My Apocalypse Fortress Vehicle
185. Ordinary people’s survival in the doomsday
Together with Jia Sheng, we walked around the area a few times, but fortunately we found no other abnormalities. Apart from the dilapidation and the smell of corpses and an inexplicable fishy smell, there was nothing strange happening around the place.
The two turned around for the last time, and then returned to the 99A tank that was being decomposed.
Gu Zhuo stood still in front of the tank and said to Jia Sheng:
"Jia Sheng, there are some things I haven't asked you before, and now I want to ask you."
"What's up?"
"You were captured as a slave before. You must have experienced so many disasters before. Blood moon, heavy fog, heavy rain... I am very curious. You are all these disasters that can easily destroy mankind. How did you survive?”
Today's Octopus Head incident made Gu Zhuo somewhat fearful.
This made him realize that he and Chaoying had been in the Doomsday Fortress, being protected, and deliberately hiding away from humans. This makes them understand a lot less about monsters. We can only imagine what ordinary people experience.
If it weren't for entering the gym today, Gu Zhuo might never have had the chance to know that octopus heads can cause corpses to mutate.
Jia Sheng thought for a while and then answered him:
"In the Blood Moon incident, at least half of the people who captured me turned into monsters, as did those who were captured as slaves. The method they used at the beginning was flesh and blood sacrifice, did you know?"
"Flesh sacrifice?"
Gu Zhuo seemed to understand a little bit from the name, but he didn't dare to think too deeply.
"Yes, it's a flesh and blood sacrifice. As far as I know, this method is what most survivor teams use in order to survive at the beginning of the blood moon.
"The so-called flesh and blood sacrifice is to throw living people who have not mutated but have little use value into the monsters to attract their attention. Those monsters have very low IQs. Once they catch a living person, they will follow the beasts They all gather together and eat the living person. At this time, the remaining people can seize the time to escape."
Hearing this, Gu Zhuo clicked his tongue. Sure enough, ordinary people's survival in the apocalypse is much darker and more difficult than he imagined.
"What about the disasters that follow?"
"The blood moon was the most difficult one, but luckily I got through it later, and the monster's weakness was found in its throat. In order to find this weakness, almost all the slaves except me died. I'm lucky. I was originally going to be left as the last one by them as a bait, but they happened to find the monster's weakness at that time.
"I thought that after the blood moon passed, I would just focus on dealing with those monsters and looking for supplies. Who knew that this was just the beginning of all disasters."
Jia Sheng shook his head and recalled that difficult time. Every time he was on the edge of life and death, if he was a little careless or if his strength was a little weaker, he would not be alive until now.
He sighed and said:
"The heavy fog blocked the sunlight, and monsters swarmed out of the dark building. Even if we found their weaknesses, it would be difficult to solve so many at once.
"At that time, the bait method will be used, and a living person will be tied up with his hands with a rope and hung at a high place. In this way, those monsters will attack the bait at a high place like crazy, thus allowing the person at the high place to go down and towards the bait. Shoot them in their throats and destroy them.
"But with this method, the bait caught was either frightened to death, or the monster bit the leg and dragged it off. I almost became one of them at that time. It was only after I struggled desperately that I escaped. Tribulation.
"As for the rainstorm, it was really heavy, but fortunately nothing unusual happened. It was precisely because of the rain that the slave owner was delayed on the road for a day. Otherwise, I might not have met you, and I wouldn't have been able to sell it on the black market. Riots, riots, I've been sold."
Having said this, Jia Sheng sighed, his tone full of helplessness and sadness:
"There is no way. It is really difficult for ordinary people without superpowers to survive in the apocalypse. Every day is a knife-edge licking blood, and there is a possibility of death at any time.
"If you want to live safely, you either have to lose your humanity and form a gang with the same evil people, or you have to hide far enough and be strong enough to ensure your 100% safety. In comparison, the former is naturally more Simple.
"In the eyes of most people, human nature can be abandoned at any cost in order to survive."
Listening to what Jia Sheng said, Gu Zhuo realized more and more how lucky he was.
Jia Sheng is right. In desperate circumstances, human beings will do some things that violate moral ethics for the survival of themselves and the race.
This kind of thing is not uncommon. In ancient times, when human ancestors faced famine and were unable to migrate, they would brutally cannibalize themselves. This selfish gene is almost engraved in human DNA and cannot be erased.
Gu Zhuo is able to maintain a certain degree of humanity now because he has not encountered such a desperate situation.
Even though he worries about many things every day, he still has a guarantee and sustenance in his heart. As long as the Doomsday Fortress exists, at least on days like this, he is basically absolutely safe.
But what about ordinary people?
They may not have enough food to eat for several days, become homeless, and have their families destroyed. What's even more despairing is that while facing monsters and natural disasters, you also have to face similar people with distorted human nature.
Patting Jia Sheng's shoulder, Gu Zhuo sighed:
"I did make things difficult for you before. This bullshit life is really not what a human being should live."
Jia Sheng smiled broadly and answered him:
"Now that I have become your companion, isn't it the end of all the hardships? At least you don't have to worry as much as before, let alone worry about being sold all day long. You know, being sold as a slave may end up worse than the end of the world. Ordinary people struggling to survive are much worse off.”
Gu Zhuo was a little curious about the role of slaves and couldn't help asking:
"What can a slave do?"
"I won't say much about women. Male slaves like us, either do hard labor, cannon fodder, or serve as death squads. In short, there will be no good end."
Jia Sheng talked about the miserable conditions of some slaves he had witnessed with his own eyes. Some of them even became a pile of broken limbs the day after they were bought back. This is because most people who buy slaves only ask slave dealers to buy slaves when they are in an emergency.
Listening to Jia Sheng's story, Gu Zhuo felt a chill in his heart.
But in addition to how ordinary humans can survive in the apocalypse, what he wants to know more is something similar to the octopus head that can transform corpses into zombies. Only survivors who lick blood from the tip of a knife outside every day can get it. Known news.
Unfortunately, Jia Sheng didn't know much about this. All he knew was what the slave owners did to them.
After the two of them finished chatting about this heavy topic, they heard a "ding" sound in the mechanic's mind. It turned out that the 99A tank had been disassembled.
At this time, the tank had completely turned into a pile of materials, lying quietly on the ground, as if waiting for Gu Zhuo to take it away.
"Okay, I'm going to move this pile of materials to the car, and we'll go deeper into Qidong City, find the airport, and refuel your armed helicopter."
"good."
Jia Sheng nodded, and the two of them walked back to the Doomsday Fortress.
[Author's digression]: Today's update is a little late because I was revising the outline in the afternoon. The previous outline was not very good, so I basically overturned it and reworked it. Chapter 2 will be updated later
