Waves of faint sunlight struggled to penetrate the slightly thick clouds and sparsely poured into the service area.
Survivors kept coming out of the shacks, carrying torn sacks made of who knows what material, and walked towards another direction like zombies.
Looking in that direction, as far as the eye could see, Chen Yan could see several huge mountains of garbage.
It should be several kilometers away from the service area, and I don’t know how it was formed.
Judging from the actions of the survivors, the garbage mountain is likely the work area for the survivors living in the shacks.
The survivors must have been searching through the garbage mountain for usable "treasures" and then using the "treasures" they found to exchange for the supplies they needed to survive.
The dome building located in the center of the service area also opened its doors at this time.
Several women came out of the door carrying wooden barrels, then began to bend down and take out pieces of cut meat from the barrels, and then neatly stacked the meat strips on the ground around the dome building so that the sun could expose the meat strips.
There is a separation zone at least ten meters long between the dome building and the surrounding shantytowns.
No survivor living in the shantytown dared to enter the isolation zone without permission.
As the women hung more and more strips of meat to dry, people in the shantytown couldn't help but look at the strips of meat, their eyes filled with uncontrollable greed and desire.
But from beginning to end, the survivors in the shantytown just stared at the meat strips, and no one dared to go beyond the line.
Chen Yan looked at the strips of meat a few more times and was able to roughly confirm what kind of meat they were made of.
A month ago, he would have felt disgusted, but now... he just felt normal.
When the most basic survival needs can no longer be guaranteed, people are no longer human beings, but beasts.
A plaque hangs above the main entrance of the dome-shaped building.
On the plaque was a line of large characters engraved: Kahn Company Base No. 116.
Compared to other survivor settlements encountered after leaving the Blackthorn Camp, this base directly under the jurisdiction of Kahn Company seems to have much better economic conditions.
At least the huge garbage mountains within sight can become the pillar industries of this stronghold, so that the lower-class survivors living in the stronghold do not need to run to the city ruins to take risks.
At the entrance of the service area, there were two relatively strong men surrounding a skinny man and beating and kicking him.
The skinny man curled up into a ball, as if he was protecting something in his arms.
The two burly men were cursing and looked like they were going to beat the skinny man to death on the spot.
The appearance of Chen Yan and his group attracted the attention of two burly men.
The beating paused for a moment, and the two burly men met Chen Yan's curious eyes.
One of the burly men couldn't help but spit on the ground and said angrily, "What are you looking at?"
kindness? !
Chen Yan was instantly distracted. His mouth reacted faster than his brain, and he blurted out reflexively, "What's wrong with you?"
"Fuck! Where did this fool come from? How dare you pick a fight with our Gopher Gang? I think you're tired of living!"
The burly man was greatly enraged by Chen Yan. He immediately stopped beating the man on the ground, reached out and pulled out a dagger from his waist, and walked towards Chen Yan and his group with a ferocious look on his face.
The other burly man had almost the same reaction, but compared to the burly man holding the dagger, the other man took out a pistol that looked rather simple and backward from his arms.
Completely different from the 'Eclipse' series of energy firearms used by the small group, the pistol the man pulled out of his arms was clearly a gunpowder weapon.
And judging by the crudeness of the gun, it's clearly not an assembly line product, but rather a homemade one made by hand...
Of course, a homemade gun is still a gun, and the bullets it fires can still kill people.
The reason why the two burly men were so arrogant was that they did not seem to be afraid at all when they saw Chen Yan and his group of more than ten people. The earth gun undoubtedly played a huge role in this.
"No...why don't you play by the rules? After I told you to look at me, shouldn't you have replied, 'Let's try again'? If we really want to fight, you should have waited for me to say, 'Let's try,' right?"
Chen Yan was speechless.
"What the hell are you talking about?!"
The burly man holding the dagger frowned, and he had already come to a place not far in front of Chen Yan. He had no intention of arguing at all, and raised his hand and waved the dagger towards Chen Yan!
In his words, actions, and behavior, this man displayed an absolute disregard for life.
He wanted to kill people on the spot if he disagreed with someone. He wasn't even an Awakener, yet he was still so arrogant and domineering. It seemed that the area controlled by Kahn Company was not peaceful either...
Chen Yan sighed, then, having been the first to act, raised his hand and grabbed the burly man's wrist. Then, with a slight force, he twisted the man's wrist back. Holding the man's wrist, he stabbed the dagger firmly into the man's neck...
In an instant, the man's eyes widened and he lost all strength in his body.
As Chen Yan released his hand, the man opened his mouth, but no sound came out and he fell limply to the ground.
The burly man holding the homemade rifle was stunned.
But before he could react, Chen Yan had already rushed to him.
At the same moment when he subconsciously wanted to raise the spear in his hand, Chen Yan reached out and strangled his neck...
The deaths of the two immediately attracted the attention of some people in the shantytown.
Those people looked different from the lower-class survivors in the shantytowns.
Compared to the survivors at the bottom who were naked and haggard, those people were still quite strong and each of them was obviously more energetic.
"Benefactor! Run! You killed someone from the Gopher Gang! The Gopher Gang is the largest gang here! They have over sixty members! Everyone in the shantytown lives under the tyranny of the Gopher Gang! You killed one of their people, they will definitely not let you go!"
The man who was originally curled up on the ground suddenly shouted at Chen Yan.
The man's face looked a little anxious.
However, because the man raised his head, Chen Yan could see clearly what he had been protecting in his arms.
It was the hind leg of some unknown mutant creature.
It can barely be considered intact. Judging from its size, if the bones are removed and the meat is taken out, about four or five pounds of pure meat should be taken out.
For the survivors at the bottom of society, this is indeed a fortune worth fighting for with one's life...
