After entering the city, Qin An followed Liu Ru obediently, and then walked forward along a road with everyone. As he walked, Qin An listened to the conversation between Liu Ru and Wang Han, and at the same time used what he saw and his super hearing to understand the surrounding poor people. The collection of conversations gave me a preliminary understanding of the city.
The city lord of Ruyan is Wang Han, and the deputy city lord is Deng Bo. Wang Han is also the only mutant in Ruyan City.
This big city is a city of fifty thousand people, divided into two areas: east and west.
Dongcheng is an aboriginal area. Before the end of the world, it was originally a seaside resort with many villas and some residential buildings.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, the manager of the resort spent a lot of money to buy a lot of building materials from nearby cities and built a huge wall. This manager was Wang Khan's father.
As Liu Ruyan's personal bodyguard, Wang Han protected Liu Ruyan's mother and daughter all the way to the Land of Doomsday. He originally wanted to go home, but when they were near Wangyou City, Liu Ruyan was killed by Wangyou. The city's material search team captured him.
Wang Han was injured while trying to save Liu Ruyan and fell into the Gutian River. Finally, when he came ashore, he was bitten several times by zombies and awakened as a mutant.
After many twists and turns, he took in some survivors as his subordinates, then returned to his home, took over the big city from his father, and continued to build and improve it, and then officially named it Ruyan City.
So in the resort in the east of the city, Wang Khan's people and Deng Bo's people lived.
Deng Bo ran a food delivery company before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse broke out, he had a large amount of food and crop seeds in his hands.
At the same time, he also has his own team, about a few thousand people, some of whom are CEOs of some food companies and their families, and the other part are the bodyguards hired by these people.
When he took these people to surrender to King Khan, he naturally became the deputy city lord because he had a large amount of supplies.
The west part of Ruyan City is a slum area.
The people who live here are all latecomers, having previously lived in other gathering places in the Land of Doom.
However, due to the existence of Wanguo City, their gathering places eventually fell one by one. After people escaped, they fled to Ruyan City.
For example, there were no spare houses for them to live in the resorts in the east city of Yancheng, so they could only set up tents with cloth, plastic sheets, and wooden sticks in the large open spaces in the west of the city to form shantytowns, and then became poor people.
These people brought almost no food when they entered the city, so they relied entirely on the support of the indigenous people to survive.
Wang Khan was considered a Madonna-level figure. He had a compassionate heart and couldn't bear to see the poor starving to death, so he tried his best to distribute supplies from the east of the city to the west.
However, although the deputy city lord Deng Bo supported Wang Khan's approach, many people in Dongcheng were unwilling to distribute their belongings to others. However, they did not dare to violate the opinions of the two city lords, but they were dissatisfied in their hearts.
And people in the west of the city were unhappy because the population ratio between the east and west was 2:3.
In other words, there are only 20,000 aboriginal people, but they live in resorts with large space.
There are 30,000 outsiders living in slums in open spaces outside the resort.
This is a disharmonious factor, and Wang Khan's ruling methods are too benevolent, which makes the voice of dissatisfaction in the west of the city become stronger.
In order to reconcile this contradiction, Wang Han moved his office space from the east of the city to the west of the city. The purpose was to solve this problem and increase the control of various forces in the east of the city.
This is why Wang Khan rushed to greet Liu Ru and Qin An as soon as they arrived at Ruyan City Gate.
Wang Han had a smile on his face at this time, and it was obvious that Liu Ru's arrival made him very happy.
"Hey, the construction materials are basically used to build the city wall, and there is simply no way to build more houses in the west of the city. And the aborigines in the east of the city are very resistant to outsiders in the west of the city! You know, the life they live after the apocalypse is considered It's safe, and some people have never even seen zombies. Therefore, they are very distrustful of outsiders in the west of the city! It's really difficult for them to live together! Liu Ru, I'm so annoyed, you must help this time. help me!"
Wang Han and Liu Ru complained.
Liu Ru had a polite smile on her face and said: "Wang Han, we should be considered friends now. I was really grateful to you for protecting us all the way! But I am just a woman, how can I help you? I I also want to thank you for providing me with a place to stay, no matter what, I feel like I really owe you a lot!"
When Wang Han heard what Liu Ru said, the smile on his face became a little embarrassed. He opened his mouth several times, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
Qin An could tell that Wang Han probably liked Liu Ru very much, but Liu Ru's attitude was polite. In this polite manner, she had already shut Wang Han out.
Qin An was not interested in what happened between them. He was more concerned about whether Granny Rong and Li Na had come to Ruyan City.
So, he said: "Sister Liu, I still have two friends, a girl and an old woman. We got separated on the way to Ruyan City. I wonder if they are here!"
When Liu Ru heard this, her eyes fell on Wang Han.
Wang Han glanced at Qin An, and then said to Liu Ru: "You also know that we have closed the city for a long time. Without the introduction of the elders in the city, outsiders are not allowed to enter. So, what are the names of those two people? I turned around and told the guard that if they come, I will ask the guard to take them into the city."
Qin An said hurriedly: "The little girl's name is Li Na, and the old woman's name is Sun Rong!"
Wang Han nodded, then looked at Qin An curiously, and finally couldn't help but ask Liu Ru: "Liu Ru, who is this boy?"
Liu Ru thought for a while, smiled slightly and said: "He is my brother, just call him Xiaoan!"
"younger brother?"
Wang Han was full of doubts. Why didn't he know when Liu Ru had such a young brother? You know, Liu Ru is already thirty-eight years old this year, although now she looks like a girl of about twenty years old.
Thinking of this incident, Wang Han's mood became depressed. He found that the gap between him and Liu Ru was really getting wider and wider!
At this time, a Land Rover drove over from the oncoming road and stopped next to several people.
Wang Han put away his worries and said to Liu Ru with a smile: "As usual, you should go and stay at the Seaview Pavilion. I have a meeting later. I will talk to you in the evening. I will ask the driver Xiao Wang to take you there. ! There is some chaos in the west of the city, so it’s better that you stay here less! The guards in the Seaview Pavilion have not evacuated, and I have them stationed there to help you look after your house even when you are not here!"
Liu Ru nodded, expressed her gratitude to Wang Han, and then took Qin An into the car.
Qin An said to Liu Ru in the car: "The city lord is still very generous! I didn't expect that it has been almost two years since the end of the world, and I can still ride in such a high-end car!"
Liu Ru smiled slightly and said: "Because at the beginning of the apocalypse, there were very few people infected with the T-virus! And Wang Han's father was an eschatologist. When the first zombie appeared, he immediately He started building city walls and stocking up on food! Haha, many people didn’t understand what he did at that time, but the people living here today are indeed grateful to him! It is precisely because of his foresight that the infrastructure here is protected It’s better, and many things are usable!”
While Liu Ru was talking, the car had started and left the west of the city and drove towards the east of the city.
Along the way, Qin An looked at the scenery on the roadside, and the so-called scenery was shanties and dense crowds.
Qin An's heart flew out of the car window inadvertently, and he thought of that little girl who was not very lucky, Liu Xia!
She should be in this smokey city, right? I wonder what she is doing at this time? After being separated for so long, has she ever missed herself?
The car left the shanty town and entered the east part of the city.
The scenery here has become much better. There are neat villas and clean high-rise buildings. The roads are cement floors and there are zebra crossings at the intersections. People walk leisurely on the road and occasionally you can see some cars running on the street. , as if this is a city before the end of the world.
Qin An only felt that his spirit was a little dazed. It turned out that even in the apocalypse, there are still people who can live so comfortably!
After leaving the resort area, we continued driving east and soon entered the beach area.
This place is a place for leisure. There are independent concrete basketball courts, tennis courts, volleyball courts, etc. on the beach.
The car drove along a stone road built on the beach and stopped under the city wall of Ruyan City.
The driver, Xiao Wang, turned around and said to Liu Ru, who was sitting in the back seat: "Madam, please get out of the car! I'll go and crank the lift for you!"
Liu Ru nodded helplessly. In this Ruyan City, everyone who came into contact with her called her Madam. They all followed Wang Han's call, and Liu Ru had no choice.
She could only take Qin An out of the car without mind, and then walked towards the corner of the city wall.
The so-called corner of the city wall is the intersection between the east wall and the south wall of Ruyan City. There is a building similar to an elevator that leads to the top of the fifty-meter-high wall.
This should be what driver Xiao Wang calls a lift.
Qin An followed Liu Ru and entered the wooden frame like an elevator. The driver, Xiao Wang, tightened the wire gate of the door outside, then went to the other side to shake a spiral handrail.
The wooden frame began to rise upward under the force of the pulley, until it reached the top of the wall.
An old woman opened the outer door of the elevator and said, "Miss Liu, you are back!"
Liu Ru nodded very politely to the old woman, and then led Qin An out of the elevator.
Qin An was surprised to find that this was actually a three-story building built on the inner and outer walls of Ruyan City.
Around the building, there is a cement platform with a width of three meters, and outside the platform there is an iron fence guard wall with a height of two meters.
A dozen big men were on patrol with guns in their hands. When they saw Liu Ru, they all hurriedly bowed and saluted, calling her madam.
Qin An was a little confused. After greeting them, Liu Ru said to Qin An: "What do you think, Xiao An? What do you think of this place?"
As she spoke, she led Qin An to walk on the three-meter platform.
When he reached the north of the pavilion, Qin An could see the two huge parallel high walls, and a deep ditch between the two walls thirty meters away!
Liu Rudao: "I once told Wang Han that if I had the opportunity to live in a high-rise building facing the sea, it would be a very pleasant thing! Wang Han is also a thoughtful person. When he was building the city wall, , right at this corner, using the corridor at the top of the inner and outer city walls as the base, we built this three-story pavilion and named it Seaview Pavilion. Come with me!"
After saying that, Liu Ru continued to walk along the three-meter platform. There was a two-meter-high metal fence on the outermost side of the platform. Qin An held on to the metal fence and looked down. Seventy meters below was the sea water introduced by the circular city wall. If someone who is afraid of heights stands here and takes a look, his legs will probably tremble! "
Continuing to walk forward, when he reached the east platform of the pavilion, Qin An looked up and was shocked to find that more than ten meters away from the east wall, there was actually the sea!
