Chapter 211 "The End of the Hungry Ghost" Ideal Town and the Joint Defense Force(1/2)
At night.
In a simple farmhouse in the Economic Development Zone of Lianhua City, little Allen, his hands wrapped in layers of cloth, wolfed down pigeon meat that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!
His cheeks are rosy, his limbs are sound, and his body is in good condition. Compared with those humans who died of poisoning or were transformed, he is truly lucky among misfortunes.
Beside him, sat Jiang Qian who was wiping his weapons, and Xue Yang who was packaging food for emergencies.
"Are you full?"
Jiang Qian placed all the polished sharp tools, then came to sit cross-legged in front of little Allen.
Seeing Jiang Qian approaching, little Allen quickly nibbled off the last bit of minced meat, swallowed it in a hurry, and stared at Jiang Qian nervously.
Although Jiang Qian did bring him back from the brink of infection, this did not prevent him from still being afraid of Jiang Qian.
"Don't be nervous." Jiang Qian was completely different from when he was killing Dakai. "Continue what you just said, the story of 'Leader.'"
After the battle ended during the day, the rescued little Allen humiliatedly revealed the location of the human settlement "Ideal Town" to Jiang Qian and others in order to save his life.
So Jiang Qian agreed to take him on the road and continued to discuss the following important issues:
What is the environment of an ideal town like?
How do humans survive and interact, including: the composition of people in settlements, religious beliefs, whether there are leaders, and how they collaborate?
Knowing that the other party had the technology to extract crawler secretions, we asked about the development and possibilities of other advanced technologies.
In addition to settlements like Ideal Town, have you heard of other human settlements, etc.?
Jiang Qian wanted to learn more specifically about the living conditions of the residents in Lotus City in the context of the current world view.
And this will definitely help him cope with various crises and obstacles during the next 70-day exploration cycle.
Before leaving the city and finding his current place to stay, little Allen reluctantly answered the first two questions.
First of all, Ideal Town was established two years ago and is located within the No. 1 Middle School of Lianhua City.
It is said that one year after the disaster, the "leader" led an armed team to capture this place, built fortifications here, recruited scavengers with various skills, and put them to their best use, forming a place containing all kinds of technical talents.
settlement area.
Little Allen and his father moved here a year ago and chose to join Ideal Town.
So far, his father died on a mission, and he has become a "raised" child in Ideal Town.
The leader hopes that Ideal Town, just like its name, can leave a pure land for the remaining human beings in this world: to maintain themselves and stay away from the greedy "beasts" of the outside world, and to obtain certain survival resources through labor and cooperation.
In fact, this is also true. Most people with special skills have found a safer and more stable living environment here than in the outside world.
Little Allen's father is a doctor by profession. Initially, Ideal Town accepted his father's ability and value and accepted them to live here.
Later, after his father died, little Allen's extraordinary memory and reading ability were discovered, and he also gained the favor of the leader.
Yes, Ideal Town has a leader.
Interestingly, this leader's code name is "Leader" himself, which is not modest at all...
Although the entire Ideal Town has freedom of religious belief, what everyone subconsciously trusts the most is the leader. Because the leader controls the armed forces and technology of the entire settlement, the leader's decisions are always correct, and the leader also has a strong personal charm.
and demeanor.
In Ideal Town, everyone hopes to see the leader, because the leader has the power to inspire people and wash away the gloom!
He can always guide people's hearts towards the light.
…
When he heard little Allen talking about these, his eyes unconsciously burst out with a luster of fascination.
This shows that even children like little Allen admire the leader of Ideal Town, which shows that he has indeed achieved the ultimate in interpersonal interaction and influence.
"She is a woman who is close to perfection! Beautiful, dignified, caring, and devoted to the ideal town.
She knows everything about everything, and she knows everything."
Little Allen used countless complimentary words to describe the leader of Ideal Town.
Jiang Qian and Xue Yang looked at each other and caught the same thing in each other's eyes: Is the leader of Ideal Town a woman?
Indeed, it can be thought that the people who named the settlement after "Ideal Town" have some romantic feelings.
However, this female leader was described as too "perfect" by Little Allen. She seemed to have extremely high romantic feelings and was good at technical and management skills that required high rationality, which made Jiang Qian somewhat unable to grasp this.
The true characteristics of people.
Of course, more importantly, little Allen's description alone is not enough to form effective intelligence.
"So the situation inside Ideal Town is: everyone is assigned by the leader to engage in different types of work, each using their strengths, and through 'labor,' in exchange for the necessary survival resources."
"The so-called types of labor are roughly divided into two types, one is production experiments and the other is out-of-town tasks. The remuneration for production experiments is fixed, while the remuneration for out-of-town tasks will be evaluated according to the degree of risk each time, and then the remuneration will be distributed according to the completion status.
,is that so?"
"That's right." Little Allen nodded.
"Then why did your father choose to go on a mission?" Jiang Qian heard a slight contradiction and wanted to confirm the authenticity of what little Allen said.
Hearing this question, little Allen's eyes dimmed.
He whispered: "Because I am sick. And our savings and father's remuneration are not enough to exchange for a sufficient amount of antibiotics for me. Therefore, my father chose a higher-risk mission, but he is inexperienced..."
Little Allen didn't speak completely, but Jiang Qian and Xue Yang both understood.
It can be seen that the so-called rule of replacing survival resources through labor in Ideal Town is actually impossible to meet everyone's needs.
The current world is still in a state of extreme poverty and poverty.
Even for such a valuable "labor" as a doctor, he is unable to obtain sufficient antibiotic resources for his children. Such a settlement is enough to be called an "ideal town".
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After this topic, we finally talked about what Jiang Qian and Xue Yang care about most: technology!
Especially technical achievements related to dealing with crawlers.
"In addition to the secretions that can confuse the smell of crawlers, I heard that the scientific research team has also formulated a drug to exterminate the crawlers. However, it is in the experimental stage. Except for the leader and core scientists, no one knows the specific effect..."...
.
When the female leader was mentioned, little Allen's eyes once again shone with a strange look.
This is "unexpected news" for Jiang Qian and Xue Yang.
Killing crawlers in batches, if verified to be effective, may be an important weapon for mankind to "come back". Of course, it may also be just a scam, a piece of cake that is enough to make all the residents boil and go through fire and water... Jiang Qian's heart
Make a trade-off: It is necessary to go to Ideal Town to find out.
Just as we were talking about the crux of the matter, there was a loud noise in the distance!
Jiang Qian and Xue Yang stood up and looked out the window of the farmhouse. They saw flames shooting into the sky in the direction of the center of Lotus.
There seemed to be an explosion there.
Jiang Qian immediately shifted his gaze and focused on little Allen who was standing aside: "In your opinion, is this something that Ideal Town can cause?"
Little Allen was startled and shook his head: "I heard very clearly that the thing that can kill crawlers in batches is potion... Gunpowder can't kill them! As long as the Queen is still there, they can continue to multiply and spread. Gunpowder can't kill them!"
Their numbers can only be reduced temporarily, but they cannot become extinct..."
He was stunned for a while, seemed to think of something again, and added:
"Perhaps it was a clearance operation by the Joint Defense Forces. They are the only ones possessing weapons of destruction of this scale..."
"Joint defense force, clearance operation?" Jiang Qian savored these two new terms.
Explosions happen again!
The sound of continuous explosions is endless, and the fire in the distance is grand and dense! What follows is the strange smell of burnt lake floating in the air...
When this wave of explosions passes,
Little Allen continued to explain:
"It is the current security unit! It is known as the last bastion of mankind. It is composed of survivor corps from many countries. It establishes a centrally integrated weapons transportation system, regularly kills crawlers in batches with large weapons, and plans to release the living space of mankind...
"
"Is it equivalent to the official army of this world?"
"The official troops... well, you can say that, they will often send people to Ideal Town for inspections, because they need to regularly count the number of remaining survivors to facilitate recruitment and so on."
Official agencies maintain contact with various settlements. Well, it turns out that this is the mode of operation... Jiang Qian quickly stored these newly acquired information and concepts into his brain.
Through communication, he has gradually discovered the differences in this chestnut-haired boy.
He "knows" a little too much.
What he disclosed to Jiang Qian during the contact was beyond the scope of what a young man who does not need to work should know.
This may be related to his ability and status as a "prodigy", but of course, it does not rule out the possibility of "making up stories".
The sound of explosions in the distance is still going on in waves.
Jiang Qian silently planned his next move: Currently, 20 super species players have begun activities in Lotus City and surrounding areas.
With this kind of random activity, the opportunities for interaction between the three parties will increase exponentially, and the countless possibilities that will be born will lead to many new clues and causes and effects.
To be continued...
