Darkness is Coming Chapter 166

  Black domain, the term noun among the corpse hunters, refers to the areas that are painted thick black on the maps issued by the Far Rescue Society.

   It is a real black hell, where the fire of civilization cannot be seen, only hunters and prey walk in the dark forest on the ground.

   That is also the destination of the heavy cavalry camp. The laboratory of Mr. Qiu that Hou Jie said was set up in the center of a black area. This shows that Mr. Qiu's strength is far beyond imagination.

   After running around for a day, the knights got off their mounts, found an open flat area, set up their tents, and set up clusters of bonfires, not at all worried that this might attract zombies and mutants.

   Until these knights took off their helmets and sat around the bonfire laughing and laughing, Hou Jie was surprised to find that more than ten knights were women.

   The female knight closest to Hou Jie was 1.8 meters tall, five-five and three-thick. If it wasn't for the fact that he had taken off his helmet to reveal his long hair and beardless face, Hou Jie would not have believed that she was a woman. Hou Jie was not surprised that such a sturdy female man would become a knight riding a heavy motorcycle, but looking to the right, a girl with an oval face and willow eyebrows, as gentle and elegant as a classical beauty, was sitting beside him. Jay was shocked.

   "Women can also enter the heavy cavalry camp?" Hou Jie turned his head and asked Tang Tao, who was standing on his right, curiously.

Although Hou Jie has made some wrong judgments and decisions, he is not stupid, and he is very good at interpersonal communication. He can often grasp the other party's mind and know what the other party wants to hear - thanks to this specialty , he can live until now.

   So naturally, during the stop-and-go journey that day, he and Tang Tao became acquaintances. Although they didn't talk about everything, they had a good conversation with each other.

   "Of course, why not?" Tang Tao replied without hesitation, "As long as you have firm belief and determination, you can become a knight in the heavy cavalry battalion."

"As long as there is firm belief and determination?" Hou Jie repeated Tang Tao's words playfully, causing Tang Tao to laugh twice, and added: "Of course, one has to go through arduous training and pass the examination before he can officially become a heavy rider. The knights of the battalion. Tsk, in fact, the proportion of women in the staff of the Far Rescue Society is not small, including Dawning, Judgment and those corpse hunters. There are women in the team. We do not engage in sexism, although women have a little physical strength It's a little short, but as long as he can pass strict training and assessment, he is still a good soldier who can carry a gun and fight."

"Hey, you misunderstood me." Hou Jie realized that his words were ambiguous, and he was slapped with a big sexist hat and explained, "I don't look down on women, I'm just curious. I have also stayed in other settlements and Xinyuanjiang. People there are very resistant to joining the army to fight corpses, or they are afraid. Aren't girls generally timid? I've never seen a few girls take the initiative. Stand up and take your guns to the front."

  Tang Tao sighed, what Hou Jie said was the status quo, a helpless reality, many people were reluctant to fight on the front line, so the dilemma of insufficient troops appeared.

  The lack of troops is the biggest problem. Both the 258th Brigade and the Far Rescue Association were severely damaged in the first international trade war. Although they destroyed the Southern Suburb mutant group in one fell swoop, they were unable to sustain themselves and could not pacify the Yuan River in one go, because of insufficient troops.

  Send the soldiers to recover the lost territory and fight back to the gray areas and black areas. Then who will protect the residents and people in the camp? A kind of argument spread in Xinyuanjiang and Jiangxin Island unwittingly, and slowly took root in people's hearts: Those who can survive have basically settled in Xinyuanjiang, Jiangxin Island or other settlements. The survivors who were exiled in the black domain have all died. In this case, why risk sending troops over there? Even if zombies and mutants are found, there will be no danger if the 258 divisions are fully defending the city, at least it is safer than taking a risk.

   This is a ridiculous remark, but unfortunately most people are limited by conditions and do not have a long-term vision and a correct overall view, so this argument has a market in Xinyuanjiang and Jiangxin Island, and many people buy it. After all, all living people have been tortured by disasters and wars, they have all experienced the pain of being separated from their relatives and loved ones, and they all cherish this hard-won peace. Even if it is only a temporary illusion, people are reluctant to break it.

   Of course, Tang Tao believes that the chairman must not have been influenced by such remarks that he decided to stick to Jiangxin Island and carry out the reconstruction work conservatively. The chairman must have a long-term plan and a profound plan.

   Seeing that Tang Tao was lost in thought and did not respond, Hou Jie began to think to himself, why are the people on Jiangxin Island so different from those outside?

During the three-day observation period after the subject was injected, Hou Jie went to Wuji Teahouse and listened to Old Wu Pingshu; went to Zero Point Bar and watched drunken fights by corpse hunters; went to the monument and bathed and changed clothes with others , worshipping devoutly; I have also visited various pavilions, walked through the streets and alleys, no matter where I go, I can always hear people's overflowing praise for the Yuanjiao Society, even those poor people who cannot even guarantee three meals a day, talk about When they arrived at the Yuanjiao Association, they all looked at them with respect and adoration. They never thought that they were living such a poor life under the rule of the Yuanjiaohui. It might be the fault of the Yuanjiaohui.

   "Are they all brainwashed?" Hou Jie pondered, also lost in contemplation and memories.

   He remembered a show he saw in the theater on his last night in Jiangxin Island. The name was very vulgar, it was called "Zhang Xiaoqiang's Counterattack".

To be honest, when I first saw the name, Hou Jie refused to go in and watch it, but Wang Li insisted, Hou Jie didn't want to slap his face, after all, Wang Li was extremely considerate of his food, drink and entertainment during the three days. , Even the father may not be so meticulous.

   At the beginning of the performance, Hou Jie was again surprised. Hou Jie originally thought it was a reenactment drama, but he didn't expect it to be broadcast in multiple episodes like a TV series. No wonder the huge auditorium was full of people.

   Considering the newcomers like Hou Jie, the considerate crew used narration to broadcast a review of the previous situation for them before the performance.

   "This episode is adapted from a true story, please keep quiet and don't disturb others to watch, thank you."

   "My name is Zhang Xiaoqiang, I was born in Yuanjiang, I am a diaosi."

   "I thought that I would be so stupid all my life, and then just follow the crowd and end this mediocre and mediocre life in ordinary and unwillingness."

   "Unexpectedly, the reality is even worse than I thought. Just when I suddenly woke up, quit games and smoking addiction, and decided to go out to find a serious job and work hard, disaster happened."

"A new type of virus first appeared in Yuanjiang. Who knows where it came from? Maybe it was launched by Egg Pain Stars. In short, many people died of the virus. Yuanjiang entered the city and blocked it. When the air defense alarm sounded When I was at home, I was still flying on the toilet at home. When I saw zombies appearing in every corner of the city and biting people everywhere, I was so frightened that I sat on the ground and flew."

   "I thought my life would end like this, but I didn't expect that the story that really belongs to me has just begun."

  Hou Jie remembered his reaction at that time, he was stunned for a long time, suddenly sat up straight, and started to look forward to the performance.
