchases from settlements. Lancheng has surplus grain that can be sold for a large part, but when such grain has been transferred to the survivors several times, the price has gone up. how many times.

With the repeated rise in prices, the virtual currency will inevitably depreciate faster than the crystal nucleus and gold. Over time, the currency system in many settlements exists in name only and becomes a dead letter.

In Mist City, if there is a credit point subsidy in the city-state task reward, the corpse hunters who receive the task will inevitably flock to it; Calmly ignore.

Some corpse hunters actively went out to the city-state to clean up the bugs and zombies outside the city. In autumn, although the insect swarms and corpse attacks were frequent, they were suppressed within a controllable range, and no large-scale zombie siege had been formed.

Compared with the tranquility of Lancheng, many settlements in the north fell into chaos one after another under the onslaught of the autumn insect swarm.

However, after the worms and zombies in Lancheng moved northward, many small settlements in the north that were struggling to survive with large and medium-sized settlements were destroyed one after another. Some weaker medium-sized settlements were either destroyed or their people fled in all directions. The settlements, large settlements, and even the capital are all gritting their teeth and struggling.

Today, more than four years after the outbreak of the D virus, supplies are scarce, corpses and insects are everywhere, natural disasters continue, mutated plants are becoming more and more ferocious, and roads are difficult to find. Most of the survivors hold hot weapons in their hands and their hearts are as cold as iron. It has long been abandoned from life, and fleeing now means chaos and death, which is many times more difficult than at the beginning of the end of the world.

The survivors yearn for Lancheng, but Lancheng is too far away for many people. Except for a few survivors with extraordinary strength or strong financial resources, they will go to Lancheng at all costs, and many survivors choose to live in nearby large and medium-sized settlements. However, many more people were buried in the corpse (worm) belly during the escape.

Among the large and medium-sized settlements that have not yet been broken down, many people want to wait for the weather to be colder, and the zombies and insects outside are not so active and dense, and then carpool to go south to Lancheng.

As the military satellite city of Lancheng, Yuanshui has always enjoyed the technical and personnel support of Lancheng.

According to Wu Ye's wishes, Ji Xiang successively dispatched debt survivors with relatively clean backgrounds to Yuanshui. Unknowingly, the number of people living in Yuanshui has exceeded 80, almost reaching the current limit of Yuanshui.

When there are more people, there are more zombies and insects who follow the sound and smell.

Qin Wuhua specially arranged for the guards of the city to station in Yuanshui inhabited area in turn, and they were rotated once a month, with three regiments coming each time.On the Yuanshui side, Huang Qianmu and Zheng Daping, who were in charge of the garrison and management, selected more than 6 guards in addition to the first few thousand special guards, plus the guards sent by Lancheng, there were about 10 troops.

Different from the situation in Lancheng, most of the survivors here in Yuanshui came to work to pay off their debts. There were very few free corpse hunters. The daily work of cleaning up zombies and bugs was all done by guards. The work of guards was in Bilan. The city is much more arduous. Similarly, the guards have a higher proportion of mission rewards and get more rewards.

Although Yuanshui is not as prosperous and lively as Lancheng, it is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has abundant products. It is completely self-sufficient in terms of grain, meat and food. With the special approval of Qin Wuhua and Wu Ye, the guards are full for breakfast, and there is quite enough dry food, oil and water at noon. , the guards can eat a meal of meat every night, but the guards in Lancheng can only eat meat the next day.Therefore, even though Yuanshui's work was much more arduous, the guards did not have any objections. On the contrary, because of the high allowance and good treatment, everyone was very happy to come and station for a month at a time.

At the beginning, the survivors who came to Yuanshui to work and pay off their debts were quite confused. It was only natural for them to pay off their debts, and it was pretty good for them to be able to save their lives on credit. Even if they had to work day and night to pay off their debts They also admitted it, but they were afraid of being sent to a secret research institute, which would be more terrifying than death.

In the last days, everyone wants to unlock the secrets of the D virus and save their loved ones who have been infected by the virus. Almost every settlement has research laboratories of one kind or another. Once they enter those places, no one has ever seen them. Come out whole, that is the real life but not the dead.

When they really arrived in Yuanshui, they realized that they were thinking too much.

Yuanshui is not as prosperous as Lancheng, and they can only get one-third of their wages for their work, and the rest of their wages are used to pay off debts, but here they only need to work 10 hours a day, and double overtime pay will be paid for the overtime. Overtime pay can be fully controlled by the factory, and the factory provides free food and lodging.Their children can also study and study for free in the school founded by the city lord, and the school also manages two meals a day.

Lancheng has an energy shield, and here it is too, so you don't have to worry about being attacked by zombies and bugs.There are still a lot of undeveloped barren hills here, and you can contract them to develop and cultivate them yourself with a little money. If you don’t know how to plant them, the developed cultivated land can be resold to settlements in turn. For experienced land reclamation, the price difference between You can earn some money by working in a factory.

Therefore, for many people, the life here is not difficult, and even for some disadvantaged groups, the time in Yuanshui is the most relaxed life they have ever lived after the end of the world.

However, with the passage of time, the settlements closest to the south of Huaguo are only Lancheng and Yuanshui. Although the mountain roads around Yuanshui are rugged, Yuanshui, which has more than 80 survivors, has an unparalleled attraction to zombies and bugs.

It is not difficult for the guards to rely on powerful firepower to deal with zombies below level [-], but once zombies of level [-] or [-] appear, it is difficult for simple shells to lock their fast-moving tracks. It is difficult to kill them, and these high-level zombies, especially the fusion zombies, have considerable appeal to zombies and bugs. Once they cannot be eliminated in the first place, they will inevitably detonate a large-scale zombie siege, and eventually cause incalculable losses .

Therefore, after the power contest ended, Qin Wuhua sent Qian Xin and Zhao Qianyu to Yuanshui for permanent residence.Qian Xin and Zhao Qianyu have both reached the sixth-level intermediate level, and with the help of exercises, the pressure on Huang and Zheng has been greatly relieved.

"Do you really believe those yellow hairs?" Qian Xin took a deep breath on the cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke ring, and asked Zhao Qianyu in a suppressed voice.

As soon as they left the settlement this morning, they saw thick smoke billowing from a mountainside on the opposite side. Fearing that a fire would affect Yuanshui, Qian Xin made a decisive decision and personally led a team of thousands of people up the mountain to investigate the situation.

Whether forced or voluntary, the mutated animals on the hills near Yuanshui have basically "taken refuge" in Yuanshui. Now on the mountain, apart from zombies, they are mutated insects, and there are also various mutated plants with strong territorial awareness, which is very dangerous.

Rao Qian Xin and Zhao Qianyu led the team personally, and when they arrived at the destination, [-]% of the guards were injured.

The source of the thick smoke was a modified military plane. Qian Xin recognized at a glance that the logo on the plane was from Germany in the continent of Europe. When they arrived, the people on the plane had already escaped successfully.The seven of them were not seriously injured because they brought healing-type supernatural beings and first-aid medicines, but if Qian Xin hadn't led people to arrive in time, it was almost impossible for them to get out of this mountain forest.

After successfully escaping from danger, these guards from the largest survivor colony in Europa continent told Qian Xin and others that the situation in Europa continent was very bad, and now they only had the last three large settlements left, facing the elusive seventh-level zombies , they may be wiped out at any time.

The total land area of ​​the thirty or so allied countries on the continent of Europa is half the size of China, and the population is less than one-fifth of China. The corresponding number of zombies is also smaller, and most countries cannot control guns, and the D virus After the outbreak, many survivors managed to escape from the city, and under the organization of the government, large and small settlements were quickly formed. The proportion of survivors reached 8%, which is much better than that in country Z.

However, it didn't take long for their initial advantage to fade.

The latitudes of these countries are generally high, and the long and extremely cold winter took away the lives of many survivors. The short summer and low temperature led to a sharp reduction in food production, and the attacks of hunger and plague took turns. dropped by two-thirds.

When the mutated bugs began to proliferate in large numbers, and the sea zombies landed frequently, the advantage of fewer people turned into a disadvantage.

By the time Ted and others came to ask for help, the number of survivors in the entire Europa League was less than 500 million.

In this plane, Huaguo is not only a populous country, but also a world-class superpower. Even though crossing the continent is much more dangerous than crossing the ocean by air, the Europa Alliance still sent several elite teams over.

Calling for help is one thing. Since the end of the world, communication systems around the world have long been paralyzed by electromagnetic waves, turbulent magnetic fields, and natural disasters. Even if they are partially restored later, the communication range is limited to settlements, not even within the scope of a country. There is no way to contact, let alone understand the situation abroad.Therefore, another task for Ted and others is to understand the current situation in Huaguo.Then, depending on the situation, see if there is any place where we can help each other and cooperate.

However, Ted and others did not expect that Yuanshui already had many technologies that they were experimenting with or at the theoretical stage, such as energy shields, D-virus vaccines with a cure rate of 50%, fusion weapons, contracted beasts, etc. , and bringing some of these technologies home is enough to save many people and change many things.

However, how could others easily hand over these incomparably precious technologies?

After discussion, Ted and his team decided to reveal their own bargaining chip, which is their only bargaining chip now.

"No matter what they say is true or not, when we get to the boss, the boss will naturally have a way to make them speak the truth. Moreover, if they are telling the truth, then we can't let them go." Zhao Qianyu tore a piece and cut it A piece of fresh pork was handed to the mouth of his contracted beast. The little wolf cub had grown into a majestic wolf, with a gloomy and aggressive personality just like his master, possessing a strange and aggressive level 5 peak ability of the dark system. The position in the mutant wolf army of the personal guards is second only to Big Hui.

"That's true, I hope they didn't lie." Qian Xin glanced at Ted and the others who were eating under the tree in the distance. All of them looked like reincarnated starving ghosts. They were soldiers after all. That's all, as for grabbing your eyes red?It's a shame, it's a shame.

If the second young master was here and knew Qian Xin's thoughts, he would pat him on the shoulder and tell him earnestly: See, you can only have meat if you follow me.

However, the second young master was not here, and he was looking at the poor boss rabbit with a limped leg right now with a headache.
