Chapter 214: Each of us is developing...
Another way is to go out of the city to hunt infected bodies or collect important supplies in exchange for crystal cores. In order to ensure the safety of the city, the government decided to organize psychics to start building a city wall that can surround the entire Jianghuai City. After discussion, it was decided to demolish all the bungalows on the edge, and transport the demolished fertilizers out of the city, where they would be processed by psychics who are proficient in earth-related materials and used as materials for building the city wall.
Nowadays, there are many vacant buildings in the city. According to statistics, the human population has dropped sharply after the black fog, and the total number of people in the safe zone does not exceed five million. Now that Jianghuai City has been thoroughly cleared, it should be more than enough to accommodate these five million people.
These five million people can be considered the elite of humanity. The government has counted that those with superpowers, regardless of their strength, number about one million. The remaining ordinary people often suddenly awaken. All those above level B are incorporated into the army by the government. Part of the army is responsible for clearing the infected bodies that break into the surrounding areas, and another part is used to go out to "open up new land" and try to expand the human territory before the zombie tide arrives.
Most of those left behind in the city were people with special abilities below level C. Depending on their abilities, some of them were assigned to build city walls, some were responsible for urban construction, and some were used to maintain order in the city.
The human side is developing in an orderly manner, thanks to the fact that the infected bodies have been slow to attack. Ever since Zagros released five S-level infected bodies, things have been in chaos. First of all, these five S-level infected bodies are elusive, and Crazy World is trying like crazy to find them and eat these mice who dared to touch his cake.
But these rats were slippery and they didn't want to fight him head-on. Instead, they kept instigating other A-level infected bodies to go against him. These people knew a lot of secrets of the black fog through their authority, and the backup he had left in their bodies was also removed. Because the fragments of the crazy world were pulled out, their strength fell to B-level, but from then on they were free from shackles, and with the addition of five S-level bodies providing them with a large amount of black fog energy, they could return to A-level as long as they recuperated for a period of time.
The appearance of the black fog before also brought many benefits to all the infected bodies. First of all, some of the infected bodies have intelligence that is not inferior to that of humans. These S-level infected bodies also started to gather them on a whim and formed a city-state like humans.
When the city-state was established, they suddenly discovered that the ownerless luck in the black fog began to condense, and the aura of the crazy world was weakened again. The luck of the five of them was actually combined with this city-state. Every infected body in the city-state can provide them with a bonus of luck. With such an accumulation, they feel that as long as they do not leave the city, the crazy world can't do anything to them.
As expected, this city seemed to be very resistant to the power of the Mad World. During this period, the Mad World launched several attacks, but the Mad World did not gain any benefits under the combined power of the five people in the city. Moreover, since the emergence of the city-state, the luck of the infected bodies has been constantly condensing. As long as they reach level B, they will no longer be affected by the Mad World, as if the infected body's camp no longer recognizes the rights of the Mad World.
This also caught Crazy World off guard. He was the Lord of the Black Mist and the initiator of the creation of the infected bodies. He originally thought that he could rely on the luck of the infected bodies to regain control of the world, but in the end he was defeated by five rats. Now his power has been divided again.
The source of his power is essentially the black fog and the infected bodies. The arrival of this wave of black fog that he controlled did indeed cause a sharp drop in the number of humans. As a result, the surge in the number of infected bodies also allowed him to regain 70% of the world's luck. However, it was at this moment that the betrayal of the infected bodies took away half of his luck. Originally, if he had pressed on with the victory, he would have been able to destroy all humans at any cost.
But ever since the five S-level infected bodies learned from Zagros that once humans disappeared, Mad World would regain control of the world, they became afraid. They were afraid that they would be the next to be devoured, so they wanted to temporarily give humans a hand under the pretext of building a city-state. However, they did not expect that this unexpected surprise would come to them by mistake.
However, since the establishment of the city-state, the Crazy World did come to seek revenge several times, but to no avail, and then gradually disappeared. These people cannot leave the city-state now, and can't feel any trace of the Crazy World, but they can already sense that the Crazy World does not seem to belong to the camp of the infected, otherwise it would have been more or less contaminated by some of their luck. Now, as long as it is a city-state built by the infected, the Crazy World has never set foot in it.
Thinking back to when Crazy World always said that he was once the master of the world, and he acted condescending towards them, and seemed to be very disdainful of the infected bodies, it felt like a tiger in plain land being bullied by dogs. When I think about it this way, could it be that what he said was true?
But now the two sides are already at a fight to the death. The Crazy World wants to devour them, but they also want to devour the Crazy World. Since the establishment of the city-state, the strength of the five of them has been able to compete with the Crazy World. It's just that the other party is hiding now, which makes them feel a little uneasy.
After several discussions, they thought of the young man who had scared away the crazy world before, and wondered if they could seek his help. But for some reason, they began to tremble inexplicably when they thought of him, as if their souls were afraid to come into contact with this person again. So they temporarily gave up the idea of looking for him. In order to further improve the strength of the city-state, they can only temporarily give up the human side and keep worrying about the intelligent infected bodies entering the city-state to enhance their strength.
Fortunately, they also have control over the black fog, which is extremely beneficial for the advancement of the infected body. Although it is not as much as when it was covered by the black fog, it can still draw a lot from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which solves the daily consumption of the infected body.
The human side is not easy either. When they were evacuating, those high-level infected bodies had already issued orders to a large number of low-level cannon fodder, instructing them to continue attacking humans, not seeking to destroy them but only to delay their progress.
Fortunately, the human side had an exchange system for logistics, and with the help of a large number of psychics who worked day and night to build the wall, it took only half a month to complete the construction. This wall temporarily solved the urgent problem, at least it could stop the low-level infected bodies.
Moreover, with the A-level humans in charge, these infected bodies, no matter how many there are, will all die. In the end, three S-level mutants were created by relying on a large number of low-level crystal cores.
