The Science Fiction World of Xueba

In the evening, at the end of the wasteland, a large building complex appeared faintly.

On the outskirts of the building complex, there is also a wall defense line under construction. In the setting sun, the surviving people are busy on the wall like an ant colony, and there are many armed men holding guns to maintain order.

A checkpoint was set up on the wall near the road, and two M1A2 Abrams main station tanks were deployed in the checkpoint, as well as several Stryker armored vehicles.

In addition, there are heavy firepower equipment such as heavy machine guns, recoilless guns, and anti-tank missiles.

Pang Xuelin couldn't help being secretly surprised. This survivor settlement is the best equipped and relatively stable human stronghold he has seen since traveling through most of the United States.

But this is also understandable, Colorado, like Utah, is one of the least populated states in the United States.

The population of the state is less than 2.5 million, and the land is sparsely populated. There are also national parks such as the Grand Canyon of Colorado that cover a large area.

Therefore, establishing a stronghold here is a very good choice.

I don't know who the so-called head of the town of Irwin is. Being able to establish such a settlement here shows that the other party is not bad.

Pang Xuelin's car stopped about ten meters away from the checkpoint. Soon, the armed guards around the checkpoint also surrounded him. One of the tanks even aimed its tank gun at Pang Xuelin's Ford F550 armored vehicle.

Pang Xuelin got out of the car with an M4 carbine, and a man with a scar on his face came up, pointed the gun at Pang Xuelin and said, "Put down all your weapons and equipment, and report your name, origin, and coming to Irwin Town." the goal of."

Pang Xuelin put down his gun and said: "My name is Pang Xuelin, and I'm from Ohio. I received a radio broadcast from Irwin Town. I heard that there is a safe settlement here, and it can also feed people without being harassed by zombies, so I want to come and see."

The white man exchanged glances with several armed men around him, and couldn't help laughing: "That's right, here you can indeed feed and clothe her, so she doesn't have to worry about the threat of zombies, but the prerequisite is that you must be useful."

"Useful? What do you mean?"

Pang Xuelin was a little puzzled.

Scarface said: "In the town of Irwin, you need credit points to buy food, clothing, housing, and transportation. For example, you need to pay 1,000 credit points for the city entrance fee. You need 10 credit points for sleeping every night, and you need 10 credit points for a single room. 100 credits. Black bread costs 5 credits each, and white bread costs 10 credits. If you bring some jam or butter, it will cost 15 credits..."

Pang Xuelin frowned and asked, "Is there a place to earn credit points?"

Scarface said: "Of course. For example, if you go to help build the city wall or work on the farm, you will get 30 credits a day. If you are selected as the guard of Erwin Town, you will have 100 credits a day. Every time you go hunting , there will also be a certain amount of credit rewards."

When it came to rewards, Scarface looked at Pang Xuelin with a strange look.

Pang Xuelin asked doubtfully, "Hunting?"

"It's to hunt down zombies in nearby towns and search for useful supplies."

Pang Xuelin nodded, hesitantly said: "Then what if I don't want to contact zombies?"

"Then you can work as a worker or a farmer in the city with peace of mind, and you won't starve to death anyway."

Pang Xuelin said: "This is fair, but the city entry fee is 1,000 credits, how to pay? I don't have any credits yet!"

Scarface said: "The rationing system is implemented in the city, and all new members who enter the city must turn in the materials they carry with them in exchange for credits.

"

Pang Xuelin said thoughtfully: "Then how much credit is my Ford F550 worth? In addition, I still have a lot of canned meat and some weapons and ammunition in the car..."

"Any canned meat?"

Scarface's eyes lit up, and he said, "Take it out, let us see."

Pang Xuelin said: "You haven't told me how much these are worth?"

Scarface said: "Your Ford F550, I'll give you 5,000 credits. These cars are the least valuable now. For canned meat, they cost five credits each, and long guns cost one hundred credits. Fifty credits for the short gun..."

Pang Xuelin frowned and said, "Can't the price be higher?"

Scarface said: "This is the unified purchase price of Erwin Town. If you don't want to sell, you can leave now..."

Pang Xuelin hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I have another question. Was there a particularly sexy woman riding a motorcycle who came here?"

Scarface and his subordinates looked at each other, and he couldn't help but smiled lewdly, and said, "Boy, I didn't expect you to be a lover. The woman you're talking about is a woman with two knives on her back, right? She's already gone in."

Pang Xuelin turned his body sideways and said, "Okay, let's count the supplies."

Scarface waved his hand, and soon, the men around him rushed into the car and removed all the bits and pieces from the car.

In addition to all kinds of canned meat and bread and other food, there are many weapons and ammunition inside.

Scarface was no surprise. Those who were able to kill here alone had two brushes.

However, Scarface has confidence in Erwin Town. In his opinion, as long as there is a leader, after arriving in Erwin Town, even a dragon will have to coil up, and even a tiger will have to lie down.

In the end, Scarface gave Pang Xuelin 8,000 credits, and after deducting the 1,000 entry fee, there were only 7,000 credits left.

Pang Xuelin didn't care, anyway, he snatched these things, and at worst, he would just grab them back when he left.

"Boy, here is your credit card voucher, but after entering, you still need to be disinfected and quarantined for a day."

Pang Xuelin nodded to express his understanding.

There is a decontamination room behind the checkpoint.

Pang Xuelin first went inside and carried out a comprehensive disinfection, and then. Pang Xuelin was brought into a car.

The so-called Erwin Town is actually a complex of buildings, surrounded by a five-meter-high wall, and even a bunker.

"What do you think, this town of Irwin is a bit like a prison?"

Pang Xuelin asked the armed personnel escorting him to the quarantine area.

The armed man laughed and said, "Boy, don't you know? It was originally called Irwin Prison, but when the T virus broke out, all the police were dead, but we were locked in None of the people in the prison was fine. Then our boss, oh no, the mayor of Erwin Township came to rescue us and let us gain a firm foothold here!"

"Mayor?"

Pang Xuelin was slightly taken aback.

The armed man said: "Anyway, you will have a chance to see him in the future. The mayor is amazing. He is our god!"

Pang Xuelin couldn't help thinking.

It's no wonder that the armed men I've seen all look fierce.

It turned out that all the prisoners in the prison were transferred.

But the mayor was able to subdue all these people, and even maintain a certain order, which is extremely rare.

What the townspeople are building is actually the wall of the outer city.

Pang Xuelin estimated that the mayor planned to grow food on a large scale between the inner city and the outer city, so he built the new wall.

Near the entrance to the inner city, there are two independent bungalows. The gates of the bungalows are locked with iron chains, and there are several armed personnel guarding them.

"go in."

The armed personnel at the door opened the iron door and signaled Pang Xuelin to go in.

Pang Xuelin nodded and stepped into the bungalow.

As soon as he entered the bungalow, Pang Xuelin smelled a smell of urine.

Only then did Pang Xuelin realize that the room was densely packed with bunk-style single beds. There are a total of more than 100 beds, and there are about 30 people in them who are currently undergoing isolation.

On the other side, there is a simple toilet squat pit, and there is no block, and the smell is very strong.

Most of the segregated people are black and white, and only one is an Asian wearing glasses.

Pang Xuelin frowned. He found that the thirty people were actually divided into two groups, one of which consisted of more than a dozen people, headed by a strong white man, and each of them looked at Pang Xuelin unkindly.

The rest of the dozen or so people sat scattered in the corner, looking at those people with some horror.

The arrival of Pang Xuelin attracted the attention of everyone present.

Those scattered people looked at Pang Xuelin with gloating eyes.

The Asian man even opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Pang Xuelin turned a blind eye to everything in front of him, found a seat and sat down.

The strong white man got up first, and walked towards Pang Xuelin with a smile.

The group of people around him also surrounded him.

"Boy, new here?"

The strong white man said.

Pang Xuelin nodded.

The strong white man grabbed the iron railing of Pang Xuelin's upper bunk, looked down at Pang Xuelin, and said with a smile: "When you passed the checkpoint just now, how many credit points were converted into your supplies?"

"Seven thousand!"

Pang Xuelin told the truth.

call out--

The strong white man whistled and laughed loudly: "Brothers, we met a fat sheep today."

"What? Do you want to snatch it?"

Pang Xuelin looked at the strong white man with a half-smile.

The strong white man said, "Boy, do you know who we are?"

"Who are you?"

Pang Xuelin smiled lightly.

The strong white man smiled and said: "We are from the corpse hunting team of Irwin Town. When you came in just now, the people at the checkpoint should have told you that every time the corpse hunting team goes out to hunt, there will be extra rewards." ..."

"You mean, us newcomers are your reward?"

"Boy, that's right. You're pretty smart. Yesterday it was our team's turn to go hunting. We have to quarantine for a day after we come back. This day is the time for us to get rewards. For your sake, today is the time for us to get rewards." I won’t beat you up, just obediently hand over the credit card.”

As he said that, the strong white man stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to pat Pang Xuelin on the cheek.

Pang Xuelin grabbed the wrist of the strong white man and said with a smile, "You know what? I hate when people push their noses on their faces!"

In the next second, a huge fist suddenly appeared in front of the strong white man. Immediately afterwards, the strong white man was directly punched by Pang Xuelin, and fell to the ground with a bang.

The entire isolation room suddenly fell silent, and everyone was stunned by Pang Xuelin's actions.

The strong white man covered his broken nose and howled miserably. After a while, he said loudly to his subordinates who were stunned: "What are you still doing? Why don't you hit me!"

For the next minute, the isolation room was full of people's miserable howls and the sound of fists hitting flesh.

A minute later, each of the ten or so people involved in the brawl could stand up.

The dozen or so newcomers looked at Pang Xuelin as if they had seen a ghost.

Pang Xuelin was not surprised at all, and walked in front of the strong white man calmly.

In the past two months, Pang Xuelin has experienced many such things. Therefore, compared with the scenes where people died frequently at the beginning, he is much more measured in his actions now.

Pang Xuelin patted the nosebleed face of the strong white man, smiled and said, "Hey, hand over all the credit notes on you."

The strong white man looked at Pang Xuelin viciously and said: "Boy, you dare to hit me, just wait, our boss will not let you go after entering the city!"

Pang Xuelin smiled lightly and said: "Believe it or not, no one will say anything if I kill you now. This is the end of the world. Have you all forgotten the basic rules of the jungle? A master who can defeat ten with one and a dozen trash, you Guess who your boss chooses!"

When Pang Xuelin said this, the expression on the strong white man's face suddenly changed.

He knew very well that in the entire town of Irwin, as long as it didn't violate the rules set by the mayor, then everything was reasonable.

For example, according to the previous rules, they, members of the corpse hunting team, can snatch the newcomers' credit coupons in the quarantine area, and in fact, the newcomers can completely snatch them back.

But the rookies can't be of one mind, so they are not the opponents of the corpse hunting team at all, so they can only be bullied by the corpse hunting team.

As for anything that happened in the quarantine area, even if someone died, no matter which side it was, the town guard basically didn't care.

Enduring the pain, the strong white man took out a stack of credit notes from his pocket and said, "Brother... big brother, can you leave me some... woohoo, this is all I got from participating in the corpse hunting team three times in a row... ..."

Pang Xuelin ignored his cries at all, grabbed the credit vouchers, and counted them: "Only five thousand?! Poor ghost!"

Then, Pang Xuelin blackmailed them one by one.

The strong white men succumbed, and his subordinates were even more unbearable.

Half an hour later, Pang Xuelin had 30,000 more credit notes in his hand.

Pang Xuelin lay on the bed happily, ignoring everyone's envious, hating or jealous eyes.

In the following time, the isolation area became quiet, and occasionally the groans of the strong white man and his men could be heard.

Pang Xuelin ignored them and waited patiently for the completion of the quarantine time.

The next morning, the strong white man and his men left the isolation area. At noon, another team of corpse hunters entered the isolation area, but perhaps they had heard of Pang Xuelin's murderous name, and the leader did not Instead of provoking Pang Xuelin, they took the initiative to find Pang Xuelin and informed each other of their names.

As the evening approached, Pang Xuelin completed his 24-hour quarantine and left the quarantine area.
