Tomorrow's Ark, Second International

"But we don't have any food..."

A guerrilla infected person said helplessly, whether he wanted to help or not, they were really powerless to help.

The food for the guerrillas was saved from the teeth of the residents of the base area. If it hadn't been supplied by the Longmen Fleet and raided the entire mine, it would have bottomed out now.

However, while getting supplies, there are so many more mouths to eat. Now the food crisis of the guerrillas is not insignificant.

Everyone expects to be able to contact the International to get supplies from the International, but now that they have not got the things and have to distribute what they have in their hands, it is inevitable that there will be some complaints.

After all, they came all the way to help.

"There is no need to worry about this." Morrison reassured his teammates, "International will send fleet supplies from Edelweiss, but we need our help to escort."

"Then there's no problem!"

Don't look at how poor the International was before, but now they are extremely rich in the eyes of other infected organizations, and they can drink bowl after bowl of milk.

"Don't be blindly optimistic, even the instructor doesn't know how many people are in that group of infected people, and they have been out of food for nearly half a month."

Food has been out for such a long time, maybe the place waiting for rescue has already become a hell on earth, everything is possible.

"And it will take at least 4 days to send a land ship from Edelweiss to arrive. During this period, it will take us 1 day to rush from here. There are still three days that we have to solve by ourselves. Everything must be fixed and quantified."

If you want to use less food to last as long as possible, the only feasible way is to keep people's consumption at a minimum level, but it's not as simple as it sounds.

"Officer Hoshiguma, how long will it take for the second fleet of Longmen to pass by? Can we borrow some food?"

Morrison turned the conversation to Hoshiguma. If the latter calculated the time, the return fleet might have already arrived. If it was fast, the second batch would probably arrive in the next two days.

"It should be soon." Hoshiguma took out the communication device in his hand, as long as it reaches the range, this thing can be used again. After all, not only cities, but land ships are also nodes that support communication. "I'll keep an eye out."

On the fleet of Longmen in the distance, Shi Huaiya, who had just brewed a bag of instant coffee, sneezed and almost knocked over the coffee.

It was because of these troubles that she gradually got used to instant coffee, but now she even has to take away instant coffee!

It must be Fenchanglong again, it's great to be a city lord!Shi Huaiya angrily pushed the pot of coffee that was almost overturned on someone's head.

Think of her, Beatrix Bancheng, when she was wronged like this.

Chapter 1144 Complaining

The guerrillas who got the news didn't dare to delay at all. After completing the lane change, the Enterprise headed straight for the target. Or how can I say that the Ursus Wasteland is suitable for land ships? In most cases, you can choose between two points. The shortest route in a straight line.

During this period, Hoshiguma's personal terminal suddenly received a signal, but when she greeted her enthusiastically, she only got a complaint containing resentment from Shi Huaiya.

During most of the period, she was the one who complained again, saying how malicious Chen was to avenge his personal revenge. What can Xingxiong, the middleman who has always been the bond between Shi Huaiya and Chen, do, and he can only comfort him.

The two talked on the phone like normal girlfriends, but the line they talked with was always the third person who was not there, which made Hoshiguma who was listening feel dumbfounded.

On the contrary, Shi Huaiya, who was caught in the narration, didn't find it strange, and she didn't know if she would feel embarrassed when she calmed down.

"That guy Fenchanglong is too much. He has added so much work to us for no reason. The work is for the sake of Longmen. We have no complaints, but now we not only have to face the pressure from above, but also face the pressure from below. The pressure, it’s really not human inside and out, it’s better for you, you escaped early.”

Shi Huaiya's mouth kept talking like a machine gun, and she didn't seem to stop at all. As a senior official of the Longmen Guards Bureau, she usually couldn't find someone to talk to.

"At the beginning, the staff of the Guard Bureau was a job that everyone envied. Now when the big guy mentions the Guard Bureau, the first two words that pop out are incompetent and tired. Can you blame us for the things before? "

The previous event was the Battle of Longmen. In the battle of the integration movement and the successive international invasions, the Guard Bureau did not perform very well. Shi Huaiya knew that the Guard Bureau had tried its best to protect the upper and lower urban areas from being too badly attacked. The massive damage was already the best result of the hard work of countless Guards Bureau operatives.

As for the slums?Most people in Longmen have never paid attention to this invisible urban area, and even proposed to kick the slums out of Longmen more than once. As a result, the slums have been robbed, and some people have started to mock the Guards Bureau as "not good for defending the land".

"Those jumping clowns who jumped out are easy to deal with, but we have nothing to do with the public's opinion. It is much more difficult to recruit people now than before, and some people actually asked me to resign!"

Some guys who wanted to jump out and seize power were withdrawn from Longmen under the combined blow of Chen's feudal iron fist and Beatrix's half-city capital iron fist, but it wasn't them who were really troublesome.

Although the people of Longmen don't say bad things in person, they can feel many things from their usual words, deeds and eyes.

The officers of the current Guards Bureau dare not wear uniforms when they go out during the holidays. This is the biggest problem. God knows how long it will take to reverse this crisis of trust.

"The most exaggerated thing is that we are all in such a difficult situation. Fenchanglong didn't approve some more funds for us, and deducted some overtime pay. She was the landlord of Ursas in her previous life!"

The star bear knew that there was a miser named Plyushkin in the satirical novel by the Ursus author. The content of that book was sensitive within Ursas, and the author was forced to leave Ursas.

But the book sold very well in the border country of Ursas, but not only because of political reasons, but also because the book was really interesting, and she almost laughed when she thought of Chen's stingy appearance like a character in a novel.

"The most hateful thing is that you are the director of the Guards Bureau. I'm the one in charge!"

In the end, the fire still burned on Xingxiong's head, she could only comfort Shi Huaiya with a wry smile, this was exhausting all her life's knowledge, and in the end she could only apologize with the reason that I would treat guests to a drink next time.

It was so hard to hang up the communication, Hoshiguma felt that this was worse than going out to fight any enemy for 300 rounds.

As a matter of fact, Shi Huaiya should indeed be the head of the Longmen Guard Bureau. The reason why she didn't take this position was because her surname was Beatrix.

Shi Huaiya's family spans Longmen and Victoria, and also controls part of Longmen's urban area. With this, no matter how loyal she is to Longmen, she will not be able to take the position of Chief of the Guard Bureau.

Otherwise, is Longmen's surname Chen or Beatrix?

Shi Huaiya also understands this truth, the three of them also had a candid exchange on this issue at the beginning, and it was she who voluntarily gave up the position of director general and pushed Xingxiong up.

Sure enough, when the position is higher, it becomes more and more troublesome.

It doesn't matter whether it's the underworld or the white way, the reason is the same. The low-level people can just fight without using their brains, but the high-level people can't use their brains.

Now, even when Hoshiguma lamented that the happiest life she lived was when she beat up other street thugs on the street, I'm afraid it would be considered friendship.

That's why she escaped her responsibility and went to the new outer city of Longmen to sit in town, and now she ran to this kind of place. For her, this was also a long-term vacation.

Presumably Chen also understood this, so he didn't send twelve gold medals in a row to call her back.

Pushing open the door of her cabin, she walked onto the deck alone after explaining to Morrison that Longmen's fleet would arrive soon.

He took out a bottle of green Origin Stone Worm special wine from his pocket. This new variety of wine imported from Edelweiss to Longmen was approved to go on the market after going through the strict quarantine procedures of Longmen.

After all, no one wants to drink and become an infected person, right?

The name of this beer was also changed to [Evil Energy Beer] after it went on the market. The bright green liquid was really shocking, and it was loved by young people in Longmen once it was released.

Whether it is the strange green color that turns into the mouth after drinking it, or the weird flavor and low alcohol content, it is a style that young people love.

Xingxiong is naturally also a young person, so she will occasionally come to have a bottle, and add a few side dishes from her hometown, whether it is grilled squid silk or dried radish, this is the best pastime.

Looking at the sky, Hoshiguma once heard that the stars in the sky are not real stars, but if they are not, what are they?

She doesn't know, but she knows that the starry sky is still beautiful now, and that's enough.

She drank the beer in her hand one gulp at a time. She was very easy to get drunk without appetizers. After a few bottles, she actually felt groggy.

I'm too lazy to go back to my room, so let's just leave it at that.

As soon as the thought came together, the body immediately lost all strength, and Hoshiguma just fell asleep blowing the spring wind.

Chapter 1145 Probe

"It's very ordinary there, it seems to be worse than where we lived before."

"That's not for sure. You were the property of the mine owner before, but the slave he bought with money will be distressed if he dies too quickly."

Hoshiguma opened her eyes sleepily, she had already forgotten why she slept in such a place, but she slept well this time, and slept until dawn without any strange dreams.

Then I saw two guerrilla fighters joking with each other there, no, it has turned into a fight now.

"Ha, if you say something like that again, I'll beat you up!"

"Hey, hey, I didn't say anything, why did you beat me up!"

Ignoring the two good comrades who were scheduled to go to confinement together, Hoshiguma also stood on the edge of the deck and looked into the distance.

It was built with all kinds of discarded garbage... It can't be called a town, it can only be called a gathering place.

Even the slums in Longmen are a hundred times stronger than here.

It's just that Hoshiguma didn't see any human figures in this gathering place, it was empty and dead, and once the wind blew, several shacks that were forcibly assembled together turned into countless rubbish and flew into the distance.

In her opinion, this gathering place has been dead for a long time, so where did the people inside go?

Originally, according to Morrison's plan, the Enterprise was going to be docked at a slightly further distance, in order not to cause unnecessary panic.

But since the place is dead silent and there is no one to be seen, the Enterprise is heading straight there. It would be a good thing if a few survivors jump out at this time, so that they can understand a little bit what happened here. what.

It's a pity that until the Enterprise docked at the edge of the gathering place, everything was still silent, without any movement, but the wind pressure driven by the Enterprise blew away several shacks.

A normal person would be terrified of such a scene, and that was the end of everything.

According to the idle wolf, there should be thousands of infected people here, why did they all disappear without a trace?

Various possibilities flashed through Morrison's mind, and he finally decided to go investigate one or two.

Before stepping off the Enterprise, the guerrilla technicians first measured the source stone content in the air with instruments. Although the result was much higher than the normal area, considering that this place was originally a mining area, the concentration was not high. It's amazing.

Even a normal person would have to stay here for at least ten days before being infected. However, for safety reasons, Morrison and the other soldiers who were about to leave the cabin still wore masks, which could resist most of the poisonous viruses. harmful gas.

For example... after the human body decays...

It was inevitable that Morrison would think so. He didn't see any graves around him. If people were alive, it would be fine, but if they were all dead, where were those corpses?

If you want to see people, if you want to see dead bodies, the Rem Billiton guerrillas must find out the people here. Some of the guerrillas were dug out of the cold pit by the International, and there is a large Some of them were the witnesses of the tragedy. Although they were lucky not to be buried under the mine, they suffered more serious ore disease infections.

If the international gave up halfway, these guerrillas would either end up in the mines or become beasts whose brains had been eroded by origin stones, wandering in the wilderness, or be euthanized.

The international approach has long been engraved in their hearts, that is, never give up hope until the last moment.

Several teams were quickly formed. Morrison, Hoshiguma and three other guerrilla fighters were formed into a team. They will be responsible for the exploration of the central area and go all the way to Huanglong.

These shacks were not obstacles at all, not to mention the tall Hoshiguma, even relatively short guerrillas could easily push them down with their hands, just need to be careful not to be scratched by some debris.

However, no matter the periphery or the center, there are no traces of human existence in any of the areas, and a thick layer of dust has long accumulated in all the shacks.

Even considering that there are far more flying sand and rocks on the Ursus wasteland than in the city, the dust here can be seen that there is no trace of any human activities here for at least a few days, but the footprints of some small animals can be seen.

The strangest thing is that there are no traces of fighting here, nor are there any bloodstains or corpses, as if they all disappeared.

"This is really strange..." a guerrilla exclaimed, "Where have all the people here gone?"

"Could it be that everything has been withdrawn?"

"Probably not, not to mention that there are no other cities in a large area around, and the fleeing team of thousands of people should have left some traces, but we didn't find any traces around when we came."

"It's not that I didn't find it, but I didn't look for it at all. It should be too late for other people to look around for traces of human migration."

Several guerrillas were discussing, uttering hypotheses one by one and denying the hypotheses themselves.

If you remove all the impossible answers, the one remaining, however bizarre, must be the truth.

Morrison contacted the Enterprise and asked them to split up their staff to look around for other clues, while they planned to stay here and explore in another way.
