Da Da had never thought that the Grand Commander would really explain to him. In his mind, the Grand Commander had always been high and mighty. He had never been so gentle with his subordinates.
For a moment, Da Di, who was originally dizzy because of the pain, did not dare to talk nonsense at this time. He hurriedly stood up from the bed, looking helpless.
"What's wrong? I'm telling you the truth, but you don't believe me, do you? "The Grand Commander glanced at the other party and said indifferently.
"No! How could this be?! "
Da Da hurriedly waved his hand. Even if he was given a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to not believe the Grand Commander.
In fact, in many people's eyes, the Grand Commander was their true idol. It was because of his existence that Devil Town could stand tall to this day.
Otherwise, in the post-apocalyptic world, even if there was a large population here, in the end, it would have long been reduced to ruins, without a single living person.
The Grand Commander's contribution to Devil Town was obvious to all. Everyone had long passed the age of chasing after stars, but their respect for the Grand Commander was like the stars in the sky, uncountable.
Dadi lost his father when he was young, and it was his mother who raised him painstakingly. To Dadi, his mother was his everything. Dadi didn't dare imagine what would have happened to him and his mother if not for Devil Town.
His mother was very kind. Since he was young, she had advised him to be kind and know how to repay kindness. It was because of this that he was absolutely loyal to the Grand Commander.
He wasn't the only one. Most of the people in Devil Town had the same thought. Therefore, just like Chen Feng in Order, the Grand Commander had long become a legend in Devil Town and had become an object of worship.
At this time, being able to talk to the Grand Commander was undoubtedly a great deal of fear and trepidation. It was afraid that it would say something stupid and offend the Grand Commander.
At this moment, the Grand Commander waved his hand and said to the ground, "This time, I really have to thank you. Regardless of whether the monsters hiding in the back appear or not, it was because of your decision that the monsters retreated early and spilled less blood in Devil City."
"Devil Town is now in troubled times, and it's a hundred times more dangerous than any other time. It's because of this that I have to be careful, and even do things that go against my conscience. I hope you can understand me at times like this …"
At this time, hearing the Grand Commander's heartfelt words, Da Da naturally had an expression of disbelief. He stood up again and quickly shook his head.
"Great Commander, all of us believe in you."
"But … Is the situation in Devil Town really that dangerous?" After hesitating for a few seconds, Earth finally voiced the question that had been bothering him.
In his mind, the Grand Commander was an invincible existence. The Grand Commander had led Devil Town to expand from a few thousand people to a few hundred thousand people, although there were still some Fallen in some dark places.
However, Earth understood this very well. This world had already changed qualitatively, and laws had become a thing of the past. In the first few years of the apocalypse, he had seen even more terrifying and evil things.
After the Grand Commander took over, the situation had improved a lot. Most of the Fallen had been eradicated, and only a small number of them were left. Even the dark places did not dare to be too brazen.
Earth liked Devil Town, and in his understanding, it was because of the Grand Commander's presence that this place became like this.
But what happened now?
Why did the invincible Grand Commander become like this? Even when the monsters attacked the town, he stood at the side and watched quietly. Earth knew that the Grand Commander was not afraid, but worried about something. Therefore, at this time, Earth asked doubtfully.
The Grand Commander stared blankly at Earth's face, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing the Grand Commander's expression, Earth felt that he was a little rash. He hurriedly waved his hand and stuttered, "Grand Commander, that's not what I meant. I'm just a little worried about the current situation. I hope you won't blame me."
"Sigh …"
The Grand Commander let out a sigh.
"You're right. Now, Devil Town has entered the countdown to its destruction. I can feel that among those monsters, there are existences that are stronger than me. They seem to be waiting, waiting for us to collapse first, or perhaps they're laughing at us. They're watching us struggle to resist, but in the end, we still can't escape death."
"Everything I'm doing now is to wait for his arrival. I can't be distracted. I have to be in my peak condition to have a chance to protect this town at the last moment."
"I've sent people outside to seek help. Perhaps they are the last hope of Devil Town. Do you understand?"
Earth had never thought that the situation had deteriorated to this extent. He nodded blankly. This news was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.
He needed some time to digest it.
…
Those in power had their own worries. In Devil Town, there was still a group of pitiful people living on the edge. They lived at the bottom of this land.
Devil Town was not as good as Order. Be it in terms of food reserves or research, there was a huge gap. This also meant that many people were still hungry.
Like rats in peacetime, they wandered around the edge in search of food to fill their stomachs, even if it meant losing their lives.
"Big Brother, do you think I'll die?"
Looking at the timid little face in front of him, Yang Shuo endured the pain in his heart and shook his head. Then, he grinned and said, "No, Big Brother promises you that you'll be fine!"
"But …"
The little girl hesitated. Perhaps the pain on her back was starting to act up again. She couldn't help but purse her lips. But after experiencing such a disaster, she endured it and lowered her head. Her voice was as weak as the buzzing of a mosquito. "Little Blossom is dead … Third Uncle is dead … Ah Huang is dead too … I know that it's impossible to survive being scratched by those monsters …"
Yang Shuo held the little girl's head and tried his best not to touch the wound on her back. He looked at her with a face full of love. "Nuo Nuo, don't talk anymore. You'll be fine after some sleep."
"I'm sorry … I'm sorry Big Brother …" Nuo Nuo pursed her lips. "I'm sorry Big Brother. I just wanted to go out to find some food. I didn't think that I would be scratched. I'm sorry, I have to let you live alone … I'm sorry … I'm really sorry …"
The little girl was held in Yang Shuo's arms. Her lips were pale and her pupils were dilated. According to past experience, in less than six hours, her only family in this wasteland would become a zombie without consciousness and body temperature.
Perhaps Yang Shuo's comforting words had some effect. The little girl touched the beard on the young man's face and whispered, "Big Brother."
"If I can recover, I will be obedient and not go out again!"
"Nuo Nuo, it's not right. You shouldn't go out alone."
Yang Shuo stroked the little girl's hair. His scarred face revealed a rare touch of warmth.
He was a wasteland scavenger!
When needed, he could even kill zombies, mutated monsters, ugly insects, and even … humans!
An unknown virus swept across the planet and spread to the surrounding countries at an extremely fast speed. In two years, all the countries fell one after another. The city that many people fought for became a hotbed of death.
When the virus struck, 50% of the world's population turned into slow-moving zombies that liked to devour flesh and blood due to their immunity. The remaining 49% survived, and the remaining 1% of the population became paranormals that had mysterious powers in the movies and TV series.
Control fire? Freeze? Or taming insects and beasts was no longer an extravagant hope.
Even more so, some abilities were completely networked. This seemed to be a joke played by the heavens on the planet. Evolvers had the ability to control wind and sand, as well as the ability to make people fall into illusions.
In short, there were all kinds of strange things!
It was said that other than the initial wave of energy that luckily became ability users, there were also some lucky people who experienced ups and downs and successfully obtained their own ability.
Perhaps it was a desperate fight, perhaps it was a sudden epiphany, or perhaps it was an unbearable release of emotions.
Those ability users had the power that mortals could not touch. In the beginning, those ability users could still do things for the people and the country, but the virus raged. The so-called country and home had long ceased to exist. Without the protection of the law and without the authority to establish order, today, two years later, this land finally became a land without a master!
If it was not because the commander completed the unification, there might not be any living people here and it would have long become a ruin.
The appearance of the virus was too sudden, and the number of human deaths was too horrifying. At first, the power supply system could still be maintained, but because of the lack of maintenance and the lack of personnel, this piece of land that was originally considered top-notch in technology suddenly became a wilderness.
Fear bred many possibilities.
Between life and death, human nature did not seem so important.
But the result?
Even if some people became professionals, because of their own selfishness, their hearts slowly rotted and fell. They took pleasure in abusing ordinary people and became cunning people who dominated everything.
The old era was over, and the new era had begun!
The place where Yang Shuo lived was a slum, where bandits, thieves, prostitutes, and all kinds of humanoid creatures who did menial work gathered.
It was hard to imagine how Yang Shuo and a three-year-old girl survived in this land for several years.
Under the disaster, the happy family only had Yang Shuo and Yang Nuo left. Several years later, Yang Shuo turned from a high school student to a young man in his twenties, and Nuo Nuo also turned from a little girl to a six-year-old girl.
The brother and sister supported each other. They drank the sewage from the sewers, ate moldy fruits, and in order to survive, they fought with some people.
They once raised an old dog with brown fur. Perhaps because its owner turned into a zombie or was killed by the thugs, the old dog became a member of Yang Shuo and Yang Nuo's team.
In the first year, two people and a dog walked in the wasteland, looking for food, and by luck, they survived.
In the second year, paranormals and some extraordinary people formed a new dark order. Yang Shuo and his team came to this land and began to struggle to survive.
In the third year, the hardworking old dog was caught in a trap by the thugs during a search in the wild. When it was found, there was only a complete dog skin and half a corpse left.
It was a sad story.
At least, that was the story in Nuo Nuo's mind.
But what was the real situation?
Half a year ago, Nuo Nuo fell seriously ill because of the sudden changes in the food and air. In this peaceful era, a small pill worth a few yuan became a rare item in this land.
This was an era of bartering. Women could be exchanged for their bodies, and strong men could be exchanged for their freedom. The only thing Yang Shuo could offer was an old dog that was not fat but was very loyal.
The old dog with cloudy eyes seemed to have a premonition. It wagged its tail and licked Yang Shuo's hand, then lay down at his feet.
It had to be said that this was a world of despair!
Yang Shuo told himself that that was the last time he shed tears. From that moment on, his two family members became one.
He didn't want to cry because of the departure of his family members.
Because of the lack of food, Yang Shuo kept scavenging for more than ten hours, but the food he got was still only enough to support the two of them.
Perhaps to subsidize this poor family, Nuo Nuo went out in the morning to look for food. She brought back a small bag of chocolate, a biscuit, and a wound that was scratched by a zombie.
The wound was severely infected, and the skin on her back was wrinkled and emitted an irrepressible stench.
According to past experience, Yang Shuo knew that Nuo Nuo was hopeless …
Seeing his sister turn into a zombie in his arms was a very painful thing!
Pain and regret intertwined in Yang Shuo's eyes. At this time, his arms began to tremble slightly. If he could be stronger, he would be able to walk out of this slum and live a better life.
But he wasn't a paranormal, and he didn't have any skills. He was just a scavenger struggling to survive in the wasteland, that's all!
For a short moment, he was absent-minded.
Soon, Chen Feng pulled himself together. He knew what he had to do. He had to find some of his sister's favorite food, three squirrels' candied fruit, wahaha, or some small biscuits with pictures on them.
These things were very precious, but Yang Shuo knew that he had to get some!
He clenched his fist tightly, and the pain from his fingertips made contact with his palms made him regain some consciousness.
Yang Shuo put Nuo Nuo on the carpet and covered her with a thin quilt. Then he stood up. Perhaps it was because he had been squatting for a long time or because he was too sad, his mind went blank for a moment, and then everything around him began to disappear.
Darkness.
Endless darkness.
Everything around him began to disappear, and what replaced it was the purest darkness.
In the next second, a voice suddenly sounded in Yang Shuo's heart. He seemed to have heard some faint calling.
