Bab 4: Refugee camp
The pickup truck drove on the road for more than ten minutes, and there were fewer and fewer zombies until there was no trace of zombies around. At this time, on both sides of the road, there was a desolate wasteland with clumps of green grass growing on it. The trees that were seen occasionally had most of their leaves picked off, and they looked a little bare and full of desolation.
When we arrived here, it was no longer deserted. There were scattered cars and pedestrians on the road, and from time to time we could see a car team consisting of more than a dozen cars. Further away, there were tents set up in the wasteland, colorful and old and new. Some men, women, old and young in tattered clothes shuttled between these tents, which seemed to be very crowded and lively. This place gave Zhou Yuanqiang the feeling that it was like a refugee camp in Africa, but the difference was that you would never see any rescue workers here.
Qiu Guorui and his team did not stay in this area, but continued to drive forward along the road. On both sides of the road, like a lively market, countless people were hawking their items on the side of the road. Most of these vendors are old people, women and children. They have the lowest status in this doomsday. They have no strong military force and can only rely on men to survive. Countless hungry people looked at the cars passing by on the road with pitiful eyes. It is easy to own a car in the doomsday, but there are not many people who can drive a car. Fuel restricts the use of cars. Usually, fuel and gold are equal. That's why, in the eyes of poor and powerless people, people who drive cars are all rich people. As long as they meet someone with a softer heart, they can beg for some edible food. Looking at the human settlement camps that are even more shabby than the African refugee camps, and the skinny people, Zhou Yuanqiang, who has never been in such a situation in modern times, feels that his conscience is suffering from great torment. Compared with the first time he came to the doomsday, that small settlement can be called a paradise. Zhou Yuanqiang's expression caught the eyes of Lao Wu next to him. He sneered and said lightly: "Boy, people like this are probably like this in this doomsday. What can you do? Hehe, the people they like most are people like you who still have a little kindness. Don't blame me for not reminding you. When you are eaten until there is nothing left, it will be too late for you to regret it."
As he was talking, on the right side of the road ahead, a skinny little girl who was originally lifeless suddenly broke away from the crowd, burst out with great strength, and quickly rushed towards a modified off-road vehicle in front, shouting loudly: "Give me something to eat, I... I'm starving to death!"
The off-road vehicle braked urgently, and in the harsh brake sound, there was a loud "bang".
Time seemed to stand still for a moment. Zhou Yuanqiang could clearly see a man with a black beard on his face and chin on the passenger seat of the off-road vehicle, and the pistol in his hand was still emitting gunpowder smoke. The bullet hit the head of the little girl very accurately, shattering her whole head. Pieces of flesh, blood and broken bones flew everywhere. The little girl was lifted off the ground by the impact of the bullet, fell backwards, and hit the road heavily, splashing a light cloud of mud smoke. A thick stream of blood spurted out from the headless neck until she fell down, which was so dazzling on the road.
The sudden gunshot only caused a momentary pause on both sides of the busy road, but it returned to normal immediately.
Zhou Yuanqiang felt that his heart was suddenly cut by someone. Because in his eyes, he saw indifference. All the people who witnessed this, whether they were strong men, or cowardly old people, women and children of the same age, did not have even a trace of sympathy, or even a trace of emotional fluctuation in their eyes, as if what had just died was just a chicken and duck, not a living child.
As the culprit, Blackbeard, there was no trace of emotion in his eyes, as if he had killed a zombie instead of a human, and there was even a trace of cruel smile on the corner of his mouth. What made Zhou Yuanqiang even more unbelievable was that the other party actually cursed at the lifeless corpse: "You lowly person, if you want to die, find a corner for me to stay, damn, you dare to ram my car, I've lived enough..." As a modern man, he has received a good education. Although Zhou Yuanqiang himself does not think that he is noble and selfless, at least when one party is in trouble, Zhou Yuanqiang will respond to the call and do his best. But the scene in front of him completely exceeded a modern person's cognition of human nature. It seemed that in an instant, this scene shattered all of Zhou Yuanqiang's cognition. "This... this... this..." Zhou Yuanqiang only realized now that the end of the world is not as he imagined, where he can do whatever he wants. It is not a paradise for making money, nor is it a paradise for adventure as he imagined. This is hell. If you are not careful, your life will end here and become an insignificant member of the billions of deaths.
Zhou Yuanqiang, who stood up unintentionally, was suddenly pulled by someone and sat down again. He stared blankly at Lao Wu who pulled him down, his eyes full of questions.
Lao Wu shook his head at Zhou Yuanqiang, "Human life is not valuable here. Death happens every day. She is just a microcosm of the relationship between people. If you want to stand up for her who died, the other party will not mind shooting you directly. Remember, there is no right or wrong, no morality, and no law in the end of the world. Strength is supreme here. As long as you are stronger than him, you can decide his fate at will..."
At this point, the other party did not say anything more, but closed his eyes again. As for whether he understood or not, Zhou Yuanqiang was not familiar with him, so he did not need to worry about him. The reason for saying this paragraph was just because the other party brought three blue crystals for him.
Lao Wu's words made Zhou Yuanqiang lost for a while, and the whole person fell into deep thought. He suddenly realized that all his previous thoughts about the end of the world were so naive. He thought that the meat he brought from modern times was a rare thing in the end of the world, and he could exchange a lot of valuable things such as gold, so that he could return to the modern world and become a rich man. He could have everything he wanted.
Little did he know that his first transaction could be called lucky, because the small settlement he arrived at was not as complicated as the large settlement today. As Lao Wu just said, there is nothing in the end of the world, and the only thing left is your fist. Maybe you succeeded the first, second, or even third time, but who can guarantee that you will always succeed? Without relative strength, the other party can kill you and rob all your goods.
Now I am like a child waving a gold ingot, with huge wealth but no matching strength, like a naked woman stripped naked.
Maybe...
Zhou Yuanqiang finally found a glimmer in his confused eyes. In fact, for Zhou Yuanqiang, what he has is an advantage that others cannot have. If you want to exchange for huge wealth, you can't do much by yourself, no matter how safe you are. The only thing left is...
The stopped pickup truck started again. The body of the little girl will naturally be dealt with by some dirty people in the camp. At least they will hide in some unknown corner, have a full meal, and sigh at the sensory stimulation brought by meat. After all, food is scarce here. In order to survive, they will not mind the taste of their own kind and the loss of humanity.
