Chapter 173 Imperial Capital Base

"What are the conditions for entering the base?" Seeing that Li Muran was silent, Song Yan had no choice but to ask.

"Of course." The woman replied, and immediately explained the general situation of the imperial base for the two of them.

It turns out that at the beginning of the end of the world, none of the nine big brothers at the top of the pyramid survived. In the end, the five big families took the lead to build a base in the suburbs of Beijing to accommodate survivors and stabilize the situation.At that time, the base treated both awakened and non-awakened people equally until a catastrophe caused by non-awakened people almost destroyed the entire base. After the base was rebuilt, the status of non-awakened people became extremely low.

"It turns out that the base is not in the current Changlin, but in Yulongtai. At that time, there were more than 100 million survivors." The woman narrowed her eyes slightly, and a trace of blood flashed inside, as if she had returned to the dark blood flow. In Chenghe's month, he showed a complex expression of anger or sadness on his face. After a while, he continued: "More than half a year has passed, and many survivors have been admitted, but now the number of people in the base is only three to 10,000+. You can think of how many people died at that time."

"So now when unawakened people enter the base, unless they are led by a supernatural person, they have to sell their bodies." Looking at Li Muran's yellow-skinned and skinny appearance, the woman shook her head, as if she felt that selling herself like this would be difficult. Can't sell for a good price.

"Sell yourself?" Song Yan was very surprised, and Li Muran, who had been lowering his head and thinking hard about how to go back in a short time, also raised his head when he heard these two words.

"Yes. The unawakened people who follow the supernatural beings into the base can barely be regarded as civilians, but their freedom is severely restricted. They cannot enter and leave the base at will. Even walking in the base requires a time-limited permit. And Those who sell themselves in will be divided into several categories after various evaluations. Some of the bases are used for their own use, and the other part is resold to people with better conditions as slaves. These non-awakened people are absolutely not allowed to be taken out of the base. You It can also be seen as another form of protection and commitment from the base to them, lest someone with supernatural powers use them as cannon fodder."

Although there was a reason for the incident, Song Yan and Li Muran's faces turned bad when they heard that the unawakened people were treated like slaves in the imperial base, even knowing that the status of the unawakened people in other bases was not high.Song Yan has never looked down on unawakened people, because some of the group of men who vowed to follow him to the death are unawakened people. Even if they are members of the Corpse Squad, he will not deliberately use them to fill his life. They were accepted only with the idea of ​​being able to help a group.Similarly, he is not a philanthropist. He asked the brothers to use their lives to protect a group of strangers, so it is only natural for them to do what they can.He never imagined that it should be the central place that all survivors hoped for, but he would directly trample many unawakened people who had managed to survive into the mud. If this continues, other bases will also compete. If you follow suit, it will be difficult for those who are not awakened to stand up again.And that was not what he wanted to see.In his view, the most important thing for human beings to do right now is to unite closely to fight against disasters, rather than fighting among themselves first.It's a pity that both the Dongzhou Base and the Imperial Capital Base have disappointed him.

As for the reason why Li Muran felt uncomfortable, it was because she herself had been an unawakened person for a while, and the children Yang Yang and Fu Dan were with her, as well as Brother Yi, Brother Fat, Jie Chen, Pei Yuan, etc. However, the people she regards as friends are all unawakened, so she couldn't help feeling disgusted with the Imperial Capital Base for a while.After enduring and enduring, he suppressed his temper and said in a low voice: "Then it's okay if you don't go in?" Although I asked like this, but when I thought of the ordinary people who came here after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, they would return with disappointment , she still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Yes. Why not?" The woman laughed, "Do you think the base is willing to accept a group of unawakened people who are not only useless but also cause trouble? That also requires a lot of living supplies. It's a pity for a stubborn person like you It's really rare, most of the ordinary people who came to the imperial capital would rather be slaves than leave." When she said these words, there was a faint contempt and sneer in her tone, she didn't know it was her nature, It was the catastrophe that made her hate the unawakened very much.

Li Muran pursed his lips tightly and stopped talking.She can understand the thoughts of those people. In the face of life and dignity, no matter which one she chooses, she can understand it.

Song Yan asked about the base again.Although his memory was missing from time to time, he still remembered which family he was from. Since he came here by accident, of course he had to find out about the situation.In his opinion, leaving aside the matter of going back for the time being, this is actually a rare opportunity.If he returns to Yunzhou with his convoy to build a base, he doesn't know when he will be able to reach the imperial capital.Right now, communication is difficult and news is blocked, so he can know the situation at home and the base of the imperial capital earlier, which is good for himself and for the establishment of the base in the future.

It may be that the initial impression of him was not bad, so the woman answered in detail.While speaking, the fortress-like silver-gray tall metal city wall appeared in everyone's sight. From a distance, you can see the well-distributed machine gun muzzles and turrets. Before you get close, you already have a strong sense of oppression.But for the survivors living in it, it is probably a sense of security.

"Okay, you guys get off here." Before reaching the city gate, the car stopped without warning, the woman said to them.Clearly no intention of taking them in.As she mentioned before, whichever supernatural person brings an unawakened person in, then the unawakened person is his responsibility, and if anything happens in the future, he will go to him directly.They met by chance, and it was out of good intentions that they were able to take a ride. Naturally, there was no reason to guarantee them.

Song Yan and Li Muran are not ignorant people, they got out of the car immediately after thanking them, as for the favor in the future, they will naturally have to repay it, but there is no need to deliberately do this, after all, they have been in the same car for so long, and the other party does not even have a name. Not telling them means that they don't want to have anything to do with them anymore, so it's not easy for them to ask.

Watching the car leave, Li Muran suddenly felt relieved, and had to admit that when that woman kissed your wife, your man, she had the urge to dig a hole in the floor of the car and bury herself in it, so much so that now she was faced with Song Yan was a little unnatural.Looking up at the sky, there has been no sun for a long time, so I can only rely on the light to barely judge the time.It should have been noon when they were blocked by the zombies, and after so long a delay, I'm afraid it will soon be dark.

"Director, what should we do?" she asked.Knowing that no matter how anxious she is, it will not help, so she can only suppress her anxiety and hope that Yu Song Yan can find a good way. After all, it is impossible to return to the team in a short time only relying on her supernatural power.

"Your ability...Forget it, advance the base." Song Yan originally wanted to ask her what her ability was, but she knew the answer would not be too pleasant from her expression, so she changed her words temporarily.From the woman before, he knew that there is no need to pay any fees to enter the base, but after entering, no matter whether you are renting or buying, you must find a place to live as soon as possible, because the base does not allow sleeping on the streets.If a suspicious person is seen, the patrolling team will shoot directly.

"But we don't have a crystal nucleus." Li Muran said.Without crystal nuclei, even if they could enter the base, they might not be able to find a place to spend the night.

"Let's go, I have a solution." Song Yan said, he put the gun on his shoulder, threw the empty backpack to Li Muran, and walked to the base first.

Li Muran had no choice but to keep up, but she planned in her heart that as soon as she got back to the convoy, she would immediately take Yang Yang and the others away. It would be too dangerous to follow Director Song.Of course, the reason why she had this kind of thought was not only that she realized that she could not hold on to her own opinion in front of Song Yan, but also partly because of the words of the woman before.She felt a little embarrassed.

From time to time, convoys roared past them, and finally formed a long convoy in front of the base.It's not uncommon for the two of them to walk with their hands empty or on their legs, but there are not many of them, and most of them are in a group of a dozen or twenty, so they are a bit eye-catching when there are only two of them.Li Muran has long been used to all kinds of gazes, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't like them, but Song Yan has always been the one sitting in the car. Now that the role has been changed, he doesn't seem to feel uncomfortable, and he walks calmly, with big steps Calm, giving people a sense of self-confidence that comes from the bones.

The city gate is very large, divided into three passages, two passages are reserved for cars, and the remaining one is for pedestrians to pass through.Regardless of whether they are residents of the base or outsiders, as long as they return to the base, they must go through inspections to make sure that they have not been scratched or bitten by zombies.Seeing so many people lined up in front, Li Muran and Song Yan thought that it would be dark when it was their turn, but who knew that the person standing in front of them had already entered the base in about half an hour.And they also saw clearly that the inspection method of the imperial capital base turned out to be to scan with instruments.Based on Song Yan's understanding of various medical instruments, he couldn't figure out what it was after looking at it for a long time, but what is certain is that it is the crystal nucleus rather than the power supply that provides energy to the instrument.

When that kind of instrument sweeps towards the human body, it emits a gentle milky white light. Even if Song Yan adjusted his whole body perception to the maximum, he didn't feel any sensation. He was a little disappointed at once, and he couldn't help but have reservations about the function of this instrument. After all, he hasn't seen anyone who has been detected to have wounds caused by zombies.

After both of them had been checked and it was confirmed that nothing was wrong, someone at the next stop asked about their names and their abilities. When they found out that Li Muran was not an awakened person, the recorder looked at her strangely. , but didn't say much.After Song Yan reported the ability, he didn't say that he could go in like this, but asked him to demonstrate it on the spot to prove it was true, and the two got the pass.Of course, what Li Muran got was just an accompanying certificate, which meant that she was attached to Song Yan.After being repeatedly warned that they must find a place to live temporarily after entering, and choose a team or force to join within three days, the two were finally able to enter the base.

Don't talk about how they will find a place to stay this night, just talk about the convoy.When the convoy finally rushed out of the group of zombies under the command of Xiao Sheng, they rushed all the way to the brother country that Song Yan had set in advance. He didn't want to find that when he reached the canyon, it was densely occupied by mutated plants, let alone the vehicles. , that is, no one can pass.Looking back at the zombies that were chasing after them in the distance, everyone couldn't help but look desperate.
