Ash Civilization

Tongfu City, Yulan isolation point.

At the door of the warehouse, Zhou Zhen was sleeping on a dusty folding chair with his head hanging down, his eyes closed, and his chest rising and falling slowly.

Time passed bit by bit, and he suddenly opened his eyes, stretched subconsciously, and sat up.

Looking around casually, Zhou Zhen felt that he was in very good spirits now. Just now, he experienced the perspective of an infected person again.

However, compared to the previous experiences, nothing happened this time from the perspective of the infected.

From beginning to end, it was aimless wandering.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Zhen stood up and walked towards the breeding area.

He wanted to see how the construction was going.

The big lights in the breeding area are on, and the lights hanging high on the ceiling are like a small sun, illuminating the bustling construction site.

The multifunctional intelligent robot works 24 hours a day without rest or physical decline, and is very efficient.

Moreover, the construction materials delivered to high-risk cities are specially processed and can be quickly finalized without waiting time.

At present, half of this planned breeding area has been built.

Zhou Zhen walked around the construction site, checking some details from time to time. After walking around, he nodded with satisfaction.

In order to continue to speed up the construction, he directly went to work personally.

After a while, along with the flying dust that had not subsided, the breeding area was initially built.

The entire breeding area is similar to a square box. Due to the total area of ​​the isolation point, its single-layer area is not very large, but there are seven floors in total. When spread out, it is quite spacious.

The layouts of these seven floors are all different. The lighting, wiring, waterways... are all different in order to meet the different needs of various poultry and livestock.

Zhou Zhen checked it layer by layer and confirmed that there were no problems. He left a multi-functional robot to take care of the final cleaning work and gave instructions to other robots to carry other building materials to the planting area.

He himself went to the public warehouse, moved all the various breeding equipment he had traded with Xiuhu Group last time to the breeding area, and asked the robot that had been cleaned to come and install it.

This kind of fully automatic breeding equipment has complete functions. Basically, after it is installed, you don't need to do anything else except adding water and feed when it reminds you, and taking it away to slaughter and package poultry and livestock in a timely manner. Also because of its many functions, the entire machine is very large. Even the parts include many large pieces that cannot be disassembled. Not to mention installation, even transportation is extremely difficult.

If they are ordinary workers, a dedicated team must cooperate with each other to transport them from the warehouse to the breeding area.

But Zhou Zhen was a compatible person, so the whole moving process was very fast. In just ten minutes, he had moved all the parts. The multi-functional robot also completed cleaning the breeding area and came over immediately to install it under his order.

Robots like this are more convenient than humans for installing equipment. Their limbs will automatically deform to assemble the required tools, and they can also deform into several robotic arms for assembly at the same time.

It only took more than half an hour for the fully automatic breeding equipment to be installed.

Zhou Zhen ordered the multi-functional robot to start debugging and confirmed that the equipment was operating normally. He went to the trading hall and drove the chickens, ducks, geese, cattle, sheep and pigs over, and asked the robot to carry the containers containing fish and shrimp to the breeding area.

Seeing the robot busy, placing all kinds of poultry and livestock into categories in the breeding area, he nodded slightly and made sure that there were no problems here for the time being. He left the robot behind and set it up as the administrator of the breeding area before turning around and heading there. planting area.

Here in the planting area, the robots that came first have already started working.

Robots are shuttled back and forth on the construction site. On the flat ground, the appearance of the foundation is quickly shown according to the drawings. The high-strength quick-acting concrete has also been proportioned and poured continuously, quickly outlining the outline of the main building in the planting area.

Zhou Zhen was watching from the side, and when he was about to go off to work in person as before, he suddenly heard a dull sound in the distance.

Bang bang bang!

This movement seemed to be a heavy blow on the civil defense gate.

Are there any homeless people coming?

Zhou Zhen was a little confused. He did not go to the civil defense gate immediately, but walked towards the main control room.

After arriving in the control room, Zhou Zhen found the surveillance camera outside the civil air defense gate, and immediately saw two figures in ghost suits standing in front of the civil air defense gate in the empty basement. They both wore fully enclosed helmets. Their faces were not visible, they had guns stuck in their waists, and they all carried a silver-white box on their backs. The box was full of holes, with many bumps, bullet marks, and knife wounds, but it still looked very solid and seemed to have a lot of experience.

Be a member of the Ghost Team!

Zhou Zhen was slightly surprised, and immediately walked out of the main control room and walked towards the civil defense gate.

He quickly came to the door, manually unlocked it, and pushed open the heavy door.

Outside the door, two ghost members were seen, one fat and one thin. The logo of the silver skull surrounded by black fire on the ghost suit was very clear. One palm was always pressing the handle of the gun at the waist. Although their expressions could not be seen under the barrier of the helmet, But the posture was obviously on guard.

As soon as he saw Zhou Zhen, the thin ghost immediately said: I am Ghost No. 012, and the person next to me is my colleague Ghost No. 018.

We came here this time to investigate the missing ghost No. 024.

Excuse me, are you Zhou Zhen, a member of the fifth group of Binhai City's former special operations brigade?

As he spoke, he took out an open ID and held it up in front of Zhou Zhen.

Looking at the steel-stamped certificate in front of him, with the word Captain clearly written on the rank, Zhou Zhen immediately stood at attention and saluted, and then said very seriously: Captain, I am Zhou Zhen. Ghost No. 024 is currently at this isolation point. inside.

Ghost No. 012 and Ghost No. 018 quickly looked at each other, neither of them were surprised.

Ghost No. 018 quickly asked: So, what is Ghost No. 024 doing now?

It's not convenient for you to call her out. We have to ask No. 024 some questions.

Hearing this, Zhou Zhen didn't think much and immediately replied: Ghost No. 024 should be sleeping now.

This is a high-risk city, and infected people may appear at any time.

Both captains, please come in and sit down first. I'll call number 024 right away.

As he spoke, he stepped aside to open the door to the isolation point, appearing warm and hospitable.

However, upon hearing Zhou Zhen inviting them in, Ghost No. 012 and Ghost No. 018 quickly shook their heads.

Before they came just now, they had already learned from some homeless people that the Yulan isolation point had been breached by infected people!

The energy they tracked along the way was that after Zhou Zhen left the abandoned industrial area, he went directly to the Yulan isolation point.

This coincides with the time when the Yulan isolation point was breached!

Not surprisingly, this isolation point was breached by Zhou Zhen.

As for why the other party did this?

How do normal people know about the world of mental patients?

Maybe the other person likes this place, maybe they just happened to meet each other, or maybe they just want to find a place to live...

Anyway, even if the current Yulan isolation point is not a digital forest, it is not much better!

In this situation where Zhou Zhen can communicate normally, they will not risk entering the Yulan isolation point!

Thinking of this, Ghost No. 012 immediately said: No.

We can deal with ordinary infected people.

If we really encounter an infected person that we cannot deal with, this isolation point will not be able to prevent it.

We only need to see No. 024 now.

Please go in and call her.

Seeing that the two captain-level ghosts seemed unwilling to enter the isolation point, Zhou Zhen did not continue to invite them. This Yulan isolation point used to harbor filth, and now he has basically demolished the facilities inside. Before the reconstruction was completed, it was also There really isn't any decent place to entertain guests.

Zhou Zhen nodded and said, Okay.

Both captains, wait here.

I'll call number 024. It may take a while.

With that said, he turned around and walked into the isolation point.

Step, step, step...

Listening to the footsteps gradually disappearing, Ghost No. 012 suddenly said in a deep voice: He has already reached the 'third step'. This speed is too fast!

Ghost No. 018 nodded slightly and said, Be careful next time.

According to the information in the data, this Zhou Zhen only has a compatible personality.

When he comes out again, pay attention to his infected personality!

While talking, the two ghosts acted quickly, put down the boxes on their bodies, opened them, and took out various equipment and ammunition... The two cooperated tacitly, and soon set up grenades and automatic fire points around them, and also put down a small force. Field device, ready for war at any time.

※※※

Yulan isolation point, laboratory.

Zhou Zhen strode in quickly and glanced at the messy instruments on the experimental table. He immediately confirmed what Tao Nange had done here after he went to bed just now. However, the laboratory was empty at the moment, with not a single person in sight. Tao Nange is not here now.

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Zhen took out his mobile phone and dialed Tao Nange's number directly.

A call tone suddenly came from the phone.

※※※

The incandescent lamp casts bright light, the electric fan whirls, and in Class 7 (Grade 3), the math teacher in a bright red dress is lecturing loudly.

The sound of the pointer hitting the blackboard sounded from time to time.

There were less than ten students sitting sparsely in the spacious classroom. Tao Nange sat in the front seat in the middle. There was a clear doubt in his hazy eyes. He seemed to be thinking hard about something, but due to his slow thinking, he couldn't stand it for a long time. Can't think clearly.

Jingle Bell……

Suddenly, the familiar bell rang.

The math teacher immediately put down the pointer without any hesitation, walked to the podium and started to pack up the lesson plans: get out of class is over!

Soon, the teacher picked up the lesson plan, stepped off the podium, opened the front door and walked out.

The front door automatically closes after the teacher leaves.

The crack in the door quickly narrowed, and just when the front door was about to be completely closed, a white and slender hand suddenly came out of the crack in the door, jammed the door, and then pushed the door open with a slight force.

Chu Jingyan, wearing a red and black plaid shirt and a white petal skirt, walked in with a gloomy face. Behind her was Pang Shaobin, who was holding a butcher's knife and full of murderous intent.

This time the bell rang for an extra long time, and it was still ringing until this moment.

Jingle bell…jingle bell…

I don't know why, but as the ringtone became clearer and clearer, Tao Nange, who was sitting in his seat, started to think a little more clearly.

At this time, Pang Shaobin picked up the sharp butcher knife and rushed directly towards Tao Nange.

Chu Jingyan picked up an empty chair nearby and threw it at a boy with a shaved head and a leather jacket and leather trousers next to her.

Jingle bell…ring bell…ring…

Just when Pang Shaobin was about to rush in front of Tao Nange, everything around him suddenly collapsed and turned into an overwhelming number, formulas, symbols...

※※※

Yulan isolation point.

laboratory.

Zhou Zhen stood in front of the experimental table, holding up his mobile phone. A rhythmic calling tone came from the receiver, beep... beep... beep...

On the screen, the call was in progress, but no one answered it.

Suddenly, he heard a familiar cell phone ringing next to him. Looking back, he found that Tao Nange was standing next to him at some point, holding a cell phone that kept buzzing in his hand.

Zhou Zhen immediately hung up the phone and said quickly: Sister Nan, your two colleagues No. 012 and No. 018 are at the door of the isolation point now. They said they want to see you if they have something to do!

Tao Nange came back to his senses and said immediately: I should be here to verify the application.

Go out and have a look.

With that said, she turned around first and walked towards the civil defense gate.

Zhou Zhen followed closely behind.

Soon, Zhou Zhen followed Tao Nange to the civil air defense gate again.

Ghost No. 012 and Ghost No. 018 were still standing outside the gate, showing no intention of entering the isolation point.

At their feet, there was an unopened miniature force field device. There were also some trigger traps arranged around it, as well as several groups of automatic firepower, which were combined into a firepower network. It could be said that it covered the basement outside the civil defense gate, as well as the stairs, The warehouse buildings above are all armed.

Zhou Zhen didn't think much about it. In high-risk cities, one should proceed with caution.

These two ghost members are both captains. It is very normal for them not to take the infected seriously in words and not to leave any loopholes in their actions.

The two sides met again. Before Tao Nange could speak, Ghost No. 012 immediately looked at Zhou Zhen and asked in a deep voice: Where is No. 024?

Zhou Zhen gave him a very confused look and said, Isn't Sister Nan already here?

At the same time, No. 024, who stopped at the door, replied: I'm right here.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two ghosts on the opposite side quickly took a step back as if they were suddenly bitten by a poisonous snake.

The palms of the two men instantly pressed the gun handles at their waists. At the same time, their bodies were slightly curled up, their spines were like arches, and their muscles were tense, ready to use force at any time.

Ghost No. 018's hand has been placed on the switch of the miniature force field device, and it seems that it will press it immediately if something goes wrong!
