Chapter 349 Ocean View Pavilion
After entering the city, Qin An obediently followed Liu Ru. Then, he walked along a road with everyone. As he walked, Qin An listened to the conversation between Liu Ru and Wang Han. At the same time, he had a preliminary understanding of the city through what he saw and the gathering of the conversations of the surrounding poor people through his super-hearing.
The city lord of Ruyan was Wang Han, and the vice city lord was called Deng Bo. Wang Han was also the only mutant in Ruyan City.
The city was a city of 50,000 people, divided into east and west regions.
Dongcheng is an aboriginal area. Before the apocalypse, it was originally a seaside resort with many villas and residential buildings.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, the manager of the resort, Wang Khan's father, spent a lot of money on building materials and huge walls from nearby cities.
As Liu Ruyan's personal bodyguard, Wang Han protected Liu Ruyan and her daughter all the way to the Doomsday Land. Originally, she wanted to go home, but when she was close to Forgotten Worry City, Liu Ruyan was captured by the Material Search Team of Forgotten Worry City.
Wang Han was injured in order to save Liu Ruyan and fell into the Gutian River. In the end, he was bitten several times by the zombie and awakened into a mutant.
After many trials and tribulations, he took in some survivors as his subordinates, then returned to his home, took over the city from his father, and continued to build it. Afterwards, he officially named it Ruyan City.
Then in the resort on the east side of the city, people from Wang Han and Deng Bo lived there.
Dumbo opened a food distribution company before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, he had large quantities of food and crop seeds in his hands.
At the same time, he also had his own team of several thousand people. Some of them were the bosses and family members of some food companies, while the other part was the bodyguards hired by these people.
After he brought these people to Wang Han, he naturally became the deputy city lord because he had a large amount of resources.
The west of Smoke City was a slum.
The people who lived here were all newcomers, and they used to live in other gathering places in the Doomsday Land.
However, because of the existence of Wanguo City, their gathering places eventually fell one by one. After the people escaped, they fled into Ruyan City.
In the resort in the east of Smoke City, there were no extra houses for them to live in. They could only set up tents with cloth, plastic sheets, and wooden sticks on the large open space in the west of the city. They formed shantytowns and then became poor people.
These people didn't bring much food with them when they entered the city, so they had to rely on the help of the aborigines to survive.
Wang Han was considered to be a Virgin Mother. He had a compassionate heart and could not bear to see the poor starve to death. Therefore, he tried his best to distribute the resources from the east to the west of the city.
However, although Deputy City Lord Deng Bo supported Wang Han's actions, many people in the Eastern City were unwilling to give their belongings to others. However, they did not dare to go against the opinions of the two City Lords, but they were dissatisfied in their hearts.
The people on the west side of the city were also unhappy, because the ratio of people on the east side of the city to those on the west side was 2 to 3.
In other words, there were only twenty thousand aborigines, but they lived in spacious resorts.
There were 30,000 outsiders who lived in open shantytowns outside the resort.
This was a discordant factor, and Wang Khan's ruling methods were too benevolent. This caused the discontent in the west of the city to become even more intense.
In order to reconcile this conflict, Wang Khan moved his office space from the east to the west of the city. The purpose was to solve this problem and strengthen the control of the various forces in the east of the city.
This was also the reason why Wang Han had rushed over to welcome Liu Ru and Qin An when they had just arrived at the Smoke City Gate.
At this moment, Wang Han's face was full of smiles. It was obvious that Liu Ru's arrival made him very happy.
"Sigh, the building materials are basically used to build the city wall, there is no way to build more houses in the west of the city. The aborigines in the east of the city were extremely resistant to outsiders in the west of the city! One had to know that their lives after the apocalypse were relatively stable. Some people had never even seen zombies before. Therefore, they didn't trust outsiders from the west of the city! It was really hard for them to live together! Liu Ru, I'm sick of it. You must help me this time! "
Wang Han and Liu Ru complained of their bitterness.
Liu Ru smiled politely and said, "Wang Han, we should be considered friends now. Back then, I really thanked you for protecting us! But I'm just a woman, so how can I help you? I also want to thank you for providing me with a place to stay. No matter what, I feel like I really owe you a lot!"
When Wang Han heard Liu Ru say this, the smile on his face became a little awkward. He opened his mouth a few times as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.
Qin An could tell that Wang Han liked Liu Ru very much, but Liu Ru's attitude was polite. In this kind of courtesy, she had already rejected Wang Han outside the door.
Qin An was not interested in what happened between them. He was more concerned about whether Nurse Rong and Li Na had come to Ruyan City.
Therefore, he said, "Sister Liu, I still have two friends, a girl and an old granny. We were separated on the way to Ruyan City. I wonder if they came here or not!"
Hearing this, Liu Ru's gaze fell on Wang Han.
Wang Han glanced at Qin An and then said to Liu Ru, "You know, we've been in seclusion for a long time. Without the introduction of the city's elders, outsiders are not allowed to enter. How about this, what are the names of the two? I'll tell the guards later that if they come, I'll ask the guards to bring them into the city."
Qin An hurriedly said, "The little girl is called Li Na, and the old woman is called Sun Rong!"
Wang Han nodded and looked at Qin An curiously. Finally, he couldn't help but ask Liu Ru, "Liu Ru, who is this boy?"
Liu Ru thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's my younger brother. Just call him Little An!"
"Little brother?"
Wang Han was puzzled. Why didn't he know that Liu Ru had such a young brother? One had to know that Liu Ru was already thirty-eight years old this year, even though she looked like a young girl in her twenties.
Thinking of this matter, Wang Han's mood became depressed. He realized that the gap between him and Liu Ru was really getting bigger and bigger!
At this time, a Land Rover came over from the road and stopped beside them.
Wang Han put away his worries and said to Liu Ru with a smile, "As usual, you should go live in the Ocean View Pavilion. I have a meeting later. I'll come over to talk to you at night, and I'll ask the driver, Xiao Wang, to send you there! The west of the city is a little chaotic, so you'd better not stay here! The guards in the Ocean View Pavilion haven't evacuated yet, so I'll let them stay there to help you take care of your house if you!"
Liu Ru nodded and thanked Wang Han. Then, she took Qin An to the car.
Qin An said to Liu Ru in the car, "It's still the city lord who is rich! I didn't expect that I would be able to get on such a high-class car after nearly two years of apocalypse!"
Liu Ru smiled faintly and said, "Because at the beginning of the apocalypse, very few people were infected with the T virus!" As for Wang Han's father, he was an apocalyptic. When the first zombie appeared, he immediately began to build the city wall and store food! Haha, at that time, many people didn't understand what he was doing, but now, the people living here really have to thank him! It was precisely because of his foresight that the infrastructure here was well protected. Many things could be used! "
As Liu Ru spoke, the car had already started, leaving the west of the city and heading east.
Along the way, Qin An looked at the scenery on the roadside, and the so-called scenery was filled with shanty houses and dense crowds.
Qin An's heart inadvertently flew out of the window. He remembered the unlucky little girl, Liu Xia!
She should be in this smoky city, right? I wonder what she's doing right now? After separating for so long, did she miss him?
The car left the shantytown and entered the east of the city.
The scenery here became much better. There were neat villas, clean high-rise buildings, cement floors on the road, zebra crossings, people walking leisurely on the road, occasionally they could see some cars running on the streets, as if this was a city before the end of the world.
Qin An felt that his mind was in a trance. It turned out that even in the apocalypse, there were people who could live so comfortably!
After leaving the resort area and continuing eastward, they soon entered the beach area.
This place is a place for leisure. There are concrete independent basketball courts, tennis courts, volleyball courts, etc. on the beach.
The car followed a stone road built on the beach until it stopped under the walls of Smoke City.
Xiao Wang turned to Liu Ru, who was sitting in the back seat, and said, "Madam, get out of the car! I'll go and shake the lift for you!"
Liu Ru helplessly nodded her head. In Ruyan City, anyone who came into contact with her would address her as Madam. This was all because of Wang Han, so Liu Ru had no choice.
She could only take Qin An out of the car and walk towards the corner of the city wall.
The so-called corner of the city wall was the junction of the east wall and south wall of Smoke City. There was a building similar to an elevator that led straight to the 50-meter-tall wall.
This should be what the driver, Xiao Wang, called a lift.
Qin An followed Liu Ru into the wooden box that looked like an elevator. Xiao Wang, the driver, closed the barbed wire fence tightly outside the door and then went to the other side to shake a spiral armrest.
Under the force of the pulley, the wooden frame began to rise up to the top of the wall.
An old woman opened the outer door of the lift and said, "Miss Liu, you're back!"
Liu Ru nodded politely to the old woman, then took Qin An out of the elevator room.
Qin An was surprised to discover that this was actually a three-story building built on the inner and outer walls of Ruyan City.
Around the building, there was a three-meter-wide cement platform, and outside the platform was a two-meter-tall iron fence parapet.
More than a dozen men were on patrol with guns in their hands. When they saw Liu Ru, they hurriedly bowed and called her madam.
Qin An was a little dumbfounded. After greeting them, Liu Ru said to Qin An, "How about Little An? What do you think of this place?"
As she spoke, she led Qin An around the three-meter platform.
When they reached the north side of the pavilion, Qin An could see the two parallel tall walls and a deep ditch between the two walls that were thirty meters away!
Liu Ru said, "I once told Wang Han that it would be very comfortable to live in a tall building facing the sea." Wang Han was also a thoughtful person. When he was building the city wall, he used the corridor at the top of the inner and outer walls as the foundation and built this three-storey pavilion. It was called the Ocean View Pavilion. Follow me! "
After saying that, Liu Ru continued to walk along the three-meter platform. There was a two-meter high metal fence at the outermost part of the platform. Qin An supported the metal fence and looked down. The seawater introduced by the ring wall was 70 meters below. If someone who was afraid of heights stood here and took a look, their legs would probably tremble!
He continued to walk forward and arrived at the east platform of the pavilion. Qin An looked up and was shocked to discover that a dozen meters away from the east wall was the sea!
