Chapter 805

The gathering place of living survivors in Romani, as Andy said, is located in a deep mountain and old forest.

There was no road here, but Andy could find a way from the forest.

The lush forest here has played a role in blocking the sight of vampires flying in the sky. In addition, it is rare for vampires to patrol here.

The car went deeper and deeper in the forest. At last, the surrounding sunshine was covered by dense tree crowns, making the surrounding light dark.

Zhang Yi took a look at these dense tree crowns.

Although the dense canopy can block the sight of vampires in the sky, it can also block the sun, making the dark place a gathering place for vampires.

Such a terrain has advantages and disadvantages. It depends on how the people inside will choose.

The car continued to drive for a while, and suddenly several armed men with guns jumped out in front of it.

These armed men are human beings. They seem to have been ambushed here, or they themselves are patrolling here.

Andy seemed to know these armed men. He stopped the car and shouted at them:

"As usual, I'm here to buy gasoline!"

An armed man said:

"Andy, we told you long ago that if you are willing to trade Jenny, we are willing to provide you with a year's gasoline for free... Eh, there is a more beautiful beauty in your car today! I've never seen it before! It's beautiful... Andy, if you exchange her, we'll provide you with free gasoline for life! "

Monica could not help frowning when she heard this, and her beautiful face showed displeasure.

When she heard that these people actually exchanged women as commodities, she was eager to slap them in the face.

Andy doesn't want to tangle with them on this topic at all. He opens his mouth and says:

"Open the door quickly. I have to go to the next safe stronghold before dark."

These armed men did not continue to say more.

One of the armed men took out a remote control and pressed it against a small hillside in the distance.

I saw two iron doors slowly opened on the hillside. The two iron doors were covered with a layer of vegetation. Obviously, they were carefully camouflaged, so that if others didn't carefully identify them, they couldn't see that there were two doors hidden here.

After the big iron door opened, a concrete road for vehicles to enter was exposed.

Andy stepped on the gas and drove the car into the iron gate.

Entering the door, the road leads to the underground. Obviously, people hide underground to avoid the smell and sound being detected by vampires.

It can be seen that such underground fortifications have been built for a long time. It is not difficult to guess that these may be underground fortifications left during the war. Now they have been modified by people and become the gathering point of human survivors.

After the car went underground, a parking lot appeared.

Andy parked the car in the parking lot and said:

"I'm going to buy gasoline. Do you want to go together or wait for me in the car?"

Jenny naturally wants to be with Andy. Monica wants to see it out of curiosity. Zhang Yi naturally doesn't matter. You can go and stay.

So the party got out of the car and walked towards the depths of the underground parking lot.

After walking out of the underground parking lot, what appears in front of everyone can be called an underground city.

Walking along the main corridor, there are houses on both sides.

Some houses are inhabited by people, and some houses are used as shops. At the intersection of the corridor, it became a small square, where many people gathered to listen to people.

The light of this underground city is very dim, and most of it depends on the lights brought by generators.

It can be roughly judged from the sound of water reverberating around the underground city. There is an underground river underground. The underground city depends on Hydropower to generate electricity.

However, people in the dungeons turn pale one by one, mostly because they have been hiding underground for a long time and their nutrition is not good.

Andy explained to Zhang Yi and Monica that there are at least hundreds of living people hiding here, which can be regarded as the largest known gathering place of living people found in Romani.

However, there is a shortage of materials here. Banknotes and paper money have long been useless. People live and trade by exchanging things for things.

Everything here has its value. Even if you take one person, you can exchange a large number of materials.

Since normal production cannot be carried out here, most of the materials needed here need to be collected in the wild or in cities and towns at the risk of people's lives. This has also become the work that people living here need to do every day.

Once anyone doesn't dare to return to this underground base before dark, he will never come back.

If you don't want to go out looking for supplies, you can't live here by begging, because most of the people here can't eat enough. In the end, those who don't want to work can only starve to death.

In this deficient environment, being able to live is an extravagant hope in itself.

After Andy and others came here, many people immediately gathered around. They all wanted to exchange their supplies with Andy for food.

Here, food is the most precious material.

Andy drives the people away rudely and goes straight to the place where there is gasoline exchange.

Soon, when several people exchanged gasoline and were about to leave, a burst of noise suddenly came.

It turned out that at the intersection, a large number of civilians had gathered here.

A woman was nailed to a cross, and a lot of firewood was piled under the cross.

The civilians around shouted angrily at the women:

"Burn her! Burn this vampire! Burn her! "

"She betrayed our companion! She's a vampire sneaking into us! "

"You can't let her live! If she lives, we can't live! "

……

In the wanton shouting of people, a crazy mood is gradually spreading.

The woman who was crucified screamed wildly and begged for mercy from the people around her in fear. However, no one paid attention to her begging for mercy.

Seeing this, Monica couldn't help asking:

"Is that woman really a vampire?"

Zhang Yi shook his head and said no.

There is no smell of vampire in this woman.

Andy even said:

"If it's really a vampire, how can it be so easy to be crucified by these people? If it were true, vampires would have escaped from the four nails nailed to their limbs! "

Monica said in surprise:

"Then why did they say she was a vampire and burn her?"

Andy replied:

"It's just a carnival caused by excessive fear. They need such Carnival to vent their fear and great pressure. And that woman was unfortunately chosen as a victim. "

Monica's big blue eyes were full of confusion.

Andy then continued to explain:

"Have you ever heard of the witch hunt? The Medieval Western world can be said to be one of the darkest times in human history. It is full of bloody killing between people, especially men's killing of women. During this period, an activity called "witch hunting" took place, and about 200000 "Witches" were killed in various ways. However, according to the investigation of our demon hunter guild at that time, there were only about 200 real Witches among the 200000 killed witches. The rest are all innocent women who were tortured and finally brutally killed! "

Monica has heard of this history.

This dark and bloody history once made her very uncomfortable.

Andy continues:

"At that time, the western world in the Middle Ages was shrouded in the black death. The black death was rampant in the western world, killing countless people, and the whole society fell into panic. But the source of the disease is still rampant. People still don't realize the source of the disease, so they attribute everything to the witch. Under the fear of the black death, people began to catch some innocent women madly, slander them as witches, and then kill them! In this way, more than 200000 innocent women were killed! Now, the same is true in Romani. People are overwhelmed by the fear of vampires and are easy to go to extremes. Once the fire of evil in the human body is lit, it will spread out and get out of control. "

Jenny also said:

"That's why we don't like coming to the dungeon. Even if we do, we won't stay long. It's very depressing here. What makes people depressed is not only because it's underground, but also the people here. "

Monica couldn't help losing her mind when she heard this.

Even Zhang Yi was lost in thought.

Human nature, good and evil.

In an orderly and stable environment, the good side of human nature is easy to be inspired.

Once in a chaotic environment, the evil side of human nature will continue to emerge.

In this world, both good and bad people are always very few, and most people are just ordinary people.

When good people have the upper hand, these ordinary people can be transformed into good people. And when the bad guys get the upper hand, these ordinary people can easily turn into the bad guys.

The transformation between good and evil can be determined by the general trend, or only between the front lines.

All this is like the two instruments of Tai Chi. Yin and yang are interdependent and integrated, and can also be transformed into each other.

When Zhang Yi thought about this, he only felt that his perception of breaking through the opportunity had taken a step further.

At this time, I saw that someone had come to the cross with a torch, and the onlookers were very excited at this time.

Obviously, they are ready to burn the woman.

Andy shook his head and said:

"Come on, it's none of our business. If you want to continue buying gasoline here, you can't break the rules here. If we meddle in their business, they will treat us as enemies in the future. "

It's not the first time Andy has seen such a thing, but he knows he can't handle it.

Because he can't even control his own life and death. Maybe one day he will die outside and under the vampire's fangs. And he can't care about the life and death of others.

Jenny's eyes were full of pity, but she thought the same as Andy.

However, there are people and their ideas to the left.

Monica's eyes were firm and she walked towards the cross:

"No! I'm going to save that woman! "

As a glorious knight, her chivalry makes it impossible for her to die for that innocent woman, and it makes her unbearable to see someone being subjected to such cruel punishment.

As for the consequences, Monica never considered.

She knows that the more she thinks about it, the more forward-looking she is. As a knight, she should forge ahead bravely and break through all obstacles!
