Chapter 212 Cangying

"Da da da da da da--"

The sudden gunfire completely eliminated the noise and chaos. When the harsh tremor completely disappeared from the sky above Hongwan Town, all that was left was death-like silence.

Looking at Lin Xiang getting closer and closer, the crowd slowly separated a spacious enough passage to both sides.

Every resident in Hongwan Town knows very well that these strangers in combat uniforms have powerful power and are definitely not the ones they can provoke.

The man's face became very ugly. He was suddenly blocked when his desire was rising. The unbearable rage almost blew the man's head in an instant. Coupled with the wounds of shame and the experience of being ridiculed by everyone, the last reason had already disappeared from his brain.

His face turned sharp, he fisted, roared, and rushed forward without any delay.

"Bang--"

The moment his fist was about to hit the target, Lin Xiang's assault rifle suddenly turned around, and the steel stock hit the man's left cheek. With the crisp sound of his skull being smashed alive, the man's thick body swayed and flew over ten meters away like a broken kite. He was beaten so hard that he rushed towards him, lying on the ground, struggling for a while, and never moving again.

Behind him, the sergeant and all the soldiers, relying on armored vehicles and bulletproof trucks, locked the people gathered in the open space in the center of the shooting circle. Looking at the black muzzles pointed at them, the flames burning in people's hearts quickly extinguished and cooled.

Lin Xiang raised his head and asked in a low and magnetic voice: "Who is not convinced?"

No one answered.

Lin Xiang walked straight to the wooden pole, pulled out the fighting dagger, and cut the rope that tied Bernie hard. He smiled at the grateful face and said, "Go! Go and do what you should do."

Bernie stumbled into the crowd, spreading his trembling hands, and picked up Nelia, who was covered in bruises from the ground. The two of them looked at each other for a long time, with regret, pain, repentance, and joy, and happiness in each other's eyes.

The sergeant held the assault rifle, sat on the roof of the armored truck, patted Molly's shoulder standing beside him, and said with emotion: "I like to see this kind of scene. It's like the prince who rescued the princess from the mouth of the dragon in the old fairy tales. Hehehehe! But then again, this princess is really strong. She dares to fight against everyone with a knife and a gun... Tsk tsk tsk tsk! This girl is indeed fierce."

Molly didn't say anything. She subconsciously held the gun handle in her hand, as if she was thinking, and as if she was feeling...

Tang Hu's face turned blue. He stepped out his feet slightly, moved his body, clenched his fists, and roared angrily at Lin Xiang: "You, what do you want to do? This is not in accordance with the rules-"

"Rules are formulated by the strong-willed-"

Lin Xiang smiled coldly and interrupted him without hesitation: "The psychopath with the third-level evolution is indeed the most powerful existence in this town. Therefore, you can formulate or change the rules here at will, determine the fate of everyone, and control their life and death. Yes, this is the so-called wasteland law. However, like anything in the world, rules cannot exist forever. They will only change with the will of the strong. I want to take these two people away, and I can also understand your anger. Haha! I am a very dedicated person. As long as you can defeat any of my subordinates, you still have the final say here."

A trace of pale flashed across Tang Hu's face, and his eyes contained a suppressed anger.

Lin Xiang's words seemed to give him a considerable range of choices, but in fact this was just a more severe insult than robbing people in public. He carefully investigated these strangers from outside - the members with the worst strength of the other party all had the ability to evolve level five. Fighting against these guys who were no different from monsters is tantamount to seeking death.

As for Lin Xiang... Tang Hu listed him as the most dangerous and terrifying existence. Although he could not feel any supernatural aura from him, people who could command a group of high-level mutant warriors would not dare to provoke him easily even if they did not have supernatural powers.

Bernie slowly walked out of the crowd with Nelia in her arms. His eyes did not stop at the familiar townspeople, and directly looked at the Yinyue City convoy parked outside the crowd.

Here, they no longer have a foothold.

The world is very big, and there is not just one Hongwan Town where you can live.

Amid the deafening roar of the engine, the convoy drove by Tang Hu in sequence, and the mud and water from both sides of the tires splashed his head and face. The soldiers with live ammunition stood in the carriage and looked at him coldly. Through the gap in the middle of the fence, they could also see Bernie and Nelia full of contempt and contempt.

Tang Hu was holding his fist tightly, his brain was beating like crazy at an unbearable speed. His lips were gray and his five knuckles were all blue due to excessive force. His body was even more trembling and he could fall down at any time. It was not until the convoy completely disappeared from his sight that he exhaled a long resentment deep in his heart with a dull moan.

"Mr. Greke won't let you go. He has terrible strength that ordinary people can't imagine. What is level 5 evolution? The city lord's mutation ability is far beyond any level limit. He will easily kill each of you! Hahahaha-"

Tang Hu opened his arms, as if a devil crawled out of the depths of hell, stared at the dark sky with his eyes clenched, gritted his teeth and roared angrily: "...I, I, I will make you, huh! huh! Pay the price for this-"

...   Walking on the rugged road, the car body swayed left and right, and seemed to be unable to maintain balance forever.

"Boss, why didn't you just kill that man named Tang Hu? That guy looks very annoying. I don't think it would be a good idea to let him go." The sergeant sitting in the passenger seat asked quite dissatisfiedly.

"He cannot die before he can perform enough."

Lin Xiang controlled the steering wheel with one hand, flexibly bypassing the deep pit cracks on the road surface that were enough to trap the tires, and pointed at Bernie and Nelia, who were sitting in the armored vehicle behind: "From a certain perspective, they actually have a great degree of loyalty to us. These two people have good psychological qualities and have enough dependence on each other. I need to cultivate a few good agents here. If they provide them with enough materials and strengthening potions, it is easy to form a powerful army. Of course, no one is willing to take the initiative to hand over the power and interests in their hands, and war is inevitable. The original controllers in this area will try every means to eliminate this sudden military force. If they want to transform from ordinary civilians into qualified soldiers, they need more training."

"You mean, that guy... has to be left to that pair of young men?" the sergeant asked thoughtfully.

"Tang Hu was once the most powerful existence in their minds. This is an insurmountable obstacle. To be precise, it is a psychological barrier caused by habits and living environment. That person deserves to die, but they have to clear it themselves. This situation is the same as the problem Molly faces, and no one can help them."

Lin Xiang is no longer the resurrected person who just woke up from his sleep a few years ago and was ignorant of everything. He has gradually adapted to the survival law full of radiant wasteland world, and tried to subtly modify it according to his needs. There is no doubt that Yinyue City will become his future power center. However, "strength" cannot be stabilized by one city and one land. He needs to establish more settlements and more managers. Gliffiz and Elena can temporarily satisfy his power maintenance requirements and desires, but he must also gain more confidants and confidants - as long as the other party has enough loyalty and belief, he can give the other party the most powerful power.

The sergeant looked at the backward scenery outside the window, suddenly turned his head and asked seriously: "Boss, do you have insurmountable psychological barriers?"

Lin Xiang didn't say anything. After a long time, he nodded slowly.

Everyone has obstacles, it depends on how you face them.

Sosbia, Ferdinand, the Claws, the Knights of the Skeleton... They are all opponents and enemies that they must defeat.

For some reason, Lin Xiang suddenly remembered what Claude said before his death - "Stay away from the Red Republican Army and stay away from them."

The Republican Army...what kind of force is it?

...  Cang Cinema is a city built on the ruins of the old era.

This place has been attacked by nuclear bombs and is a severe radiation area that cannot be inhabited by humans. However, due to the construction of anti-radiation force fields inside the city, the threat of rays to the human body has also been reduced to the lowest point.

Maintaining the operation of the force field requires a lot of energy. The reason why Cang Cinema can exist is due to a tidal power station built on the nearby coast. In addition to maintaining the force field, the energy produced must also meet the requirements of purifying the daily drinking water, lighting, food processing and other aspects of residents in the city. Therefore, although Cang Cinema is located in a huge ruin in the old era, the actual radiation-resistant area that can be used for residence is very limited, accounting for less than one-twentieth of the area equivalent to the old city.

Although it has a huge area and densely packed buildings, the number of residents of Cang Cinema is not as large as it seems on the surface. There are only more than 20,000 people here. The huge building complex left over from the old era provides people with enough housing, but cannot meet their needs in other aspects.

For example, water.

It is near the sea, but there is no water to drink. It may sound funny, but it is the biggest problem that almost all eastern coast cities and settlements must face.

The key to maintaining a city's existence is electricity.

In the old days, the eastern coastal areas were densely populated areas with a high degree of development. They had a prosperous civilization and commercial network and were the most important part of the entire country. Because of this, after the outbreak of the war, it became a key area for concentrated attacks by nuclear warheads.

Without the energy field generated by the radiation protection device, all residents of Cang Cinema will be exposed to radiation threats exceeding the limit, and the power that can be used to purify the water can only meet the needs of 30,000 people at most.

Although it is located near the sea and has extremely rich food resources, it completely blocks the heavy radiation area that covers tens of thousands of square kilometers around the city. Without high concentrations of radiation-resistant agents, entering the heavy radiation area without authorization is tantamount to suicide. Residents in the city who lack large means of transportation cannot trade with the outside world, and can only stay in the open and silently die in the huge ruins.

…Lin Xiang couldn't help but frown slowly at the slender pointer on the radiation detector that was facing the right side of the fan display screen, as if it was firmly absorbed by the red area without any movement.

This place is not far from Cang Cinema, but the radiation content measured from the soil is 316 times more than Yinyue City.

Due to the mutation of the virus in the body, Lin Xiang had no sense of radiation. After receiving his blood, the team members completely transformed their bodies and fused some genes, their resistance to radiation increased significantly. Even new recruits like Molly who had just joined the City Guards and took enhancement potions for no more than one month also had a much more resistant ability to radiation than ordinary people.

Bernie and Nelia are different. Although Hongwan Town is also a heavily polluted radiation area, it is centered on the town and has a diameter of about ten kilometers, but it is a mild radiation area with low ray content. Once you leave, your physique is no different from that of ordinary people and they must take resistance drugs on time every day.

When he left Yinyue City, Lin Xiang had already made full preparations. The food, ammunition and batteries in the car were enough to last for more than two months, and the reserves of medicines were also abundant. Taking a step back, even if the resistance agents were exhausted, Lin Xiang would use his own blood to transform the two young people.

...   On the distant horizon, an irregular line appeared that seemed to be built randomly with scattered building blocks. It was curved and of different heights. Against the backdrop of the blue-gray sky, it seemed like the teeth in the mouth of a monster, which made people feel heart-pounding.

This is a magnificent city.

Living in a wasteland with scarce resources, it is difficult for the new generation of humans to understand how the ancestors of the old era created such a brilliant and great civilization. They cannot imagine how much material it would cost to build a city. Even if they have the concept of inculcated scientific thinking in their minds, they still do not understand the almost wasteful behavior of humans in the old era. Of course, they do not think that everything their ancestors did was wrong, but just search for old books and all materials for research in the ruins. The old era called this behavior "archaeology". Now, it is called "finding lost civilization."

A highway with a width of more than 30 meters connects Cang Cinema with the wilderness from the southwest. The road leading to the outside of the city is crowded with tens of thousands of vehicle wreckage. Most of them are left with broken frames, and the tires made of rubber collapse on the ground like mud. The mottled painted shells can no longer distinguish their original colors. Scattered parts and various types of hoses, and containers are everywhere. Through the broken windows and open doors, the messy human bones in the car can be seen. Some maintain their posture before death, while others are gnawed unrecognizable by mutant creatures. Their colors are as gray as the sky full of radiant clouds. Perhaps, they will always be kept.

The curved and deformed central isolation rail divides the road into two distinct parts. It is completely different from the crowded and crowded direction that leaves the city. The road surface entering the city is so empty that it is almost impossible to find any debris. Although time can erase all traces left in the world, when seeing such a shocking scene in front of you, anyone can clearly imagine how fear, anxious and desperate people living in the old cities were abandoning everything they had and fleeing wildly.

After stepping on the brakes, the off-road vehicle slowly stopped in the middle of the road. Lin Xiang, who looked cold and solemn, pushed open the door, stepped over the isolation rail, climbed onto the roof of a Golden Dragon bus with several vague words "China Southern Tourism Company" printed on the door, and stood silently.

The road is winding and long.

The crowded traffic was like a giant snake made of countless mechanical parts, lying on the road dyingly, unable to see the head or find the tail.

Close your eyes slightly, half tilt your head, feeling the cold wind coming to your face, and the coldness brought by the snowflakes slowly falling from the sky, quickly melting the snowflakes on your face.

Lin Xiang seemed to have returned to the world nearly a century ago.

The roaring car engine roared, deafening and harsh horns, the men fists and feet in cursing, the cry of the old man covered in blood, the woman sitting on the ground, the desperate and helpless begging, and the shrill screams made by the child under the trampling of countless legs and feet... In the end, all the noise and chaos suddenly appeared in the sky, the light with a blazing and brighter than the sun, completely and forever swallowed.

A warm and dampness slowly appeared in the eyes, and everything in the sight gradually became blurred. When the eyes could no longer accommodate the sour liquid and could only let them roll down their faces, the scenery that was squeezed by tears and shook and shook again, and it also returned to its original clarity and transparency.

This world can no longer be restored to its original state.

Living is a kind of luck.

But when you are the only one left in the world, protecting the emptiness and loneliness alone, you will only feel unprecedented fear and sadness.

"I am not alone. I have Jiajia, friends, and... Yinyue City."
