after falling asleep

Chapter 312

Before the disaster, Hale City was a forest park in the center of the city, with the most famous caves in the vast underground space.After the disaster, it was occupied by surviving humans and changed to a gathering point, and then the class quickly solidified.

The original leaders and cronies became nobles, and they did not need to work to enjoy relatively the best quality food and treatment.Most of the survivors who joined later became poor and civilians.Some wise ones took three years to become the first order of nobility.

The current population is about 3, and the cave is divided into four areas from the inside to the outside.Aristocratic areas, civilian areas, poor areas, marginal areas.

Scavengers are the lowest level existence in Hale City.Fear of death and the outside world kept them from going out and shattered all their confidence.This group of existence relies on the leftovers and even maggots of the sewer, feeding on corpses, hiding in the gathering point day after day and year after year, just to survive.

Even if maggots are biting on the rotten flesh, even if the skin is covered with large and small lesions and tumors, even if sleeping in feces, even if half of the face is eaten off by someone.

Living is a pain, but at least alive.

Extremely hungry, these scavengers will start attacking their own kind.The civilian area and the noble area are forbidden areas.So they wander around the outskirts or poor areas of Hale City, attacking passing and bully creatures, such as less powerful scavengers or children.

They prefer children.That is, it is not like the meat of the elderly, which is hard to chew, nor is it stiff and sour like adults, and it does not have the rotten smell of other scavengers.The child's meat is tender and delicious, and it seems to be sweet.

Therefore, this group of scavengers has another name, which is also the most widely circulated title: ghouls.

They are the spreaders of plague and disease.

In a way, there is nothing wrong with Hale City purging this group of people.But be careful, this does not mean that Hale City is a good person.

A bunch of bastards get killed by a bunch of worse bastards.

This is the third wave of ghouls expelled from Hale City. The hundreds of people from the previous two times have not returned yet.

Light gradually appeared in front of everyone.

"Why didn't you choose to leave?" Joyce asked.

The hole became narrower and narrower, and the line continued to grow.

The young man smiled bitterly: "Where are we going? Most of us poor people have no access to news about other gathering places. And who can guarantee that it will be better than here? There are too many false rumors. I also decided after my mother died. ran out."

"What is Hale City's food source?"

"There is an underground river in the aristocratic area, and fish or biological corpses are often brought by the water. The city lord's mansion arranges work, and the reward is not to starve to death."

This is why there was no plague outbreak in Hale City - most of the corpses were thrown into the dark river.And scavengers can't go into the aristocratic area to pick up corpses to eat.

Asking along the way, the entrance of the cave has been reduced to only accommodate three or four people side by side.

Chen Yue and Mu Su were ten meters away, and the conversation could not be heard here.

"The background of the information age, feudal class culture...?" Chen Yue said to herself, feeling incredible.

"This is the end. The level of civilization of a gathering place depends on the leader who controls it." Mu Su said in a low voice, and sighed softly: "I hope not all human gathering places are like this."

If Mu Su didn't keep squinting at Chen Yue when he said these words, the effect might be better.

Ahead, the conversation continues.

"How do you divide the strength of monsters?"

"It's just like what's going on now."

Joyce replied naturally: "Our place is different, if you can, please elaborate."

The young man did not doubt him, and told all he knew.

Creatures in the last days are divided into two types. The wormhole visitors who continuously spew out monsters are collectively called horrible creatures.The variation and evolution of the earth's native organisms are collectively referred to as mutant organisms.

实力划分为9级，齿鼠、力蚁、尸鬼一类为1级变异生物。而恐怖生物实力要普遍高出2级。也就是说，1级恐怖生物相当于3级变异生物。

Level 1 mutant creatures require a team of more than five people to barely kill them without injury.If there is a gun, the requirements can be appropriately reduced.

Firearms are a good thing, but unfortunately they are only in the hands of nobles and soldiers.

No one wants to provoke level 2 mutant creatures unless necessary. Level 3 mutated creatures require heavy weapons to eliminate, level 4 mutated creatures can easily slaughter a human gathering point, and most gathering places with a population of less than [-] cannot resist.

Fortunately, there is also fighting and hostility among the terrorist creatures and mutant creatures, and human beings can use this to survive.

Walking out of the cave, everyone stood in front of the intentionally covered cave.

In late autumn, a layer of fallen leaves is covered, and the ruins of the city can be seen looming in the distance through the mountains and forests.

From time to time, roars swayed in the city.

Except for a small number of scavengers who left along the mountain road, most of them stayed at the entrance of the cave, not knowing what to do.

Joyce extended an invitation to Newman, which was the youth's name.He hesitated and refused, he wanted to go back to his former home to have a look.

After parting at the entrance of the cave, Joyce led the team, and the group walked to the human city in the distance—the former.

Some scavengers followed behind, but Joyce ignored them and quickly told everyone all the information he had heard.

He does not interfere with the attribute panel, which is freely controlled by members.

It may be a good choice to let the professions cooperate.For example, a group of people are dedicated to defense, and a group of people are dedicated to output, but their weaknesses are obvious. Once they are separated, it is a dead end.

Joyce knew this.

A few minutes later, they came to the edge of the forest, approaching the city.

An endless, cracked street appeared in front of him.

Under the gloomy weather, vehicles that had been corroded to nothing but racks were crowded in the streets and parked messily, which seemed to show the suddenness of the disaster.

Bones were scattered everywhere, both human and animal.The desolate streets are lifeless, lined with shops and tall buildings.

If some tall buildings were hit by something, they would be broken in the middle.Or block the street, or lean against adjacent buildings.

"This is the end of the world."

With deep eyes, Musu stepped onto the street first.

Everyone looked at each other and followed.

Mu Su breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately they followed, otherwise it would be scary to be alone.

After playing handsome, Mu Su gradually returned to Chen Yue, and the group followed Joyce into the nearest second-floor shop.There is almost nothing here except the walls, and it is impossible to tell what was sold here.

The supplies nearby have already been looted.They may be able to waste time trying their luck, but if they want to gain something, they can only explore further.

The scavengers following behind wanted to go in, but were blocked by the gatekeepers.

Inside the store, Joyce gave the order.

The two groups stayed here, and the rest dispersed in groups of five and moved forward to collect supplies. Don't leave this street.If abnormalities are found, they will be alerted in time.Complete the secondary tasks first.

Musu and Chen Yue and three members teamed up.She picked up a sharp stone from the ground, pulled a cloth strip from her body, tied it around the wide part, and held it.

Stones are better than empty hands.
