Chapter 283 New Era

Aw~ Aw~
On the screen of the mobile phone, a little lynx with black and gray hair and a pair of bright golden eyes staggered towards the camera on the sofa, purring incessantly, and finally stumbled into a In the palm protruding from under the lens.

He turned over, rubbed his forehead against his thumb, narrowed his eyes, and swung his three tails from side to side.

"Hey, you have to wait for me!"

Zhu Jue looked at the small wind chime in the video, his eyes were full of memories.

Put the mobile phone aside and turn on the computer, the lock screen password is the same as the door password.

During the five years frozen in Greenland, the world has undergone earth-shaking changes. Rao Zhujue can’t fully receive all kinds of information from the outside world for a while, so he can only start searching from the information he is more concerned about. He had barely found something on the plane, and now he had to take a closer look.

First of all, naturally start from Yecheng.

The day Yecheng was destroyed five years ago was called the day of catastrophe whether it was on the Internet or in official documents or propaganda.

It was not a simple terrorist attack or a monster attacking the city. Leaving aside those actual losses, in terms of historical significance, the destruction of Yecheng undoubtedly smashed the appearance of peace maintained by the federal government for nearly a hundred years.

They travel through the city.

They soar in the sky.

They herald the beginning of a new era!
In 2220, a huge sea beast appeared in the coastal waters of Tokyo, setting off a tsunami with a height of 70 meters. The death toll exceeded 20 in an instant, and the flood caused by the disaster caused millions of casualties. Giants, accompanied by a wave of even more lethal ghouls, overturned the whole city!

In 2221, an amorphous and terrifying creature appeared in Greenland, crushing half of the city of Nuuk in just three days, with no more than 1 survivors on the island!

In 2222, a city in North America had a situation similar to that of Yecheng. The cultists summoned some indescribable special monsters in the city. In a very short period of time, spiritual pollution spread rapidly, and one fifth of the population mutated into Spiritual pollution source monster!

The disasters that have occurred in the past five years have exceeded the sum of the past 50 years in terms of the scope and intensity of the damage!

It’s just that in order to ensure that the spirit of the people will not have problems as much as possible, these reports do not have any pictures or audio, but only a paragraph of extremely obscure text descriptions. This is the summary that Zhu Jue managed to find in some forums after a long search .

Under the premise of huge crises successively appearing in all parts of the Federation, the credibility of the Federal Government inevitably declines at an alarming rate. In the end, because of its inability to restore the situation, a considerable number of regions in the Federation appear to "survive by self-help", "need a real A wave of demonstrations with slogans such as "government for the people".

Of course, only a small part of these are real public appeals, and more of them come from the promotion of financial oligarchs and top financial groups behind the scenes.

Skip what happened in the middle and go straight to the result.

This political wave that spread throughout the federation finally ended with the federal government backing down and handing over the control of some first-tier cities that were more severely affected by the disaster but could not be rescued by the federal government.

With the victory of the capital group, in order to gather the labor force to the maximum extent, the promotion of capital development space is said to be more convenient to protect the people.

But anyone with a little brain knows that this is for the convenience of exploitation.

The first-tier cities under the control of monopoly consortiums in various continents began to expand continuously under the operation of huge capital groups. By annexing the surrounding small and medium-sized cities and regions, they gradually developed into super-first-tier giant cities.

Shuguang City, where Zhu Jue is currently located, is one of the representative giant cities. As one of the few super-first-tier cities in Dongzhou that is still under the control of the federal government, the permanent population is close to 5000 million, and the overall area is nearly three times that of Yecheng. size.

It's just that the original intention of this city was not for exploitation, but a giant city that the federal government took the initiative to build in response to the top consortium's plan to enclose land and people.

There is no doubt that the nature of living things is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

In order to obtain strong asylum, people have to choose to pay money with a low profile or enter this kind of urban life under the condition of accepting certain terms.

Rather wandering in these giant cities, they are not willing to return to the dangerous areas full of spiritual pollution source monsters and affected beasts that have begun to mutate.

However, there are also so-called "urban dreams" and "elite era".

The general meaning is that as long as you have the ability, even a "wild dog" who used to plan food in the stinky ditch has the opportunity to become a master, and you can get everything you want in this era!
And when it comes to the danger zone, you have to mention the Archaeological Association.

Zhu Jue noticed the development tendency of the Archaeological Association from Rachel's words and deeds when he went to search for the scientific research station in Greenland. Today, five years later, this organization originally formed by scholars has become The authority of the entire federation to fight against monsters of spiritual pollution!
The currently recognized concept of danger zone is a regional assessment standard proposed and perfected by the Archaeological Association:
Safe Zone: A city where the threat of spiritual pollution is minimized through strict monitoring of hue values ​​and well-trained troops doing everything possible to eliminate existing or potential spiritual pollution source monsters.

Basically, any giant city can meet this standard, but it is only limited to the threat of spiritual pollution source monsters.

Level C Dangerous Zone: A city where the number of spiritual pollution source monsters is small, and the people can maintain a normal life.

At present, most of the first-tier or second-tier cities except for the giant cities are basically C-level dangerous areas. Some are similar to the state of the outer city of Yecheng. There are some monsters, but the life of the people is still going on, as long as you pay attention to it. To ensure the normal progress of life.

Level B danger zone: There are many monsters that are sources of mental pollution, mainly mutants, there may be mutant beasts, and the people can only live in hiding.

Greenland is one of the typical B-level dangerous areas. The Shoggoth disappeared after being run over once, replaced by mutant monsters and mutant beasts.

A-level danger zone: There are extremely dangerous spiritual pollution source monsters, an area where it is difficult for human beings to survive.

There are very few areas that can achieve this rating, and even in the world, they can be counted clearly, and Yecheng and Fangdoushan are among them.

"Sigh~"

Looking at the rows of webpage frames on the screen, Zhu Jue pinched his brows and leaned back his neck to relieve the soreness.

Although he had deliberately limited the scope of his search to the information he wanted, he was still unavoidably surprised by all the things that happened in these short five years.

The huge amount of information made Zhu Jue a little overwhelmed. After all, he is not a machine, and there is a limit to how he can process information.

"Don't worry about these things, you have to find a way to go to Ye City first!"

Rubbing his cheeks with both hands, pouring half a glass of ice water into his mouth to cool down his head, Zhu Jue was about to put aside other things first, and focus all his attention on the matter of going to Yecheng to find the wind chime.

"How do you get to Ye City from Dawn City?"

Enter this paragraph of content in the search engine, but the content pushed out makes Zhu Jue frown.

At present, Shuguang City has no public transportation route to Ye City at all, and even the traffic to its surrounding areas in Anqing Mansion has been completely cut off.

After the disaster five years ago, although the federal government sent a large number of troops to suppress Yecheng in a short period of time, due to the rapid spread of the disaster, the entire Yecheng city was occupied by monsters in a short period of time, and a large number of mental pollution sources The monsters shuttled around every corner of the city, so that the army of the federal government was inevitably dragged into street fighting.

By the time they remembered to carry out carpet bombing, hoping to save the city, tens of thousands of spiritual pollution monsters had already spread wildly to the surrounding areas of Anqing Mansion, causing the guards in the Fangdoushan area to be completely broken. After that, the original body monsters in different spaces joined the battlefield.

In other words, the current Yecheng and its surrounding areas can be regarded as one of the most dangerous places in the entire Dongzhou. Both the intensity and density of monsters that are sources of spiritual pollution are far higher than other areas.

Not to mention public transport these days, even private teams have to avoid it.

But that is the place Zhu Jue must go to. Not only is the wind chime there, three bags of gems that can be sold for a lot of money, but also the "Book of Dekian" are all lying in the safe!
Since you can't get there by public transportation, find another way.

Self-driving?

To retrieve the route from Shuguang City to Ye City, using a car as a means of transportation, you need to pass through a large dangerous area, and the existing map is not updated in real time. Zhu Jue is not clear about the traffic conditions in these dangerous areas that are already in a semi-occupied state. Think about it and know that there is a high possibility that there will be road blockages or monsters blocking the way.

Or you can get as close as possible through some existing traffic routes. It is best to shorten a part of the distance, which can not only save time, but also avoid the attacks of monsters.

"Passing through the transportation routes near Anqing Mansion."

Changing the search method, Zhu Jue was not disappointed this time, and he got a new feasible plan.

Fort Train!

The emergence of a large number of dangerous areas has led to the forced division of various regions, but it is naturally impossible for the people in various human cities to not communicate with each other, especially the transportation routes between giant cities must be guaranteed.

Because the passenger capacity of the plane is too small, the construction of the airport cannot be popularized, and the ground transportation is bound to continue to exist. Therefore, when the giant city began to be built, the fortress train plan was also put on the agenda.

The so-called fortress train, as the name suggests, is a train built like a fortress.

Covered with a full metal shell, it is equipped with a large number of fully automatic smart weapons, and is equipped with an entire elite armed force of between 20 and 30 people inside.
The information of the train flashed on the screen, and what Zhu Jue valued was the traffic line from Shuguang City to Qianfan City. It would pass through some cities in the C-level danger zone and make short stops along the way. nearby cities.

The finger slides along the route on the screen, and finally freezes on a small black dot.

Target: Anling City!
