Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Chapter 705 Special Chapter. Winter Queen. Returning Home

Deep in the withered forest, there were ice crystals on the branches, and there was a chill in the air. This chill that penetrated to the bones made many people wearing fur clothes feel a little unable to hold on, but everyone was still there. Being patient.

Today is June 23, 2076

8:23 am

The sun can only see a circle of light, and basically no warmth can be felt at all.

Vierra leaned quietly against a tree trunk. In front of him was a large open woodland, covered with some green vegetation. This was a large hunting ground that had been well prepared. Vierra entered with hundreds of people. They went deep into the mountains to hunt. Now the situation in the mines is very bad. Food has begun to decrease day by day. There are still nearly 8,000 people living in the mines.

The town has been completely controlled by the aliens, and now the farmland should have begun to produce some food. Coupled with the attack that night, they got enough "food".

The food in the mine is now enough for half a month at most, and the food shortage has reached a very serious level. In order to prevent the internal collapse from causing riots, Verla did not cut off the food of these branded people. Instead, the branded people and the townspeople now They eat the same amount of food, but the imprinters need to work in the mines to mine some metal ores to refine and obtain some metal materials.

Nowadays, the mine barely relies on hydropower from the water plant for supply, and heating relies on excavated coal. For the time being, there is no other crisis except food. The biggest crisis now lies in the heretics. Before, Vila tried After leading several raids, they found that there were very strict protective measures and they were still cultivating farmland. The moment Vierla saw the grid, Vierla figured out all the causes and consequences.

Only Gerry's group would turn to those heretics for help. The attack on Vella that night was very carefully planned, but it took some time in the process of receiving weapons and allocating personnel, and was preempted by the other party.

It has been the fifth day that Vierra and the others have been in this deep mountain. They found some traces of prey and set up some traps nearby. In the past few days, they have only caught some small prey, and more than 100 people have eaten them all. prey.

Hunting in such a cold mountain forest is extremely tiring of physical strength and willpower. The rations they brought could only last for one day at most. If they still couldn't catch too many prey today, they would have no choice but to return without success.

Vila smiled bitterly. The moment the disaster occurred, Vila saw an opportunity and quickly gained dominance through her intelligence. However, now this dominance has become more and more fragile. Many people Everyone began to complain, especially the original townspeople who had a lot of opinions.

In order to prevent the current fragile internal collapse, Verla chose to distribute the food fairly. The effect was very good, but it was questioned by the people around him. However, Redes was on his side now, covering up for himself. My younger brother, Fred was a little disgusted with Vierla's approach before, but now he supports the approach of everyone working together to coexist.

"The approach just changes with the position."

Vila muttered in a low voice, and then laughed. Vila recalled some life in school. After she and her brother went to the city, both of them worked hard. Vila was in the first year because of her excellent results. After receiving the scholarship and giving a speech on behalf of the students, she already felt that this feeling of standing on the stage overlooking everything below was what she wanted to pursue.

The man that Vila met after that was able to take Vila with him to attend some high-society places with envy and jealousy every time. Vila enjoyed it very much, if it weren't for the fact that the man became more and more excessive, and finally threatened Brother, Vila didn't understand how to kill that man.

In Verla's opinion, if you don't have a clear reason for living in this world, it will be difficult for you to survive. Just give yourself a reason. This has been true from childhood to adulthood.

Originally, her parents were very opposed to her and her brother's contact with the outside world, and wanted them to follow the rules and order of their tribe. However, Vierla had no reason to follow it, because the outside world was very tempting.

The man in the past gave Vila reasons again and again, and Vila finally killed him, and also designed to take away a lot of the man's money. Under such a situation, Vila originally planned to come back first to avoid the limelight, and then find a way Leave this country and live somewhere else.

But the disaster came. At this moment, Viera saw an opportunity, an opportunity to be able to surpass everyone in an instant. Although it was screwed up now, at least there was still a chance to build a kingdom of his own in this mountain forest. country.

Vierla didn't want to go back to the village, which was only about 50 kilometers away from here. Although it only took a day or two to walk back, Vierla didn't want to go back. An unstable factor was stirring in her heart.

Verla could no longer return to the happy, quiet and comfortable life in the small village. Originally, when the disaster occurred, his brother persuaded Verla to go back to the small village together.

It's just that Vila has never had this idea. She just wants to stay here and build a country of her own. Now the time is ripe.

At this time, there were some unusual movements in the distant mountains and forests. For a moment, everyone opened their eyes nervously. They saw a group of wild deer appearing in the mountains and forests in front of them. There were so many of them. At a glance, there were hundreds of them. , they carefully entered the area in front of them that still had a lot of vegetation. Everyone held their breath and raised their guns one after another.

After waiting for so many days, the result finally came. Vierla immediately raised the gun in his hand. Although he had not gone hunting with his parents a few times since he was a child, Vierla still remembers the feeling.

The moment of nervousness upon seeing the prey, and the suffocating feeling of fear that the slightest movement would cause the prey to run away.

boom

Accompanied by a gunshot, intensive gunfire rang out for a moment. Verla looked at the deer running away, but it was obvious that they could no longer run away. Some deer were caught in the trap in all directions, and some were trapped. He fell to the cold ground.

The hunting was effective in just over ten minutes, and everyone ran over cheering.

Vierra walked over with the gun in his hand and saw a stag lying in a pool of blood. It was not dead yet, still twitching, breathing hot air from its mouth, and staring directly at him.

"Sorry!"

Verla squatted on the ground, stretched out her hand and gently pressed the deer's lips. After a while, the deer died. Everyone cheered excitedly, took out their knives, and planned to process the deer meat.

Some deer still ran out, but only a small part. Most of the deer had fallen in the hunting ground. Vierla breathed a sigh of relief. This hunting mission was successfully concluded. With this food, it was enough. Many people hold on a little longer.

boom

Someone fired a shot. Looking at the deer that was still alive, he fired another shot. Vierla said immediately.

"Don't waste bullets."

As Vila spoke, an image of a hunter appeared in her mind. She looked towards the deep forest in the distance, and then laughed.

"no solution anymore."

After returning this time, Vierra planned to go back to the village with his brother and ask for help from the people in the village. Otherwise, there would be no way to deal with the heretics.

There were not many bullets left, and several raids had little effect. This had a lot to do with the shooting accuracy of most of the townspeople and the branders. The bullets were wasted in vain, but they were effective. It's very slight, but the other party can always hit the person on his side.

People in the village are very good at shooting, and they have stored a lot of weapons and ammunition for hunting over the years. People in the whole village will learn shooting from childhood, because everyone is a hunter from birth.

Vierla had no choice but to go back to the village for help. If he continued to delay, the situation would only get worse. The gangs were eyeing his side, and they would attack one day.

With the reclamation of mountain forests and the withering of trees and plants, the natural barriers near mines will become ineffective.

"Hurry up. If you can't finish processing, take them back directly."

As Vierla said, some people had already started a fire, but Vierla stopped them. It would take up to seven or eight hours to walk back to the mine. Many people wanted to have a full meal before going back. Finally, Vierla asked people to start counting. After checking the number of deer, some people were allowed to eat first before going back.

"I'm going back first. You guys just keep an eye on me."

Vila said and started walking. Many people advised Vila to rest first, but Vila planned to go back immediately and then go directly to her village. After getting some rations with some people, Vila was on the road. He simply explained a few things and left.

9:29 am

With a gasp, Gerry climbed up from the bed. The woman hugging him opened her eyes slightly, moved closer and closed her eyes again. There was still a fire burning in the fireplace not far away, and Gerry felt comfortable. He leaned back and then gently stroked the woman's hair.

At this time, a smell of aroma came. Gerry swallowed, picked up a dark thing on the cabinet next to him, put it in his mouth and ate it. Gerry didn't know what happened to him. In a short period of time, I have adapted to all this over time.

Nowadays, everyone is working hard to reclaim and maintain the land. There are already mature crops. They just harvested some the day before yesterday and started sowing again. The actual manager of the town is Mukes, and he is responsible for the farmland.

There are still a small number of people who have not passed the "trial" and are being imprisoned. They refuse to accept the so-called trial whether they live or die, but now their situation is miserable. They are kept in captivity like livestock, eating, drinking and eating in the south. In an old warehouse that was still intact, from time to time they would be caught, cleaned and slaughtered.

The woman next to her is named Silly, and she took the initiative to embrace her. In order to live a better life, Gerry also accepted this beautiful and tall woman, and his life was relatively comfortable, especially in the past few days, the mines Those guys stopped launching raids.

Among the many people who stayed in the town, some of the more useful people got good jobs. In so many sudden attacks, they relied on the simple alarm bells they made and the secret sentries placed near the roads. , once it is discovered that people in the mine are making moves, the alarm bell will be pressed immediately. Once Gerry knows about it, all the people who have been assigned will be called out immediately. It is almost impossible for them to attack.

Gerry looked at a crossbow placed on the table. This is the main weapon they use for defense now. Some people are using wood to produce it every day. Although this primitive weapon has problems with range and accuracy, it is still used. The arrows transformed from metal are still very lethal. In these attacks, the crossbow arrows played a very important role, and the arrows are easy to recover.

"What's wrong? If you want to sleep for a while, do you want to do it again?"

Silly looked at Gerry with a smile. Gerry just smiled and patted her face before getting up. Gerry planned to go to the farmland to take a look.

After putting on a piece of animal skin clothing and going out, Gerry looked at everyone working in a large farmland. Many people who had successfully controlled the north side by working with him came over. Gerry joked with them and said.

"The woman in the house belongs to me, so don't act rashly."

A few people nodded with smiles. Gerry planned to go to the crossbow manufacturing factory. Gerry also taught those people little by little the crossbow manufacturing techniques. Each crossbow would be carefully polished for accuracy.

As soon as he entered the town, Gerry saw a skull hanging on the door of a house. This was the difference between them and the people on the Mux side. They all lived in the town, and every house had a skull hanging on the door. Heads or human bones, and the smaller bones of some people were made into ornaments and hung around the neck or worn on the body.

Gerry saw several people in the room looking at him eagerly. He just smiled and passed by. Every time he saw these guys with abnormal brains, he always felt a chill on his back. But in Gerry The people here work hard every day, just hoping to have enough food as soon as possible to feed these guys.

Most of the weapons were in the hands of those guys, and Gerry was very careful every day. Soon he came to a crossbow processing factory, where more than 50 people were busy, and Gerry walked over and took a look.

"Gerry, Faith was missing last night."

A man leaned over and muttered, and Gerry swallowed. He didn't want to go to the middle of the town, because that place was where they held a festival. Once a month, people who were unlucky would become sacrifices.

There is obviously enough food now, but those guys have gone crazy. Many people are afraid of these guys, and they still have more than 2,000 people left.

"I saw that he was captured by those guys."

Gerry hummed, and everyone in the factory looked serious for a moment.

"Keep on holding on. As long as we gain something, we will have the opportunity to slowly eliminate the threat."

And Gerry feels that the biggest threat now is the people in the mines. They should have fallen into a stage of food shortage. Although they have cut off the water, Gerry still found the drainage pipe and directly passed it through manual labor. Pipes were opened and water sources were obtained.

When he went to the water plant, Gerry also went there. He naturally knew that there was no way to directly close the water pipeline at the water plant. It could only close the gate valve in the middle, so Gerry was convinced that as long as he found it, Pipes that transport water can obtain water sources.

Gerry also discussed this issue with Mux. It would be better to solve the trouble at the mine as soon as possible. Mux also said that when the plants in the mountain forest wither, that is when they will launch a large-scale attack. This is particularly true. Li agrees.

Only by solving the threats in the mine can the place be temporarily peaceful.

At this time, several people wearing dyed black clothes, exuding a fishy smell, and with weird camouflage patterns on their cheeks came over.

"Lord Mux wants you to come over."

Gerry hummed, put it into his pocket, touched the mobile phone and dagger he carried with him, and walked towards the center of the town. Gerry couldn't help pinching his nose, and the eyes around him were staring at him fiercely, Gerry Li didn't care and kept smiling.

More than ten minutes later, Gerry arrived at the ruling office in the middle of the town. As soon as he entered, he saw Faith, but only one head was left. Gerry covered his mouth, but he still resisted and walked in.

"I've been to you, I just want to tell you that from now on you have to choose one person to come over every week. Starting from next week, today is Sunday, and next Sunday you have to send someone over, whether it is a man or a woman. "

"We are reclaiming land now and soon we won't have to worry about food."

As soon as Gerry finished speaking, many people in the room laughed. Gerry felt the sweat steaming on his back. Mux stood up, carrying the big ax next to him, and walked over with a laugh. .

"I have the final say here now. If you don't agree, it starts with you next Sunday."

Gerry nodded.

"I see."

Then Mux waved his hand, and Gerry turned around and walked away. This place had turned into a slaughterhouse. It was not like this the last time he came here. Gerry left this eerie looking place as if he was running away.

After returning to his place, Gerry's legs were still weak. Gerry called a few cadres. They were very angry after hearing what Gerry said, but there was nothing they could do now. Those guys were so cruel. If you fight them, they will become "food".

"Maybe I shouldn't have cooperated with them."

Gerry said, everyone looked embarrassed, but there was nothing they could do now, Gerry stood up and said.

"Let's start with the old man."

Everyone in the room nodded, and Gerry asked them to call all the people over 50 years old.

In just an hour, hundreds of people gathered on the road beside the farmland. Gerry struggled to say Mux's request, and some people started crying for a while.

"Decide by drawing lots!"

Gerry said, although some people objected, most of the young people present agreed.

"Whoever draws the lottery can enjoy the food woman this week."

Gerry planned to start drawing lots directly. After all, the decision would have to be made sooner or later. If Gerry didn't follow Mux's order, Mux would definitely do something next Sunday. They were all crazy and could not be considered human beings. .

At this time, in Mux's residence, he smiled coldly, looking at a flash of scarlet in the dark and lightless room. The light only reached the door. Mux walked over with a smile, and looked at him with a sneer. On the bed, there was a woman whose whole body was covered with dense black and red hair-like things. The woman's skin was pale and she was already dead.

"This is today's sacrifice!"

Mux smiled excitedly, and the thing started to move at this moment, and then tentacle-like things stretched out in front of Mux, as if they were touching, and soon these things shrank. Go back, like a ball of weeds, and the woman has disappeared.

Mux looked at the mass respectfully, and at this time, a bulging meridian appeared under Mux's cheek, slowly moving on his cheek.

Gerry returned home quietly, and Sili immediately came up to him with a smile and hugged Gerry. Seeing Gerry's dejected look, Sili leaned into Gerry's arms with a smile.

"What's wrong? If you have any trouble, please tell me."

Gerry hummed and told Gerry what Mux had said. Silly's expression showed fear, bottomless fear, and Gerry laughed.

"It's okay, I will protect you until we have enough food to compete with them."

Silly shook her head.

"They are already monsters and no longer human. Although I don't know if it's my imagination, I always feel that they are stronger than ordinary people and they are getting stronger."

When Sili said this, Gerry also felt something was wrong, because he had indeed seen their movements, very fast, more agile than ordinary people, as if they were trained soldiers.

"Maybe it's my misunderstanding. You don't have to think too much."

Silly said, Gerry became more and more confused, and he stood up immediately.

"Otherwise, let's contact the people in the mine. If we join forces with them, maybe we will have some opportunities."

At this time, Gerry fell into deep thought, because when he launched the attack that night, it went so smoothly. No matter what, those guys were still flesh and blood, but they didn't know why they suddenly became so powerful.

"Thank you for reminding me, Silly, that something is wrong. Mux and his gang must be hiding something."

Only then did Gerry realize that it was difficult for Gerry to understand why such a large amount of "food" was consumed so quickly. After all, they couldn't finish it in only such a small amount of time every day.

"Be careful Gerry, you are my support now."

Gerry hummed.

"It's okay, I will solve all problems and build a kingdom here."
