"Hey! What are you two dogs doing? Why are you wandering around outside at night? You are not afraid that grandpa will treat you like living corpses and shoot you to death!"
Suddenly a beam of light shone on the garbage mountain. A man carrying a shotgun roared viciously at Lin Tao and the others. The flashlight in his hand kept pointing at their eyes. He probably didn't recognize Lin Tao and the others as strangers. His face
There was nothing unusual about it, so Lin Tao blocked the bright light with his hands and shouted: "The brothers who went out in the morning are all outside. We are the only two running back. Open the door quickly and let us in!"
"Haha~ Two unlucky bastards!" The man laughed, turned around and shouted: "Open the door, there are two unlucky bastards coming back, just search them for any cigarettes, and give me a few if they have any!"
"Squeak~"
The rusty iron door was opened, making a shaky and hard sound. I don't know where the two doors were removed from. There was a row of red letters vaguely painted on them: "Fireworks are strictly prohibited in the warehouse area", and
The huge plaque above the door is even more amusing. It boldly says - The No. 1 Gathering Place in East China!
"Hey! Stand there and don't move, let me search you..."
As soon as Lin Tao and Wang Rang walked into the gate, four or five men surrounded them fiercely. There was only a brazier made of gasoline barrels lit inside the gate, which illuminated the ragged men in front of them in a strange way.
It's just that they didn't hold guns in their hands, they were all cold weapons. There was even a man carrying a homemade bamboo bow on his back, and his yellow teeth were exposed when he smiled sinisterly.
"Why...why should I search you?"
Before Lin Tao could speak, Wang Ran was the first to quit. He hurriedly took off the Star-seizing Knife from his back and held it in his hand. He was stunned for a moment before he remembered to take off the sheath. He just waited for him to show the sharp Seizing Knife.
After the Star Sword, what was waiting for him was not a concession from the opponent, but a bright look in their eyes. The man with the wooden bow on his back immediately shouted excitedly: "Fuck! What a great knife, don't follow me.
Grab it, this knife is mine!"
The man with yellow teeth didn't seem to care about Wang Ran at all. He pulled out a broken machete from his waist and walked over with a grin. Wang Ran's panic look showed that he was a rookie, and a rookie would naturally only be bullied. Man
Seeing that Wang Ran actually took two steps back subconsciously, he chuckled and said: "Hey boy! Just give me the knife obediently, and then let us search you and get out, otherwise I will... um..."
The yellow-toothed man's voice suddenly stopped, and he let out a horrified whine. His eyes looked at the silver pistol inserted in his mouth in disbelief. The menacing look in his eyes immediately turned into pleading, and Lin Tao, who was holding the gun,
Then he directly pulled the pistol sleeve into the opponent's mouth, loaded the bullet into the chamber, and said with a sneer: "What? Do you really think we are rookies?"
"You...you are not from us!"
A man holding an iron spear in his hand reacted immediately and took two steps back in panic. Although there were more than 10,000 people here, it was impossible for them to know everyone, but if they didn't look up and down all day long, at least they could look familiar, and Lin Tao
The large silver pistol in his hand is so representative that anyone who has seen it once will never forget it!
"Did I say they are from you?" Lin Tao smiled disdainfully, and then said nothing. He just hit the man in front of him with his pistol again. The man with yellow teeth smelled a mixture of gun oil and gunpowder smoke.
Coupled with the bright yellow bullet in the barrel, he had no doubt about the authenticity of the gun. He waved his hands back in a panic and shouted vaguely: "It's... it's a real guy, spread out... spread out, spread out quickly"
…”
The men at the back immediately dispersed and looked at Lin Tao with bewildered expressions. Lin Tao raised his eyebrows with a trace of disdain, pulled out his pistol and wiped it on the man in front of him. But instead of feeling humiliated, the man in front of him didn't feel humiliated.
He took two steps back and shouted as if he was being pardoned: "Yes... I'm sorry, Grandpa, I'm too young to see the mountains. You... please do as you please!"
"Walk!"
Lin Tao put away his pistol and strode inside with a nervous Wang Ran. Wang Ran seemed extremely unaccustomed to the environment here. He glanced around in fear and asked Lin Tao: "How come the people here are like bandits?"
?It doesn’t make sense at all, it’s scarier than I imagined!”
"This is the end of the world!" Lin Tao shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Whoever has the strongest fist here is the right one. In fact, you should be lucky that Li Shuibao still has some brains, otherwise we will attract the wolves here.
Yeah, that’s really hell!”
"Then...will anyone come to take advantage of us?" Wang Ran asked still worried.
"Except for my knife, is there anything valuable in your body?" Lin Tao laughed very teasingly and said, "Don't worry! The people here are not crazy. Seeing that we don't have any oil or water on us, they won't pay attention to us.
of!"
Lin Tao took Wang Ran and continued walking inside. There was basically no power source here. It was all illuminated by the moon in the sky and the bonfires of poor people on the roadside. Fortunately, the moon in the sky was surprisingly big now, and the two of them stumbled as they walked.
On the way, Wang Ran seems to be bolder now that he has Lin Tao’s guarantee.
He stood up a little, holding the star knife in his hand and looking around, curious about everything he looked at, and couldn't help but ask: "Brother, your place is not the same as here, right? Uh... I mean the living conditions, here are simply the same
It’s like a beggar’s nest. Look, there are people sleeping on the floor of the factory!”
"Small gathering places are basically like this. Our place can already be called a city, but the management here is really bad. This is the first time I have seen a gathering place with more than 10,000 people in such a bad state!"
Lin Tao also curled his lips in disdain. Even the conditions in the slums there were much better than here. At least they had their own homes. But at a glance, the people here were all sleeping in empty factories.
Yes, the ground was full of people lying in various directions, and the unpleasant stench was not much better than the smell of living corpses.
"Oh my god! If I lived in a place like this, I might as well die. It's too terrible!" Wang Ran frowned deeply. Some people gathered on the roadside to warm themselves by the fire looked at them with numb and empty eyes.
Not covering their bodies is the keynote for all of them, and Wang Ran believes that even the eyes of the living corpses after seeing the prey are much more vivid than theirs. Each one of them seems to be no longer a human being, but a body that has been deprived of their bodies for a long time.
The walking dead who have lost their souls!
"Haha~ don't worry! Every gathering place will have its place for extravagant enjoyment! Look over there..."
Following the direction pointed by Lin Tao, Wang Ran subconsciously turned around and saw an iron fence between the two factory buildings. After that, there was a light that he had not seen for a long time. It was emanating from many places similar to shops.
, and the light is not monotonous and bright yellow, colorful lights also light up intermittently.
"Wow! Where is that place?" Wang Ran's eyes lit up, and he stretched his head eagerly to look around, but this was obviously not the way in. Lin Tao patted him on the shoulder and said: "Of course it is the rich area here, let's go
Come on, let’s go over and have a look!”
After walking forward for about fifty or sixty meters, a concrete avenue suddenly opened up, and the road was no longer full of mess. Bright lights shot out from behind a factory building. Lin Tao and Wang Ran immediately turned the corner.
I saw the entrance to the so-called wealthy area. The lights were brightly lit behind a cut fence. A high-wattage spotlight shone directly on the entrance. Two bored men sat on chairs in front of the door and read.
There are old magazines, and it seems that people who enter are still being selected.
Lin Tao took out cigarettes and lit one for Wang Ran and himself, and then walked in with a swagger under the suspicious eyes of the gatekeeper. However, when Lin Tao saw the whole street, he immediately became disappointed. Although there were many places along the street.
Even though small-wattage light bulbs are used, it is still difficult to hide the dilapidated and shabby scene. Most of the houses are lit by oil lamps or braziers, and the glass doors and windows are also very incomplete. They are either made of paper or simply a few broken boards.
, which made Lin Tao, who was accustomed to the bustling scene, a little uncomfortable for a while!
This street is still very different from what Lin Tao imagined. It is not a shopping place such as a pedestrian street. There are only a few messy grocery stores and shampoo rooms here and there. Most of the houses are basically residential buildings.
Among the passers-by, you can't see the kind of bling and luxury spenders in the university town. The business atmosphere is hundreds of years behind the university town!
"Where are we going?" Wang Ran was very curious. Everything he saw was new, especially the ladies in the roadside shampoo room who only wore three-point suits to attract customers. It opened his eyes even more. Lin Tao was interested in those exposed
The girls turned a blind eye and said with a smile: "The best place to go to know about a place is the bar. All kinds of gossip will be collected there. Don't look at it. The girls in the bar are definitely prettier than these!"
"Oh!" Wang Ranmu nodded blankly. This time he knew where the bar was without Lin Tao's guidance. The place with deafening music in the middle of the long street was naturally the place, and it was the same as those low-consumption bars before the apocalypse.
There would be a series of hooligans squatting at the door.
There is no signboard on the door of the bar, but the lights are extremely bright and gorgeous. It is a three-story light blue building. A copper logo hanging on the top clearly indicates the previous purpose of this place -
—Dengzhou City Economic Development Zone Local Taxation Bureau!
Wang Randong's looking around immediately attracted the attention of the hooligans in front of the bar. It seemed that he was not from the gathering place. Even Lin Tao's digital military uniform was particularly conspicuous. Some shrewd hooligans had already started to use it quickly.
The eyes conveyed the signal, and the malicious look was all seen in Lin Tao's eyes. Lin Tao smiled slightly, and just pushed back his open coat, and a large silver pistol was immediately exposed. The expressions on the faces of the little hooligans
He immediately condensed and looked at Lin Tao in great surprise. It seemed that having a pistol here was pretty awesome!
Lin Tao and Wang Ran strode to the bar, opened the dirty curtain on the door, and a thick smell of smoke mixed with body odor hit his face. Lin Tao had expected it, and he held his breath the moment he opened the curtain.
, but Wang Ran, who had never experienced anything powerful, was knocked out of the way. Fortunately, Lin Tao, who had quick eyes and quick hands, caught him and kept him from falling upside down. He followed Lin Tao and stumbled in with his face turned blue.
