Chapter 212 Hungry Ghost Doomsday Ideal Town and Joint Defense Force

Chapter 212 "Hungry Ghosts' End of the World" Ideal Town and Joint Defense Force

At night.

In a simple farmhouse in the Economic Development Zone of Lianhua City, little Alan, with layers of cloth wrapped around his hands, devoured the pigeon meat that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!

His cheeks were rosy, his limbs were intact, and he was in good physical condition. Compared with those humans who died of poisoning or were transformed, he was a blessing in disguise.

Next to him sat Jiang Qian, who was wiping his weapons, and Xue Yang, who was packaging food for emergency use.

"Are you full?"

Jiang Qian placed the various sharp weapons that had been wiped, and came to sit cross-legged in front of little Alan.

Seeing Jiang Qian approaching, little Alan quickly ate the last bit of minced meat, swallowed it hastily, and stared at Jiang Qian nervously.

Although Jiang Qian did save him from the brink of infection, it did not prevent him from still being afraid of Jiang Qian.

"Don't be nervous," Jiang Qian was completely different from when he was killing people. "Continue with the story of the 'leader' you just told me."

After the battle ended during the day, the rescued little Allen humiliated Jiang Qian and his partner to reveal the location of his human settlement "Ideal Town" in order to save his life.

So Jiang Qian agreed to take him on the road and continued to discuss the following important questions:

What is the environment of Ideal Town?

How do humans survive and interact, including: the composition of the settlement, religious beliefs, whether there is a leader, and how to cooperate?

Knowing that the other party has the technology to extract the secretions of the crawlers, he asked about the development and possibility of other advanced technologies.

In addition to settlements like Ideal Town, have you heard of other human settlements, etc.?

Jiang Qian wanted to know more specifically about the living conditions of the residents in Lotus City under the current worldview.

And this will definitely help him to respond to various crises and obstacles in the next 70-day exploration cycle.

Before leaving the city and finding his current place of residence, little Allen reluctantly answered the first two questions.

First of all, Ideal Town was established two years ago, and it is located in the First Middle School of Lotus City.

It is said that one year after the disaster, the "leader" led an armed team to capture this place, built fortifications here, recruited scavengers with various skills, and made full use of them to form a settlement of various technical talents.

Little Alan and his father drifted here a year ago and chose to join Ideal Town.

So far, his father has died in a mission, and he has become a child "raised" by Ideal Town.

The leader hopes that Ideal Town, just like its name, can leave a piece of pure land for the remaining humans in this world: keep yourself, stay away from the greedy "beasts" in the outside world, and obtain certain survival resources through labor cooperation.

In fact, this is also the case. Most people with special skills have a safer and more stable living environment here than the outside world.

Little Alan's father is a doctor. Initially, Ideal Town took them in to live here because they saw his father's ability and value.

Later, his father died, and Little Alan's extraordinary memory and reading ability were discovered, and he also won the favor of the leader.

Yes, Ideal Town has a leader.

Interestingly, the code name of this leader is "Leader" Benxiu, which is not modest at all.

Although the entire Ideal Town has freedom of religious belief, everyone subconsciously trusts the leader the most. Because the leader controls the armed forces and technology of the entire settlement, the leader's decisions are always correct, and the leader also has a strong personal charm and demeanor.

In Ideal Town, everyone wants to see the leader, because the leader has the power to inspire people and wash away the haze!

He can always guide people's hearts to the light.

…

When hearing little Alan talking about these, his eyes burst into a fascinated luster unconsciously.

This shows that even a child like little Alan admires the leader of Ideal Town, which shows that the other party has indeed achieved the ultimate in interpersonal interaction and influence.

"She is a woman who is close to perfection! Beautiful and dignified, full of love, knows every aspect of Ideal Town, and she knows everything."

Little Alan used countless positive words to describe the leader of Ideal Town.

Jiang Qian and Xue Yang looked at each other, and caught the same content from each other's eyes: The leader of Ideal Town is a woman?

Indeed, those who can think of naming the settlement "Ideal Town" have some romantic sentiments.

But this female leader was described by Xiao Allen as too "perfect", as if she had both extremely high romantic sentiments and was good at technical and management skills that required extremely high rationality, which made Jiang Qian somewhat unable to grasp the true characteristics of this person.

Of course, more importantly, Xiao Allen's description alone is not enough to form effective intelligence.

"So the situation inside the ideal town is: everyone is arranged by the leader to do different types of work, each using their strengths, and exchange the required survival resources through "labor."

"And the so-called types of labor are roughly divided into two types, one is production experiments, and the other is outbound missions; the remuneration for production experiments is fixed, and the remuneration for outbound missions will be assessed based on the degree of danger each time, and then the remuneration will be distributed based on the completion situation, is that right?"

"That's right." Xiao Allen nodded.

"Then why did your father choose to go out on a mission?" Jiang Qian heard the slightly contradictory part in it, and wanted to use this to confirm the authenticity of what Xiao Allen said.

Hearing this question, Xiao Allen's eyes dimmed.

Whispered: "Because I'm sick. And our savings and my father's salary are not enough to exchange enough antibiotics for me. So my father chose a more risky mission, but he was inexperienced..."

Little Allen didn't finish, but Jiang Qian and Xue Yang understood.

It can be seen from this that the so-called rule of ideal town to exchange survival resources through labor is actually impossible to meet the needs of everyone.

The current world is still in a state of extreme scarcity.

Even the valuable "labor" of doctors can't get enough antibiotic resources for their children. Such a settlement is enough to be called an "ideal town".

After this topic, they finally talked about what Jiang Qian and Xue Yang care about most: technology!

Especially the technical achievements related to dealing with crawlers.

"In addition to the 'secretions' that can confuse the smell of crawlers, I heard that the research team has also formulated a drug to exterminate crawlers, but it is in the trial stage. Except for the leader and core scientists, no one knows the specific effect..."

When mentioning the female leader, little Allen's eyes glowed with a strange look again.

This is a "hot news" for Jiang Qian and Xue Yang.

Killing the creepers in batches, if proven to be effective, could be an important weapon for humans to "turn the tables". Of course, it could also be a scam, a big pie that would make all the residents excited and ready to go through fire and water... Jiang Qian weighed the pros and cons in his heart: it was necessary to go to Ideal Town to find out.

Just as they were talking about the key point, a loud noise suddenly came from a distance!

Jiang Qian and Xue Yang stood up and looked out the window of the farmhouse, only to see flames rising to the sky in the direction of the center of Lotus City.

It seemed that an explosion had occurred there.

Jiang Qian immediately shifted his gaze to focus on little Alan who was standing aside in a daze: "In your opinion, is this something that Ideal Town can do?"

Little Alan was stunned and shook his head: "I heard it very clearly. What can kill the crawlers in batches is the potion... Gunpowder can't kill them! As long as the 'Queen' is still there, they can continue to multiply and spread. Gunpowder can only reduce their number temporarily, but it is impossible to exterminate them..."

He was stunned for a while, and seemed to think of something again, and added:

"Maybe it's a clearance operation of the joint defense force. Only they have lethal weapons of this scale..."

"Joint defense force, clearance operation?" Jiang Qian savored these two new terms.

The explosion sounded again!

The continuous explosion sound was endless, and the fire in the distance was grand and dense! What followed was a strange burnt smell floating in the air...

After the explosion sounded, Little Allen continued to explain:

"It is the current security unit! It is known as the last bastion of mankind. It is composed of survivors from many countries. It has established a central integrated weapons transportation system, regularly kills crawlers in batches with large weapons, and releases the living space of mankind in a planned way..."

"It is equivalent to the official troops of this world?"

"Official troops... Well, you can say that. They will also send people to Ideal Town for inspection frequently, because they need to regularly count the number of remaining survivors for the convenience of conscription."

Official agencies maintain contact with various settlements. Well, it turns out that this is the operating mode... Jiang Qian quickly stored the newly acquired information and concepts in his brain.

Through communication, he has gradually discovered the difference of this chestnut-haired boy.

He "knows" a little too much.

The content he revealed to Jiang Qian and the others during the contact exceeded the scope of a teenager who does not need to work.

This may be related to his ability and identity as a "child prodigy". Of course, the possibility of "making up stories" is not ruled out.

The explosions in the distance were still going on in waves.

Jiang Qian silently calculated the next move: At present, 20 super-species players have begun to move around in Lotus City and the surrounding areas.

With this random activity, the opportunities for the three parties to interact will increase exponentially, and the countless possibilities that are born may lead to many new clues and causes and effects.

This "chemical reaction" will only intensify over time.

Until a new pattern will soon be formed between super-species players, human aborigines, and crawlers.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qian suddenly realized the trap of game logic:

The interaction between super-species players, human aborigines, and crawlers is continuous, and every accidental small result will become the cause of another event, thus forming a new result... Therefore, every day since the start of the copy, even every moment of the information is changing dramatically!

If you don't actively "participate in the game" and participate in the deduction process, you will be completely discarded by the chain reaction of the high-speed deduction of the copy!

Want to hide somewhere and wait for the final profit? This strategy is absolutely not feasible.

72 days, it is likely to be a dangerous hint!

"Old Jiang... Old Jiang?"

"Hmm?"

Jiang Qian collected his thoughts and saw Xue Yang and Little Allen staring at him curiously at the same time.

"What are you thinking about? You look so serious." Xue Yang said to Jiang Qian in Chinese.

At this time, Little Allen would stare at the two people's communication like a wooden man.

"I want to go to Ideal Town to take a look." Jiang Qian said simply.

"Ideal Town... I knew that you must still be worried about what this kid said. I also think he is a little bit wrong. This kid knows too much." Xue Yang said, glancing at Little Allen.

The latter still stared blankly at a certain place on the ground.

"In addition to confirming the authenticity of this information, I also want to see if it has been discovered or occupied by other players."

Jiang Qian confessed his considerations:

"I am still more concerned about the potion that can exterminate creepers. If that kind of medicine really exists and is put into use recently, then the pattern of this world will rapidly change."

"In addition, I am also concerned about whether it will harm super-species players; because so far, we have not found any existence in this copy that can pose a huge threat to super-species players."

"But now the real difficulty is not entering the ideal town. If there is enough food, we can even flatten it. But even if we do this, we may not necessarily obtain the most valuable secrets."

Jiang Qian looked at Little Allen and said to Xue Yang in Chinese:

"The difficulty is..."

Halfway through the conversation, Jiang Qian and Xue Yang were alert at the same time.

Not far from the farmhouse where the three were, there was a buzzing sound of a car driving from far to near, and - gunshots!

Almost at the same time as the gunshots were heard, Jiang Qian suddenly fell to the side.

He raised his head from the shadows under the surprised gaze of Xue Yang and Little Allen. The left corner of his forehead was covered with snake scales, which continued to spread from the corner of his forehead to his cheeks...

Jiang Qian's hand was clenched on his left forehead, and blood plasma flowed from his clenched palm along his wrist.

He opened his palm expressionlessly, holding a flattened "bullet" in it - a sniper rifle bullet!

"Old Jiang!" Xue Yang said in surprise, but Jiang Qian raised his hand to stop him from moving forward. The other side has a sniper.

Even Little Allen was stunned by this scene.

The strange change of snake scales growing on a person's skin caused him to have a strong physiological reaction!

Then, a cold and hard voice came from outside the farmhouse:

"Listen to the people inside! This is the joint defense force..."

...

PS:

The typos and defects will be corrected later.

Sorry to everyone. After Yang died, the update has not been strong. I also moved across provinces with my pet. The many trivial matters and physical exhaustion every day have indeed affected my writing state. These things have not been completely finished yet... But I will find a way to resume the double update.

The volume may be a little short at the beginning, and it will gradually increase later. I will try my best to complete the plot clearly in a concise length, and do my best to write all aspects of expectations and excitement.

There will definitely be fine-tuning, which is being carried out in the past two days. You can keep it up...

I want to write something new for you in each dungeon, even if it will increase the probability of failure. This is what I think I must do. Regardless of success or failure, I will write a summary of several dungeons after this dungeon, reporting the results so far and the experience gained by newcomers in the past few months.
