Chapter 163 The end of the world here is a bit dark
However, I have to say that this old guy still has some value. Although what Yan Xu asked was very strange, he still gave a quick and accurate answer without any hesitation, and did not show any doubtful expression, let alone ask a question in return. He looked very experienced.
From the other party's conversation, Yan Xu could be sure that the other party had received higher education, which means that before the end of the world, he was an elite. No wonder he was so discerning.
Unfortunately, he is now just a lowly person who makes a living by relying on his skills in lock picking and car repair. If he doesn't work hard, his head will be blown off.
After all, in the wasteland world, fists and force are the keys to power.
Yan Xu learned a lot of things from the old man, such as how the doomsday happened.
I can only say that it happened very suddenly. Although the international situation was somewhat tense during that period, that year was never truly peaceful. After all, the lighthouse determines whether the world is in chaos or not, and there can be no peace until the lighthouse falls.
When many people thought that the relatively peaceful life would continue, the sky was streaked with traces left by missiles, and then a mushroom cloud, huge flashes of light and shock waves rose in the distance. Everyone realized that the end of the world had come.
Talking about the doomsday outbreak, even though more than ten years have passed, the old man still can't help but tremble all over. The fear from the bottom of his heart makes him hug his arms involuntarily. These behaviors all show how great the psychological trauma left behind was.
Although he successfully survived the doomsday, this was just the beginning of all the tragedies. Many nights, he felt that it might be lucky to die on that day.
On the day of the doomsday, before he had recovered from the grief of losing his loved ones, he was faced with all kinds of pressures of survival, because after the loss of order, middle-class people like him would be the first targets of the counterattack from the lower classes. So he watched his neighborhood being submerged by the black tide, and he lost everything in the chaos, including the house full of beautiful memories, which burned like a bonfire on the African savannah to celebrate a successful hunt.
In fact, humans had the opportunity to put the brakes on this train that was carrying everyone towards hell, but unfortunately ideology and social structure made everything develop in the worst direction.
At the moment of life and death of mankind, the top rulers are not thinking about how to reduce casualties or how to end the doomsday, but are trying their best to drag all of humanity down with them, because only complete destruction can put all countries and forces on the same starting line with humans. By then, they can rely on the doomsday bases they have prepared long ago to gain the upper hand and still maintain their dominant position.
As for whether there will be opposition, no, because even at the end of the world, death is still unfair. The powerful have already prepared thousands of contingency plans that can give them a higher chance of survival in various natural and man-made disasters.
It can be said that as long as they successfully enter the doomsday bunker built in advance, they can still live a carefree life for the rest of their lives. As for the life and death of other people, it has nothing to do with them.
This irresponsible behavior, which could even be described as adding fuel to the fire, caused social order to collapse in a very short period of time. The police, army, doctors, and fire brigade became ineffective at the first moment. Without orders from superiors, no support, and no compensation, coupled with the rapid spread of chaos and despair, everything was out of control.
The middle class is being plundered, the common people are being coerced, the lower classes are celebrating, especially those groups who are shouting that their lives matter too, and are doing what they do best: creating more chaos.
Hearing this, Yan Xu glanced at the biker gangster he had killed. Sure enough, their color was a bit dark. It seemed that the doomsday environment was more suitable for these people who relied on instinct and had stronger genetic infection capabilities.
Under It's doubtful gaze, Yan Xu casually opened the car door that he had tried his best to open, then took out a piece of compressed biscuit and a bottle of water from the storage box and threw them to him.
"Collect all the useful things before I come back." Yan Xu pointed around and went to look for garbage to recruit wasteland scavengers.
After Yit received the compressed biscuit, he was in disbelief at first, and then he put it under his nose and took a deep breath like a drug addict who got a good deal. The pure aroma of grain not only rushed into his soul, but also awakened his dead memories, making him cry. Trembling, Yit opened the package and carefully bit off a corner with his teeth. The taste of oil, salt and sugar soothed his taste buds that had been tortured for these years, and also made his tears flow faster.
However, Itt still used his strong willpower to put away the compressed biscuit that could save his life at the critical moment, and hid the unopened bottle of purified water.
Then he collected valuable things as quickly as possible, preparing to demonstrate his own value, because only in this way would he have a chance to stay.
Although his whole body was covered with a helmet and armor, It guessed that the other party was most likely from a doomsday base or doomsday fortress.
The end of the world only destroys human civilization and order, but does not exterminate humanity.
Moreover, even the powerful and wealthy can build doomsday fortresses, let alone countries.
It can be said that since the moment the mushroom egg was invented, various targeted defense methods have never stopped being invented and created, and with the development of science and technology, they have become more and more perfect and have more functions. The Doomsday Base is the culmination of these.
Each doomsday base is composed of a huge underground building complex with different functions. In addition to being able to resist mushroom explosions, it can also accommodate a large number of soldiers and store a huge amount of supplies. It also has relatively complete production lines and research equipment, all of which are prepared for the doomsday war.
Therefore, in the wasteland world, the most powerful forces are these doomsday bases, and only those who come out of there have richer material reserves and sophisticated equipment.
There is no need to think about entering the Doomsday Base. If he could be accepted by this person who is suspected to have come out of the Doomsday Base, it would be a life-changing event for It, so he collected things very carefully.
In fact, there is nothing good about them. Although the Biker Gang calls themselves wasteland plunderers, they actually make a living mainly by transporting goods on bicycles, just like their ancestor Odebiao in Africa. Their daily hobby is to use their meager savings to buy a set of eye-catching outfits. So although they are obviously a biking gang, they dress like bikers, and only occasionally rely on their numbers to commit a crime.
As a result, they kicked a landmine this time and the group went to reincarnate.
Oh, by the way, there are no ghosts in Africa. They are returning to nature.
When Yan Xu came back with four wasteland scavengers, It had already put everything in order. Vehicles, weapons, clothes, and food, although they were tattered, were sorted and put away, and it was obvious that he had put a lot of thought into it.
"Okay, you can stay. You can have a compressed biscuit and a bottle of water every day." Yan Xu nodded and said.
In fact, it doesn’t matter how well It does, because Yan Xu now needs a local native to help him familiarize himself with the current environment, and It, who has received higher education and suffered a lot, is undoubtedly a good choice.
Let It follow the wasteland scavengers to pick up garbage, and Yan Xu took the time to build five scrap metal huts, intending to stay here until the luck points were enough to upgrade the system.
