Age of Behemoths

Shen Yifei and Qin Jixun came to this place more than ten years ago. After such a long time, the population here has stabilized at about [-], and they have established their own system.However, this place is definitely not a country, and even in a certain sense, it cannot be called a city, it is still just a settlement.

Because there is no real "government" here, although there is a group of managers, these managers are all managers who have only responsibilities but no privileges.

It sounds a bit like a Utopian Arabian Nights, but it is easy to understand from another angle-in the early days of primitive society, at the stage of clan communes, did there have monarchs and nobles?

Although the population of their collective is much higher than that of a settlement in primitive society, the danger they face is also greater. There are not no selfish people, but from another aspect, the population is not too large, and everyone lives together for safety. It is very compact, which leads to almost no privacy, and it takes only a few hours for everyone to know who has done something that "stands out".

People who are too selfish will soon be kicked out of the management by others.There is no need to worry that some people will keep silent because they are afraid of being persecuted. They cannot say everything, but [-]% of people know that keeping silent will not be safe, but they are looking for death.It's better to speak generously. Anyway, there is no strongest person in this place, only stronger ones.

Such a good atmosphere is mainly due to the more than 5000 people who established this collective at the beginning.They are also a group of people who moved halfway, but had to stay where they were due to sudden earthquakes.These people are half military and half civilian, and after the mutation, one-third of them became mutants.

There must have been disagreements and bloodshed when the group was first established, but when Shen Yifei and Qin Jixun discovered them and decided to join, the good atmosphere and preliminary system of this group had already been established.

Now they have a settlement surrounded by walls.Adults have their own division of labor. Both Shen Yifei and Qin Jixun belong to the army that takes care of patrolling, guarding, hunting, fighting and so on.The largest part is farmers. Even for most urbanites, it is not an easy job for them to pick up a hoe after taking care of a pen. But in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and most of them have become qualified farmers.In addition, workers, the army and peasants will also join this team when needed. Now they have a small brick kiln, a small cement kiln, and a small hydropower plant.In addition, there are personnel in hospitals, schools, and not-so-good research institutes, as well as several special departments.

The children here have to go to school, just like little thorns.However, children over the age of 11 have become half-day classes and half-day work.The content of the work is different, depending on where there is a shortage of manpower.When you arrive, you have to volunteer.Some jobs can be done if you want to, but some jobs also need to be assessed.But there is no college entrance examination right now, it's time, various places organize assessments, and if you pass, you will go.But there are also those who have outstanding ability and can be directly "recommended".

For example, in the army, even though some young people have not been bitten by insect corpses, they still show a certain degree of mutation.The younger the age, the more obvious it is. Some mutations are for non-frontal combat, and some mutations will even weaken their bodies to a certain extent. It is difficult for them to pass the ordinary assessment, so they directly ask for someone.

Little Thorn is now at this age...

"Daddy, where are Teddy and Koala?" Thorn asked while drawing water from the well.

Their home is quite special, not in a settlement, but a two-story building with a yard on the periphery, next to the farmland.But this is not a privilege, because in addition to the three humans, there is a growing group of animal residents who have become part of the city and are well integrated into it.

The mutation probably also increased the lifespan of the animals a lot. Although the crispy noodles and BBQ are much slower now, they have changed from a cute and shameless little hairball to... an old hairball that is still cute and shameless.Take their offspring to bask in the sun every day in the yard.

However, only these two old hairballs are the most leisurely. Most of the time, their descendants go out with human teams. They are the best danger sensors, even the giant wolf, which is also a good partner for the soldiers. Sometimes less sensitive than them.

The offspring of Teddy and Koala are not as "great" as Crispy Noodles and BBQ, but they are now the best guards in this colony.In fact, from some aspects, except for Teddy and Koala, the other giant bears do not live in the settlement, but divide their respective spheres of influence around the settlement.They don't harm humans, and they don't mess up the dealers. They only appear occasionally, asking humans for snacks, or running to seek protection when they are injured.

And Teddy and Koala, who have been living together with Shen Yifei, have reached the time of caring for their lives, but occasionally they will go out for a stroll, to see their offspring, old friends, or go to human kindergartens, and children they play.

"I left at noon yesterday and didn't come back at night. Judging from the distance, I should have gone to the other side of the mountain to see Wendy's elephant herd." Wendy's elephant herd was the only one that didn't live nearby, because the adult male elephant had a It's a very troublesome estrus period. At that time, the male elephant will be extremely aggressive and manic, and his reason cannot be controlled at all.At that time, not only the surrounding humans will be in danger, but even the delicate baby elephants in the herd will be in danger.So, find an open place and lock them up.

"What about Big Big Wolf and Domineering?"

"That's too old to be idle." Shen Yifei sighed, "Just came back with us yesterday morning, and ran away with another team."

The giant waves are the most energetic. Even when Teddy and Koala are showing their old age, these guys are still as energetic as they were ten years ago, without showing any old age.

"Sheila and the police... oh, I saw it." Little Thorn saw half of a wagging tail on the roof. Although it disappeared after only shaking for a while, he also knew where the two big cats went. .Of course, the big cat's family is also growing day by day, but the mother and son are still inseparable - just mother and son love each other, nothing else.

"By the way, Dad, there is one more thing I want to ask you." Everyone in the family asked around, and Xiao Ji suddenly became coy.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Shen Yifei was pressing the sheet into the water in the basin, not paying attention to Xiaoci's expression.

"I seem to have someone I like."
