Chapter 19 The worst times! The best times!
The Wall of Life is 108 meters high and 36 meters thick. It is embedded with special-grade steel bars and poured entirely with special-grade cement!
The outer walls are inlaid with countless sharp alloy spikes.
These spikes are like hedgehogs, surrounding the wall of life tightly!
Any monster that dares to attack the wall of life will be stabbed into a sieve!
In addition, there are countless black holes on the outer walls!
This is a bullet hole!
Once a beast tide attacks, bullets, artillery shells, and howitzers will be fired through these gun holes, giving the monsters the most intensive firepower attack.
"The Wall of Life goes around Chang'an Base City, with a total length of 116.3 kilometers!"
Guo Mi smiled with surprise: "The textbook says that in order to build the Wall of Life, it took tens of thousands of workers 13 years to complete it!"
"This is a true wall of life, and also a protective barrier for 8000 million people in Base City!"
"Over the past few decades, we have resisted beast attacks countless times and helped humans survive disasters!"
"Yes! This is the real wall of life!" Zhang Fan repeated in a low voice.
The wall of life is not an absolutely solid and absolutely safe steel barrier!
There have been several examples in history of monsters breaking through the wall of life and entering the base city.
But this does not hinder the greatness of the Wall of Life, nor can it erase its huge role!
After all, waves of monsters have hit Base City far too many times!
According to the statistics.
The success rate of the Wall of Life in resisting the beast tide attacks is as high as 91%!
The success rate is very high and has fully met the expected construction standards!
As long as the Wall of Life can block most of the beast attacks, its mission will be accomplished!
After all, is there any place in this world that is absolutely solid and absolutely safe?
“When I saw the Wall of Life, I thought of the news I saw two days ago!”
Guo Mi suddenly laughed and said, "I heard that a section of the Brahma wall built by Ah San next door collapsed for no apparent reason, crushing more than 800 people to death!"
"Asan? Isn't that normal?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but smile.
India is a magical country, and its people are a group of peculiar people!
No matter what happens to Asan, Zhang Fan will not be surprised.
"makes sense!"
Guo Mi deeply agreed with this.
A special army is stationed on the Wall of Life, with a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps, closely monitoring the situation outside the base city.
If any emergency occurs, the stationed troops will be the first to discover it.
Besides.
The stationed troops are also responsible for screening Titan warriors entering and leaving the base city.
First of all, go out.
National law stipulates that only individuals with a monster hunter license and organizations with outdoor qualifications are allowed to enter wilderness areas.
Therefore, ordinary people cannot leave the base city and enter the wilderness area.
Even Titan warriors cannot go out without a monster hunter license.
Just like Zhang Fan, if he didn’t have Jiang Shengnan’s leadership, he would never be able to cross the wall of life!
The second is entry.
The wilderness area is a paradise for Titan monsters and a restricted area beyond the reach of the law.
Where there is no law, crime is likely to breed!
The wilderness area has therefore become a paradise for wanted criminals, robbers, and gangsters.
Crimes such as murder, robbery, and organ trading are common.
So in the wilderness, be careful of Titan monsters, and be even more wary of humans!
In order to guard against these people, there is strict inspection for entry into the base city!
It is strictly forbidden to enter the base city without relevant certificates or if any suspicious persons are found.
Jiang Shengnan drove the flying car and landed at the inspection station above the Wall of Life.
Several soldiers armed with live ammunition came forward to check the car and documents.
Only after everything was checked and confirmed were we allowed to proceed, and the car took off again and officially entered the wilderness area.
The base city and the wilderness area are only separated by a wall, but they are two different worlds!
One represents civilization.
A symbol of barbarism.
At first glance, the wilderness area is covered with weeds more than one meter high and trees can be seen everywhere.
Looking further into the distance, you can still see dilapidated high-rise buildings.
That was where humans lived before, but 50 years later, it has become completely dilapidated.
These buildings are covered with various vines, almost covering them.
As for the roads, streets and vehicles on the road, they were completely covered by weeds.
"In just 50 years, all traces of human life are about to disappear!" Zhang Fan sighed: "If 100 years, 500 years..."
"I'm afraid that all traces of human existence in the entire wilderness area will be completely wiped out!"
"Yes, it is!"
Guo Mi nodded in agreement: "Nature's ability to heal is amazing!"
"Compared to the entire nature, our human power is so small!"
“Not necessarily!”
Jiang Shengnan said calmly: "If you cultivate to the realm of demigod, you can turn the world upside down and sink the continent with just a thought. You will be qualified to compete with nature!"
"That's true!"
Zhang Fan nodded.
Demi god!
The most powerful human being!
Any demigod has the destructive power to destroy the world with just a move of his hands and feet, and indeed has the ability to compete with nature.
The flying car flew close above the weeds, at a speed neither fast nor slow.
As a teacher, Jiang Shengnan explained to Zhang Fan the things to pay attention to in the wilderness area.
"The closer we are to the base city, the weaker the Titan monsters are; the farther we are from it, the stronger they are!"
"So the farms, farmlands, vegetable fields, and orchards are almost all near the base city!"
"Look there!"
Zhang Fan looked in the direction Jiang Shengnan pointed and saw a large golden wheat field.
It was May and the wheat had already turned yellow.
The golden wheat sways in the wind, creating beautiful waves.
"That's the wheat field reclaimed by your Zhang Group - Wheat Field No. 013!"
Jiang Shengnan said calmly, "A total of 3600 acres of wheat have been planted. With a Jindan realm expert watching over it, it should be ready for harvest in two days!"
“This wheat is growing really well!”
Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh.
Land in the base city is extremely scarce and it is already too crowded to accommodate 8000 million people, so there is naturally no place to grow crops.
But people need to eat, and it is not enough to eat monster meat every day. They also need to supplement carbohydrates.
Therefore, many powerful organizations have opened up a lot of fields near the base city.
Wheat fields, vegetable plots, orchards...even farms are all built outside the base city.
Admittedly, this is very risky!
If you are not careful, you may be attacked by a group of monsters and get nothing!
But the benefits are equally amazing!
Look at the flour nowadays, one pound costs hundreds of yuan, which is more expensive than many meats!
Moreover, today's wheat is all genetically modified crops that have been improved through generations.
High yield, short cycle, cold and drought resistance, strong disease and insect resistance.
Just plant some crops in the field and you can harvest them in three or four months, and the yield is very high.
The key is that the land is free, there is no need to pay rent or land tax.
Although the risks are great, the returns are equally exaggerated, coupled with the support of various government policies.
Therefore, any capable organization will go outside the base city to seek gold.
The Zhang Group owns many farmlands, vegetable fields, orchards and farms.
These farmlands, vegetable fields, and orchards make a lot of money for the Zhang family every year!
“These are the worst of times, but also the best of times!”
Guo Mi looked out the window: "There are opportunities everywhere outside the base city!"
"Occupy a piece of land, enclose a lake, and plant a hill of chestnuts, and you can make a lot of money!"
Zhang Fan nodded silently.
There is a shortage of everything in this era, flour, vegetables, fruits, nuts, tea... nothing is lacking!
This has resulted in human material life being far less affluent than it was 50 years ago.
With monsters all around, life is threatened at any time and is uncertain.
This is the worst time!
But precisely because everything is lacking, opportunities are everywhere.
As long as you seize an opportunity, you may be able to rise up and stir up trouble.
This is the best era again!
