Chapter 360 Almost a Misunderstanding (Five Thousand Words Chapter)
If the earth at night is compared to a huge dark curtain, Huaibei No. 1 Base is the most dazzling one among the only few bright pearls on this dark curtain.
Looking around the world, there is probably no city that is as brightly lit and leisurely as the Huaibei base? There is no one in the world who doesn’t have to worry about food and clothes, they don’t have to be afraid of the threat of zombies, and they don’t have to fall asleep in fear by listening to the roars, they don’t have to fall asleep in fear?
This is definitely the life that countless people who have lived in this era dream of, but only the Huaibei base can do the entire territory of the central empire.
At this time, the doomsday world is early spring. As soon as you step out of the room at night, cool air rushes into your face. What you see is the sidewalk with tiles, the green belts on the roadside and neat street lights, and buildings with lights like three-dimensional grids in the distance. If you tell the survivors who are struggling to survive in the zombies at this time, this building was not left before the catastrophe, but was newly built after the catastrophe, no one will believe it.
The scientific research area is not a residential area, especially when it is too late, and there are fewer pedestrians, and it looks empty. Only sentries on the posts in the distance and the occasionally passing patrol teams have added a little bit of anger to the place, rather than like a ghostly death city.
The dim light of the street lights makes people's shadows grow old, and when they hit the ground, they feel a sense of peace and tranquility.
When they walked to the gate of the scientific research area, there were only four guard soldiers following Anyang, two wearing guard heavy iron-blooded armor, and two wearing guard heavy wind god armor.
Although these two sets of armor look much stronger than the standard ones when worn, the higher cost, precise design and meticulous craftsmanship allow them to enhance vitality and armor while not affecting endurance and sensitivity. In particular, coupled with the stronger physical fitness and comprehensive abilities of the guard soldiers, this makes this a combination of individual soldiers with very strong combat power.
Anyang suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Be careful."
The four guard soldiers nodded immediately, and a plastic mattress appeared after a few slight sounds. Then a faint blue arc began to flash on the armor, which quickly made them disappear under the street lights. If they didn't walk into the cold armor, ordinary people would definitely not be able to find that there were several guard soldiers who were few in the base hidden here.
Optical stealth technology obtained from the Predator perfectly made them hide, and the sockliner designed to make them walk silently.
Seeing that they had perfectly understood what they meant, Anyang stopped talking and stepped out of the scientific research area.
"Sir, go slowly!"
The sentry at the post at the door shouted loudly, but fortunately there were no people around, otherwise they would have been very surprised.
Anyang nodded and walked step by step away.
At this time, the Huaibei No. 1 Base was no longer the original Pingnan Military Region, but Pingnan City, which was recovered by the army. It was only strictly divided. In order to facilitate the management and defense of mutant creatures, and to reduce unnecessary resource losses, the Ministers of Government cut a small piece of this city that can accommodate millions of people and gave it to hundreds of thousands of people at the base, and could expand to other places at any time.
This has resulted in a small part of the city being brightly lit, bars, karaoke bars, restaurants, etc., with cars coming and going, just like before the catastrophe. It is even more advanced in some civil technology and infrastructure construction, giving it a sense of the future world, but the rest of the steel forest is still pitch black, like a dead land abandoned by the world, silent.
In addition to the most central military and political center and the outermost defense zone, the main base area is divided into five equal parts, namely scientific research area, industrial area, training and testing area, armed area and residential area. Anyang is now traveling through the industrial area along the inner ring road of Pingnan City from the scientific research area, preparing to go to the residential area, and finally to the central military and political center.
His mansion and office are there.
As soon as he arrived at the residential area, he knew that Zhou Mingyuan was indeed doing well. Regardless of the others, just the scene similar to before the catastrophe, the prosperity of Huaibei No. 1 base can be seen. In the hearts of more than 99% of survivors in the world, such a prosperous scene only exists in the prosperous cities before the catastrophe or in the dream late at night.
There is a snack stall on the side of the road, with fragrance scattered. Behind it is a restaurant with scattered people dining, men and women walking by hand, places for spiritual enjoyment such as selling cigarettes and alcohol, and entertainment venues, but there are no massage and health care places before the catastrophe. It can be seen that people are just out of tension, but have not yet let go of their hands to enjoy it.
An electric car drove by quietly, and an electric car also roared past, and it was still difficult to escape beggars on the roadside.
But Anyang will not care about these stains. Compared to this world, it is already a paradise to have a place to beg for you.
If you change to other places, if you are about to starve to death and lose the power to protect yourself, don’t expect someone to help you and will pity you. On the contrary, what you need to worry about is that no one will kill you quietly and then boil it into a pot of thick broth to fill your stomach!
Two soldiers from the patrol team passed by, looking around and equipment indicated that they were not going shopping, but were patrolling routinely. They were wearing straight uniforms, wearing a power-enhanced non-weapon riot gun on their hands, an old-fashioned gunpowder pistol on their waists, and a long sword on their backs, which was a huge deterrence to ordinary people.
This seems to show that the public security of the base is not as good as before the catastrophe.
But if you think about it, you can understand that after all, many residents here have come out of the city full of zombies. There are many people who have fought with zombies, and perhaps even killed people. Even if they are not good, they have seen bloody scenes! The quiet and peaceful life of the base can dilute the hostility accumulated by most people, and can make most people feel at ease to return to their lives before the catastrophe and exchange money for labor. But in the end, some people cannot be washed away. When they are desperate, they still think of solving the problem through improper means. Perhaps in their hearts, it is still a chaotic world?
At this time, strict laws and patrols that constantly exert deterrence will be useful!
As if they felt his gaze, the two patrolmen turned their heads and immediately opened their mouths in surprise. They stopped subconsciously, but for a moment, a trace of hesitation flashed in their eyes. They looked around for a few times, and still chose to ignore them wisely, as if they had not seen him, without revealing his identity, and obeying discipline.
Suddenly, a sound of horse hooves sounded, from far to near, from faint to clear, until it was as shocking as dense heavy drums, as if the earth was trembling.
This is a mutated war horse covered with dark green scales, reflecting a faint light under the street light. The mane on the neck is lush like a faint flame, with straight horns on its head, and blood-red eyes, making it look like a magical unicorn. Its size is far taller and stronger than the heavy war horse before the catastrophe. Its huge body is full of muscles, and its weight of more than two tons contains a powerful explosion. When it whistles past, the fallen leaves on the roadside were blown up, demonstrating its strong power and unparalleled speed!
On the war horse was riding a young senior military official. He was wearing a straight black military uniform, boots and gloves, with an electromagnetic pistol on his body, and a commanding sword hanging around his waist. His body was still straightened by the bumps of the war horse running at high speed, and he went forward without looking sideways. He could only look at Anyang standing standing with horror.
Not only Anyang, but also the pedestrians on the roadside who were too late could not help but look envious.
Racing on the street on a mutated war horse is probably only done by senior military officials. This way of traveling is not only a cool way, but also a manifestation of identity!
As we all know, some special soldiers also have war horse configurations. Ordinary troops will also be equipped with temporary war horses when performing missions in complex terrain areas. However, those who can ride war horses as vehicles on the streets during non-defense periods have certain rights, just like the officer's uniform and the commanding sword hanging around their waists. If this officer went to the bar, it would probably attract women's attention than the Lamborghini keys before the Cataclysm.
An Yang shook his head and withdrew his gaze. He knew the urinary nature of these young men, so he didn't make much comments, but some illegitimate words could not help but reach his ears.
"So handsome. I must find an officer as my boyfriend in the future. I am much more handsome than the soldier before the catastrophe!"
"I heard that the people in the army are superhuman, and their physical fitness is more than ordinary people. Not to mention what happens when having sex at night, they also have a strong sense of security during the day!"
"This is nothing. If you see them passing by wearing the latest military armor, tsk, wearing armor, it's like a future warrior in a science fiction movie, that's how handsome it is!"
"Dear, why don't you join the army?"
"I think, now there are so many people who want to join the army and have such strict requirements. How can I get my turn!"
Anyang continued to move forward, and he could feel the four guard soldiers hiding around him, but their faces were calm and they couldn't help but sound the war horse that was equipped for him.
Nowadays, biotechnology is developing so fast, and research on viruses is becoming more and more in-depth. The best war horse in the base should not be anything, right?
He walked forward and found a hotel with a more atmospheric decoration. He walked in and prepared to fill his stomach and taste the food that civilians could come into contact with.
It was said that it was a hotel, but it was actually a restaurant. It was just used in the lobby of a hotel in Pingnan City. It was naturally magnificent. There was a slender woman standing in a cheongsam at the door. When she saw him coming, she quickly opened the door and shouted to welcome him, and asked him how many of them were, whether there was a reservation, and then arranged a carefully arranged location for him.
All this seems to show that the quality here is quite high, especially in this base with a sharp lack of population. It is really a luxury to be able to use a beautiful woman as a welcome girl.
Anyang took the menu, ordered the highest mutant buffalo soup pot, and casually beat a few plates of side dishes, then returned the menu to the waiter.
From this perspective, the restaurant is not high in specifications. Although it occupies a big hotel, it is essentially similar to the restaurants before the Cataclysm. The number of menus is not too rich. After all, it is limited to the consumption level of ordinary people and the supply of ingredients at the base. When he saw the waiter's surprised eyes, he knew that there were definitely a few people who ordered so many people like him or such expensive things, which also shows that the luxury of the base has not blown up.
Although the waiter was surprised, he didn't say much. Looking at Anyang's brand new and straight suit and calm temperament, he felt that this person didn't look like a tycoon meal. Then again, no one would do business. If the money placed in front of him was not profitable, what's the point of opening their restaurant at around 10 o'clock in the evening?
Perhaps because he was the only one who was still eating at this time, the dishes came soon.
There are fewer fresh vegetables, but there is still a lot of beef and the taste is good. The chef is still a bit standard. Anyang cannot eat any difference between the meat of mutated buffalo and ordinary beef. It’s just that I vaguely remember that the size of the mutated buffalo is very large. I can’t help but think that such a big guy must be enough to kill one of the people in the entire base. After all, there are not many people who can eat beef frequently.
After eating, he wiped his mouth and stood up.
"Waiter, check out!"
Anyang subconsciously took out his wallet, twisted the corner of the hundred-yuan bill with his fingers, but he happened to see the waiter's strange expression from the corner of his eyes. He was stunned and reacted.
Oh no, why did you forget this?
There is no paper currency in the Huaibei base in the Doomsday World, let alone the currency issued by China on Earth!
Because of a series of strict and complete policies of the base, even gold is not universal here. Everyone must use an integrated identity card, that is, something like an ID card, which records everyone's personal assets, and everything is paid with this card.
The waiter looked a little bad, but he still walked over politely and secretly gestured to the person behind him.
"Hello sir, there are a total of 160 o'clock. Please check out here, and we will deduct it directly from your identity card!"
The last sentence is actually completely unnecessary, but his tone is filled with an emphasis, just like swiping a card in the real world, and the waiter emphasizes that he will deduct money from your bank card. If anyone knows something, it will be said in this tone, with a faint warning and reminder.
And Anyang didn’t bring this thing!
When Zhou Mingyuan handled it for him, he realized that he couldn't use it, so he threw it in the office. He didn't know that he was so careless today!
I think I had a meeting for one day, and my brain was a little stagnant...
Anyang's face was a little embarrassed, but there was no way. He turned to the corner beside him and said lightly:
"Come and check out!"
The waiter was stunned for a moment, thinking that Anyang was pretending to be stupid. He was clearly in front of him, he had just called for checkout, and now he called again. It was ridiculous. The laws of the base are so strict and close, do you think you can escape sanctions? Not everyone can eat the Bawang meal!
But after scanning An Yang's gaze, he felt that the words were not shouted to him. He was a little confused and couldn't help but want to glance backwards, but he was afraid that this person would run away when he turned around, so he couldn't help but feel a little confused. But thinking that his companion was behind him, he turned his head, but at that moment, his pupils suddenly shrank!
A light blue arc flashed in the corner where it was originally empty, and the scene was sci-fi and weird. A figure wearing silver-white thick armor gradually emerged. It was probably nearly two meters tall, strong in size, and was full of science fiction. Especially the miniature ion cannon on the shoulders, the dense dark cabin gaps on the body, the handheld ion cannon mounted behind the back, and the big sword on the side were enough to make people feel weak. This is just a weapon that can be seen, I don’t know what else I haven’t seen!
Under the horrified gaze of two or three waiters, the figure walked over with heavy steps, step by step, although silent, as if it was stepping on their hearts.
They were sure that even among the army armored soldiers who occasionally walked by the city and flew by, they did not see this silver-painted and thicker military armor. They couldn't help but feel uneasy, and their eyes looked at Anyang differently, and they began to carefully recall whether they had offended this big man.
Until the guard soldiers stopped in front of them, they did not see any movement. The heavy armor on their chest snorted, revealing a brand new tight combat uniform. He reached into his pocket and took out an identity card, which made the waiters breathe a sigh of relief, at least this person was really here to check out.
Fortunately, I didn’t call the patrol team, otherwise this misunderstanding would have been a big deal!
Anyang waited quietly by the side until the guard soldiers finished checking out and hiding in the blue arc, then he walked out.
The waiter blinked behind and clearly saw a pool of water stains on the ground at the door suddenly rippled. The water splashed like a heavy object hit downwards. Then, it sputtered around again and again, and then stopped. The sputtered water droplets had already splashed all over the floor tiles, and he couldn't help swallowing.
Who would have thought that in this magnificent and bright hall, there were four fully armed soldiers hidden?
Who would have thought that a casual person would have such a force to guard him?
And there was a misunderstanding!
