The Executor of the Heavens: Beginning with the Watch Dogs

Chapter 93 The New Dangerous Hunter Is Coming
"Artyom, are you awake?" An old man with gray beard and hair knocked on the door, looking at the young man who was dozing off on the bed.

The young man also woke up immediately after hearing the middle-aged man's voice, sat up abruptly, and looked at him.

"You're finally awake," the old man in a black fur coat looked at the young man and teased, he waved his hand, asking the young man to follow, "Hunter is coming here, he should have brought some news from other platforms , let's go."

"I'll clean it up, I'll be right away." The young man started to tidy up some sundries on the bed, looked at the postcards on the wall with pictures of famous buildings from various countries, and silently turned off the lights.

……

The young man is Artyom 20 years later, also known as Xie Yuan.

This place used to be the duty room of the conductor, but later a train telescopic door was pulled down and pressed here, so it became Xie Yuan's bedroom and study.

Twenty years ago, the old man who had just come to inform him, that is, the station master of that station, Alik Xie Sukhoi, adopted him after taking over Xie Yuan from his mother.

At first he was a bit reluctant, but soon the loud noise and considering her last words "live well" were like an order to him, he accepted the reality.

In any case, in this world, at least in the eyes of the present people... they are the only remaining human beings in the world.

The first year of subway survival has been tough, belly issues and medical issues are two of the biggest chronic problems in the world, and now it's a matter of life and death.

But I have to admit that human beings really have a kind of unity in the face of great dangers. Many volunteers wore gas masks and chemical protective clothing from the past, and braved the radiation damage from the outside, spontaneously from the surface of the earth. Bring back a lot of survival supplies.

Although they died outside due to radiation sickness soon, it was because of this undaunted spirit of sacrifice in the past few years that human beings finally survived the initial panic and pain.

And these sites are beginning to be able to support themselves:
Some sites have started to focus on agriculture, using excrement as fertilizer to grow mushrooms and other edible fungi, and then use the fungi to feed pigs and rabbits rescued from above for breeding.

If there is a good harvest of mushrooms this year, they will even use the surplus mushrooms to make wine, such as vodka, which is already a category of just-needed luxury goods.

Some are mainly economical, using the directions of the stations extending in all directions as a turnover place to exchange goods.

Some are all-military bases, used to defend these economically and agriculturally dangerous places, and some sites even have scientists and cultural intellectuals who survived before the war.

However, each site must have a "workshop" for the production of weapons, where the military and civilian weapons and ammunition collected by the pioneers who go out are collected from the outside, and those who are capable will also make homemade weapons and bullets.

The military bullets produced before the war, which are different from the homemade bullets, have become the "unified currency" unanimously recognized by all sites in Moscow.

With the unremitting efforts of everyone, a subway civilization has been formed in this way.

To be honest, if everyone can maintain this kind of constructive mentality and spirit of solidarity, it may not take too long. As long as the radiation value above is lowered, this subway civilization can immediately rush to the surface and rebuild human beings on the ground. civilization.

But... human beings are also creatures that can easily divide into factions. After eating and drinking enough, human beings begin to divide into factions, and begin to have differences in concepts and ideas.

For such differences in ideas, concepts, regions, and interests, different factions choose to use the body to destroy this tradition, an ancient, cruel, but effective method.

Then the stations of the various lines of the entire subway began to slowly unite and form forces. The most powerful and profoundest in the entire subway, of course, belonged to the "Hanseatic League" forces occupying the ring line of Metro Line 5.

This faction is characterized by a complete oligarchy. They use trade to dominate the discourse. The organization monopolizes trade in the entire metro world.

On the other side, the forces under the banner of "inheriting the Red Army" and the so-called "new communists" are fighting again.

One has no theoretical basis for communism, but likes to imitate the political style of Comrade Iron and Steel in every way; while the other advocates the theory of "only purebred people are the best", but in fact, except for the residents of the site where he is stationed, everyone else It is an enemy that must be eliminated!

The former formed the "Red Line" organization, occupying most of the stations and tunnel sections of the Metro Red Line (Line 1); the latter formed the "Fourth Reich" organization, occupying the interchange of Lines 2/7/9 (Tver -Pushkin-Chekhov).

The two sides are torn apart daily, just like the Soviet-German battle in 41-45, but in the eyes of Xie Yuan, who really participated in the Great Patriotic War, this is very ridiculous and sad.

Because before entering the subway, 99% of Moscow, as a city with particularly strict controls, are Slavic whites!

And the last huge force, also among all the subway underground forces, is an organization called "city-state" among the relatively harmless forces.

They occupy a 4-line interchange station called "Metropolis" Polis, and their members come from some neutral people, trying to preserve the knowledge and memory of the world in front of the station.The organization also set up a special force "Spartan" to defend itself.

The "Spartan" ranger troops, originated from the garrison guarding the Red Square, are now also the security forces of Polis. They are well-equipped and powerful, and they are a constant force to maintain the overall peace of the subway.

In addition, there are still some independent or semi-independent station complexes in other places.For example, they are on Line 6, the National Economic Achievement Exhibition Station.

This site includes people from two sites, and the other is the guy from the Botanical Garden site, which is the part of Xie Yuan.

The joint leader of the two stations is old Alexei, so according to the feudal theory of the past, Artyom is still a prince of a small country!

It's just that such a young master is also a doormat occupation. The current military mobilization capabilities, equipment, and combat effectiveness of the guards at the National Economic Achievement Exhibition Station are far inferior to the existence of the "Hansa".

So even if they can produce their own food, weapons and ammunition, and even a small part of equipment, they still have to accept the pricing power of the Hanseatic, which is their exploitation.

However, although the VDNH exhibition stand is small, it has all the internal organs, and there are still many places to talk about and be proud of.

For example, in the first one, the location of the VDNH exhibition stand is relatively remote, so the troubles of the "Soviet-German battle" will not affect this place.

Secondly, Xie Yuan developed a specific food output for his home through his own consideration of the underground environment of the subway - protein block

Although the raw material looks disgusting, it is food made of "cockroaches" that Xie Yuan bred through the corpses of mutant monsters.

However, in view of the fact that there is still a gap in the production of mushroom farms, and after years of cultivation, the production of protein blocks is relatively large, which can also be regarded as a good supplement for edible mushrooms.

Moreover, this stuff has been processed and can be stored for a long time. Although... the people in the station never eat this stuff, but when the Hanseatic League knows that this stuff can't kill people, they have to take a lot of stock from here every time.

And the military capabilities of their station are far superior to those of other independent federations. At least through protein blocks, VDNH has made a lot of money.

Most of Alexa's money was spent on armaments—in order to prevent the pink eyes of other stations from going crazy and desperate to grab the protein block business, production line, and formula.

But this advantage is slowly disappearing, and the root cause is the attack of mutant creatures. It can be said that the mutant creatures are becoming more and more irritable, and they should have become better after Alexei expanded his armaments.

But a new threat is quietly coming here.

……

After Xie Yuan cleaned up the room, he went out of the room and followed his adoptive father.

Even the adoptive father walked in the passage of the subway station together, and the residents along the way greeted Xie Yuan very kindly when they saw Xie Yuan:

"Hello, Artyom."

Xie Yuan also politely returned the gift to them.

"You already have a qualified leader foundation." The old man looked at his adopted son with admiration. "Maybe this station will depend on you to maintain order in the future."

"It's still early! Alexie" Xie Yuan has never been interested in being a leader, especially for a prodigal like himself, saying that it is impossible for him to stick to one place.

"Oh, you should learn to put your temper away, Artyom." Alexey sighed, "There won't be any good places outside, and we're the only ones left in the world, that's a fact."

"There are nuclear defense projects at the same level as the Moscow Metro, and there are all over the world. We can live, so how can those low-priority places not be able to live?" Xie Yuan has always believed that there are people outside, but this reason is also why he is unwilling Take over the webmaster's excuse.

"Alas." Alexie could only sigh again. In order to promote the post of webmaster, Xie Yuan even popularized knowledge to many children and peers, passing and sharing the knowledge he could learn selflessly.

In the entire station, apart from him, the current station master, Artyom has the highest status, but he just refuses to take over!

Just after turning a corner, he met Nikolai, the adoptive father's assistant, who stopped Alexei angrily: "Alexey!"

The adoptive father who was stopped by Nikolai could only stop and ask kindly: What's the matter?Nicola?

"If we don't stop the mutant creature's attack, we won't be able to hold on for long. We have to take action." Nicholas reported worriedly, and he glanced at Xie Yuan after he finished speaking.

The adoptive father's expression was also very helpless: "What else can we do? Well, Hunter is coming, let's listen to what the hunter has to say first."

Xie Yuan also went up to talk to Nicholas: "After receiving Hunter later, I will go out and help them clean up."

Nicholas shook his head: "I believe that as soon as you go out, the mutants will stop for a while, after all, our station is one of the few stations in the Moscow metro ring that dare to use mutants as fertilizer, thanks to your knife.

But you should be more ruthless, don't have a good impression of the dark ones just because they saved you when you were a child, the dark ones will kill us all! "

When it came to the matter about the Dark One, Nikolai deliberately lowered his voice, but after he finished speaking, he gave Xie Yuan a vicious look, turned around and left after stamping his feet.

Xie Yuan left with a wry smile on his face and silently followed in the footsteps of his adoptive father.
