Darkness is Coming

  Xinyuanjiang's long and magnificent city wall is known as "the Great Wall of Yuanjiang", but this Great Wall cannot protect all Yuanjiang people. For example, those who live outside Xinyuanjiang City cannot enjoy the comfortable and comfortable life within the walls, and worry every day whether a zombie or mutant will suddenly emerge from a corner.

  Fortunately, these days of anxiety did not last long, and the soldiers who pointed to the corpse came outside the city to help them build the bunker and clear the house.

Because the location of Xinyuanjiang is from the former courtyard to the memorial tower, and there are many residential areas nearby, people outside the city do not need to rebuild their houses. They only need to clean up the original residential buildings, disinfect and quarantine, and then they can live again. .

   It was changed half a year ago. Not many people would like to live in a house like this, but now no one is hypocritical. Living in such a residential building is more comfortable than the crowded Xinyuanjiang. Of course, this does not mean that people outside the city are happier than those in the city.

As the outer city of Xinyuanjiang, everything in the outer settlements serves Xinyuanjiang, and unlike in the city, the residential buildings outside the city have no water, electricity and no gas supply, and any items including food, drinking water, and daily necessities are It needs to be allocated, but the quota is too small. The food allocated every day is barely enough for one meal. At most, people will not starve to death, and the drinking water allocated is less, only half a bottle per person per day, and a part of washing has to be left- You can leave your face unwashed, your hair unwashed, and you can leave your teeth unwashed, but you must wash your teeth, otherwise, once you have oral disease, you don’t need to expect a doctor to prescribe medicine for you.

   Therefore, most people spend most of their time in hunger and thirst, and many of them dare to go out to try their luck. Of course, there are policies on the top and countermeasures on the bottom. Many people learn to be smart after suffering two losses. They hide the found materials in a fixed safe place, and take out a small part of the food they use every time they go out. And water, solve it on the spot, and then return to the settlement empty-handed, you don't have to hand in anything, and you don't have to roam outside like a headless fly, there is not much danger.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that such a small gesture cannot be concealed from Commander Liu's eyes, but the soldiers who pointed to the front of the corpse always pretend to be ignorant, and never ask questions, so everyone knows that Commander Liu is in harmony with him. Like the late Brigadier Zhao, he loved the people like a son, unlike the **** Jiang Haichao.

   This is evident from the location where the front finger of the corpse is stationed.

The corpse front refers to the station on the edge of the outer city. If there is a wave of corpses, the first time to face the zombies and mutants is the respectable officers and soldiers of the corpse, and they will seek precious evacuation for the people in the rear. time.

   At this time, Geng Zhiping was holding a red river in his mouth, standing in front of the corpse and pointing to the outside of the building, looking around, cursing. The fact that his swearing can make the cigarette in his mouth as steady as Mount Tai is admirable.

   Qi Lie, who had just walked out of the door to breathe, saw Geng Zhiping's ruffian appearance, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes with laughter. Three months ago, during the World War I, the entire front finger to the corpse was almost destroyed, and all of Geng Zhiping's old subordinates were unable to return. Geng Zhiping, who had not participated in the war at that time and heard the bad news afterward, was unable to recover for a long time. After such a long time, Qi Lie was inexplicably happy to see Geng Zhiping scolding the street again.

   "Team Geng, what's the matter?" Qi Lie patted Geng Zhiping on the shoulder from behind.

Geng Zhiping turned his head, saw Qi Lie's face full of stubble, took out a cigarette case and threw him a cigarette, and then scolded: "That rune research group, at the beginning, it was hype and deceived. I don’t know how much research funding is needed, so I need to eat, drink, live, and live well. It’s been half a year now, and I haven’t researched a single one. It all depends on others sending us materials like charity. Yesterday, I finally heard about the new results of the research, let today Come to report, it's all this time, and there's not a single person in sight. You said this... Hey, smoke slowly, it's not easy to find cigarettes now."

  Qi Lie snapped his fingers, causing the cigarette to ignite spontaneously on his lips. He took a nice sip and said with a smile, "Old Geng, Xiaoxiaohuo, they are not soldiers. It's not surprising that the concept of time is almost there."

"Heh, stop talking nonsense without oil or salt." Geng Zhiping scolded people who didn't recognize the six relatives, and whoever was arrested and scolded whoever, Qi Lie just opened his mouth and he immediately turned the fire, "You are not much better, you are all the same age. The people who are still doing some unethical things with Yang Xiaoqian’s gang, what kind of zombie hunter guild, thank you for thinking about it.”

   Qi Lie smiled awkwardly, and covered his collar with the badge dedicated to the S-rank corpse hunter.

   The front finger of the corpse also spent a lot of effort in the birth of the corpse hunter profession. Many people, including Qi Lie, the former captain of the former falcon team, are zombie hunters who have registered in the No. 1 Fortress.

   Now the position of the captain of the Falcon Squad is entrusted to Qi Lie's nephew Qi Xinwu, because Qi Xinwu is calmer in the face of the battle situation, and his ability is more effective in cooperating with the heavy firearms armed forces. Qi Lie broke away from Falcon and formed the "Ash" corpse hunting team.

   In the entire corpse hunter circle, there are only four teams that have obtained the S-level evaluation: Dawn, Judgment, Falcon, Ashes, in no particular order. These four teams are not only well-known to the corpse hunters, but also enjoy a great reputation outside the circle. And Qi Lie, my uncle and nephew, held half of the wall in their hands. Their power was so powerful that even Wang Li, the vice president of the Yuanjian Rescue Association, and Chang Sheng, the deputy commander of the 258 Division, had to be polite when they met the Qi family. , and only Geng Zhiping, who was not afraid of the sky and earth, would speak to Qi Lie in such a tone.

   However, Qi Lie was familiar with Geng Zhiping's temper, and they were considered comrades-in-arms who had fought side by side for several months, so naturally they would not argue with Geng Zhiping.

   Seeing that Qi Lie did not reply, Geng Zhiping continued to speak, but a young soldier who came running stopped him, and after salute, handed a letter to him.

   "Report! A letter from Yang Xiaoqian, president of the Far Rescue Society."

Geng Zhiping took the envelope in his hand and looked at it a few times, and when he saw that it was written: "In front of the corpse, I pointed to Commander Liu personally, but he didn't open it, and he turned his hand and stuffed it back, "Send it to the orderly, and let it be delivered to Commander Liu. "

   "You said this Yang Xiaoqian, you don't need to have a phone, you have to write letters, and make some false claims all day long." Geng Zhiping sneered and shook his head.

Qi Lie couldn't agree with this. He didn't deal with Yuanjiu Club once or twice. He knew that this "civil organization" was not easy, and it was even more difficult for Yang Xiaoqian to be able to bring such a force in a short period of time. , Even my nephew Qi Xinwu, who has been smart since childhood and has eyes above the top, feels ashamed whenever he talks about Yang Xiaoqian.

"Telephones and radios may be monitored. Only by writing a letter can we ensure that the secret will not be leaked." Qi Lie exhaled a large puff of smoke, and continued, "It is estimated that no one can see the name of this letter when you open it, only Only Commander Liu can understand the real meaning. It's like those codes in spy movies."

   Although Geng Zhiping has always had opinions on Yang Xiaoqian and Yuan Jiu who refused to merge into the front finger, he was not a very unreasonable person. After listening to Qi Lie's analysis, he nodded and admitted that it was indeed possible.

   After another cigarette, Professor Dai, who was wearing a cotton padded jacket and covered his gray hair with a velvet cap, appeared in sight with two assistants and hurried over.

   Geng Zhiping looked at Professor Dai's tired face and bloodshot eyes, and the words of rebuke and complaint were stuck in his throat and could not be uttered. He led a few people into the building in a muffled voice and walked towards Liu Yuanzhou's office.
