Corrupted Nation

The three of them bypassed the small station and reached the other side of the open area where it was safer. They put down their backpacks and ordered VIP to sit down. VIP followed suit and did whatever he was asked to do.

Lin Meng took out the folding engineer shovel to be on guard. Lin Wu and Maya returned to the handcart position lightly, opened the buckle of the handcart, and the two of them worked together to lift the handcart from the rails.

The handcart is not very heavy, but the road they are walking on is uneven and overgrown with weeds, so it is somewhat difficult. To Lin Ma's surprise, the station's broadcast would emit some noise from time to time, attracting zombies to the station.

Lin Mengren was on the other side, leaning on several bags. He pressed the intercom on his shoulder and transmitted the sound through the headset, reporting: "There is someone in the second house watching us."

Maya: "Be careful with bows and arrows."

Unexpectedly, the door of the second house opened, and a woman in red clothes walked out of the door, waved to Lin Meng, and walked straight towards Lin Meng. Lin Meng immediately became nervous: "Do you want to strike first?"

Maya was out of reach: "Use your own judgment. Lin Wu, put it down and take a breath."

The two of them put down the handcart gently, and Maya looked at her palms, which were already bruised.

Lin Wu said on the intercom: "Logically speaking, she chose to appear when I was the farthest away from you, so she can't be considered a friendly person. I think she will have a few words with you, and I suggest that she show up before she speaks. Kill her. As long as you don’t know her good and evil, you won’t feel any pressure after killing her.”

There is a video where a man wearing sunglasses on the subway kept staring at the low-cut part of a beautiful woman, which made the beautiful woman very uncomfortable, and eventually she slapped the man. The man was stunned. He reached out and picked up the guide stick beside him and stood up carefully, as if he was leaving out of fear. This caused the beauty to feel extremely guilty.

Lin Wu's theory: The beauty slapped him and left immediately, regardless of whether he was wronged or not. The situation is the same now. Don't care whether the beautiful woman wants to kiss you or kill you. Just kill her first.

It's not that Lin Wu has changed his mind, but that in the apocalypse, the human heart is scarier than zombies. When good meets evil, good must be injured first. In this case, it is better to become a bad person and at least survive.

Maya did not refute Lin Wu's statement. There was a tacit understanding between her and Nightmare that if you don't shoot, I won't fight back. But she couldn't ask her companions to have such restrictions when communicating with strangers. After all, a meeting could mean life or death.

Seeing the woman in red approaching Lin Meng, Lin Ma became nervous, but Lin Meng did not fire. Until the woman in red walked 5 meters away and said hello as she walked, Lin Meng still didn't make a move. Fortunately, no accident occurred, and Lin Meng and the woman in red had normal communication.

The woman in red is named Xiaohong. She is 35 years old. She buried her sick husband the day before yesterday and followed the refugee group to the Western Peninsula. Camping nearby last night, a team of hundreds of people encountered a zombie attack. Everyone worked together to eliminate a dozen zombies.

Xiaohong is a surgeon who takes the initiative to bandage injured people. During the bandaging process, she discovered that many people were hiding their injuries. Even though their trousers were bleeding, they said they were not injured, and they were not alone. One of the suspected infected persons was the wife of the leader of the group of refugees. The leader asked Xiaohong to cut off the flesh near his wife's wound and bandage it. Finally, the leader gave Xiaohong a pack of biscuits and warned Xiaohong not to talk nonsense, otherwise she would be killed.

So in the early morning, Xiaohong quietly left the refugee group. I walked two kilometers back according to my memory and entered a village after crossing the bridge. Why didn't the zombies spread to the village and Xiaohong was able to reach the village safely? The reason is that crackling electronic music will sound from time to time on the station's broadcast. This radio is similar to some rural street lights and is equipped with small solar panels, so it can work intermittently.

Xiaohong originally planned to stay here temporarily and turned over the soil in front of the house this morning, but then she discovered that there were wild beasts at night. Xiaohong followed the footprints to the side of the mountain and found four remains near the small ditch on the side of the mountain. From this she knew that there were ferocious beasts that had eaten people nearby. Once a beast eats a human, it will treat humans as prey in the future, so she plans to stay one more night and dig some wild vegetables or grass roots during the day to use as food on the road.

The reason why she came to Lin Meng was naturally that she hoped to get help, at least some food, and at best, she could be sent to the Western Peninsula.

After hearing this, Maya said: "Xiao Hong, you may not be able to get on the boat if you go to the Western Peninsula."

Xiaohong nodded: "Try your luck, after all, doctors are needed everywhere."

"Yes, we also need a professional doctor." Maya briefly introduced her base and said: "We can send you to the Western Peninsula. Before this trip, I had planned to recruit a doctor among the refugees. “Farmers can cultivate it, and inferior farm products grown by disadvantaged farmers can also be eaten. Plumbers, electricians, etc. can all be used to deal with it. Only doctors can't do it. The cycle of training a doctor is very long, and it's impossible to train doctors with patients.

Currently, there are ten people working at the railway bridge and four people working at the mountain forest base, but there is still no professional doctor. After getting sick, you can only take medicine randomly. Who would dare to imagine that the only person who has performed surgery is Lin Wu, so the base has a rigid demand for doctors. Even if they are born in the 180s, Xiao Wu and the others still need doctors. The veteran base only has first responders and no doctors.

Maya's words are ambiguous and seem to be contradictory, but in fact it shows that she is hesitant in her heart. She does not want to recruit Xiao Hong directly, because Xiao Hong still has hope for the future and has a way out. She wants to live on an island in the inland sea. Maya wants to recruit a doctor who has lost hope for the future, preferably tomorrow, so that this doctor can stay at the railway bridge base for a longer period of time. This is the marginal effect of happiness.

Sure enough, Xiaohong was not very interested in the railway bridge base and the gathering point for survivors in the city, but she agreed to find a doctor with superb medical skills for Maya and the other refugees after arriving in the Western Peninsula. This sentence is a bit too much. After all, doctors with truly superb medical skills should be VIPs and can board the ship without queuing. However, Maya still has a certain amount of trust in her after the conversation.

Lin Malin held a small meeting and left Lin Wu behind. The three of them and the VIP went to the Western Peninsula. Lin Wu was left behind not because Lin Wu was useless, but because Lin Wu was the most likely person to survive in this environment.

Why not throw away Xiaohong? Because Maya knows that there are not many opportunities to recruit doctors, Xiaohong, as a good doctor, has the ability to select a professional doctor for the railway bridge base, a doctor who can still treat illnesses and save lives without medical equipment.

Putting the handcart back on the track, Lin Wu waved goodbye to a few others and wished them good luck. He took two bags and headed to Xiaohong's residence last night, a private house in the middle of the village.

Lin Wu thought that the house Xiaohong chose was not a good one, because everyone knew with the naked eye that this house was good. Lin Wu was more worried about the survivors than the beasts, so he first built an alarm at a good house using empty cans, and then ransacked the house. It must be said that Lin Wu was very professional. He quickly found two venomous snakes and a hunting knife beside the kitchen stove.

Continuing to scroll through, Lin Wu admired Xiaohong for being able to stay for one night without dying. The basement of the house has become a snake den with a large number of snake eggs. Snake skins were found on the eaves and under the beds. It can also be seen from this situation that the house has not been occupied for a long time.

Lin Wu looked around a few rooms and chose the cellar in the backer's house that was used to store grain. The cellar is about 20 square meters, and the entrance is on the side of the house. It is very clean inside, with nothing except broken spider webs.

Cut down some firewood, use a piece of iron wire to make a hook, find a pot, and use the engineer shovel to get some snakes. After sunset, Lin Wu took the snake meat and went into the cellar to lock it. He would not go out tonight unless something happened. As for physiological needs, they can be solved by digging holes in the cellar. The only thing that worried Lin Wu was poisoning caused by poor ventilation, so the fire could not be lit for a long time.

…

Snakes are both dangerous hunters and delicious food. This is the law of the jungle. Whoever is stronger will be superior to other species and even the same kind.

Whenever he goes out, Lin Wu has cloth strips wrapped around key parts of his hands and feet, which can only be removed when bathing and resting. This is also a hard rule of the railway bridge. In addition, he carries anti-bite gloves. When encountering zombies, he will wear anti-bite gloves on his left hand, and his lower arm and hand become his shield. The right hand should not wear gloves because it will seriously affect the flexibility of the hand.

Needless to say, boots and calves are well protected. The folding engineer shovel in Lin Wu's hand was a gift from his daughter. It is sturdy, durable and has many uses. In this case, the snake house became Lin Wu's food source.

According to the plan, after Maya arrived in the Western Peninsula, she would complete the mission by sending the VIP to the naval station. Maya will, with the help of Xiao Hong, choose a doctor among the refugees to return to the Railway Bridge Base. The situation seemed to be going smoothly. Around ten o'clock in the morning, the system prompted that the task at the railway bridge base was completed. Currently, a new collective mission has been created at the Railway Bridge Base, but members who are not within the scope of the Railway Bridge cannot enjoy the base mission bonus.

In order to welcome the team returning from the Western Peninsula, Lin Wu prepared a snake meat hot pot made with instant noodles seasoning. At five o'clock in the afternoon, kill the snake and get the meat. Cut the meat into pieces and boil the pot. Unexpectedly, it would be nine o'clock in the evening and the meat would almost go bad. Lin Wu had no choice but to put the meat into the pot. The team was only equipped with a satellite phone and he could not contact Maya and the others, but Lin Wu believed that Maya's team must be in trouble.

The troubles in the doomsday are basically divided into two types, one is trouble that can be solved, and the other is trouble that cannot be solved. The latter is likely to represent death. As mentioned before, there is no such thing as cannibalism and body trading in the game, and even nightmares forcing others to confess will induce the Little White Rabbit to intervene. Therefore, people only have labor value and no other value. Even if both parties agree to a transaction, the little white rabbit will directly intervene. Just like the nightmare interrogation, Little White Rabbit decides that the interrogation is over and the other party must confess.

Previously, there was a beautiful woman in the subway station who wanted to exchange her body for a pistol. Once she started, the little white rabbit would appear, determine that the transaction was successful, and give her the gun. There is no process in the process, but it is not necessarily without results. For example, the body gains a weakness BUFF.

In an apocalypse without law and order, Maya and the others must speak with their fists if they encounter trouble. The winner takes all, and the weak should survive with their tail between their legs. In other words, there is a high possibility that Maya will die. Of course, you may encounter troubles on the road and it will take time to resolve them.

When he woke up, it was already seven o'clock in the morning on the third day. Lin Wu walked out of the room and saw a tiger at first sight. The tiger was about 30 meters away from him and was drinking water from a stream near where the remains were found. Lin Wu had experience in hunting tigers, so he didn't panic at all. He pulled out two pistols and waited for the tiger to come. To him, tigers were just big and fierce. As long as they were violent or the tiger got close, they would basically die. I can only bet that you can't get close.

The tiger looked at Lin Wu. He didn't know what he was thinking and didn't make much movement. Lin Wu saw that the tiger couldn't get over, so he passed by himself. He brought two pistols, one of which was a revolver. The .45APC pistol bullet used in the revolver was very powerful, but the rate of fire was slow. Every time a shot was fired, the pistol could not suppress the upward movement. The other pistol has a 9mm standard bullet. After being modified by Xiaonu, it has a firing rate of nearly 60 rounds per minute.

When Lin Wu approached 20 meters away, the tiger turned around and ran away, escaping into the forest without a trace. I don't know if he is afraid of Lin Wu or if he doesn't want to eat Lin Wu.

Lin Wu laughed and walked back to fetch water from a pot, preparing to boil some water. As soon as I returned to the creek, a bear roar came from the woods, and a drop of cold sweat flowed down my forehead. True hardcore is no different than other modes. A slap from a black bear can break half of your ribs. Lin Wu held a pot in one hand and a gun in the other. He looked warily at the nearby woods and stepped back step by step.

I originally wanted to wait another day. Not only is snake meat available here, but maybe I can also eat tiger meat. Considering the possibility of a black bear, Lin Wu ate breakfast in a hurry, packed a bag with non-necessities and put it in the cellar, picked up another bag and walked along the railway track toward the Western Peninsula.

After walking a few hundred meters, Lin Wu reached the rope bridge. This is a bridge pulled up by steel cables. Planks are laid on the bridge deck, with a load capacity of one ton. Lin Wu thought about it for a while with a hacksaw in his hand, but finally gave it up and moved on.

Most of these railway tracks along mountains and rivers are old railway tracks, and their advantage is that there are almost no tunnels. Modern railway tracks are very fast. More than 70% of railway tunnels built in mountainous areas have no scenery at all.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Lin Wu walked to a railway maintenance point, which was a place for on-duty accommodation for railway maintenance workers. In front of it was the Western Peninsula Cross-sea Railway Bridge, and a freight train was visible on the railway bridge.

Lin Wu entered the maintenance point and soon discovered the handcart used by Maya and the others. Maya and Lin Meng knew that the front was impassable, so they put the handcart into the house first. Lin Wu also found traces of them making fires and spending the night.

I spent the night here the night before yesterday and walked into the Western Peninsula yesterday morning. I completed the task at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, but I have never returned. Lin Wu searched the rest area of ​​the maintenance point again and found no other clues, so he pulled on his mask and walked along the railway track towards the Western Peninsula.
