Behind the iron gate were tents like small hills. Many people hid inside and watched the newcomers – Hao Jian and the others. The people inside were on guard until Hao Jian and her group were isolated in a room surrounded by iron fences, only then did their eyes relaxed.
There was only the stinking straw mat and food residues inside the iron fence. Thinking that they will have to spend forty-eight hours there, Lian Ru Ning regretted, “I have been delayed for so many days, and if I delay here for another two days, I really can’t afford to wait.”
“It’s okay, I believe your family can also find this kind of refuge.” Peng Mao comforted.
Hao Jian didn’t speak, she was observing the environment here.
Just now, she observed the cross-section of Jiangxin Islang using her periphery vision and found that it wasn’t very large. According to the size of the tent, it could only accommodate no more than 10,000 tents at most.
In addition to the surrounding protective engineering and public activity space, there are around 8,000 tents currently inside.
However, many people at inside didn’t have tents. There were large sheds built using wood or steel, and covered with straw mats as resting places.
There are only seven or eight guards patrolling the surrounding area, plus the number of guards guarding the gate just now. There are ten or so guards, it’s still too much even if they have one less member.
Withdrawing her gaze, Hao Jian knocked on the fence, causing the guards guarding them to frown, “What’s the matter?”
“I want to talk to your superiors.”
The guard did not scold or reject her, but said, “I will tell him, but I can’t guarantee that he will have time to see you.”
Peng Mao leaned over, “They are pretty good at talking.”
Hao Jian said, “What, do you think we’re criminals? We’re ordinary people. The reason why they lock us is just to ensure the safety of other people.”
After a while, the black-faced man came over and stopped a meter away. His face was somewhat intriguing, “You’re looking for me?”
“Yes.” Hao Jian nodded earnestly, “Could you please discuss with us? Don’t isolate us for so long.”
“. . .” The black-faced man’s sullen expression couldn’t help but turn grim, “Many people used to talk to us like this, but. . . it resulted to blood, so it is stipulated in the regulations. Please follow them.”
Although he refused Hao Jian’s request, he didn’t leave.
He fully respected Hao Jian, and Hao Jian no longer circled with him, “If I want to exchange information about zombies with you, do you think it’s appropriate to communicate here?”
The man’s expression remained the same, but the guards next to him raised their eyebrows in surprise.
“Then please follow me.” The man next to the guard opened the door after his instruction, but they only released her.
Peng Mao and Lian Ru Ning didn’t argue, because the two believed that Hao Jian wouldn’t be in any danger. After Hao Jian followed the black-faced man, the guard curiously asked, :Hey, who are you? How did you find this place?”
Peng Mao met someone who could listen to him express his depression, he couldn’t help but pour a lot of bitterness on the guard team member and he heard the team member admire, “Your luck and ability are very good. I was able to wander outside for many days.”
“Then can you let us out and chat in another place?”
Peng Mao asked pitifully.
The guards suddenly had a chill for some reason and he really couldn’t look directly at a muscular man acting like a baby in front of him.
“No. It’s because you have been in contact with zombies many times so you should be isolated and observed.”
Peng Mao curled his lips and sat back on the straw mat.
Hao Jian followed the black-faced man into a large tent. There were a few tables where machinery and documents piled up. Two guards were working. When they saw the black-faced man, they got up and saluted.
“Sit down!” The black-faced man pointed to a stool beside him.
Hao Jian saw her Gurkha army knife and their backpacks on the table in front of the black-faced man. She knew that he had doubts about her origins.
Sure enough, the black-faced man said, “My name is An Minghui. I am an adjutant of the Jiangxin Island Refuge Base Guard. I happen to have some questions to ask Miss Hao. If the ID on the above is correct, you are Miss Hao. Right?”
“Yes. Hao Jian, the market opener.”
“Ms. Hao said that she wanted to exchange information about zombies with us. I wonder what Ms. Hao does?”
“A game streamer.”
An Minghui picked up the army knife and played with it, “So, Miss Hao knows what kind of knife this is and how to use it, so can I take the liberty to ask where this knife came from?”
There was silence for a moment before the man continued, “Miss Hao, don’t get me wrong. I don’t doubt your special identity, but I want to know whether the information you know is worthy of our attention.”
“I recognize this knife, and I know how to use it. After all, it is one of the best melee weapons in games. But unfortunately, I have no other identity except civilian status. As for how I got the knife, I picked it up. You can ask my companions.”
Both Lian Ru Ning and Xin Ting thought her knife was picked up and that the village was t he place where Ding Gu-nian’s group passed by. She was able to fake the origin of the knife to them.
An Minghui did not fully believe her words, but the man gave her the benefit of the doubt, “Then what information about zombies do you know as a civilian? You must know that the news that can be circulated on the internet is already known by the government.”
Hao Jian smiled, “I dare not make an axe in front of national power, so I got a few simple discoveries based on my observations. Zombie viruses can be transmitted through body fluids, such as blood, wounds, and sexual intercourse. Individuals have different physiques and the incubation period is different, but when a person is infected, their vital characteristics will also affect the infection.”
A hint of surprise flashes in An Minghui’s eyes, “Normal people can guess that if they are scratched or bitten by an infected person, they may turn into zombies themselves. The method of transmitting the virus through sex was only discovered a few days ago by experts after many studies and observation.
However, as far as I know, the signal at that time has been interrupted. Only the communications here can be used. Therefore, there should be no news and radio broadcasts. You said you only knew that there was an evacuation base here, but we haven’t encountered people in this city, so how did you know?”
“Then, can I ask why the signal was interrupted? Because of the interruption of the signal, many news will not be communicated and more people have died because of it. If the concealment of the truth was originally to not cause panic, the damage is obvious. you can no longer control this situation, and even millions of people become zombies everyday. After a while, 100 million living people will be considered a good number.”
An Mingui replied, “We’re being asked the same question everyday. Among the next two thousand survivors, there are only 6,000 families. In other words, if you count as a family of three, at least every family has one missing family member. Do you think we deliberately watched the people’s wives and families break up and die? No. You must know that the official reason for blocking the signal is to ensure that there is no other force in the country to cause trouble, in addition to the destruction of the signal tower. Otherwise. . . .”
The meaning of this unfinished sentence is obvious.
Seeing Hao Jian thinking, An Minghui added, “When I discovered that the situation was beyond the control of conventional forces, we were already issued relevant orders to choose a safer place and establish an evacuation base. We have two teams. We were arranged to come to Jiangxin Island, while the others searched and rescued the survivors everyday and moved them to a safe place.”
He paused, “However, a city, a small city like Jiangshi, has a population of several million, but out team members are only a few hundred people. We also have people who die everyday and become zombies to attack out former teammates. . . “
Speaking of what seemed to be some resentment at the end, he saw Hao Jian staring at him. He then recovered and apologized, “Sorry, I shouldn’t tell you this.”
Hao Jian shook her head, “It seems that you were forced by the survivors too hard.”
When this happens, the people must first be held accountable to the government agencies, and then to eliminate danger and rescue victims. They believe in national power and rely on national power, so when their relatives die and their interests are damaged, they will naturally vent their anger to the members of the guards.
An Mingui will not tell Hao Jian what the official order is, but he revealed that the reason why it was broadcasted that there were no evacuation bases was because these bases weren’t very large and had insufficient resources.
If people listened to the radio, they would flock to those places. The sudden increase in the number of people will lead to omissions, and infected individuals may also be mixed in, causing more serious consequences. Even the outskirts will gather a large number of zombies before the personnel have been placed, not to mention that the situation isn’t optimistic.
So the way they chose was to persuade the people to was to hide at home, and then the guards would make adjustments according to the situation of the refuge bases, so that the team members would clean out the zombies in the city everyday, and at the same time convey measures to prevent infection and promote self-rescue to the residents hiding in their homes.
However, it is precisely because the public knows that after having sex with an infected person will also infect them, they will have to manually solve their frustrations.
“Okay, I have said everything that should be said, does Miss Hao want to add something?”
Most of Hao Jian’s news was obtained from the system, and the information revealed by the system was based on human discovery. Therefore, the news that Hao Jian knew was already known by officials. The difference was whether they had time to filter the news and convey them to the common people.
There are still a few pieces of information that she and Lian Ru Ning discovered through observation. She sorted what she knew and told An Minghui.
An Mingui felt that Hao Jian is indeed smarter than most people. at least many of them are obtained from the official news, and Hao Jian can actually find out through observation without news. It can be seen that she is not only smart, but also very cautious and meticulous.
And those who can come here from the opening of the market will at least not be timid when dealing with Zombies.
Courageous and strategic are the talents they desperately need in this period.
“Miss Hao, might as well join us.” An Minghui offered.
Hao Jian replied without hesitation, “It’s a pity that I can’t stay here.”
“You just asked me so much and you’re leaving again? Where did you want to go?”
“Southern City.” Hao Jian didn’t intend to hide it either, after all, An Minghui might know the situation in Southern City.”
An Minghui said, “Then you are really brave, The situation in Nanfang City today is more critical than Jiangshi. If you can come here from the opening of the market because of luck and strength, you must have tent times more luck and strength than you do now if you want to continue south. With a knife and a crowbar, you can’t even break through the outskirts of Southern City.”
An Minghui is telling the truth, because it was where the virus first appeared, and even if there are guards everywhere to wipe the zombies out, the base of the zombies is large. Unless they always get a headshot, they can only waste bullets.
In this case, the guards who fought on the front line also suffered numerous casualties. Therefore, the superiors also gave orders to abandon the city center, seal off that area, and try their best to rescue those who escaped from that hell.
“I have a reason to go.”
Of course, the reason Hao Jian pointed out was not a system task. After all, the system did not say that there was any punishment for task failure. But she is a person who fulfills her promises. Since she agreed to Lian Ru Ning, she will definitely do it unless she is dead.
Behind the iron gate were tents like small hills. Many people hid inside and watched the newcomers – Hao Jian and the others. The people inside were on guard until Hao Jian and her group were isolated in a room surrounded by iron fences, only then did their eyes relaxed.
