Chapter 36 Maggots

It’s nine o’clock in the morning on February 20, the first year of the New Calendar in the last days.

The body of a car was full of potholes, and the bumper was crooked to an unknown extent. The white Wuling Hongguang Shenqi slowly parked at the gate of the Beijing base.

Under the admiring gazes of the guards and the surprised gazes of the survivors lining up to enter the base.

The shaky rear door was kicked open with a bang and flew out.

Then the people inside were like dumplings, all gurgling out.

But what shocked everyone present was that although these people's clothes were a little messy, their faces were not particularly neat.

But their faces looked extremely good, and they didn't look like they had been living in the apocalypse for two months.

Analogy to those survivors who are lining up with sallow complexions and skinny bodies.

This group of people, apart from their messy clothes and hairstyles, don't look like people fleeing the apocalypse at all.

When Shen Nantang and Qin Yehuai came down, wearing the base army's operational uniforms, everyone understood.

The eight people who came back in an instant received envious and jealous looks from the survivors who lined up to enter the base.

The label "lucky guy rescued by the rescue team" is a label common to all survivors brought back through the rescue plan.

These eight people brought back by Shen Nantang and Qin Yehuai were no exception and bore this label.

Of course, this does not mean that there are any special cases for people with such labels.

Except for the superpowers, the process for other survivors to enter the base is exactly the same.

If it were different, Shen Nantang would have asked Qin Yehuai to drive Wuling Hongguang into the base instead of staying outside the gate.

"Go and line up to enter the base. These materials are your tickets to enter the base." After saying that, Shen Nantang didn't wait for any reaction from these people, and turned around and left with Qin Yehuai.

Of course, Shen Nantang didn't care about their reactions.

After all, in the last days, there is a huge gap between ordinary people and people with superpowers, and unless they have a very close relationship, they will basically never have any interactions in their lives.

Therefore, these eight people will be used as construction technical talents in the base unless someone awakens their superpower in the future or is recruited because of certain specialties.

Only then is it possible to have a little intersection with Shen Nantang.

"Welcome home! Thank you for your hard work!"

In front of the special passageway, the soldiers guarding Shen Nantang and Qin Yehuai respectfully paid military salutes.

In their eyes, these people go out to fight against zombies for the development of the base, and they are people who make contributions based on their lives.

He is always worthy of their respect and admiration.

So whenever someone enters through a special passage, the above two greetings are their best blessings and care for this group of lovely people.

"I'm back." Shen Nantang and Qin Yehuai replied in the same way.

Then we followed the inspectors who were wearing level 3 protective suits and protective masks to the isolation area.

Disinfection, inspection and then a simple one-hour quarantine.

After possessing superpowers, people with superpowers are not immune to zombie viruses. Instead, they are more susceptible to the pathological changes caused by viruses than ordinary people.

The virus lurks in the body of ordinary people for at least four hours before symptoms appear, but it only takes less than half an hour for a person with supernatural powers to undergo rapid transformation after being infected.

If there is no mutation for more than an hour, then congratulations to the superpower who was scratched by the zombies, your superpower will undergo a second mutation.

But these are just a few, and most of them directly mutate into higher-level zombies, bringing greater disasters to mankind.

Surviving the lesions of the zombie virus does not mean that you will usher in a positive secondary power evolution. More often, it will be directly exploded by the huge energy generated by the changed power.

Of course, this pattern in the previous life would not be discovered until about a year after the end of the world.

Now that the special passage has been set up so early in the Beijing base, it is because of Shen Nantang's suggestion.

As the most powerful person in the base, almost no one would refute her words.

An hour later, Shen Nantang and Qin Yehuai left the quarantine area under the respectful eyes of the prosecutors.

The base has several gates. This time Shen Nantang and Qin Yehuai entered the south gate, which is close to the civilian area of ​​the base.

To reach the central area where they live, they need to pass through civilian areas and trading markets.

It is more accurate to say it is a civilian area, but actually it is a slum area.

After all, only a few people can live in houses here, and most ordinary survivors can only live in wooden sheds built with templates or rags.

Dirty mess, decadence and corruption are the most realistic portrayal of this place, a mixed bag of good and bad.

In order to survive, they will do anything but eat people.

Everywhere you can see some men with lewd smiles throwing expired food to ragged women sitting on the roadside.

Then he and the woman got into the dirty tent.

The sounds of debauchery are endless here, and the children on both sides of the street are so hungry that only a handful of bones are left. Those are young children who cannot go out to earn a living and survive on their own.

They can survive only by relying on the small amount of food that the adults in the family get from working all day, or the expired food that their mothers sell their bodies for.

The rectification here is discussed every day by the higher-ups, but those policies will always be blocked by some people who have nothing to do with their lives.

Because only by maintaining the status quo can those vampires obtain higher benefits.

However, Shen Nantang would not have any unnecessary sympathy for these people who were so hungry that their faces were emaciated, or who had sold their bodies to survive.

It's only the early days of the end of the world, and the reason why you can live like this is just because you don't want to go out and work.

After all, the base is currently undergoing construction and expansion all the time.

There is a big gap in the manpower needed. If you go out to move bricks and repair the city wall, the base points obtained are enough for one person to eat and drink for a whole day, and there will still be a little balance.

After walking quickly through this slum area with expressionless faces, Shen Nantang and Qin Yehuai directly entered the real civilian area.

This is the area with the largest number of people living in the entire base. Most of the people here are ordinary people who work hard or people with weak abilities or people with low-level abilities.

And only those who start living here will be regarded as real people by all survivors of the base.

Those people just now were just maggots who wanted to get something for nothing.

In his previous life, Shen Nantang saw a lot.

When the base was first established, Shen Nantang even set up a charity hall for one meal a day to ensure that the group of people had enough food and clothing.

At the same time, people were arranged to promote job recruitment in relevant areas, but after a long time, Shen Nantang knew that this group of people was not unable to survive.

But they just want to get something for nothing and become maggots rotting in the mud.
