Chapter 287 There will always be someone who stands up and chases the light
Li Zhongren looked at the man not far away.
He could feel the other person's aura, which was very powerful.
He should be the leader of this camp.
As the saying goes, without investigation, there is no right to speak.
Although Li Harry emphasized that this world seems to be ruled by the law of the dark forest, hunting each other among extraordinary people should be the norm.
However, he still didn't do it.
Because he firmly believed in one thing: humans did evolve from animals, but not all people are animals.
Otherwise, humans would not have such a brilliant civilization before the end of the world. If humans are inherently hopeless, they would always follow the law of survival of the fittest, and perhaps humans would remain in the Dark Ages forever.
But, no.
There will always be someone who stands up and chases the light.
In fact, it’s not a big deal to have super powers to plunder. Before the end of the world, money will do.
You can spend the money you steal as you wish.
However, before the end of the world, social order has developed to the point where basically no one will rob because the cost outweighs the gain.
Therefore, Li Zhongren firmly believes that after the end of the world, the order of the world will be in chaos for a period of time, or even for a long time.
However, as time goes by.
Everything will slowly settle like a cup of turbid water.
This was especially true when he saw the survivors' camp.
Just four words: well-organized.
The glass windows of the building are so dense that they are countless, and all are painted black to prevent reflections from attracting flying monsters.
On the ground, there were deep and wide trenches, tall and thick walls, metal gates, and heavy machine guns.
I don’t know where this guy got all this from, but one thing is certain.
This guy's ability is probably related to magnetism, otherwise, such a project would definitely not be something that ordinary people could accomplish after the industrial chain was destroyed after the apocalypse.
"You guys, stand here."
Li Zhongren disguised himself as a survivor and followed their search team here. Then, under the guidance of the search team, he walked to an open space.
Not far away, there was a girl with white hair and red eyes, a typical white cat loli.
In front of her, there is a concave lens.
Then, she raised her hand, and her body began to emit light, which passed through the concave lens and enveloped the four or five of them.
fiery.
This was Li Zhongren’s first feeling.
Then, this kind of heat actually penetrated into their bodies through their pores.
"Zizi~~"
"Zizi~~"
Li Zhongren saw clearly that black smoke was coming out of the bodies of several people who came with him, including himself. The smoke was ignited and evaporated under the sunlight, and finally disappeared without a trace.
After the black fog disappeared, he even felt his body somewhat relieved.
"What is this?"
On the side, the person leading them explained.
"That person is our deputy battalion commander. Her ability is the light of purification. When the light she emits shines on a person's body, it can dispel the remaining virus in the body. Although after the first wave of infection, people who have not mutated will no longer be directly infected and turned into monsters, the virus still remains in the body. If a person is always in a negative state, he or she will still mutate."
"However, as you are exposed to the outside world for a long time, you will be infected with the virus again and again. Therefore, in my survivor camp, people have to undergo regular disinfection and of course psychological counseling."
As he spoke, the navigator clapped his hands.
"First of all, congratulations on joining the camp of long-term survivors."
"Secondly, congratulations on passing the screening. The light just now can not only help you remove the virus in your body, but also identify monsters. Some monsters can transform, and under the reflection of the purifying light, they will be exposed."
"Finally, let me tell you about the rules of the survivor camp."
"We don't keep idle people here."
"If you want to be protected here, you have to do something, anything, as long as it is beneficial to the camp."
"Also, our camp has a strict hierarchy. Different levels have different rights in the camp. If you want to be promoted, you have to make enough contributions to the camp. In short, the capable ones are promoted and the mediocre ones are demoted."
"You know what I mean."
"clear."
"Okay, now, you follow our deputy battalion commander. She will create a file for you. You must tell us clearly what you can do and what you are good at. People who are not good at anything can also do hard labor. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely survive."
"interesting."
Li Zhongren stopped talking and followed the white-haired girl into the building, but he couldn't help feeling a little curious in his heart.
According to the strict rules of this camp, everyone here should be lawful, so why would the two people I killed have such great malice towards me? Even thinking about digging out my so-called crystal core?
But soon, Li Zhongren understood.
group.
Along the way, everyone here has a proud look on their faces.
I am proud to be a member of this camp, and everything revolves around Lu Changjiu.
So, those two people did not have any ill will towards him, but they could do anything for their leader, which is what is called serving each other's master.
This mode of governance
how to say?
Li Zhongren cannot be said to be bad, but unless this Lu Changjiu can always be the most powerful one, once he has a problem, the entire order here will collapse. The order of a camp depends on one person.
Even in the extraordinary world, it is not a wise decision.
However, this has nothing to do with him. He has two purposes for coming here. The first is to secretly observe the camp. If the other party is destined to become an enemy, then he must be prepared.
But now it seems, not.
The other party doesn't care at all about those who died while exploring outside.
In their words, life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God.
They will not send people out of the camp to rescue you. The camp's strength will only ensure the safety of the camp itself.
Second, he actually has nowhere else to go. If the environment here is good, it is not impossible for him to settle down here temporarily.
"Name?"
In a room, a loli with a white cat and red eyes, wearing a mask, sat opposite Li Zhongren, holding a piece of paper in her hand.
"Li Zhongren."
"age."
"20 is old."
"What did you do before?"
"student."
"What will it do?"
"He's very strong. It should be a superpower after the mutation."
"Oh?"
The white-haired loli raised her eyebrows and then stretched out her hand.
It is also white, and it is the white of albinism.
Obviously, this is probably because she was born with albinism. "What do you mean?"
"Arm wrestling."
"But didn't they say that you are a person with super powers that can control light?"
"Yes and no."
The white-haired loli shook her head.
"bring it on."
Li Zhongren shook hands with her.
In an instant, the opponent's body seemed to be glowing, and then a huge force instantly pressed down his wrist.
"I wipe?"
Li Zhongren couldn't help but blink.
Li Harry also said that he had a chance of defeating the leader of that camp. Now it seems that those two guys have no idea of the true strength of these people. Of course, it is also possible that he has to use the various props that Li Harry gave him. After all, those extraordinary props are still very unreasonable.
"Yes, it's very powerful, and it's pure physical strength."
"You can join the extraordinary team in the camp."
"Are you so happy about this? Aren't you afraid that I'm an undercover agent sent by another organization?"
"So, guess why I used my powers on you when I entered the camp?"
The white-haired loli smiled slightly behind her mask.
"If you come here with hostility, I will be able to sense it."
"sharp."
Li Zhongren nodded, but did not ask what the other party's abilities were. After all, he did have some quality.
"So, what's this Power Rangers gonna do?"
"First, guard the camp."
"Second, explore the outside world and collect extraordinary resources."
The white-haired loli spoke.
"The leader will not leave the camp. He is the pillar of the camp. With him here, no one can threaten the camp. Therefore, this is a safe zone, a place where we can let down all our guard, rest in peace, and recuperate."
"So, I will lead the Extraordinary Team to explore the outside world."
"Of course, we don't go out every day. Our time is also precious. Usually, ordinary people who go out find similar places and bring the news to us. Then we go to explore that place. The camp gets half of what we get, and the remaining half is divided among us according to our merits."
"The reason why you have to give" half of the land to the camp is that the camp guarantees your retreat, the Extraordinary Team. No matter what kind of injury you suffer, the camp will provide you with treatment and will also guarantee all the expenses you consume during the period of injury.
"learn."
"Then I wish us happy cooperation."
The white-haired loli stretched out her hand again.
She looks slender and delicate, but is actually as tough as steel. To be honest, Li Zhongren is very curious about her abilities.
-
"A wild extraordinary being, probably came here because of his reputation."
On the top floor, the white-haired loli reported everything to Lu Changjiu.
"He doesn't have any hostility towards us, but he has a critical attitude, like an investigator."
“Sometimes”
Lu Changjiu couldn't help but smile.
"Maybe he's an idealist like me. What's his strength?"
"I used my mind's light to detect it. On paper, his strength is average, but his physical strength is very strong, far exceeding the human level. If we must compare horizontally, he is roughly the size of a large truck?"
"That's not bad. It's also a dimensionality reduction attack when placed in a crowd. But do you have any other perceptions?"
"Well, the light of my mind reminded me of the danger. He must have some other trump cards. Maybe he has multiple abilities, such as the crystal cores of other superpowers."
"It's possible, but I always felt that it was a trap."
Lu Changjiu shook his head slightly.
“But we have no evidence at the moment.”
"What evidence do you need? If we infer from the most fundamental point of view, this is the means by which we humans kill each other."
"So, you have been studying this matter all this time?"
"Well, I need to produce evidence to explain to the people in the camp not to use other people's crystal cores directly. If there is no evidence, then I will block the ascent path of others. Okay, go ahead and get busy."
"Okay, Chief."
The white-haired loli nodded, turned and left.
She admired the chief because he established a long-term survivor camp, but she also felt that the chief was a little difficult to approach because he seemed to want to be a saint.
Fortunately, she stayed here just for a stable environment. As long as the leader had good intentions, it didn't matter.
"Deputy Battalion Commander, the expedition team is back."
After leaving the top floor, the intercom on the white-haired loli's waist rang.
"Okay, I'll come right away."
After saying that, she went straight out of the window, and flew to the ground wrapped in light. Not far away, a fully armed truck stopped outside the gate of the camp. She raised her hand and a ray of light shone on the truck. A large amount of black smoke was burned away. Then, the gate of the camp opened to let the truck in.
"Report to Deputy Battalion Commander Liu."
After the truck stopped, a group of people got off the truck. They were orderly and each performed their duties. Some were carrying supplies, some were treating the wounded, and the leader came to the white-haired loli.
"We found an extraordinary fluctuation point in San Francisco, 70 kilometers away. The fluctuation range is very large. We dare not get close. Here is the map."
"You've worked hard. Go down and have a rest."
"Yes!"
"Someone, call the Power Rangers, come alive."
The white-haired loli shook her neck, stretched her body, and called through the intercom.
An off-road vehicle was running on the road. The roar of its engine attracted many monsters, but these monsters could not keep up with the speed of the off-road vehicle. After following for a distance, they dispersed. After humans became monsters, their behaviors, in addition to some original characteristics, became more animalistic, and their intelligence was greatly reduced.
Of course, this is a good thing. After all, it is intelligence that allows humans to stand at the top of the earth.
Liu Fan drove the off-road vehicle at lightning speed.
There was also a woman sitting in the co-pilot seat. She was the vice-captain of the Power Rangers. On weekdays when Liu Fan was not around, she would handle related matters, similar to the role of a secretary. Behind her were three men, and Li Zhongren was the last to join.
At this moment, the deputy captain was explaining to Li Zhongren the knowledge of detecting these extraordinary strongholds.
"The so-called extraordinary stronghold."
"In fact, there are elite-level mutant monsters or mutant items here. They emit special fluctuations, which can be sensed through instruments. The instruments were made by the leader. The entire camp relies on this thing to radiate the surrounding area and find all available resources."
"Then, regarding the search of the stronghold, everything must be done according to Liu Fan's orders."
Li Zhongren’s position is that of a firepower man.
Because he has great strength, the weapon assigned to him is a heavy six-barreled Gatling gun, equipped with a mountain of ammunition boxes.
These were also made by the chief, freshly made.
Li Zhongren then realized that the other party's ability was to control magnetic fields, or something like metal.
He just raised his hand, and countless parts snapped together to form these weapons. That feeling reminded him of the martial arts champion in Resident Evil 8. In short, it was very powerful.
