At the beginning of the disaster, human beings were still very united with each other. Those humans who fled from the mountains came in in large and small cars and were in shock. The people in the mountains helped them to resist the monsters and survive together.
But after the Awakened Ones appeared and the situation stabilized, humans began to show their dark side.
In order to survive for resources and for dominance in the mountain village gathering areas, some people started a secret fight, and soon the secret fight escalated into a bloody fight.
The originally united human beings eventually split into three small gathering places in this mountainous area for their own selfish desires, each no more than ten kilometers apart. In addition to guarding against various vitality monsters that may appear at any time, the distance between the three small gathering places
Also watch out for each other.
The largest gathering place is called the Pengcun gathering place. It was built between two mountains. It now has a population of more than 10,000. The leader is a man about forty years old, whose surname is Xing. No one knows his name. He is only called Boss Xing in the gathering place.
, it is said that he is already a third-level awakened person. He is very powerful. He has more than 300 awakened warriors under his command. He can become the leader of the largest gathering place among the three small gathering places. This Xing Lao is naturally not an ordinary person.
The terrain around Peng Village is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are large areas of crop land. No one has carefully calculated how big it is, but it is roughly calculated to be at least ten hectares. When the disaster occurred, the food in these crop fields was not damaged. Coupled with the impact of vitality,
The plants mutated and the food they produced increased several times.
Therefore, people in Pengcun never worry about food, and the food after the mutation of vitality can be harvested twice a year. The harvested food alone is enough to feed 30,000 to 40,000 people for a year.
Naturally, guarding such a treasured land will definitely be spied on by others, such as the people from the other two gathering areas. However, Boss Xing is very capable, and the people from the other two gathering areas cannot capture Pengcun at all, so it has been wasted until now.
There are two other gathering places. One is on the top of the mountain, called the ancient village gathering place. It has a population of 4,000 and makes a living by hunting. The last gathering place is at the foot of the mountain. It was originally a county town and is the only way to enter this mountain.
, although you may face more monsters, the living conditions are better. The last gathering place is called the Banner County gathering place. They are all outsiders, and their number is close to that of Peng Village. They control a mine near the county seat, relying on
In order to stop the monsters, he exchanged the vitality metal mined from the mine for food with the people of Shengcun.
As time went by, the three small gathering places gradually formed a balance, and everything was peaceful.
As for the existence of this behemoth in Lion City, the leaders of their three forces naturally know about it. Not only do they know about it, but they also often take people to Lion City to buy various items, the most important of which are weapons. The weapons in Lion City have gone through many years.
After several revisions and optimizations, it is now much more lethal to vitality creatures than weapons from the old world.
Naturally, what the Banner County gathering place exchanges is the vitality metal mined in the mine.
But this time, the Banner County gathering place at the foot of the mountain once again sent people to the Lion City with a large amount of vitality metals to exchange for weapons. The leader of the Banner County gathering place was sitting on the roof of a five-story building, eating barbecue and enjoying
Morning sunshine.
He was waiting for his men to return from the Lion City.
Smoke and dust billowed on the dilapidated road in the distance. It was obvious that his convoy had returned with a full load. However, when the leader of the Banner County gathering place saw his second-in-command, he saw that his face was a little ugly.
"What's wrong? Could it be that the price of weapons in the Lion City has increased? Why are you crying in despair?" The leader of the Banner County gathering place used to be a soldier. He fled here with his surviving comrades from the company, and then he took over the mountain and became the king.
A gathering place for banner counties was established.
"Brother Liang, there is no problem with the weapons. They have been replaced. They are enough for us brothers to use for a while. But this time an official from the Lion City summoned us and sent a representative..." The second boss is also in his thirties.
The man is many years old and his skin is tanned, but he has a helpless look on his face at this moment.
"Representative? What representative?" Zhao Liang was stunned, obviously not knowing what his second boss meant.
What else did the latter want to say? Only then did Zhao Liang realize that a person, a stranger, had stepped out of his team car.
This man was only in his twenties, but he was well-dressed and ordinary-looking, but he exuded a sense of pride and confidence. The most important thing was that he did not carry any weapons.
"Are you Zhao Liang, the leader of the Banner County Gathering Area?" The young man stepped forward in a very formal manner and extended his right hand. It looked like he wanted to shake hands.
I don’t know how long it has been since human beings didn’t have this habit of shaking hands. Human beings who lost their cities and competed with various monsters for survival resources in remote places seem to have forgotten this inherited civilization. If it weren’t for the young man in front of me,
, Zhao Liang couldn't even remember the etiquette of shaking hands.
Since the disaster happened, Zhao Liang and the others have become accustomed to talking loudly and killing people if they disagree. But at this moment, although Zhao Liang is in charge of the gathering place in the banner county and is the leader of more than 8,000 people. He can decide life and death with a single word and has great power. But at this moment, they are facing
This young man was unknowingly shorter, which even made him a little timid. This made Zhao Liang very angry. He couldn't think of the reason, so he could only hold back his anger and stretched out his hand to shake the other person's hand, and then said:
"I am Zhao Liang, may I ask who you are..."
"Hello, Mr. Zhao, I am Wang Wei, Coordinator No. 153 under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Xinhua. You can just call me Xiao Wang!" The young man announced his family name, his words full of pride.
"Xinhua Kingdom?" Zhao Liang was stunned. He glanced at the Second Master. Wasn't this person sent by the Lion City? When did another Xinhua Kingdom appear?
The second boss looked helpless. Apparently he didn't understand the situation. When he went to the Lion City this time, he was directly found by people from the Lion City. He then said that he had something important to discuss with his first boss, and even sent such a representative.
If it were other forces, the two families would not pay attention at all, but this was a representative sent by the Lion City. Even if he had a hundred courages, he would not dare to offend him. You must know that compared with the huge Lion City, their Banner County gathering place
, it’s not even a flea on an elephant. If someone wants to, they can easily crush themselves to death.
However, they have never heard of the Xinhua Kingdom.
After Wang Wei's explanation, Zhao Liang and the second master learned that this Xinhua Kingdom was actually a country led by Wucheng in the city of Lion City, Silver Moon City and Rong Town. In other words, this country was in
Founding of the country.
Although the country has not yet been officially founded, the name has become popular. Zhao Liang and the second master were stunned when they heard it. They thought they heard it wrong at first. In this terrifying doomsday, in this new world full of dangers, there are still people who want to
Founding a country?
But even if this is the case, it has nothing to do with their gathering place in the banner county, right?
Zhao Liang couldn't figure out the reason, so he looked at the throne and cast a questioning look.
If Wang Wei could become the coordinator, it was because of his ability. Naturally, he could see what Zhao Liang was thinking, so he took out a stack of documents from his bag and handed them over.
"Xinhua needs to expand. Your banner county gathering place, including the other two human gathering places in the surrounding thousands of hectares of mountains, must be unconditionally incorporated into the territory of Xinhua. Here is the appointment document. If you agree, you will be appointed here.
The highest officer, of course, must obey the orders of the Xinhua Kingdom and implement the laws designated by the Xinhua Kingdom, and we will send people to manage the gathering place with you." Wang Wei said with a professional smile on his face, slowly but clearly, without any trace of confusion.
Pay attention to the rapidly congested expressions on the faces of Zhao Liang and the second master.
After finishing speaking, Wang Wei glanced at the two of them and motioned for them to respond.
With a bang, the second master smashed a wooden table next to him. He was a third-level awakener with great strength. He immediately pulled out the pistol on his waist and pointed it at Wang Wei.
As for the latter, there was no timidity at all, and he still had the same expression.
Zhao Liang was also extremely angry. The Xinhua Kingdom obviously wanted to forcefully conquer his gathering place. Zhao Liang naturally disagreed with this kind of thing. He was a local emperor here, and he wanted everything he wanted, but if he was merged into the Xinhua Kingdom,
Obviously his good days are coming to an end. Although he can still hold some official position, how can he be happier than he is now?
Immediately, Zhao Liang pulled out a dagger from his waist and said with a ferocious expression: "What if we don't agree?"
Wang Wei didn't seem to care about the other party's threat at all. A trace of disdain and joking showed in Wang Wei's eyes, as if he despised and pitied the two people in front of him.
"If you don't agree, we will use force. When the time comes, those in authority in the gathering area will be sentenced to death and executed uniformly. If they are stubborn, they will be killed on the spot!" Wang Wei said word for word.
"You dare? Do you believe that our brothers will disembowel you right now?" Although the second master is afraid of the forces in the Lion City, it is their vital interests at this moment, so he will naturally risk it. Moreover, he believes that as long as the person who does it does not know what he is doing,
, just kill him, who would know it was him.
"Second brother, don't be impulsive!" Zhao Liang can become the leader of the gathering place. Naturally, he is not the kind of reckless man who only knows brute force. Otherwise, he would not be the leader.
Then he looked at Wang Wei, who looked calm, and felt an ominous feeling in his heart. Since the other party dared to do this, he must be well prepared. To be honest, although there were more than 8,000 people in his banner county gathering place,
It was incomparable to the Lion City, and he had also heard of Wucheng, which was said to be even more powerful than the Lion City. Zhao Liang was not ready to be an enemy of such a giant force.
"Mr. Wang, this matter is of great importance. We will discuss it. Why don't you go back first and wait until we come up with the results of our discussion? Of course, I will not let Mr. Wang make your trip in vain!"
, Zhao Liang skillfully took out a stack of vitality cards, and a bottle of old-world high-end wine that he got from the ruins of Qixian County. He bribed these low-level administrators in Lion City more than once, and it can be said that they have been tried and true.
But this time, Zhao Liang obviously miscalculated. (To be continued...)
