How to survive in the wasteland of human cubs

When Major General Lin said this, he nodded to the side, and the soldiers on the side immediately turned on the projector, and a video appeared on a white screen behind him.

In the video, there are ruins, and the camera is shaking constantly, showing that the shooting point is on a tracked vehicle.The camera switches occasionally, and you can see soldiers wearing temperature-proof suits at close range, which should be taken by the recorder on the soldiers' heads.

Because they knew what was going to happen next, everyone in the square held their breaths, including Yan Bubu and a few children beside him, who also concentrated on watching the picture.

The tracked vehicle bumped over the ruins, and everything looked normal.But at this moment, the bricks and tiles nearby suddenly sank, revealing a hole, and a rope flew out from the hole, flexibly wrapped around the waist of a soldier on the tracked vehicle.

"Ah—" In the exclamation of the soldier, the rope quickly retracted, rolling him into the hole.

Only then did the other soldiers come to their senses, jumped out of the car and flew to the hole, the video camera also shook with their footsteps, and then a dark hole appeared.

The hole was very deep, and the soldier was still hanging in the air by grabbing a horizontal steel rod at the entrance of the hole.

"Help... me..." He raised his head and begged for help with difficulty, but the rope wrapped around his waist was tightening, dragging him down.

Because the camera distance is close, everyone in the square can see clearly that what is wrapped around his waist is not a rope, but a long and slender tree root, and the roots are still stained with mud.

"hold onto!"

Two soldiers on the ground stretched out their hands to drag him, and another drew out a dagger and bent down, trying to cut off the tree roots around his waist.

But the tree root started to tighten inward, like a steel wire, bit by bit into the soldier's waist, into the flesh, making it impossible for the dagger to touch.And the soldier's waist gushed out blood, and his mouth was also spurting blood, and it seemed that he was dying.

It is estimated that in consideration of the psychological endurance of some people, the video stopped abruptly here, and instead of continuing to play, it switched to the next paragraph.

The next few paragraphs are similar to this paragraph, or a group of wild cats about the size of wolfdogs suddenly sprang out from the roadside, dragging a soldier into the depths of the ruins, or patches of rose vines, covering the entire crawler vehicle. Entangled, slowly and fully wrapped...

Some of the people in the square were ashen-faced with fright, trembling and closing their eyes, while others covered their mouths with tears overflowing from the corners of their eyes.And the row of children sitting on the iron arms of the excavator were all terrified.

Yan Bubu had been chased by a tiger before, and also encountered a killing vine in the research institute, so watching these videos, he already has a certain ability to resist shocks, and he is much calmer than other children.

But even so, he was still afraid.

"Brother." He called softly.

Feng Chen turned his head, didn't ask Yan Bubu why he called him, but stretched out his hands, took him into his arms and hugged him upright.

The video played for a few paragraphs and then stopped, and the screen went dark.But the people in the square already understood that the deaths of the more than 400 soldiers were not just statistics, but more than 400 horrible death experiences.

Just like the video they saw just now, it was bloody and cruel, and it had already broken through the limit of the human heart.

Major General Lin gave everyone a period of psychological buffering, so he didn't speak immediately. After several minutes, his deep voice came out from the loudspeaker.

"What you just saw is the mutated animals and plants, which are highly aggressive to humans. Don't ask me how they mutated, because I don't know."

"You are protected by the Western Union Army in the underground settlement. You only have to worry about what will be served for lunch today and whether there will be mushroom soup for dinner. I didn't plan to make these images public. Whether it is sacrifice or battle, it is the duty of soldiers. But now, the situation is very difficult for all of us, and we have reached a point where we have to release this information."

"Maybe you still have expectations, thinking that the central city will send people to rescue, or you can go back to the ground if you persist for another two months, and this reassuring information is what we are willing to convey to you before."

Major General Lin's voice became more and more serious: "But now, I must break everyone's illusions and let you face the cruel reality. This earthquake will not only hurt Haiyun City, but our entire Eha A catastrophe for the United States, and the entire planet, for all humanity. We will not wait for any rescue, we will have to save ourselves."

Although many people already knew this, there were still low weeping sounds from the crowd.

"All our hopes are in the temperature-controlled garden in the development zone, in the newly eared corn and the newly formed potatoes. But now the Western Union Army is facing a serious problem, that is, the number of soldiers is far from enough."

When Major General Lin said this, his eyes gradually turned solemn: "There are more and more mutants, and it has reached the point where we have to clean up. If we let it develop, we will not even be able to get out of the gate of the resettlement site one day, and the result will be troublesome. Died in the ground. Soldiers can't grow food and clean up the mutants, so now, the mutants are handed over to the Western Union Army to deal with, but you have to go to the temperature-controlled garden to grow food."

After Major General Lin's words fell, the audience did not have as much discussion as at the beginning, but fell into silence collectively.

After maintaining this eerie silence for 2 minutes, Major General Lin glanced at the soldier beside him, who immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "We not only have plantations, but also other jobs. Everyone is welcome to actively sign up and participate. We You are not forced to go, everything is voluntary, and those who are willing to be the first batch can come directly to the registration office to register."

He pointed to a small table next to it, on which was a small board for the registration office, and a soldier was sitting behind it.

The discussion buzzed again, and some people began to whisper to each other.The ground is so cruel, since it is a voluntary principle, no one is willing to go there.

Major General Lin has already made his words very clear, everyone understands the truth, but he also understands that he has only one life.

The soldier continued: "Because of the food shortage, all points on the credit card have been cleared, and the credit points for this month will be reissued, with a total of [-] points."

"What? Reset? Only one hundred points will be issued? How can one hundred points be enough to eat, so you won't starve to death."

"Yes, although there is a shortage of food, doesn't it mean that potatoes will come out soon? Why should we lower our credit points?"

Facing the constant questioning, the soldiers were clearly prepared, and their tone was still unhurried: "One hundred points is just a basic point. If you participate in planting and breeding, or other reconstruction work, you can get another five hundred points every month. point."

Hearing this, Feng Chen's eyebrows twitched. It seems that Major General Lin really has a way, saying that he doesn't force people to participate, but lowers everyone's credit points. If you want to have a good meal, you have to earn credit points.

"Five hundred points? That's not bad, it can keep the whole family from starving to death."

"Not bad, you didn't watch those videos just now, five hundred is just buying your life."

"But with those [-] points, plus each person's [-] original points, not only myself, but also my wife and children can eat half full."

"If you want to go, you can go. I won't go anyway. I'm a bachelor. If I only eat one meal a day for a hundred o'clock, I can still make do with it."

"It's not enough to eat just one meal. Every meal costs 30 o'clock, and 150 o'clock for [-] days, not to mention the rent to pay."

Yan Bubu half-understood, but from the comments of the people around him, he knew that he would not have enough to eat in the next few days, so he leaned into Feng Chen's ear and asked softly, "Brother, are we going to starve?"

Feng Chen frowned, pursed his lips and did not answer, Yan Bubu said again: "I'm not afraid of being hungry, I have a lot of meat, I'll give you half of my meal, as long as you don't starve me to death."

Amidst the confusion of voices, an old female voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Major General Lin, I am already 70 years old, and I am not in good health. I want to farm, but I am afraid that it will become a burden to you. My family is just me and my son." The daughter-in-law, she is five months pregnant now, and she can't farm the land. But if we don't earn credits, how will we live?"

Others responded one after another: "Yes, everyone can't go, except for the elderly and pregnant women, what about those children?"

"It's okay for children to have parents."

"But there are also orphans. Look at these two, aren't they orphans?"

The eyes of the people around were all on Feng Chen and Yan Bubu.

Yan Bubu shrank his neck uncomfortably, and buried his face on Feng Chen's shoulder.

Feng Chen stared at the front calmly, as if the orphan they said had nothing to do with him.

Major General Lin looked down at the ground without making a sound, and the soldier yelled, "Everyone be quiet."

The noise slowly subsided, and the soldier said in a deep voice: "The work of the plantation is not heavy, and it is basically replaced by machinery, but it cannot be operated without human beings. Therefore, whether it is an elderly person or a pregnant woman, it is actually quite capable. If you are sick Those who are seriously ill and especially weak can participate in other easier reconstruction work. For example, in our resettlement site, a large amount of Lishi is needed to ensure the power supply. Choose from the mine, if you choose three Lishi, you can earn five points—"

"Why do we have to do this? What do you do in the Western Union Army?" A harsh voice suddenly sounded from the crowd, interrupting the soldier's words.

Everyone followed the sound, including Yan Bubu and Feng Chen.

The one who spoke was a strong man with a full face, his T-shirt was tightly stretched by his muscles.He sneered and then continued: "Hey, the Western Union Army and the Eastern Union Army of the United States used to be so majestic. Who doesn't know that you are fighting to the death with the people's money and not doing anything serious. Now that something happened, a He slipped away early, and the other one is even worse, he wants to send us to death, so he has the nerve to talk about the duties of a soldier."

When he said these few words, although no one in the audience dared to speak out, there was more or less agreement in his expression.

"Nonsense!" The soldier yelled angrily, "The Eastern Allied Forces don't mention it, but how long have we Western Allied Forces protected you? Now if there is another way, is there any need for you to go to the temperature control plantation?"

"You are soldiers, and it is your bounden duty to protect the people, instead of letting us lead the charge and die." The strong man did not back down.

"When you go to the temperature-controlled garden, you are still escorted by soldiers, but you are required to carry out the planting work."

"Hehe, can you guarantee our safety? In the video just released, the entire car was swept away. Is your escort useful?"

Others also boldly echoed loudly: "That's right, saying that we are going to farm, isn't that just sending us to death?"

"Are you soldiers or are we soldiers? If I had known earlier, I would have gone with the Eastern Union Army."

"The Eastern Alliance Army is not a fun thing either, they are a nest of snakes and rats."

"Now we are being forced to die. If we don't go, we will starve to death."

The soldier blushed with anger, and was about to continue, but Major General Lin, who had been silent all this time, raised his hand to stop him: "There's no need to argue, it's useless."

Major General Lin glanced slowly across the faces of the crowd, and finally landed on the strong man. He stretched out a finger and pointed at him, and said three words softly: "Catch it."

Several soldiers rushed over, grabbed the strong man and pushed him onto the platform.The strong man struggled desperately. Although he had brute strength, he was not a well-trained military opponent. After a few strokes, his arms were cut backwards and he was pushed in front of Major General Lin.

Major General Lin stretched out his hand to the side, and a leather whip was handed over to him.

Snapped!

The whip drew an arc in the air and landed heavily on the strong man's back, the sound made everyone in the audience tremble.The clothes on the strong man's back were instantly torn, leaving a raised bloodstain.

"Soldiers? Shit! They're all bastards. Major generals? They only show their prestige in front of us civilians." The strong man was whipped. Although the pain caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead, he was very stubborn. Start cursing loudly.

"Shut up for him." Major General Lin ordered the people around him to roll up the sleeves of his military uniform.

The strong man's mouth was immediately blocked. He whimpered and struggled, but was pinned down firmly by several soldiers.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

The continuous sound of the whip sounded, seven or eight times in full, until the strong man finally lost his voice.

Only then did Major General Lin throw the whip aside, and said to the soldiers beside him, "Take him to the medical point and let the doctor give him medicine."

"Yes."

The audience was completely silent, and everyone was shocked by this scene and did not dare to make any more noise.Yan Bubu was held in Feng Chen's arms all the time, and just now every time the whip sounded, he couldn't help shivering.

When he saw the strong man being carried off with blood and wounds on his back, he moved close to Feng Chen's ear and whispered, "The Western Allied Army is good or bad, our Eastern Allied Army doesn't beat people, right?"

Feng Chen replied honestly: "I can't tell."

Yan Bubu was confused by this answer. He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then continued to ask softly, "Then the one who was beaten was a bad person?"

Feng Chen pondered for a while, and said: "The one who was beaten was not a bad person, but under the current situation, I support Major General Lin's approach."

Yan Bubu was even more confused now, but Major General Lin started talking again, so he didn't continue to ask further questions.

"The situation is very serious now. Our Haiyun City has reached the point where life and death are at stake. If we can't concentrate everyone's strength and only rely on the thousands of soldiers of the Western Alliance Army, then the final outcome will not only be the Western Alliance Army, but also all of you who are present here. Man, no one survives."

"It's still the same sentence. No one can stay out of it. If you want to live, you can sign up with the person in charge of your area. If you don't participate, we will not force you. We will give you [-] credit points every month. But there is one thing , I am a person who can't hear the slightest doubt, if anyone makes a sound again, get out of the resettlement point."

After Major General Lin finished the call, he didn't speak again, and no one dared to urge him. More than 1 people in the audience didn't even cough, and just waited quietly.

"What I said just now was the first thing, and now I want to talk about the second thing tonight. I think you all know that the hive has been a little restless these days, and there have been several very brutal and vicious attacks."

"I know that you have various speculations in private, and there is no need to continue to hide it now, so I decided to tell you this, so that everyone can be more vigilant and enter a state of high alert."

He nodded slightly behind him, and a young medical officer wearing glasses and a white coat came up.

The medical officer didn't take the microphone either, and just started talking. Everyone could only see his mouth opening and closing, but they couldn't hear the sound. The soldiers on the side quickly put the microphone into his hand.

"—An unknown virus causes brain lesions, and the incubation period is still uncertain. The longest known incubation period is half a year. That is to say, the virus has sneaked into the human body before the earthquake. The common initial symptoms of infected people are like a cold. , followed by a rise in body temperature, which may be intermittent low-grade fever, and occasionally high fever. But this stage from the incubation period to the onset period is very short, only a few seconds. The symptoms of an infected person during the onset period are rationality and consciousness Lost all sense of pain and pain, indiscriminately attacking healthy people around, there is no cure for this virus at this stage.”

"Zombie, is it a zombie?" Someone asked loudly from below.

The medical officer pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "If you're asking about the one in the movie, the symptoms are indeed similar. Let's call these infected people zombies."

"Will people who are bitten by zombies also become zombies?" The man then asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

The medical official said: "The bitten person will have the same physical characteristics and physiological conditions as the mutant, but will die soon, and there is no effective treatment. However, the first bitten person only had a short period of time from injury to death. It took a few minutes, and now it has been extended to several hours. If it takes a while, the injured may not die, but they may also enter a mutated state."

"That is to say, after a while, the bitten person will not only not die, but also turn into a zombie?"

The medical officer replied cautiously: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
