Chapter 1528 In a collapsing world, don't be impatient
Liu Shiba lay under the off-road vehicle, wearing a set of tattered clothes supported by Fan Haizhou and wrapped in a smelly blanket. He didn't sleep well all night. He was thinking about the bone drill and the golden order in his body. He even couldn't sleep.
Forget about hunger…
Early in the morning, the off-road vehicle took five people on the road. There was enough space inside the vehicle to squeeze them in. They were all musing on their own thoughts and didn't say much. They ate a few black cakes and drank some water, so they made do with it.
breakfast.
After driving on the wasteland for more than half an hour, I saw a lot of zombies wandering around aimlessly. After driving forward for a while, I gradually saw some green vegetation on the wasteland. I think it is far away from the gathering place that Fan Haizhou mentioned.
It's getting closer.
It wasn't until the off-road vehicle said hello and passed a simple checkpoint surrounded by barbed wire that there was no trace of a zombie. Some saplings planted in patches could already be seen in the wasteland.
The further we go, the older the trees become and the green color becomes richer. After eight days here, Liu Shiba felt the vitality from the green for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel much better.
"This is not far from the gathering place."
Fan Haizhou introduced Liu Shiba with a smile.
"Um!"
Liu Shiba nodded. From the smile on Fan Haizhou's face, he could tell that this man in his forties had a deep affection for the gathering place. Maybe there was someone waiting for him at the gathering place.
The off-road vehicle drove forward for a few minutes and then turned onto a dirt road that had been simply repaired. Scattered crowds of people could already be seen from the car window, and from time to time, assembly vehicles similar to Fan Haizhou and others could be seen coming and going.
There were also a variety of vehicles, forming a convoy of different sizes, ranging from three to four to more than a dozen vehicles, whizzing past Liu Shiba and others on the dirt road from where they came, and heading into the distance.
Looking out the front window of the off-road vehicle, Liu Shiba saw various old and new tents set up in the open air in a large area.
The people coming and going around the tent were as lively as if they were going to a market. The only thing that felt incongruous was that the clothes of these people were as tattered as the clothes Liu Shiba was wearing now.
Fan Haizhou and his party's off-road vehicle did not stop at the tent area, but went straight over, turned a corner and then onto a real road. This is an old cement road with some years, and all the potholes on the road have been carefully repaired.
Pass.
"These tents are the gathering places you mentioned?"
After watching for a while, Liu Shiba turned to Fan Haizhou and asked.
"hehe!"
Fan Haizhou smiled and shook his head and said:
"You are too underestimated for a gathering place that has grown to its current size fifty years after the disaster. These tents are just the outer area of the gathering place, commonly known as slums. If you walk a little further you can see the gathering place."
The off-road vehicle drove slowly along the road, and there were more and more tents on both sides. Various men, women, and children set up stalls on both sides of the road and shouted and hawked along the street.
The clothes of these people are very old, and the items they sell are common shabby bits and pieces. Among the people hawking, the majority are young, old and women, and there are very few middle-aged men.
Fan Haizhou saw Liu Shiba looking intently at the crowd outside the window, so he opened the car window, pointed outside and introduced to him:
"The people who set up stalls here are all old, young, women and children. In the last days, those who don't have the strength to kill zombies and obtain bone drills will not be able to exchange for food to support themselves.
So they have the least dignity and can only rely on setting up street stalls to earn a little money by bartering, or rely on capable people to survive hard."
"I can see that it's not easy for these people to live, but in comparison, how much better am I than them now?"
Liu Shiba nodded, indicating that he understood what Fan Haizhou meant.
People setting up stalls on the roadside looked at the various cars passing by with pitiful yet hopeful eyes. No matter how old a car was, it would have been a luxury car in the past.
Although it has been fifty years since the outbreak of nuclear war and zombie viruses, it is easy to piece together a car, but it is not easy to drive the car.
There are two types of vehicles, one is a fuel vehicle and the other is a battery vehicle.
The abnormal shortage of fuel restricts the use of fuel vehicles. Secondly, the rechargeable batteries in stock are also used less, and there are even batteries but no battery or some batteries but no batteries.
Therefore, in the eyes of the incompetent people, all those who can drive a car now belong to the boss level.
If you meet someone with a good heart like Fan Haizhou, then it is very possible to get some food.
Looking at the shabby outer gathering place and the groups of skinny and skinny people, Liu Shiba felt that his conscience was suffering greatly, because whether it was a nuclear war or the outbreak of the zombie virus, it seemed that they all had something to do with him.
relationship.
Fan Haizhou saw Liu Shiba's slightly self-blaming expression and couldn't help but laugh:
"I can't tell you that you still have a good heart, so you don't want me to save you in vain."
"I just sympathize with the living. It may be more painful to live than to die."
Fan Haizhou shook his head and said:
"My kindness is also limited. Not everyone can get my help. Some people here may look pitiful and honest, but in fact they are poisonous snakes that eat people. They are worse than some people who look bad.
Damn, even more sinister.
In fact, human life is not valuable in this chaotic apocalypse. People are dying every day when they go out to hunt zombies in gathering areas. This is just a microcosm of human beings' fight for survival.
If you feel that everyone is pitiful, then you have no one to blame until you kill yourself. Remember that there is no right or wrong in this world, and there is no mercy. Even if you have morality, it is limited.
As for the law, how can we even talk about law if there is no country? There is only one rule in this collapsed world, which is to speak with strength. If you have strength, you can do anything and protect anyone you want to protect. You have the final say in everything.
I hope my words can make you realize the reality and don’t kill yourself before recalling some things about yourself..."
Speaking of this, Fan Haizhou did not say any more, but let Liu Shiba think for himself...
"I understand what you mean. To be able to say this to me by chance shows that Brother Fan is a kind person."
After a long time, Liu Shiba sighed and smiled slightly.
Liu Shiba's confused eyes finally showed a trace of luster and a trace of determination!
In fact, for Liu Shiba, he has too many possibilities. He originally didn't know how to do it, but now it seems that as long as he gets a huge number of bone drills, he can absorb and restore powerful strength.
From Fan Haizhou's description, Liu Shiba knew that given the current situation, if he wanted to go to Mount Tai, it would be almost impossible to achieve it by his own ability.
There are no cities along the way. They are all virgin forests covered by huge vegetation, not to mention how many huge and terrifying zombies and animals that have mutated after being infected by the virus.
Then the first thing you have to do is to survive in this future world, and after regaining your strength, slowly figure it out!
