Catastrophe

Chapter 6: Born in troubled times

Lin Xun saw the figures of the mercenaries from a distance, and turned his attention to Ning Zhe next to him: "Brother Zhe, these mercenaries are here, something very serious must have happened, should we go home?"

"I think they should have come after us. We robbed people in the city before. These guys must feel ashamed and want to find the robbers!" Ning Zhe hid behind a mound and said out his own analysis.

Although Ning Zhe is a rare cultural person in the refugee area, they and Mr. Lin also learned some simple arithmetic and hyphenation.

As for science, in this era of cultural gaps, only chaebols and powerful people can master and monopolize power, so that Ning Zhe has no idea how important the crystal he grabbed is called a chip.

"No way? How could these guys find our position? We went a long way to get rid of the pursuers!" Lin Xun did not agree with Ning Zhe's statement, let alone these mercenaries. Their location can be found so accurately.

"They may not be able to confirm our identity, but it is not difficult to find us! The refugee area at night is too dangerous, not everyone dares to leave the place of residence after dark! They only need to focus on the place where they were robbed and spread. Search the surrounding residential areas, determine the list of people who went out that night, and then arrest all of them to extract confessions!" Ning Zhe thought for a while and made his own response.

"If that's the case, should we go and hide?" Lin Xun heard the words, and a trace of tension flashed in his eyes.

For so many years, he was used to how the fortresses deal with the refugees. Not to mention, the dead Populus euphratica tree in the center of the market town alone has hanged countless people who have not been tried and are only suspected of being guilty. .

Born in troubled times, the lives of refugees are as cheap as grass.

"No! It seems that they haven't found the area where we live, so we have to go back quickly! Otherwise, it will be more troublesome if we are screened out!" Ning Zhe thought for a while, and quickly turned over to the roof of the next house. , The physique began to move, he didn't want to escape, and he couldn't escape, because on this wasteland, it was difficult for a lone wolf without a home to survive.

Lin Xun saw Ning Zhe's actions, and although he was uneasy, he followed up without hesitation.

The fortresses in the wasteland are controlled by major chaebols and companies. They are like huge cities surrounded by high walls. There are the happiest people in the world. They don’t have to worry about the attack of the beasts. There is also no need to worry about various disasters, as well as ball lightning and acid rain.

Of course, this statement is just a rumor. After all, people in the refugee area are not qualified to enter the fortress, and no one knows what it is like there. Ning Zhe has always sneered at the statement of the happiest person. It is difficult for him to believe that this world In Shangzhen, a place where everyone is equal, even if you have never entered the city, you can guess that there must be a class of three, six, and nine in it.

The No. 87 fortress has a "hui"-shaped structure. The innermost part is the urban area, and the outer circle is surrounded by various factories. This fortress covers an area of ​​more than 1,000 square kilometers and has dozens of exits on the outer wall.

In addition to the factories, there are also mining areas in the fortress, but they are all hundreds of thousands of kilometers away. It is said that the living environment is very harsh. The workers sent to remote areas are criminals and refugees who have been arrested.

For more than 90% of people in the refugee area, the only way to survive is to choose to work for the fortress, manage two meals a day, a potato for breakfast, a black bean cake for lunch, and provide one liter of drinking water per person per day, and Five bucks salary.

In this era, the price of goods is extremely expensive. A cotton-padded coat made of cotton mixed with jute fibers starts at three hundred.

After working for a few months, I can save money to buy a winter coat. Once I contract a disease, I can't afford the scarce and ridiculously expensive medicine, so I can only choose to die.

The living conditions of the refugees can be described as extremely difficult, but this is also the purpose of the powerful people in the city. They are using this half-dead method to keep the refugees alive and provide them with inexhaustible labor.

As for escaping, in this danger-riddled wilderness where no grass grows in most areas, not everyone has the blood and survivability of a person like Ning Zhe.

The fortress always advertised that they bless the nearby refugees, but Ning Zhe felt that those people in the fortress could not survive in this poor place. In fact, the refugees were supporting the group of vampires in the fortress.

To sum up, Ning Zhe has become one of the countless refugees, one of the few who has no desire for the fortress. Although he has never entered the city, he has no idea what it is like inside. In the current state, when he entered the city, he was still a slave.

Or a slave who has lost his freedom!

Shen Zhe and Lin Xun moved quickly against the night, and finally returned to the residence of the family's disciples before the search arrived.

The residence of the two of them, UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com, is in a large courtyard on the edge of the market town. It is an earthen house with a heated kang. The shacks in the village are much more sheltered from the wind.

"call!"

After Lin Xun entered the door, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension in his heart dissipated.

"Don't be stunned! Start the charcoal basin right away! Fast!" Ning Zhe ran to the edge of the kang and started to spread out the straw that was used as a quilt. The rolled-up metal knife picked up the foot wrap and lay on it.

Most of the refugees have no shoes.

"Brother? We don't have much charcoal left in our family! Why waste it?" Lin Xun heard this, his eyes were full of puzzlement.

The materials of the refugees are very poor. The charcoal they save is usually used for grilling food, and they have to be stored for heating in winter. This year's climate has changed a lot. Within a radius of 30 kilometers, those dead trees left in the old world, early. They have all been cut down, and it is foreseeable that many people will freeze to death this winter.

"The temperature in our room is too low. If the inspector enters the room, it is easy to find the flaws. Life and death are at stake, don't worry about resources!" Ning Zhe reached out and touched the straw under him, and found that it was difficult to make it fast. He heated up, took off his clothes and lay on it, thought about it, got up again, and urinated on his pants.

Seeing Ning Zhe's actions, Lin Xun also ran to the corner of the wall. After removing the loess on the ground, he lifted the cover and took out the hidden charcoal, and poured it into the clay charcoal basin.

"Tap Tap!"

While the two were preparing, a group of mercenaries, led by a middle-aged man, rushed into the courtyard in unison, and quickly rushed towards the earthen house where Ning Zhe was. ?
