Sitting down on the chair behind the desk, Li Meng looked at Zhang Guowei, who was standing in front of the desk, and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
With a slightly serious look on his face, Zhang Guowei said: "That's right, it's news from Daguan Shelter. You adults should know that a team from Daguan Shelter came to the shelter yesterday. I learned some news from one of them.
, just a few days ago, new humans appeared at the Grand View Sanctuary, and some transactions were ongoing with the Grand View Sanctuary."
Li Meng had already informed the senior management of Qing'an Shelter about the New Human Beings. Li Meng knew about some things about the New Human Beings, and the senior management of the shelter knew about them, and Zhang Guowei, who was the Chief of Staff, was naturally among them.
New humanity?
Li Meng's eyes lit up, he became energetic and asked, "Have you got any useful information?"
Lowering his head slightly, Zhang Guowei said: "My lord, haven't you always been curious about new humans? Compared with Yingjiang Sanctuary, Daguan Sanctuary knows more about new humans and has more contact with them. After some inquiring, I finally know
Learned something about the new humanity.”
Speaking of this, facing Li Meng's expectant gaze, Zhang Guowei paused slightly and continued: "Your guess is correct. The "government" in the civilized era has not disappeared. It still exists, but their right to rule is no longer in the country.
On the ground, but in mobile cities, there are various types of mobile cities swimming in the offshore waters of China. They rely on smaller mobile fortresses to go deep into the inland to obtain various resources. However, although the government still exists, in China
There are other forces in the near sea, such as some corporate states and family states. Although the roots of these forces are in the land of China, the mobile cities they own are not under the jurisdiction of the "government" and have nothing to do with the "government".
The relationship is not hostile, but something like a "vassal"."
The corporate state and the family state?
Hearing this, Li Meng's face looked thoughtful.
After the nuclear war, the earth's environment became so bad that the countries before the nuclear war would more or less undergo some changes.
Some have disappeared, some still exist, and the emergence of new forces is inevitable.
At this time, Zhang Guowei said again: "There are many forces and threats on the land. In addition to the corporate state and the family state, there are four types of people in the land of China. One type is the underground people, which refers to those of us who live there.
In underground shelters, the second category is homeless people. The lifestyle of homeless people is not much different from that of new humans. It’s just that due to technical reasons, the mobile towns they live in are not big and smaller, and they can move in smaller places.
Traveling around the place, all available resources are available. The third category is mountain city dwellers. There are very few of these people. They build their homes in the mountains, which are relatively closed, but they have certain technology. It is said that the mobile towns used by homeless people are mountain cities.
built by the people, and the fourth type of people..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Guowei had a solemn expression on his face and said in a deep voice: "The fourth type of people is very dangerous. The New Humans call them "cannibals". They come from the south and have some connections with the New Humans. They are human beings.
They are also wild beasts. They have lost their humanity and thoughts, and only act based on instinct. For them, everything alive is food, and both humans and strange beasts are in their diet."
Cannibals?
Frowning slightly, Li Meng could only see disbelief in his eyes. Are there really cannibals?
Since Zhang Guowei has found out this information, he should not doubt it. Even if it is false, he should keep it in mind.
Zhang Guowei's words made Li Meng understand the world better.
There are underground people, cannibals, mountain people, homeless people, and new humans. Li Meng never expected that in this icy and snowy apocalypse, the human world would still be so wonderful.
Looking at the adult who was deep in thought behind the desk, Zhang Guowei smiled bitterly and said: "When I learned the news from him, I was a little unbelievable. I originally thought that the people in the Qing'an shelter were among the few in the human race.
Survivor, now it seems that my previous understanding was undoubtedly that Yelang was arrogant. The world is very big, and the human world is still prosperous, but the future is no longer with us earthly people, and the new humanity is the future of mankind."
In response to Zhang Guowei's words, Li Meng raised his head slightly, looked at Zhang Guowei, and said calmly: "Don't belittle yourself, as long as you live, whether the new humanity is the future of mankind, or whether we, the earthly people, are the future of mankind, we still don't know. The future
After all, we still have to fight.”
Fight?
Compete with new people?
Looking at the adults behind the desk, Zhang Guowei was quite speechless. Qing'an Sanctuary and New Humanity were two different worlds. He didn't know where the adults got the confidence to dare to compete with New Humanity.
Although he was muttering in his heart, Zhang Guowei would not show it on his face, let alone say it out loud.
Lowering his head slightly, Zhang Guowei said: "The new humans who deal with the underground shelter generally belong to a certain corporate state or family state. The government will not do such a thing. Sir, the existence of Qing'an Shelter should also be informed by the new humans.
Maybe one day they will contact us, should we make some preparations?"
With a thoughtful expression on his face, Li Meng pondered: "Sun Gaowu said that in the transaction with New Humanity, the goods are all patients suffering from radiation sickness. Zhang Guowei, what do you think New Humanity wants to do with radiation patients?"
"this……"
With a hesitant look on his face, Zhang Guowei shook his head and said uncertainly: "It is said that the new humans have a very strong physique and a strong immunity to nuclear radiation. Those at Yingjiang Shelter have always had a guess.
Maybe radiation sickness is a shortcut to becoming a new human being, but this speculation has no basis..."
A shortcut to becoming a new human being?
Yes, it is possible, but how likely is it?
Rather than saying that there is a shortcut to becoming a new human being, Li Meng is more willing to believe that those patients who suffered from radiation sickness are just guinea pigs for the new human being. The advancement of science and technology comes at a cost, and the progress of genetic technology is based on the bodies of the same kind.
.
It’s true that the more I know, the more I worry. If I hadn’t learned so many things from Zhang Guowei’s mouth, I don’t know how low my horizons would have been, and I would still be surrounding strange beasts.
Although new humans, mountain city dwellers, underground dwellers, and wanderers are all surrounding alien beasts, otherwise the new humans would not live in mobile cities, but once they know some things, they will not worry about them.
Doing nothing, at least you will have more confidence and preparation for possible enemies.
"call……"
Thinking of this, Li Meng took a deep breath and said, "We'll wait until they arrive. There's no need to think about the new humans right now. Go ahead. I'll inform Ma Yuzhen about Sun Gaowu."
Zhang Guowei nodded without saying anything. He turned to look at his wife who was sitting behind the desk not far away. Zhang Guowei turned around and left.
It wasn't until Zhang Guowei's figure disappeared behind the door that Qian Yuting slightly raised her head and glanced at the closed door.
The expression on her face suddenly changed, and Qian Yuting felt a little incredible about what her husband had just said.
Is there really such a group of people living in a clean and warm mobile city?
When she thought of such a place, a glimmer of light flashed in Qian Yuting's eyes, and a look of yearning flashed across her face...
