Chapter 1,416 Countdown to Collapse: The Farthest Distance Part 2(1/3)
4:39 am
On the originally peaceful land in the barrier area, large amounts of dust and sand were rising. A convoy was approaching the northern guard station. Many members of Section 3 who were still near the temporary shacks became alert, and many members of the barrier who were still having dinner together.
The people in the district looked over, and many people knew that it was Agata who was coming.
Dozens of cars and motorcycles moved towards this direction, but the marching team stopped one kilometer away from the northern guard station.
On the convoy headed by it, there is a flag fluttering in the breeze, with a pattern of red tide surging on the white background. This armed force named Crimson Tide is currently the largest armed force in the barrier area, and its number has exceeded
There are thousands of people, managing many places in the north, and their stronghold is near the Alatan Ula Mountains.
"Everyone get out of the car and collect your own supplies."
Following Agata's order, the people on the cars and motorcycles all got off, and a group of people started walking away talking and laughing. Agata smiled and glanced at the shimmering city directly opposite.
Her gaze only stayed for a second before she jumped down.
All Red Tide people have a red armband on their arms. Red Tide people do not cause trouble on weekdays. They are very quiet every time they receive food. They are also kind to the people who manage the area and are more like a local security management organization.
Most of the criminals living in the barrier area have basically accepted their fate. Agata is walking among the crowd, with a few of his close men following Agata. Everyone is talking and laughing, and few people will raise their heads to look.
In front of you is this dimly lit city.
Soon Agata walked to a messy table and sat down. Many people nearby took the initiative to get out of the way. Agata comfortably grabbed the leftover food leftovers on a plate and stuffed it in.
He kept his mouth shut until he finished eating all the leftover food on the plate, then handed the plate to his subordinates.
"Hurry up and get me some food and wine. You bastards are such a waste."
Agata said as she looked around at the people chatting, laughing, eating and drinking. Most of them were talking about where they would go in the next few days, how to repair the dilapidated houses, etc. Few people would
Pay attention to the brilliant city next to it.
"If you take the initiative to admit your crimes, you can go back to the city!"
A team leader from Section 3 looked at the new group of people and started shouting in the crowd. Many people just smiled, some lowered their heads habitually, some still had panic on their faces, but no
Anyone willing to admit their guilt.
"We are just piles of useless garbage in society. Even if we go back, we will still be garbage. Stop shouting, brother, and go to rest early."
Agata said, and many people around laughed. The team leader of Section 3 looked at the people around him with disdain.
"You ungrateful bastard criminals, this is an opportunity. If you don't know how to seize it, you will have to live in this dark frozen land for the rest of your life. We only give it to you for free out of humanitarianism.
Distribute food, you..."
"Okay, okay, there's no point in arguing with these scum."
Several team captains came over and tried to persuade him, and Agata burst into laughter.
"Yes, we are scum, scum who like to eat leftovers!"
There was laughter all around again. Agata took a look and stood at the northern guard station on the edge of Montenegro. The main entrance is only a few hundred meters away. It only takes 1 kilometer to enter the city through the northern guard station. There is a road outside.
Lively streets.
Agata watched a little absently, but soon followed the aroma of the food, she put out the cigarette butt, turned around and picked up the wine handed over by her subordinates, took a big gulp, and a hot feeling instantly came over her.
It burns from the throat to the stomach. The low-quality wine provided by this kind of business is made with alcohol and water. It has a high alcohol content and a very strong taste. It will definitely give you a splitting headache the next day.
It's just that Agata has gotten used to it, and everything no longer matters. Most people living in the barrier zone have already made their choice. This choice is helpless and powerless, because everyone knows that they can never go back.
That land under the sun is already another distant and unreachable world for the people in the barrier area.
The rumble of the engine sounded, and a large truck drove slowly towards this side. There were several small dilapidated cars around. Soon several members of Section 3 went over to stop the truck.
It stopped a few hundred meters away from this temporary camp.
Soon the people on the truck got off. These dilapidated vehicles and motorcycles were all discarded in the barrier area under the city management system in the past, because most cars require costs to dismantle and recycle materials. Most cars
The manufacturing company will charge the car owner a disposal fee and throw the car directly into the barrier zone as garbage.
Many of the cars used by people in the barrier area are modified and spliced together, and they look strange. In particular, the roofs of many cars have been removed, because it does not rain here, and there is no need for sunshade. The removed roofs
It is a very good windproof material.
This small convoy looked like a small armed force, with less than 30 people. Agata squinted at the group of guys walking by. Agata immediately saw that these guys were mutants.
The leader, a burly man whose face was covered tightly with a veil, was walking with a limp, and many people around him were talking and laughing.
"Get me some food and wine first."
The man's voice was rich, and his subordinates quickly followed suit. At this time, the man took off his veil, and Agata was a little surprised.
"Boss Potter, I didn't expect you to come to the barrier area."
As soon as Agata finished speaking, the two groups looked at each other. Porter looked at the one-armed woman who was drinking and seemed to be reminiscing, because she did look familiar.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Agata!"
Porter looked at the woman in front of him with some surprise. The two were already old acquaintances. When Porter was still hanging out at the bottom, this Agata was famous for her vicious methods. Porter limped over.
"What's wrong with you, Boss Potter."
Potter smiled and shook his head.
"It's hard to put it into words."
Agata took the initiative to hand over the wine in her hand. Porter took it over and took a sip, looking helplessly at the Brilliant City opposite.
Agata was wanted for a serious violent homicide in the past, and it was Porter who provided her with asylum.
The two started chatting, and Potter also bluntly said that he was sent to a secret research base under the Black Mountain in prison. When he was about to become a living experimental subject, a riot happened in the city, and a guy saved them, so
They escaped.
"Have you reached this point? Xingke!"
Agata smiled and took out a cigarette and handed one to Porter. Soon Porter's men also brought food and drink, and the two started drinking together.
"The city can never go back. I plan to go to the south. Judging from your appearance, you should have already built up your own power."
Agata laughed.
"Would you like to come to our Red Tide, Boss Potter?"
Potter shook his head.
"No need, I have my own plan! If you want to live a stable life in this place, you can only use force to establish order. It seems that you have been quite successful."
Porter said as he glanced at Agata's empty left arm. Agata was pressing her sleeve with one hand.
"I must get it back one day."
Agata said, and Porter asked with a serious expression.
"How to ask for it?"
"You can come to our place as a guest when you have time. We can talk about Boss Potter in detail."
Agata said, and Porter nodded after thinking for a while.
"That's all for today."
Agata's expression showed sadness, and she pinched her sleeves, as if she had remembered something bad.
"Let's have a nice drink today!"
Porter said and picked up the wine bottle. Agata came back to her senses. The two bottles of wine touched each other. Several of his subordinates brought over some more wine. Looking at Agata in front of him, Porter said:
At this moment, Porter looked back at the Brilliant City. It was very clear to Porter that although he still had the slightest illusion, he sneaked back into the city from behind.
Porter also has a top-secret small treasury in the city. He can still survive by relying on the black gold he caught in the past, but the moment he saw Agata, the last hope in Porter's heart was shattered.
In the past few months in the barrier zone, Porter has gone from being uncomfortable at the beginning to being completely adapted now. Even Porter is very surprised that he can actually eat other people's leftovers and can continue to do so.
I didn't take a shower for half a year, and even ate, drank, and defecated in the same room.
While escaping, Porter's leg was broken directly by Jean. With the lack of medical conditions in the barrier area, Porter endured for two months before finally setting off to the guard station to collect food and receive medical treatment. However, due to the delay in treatment,
Porter will be disabled for the rest of his life, unless he goes to the city to receive better corrective surgery, but this requires Porter to admit all his crimes. Porter knows very well that he cannot go back, and he will die if he goes back.
The people who escaped from the research base under the Black Mountains in the north were all former prisoners in prison. They already knew the secrets of Congress and had no future.
"It's been very uncomfortable, Mr. Potter, these past few months."
Agata said with a smile, and Porter nodded.
