Chapter 571: Chapter 568: Paradise 4_1

"Look, here is our farming area, which provides us with food. We can be self-sufficient here, and there will be no problem with starvation."

On top of the mountain, Xu Chengsheng brought Tang Ye and a few others to explain the situation of the colony. Perhaps because Qiongli was a new human, and the aroma of flesh and blood from Tang Ye’s cells, which was not deliberately activated, was weaker than that of an average human, so Xu Chengsheng kept talking to Qiongli.

After understanding, Chang Zhiyun, the leader of this colony, is a Level 2 New Human, but the highest-rated new human in the whole colony is Level 4, with one, three Level 3 New Humans, dozens of Level 2 New Humans, and approximately hundreds of Level 1 New Humans, without accurate count.

The hierarchy here is not about the strong over the weak, the roles have been distributed as they were before the Apocalypse.

Tang Ye looked in the direction indicated by Xu Chengsheng’s finger. Beyond the valley were terraced fields. Survivors and soldiers in uniforms were harvesting ripe grains and fruits and vegetables in the cold wind. On the distant path, military vehicles and pickup trucks passed by, each bound with carcasses of evolved beasts.

Every view he saw was like a painting, unseen in the post-apocalyptic world. Now he could see the sunshine, the flowers and plants, the buildings, everything here. It was different from the grey, oppressive Qinshan Base. It was beautiful, like a paradise isolated from the world, untouched by the outside grey.

Listening to the conversation between Xu Chengsheng and Qiongli, Tang Ye drifted into a daze.

"Hey!"

"Hey! Li Henian?"

"Stop daydreaming!"

Tang Ye came back to his senses, he had always thought that Qiongli and others were at his side, not expecting that they were now a hundred meters away from him. He might have been hallucinating earlier, a hallucination he had not experienced for a long time.

Qiongli didn’t find it strange because Li Henian often drifted into a daze, falling into a state where his soul seemed to have been taken away. She was used to it.

"What’s wrong, young man?" Xu Chengsheng asked with concern.

"Nothing, the scenery here is beautiful." Tang Ye said sincerely.

"Hahaha."

He laughed heartily, clapped Tang Ye on the shoulder and continued to guide Qiongli and the others around the colony.

"You just mentioned my military uniform, right?"

"Yes." said Qiongli.

"This uniform of mine was badly torn a long time ago, so I didn’t wear it. Many people did the same."

Xu Chengsheng continued to chat with Qiongli about everything in the colony. According to his words, ever since the 46th Division and the survivors arrived and settled in this valley, zombies could only be seen in places where people lived before the Apocalypse.

Because of its special location, zombies could not find the place, let alone encounter a horde of zombies. However, half a month ago, small hordes of zombies continuously appeared around the colony. Even once, a horde of tens of thousands of zombies attacked all at once, including a Level 4 zombie!

Fortunately, the 46th Division was a full-force team with plenty of tanks and cannons, which managed to hold back the zombie and the horde, although many humans died.

It was because of this that Zhang Zhiyun realized that to fight high-level zombies with reduced costs, new humans of a similar level were needed.

While Level 3 and Level 4 zombies can still be killed with thermo-weapons, their weapons are all pre-apocalyptic technology, which can hardly make use of anti-life matter to advance science and technology. It would take a lot of effort to kill zombies above Level 3.

Moreover, ammunition decreases everytime they use it, and they don’t have production lines to replenish. They can only make simple handmade guns and bullets, but the power of these homemade guns suffices to deal with zombies below Level 1. They are not effective against Level 2 zombies.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiyun began to form a special forces team, assembling new humans into a team. These requirements were not mandatory, but once such a team was formed, these new humans would definitely be the first to go into the field when a horde of zombies attacks the colony. The risk to their lives is dozens of times higher than those who do not belong to the team!

If this were in Qinshan Base, the survivors wouldn’t even think about joining. They probably would’ve wanted to tear apart the recruiter you sent them!

However, the survivors here knew who was protecting their lives. As soon as the special forces were established, an infinite number of new humans volunteered to sign up.

Although people were very positive, the number of new humans was still in the minority. There were very few level 2 and 3 new humans. Encountering a slightly higher-level zombie could result in several deaths. Therefore, when Chengsheng Xu saw Qiongli, he wondered if he could retain her with a try-it-and-see attitude.

Level 2 New Humans were scarce, let alone Level 3 New Humans.

But since the start of the Apocalypse, Xu Chengsheng and others had not been living in this valley for long. Although they frequently took people out to rescue encountered survivors, they had not seen other survivors for a long time due to the rampant actions of the speed gangs, and they didn’t know the situation outside. They thought people outside were like them, maintaining their pre-apocalypse mindset.

Similarly, knowing there were despicable speed gangs, these soldiers and survivors detested the speed gang. When a team went out searching for living supplies, they suffered significant casualties due to the speed gang. From then on, whenever they encountered armed speed gangs, they would kill outright!

Qiongli also apologised to Xu Chengsheng, explaining why they were so alert yesterday, and about the twisted human nature in the post-apocalyptic world and everything she had encountered.

Xu Chengsheng was taken aback after hearing this and couldn’t react for a while. He found it a little hard to accept.

Qiongli gave Xu Chengsheng a look of understanding. He was silent for a moment and then remembered a widely circulated saying in the Jiduan era: the Apocalypse is not terrifying, what’s terrifying is human nature. Humans are often the ones who destroy themselves.

Who doesn’t want to be superior?

The phrase about ’those who use martial arts violating the prohibition’ is not a joke. When three outliers appear among a group of people, separate from everyone else, there are three outcomes for the group. The first is to be entirely destroyed; the second is to be dominated by the three outliers; the third is to expel these three people from the group.

Out of the three outcomes, the third causes the least loss. But new humans emerge every day in the apocalypse times. Circumstances differ, roads differ, so the third outcome rarely happens. But regardless of the first or the second outcome, the process is bound to be bloody!
