Chapter 315 International Students
If there is anything Deng Hong regrets the most, it is coming to the United States to study. He was originally a top student at Beijing University in Xia. After graduating from college, he came to the United States to study at Ha'er University. He thought that after returning to his homeland, he could become a CEO, marry a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reach the peak of his life. He thought that he would encounter the end of the world. When the zombie virus broke out, Deng Hong called home, but neither his parents nor his grandparents answered the phone. He could not contact other relatives either. He knew that he might have become an orphan. He was sad, painful, and desperate. All kinds of pessimistic emotions directly broke him down.
When encountering a wave of zombies, Deng Hong thought it was better to die like this, so he took the initiative to cover the rear and let the classmates hiding in the school cafeteria escape first. He faced the zombies head-on and fought with the zombie group regardless of life and death. The circumstances of life are really very strange. People who seek death cannot die, and people who want to escape are killed by zombies halfway. Deng Hong originally thought that his final fate would be to become zombie poop. What he didn't expect was that he would become an evolver. Of course, he didn't know that he became an evolver at the time. He just used despair as strength to fight zombies. He evolved. His strength is ten times that of ordinary people, and his physical fitness has directly increased tenfold.
Deng Hong didn't know that he was a very rare evolver in the world, but he had also read the Internet and knew that his situation was very special. Since he had the ability to slaughter zombies and had the hope of returning to his motherland, he would not deliberately seek death.
After escaping from school, Deng Hong headed towards the Pacific Ocean. He experienced many hardships and met all kinds of people along the way. Because the United States did not ban guns, the entire United States was full of martial virtue after the outbreak of the doomsday. As long as there was a disagreement, guns would be fired at each other. Fortunately, Deng Hong was an evolver and did not encounter any danger, but his hands were covered in blood. ✸❋
On the way to the west Pacific coast, Deng Hong also met Xia people who came to the United States to do business or study abroad. If the other person has a good personality, he will help him if he sees someone from his country, but most of them are not worth helping.
Deng Hong originally thought that he could reach the seashore smoothly, then find a large ship that could sail far, and then find a group of Xia country crew members, so that he could cross the Pacific Ocean and return to his homeland. However, he found that he thought too much. When he was halfway there, the earth experienced the second doomsday crisis. Thousands of nuclear bombs were launched into the sky. Deng Hong saw it. Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and super tsunamis hit all coastal areas on the earth. When these crises on the earth stopped a little, Deng Hong sped up to the west coast. He found that the entire city on the west coast had become a ruin, and darkness enveloped the entire earth. The temperature dropped day by day. Even if he was an evolver, he dared not move outside in such an environment without wearing warm clothes.
Deng Hong gave up the way home. He knew that he could not cross the Pacific Ocean to return to Xia country by himself, even if the entire Pacific Ocean was frozen. When the temperature dropped to a level that humans could not bear, he found a base in the United States. This base was the official base of the United States. The entire base had a population of three million at the beginning, so he stayed in this base.
But after settling down in this base, Deng Hong began to regret it again. The main reason was that humans were really a race that wanted to die. The United States had serious racial problems before the end of the world. Basically, there was a small disturbance every day and a big disturbance every five days. After all, it was an immigrant country. It was even more serious in the doomsday era. Not long after Deng Hong stayed in this base, the official ruling class was overthrown by the people below. The new rulers were the actual controllers of major companies before the end of the world, that is, the chaebols, and some non-governmental organizations.
Originally, the new rulers were not much different from foreigners like Deng Hong. Anyway, they were all in power. However, what Deng Hong did not expect was that these new rulers drove all the Xia people, foreigners, South Americans, etc., basically all non-white races, to the first floor of the base, and directly closed the first passage to the second floor. The rulers of the base asked them to exchange materials for weapons and ammunition. This was because the weapons and ammunition manufacturing plants of the base were all on the fourth floor. The entire base had four floors, and now Deng Hong and his people could only stay in the first floor space.
In fact, even if he could only stay on the first floor of the base, it would not have a big impact on Deng Hong. After all, as the only evolver in the base, he could go out and hunt some mutant beasts or zombies without worrying about food. He could use his brain core to exchange some other materials with the rulers of the base.
It was just that Deng Hong's actions made many people jealous, but he was not afraid. When many lives were sacrificed and he could not do anything to him, everyone in the base knew that Deng Hong was a very abnormal person. No one dared to provoke him anymore. In this way, Deng Hong became an alien in this base.
The biological clock came, Deng Hong opened his eyes, he lifted the quilt covering himself, and suddenly felt much colder, as if he had gone from summer to winter. He now lived in a tent, which he made himself with canvas and wood. There was a bed inside, a fireplace on the side of the ground, and an iron pipe to allow the smoke from burning wood to pass outside, so that Deng Hong would not die from carbon monoxide poisoning when sleeping at night.
There are some other items in the tent, such as bowls and chopsticks. Of course, what Deng Hong is most satisfied with is the big wooden barrel in the tent. This barrel is for him to take a bath. He is the only one who can take such a luxurious bath in the entire first floor. Others have to save water. The base is not without water sources. The blood outside is several meters thick. The wood used to boil water must be collected outside at risk. Wood is very expensive. Moreover, boiled water cannot be drunk. It must be filtered before drinking. After all, these snows are impurities such as nuclear radiation dust or volcanic ash. If you drink it directly without filtering, it is easy to get sick. In such an era, getting seriously ill basically means death. Medicines are more precious than food.
Deng Hong washed up, took out the mutant beast meat left over from last night from a cabinet, put it in a pot, and then put the pot on the stove built next to the fireplace. This simple stove is his cooking tool. Pick out a few burning wood from the fireplace and start cooking the mutant beast meat.
Just as Deng Hong was busy making his breakfast, a man's voice came from outside.
"Brother Deng, are you up? I'm coming in."
The man outside did not wait for Deng Hong to reply, he pushed open the wooden door and came in. He was a handsome young man wearing glasses who looked only in his twenties. He looked very gentle and looked like a fresh graduate from college. His name was Du Ziteng. He was originally the president of the Xiaguo International Students Mutual Aid Association of Ha'ao University. Although he was not in the same college as Deng Hong, Deng Hong had heard of him before the end of the world. Du Ziteng is now considered a leader of the Xiaguo people.
Du Ziteng didn't say anything polite to Deng Hong. He sat on a stool very skillfully. There was a small wooden table next to the stool. Deng Hong put the pot directly on the wooden table. He took out a pair of bowls and chopsticks from the cabinet and handed them to Du Ziteng. He filled a spoon with mutant beast meat and said, "Why did you come to see me so early?"
"Can't I come to you if there's nothing to do?" Du Ziteng looked at Deng Hong's full bowl of meat and smelled the aroma of meat. His saliva was almost flowing down. Only Deng Hong would be so extravagant to eat mutant beast meat for every meal. Of course, only Deng Hong had the ability to eat so well. Du Ziteng saw Deng Hong's full bowl and said anxiously, "Oh, Brother Deng, leave some for me. I haven't had breakfast yet."
After filling his own big bowl, Deng Hong handed the spoon to Du Ziteng and started eating without paying attention to him. If the other party had anything to say, he would tell him, and he didn't ask any more questions.
Then the two of them didn't talk, just ate breakfast. Not long after, they finished a pot of mutant beast meat. Of course, most of it went into Deng Hong's stomach. Du Ziteng's eating speed couldn't catch up with Deng Hong.
"Speak, if you don't speak, I will go out hunting."
Deng Hong didn't want to waste time with Du Ziteng, so he asked directly. If it wasn't for the fact that he was from his own country and took good care of the old and weak in Xia Country in the base, how could Deng Hong look at him differently?
"Brother Deng, I received news that the group of people below have been making a lot of noise recently. This is a good opportunity for us on the first floor. Can you help us?" Du Ziteng stared at Deng Hong expectantly. It's not that the first floor has no weapons, but there is not much ammunition. This is because those people below deliberately control the number of their bullets to prevent the people on the first floor from rebelling. They are not without intelligence personnel below. Recently, they received news that several major forces in the management below have started fighting. This is their opportunity. They have had enough of being exploited by the people below. They live like beggars every day. Who doesn't want to live a good life?
However, Du Ziteng was still very clear-headed. Ever since he accidentally saw Deng Hong fighting a level 3 mutant beast and killing it, Du Ziteng knew that no one in the entire base was Deng Hong's opponent. He knew that even if there were hundreds of people with weapons, they would not be able to do anything to Deng Hong. He wanted to pull Deng Hong with him. Only when Deng Hong stood by their side would they have a chance to overthrow the rule of the lower privileged class.
Hearing Du Ziteng's words, Deng Hong sneered in his heart. Overthrowing the rule below, this is not the same as wanting to be a ruler. However, Deng Hong knew that Du Ziteng treated people from his country well. He thought that the base now had less than one million people due to the cold climate and several chaos. The population of the first floor was 500,000, of which 200,000 were of Xia nationality, accounting for the majority, and the rest were immigrants from all over the world. According to strength, Xia nationality was the first, which was also the biggest reliance of Du Ziteng's high power in the first floor.
The population of the lower levels should be less than 500,000. After all, in an era like the doomsday, staying in the underground base every day, the conditions of the base are many times worse than those of Gu Ming's base or Xia's base. I don't know how many people below are missing every day. It can be said that even if the people on the first level don't rebel, the rule may not last long.
"Do you have any plans?"
Deng Hong thinks that overthrowing the rule of those people is still a good thing for the Xia people. Otherwise, I don't know when the rulers below will have the idea of dying together. This is not impossible. After all, anything can happen in the doomsday.
"Thank you, Brother Deng, we will notify you when we take action."
Du Ziteng was actually quite confident that he could convince Deng Hong. After all, he had known what kind of person Deng Hong was for more than a year. To be honest, if he had Deng Hong's strength, he would have ruled this base long ago. Fortunately, the other party had no ambitions, Du Ziteng thought to himself. This was also the reason why he was confident that Deng Hong would participate in the action plan to overthrow the rule of the group of people in the base.
