Entering May
The sky is getting darker and darker. Many times in the morning there is no sunlight at all and the sky is gray. In the afternoon the sunlight will be slightly stronger.
Gerry quietly looked at the people of the Winter Guard who were still busy in front of him. They were trying to clean up the cars on the road that had been dismantled to only their frames. This place was more than 70 kilometers away from Winter City, and it was the last place they arrived.
Come from far away material recycling places.
This time Gerry came out with 200 people and dispatched 8 trucks, carrying reaction batteries that could travel at least 2,000 kilometers. Their main purpose this time was to go to the city to find some supplies.
There were more than 40 technicians among the 200 people, and Fred was among them. Many young people seemed very excited because they had been living in the cold winter city for a whole year. They were forced by life in order to survive.
I had to stay calm down, but now it is different. Many people are in a happy mood. Even though the world has been destroyed, many people want to take another look at the once civilized and glorious world.
Some of them are newcomers. They are responsible for leading the way. They are going to a big city more than 200 kilometers away from Winter City. There are many factories there. If you search around, you should be able to get a lot of things, especially
It is a metal wire, which is currently lacking in Winter City. As long as the place is determined, they will make several trips back and forth in an effort to get more supplies.
It was just after 12 o'clock in the afternoon, and the motorcade stopped. Everyone started to cook something to eat. They brought dried food. Just add water and some seasonings to the pot, and you can make a delicious pot.
food.
Fred is still discussing with the people in the technical department what specific items are needed. Some items are still being added to the long list. Among them, computer equipment is necessary, but the carrying capacity of 8 trucks is limited.
, we can only deliver some needed supplies back first.
"King Fred, it's time to eat."
Fred smiled awkwardly.
"Just call me Fred."
Although Fred said so, most people still use honorifics. Most people have adapted to this kind of life, especially Fred. Many people like him quite a lot. He is not like his sister Verla.
So serious, in the past few months of managing citizens' lives, many people have felt Fred's kindness.
Nowadays, many people can take one day off a week. Fred carefully planned all aspects of work in the city. Although it was difficult, he still arranged a timetable that would not bring the city to a standstill, and Vierra also approved it.
The only thing is that if there are special circumstances, no one will cancel their rest and must carry out their own part of the work every day.
The number of people in Winter City is almost over 50,000. Those who survived are constantly moving towards Winter City. There are people every day. They have met several groups of people on the way. Fred will explain to each other every time that Winter City
system, they used to be able to receive care, food and a place to rest.
Fred also shared some of the food with them, and many of them ran towards Winter City with great joy.
This seems to be a good sign to many people. A steady stream of people are passing by, and the city is still being developed. According to the plan drawn up by my sister, Winter City will receive at least 300,000 people. If it develops slowly like this, it will eventually become
A large city with a population of 1 million.
There is no need to worry about the current production capacity for the time being, but technological matters need to be carried out as soon as possible, especially the construction of greenhouses for crop fields, which is the first priority. Although many places can rely on manpower to do it, the efficiency is always low.
A large amount of materials must be found to realize mechanized work.
"King Fred, come over here."
Fred said, carrying a bowl of hot vegetable soup, walked to the side of the truck, and then climbed on, where Gerry was eating.
"According to the route, we will arrive at the earliest tonight. There should be a small town past here. Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Gerry asked and Fred said with a smile.
"That's fine with you, Mr. Gerry."
Gerry smiled helplessly.
"You must at least have some sense of being a king."
Fred shook his head helplessly.
Looking at the map, this town was 100 kilometers away from Winter City. Fred had been there before. It was a very ordinary town with a population larger than that of Winter City in the past, with about five to six thousand people.
"Didn't you go see it when you came?"
Gerry shook his head and said.
"When we came here before, something went wrong. Someone had entered the town in advance and launched an attack. We didn't want to conflict with them, so we had to keep walking."
"Then forget it, let's go directly to the city."
Gerry nodded. After eating, everyone rested for half an hour. The convoy continued to move. Now there were very few cars parked on the side of the road. The road became wider. Gerry stared quietly.
Everything around them, after a while, they came to the entrance of a town. The road sign was crooked to the side, and there were some dark red blood stains on it. There were several shriveled corpses at the entrance of the town.
"It's better to go in and take a look."
Fred said, and Gerry nodded. Then he brought 30 people with weapons and planned to go in. Fred also followed.
"King Fred, you still..."
"It's okay, I want to go in and have a look too."
The entrance road was about 2 kilometers long. A group of people walked in along the road and soon saw more corpses. There were shocking traces in many places.
When he came to the town, Fred swallowed a gulp. Everyone looked at what they saw in shock. A large number of bones were hung at the entrance of the town. Gerry walked over and confirmed that it was at least half a year or even
It was much longer ago.
Amidst the sound of the wind, the human skeletons that were hung up made rattling sounds. Gerry shouted several times, but no one answered. They walked around casually, and there were traces of crossfire everywhere.
The farmland next to the town had long since withered, turning the entire town into a wasteland. They found weapons that could still be used next to some corpses, but they didn't see any living people.
"If we continue to fight, it will end up like this."
Gerry muttered, and many people nodded. The reason why Gerry had not entered this town before was because when they came, there was already a fierce exchange of fire in the town. Although Gerry didn't know what the reason was, it was just
It was only the third day after the disaster occurred.
It can only be said that there are people who are more crisis-aware than Gerry and know what will happen if an effective shelter cannot be found at the beginning of a disaster.
There was no water and electricity in this town, let alone food. Then the group left and some weapons and ammunition were found in the town, although the amount was small.
The convoy continued on the road, with nearly 100 kilometers to go. Their speed was not very fast, and they would arrive at around 4 p.m.
Along the way, they met some people who knew the location of Winter City through radio, but Gerry did not allow Fred to give them some food, only gave them a little water, and told them that they just need to keep walking.
Arrive at Winterfell.
"By the way, Gerry, congratulations."
At this time, Fred said, Gerry became a little embarrassed, and several people in the car also snickered, because everyone knew that Gerry's wife Silly was pregnant and would give birth this winter at the latest. Gerry
She said thank you shyly.
Everyone was happy along the way, but when they were about to approach the city, the joy began to dissipate. Along the way, they saw many corpses and many charred humanoids on the ground. These were people who died after being infected with the annihilation virus.
What's left is that a huge city can be seen in front of you, but under the gray sky, the city doesn't look alive at all, and some buildings are dilapidated.
Along the way, you can see many traces, which are the last traces of human beings' existence in this world.
"We are approaching the city, be on alert!"
As Gerry said, the trucks slowed down one after another. Some Guardsmen got out of the car and started to stand guard on both sides of the trucks with weapons. There were people on the eight trucks holding sniper rifles looking around.
, according to people who have arrived in Winter City in the past few months, there are still people in this city, especially an organization called the Blood Alliance, which has hundreds of people.
The people in this organization do all kinds of evil in the city and do inhumane things. Many people who have escaped have mentioned it. There are also some small organizations that have a small number of people but are wandering everywhere.
Due to the epidemic and mutual fighting, this metropolis, which originally had a population of close to 2 million, was basically empty of people in just a few months.
Gerry looked at an old city map on a laptop and directed the convoy to go to the right. They needed to go to a manufacturing factory first. This was also their primary purpose here. They needed to bring back some pharmaceutical tools and medicines.
Raw materials.
At this time, in an eight-story building at the entrance to the city, several men and women with unkempt hair, dark spots on their cheeks, and some raised bumps on their skin stared at the advancing motorcade with cold eyes.
All have traces of being cut.
"That's the people from Winter City. They seem to be doing well. Let's go down and get ready to start hunting."
A burly man said, and the people behind him laughed coldly.
At this time, Gerry was still explaining some things that everyone needed to pay attention to. Although they did not encounter any problems now, Gerry was thinking that they might have been discovered, but if the other party attacked, his side would definitely be defeated.
You won't be polite.
The convoy slowly drove into the compound of the pharmaceutical factory that had been attacked. Many corpses could still be seen. Gerry immediately asked the guards to start checking around, and then arranged some snipers near the convoy.
Reid and the people from the technical department walked into the factory. It was a mess inside. There were a lot of pills scattered on the ground. It looked like the place had been ransacked. Several doctors started to pick up some pills on the ground and looked through the pill packaging boxes.
To be continued...
