Indescribable cyberpunk

Ouch~ow~

On the screen of the mobile phone, a little lynx with black and gray hair staggered towards the camera on the sofa with a pair of bright golden eyes, purring incessantly, and finally stumbled into a From the palm extended under the camera.

Turning over, rubbing his thumb with his forehead, squinting his eyes, his three tails swayed from side to side.

"Hey you have to wait for me!"

Zhu Jue looked at the little wind chime in the video, his eyes filled with memories.

Put the phone aside and turn on the computer. The lock screen password is no different from the door password.

During the five years that it was frozen in Greenland, it can be said that the world has undergone earth-shaking changes. Even Zhu Jue was unable to fully receive all kinds of information from the outside world for a while. He could only start with the information that he cared about first. Previously, he They had just reluctantly searched some things on the plane, and now he had to take a closer look.

First of all, we naturally start from Yecheng.

The day when Yecheng was destroyed five years ago was called the day of disaster whether on the Internet or in official documents or propaganda.

It was not a simple terrorist attack or a monster attacking the city. Putting aside the actual losses, from a purely historical perspective, the destruction of Yecheng undoubtedly shattered the appearance of peace that the federal government had maintained for nearly a hundred years.

They travel through the city.

They soar in the sky.

They announce the beginning of a new era!

In 2220, a huge sea monster appeared in the offshore waters of Tokyo, setting off a 100-meter-high tsunami. More than 700,000 people died in an instant. The floods caused by the disaster caused millions of casualties. In the same year, in the European city of Gomorland, a tsunami more than 20 meters high appeared. The terrifying giant appeared, along with the even more lethal wave of ghouls, and the whole city collapsed!

In 2221, an amorphous terrifying creature appeared in Greenland, crushing most of the city of Nuuk in just three days, leaving no more than 10,000 survivors on the island!

In 2222, a situation similar to Ye City occurred in a city in North America. Cultists summoned some kind of unspeakable special monster in the city. In a very short period of time, mental pollution spread rapidly, and one-fifth of the population mutated into Mental pollution source monster!

The disasters that have occurred in the past five years have exceeded the sum of the previous 50 years in terms of scope and intensity of harm!

However, in order to ensure that the public's mental problems will not arise as much as possible, these reports do not contain any pictures or audios, only paragraphs of extremely obscure text descriptions. This is the summary that Zhu Jue reluctantly saw in some forums after searching for a long time. .

Under the premise that huge crises have emerged all over the federation, the credibility of the federal government has inevitably declined at an alarming rate. In the end, due to its inability to restore the situation, a considerable number of regions in the federation have to "rescue themselves to survive" and "need a real A wave of demonstrations with slogans such as "a government that serves the people".

Of course, only a small part of these are real public demands, and more are driven by the financial oligarchs and top consortiums behind the scenes.

Skip what happens in the middle and go straight to the results.

This political wave that spread across the federation eventually ended with the federal government backing down and handing over control of some of the first-tier cities that were severely affected but were unable to be rescued by the federal government.

With the victory of the capital group, in order to gather the labor force to the maximum extent and improve the capital development space, it is said that it is to protect the people more conveniently.

But anyone with a little bit of brains knows that this is to facilitate exploitation.

First-tier cities in various continents controlled by monopoly consortiums began to expand continuously under the operation of huge capital groups. By annexing surrounding small and medium-sized cities and regions, they gradually developed into super-first-tier giant cities.

Shuguang City, where Zhu Jue is currently located, is one of the representative giant cities. As one of the few first-tier cities in Dongzhou that is still under the control of the federal government, it has a permanent population of nearly 50 million and an overall area of ​​nearly three Ye cities. size.

It's just that the original intention of establishing this city was not for exploitation, but a giant city proactively built by the federal government in response to the top consortium's plan to enclose land and people.

There is no doubt that the nature of living things is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

In order to obtain strong asylum, people have to choose to hand over money in a low profile or enter this urban life under certain terms.

They would rather wander in these giant cities than return to dangerous areas filled with monsters that are sources of mental pollution and beasts that have begun to mutate under the influence.

However, there are also so-called "urban dreams" and "elite era".

The general meaning is that as long as you have the ability, even if you were just a "wild dog" digging for food in a smelly ditch, you still have the opportunity to become a master, and you can get everything you want in this era!

When it comes to dangerous areas, we have to mention the Archaeological Association.

Zhu Jue noticed the development trend of the Archaeological Association from Rachel's words and deeds when he went to search for the scientific research station in Greenland. Today, five years later, this organization originally formed by scholars has become The authority of the entire federation to fight against the monster that is the source of mental pollution!

The currently recognized concept of danger zone is a regional assessment standard proposed and improved by the Archaeological Association:

Safe Zone: A city where the threat of mental pollution is minimized through strict hue value monitoring methods and well-trained troops doing everything possible to eliminate existing or potential monsters that are sources of mental pollution.

Basically, any giant city can meet this standard, but it is limited to threats from monsters that are sources of mental pollution.

Level C danger zone: A city where the number of monsters that cause mental pollution is small and people can maintain a normal life.

At present, most first- and second-tier cities except for giant cities are basically C-level dangerous areas, which are somewhat similar to the state of the outer city of Yecheng in the past. There are some monsters, but people's lives are still going on, so you just need to pay attention. Ensure the normal conduct of life.

Level B danger zone: There are many monsters that are sources of mental pollution, mainly mutants, and there may also be mutated beasts. People can only live in hiding.

Greenland is one of the typical B-level dangerous areas. The Shoggoths ran over it once and then disappeared, replaced by mutant monsters and mutated beasts running rampant.

Level A danger zone: An area where extremely dangerous monsters that are sources of mental pollution exist, making it difficult for humans to survive.

There are very few areas that can reach this rating, even on a global scale, you can count them clearly on your fingers, and Yecheng and Fangdoushan are among them.

"Hiss~"

Looking at the rows of web pages on the screen, Zhu Jue pinched his eyebrows and tilted his neck back to relieve the pain.

Although he had deliberately limited the search scope to the information he wanted, he was still inevitably surprised by all the things that had happened in these short five years.

The huge amount of information was a bit overwhelming for Zhu Jue. After all, he was not a machine, and there was a limit to how he could process information.

"Don't worry about this for now, we have to find a way to get to Yecheng first!"

Rubbing his cheeks with both hands and pouring half a glass of ice water into his mouth to cool his head, Zhu Jue was ready to put aside other things and focus all his attention on going to Yecheng to find wind chimes.

"How to get from Shuguang City to Ye City."

After entering this content into the search engine, the content pushed out made Zhu Jue frown.

At present, Shuguang City has no public transportation routes to Yecheng, and even transportation to its surrounding areas in Anqing Prefecture has been completely cut off.

After the disaster five years ago, although the federal government sent a large number of troops to suppress Yecheng in a short period of time, the disaster spread too quickly, causing the entire Yecheng to be occupied by monsters in a short period of time, and a huge number of sources of mental pollution. Monsters shuttled through every corner of the city, so that federal troops were inevitably dragged into street fighting.

By the time they thought of carrying out carpet bombing in the hope of saving the city, tens of thousands of mental pollution monsters had spread crazily to the surrounding areas of Anqing Prefecture, causing the guarding force in the Fangdoushan area to be completely defeated. What follows is the original monster in the different space joining the battlefield.

In other words, Yecheng and its surrounding areas are now one of the most dangerous places in Dongzhou. Both the intensity and density of monsters that are sources of mental pollution far exceed those in other areas.

Nowadays, let alone public transportation, even private teams have to avoid it.

But that was the place Zhu Jue had to go. Not only was the wind chime there, but three bags of gems that could be sold for a large price and the "Book of Dekian" were still lying in the safe as expected!

Since it can’t be reached by public transportation, find another way.

Self drive?

To search for the route from Shuguang City to Yecheng, using a car as a means of transportation, you need to pass through a large dangerous area, and the existing map is not updated in real time. Zhu Jue does not know the traffic conditions in these dangerous areas that are already in a semi-occupied state. Think about it and know that there may be road congestion or monsters blocking the way.

Or you can first get as close as possible through some existing transportation lines. It is best to shorten some of the distance, which not only saves time, but also avoids attacks from monsters.

"Passing transportation routes near Anqing Prefecture."

Using a different search method, Zhu Jue was not disappointed this time. He got a new feasible plan.

Fortress train!

The emergence of a large number of dangerous areas has led to the forced division of various regions, but it is naturally impossible for the people in various human cities to really not interact with each other, especially the transportation lines between giant cities must be guaranteed.

Because the passenger capacity of airplanes is too small, the construction of airports cannot be popularized, and ground transportation is bound to continue to exist. Therefore, at the same time that mega cities are beginning to be built, the fortress train plan is also put on the agenda.

The so-called fortress train, as the name suggests, is a train built like a fortress.

Covered by a full metal shell, it is equipped with a large number of fully automatic smart weapons, and is also equipped with an entire elite armed force of between 20 and 30 people.

The train information flashes on the screen, and what Zhu Jue values ​​​​is the transportation line from Shuguang City to Qianfan City. Along the way, it will pass through some cities in the C-level danger zone and make short stops. Among them, there are some cities far away from Anqing Prefecture. nearby cities.

His finger slid down the path on the screen and finally settled on a small black dot.

Target: Anling City!
