Section 138: Law Code

Perhaps because Lin Xiang had a military status in the old era, starting from the initial Yinyue Town, this small settlement was developed under his guidance through armed separatist methods.

The degree of expansion of a person's ambition is often tacitly coordinated with strength and the amount of resources in his hands. A beggar who is half-starved wants to have a full meal with meat. A king with a country's land dreams of dominating the world. Although their goals are different, in terms of the intensity of their thinking and desires, they are actually the same.

Lin Xiang also has ambitions. People who are resurrected from the dead usually have a clearer and more thorough understanding of the concept of life.

In the old era of peace, "separation" was just a word that could exist only in legends. The banner of harmony was red all over the earth, and the glory of the party and the government warmed people's hearts. Not to mention the unrealistic fantasy of separatism and cracking the soil, even possessing a gun and making grenades is a serious crime to behead. The law and the social morality of balanced people restricted the most violent and terrible desires in the subconscious of human beings. Regardless of the conflicts of interest and entanglements between this system and freedom, in that era of civilization, people were at least safe.

In a wasteland world full of radiation, building guns, cannons and explosives is an enviable advanced skill. Everyone needs to protect themselves. Since order and law have collapsed, only by using their own hands, plus violence, cruelty, and cold blood, can one ensure that their body does not become the meat cooked by others in the pot.

From naked without a fig leaf, even weapons, from poor ghosts with scrap steel bars everywhere in the ruins, to the city lord who actually has the power to the land and controls the life and death of nearly 10,000 people, Lin Xiang's identity has undergone earth-shaking changes. If this kind of identity and power is gradually strengthened into the process of poor and idle workers working hard to squeeze into the upper class of society in the old era, then to apply Marx's words - he has actually completed the "primitive accumulation of capital."

Lin Xiang is not the nouveau riche who eats pork today and dreams of tasting lobster tomorrow. His initial plan was just to make Yinyue Town safer and richer, and become a safe haven for him to survive in this chaotic world. However, the facts can never change with people's subjective thinking. It takes only one night to develop from a town into a city. However, how to defend this land of power that belongs to him and not overturn and perish under the attacks of chaotic wars and countless mutant creatures is the biggest problem he really faces.

He never thought of saving this world. The end of the savior was always associated with terrible terms such as tragedy, death, and slaughter. In the old school textbooks, he often saw words like "remembering the heroes of xx", and later generations also built various monuments and museums for these figures who made great contributions. But the noble behavior that only entrusted human eternal thoughts and beautiful morals was useless to cruel reality. The identity of a hero afterwards cannot bring any good luck, nor can you become superior to others. On the contrary, when disaster comes, people's most common behavior is to throw out a few so-called heroes standing in front and charging into battle. But he hid in the safest place, while shed tears of emotion, while waving his fists and shouting "Come on."

Hitler, the Nazi leader who subverted the world, once said- "Our struggle can only have two consequences, either the enemy steps over our bodies, or we steps over our bodies."

Lin Xiang's idea coincides with this - "I want to establish my order within my sphere of influence. Do my best to protect my rights and interests from infringement."

Only in this way can we protect our dearest, favorite, and the most inseparable person.

The "Vulture" mercenary group is the name of the armed organization claimed by Yinyue City to the outside world. No one was surprised or had too many objections. Even Ferdinand and Sosbia, two forces that formed their neighbors, only added a name that did not have any practical significance to the list of military agencies around the region, but added key marks to the end.

There is no order in this world. Rulers like Meng Yi who occupy a small town with a pistol are almost everywhere. The process of power replacement is much simpler than in the old days. The power that can be easily obtained with a bullet makes people enjoy this bloody and dirty game. In a civilized society that is destroyed, power means wealth and countless things you want. In the wasteland world, the meaning of power is relatively direct - if you have power, you can watch others starve to death and have enough food, you can watch others die of thirst and you can be extravagant to take a bath with water.

There are mercenary teams and armed organizations everywhere in each settlement. Their names are diverse and their equipment is diverse. The scope of activities is fixed in the wilderness or near the edges of mob and refugee camps according to their respective strengths. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, the new name of the "Vulture" mercenary group is just a strange synonym like the armed forces. If you really have to find any special meaning from it, it is that its appearance makes this world, which is already full of chaos, even more chaotic.

This kind of thinking may represent the majority of people, but it definitely does not include the residents of Yinyue City. In their eyes, those guys who are qualified to be selected as "vultures" are all powerful, fierce and violent professional soldiers.

Eight hundred level five enhancement potions, this is a very large and terrifying number that is scary enough to be feared.

This means that Hidden Moon City can obtain hundreds of enhanced high-level warriors in the shortest time. Compared with ordinary soldiers, their guns are more accurate, their perception range is larger, and their combat effectiveness is stronger. They may not have rich combat experience like veterans who have experienced many battles, but their growth rate and self-improvement ability are far superior to ordinary people. As long as they have rigorous training, armed, and undergo a few essential battles, they will be more fierce, cruel, and bloodthirsty than real vultures.

All institutions have their own armed forces. According to combat functions and actual abilities, they are usually divided into two parts: family guards and ordinary army. The former is usually composed of first-level evolved people or higher-level reinforced people. Of course, this composition method is not fixed. Family institutions will recruit combatants of varying strength according to their respective financial resources, resources, weapons and equipment and other additional factors. It takes a lot of resources to form a superpower army, and maintaining it requires unimaginable huge funds. Taking Ferdinand and Sosbia, which control the western and eastern regions respectively, as an example, the direct family guards are only less than 500 people, but they consume more than one-third of the resources of the two major families' normal income to be maintained.

As for ordinary troops, to put it bluntly, they are armed civilians who have simple training and simple weapons. They have low combat effectiveness and are far inferior to those of the guards. But they also have their own advantages - they have very few employed resources and low maintenance fees. As long as they have enough food and water, they can easily attract a large number of hungry refugees to form an army. Moreover, the number is extremely large.

Lin Xiang acted like a nouveau riche showing off everywhere. Before the convoy entered Yinyue City, he followed his order to pull all the cloaks covering the top of the car, so that every onlooker could see the surface of the refrigerated medicine box, and the doctors' association lancet logo painted with silver lacquer. When the goods were unloaded from the car, they "accidentally" knocked over a freezer. Although the syringe-type medicine dropped on the ground was quickly recycled, everyone present clearly saw the transparent plastic test tubes that were densely packed with each other and emitted a lilac luster under the dazzling sunlight.

Lin Xiang didn't want to hide it. He wanted to let all those who peek at Yinyue City understand that he already had the same powerful strength as they were, even far beyond expectations. In many cases, the powerful effect was not just face-to-face battles and killing. Threats and shock shots could also achieve a stable effect.

Two days later, under the leadership of Wang Biao and Yang Hua, 500 civilian soldiers selected for the "Vulture" mercenary group received potion injections. Within a week, there were only two parasitic commanders, three level 8 evolutionary captains, and two hundred selected from the indigenous people in the city. After the potion improved their bodies and members with level 5 evolutionary strength, the mercenary group, which had supplementary 500 second-level evolutionary soldiers, also became a medium-sized combat group with nearly 1,000.

The medicines that everyone takes come from Lin Xiang.

The Joint Doctors Association has the most advanced biotechnology in the world. Despite this, the strengthening agents they developed still have inevitable defects and side effects. Under normal circumstances, the strengthening agents will cause great harm to the body of the user. This is a hormone drug that forcibly enhances internal organs. The stimulation is mainly based on muscles and bones. Cells that are forced to increase their activity will cause direct damage to the heart, lungs and central nervous system. Although the body's combat ability can be improved in a short period of time, the damage is also obvious - from level one to level five, the life of the injected person will be greatly shortened. Under normal circumstances, the life of the first-level strengthening person shall not exceed 50 years, and from the date of taking the fifth-level strengthening person, he can only survive for about three to five years.

Despite this, there are still countless ordinary people who hand over their life savings to doctors in various cities in exchange for the opportunity to get rid of ordinary things and become powerful. This behavior that was absolutely abnormal in the old era is not difficult to understand - instead of struggling hard every day in an environment where half hungry and half full and even the most basic living state cannot guarantee, it is better to grit your teeth and use all your money and the life that is forcibly shortened in the future to exchange for an enviable and rich life.

Being able to eat and wear warmly is actually the greatest happiness.

Not every user can get strengthened, especially the best-effect fifth-level medicine. Due to the unstable state of the cells that constitute the hormone and the different constitutions of each person receiving the injection, the probability of successful strengthening remains between 30 and 35%. Once the strengthening fails, the injector will die on the spot due to serious damage to the central nervous system. Lucky people who are slightly better will also lose their thinking and sense of five senses and become completely useless people.

The enhancer mixed with Lin Xiang's own blood is not in danger in this regard. As Liu Yuchen said: "This agent has almost perfect qualities. It is suitable for humans with all physical constitutions. It will not produce resistance and does not have common physiological rejection." Every injector can be strengthened by physical fitness, and this ability will not have a closed destructive effect on the body due to the strong stimulation of the drug itself. The ability induced by it is a real evolutionary ability.

Use evolution potion to pretend to be a strengthening potion to acquire a large number of evolutionary warriors in the name of transforming strengthening soldiers. This is his plan.

Liu Yuchen guessed correctly. Lin Xiang didn't need it at all, and there was no need to use such things developed by the Joint Doctors Association. His only purpose was to use this large number of potions to cover up the eyes and ears. It was natural and reasonable to replace strengthening with evolution. Under everyone's noses, he had an amazing number of elite troops.

For self-interest and mutual cooperation, it is impossible for the doctors to join forces, and there is no reason to disclose Lin Xiang's secrets. This tacit cooperation may not last too long, but in Lin Xiang's view, this just gives him and Yinyue City enough time to develop. When his own strength and strength expand to a certain level, whether it is secret or not is actually the key to the problem.

In addition to the first indigenous people in the city who had contacted him, Lin Xiang was not sure that the newly attached refugees living outside the city had strong loyalty to him, and he did not believe in the civilians who moved from the Flame City. Therefore, the 500 soldiers who were elected to the mercenary group all came from those civilians who had family members after strict inspection.

"We must establish legal norms that can control the city and form a set of our own unique social hierarchy in the shortest time. Only in this way can the residents in the city truly have a sense of belonging and responsibility, and can we hold everything firmly in our hands."

This was the result of his discussion with Wang Biao and other city supervisors at a meeting.

The new "Hidden Moon City Code" was soon promulgated. According to regulations, all residents of Yin Moon City will be divided into two major classes of citizens and citizens according to their actual capabilities and different levels of contribution to the city. Citizens enjoy privileges that are superior to citizens, can live in the inner city, and have guarantees and treatments in health, medical care, safety, etc. Citizens are divided into six levels from a to f according to the length of time they enter the city and their contribution. They have different rights and obligations in terms of residence, trade, farming, and tax payment. Among them, the lowest F-level citizens can accumulate merit and contributions and gradually upgrade to higher levels. After being recognized by the Joint Urban Committee of the City, they can be promoted to true citizens.

Social hierarchy and identity, these words that sound pretty good, are not attractive to civilians. What they like more are the laws that seem jaw-dropping in the Code.

Private property is sacred and inviolable.

Those who kill, steal, robbery, rape and other acts within the city will be subject to court judgment and relevant punishments.

The dignity of urban residents cannot be questioned. Without being reviewed by the joint committee or the city lord, no one shall deprive the right of residence without authorization...

There are many such regulations and decrees. Although the level of detail is not enough to be comparable to the legal charters of the old era, in the chaotic radiation world, it symbolizes that an independent social group is gradually forming and improving.

Civilians can only see the most practical things. Compared to their identity and reputation that are worthless, they are more concerned about the bread and water they will eat, whether the house they sleep at night is leaking, and whether their wife and daughter will be snatched away by others and riding them under their crotch and wantonly ravage...

In the wasteland world, strength means speaking.

Take refugees in the wilderness as an example. If you shoot someone in the head with one shot and the onlookers next to you do not object to or object to this violence, then you can naturally accept all the inheritance of the deceased, food, water, clothes...and of course, women and children.

This kind of rough and barbaric action is not only effective in refugee camps, but also plays the same role in large and densely populated settlements. If you must find some subtle difference, it is probably that the process of plunder and occupation will be more complicated, and there will be more bystanders who need to be recognized.

If all the regulations in the Code can be implemented, a highly supportive group with a city-centered approach will be quickly formed in the shortest time. Citizens will unite closely around Lin Xiang, spontaneously protect the supreme leader who made the initiative, and seriously obey every order of his.

As more and more people have citizenship, Yinyue City will focus on Lin Xiang and gather a group of winners who firmly support him. This is not loyalty, but support. Only by using this method can they ensure that their interests are not violated.

This is actually not a clever means of rule. Looking at the history of human beings in the old era, there are many governance methods that can be adopted. Other powerful family institutions also understand this, but they did not do so. They still rigidly and stubbornly guard the disorder of the wasteland world.

It’s not that they don’t want to, but that they really don’t have the ability to change.
