doomsday lamb

One thousand six hundred kilometers north from Zhanzhou Port is the Langya City base located in Fengwei Mountain, Shashi, Dongshan Province.

In the base council hall, Lang Hua was holding two summonses in his hands.

The first message was an invitation, which contained only one short sentence: "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, at the Qinchuan Base in Gan Province, we sincerely invite the Lord of Langya City to attend the meeting to discuss the clan's plans."

The second one was a briefing compiled by Fu Lianhe of the Ministry of Information. The content roughly stated that the Guangdong Province's Hong Kong troops had repelled the beast tide and had made some gains in the battle for Jiaorong cores. However, the number, grade and quality of the cores obtained were

The purpose is unknown.

When these two pieces of news were received, a short meeting had just been held in Langya City. When people saw the deputy city master closing his eyes and thinking after reading the message, they closed the door and quietly left.

Lang Hua is indeed thinking. To be precise, he is recalling and comparing information from the past and present lives.

The first thing is nothing. It should be said that Lang Yacheng's invitation to participate in the meeting was already within Lang Hua's expectation.

Looking back on his previous life, Lang Hua remembered that such a meeting was held at the beginning of the second year of the end of the world, and the major base lords in the East Asian theater were invited in the name of the coalition government. As for the other big state bases, they participated in the meeting through remote video.

Except for this invitation, everyone can see the details of this meeting on the public channel of the FS community, so it is not a secret. The global conference in the previous life focused on the origin, development and response of humankind to this disaster.

Countermeasures taken. Lang Hua glanced at the webpage a few times not long ago and found no difference from his previous life.

Except for one thing, no one invited Langya City in the previous life.

Of course, this sentence is a false proposition. Because at that time, Langya City was still a black-hearted base where Chao Sandao was dominating. There were not even a thousand but eight hundred privately built small and medium-sized shelters in the country.

, naturally will not be seen by many big shots.

The reason why Langya City was invited to the list was just because of its reputation for the previous Black Corpse Siege. Lang Hua planned for several months, and eight thousand people shed their blood and sacrificed their lives. After all the effort, it was just for the wolf.

Yacheng earned this ticket, nothing more.

Otherwise, a "mud-legged" base like Langya City, which has no military, political or commercial influence, has poor equipment and a small population. It is estimated that no one will pay attention to it if it is quietly destroyed one day, let alone have the opportunity to participate in a battle that can have an impact.

An international conference on the pattern of the end times.

As for the second incident, it involved the tide of black beasts.

From the perspective of a person in the future, Lang Hua knows that the tens of thousands of black beasts that appear along the coast of the port city are just the tip of the iceberg. The real beast tide will come sooner or later, but it is not yet now.

In his previous life, Lang Hua didn't know what was happening along the coast of the port city 1,600 kilometers away.

At that time, he had not joined the army, but in the third year of the end of the world, the beast disaster had become more and more serious. Lang Hua heard people talk about it when he went out to fight with the army. As early as the beginning of the second year of the end of the world, the Hong Kong City Base had issued a solemn warning to all parts of the world to be vigilant.

Black beasts are causing chaos.

However, the coalition government at that time was deeply troubled by the "Human Corpse War" that was spreading around the world. The matter was temporarily suppressed and ignored, and therefore gradually disappeared.

Thinking about it now, maybe this can be an opportunity for Lang Hua to make a move on the plate.

…

Recently, many members of the base management committee have been away from the city, so the four-story building of the city lord's mansion is often as empty and silent as it is now.

Lang Hua propped up his arms and leaned sideways on the Grand Master's chair in the parliament hall. His legs were shaking and his eyes were almost narrowed into two thin lines.

Before Yang Bensheng led the team out of the city, there was a secret conversation between the two of them.

The reason was that after the siege, the base management committee spent a lot of manpower and material resources searching for the remains of the Corpse King, but they only found the big-headed Corpse King with half of its head missing.

As for the "mutant" corpse king who looked exactly like "Xing Lili", had the ability to "mind control", and controlled this tide of millions of corpses behind the scenes, his body was never found. People dug deep and rummaged through the ground.

After searching every corner of the battlefield, only half of the gray robe was found, which had been burnt into palm-sized fragments.

Evolved creatures have reached the fourth level, and in battles at the same level, the body is not so easy to annihilate. Although Yang Bensheng's stunt "Gathering Power" that day was amazingly powerful, Lang Hua still didn't believe that they would break off a piece of limbs.

None can be found.

The only possibility, and the possibility that Lang Hua never wanted to believe, is that this mutated zombie king escaped and survived using extremely special means. Cutting the grass but unable to remove the roots, Lang Hua only felt a sharp and cold thorn hanging on it.

behind.

He concealed this matter, whether it was from Yang Xiaoxiao or Xing Wutian who was kept in the dark. Perhaps for these two people, the price they have to bear to know the truth is greater than Lang Hua imagined.

Much more. As for Lang Hua now, he still doesn't know how to explain this bizarre incident.

After all, everyone's knowledge of this apocalypse, regardless of past or present life, is extremely limited.

Lang Hua hoped that he had seen it wrong that day.

A similar-looking zombie monster arrived.

Lang Hua also hoped that his judgment was wrong. In fact, the cunning and difficult mutant corpse king had already turned into ashes under Uncle Yang's range attack and escaped into reincarnation.

"call……"

Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Lang Huashu opened his eyebrows and sat up from the chair with great effort.

He stood up and stretched his muscles. Taking the note on the table, Lang Hua planned to go to the back mountain for a long-lost visit, or to do a small business.

The base council hall is located on the second floor of the city lord's palace. After walking down the stairs and passing through the service hall, Lang Hua came to the square in the inner city.

The stars are sparse at night, and the entrance to the city tower is brightly lit. From here, you can see Zheng Yueying leading a few clerks from the registration office to set up seven or eight tables, and methodically carry out the work of accepting a new wave of refugees.

In an invisible place farther away, when the people of Langya City were repairing the defense line of the outer city star castle, they preserved a section of the city wall covered with a mixture of blood and flesh. This shocking blood wall city wall will become the future of Langya City.

A landmark building to commemorate the great victory of the first black corpse siege in the history of humankind.

For those who unfortunately died in battle, the Logistics Department compared the previous registration lists and carved all their names on stone tablets to comfort the spirits of the victims in heaven.

As for the people of Langya City who survived the war, Lang Hua fulfilled the promise he made. After the war, everyone's past was wiped out, and all those who survived were automatically converted to "first-class citizens" status, and now they lead the highest level.

With good welfare benefits, they were assigned to work at all levels of the base.

A group of old barracks under the city wall have been demolished. Based on the lessons learned last time, the city lord's palace stipulated that only core members can live in the inner city. The reason is that the inner city has many key facilities and it is not suitable to move around casually even if people are allowed to live there.

.

As for others, they can choose to move to any residential area in the outer city. Not only are rent, water and electricity free, but the management committee will also provide a batch of daily necessities as rewards...

The registration office worked very quickly, and it didn't take long for a group of thirty refugees to complete the registration and a series of inspections.

Led by a team of city defense troops, they turned back to the outer city. There they would receive a month of military training, and then they would voluntarily choose to join the army or become other types of workers and return to various strongholds in Shashi.

The city defense army rescued many survivors like this during the process of recovering the city after the war.

Most of them hide in the city's sewer system, competing with mutated rats for food and living space. Knowing that there are still only a few smart people hiding in community security basements, many people who have a glimmer of hope for government rescue ignore radio warnings.

, staying nearby among the rows of tall buildings.

In the following months, they either died outside while looking for food, starved to death inside the building, or froze to death on the roof of the building. Many even killed each other before they died.

They eat each other, so they generally die in extremely miserable conditions

There are also some people who are lucky enough to stay in restaurants or large supermarkets, or families who are accustomed to buying large quantities of New Year's goods in the middle of winter. They rely on sufficient food reserves, live frugally, and save money to survive until the day they are saved.

The people of Shashi were undoubtedly lucky, because they lasted until the moment when Langya City's army returned to support the city. But in other corners of the world, such good luck is not always available.

Regardless of large, medium or small, few cities can be liberated like Shashi in the early years of the end of the world. Compared with those cities at the same level that are still suffering from millions of black corpses, the fate of Shashi was settled when the dust of the siege settled.

It was changed in one day.

According to the continuous statistics of the Logistics Department, many survivors were rescued from Shashi after the war. The population under the jurisdiction of Langya City soon returned to the 8,000 mark, and there is a trend of further increase.

But Lang Hua didn't want to keep too many people at Fengwei Mountain Base this time.

These people are a rare labor force in the end of the world. According to him, it is best to let them resettle in Shashi and restore the production capacity of factories in various places. After obtaining the necessary weapons, they will return to Shashi to live, and it will become

The rear area of ​​Langya City has become a small capital for Langya City to struggle for survival in the apocalypse.

By the way, after the war, the secretariat where Duan Qing worked also improved the previously immature military merit system.

For war preparation materials, Langya City will implement a parallel open system of public and private ownership in the future. The Ministry of Information will establish a personal network file for each survivor on the central computer of the city lord's mansion to record the points earned by each person in Langya City.

The army, garrison team, and search team at all levels in the city use military merit as the criterion for promotion. The more military merits and the higher the military rank, the more privileges and preferential treatment you can enjoy, including but not limited to new weapons and priority distribution of new medicines.

, qualifications to purchase military supplies with stronger firepower and lower prices.

For those who are unwilling to join the army, after hunting for crystal cores and collecting materials through spontaneous battles, they can also obtain the city by selling crystal cores and materials to the base.

integral.

There are two key data points in the network system of Langya City. One is the existing points, which are used for consumption. The other is the total accumulated points since registration, which is similar to a symbol of military merit.

The existing points are the common currency in Langya City, and they continue to increase and decrease during the sale and consumption process. The total points are the standard for measuring a person's contribution to the base, and their effectiveness is equivalent to military merit. The higher the score, the faster the promotion.

The greater the discount you get during official transactions.

This idea coincides with the port city thousands of kilometers away.

In fact, the person who first proposed this system was not Duan Qing, but Lang Hua. It was not that some heroes had the same idea. Only in the previous life, the first person to do this was the Jiuge Mountain Travel in Hong Kong City. At this time, he was just

It's just picking up people's wisdom.

With chaotic plans in his head, Lang Hua took two steps and three steps, walking like a streetwalker. Not long after, the back mountain was already in front of him.

He didn't come here to see Zhang Cheng this time. Although he always came here every three days some time ago, it was for official business, and the past few days have been a bit special.

Not long ago, Company Commander Li Yishan of the Southern Qi Military Region asked someone to send Zhang Cheng a message. He said that the two soldiers who had been arranged to escort the survivors had not returned to the team, and it seemed that something unexpected had happened.

Lang Hua learned that the survivor An Ran was actually Zhang Cheng's female companion during the disaster, and she was someone with whom she had experienced life, death, and hardships.

Having stayed on the battlefield for thirteen years in his previous life, Lang Hua can best understand this feeling and Zhang Cheng's low mood these past two days.

The considerate Dean Chen Xinyan naturally saw that now was not the time for fun. But he still had to be sulky, and he couldn't be so angry that he was so angry. So at this moment, Lang Hua, who was used to not knocking when he came in, obviously became

A good object to vent your grievances to.

"What should come doesn't come, and what shouldn't come comes every day, really."

It was late at night, but the biology laboratory was still brightly lit. In front of the experimental table, Chen Xinyan, who was wearing a white coat, pinched her waist and said to Lang Hua angrily: "Do you hear me buying tickets next time?"

"Sister Xinyan~ You are so heartless~" Lang Hua acted like a delicate princess, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, look, Brother Zhang has no time to accompany you, why are you so sad? I am not there

Are you here~"

"Go away, stay away from me." Chen Xinyan sidled away from Lang Hua, then crossed her arms with a look of disgust on her face, "Your little girlfriend is not here, why are you showing off to me?"

"Woooooooo..."

"Get out, get out. If you don't get out, I'll do it."

After chatting for a while, Lang Hua casually took out a neatly folded piece of white paper, waved it in front of Chen Xinyan's eyes and placed it on the experimental table.

"Here, let's take a look."

"What is it?" Chen Xinyan's eyebrows moved, "I don't want to look at strange things."

"Okay, I asked knowingly. I promise there will be no conditions this time, okay?"

Staring at Lang Hua angrily, Chen Xinyan grabbed the paper, opened it hurriedly, and read it word by word in front of her face.

"The beast disaster in the Chen family has been resolved. The news just came in the evening." Lang Hua said softly from the side.

He noticed that Chen Xinyan's face relaxed obviously after reading it once, and then she tightened her face and read it again carefully. After confirming that there was no problem, she held the note tightly in her hand.

Chen Xinyan warned Lang Hua with a straight face: "Next time something like this happens, just say it through the communicator. Do you understand that you are running too slow?"

Lang Hua rolled his eyes when he heard this.

Xiami? I am a dignified mid-level fourth-level esper and one of the best masters in Langya City in Fengwei Mountain. I am working as an errand boy for nothing, but you are still too slow?

Is this requirement a bit too high?

"I……"

Just as Lang Hua was about to argue a few words, he was violently interrupted by Chen Xinyan and kicked out.

While pushing back, he lowered his eyebrows and lectured Lang Hua inconsistently: "How big are you! Get out quickly. This is my laboratory, no, this is a girl's private space, do you understand?"

Huh? This laboratory obviously also has him as the deputy city leader, okay?

Lang Hua, who was pushed out of the door and driven away, could not recover for a long time.

The air was cool on a winter night, and when a small breeze blew, Lang Hua couldn't help but shiver.

Finally, he finally figured it out. Was he afraid that the news would be delayed, or was he afraid that others would see him lose his composure?

"Why bother? Life is so tiring..." Lang Hua sighed and walked away.

I don’t know how long it took, but a dull explosion quietly appeared. A huge fireworks suddenly bloomed in the sky above Langya City. After one blast, there were two, three, seven or eight blasts, and the gorgeous brilliance splashed everywhere.

Light up the sky in winter nights frequently.

The thin black mist surged with the wind, and the little bits of light passed through it, instantly reflecting in the eyes of every city defense soldier or refugee who looked up.

Late at night has arrived, and the Spring Festival has arrived.

Amidst the laughter and laughter, the second year of the end of the world slowly arrived.
