Chapter 1182 Scavenger Tribe
Actually, Qin An also knew about the existence of scrap pickers.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, in order to defend against the corpses, many city walls had been built. Then, the people living inside the city walls would be considered isolated from the outside world, and the era of one city and one world would descend.
After living in the city for a long time, most of the people had a strong sense of territory and were very xenophobic, because no one knew what outsiders would bring to their small cities! Many stories of bandits robbing outsiders or invading and occupying them are told in the apocalypse.
This kind of xenophobic consciousness had already formed, so it was naturally not easy to change it.
Even though it was the twenty-five years of the apocalypse, many cities were still unwilling to accept people with unknown identities or bad records.
These people were unable to enter the city, so they could only wander around.
They were also unwilling to be true vagrants, having their heads carved with the word "flow", and then their children and grandchildren would be carved with the word "flow".
Since they were unable to go to human cities or wanderers' camps, they could only wander around without a fixed place. The world called this group of people scavengers.
After so many years, scrap pickers have now formed their own ethnic groups and characteristics.
Normally, scavenger tribes wouldn't have too many people, with an average size of about a hundred people.
In every scavenger tribe, there would be a male patriarch. He might not be the smartest, but his combat strength must be strong! Walking in the apocalypse, if you are not smart enough, you can rely on combat power to remedy it. If you do not have combat power, you will lose your life. Even a little bit of wisdom will not help.
A scavenger tribe would try their best to maintain a population ratio of 1 to 1. They practiced monogamy, continuing the pre-apocalyptic state.
However, the structure of their marriage was completely different from before the apocalypse.
The fate of scrap pickers is often very sad, because how can a true expert be a scrap picker? So they were just a bunch of pitiful people living in the cracks of the apocalypse.
Without the protection of the city walls, many scavengers could face life-threatening dangers at any time.
Therefore, scavengers know how to enjoy themselves in time.
Although they have a fixed partner, they often exchange partners.
In short, if the four of them agreed, they could quickly divorce and remarry.
After the exchange, if they were unhappy with each other, they could negotiate for it back.
The Patriarch naturally had privileges. He would not exchange his wife for someone else because he had the right to sleep with all the women in the tribe. In other words, the Patriarch could sleep with any woman in the tribe! Young men and women who grew up in the apocalyptic scavenger tribe had completely accepted this idea. Some boys would not be angry or feel that their wives were wearing colored hats when they saw their wives sleeping with others, because this was how their minds slowly grew.
Speaking of which, Qin An felt that it was quite ridiculous.
He remembered reading some online novels before the apocalypse. Once a female lead had some relationship with a man who wasn't a male lead, whether it was ambiguous or physical contact, it would immediately be bombarded by many readers. What kind of woman was a worn-out shoe, a slut…
Ah, in the apocalypse, how could there be so many virgins and martyrs?
It was women who were willing to sacrifice their bodies to survive in difficult circumstances in the early days of the apocalypse that became the generation of mothers in the apocalypse. Their children in the apocalypse supported the apocalyptic population base, allowing history to continue and mankind to move forward.
And those virgin martyrs … they died, and then they died, leaving nothing behind, and no one would remember them in the apocalypse!
Oh… Maybe there will be, like this middle-aged man in front of me who looks very sloppy.
"I was twenty-eight when the end of that year broke out.
The surroundings were full of fucking zombies. I ran and ran with the people around me. Then, I watched as the people around me were thrown down by the zombies and bitten by the zombies.
Too terrifying. Now that I recall it, I still feel fortunate. Why did I come back to life?
Afterwards, some of my neighbors and I were trapped in a small supermarket. It wasn't considered trapped, because a closed supermarket in the early days of the apocalypse was equivalent to heaven! It's all food, you don't need to spend money, eat whatever you want!
How many people were trapped? Ten women, five or six men?
Ah, I forgot too! Too long ago, there were twice as many women as men anyway…
"Well… peach blossoms, boil some water and make some scented tea for the guests. Lunch will be ready in a while."
The scavenger called Peach Blossom was only fifteen years old, His figure was already very plump, The facial features on her face were very delicate. She could be considered a girl with big breasts. In other words, her physical features were similar to Liu Xia's. However, compared to Liu Xia, her appearance was slightly inferior. Each of them was a bit shorter. After all, she was only fifteen years old. She still needed to develop, and she should develop very well.
The middle-aged man's name was Li Haibo, so Peach Blossom was actually his daughter, her full name was Li Taotao.
Li Haibo was the patriarch of this scavenger tribe. He was not an Adept, but because he had lived for a long time in the apocalypse, he knew a lot of things. Moreover, he did possess such ferocity, and his spear skills were not bad.
This was a dilapidated beacon tower near the turret of Mount Jiao. The scavengers were cooking. On the platform of the beacon tower, there were a few guests.
The guests arrived one after another today. Among them was a wandering child. To be exact, he was a young boy. His facial features looked young, but he was about 1.7 meters tall and his body was strong. Outsiders estimated that he should be around thirteen or fourteen years old. He was Qin An.
Among them was a woman dressed in black, Qiu Jinse. Among them were two apocalyptic merchants and the goods they were carrying. A big Russian girl said that she wanted to sell them to Qin City. Of course, apart from this big girl, they also brought other goods.
Then there are five other scouts belonging to the First Alliance Army. They are just ordinary warriors. They are planning to set up a temporary camp here in Anzha. Tonight, they will search nearby for scouts to prevent Mo Ling's spies from entering the rear of Shanhai Pass.
The scavengers knew that they were weak, so in order to survive, they also formed a custom, that is, those who came were guests, without asking why.
Once we get to the scavenger camp, food will be given, Although the so-called food may be unpleasant to eat, Probably just wild vegetable porridge, But it's free, and rest in the scavenger camp, It's definitely safer than in the wild, Because scavengers don't sleep at night, They'll be on full alert, Once there were any dangers in the surroundings, they would be quickly discovered. Also, the women of the Scrap Picker Tribe could accompany the guests to sleep at night. In principle, the women of the Patriarch would not accompany them. However, if the guests were strong and made such unreasonable demands, most of the ordinary Patriarchs would also compromise.
When Qiu Jinse arrived, Qin An had already arrived first, and Qiu Jinse's arrival made the entire scavenger camp uneasy.
Vagrant youngsters, apocalyptic merchants, scouts of the Alliance Army. These were all possible identities nearby, so there was nothing unusual about them.
In that case, it was a little strange for a woman with a pretty good appearance and neat clothes to suddenly appear alone.
