Chapter 368 [Xingqi City] 17
No matter who mentioned this news, for some people, this is a good goal.
It's better than wandering aimlessly in the wilderness.
There are also small groups that quietly choose other directions.
The outer city of Xingqi City is a mixed bag of people. Not only is it somewhat separated from the black industries in the inner city, they are also responsible for the wasteland outside. The items that are found and exchanged in the wasteland are all picked up and delivered by people from Xingqi City. These people naturally know where the gathering places of those people in the wasteland are.
Rather than going to the Oasis Group's second base, which was uncertain and hearsay, it would be better to go to the gathering place where they had worked for many years and were familiar with it. However, this did not prevent them from noting the direction those people were heading. If it was difficult to get in the gathering place, then the Oasis Group's base was also a good option for a fallback.
To Jin Wanbai and her children, the Oasis Group's base sounded better than the gathering place of the wastelanders.
At least the former has Xingqi City as a material guarantee, and her husband is also there. Originally, she did not agree with him giving up his good job in Xingqi City and going to such a far place with no signal, just for a little salary. It is not unacceptable to live a tight life. But now, Jin Wanbai can only feel fortunate.
If it weren't for her husband's constant chatter about so many things about the base to convince her, and after they left, to reassure her, even with such poor signal conditions, her husband sent her messages at a touchingly slow speed, Jin Wanbai stroked the child's hair, walked among the crowd, and whispered to the frightened child, "Don't be afraid, we'll go find Daddy, everything will be fine."
"Hmm..." The boy buried his head in his mother's arms, his big black eyes filled with tears. "I'm not afraid, Mom..."
……
"According to the latest reports, the rebels attacked the outer city of Xingqi City at 10:23 am on March 12th..."
"What?!!!"
A few bored people finally climbed up the only high mountain next to the plain. After receiving the signal, they were ready to listen to some interesting news or catch up on the latest album of a star, but they heard this bad news instead.
"This is fake! How is this possible!"
"That must have been made up by those trolls! Just looking at those guys we saw along the way... How could that be possible? Impossible!"
It wasn't that they didn't believe it, but the settlements they passed by, regardless of who was awake, looked nothing like what they'd seen on the news! Forget any decent-sized buildings; they were all just a bunch of shabby people, their bodies in tatters, some emaciated, others with most of their bodies replaced by machinery. At first glance, they looked like humans, but those who didn't know them might mistake them for bionic humans with damaged artificial skins!
"How could such a person possibly break into Xingqi City?! It's fake! I don't believe it!"
"Hurry up and search, what are the casualties in the outer city? My mom still lives in the outer city! I'm the only one in my family who lives in the inner city because of work. I was thinking... I'll make enough money from this assignment to buy them a big house..."
As he spoke, someone was trembling so much that he couldn't speak. His hands and legs were weak, and he quickly opened his smart brain and raised it high to search for news.
But there is no need to search at all. Just click on various software and you will find that the most explosive news is that the outer city was attacked. The popularity is not very high because almost all the people in the outer city who paid attention to this incident have died, and the people in the inner city don’t care about the outer city. They just take a look, sigh, and then start watching their favorite unmodified 100% pure human records.
"This... don't worry. Xingqi City's defenses are well-known to be strong, and with Oga here, there shouldn't be many casualties. At most, the outermost circle of the city will be damaged, and at most a dozen people will die. Then they will be arrested by the police."
"Yeah, yeah. In my opinion, these people are exaggerating the casualty figures just to attract attention. Maybe even including those old news reports about attacks by androids, the total number could be over a thousand, hahahahaha..."
"Yes, and recently the outer city was reinforced with a newly discovered ether metal. They say it's impenetrable even to missiles. Where are the rebels going to make missiles?"
Everyone tried to comfort the colleague, and they felt at ease as they spoke. However, they still couldn't help but stare at the slowly spinning intelligent computer, and someone couldn't help but curse.
"This broken net is only a short distance from Xingqi City, why is it spinning so slowly?"
"—Over 130,000 people died and 70,000 were injured, of which 63,780 were seriously injured and have been taken to the hospital by medical androids for treatment."
"Angel Hospital, the largest hospital in the inner city, expressed deep sympathy and immediately opened a temporary rescue channel to the outer city on humanitarian grounds. They will do their best to rescue these compatriots who were unfortunately attacked..."
"The Mountain Eagle Group also issued an important speech on this matter and donated 300,000 yuan for the distribution of basic supplies for the reconstruction of the outer city..."
"The mayor issued a serious statement regarding the attack, stating that the severe consequences of this incident are inseparable from the newly developed electronic virus of the rebels... Currently, it is unknown whether the Oga main brain has been infected by the virus..."
"Bam—"
"Hey, hey, he's fainted...! Quick! Help him!"
"There's no medical equipment here! Someone bring some spray, please give him some—"
"Lan Lan?"
Bi Ke tilted his head. He completed the mission and came back soon, but didn’t Lan Lan look very happy?
Feng Lan looked calm, but her eyes were heavy with pressure, and the smile on her lips had disappeared. She patted Bi Ke and said, "It's nothing. Bi Ke did a great job."
Feng Lan closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, all her emotions had been suppressed. "Huahua, now you need to spread towards Xingqi City. You don't need too many flowers and plants, just a small path will do."
"Okay!" Huahua agreed and gently rubbed the little Lanlan with her now huge body. Because she had to control the plants over hundreds of kilometers, she mixed in with all the plants and grew very large, so she could not wrap around Fenglan like before.
The people in this world are crazier than Feng Lan could have imagined. Among all the copies Feng Lan has experienced, this copy can be called extremely evil. After receiving the news that the cleansing plan will continue, Feng Lan helped them eliminate another option. The fate of this group of old and young immortals has only one end: death.
As for those who were killed by players in the outer city, Feng Lan could only say that they left early and enjoyed themselves.
"Hu..." After exhaling a breath, Feng Lan added a new filtering formation outside the new city. In the Tianxing Continent, it has a nice name, Questioning the Heart.
As the name suggests, if one wants to enter the base through this formation, then the person must go through his own journey of self-examination before entering the real base. Otherwise, they will only wander around in the formation. This is also a way for Feng Lan to screen out evil people.
Surviving the purge does not mean that all those who died in the purge were bad people, nor does it mean that all those who remained were good people.
