"Queue for inspection! No one is allowed to jump in line! Violators will be permanently disqualified from entering Long'an!"
In the endless long queue entering the city, a large number of unkempt, beggar-like survivors clutched the packages in their hands and looked at the defending officers timidly.
As a checkpoint for entering the outer city, the security here is extremely tight.
In addition to soldiers standing guard with guns, there are also inspectors wearing white protective gear.
As the instrument in the examiner's hand beeped, they passed the first level.
Looking up, they saw a large number of heavily armed awakened people patrolling the alloy city wall about thirty meters high, which made them feel stunned.
Not only that, but the core fortress in the distance known as the Inner City of Long'an, the Land of Hope, completely shocked them.
On the hundred-meter dark crystal city, the spiritual energy towers with rotating tops emit dazzling light. The huge muzzles every ten meters maintain a charging state 24 hours a day. Silver-white particles
The ball broke through the air at extremely high speed and flew out of the city in the blink of an eye.
Occasionally accompanied by bursts of sonic booms, it was the fighter planes returning to the core from a patrol.
At a glance, Long'an Base, which has built four satellite cities, looks like a giant war beast made of metal, overlooking the land.
"Is this Long An!?"
"We're right! We're really right!"
"It's so spectacular. It's much better than the safe zone I stayed in before!!"
Holding their heads high, the crowd who came to Long'an for the first time exclaimed in exclamation from time to time. When they looked at the survivors hanging the Long'an logo, their eyes were full of envy.
"Dip, please put the package in your hand into the storage point and collect it with your ID after the disinfection is completed."
In the long queue, a middle-aged man at the front looked at the drone floating in front of him at a loss. He was trembling slightly, as if he were curled up, and his eyes were blank.
Look at the door.
The long period of hunger and escape had made his mind a little stiff. Looking at the drone in front of him, he subconsciously grabbed the backpack in his hand.
"No"
"No! I won't give it!"
His dirty hands were like chicken feet, and the backpack he was protecting seemed to contain his most important treasure.
The man roared like a beast, and the fierce expression he pretended was as if he had been robbed many times before.
"Hey, please put the package in the storage box under the drone. If you refuse to be disinfected, you will not be able to enter the city."
The soft mechanical sound sounded from the drone again, and the flashing red dot seemed to be scanning the package in the man's hand.
After the second urging, even though the crowd behind him began to urge him impatiently, the man standing at the front still stubbornly refused to give up.
With his voice hoarse and looking at the drone that repeatedly warned him, the man simply squatted on the ground holding his baby and screamed.
"Let me in! Let me in! Don't take away my baby!!"
"I got this in exchange for my wife!"
Behind the drone screen, a Longan member looked helplessly at what was scanned on the screen.
In exchange for my wife
There is nothing important in the backpack in the man's hand. Instead, it is full of garbage.
A rotten apple dried into dried fruit, two dog bones that had been licked clean, a handful of unknown weeds, and besides that, there was a ball of paste that was almost like vomit.
It looks like it was fished out of the sewer.
"Send someone to pull him out first, so as not to affect the people behind."
"This man must be starving and doesn't know anything anymore."
"The things he carries contain who knows how many germs. There is no way he can get in without disinfecting them. Forget it, let's disinfect him too."
Sighing secretly, the young man in charge of the inspection quickly gave the order and said nothing more.
"Hey, I feel like there are not many normal people left."
Since four days ago, more and more survivors have begun to pour into Long An. He has seen too many situations like this.
As the food crisis and the apocalypse accelerate, it becomes increasingly difficult for the survivors at the bottom to survive.
For many survivors, a box of instant noodles can often provoke them to beat them to death or sell their wives and children.
In this case, there are often survivors who refuse to throw away their treasured "treasures" and try to take them into the city together.
"Okay, this is pretty normal."
"You don't know, last time you were off duty, I met a woman."
"Damn it, do you know what she brought in!?"
Sitting in front of another screen, an awakened person who was also responsible for inspection made an exaggerated gesture:
"placenta!"
"She came in with two placentas! Said they were her babies!"
"Damn it, I can see teeth marks on it!"
"And the day before yesterday! A group of survivors came over. I thought they were savages! Do you know how they got through the zombie wave!?"
"They took the shit out of the zombies' intestines and smeared it on themselves!"
"The smell is amazing!"
As if he couldn't help but complain, the young man's face was full of collapse. As someone who had stayed in Long'an since the apocalypse broke out, he really couldn't imagine life in the outside world.
"Okay!"
"Say less! Have you forgotten Long An's rules? No discrimination against any foreign survivors! As long as you become a member, you will be treated as one of your own!"
"If the law enforcement team hears it, just wait for the points to be deducted!"
Opening the door, a second-level awakened person wearing a white uniform scolded his subordinates in a cold voice.
In order to reduce the safety problems of the new batch of survivors after joining Long'an, their department was just established. The quality of the personnel who were recruited was far inferior to that of the guarding army. There was no way, as the scale of Long'an expanded, it was indispensable.
There will be more family members of high-level awakened people.
"Check carefully! The equipment given to you was all redeemed at a high price!"
"We have to make sure everyone who comes in is okay!"
"Look at the information posted two days ago! Just south of Linjiang, there is a small safe zone that accidentally admitted a survivor. As a result, the survivor actually had a special event with him! As a result, more than forty awakened people died violently.
!”
"If such a person is let in due to your negligence, you will be shot!"
Listening to their boss's scolding, the young people in the monitoring room all shrank their necks.
They saw the document, and the information on it was indeed mind-numbing.
Compared with the humans who have been staying in the safe zone, the humans outside the safe zone are like wild animals. No one knows what terrible things exist in these people. Things like being infected with the zombie virus are the most "harmless"
.
After all, if you are infected, the thing will mutate in a very short time, which can be seen at a glance.
"Boss, since there are risks in absorbing survivors, why do we still need them to join?"
"I looked at the records of those who escaped during this period. They are basically ordinary people and are of no use at all."
"What's the difference between letting them join and wasting food?"
"I see that there is a food crisis everywhere now, and everything is going to be a mess outside."
He asked cautiously, and in an instant, everyone in the monitoring room couldn't help but look at their superior.
To be honest, they really didn't understand why Long An wanted to "rescue people."
