Volume 5: The Destruction of the Gods Chapter 50 Newton, Franklin, Einstein: Are You Polite?
Sun Can is never alone.
Because wherever he goes, there are groups of people...
Sun Can led 20 skeletons, 10 ghosts, and 5 vampires to walk in the remote mountains of Province A.
A moment later, Sun Can stood in front of the gate of a small settlement in the mountains. A huge bronze sword was hung at the gate, which looked very powerful.
Sun Can and his summoned creature walked in and came to the leader's room. He stepped heavily on the Eight Immortals Table, slapped the red sword in his hand, pointed at a trembling middle-aged man in front of him and said, "I heard... you are good at using the sword?"
The middle-aged man was obviously an extraordinary person, but… he felt the pressure from the “people” in front of him and was about to piss himself. “Big… Big brother, I don’t deserve it. I’m just playing around and have made a little achievement, but my swordsmanship …”
Ghost! It's obvious that I can't defeat this. No matter how good my swordsmanship is, I can't fight so many monsters alone!
Huh? That ghost... seems to be a real ghost!
Holy shit! That’s scary!
Sun Can glanced at him impatiently: "Don't hesitate, fight me now, use all your strength, or be careful... I will kill you! These are 6 third-level extraordinary people who want to challenge you, don't hide your trump card, understand?"
A third level transcendent!!!
The middle-aged man's face turned green with fear. "Brother! Don't be impulsive. Let's talk it over. I don't think I know you. We have no grudges in the past or today. What are you doing? Why can't we sit down and have a cup of tea and talk about it?"
"Look at the sword!"
Sun Can didn't listen to his nonsense and drew his sword directly. A stream of glazed flame gushed out from the sword, and the power of the third-level extraordinary person was fully released!
Five vampires simultaneously transformed into bats and flew towards the middle-aged man, as if they were about to tear him to pieces in the next instant!
Feeling the momentum of death, the middle-aged man waved his hand lightly, and the sword by the window flew over automatically. At the critical moment... he barely managed to parry it, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, "clang!"
His sword broke, and when the flames stopped above his head, he was unable to take any of the blows...
At this time, the middle-aged man's legs softened and he knelt on the ground. Sun Can said coldly: "You know what I'm looking for. Tell me your secret after the zombie virus broke out, and I'll spare your life!"
The middle-aged man was shocked. "My...secret? I don't have any secrets. After the apocalypse, I relied on my ancestral swordsmanship to barely avoid being eaten by zombies. Later, I became a supernatural being by chance, so I brought my fellow villagers to seek refuge here. Apart from killing zombies, I have never done anything bad. If you don't believe me, you can go ask the villagers who have taken refuge here! I am wronged, brother!"
Sun Can stared into his eyes for a while, put down his sword, turned and left.
After going down the mountain, he said to himself: "Nothingness, he didn't choose the 'sword'... How can we find that person? Along the way, I have looked for anyone who has anything to do with swords, but I haven't found any trace. If this continues... When can we find him?"
A male voice came into his ears: "Don't look for her anymore, just do your task. If you were by the side of 'Sword', the system would definitely let you meet... There is some kind of attraction between you, just like you and Shen Jin!"
"A system task?"
Sun Can nodded helplessly , thinking that the chance was too slim. "Maybe we will meet in the dark. I will hide it well then. Believe me, no one knows acting better than me! Shen Jin still can't tell that I have a system!"
"very good!"
The conversation between the two ended, and Sun Can will go to complete the next system task, which is to kill a third-order hybrid zombie in the city, who is a tough guy.
"It's a good opportunity to hone my abilities. I haven't had a decent challenge in a long time. Ahem... I'll put on the equipment with the [End] attribute given by Shen Jin first. Hey~! I'll be very stable!"
…
Hulu City has been completely cleared out by the Corpse Killing Team. The pseudo-superhumans looked at the more than 2,000 people floating in the air with envy on their faces.
Among them, there are three people with perfect figures, nimble bodies, and wearing fine steel craftsman soul armor. They stand in the middle of the pseudo-transcendents... standing out from the crowd!
It was Lu Renyi, Lao Qi and Jiu Mei who, on the first day when Shen Jin opened the exchange for [Primary Superpower Awakening Potion], took out all their savings to exchange for 3 bottles and all became first-level transcendents!
Among them, Lu Renyi awakened the "Wind Shield Technique", a great ability that combines offense and defense. The other two have strength-type abilities. They embarked on the extraordinary path they had always dreamed of!
But usually, he was still like other pseudo-supernormal people. In the morning, he went to Hulu City from the underground passage to clean up the zombies. At night, he carried large and small bags of supplies back to exchange them for home currency, bought some meat, rice, and vegetables, went back to have a good meal, and then used the crystal core to continue practicing...
However, among the pseudo-superhumans today, their status has become transcendent, just like the sudden appearance of two golden gods in the bronze league, and they are respected!
Their abilities also stimulated more pseudo-superhumans to work hard to make money, and to buy potions through their own efforts to become genuine superhumans, so... the selling price of 2,000 per bottle allowed Home No. 1 to recycle a large amount of materials and home coins in their hands. These pseudo-superhumans had just become a little richer, but all of them were taken away and pushed back into poverty!
They had to work hard to get supplies. After doing this, Home No. 1 became richer, and Shen Jin's warehouse became even richer, even more than the total of the "Heaven and Earth" supplies he collected at the beginning!
"Sure enough, the power of the masses is unlimited!"
Today, Shen Jin's extraordinary team has expanded to 2,200 people, led by 9 teams including Yang Ao, Liu Yang, Meng San, Li Zhe, Tong Zhen, Wu Yong, Qi Tong, Liu Jin and Sun Li.
Each team also set up its own group, with the previous deputy captain and elite backbone serving as group leaders, and old team members leading new members. 1,200 second-level extraordinary people led 1,000 first-level extraordinary newcomers. Although they were called newcomers, Shen Jin also used Tianluodiwang's "Superpower Amplification Potion" and the system's [Energy Serum] on them all, raising them all to the peak level of the first level. They have no problem going to the battlefield, and even if they encounter a first-level evolved zombie, they can deal with it. If there are enough people, they can even kill the first-level evolved zombie.
Shen Jin planned to train them first and then help them to become second-level extraordinary people. First, the combat skills of extraordinary people need more practice, and second, their origins. These people were recruited from pseudo extraordinary people. Although they passed the screening and lie detection test, they were not extraordinary people trained by the No. 1 Academy. They might have some hidden dangers in their thinking. What if their mentality changed after joining, and they thought about going out on their own, or they became arrogant after they had some combat power...
Shen Jin will never be lenient towards these people.
Shen Jin agreed with Zhao Chao's words: "There is no such thing as a born elite soldier. Elite soldiers are made through training!"
Shen Jin will give these people a month to integrate into the group and train them. After a month, he will conduct another polygraph test to determine their future path. If they fail... they will be advised to withdraw from the Corpse Killing Team. If they have done something unforgivable, there will naturally be corresponding regulations in the team to punish them.
After the extraordinary people in the air disbanded, Shen Jin and Shang Qian floated in the air. Looking at the devastated Hulu City below, Shen Jin sighed: "The place is too big, we can't use it all, and we can't defend it!"
Shang Qian adjusted her black-framed glasses, eyes shining: "This is our base. If... I mean if Homeland No. 1 is breached, at least we can take the people in the base to Hulu City for refuge. Oh no, to Hulu District for refuge. This is our own strategic depth, and it is also our supply station to the Northeast. As long as we fight forward step by step, the territory of Homeland No. 1 will expand to Korea and South Korea!"
Shen Jin nodded. He also understood this. "Hulu City has a total area of 100,000 square kilometers. We have basically cleared out all the zombies. We certainly cannot take all of such a large area, so... the urban area! We only want the most prosperous area in the city. We can move in with just a bag. We can also gradually revive the surrounding industries and let the survivors settle down. The standard of the wall should be the same as that of Home No. 1. Only the enclosed area is our real safe zone!"
"Well... I'll plan the area of the enclosure." Shang Qian suddenly asked again: "What should we do with the former government officials in Hulu City that we rescued?"
Shen Jin looked calm, "Send them to the Tianluodiwang Branch of H Province, and let Zhang Qiang and the others decide how to deal with them. It's enough that we rescued them. Also, for Hulu City... let Lao Wang be the first district chief!"
Shang Qian showed an amused smile: "Oh? Why did you think of letting Lao Wang be the first district chief? I remember you mentioned before that you would appoint a captain?"
"Well, I was originally planning to find a captain to do it... but then I thought about it again. They are all combat members. They have no talent or experience in city construction and management. We have to kill more zombies in the future. Putting them in the city is actually a waste of resources. Their abilities can only be fully utilized on the battlefield! As for Lao Wang... he is a bit sloppy, but he is great in management. He is a real doer. The key is that he is loyal enough and knows how to advance and retreat!"
Professionals do professional things.
Because the government did not organize an effective defense for Hulu City, and the city's population was relatively small before the end of the world, the number of survivors is obviously less than that of Q City. Now Q City has 100,000 people, while Hulu City has only more than 60,000.
However, there are a lot of wild extraordinary people, and they use their own power to protect themselves and their friends. Shang Qian said: "There are nearly 1,000 of these local extraordinary people. What are you going to do?"
"No big deal. We will treat them the same as ordinary people and implement the system of Home No. 1. We will find a time to explain it to everyone. After that... anyone who does not comply will be punished directly without warning! We can tolerate extraordinary people who abide by the system, but we cannot tolerate those who do not follow the rules!"
There are a small number of second-order extraordinary people among them, who are very powerful and have good and bad character, but as long as what they do is not too excessive, Shen Jin will not hold these people accountable for their past and they just need to honestly abide by the rules of Home No. 1 in the future.
Shen Jin thought for a moment and continued, "By the way, after the people here have their identities registered, each person will be given 1 kilogram of food for free every day until a complete employment system is established so that ordinary people can support themselves through work. Then we will stop distributing relief. By the way, during this period, you recruit workers to work and pay them. Um... there are many other trivial matters. I don't want to think about them for the time being. You and Lao Wang can arrange them!"
"No problem, this is what I should do. Your energy should be focused on the distant..."
The two looked towards the northeast. They still had a lot of things to do.
…
As Shang Qian issued one order after another, Hulu City, which had just been captured, suddenly became busy. One could see with the naked eye the sturdy city walls that had grown wildly, the elite Transcendent Guards patrolling the streets, the electric wires that had been re-erected one by one, and the shops that were being built in the city center...
The world is changing too fast, and the survivors in Hulu City are having trouble reacting...
The International Trade Building in Hulu District was once a landmark building in Hulu City and the most lively place in the city center. However, after the apocalypse, it became a den of zombies, with a third-order reproductive zombie hovering around, breeding nests of little zombies. No local extraordinary people dared to approach the International Trade Building, as it seemed like a forbidden zone of death.
But... a few days ago, a group of extraordinary people wearing silver-white armor fell from the sky and killed here. According to the eyewitnesses at the time:
That day, the silver-white extraordinary army used countless strangely shaped guns to violently bombard the building, killing countless small zombies and forcing the reproductive zombies out. Then all members summoned a huge golden sword that reached the sky, and after several fights, they completely killed the third-order reproductive zombies. In the process, the entire China World Trade Center was also beaten to pieces and became a dangerous building that could collapse at any time.
Therefore, after being completely liberated, the survivors of Hulu City still did not get too close to here to avoid being injured by the dangerous buildings...
Today, a group of neatly-dressed workers came here, wearing unsightly cowhide gloves. They worked on the World Trade Center, mending and removing pieces, and they managed to save the dangerous building in just one morning!
The entire building was restored to its pre-apocalyptic appearance. Then these people ran into the crowd and shouted, "We're hiring cleaners who can work quickly! Eat first and then work. We'll serve you hot rice and stir-fried vegetables. You'll be full! We'll also pay you when you're done. 5 yuan a day!"
The survivors of Hulu City were dressed in rags and covered in mud. It was obvious that they had rarely taken a bath. Some people whispered, "I know what a cleaner is. They just clean the building. It's good to have a meal. In this world, it's good to have a hot bowl of rice. As for cooking, it's probably some wild vegetables dug from outside and cooked casually. I wonder if they can add some salt? But... what do they mean by 5 yuan a day? What the hell is money? Could it be... I have traveled through time?"
"You big head ghost! I think this is the legendary empty check, the money is useless! Give it to a dog, the dog won't want it!"
"Are you going then?"
"Go! I have to go! I will work for whoever gives me food!"
"Let's go together! All we want is a good meal!"
"I don't want to eat wild vegetables anymore. I was able to survive these days because I ate wild vegetables for half a month. Now I throw up when I see them! I can eat three bowls of rice with a glass of cold water!"
A bunch of ordinary people, like refugees, were attracted by the conditions offered by the construction teams. They were so hungry...
The construction team quickly recruited enough people, and took out buckets of pre-steamed rice and large pots filled with stir-fried vegetables, such as smashed cucumbers, three-fresh vegetarian dishes, stir-fried beans, and stir-fried tomatoes...
Although they are all vegetarian dishes, they are shiny and greasy, giving off a fresh aroma of stir-fried vegetables, and you can tell by the smell that they are full of salt!
“Gudong~! Gudong~!”
The more than 100 recruited survivors began to swallow uncontrollably. They felt their saliva starting to secrete crazily and their noses twitching, trying to inhale all the fragrance into their bodies.
Everyone went crazy!
There was a loud shout, and everyone rushed towards the food, their eyes revealing a primitive desire for food, "clang clang clang——"
The construction teams showed their steel weapons one after another, and the team leader shouted, "Don't move a muscle. Anyone who dares to move will be killed! Everyone, line up! You can only eat after I say so!"
Seeing dozens of weapons suddenly extended in front of them, all the excited people broke out in cold sweats instantly. The brother in the front was about to touch the big bucket of rice with his hand. Saliva kept secreting from his mouth. His body instinctively told him to stuff the rice into his mouth and eat a big meal, otherwise he would starve to death in the next moment!
"Gudong~!"
He looked at the swords of these people, swallowed his saliva, gently grabbed a handful of rice with tips sticking out of it, and said awkwardly, "Boss, I'll just eat one bite, otherwise I'll starve to death. Just one bite, I'm the first one in line, so I should go first..."
He shoved the rice into his mouth while he argued, thinking smugly, "I took a bite when they weren't paying attention. What can they do to me? Will they beat me up?"
“Puff!”
A cold light flashed, and the man's right hand fell to the ground with a handful of rice.
The team leader put away his scimitar and stared at everyone with a cold face: "Is there anyone else who doesn't understand what I'm saying?"
There was silence at the scene, and everyone's eyes widened!
“Ouch! Damn it! Ouch! My hand! It hurts so much! My hand!!!”
The man was twisting on the ground, large pieces of blood flowing down his wrists. The team leader threw out a box of bandages and pointed at someone at random: "Go bandage him!"
Then he looked at the frightened crowd and said coldly, "Line up and get your own meal one by one!"
Everyone lined up silently, no one dared to run, squeeze or grab, and the order was good.
Everyone knew in their hearts... this group of people were not the saints who saved them, but a group of iron-blooded soldiers!
When they all finished eating and were ready to start working, then... everyone stared at each other, "Boss, do you have any cleaning tools?"
Team leader: “Yes!”
The construction team members rummaged through their backpacks, pulled out a large number of cleaning tools, and threw them on the ground.
"What about...the water for cleaning?"
Several members of the construction team used [pebbles] to surround a small water tower-like building, then took out 10 [universal fluid units (water)] and poured them in. Ten cubic meters of water instantly appeared in the water tower.
One of them held a high-pressure water gun and said, "Boss, there's no electricity, so this thing can't be used?"
“Pah~!”
The team leader placed a square box on the ground, pulled out a wire from it, and connected it to a socket strip. "Okay, now we have electricity!"
These ordinary people in Hulu City looked at each other, and saw the confusion on each other's faces, "Is this a beaver?"
“Newton, Franklin, Einstein: Are you polite?”
"I suspect... I am dreaming. This is so unscientific!!!"
On this day, the three perspectives of the survivors in Hulu District... collapsed!
