Chapter 170: The Situation in Cannes

"It's probably worse than you think."

Qin Changyi lit a cigarette, took a light puff and spit it out, then took another deep breath before shaking his head and saying.

Seeing this, Yichen just listened quietly and looked at Qin Changyi, knowing that the other party would continue talking.

"The earthquake happened that day at about eight or nine o'clock in the evening. After the earthquake, all the high-rise buildings in Cannes collapsed.

Those of us who had awakened our powers fainted not long after we ran out that day.

The next day we wanted to notify the higher authorities, but found that all communications had been cut off.

A professor at the University of Connecticut said that it might have been a solar storm or something that blew up all the electromagnetic communication equipment, rendering mobile phones useless.

I wanted to go to my superiors to make decisions, but the secretary, mayor, and director were receiving representatives from large companies from the south that night to discuss investment and development.

As a result, when the earthquake came, everyone died, and my damn deputy director who was just promoted became the largest remaining official in Kangcheng.

Our Cannes is not a war-ready city, and there are no troops stationed around it. We only have a few people in our police system.

However, people still have to be saved from natural disasters, and there are only a thousand people in the police system.

Fortunately, the masses could be mobilized to save themselves, and many people had awakened their powers. In about ten days, everything that could be dug was dug out.

There were originally more than 3 million people in Kangcheng, but not even one-third of those who survived in the end were only over 800,000 people according to reports.

In the nearest villages and towns, all the living people came to Cannes with their families and families.

Originally, I wanted to walk along the road and find other cities, but the wild animals have also evolved, and each one is much larger than before.

Some are smart and know to take a detour when they see people, but some are brave and come to pick up corpses to eat at night when we are rescuing them.

But it was such a hot day that the body would stink if left there for a few days. The environment was difficult at this time, so we had to keep everything simple and cremate them collectively.

I explored the path outside for a while, but the further I went, the more dangerous it became. Those evolved creatures have various powers. If they make a sudden attack, someone will suffer.

We carry guns and have killed several police officers.

So I can only put this matter aside for the time being and stabilize the internal situation first.

These days, everyone is trying their best to dig out old supermarkets, grain and oil stores, warehouses, etc. to ensure food problems.

But under the ruins, there will be animals such as rats and cockroaches, which destroy a lot of food.

In fact, if everyone works together, there will be no food crisis in the short term.

But there are advantages and disadvantages to being an evolver.

Without the Evolvers, fewer than 500,000 people might have survived in Cannes.

But for some evolvers, because we can't contact our superiors, Cannes gradually becomes an isolated island.

They have power beyond ordinary people, so ambition breeds.

It would be better if it was just a temporary shelter in the beginning. Everyone digs out the food and gives the most delicious and nutritious food to the evolvers.

These are still acceptable, after all, those who can work harder, and those who work harder, get more, it is a matter of course.

But as time goes by, the situation becomes more and more different. Some evolvers form gangs, and instead of digging for materials in the ruins, they violently drive ordinary people to dig, and they sit back and enjoy the gains.

They only gave a little bit of the food they excavated to ordinary people, so that they could not starve to death or be full.

There are even those who do not regard people as human beings, taking food and throwing it on the ground, letting ordinary people lie on the ground like dogs and eat with their mouths.

In short, they have done all the things that could kill him ten times before. "

Qin Changyi slowly told what happened in Kangcheng during this period.

"Then shoot them. Don't the police stations have guns?"

Yichen said in confusion.

He is still very young and has the simplest hatred for those evil things.

"If it were that simple, I would have done it a long time ago."

Qin Changyi shook his head and said.

"Yichen, you are also an evolver and have superpowers.

During the time you lived in the wild, you probably survived by eating wild animals, right? "

Qin Changyi paused and then asked.

Yichen just nodded.

"Then you should feel that the meat of those evolved creatures with the greatest changes in body shape will be good for us after eating it, right?"

Qin Changyi continued to ask.

Yichen continued to nod.

"We have naturally discovered this, and Professor Liu from the University of Connecticut asked us to catch a few evolved creatures for him to study during the earthquake rescue.

In just a few days, he developed a potion that could accelerate evolution.

That thing is extracted from evolved organisms, and the effect is very good, but it requires a large amount of evolved organisms.

So we issued a bounty to everyone, encouraging everyone to kill evolved creatures and come to us in exchange for supplies.

This can also solve most food shortage problems.

Although evolved creatures are dangerous, it is still easy for ordinary people to use tools and make weapons such as spears and crossbows to kill some less powerful evolved creatures.

Everyone ate the meat that was edible, and the meat that carried too many germs and could easily kill people was exchanged for normal food without risk.

Those more powerful evolvers will also hunt evolved creatures, and those who can't finish eating will be exchanged with us for supplies.

At that time, the disaster had just ended, and the relationship between everyone was relatively simple. With everyone's concerted efforts, we hunted many evolved creatures.

Professor Liu also produced a batch of evolutionary potions. After the evolutionists in our police station took them, their abilities were qualitatively changed and their physical fitness was greatly improved.

Professor Liu said that this should be considered as advancement, and said that those who evolved during the earthquake were called first-order evolutionists, and those who advanced on this basis were second-order evolutionists.

But the remaining evolutionary potions were useless when we took them again. Professor Liu guessed that we had already advanced, and the evolutionary potions extracted from those first-order evolutionary creatures could no longer promote our evolution.

At that time, I was going to sell the remaining evolutionary potions to civilian evolutionists and let them exchange them with the corpses of evolutionary creatures.

But that night, someone incited the masses, saying that we used ordinary people to obtain evolutionary potions, but did not give them to others, and wanted to monopolize the power of evolution and enslave everyone.

It was said that Professor Liu's achievements should be the common wealth of all Cannes people, and everyone had the right to use them.

A large number of people came and surrounded the police station, asking us to hand over the method of making evolutionary potions.

At that time, there were thousands of evolvers and hundreds of thousands of ordinary people, and they seemed to want to eat us.

At that time, our police station had more than 30 second-level evolvers and hundreds of guns. If we had to suppress them, it would have been no problem.

But I knew that once the guns were fired, we had to kill them to the end, and the people's hearts would be scattered. If all the evolvers were killed, there would be no hope..."

Qin Changyi covered his face and said hoarsely.
