Ling Han, an ordinary person with an ordinary background and appearance. He also studied an ordinary finance major in college. After graduation, he became a white-collar worker. If there is anything extraordinary about him, it is that he is very lucky and has a good-looking friend. A native of Shenzhen City, after dating for two years, he married the other party and gave birth to a lovely daughter.
It can be said that if nothing unexpected happens, Ling Han will have another son with his wife, raise the two children to adulthood, watch the two children get married and start a business, they will help the son raise grandchildren, and finally die and be cremated in the crematorium. This is their life, and the life of most ordinary people.
But no one had ever thought that the end of the world would come so unexpectedly. Ling Han's family was relatively well off. His wife, daughter, and father-in-law were fine. It was just that he contacted his parents in his hometown as soon as the end of the world broke out, but failed. Something must have happened to his parents.
There was no time to feel sad. Ling Han led his family and rushed out of his home. This was mainly because he didn't have much food stored at home. If he didn't go to the official base early, the whole family might starve to death in the future.
It's a pity that Ling Han's family encountered a crowd of mutants on the road. They had no choice but to rush into the cold storage of a food company and hide. Fortunately, they hid in the cold storage, otherwise they would definitely be eaten by the crowd of mutants. dropped.
The cold storage of this food company is divided into two rooms. The larger outer room stores a large amount of ready-to-eat food, and the inner room stores a large amount of canned food.
It is precisely because of the food in the cold storage that Ling Han and his family live a much better life than ordinary survivors in the apocalypse. The outer door is a thick iron door, and the inner room also has a door, so Ling Han and his family hide inside. There is no danger.
However, Ling Han's family naturally knew that they could not hide inside for the rest of their lives. Before the extreme cold weather arrived, Ling Han climbed out from the ventilation channel instead of going out through the door. This was because there were a large number of mutants in the area. The door is blocked.
Warm-proof clothing, cold-proof materials, etc. were collected bit by bit from outside. In this way, relying on the food in the freezer, Ling Han's family spent the most chaotic days in the early days of the end.
In order to ensure that Ling Han would not lose contact with the outside world, he would often venture out into the underground world, especially the trading market at the official base, to exchange for some supplies, or to inquire about the latest news.
Ling Han had naturally heard the rumors of the Hope Base, but he had the same idea as most people, that is, the Hope Base, which is like a paradise, should be a lie. There is no such a good private base. After all, they have the conditions of the official base. It’s not that I don’t know that many survivors would rather form their own small teams to survive than enter the official base.
Not only because the official base attracts attacks from mutant beasts every day due to the large number of people, but also because the living and food conditions in the official base are really not very good. Many private teams feel that they are more comfortable living outside, so they do not Join the official base.
Just like a family like Ling Han, they are lucky enough to occupy a cold storage. The food in it can feed their family for three years based on the quantity. If they save a little, it can last for five years.
It's just that Ling Han and the other adults believe that they can't stay in the cold storage for several years. Their daughter is only five years old. Her daughter needs partners and education, so that it can be beneficial to her daughter's growth.
Originally, if the official base opened a school, even if part of the food in the cold storage was donated to the official base, Ling Han and his daughter would join the official base. However, the official base did not open a school for the children to receive education. This may be the case every day. We have to deal with the endless attacks of mutant beasts, and we don't have the energy to organize teachers to educate the children.
This day was like every other day. Ling Han carefully avoided the mutated monsters he encountered along the way. Speaking of which, sewers and subway passages were often cleaned by people, so they were much safer than those on the ground.
The company cafeteria of the frozen warehouse where Ling Han's family took refuge had a sewer pipe leading directly to the sewer. Ling Han always left the frozen warehouse through the vent to reach the cafeteria, and then drilled through the sewer pipe of the cafeteria and went down to the underground world.
Because he was wearing an infrared night vision device on his head, Ling Han could see things, but he was not used to it at first. After wearing it for a long time, he got used to it.
On the road, he solved several mutated cockroaches. Each mutated cockroach was as big as a pre-apocalyptic cat. However, Ling Han solved them relatively easily and dug out the crystal cores from their bodies. They were only as big as soybeans and were similar to those of mutant mice. The cores are almost the same. For ordinary people, mutant mice and mutant cockroaches are their main sources of crystal nuclei, and they can also use these crystal nuclei to become stronger and even exchange for some materials.
It can be said that it is precisely because of these relatively weak mutant beasts that ordinary people can survive. Ling Han devoured a lot of these crystal nuclei, but what disappointed him was that he did not become much stronger. His qualifications should be very high. Ordinary, some ordinary people have better qualifications, and swallowing the same number of crystal nuclei will improve their physical fitness much better than the average person.
That's right, qualifications are official news. Every ordinary person gets a different degree of enhancement from swallowing crystal nuclei. The better the qualifications, the better the enhancement effect, and the maximum number of swallows per day is higher than that of ordinary people. Some.
As for evolvers, they are on another level. No matter how good the qualifications of ordinary people are, they are far inferior to those of evolvers. Moreover, some evolvers have awakened special abilities, such as the ability to control fire, earth, metal, etc. These evolvers are officially called Awakeners, and those who have not evolved special abilities are called Enhancers.
I also met some survivors on the way to the official trading market, but everyone avoided them silently. In the apocalyptic world, the most lacking thing among survivors is trust. No one knows whether the other party will trust him because of a piece of bread or a person. Jinghe stabbed the opponent with a knife. Except for his own relatives who could be trusted, it was basically difficult for other strangers to have a sense of trust.
It was not like Ling Han had never encountered someone who smiled in front of his face but stabbed him in the back. He himself was injured because of this. However, after killing the other person, he completely adapted to the survival rules of the apocalyptic world, that is, if someone doesn't attack me, I won't do it. Prisoner, if people want to rebel against me, then they will fight tooth and nail.
When he came to the official trading market, the number of vendors inside was not much reduced. It was still the same as before. Ling Han exchanged the crystal core for some useful things for himself and his family, and finally exchanged a relatively large crystal core for a box of anti-inflammatory drugs. medicine.
Medicines are the most popular items in the entire trading market. The official exchange center releases only a few boxes every day. It can be said that there is more than enough.
"Did you hear that?"
"What's up?"
"There are rumors that the Hope Base has also built a trading center. It seems that a lot of things can be exchanged there, and the Hope Base will also recruit qualified survivors to join them."
"Oh, I hope the base is really as good as the rumors say?"
"Really, one of my classmates joined. I heard that the conditions inside are a hundred times better than the official base. Life there is not much different from before the end of the world, or even better."
"Is this a lie?"
"No, my classmate won't lie to me. I'll go there and have a look later."
"Okay, I want to go too. It'll be safer if we go together."
"Let's go."
When Ling Han heard the conversation between the two, his heart moved. If the Hope Base was really as good as they said, then it would be the best choice for his family to join the Hope Base.
Do you want to go and have a look? Ling Han thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and went to take a look. If Hope Base was really that good, he would bring his family to join it no matter what.
