After questioning, Zhang Lang finally understood the current situation of the Shengjing settlement.
When the disaster broke out, not everyone who breathed the red mist would mutate and die. In fact, the real infection rate was only about 80%. The remaining 20% may be due to natural antibodies, or may not be present.
Inhale enough poisonous mist to avoid the fate of mutation.
If calculated based on Shengjing’s population of 3 million, then there would be approximately 600,000 people surviving!
But as the red mist dissipated, these mutated monsters began to wreak havoc and began to attack the remaining humans crazily. Faced with this unpreventable massacre, people were unable to resist at all, and almost all of them were killed and devoured by the monsters!
Regardless of the royal family, nobles, scholars, peasants, or merchants, all are treated equally in the face of this terrible disaster!
In the end, thanks to some uninfected soldiers stationed at the top of the city, at the last moment, they killed many monsters with the help of city defense equipment and grabbed a living space!! And the leader of these soldiers was Lao Ma!
The strong city wall, coupled with enough weapons, became the last human refuge in Shengjing. Later, more and more humans who were lucky enough to survive began to gather towards the city wall, including residents inside the city and those outside the city. Slowly,
People built shelters inside the city walls relying on the fortifications, connecting with each other and working together to survive in this apocalyptic world!
"Now, what we occupy is the city gate tower of the north gate of the Holy Capital, as well as the city wall more than 400 feet east of the city tower and more than 300 feet west of the city wall. In addition to the city gate tower, it also includes nine towers!"
"The city wall is relatively narrow. To ensure smooth communication and easy communication, people are not allowed to live. Everyone settles in the tower!"
Lao Ma led Zhang Lang to visit a circle of city gate towers: "Thanks to the fact that the city wall of Shengjing is tall and thick, such a section can accommodate so many people! This gate tower is the largest, housing about six hundred people.
There are only one or two hundred people living in each of the other nine towers. Everyone usually moves back and forth inside the city wall. Occasionally, when they encounter dangerous monsters, they will go to the top of the city to control the city defense equipment to attack! But that is too dangerous and too noisy.
It’s easy to attract more monsters, so we try not to show up!”
Zhang Lang stood on the highest floor of the city gate tower, which was more than twenty feet above the ground. He could overlook almost half of the Holy Capital City to the south!
"You just said that I am the third stranger here?" Zhang Lang asked Lao Ma in confusion:
"Normally speaking, isn't it easier for strangers to survive? Especially since the Holy Capital has gathered the world's most capable strangers, and with proper organization, it is not impossible to resist monsters!"
"This..." Lao Ma sighed after hearing this:
"It can only be said to be sad... The 80% infection rate I'm talking about refers to ordinary people... The mutation rate of aliens is almost 100%... Let's put it this way, Zhang Lang, Ye Weiwei, and you are the ones I have been with since the catastrophe.
After that, there were only three strangers left that we have seen! And those strangers who mutate into monsters are often more difficult to deal with than before they were alive. Facing such a group of monsters, it is already very difficult for us to survive to this day!"
"Is there such a thing?!" Zhang Lang narrowed his eyes: "It seems like a poisonous mist specially developed to exterminate the aliens..."
"Who knows..." Lao Ma sighed: "Now all we think about is how to survive..."
Zhang Lang looked at Lao Ma and nodded: "Everything will be fine!"
This resolute man was once just a young general stationed in the city gate tower, in charge of hundreds of people. In the end of the world, he became the leader of the last survivors of the Holy Capital.
It can be seen that he is a leader who is loved by everyone. Although it is difficult in the Chengmen Building, everyone can see smiles on their faces and the atmosphere is very warm. This is something Zhang Lang has not experienced in a long time!
Just as they were sighing, there were footsteps behind them. The two looked back and saw Zhang Lang walking with a woman about his age.
"Uncle Ma, Zhang Lang!"
Zhang Lang smiled and nodded, and then introduced the woman next to Zhang Lang:
"This is my girlfriend. I mentioned it to you before, Ye Weiwei... Weiwei, this is Zhang Lang, a very powerful alien who single-handedly killed an adult golden-haired ghost!"
Ye Weiwei nodded: "Hello..." But she seemed a little shy and didn't say much.
This young couple looks to be around 20 years old, maybe a little younger. They are not very handsome and have very ordinary faces. Apart from their relatively tall and well-proportioned bodies, they are basically thrown into the crowd.
It’s a type you can’t find anywhere. But for some reason, when the two of them stand there, they have a perfect harmony! It makes people feel comfortable just looking at them!
This is probably a perfect match!
"Uncle Ma!" Zhang Lang said: "Do you still remember the plan you mentioned before? Originally, we were going to make preparations and pour out more people... Now we have an extra strong support. My opinion is, let's try it now.
Try it!”
"This..." Uncle Ma looked at Zhang Lang, nodded and said, "You can try it!"
Zhang Lang asked curiously: "What's the plan?"
"Oh...we plan to expand one or two more towers to the west!"
Uncle Ma nodded and said: "With more and more survivors gathering during this period, this section of the city wall is somewhat insufficient... However, both ends of the city wall we control were sealed a long time ago, because the walls elsewhere
There are also some monsters active and even nesting inside. If we want to expand, we need to clear out these monsters and seal a section of the city wall after occupying it. However, that is also very risky. If we are not careful, the whole army will be annihilated, and even the monsters will be attracted to
The current residential area...that’s why I haven’t taken action for a long time..."
"I'd like to help!"
Zhang Lang happily agreed! It was his duty to do something for his compatriots!
"Shall we leave now?"
"Don't rush to agree!" Lao Ma looked at Zhang Lang: "I have to ask what your abilities are first, so that we can make arrangements easily! And we also have some information on the city wall over there, so we need to discuss the plan!"
"My ability..." Zhang Lang said directly: "It is very powerful and invulnerable... I can rush to the front to resist monster attacks!"
"Exactly what we need!" Zhang Lang nodded: "My main ability is to control flames. After being attached to arrows, I can shoot explosive arrows and burning arrows, and my physical fitness is also stronger than ordinary people! Weiwei can
It can heal wounds and release a shield to resist attacks..."
Sure enough, they were reincarnations... Zhang Lang guessed in his mind that these two people might not be natural strangers at all. They gained special abilities after entering the altar, so they were not infected by the virus and survived by luck.
He estimated that the couple was afraid that it would be difficult to explain, so they concealed some of their abilities. After all, in ordinary people's impressions, aliens generally only have one ability, while reincarnators have too many and too many abilities...
However, Zhang Lang did not intend to expose them. He even wished that there would be a few more surviving reincarnations. In this way, the survivors would be stronger. Speaking of which, the combination of these two people is like the shooter and support in the canyon game.
…
"Okay..." Lao Ma nodded: "But just the three of you are definitely not enough. We also need at least ten well-trained warriors..."
"No need..." Zhang Lang shook his head: "Just find some people to clean up and deal with the aftermath! If there are too many people, it will be difficult to perform!"
