Doomsday courtyard begins to survive by planting pea shooters

Chapter 231 Diary x Riot

Originally, Xiao Jian was just strolling around to eat, but then he heard the crying at the edge of the fog, so he wandered over.

At first, he thought some stray people had joined in...

After all, the experiences of these individual people were indeed extremely tragic, and they supported each other through the most dangerous moments.

If they had been in such a high-pressure state, maybe they could continue to persevere, but after being merged into Fortress Town, no matter how strong these individuals were, they would often vent the pressure they had accumulated in the past.

Generally speaking, this way of venting stress is for everyone, regardless of gender or age, to hug each other and cry.

As for what happens next?

Those small groups of more than a dozen people are okay. If it is an ultra-small world fragment with only a few people, then these people will either form an extremely strong family.

It doesn't have to be a family between men and women, but the kind of half-brothers and half-sisters.

Or, they might simply stop having contact with each other.

It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to help each other.

Everyone gathered together to cry bitterly, and then happily welcomed the new baby.

The above is the main tone.

Xiao Jian originally thought it would be the same this time, but when he separated from everyone and came to the place where the cries were gathering the most, he didn't find any survivors...

In the fragment of the world that had just been merged into Fortress Town, there was a small zombie, probably only five or six years old.

Next to the zombie, there was a complete skeleton lying.

Judging from the body shape and pelvis, it should have been a female.

Scattered next to the female skeleton are some thicker male bones with obvious signs of being eaten.

After seeing this scene, Xiao Jian vaguely sketched out farces and intrigues in his mind...

However, things were not as complicated as he thought, because there was a diary next to the female skeleton.

A petite lady was holding the diary and reading it to others.

Whenever I read about some important decisions, the people watching will burst into tears.

The story is simple.

In a family at the end of the world, the father killed himself in despair and used his body to continue the hope of the mother and daughter.

Then there's the mother.

Finally, at the end of the diary, the mother asked in a very calm tone that if someone discovered them, they must not kill her daughter, but must save her daughter.

But the problem is...their daughter has long since turned into a zombie, and it is also a highly infectious zombie.

Xiao Jian took a special look at the attributes of this zombie. The attack, defense, and blood were only 0, 0, and 2 respectively. However, this little zombie had a very special characteristic in its attribute column:

[Mother] is an excellent breeding ground for zombie viruses. The concentration of viruses in body fluids increases by 1000%, and the probability of infection after contact with body fluids increases by 500%.

Xiao Jian silently looked at the little girl who was fixed in place by the iron chain.

She is weak, but her eyes are sharp, and she even dares to look directly at Xiao Jian, and when Xiao Jian checks her monster card, she will make a threatening whine.

Apparently, the couple's sacrifice only came in exchange for a huge risk.

"...She is so young, how could she be in danger!"

"But she's infected!"

"I know, but aren't we all safe now? Why can't we take this opportunity to study and see if we can cure her?"

"..."

Next to Xiao Jian, the chatter in the crowd became louder and louder.

Maybe it's because of the mother's last wish, maybe it's because the zombie girl's small appearance is very deceiving.

But whatever the reason, public sympathy is developing towards overflowing...

This is not a good sign.

Xiao Jian frowned slightly and looked back around.

As a result, there were only some staff here, and neither Zhang Weidong nor Zhang Jinyu was nearby.

It's fair to think that the remnants of this world fragment being merged into the fortress town happen dozens of times a day. If the person in charge stays here all the time, there won't be anything else to do.

After making sure that there was no one else around who could take care of things, Xiao Jian sighed, and then said:

"The concentration of the zombie virus in her body is 10 times that of ordinary zombies. She can easily be infected if she stands too close."

Xiao Jian didn't read out all the characteristics of the [Matrix]. After all, all he wanted was the result... Sometimes saying it was too complicated could cause communication barriers, so just tell them the consequences.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the crowd that was getting closer and closer dispersed with a "hurrah".

"Who are you?" Among them, the lady who read out the diary looked at Xiao Jian with an unfriendly expression.

Xiao Jian had seen her before. If he guessed correctly, she should be a new immigrant.

After all, there were only a few people in Fortress Town originally? As more and more world fragments are merged, the population here gradually becomes more complex.

"A kind-hearted passerby." Xiao Jian shrugged.

"Then what qualifications do you have...Eh? Why are you dragging me along?" The lady wanted to say something, but was suddenly dragged away by the man next to her.

"Sorry, I just told her...she has a straight temper, don't mind."

The man apologized politely to Xiao Jian, then dragged the woman away, then leaned into her ear and started whispering.

"Don't drag me! I'm going to tell him!"

"I don't care about that, I just want to save the child..."

"God? Are you kidding!? How can there be gods in this world? Get out of my way, I want..."

"..."

However, no matter how hard the lady struggled, the man kept dragging her away from Xiao Jian.

As the series of noises became farther and farther away, Xiao Jian suddenly found that he had become the focus of the audience.

Everyone was looking at him, even the staff were looking at Xiao Jian, as if waiting for his decision.

"What do you think I'm going to do? Go find Zhang Weidong..." Xiao Jian said dumbfounded.

"Yes! Lord God!"

The guard who was seen by Xiao Jian deliberately shouted loudly, then gave a standard salute, then turned and ran away.

And when he shouted, the group of survivors surrounding him immediately exploded.

"What...god!?"

"Is he that one?"

"How come I heard that gods have wings?"

"It must be true. I know the man who ran away just now. He is a 20th-level awakener! He is very powerful! Since he said it, it must be true..."

Level 20, that is, 20 attribute cards have been used?

No wonder his attributes are much higher than others, he turns out to be an elite.

But the problem is...his roar left Xiao Jian standing there, as if he were a rare breed, being watched by this group of new immigrants.

"Master Kami is so handsome!"

"Don't be a nymphomaniac..."

"Why does this god look a little... a little..."

"……ordinary?"

"Yeah!"

"..."

The buzz around them became louder and louder, and the crowd that was originally crying for other people's stories was all distracted by "gods" in the blink of an eye.

It seems that no matter how miserable the story is, as long as it happens to others, it is just a story - just a zombie, how can a "god" be so rare?

If the mother who wrote the diary knew anything about it, I don't know what she would think when she learned that her deeds and sacrifices had quickly lost attention like the story of Mrs. Xianglin.

But at least for Fortress Town, this is a good thing.

After all, once such a group incident occurs, purely rational judgment cannot be used to guide behavior...

Because people can easily empathize with others and ultimately point the finger at the ruling class.

To put it more narrowly, this "ruling class" can refer to Xiao Jian, or to management such as Zhang Weidong and Zhang Jinyu.

Likewise, this "ruling class" could be extended to all warriors in the fortress town.

It would be fine if Xiao Jian and even the soldiers really enjoyed the benefits of the ruling class, but now that the foreign invasion has not been settled, let alone enjoyment, even Xiao Jian only benefited from mutual benefit to Fortress Town... Even what he invested was more than what he got. More to come.

Not to mention those soldiers, they have a lot of benefits but no responsibilities.

After Fortress Town swallowed so many world fragments and populations, it was already in a weak running-in period. At this time, if some differences were not handled well, it would easily cause rifts among the people.

Just when Xiao Jian was getting more and more anxious, Zhang Weidong came.

And he also brought a team of soldiers and scientific researchers wearing full-body protective suits.

"For everyone's safety, please spread out a little bit...just step back about ten meters!"

"Don't worry, everyone, we already know your concerns, so we even brought testing equipment..."

As Zhang Weidong spoke, the two soldiers behind him placed a huge machine on the ground.

Then, the soldiers and researchers skillfully went to take samples from the little zombie.

Seeing that the crowd around him had calmed down and focused his attention on the little zombie girl again, Xiao Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Zhang Weidong and said:

"I'm telling you, you have to be careful not to intensify conflicts..."

"I know, don't worry! It's up to us!"

Zhang Weidong patted his chest, looking confident.

After the group of soldiers wearing protective suits held down the struggling little zombie and took blood samples from it, the researchers got busy.

After the parameters were set and the sample was fed into the machine, the machine on the ground soon emitted a warning beep.

After a short period of research, the leading researcher came out, faced the "audience" that was mostly new immigrants, and took out an electric horn:

"Friends, after our testing, we found that the virus concentration in this little girl is extremely high and highly contagious. It has reached a high-risk level."

"Everyone, look at the indicator light here. This is a detection reading of biological energy. For a corpse, you can simply understand it as a danger index..."

"Everyone, come here and take a look and remember these numbers..."

The researcher continued to communicate with the people around him, and spectators continued to come up to join in the fun.

After some comfort, the researcher directly took out a card.

"Now, I'm going to summon an ordinary zombie for reference. Don't be afraid."

After saying that, the monster card in the researcher's hand turned into a zombie.

"ah--"

"ah--"

"..."

Although the researcher had warned them, the sudden appearance of zombies still shocked everyone.

After all, they are new immigrants. The zombies have disappeared for a long time, but the fear caused by the zombies is difficult to overcome in a short time.

As for why they weren't afraid of the little zombie girl before... maybe it was because of the diary? Maybe that little zombie isn't that bad?

Who knows, after all, we are human beings, and it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of weird double-standard behaviors.

The researcher didn't seem to be surprised. He directly followed the process just now, took samples from the ordinary zombie again, and input them into the instrument.

Sure enough, the number was much smaller.

After seeing the reading, the researcher nodded to the soldier wearing protective clothing next to him.

Then, the soldier pulled out the long knife he carried...

"Buzz——"

I don’t know what function he activated, but the long knife suddenly glowed with golden light! And on the spine of the sword, several golden runes also lit up!

"Poof! Poof!"

The long-sword warrior wearing protective clothing chopped the ordinary zombie to death with two clean cuts, and then calmly sheathed the knife in the white mist formed by the zombies.

Such a clean killing made the scene quiet.

After the show of force, researcher Shi Shiran walked up, pointed at the reading on the instrument and said:

"Do you still remember the number just now? Now come and take a look... One digit is the level that normal zombies should have!"

"Come on, everyone, come and take a look!"

"..."

I don’t know if it was the “show of force” just now that played a role, or if it was the iron-clad facts that awakened everyone’s sanity.

In short, the mood of the new immigrants gradually subsided, and a long line began to "visit" the new readings on the instrument.

After such an intuitive numerical comparison, the vast majority of people present understood the danger of the little zombie, and had no objection to the researcher's suggestion of humane destruction.

After all, they were the ones who let the zombie stay and risk their lives - they didn't think that the Fortress Town soldiers who could kill the zombie with two swords would be in danger.

After making a rational decision, the fate of the little zombie was naturally determined.

Humanely destroyed, then cremated together with her parents' bones, and finally reburied together in the small fragment of the world they had lived in.

Xiao Jian was obviously just a spectator, but due to his status as a "god", he had no choice but to accompany him throughout the whole process.

But fortunately, after this preparation, the public trial in the evening became smoother.

First, there are personal complaints from several women who have been harassed by Bai Mao in the "high-rise world".

They spoke with tears in their eyes about Bai Mao's mental control and atrocities...

In addition, after Zhang Jinyu finally came forward and stated that Bai Mao often made anti-social remarks, used skills in the safe zone without authorization, and attacked law enforcement officers, the plenary meeting also agreed with the judgment of the temporary court.

In the roar of Baimao's incompetence, the temporary court pronounced Baimao guilty and sentenced him to exile, which was to be executed immediately.

Xiao Jian stepped forward, signaled to everyone, picked up the tied white hair and disappeared.
