A Will Eternal Chapter 946
Zhao Wenrui couldn't remember when he fell asleep, but he woke up with his biological clock and didn't need anyone to wake him up.
This made the rest of the survival team feel a lot more at ease. They felt that if they could wake up with their own work and rest habits and prove that their bodies were functioning normally, then the corresponding injuries were indeed not serious.
The breakfast is relatively rich. In addition to jerky and noodles, each person also has vegetable soup and a boiled egg.
During the nap time after breakfast, Owen helped Zhao Wenrui check his lower injury, and changed herbal medicine and clean gauze. The next time we deal with it, the interval will not be so frequent.
Zhao Wenrui's work was over here, and Lucius and the others packed up. The group checked the equipment, took what should be brought, kept what should be kept, and then left the safe house.
The safe house is the transit point, fulcrum of action, and temporary shelter for the survivors. It is said that it used to be a shared nature, the kind of 'one for one, one for all', but that was the old calendar decades ago Yes, to use the ancient saying of the old people: people's hearts are not old, and people nowadays are not as good as each generation, and they are becoming more and more selfish.
Therefore, the business of "scavenging" is becoming more and more difficult. In addition to facing zombies and beasts, peers have gradually become enemies, even more threatening than zombies and beasts. After all, peers are wise and understand this business.
The survival team led by Zhao Wenrui is code-named No. 5. In Zhao Wenrui's memory, he traveled to this world on No. 5. This team was also established on No. 5. There are 5 of them. The first regular task number they received was 5.
There are so many 5, it seems that there is an indissoluble bond with 5, so the team came up with such a name, which is also related to the superstition of most scavengers in contemporary shelters.
They generally believe that something like this is a sign from the heavens, and they should obey it, otherwise it will be ominous.
Perhaps it is the psychological suggestion that brings a certain amount of self-confidence bonus. Since the establishment of No. 5, it has been relatively smooth.
Privately, Zhao Wenrui felt that he played an important role as the team leader. But he also had to admit that the luck of No. 5 was at least not bad. Sometimes the business of scavenging was really tricky, and the difference between African chiefs and European emperors was not the slightest bit.
This time Zhao Wenrui was injured, and the problem was Emma. The old driver overturned the car and became pregnant, but neither Emma nor Owen was ready for a baby, so it would be aborted, which is just a common thing in this era.
Naturally, after a fight, you have to take care of your health, and in order not to leave sequelae, you have to be out of production, which costs a lot of money.
In terms of consumption, most of the people in the shelter have inherited the habit of their ancestors. They have a flower, and then earn it when it is gone. Emma and Owen are also in this way.
Usually some small money is used to enjoy life. Of course, in Zhao Wenrui's view, he didn't enjoy killing. It's just a waste of money. They call it romantic, but Zhao Wenrui thinks it's not as good as eating nonsense. It's a good deal to drink.
Therefore, it makes sense that Zhao Wenrui has always been single.
Passers-by like him, only those old drivers who are crazy enough and plan to find a safe meal ticket to live a peaceful life will choose.
But I don't understand style, and I don't have a good father yet, so...
Life is hard, so I naturally want to make money, but the abortion caused endocrine disorders, and my aunt did not come on time. Emma was worried that she wouldn't play with her again this round, so she was selfish and lied.
A lie often requires more lies to cover, and lying about physical discomfort is nothing more than sloppy handling of personal garbage, which is a mistake that has been driven out step by step.
And for this mistake, he almost paid the price with his life.
So even though this matter is over, and Zhao Wenrui himself didn't bother about whether he should be rescued or not, he is still a little bit annoyed. Xin said: "This is really a lesson. In the future, no matter whether the team is downsizing or recruiting, it will not recruit women..."
After coming out of the safe house, the group of people suddenly felt a lot more cheerful. The spring is beautiful, the air is fresh, the eyes are green, the birds are singing, and they are full of vitality.
However, in the eyes of a traveler like Zhao Wenrui, the bleak atmosphere of the large cemetery in the city covered by vegetation feels a deeper sense of sadness and chill than the natives.
A hundred years have passed, and the once world-class bustling metropolis has already entered the "flesh and blood", leaving only dense "bones".
Under the background of no one handling it properly, the temperature and humidity in New York determine that thin cotton items such as T-shirts will be degraded in about 6 months.
Thin woolen clothing can also rot like a sheep's carcass. If it is in a wild environment, it will be completely finished within a year.
Coats and other heavy cotton and wool products can generally survive for 5 years.
It takes 30-40 years for nylon products such as tights, carpets, and disposable diapers to degrade.
Car tires, sneakers, and most modern chemically treated leather products typically take 50 years to degrade.
Potato chip packaging bags, instant noodle bags, etc. supported by 'imitation metal' plastic film will take 80 years.
So up to now, New York, which was once extremely rich in material and like a treasure house, really basically has only a 'skeleton' left. Among them, the skeleton of the building and the skeleton of the vehicle are the most prominent.
Then there are glass products and plastic products. Apart from being dirty, these things basically don’t change much. It means that they will still be strong after a few hundred years.
However, there are still many valuable things to be excavated in the ruins of this city.
Some are left over from history, such as precious metals. Not only because of their rarity, but also because of their characteristics, like gold and silver, many precision parts need them, and mining raw ore is too extravagant for the natives today, so they mainly rely on scavenging to collect.
Others are gifts of nature. People retreat from the forest and enter, the original reinforced concrete jungle gradually becomes a natural jungle, and because of some elements and environmental characteristics in the urban ruins, some creatures that do not exist in ordinary wilderness have been born. For example, corpse oil fruit, or pig-nosed mouse.
Although the former is also grown in the refuge, the artificially grown ones cannot compare with the wild ones in terms of yield and quality, and so far no research has been done to find out what the difference is.
As for the latter, the front face of this kind of mouse is highly similar to that of a pig-nosed bat, and its weight is comparable to that of the large cats that Zhao Wenrui knows, with an average of 8-9 kg.
For the people in the refuge, the pig-nosed mouse is a more particular game, and its grade is almost equivalent to venison for modern people. So it still has good hunting value.
However, Zhao Wenrui still can't pass the psychological barrier to eat this thing, mainly because they, like corpse oil fruits, breed around zombies.
That's right, one of the most representative elements in urban ruins is zombies.
Although people have found that zombies are becoming longer and longer, the general trend of decreasing year by year has not stopped. The main reason for the reduction is internal friction.
Cannibalism. It is said that the situation is similar to the situation when the zombies broke through the shelter and had a meal. It is also a large group with an absolute advantage in numbers, attacking a group with a small number, and then eating together, the scene of gluttony is grand. And when the zombies finished eating, the scavengers who deboned and pecked their flesh entered the arena as vultures and wild dogs, followed by pig-nosed rats and the like.
Zhao Wenrui had never seen it before, but thinking about it made him shudder. At the same time, the pig-nosed mouse was the third wave of food. They ate the dregs in the dregs and the garbage in the water. Zhao Wenrui seriously suspected that there was something wrong with the pig-nosed mouse meat.
The theory of corpse oil fruit is simpler. It is said that under every corpse oil fruit, there must be zombie corpses.
As a group of scavengers, No. 5 is not very special, that's what they mainly do when they go hunting or searching for items.
The reason why the scavengers are treated differently by the people in the shelter is mainly because of three points.
The first is interest.
As the saying goes, it is better to steal than to make, and the difference between the two is to pick. If you are lucky, it is entirely possible to get rich overnight.
Do a big job and retire. Such a beautiful vision is the American dream of this era, which stimulates the people in the shelter, especially the young people.
Secondly, this business involves violence and wisdom, which is more compelling.
This is like a modern one-in-a-million pilot with a high threshold, and being able to hold it is itself a proof of excellence.
Finally, freedom.
For most people in the shelter, 'home' is a major factor that brings pain and suffering. Every year, there are a few accidents in the shelter where the coats let themselves go, which can make everyone who grew up in the shelter play. One can imagine how boring and tedious the life in the shelter is in the drama of "Give me freedom or give me death".
These three reasons determine that the vast majority of scavengers have a high sense of pride in their profession and identity, and they will not say hypocritically: "If you don't do it, you don't know the suffering of this business."
No industry is simple, all are particular and not easy.
In Zhao Wenrui's team, there is no one who has bitterness, hatred, and emotional twists. They all know the risks of doing this business, and they are mentally prepared for disability. This aspect has the worst affordability.
But Zhao Wenrui has a golden finger, no matter how simple it is, it is still a golden finger.
One of the functions is to make every contribution and gain of him intuitive, and this alone is already great. After all, the reason why most people give up is often because they don't see positive feedback.
Zhao Wenrui was walking in the middle of the team at this time, thinking about more specific action plans while walking, which was his main job.
Emma is at the forefront. She is the eyes of the team, and the ears of the team are old Nick. Listening to the sound and distinguishing objects is the unique skill of old Nick. This skill is not only accumulated by experience, but also talented. Can't learn.
In modern times, those in charge of medical treatment in special forces are often experts in chemical weapons. After all, western medicine is related to chemical weapons. But in this era, in refuges, team doctors are often snipers, because surgeons and snipers You need to be careful, calm, and steady.
Irving is one of the representatives, he ranked second to last in the team. It is the fire support of the team, not responsible for the detection and formulation of immediate action plans, which is also different from modern snipers.
The black Lucius walked at the end of the team. He was the regular assaulter in the team.
Zhao Wenrui chose Lucius mainly because of his high energy and high overall quality.
In Zhao Wenrui's eyes, Lucius is the kind of person who gives full play to the excellent athletic ability of black people. Simple thinking and a barely passing IQ are also its advantages.
Obviously, the latter one is a typical benevolent sees benevolence and the wise sees wisdom, and it also exposed Zhao Wenrui's employment style of "loyalty first, obedience second, and talent third".
Just for this point, it is not surprising that he embarked on the road of group control puppet when conditions permit.
c Kane secretly saw the unchangeable nature of his human clone again and again, and realized that this might not be his major shortcoming.
So a pilot was carried out in the staff department, and the brain worms were given a large amount of power to see if they could get any surprises. And with this step, the swarm broke the continuous low-key development path of the past century, and began to show its fangs and claws towards the Milky Way, and even the entire universe.
But it was still early days, Kane had just given the authority to the three major swarms, and the brain worms of the General Staff were working out a strategic plan excitedly and cautiously.
As the saying goes, eating the king's fortune, being loyal to the king, and worrying about the king's worries, the swarms have no interest in dominating the Marvel universe. Their strategic plan also revolves around how to deal with the enemy that Kane has foreseen.
The plan they appointed, in simple terms, is to lure the snake out of the hole.
Enemies hiding in the dark will often deliver a very fatal blow suddenly. For this reason, it is necessary to lead the snake out of the hole. To achieve this strategy, the swarm will be extremely aggressive.
The first target is the Cree.
There is no way, whoever made the Kree is the leading interstellar empire in the Marvel Universe now, if they want to fight, they can fight the strongest, step on their corpses and become the new number one in one fell swoop.
In addition, the Kree people don’t know how to be human, and they rely on force and technology to maintain their position. More importantly, Kane also has a serious lack of affection for the Kree people, so there is nothing wrong with using them as sacrifices for the rise of the swarm.
In recent years, whether it is the Kaishen Palace or the swarm, one of the military focuses is to collect intelligence.
Therefore, the Swarm can be said to have a good understanding of the Kree.
There are currently about 30 billion Cree people, and the swarm means to exterminate 98% of them, and they mainly target pure Cree people (blue skin), and finally make the ratio of blue skin to pink skin reach 1:5, the scale is the whole world cosmic scope.
This also means that the Cree Interstellar Empire will be completely wiped out, because scattered everywhere, there are more than 600 million Cree who are not part of the Interstellar Empire, and most of them are trafficked by the Cree themselves pink-skinned compatriots.
Considering that once the swarm makes a move, Kane's enemy will spy in the dark and collect information, the swarm intends to only use the branch of life.
That is to say, the green worm whose mother star is Bohut Star.
In terms of characteristics, the green worms are the one closest to the Zeger Zerg in the sc universe, devouring all kinds of resources, and are known for their high adaptability and high reproduction.
This 'authentic' bug swarm, which wins by quantity, will launch a full-scale attack on the main planet and core colony planet of the Cree after the number of war bugs explodes to 100 billion.
If all goes well, specific actions will begin in 4 Earth years and 7 Earth months.
c Kane's attitude towards this is laissez-faire. What he pays attention to is not the raid, but the performance of the Cerebral General Staff after that, to see if it can perform better than his overall control. Of course, it has to be much better. will get his approval. Otherwise, the significance of delegating power to the general staff will not be great.
Zhao Wenrui naturally did not expect that he would have a pair of super butterfly wings. His performance actually led to the introduction of a crazy plan to completely obliterate the interstellar empire.
c Kane thought about this matter carefully, and felt that there was something intriguing in it: what is grand and what is small? For Gao Wei's Kane, is he like his human clone, seemingly insignificant, but actually leading an unimaginable trend?
