Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Chapter 712 Special Chapter. Winter Queen. Mutation

"Virla, you hear me clearly, if you dare to leave me, I will kill your brother, sell you to those guys, and make you miserable for the rest of your life! Do you hear me clearly?"

In the darkness, Verla opened her eyes. There was a noise outside the room, and it sounded like many people were very happy. Verla got up from the bed with a serious expression, looked at the rifle leaning on the bed, picked it up and loaded it immediately. , and then after tinkering with her hands for a few times, she stood up and opened the curtains. The outside was immersed in joy, and the faint light penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on the earth.

In the past few days, some plants have grown in the mountain forest, and the plants seem to be showing signs of recovery, but Virla knows that this may be the last period of sunshine they can see.

I grabbed a lot of food from the farm a few days ago. This is a very happy thing for the more than 3,000 people living here now. There is still a lot of venison left in the hunt, which is enough for here. People have been supporting it for two or three months.

There is no power supply here except at night and during the day. Relying on the powerful generator in the cave, the surroundings of the water plant can be illuminated with bright enough lights, thus preventing those monsters from sneak attacks at night.

It’s just that Vila always felt uncomfortable. Looking at everything in front of her, Vila was worried. She didn’t know what the situation in the town was like now, but what was certain was that the situation in the town was very bad. Far away From a distance, Vierra saw his father and several experienced hunters using some wood to make simple crossbows. This was the most effective weapon at present.

Thinking about it carefully, that night was really thrilling. If it were not known that these monsters were afraid of light, they would probably all be wiped out. The appearance of these monsters has broken everyone's understanding of the past.

dong dong dong

There was a knock on the door of the room, Vila opened the door, a smell of aroma wafted in, and his brother Fred came in carrying some food.

"Sister, have something to eat first. Redes said he would let you go to the gate later to discuss something."

Vila hummed and looked at her happy brother. She was deep in thought while eating. Vila once thought that maybe she shouldn't forcefully take her brother away from the village. At that time, she was actually afraid. , on the one hand, I was envious of the bright and novel world outside, but on the other hand, I felt scared because I was alone, so I pulled my younger brother with me.

His younger brother, Fred, had been obedient to him since he was a child and always followed him. In the past, his younger brother would always be by his side.

"I probably shouldn't have taken you away, Fred. If I hadn't taken you away, you might have gotten married and started a business by now."

Fred looked at Vila suspiciously.

"Sister, why are you bringing up the past at this time!"

Vila put down the bowl and plate with a smile and walked over, put her arms around her brother's neck, and gently moved her head towards him.

"Did Dad ask anything?"

"I asked many times, but I didn't say anything."

As Fred spoke, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes. Half of the reason why his sister became like this in the past was caused by his own weakness, but his sister never said any words of complaint, even when he decided to I never mentioned it before doing such a cruel thing.

"Just do what you want, sister. Although it's a bit unacceptable, that's what I did in the beginning, branding things on the backs of outsiders' hands."

Verla wiped her brother's head and then laughed.

"Do you think I did a good job?"

"Very good. So far, Dad has also praised you."

Vila felt a little more at ease. In the past, she had been reduced to that bastard's appendage, but from now on, Vila finally figured out why she had the courage to lead people to stop those outsiders that day, and why she had the guts to lead people to stop those outsiders. Dare to run into the mountains and forests alone to meet Zhou Xuan.

On the one hand, Vila just wanted to repay the townspeople who had been very kind to their siblings. On the other hand, Vila realized from the beginning that this world was no longer the world she knew before, and in such a world, she wanted to The only way to live a better life is to be one step ahead. Now that Vila has done it, everyone listens to him.

The most important thing is their home, that small mountain village. If the chaos continues to spread, one day they will definitely go to that small village where they can get stable food for hunting.

Surviving with the only people now, this is the only thing Virla wants to do now.

The two siblings chatted and laughed and left the office building of the water plant. After going down, many people came over to say hello. In the past few days, Vera had planned the place very well, and everyone was quite convinced, especially in the distribution of food. On the topic, Werla refined it down to individual differences.

Soon Verla arrived outside the gate, and Redes was discussing with a few workers how to modify the gate, at least to enhance the gate's defensive capabilities.

"You're here, Vella."

"What's wrong? Do you have something to say?"

Redes said with a smile.

"That's what I'm planning to do, Virla. We are short of a lot of engines right now. How about taking some people and going around the south side of the town to the highway to get some back?"

Vila looked at an ancient map that Redes took out. In the past, there was a road that bypassed the village in the mountain col behind the water plant, but it had been abandoned long ago. The mine was originally planned to be The road was opened to allow delivery vehicles to avoid the town, but was ultimately abandoned.

Vierra took a look. If they wanted to go around, the distance would be at least 50 kilometers. Currently, they still have 6 usable cars here. They rely on electric-driven engines and can run about 200 kilometers after being fully charged. There should be no problem in going back and forth. It's just that if you encounter some problems on the road, it will be troublesome, especially whether it can be reached by this road is still a big problem.

Redes found some strong people. Because the road is in disrepair, some areas may need to be reclaimed by manpower before the car can pass, but there is no way now. If we don't dismantle some engines, there will be some power supply here. Not on.

After thinking for a while, Vierla nodded in agreement. The people selected by Redes came over, more than 50 people in total, drove three trucks over, disassembled some usable engines, and then transported them back.

However, Virla was a little uneasy, so she finally decided to take the people there in person. The 54 people were quickly equipped with weapons and ammunition, as well as some tools, including more than 10 strong lights, although the distance was only less than 50 kilometers. , it only takes a day to get there and back, but it will be troublesome if something goes wrong on the way.

Four trucks drove out of the water plant, and Vierla sat on the first truck. There were six trucks in total. There were several townspeople who were familiar with the road. They were all talking about that road they had been to when they were children, and Including previous hunting activities, I went there with my parents, and also went there during picnics. However, after the mining started, the pollution there was serious, so no one went there.

After the truck exited the road to the water plant, it drove along the road on the right toward the village of Verla. There was a small road there, which was the old road behind the water plant mine.

Vierra has asked the truck driver to keep a constant speed and the four trucks should try not to stay far away. Not far away there is a road sign that has long been corroded by rust, and the words on it are no longer legible.

Vila has seen this road sign many times. The large area of ​​dead moss underneath this road sign has turned black. Vila has seen this road sign every time she went from the village to the town. It has been like this since she was a child. No one cares about it.

There was a loud click, and the truck slowly drove onto this old road. The driver drove carefully and activated assisted driving, but the danger warning sound kept sounding.

The uneven road bumped violently, and the truck was moving very slowly. Verla grabbed the handle on the side of the door, making a constant clicking sound. The dry plants on the road were being crushed continuously, and the roadside stretched out. The value was constantly being broken, and the truck stopped at this time.

Most people got out of the car, and in front of them was a big tree lying on the road. At this time, Vila noticed the appearance of the big tree, and she immediately got off the car to check. Soon Vila discovered this. The broken part of the big tree didn't look like it was broken a long time ago, but it was broken recently. Vila began to look around everything. She thought quietly, and then looked back at the intersection.

"Everyone get in the car, and the vehicles behind are backing up. We're going back. We can't take this road."

Vila was sensitive to the fact that something was wrong. Since they knew there was a road here, the monsters in the town also knew there was a road. Walking in such a dark forest, it was easy to become a living target.

If something went wrong, they would probably be killed by those monsters. Many people were still saying that it should be no problem, but Vierla still asked everyone to go back.

But it would be extremely difficult for the truck to move back when it drove in. After everyone worked together to remove the big tree limbs, an hour had passed and they could only continue driving forward to find a place where they could turn around.

The truck was moving very slowly, and Verla had already led more than 30 people to guard the sides of the truck. Many people felt that Verla was too suspicious, and the monsters would not come out during the day.

But Verla looked at the dense forests in the dark and always felt that something was wrong, and she did not intend to continue taking risks.

Soon the truck found a place where it could turn around. Watching the trucks turning around one after another, a group of excited people smiled helplessly.

Half an hour later, the truck returned to the water plant, and many people gathered around it. Many people gathered around it for a while. After hearing the people who got off the truck say that it was Vierla who asked them to come back, many people were surprised. Seems a little dissatisfied.

"Probably not"

"I've seen Redes. Those big trees were pushed down by people with huge force. It's entirely possible for those monsters to do it, hiding in the dense forest, waiting for opportunities to attack us."

Redes didn't know what to say. Some people who came back said that it was probably due to the long-term water shortage and some problems with the rain that fell, which caused the roots of the big tree to die and it couldn't bear the weight before it collapsed. But there were different opinions, and in the end the plan had to be abandoned.

Redes's expression was embarrassing, because the success of this operation was closely related to the electricity that everyone was closely related to. Redes didn't want to give up this plan, and then he asked his nephew in the guard After calling out those people who were originally going, Vierra planned to go back to the office to plan some things.

"This is not good, Redes, if Vila knows."

Redes said with a smile.

"It's no problem. As long as you bring your things back, it'll be no problem."

Many people got on the truck again. After making sure that Vierra didn't notice, Redes let them drive the truck and leave the water plant.

Working until the evening, Verla found some experienced farmers. They had conducted a detailed investigation and found that it was possible to grow food on some land. Verla planned to ask them to take people up there early tomorrow morning to bring some of the land that could be grown. Plant crops and be prepared for any problems. If the situation is still the same after two or three months, then it will be a huge challenge for them.

At around 7 o'clock in the evening, Verla had just finished eating and planned to go down to the water plant yard for a while. However, when she went down to the water plant yard, Verla found that the truck was missing. She ran with fear in her eyes, and then stood at the gate. Nearby, Redes was seen sitting on a chair, seemingly waiting for something anxiously.

"Where have they gone!"

Vila asked, Redes seemed to be secretive, although Vila already knew it, and finally Redes said.

"Maybe they encountered some trouble on the road."

Verla looked at Redes blankly, and was stopped by him several times. At this time, Verla seemed a little angry.

"Are you kidding with their lives?"

Redes was a little surprised for a moment, but quickly stood up and retorted.

"Maybe they're on their way back."

Seeing many people approaching, Redes held back his anger for the time being. There is really a shortage of electricity now. If you don't find a way, it will be a problem to use electricity during the day. At night, you need to rely on the lighting equipment around the water plant to stop those monsters. With the invasion of electricity during the day, some places that need electricity will become more and more nervous.

"They can't come back!"

Vila just said something tired, and Redes added something when she turned around.

"Virla, it is true that you have done a lot for everyone, but why am I not? If we don't take the opportunity to bring back the parts of the cars on the road now, we will be in trouble in the future."

"I just hope everyone can listen to me in the future."

At this time, Vila noticed that many people around were pointing, because she was too young and a woman. Vila did not say anything. She knew that she had failed again.

Early the next morning, Redes led people to the highway, but could not see anything. Then he went to the small road that led to the old road behind. He could only see some tire marks. The sunshine today was not bad. There are enough, Redes brought hundreds of people with weapons and lighting equipment, and the main road here only needs to disappear.

However, after walking for an hour, Redes stopped. Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in horror. Four trucks were parked in a place surrounded by a large number of trees. Everyone was dead. .

Along with a whimpering sound, many people ran over, because there seemed to be their relatives among them. All the bodies were mutilated to varying degrees. It was certain that they were ambushed, and the resistance did not have much effect. Everyone died.

When everyone checked the trucks, the driving equipment and engines of the four trucks were all damaged without exception. There was a metallic smell in the air. The damaged engines looked like they had been violently damaged by brute force. It was damaged, with traces of cuts everywhere, and some of the chemical reaction fluid inside had dried up.

This is the core of the engine. Redes could not accept what he saw. Yesterday he was still full of hope and waited until the early morning before falling asleep. This morning, this hope was shattered little by little, and finally was torn apart in front of reality. Cracked.

At this time, pairs of eyes full of anger and distrust were staring at Redes. All their weapons were taken away, nothing was left, and some tools were directly destroyed.

11:11 am

Crying filled the water plant, and many people were scolding Redes for being irresponsible and asking them to die. Vila had obviously warned him, but Redes did not follow Vila's advice. The hunters just He watched quietly from the sidelines and did not participate in any discussion of right and wrong.

The scene became a little chaotic. At this time, Verla came down from the office. Everyone looked over. Those who lost their loved ones were still crying, looking at Verla, hoping that Verla could say something. Others It was the same, the voice gradually subsided, Redes stood numbly at the door, his eyes looked very solemn.

"I have already warned you Redes. It is true that you used to be the sheriff here and led most people to live quietly and peacefully here, but now we are in a world where death may occur at any time if you make the wrong step. It is precisely because in such a cruel world, we must be extra careful, otherwise, in the end we will just fall like them."

After Verla finished speaking, he looked at Redes again.

"I just hope that you will not act rashly without my order in the future. Now everyone can continue to reclaim planting land in the mountains and forests. This is the key to our long-term survival in the future."

Everyone moved, and their eyes were full of hatred, which made Redes completely unable to move. Then he left the crowd and returned to his room to lie down.

Vierra called the past few guards over.

"Why didn't you tell me when you knew he had made such a stupid decision?"

One person lowered his head.

"I don't want this to happen again, and for those who don't obey orders, just get them out of here, starting now."

Vila closed her eyes. After thinking for a long time, she led someone with a weapon and opened the door of Redes' room. Some food and clothes that had been packed were already placed in front of Redes.

"You can leave now."

"What's the meaning?"

Redes climbed up from the bed. He immediately knew what Vierla wanted to do, and then he smiled bitterly. Finally, Redes took some food and clothes and stepped out of the water plant under the watchful eyes of the people. There was no room for him here, and several mistakes made the situation very bad.

Verla stared blankly at Redes who was slowly leaving and the relaxed expressions of many people. At this time, many people began to murmur that the problems that occurred in the mine that night might not have happened if it had not been for Redes. So many people died.

Verla had already planned what to do if the mine was attacked. The most direct way was to enter the mine and then guard the entrance. That night, after Redes found that he could not deal with the monsters, he directly ordered a retreat. Escaped the mine with many others.

Including when he evacuated the town before, Vierla also warned Redes that he could not hold it and left some unimportant supplies, but Redes insisted on taking them away, and in the end he paid the sacrifices of more than 100 townspeople. Life, if Viela hadn't slowed down those people, more of them might have died.

Waves of praise and cheers rang out, and Verla pressed the gun in her hand. She actually wanted to kill this self-righteous old consul after learning that Redes had done this yesterday.

At this time, Verla knew very well that after Redes left, he would be able to better integrate everything.

"Please follow my orders from now on and strictly implement them if you want to survive. Otherwise, you will be expelled like him."

Vila doesn't intend to sympathize with Redes. Whether he lives or dies, or even goes to town is his business. It doesn't matter anymore. Vila plans to build a residence here. After all, the water source here is sufficient. Vila The dam valve has been closed, and every day people here will take over to lift out the overflowing water. The town will not be able to supply water in a few days. This is Viela's plan.

As long as there is no water, the captured people will definitely move. Vella plans to take this opportunity to destroy the monsters. This is their only chance, and perhaps the last chance.

At this time, Redes came to the road, wiping away tears in his eyes. He looked left and right, not knowing where he was going. Most importantly, Redes sat on the ground.

"You are such a cruel woman, Verla!"

At this moment, Redes had already recognized Viera clearly. He knew very well that if this woman controlled everything in the future, it would be desperate for many people. Finally, Redes got up and walked towards the left, he The only way now is to go back to the town. This is the only way he can survive.

Looking back at the road to the water plant again, Redes laughed with an angry expression.
