Chapter 182 Great Smoky Mountains—Fog City

Life is not only about the present, but also about the future. Things on the other side of Shiwandashan have come to an end for the time being.

The macaque king brewed better monkey wine, and the monkey group became more powerful and ambitious.

Of course, there is another treasure in the treasure house of the City Lord's Mansion that can directly enhance the strength.

In Bai Li's tangled eyes, Bai Zhuzhu followed Li Lin and officially walked out of Shiwanda Mountain and slowly integrated into the world.

Opening the door curtain, a burst of cold air hit her face, and Bai Zhuzhu felt a chill all over her body. "Sister Qin Wu, in the entire Jade Dragon City, apart from the City Lord's Mansion, you are the only one with air conditioning."

Looking at Bai Zhuzhu walking in from the door, Qin Wu leaned against her bar and asked, "Would you like a drink?"

Bai Zhuzhu nodded, "Have a drink!"

After pouring a glass of wine, Qin Wu asked casually: "Having come out of the mountains, are you still used to life?"

"well enough."

Bai Zhuzhu thought for a moment, "Sister Wei Ya is very kind to me, and everyone else is also very polite."

"I'm just a very hypocritical person."

Qin Wu handed over the wine and laughed to herself, "I'm afraid of being alone, and I hate the excitement."

After taking a sip, Bai Zhuzhu said: "I do like the excitement, but I'm not familiar with it yet."

"Where's Li Lin?"

Qin Wu asked: "He left?"

"Li Lin is gone."

Bai Zhuzhu nodded, "Sister Wei Ya has to work, and sister Mo'er also goes home to visit her parents. I'm bored by myself, so I came over to see Sister Qin Wu, when will your bistro open?"

"It's still early to open, probably half a month away."

Qin Wu replied: "Come over and play when the time comes!"

"Ah."

Bai Zhuzhu responded and asked, "Where are the three sisters?"

"They went to City C with Split Sky to help clean up the underground cave. There are many zombie rats in it."

Looking outside, Qin Wu asked, "Did Li Lin say when he would be back when he left?"

"About three months."

Pursing her lips, Bai Zhuzhu suddenly asked: "Sister Qin Wu, I want to ask you, do you have any method to increase pregnancy?"

……

Facing the rising sun, head east!
Lying on Li Lin's shoulder, Xun'er had candy in her mouth, "Dad, where are we going?"

With brisk steps, Li Lin smiled and said: "I don't know, just let it go."

Xun'er asked again: "Then when will we come back?"

Li Lin said: "Come back if you miss home!"

He is now going to the Great Smoky Mountains to see the situation, the distribution of zombies along the way, and the number of survivor camps.

If he had enough time, he would also like to go in and take a look.

Of course, the same goes for wild forests.

In the entire Jade Dragon City, he is the only one who can travel around the world unimpeded. If you have enough time, go out and take a look, maybe you will get some unexpected surprises.

Xun'er lay on Li Lin's shoulder. There was no fear of the unknown in her eyes. Instead, she stared at the scenery passing by quickly around her.

It had been three hours since they left Base F. They saw several small survivor camps along the way, but Li Lin didn't choose to stop and just ran along the original highway.

Although there are dense weeds on the highway, there are no big trees, so it is easy to identify, and the road is relatively easy to walk.

Li Lin passed by two small satellite towns without stopping, until he reached City D, the first big city outside the sphere of influence of the F base.

Looking at the collapsed buildings in front of him, Li Lin finally stopped.

Climbing up a 30-meter-high tree, Li Lin took out his telescope and looked ahead.

What you see are hordes of zombies, surrounded by powerful mutant zombies.

This is the norm in the apocalypse. The huge zombie swarm in the city is almost insurmountable. Especially after the mutated zombies grow up and their IQ increases, it is impossible to defeat them one by one.

Without paying too much attention, Li Lin walked around D City and found that there were more than 20 camps of various sizes around it.

The small one has dozens of people, and the large one has 5000 to [-] people.

Without absolute strength and weapons, their lives were miserable.

All of them were skinny, with sallow complexion and skinny muscles, just like Li Lin in the previous life.

The bigger the survivor camp is, the better. The nearby resources are limited, and there is only so much food to feed, so it cannot feed too many people.

It doesn't work if the survivor camp is too small. The number of people is too small and it is not safe enough. It will be easily destroyed when encountering danger.

There were cannibals in seven of the survivor camps, so Li Lin naturally killed them all without mercy.

After the murder, Li Lin just waved his sleeves slightly and continued on the journey.

After stopping and stopping along the way, it took a month for Li Lin to finally reach the Great Smoky Mountains.

The mountains and swamps must be gathering places for ethnic minorities.

The Great Smoky Mountains are no exception, home to a large number of elm snake tribes.

They regard snakes as their totem and belief. They are naturally close to snakes and regard them as their ancestors.

However, compared to the Shanjian Clan, the Yushe Clan has been extremely sinicized. Most of the people have been completely integrated into the Federation, and only a very small part of the Yushe Clan still maintain their previous living habits.

Although they are heavily Chineseized, the genes close to snakes in their bodies have not faded away, which has created a certain basis for their survival in the end of the world.

In his last life, Li Lin came to the Great Smoky Mountains ten years after the end of the world. He started from Shiwanda Mountain and walked for more than half a year.

But in this life, he traveled all the way, stopping and walking, and it only took him a month.

On the outskirts of the Great Smoky Mountains, among the mountains, there is a city of more than 3000 million people. Because there is heavy fog basically every morning, 360 and five days a year, it is called Fog City.

Wucheng, with a population of more than 3000 million, is the second largest city in the southwest. It enjoys a high reputation in the Federation in terms of economy and culture.

More than a year has passed since the end of the world. At this time, there are also a large number of survivor camps outside Fog City, with a total population of more than 70.

From more than 3000 million to more than 70 now, it took just over a year, with an elimination rate of 90.00%.

When Li Lin came here in his previous life, there was only a survivor camp of 20 people on the periphery.

But the number of survivors who originally belonged to Wucheng was less than [-], which shows the local survival situation.

In Fog City, there is heavy fog all year round and there is no sunshine. The only six hours from ten o'clock to four o'clock in the afternoon is slightly better.

It's not that they don't want to escape, but there is no place to escape and the outside is more dangerous.

After leaving Jade Dragon City, being able to have five times the physical fitness of an ordinary person is considered a small master.

If there are ten times, then you are a real master.

Twenty times, the ultimate master.

Forty times, shocking to the heavens
Eighty times, unimaginable.

Don't generalize the power of Jade Dragon City to the whole world. Even if it is as powerful as Base F, which has a large number of firearms in its hands, the strong ones among them are only twenty times the physical strength of ordinary people.

But Bai Li, Tie Jiao and others had more than 30 times the physical fitness of ordinary people when they first met Li Lin.

Without Li Lin, they would be much worse than they are now, but their physical fitness would still be [-] times that of ordinary people.

But because of Li Lin, they are all now close to a hundred times the physical fitness of ordinary people.

However, whether it is sixty times or a hundred times, it is enough to ignore the ordinary people outside.This is also one of the reasons why the Shanjian Clan was extremely xenophobic in their previous life, looking down on those who were weaker than them.

However, the presence of Li Lin in this life completely suppressed their arrogance.

However, although the living environment in Wucheng is harsh, there are also many opportunities.

Because of the mountains and water, a large number of zombies fell from high altitudes and were reduced to pulp, or they fell into the nearby Gumang River and assimilated.

In addition, these dense fogs contain more spiritual energy, so there are more natural and earthly treasures than in other places.

But more mountains and more water also means that there are more powerful mutant beasts and dangers are everywhere.

However, the heavy fog is not without its benefits. The Great Smoky Mountains has a specialty-fog crystal.

Mist crystal is formed by condensing the spiritual energy essence in the mist. The spiritual energy inside can be directly absorbed, quickly improving people's strength.

It's just that it's the beginning of the end of the world, and there aren't many fog crystals formed, and the quality is also poor.

The further back in the apocalypse, the thicker the fog, the heavier the aura, the more fog crystals there are, and the higher the quality of the fog crystals.

This is a specialty of the Great Smoky Mountains, just like the specialty of the Shiwanda Mountains is the natural and earthly treasures related to poison.

There are many ferocious beasts in the wild mountains, and various mutant beast kings emerge in endlessly. They are not only numerous, but also powerful.

"Wow--"

Xun'er sat on Li Lin's shoulder and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Dad, there are so many people here, it's as lively as our Jade Dragon City."

Because Wucheng was built on a mountain and the terrain was relatively high, the seven days and seven nights of heavy rain did not have much impact on Wucheng.

And because a large number of zombies "actively" jumped off the cliff and fell into pulp, a large number of survivors survived.

But later, all the food in Wucheng was eaten up, and the humidity was heavy, so many people died of starvation and illness.

There are still a large number of old people and children in Yulong City, but in the survivor camp in Wu City, there are no old people or children at all.

At least Li Lin has been in Wucheng for three days and hasn't seen anyone.

This is the cruelty of the last days, survival of the fittest.

From more than 3000 million people to the current more than 70, it is not simply a change in numbers.

Glancing at the hazy sun in the sky, Xun'er said, "Dad, we haven't had breakfast yet."

Li Lin asked: "What do you want to eat?"

"Let's go eat yesterday's barbecue."

Xun'er said: "The food at that restaurant is good, but the boss is a bit fierce!"

"alright."

Li Lin patted Xun'er's head and said, "Let's go have barbecue."

After passing through a shanty town, Li Lin took Xun'er for three kilometers and finally came to a relatively bright and spacious market.

There are many people trading and bartering here, and many people have seized the business opportunity and started some catering business nearby.

For such a large-scale gathering of transactions, there must be strong support behind the market.

Otherwise, all kinds of burning, killing, looting, and the ugliness and greed of human nature will never make this a pure land.

Without entering the heavily guarded market, Li Lin walked towards a simple barbecue restaurant outside.

Two mobile pots and stoves, a few simple tables, chairs and benches.

Under Xun'er's bright eyes, Li Lin shouted loudly: "Boss, bring fifty kilograms of roasted mutton, and two pots of mutton soup."

The boss is a ferocious-looking man, nearly two meters tall, with dark skin, a leopard head and eyes, and a scar on the corner of his eyebrow, which adds to the fierceness.

Just seeing Li Lin, his ferocious eyes couldn't help but light up slightly, "Brother, I said that my barbecue is excellent. After eating this meal, you will definitely want to eat the next one."

"It does taste pretty good."

Li Lin smiled and nodded, "My Xun'er kept talking about it when she went back, saying that your boss looks too fierce."

The man's eyelids twitched slightly and he looked at the little man squatting on Li Lin's shoulder. He tried his best to put on a smile on his face and said, "Here, if I weren't more aggressive, I would have been eaten clean by others."

Although his heart is as vicious as his appearance, he can't help but show a touch of tenderness towards children.

Of course, this kid looks a little strange. He has hair on his face and looks very arrogant.

However, when the apocalypse comes, some people’s genetic mutations are uncertain.

So he didn't ask much about Xun'er, just treating her as a child of how old she was.

Moreover, Li Lin was able to survive in this apocalyptic world with a child of several years old, presumably because he was strong enough to gain his attention.

Knowing the other party's rules, Li Lin asked: "How much does this meal cost?"

The man smiled and said: "Seven iron beans!"

When eating here, you pay first and then eat.

Otherwise, if you insist on eating the King's meal, who cares?

Just give your life to others for free and don’t want it.

But if you eat the King's meal in Jade Dragon City, it will be a death penalty!

To know that to be able to enter the market normally, everyone in the town needs to check their identity several times in a row.

You can enter only if you are a formal member of Jade Dragon City, otherwise you will be turned away.

If you really can't eat due to some special reasons, you can go to the rescue point set up in Yulong City, where you can receive free rations for three days, and each person can receive it once.

When I get rich later, I can return the three days of relief rations and receive them again in the future.

This is a mature force with a stable environment and policies.

If there are no rules, if you eat the King's meal today, you will dare to steal tomorrow and rob the day after tomorrow.

The seeds of crime have already been left in the hearts of such people, so why keep them?

The survivor camp in Fog City is not so stable. There are alliances formed by several forces.

I once innocently used food stamps, but unfortunately no one is a fool.

Without a stable political power and absolute strength, the devaluation of food stamps would be as fast as the pouring rain from the sky.

After a general boycott, and then no more, the food stamps became a joke.

In Jade Dragon City, Li Lin can infinitely raise the upper limit of Jade Dragon City, and a group of middle and high-level officials are responsible for stabilizing the blueprint planned by Li Lin.

As the number of people in Yulong City increases, the business structure becomes more complete, and the value of money becomes more stable.

Taking out seven iron beans made from refined iron sand, Li Lin handed them over.

Refined iron is the most stable hard currency, and he brought a lot with him when he came out this time.

A grain of iron bean weighs one penny, ten grains are one tael, so the price is not expensive.

Of course, this is also because there is currently no way to mine refined ore on a large scale in Wucheng. The value of a refined weapon in Wucheng is immeasurable.

After collecting the iron beans, the man greeted the employees in the store and started working.

Roast mutton is not very hygienic, but Li Lin is not picky either. With his digestive system at this time, these are minor problems.

Xun'er was the same, holding a mutton chop and eating with his mouth full of oil.

After eating and drinking, Li Lin suddenly asked: "Boss, with your face, selling roast mutton here is really unqualified. Do you want to consider changing your job?"
