Five days later, in the Kowloon District of Hong Kong, a white tiger carried a young man on his back and slowly walked along the deserted streets. From time to time, several zombies rushed towards him from both sides of the street.
boom!
Qin Tiange casually hit the zombie in front of him with a halberd. He looked around and saw dilapidated streets, abandoned vehicles, and dust everywhere.
After the apocalypse, the human world has changed. There are abandoned cars, dilapidated buildings and streets, empty shops, and mess everywhere.
Zombies wander around during the day, mutants appear at night, and all kinds of mutated biological insects are rampant, making the surviving humans tremble.
Many people began to gather together consciously, and gradually formed large and small gathering places, living hard by hunting mutant creatures for food.
In Kowloon District of Hong Kong, the largest gathering place of survivors, Kowloon Walled City stands in the most prosperous center of Kowloon District.
More than 80% of the survivors in the entire Kowloon area are gathered here. It is a huge base with at least ten or two hundred thousand survivors alive inside.
"The gathering place of Jiulong Village that Qianlu mentioned should be right in front."
Riding a white tiger, Qin Tiange stopped in front of a dilapidated building. After careful observation, he soon discovered that some steel was welded between the buildings to form a defensive wall.
He guessed that this should be the gathering place of Jiulong Village mentioned by Qianlu. She had been here several times and was naturally familiar with it, so she told Qin Tiange the news.
It took Qin Tiange five days to find this place, and the situation here seemed to be worse than imagined.
"Kowloon Walled City is built on the sea. Don't you know that the sea is more dangerous?"
After walking around for a while, Qin Tiange discovered that this gathering place was actually built on the coast, with the sea to the south and two gates to the east and north.
To the west is a mountain range, which seems to be a good defensive site. Unfortunately, Qin Tiange knows that the ocean is more dangerous.
In the entire Kowloon Walled City, the outer defense circle is made up of rows of high-rise buildings welded to each other. There is also a reinforced concrete wall blocking the interior and two defense nets.
"Xiao Bai, you go and play in the mountains over there for a few days first."
Soon, Qin Tiange came to the entrance of the east gate and hid on the street. After getting off the back of Bai Hu, he told Bai Hu to go into the mountain to play for a few days.
He didn't want to parade around the city with his white tiger, which could easily cause trouble or even attract the prying eyes of some people.
Even if he wasn't afraid, and he didn't want to add to his troubles, he might as well let the white tiger go into the mountains to play by himself for a few days, and then call him after he left.
Roar!
The white tiger roared low, turned back three times with one step, and finally accelerated, running towards a mountain range in the west, where he would go to play for a few days.
As for Qin Tiange, he walked towards the gate of the gathering place in front and saw several people patrolling and guarding from a distance.
These people were all heavily armed and looked very fierce. They were watching the situation outside the gate of the gathering place vigilantly.
At the gate, people were coming in and out from time to time. Qin Tiange happened to fall behind a small team that was about to enter, and followed it into the gathering place of Jiulong Village in front.
"Damn it, I'm really unlucky today."
In the team in front, someone suddenly cursed and looked depressed and unhappy, as if something unhappy had happened to them.
I just heard this man curse in a low voice: "It's all those bastards who ran out of the deep sea area to hunt for nothing. This time, it's better. Not only did the boat crash and everyone died, but our fishing boat was also attacked and almost couldn't come back."
"
"Isn't it?"
Someone in the team said angrily: "This time we originally returned home with a full load. If it hadn't been because the fishing boat ignored the warning and broke into the deep sea to fish, which resulted in a dense attack by sea crabs, we would not have caused such a huge loss."
"Yes, those sea crabs are so terrifying. They are so densely packed that there are at least millions or even tens of millions in number." Someone agreed with a pale face. Thinking of yesterday's experience at sea, it was still shocking.
The sea is very dangerous, but humans here have to rely on fishing in the sea to survive, otherwise they will starve to death.
But the creatures in the sea are more ferocious and terrifying, and the mutated marine creatures are extremely aggressive, especially species with large populations.
For example, sea crabs, which were originally only the size of a washbasin at their largest, have almost doubled in size and are numerous in number. Even some giant sea crabs are several meters long. Their two large claws are hard and powerful, even if they are made of steel.
You cut it off.
"Captain, we lost a lot of sailors this time. We will recruit some sailors later and build a ship to go to sea."
In the team, a relatively quiet young man with a pair of eyes made a suggestion to a middle-aged man next to him.
The middle-aged man is the captain. This time he went to sea and lost a ship and a lot of sailors. It's good to be able to come back alive.
He sighed and said: "The boat is easy to find. The key is that there are not many people who dare to go to sea. Everyone is huddled on the land and dare not set foot in the sea. Too many people have died."
"Is it useful to be afraid of death?" A team member said with an unhappy face: "In this world, zombies are everywhere on the land, and mutated beasts are rampant. Is there anything that is not dangerous?"
"You're right. If we don't go out to sea to fish, what will we eat? Sooner or later we will starve to death."
"Yes, if you are afraid of death, just wait to starve to death."
More than a dozen team members responded one after another. Everyone was afraid of death, but in order to survive, they had to go out to sea to risk fishing, because there are more abundant fish in the ocean, and the harvest from one outing can be enough to feed thousands of people for several days.
Life is not easy, especially in the post-apocalyptic food crisis. Human beings must try their best to find enough food, and hunting is one of them.
"Stop talking and leave quickly. While it's still early, we'll go to the market to recruit a group of sailors and set off immediately." The middle-aged captain spoke, gritting his teeth and deciding to go out again today.
Qin Tiange, who was not far behind them, listened with a thoughtful expression. Seeing that this group of people were going to the Kowloon Walled Market to recruit sailors, he began to have concerns in his heart.
Following this eleven-person team, they soon arrived at the trading market of Kowloon Walled City, where people could be seen selling fish everywhere.
They are all ocean fish, all kinds of mutated fish, very large in size, some even growing to several meters long.
"The Gale Fleet is recruiting sailors, three big ships, preferential treatment, first come, first served"
"The Pioneer Fleet is recruiting powerful sailors, and those who are strengthened will be given priority."
In the market, there were not only the sounds of hawking, but also a small area where a man was holding a sign that said Recruiting Sailors.
Yes, this is the place where sailors are recruited. The port of Kowloon District has nothing but many ships. After the end of the world, no one will care about these ships.
Now, as long as you are brave and know how to drive a boat out to sea for fishing, you will definitely gain something, but of course you will have to bear huge risks, and it is very likely that the boat will be destroyed and people will be killed.
"The Hanhai fleet is recruiting sailors. The number of places is limited. There are only ten places. Young and strong people are limited. Those with experience will be given priority. Salaries will be interviewed."
Soon, the team got into position and started shouting loudly to recruit sailors.
There are densely packed people here, and there is a lot of noise. Some people choose to be sailors, but most people don't want to go to sea, and would rather go out hunting on land than go to sea.
After watching for a while, Qin Tiange came directly to the team just now and wanted to go to sea with the team to take a look.
"I want to join, but I don't know if it's okay?" Qin Tiange arrived and asked directly.
In front of him, the middle-aged man looked surprised. He looked at Qin Tiange, then nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, we can talk about the salary and other things after the recruitment is completed."
"OK!"
Qin Tiange had no objection. He didn't care about the treatment, but wanted to go out to sea and learn about the basic situation in Kowloon Village.
If you want to understand, you must first integrate into it. It is most suitable to join one of the fishing teams.
It didn't take long for the team to recruit nine other sailors, all of whom were young and strong men. Naturally, there were no women.
"We have enough manpower. Let's find a boat first and bring our fishing tools. I remember there is a big boat somewhere in the port."
After recruiting people, the middle-aged man smiled and said something, and while talking, he led more than 20 people towards the seaside port.
Wow
As soon as they arrived at the port, they heard a commotion, which attracted the attention of Qin Tiange and others, and they all looked up.
"Look," a young man pointed forward and exclaimed.
I saw a dense crowd of people gathered in front of the port, all looking amazed, pointing, and watching the huge thing walking sideways.
Yes, that thing walks sideways.
"Crab?" Qin Tiange looked surprised, looking at the huge creature with blood red body and two huge cyan pliers, shining with metallic green light.
This is a sea crab, four meters wide, with two huge pincers and eight legs that walk sideways. Its body is covered in hard armor, full of spikes, and its body is blood red, making it look majestic and majestic.
The most astonishing thing is that there is a person standing on top of this big crab. He is young, extremely tall, has a delicate face, but has sharp eyes that cannot be underestimated.
"His name is Meng Yu. He is one of the celebrities in the gathering place. He is a two-star enhancer and extremely powerful. Especially because he was lucky enough to catch a sea crab as a mount. Someone gave him a nickname, sea crab.
Knight." The middle-aged captain said with envy.
Only then did Qin Tiange learn that the young man riding the sea crab was named Meng Yu, who was one of the celebrities in Kowloon Village and one of the rare strong men.
"I'm so envious. I also want to raise crystal cores to exchange for a riding pet contract. When the time comes, I can catch a sea crab and sign the contract to become a mount." A young man said enviously.
As soon as he said these words, someone next to him immediately struck and said: "You'd better save some money. A pet riding contract requires a thousand crystal cores. We work hard to go fishing and it will take at least a month to save up this amount."
Possessions.”
"Yeah, I don't know if I can live for more than a month, so don't think about it and just go fishing."
Many people shook their heads and smiled bitterly, feeling that they had no chance. A contract with one thousand crystal nuclei was an astronomical figure for ordinary people like them.
They just want to go fishing at sea, save enough food for themselves, sell it for crystal cores, and then go to the inheritance stone tablet to exchange for good things.
Especially body-tempering potions, these are what they want most. Only with strength can they gain more.
Listening to the discussion of these people, Qin Tiange was thinking about the gathering place while observing Meng Yu who was riding a sea crab passing by.
"Come, come, let's take a look at this big ship. Isn't it very majestic?"
Soon, the middle-aged captain took everyone to the corner of the port. Parked here was a large ship, three stories high, with a hull of 51 meters long and eight meters wide. It was definitely a large fishing boat.
"Hey, Captain, this fishing boat is bigger than the last one we had."
"Great, it will be safer for us to sail this large fishing boat out to sea."
The team members were excited. Looking at the huge fishing boat covered by canvas, they couldn't wait to climb aboard.
"Stop, this is our ship, I will kill anyone who dares to touch it!"
At this moment, a large group of people rushed next to them. They were all tall and thick-looking, with ferocious faces, and they were carrying steel knives, which were very bright and scary.
