Chapter 376 Invitation from Shaolin
After the Feicheng zombie army was eliminated, there seemed to be no obstacles to Shangqing Daomen's westward expansion, but in fact it was still very difficult to truly control the territory of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.
Wei Xuan also knew the principle of greed for too much, and the confrontation in the south had never been resolved, so he was not eager to expand outward again. Instead, he accepted Pei Yue's suggestion and concentrated on development and improving the power of Shangqing Dao Sect. Comprehensive strength, while trying to grasp the existing sphere of influence as much as possible.
Feicheng is just the place where the zombie army gathers the most, but that doesn't mean there are no zombies in other places.
Before the disaster, it could be said that there were people everywhere, and they were all human cities. Although the population was not as large as those in big cities, it was still not a minority.
After the global catastrophe, these large and small cities are now occupied by zombies. The only difference is the number of zombies. On the contrary, the surviving humans were forced to flee the urban areas. Now most of them survive in remote places in the wilderness and struggle to survive.
If you survive, there are powerful awakened people, but if you don't, it's basically precarious. If you encounter a zombie or mutated monster, you may be wiped out.
Such a team of survivors basically lives in despair every day, and people die every day.
Now in order to clean up the hidden dangers in the area, scattered zombies and various mutant monsters, it took more than ten years to truly control the second division, third peak, and eighth hall of Shangqing Daomen, plus Jinshan Temple and Jiuhua Mountain. area, and arrange formations to strengthen patrols, allowing humans to live freely in this area again.
Some people say that human beings are like weeds, fragile but strong. As long as there is a little space, they can survive and reproduce. This is another tenacity of human beings in addition to their wisdom, so they can survive after experiencing thousands of hardships. , can still survive.
This is indeed the reality. More than ten years are enough for a lot of things to happen.
Today, at the foot of Qinglong Mountain, a city of nearly 200,000 people has developed on the ruins of the city.
As the Shangqing Dao Sect strengthened its control over the area and all kinds of dangers were eliminated, the humans who were hiding everywhere and lingering finally gained a new lease of life and poured in from all directions.
In addition to Qinglong Mountain, a human city also grew up on the north bank of Chaohu Lake, called Chaohu City.
The surviving humans in the western area of Shangqing Daomen gathered here, and approximately 70,000 to 80,000 people settled here.
Chaohu City is built on the edge of Chaohu Lake. It can connect Chaohu Lake and the Yangtze River through the water system of Yuxi River, and can communicate with Qinglong City through water transportation.
Although the combined population of the two cities is less than one ten thousandth of the population of this area in peacetime, the surviving humans see hope of survival.
Human beings living in the Shangqing Tao Sect feel unprecedented security and confidence, and those powerful awakeners and the inner disciples of the Shangqing Tao Sect have become real immortals in the eyes of the world.
Compared with the outside world, the entire Shangqing Taoist Gate is like a real peach blossom garden in this doomsday world.
"Sect Master, there is a monk outside who says he is from Shaolin and wants to see you!"
Wei Xuan, who had just finished his retreat, was slightly startled after hearing the report.
Shaolin?
Although he has been practicing in seclusion for many years, it does not mean that Wei Xuan ignores worldly affairs and is completely isolated from the world.
A lot of things have happened in more than ten years.
The zombies have evolved twice, and the level differentiation has become clearer. They basically follow a ten-to-one ratio, forming a relatively strict pyramid hierarchy. The highest level of zombies has reached level five.
The zombie kings who were once born in various zombie teams have now become the royal family among zombies, and most of those zombie kings, special zombie kings, have become the kings of the zombie army.
The zombie armies in various places have formed a state of separatism, replacing humans and becoming the masters of this land.
The most important thing is that the zombie king already has the ability to speak human language.
Whether they admit it or not, today's zombie group has its own organizational structure like humans, forming a unique biological group.
Even to a certain extent, the zombie group that has mutated from humans is actually more suitable than humans to survive in this era.
They are stronger and more capable of surviving.
At the same time, as Wei Xuan had expected, the demon clan was rising rapidly, with a faint tendency to catch up from behind.
The great monsters currently appearing, creatures from myths and legends, occasionally appear in front of the world, showing extremely powerful strength.
Relatively little is known about other places, but Wei Xuan knows the surrounding areas very well.
Monsters from places such as Taihu Lake, Qiandao Lake, and West Lake, which are closest to Shangqing Daomen, have united to defend against zombies from the three areas of Magic City, Suzhou, and Hangzhou.
Zombies and these monsters living in the lake are inseparable.
The number of zombies in the three areas of Magic City, Gusu and Hangcheng can definitely be regarded as the highest in the world. Although the demon clan has united, it is still difficult to compete with them.
The only thing that can be relied on is that these monsters live in the lake. Although the zombies have the advantage, they are unable to enter the lake to fight the monsters, so the battle with both sides has been entangled.
It is precisely because of the constraints of these demon clans that the zombie armies in Demon City and Gusu have not focused all their energy on the Shangqing Dao Sect in the north.
Compared with zombies and monsters, although the surviving humans are also developing, and their high-end combat power may not be weaker than zombies and monsters, their overall strength is still not comparable to zombies and monsters.
Human forces, large and small, can only live in a corner and survive in a low-key manner. Fortunately, they are not like before, where they are easily wiped out by zombies or forced to flee. At least they have the ability to deal with various crises.
However, it is currently the only one like the Shangqing Dao Sect, which has hundreds of thousands of humans under its command and covers an area of nearly 200,000 square kilometers, and can maintain relatively peaceful development.
Of course, in the past ten years or so, Shangqing Dao Sect has not been attacked by zombies and monsters. However, after successive encounters with Wei Xuan's massacres, the monsters and zombies in the surrounding areas have learned wisely and no longer dare to It is easy to provoke Shangqing Daomen.
It is precisely because of the relatively safe environment that today Sangqing Daomen has resumed production and development and is self-sufficient. Some civilizations in peacetime are also gradually recovering. Electricity, re-operating cars, etc. can be seen everywhere in the city. wait.
The Shangqing Taoist Sect has been developing silently and has not communicated with human forces in other places.
Now, the monks from Shaolin Temple suddenly came to visit, and Wei Xuan was also a little weird.
After thinking for a moment, he asked someone to bring the monk up.
