What does Lu Chuan venture from the city to the survivors' stronghold?
People.
What Lu Chuan did was actually human.
A survivor with technology and knowledge.
They may be a lack of survival skills, and they are a burden in the last days, but in Lu Chuan's eyes, it is not always the case. They are like a huge fortune that can create countless wealth for themselves.
If it wasn't for them, Lu Chuan could have developed little by little and advanced little by little in the center of the city.
Venturing here, Lu Chuan also raised his heart.
Now that we have entered the stronghold, the first step is to find enough technical talents; the second step is how to let them leave the stronghold with me; the third step is to place them.
The placement in the Third Step, Lu Chuan has already thought about it, there will be no problem.
The negative fourth and negative five floors of the biochemical factory have tens of thousands of square meters of space, so it is not a problem to accommodate them.
With the structure of the biochemical factory and their own control over the biochemical factory, it is impossible for them to leave without their permission.
This is only temporary, Fourth Step, Lu Chuan will also pick a place and use zombies to create an insurmountable area.
For example, if a community is transformed in a city, all directions are zombies made by a biochemical factory, which completely surrounds the community and becomes a huge cage.
It looks very inhuman, but compared to being in this stronghold, it is heaven.
At least they are not short of food and there is no risk of starvation.
The more they contribute, the stronger they become when the time comes and the larger the area they cover. When the time comes, their activity space will be bigger.
Like a virtuous circle, it is actually mutually beneficial.
In the early stage, it seems that Lu Chuan is imprisoning them, but in the long run, they will gain freedom that they do not have in the last days.
The future is farther, who can tell?
...
This world, many things, cannot be seen through the surface.
For example, this stronghold where Lu Chuan is now.
From the outside, it keeps human survivors safe and provides a shelter.
It's not wrong to describe it like this, it's actually true.
But what about the facts?
Lu Chuan realized the cruelty of the end times when he walked here, because this stronghold adopts the semi-slave system. Anyone who wants to live and who has no ability, the only thing he can do is to become the slave of the powerful.
The stronghold was initially composed of surviving humans, scattered and unorganized, and was temporary.
But as time goes by, there are more and more survivors gathered here. Under the interests and under the human nature, the thrill of the battle, I don't know how many people did not die in the zombie In the hands of others, they were killed by the same kind.
The several forces that were generated finally supported this stronghold.
The scale of hundreds of thousands of people, more than half of them belong to slaves of several forces.
There are fewer and fewer free human beings.
It is certain that in another three years, the stronghold will enter a complete slave society.
In the stronghold, Lu Chuan saw some temporary regulations.
For example, if any theft is discovered, the person with the status of the slave will be executed; and the person with the free status will be forced to become the slave and the lowest level.
Don't think that free human beings will live well, most of them live a life that is far worse than slaves.
Slave still has a bite to eat, but if a free human being can't find a job to earn food, what is waiting is hunger, and no one will pity the death starvation.
Either leave the stronghold and go to the outside world to find food, or become a slave.
The third option is starvation.
Once you leave the stronghold, the stronghold will charge a certain tax rate, so many people can't afford it, they can only wander outside, and eventually they are found by zombies and become food for zombies.
Through this method, the intention of the stronghold is already obvious, that is, to let the survivors who have a civilized society struggle in this torture and tribulation until the last breath is worn away, and the survivors will be given to the survivors. Branded as a slave.
When you become a slave, you will be driven by people desperately.
Some people with strong physiques will be selected and trained to become armed men under them.
These armed personnel will be responsible for the security of the stronghold, suppress slaves, hunt zombies, plunder resources and replenish strongholds, etc.
Some slaves will be invested in manufacturing factories, making guns and weapons, and making all the items they need.
Approaching the base, Lu Chuan knew that a lot of farmland was reclaimed and planted with crops. A large number of slaves are arranged to work in this farmland.
The existence of zombies, especially some zombies with powerful flying ability, has become the most dangerous source. Survivors working in farmland have a very high mortality rate because they are not protected.
The crops in the farmland are completely irrigated by the survivors with their lives and blood.
And these grains are generally only supplied to the leaders of the upper class.
The people at the bottom live a life inferior to pigs and dogs, but the leaders at the top live a luxurious life far beyond the imagination of the ordinary person.
In this stronghold, it will not be heaven, but the edge of hell.
As for the coming of the end times.
In fact, not many people here know about it. They only know that zombies appeared silently, and then, it was completely out of control chaos.
In just one day, people without immunity have all become zombies.
zombie chases survivors, survivors run away.
Same as in the novel.
The powerhouse survives and the weak become food for zombies.
Because of the collapse of the world, and things have already happened, who will investigate how the end times came and how did the virus come? With this energy, it is better to think about how to live.
Zombie's recklessness leaves the survivors only trapped on one side, with little understanding of the outside world.
In this case, who can tell the source of the virus, or what the outside world is like?
...
"Listen to everyone, this person is cheating and cheating."
"According to the law, now give Executed."
"This man is an example for those who do not obey the law."
When Lu Chuan walked to a street in the stronghold, a dozen armed men were on the way. Carrying a gun and a crossbow, a man with disheveled hair was shouting something loudly.
This man is thin and bony, and at first glance it can be seen that long-term malnutrition, coupled with starvation, has tortured him into a human form.
On this man's body, the clothes he was wearing were in tatters, not a single piece was good.
It's full of dirt, and I don't know how long it's been since I took a shower.
For the word execution, the man didn't even move his eyes, as if it had nothing to do with him.
There are a lot of survivors on the street, some of them are watching with interest, some are numb to no emotion. More people are watching all this indifferently.
Execution, in this stronghold, every day all will be staged, there is nothing surprising.
The society piled up like a pyramid, at the lowest level, in the eyes of Leader, they are just objects that can be slaughtered at will.
No one took pity on this man who was about to be executed, because they still lacked someone to pity him.
After the sentence was pronounced, a powerful brawny man with Confucius stood in front of the man with a big mountain knife.
An armed man pressed the man's head and exposed his neck.
"Do you know his identity? The former deputy director of the Finance Bureau is now a slave."
"No matter how noble you were in the past, here, there is only one Identity, this is slave. In the stronghold, you don't need your knowledge, all you need is your strength and security."
The armed man headed by is still talking loudly.
All of this is a means of shocking the upper class.
Use this method to warn those insecure people.
The headed man finished speaking, his hand lightly made a downward cut.
"Ha..."
brawny man raised the big mountain knife and cut it fiercely.
The head was chopped off and rolled to the ground. Bright red blood spurted out, and the broken part was even darker red, and some arteries could be seen moving in the violent contraction, which looked hideous.
From beginning to end, it seems that this is just a play, not the end of a life.
Everything is so normal, in the eyes of many people, even think that this man is relieved.
After the head was chopped off, the body was packed in a burlap bag and taken away quickly.
The blood on the street, no one cares, but let it dry up on the street.
The occurrence of all this has left Lu Chuan in shock all the time. He never thought that the beheading execution, which was unique in ancient times, would be staged here. When the knife rises and falls, the head falls.
Lu Chuan has seen countless disgusting zombies, but the impact they bring is far less than the beheading scene in front of him.
Chu Bin, who followed Lu Chuan, looked as usual.
Like this scene, when the stronghold was officially divided up in the first two or three years, when the power was just established, it was even more commonplace. In the last two years, people have accepted this identity, and there has been less resistance.
