Chapter 232 The Throne and the Dry Bones
Even in an era of extreme poverty and precarious material life, the residence used to entertain Shen Bai in Gasoline Town was still relatively good.
——Next to Mayor Luo’s hut, close to the center, is a spacious and bright “two-in, two-out” building.
When it was time to eat, Gasoline Town presented the meat, which was the most tender breast meat of the mutated beast. After roasting, it was full of aroma, and then rolled with wild vegetables from the mountains. It was delicious.
This is definitely a rare delicacy for the residents of Gasoline Town. Although they often fight mutant beasts and can get a lot of beast corpses, most of the meat of these mutant monsters that live on killing is not appetizing and tastes like sand and rubber. , because of this, people in the federal era would breed special meat animals, and even gave birth to the "Hercules Group", one of the top ten business empires, in this field.
Naturally, the work of serving people would not be done by rough men. It was two girls who brought delicious meat to Shen Bai.
They are not very old, and although they are not exactly shy, they have the youthful vitality of their age. What is even more rare is that they are twins.
——There are very knowledgeable people in Gasoline Town.
Seeing the two girls pouting and hesitating to speak, Shen Bai sighed secretly in his heart. At this period, human beings were still struggling on the verge of death, martial arts had just begun to spread, and it was difficult for women to have a high status.
He waved his hand, cut off two pieces of the roasted meat and gave them to them, then asked the two of them to leave the yard. He sat on a wicker chair to enjoy the breeze, and stuffed the remaining food into his mouth piece by piece.
The smell of the evening breeze is not pleasant. As its name suggests, Gasoline Town is engaged in the fuel business. There are simple oil wells not far outside the city. Relying on this unique resource advantage, the lives of residents in this town are better than those in most gathering places. Much better.
Shen Bai is a warrior in the Tyrant Body Realm. He is strong and strong. The cold wind will not make him shiver. The cold and hard meat has a different taste. After eating, he returns to the house and no longer thinks about this utopian retest. Thinking that he was a warrior of this era, he fell asleep.
On the second day, General Mobilization began in Gasoline Town.
In the small square in the center, Mayor Luo recruited a lot of manpower. Hundreds of experienced engineers took various tools and began to modify large and small vehicles. They changed the tires and installed ejection hooks on the roofs. Lock and clean the car body with boiling water.
Until now, Shen Bai didn't know what the strange smell was on the clothes of the residents in the town.
——It’s dried feces!
Mutated beasts retain some of the habits of beasts, and they also release their own scent factors to delineate their territories. People in this era often go to the territories of war-level beasts to collect excrement, and then bring it back to the gathering place to dry and grind. Sprinkle it into powder on clothes.
Many vehicles in Gasoline Town are often smeared with this powder in order to avoid being attacked by the mutant beasts. Therefore, in order to capture the toothless sea dragon, the smell must be washed away first.
People who are organized, hopeful, and planned in an era of chaos are more in line with Shen Bai's idea of apocalyptic survivors.
As for that weird dark age... Shen Bai could only see if there was a chance to go there again in the future to solve the messy mysteries.
When he was very busy, Tie Laowu pushed Mayor Luo out and stopped beside Shen Bai.
The old man, who had no feeling in his lower limbs, looked at the busy scene in front of him and sighed:
"Mr. Xiaobai, nearly a thousand young people will be dispatched to Gasoline Town this time, which will almost wipe out their family wealth. If there is an accident, the remaining soldiers, women and children will definitely not survive this winter."
"Mayor Luo, is this a bit too much? It's okay to go out in full force and achieve the goal. If something unexpected happens..."
"Mr. Xiaobai, time waits for no one." Mayor Luo interrupted him and continued:
"When I was young, we humans were never as powerful as we are now. In one gathering place, there were two heavy-fire machine guns and more than ten usable cars, so I could just have some fun."
"However, as more and more research institutes in the scientific era are discovered, we have obtained a lot of technical information, and have regained control of the weapon of science. We can forge firearms and heavy artillery, have powerful gathering places, and even launch a nuclear weapons program.
!”
"As our forces become stronger, the enemy has also changed its strategy... Alas, the mutants, these races that look almost the same as humans, also have intelligence that is not inferior to ours."
"They cut off the roads between towns, poisoned water sources, and instigated rebellion and alienated human groups... In short, if we don't take any action, Gasoline Town may not survive the next year." He paused and continued:
"Instead of waiting for death to come slowly, it is better to take a chance while you have the strength!"
Shen Bai sighed secretly and patted the old man's skinny shoulder.
From the beginning to the end, the aberrations have been the enemy of mankind. They possess advanced intelligence, are born with genetic superpowers, have strong social organization capabilities, and can also practice human martial arts!
On the battlefield in the underground world, the brothers and sisters of the Wujiang family had a great impact on him.
The mutants do have the ability and the possibility to annihilate all humans.
From this era to the future federal society, the prevention and vigilance against aberrations have never been relaxed for a moment. In this year's crazy October cultural exam, there was an essay question called "If you were a member of a border regiment"
Commander, how should we suppress or even destroy the neighboring aberrant tribe?"
Because they knew how powerful each other was, they became hostile and vowed to exterminate each other's clan.
Mayor Luo obviously understood the threat of abnormal mutants. He was silent for a while and then continued:
"Mr. Xiaobai, I am very grateful that you can accompany us on the adventure, but the mutant is so powerful. Please promise me that if nothing happens, you will leave us and run away immediately! You have the power of martial arts, and you are more worthy of living.
."
"Mayor Luo, there is no distinction between high and low in human life..."
"No, yes." The old man chuckled. He was born in the Darkest Age and grew up in the Rebellion Period. He has seen too many cruel things. His outlook on life is very different from that of young people from the Federation Era like Shen Bai.
:
"Mr. Xiaobai, everyone has only one life and its value is immeasurable. However, some people, because of their outstanding force, intelligence, power, financial resources... can have an impact on too many people. The decisions they make,
It's like throwing a huge boulder into a flat lake, it can easily cause splashes of water."
"The death of ordinary people can only make their family members and companions sad, but the lives of some people are related to the direction of a war, or even the fate of an ethnic group."
"In that case, how can there be no distinction between high and low?"
"Mr. Xiaobai, as we humans are struggling to survive surrounded by aberrations and mutant beasts, we must know how to catch the big ones and let go the small ones..."
"There is nothing we can do, but in order to survive, we have to do this."
Shen Bai remained silent, he understood that human values change with the times, and in order to adapt to this era, everyone must sacrifice.
He knew that not only in the era of rebellion, but also in the powerful federal society, the heroes on the border had made huge sacrifices to protect humanity.
