In the evening, a "steel convoy" arrived and delivered ammunition.
The tires of the vehicles were all made of steel. The convoy had more than a dozen knights, five armored vehicles and three armored transport vehicles.
In an empty transport vehicle, Chu Fei found a few new "little friends", who looked like young men and women of thirteen or fourteen years old, most of whom were sobbing silently.
This made Chu Fei feel a little depressed.
As the night deepened, Chu Fei fell asleep listening to the explosions, and was not energetic when he got up early.
At dawn, he was pulled up by Captain Huang.
Chu Fei wanted to stay in bed. He was sore all over after getting up early, and he didn't want to move his fingers. Unfortunately, he could only think about it.
More than ten minutes later, locomotives and armored vehicles roared towards the mountains, and the steel tires rolled over the zombies, making a sound that made people's teeth ache.
Chu Fei stepped on the ammunition box and observed this barbaric world through the railing of the transport vehicle.
In the dim skylight, there were zombies swaying everywhere.
Scavenging birds kept landing on the zombies.
A zombie approached the convoy and was immediately knocked over by bullets.
With sufficient ammunition, the threat of zombies is not great. But the industrial capacity in the end of the world is really worrying.
Chu Fei asked the female knight next to him, "Sister, why did so many zombies suddenly appear? There were only beast tides before, right?"
Sister?
The female knight looked at Chu Fei, then at the boy curled up in the corner and sobbed, and said coolly: "I don't know."
Chu Fei said, glanced at the steel locomotive fixed in the carriage, and envy flashed.
The convoy passed by two villages, leaving ammunition and taking away several sobbing teenagers.
Seeing this scene, Chu Fei asked the female knight again.
The female knight said leisurely.
The sheltered villages not only have to pay protection fees, but also give people!
In the end of the world, the most precious thing is "people", and the biggest consumption is also "people".
Different "forces" have different requirements, some require adult warriors, some require strong and childbearing women, and so on.
What Shuguang Academy wants is 12 to 14-year-old boys and girls, and they also give subsidies - in fact, it is money to buy lives.
Those who voluntarily sign up will receive 5,000 yuan; those who are forced to sign up will receive a subsidy of 1,000 yuan.
1,000 yuan for a life, clearly marked!
The convoy continued to move forward, but Chu Fei stared at the wilderness in a trance.
Chu Fei did not speak, and the female knight took the initiative to speak, "Do you think human life is worthless?"
Chu Fei remained silent.
The female knight sighed and said faintly, "I entered Shuguang College at the age of 12. Before that, I ate grass roots for seven days."
Chu Fei suddenly woke up. This is the end of the world, and the morality of the prosperous times cannot be used to evaluate it.
The knot in her heart was untied, and she couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is big data cultivation?"
The female knight pondered for a while and said, "This is difficult to answer. I can only say that big data cultivation is the most precious legacy of the Yanhuang Federation.
By the way, my name is Zhao Hongyue, you can call me Sister Zhao."
"Okay, Sister Zhao."
Zhao Hongyue was silent for a while, and suddenly squeezed out a sentence from her teeth: "But in my opinion, big data cultivation is not only the most precious legacy, but also the most hateful legacy!"
"Ah? Why?"
Zhao Hongyue gritted her teeth: "Big data cultivation is the product of peak science, and the foundation of science is mathematics.
Mathematics is something that you can't do, even if you whip it!"
Still need to be whipped?
I always feel that things are getting more and more wrong.
The convoy continued to move forward, and the carriage was quiet, with only the roar of the vehicles.
Until Chu Fei faintly felt the shaking of the earth.
"Earthquake?" Chu Fei looked up and looked around.
The vehicles began to roar, and they seized the high ground nearby. There were drones in the air, and missiles, machine guns, etc. entered a state of war.
Zhao Hongyue jumped on the motorcycle, and the motorcycle roared out of the carriage.
Before leaving, Zhao Hongyue told the teenagers: If the situation is not good, find cover for yourself.
Chu Fei lay on the railing and looked into the distance.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
Heavy roars echoed in the mountains and fields, becoming clearer and clearer.
The earth was shaking, the mountains were trembling, the rocks began to slide, and a panicked group of birds, beasts, zombies, etc. rushed out of the mountains and fields.
Suddenly, a bang was heard, and the ground shook.
In the distance, a rock wall collapsed, and a thick metal horn appeared, followed by a raised "deck".
The rocks flew through the air, and the huge metal body was revealed, with steel limbs like pillars below.
A "land aircraft carrier" appeared in front of Chu Fei, with more than 30 pairs of limbs below it moving forward alternately, crushing the mountains and rivers, and running rampant.
There are two mottled characters on the side of the "super aircraft carrier": Thunder.
There are artillery and missile silos on it, and radars are slowly rotating;
there are fighter planes on the deck.
Countless "tiny" beasts are running wild in front of the "super aircraft carrier".
Chu Fei was stunned.
Everyone just watched until the "aircraft carrier" went away.
Zhao Hongyue came back, shocked, "Thunder City!
No wonder there was an outbreak of zombies, I'm afraid the Thunder destroyed their lair and rushed over.
But what is Thunder doing here?"
The team continued to move forward, and it was gradually noon.
After crossing another hill, Chu Fei suddenly saw a towering and winding city wall built against the mountain, cutting off the sky.
Above was pale sunlight, and below was the dark "abyss".
Black and white formed a strong contrast.
"Sister Zhao, what city wall is that?"
"The high wall of Feihu City." Zhao Hongyue explained simply, "The city wall is about 200 meters high, about 50 kilometers in circumference, the internal flat area is about 70 square kilometers, and the population is about 800,000."
The convoy continued to move forward, and the towering city wall gradually blocked the pale sunlight; the gray city wall was connected to the brown mountain, and there were many gun barrels on it.
The city wall had some slopes, and it was bumpy and mottled with new and old traces.
The city gate was busy with heavy vehicles entering and exiting.
After the inspection, the convoy entered the tunnel-like city gate, then passed through the messy traffic hub, passed the factory area filled with pungent strange smells, and then passed through the crowded and dilapidated residential area, and finally came to the south side of a small hill.
The vehicle stopped, and Zhao Hongyue said lightly: "We're here. Get off, I hope you like it here."
Chu Fei looked up.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a cement archway covered with old vines, with the words: Shuguang College.
On the southwest side was a nearly vertical cliff with jagged rocks and scattered buildings in twos and threes.
Suddenly, Chu Fei found a figure jumping up on the cliff.
What was he doing?
Chu Fei concentrated.
He saw the figure hit the jagged rocks, rolling randomly in the air, and then there was a shrill and short scream.
Chu Fei was stunned and stammered to Zhao Hongyue: "Sister Zhao...this...this is..."
"You are under too much pressure from studying. Okay, your class teacher is here."
Chu Fei was dumbfounded.
A man who was thinner than Captain Huang came up the mountain road. He had bronze skin and looked as agile as a cheetah.
Captain Huang stepped forward to hand over, "Teacher Cao, this is the roster for this time. There are 27 people in total."
Teacher Cao looked through it, nodded slightly, and said to Chu Fei and others, "Little guys, you are now students of Shuguang College.
I am your class teacher, Cao Liwen.
Now let's do a simple entry test.
Do you see the flag halfway up the mountain?
From here to the flag is about 600 meters in a straight line, and the time limit is 160 seconds.
The top three will be rewarded.
The last three or those who exceed the time limit will be punished with three whips!"
Whips?
Chu Fei's heart was awed, and he remembered what Zhao Hongyue said, and ran away.
With Chu Fei taking the lead, the remaining teenagers reacted one after another, and some ran very fast and soon surpassed Chu Fei.
Cao Liwen didn't say anything, but watched silently.
As the saying goes, a horse will die if it is seen as a mountain. The actual distance of 600 meters in a straight line is probably twice as much, and the mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel.
Several of the runners who were running very fast soon stopped halfway, holding their knees and gasping for breath.
Chu Fei's speed was not fast, but it was almost constant, slowly surpassing one figure after another.
But gradually, Chu Fei's legs and feet began to ache, because he was tired yesterday.
Two teenagers surpassed Chu Fei.
"Hold on a little longer! I see the flagpole!"
Chu Fei growled, veins in his neck bulged, and he gritted his teeth to grab the third place with a half-step advantage.
The two teenagers in front looked at Chu Fei.
One of the teenagers suddenly said, "I estimate the distance just now is about 1,100 meters."
The other said, "I think it's less than one kilometer."
Then the two looked at Chu Fei.
At this moment, a data flashed through Chu Fei's mind: 977.6 meters; a dazzling "gem" flashed in the haze.
Chu Fei was surprised, but he said, "I think it's more than one kilometer."
The boy who spoke first smiled at Chu Fei, "My name is Li Honggang."
"Chu Fei."
The other boy glared at Chu Fei, but under the gazes of Chu Fei and Li Honggang, he introduced himself unhappily: "Jiang Shaohu."
