Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

5 am

Allen woke up from the annoying sound of rain. The car was still driving on the road. The car only kept moving forward slowly and steadily at a speed of 30 to 40 yards. This speed is the most fuel-efficient. The accelerator will only be stepped on when encountering some slopes. .

Allen looked at the dark mountains in the distance. The lights of the convoy were like fiery snakes on the road, a long string. In order to win everything in one fell swoop, it was best to crush them with hard power.

Allen didn't plan to wait any longer. They would attack as soon as they arrived, find the eight scientists, and then look at their results. If the results were good, they would start reclaiming the land and start planting on the spot.

Although Allen is a little worried about the situation in the city, whoever has food and force is the boss.

To be on the safe side, Allen still brought Sanggu with him. This guy was still of some use, but that was partly because of his ability to stir up trouble.

Some of his confidants had already persuaded Allen to kill Sanggu directly, but Allen did not do so because Sanggu was indeed still somewhat useful. He had been in contact with the eight scientists for so long, and he should be very aware of their It seems that this is why Allen brought Sanggu here.

The convoy will stop dozens of kilometers away from the grassland. This is the best way to ensure concealment before the raid.

Allen planned to end the battle in half an hour at most, surround them as much as possible, annihilate them in one fell swoop, and then find the scientists. Sanggu also promised to recognize them, because he had already spent time with them two times. It’s been months.

The condition of the car is not very good. Many cars can only sit in place for a long time and cannot be started at all. This is very bad for the engine.

Many cars have started to have problems and have stopped for maintenance. Allen has brought out as many skilled workers as possible who can repair the cars, just to prevent such a situation from happening, and also brought some repair parts.

After a while, the mountains in the distance began to turn white, and soon there was sunlight filtering through the mountains. Allen looked at the sunlight with a smile. Although there was sunlight over there, it was much worse than here.

Soon the motorcade stopped and began to rest and have breakfast. Allen got out of the car and stretched his limbs comfortably. Everything now was very comfortable for him.

In such troubled times, he is lucky enough to be sitting in such a position, with at least hundreds of confidants under his control. This is enough for Allen. As long as they listen to him, Allen plans to build a human society. The end of the world.

Now more and more people are pouring into the city. The most indispensable thing is labor force, and talents are very scarce. If you want to build a doomsday city, you need talents.

"Alan, I think you should think about it carefully. After all, our risks are a bit high this time."

A confidant who had been following him since the end of the world said. Allen smiled. It was indeed too risky to do so. Although he left dozens of confidants in the city, there were forces in the city that were not within his full control. , if you want to raise your head, this is the best opportunity.

However, Allen brought out half of the weapons in the city, which was a certain guarantee.

Another confidant came over and said the same thing as Allen.

"Is that really what you think?"

Many people nodded, and one of them said.

"I'm very worried. Maybe as soon as we stepped forward, they started to attack on the back foot."

Allen nodded. They were right to worry, because in this world, instead of obeying orders under the hands of others, it is better to control everything yourself. Many people in the gang think so.

"There is a problem. I have already told you that the crops produced by the farmland in the city have become less and less. Although there was a lot of stockpiling before, it is far from enough for the future, especially now that more and more crops have been produced. More and more people are coming to the city, so we have to prepare for the future."

"But Mr. Allen, even if we really capture those eight scientists and occupy their farmland, we may no longer have a place in the city, and we may have to pay a heavy price if we go back."

Alan laughed.

"As long as the food is in our hands, that city will not be able to survive in the future. When they fall into a food crisis, it will naturally be time for us to go back."

Allen saw this very clearly, and he also gave instructions to dozens of confidants in the city. Once the other party really wanted to take action, they could just leave the city without having to confront them head-on. After all, there was no benefit in doing so.

The person who had observed it had come back to report that the grassland was being reclaimed. He also took some photos. It was only after Allen saw the photos that he decided to take action quickly. When they arrived, he might be able to catch up with them. harvest.

Their experience in reclaiming a piece of land, including planting experience, can be copied by their subordinates right away, and they can reclaim large areas of farmland. When that grassland turns into a rich granary, everything will be fine.

The convoy started again. Allen glanced at the towering mountain peaks in the distance and showed a satisfied smile, because the mountain peaks were clearly visible under the sun.

Although Allen is not too clear on the reasons why those scientists came here, it is certain that they intend to survive on this land for a long time, because now is an era with no way out.

The overall condition of the vehicles has been revealed. More than a dozen vehicles are temporarily unable to move forward and can only wait for repairs. This is also what Allen expected, so he brought so many people and vehicles, including supplies, weapons and ammunition.

3pm

Gene looked at another can house that had been built with pleasure. Many people were very enthusiastic. They had become familiar with the operation process in these days, so the speed naturally increased. This was already the 24th can house. According to the At this speed, at least 20 can be made in a day, as long as there are enough materials.

Gene and Deguna also divided people into a manufacturing group and a material group, so that materials can be continuously sent over, and they only need to be responsible for rapid manufacturing.

"I think that's about it, Gene, just let them build it themselves."

Gene still said.

"Wait for another day or two, Deguna. This kind of house must be built in a long-term location. When 50 of them are built, we will start to install some ventilation and electricity equipment. We need to let them know how to build it." That’s all.”

Deguna sighed. She had a vague feeling that something was wrong, because the attitude of Jed and his group towards them had changed a little in the past few days. This change started with Jed, although it seemed harmonious on the surface. , but it can be seen that they are wary of them.

The two told Ellie and the others about these things, and the eight of them had already begun to tailor their escape plan. Jean and Deguna would use the car engine to make an electric boat, and they would also start to make some food into dry food. , and then put it on this boat that can carry eight people.

Externally, they can only say that they need to measure the water level and quality in the lake, etc., because some people have not listened to their advice in the past few days and have become sick after drinking lake water.

Now we can only keep one hand. If they turn against each other, the only escape route for Jean and the others is the large lake in the distance. Tomorrow, Li Chu will take his laptop and Gu Yi to check and locate the route in all aspects. Got it clearly.

When there is a real crisis, it will be impossible for them to escape from the grassland, even with a car, but if they escape from the lake, there is no way the other party can catch up.

According to Guyi's recollection, it took at most four or five days to enter the abandoned military base in the mountains, because when they came here to conduct some experiments, they walked through it in person.

And there will be eye-catching signs. Gu Yi remembers it very clearly. He has a very good mind and directly asked Li Chu to make a map for entering the mountain. So each of Jean and the others only need to bring seven days of food and weapons, and Some fresh water and warm clothing will do.

The whole day passed quickly. At night, eight people sat in the tent and used the electricity stored in today's solar panels to dry some food, especially vegetables, using a homemade stove to quickly evaporate the water. Drop it before you can carry it as dry food.

"I think we should talk to them Gene."

Ellie said, Gene shook his head solemnly.

"Trust is something that will collapse very quickly once it becomes dusty. Talking about it will make this trust collapse even faster, because we have only known each other for less than two months, not that we have known each other for a few years." Years or even decades, so talking can’t solve anything.”

"I agree."

Li Chu muttered, and the others stopped refuting. Ellie seemed a little distressed, because she had just seen hope in this land, Deguna said with a smile.

"Don't feel bad. This is how people are. We can't think of people too well, nor can we think of people too badly. Of course, in addition to ourselves, we must be wary of others. Don't forget, before In the mine."

Everyone looked at Deguna, and she hurriedly said sorry. Everything in the mine was too tragic at that time. If Deguna, Jean, and Li Chu hadn't prepared backup plans in advance, they might have been killed. Died in the mines.

They plan to enter the abandoned military base to conduct research, wait until everything begins to bear fruit, and then come out after a few years of stability. They plan to select some humans who are willing to follow them and enter the mountains to continue to survive. The only thing they can do is to remove the past human beings. Knowledge is passed down so that the human race can continue.

After all, they all have unshirkable responsibilities for the planet to become like this, although the source of all this can no longer be explained clearly, because the source is the entire complex and ever-changing human society.

Recently, Ellie has also been paying attention to the situation of some animals and plants nearby. Many animals have begun to disappear, and the situation will only get worse.

"Don't think too much. The only thing we can do now is to survive and use everything at hand and the knowledge in our minds to build a shelter for mankind."

Gene said and Ellie nodded.

It has been sunny for two days in a row. Li Chu and Gu Yi have prepared food, and have also taken a boat to explore. There are several landing sites on the opposite side of the lake, and they have selected three of them. It depends on if If something really goes wrong, from what direction will the enemy surround them?

To be on the safe side, Li Chu also built electronic signal equipment at three landing ports, which can last for half a month, so that the location can be determined based on the signal even in the dark.

In the past few days, the harvest has begun to increase in the farmland, and many people are very happy. They work harder and want to own more land.

However, just after this afternoon, the sky became a little gloomy. Deguna and Jean began to gather 100 people and expressed their ideas. They wanted to train them and use them for protection and maintenance of law and order after they were stabilized here.

Many people are willing, and some of Jed's men are obviously tired of hearing it, and even question the plan proposed by Gene and others.

"I don't think we can control so many people, and if there is an attack, the weapons in our hands may not be effective."

What this person said is true, because the weapons held by many people are relatively powerful, and they also require high-precision sniper rifles and the like.

"We have to slowly communicate with everyone and ask everyone to hand over their weapons."

When Deguna said this, many people began to discuss it. Many of them did not want training, but wanted to help build houses, because they also wanted to live in such houses earlier, and many of them had already lived in the houses. Everyone thinks it’s pretty good.

After the training started, many people seemed to be laughing and joking and not serious. Deguna was a little angry. These situations all started from Jade's men. Gene didn't plan to go to Jade to talk about anything because he noticed that Jade The way De looked at them changed.

Jed was suspicious of them and was already very wary, so Gene didn't plan to say anything to Jed.

"Everyone, let's go help build houses."

Jean opened his mouth and many people cheered and ran. Deguna wanted to get angry, but Jean held her back, and after a while the two left the crowd.

"Maybe this is what humans are."

Jean said and Deguna laughed helplessly.

"If you listen to us, a city can be built here."

However, Gene shook his head.

"They are living a good life now, and there is no need to continue to listen to our orders. This is enough for them. We have taught them the techniques for cultivating farmland, collecting seeds, and sowing. It is enough for them to survive. Well, Witte and Ellie have also completed some preliminary research, and then we just need to take the seeds to the base in the mountains."
