The world is in chaos.
On the first day after the establishment of the safety zone, the government set up a special investigation team to maintain order in the zone.
Before the investigation team had landed, a vicious murder incident caused a stir. The victim was beaten to death in the street and the murderer was arrested. He claimed that he was in a trance after drinking and did not know anything about it.
Got drunk?
The investigation team had a grim look on their faces.
"Officer, can I leave?"
Han Qingtian took a sip of tea and pressed the cup down heavily.
Several policemen exchanged glances and stopped writing, "The murderer, Zhang Zhang, wants to ask you one last time, have you been instructed?"
"No, no!" The man's face turned pale, "I just drank some wine and saw that bastard bullying two children, and I got angry for a moment..."
"Be honest! You can still get leniency!"
Han Qingtian stopped his leisurely posture and sat on the interrogation chair. He was obviously a little angry, "Let me ask you, how long have you been asking? This matter has nothing to do with me."
"Please cooperate!"
"Didn't I cooperate?" Han Qingtian stood up immediately and threw the tea cup to the ground.
"Report!"
"Didn't you see the person being interrogated?"
"...A crowd gathered in Xingzi Street to fight, resulting in many casualties. You need to come to the scene."
"Let someone else handle it!"
"The police are out... We don't have enough manpower, and the number of reports is still increasing."
The police officer rubbed his cheek and closed his pen.
finally.
"Take Zhang Li to prison, Han Qingtian..." The voice was slightly unwilling, "Please understand the inconvenience caused."
"Hahaha, I understand," the old man clapped his hands, turned to the black suit outside the door and shouted loudly: "Come down and deliver a tea set to the police station. I am old and my temper is still a bit bad. Officer, don't mind."
"Tsk, tsk, bring me some more tea," the old man said, clasping his hands behind his back and walking toward the door at a snail's pace, "What a crappy tea, it makes your throat sore."
The faces of all the police officers in the room were gloomy.
"Report……"
"The prison... there is not enough space."
"If it's not enough, find a place to lock it up and build a shed to keep me cold. What do you mean it's not enough? What do you mean? It's not going to be closed, right? It's not enough. Let's let him go, ah?!"
The young policeman opened his mouth and said it was not the case, and it was not the case if he did not say it.
Of course criminals need to be locked up.
But in such a small piece of land, there is no place for ordinary people to live, so why do they specially allocate a place for criminals to live?
With Zhang Li being sentenced to death, the matter came to an end.
And this is also a small microcosm of the 30 safety zones across the country. High-level officials held an emergency meeting to introduce a new bill to deal with the current financial constraints.
The government still maintains order in the district, but before the word order, there is an extra "basic".
What is "basic order"?
It's okay to fight, but not to kill someone.
They will give you a black nose and a swollen face, and you will be fined; if the beating is serious, you will be punished with hard labor after an investigation, and you will either be sent to build roads and houses, or you will be assigned the task of the army and search for supplies outside the safe zone.
This method can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. It not only balances the problem of dense population, but also slightly solves the housing problem, and even relieves the pressure on puppets.
Most of the prisoners who go out to search for supplies fight bravely with the old and the weak in the safe area. In front of zombies, even if their legs are weak, they are brave.
This method is quite powerful, probably because when the prisoners who searched for supplies returned, not even one out of ten was left alive.
It turned into a puppet in the mouth.
---------------
Since Zhongnan City was originally an overly prosperous first-tier city, the Zhongnan Safety Zone in the suburbs also has a subway.
It's just that the subway was full of zombies at first, and it was restarted after the army recently cleared it.
This subway is also an important means of transportation for explorers. In the past few days, the army only took the subway to various stations to roughly rescue refugees. After a cursory search and rescue, they never went there again. When zombies encountered them, they used their guns to dig out puppet crystals. I never look for them deliberately when I arrive, all for the sake of rescue efficiency.
The military's current search and rescue focus is on suburbs that are not connected by various subway lines.
The remaining resources in each station city are nothing more than a piece of cake in the eyes of the safe zone. How many lucky people have made a lot of money in one search and become masters in this troubled world, even in crowded cities. Acquire a comfortable property.
"Zhongnan City, Huaxi Station, that's right here."
Ning An raised his head, confirmed that he had reached his destination, and got off the subway.
The safety zone is made up of several neighboring counties, and Huaxi belongs to the western border.
"Old man, old man," the young man came to the old man, "Excuse me, where is it?"
There were many people gathered in the distance, dressed in mixed clothes, and there were several buses parked nearby.
The old man patted the stall. Seeing that the young man had no intention of buying, he responded with a neutral tone, "There, those are the people who killed people, set fires, and went out to pick up garbage."
"Pick up trash?"
"Oh, it's just picking up garbage! I can't bring back anything good even if I go out for three or two times." The old man had a smile on his face, but he was worried that others would hear him, so he lowered his voice and said, "A group of criminals have become so foreign. His name is Laoshizi Explorer? Come on, if he hadn’t beaten someone, who would want to go to that kind of ghost place?”
Ning An smiled and thanked him, touched his chin and thought for a moment, then walked over slowly.
The past few days in the safe zone have not been without success. When I was scrolling through posts, I saw someone saying that there was a monster on fire outside.
The comments below all mocked the original poster for being crazy and scared of zombies. How could such a thing exist?
Ning'an immediately contacted him and learned that there was a sudden fire when the ancient city of Yao'an fell. Everyone, whether they were people or zombies, was burned to death. He was a cook in a large restaurant, and he was clever and ran to the icehouse in advance to escape. After the fire was extinguished, the zombies turned into ashes all over the ground.
After the army put out the fire and got into the search and rescue vehicle, he finally fainted.
But in a hazy moment, he saw a fiery red figure controlling the fireball and setting the moat of the ancient city on fire.
By the end, even he was laughing.
As mentioned in the comments below, the bones of a corpse cannot be burned to ashes when cremated. How can it be burned to ashes in the open air? As for setting the moat on fire, it is even more nonsense.
The man also felt that he was hallucinating, "Maybe he was frightened out of his wits. Just listen to the story and don't take it to heart."
Ning An responded with a smile, but why didn't he take it seriously?
After finally catching a clue, I have to go through it no matter what.
