Chapter 79: Dust Base
The dark grey cement wall was four to five meters high and two meters wide. The surface of the wall was covered with dark brown dried blood, emitting a rancid smell. On the top of the wall were rows of sharp iron rods that pierced the sky. Each of these iron rods was more than three meters long, raising the height of the wall to seven or eight meters.
At the same time, behind these rows of sharp iron rods, there are some black gun muzzles pointing straight into the dark wasteland, ready to spray angry flames at the invaders at any time.
On the wall above the steel gate, there is a heavy machine gun that looks powerful and is loaded with yellow bullets, giving people a sense of security at a glance.
On the lower part of the wall, there was a slender and sharp iron spike extending every one meter, making the entire base look like a giant hedgehog. At the same time, pieces of rotten meat were hanging from these iron spikes from time to time, emitting the smell that only zombies have.
This base only has one gate, and outside the gate are several zombies with their heads blown off. I don't know what they are used for. However, these zombies are full of bugs and look extremely disgusting.
Seeing the truck that Li Feng was in approach, dozens of people immediately appeared on the wall that seemed to be empty, holding guns and crossbows in their hands, aiming at the truck below. These people were all wearing black clothes and looked alert.
"Open the door, we are from the Bloody Hand Group!" A man in the cab leaned out half of his body, waved and shouted at the people on the city wall, and at the same time pulled out a tattered chess piece with a bloody handprint drawn on it.
Hearing this and seeing the tattered flag, a man who looked like a leader on the city wall immediately laughed and said, "Fuck, Gao Xiong got rich again this time. What good stuff did you get? Check it first. Don't forget that our escort team will take 20% of the goods."
"Open the door and check the car!" The guard leader waved his hand, and immediately several people turned the winch on it. The steel gate slowly rose, revealing a space big enough for a truck to pass through.
The green vest said to Li Feng reluctantly, "Sir, the rules of our Sand Dust Base are that when you go out to collect goods, 20% of the harvest must be handed over to the base guards, that is, the city lord's men."
"City Lord ?" Hearing these two words, Li Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows with interest. Such a "base" built on the basis of a small town actually has the nerve to call itself a city?
"Yes, sir, it's different now. Don't be afraid of you laughing at me. Our Sand Base is one of the largest cities around here. It's usually called Sand City..." The man in the green vest blushed. "The lord of this Sand Base used to be someone else. Now it's Chai Yunzhou. This Chai was a murderer. He escaped from prison after the biochemical crisis broke out. He gathered a group of people to kill the original boss and occupied this place."
"Tell me about this man in brief." Li Feng waved his hand and said. At this time, the truck had slowly entered the gate of the city.
"This man is cruel and ruthless. He has more than 120 men under him. I don't know where he got a batch of guns. They are very powerful. Anyone who wants to enter this dust base to seek asylum must pay tribute to him. But he doesn't care much about other things, so it is relatively free inside the dust base..." When the green vest heard Li Feng asking him about the situation, he was immediately overjoyed. He knew that his life was saved.
"How many people are there in the Sand Dust Base?" Li Feng asked.
"About one or two thousand people. Because Chai Yunzhou came up with the idea of painting the city walls with zombies' flesh and blood, the smell in the city was concealed, and there are very few zombies attacking the city. Last time, more than fifty mutant beasts came, and they were all killed. I was also involved at that time. Wow, those guys were really powerful. There were more than fifty of them. Fortunately, they were all killed in the end..." When he said this, the green vest couldn't help but puffed out his chest, as if he was very proud. Obviously, being able to repel more than fifty mutant beasts was already very powerful for him.
Li Feng smiled slightly. He was not afraid of the millions of zombies and tens of thousands of mutant insects in Steel City. The fifty mutant beasts were just a joke in his eyes. However, this also reflected from one side that the mutant beasts did not seem to have any big moves recently, or the main force of the mutant beasts were attacking large human fortresses.
Although the advantages of having communications cut off outweigh the disadvantages for me, it is indeed inconvenient.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a knock on the rear door from outside, followed by a "creak" and the rear door of the car was opened. Four or five black-clad guards with guns were outside, looking inside.
Seeing the body of Cockscomb Head broken into two pieces in the carriage, these people couldn't help but frowned in surprise. Then, when they saw the hands of the Green Vest and others, as well as the leisurely Lifeng, they were even more surprised.
"Lao Gao, what's wrong with you?" A small leader of the guard team in front frowned and asked the green vest. The green vest was Gao Xiong in the mouths of these people.
The leader of the escort team immediately noticed something was wrong. Gao Xiong and the others had bloody hands, and his best subordinate, the thin man, was dead on the spot. A handsome young man with a bloody face sat in the main seat, smiling at Gao Xiong. The leader immediately winked at Gao Xiong, asking him if he needed help.
Seeing the man's expression, Gao Xiong's heart almost jumped out of his chest. At this moment, he just hoped to keep the peace and save his life. He didn't believe that the guards present could subdue the boy in front of him! If you are not afraid of bullets, how can you fight him?
Seeing Li Feng's smiling face, Gao Xiong immediately broke out in a sweat and yelled, "Old Sun, why the hell do you care so much? When is it your turn to take care of my business? Quickly estimate the goods, take your share and leave."
Old Sun immediately showed a strange look, looked at the goods in the car, and was about to speak when Li Feng suddenly said, "Big brother, I will be the new leader of the Blood Hand Group from now on. Please take care of me."
Gao Xiong immediately put on a flattering smile and nodded repeatedly to Lao Sun, indicating that what Lifeng said was the truth.
The guard team leader, Lao Sun, immediately understood what had happened. It was obvious that Gao Xiong and his men had been defeated and subdued. However, this kind of thing happened from time to time. Their guard team only wanted to take a cut and didn't care about anything else.
He nodded immediately and said, "Four vegetable men, a batch of metal, a batch of tools, and only one vegetable man will be left."
Although several captives had been released by Li Feng, they were huddled in a corner out of fear at this time, so Old Sun could tell at a glance that they were originally captives.
Li Feng sighed slightly and shook his head. He was not very satisfied with the performance of these people. He grabbed one of Gao Xiong's former subordinates and said, "Just leave him here." Then he threw him out of the car in front of the man's horrified eyes.
"Drive." Li Feng waved his hand, and the driver in the cab immediately started the car, left the city gate and walked inside.
"Boss, no, boss, boss, save me! Gao Xiong you bastard! You will die a horrible death--" The man who was thrown down had a look of horror on his face, and was then caught and taken away by the guards. He didn't dare to scold Li Feng, but only cursed Gao Xiong.
Gao Xiong spat viciously and said, "Damn it, this kid actually dared to scold me, I really don't know..."
"Go to the market." Li Feng interrupted Gao Xiong.
"Yes, sir." Gao Xiong immediately put on a charming smile and told the driver to drive the truck to the market.
This sandstorm base could not be considered a small town. It should be said to be a small village with only more than 200 households. But now, with more than 1,000 refugees living in it, it seems much more crowded.
On both sides of the road, there were temporary huts and tents made of various materials. Plastic, wood, metal plates, etc. The people living inside were all in rags and pale. But in their hands, they all held weapons such as knives, guns, or sticks, and looked ready to fight at any time. Everyone's eyes were filled with deep vigilance and hostility!
When he came here, Richemont felt like he had come to a primitive tribe!
He also found that those who had guns, no matter what kind of guns, were obviously higher in status and bolder, and those who were physically strong obviously lived better.
On the roadside, you can see a few naked women trying to seduce men with powerful weapons. At the same time, there are some fierce women fighting with men because the men want to rape them.
A man holding a piece of bread was having sex with two women on the street! The man held a gun in one hand and a bread in the other, tearing off a small piece from time to time and throwing it on the ground, which immediately caused a frantic fight between the two women, who then used their naked bodies to please the man desperately.
When passing by a small courtyard, Li Feng clearly saw seven or eight people sitting around a steaming pot, picking up meat from it with excitement. In the middle of the pot was a cooked human head! The chopsticks kept rising and falling, tearing the flesh off the head and stuffing it into their mouths.
"Ah——" A scream came from the corner of the street. A man's chest was pierced by a sharp steel bar. Behind him, a man with a happy face was holding the other end of the steel bar. On his left and right, two people were holding his arms tightly. Seeing that the raid was successful, the three people immediately dragged the dead body and wanted to leave happily. At this time, there were a few gunshots, and the three people fell to the ground with blood blooming on their bodies. A team of guards in black appeared and dragged all four bodies away.
Has it come to this... Li Feng frowned, looking at everything that was happening before his eyes, and he could hardly believe his eyes. Was it because the Sand Dust Base itself was too chaotic, or was it that all human settlements were playing out the same scene before their eyes? The so-called guards would only intervene when someone killed someone, and they seemed to be expecting someone to die...
At this moment, the truck squeaked and stopped at the intersection of a street. Compared with the outside, this street was crowded with people, with about four or five hundred people doing business inside.
On the iron racks on the roadside, human legs, arms, ribs, and heads were hung with iron hooks. On a stone platform, there were many tied-up naked men and women standing, being bought and sold at clearly marked prices.
The market, here we are.
