Zombie Apocalypse - Chapter 606
Chapter 0606 So It Was a Neighbor
Qin An was also very uncomfortable at this moment. He was still tied up by a rope.
However, Qin An was in a good mood because he had already left Anguang City with Wu Fengjiao and the others.
Qin An had seen a lot about Doomsday City.
Fate City with an inner circle outside and a wall height of 20 meters; Mountain-topped, overlapping mountains of Shanlan City; Ring city walls, heavily guarded like smoke city; Around the divine tree, the tenacious Shenshu City. There were also more than ten other unknown small cities that Qin An had seen before.
However, the Anguang City in front of him was clearly different from the other apocalyptic cities.
First of all, it was very large. The outer circle was irregular and circular. The height of the city wall was 80 meters, and the length was about 10 kilometers. It was said that there were 300,000 people living inside!
There was an obvious dividing line between the east and west of Anguang City. All the buildings on the east side were white, while all the buildings on the west side were black. Perhaps the distinctive black-and-white architectural style was the origin of Anguang City’s name.
The buildings in the city were built by crossing and stacking together, and the difference between the city walls in the outermost circle and the high-rise buildings in the center was about 200 meters. This makes Anguang City look like a giant pyramid.
Qin An was very curious as to why there was such a structure, so he asked Xiao San about it.
The three of them were not bad. Although they treated Qin An coldly, they also explained the reason to him.
In the early days of Anguang City, it was actually made up of dozens of small towns that were very close to each other and had walls of only five meters high. They were built by Russians.
Afterwards, the city lords of the small city formed an alliance and began to build huge city walls outside of a dozen small cities. In order to pursue visual effects, they decorated the city walls with black and white paint. Then, they named the new city within the city walls Anguang City and elected a new city lord.
Large numbers of refugees came from Europe and China, and the Russian government ordered the cities to take them in. However, at that time, the city walls of Anguang City had already been built, so it was impossible to tear them down and rebuild them. Moreover, the original space in the city was simply unable to allow the refugees to live in it.
Therefore, the city administrators began to build platforms on top of more than a dozen small towns. Afterwards, they built a two-storey residential area that was about 30 meters tall. As the number of refugees continued to increase, managers built the third and fourth floors above the two-storey residential area. In this way, there were a total of seven floors within the city wall. The height was 200 meters, forming a huge building complex that looked like a pyramid.
These buildings are actually very clever, because the lowest dwellings also have people to live in, so they also need the illumination of light.
Therefore, the gap between each floor is actually a passageway, sunlight can be sprinkled into all floors from the outside. It’s just that the ground floor and the inner floor are darker, because the lack of light also makes living conditions worse.
Managers in Anguang City felt the need to divide people into three or six or nine levels. Living in the upper echelons obviously gave them a better view, and it was impossible for them to be occupied by later comers.
As a result, the upper three floors were occupied by the Anguang City administrators, the standing army under the control of the City Lord, various businessmen, large mercenary groups, and so on.
The lower four floors were occupied by small mercenary groups, farmers, city guards, productive workers, the poor, and prisoners. As for the slaves, they were on every floor, taking care of the so-called living of the nobles, living in the dark zone inside the building.
Anguang City was divided into two regions, light and darkness. The city lord was in charge of the entire city, and the east and west were divided. The so-called life style in the Light Zone was closer to that before the apocalypse, and the law was harsher. As for the dark areas, they weren’t so strict in management, so there were all kinds of darkness gathered here.
The car drove to the gate of Dark Light City and quickly stopped. Qin An, Wu Fengjiao and the others got off the car and were taken to their rooms to strip naked and check if there were any wounds on their bodies. This was to prevent people from not reporting after being bitten by zombies and causing unnecessary trouble when they entered the city to turn into corpses. Of course, they would also check to see if there were any unregistered mutants entering the city.
The Hundred Cities area was relatively stable now. Although there were zombies nearby, those who dared to walk outside the city walls generally had rich experience in killing zombies. Even if they were bitten, they would still be corpsed outside and would not return to the city.
Therefore, this kind of inspection was just a routine. Neither side would take it too seriously.
After checking, the few of them returned to their cars. The cars started to drive into the city and entered the car passageway on the first floor. After that, they slowly climbed along the circular trajectory and headed towards the bright area of the fourth floor.
This was also the ingenuity of the huge building complex. The builders designed the roads to the gray and dark parts of the complex, and built the houses in the outer circle as much as possible. This way, they could use the space rationally, but also make the houses as close as possible to the outside, so as to ensure the light to enter. The road inside is darker, but there are dimmer street lights on both sides of the road, both powered by solar energy. Moreover, the roads were all one-way. As long as one looked ahead, there would be no danger.
On both sides of the road, there were also some metal cages that contained the prisoners’ places of detention.
The prisoners had a miserable fate. They lived in the darkness for a long time, and a meal was delivered to them once or twice a day. The so-called prisoners did not necessarily commit any crimes. Most of them were locked up because they had offended the people in power. After being imprisoned and tortured for a period of time, they had only two outcomes, either dying or becoming slaves without any dignity.
Overall, although Dark Light City had the largest number of Chinese, the real power holder was the city lord, Roste Andreevich. Therefore, most of these people were imprisoned by the poor in China. Of course, there were a few Europeans, but none of them were Russians. As the ruler, Roste would not put people from his own country in cages.
Xiao San told Qin An these things. Wu Fengjiao did not stop her. She was curious about Qin An’s true identity. She was obviously tied up by herself, but she did not have the slightest awareness of being a criminal.
Forget it. In any case, Qin An is not important to Wu Fengjiao. What she wants to do now is to see Zhou Jiawei quickly and ask him why he left the Zhan Lang Mercenary Group.
The car finally left the circular passageway at the center of the complex and arrived at the building level of the fourth city. It was parked in a garage.
Qin An narrowed his eyes and activated his super vision to look at the fourth floor.
Hundreds of tall buildings were built in the outer circle. The west side was a black building, and the east side was a white building. There was a sealed iron net between them. There was only one door on either side that could pass through, and there were soldiers guarding it.
There are two-meter-thick concrete partitions on the upper and lower sides of the tall buildings. They are not completely sealed. Some places will have hollow inclined squares so that sunlight can enter from the outside and then pass into the lower parts. At the heart of all buildings, roads, warehouses, garages, prisons and other facilities are built. On the outermost circle of the building floor, there were some relatively large courtyards that could receive direct sunlight.
There was only one feeling in the entire building, and it was filled with fantasy, as if such a city should not belong to this world. Perhaps it is more appropriate to appear in the film and television works.
Qin An sighed. After a while, he felt that his thoughts were out of date. Didn’t the world change now? Then these miraculous buildings were actually ordinary. They were fortresses that humans had built for him in order to survive in the apocalypse.
Walking along the spacious road between the floors, Qin An could see some pedestrians. These people were generally in good spirits, and it could be seen that Anguang City’s life might really be very comfortable.
After walking roughly a kilometer, they arrived at the edge of the fourth floor. There was a relatively large courtyard there, where the War Wolf Mercenary Group was located. Qin An looked around and found that this place was not bad. There was a field about three hundred meters wide in front of the courtyard gate that surrounded the fourth floor, and there were many crops planted inside. And above his head, there was no concrete partition. Qin An raised his head to see the fields on the fifth floor, which was thirty meters high. He lowered his head to see the edges of the lower floors and the surrounding buildings.
The building area of each floor was getting smaller and smaller. After all, the buildings were so tall that the pressure on the buildings below was enormous. Therefore, it was necessary to use this method of decreasing the force on each floor to prevent the buildings from collapsing.
A few meters to the west of the courtyard was the barbed wire fence separating the black and white regions. Qin An looked around and found that the architectural pattern there was basically the same as this one.
For example, there was a fairly large courtyard near the barbed wire fence. The courtyard wall was only about two meters tall, and there were eight three-storey buildings in the courtyard.
Qin An was watching with interest when the door of the courtyard suddenly opened. A graceful and beautiful woman walked out with a bucket of dirty water and poured it into the vegetable field in front of the door.
Qin An was stunned, his mouth slightly opened and he stopped walking.
The woman tilted her head slightly and saw Qin An. After a few seconds, she suddenly threw the bucket to the side and ran to the barbed wire fence, shocked, “Qin An! What’s wrong with you? Why are you tied up?”
Qin An was in a good mood. Naturally, he knew this woman. She was his mother-in-law, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life, Liu Ru.
After Liu Ru shouted, she grabbed the barbed wire with both hands and jumped up to the top of the barbed wire at a height of 30 meters with all her strength. Then, she turned around and jumped over. There was no cement partition at the top of the barbed wire fence between the black and white areas, but it was naturally not easy for ordinary people to cross it.
Seeing Liu Ru rushing towards him, Qin An smiled.
Just as Wu Fengjiao was about to bring people into the courtyard belonging to the War Wolf Mercenary Group, she was shocked to see a peerless beauty jumping over the barbed wire fence and running over to the Light Zone in the Dark Zone. This woman had a spring on her leg? How could he jump so high?
At the same time, Wu Fengjiao’s expression darkened. She quickly stepped forward to block Qin An’s side and said, “Little beauty!” Who are you? Don’t you know that people from the dark and light sides are not allowed to casually enter each other’s area? If you want to come over, you need to register at the central entrance! Jumping over like this makes me feel very embarrassed! The people who live near the two sides of the barbed wire fence have the responsibility to supervise each other! I don’t want to get into any trouble for your foul play! “Quickly go back!”
Liu Ru had already arrived beside Wu Fengjiao and Qin An. Her expression was also very bad. She did not know why Qin An was tied up, but she was also angry because of Wu Fengjiao’s address to her.
Beautiful girl? She was already a pretty girl’s mother! Perhaps there was still a beautiful girl in her belly! Who was this hot girl on the other side? He actually didn’t know how to be polite! And why did Qin An let someone tie him up? With Qin An’s ability, it shouldn’t be that bad, right? Could it be that he was greedy for other people’s beauty and was deliberately captured? Thinking of this reason, Liu Ru’s expression became even worse. Her gaze avoided Wu Fengjiao and glared at Qin An fiercely. Her scalp felt numb when she saw Qin An. She did not know how she offended this prospective mother-in-law!
