Chapter 1 Human
Half a year is not long, and it is not short. But in the past six months, a lot of things have happened.
First of all, human beings have established their own bases, and based on these bases, they have established their own new cities - new cities without zombies and completely dominated by humans.
Governments without military power have been forced into a state of seclusion, and now it is the army that controls the superstructure of human society. Yes, these state violent organs reign as human protectors, exercising the power of kings and enjoying the treatment of emperors.
When the end of the world comes, the original farmland has been completely abandoned. The grain field last year was also full of weeds because no one took care of it at that time, which can be said to be grainless. So even if the army urges the residents of the base areas to make every effort to open up new fields, they still have to wait until next year to harvest new food...
This is the most difficult winter for human beings in the end of the world, because there is no food! If people want to survive, they can only rely on puffed biscuits produced by themselves before the end of the world and other foods that have a long shelf life. Even drinking water has been strictly controlled. Because almost all the running water on the surface is polluted by the zombie virus, each base has drilled many deep and super horrible deep wells in its own camp. But even so, the supply of domestic water is still very reluctant, so that it needs to be quantified to only one bottle per person a day.
Humans living in the base area have forgotten how long they haven't taken a shower. Maybe from the day of the end of the world... The current human camp is full of an unpleasant smell, as if something is moldy. It's like clothes and food, but who knows if the moldy one will be the human race?
Moreover, the difficult living conditions still cannot change the existence of the class. There will still be a group of ordinary people living with enough pure water, enjoying delicious and warm food, and appearing in front of the public in decent clothes every day.
Politicians, who rely on social forces to achieve their unspeakable goals, have become a thing of the past, and now the superiors are soldiers and mercenaries.
Soldiers are the leaders of the base area. It is their existence that enables the base area to have a stable life, so the ordinary people recognize all these benefits enjoyed by soldiers. As long as the soldiers do not oppress civilians too much, civilians generally choose to tolerate and bear it. After all, people still understand that it was the army that saved their lives.
The reason why mercenaries can enjoy this high-quality life depends entirely on their own efforts. If the army relies on collective strength to exchange glory for a colony of ants, then mercenaries are gladiators who use their lives to win wealth. They may die at any time, so they have won the respect of everyone in the base area with their own sacrifice. After all, although mercenaries and the army have different systems, they are also based on the ground.
The army sits in the rear to ensure the safety and stability of the base area. Mercenaries fight against zombies and aliens in the areas ahead that do not belong to the human sphere of influence, bringing hope of survival to the base area. One is the shield of the base area, and the other is the sword of the base area, which complement each other.
Half a year has passed, and it is no longer a secret that there are crystal nuclei in the zombie brain. On the contrary, almost everyone knows that there is a mysterious key to the evolution of life in the "compatriots" who have changed their life form. And the earliest group of people who left the base to hunt zombies and harvest crystal nuclei were the prototype of mercenaries!
In half a year, the zero-order zombies have been extinct. Now the zombies wandering outside the base area, the lowest level is the first level! That is to say, ordinary people without the protection of the army can't even beat a single zombie... To some extent, this strengthens human dependence on the base and the adhesion of the base.
War is always the fastest way to make scientific and technological progress. In just half a year, some unconventional equipment that used to appear in science fiction movies gradually began to flood, and the quality became higher and higher. But the progress of science and technology does not seem to be as fast as the evolution of zombies, and the current situation of all human beings is very bad.
Because Chu Feiyue has developed a device that can shield satellite signals, the global satellite system has not been poisoned by someone. Relying on those spying tools far away from the stratosphere, human beings easily captured the surrounding zombies and began to carefully observe the zombies.
It can be said that the person who knows himself best is always his opponent, so human beings began to carry out a detailed and thorough investigation of their "compatriots" and began to classify all the zombies that have appeared, forming a unified outline system.
And this zombie guide, which is still being improved, is synchronously shared to satellite terminals around the world through the satellite network. Because in this kind of thing, the collective interests of human beings have exceeded the partial ownership represented by the individual, and no one will take it for themselves, which is equivalent to being the enemy of human beings all over the world.
When it comes to satellite networks, we need to explain it here. Because of the complete paralysis of the urban communication network, the connection between each base can only be realized through satellite transit, and the corresponding data transmission channel has developed rapidly. In half a year, this technology has been improved to the stage where it can be used for civilian use - I have to say that war is the best catalyst for science and technology. This sentence is really true...
With the improvement of the satellite network, it surpasses the superiority of the original underground optical fiber. Human beings were suddenly surprised to find that this emergency technology could easily connect the world. It's not like the one who needs to "clip the wall" to go to the Tokyo hot official website (this is all harmonious?) With the IP protocol, the new satellite network can connect with any terminal shrouded in satellite signals on the earth without hindrance, and the speed is much faster than the original IP protocol.
The only problem is energy, but this problem has been solved by scientists around the world. Nowadays, satellite network terminals only need to rely on the vibration of the pulse of the human body to obtain standby energy - of course, if you want to do something else, you need to consume the energy stored in the battery. Because the United States and EU countries have opened up battery production technology, the practicality of a button battery is much better than before, but it is still not equipped with energy-consuming satellite network terminals. Therefore, the current satellite network terminal can only work for an hour when it is fully charged, and then it takes about a day to charge. Well, there is no limit when the electricity is plugged in.
The charging battery is not small, but it has also shrunk to the size of two red bricks. Each mercenary can carry a square battery with him to store enough energy for the satellite network terminal to recharge nearly a hundred times. And this gadget can sometimes be used as a weapon, so it is well received by mercenaries, referred to as crazy bricks.
Well, we don't need to care about the twisted bad taste of the mercenaries. Let's talk about the economy of the base area.
After the outbreak of the end of the world, the original monetary system has completely collapsed. According to the old man in the land who is ragged and has mental problems, he may be the original millionaire, millionaire or even billionaire. But now, they are nothing without enough self-preservation ability. And those precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum and titanium have also lost their hard currency status for thousands of years because they are simply precious but have no use value.
What is the most precious now? Water, food, bullets, crystal nuclei! Yes, these four things have become the new currency of mankind.
There are no human rights at the end of the world. Even the red carpet superstar before the end of the world is just a beautiful woman now. Compared with men, there is one more way for women to make money, which is to sell their bodies. Those women who were originally expensive had to fall into the mortal world in the end of the world, crawled in front of the desire to survive, opened their legs and lay on a pile of cloth that could barely be called a "bed" for a bag of bread or a bottle of water, and their body and mental numbness.
So, human society is actually broken, isn't it?
The army, as the manager of the base area, has had to lift the restrictions on guns and legalize the holding of guns by civilians under the oppression of the world. But correspondingly, they control the supply of ammunition... Do you want bullets? Yes, just exchange it with something of equivalent value.
It can be the food found by the mercenaries outside, the crystal core found by the mercenaries outside, and even the new first-hand information obtained by the mercenaries can be exchanged for life points at the material exchange opened by the army, commonly known as the mercenary hall (the name of vulgar dog blood), and then use these points to buy. Buy what you need.
There is no bloody plot of the army oppressing mercenaries, and the army is quite tolerant of mercenaries. Perhaps it is because most of the old foxes who like to play tricks have retired, and now the age of the leader of the base area is basically no more than 50. Unlike the old people's content with the status quo, leaders are not willing to be suppressed by zombies like this. And they understand that the existence of mercenaries actually fills a loophole in the army, so they have regarded mercenaries as unarmed special forces.
People in the same team, of course, there is no reason to embarrass each other. In fact, the army regards the status of mercenaries as a little more important than defensive soldiers. After all, he is a desperate hero on the front line. If he is cold-eyed, how can he be worthy of his conscience?
This is the current situation of human beings. No matter which continent, there is a similar situation. Several major bases stand side by side, supporting human society like Tianzhu. If they collapse, then the human sky will collapse.

Cough, prologue, the discussion is a little longer. But the most important thing is actually the satellite terminal, which looks like a good thing like a watch...
