The Fantastical Beasts at World's End

The large army moving slowly towards the south of the city encountered four groups of people along the way, and three of them came from the surrounding residential areas. There were not many people, only a dozen or so, and they said that there might be some people Because I didn't know that the fog outside had dissipated, I still hid at home and didn't come out.The other group came out of the underground warehouse of a large supermarket. There were more people. There were more than 100 people in total.Because of the influx of these people, the team has become bigger again.

People here travel on weekdays, most of them drive by themselves or take buses and subways, and they only walk when they go to places that are very close.Their estimation of the distance from the hospital to the city hall is based on the time required for traveling by car, so there are obviously some errors.Because there are patients with limited mobility and elderly people with poor walking, their speed is much slower than the normal pace, and they will rest for a while after each walk, so the time spent on such a distance is much longer than they imagined.

Until the sky began to dawn, they were still some distance away from where the government was.However, the environment with bright light is indeed different from the feeling brought by darkness. Even if the sky is only a little bit, it makes people involuntarily excited a lot.However, the excitement is still mixed with worries and fears.

I was afraid that after they had traveled such a long distance, when they actually reached their destination, they would still see uninhabited ruins.After all, this is not a regional disaster. Everywhere is too busy to take care of itself. No one will have the extra energy to lend a helping hand to a certain place. However, the disaster is too destructive. The government is not much special than other places. Even public officials After escaping this disaster, where should we find enough resources and manpower to rescue the people?

However, these worries will not hinder their progress. After all, the people have been accustomed to this system for so many years. Asking the government for help when I can’t find a way forward is probably a kind of deep-rooted trust, because those trivial and complex disappointments are based on a larger and countless hope, but the flaws are always bigger than the achievements. The warm blue color of the background is more eye-catching.

Just when the old people in the crowd were walking more and more slowly, some children started crying again, and everyone decided to rest on the spot for a while, there was the sound of large cars driving from a distance, and there were more than one of them. In the city where all kinds of sounds have become extraordinarily quiet, it seems a bit abrupt, but it is like the sound of nature to the ears of the gathered people!

The people who were just about to sit on the ground jumped up almost instantly, then climbed to the ruins of a collapsed building not far away, looked at it for a while, and excitedly said to this side: "There are cars! There are more than a dozen cars! It seems It belongs to the army!"

People burst into cheers, feeling that the night of horror can finally be settled!Soldiers, at times like these, symbolize life saviors and hope.

Many excited people stood on the heights of the ruins, put their hands over their mouths, and shouted over there: "Here! We are here!"

Five minutes later, nearly twenty military trucks covered with dark green canvas tents stopped in front of everyone.

Ye Zhao raised his eyebrows when he saw the car, with a surprised expression: "So many..."

"Yo." Nie Renyan glanced around, "Eighteen cars, much better than expected."

In such a foggy sky, there are not even a few houses left. Where are they parked? How can there be so many intact cars with almost no paint peeling off? !

In doubt, he saw a person getting off from the leading car. He had dark skin and was wearing a camouflage uniform. The belt on his shoulders made him appear to have broad shoulders and a narrow waist.Following closely behind him, all the people who got off from each vehicle quickly formed a square team with strict discipline and meticulousness.When the heels are close together, there is a "snap", which makes people feel refreshed.

"We have received an order to transfer everyone to the temporary residence." The person at the head explained and walked towards this side. He was obviously a little surprised to see so many survivors, and said, "Where are you from?" Where did you come from?" He casually clicked on a few residential areas around him, "These neighborhoods?"

"No." The few people closest to him explained: "Most of us walked all the way from the South Street Hospital in District L, there are about [-] of them, and there are nearly [-] people in the residential area opposite the South Street Hospital. On the way over, I met about a hundred people."

"Yeah." The man nodded and asked again: "Are there no other survivors in your community?"

Several people around said in a hurry: "It's not very clear. We didn't see anyone else when we left, but there should be some alive."

"Understood." He put the hat he had been holding on to his head again, adjusted it, gave a military salute, and then said: "Sorry, we are a bit late. Because we have to continue to search for other survivors, There aren’t enough cars, so I feel sorry for everyone to squeeze.” He turned around, ran back to the soldiers lined up in the square formation behind, assigned a task, and soon the soldiers divided into three teams to act—the first team had more people Scattered to several surrounding areas, a group of people including the lieutenant colonel turned over and gathered in the six vehicles in front, and the remaining soldiers organized the surviving people to board the vacated twelve vehicles.

Ye Zhao and the others got into the car at the end of the line, and it was already packed to the brim. Several people were sitting near the rear of the car. After they got into the car, two soldiers turned over and sat at the back Keep everyone safe.

After everyone sat down, the car started slowly. It was very bumpy and wobbly on the road that was no longer smooth. The people who stayed up all night finally couldn't hold on, and fell asleep relying on each other amidst the bumps.

Jiang Qi put her arms around the cat, watched the car turn around, and drove along the road when these cars came. She was a little curious, so she reached out and poked the arm of the soldier sitting next to him, and asked, "That... Where are we going? Is there still a house that can live in? Hasn’t it been melted by the fog?”

The soldier nodded: "Go to our base. There are basically no problems with the houses there, but it will be a bit crowded if there are too many people living there. But new ones are being built, and the food is self-sufficient. Don't worry."

This is very strange.They walked all the way from the hospital, and along the way they saw almost no houses that could still be used. Even if they didn’t collapse, they were full of cracks, or the walls were corroded so thin that they seemed to be broken by a gust of wind.But according to what the soldier said, their base was obviously not just barely livable. How thick did it have to be to survive in such a thick fog and still serve as a safe place to live? !

"You go all the way to search for the living people?" Nie Renyan leaned his body halfway, with his elbows on his knees, and asked the soldier, "How many did you find?"

"Most of our entire base came out and searched along the way in different directions. Because the signal has not been restored, I don't know how the other teams are doing. Our team searched all the way before and only found three surviving vehicles. Those who have been sent back, you are the biggest team we have encountered."

Several people chatted with the two soldiers all the way. Some of them talked a lot, and some of them stopped talking after a few simple sentences, probably related to discipline.

From their mouths, Ye Zhao and the others probably learned something: after the government found that the fog this time was more difficult than before, it worked with the military to formulate several plans for different post-disaster situations.Halfway through, when the situation of the fog was completely out of control, they directly launched the final plan, which was used to deal with the worst situation.After the fog cleared, the government reconnected with the military, and found that their base was not damaged in the fog, and could be used as a temporary residence for the surviving people, so they quickly arranged for people to carry out the rescue, because all the signals were cut off in the fog , The transmission of information is very inconvenient, so the rescue operation was delayed for a long time.

The car drove for nearly two hours in bumps, and the scenery along the road was constantly changing, from dilapidated buildings with different heights, to low houses, and then fewer and fewer buildings, and more and more trees. There are many, the mountains on both sides are constantly rising and falling, and it seems that they are going to go deep into the mountains.

What is really surprising is not only the remote location of the base, but also some farmhouses hidden in the mountains and forests that keep flashing along the way. There are some flowers on the walls, and some mess on the roof. It is almost impossible to see that it has been ravaged by white fog!

The car circled up a mountain all the way, turned around at a fork, followed a downward road, and drove towards a valley covered by layers of forest.

The people in the car woke up one after another, watching in a daze that the car finally drove out of the mountain road, turned into a yard, and stopped on a flat field similar to a playground.Looking from the car, except for the flat ground under your feet, you can only see green, green, gray green, dark green, emerald green, dark green...all the words that can be used to describe green are not exaggerated here.Layer after layer of trees, in different shades of color, surrounded them.

The two soldiers at the back of the car jumped down, and then stood under the car, watching everyone get off the car in an orderly manner, occasionally helping to pick up children and the elderly, or stepping up some people who were not very good at getting out of the car.

After getting out of the car, the field of vision widened. People stood by the car and saw the rows of well-arranged houses hidden in the dense forest at a glance, and then their jaws dropped in shock—those houses were simple and refreshing, even the walls were painted The light green shades harmoniously with the mountains and forests. Most importantly, there are almost no traces of corrosion, whether it is the surrounding trees or the houses in them!
