Tomorrow's Ark, Second International

Lightly knocked on a brick three times, and after saying the secret signal, the secret door opened.The idle wolf finally arrived at the destination, the base camp of the lurkers of the integration movement.

The space behind the secret door was unexpectedly spacious, everyone lowered their voices, and the weapons were placed within reach at any time.The equipment of the personnel is better than that of the personnel outside the city. Every day, merchants who are coerced or bribed deliver supplies to the personnel here, and the engineering personnel here are responsible for making those materials, including seamless steel pipes, into weapons. .

There is a large wooden table at the back of the room, on which are various information collected by the lurkers, including a detailed map of Balakovo.

Behind the wooden table, a person wearing a combat uniform, a full-face gas mask, and a green lamp on the mask spoke.

"What instructions are there?"

"Tomorrow at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the final operation will begin."

"What about our goal?"

"Paralyze the power, rescue the infected in the quarantine area, attack the warehouse to collect supplies, and evacuate on time."

There are no written orders, these are all verbal descriptions by Bob. In order to ensure the correctness of the orders, idle wolf will repeat what Big Bob says.

"Why... don't you capture this city." The latent team leader is an Ursa, and a native of Balakovo. He was an engineer in the city before he was infected. I hate this city as much as I love it. "Our strength is completely sufficient."

"The leader's goal is not here, we still need to continue to accumulate more strength."

Chapter 6 The First Clear Decision

"Finally came out of that place, that kind of place is really boring, um... ah..."

The strange sound he made while stretching made Idle Wolf himself a little shy.It's not because the voice is too attractive, after all, I'm an adult, I haven't heard any voice before.It's just that the sound insulation of this room is hard to describe, and the snoring of the neighbor next door can be heard clearly. If others hear such an ambiguous sound, the impact will not be good.

This is a stronghold of the integration movement on the ground in the quarantine area for infected people. Some second-line personnel who developed locally and have a low level of trust are placed here.

Occasionally, underground elites would come up to make repairs. After all, the underground environment is actually not suitable for long-term living. The oppressive space and dull air are enough to make most people behave abnormally, including but not limited to becoming irritable and irritable.

The idle wolf who just stayed there for a while almost became depressed.

The integration movement has been lurking in the quarantine area for a long time, and naturally it has more than one stronghold. It can develop such a strong force under the eyes of the Balakovo authorities. The authorities are so stupid.

There are only half of the windows in the room, and the other half are in the next room.There was no door either, just a curtain of opaque cloth.

The two rooms are separated by a not-so-thick wooden board, and there are still traces of splicing on the wooden door. The so-called bed is just a straw mat, and the surface looks clean.It’s just that you definitely don’t want to delve into how often the straw mat is cleaned. Clean water is also a precious resource here.

The quarantine area was silent at midnight, and Balakovo did not supply power to the quarantine area. It worked at sunrise and rested at sunset. The rhythm of life here was closer to that before the industrial revolution.Even though there is only a barbed wire fence between them, the people outside are feasting and feasting, and the nightlife is not much different from that of the idle wolf. This contrast is undoubtedly more ironic.

But idle wolf can't sleep now, she is not here for tourism, and she is not just a microphone, she also has her own little plan.

Bring the night vision goggles that came out of the underground base, and take out a palm-sized notebook, which contains a rough map and some action points.

The map that Idle Wolf is most concerned about marks all the factories and warehouses in this area.

The development of Balakovo largely relies on river transportation, so the entire city is very long, with multiple ports along the river, forming a slender rectangle.The quarantine for the infected is at the easternmost corner of the rectangle.

A sewer runs through the city from west to east, bringing all kinds of garbage here.Relying on the power of the city core, the sewer here is not only powered by water flow, but on the other side of the sewer that handles domestic sewage, there is also a conveyor belt that transports solids.Integration movements also often use it to deliver supplies.

These rubbish are the lifeline of the infected in the quarantine area, and the factories that recycle these rubbish are naturally built at the junction of the quarantine area.The sorting and recycling part is established inside the isolation area. After the sorting and recycling is completed, it is sent to the outside of a wall for refining and fusion, and becomes usable raw materials.

Those raw materials are handled by other integration movement personnel, and what idle wolf wants is the origin stone.

She has not been in Terra for a long time, and she does not know many common senses of life that were not clearly explained in the original game.For example, how the energy in the mobile city is transported, the idle wolf's eyes are darkened.

But many things should still be the same as the earth.Steelworks on Earth have dedicated energy departments to support the smelting of metals, usually right inside the steelworks.Terra should be about the same.Here, energy is equal to the origin stone.

The specific situation can only be found out on the spot, and what needs to be done now is only a rough plan.

"The attack time is set at 17:19, and part of the attack is scattered according to the plan. No matter what the result is, we must start to gather at [-]:[-] and leave the city for a round with the large forces."

The general action plan of the plan is as above. Since the idle wolf does not belong to the latent sequence, or she has not yet fully gained the trust of the cadres here, the specific plan is not written here at all, only a few rough targets and retreat locations.

"Factory, dock, maintenance meeting in quarantine area? What is this maintenance meeting?"

Now no one can answer the idle wolf's doubts, and he has to wait and see for himself in the daytime tomorrow.

"and many more?"

Look at the attack target, and compare the map.

"No food warehouse?"

There is not a single food warehouse in the entire quarantine area for infected persons. All the food is delivered from other places, and only a certain amount is delivered each time.

It was this simple method that the Balakovo authorities used to control the entire quarantine area, making infected people work for him.

"It seems that I have to find a way to find the nearest food warehouse. Bob's food should be running out."

Players in the game don't need to think about food, they only need to consider whether the materials for elite operators and Longmen coins are enough.But in reality, what the integration movement lacks most at this stage is actually food.This may not be relieved until the integration movement wins Chernobog and has its own territory.

If there is not enough food, even if you break through the isolation zone and rescue all the infected people inside, you will only accelerate your own destruction.

The infected people who have no food will do and can do nothing more than completely capture the city, be exposed to the Ursus Empire in advance, or be wiped out by the Balakovo military and police, these two situations.

Idle Wolf is not smarter than others, what she wants, other people can also think of.

【Use any method and any channel to collect all food after breaking through the quarantine area. 】

This is the small print at the end of the proposal.

"Any way? This!"

Among all the methods that the idle wolf can think of, the simplest one is "grabbing". A preview of Chernobog.

"Is it really suitable for me to stay in the integration movement?"

The idle wolf was a little scared, she was afraid that she would get used to all this.As a person born on Earth, the image of a rebel is not perfect, but at least has a bottom line.

If one day the idle wolf really becomes used to the practice of integrating the movement, is she really still herself?Besides, she really didn't think the path of the integration movement could bring anything other than fear and hatred.

Knowing that Bob is likely to be the Big Bob, Idle Wolf has some ideas, such as following them away from the integration movement and going to a new place to live in the sun.

But she also knows that that kind of life in the sun will not last long, there is no equal status, and infected people are street rats no matter where they are.

"I have known for a long time that the reunification movement is unreliable, but I still have some illusions about them. It's hard to live my life again, let me forget it, isn't it a revolution!"

It sounds good, but in fact, he has been infected with ore disease anyway, and he can't live anymore, so there is nothing to be afraid of.Since it is destined to die, it is better to be more vigorous and leave something before death.

In fact, idle wolves already have some immature but possibly effective ideas about how to allow the infected to gain equal status.But now, let's find a way to dig a corner.

Literally, Idle Wolf dug a small piece of concrete in the corner and began to practice his Originium skills.

"Bring the food to Bob, it will be useful when you really want to leave, find the origin stone, and try my golden finger..."

While summarizing the goals this time in his mind, he kneaded the concrete in his hands into things in his memory one after another. The first day of idle wolf's real visit to the world of Terra was over.

Chapter 7 What I saw and heard in the quarantine area

7:25a.m Sunny, outside the quarantine area for infected persons in Balakovo.

"This place doesn't look very good in the middle of the night, but it's quite lively during the day, with a lot of interesting food!"

Walking on the road and nibbling on the potatoes he took from the stronghold, the idle wolf looked around curiously.

For example, a street-facing restaurant over there collects edible expired food thrown away by supermarkets and restaurants in the city to make red cabbage soup with a unique sour taste.

There is also a brand that is "absolutely environmentally friendly fried chicken", which is said to be fried chicken made with bread crumbs made from the discarded bread edges of environmentalist vegetarians.

Of course, how could there be chicken here? You can smell it when you move your nose. It doesn't smell like chicken at all. As for what kind of meat it is, she doesn't know, maybe it's a mouse?

In fact, from his previous life, Idle Wolf has been fond of trying all kinds of dark dishes, from fried stink bugs to canned herring.If it wasn't that he couldn't go to England without money, he would also like to try looking up at the starry sky.

Anyway, judging by the delicious food the residents here eat, no one should be killed.If it weren't for the lack of money in hand, she would have wanted to buy it and eat it.Not eating meat for two days in a row can be tough for a Luper.

What kind of currency is used in the quarantine area, Idle Wolf hasn't figured it out yet, so she just observes it.Of useful parts, of useful metals and coins.It's a bit like bartering but there is indeed a system.

It stands to reason that people who stand on the side with saliva and don't buy it say that the store has a reason to drive them away.But so far the idle wolves have not been chased away.

"It's still such a big face."

Patting the big sword in his hand, the idle wolf felt that the sword was more and more cute. If he was more shameless, he should be able to prostitute some snacks for nothing with this guy's face.

Originally, she was going to leave the big sword in the room and only carry the short knife.But on the one hand, it's a bit inconvenient, and on the other hand, she found that most people here are carrying things in their hands. If she doesn't hold something in her hand, she really doesn't feel very safe.

In this kind of place with simple folk customs, you still have to make others feel that you are not easy to mess with.

These street restaurants are all on the only street in the quarantine area.Other streets have long been turned into residences and workshops.

Yes, there are also workshops for infected people in the quarantine area, although they are basically small handicraft workshops based on family units.Most of it is still primary processing for garbage collection.

Like shredding plastic bottles into plastic shards.Under the same weight, this kind of plastic fragments can exchange more fresh food than plastic bottles, because there may be water in plastic bottles, and plastic fragments can prevent fraud.

There is also the dismantling of the detachable damaged device to separate the internal components, screws and other items, which can also be exchanged for more materials than simply handing in the damaged device.

The idle wolf actually saw a garment processing factory, where creative people cut various worn-out clothes into materials, or disassembled sweaters into wool, and then used these materials to make brand new clothes.

It turned out that she always thought that places like slums like the quarantine area were just dirty and messy, but she didn't expect the people inside to be so creative and vital.

Neither dirty nor messy!

This strengthened the idle wolf's determination. Such people should never live in such a place, and they should have a better life.

However, crowding is still the absolute theme of the quarantine area.

The original design here was not to accommodate such a large population. It was originally an area limited by the number of infected people at that time. It was the benevolence of the authorities to have one room per person.

But year after year, more infected people were stuffed in, more and more new infected people were added to the population born inside the quarantine area, and the place became more and more crowded.

The small room separated by wooden boards that idle wolf lived in yesterday is actually the configuration of a normal family of three, and the kitchen and toilet are public facilities.The original one house can now house three or four families.

The space is getting narrower and the distance between people is getting closer and closer. Many secrets here are not secrets at all, such as the existence of the integration movement.

Many infected people regard the integration movement as their savior, especially young people, almost everyone wants to join the integration movement.If it goes well, the population here will be a great boost to the integration movement and an excellent source of soldiers.

Since the integration movement is not a secret here, why don't the military and police come here to arrest people?Then it involves another system - the maintenance committee system.

In this day and age, people don't know much about ore disease.No one knows the specific cause of the ore disease, but only knows that prolonged exposure to origin stones will cause the disease.What are the conditions and where is the critical point? No one has yet figured it out.

Will patients who come into contact with ore be infected?No one in the city knows, and no one dares to bet.In this way, the maintenance committee system appeared.

Since no normal person is willing to manage the quarantine area, let the infected manage the infected.

They selected some infected people, raised their status, gave them a steady supply of energy, water and food, gave them weapons, and let them manage the quarantine area by themselves.

The authorities themselves completely let it go, as long as the infected people don't raise their flags to rebel, the recycling factories can recycle a certain amount of resources every day.Just don't care.

However, traitors are always more hateful than enemies.This group of traitors of the infected oppressed the infected even more, and the deduction of rations was already a common behavior.

So the maintenance of the rule of the association is basically maintained in the circle of the factory.

Even if the existence of the integration movement in the quarantine area is not a secret, as long as there is no real outbreak, the authorities don't want to step on this stinky ditch at all.The empire is the emperor's empire, not theirs.
