Dust was flying in the air, and Charles couldn't stand this environment. People from the barrier area in the eastern guard station could be seen everywhere. Many of them really looked like insects.
This is the unanimous view of most people in the upper level towards the people in the barrier area. Soon a large truck stopped with 12 seats inside. Charles took the protective equipment sent by a director and put it on.
After getting on, I got into the truck.
Many of the directors of Section 3 felt quite fresh about Charles' arrival. Locke and Angus sat in the back seat with Charles. The truck started. As it drove out across the Weeping Bridge, Charles glanced at the road below.
ravine.
This is the first time Charles has set foot on this land since he was born, and why he came here is because he just wants to hear Locke's opinion, because Locke must have a purpose for letting him come to see it.
Charles also knows it well, because their Abelon family is currently the main force in urban furniture products. Many of the furniture are real objects, not using light and shadow materials, but new furniture materials, including metal, stone and plastic products.
They are all the main force.
The reason why Charles came to see it was because he wanted to talk about investment, because the base in the barrier area was being established. Once the house was built, a large amount of furniture would be needed as supporting facilities. This was Locke's purpose, but Charles still planned to wait and see.
Let’s talk about it next time.
Although he had thought about investing in the project, Charles was indeed extremely worried because the risk was too high and the investment cost was too high.
The car started to get bumpy, and Charles looked silently at the barrier area where things could barely be seen outside. From time to time, people could be seen passing by, and a faintly visible road leading to the southern guard station was being built.
"It's incredible."
Locke smiled.
"They live in the barrier zone all year round, and this little bit of wind and sand is their daily routine."
Charles has already felt the cold. Although he has been wrapped in thick protective clothing, he can still feel the coolness. Being able to survive in such an environment with more than 7 million people seems really too great for Charles.
It's too incredible.
"Charles, how do you feel?"
Avano asked, and he smiled helplessly.
"I can only say that it really shocked me."
Seeing that this road has begun to take shape, there are a large number of people and vehicles parked on both sides of the road. It looks like it has been there for a while. There are also some temporary wooden houses, many of which are close to each other, but it still looks like it is still there.
It's fragile.
Sure enough, within a short while, Charles saw a shed falling apart in the fierce wind and sand. A group of people were busy dealing with it. Soon, several mutants took back the large materials that had been blown away and fixed them on the ground.
on the ground.
"Does this happen every day?"
Charles asked and Locke nodded.
"Mr. Locke, I probably know what you want me to see."
A tall wall appeared in front of me. Workers were standing on the edge of the wall. In the distance, the wall being built could also be seen. The car drove smoothly behind the wall, and the wind and sand suddenly became much lighter.
Charles saw the planting base in the distance, where a separation wall had been built. There were many partially built facilities inside, and many of them looked a little crooked.
"It is too difficult to build against such violent sandstorms."
Charles said, although he was just looking at the wind and sand outside the window, after observing for a while, Charles probably knew that the wind speed was most likely to exceed one hundred kilometers.
After Charles got out of the car with a group of people, he looked around and saw that many workers were taking shelter from the wind. Many of them looked exhausted. However, there were bursts of mechanical sounds from the other side, and it could be seen that many people were still there.
While working in the wind and sand, Charles listened to the introduction of a member of the 12th Section Directorate who came over and followed him.
The scene before him made Charles extremely surprised. Many people in the barrier area were working hard, which seemed impossible to Charles.
"We can't invest alone, Charles."
Avano spoke, and Charles nodded. The base outside the barrier was still under construction, and people from Section 12 were also involved in the work. However, the number of people was too small. Without a large amount of investment, this proposal would not be possible quickly.
stand up.
"I'll think about it."
As Charles said, a group of people were walking around. Charles noticed many children who were carrying rocks and soil, and they all looked at them curiously. Without exception, these children were somewhat malnourished.
"If you think the risk is too high, you can make a small amount of investment first. This bill is in urgent need of investment. Although there are previous donations, for such a bill, a few hundred million is just a drop in the bucket and more work.
The deployment of personnel is also a problem.”
Regarding Avano's words, Charles couldn't be more clear. The risks of this bill have been clearly seen. There is no need to look at anything else. Because of the harsh conditions, many newly built things have become dilapidated. To survive in such harsh conditions
Working in an environment that is too harsh.
Maybe something that was built with great effort today may have problems the next day.
Then Charles followed a group of people to the agricultural breeding base. As soon as he entered, Charles felt that it was too warm. But at a glance, he saw that many of the cultivated crops were of different sizes, and few of them could grow normally.
growing.
It is almost impossible for the proposal to succeed. Charles has already been confident in his heart. The actual investment is just because of his daughter's relationship, and it is a symbolic investment.
Soon the group got on the truck and looked at the many people from the barrier area who came to watch. Charles looked at them with a very strong light, which was hope.
Bathed in the sunshine again, it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon. After the truck stopped, Locke suggested going to a nearby bar for a drink. The group entered the bar of the Southern Guard Station. There were many people from Section 3 at this spot.
"How does it feel."
Locke asked again, and Charles hummed.
"I just think it's incredible. Will the sun really shine on that land in the future?"
No one can answer Charles's question because the hope is slim.
"Thank you very much for today, Mr. Charles, could you come with me and have a look."
Locke held up the beer in his hand, and Charles took a sip. He felt vaguely uneasy, or thought of something.
At nearly 5 o'clock, Charles returned to his mansion. He took a comfortable bath. Everything he saw in the barrier area was lingering in his mind. Then Charles walked towards the backyard and came to his wife's house.
In front of the tomb, Charles sat quietly in a small pavilion, looking at the sea of ​​flowers around him.
Everything in the Barrier Zone reminded Charles of his wife. Freya had made a very important decision in the past, which led to the rapid development of medical care in the city. Now everyone in the city can afford medical care.
, with the exception of some stubborn illnesses.
Charles thought of more things. The decision Freya made had indirectly led to the survival of the people in the barrier area. It can be said that everything in the barrier area was created by Freya and continues to this day.
Freya has been to the Barrier Zone many times. What Charles is thinking about now is that his wife’s original decision seemed crazy to many people because she wanted to use people from the Barrier Zone for drug trials and various new medical trials.
But they were able to get free medicine, water and food and survived in that dark land.
But now there is a connection point in all this. Charles's heart is very confused. He doesn't know why after seeing the barrier area, more and more words that his wife said in the past are coming to his mind, and
It's becoming clearer and clearer.
The investment in the establishment of an agricultural base in the barrier zone this time may be due to his wife's relationship, because Freya said that one day the land will be better.
A figure from far away came towards this side, and Charles stood up with a smile.
"Why did you come back so early today?"
Seeing his daughter approaching with a solemn expression, Charles leaned over and put his arm around her shoulders.
"Why did you go to the bottom and the barrier area."
"Have you seen the report?"
Michelle nodded, walked to her mother's grave, lowered her head and remained silent for a while.
"Mr. Locke invited me there, and Mr. and Mrs. Angus are also there, regarding investment issues."
Michelle glanced at Charles and asked.
"What do you think?"
Charles shook his head.
"The risk is too high."
After Michelle sat down, Charles walked over.
"I can't take the whole family on an adventure."
Michelle nodded.
"I just came back to ask you why you were willing to go down."
