Chapter 0753 Weng Lan’s Story——New Moon
Richmond is the capital of the U.S. state of Virginia.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, this place became the hardest hit area. There were almost no living people left in the whole city, and it was considered to be occupied by zombies.
Five years after the end of the world, the zombies in the city moved north and gathered with other zombie groups to form a zombie territory, turning the place into an empty city.
After the formation of the American Gangster Alliance, Richmond was controlled by several gangs and began to rebuild.
The so-called reconstruction is actually just to renovate the thirteen buildings in the center of the city, and then build a ten-meter-high city wall connecting the thirteen buildings, forming a city within the city called demoncity, which is translated as devil city.
There are almost 30,000 people living in this small town, 10,000 of whom are gang members, and the other 20,000 are ordinary people. In order to obtain resources, they can only live in the slavery of gangs.
Where there are gangs, there are gangs. Although the current gangs in the city are all under the jurisdiction of the American Gang Alliance, they each have their own territory. On weekdays, they will engage in fierce battles to snatch women for supplies.
The alliance headquarters will not interfere in this matter. Since it is a gang alliance, it is inevitable that many dirty things will happen.
Weng Lan and Qin Qicai had entered Richmond and arrived at the gate of Demon City at this time.
"I came to this place half a year ago. There are very good bars in the city. The dancers and champagne inside are very good, so I stayed here and have been reluctant to leave. But now it is time to say goodbye to this place. It's time to say goodbye.
After a while, I will go to the temporary residence to pack my things, and then I will take you away to Mount Shasta, which is now also called the City of Seven Swords. It is located in California. It is estimated to be thousands of kilometers away from here and it will take a long time to walk.
You can tell me your story on the way, what you have been doing these years, and which wild man does the child in your belly belong to? As far as I know, your former husband Qin An left the United States more than ten years ago. It can't be his, right?
You must be in your fifties now? He has not aged at all, which is enough to prove your relationship with him. After all, he is really capable, and it is not difficult to keep you young forever! "
Qin Qicai looked at the city gate and spoke lightly in Chinese.
Weng Lan frowned, filled with doubts.
"Do you know Qin An? And you know a lot about him? So after I said she was his wife, you let me go?"
Qin Qicai's face was calm and he still said calmly:
"Qin An? I don't know him, and I have never seen him before.
But I do know him.
This man came to the United States more than twenty years ago, looking for his wife.
He traveled to every corner of the United States, holding a portrait of your hand, and asked about you with almost every survivor.
At that time, his deeds were very sensational. No matter where he went, he could hear people talking about the story of a Chinese man looking for a wife.
But now most people have forgotten about him.
Life in the apocalypse is not easy, and people simply don’t have the energy to remember an infatuated fool. "
Weng Lan is not stupid, and he is a smart person.
She always felt that Qin Qicai's tone was strange, and she was sure that this young man must have some special relationship with Qin An.
But what does it matter?
Both of them had the surname Qin, and Weng Lan felt more and more that their looks seemed somewhat similar.
Could it be that they are
Weng Lan didn't dare to think about it anymore, because she was frightened by the conclusion in her mind, and she couldn't accept this fact.
"Let's go to the city!"
Qin Qicai didn't seem to intend to continue this topic with Weng Lan. He seemed calm at this time, but in fact, there was a fire in his heart. He wanted to bring the woman in front of him back to the City of Seven Swords as soon as possible, thus fulfilling their family's long-cherished wish for many years, which is to know everything about that mysterious man!
Taking big strides, Qin Qicai walked into the city, and Weng Lan could only keep up.
Devil City turned out to be a very prosperous apocalyptic town.
There are four blocks here, which means that there are four gangs taking over here.
The streets are full of stalls selling a variety of items, including food, water, old furniture and electrical appliances, as well as beautiful women and white slaves.
When Qin Qicai entered the city, he covered Weng Lan's face with a piece of black cloth, then took her away and said:
“After the apocalypse broke out, the U.S. government implemented an immigration plan called the ‘Crescent’.
They established a huge space base on the moon, and the upper class of the United States, as well as high-level leaders of some European, American, Japanese, Korean and other countries immigrated there.
Then among the remaining people in the United States, blacks and foreigners make up the majority, and these people naturally become the mainstream of society.
Before the end of the world, this country was a place with strong racial concepts. Although black people and foreigners were not tortured, they were not treated fairly in society.
Therefore, after the end of the world, when black people and foreigners become the mainstream of society, those white people who have not left will become the bottom class of society. They will be labeled as slaves and sold in the market, some for food, and some for food. Do hard work.
Have you been in the United States for many years? I believe everyone should understand this situation.
Humph, although you are not a peerless beauty, you are pretty good-looking.
Don't look around when walking. Although the young master is not a timid person, this is not my territory after all. It is better to avoid causing more trouble.
Don't worry, as long as you follow me closely, there will be no problem. There are rules here. If a woman is followed by a man, it proves that the woman has an owner, so generally there will be no human traffickers to distract you."
Listening to Qin Qicai's whispered words, Weng Lan was filled with curiosity and shock, and temporarily left the things that were bothering her behind.
Is this the end of the world? Can human trafficking be openly carried out? Moreover, some people who are bought are even used as food! This is absolutely terrifying.
What surprised Weng Lan the most was the US government’s immigration plan.
Therefore, Weng Lan interrupted Qin Qicai softly and said:
"The Americans actually built a space base on the moon? Is their technology so advanced?"
Although Qin Qicai is from the post-apocalyptic era, he has received a comprehensive education since childhood, so he knows many things about the pre-apocalyptic era.
"The Americans proposed a plan to establish a base on the moon in 1989.
It was also from that time that the construction of various ground experimental models began.
Before the apocalypse broke out in 2015, the preparation and construction of their lunar base had been basically completed, and all supporting components were available.
After the end of the world, they began to use spacecraft to transport various components to the moon one by one. It only took half a year to build a base called "Crescent City".
The huge garbage dump we just met is actually one of Crescent City's waste disposal stations. They will collect materials from the earth and other nearby planets for the construction of Crescent City, and then discard the waste to the earth.
Humph, they call themselves the New Human Race, and they got some superpowers from nowhere.
We call them Cyborgs, but they are a nasty bunch.
When I was very young, a group of reformers once went to Seven Swords City, but they were beaten away by my family and have not been seen since. "
After listening to Qin Qicai's explanation, Weng Lan was not only shocked but also shocked.
After all, her state of mind is still in 2015, so her ability to accept some bizarre events is not as strong as that of people in the apocalypse.
The two of them talked quietly like this, and then walked for forty minutes before arriving at a courtyard in the south of the Devil City.
"The south of the city is a wealthy area, so the houses here are relatively quiet. It costs a lot of gold coins to rent an independent housing building like this for a month!"
With a proud look on her face, Qin Qicai opened the courtyard door and walked inside, followed closely by Weng Lan.
As soon as I entered the yard, the aroma of food hit me.
Weng Lan looked over curiously and found that in the center of the yard, three strong men were barbecuing shirtless, while the two siblings, Katarina and Jax, were standing in the corner of the yard, not knowing why they were frightened. , his face looked pale at this time.
When the two discovered Weng Lan, they rushed forward.
Catalina directly hugged Weng Lan into her arms, and then spoke in English:
"Dear Lan, are you okay? I'm so worried about you!" While speaking, Catalina secretly glanced at Qin Qicai with her eyes.
Jax stood next to Catalina and Weng Lan, his expression still grim, but his eyes were staring at the fragrant slices of barbecue that the three strong men had placed on the grill.
Weng Lan took off the black cloth covering his face, then smiled at Catalina and said in jerky English:
"I'm fine! Don't be afraid, they don't seem too bad!"
The reason why Weng Lan said this was because Qin Qicai had not done anything excessive to her along the way. The more important reason was that she had already guessed the special relationship between this young man and Qin An.
At this time, Jax finally turned his eyes to Weng Lan, and then exhaled a long breath and said: "Lan, they are roasting human flesh!"
What!
Weng Lan was taken aback, his face suddenly turned pale, and then he looked at Qin Qicai blankly.
Although Qin Qicai's eyes did not fall on the three of them, he heard everything they said.
Feeling Weng Lan looking at him at this time, Qin Qicai pursed her lips and smiled slightly, and then said in Chinese:
"It seems that you have been living in a peach blossom garden these years and have no idea what this world is really like!
Using human flesh as an ingredient to entertain guests is now the highest level of reception ceremony.
In fact, I don't like to eat human flesh on weekdays. My upbringing is too strict, so I have no choice.
But I can't deny the deliciousness of human flesh.
Last time, Galen and the other three had a feast of barbecued human flesh, and I managed to eat a little of it. The meat was smooth but not greasy, and it was really delicious.
This time you are lucky, you can also eat such a delicacy in the world.
You're welcome, we're all good people! "
Weng Lan looked at Qin Qicai's evil smile from the side, and then looked at the barbecue on the fire rack. She couldn't help but feel nauseated, and then retched. I don't know if she was stimulated by Qin Qicai's words, or because she suffered from morning sickness during pregnancy.
What should I do? Will I be forced by this evil man to eat human flesh in a while?
Weng Lan's heart was extremely depressed. No matter what, she could never eat this kind of food!
Just when Weng Lan felt uncomfortable all over, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the courtyard gate where they had just entered, and then a man said in English:
"Qicai, you can't even call me Holden when you eat human flesh barbecue. Aren't you a little unfriendly?"
Horton? The leader of one of the four major gangs in Devil City, why is he here?
Qin Qicai frowned and turned around, only to see a tall black man walking into the yard, and there were dozens of people outside the yard, all with weapons in their hands. It was obvious that they were coming with bad intentions!
