Apocalyptic waste

Wu Zong dispatched a total of thirty groups of people, except for Yu Chifeng who was alone, there were no less than three people in each group, and all of them were led by Xuan-level masters, and the weakest in the team was Huang-level intermediate.According to the original idea, each team is responsible for a province, with a period of half a year, and it is necessary to find and notify all the survivors' settlements.Of course, there is also the meaning of finding out all the existing survivors' gathering places.

Those large survivor bases are actually easier to find. You only need to judge from the smoothness of the roads, the traces of materials being looted, and the killing of zombies, and they can be easily traced.Moreover, before the end of the world, there were quite a few people who practiced outside Wuzong, and after the end of the world, they returned to the sect one after another, and they had some idea of ​​where there were survivor bases.This has lightened a lot of burden for their search work.And once you find a certain base, you can learn from the survivors of the base what other survivors live in, and so on.

Those who pass on the information will be light-hearted and go on foot. There is no need to clean up the snow and mutated plants on the road. It is faster and less troublesome than driving.

However, it didn't take half a year. Except for the people who stayed in each base, basically all the teams sent out returned, but the news they brought back was not ideal.Of the 31 provinces in the country, including the capital of God, only thirteen bases have been established, and there are several scattered small survivor settlements, with a total population of no more than 500 million.The closer to the south, the closer to the provinces and cities to rivers and lakes, the more sparsely populated they are.

This is the first rough statistics of the surviving population after the end of the world. The real situation is so shocking that even the elders of Wu Zong were frightened.

You must know that the country of Hua has a large land area and a large population, which ranks first in the entire world.Before the end of the world, the total population has exceeded 25 billion. With such a huge population base, even if there is one out of ten or one in a hundred, there will not be only such a small number left.But the reality is so cruel.

Of course, when the end of the world just happened, there must be more than this number of people who survived, but the death rate during the escape was frighteningly high, the animals and plants mutated later, there were also infighting between people, the base was breached, etc. Well, the number of people who died was probably more than twice as many as those who survived.Take the Imperial Capital Base as an example. After the base was established, the rules and regulations were not yet complete, and survivors from all directions flocked here. At that time, the population was more than three times that of the current one, and the unawakened people were ten times the awakened ones. times.

Because it just happened in the end of the world, and it is the place closest to the center, people's inherent concepts have not changed, the government wants to save people as much as possible, and the survivors also put themselves in the position of taxpayers as a matter of course, and have been rescued and protection of rights.The relationship between people is equal, and the same is true between the awakened and the non-awakened. The surviving soldiers in the army have become the front-line force to save people, wipe out zombies, collect supplies, and fight in the bloodshed. Khan also endured abuse and resentment from survivors.

People blame God and blame the government for their own situation, and are anxious. The government is devastated to rescue and resettle the survivors to feed millions of people.

The person who caused the catastrophe was a non-awakened person, and his original purpose was just to get some food and drink, and to have a safe place to sleep.Who knew that the method was too clever, more and more people were being deceived, and gradually it became a sect with great influence among non-awakened people.People are like this, the more things they hold in their hands, the more greedy they become. Under the eyes of many believers who are eager to worship, that person soon forgot his original intention and became ambitious.

Demonic rumors confuse the crowd, confuse right and wrong, send believers to lure zombies to attack the city, and at the same time fan the flames everywhere in the base, and finally take advantage of the chaos to force the palace to seize power... The layout step by step is really seamless, and it will happen when it happens. Did not graduate from elementary school.

Yes, he only finished the fifth grade, then dropped out of school to go out in the society. Before the end of the world, he was a liar, specially defrauding old men and old ladies of their money.After the end of the world, returning to his old business made him do something spectacular, and he almost succeeded.The most important thing is to find out after the fact that this person is still an unawakened person, not only him, but all of his 10,000+ believers are unawakened people.

The chaos started suddenly and ended quickly, but the consequences were unbearable. More than 100 million survivors, those who died in the resistance against zombies, those who were killed by each other, those who were innocent were affected, and those who were infected by corpse poison and could not be saved, nine out of ten stopped, and finally there were only 20 people left less than.It was not until later that the imperial capital base was rebuilt and many foreign survivors were taken in one after another, that it had its current scale.

In fact, there are quite a few cases like this in the imperial capital base. Bowei, Dongzhou, etc., are fighting for power and profit for their own selfishness, regardless of the life and death of others, and the continuation of human beings.

However, the matter has already happened, and it is useless to pursue it at this time.On the contrary, after seeing the counted number of survivors, Wu Zong's elders hurriedly began to adjust the plan, rectify what should be rectified, what should be changed, and everything should be based on preserving the existing population as much as possible.

With a population of less than 500 million, if they die, there will be no one left.Their Wu Zong wants to inherit, even if they control the whole world, what's the use if there is no one?

The change in Wu Zong's strategy allowed the ordinary survivors of the Imperial Capital base to breathe, the living environment was much better, and gradually there was some hope in their hearts.The pain will always pass, and those who are alive are fine if they don't have the conditions. Now that they have the conditions, they still have to live well after all.What kind of hatred, resentment, and injustice, when it is not a personal pain, when you are not able, you can only temporarily bear it and forget it.

The base summit meeting is scheduled for the eighth day of October in the second year of the new calendar, which is exactly a whole year after the day Wu Zong sent people out. There is no time to collect secret key information and travel. Of course, it is best to be able to bring the secret key to the meeting.The first month of the first year of the new calendar was also set by Wu Zong. The time taken was not the day when the end of the world happened, but the day when the rainstorm fell and the plants began to grow, implying new life.

In this way, Song Yan has a lot of time.Not to mention Li Muran's supernatural ability, even if he goes on the road by himself, it will only take a few days to get to the capital.Therefore, he is not in a hurry to make arrangements, so what should he do?

In the hope base, except for the soldiers who don’t pay attention to enjoyment and have no loved ones to take care of, and the survivors who have to rely on the base to not starve to death and have no money left, many people have built houses according to their own wishes.Like the group of orcs brought by Teng Jin, they are generally large in size. It is not only inconvenient to enter and exit the ordinary houses, but also difficult to move around inside, so they are all built separately, especially some of them are also infected with some of the animal genes they carry. Because of the strange animal habits from the source, the house built can be described as strange and full of primitive and rough style.Some directly opened holes in the mountains, some made huge mutant trees, built nest houses on the trees, and some made the houses like beehives, and so on.

Apart from them, some ordinary people like the elegance of the south of the Yangtze River, while others like the neatness and spaciousness of the north. Naturally, the houses they build are also different.So in the hope base, besides the rows of quadrangle courtyards that look like military camps, there are also old buildings in Wuchaping that already existed, and small courtyards of various styles, which are very chaotic, let alone beautiful, but No one cares about this.Because I have my own house, some courtyard houses that are provided free of charge to members of the base have been vacant.If a new member joins, there is no need to worry about staying.

In fact, after settling down and building defenses, for most people, there are not many things that can be done other than killing zombies.In addition, to live here for a long time, without other entertainment, it is understandable to spend more time on housing.The only pity is that the flowers and plants in the past can't be planted, making the scenery in the base a bit monotonous.

Of course, no one really cares about that.To look at the beautiful plants, there are many around the base. In terms of beauty, the flowers and trees before the end of the world may not be comparable.

And as early as the beginning of the construction of the base, Li Muran took out the bones of Uncle Wang and his two younger sisters, packed them in wooden boxes, buried them at the foot of the mountain outside the residential area, erected a monument and engraved their names.And because the small courtyard was too dilapidated to be worth repairing, it was directly demolished to make a space.

In the fourth month after arriving in Wuchaping, the fortifications were completed, all the residential buildings were completed, and two super large warehouses for storing materials were completed, leaving only some fragmentary buildings that are not urgently needed. built.

Most of the people have been idle, and their lives are back on track, and killing zombies and collecting supplies is back on the agenda.At this time, if the people in the corpse luring team don't want to, they don't need to go out, and they can do some odd jobs in the base to support themselves.Some of them have special skills, such as planting, construction, auto repair, medical care, etc., and their lives are even more worry-free, and their lives can even be considered affluent.Of course, the wealth here cannot be compared with that before the end of the world, it just means living better, eating and clothing better.

To the surprise of many people, since entering the new base, Song Yan did not live with Li Muran and his brother.Li Muran got a yard by himself and lived with his younger brother Ning Wu.Of course, with the effort she made all the way from Dongzhou, it is not too much to have such a yard.

What is strange to others is that the relationship between her and Song Yan is well known. In the environment of the end of the world, as long as the two parties see each other, they can live together and live together.But the two of them are fine, there is no fixed place on the road, and it is not that particular about whether they can live together. Now that the family is safe and they live their own lives, what is the matter?

However, others were surprised by others, but the two of them didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong.Originally, when the two were in Hulugou, their relationship was not clear, so they lived separately. Later, Song Yan turned into a beast, so Li Muran had to accompany him all the time, but after Song Yan turned into a beast, the two still lived separately. The only exception was the night after encountering Lin An's illusion.So no matter what Song Yan thinks, Li Muran is actually quite comfortable with the way the two of them get along right now, and doesn't want to change anything.

Until one day, Song Yan suddenly asked her: "Do you want to wear a wedding dress?"

Because of his casual tone, Li Muran didn't think much about it at the time, and when he was chatting, he replied casually: "I don't want to." After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he stopped talking, and accompanied him with an embarrassed smile.

Song Yan left with a dark face and disappeared for a few days.

Li Muran muttered to himself that this person talked nonsense, how could she be blamed, who would want to wear a wedding dress in such a cold day, and at the same time couldn't help feeling guilty, when he was thinking about how to coax him, Song Yan appeared again.

He and a few of his men brought back a truckload of slaughtered mutant beasts, a truckload of other ingredients, and a truckload of alcohol and tobacco.Back at the base, I didn't take a breath, and immediately asked people to arrange it. Animal skins, armor, bones and other bits and pieces were processed separately, and only the meat was picked out for use.

Then he caught Li Muran who had heard that he was back and rushed over. He kept following Li Muran, who seemed to have something to say, and brought her to a house, and stuffed her with a room full of household items.

"Set up a new house and get married." It seems that he has figured it out, don't ask this girl too much, what should he do.

"What... eh?" Li Muran came to accompany Xiaoxin, but before he could say anything, he was stunned again. Just as he was about to ask a few questions, he found that the other party's back disappeared in a flash at the door, and he just left like that .

She was a little puzzled, scratched her hair, and her eyes fell on the pile of things in front of her, but her mind hadn't recovered yet.

At this moment, Song Yan who had just left as if fleeing for his life turned back again, Li Muran was overjoyed, and wanted to catch him, and let him make it clear no matter what.

Unexpectedly, Song Yan tilted his body, dodged her hand without a trace, and asked with a sullen face, "Is there any problem marrying me?"

After the previous incidents, Li Muran actually had some preparations in his heart, so this time it was not too surprising, just looking at Song Yan's face, from her perspective, he felt that his jaw seemed to be very tight, so tight that she Inexplicably, he had the illusion that he was a little nervous.

"I..." It must be an illusion, she thought, in her impression, Song Yan has always been stern and calm, it is really difficult to associate such a person with the word nervous.

Because she thought of something else in her mind, she returned a little slower, so she lost the chance to answer.

"No problem, right? Okay, it's decided like this." Song Yan made a decision for her very decisively, and then left quickly again, without giving her a chance to go back on her word.

Li Muran was dumbfounded, feeling that things shouldn't have developed like this, but after a few seconds, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. After laughing, his expression gradually calmed down, and he solemnly greeted the empty room. The two words that she hadn't had time to say came out softly: "...Yes." If she didn't have this kind of meaning, why should she get along with him.No matter how much she respects him and fears him, she will not force herself in this kind of matter.

She didn't know that after Song Yan left the courtyard, he slowed down his pace, his expression was so serious that people who met him on the road didn't dare to say hello, thinking that something happened.It wasn't until she laughed that his expression softened, and when the word "willing" came to his ears, his frowning brows were completely relaxed, and a bright smile appeared on his face, with a slight flush.Those who peeped at him were so scared that they almost thought he had a mental problem.
