Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 16521653Special Proof

It has been several days since a decent ship arrived at Refeng Port to unload cargo. The idle workers on the dock are looking forward to it, wondering if they will have the opportunity to earn enough to support their family today.

After annihilating the coalition fleet, the Tang Army's fleet basically controlled the sea. The elves had no way to let their own shipping enter the port, let alone transport any valuable goods.

 The port is shut down, and the workers on the docks naturally have no work to speak of. Without work, they will have no fixed income.

 The economy of the entire port is beginning to collapse, and many elves have begun to find it difficult to untie the pot. Everyone was trying their best to stock up on food, and suddenly the whole city began to panic.

 Shireen was walking on the street numbly. She still didn't know whether her two sons were still alive in this world. She was holding a basket with some food in it that she had managed to get.

There is half a piece of black bread inside. This stuff is so hard that it can kill people, so it has to be soaked in porridge before it can be swallowed.

Of course she couldn't have known that one of her sons was now munching on the bread from the prisoner of war camp, enjoying the thick soup with minced lunch meat in it.

The air raid siren started to sound again. Shireen was used to such days, so she didn't even bother to hide.

The roar of anti-aircraft guns seems to be just a block away. In order to ensure the safety of the city, the elves have deployed dozens of large-caliber anti-aircraft guns on the streets. Although these artillery can play almost zero role, they will fire a few shots into the sky every time, giving local civilians a little sense of security.

A military truck stopped on the side of the road. Several elf soldiers holding M35 helmets jumped out of the truck and nervously ran towards the corner of the building with their rifles in hand. She didn't know what they were in a hurry for, but Shirin just glanced at them and stopped caring about them.

 She was going home to make a dinner, and her neighbors Charlie and Fran were going to eat with them. On days like this, if everyone stays together to keep warm, perhaps we will have more courage and a greater chance of surviving.

 In the past, children selling newspapers could still be seen on the streets, but now they are no longer seen. No one was worried about their children wandering the streets at this time, so the reassuring shouts of selling newspapers disappeared.

 Without newspapers, the radio was filled with the noise of current interference, and the channels for the civilians of Rewind Port to learn about the war situation outside have been almost cut off.

The radio station was destroyed by bombing a few days ago. Also destroyed was the city lord's palace in Rewind Port, as well as the government offices in the city that ordinary people did not dare to go to.

A small person like Charlie cannot be easily injured. His job is just sorting out some documents and other small things. He works in the office building next to the city lord's palace. Although he is wary, it is relatively safe.

“Boom!” When she was about to reach the street in front of her house, Shireen heard a loud noise coming from the city.

That was really an earth-shattering loud noise, as if the whole world exploded at that moment. Before the explosion came, Shireen even felt the shaking of the earth and heard the tinkling of glass on those buildings.

Soon a puff of black smoke rose into the sky, and an unpleasant smell filled the air. Many people choked to tears due to the thick smoke. Shireen was so frightened that she hurried back to her home.

Fran, who was waiting for her at home, was in shock. The two women seemed very weak and helpless in such a world. They don't know what happened, and they won't know anything until Charlie comes back in the evening. Sure enough, at night they heard the news brought back by Charlie: Tang Jun bombed an oil processing facility in Rewind Port, the chemical storage tank was blown up and a shocking explosion occurred, and the air was naturally severely polluted.

 Fortunately, the toxicity was not that terrible. Although there were dozens of deaths within a few blocks of the explosion, people above have ordered that it is forbidden to talk about similar things.

"Don't go out recently, stay at home as much as possible... If you inhale too much of that stuff, you will definitely feel uncomfortable for a while." Charlie explained to his wife and neighbors with certainty: "Make me some masks later. Wear it when you go to work.”

"I'll do it today." Shireen knew that Fran didn't have any skills, so she immediately took over the job: "I happen to have a few pieces of old cotton here."

With the development of industry, masks have become very common, so Charlie thought of this method. As a man, he cannot hide at home at this time. He must go to work to keep his position.

When he came back, he had already seen several military vehicles arresting young people. The Yangmu Empire was undergoing full mobilization, and all young people had to report to the recruitment office.

Only workers responsible for production in factories and employees in government departments will not be captured and sent to serve in the barracks, so Charlie must keep his job.

“Bang! Bang!” While the three people were talking, there was a knock on the door. Charlie walked to the door, opened the door and saw a group of soldiers looking at him sternly.

"For the sake of the empire, now put on your clothes and come with us!" The leading officer saw the man and ordered rudely.

 Charlie took out an ID from his pocket and handed it to the other party. The officer looked at the ID, checked the black and white photo on it, and continued to ask: "Is there another man here?"

 “No more.” Charlie stepped away from the door, looking cooperative.

The officer looked inside through the crack in the door and saw two women with frightened faces. He gave a routine military salute and turned to leave: "Thank you for your cooperation! Goodbye."

This kind of thing happens every day, and Charlie is used to it. He also often encountered soldiers blocking the road on the road. They were ordered to arrest all men without special certificates and take them away.

 The so-called special certificate is the identity certificate issued to production workers and other people who do not need to be drafted into the army. If there is no such thing, things will be troublesome.

　　After closing the door, Charlie breathed a sigh of relief. The atmosphere in Rewind Port was getting more and more tense now, because the Tang Army had already occupied Saint-Lo, and it was not too far away from here.

This place may become a real front line at any time. At that time, it will not only be air raids by the Tang Army, but perhaps every street here will become a purgatory-like battlefield.
