Chapter 44： Xiangping Town (5)

"The message you mentioned earlier was automatically sent by the system at the moment of the end of the world. I don't know the exact principle. I only know that this is a program that was set in advance. If such a major disaster occurs across the country, the system will A message will be sent automatically, and a meeting place will be sent according to the area. But as far as I know, the area of ​​C city should not belong to the coverage of Xiangping Town, but when the end of the world comes, the entire magnetic field will be chaotic, and it is possible to send it to the wrong place. "

Ye Xuan asked curiously, "Why Xiangping Town?"

"Because this is the place that was chosen before." Shen Ping did not play dumb riddles with his nephew and his companions, and said frankly: "Long before the end of the world, the country made some preparations for this major disaster. , For example, building large warehouses across the country to store food, medicine, clothing and other necessities. In peacetime, this was just a relatively large-scale transit station, but if something goes wrong, such a warehouse can provide necessary supplies to surrounding cities. There is a pharmaceutical factory in Xiangping Town, agriculture is relatively developed, and the geographical location is suitable, so a large warehouse was built here. On the bright side, this is just a warehouse, but in fact the underground area is very large. But I know this There are very few people involved in the matter. For example, I just heard about such a thing from my father, and I don’t know where the specific warehouse is, so the people from your base didn’t send anyone here.”

"Of course, you also know that this kind of place is not only to provide supplies to the surrounding cities in an emergency, but also because there is a need for a place for all places to meet to unite this scattered sand."

If the connection between various regions has been disconnected for a long time, there may be a situation of independent governance. In the long run, accidents are likely to occur. They all understand this.

"Because city b is relatively close to here, I already went to Xiangping Town half a month ago. The situation in city b is complicated, and there are people from any faction. We have more than 100 people belonging to different forces. Although I After entering the town, I felt that something was wrong, but they urged them so hard that they could only keep going inside, and it didn't take long for us to be surrounded by zombies."

"First, thousands of unadvanced zombies gathered around and forced us to shoot, and then the zombies moved up as if we couldn't kill them all. Although we brought a lot of ammunition, there were too many zombies. It is also easy to affect our hits. It didn’t take long for the bullets to be consumed, and we could only drive in the direction where there were no zombies. When we entered this area, which is the depths of the town, those zombies finally stopped coming around. It gave us a chance to breathe."

"At this time, we had a dispute over the direction of progress. Some felt that we should continue to explore inward, and some felt that we should retreat first. Before we quarreled, the old thing repeated itself. We were killed by hundreds of evolved zombies. When we were forced into this street, they seemed to do it on purpose, only leaving us a way to escape, forcing us to escape here... When we entered this street, there were finally no zombies around. But we can't get out either."

Ling Jiaze asked inexplicably, "Wait a minute, what do you mean by not being able to get out?"

"It's literally, we can't get out of this street, let alone this town. As soon as we leave this street, a large group of zombies will come up, and we can't get out after a few attempts, and we can only stay here in the end. ."

"Is there anything special about this street?"

Shen Ping led them to the window, pointed to a house on the street and said, "Did you see the gray-white one-story house on the corner? That's the entrance to the warehouse, and that's the destination of our trip."

Ye Xuan glanced at the private house from a distance through the window. It seemed that it was just an ordinary house from the outside, but it gave him an inexplicable feeling of heart palpitations, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. Look away.

Seeing that both of them turned their heads away, Shen Ping said, "Does it feel a little wrong? We have tried it, we can go anywhere on this street, but this house is the only one we can't get close to, and we feel disgusted when we get close. Yesterday, a daring man tried to break in, and he died without opening the door."

Ye Xuan slowed down for a while, and asked about another thing that he just noticed, "The building we are in is not large, and we haven't seen many people. Where are the more than 100 of you, Uncle Shen?"

Shen Ping didn't mention the fact that he suddenly changed his name, he sneered and said: "The things that can be found on this street are limited, and the things we bring with us are also limited. Everyone is not a powerful person, and they are suspicious of each other when they get together. , after confirming that there are no zombies on this street, I will take my own people to find a building to stay in each."

Ye Xuan: It turns out that the struggle for power in city B is still so fierce in the life and death. It is really amazing that you don't forget that everyone is not a group.

Ling Jiaze, who didn't know how to evaluate those people, asked, "What about them? We didn't notice anyone in other houses when we went to this street just now."

"They're all huddled on the fifth floor," Shen Ping said coldly, "I didn't have many things with me, and I didn't immediately look for supplies when I got to this street, so they separated me first."

What Shen Ping did not explain is that although these groups of people fought fiercely with each other, they were all local forces in City B. Only he has been operating in City B for several years, but there is a high possibility that he will have to fight in the end of the world. Back to the northwest to reunite with my father and brother. In other words, he is an outsider among outsiders in this group.

In fact, if Shen Ping hadn't wanted to come and try to see if he could find out about Ling Jiaze from people in other places, he wouldn't have strongly requested to participate in such a mission that involved a lot of supplies and connections.

Ye Xuan doesn't know much about the twists and turns here, but Ling Jiaze can guess a few points, and his face is a little ugly.

"I haven't finished my words yet, why are you showing such an expression? After listening to this, I'll fight for my uncle." Shen Ping comforted him and then said, "I'll bring someone to this building after we leave. They lived in the three buildings diagonally opposite each other. Everyone thought we were just trapped here, and there was no danger to our lives for the time being. Who would have thought that we would be surrounded by noon the next day? Those hundreds of zombies appeared again."

"At that time, the zombies broke into the easternmost courtyard. When I saw the door of the courtyard was knocked open, I was ready to bring people to support, and I was ready to fight to the death. But soon I found out that the zombies did not take the inside. All the people were killed, they only dragged away all the ordinary people and five supernatural beings in the yard, drove them to the house with the warehouse entrance, and left the street."

"After this incident, the rest of the people panicked. They came to me. We tried together for a day and couldn't get out of this street. In the end, we could only resign and pray that the group of zombies would not appear again." Shen Ping paused for a while, then said with half-closed eyes: "At noon on the third day, the zombies followed suit and took away most of the people in the other room."

Ye Xuan suddenly said: "They have raised you in captivity..."

Ling Jiaze only thought it was absurd and said incredulously, "Raising humans in captivity? Can zombies already do this?"

"It's in captivity," Shen Ping nodded solemnly, and then said about the situation behind, "This kind of thing happened for two days in a row, and the rest of the people panicked. At this time, one person brought it up since the zombies always put If the ordinary people are taken away, then the ordinary people will be separated from them, and their lives will be used to save the remaining people."

"Is this person crazy? Can't he see the power users who died two days ago?"

"Yeah, I was scared crazy," Shen Ping said sarcastically, and his face was still not good, "On the fourth day, ordinary people in the whole house were driven into that house, and the yard where the supernatural powers lived was also blocked. After breaking in, more than a dozen people with supernatural powers died; on the fifth day, people from another area came, and all of them became the victims of that day... Until today, the more than 100 people we came here , there are only thirty or so left."

That is to say, at least 70 people were driven into that house by zombies, and this is not counting the number of people from other places.

After realizing this, even if they didn't have a good impression of the seventy people, they felt heavy in their hearts, and the room fell into depression and silence for a while.

Ye Xuan was the first to break the silence, "I noticed when I came in just now that there seem to be a few ordinary people here on the third floor. Are they new here today?"

"There are two people I brought, and a few people who came last week." Shen Ping explained, "I didn't agree when they wanted to separate ordinary people, anyway, I don't live with them. , I forcibly kept the people here. After the death of the ordinary people on the fourth day, the zombies originally came towards us. The dozen of us fought with them, but just as I was about to die, the net was broken. When the zombies suddenly retreated, they never came again, only restricting us from leaving this street. The group of people who came with me in the next few days also moved in, plus the people who entered the town one after another, this The building becomes a temporary safety zone.”

Ling Jiaze murmured, "I don't understand..."

There are too many things he can't understand: why do zombies do this? What's so weird about that house? Since the resistance is effective, why do those people still push innocent people to die...

"I didn't even want to understand what's going on." Shen Ping pursed his lips and said firmly: "Although this group of zombies has not come back for almost a week, but the things we brought are almost finished, so it's hard to use our strength. If we are exhausted and slaughtered by others, it is better to take the opportunity to fight. The new group of people upstairs are not ready to sit still after hearing what I have said. We have already decided to break out in the morning three days later. It’s better than being eaten by zombies as captive food.”

Ling Jiaze said decisively, "I'm with you!"

"Me too, Uncle Shen, can you tell me about the power users who survived... No, to be precise, what are the characteristics of the power users who are kept in captivity?"

Ye Xuan remembered that Shen Ping died in the process of advancement because he was injured in his previous life. According to the current situation, it is very likely that he injured his foundation here. At the same time, it also shows that the predicament of this town is not impossible. untie. Since this happened to him in this life, he should always find a way to earn a better ending.

The warehouse is made up by me, probably similar to a large state-run transit station, but the privacy is a little higher

Probably the operation mode is to put in some parts and ship out some parts to ensure that there will always be a lot of materials in this place.
