Chapter 5: City in the Camp
Originally, in Zhou Yuanqiang's imagination, this huge human settlement should be made up of tents, stretching over a large area. But Zhou Yuanqiang soon found out that he was wrong. Because after passing through this large tent camp, what came into view was a wall similar to the Great Wall. Beyond this wall, you can see some buildings behind the wall, of varying heights, which together formed the central part of the entire human settlement.
Seeing Zhou Yuanqiang with interest and curiosity, Lao Wu snorted and whispered, "He really looks like a bumpkin. You can tell at a glance that he is from a small settlement." Zhou Yuanqiang was not angry when he heard it. He changed his inner self-protection and smiled, "He is a bumpkin who has never seen the world." He rolled his eyes and said, "It can be said that we are destined to meet. I don't know what to call you, big brother? The gun skills you used to kill three zombies just now are so cool. You are simply the god of guns in the world. If the girls see you, they will definitely be fascinated by you."
Lao Wu was flattered by Zhou Yuanqiang, and a smile appeared on his expressionless face. Who doesn't have vanity? The other party was no exception. He was in a good mood and was not as cold as before. He said, "Mu Gushan, next to you is Lao Si, Chen Xun'an." Chen Xun'an was more cold than Mu Gushan. When he heard Mu Gushan introduce himself, he opened his eyes and nodded to Zhou Yuanqiang, which was considered a greeting. Zhou Yuanqiang didn't mind, at least it was much better than the other party not looking at him straight along the way. Seeing that the chatterbox was opened, Zhou Yuanqiang looked outside and whispered, "Brother Mu, what's going on here? I'm here for the first time..." Mu Gushan arrived here with the refugee camp since the formation of this settlement. It's just that he was lucky. He met Qiu Guorui and quickly gathered the current team. He began to rely on hunting zombies around this settlement to obtain crystals to make a living. Although this kind of work is very dangerous, Qiu Guorui has strong leadership ability and is not greedy. In a few years, he is not rich, but he has no worries about food and clothing.
The situation in the desert settlement was a bit complicated. He thought for a moment and said, "Since you call me Brother Mu, I must explain some things to you clearly. Did you see the front? This was originally a small town, but later it was occupied by a gathered army and became a temporary settlement. It is far away from densely populated areas, and the zombie crisis will not affect here for a while. Later, after several operations, this wall was built. Gradually, the people who fled knew about this place. With the increase in the number of people, the situation you see now has formed." Mu Gushan paused, smiled, and said, "Don't look at the chaos of the tent camp outside, but when you enter the town, you will find that it is like a paradise inside and outside. Since the power organization leading this place is the original troop, so the town maintains a rigorous military style everywhere. "
Zhou Yuanqiang was surprised and said, "Since they are soldiers, why don't they care about the refugee camp outside?"
Mu Gushan smiled bitterly and said, "It's complicated to explain, but you have to remember that huge power will make people degenerate; no matter how pure a person is, he will be corrupted one day. Maybe they were regular soldiers a few years ago, but now... Well, I can only explain so much. When you live for a while, you will know that as long as you behave yourself and abide by the rules inside, it is still very safe, and you don't have to worry about someone suddenly taking your life. "
The whole town is surrounded by a wall. Every fifty meters on it, there is a protruding point, similar to a bunker. Three soldiers on duty can be seen on it, and a machine gun is mounted on the bunker. Fifty meters in front of the wall is a vacuum zone. Among the countless tents, no one dares to cross this fifty-meter warning zone. There are four gates on the whole wall, and only the east and west two are open at ordinary times, which happen to be the two gates where the highway runs through the town.
Looking up at the sky above the town, a huge chimney towered into the sky, swallowing a lot of thick smoke. It was obvious that there was a large factory inside.
When Mu Gushan saw Zhou Yuanqiang noticed the chimney, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he said: "This is an arsenal, the core of the entire settlement. The guns and bullets we use are all produced by this arsenal. Most of our gains will be used to buy military guns and bullets, and the remaining small part will be used to solve the problem of food. In the end times, the most important things are guns and food, both of which represent survival. It is sad to say that we are only slightly better than people outside."
Behind the incomparable scenery, there are too many bitterness, which may be said of people like Mu Gushan. Maybe in the eyes of the people in the refugee camp, they are high and mighty, but in front of the real power level, a team like Mu Gushan is just an ant that can be crushed to death at any time. More appropriately, the corpse hunters are just tools of the upper power.
In order to prevent people from entering the town with viruses or mixed with strangers, people and all items need to be checked when entering and leaving the town. What reassured Zhou Yuanqiang was that this kind of inspection was not complicated. Before parking the car at the gate, two soldiers in chemical protective suits held a small instrument to scan everyone's body. For items, there was no need to open them, just scan them directly. As long as the instrument did not sound an alarm, it meant it was safe.
There were not many cars that needed to enter the town, and the inspection was completed quickly. Although Zhou Yuanqiang was a stranger, with Qiu Guorui's help, the soldiers who checked did not make it difficult. They just registered his name, asked some identity information, and issued a pass, which was considered to have the legal identity to enter and exit the town.
After entering the town, behind the wall, the huge cultivated land that was cultivated by people stretched along the wall, almost endless, and a piece of green. The slightly desertified land is not suitable for many crops. Zhou Yuanqiang only needs to distinguish them slightly to know that the crops grown here are potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are the only two drought-resistant and high-yield plants.
Many workers are working on these planting sites, clearing away all the weeds and pests. It is no exaggeration to say that the plants grown here are absolutely natural, artificial, and green food without any pesticides.
Mu Gushan explained: "Don't underestimate this circle of planting land. Its output feeds nearly 100,000 people in the entire settlement. In addition to the arsenal, the most important place is this huge plantation. This place is all taken over by the military and is listed as a restricted area. Anyone who approaches without reason can be shot dead by the soldiers guarding here."
As Mu Gushan said, in the plantation, there is a high tower built not far away, with soldiers on duty on it. From time to time, there will be a team of soldiers patrolling the plantation, which is enough to ensure that it will not be stolen or destroyed.
