Darkness is Coming

  In the Zero Point Bar, Hou Jie, who has been in contact with the outside world, has a general understanding of the current situation in Yuanjiang through conversations with Cheng Xu and others.

Jiang Haichao expanded the Mechanized Infantry Brigade into the 258th Infantry Division after he succeeded the 258th Brigade Commander, and built the Yuanjiang Great Wall, which was a huge project. Jiang included. Because the construction period is only two months, the height and hardness of the wall are still insufficient, but it is more than enough to resist ordinary zombies, and now Xinyuanjiang is still building new walls.

   Of course, Xinyuanjiang, with its walls and powerful army, became the first choice for survivors to defect to. Now the population of Xinyuanjiang has exceeded the 200,000 mark.

   This number is not much, not much, and it depends on how to compare. Half a year ago, Yuanjiang was a quasi-first-tier city with millions of permanent residents, but now only hundreds of thousands have died, which is not a lot. But looking at the safe area delineated by the Xinyuanjiang wall, it is too difficult to squeeze out 100,000 residents and one 258th division, and this number appears to be too much.

   Not long ago, Xinyuanjiang had ordered to refuse to accept refugees-unless you have skills, or are strong and willing to join the army. The resentment was full of complaints, saying that if Brigadier Zhao was still there, he would definitely not be as cold-blooded as Jiang Haichao.

Of course, the people in Xinyuanjiang City are unhappy and unhappy. As the vested interests who have stayed in the safe area, they cannot really fight against the 258th Division that rules Xinyuanjiang for the refugees outside who want to enter the city but cannot. , and the refugees who could not enter outside the surrounding city were driven out, either trying to find a way to come to Jiangxin Island, or staying near the Xinyuan River.

   In front of the corpse, the commander-in-chief, Liu Yuanzhou, commander Liu soon sent people to several places outside Xinyuanjiang City where refugees gathered to build bunkers and towers, gradually forming small settlements similar to acropolis and outposts.

Of course, such small settlements are not only found near the Xinyuan River. According to Cheng Xu, many people in the original 258 Brigade could not accept Jiang Haichao's order to disregard the safety of the people's lives, and led the team to leave the 258 Brigade and go to the They went further afield to establish survivor settlements to help those refugees who were too far from Xinyuan River or who were not accepted by Xinyuan River.

   And those places where the survivors live is where the corpse hunters like Cheng Xu often go. Because there are no zombies near the Xinyuanjiang River and the immigration office set up by the Yuanjiao Society at the port, and no mutants who can't open their eyes dare to come and seek death. The black and gray areas on the map, so those small settlements far from the two major forces became the transit points for the corpse hunters to settle down.

At first those corpse hunters were not popular, but soon people in those small settlements discovered that the arrival of corpse hunters not only rapidly reduced the number of nearby mutants and zombies, but also brought all kinds of novelties to exchange with them. Supplies, or bring all kinds of supplies to exchange with them for things they don't need, so the corpse hunters have become the most popular guests in the camps.

The leaders of those small settlements did not dare to have any opinion on the backstage of the corpse hunters—the Far Rescue Association and the front finger of the corpse. More and more people have found a way to survive and get out of the poverty line of not having enough food and clothing. They have no reason to resist the corpse hunters.

   And what made all this happen is the second largest force in Yuanjiang right now: Yuanjiao Society!

  In the situation where the main combat power was almost completely destroyed by the international trade, Yuanjiuhui rose up in the disaster, refused the olive branch of the 258th Division, and resolved the difficulties and anger of Teacher Jiang again and again, and finally grew into a behemoth that rivals its division.

  During this process, Yuanjiu Association not only made Jiangxin Island peaceful and prosperous, but also developed and expanded itself, and promoted various measures that Hou Jie could not have imagined, benefiting the survivors in other parts of Yuanjiang.

   How many **** storms, conspiracies and intrigues are involved, Hou Jie does not know, nor can he imagine.

   But there is one thing that Hou Jie is sure of. The person who can accomplish such a great thing must be a cunning, cunning, wily, and long-sighted old fox.

   However, according to the usual practice since going ashore, Hou Jie was once again slapped in the face by the facts.

   Looking at the young man sitting behind the desk who looked like he was not in his twenties, Hou Jie suddenly felt that he had lived in vain for more than 20 years.

   At this moment, Hou Jie saw that the other party raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes as sharp as a knife seemed to penetrate into his soul, Hou Jie felt cold all over, as if he had taken off his clothes and stood in the wind, all the secrets were unobstructed.

   "Why did you come to me?"

"what?"

Sure enough, nothing on Jiangxin Island is in line with common sense. Hou Jie didn't have time to introduce himself, and the other party didn't ask "who are you", "why are you making trouble in such a dangerous place in the exhibition hall" or "you Do you know how much crime you have committed?" The question, "Why did you come to me?", made Hou Jie puzzled.

Quickly glanced at the documents on the desk, Hou Jie saw the content written on it clearly, and couldn't help being horrified. The pieces of A4 paper were printed with all the information related to Hou Jie, height, weight, appearance, by. Who brought the case, where he registered, where he went, and what he ate, all he had to do was write down clearly, he only had to take off his pants and record the color of his underwear.

   Cold sweat climbed up his back, and Hou Jie couldn't control the twitching of the corners of his eyes.

   "I'll give you a minute to explain to me your purpose. In order to save your own life, you'd better attach a reason for me to forgive you."

Although this line sounded familiar, like the usual words of villains in movies and TV series, Hou Jie's pale face didn't show any smile. He could feel that the other party was not joking with him, because while speaking, the The president also turned the hourglass on the table over, and the small sand particles rushed down quickly, forming a long line. Looking at the speed of their falling, it just finished falling in one minute.

"How can I finish what Mr. Qiu wants me to say in one minute? Hearing so many people talking about this President Yang, they thought he was an elegant and generous person. Threatening me like this? Why don't you just put him first..." Hou Jie thought as he took a step forward.

   I never imagined that the president of the Yuanjiu Society would interrogate him so casually, without even bringing a single bodyguard. Now as long as they can take the other party as a hostage, won't the Yuanjiu Society be at their own mercy?

   "Don't kill him."

  Hou Jie just wanted to jump, when he heard these three words, he froze in place with his knees bent. He knew that this was not meant for him, because he had already felt the coldness on his neck, as long as he dared to move, he would die. Now he finally understood why Xu Le looked at him with the idiot-like eyes he had just outside the door.

"You have so many ways to see me, but you chose the stupidest one." Yang Xiaoqian smiled, if it wasn't for the fact that the person in front of him had a secret that he was very interested in, he would already be a cold corpse .

   "Now you only have one way to save your life, I hope you don't make another stupid, forty-five seconds."

   The last countdown made the cold sweat on Hou Jie's forehead slide down his eyebrows to the corners of his eyes, brushed his eyelashes, and dripped down. It was very itchy, but he didn't dare to blink.
