Chapter 509 Modern Settlement

After coming out of the double iron gates of Neverland Manor, everything was as usual at home, and the mutant creature that Wu Xiang arranged to guard his villa did not convey any abnormal information.

It was mainly the Black Shadow Rat who was the scout. If someone really came to visit or deliberately invaded Wu Xiang's home, even if Wu Xiang was still on the planet Neverland, he could still receive the message from the Black Shadow Rat.

Wu Xiang came up from the basement, tidied up a little at home, and then simply drove the car and went for a ride in the city.

Although Wu Xiang has come to this large settlement since the Qingdao settlement was not fully established, so far, he has not really browsed the geographical features of this settlement city.

The entire Qingdao settlement is now surrounded by a huge wall, forming a city with a city wall, and even the settlement has plans to dig a moat outside the city wall.

After all, in this post-apocalyptic world, cities are no longer undefended cities, but may face attacks from mutant creatures and zombies at any time, and city walls and moats are facilities that can effectively prevent all invading forces from raging and give one's own counterattack position.

For all large settlements, the two most basic building facilities will be city walls and moats, followed by some ground-to-air defense weapons arranged on and within the city walls.

The Qingdao settlement is currently divided into five living areas: the core, the inner ring, the outer ring, the inner ring, and the outer ring.

Those who can live in the inner area already have a certain status. Most survivors and adventurers live in the living area outside the territory.

As for the outer and inner rings, and even the core living areas that are listed as the safest and most detached, they are not affordable for ordinary people.

Wu Xiang's ex-girlfriend, Xiao Tang, also came to the settlement with Wu Xiang when the settlement in Qingdao was not completely recovered. It was arranged by Man Ningtao, a small non-commissioned officer who was lucky to join the military. Only those who are eligible to live in the gap between the inner ring and the outer ring, but now, with the help of Man Ningtao, Xiao Tang and Liu Yuxiang's mother and daughter are also arranged to live in five living areas after the Qingdao settlement is officially divided into five living areas. In the living area of ​​the inner ring, the living area of ​​the outer ring is not even covered.

As a survivor, Xiao Tang didn't have the courage to be an adventurer, so she also applied for a job and worked in a food processing company.

Wu Xiang just inquired about Xiao Tang's situation. After all, even if they broke up, Wu Xiang and Xiao Tang still had a relationship before.

And most importantly,

Wu Xiang and Xiao Tang broke up only in the last brain universe and the current cataclysmic world, but in the real reality, the reality that Wu Xiang always wanted to wake up, they may not have broken up yet.

As for what is going on, Wu Xiang will only know when he really wakes up and returns to reality.

The settlement in Qingdao has completely restored the appearance of a modern city. The streets are full of traffic and pedestrians.

It's just that even if the Qingdao settlement has opened up the Internet and wired telephones, it is limited to the urban local area network created by the Qingdao settlement, but there is no way to connect with other cities and settlements in Longguo.

Wu Xiang drove along the street, from the core circle, to the inner ring, outer ring, inner ring, outer ring, and finally to the outermost city wall area.

The total distance is 125 kilometers, and if the entire distance is straightened, it is also 71 kilometers.

The area of ​​the city wall, away from the entrance and exit passages of the city wall, and the area next to the city wall, is also occupied by those survivors of poor attributes.

The reason why it is said to be poor is that it refers to those who do not have the courage to go out to hunt mutant creatures and zombies, lack skills, cannot find suitable jobs, or are simply lazy by nature and just dawdle.

Such a person, can you say that he is not a poor person?

In peacetime, even people who are just eating and waiting to die will have the opportunity to receive sympathy or relief from the state, but in this end-time era, who cares about whom?

If you do not have a skill, and this skill happens to be needed by a certain factory of a certain company, it is absolutely impossible for you to be hired.

Therefore, more and more people who have no work and do not want to work gradually gather in the city wall area, and a gathering point of a slum area is gradually formed here.

In fact, the formation of the slums is not slow. In just half a month, before the management of the settlements had time to respond, the slums had already formed.

Even if the settlement is humanitarian, it is planned to help the people gathered in the city wall area to re-arrange a resettlement site, and help them arrange jobs by the way, and there are too many people who are unwilling to leave the slums that have formed in this sense.

It seems that only in this place do these people feel safe and free.

There are several parts of the current city wall area, and almost every section of the city wall forms a gathering place for hundreds of people. When those sections of the city wall area are connected together, it may be a poor area where thousands or even tens of thousands gather. It really took shape.

Wu Xiang drove the car, passed the city wall area slowly, and arrived at the gate of the city.

The Qingdao settlements are surrounded by connected city walls, totaling 379 kilometers, with 19 entrances and exits.

However, only four city gates are currently open, and the remaining fifteen city gates are currently closed.

The city gate that Wu Xiang came to was the gate with the most in and out traffic, and it was also the gate through which the Jinling military convoy entered.

Of course, when Wu Xiang left the settlement in Qingdao, he would often go through this city gate.

At the city gate, there is a team of soldiers guarding, beside the city gate, there is also an office, and on the city wall, there is a watchtower.

In the air, there are drones hovering, monitoring and detecting every move around the 24 hours.

There are many convoys of adventurers entering and exiting the city gates. Most of the vehicles have traces of various impact damage, bloodstains of mutated creatures, and are common in those trucks and pickups.

Many adventurers bring the mutant creatures they hunt back to the colony.

After all, the flesh and blood of mutated creatures, as well as their fur and bones, were all available resources.

Flesh and flesh can be processed as ingredients to become food supplies, and fur and bones can be processed into armor and weapons.

Therefore, after an adventurer hunts a mutant creature, what he harvests is not only the crystal nucleus of the mutant creature, but also the corpse of the mutant creature is also a very valuable trophy.

Wu Xiang wandered around the city gate for a while, then drove back.

Wu Xiang's car, of course, is not his Katie Marty luxury car. In fact, Wu Xiang no longer has Katie Marty's car. Whether it is a luxury car or a RV, they have been completely scrapped and abandoned in the suburbs.
