Yue Dongting made a gesture to Zhang Tianzhao to open the door, and he silently went out from the corridor to follow Jiang Qingyue.
The three girls opposite were very patient and waited for another half an hour before going to the garage. A few minutes later, they rolled out in a trembling ball and supported each other towards the north of the city.
The reactions of these three little girls were normal human reactions. This reaction showed that they did not know about cannibalism and could not accept it. Everyone watched the three stumbling girls leave without anyone stopping them.
Hong Xingluan and Hai Fengqiu came up immediately after going down to the underground garage, both of them looking unhappy.
"We leave this neighborhood as soon as possible. The radiation inside is very strong," Haifengqiu said.
The gray sky was low and depressing, and the frost-covered road was hard and cold. The cold air you breathe into your lungs and exhale always takes away moisture and heat.
They walked ten kilometers and approached Xinjiang City. The walls of Xinjiang City are very high, blocking the view and the buildings behind the walls cannot be seen. The plain outside the high wall is dotted with many solid stone houses built of boulders and cement. Each stone house is the entrance to a small underground settlement.
Not long after the cold wave passed, many people came out of the underground. Sharp brother dressing is the mainstream. People wear tattered clothes of various colors with broken buttons or zippers. They are wrapped in a coat or animal skin and tied with anything. Most people who are still alive after two years of the apocalypse will look at people more sharply than their clothes.
A group of newcomers like Hai Fengqiu and the others, who appear to be low-level and well-dressed, are definitely the rich second generation among the sharp brothers, and the big fat sheep in the eyes of the experts. Unfortunately, there are too many fat sheep, and a small group with a few to a dozen members cannot handle them. A large group of dozens or hundreds of people who can definitely handle them has no interest in this kind of fat sheep. Private fighting is strictly prohibited in Xinjiang City. After all the effort to deal with this new group, it is better to go hunting - mutated animals not only provide skins. You can wear it and eat meat.
So Hai Fengqiu entered an underground settlement under the watchful eyes of several small gangs, found the administrator of Xinjiang City in the settlement, and exchanged a few pieces of animal skins for the right to use a large warehouse for a month. After having a fixed place to live, Hai Fengqiu and Hong Xingluan immediately took a team out to "hunt". The remaining people blocked the door tightly and took the time to rest and eat.
The new fat sheep have some good things in their hands. They eat meat soup and barbecue. You can have this because everyone eats meat. However, you add some cumin and chili powder to the barbecue! How rare is this thing now? The aroma of barbecue wafting out from behind the animal skin door was so overwhelming that even the administrator, Lao Huang, couldn't calm down.
There is someone above the administrator, Lao Huang, but he only has one level of superpower. He can light a cigarette with a small fireball. He is barely an administrator. He mainly relies on his intelligence to gain benefits. He swallowed his saliva and came to the house with a handwritten copy of the code of conduct for settlements outside Xinjiang City.
Yue Dongting invited Lao Huang to sit down by the fire, and in a condescending yet approachable manner, he dug into Lao Huang's background, made it clear about the situation in Xinjiang City and Wang Chengpeng's current situation, and sent Lao Huang away with the manuscript.
Lao Huang couldn't remember the last time he enjoyed this kind of treatment. When he went out, he still had endless aftertaste: This is the authentic second-generation X. Even though he is down and out, he still has his airs.
Seven or eight hours later, Hai Fengqiu and Hong Xingluan came back one after another, together with Yue Dongting, who had followed Jiang Qingyue back from Linhu County. They all gathered together to communicate, and they were very happy to find that Wang Chengpeng was having a very unsatisfactory life in Xinjiang City.
Wang Chengpeng is not the only one who has the ambition to create a new world in Xinjiang City. In addition to his younger brother, he also has relatives and friends. It is easier to unite all the forces that can be united and help each other when necessary. Wang Chengpeng is alone.
District 1 openly mined supplies based on the material distribution map made by a patriotic businessman. Several big forces and wealthy businessmen in Shanghai suffered huge losses. However, District 1 even gave up one of the only two space superpowers to Wang Chengpeng. Based on the inference that whoever benefits the most is the mastermind, they all suspect that Wang Chengpeng and District 1 teamed up to deceive them, and are very wary of Wang Chengpeng. Several Shanghai forces who came to Xinjiang City closely united and simply squeezed out the Wang clan from the forces in the original fifth district.
Eight months ago, Xinjiang City returned to the ground and was in contact with Lucheng, the capital city. However, it could not be contacted with District 1 of Shanghai. The leadership had explicitly hinted to Wang Chengpeng several times, but failed to do so. They felt that Wang Chengpeng's position was ambiguous and his attitude was ambiguous. Don't reuse him.
Wang Chengpeng led his men to occupy a county town in the lake area a hundred kilometers away half a year ago. It was like opening up territory for Xinjiang City, but also like separatist rule.
When Lao Huang mentioned Wang Chengpeng, he only said one thing over and over again: "All the good cabbage has been lost to pigs. At least half of our beauties in Xinjiang City are in Linhu County!"
"Aren't the rivers, lakes and seas frozen solid? What can they do in the lake area?" Lin Yunlai asked.
"It's easy to smash the ice to pick up fish." Haifengqiu smiled, "Hunting is much more difficult. Half of what we brought back was the harvest of eating black. By the way, Angelica, we found a flower and tree market. There are several large warehouses with flowerpots of various models. Do you want to go and take a look?"
"Okay." Bai Zhi nodded, "We'll go after this cold wave passes."
Hai Fengqiu and the others must want to do something to Wang Chengpeng. Bai Zhi was used to Haifengqiu bypassing her on matters related to Wang Chengpeng. He didn't want her to know that she wasn't willing to let him interfere. Everyone does his or her own thing.
"We have nothing urgent to do now. We are just here for a few days to repair and inquire about the development of Xinjiang City." Haifengqiu said: "How about you go back to District 1 first? Send the flower pots and other things back as soon as possible, and District 1 can resume production as soon as possible. .”
"Then I'll go back as soon as I get the flower pot." Bai Zhi was very straightforward.
Hai Fengqiu, who was about to convince her, was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded with a smile and said, "Okay. Ask Hao Lang to accompany you to move the flower pots first."
"I'll go back by the way." Lin Yunlai raised his hand, "The life in Xinjiang City has been like this, and I'm afraid District 1 won't have a hard time. We still have a few warehouses, and maybe we can dig out something useful. Something, I’ll go back and look for it.”
Hong Xingran sent Bai Zhi and Lin Yunlai to Shanghai and went back immediately. Lin Yunlai sent Bai Zhi to the contact point near the East China Sea, and quietly returned to Shanghai alone to dig up the supplies Lin's father had buried.
Xiao Qi quietly brought Bai Zhi into the East China Sea, walked around in the cave, and turned into a big stone door. The oversized circular passage, the ceiling lights that light up automatically on top, and the fresh air are all symbols of civilization. Bai Zhi couldn't help but stop.
"We have found a way to use alternative energy. The life support system is working well." Xiao Qi was very proud.
"The one you found in City A?" Bai Zhi observed the passage carefully while feeling the long-lost light. There are not many patterns and carvings on the stone walls on both sides, and the patterns are very simple. The stone gates on the walls are similar to the ten-man base in City A.
"Yes, that's it. During the nuclear explosion, tens of thousands of people lived here without any pressure. Now most of the rooms have drip irrigation and drainage, and even the soil is paved, just waiting for your seeds."
"You will be shocked when you see the seeds." Bai Zhi smiled proudly, "The harvest is amazing. How many people are working here now?"
"There was originally a patrol and conservation team of several hundred people, but I had already transferred them all out before I picked you up. You have space, and plants can still survive in space. We can't let too many people know about this. We quietly put the plants and Take out the seeds, seal this place for a year or two, and then call it a new scientific research result." Xiao Qi smiled, "Hurry up and take out all the good things you have hidden, I can't wait any longer."
The first thing Bai Zhi took out were mature samples: a cotton tree five or six meters high, a pumpkin as big as a millstone, a potato the size of a football, a pepper tree more than one meter high with green and red peppers hanging like small lanterns, all of which were mutated in size. Large vegetables, fruits and cash crops, as well as various fruit trees that bloom and bear fruit at the same time.
"These - all grow in the low-light environment of glowing moss?" Xiao Qi was stunned, "This is unscientific, unscientific, unscientific!"
After a while, the lines on the Xiaoqi repeater were changed to: "I'm going to go on a field trip to that cave. Fifth sister, don't stop me. I'm going, I'm going."
Wait until Angelica dahurica moves out the patches of bamboo, pine, and oak trees that the meteorite has specially cared for. The Xiaoqi repeater jammed due to frequent use. He hugged a bamboo tree that was thicker than his fifth sister's waist tightly, "Fifth sister, I want to enter your space."
"No one can get in except myself now." Bai Zhi smiled, "Zhang Tianzhao and Hai Fengqiu can't get in."
"Zhang Tianzhao and Hai Fengqiu actually went in! Those two bastards must have saved the Milky Way in their previous lives!" Xiao Qi was extremely jealous, "What's it like inside? What's there?"
Bai Zhi tilted her head and thought about where to start describing her territory.
"Fifth sister, don't say anything." Xiaoqi made a stop gesture, "I can't get in, don't covet me."
"So rational, Xiao Qi doesn't look like Xiao Qi anymore." Bai Zhi stood on tiptoes and touched the top of her brother's head.
Xiaoqi bent down and pretended to be a child with a good temper, "Fifth sister, so many plants are grown so well, it makes you tired."
Bai Zhi smoothed Xiao Qi's messed up hair, "No way, working every day is very interesting. How has your family been doing in the past two years?"
"It's all good. My eldest aunt and my mother are now very close to Aunt Yue. They call each other "three lacks one" every day when they get together. My dad has also gained weight." Xiaoqi put his hands on her sister's shoulders, touching her thin body Looking at her shoulders, she couldn't help but say: "Fifth sister is so thin."
"That's a lot to eat. If you exercise too much, you won't gain weight." Bai Zhi gave him the wrist bag containing the seeds. "These are the seeds that have been sorted and packed in boxes. The lids of the boxes are labeled. Also I found the library of an agricultural and animal husbandry college."
Xiao Qi was very excited after looking at the books in a wrist bag. She put a bunch of wrist bags given to him by Bai Zhi into her jacket pocket and said, "Fifth sister, you are so cute. These materials in alpine areas can be of great reference to us." Meaning. Look, this..."
Gu Tianbai, who had been leaning against the door and watching them for a long time, said, "Hai Hualu came to see me just now. She said she had been waiting for Bai Zhi for three hours."
"Is it that long?" Xiao Qi reluctantly said, "I will let people in here later, and I will definitely have to work overtime and have no time to go home. Let Fifth Sister stay a little longer."
"I've been waiting for three hours!" Gu Tianbai took a deep breath, "The air is so fresh. Fifth sister, let's go to the Biological Research Institute above and give her the share for Sea Coral, and I'll take you home."
The place in Haihualu was also cleared, and she was the only one in the warehouse. Bai Zhi took out the animal fur materials she had accumulated over the past two years, as well as the mutated animal carcasses that Hai Fengqiu had stored in her space wallet, dozens of updated leather suits, and fifty wrist bags. As well as part of her collection of books in the medical school library, she kept the useful parts.
Hai Coral's excitement was no less than that of Xiao Qi, but there was less nonsense than Xiao Qi. She made sure that Bai Zhi had taken out all the books, took Bai Zhi's hand and squeezed it tightly. She didn't even lock the door of the warehouse, and went directly to the conference room to dispatch troops.
Gu Tianbai stretched out his arm towards Bai Zhi, "Go home."
"Third brother...come with me to find a place where no one is around first?" Bai Zhi took two steps back.
"Let's go to Farm No. 3. It's just harvest time there and there's no one there." Gu Tianbai didn't ask why and took Bai Zhi into a farm.
A flat box-shaped cave with a height of only two and a half meters. He popped up a small fireball for illumination and asked, "Are you still leaving?"
"Yes." Bai Zhi nodded: "The atmosphere in District 1 is so good and comfortable."
"Are you going to find the real Kunlun Ruins?" Gu Tianbai raised his eyebrows, "There are many things in this world that cannot be judged simply as right or wrong, and it is not necessary to find the answer. We are alive, we can have a happy future, just enough."
"I have no control over my space territory. I don't know what I was like before, and I don't know what I will become in the future. I don't know what I am, and I will always be afraid." Bai Zhi raised her face with tears in her eyes Hazy, "Third brother, have you ever been afraid?"
"I was scared when Xiao Qi collapsed to death. I was also scared when grandpa exchanged your future with Shen Tang." Gu Tianbai held his sister in his arms and patted her back gently, "At that time, I didn't Resistance ability, very scared, afraid that Shen Tang will slice you up, afraid that Xiao Qi will not survive, thinking that there will be no way out for the three of us brothers and sisters. But you see, all species on the earth are almost extinct, and you are still alive Yes, and living well. There is no point in being afraid, just look ahead."
"Third brother used to bear all the pressure alone. Third brother...let me bear it with you now." Bai Zhi wiped away her tears, "I am not a child anymore, I am very useful now."
"You are a hot potato now." Gu Tianbai turned Angelica dahurica to face the small black field, "Tomorrow we will sow soybeans, and after harvesting the soybeans, we will plant other crops. We already have sixty such farms. There will be more, as long as there is enough energy. Our next goal is to use mutant plants to artificially cultivate energy crystal nuclei."
"When mutated plants mutate to a certain extent, it's hard to say that they won't mutate into animals." Bai Zhi frowned. She didn't realize that the third brother had drawn her attention away.
"The price paid for hunting the crystal nuclei of advanced mutated animals is too high." Gu Tianbai put his arm around Bai Zhi's shoulders, "Go to my office and I will show you our work plan. You will definitely be interested. As long as the energy supply can keep up. , the supporting new industrial system can be developed within ten years. By then we can build a city with an isolation cover on the ground!"
"Life in Kunlun Ruins doesn't seem to be very good. The same goes for Xinjiang City." Bai Zhi tilted her head to look at Tianbai, "Our prospects are so good, will we be robbed?"
"Then we have to see if they live long enough." Gu Tianbai smiled proudly, "Our two-month survival rate for newborns is 100%. We don't need to be much stronger than them, we just need to have more children than anyone else. "
"As a woman, I feel uncomfortable hearing you mention this." Bai Zhi frowned.
"Having children is a woman's contribution, and raising a wife and children is a man's responsibility." Gu Tianbai pressed his sister's shoulders, "I don't want to have a child, and I won't be happy to be forced to have a child. But being with the person you like, raising a child With two kids, life will be better.”
Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Has Third Brother found someone he likes?"
"It's a bit difficult, there are too few women." Gu Tianbai pushed Bai Zhi forward, "It depends on fate. Let's go, he came back a few days ago, let's go find him."
"He just came back? From where? Xinjiang City?" Bai Zhi asked in surprise.
"Yes. He hasn't taken out the space wallet yet. He heard about the nuclear explosion and came back to inform us. He went back to the research institute in Xinjiang City and lurked for more than a year." Gu Tianbai shook his head as he said, "Xinjiang City He has always wanted to contact us, and recently sent a search team to look for us. He was worried that we would be found this time, so he simply came back."
"I walked here from Shanghai, and I didn't meet anyone along the way."
"We opened a small base on the seaside and called it Donghai." Gu Tianbai smiled, "Sha Liu led a group of people to station there, and there are thousands of new residents and prisoners there. Our place has been renamed Dragon Palace. "
The third brother's bad taste is more insane than other systems. After Bai Zhi was speechless, she was glad that her system was not a fan of Journey to the West, so she attacked the peach trees in her gang's territory. If the system hung up a sign for the Queen Mother of the West for her, she would be tricked to death.
Liu Yuenian's long hair was tied into a ponytail. He was much darker and thinner than the previous two years. He wore glasses and looked like a serious researcher. He was stunned for a moment when he saw the sharp sister-like Bai Zhi, and then said with a smile: "There is a bathroom in the bedroom that you can borrow, and there is a hot shower."
"I'm going to take a shower." Bai Zhi walked away frustrated. There was still a difference between a cousin and an older brother. Neither Third Brother nor Xiao Qi dislike her being dirty.
When the water was running in the bathroom, Yuenian asked in a low voice: "Does she know about our plan?"
Gu Tianbai shook his head, "She came back to deliver supplies, and she still wants to leave. We have only the last step in our plan. It's best to keep her. I'm afraid she will go find Wang Chengpeng."
"In case of failure, there is no better hostage for Wang Chengpeng than Bai Zhi." Liu Yuenian smiled bitterly, "Let her be clear with her and let her stay safe at home. Anyway, Wang Chengpeng has been isolated by you for a long time, and he has no allies. , we have to rely on our subordinates to maintain our strength. At most, we can maintain our current scale. If the plan fails, we will not lose anything. At most, it will take a little time to reorganize the layout."
"The image of a good brother will completely collapse." Gu Tianbai shook his head, "Are you willing for her to look at you like 'little cousin, you are so shameless' in the future?"
"I think it's a compliment." Liu Yuenian raised his eyebrows proudly, "Bad men are so charming. You are such a gentleman, but you haven't even had sex for so many years. Is it a loss?"
"Integrity!" Gu Tianbai threw the book on the table at his cousin.
Liu Yuenian quickly accepted the book, "Do you want to tell me?"
"Don't tell me!" Gu Tianbai gritted his teeth, "Forget it, let's just tell her."
***
The dry towel Bai Zhi used to wipe her hair slid onto her knees, "Jiang Qingyue wants to kill Wang Chengpeng, and you are helping her? Why should she trust you? In other words, what benefits have you promised her?"
"I am in charge of a small research institute in Xinjiang City, studying and manufacturing space equipment." Liu Yuenian threw out his space wallet and whistled, "It is almost successful. In the past two months, I have often met various girls. Jiang Qingyue is The most proactive one.”
"Aren't you afraid that this is Wang Chengpeng's beauty trap?" Bai Zhi burst into laughter, "She is also a cannibal. Do you think she will side with those who don't eat people?"
"This woman is ambitious, seizes opportunities, and is very proactive. Do you think a woman like her would be happy to be chased around like a dog by Wang Chengpeng?" Liu Yuenian sneered, "To us, she is a dog that can attack at any time. A dog that bites its owner. That's enough."
"So you are creating conditions for her to grow up quickly and have the ability to bite people?" Bai Zhi sighed heavily: "When I passed by Laojiang City, I met her chasing Xiao Gu who was suffering from radiation sickness. There were four or five people in total, plus She fucked one of her own companions and she ate them all. Was it a trap set by you?"
"It's us." Gu Tianbai nodded, "We got a batch of high-quality gems. They are very beautiful after processing, but they contain lead-wrapped uranium-235. After wearing them for a period of time, the lead shell will be damaged, and the wearer will be exposed to radiation. sick."
"People who move frequently on the ground have had their bodies changed to some extent by radiation. Some people will have a more serious reaction, and some will have a milder reaction. Gemstones naturally contain trace amounts of radiation, so it is difficult to find that we have tampered with them. "Liu Yuenian said with a smile: "We also added some materials to the gem. Wearing it new for a day or two can improve the power. The person who accidentally discovered this gem has a high status in Wang Chengpeng's team."
"What if the radiation happens to be within the range that Wang Chengpeng can bear, and it stimulates his potential and makes him evolve?" Bai Zhi shook her head again and again, "It's unreliable."
"I found out Wang Chengpeng's secret. After all, the superpowers improved by cannibalism are not his own. If he stops eating people, his superpowers will be lost. He needs to keep eating people." Liu Yuenian said: "As far as I know, His strength has been declining in the past few months. Jiang Qingyue came up with a plan. Last month he planned a big hunt and half of his men died. Maybe Jiang Qingyue has found an opportunity to take action. "
"Hai Fengqiu...has been planning to kill Wang Chengpeng." Bai Zhi frowned.
"Are they going to deliver lunch boxes at this time?" Gu Tianbai stood up, "Are you planning to leave just to be with them?"
"Not a few, but more than thirty. He has a group of companions." Bai Zhi smiled, "Practice joint attack coordination and so on. They are so mysterious that they don't tell me anything. It seems that I can't understand what they do unless they say it. Similar."
"Then if he takes you back, you will come back honestly?" Liu Yuenian also laughed. Haifengqiu is a guy who is too shrewd, but Bai Zhi is always stupid.
"My thunder power cannot cause harm to Wang Chengpeng." Bai Zhi sighed, "It's normal for them to leave me alone."
"My cousin was so unhappy when she said this." Liu Yuenian imitated Bai Zhi in speaking.
"What's Fifth Sister's plan?" Gu Tianbai asked, "Or have you found reinforcements?"
"I don't think they will move that fast. They will definitely kill Wang Chengpeng's men first." Bai Zhi frowned, "I can try to awaken other powers during this period."
Gu Tianbai thought for a long time and asked, "Why do you think your superpower can't cause harm to him?"
"I slashed him with a thunder blade, but it was useless." Bai Zhi bit her lip, "I hit Zhang Tianzhao with a thunder ball, and he could absorb it. I can also absorb Zhang Tianzhao's fireball. Zhang Tianzhao said it was the effect of a stabilizer."
Gu Tianbai shook his head in his heart, Bai Zhi was also very short-sighted and short-sighted by Zhang Tianzhao. He nodded and said, "Zhang Tianzhao is right. But they are doing us a disservice now. Fifth sister, let's take a trip to Xinjiang City together. I hope they will be kind enough to leave a few extra lunch boxes for Wang Chengpeng."
