"Our world has experienced the end of the world, and there are not many people left alive now." Zheng Da explained the scene of destruction in the city, "Because some animals have evolved to be good at digging holes, and the city wall cannot completely stop them, so we can only
Focus on reinforcing the inner city. For safety reasons, people will basically stay in the inner city."
As he spoke, the car passed through a towering gate.
It does look better behind the door than from the outside. Although the houses on both sides of the street are also sealed by various dismantled metal bars, they look much neater and cleaner.
The sound of the truck made people inside and outside the house come out one after another, and the driver said "We have guests." People on both sides of the street turned from hope to excitement, and some people rushed to the car, scrambling to see what was inside.
people.
Not to mention the players, even those in Area 002 felt something was wrong with this state.
"Get out of the way, don't scare the guests!" Zheng Da stood at the back of the car and shouted outside. Those people stepped back a little, but they still stretched their necks.
"Just kidding, you all know that the environment here is not good, the food is not enough, and everyone usually doesn't have enough to eat, so we especially hope to have guests." He turned around to explain to Xu Huo and the others, "The guards will kill the guests only when they come.
The cows welcome you, and everyone can have a good meal of meat.”
"So that's it." Uncle Guan sighed empathetically.
Xu Huo leaned against the back of the car and looked at the people left behind by the truck. They couldn't say they were sallow and thin, but they were not very healthy. What stood out were their teeth, which were faintly red and had some cracks. He looked at everyone in the car with their eyes.
All eager.
It's desire.
Among the people who came out, there were only a few old and haggard women with numb expressions. The others were all men. They had not seen women for a long time. It was understandable that they instinctively stared at the women in the car, but the same was true for men.
It makes people feel strange.
"Do they eat people?" Xu Huo suddenly asked.
This caused the people in the car to pause for a moment, and everyone turned to look at him.
"I think they are a bit strange." Xu Huo seemed not to notice his companion's surprise and hints, and asked Zheng Da, "And there are too few women."
This is a fact before our eyes, and normal people will have doubts.
Zheng Da sighed first, and then said with regret: "Those who survived the disaster were either lucky or in good health. Before the establishment of Xiaohe City, they did live by eating the same kind of food.
For a while, but now I don’t need it anymore.”
"Although the escort team is not large, it is enough to ensure that everyone here has food."
"They have eaten people, can they still return to normal?" someone from Area 002 asked.
"It's not that they are forced to do that. Who would do that? They are forced to do that." Zheng Da pointed to some people sitting under the eaves. "Look at them, although they survived, they couldn't pass the test in their hearts. They are not like ghosts."
Live without ghosts."
"I didn't expect you would still be willing to keep them. If they were in our subdivision, these people would have been abandoned long ago." The person who asked the question sighed.
"We have considered what you said, but you have also seen that there are not many people in the entire Xiaohe City. This is already the last population in our world." Zheng Daodao: "No matter what, they are all compatriots.
.”
The atmosphere was not right, and Xu Huo was too sensible to ask any further questions. After understanding the whole story, he stayed still as before.
The final destination of the truck was an old commercial building in the center of the inner city. After the truck stopped, Zheng Da jumped out of the truck first and greeted several people who came out of the building.
They had notified the city's escort team in advance. Two men and two women came, both players. They greeted them kindly and asked them to wash up first.
"Conditions are limited. We only have four bathhouses here, three for men and one for women. If you don't mind, you can go together as a family. The water is all clean." The charming-looking female player pulled several women from Area 002 and pulled her over.
The close relationship said: "Usually all the people coming in and out are smelly men, and there are no more people I want to chat with. Now it's better, I can finally see a clean girl."
She said and gave a piece of candy to the little girl who bit before.
The girl was very hungry, so she took it and stuffed it into her mouth, but she was still wary of her. As soon as she got the food, she hid behind Chi Minghong.
"My surname is Ma, please call me Miss Ma." The female player didn't care about the girl's rejection and was ready to lead the way.
The two male players on Xu Huo's side were named Sun Jing and Zeng Shangping. The former took the initiative to explain that the men's and women's bathhouses were not far away, so that they could go there without worries.
Then Zheng Da and others carried away the alien species in the car and ordered people to prepare for a big banquet in the evening.
In this way, they took the elevator to the third floor and used two bathhouses facing each other.
There were more men, so they used two bathhouses. After making arrangements, Sun Jing and others left, saying that they would prepare a place for them to rest so that they could soak in peace, and that they would give them something to cushion them later.
abdomen.
People from Area 002 entered one room, and Xu Huo and four others entered another room.
Ruan Qiyan first checked everywhere in the bathhouse and said, "There is nothing packed."
There are no instruments or props.
"The fact that they dared to bring us into this building without any precautions shows that they are not worried about us causing trouble at all." Uncle Guan had doubts on his face: "I don't know what the background of these people is."
"This building has space restrictions." Xu Huo found a low stool and sat down, not intending to go into the water. "The space props can no longer be used."
Ruan Qiyan and others also tried it each, and You Xuewen sneered: "These people really don't have good intentions. They are not going to treat them as dishes!"
From the moment they met the people in Xiaohe City, they suspected that the players living here were also cannibals.
"It's almost like that." Xu Huo said: "I guess not only will they eat it themselves, but they will also share it with those outside."
"Since there is not enough food, why do we still need to feed those ordinary people?" Ruan Qiyan said: "Wouldn't it be better to simply kill them and change their lives in different zones?"
"Do you really believe that they are aborigines?" Xu Huo raised his head and glanced at him, "Even the basic needs of life cannot be met here. What reason do players have to stay and raise a bunch of trash?"
"If it is true as they say that there are only a few people left here in Xiaohe City, then there will be no reason to stay, unless they are great enough to take the initiative to take on the important task of continuing the human race."
"But even if it is, it's impossible to do it."
"First, the environment is no longer suitable for human survival, and second, those people outside should not come from the same place."
"Except for Area 002, the appearance of human beings is not much different in the areas I have been to so far, but if you look closely, there are still differences. Because the external environment is different, people in different areas will have some concentrated characteristics during the evolution process. The most obvious one is
The changes in bones are reflected in the appearance, forehead, jaw, width of the face, the shape of the ears and nose, and the length of the hands and feet."
"Generally, the closer they live, the closer their physical features are. Unless the people here were selected from different places to ensure racial diversity, otherwise, they should not be the aborigines here."
"Indeed," Uncle Guan said: "The groups that can survive through the apocalypse cannot be gathered from different places. It is usually because of the large number that only a small part survives."
"In this case, those players only have one identity."
