Chapter 6 We Are All Scavengers
The gods and demons in ancient Chinese mythology use the energy called divine power, true energy, magic power, and demon power to call the wind and rain, thunder and fire, change their forms, and go all out to heaven and earth. In Nordic mythology, the gods in the sky use divine power to do similar things. And today after the destruction, you will find that these myths and legends are very similar to what is happening in the current world!
Perhaps, divine power, true energy, magic power, and demon power are actually all things. Perhaps, in the distant past, there were really those gods and demons and monsters in myths and legends on the earth. They are essentially evolvers like the present, or some very powerful evolvers. Later, for some reason, these guys with the "magic power" in the eyes of ordinary people gradually disappeared into the torrent of history, and because of time, they forgot their true colors and extraordinary abilities. They only remembered their powerful power and extraordinary abilities, thus deifying those powerful evolvers. After thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years of circulation, they became gods in myths and legends! They became demons in legends! With the myths and stories of today!
...................... The dividing line between gods and demons and evolutionists............
Walking in the morning sun, a group of six people walked out of the camp on the outskirts of the city and made it smooth. Outside the camp was stationed with a division of troops, mainly to prevent the direction of the city, but the management of people entering and leaving the camp was not strict, and basically they were free to enter and exit. Why do you ask? The camp supplies are so tight now. It would be better if the people in the camp could get something to come back to relieve the pressure on the managers, and if they die, they would give less food. After all, the dangers outside are already broadcasting every day. If you restrict entry and exit, some people will not only not be grateful, but will also make trouble by fighting for freedom. After all, there are always some brainless people who are kicked by donkeys. Therefore, the upper class made such a very free decision. Hello, I am, everyone, it is really good!
Not long after walking, Li Gang saw the dilapidated city in the distance. Why was it dilapidated? Because the towering buildings were all over the place, the quality was still good, and it almost turned into a pile of concrete garbage on the ground.
Seeing the mountains is exhausted, let alone people with two legs. Now Li Gang understands why Sun Ying asked everyone to go and go back early. It took half a day to walk just by walking. In the past, it only took dozens of minutes to take a bus!
I remember that Li Gang had not seen the vehicles that were all over the end of the world. If the things on the roadside that were only demolished and only one territory were left as cars, that would be another matter. Even if there were not a few kilograms of iron left in this way, there were not many on the road. Chen Hongli explained this difficult situation.
Due to the arrival of the end of the world, there is a shortage of materials. Not only food, but also fuel, steel, etc., and the engines that are capable of being operated are naturally good things, because the automobile factory has been discontinued. Steel is also a good material for building solid fortifications and houses. There is no steel mill, but there are evolvers. Not to mention the elemental system evolver with the ability to control metals, a flame evolver and a control superpower system like Sun Ying can make the steel look the way it wants. These steels not only build houses, but also use them as weapons! So steel is very valuable and can be exchanged for food. Don’t drive back directly because the camp does not allow cars to enter, and how can you drive without oil? The oil has been drained long ago. When you act as a government transport team, you rely on your shoulders to carry the tanks and cars?
Therefore, if you go to the idle team that picks up scatters outside, if you don’t find anything decent, you will unload something from the roadside car when you come back and then go to the camp trading market to exchange. This is the first time Li Gang heard that there is a place like a trading market in the camp, so you can take a look after it back.
After more than three hours of trekking, the group finally entered the urban area of T City. The sight of them was full of broken buildings and broken bridges. Many of the ground and walls were covered with dry blood, and human bones were everywhere. Fortunately, the temperature is low now and there is no too much nausea.
The first time I saw this scene, Li Gang was disgusted, but there was nothing to vomit except sour water in my stomach. On the other hand, Xiaowei, Sun Ying and others looked as usual. Even if they were a little unnatural on their faces, they were much stronger than Li Gang. It seems that they have become accustomed to this kind of scene because it is not the first time they have seen it.
"We walked in a little bit this time, and there was nothing available here." Sun Ying suggested. They had been here last time. They were tired for a long time and found nothing. It seemed that they had been turned here n times.
Everyone had no objection and walked towards the city center along the road full of broken buildings and broken walls.
"Miss Xiaoying, is it unsafe for us to be too dependent? Last time I heard from Zhao Feng and others that they were greedy to leave, but they encountered a mutant dog. If it weren't for the flame ability evolvers among them who tried their best to set fire walls to block them, they would have explained it." Chen Hongli said with some concern, especially seeing the broken bones made him even more frightened.
Before Sun Ying could speak, Aaron Kwok patted Chen Hongli on the shoulder and said first, "Okay, we won't go deep. The city is not the countryside. Where can so many dogs come from? If they meet them, they are unlucky, you should worry about how to deal with the living dead. That thing is more practical. How can a timid man become an excellent man!" Then he put it in his ear and said in a voice that only they could hear: "Xiaowei will not like timid men. Look, Xiaowei seems to have a bad relationship with his brother, probably related to his brother's weak and unmanly appearance!" If Li Gang heard the last sentence of their conversation, he would definitely complain: "Although I am not a tall and burly man, I still have masculinity. The reason why I am so weak is not like this for a month. Now it is definitely not as good as 135 pounds, maybe it is less than 100, right?"
Li Gang walked behind the team and once again observed the city that had lived for more than ten years. The original prosperity no longer exists, leaving only endless ruins and desolation. The originally flat and wide roads were either buried by ruins or covered with cracks, and the thick roots of unknown plants crisscrossed on the ground, like an ancient ruin of a hundred years. In fact, this place became like this in just one month. The green belts on both sides of the road are no longer as neat and exquisite as before, but have grown into big trees, with branches crawling over the ruins falling on the road. The leaves of the pot cover made Li Gang unable to recognize what kind of plant it used to be. Why do you feel so inconsistent? It was only mid-March, and the weather was still very cold. Will it be too alternative to you growing so lushly?
Li Gang pointed to the strange trees on the side of the road and asked, "What kind of plants are those? They don't look like plum blossoms no matter how they look."
Sun Ying looked at what Li Gang pointed, saying, "That used to be ordinary ornamental plants. You don't need to pursue the names of the past. Now it is called the "arrow tree". Pay attention to its leaves. There are two sharp thorns hidden under each leaf. Once someone or animal walks under him, it will be shot into a hedgehog immediately and then become its nutrient."
Is it so evil? Li Gang quickly looked at the big leaves carefully. Sure enough, two thorns more than 20 cm were found under the leaves. The thorns extended out from the two tubular structures at the root of the leaves. In addition to some white bones, there were also a few thorns thorns messily there.
"Also, these spikes have the lethality of about as big as small caliber pistols, and they can't even shoot the most ordinary bulletproof vests, but their attacks are all-round and there are highly poisonous stings. These poisons can not only kill targets that are stabbed by it, but also promote the decomposition of organic matter, allowing the shot corpse to melt into juice and facilitate the absorption of the root system. It basically lets him die if he wipes a little skin! So stay away from them. Not only them, but all plants are far away. Any plant that looks harmless may also be the most terrible killer. This is the conclusion drawn by many scavengers with their lives."
"It's so dangerous, don't worry, even if there are a bunch of beauties hanging on the plants, I won't get close to you..." Li Gang said very firmly, but then added: "Look at it from a distance!"
"Go to die, you know woman, you pervert!" Xiaowei felt ashamed of this perverted brother, so he was so angry that he released the killing electric shock therapy to him.
After walking slowly for half an hour, the group stopped in front of a broken mall. The mall did not collapse in the earthquake, which means the quality is not bad, but it was broken enough, as if it would collapse at any time.
"Today, this mall is our goal. Although it is unlikely to find something, you will enter the activity area of the Living Dead when you walk forward. Our team is okay to deal with more than ten Living Dead people at once. If dozens or even hundreds of people pounce on each other, you can only add a meal to the Living Dead people. So you can only go here. No matter whether you can find food or use, don't be emotional. We are a small team like us who rely on luck. When we enter, we follow closely. Don't act alone. Do you understand?" Sun Ying made a plan that cannot be considered a plan before entering the mall. After everyone agreed, the group walked into the mall swaggeringly from the broken door.
The mall was very quiet, and everyone stepped on the glass slag and made a harsh creaking sound, making the atmosphere particularly weird.
A striking big sign hanging opposite the mall, marked with daily necessities on the first floor, food area, clothing area on the second floor, toys for sale on the third floor, cosmetics, jewelry, cinema on the fifth floor, and game hall.
Xiaowei saw the four layers of cosmetics and jewelry logos, and her eyes lit up. Since the Day of Destruction, she has not even applied skin care products for more than a month. Her skin always feels dry, let alone makeup. Jewelry is the dream of every woman, and now she has the opportunity to grab a lot of things. How can she not be moved? So the thief smiled and said to Sun Ying: "Sister Xiaoying, let's go to the fourth floor to have a look."
Sun Ying looked up at the big sign, smiled and knocked Xiaowei's forehead and said, "Damn girl, you're the one who thinks a lot." Seeing that Sun Ying did not directly object and had a chance, Xiaowei launched a cute offensive: "Okay, Miss Xiaoying, as a super universe invincible thunderbolt girl, how can you not wear makeup without makeup? As the saying goes, girls should not be without makeup for a day! As a beautiful girl of all kinds, can you face the sky plainly? Right..."
"Stop." Sun Ying interrupted Xiaowei without waiting for Xiaowei to continue saying: "You can be poor, and if you continue, you should raise your makeup to the height of the universe. You are going to the fourth floor. After all, there is still a market for precious metals now. If you can find some jewelry, it will not be in vain."
"That's it!" Xiaowei responded quickly.
"But we have to wait until we have finished searching the first floor, so don't worry." Sun Ying's sentence disappointed Xiaowei a little, but she thought it was not bad for a while. She seemed to see the diamond beads on the fourth floor waving to her! "What are you waiting for? Let's search quickly and find out all the food!" With the temptation of jewelry, Xiaowei pretended to roll down his sleeves, and was full of energy to prepare to do a big fight.
Looking at Xiaowei's cute appearance, Li Gang said sadly: "Sister, I am your brother. Why don't you be cute to me? You are closer to your Sister Xiaoying than to me, my brother, how can I bear it!"
Xiaowei glared at Li Gang, remembering his vulgar expression in the morning, and said with contempt: "You have become too much, how far you think, how far away you get!" Then he shook his head and walked to Sun Ying, preparing to start searching, and ignored him.
Everyone first showed a surprised expression, and then turned into this. They couldn't help but guess that this guy must have despised his cute sister for something that was so beastly. At the same time, they added two new labels "sister control" and "perverted" next to Li Gang's "slow" label.
Facing the perverted gaze of everyone, Li Gang had the urge to explain, but he remembered a famous saying, "Explanation is to cover up", so he honestly shut his mouth. But he forgot that there is another famous saying, "If you don't speak, you mean you're acquiesce."
As a tall and handsome rich man, Feng Tianliang doesn't understand how the "wretched man" like Li Gang can make his cute sister so disgusted. If he had a sister, he would definitely let his sister circulate around him every day, and his brother kept calling out. He thought so, who was once or now, and he was popular among thousands of girls.
Aaron Kwok-in thought, buddy, you are really my idol, you won’t even let your sister go. If it were me, at most, I would just take a peek at my sister’s bathing and take advantage of my brother’s convenience to eat some small tofu. What step did you do? Can my sister be so angry?
Chen Hongli said that if you don’t understand, don’t understand, the sister control is the most unaware of it! Is it the same principle as the younger brother control?
Sun Ying directly defined Li Gang as a scumbag, and he should stay away from harmful substances, so he should keep Xiaowei away from him in the future.
Li Gang didn't know what others thought. He only knew that his glorious image had collapsed and nothing left. If the image was gone, it would be gone. Now the most important thing is to find food. The hunger in his stomach urged him to eat quickly! Therefore, Li Gang worked very hard when he worked, hoping to find some food to cushion. One by one, the shelves weighing hundreds of kilograms were easily overturned by Li Gang, trying to find some fish that slipped through the hidden corner under the shelves. To be honest, Li Gang also jumped his strange power. He tried his best to lift the first shelf. He obviously looked very heavy, but when he exerted his force, he felt that his subordinates were not as heavy as expected. For example, you planned to carry a bucket full of water, but when you lifted it up, you found that it was empty.
It was the big shelf that flew out and almost smashed Chen Hongli in front of her down. Li Gang then had an intuitive understanding of his strength, which was about three times that of an ordinary adult. Of course, this ordinary adult was measured by the standards before the Day of Destruction. At that time, an ordinary adult could lift about 100 kilograms, while a weightlifting champion could lift 200-300 kilograms. This weightlifting is divided into levels. A 70 kilogram player is equivalent to the weight of an ordinary adult man, and can lift 200 kilograms. That's right, it's kilograms, not kilograms. If Li Gang can master the balance, it's okay to lift a ton, let alone lift a shelf weighing hundreds of kilograms. Also, Li Gang is still in a period of hunger and weakening!
After searching for a while, everyone found that they were thinking too naive. On the huge first floor, except for the empty shelves, there were empty and crooked shelves, and shelves with iron brackets removed. This was cleaner than the locusts passing through the border, and even half a piece of chewing gum was left behind!
"Ying, it seems that this place has been searched several times. I don't think there is any need to continue searching. It's better to change a place." Feng Tianliang said. He is pursuing Sun Ying. Although many women have paid him, ordinary girls can no longer arouse his interest. A beautiful woman like Sun Ying is the woman he wants now. However, Sun Ying is not very interested in him, a handsome guy, and neither rejects nor is he kind to him. This is also something he has been upset about recently.
Although she doesn't like Feng Tianliang's intimate name that feels good about himself, Sun Ying doesn't care whether she has a mouth on him, and she doesn't want to make a relationship break. After all, it's a team organized by her own, so unity is very important.
Sun Ying looked around the messy hall. Li Gang was still searching hard, thinking that he couldn't see that he looked malnourished and was so powerful. He was indeed a power-based evolutionist! He threw out these irrelevant thoughts and said to everyone seriously: "You can't go in. Look for it again, go to the upper floors to see. There is really nothing to pick up and go back. Although our team is relatively powerful, it is still a big gap from the real exploration team. If you really encounter a powerful group of living dead people or mutant beasts, you may not be able to escape unscathed." Sun Ying is a cautious person. She never does not know what she is not sure about. This may be a woman's nature.
"Be careful!" Chen Hongli suddenly shouted: "Something is approaching us!"
Hearing Chen Hongli's warning, several people immediately stood together, facing different directions, and they moved smoothly, as if they had practiced many times. After Xiaowei stood still, he saw that the perverted brother was still searching there, and shouted anxiously: "Brother stupid, come here!"
Li Gang was flirting with something just now, and the noise was too loud and he didn't hear Chen Hongli's warning, but his sister's voice was heard. This is more magical. Could it be that he is more sensitive to female voices? Well, now is not the time to study this.
Li Gang looked at his sister Xiaowei. Sun Ying and others had already stood in a circle, back to back, and they were nervous no matter how they looked at each other. The idiot also saw that something was wrong and rushed over without saying a word.
