Being a villain in apocalyptic writing

"Uncle Han downstairs had a fever five days ago. But today I heard that before his fever subsided, he packed his luggage and went to the central city, saying that he found a better job. Since then, no one has been able to contact him."

Jiang Ping realized that something was wrong, but still said, "But, maybe what he said is true."

The more timid a person is, the more likely he is to cover his eyes and ears when in trouble. Even if he realizes that something is wrong, he will still try to pretend that nothing happened.

"Maybe, but it's better to be careful. A lot of people have disappeared here recently, and some things are not something we can get involved in."

"Okay, I won't go looking for her..." Jiang Ping responded hesitantly.

The two adults then calculated how much supplies they should exchange tomorrow, and how to stagger their working hours afterwards.

Jiang Ye moved to the next home.

She followed the footsteps of the "Inter-City Army" who were searching, and camped in more than thirty houses. She felt dizzy from using her special powers, but she finally got some information.

For example, the inter-city army is only responsible for patrolling the "central city" and "ordinary resettlement circle", while the refugee camps and mercenary circles have so-called "guard regiments".

For example, the general resettlement circle has not been peaceful recently. Several people who have been working for almost two years suddenly fell ill and then moved to the central city for various reasons.

There was another special thing. While everyone was obeying the inter-city army who were searching, a man growled through the door at them to get away.

When faced with the anger of the Intercity Army, he only smiled sinisterly and said that he was there when riot happened in the refugee camp yesterday.

These words instantly made the inter-city army run away as if they had seen a ghost.

As they ran away, the neighbors around them who didn't know what was going on were dumbfounded.

But soon, the intercity army came back with a group of people in protective clothing, and surrounded the one-kilometer area with silver-gray barriers.

In the chaos, Jiang Ye heard someone's trembling voice saying that this was Dongxing City's measure to deal with severely infected people.

The last time he saw it, hundreds of people had died, all killed by that infected person.

……

Jiang Ye listened around the corner and roughly figured out the clues.

She hid in a small bungalow that had been searched and opened the system map again.

Click on the marking pen on the panel, zoom in on the current location, and start drawing.

The white cat, who was lying on her shoulder and listening to the information all the way, looked at what she was drawing, and its eyes gradually brightened.

It is mentioned in the novel that the laboratory is located in the core area of ​​"Dongxing City".

Jiang Ye originally thought that since it was a circle, the refugee camp should not be far from the laboratory, because the laboratory would constantly look for "experimental subjects" in the refugee camp.

But after comparing the map and what she heard along the way, she discovered that Dongxing City should be the Pudong District that runs from west to east, across the coast of Hai City.

Expand outward in a semicircle.

The so-called "East Star City" should be divided into the central city, ordinary resettlement circle, refugee camp and mercenary circle.

The central city is located in the west, and its area is not large, but the experimental building is located here, and all buildings are made of radiation-proof materials. The people here are either rich or noble, and they even know some resources that ordinary people don't know, such as "nutrient solution".

Further east is the ordinary resettlement area. Those who live here are those who have jobs in Dongxing City or are indigenous residents. It is very crowded, and they exchange their work for survival supplies.

The refugee camp should be further out, where a free meal is distributed every day, but because of the heavy radiation, the mortality rate is high and the turnover of people is large.

Those who cannot stay in the ordinary resettlement circle will choose to move out.

The outermost circle is inhabited by mercenaries and is probably the closest to the coast, so it is called the "refugee camp protection line." Most of them are mutants who rely on hunting mutant sea beasts, animals and plants to exchange them for Zhiming coins or supplies from the "Material Distribution Department."

The Material Distribution Department...

That's very interesting.

Everyone can exchange supplies from the Material Distribution Department.

So what can support the daily supply and transportation of materials to the central city, ordinary resettlement circles and refugee camps?

Jiang Ye looked at the layout of Dongxing City drawn on the map and suddenly tilted his head: "Do you have the previous subway distribution map?"

The white cat was startled and fell off her shoulder, still answering, "Yes!"

It flew to the suspended translucent panel and touched it with its cat claws. The previous subway layout of Haishi instantly emerged under the topographic map.

Before Jiang Ye could react, it just let out a puzzled "Huh?"

Because the area of ​​Dongxing City that Jiang Ye vaguely outlined on the map was just crossed by two subway lines.

Jiang Ye was not surprised by this.

After the end of the world, the infrastructure was severely damaged, but since the distribution of supplies must be carried out on a daily basis, unobstructed transportation routes are necessary.

There are too many variables on the ground, so the extensive subway lines underground are likely to be the first choice.

She wanted to go to the refugee camp, and she would definitely get there by following the supply distribution route.

only--

At this moment, they are almost the same distance from the two roads, one in the south and the other in the north, but they are too busy to go back and forth, and it would waste a lot of time.

Jiang Ye's eyes fell on the white cat with its back to her, and she suddenly asked, "Which one do you want to choose?"

"Ah?" The white cat was ignored for a day, and was so surprised by the trust of its host that he was embarrassed, "Should I choose?"

"..." Jiang Ye's hair stood on end, but he remained expressionless, "Choose!"

"Then let's go to the north one," it pointed shyly.

Row.

Jiang Ye followed the advice and immediately chose Line 2 in the north.

There's no way, she always makes the same mistake in this kind of choice, and it's easy to fail no matter which one she chooses.

Jiang Ye did not dare to ask for help. Firstly, her current appearance would easily arouse suspicion. Secondly, she also needed time to get familiar with her ability.

Line 2 is about 12 kilometers away from her. Jiang Ye set out at four in the morning, avoiding people along the way, stopping to rest for a while, and finally arrived at Line 17 at around :.

Seeing the bustling crowd at the material distribution point, Jiang Ye, an African, looked at the System White Cat with new eyes for the first time.

She hid behind an abandoned bus stop to calm the pain in her brain.

She did not delay along the way, but after using her teleportation ability 10 times in a row, she had to rest for half an hour to relieve the severe headache.

The superpower consumes mental energy, which is too mysterious. She can't think of any other way to replenish it except sleeping or taking a nap.

The movement range is equal to the maximum value of her "vision range" or "perception range".

For example, if she was in the basement like before, her field of vision would be less than 30 meters, but her perception range would be about 150 meters, so she could teleport to the ground 150 meters away.

But at high altitude, her field of vision became wider, and she could teleport to any place where she could see the basic shape.

And no matter how far the distance is, the mental drain on her is the same.

If you carry items with you and move them continuously, the consumption will increase exponentially. This is what she discovered when she threw the bag of medicine out to divert her attention.

This mutant ability is much stronger than she expected.

Based on the original novel she had read, Jiang Ye could be sure that the strength of this ability was definitely above average.

But in the novel, there is no such strong man under Wan Zhiming's command.

She realized once again that the reality of this world seemed to be separating from the novel at any time...
