bloodbath song

Chapter 186 Want to survive, do hygiene!
The first time Ling Tao stepped into the city, the first thing Ling Tao smelled was a stench, so stinking that it almost made him sick. The red-black sewage in the puddles emanates.

All kinds of rubbish are everywhere, and sometimes you can see foot-long cockroaches crawling around, and some rotten bones and skins are everywhere, which makes people feel disgusting at a glance.

In some corners, there were people lying with a numb expression, curled up. If it weren't for the heaving chest, they would be no different from a dead person. Occasionally someone walked by, with a cold expression and numb eyes, as if they had no thinking.

Ling Tao's first impression here was that if he didn't know that this was Xihe City, where more than 20 people lived, he would have thought it was a ghost town.

"How could this be..." Looking at the scene here, Ling Tao muttered to himself, if he described it in one sentence without irony, the people here are not even as good as animals.

Liang Ping, who was walking in front, was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Ling Tao and said in astonishment, "Brother Ling Tao, let's go, what are you still doing?"
Ling Tao didn't leave, but pointed to the surroundings, especially the people who curled up like dead people in the corners and asked: "Brother Liang, why do people here live so miserable? They are all highly educated people, no matter how bad they are It's impossible to fall to such a point, and, look at the surrounding environment, can people survive? Something will happen sooner or later."

Liang Ping was stunned, then smiled, looked at Ling Tao and said, "Brother Ling Tao, I think you may have misunderstood something."

"Misunderstanding, how to say"?Ling Tao shook his head and asked, the facts are right in front of him, where is the misunderstanding?

Liang Ping pointed to the surrounding environment with a smile and said: "Brother Ling Tao, first of all, what you see is not what you think. In fact, Xihe City is not what you see. The environment here is quite special, so it was made Look like this, you see, that building over there is a slaughterhouse, of course, what is being slaughtered now is not livestock, but the corpses of mutant beasts, and not far ahead is the place where the prey is purchased, and everything is formed Strictly speaking, we haven't reached the residential area yet. The place where the mutant beasts are slaughtered and purchased is not placed in the residential area. The fear is that it will cause unnecessary trouble. The underground drainage system There is a problem, the sewage can’t be drained out, it’s just like this, people who have received higher education, of course know the importance of a clean environment for survival and life, real residential areas are not like this.”

After hearing Liang Ping's introduction, Ling Tao suddenly realized that this was the case, because the corpses of mutant beasts were disposed of nearby and would not be brought to real residential areas, which created the harsh environment here.

"Also, didn't you see a few people at all on this road? That's because almost only hunters like us come here. There is no way, the place to buy mutant beasts is here, you must come, Others would not come here, even if they are just waiting to die, because they are afraid of getting sick or something," Liang Ping continued to add.

Well, Ling Tao completely understood. To put it bluntly, this is the place where the corpses of mutant beasts are specially disposed of. Because of a problem with the sewage treatment system, it became like this. No wonder he saw bones and fur all over the ground. .

Perhaps, apart from protecting these precious resources, separating out the bones of the mutated beasts is also afraid that crazy people will come and snatch them desperately. After all, crazy hungry people can do anything.

As Liang Ping said, they are all highly educated people who know how important a clean environment is, especially in today's big environment, I am afraid that even a little environmental issue has become a top priority.

It was only at this time that Ling Tao understood that it is unrealistic in many post-apocalyptic novels that people live in a world that is not as good as pigs and dogs. Think about it, all kinds of germs and bugs are easy to breed in harsh environments. Once those things mutate, what will happen?

"But Brother Liang, what's going on with the people around here? Why are they here?"Ling Tao pointed to some people who looked like walking corpses on the corner of the street and asked in puzzlement, since there are only hunters here, why are they here?

Liang Ping looked at those walking dead people around him, shook his head and sighed: "They are all a group of hard-working people. You see, some of them lack arms and legs. They are all former hunters. Because they were injured, they couldn't rely on themselves. Mixing food and waiting to die, sometimes the place where the corpses of mutant beasts are disposed of will throw away some unnecessary leftovers, which become their food, and some people feel that life is meaningless because their family members are all dead, and their brains have problems. Live like this in a trance."

"Then don't care about it, what if they die and become the living dead?"Ling Tao said helplessly.

"How can no one care about it? Here, every half an hour, there will be an armed squad patrolling with 20 people, and they will check whether everyone is dead. If they are dead, they must be dealt with immediately. Don't Look down on those people at the top, they are more afraid of death, for their own lives, they will even pay attention to every detail," Liang Ping said, shaking his head.

Ling Tao was stunned and understood. Ordinary people are afraid of death, but some people with high buttocks are even more afraid of death. Ling Tao even guessed that for the sake of his own life, many times those people would compromise with ordinary people. Even acting as a good person, after all, if someone risked his life and committed suicide in a corner and became a living dead, it would be a disaster.

Of course, this is relative, those people don't mind compromising on small details, if it really pissed you off, you can threaten him to give it a try!
Following Liang Ping, after his explanation, I realized that the living environment in Xihe City is not as bad as I imagined. On the contrary, according to Liang Ping, in order to survive, the real living environment in Xihe City, even if it is a slum, I am afraid that it is ten times cleaner than the civilized cities that many boasted about!
Just imagine, a dirty and messy environment is prone to breed all kinds of creatures such as cockroaches, mice, maggots, mosquitoes, etc. Once they mutate, it will be disastrous in this densely populated place. In this way, people can't clean up the hygiene ?I'm afraid it's not an exaggeration to say that the ground is washed dozens of times a day.

"The books are all deceptive. Why is it impossible for people to live worse than pigs and dogs in the last days? Even if they don't clean up their own living environment, do you think you have lived enough?"Ling Tao smiled wryly in his heart. (In terms of the environment, the stone closely represents my own point of view. Thinking about it, I also doubt how the people described in other novels who almost live in garbage dumps survived)

Walking here, Ling Tao suddenly stopped and looked towards a place on the side of the street in this particularly harsh environment.

To be precise, it was a prefabricated house once used by the police to rest on the street. It was a small place. The reason why Ling Tao paid attention to it was because this small place formed an extremely sharp contrast with the surrounding environment.

Nearly ten meters around this small house, the ground is clean, and there is no sewage or garbage at all. The ground has been smoothed by many turns. It is conceivable that there must be potholes under the bricks. I don’t know if there is any sewage. , but at least the surface is extremely clean, even the bricks seem to have been washed by water.

Especially the small prefabricated room can be described as bright and clean, without any stains. After comparing it in my heart, Ling Tao found that the hygiene he did during school cleaning when he was in school was nothing compared to this small method. In perfunctory, too clean, too clean!
In that small prefabricated room, it can be seen that there are at least ten children squeezed inside, all of whom are not very old, and the oldest will not exceed ten years old. Although the clothes they wear are worn out, they are absolutely clean. There is no stain at all, and compared with the harsh surrounding environment, the contrast is simply too great.

As if seeing the curiosity in Ling Tao's heart, Liang Ping pointed in that direction and said, "They are all poor children. Originally, there were only two or three children here, and they survived from the original orphanage in Xihe City. Gradually, many The poor children without a home gathered in this small place, and now there are thirteen children in total.”

"Why are they so clean"?Ling Tao asked what he most wanted to know.

"What's so strange about this? In Xihe City, whether it's ordinary people or the management, who doesn't know the importance of hygiene? You don't have to eat food, but hygiene must be thorough. For this, everyone will get free Daily necessities such as washing powder, soap, and soap are subject to surprise inspections from time to time every day. Anyone who does not clean well will be shot. Originally, this regulation only existed in real residential areas, but I don’t know why These children have also learned, maybe they are also afraid of death," Liang Ping explained.

After he finished, he continued: "They live here, and many times the hunters who come in and out see them as pitiful, and will give them some food, but more, they still live on the residue of mutant beasts discarded by the slaughterhouse, hey, they are all pitiful People, let’s not talk about this, let’s deal with the prey first, and then I will take you to the living area, where you will know what cleanliness is, even if you sleep on the street, you don’t have to worry about getting dust.”

Well, Ling Tao smiled wryly. It seems that hygiene has been raised to the top priority for people to survive. Everything else has to be sidelined. If you want to survive, you can’t even do a good job of hygiene around your own life. , wanting to live is simply a joke.

However, Ling Tao still felt a little unreal. When was hygiene so important?
