001 Little Red Moon Night(1/2)
AD 2345, Xiahua, Mocheng.
222 years after "Doomsday".
At 7 p.m., Jiang Chen, who had just gotten off work, walked out of the hospital gate and walked to the bus stop.
He is less than 1.7 meters tall, but weighs more than 200 kilograms.
Looking up at the red moon hanging high in the night sky.
Every cell in the body feels extremely happy.
"On the night of the little red moon! I don't know what will happen..."
He said to himself.
An electric bus pulled up to the stop, the door opened, Jiang Chen walked up, took out a coin and put it into the cash box.
"Dr. Jiang, are you off work?"
"It's Lao Wang. It's time to get off work. You have to go home early today."
"Yes, my trip is the last one. On the night of the little red moon, martial law will be enforced again tonight."
Lao Wang's position was surrounded by a metal cage, with no fingers even able to fit through the gap.
This is a mandatory configuration for all public transportation in Xiahua.
Jiang Chen looked at the car and saw that there were more than ten passengers.
Sitting very spread out.
They were all rushing home before martial law came into effect at 8 o'clock.
Jiang Chen sat down on the seat behind the driver, Lao Wang.
"Dr. Jiang, the Chinese medicine you prescribed for me last time was very effective."
"After two days of taking it, my whole body became much more relaxed."
"As long as it works, come back to me after eating."
Jiang Chen said while looking out the window.
"Dr. Jiang, you are a doctor yourself, why don't you lose weight?"
"Oh, this is a family inheritance. It's in my genes. There's nothing I can do about it."
He replied politely, saying that keeping a low profile was the prerequisite for him to live for hundreds of years.
There are very few pedestrians on the road.
Almost all of them were walking quickly and in a hurry.
But there are a lot of police.
There are also military police at some intersections.
Some of the passengers in the car were also talking.
"Have you heard? It seems like something big happened in Siam in the past few days."
"What's up?"
"A village on the border was attacked by zombies. There was not a single living person left, and the village was wiped out."
"No way, the news didn't say anything about it?"
"I have a relative who goes there regularly to do business. When he got there, he was detained by the military for two days before being released."
"We are at the border here, will everything be okay?"
Panic quickly spread in the carriage.
"What are you afraid of? Our Mo City has a three-ring city wall, the lowest is fifty meters high."
"That's true. I haven't heard of any history of attacks."
…
Jiang Chen frowned, he hadn't heard about this yet.
Mocheng is a small and medium-sized city on the border.
It has connections with Siam, Khmer and Laos.
Not only in Xiahua Kingdom, but also in the whole world, there are almost no people living outside the cities.
This kind of village attacked by zombies has no high walls to protect it.
Once attacked, there is almost no hope of survival.
And these people are the lowest level people in the local area.
I can't even enter the city.
This type of people exists all over the world, and they have a unified name: "Scavengers."
They picked up useful items in the ruined cities after each "Doomsday" and sold them to make a living.
But they are not qualified to enter the city.
Their life and death have nothing to do with the people in the city.
Over time, they also became a kind of existence.
Jiang Chen has connections with some "scavengers".
Jiang Chen is a doctor, and one of the few traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in this era.
In this era, there are two types of people who are the most sought after and have the highest social status.
The first one is legal, doctors. For people in the last days, prolonging life is everyone’s pursuit.
The second type is illegal, blood dealers.
Both types of people can help people extend their lives, but in different ways.
The reason is that the average age of human beings today is less than sixty years old.
A person who is over sixty is considered a senior citizen.
Centenarians are already a legend hundreds of years ago.
Chinese medicine requires Chinese medicine.
The best quality Chinese medicinal materials are collected from "scavengers".
These wild Chinese medicinal materials are much more effective than those grown by farmers in the "Medicine City".
There are most villages along the border where these "scavengers" gather.
Jiang Chen hoped that the village where the accident occurred was not the one he knew.
The reason why we chose this small city on the border is because it is located on the southwest border of Xiahua.
The Chinese medicine produced here is of the highest quality.
The Amazon forest and the original forests here are the only two original forests on the earth that have been least affected by the "Doomsday".
Suddenly a bright light enveloped the bus.
"squeak!"
The screeching sound of the brakes sounded, and many people in the car suddenly hit the back of the seats in front of them.
"Damn, what are you doing?"
"Why did the driver drive you? I have a nosebleed."
"My head is broken..."
Passengers cursed.
Everyone was good at covering their eyes with their hands, otherwise they would be blinded by the bright light.
The car door opened automatically and I heard someone getting into the car, more than one.
"Are you Jiang Chen?"
"I am."
Jiang Chen squinted his eyes.
He actually saw it clearly.
The action of blocking my eyes is just because I don't want to be too conspicuous.
"What's the citizen ID?"
Jiang Chen was very cooperative in reporting his citizen ID.
"Dr. Jiang, please come with us."
After saying that, he was picked up by two people and got out of the car.
