51. Doomsday world
The scavengers were bustling and noisy. No one noticed that a group of people were approaching each other.
The stench emanating from the surrounding scavengers made it almost impossible for the members to breathe. Soon they noticed something strange about the scavengers. Some are as thin as skeletons, some are covered with pus, some have maggots in their eye sockets, and stumps and broken arms are even more common. The eyes are lifeless and lifeless.
What's going on with these people......?

A complex set of properties panels.
Joyce's palms clenched repeatedly and then relaxed several times, making sure that the strength was not much different from normal. Then 10 points can be judged as a normal base for an adult.
Joyce switches to the second page board: the dark web.
Dark red lines like cobwebs radiated outward, and blood swirled at every node. The center of the cobweb is the starting point, which is also dangling for the blood.
When Joyce's gaze drops, a prompt appears: Get a black dot to unlock the black net.
There is another small line underneath: Black dots can only be obtained by killing mobs.
Closing the attribute panel, Joyce looked around, the members came around, and Mu Su stood beside Chen Yue, cold as frost and unsmiling. It seems to be really getting serious.
There was a change on the platform, and a man in high-class clothes appeared in the center of the platform.
The hustle and bustle gradually decreased. In the midst of this, the man cried out: "You are the most useless scum of Hale, disgusting pigs, spurned by all who are left to be treated. ”
Mu Su just wanted to praise Hao Paibi, his hands were raised and he was about to clap, and a gaze suddenly stared at him.
Mu Su did not move and put his hand to his chin, as if he was groaning and thinking. After a few seconds, Fang felt his gaze disappear.
"But the great Lord of Hale has decided to give you moths a chance. I, the Captain of Hale, announce! Get out there and look for supplies. Each person must bring back 10 kilograms of rat meat or the equivalent to obtain Dalit status. Or die here. ”
"Three minutes overdue, and if anyone stays here after that, kill!"
The man shouted, and the soldiers on both sides loaded their guns and aimed them at the people below.
In the echo of the guns, the crowd moved and retreated in panic. But no one wants to turn away.
The city guards were clearly impatient or did not see the group as human beings. Ten seconds later, he pulled out his pistol and pulled the trigger at random.
The gunfire confused the crowd, and there was a noticeable commotion in one area. Soon, some well-intentioned people slowly approached that side.
It was fresh, unspoiled meat.
Just then, someone started moving.
It's Joyce.
He squeezed through the people along the way and walked out of the cave.
Half of the members are members, and it was the scavengers who were killed this time, so they may not be so lucky next time.
With Joyce taking the lead, the other members followed. However, in the eyes of the city guards, it was these scavengers who finally got their senses.
Soon, three minutes to arrive. The cave also housed a dozen scavengers who refused to leave.
The city guard looked at the scavengers who were biting and eating around the dead with a look of disgust, took out a white handkerchief from his pocket and covered his mouth and nose, and waved his hand to his subordinates to solve it.
He turned and walked away, gunshots ringing out behind him.
……
Joyce paused slightly, and looked back at the way he had come.
These gunshots ...... At least 10 people didn't leave. What is there out there that scares them so much?
Joyce called Anthony and told him to disperse around in groups of three, looking for someone to talk to and bring with him.
The cave passage narrowed slightly, and the fluorite scattered along the way made it possible to barely see.
In the dreary, more than 60 people formed a sparse queue more than 100 meters long, and many of them hid in the corner, waiting for an opportunity to escape back.
After walking about two hundred meters, Anthony returned with a young man.
His eyes were bright, and he could see at a glance in the lifeless air around him.
Anthony secretly confirmed that he was not a member of the city guard and lured him here.
"I don't seem to have seen you." The young man asked the crowd strangely, faintly with a hint of vigilance. "You're also mixed up with ghouls and want to leave?"
One of his palms was tucked into his sleeve, guarding against something.
Ghoul?
The noun made the surrounding members look at each other.
"In fact...... We are outsiders. Joyce put on a smile that made her smile. For some inexplicable reason, we were exiled to Hale and captured as scavengers. ”
"You are the ...... outside," the young man was about to shout, when he suddenly remembered his surroundings, covered his mouth, and asked in a low and quick voice, "Where are you from?" Is it safe there? Are the other gathering places really as dangerous and terrifying as those nobles say? Will it be like us, where most of the poor and civilians will go hungry? ”
After a series of questions, he looked apologetic: "I'm sorry I have too many questions......"
"Nothing." Joyce didn't mind. "There...... Some are dangerous, but the gathering point is safe and the food is relatively adequate. ”
"I guess so." The young man noticed that although they were dirty, they were not malnourished and emaciated, and looked envious.
He is 18 years old. Chronic malnutrition has left him thin and small. Both muscles and growth need energy, and unfortunately, he can't get enough to eat.
"Can you take me back?" He asked, expectantly.
It has been three years since the end of the world, and the rules of humanity have been blurred wirelessly. Young people should not be able to trust others easily, or even let down their guard.
The current situation probably has something to do with the fact that their full stat is 10. At this time, it may be difficult for the surviving humans to find someone with 10 points of charisma.
"We don't plan to go back just yet." Joyce replied to him.
"Is that so......" The young man was visibly disappointed, and then asked, "Then can you tell me the location, I know it's presumptuous...... I promise I won't tell anyone! ”
"Yes, but before we do, we'd like you to tell us a little bit about Hale City."
The young man's face was happy: "What do you want to know?" ”
"All."
