Rise of the Wasteland

Chapter 571: Wizard

The sudden fierce battle overnight, although the loss was not small, it also preserved the Niu Majit outpost that should have been destroyed. Looking at the collected three or four hundred irradiated cockroaches, as well as the hideous corpses of 'mutants', the survivors were horrified but also very lucky—if it wasn't for the sudden arrival of the Baltimore Action Team, the people in the stronghold Everyone is dead.

"It is said that this team is from the south."

"I listened to their internal communication, and they kept mentioning 'Legion' or something."

"Don't you think it's strange? Our new leader is Asian, but his subordinates are all white and black, which is unusual."

"Could it be the Aurora Legion from the south? But what are they doing here for thousands of kilometers?"

With the victory in the battle and enough food and drink, people in the stronghold immediately became stable, but the reorganized residents inevitably had various speculations in private. Since Zhou Qingfeng didn't directly reveal his identity at all, this further deepened his mystery.

The soldiers and residents in the stronghold were organized to do some simple work, at least to improve the sanitation situation. A tidy and clean environment can greatly improve the quality of life. Among the crowd, Niya is one of the organized ones. As a woman, she used to work as a prostitute in the stronghold for a living.

But in fact, due to the lack of food and supplies, the men in the stronghold are not in the mood to expend energy on women. Before Zhou Qingfeng and others appeared, Niya had been unable to find customers for two consecutive weeks. She once thought that she would starve to death in a corner of the stronghold that day.

"Hey, your name is Niya, right?" A soldier of the action team appeared suddenly. He looked at a section of road that Niya was responsible for clearing. "You're working hard, and you did a good job."

"Yes, sir. I must work very hard." Niya shrugged her shoulders and lowered her head, subconsciously looking like a weak person. She actually wanted to show her enthusiasm, because it was these people who were armed to the teeth that gave her a new life, but she was actually very afraid of these burly soldiers.

Those who wield force are terrifying. This is the biggest experience and lesson that Niya has learned from the end of the past year. She has been insulted, cursed, beaten, and raped more times than anyone can remember, and the perpetrators all have one thing in common—mostly men with weapons.

Even though the action team gave Niya food and clothes, she still didn't dare to get close to these people casually. She was even prepared for a spanking, or some bullying, all the time. In the past, when the men in the stronghold were bored, bored, bored, desperate, or had no reason at all just to have some fun, they would take out their anger on women.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to trouble you." The soldier of the action team held a small personal computer in his hand, which contained the preliminary registration information of the personnel in the stronghold, "You told our people before that you are from Baltimore Man, you should be very familiar with the city?"

"Yes, I just escaped from the city." Niya replied honestly.

"Are you familiar with Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore?" the soldier asked again.

"I used to be a student of some business school, so I should be familiar with it."

"Business school students? Very good. Are you familiar with the school's medical school?"

...

The soldiers asked many questions, and Niya answered them all. In the end, she was told that she would be a person in need of care in the future and would receive some preferential treatment.

Niya is not very clear about preferential treatment. Before the cataclysm, if a man told her dirty jokes, he could report sexual harassment as a warning, but now she only hopes that she will be beaten less. Instead, residents from other strongholds came to inquire about the news and make inquiries.

"Niya, what are those soldiers looking for you for?"

"I don't know, they just came to me and asked some questions and said I could get some care."

"Ah..., then you are in luck. Our new leader seems very kind and generous. I heard that some people in the stronghold have been singled out, and the treatment in all aspects is much better than in the past. Some people even said that they were selected People can get out of this ghost place by plane.

"

Get out of this damn place?

Niya has thought about leaving countless times, but where can she go after leaving? It's not that no one left the stronghold, but after leaving, they might not be able to live a safe and stable life, and they might even encounter misfortune on the way out. After a long time, everyone resigned to their fate.

After the cleaning work in the morning was over, Niya followed the crowd to collect lunch. She was a little looking forward to it, thinking that if she was taken care of, could she get an extra portion of food? Suffering from malnutrition for several months, eating more food is her biggest luxury.

But lunch is just plain cereal porridge, with some minced meat added to it, and each person is given a pill, which is said to be for vitamin supplements or something. This made Niya a little disappointed, when she quickly comforted herself: "Be content, this is much better than before."

Just when Niya was about to leave with the tray, the soldier in charge of sharing the meal suddenly shouted, "Wait, you shouldn't be eating with us."

The cold and irresistible words made Niya jump. She immediately put down the plate with food obediently, and said weakly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll leave right away."

The residents who received the food were also puzzled, but no one spoke, they just looked at Niya with pitiful eyes. In their opinion, this woman must have done something wrong, or offended someone, so she was forbidden to eat.

But before Niya left, the food-distributing soldier waved the spoon in his hand, pointed to another nearby room, and said coldly, "Your clothes are marked with preferential treatment. You should go to the small restaurant to eat."

Ah..., Niya looked at the small yellow cloth strip tied to her clothes, which was given to her by the soldier who had questioned her earlier. She hadn't expected it to be a status symbol.

The pity eyes around him immediately turned hot, even jealous. Because just by smelling the smell in the air, you know that there should be more hearty food in the nearby small restaurant.

"Thank you, thank you." Niya hurriedly thanked her. She was extremely uncomfortable being looked at by the surrounding eyes, but she felt a little joy in her heart. She thought to herself: So my status has really improved? Just because of some questioning, I can get better treatment?

Walking into the small restaurant, there are much fewer people here. But when Niya reported his name, the person in charge here even took the initiative to ask: "What do you want to eat? We now serve bacon and eggs, bread and macaroni are open to eat, and some creamy vegetable soup. Our supply It is still very sufficient, you are an A-level preferential treatment personnel, and we will try our best to meet your requirements."

In the past few months, Niya couldn't even think about such treatment. Niya even felt that she was dreaming? She carefully ordered some vegetable soup and macaroni first, and then ordered eggs and bacon. After she was full, she had a cup of condensed milk. The sweet feeling was really full of happiness.

And then Niya realized that she didn't need to work anymore. She was asked to rest more, or recall the situation in Baltimore City and Johns Hopkins University as much as possible, and people kept coming to her to ask and record various details.

Until three days later, someone came to her and said, "Miss Niya, we need to go out to carry out an armed reconnaissance operation. I hope you will be our guide."
