Corrupted Nation

The three of them walked in silence, and Xiao Wu bumped Lin Wu's shoulder: "What I said is not quite right."

"No need to apologize."

"I didn't apologize."

"Earthlings are just hypocritical."

"You aliens are not much better." Xiao Wu pointed to the fork on the left: "Turn left. Above us is the Midtown Business District. The once most prosperous area, Seal Street, one of the top ten financial centers in the world, is gathered here. Said to be the smartest man in the world.”

Lin Wu said: "In our time, we called these people criminals."

Xiao Wu asked in surprise: "Can't we invest in the future?"

"Of course you can invest." Lin Wu said, "Lin Meng, you are familiar with finance. Let me tell you."

Lin Mengdao: "In the early years, financial investment was non-productive. If you borrowed A's money to make money, A had to bear the risk. As a financial institution, B took the lion's share of the money. If it lost money, it would not delay your salary. If it didn't work, you could file for company bankruptcy." Therefore, in the future, the losses will need to be borne by the institution. Therefore, not just any cat or dog can do finance. They must have extremely strong abilities and strength. If you cannot afford the compensation, you will go to jail."

Xiao Wu: "Are there any investment institutions?"

"Of course there is. You lose money when you lose, and you make money when you win. You can invest as much as you like. Anyway, any fund can guarantee the bottom line. The difference is whether you make more or less." Lin Mengdao: "For example, A bought it with 10 million B's fund, B earns 10 million from this, and distributes 5 million to A. A's assets are 15 million, and B's assets are 5 million. According to the earth model, B will clear the assets and start again. To raise funds, A invested 15 million for the second time and lost 10 million, while B charged 1 million in handling fees and other expenses. In both transactions, the win and loss were both 10 million, and A, as an investor, only had 4 million left. , B made six million as an institution.”

Doing investment business in Blue Star is also very profitable. If you have the ability, do it, and if you have the strength, you will lose money. This is equivalent to raising the threshold for entry into the industry. In the same way, you cannot let individual consumers identify whether the beef sold on the market is real beef. You have to ensure that the beef sold on the market is definitely real beef.

The three of them walked and chatted about the differences between Blue Star and Earth, which relieved the dull atmosphere. Lin Meng also introduced the basic situation of Shitou and others. He was very careful in wording and applied the concept of Lin Wu's thousand-year-old Blue Star people who accidentally fell into the wormhole.

"Can you live to be 180 years old?" Xiao Wu was shocked: "You are still just children now."

"Shh!" Lin Meng gestured and spoke louder and louder.

Lin Wu also raised his fist. There was a station ahead, and it had been occupied by zombies.

Lin Wu took out his mobile phone, Xiao Wu pointed to the route and whispered: "This station is called White Collar Station, and the passengers are basically migrant workers living in the suburbs or even suburbs. This station is closest to Galaxy Building, but this station has the most people, so I choose the route At that time, I said, we have to change the line and go to another station: the fire station. The white-collar station is about one kilometer away from the Galaxy Building, and the fire station is about 1.5 kilometers away from the Galaxy Building."

Lin Wu nodded and continued to move forward. He saw nearly a hundred zombies at the platform and a dozen zombies on the track under the platform. Lin Wu stepped back to explain the situation: "Can we take a detour?"

"It's very far." Xiao Wu pointed to the map on his mobile phone: "Take Line 3 and go back around, at least 20 kilometers."

Lin Wu said: "You lure the enemy, one by one." He can only use the stupidest method.

Xiao Wu nodded and moved forward, quickly entering the light area. Xiao Wu whistled lightly, and the two nearest zombies immediately reacted, turned their bodies, and ran towards Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu ran back, and two zombies chased into the darkness. Lin Wu and Lin Meng faced one zombie each.

Lin Wu had no chance of backstabbing, so he could only fight the zombies with a dagger, using his own strength and the cloth protection on his arms to look for opportunities to shoot his head. Lin Meng used a water pipe to catch the zombie and hit it on the head. The two sides fought back and forth. Although Lin Meng couldn't knock the zombie's head off, the zombies couldn't compare to Lin Meng's experience and couldn't catch Lin Meng at all.

However, Lin Meng began to pant after a while, and Lin Wu asked in surprise: "What kind of physical strength do you have?"

Lin Meng burst into tears: "It's not fair, I'm not that kind of person."

Xiao Wu took a nail hammer and stepped forward to assist Lin Meng. This thing was very cruel. He knocked open the zombie's head in two or three strokes, and then helped Lin Wu take down the zombie. Xiao Wu curiously asked: "What's unfair?"

Lin Wu answered quickly: "After passing through the wormhole, some changes will occur in the body. My physical strength is greatly enhanced, while hers is greatly reduced."

Xiao Wu did not doubt that he was there and continued to collect zombies. Lin Meng said in Lin Wu's ear: "What do you think he would do if he knew that he was just an NPC?"

Lin Wu thought for a while and replied: "Despair is more desperate than death. Unless Shuguang does not set the mood of despair." Strictly speaking, Shuguang can only set the state of despair, but cannot set the mood of despair, because it does not understand despair.

Lin Meng: "I thought of a bug. If we asked about children, Xiao Wu would be surprised why there are no people under the age of 18 on the earth."

Lin Wu said: "You underestimated Shu's shamelessness. If it's unfair to Maya, I at least have a chance to give it a try. Maya has been in a heavy-duty prison since she was born. But the prison is her home, and there is a portal. , why didn’t it merge with the stone?”

Lin Mengdao: "Maybe she was born in a solitary cell, and before seven o'clock on the 2nd, she would be released back to her prison."

Lin Wu looked at Lin Meng in shock: "You are so vicious."

Lin Meng was about to cry but had no tears: "I'm just trying to find a reason for your vicious thoughts."

Lin Wu said: "Here he comes."

This time there were three of them, and Lin Wu decisively killed one with his pistol.

I kept working, drank some water and ate some biscuits in the middle. After an hour of hard work, I finally eliminated more than 30 zombies and opened the track line. Aren't there only a dozen zombies on the track? There is no way, the zombies on the platform will jump down when they find Xiao Wu.

Even so, the track is not safe and the zombies are too close to the platform. The three of them walked forward against the wall. Lin Wu was holding a silenced pistol, which was responsible for dealing with zombies who suddenly wanted to take a walk on the railway tracks. Lin Meng and Xiao Wu are equipped with assault rifles. Once the zombies are alarmed, they can only fight hard and run while fighting, hoping for good luck.

Halfway through the journey, a zombie fell from the platform and landed next to Xiao Wu. Behind Xiao Wu, Lin Wu pounced on the hungry tiger and executed him with a dagger. Although he had seen Lin Wu's performance, Xiao Wu could only look up to Lin Wu's unhesitating attack. You must know that according to Lin Wu's background, they had never really come into contact with zombies before.

After narrowly passing the railway track under the platform, the three of them high-fived each other and congratulated each other before heading to the fire station. Halfway through the walk, I saw a subway parked halfway. The lights inside the subway were still on, and I could clearly see that the entire subway was filled with zombies. Originally, the density of one zombie per square meter was already terrifying, but in the carriage, the density of zombies was as high as eight, maybe even ten, per square meter.

The broken glass in some carriages may have been caused by zombies in the process of assimilating humans. Since all humans have been assimilated and there are no new humans around, the zombies in the six carriages are very quiet. You squeezed me, and I squeezed you, with dull expressions and expressionless eyes. Most of the zombies are wearing suits. If you don't look carefully, it is difficult to tell whether they are white-collar workers on their way to work or zombies who have lost their souls.

There were also several zombies outside the carriage, perhaps the same kind that had been squeezed out of the window during the assimilation process. This is a monorail subway. After putting a train on the subway, there is very little room for movement on the left and right sides. The tunnel is a circle as a whole, with curved terrain on the left and right of the train.

Of course, this is not the case in all tunnels, but it was the case with this subway train. As for why it stopped here, there are many possibilities. Perhaps the driver discovered that there were many zombies at White Collar Station, so he turned to the fire station, or perhaps the subway dispatcher asked the driver to stop temporarily.

After weighing the situation, the three of them took a crawling position. To avoid making noise while climbing, deal with firearms and other issues first. Lin Wu led the team. After all, he still had to deal with two zombies. Lin Meng followed behind. Seeing Lin Wu's swaying buttocks, her mind twitched and she reached out to flick it. Then she realized that she had done something wrong and immediately Bow. Lin Wu turned around and glared at Lin Meng. Lin Meng looked innocent. This expression made Lin Wu a little unsure. Fortunately, Lin Meng knew that life and death were at stake and stopped being naughty. The three of them successfully passed another test.

Ten meters away from the front of the car, the system issued a mission: rescue survivors. There is a survivor hiding in the bathroom in subway car No. 3. If you bring her safely ten meters away from the train, you can get 2,000 mission points. Mission points can be used to generate missions.

Lin Meng and Lin Wu looked at each other, slapped their butts and left. Xiao Wu was confused. What did they mean by looking at each other? I always felt that Lin Wu concealed very important information in 90% of his honesty.

…

There were no zombies on the fire station platform. The three of them entered the hall. There were vending machines, shops, restrooms, etc. in the hall. There were two escalators up and down in the middle of the front, and two stairs on the left and right. The total length of the stairs was more than 30 meters.

In the hall, there were only three zombies near the stairs. There was a buffer platform in the middle of the two escalators. The alarm sounded continuously at the buffer platform. A large number of zombies were concentrated in the middle of the stairs and escalators, completely blocking the road.

Lin Wu and Xiao Wu looked at each other: There is a problem.

Lin Wu pointed out that KFC was surrounded by Lin Meng and Xiao Wu. As they approached the store, a woman happened to walk out of the store and was startled when she saw the two of them. Xiao Wu held a gun in his right hand and took out his ID from his coat pocket with four fingers of his left hand: "Police, who are you?"

This is a small gathering place for survivors. There are five people in total, three men and two women, who stayed here on the morning of the 2nd. One of them, a subway station repairman, maliciously created an alarm and gathered zombies in the middle of the stairs. The zombies in the hall are the unlucky ones who were squeezed down from the stairs.

Perhaps because of his quality, or perhaps because of the gun in Lin Wu's hand, the survivors were very polite and gave him freshly made cola. The current machine is not connected to tap water, but to large barrels of pure water, so there is no problem with the water quality.

As a representative, Xiao Wu discussed with the other party: "Can you let us go up?"

The woman said: "You can take the vertical elevator." The elevator is specially provided for people with disabilities. The elevator is near the restroom.

After a brief exchange and thanks, Lin Wu and the others were about to leave. The woman asked, "Do you have any extra guns for sale?"

The woman was wearing a casual suit, typical of successful women, and was very beautiful.

Lin Wu hesitated for 0.1 second and asked, "We can sell pistols, what do you have?" On the first day, Lin Wu got a pistol from the warehouse, Xiao Wu had his own gun, and Lin Meng had two pistols from the fortress. In addition, according to the agreement with Nightmare, Lin Wu also had two packs of pistols in his backpack.

The woman said: "I am in the frozen product business. I import frozen products from outside, and then process and package them. For example, we cut a chicken wing into two sections, one at the base of the wing and one in the middle. The business also involves what you eat every day. Hamburger meat, steaks, etc. My factory is on the outskirts of Beicheng."

Lin Wu shook his head: "The suburbs are now a relatively safe area. I believe your factory is gone."

"I know, but there are several cold storages in the suburbs of Xicheng. Among them, there is a small workshop cold storage hidden in the basement of a building." The woman explained: "We send the scraps to this workshop, crush and add them to make The feed is sold to breeding farms. In a sense, it is illegal. The inspection was stricter half a month ago, so I temporarily closed the workshop. But all the leftovers and frozen products are kept in the workshop's cold storage. "

Lin Wu was puzzled: "We can't go to the outskirts of the west city."

The woman thought for a while and took out her car keys: "My car is in the Mercury Building parking garage. It's not a parking space, it's an 800,000-dollar car in the parking garage."

Lin Wu said: "Beauty, the streets are full of cars."

The woman looked at the recliner massage shop on the side: "Or...can you exchange me for a gun?"

"What?" Lin Wu took a while to react and said hurriedly: "Forget it."

The person next to me also said: "Sister Li, forget it."

Lin Wu nodded apologetically and was about to leave. Sister Li stopped Lin Wu again: "My ex-husband is a doomsday preparation enthusiast. He has a property in the woods outside Dongjiao Town. I went there once and he was under construction at the time. It is said that they are digging the second underground floor. They have a doomsday preparation group, and everyone will stock up on radios, solar panels, and cans. He also bought a batch of food with a shelf life of more than 25 years."

"It's not important to us." My neighbors were collecting grain and I was stocking up on guns. I believe tens of thousands of residents evacuated to Dongjiao Town. Even your ex-wife knows that he is stockpiling supplies, and the workers, town residents, and people in the preparation group must also know. Now that something like this happens, just think about it in your mind and you will know that the doomsday shelter is the best place to survive.

Lin Meng looked at Sister Li's pleading and desperate eyes and bumped into Lin Wu. Lin Wu looked at Sister Li and said, "A pistol won't help you much."

Sister Li said: "The pistol is not used to kill zombies, but to defend against robbers. We have a lot of food and water, and we also thought of how to deal with the zombies coming downstairs after the alarm is damaged. But we have no ability to fight against external robbers."

Lin Wu asked: "Can you use a gun?"

Sister Li: "I have played in the shooting club for a few months and am quite familiar with it."

Lin Wu stretched out his hand, took the pistol from Lin Meng, removed the magazine and placed it on the table, then disassembled the pistol into several parts and placed it on the table, and said: "Let's go."

The people next to me were about to step forward to get their guns, but Sister Li quickly stopped them, bowed to Lin Wu and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Sister Li said: "My ex-husband's shelter is located three kilometers due north of the northern desert town."

"Thank you." Lin Wu nodded and walked toward the bathroom with Xiao Wu and Lin Meng. Xiao Wu and Lin Meng also nodded to everyone.

Walking near the restroom, Lin Wu and the others saw the vertical elevator. Lin Meng pressed the button to open the elevator door. Lin Wu walked out and said to Sister Li, who was more than ten meters away, at the corner, "Hi."

Sister Li looked at Lin Wu. Lin Wu put a spring connected to a small iron rod on the ground, then raised his hands to say goodbye, and entered the elevator with Xiao Wu and Lin Meng.

It’s Chinese New Year, Chinese New Year is over, there will be another update tomorrow, and updates are expected to resume around the seventh day of the lunar month.

Here I wish you all good fortune, all your wishes come true, good health to your family, and all the best.
