Catastrophe

In the process of leaving the city, the transport team still walked through the underground tunnel.

Revisiting the old place, Ning Zhe no longer had the shock and anxiety when he entered the tunnel for the first time. Instead, Hu Yihan, the dragon, the tiger, and the leopard were curious about everything outside.

Seeing their appearance, Ning Zhe couldn't help laughing. It turns out that people are curious and nervous about the unknown, whether it's a refugee entering the city or a fortress leaving the city.

When the convoy reached the exit of the tunnel, the searchlights on the wall turned on, and several cameras locked the position of the convoy.

"Boom!"

With the loud noise, the gears on the walls on both sides began to rotate, straightening a row of steel cables the thickness of an adult's arm, and the shooting holes on both sides of the wall opened immediately, revealing the sentry machine gun with a camera inside to prevent it. Someone took the opportunity to infiltrate the city gate.

As the gears continued to bite, the gate slowly rose, and the light from the outside also shone into the inside of the door.

"Woo! Woo!"

The sentry car at the forefront waited for the city gate to open halfway, and then pulled its whistle twice in a row and drove out of the city first.

When the sunlight outside the city swayed in the cockpit of the land fortress, Ning Zhe's vision also brightened again.

Desolate and lifeless.

The snow in a large area has not yet melted, and the main road is also muddy. There are several corpses of beggars near the root of the city wall. They must have been frozen to death last night. There is no kind-hearted person to help them.

A few hours ago, Shi Cong said to Ning Zhe that returning to the refugee area would make him uncomfortable. Ning Zhe had not believed this before, but now he realized that he was wrong.

He has never forgotten how to live and survive in the refugee area, but for him, who has already lived in the most prosperous area of ​​the fortress, returning to the lifeless refugee area at this moment has created a feeling of depression out of thin air.

When he lived in a refugee area before, Ning Zhe never felt that there was anything wrong with the refugee area, but now that he has broadened his horizons, looking at this place, he has a different feeling in his heart.

Ning Zhe is like this, not to mention the other people who came to the fortress for the first time.

Hu Yihan looked at the low houses outside the city, the mother and son who were curled up with their young children on the roadside, frozen into sculptures, and the crooked, low buildings around, the corners of his mouth trembled twice: "This place, why, how... is it so backward?"

"Backward?" Ning Zhe smiled: "This area is the most prosperous area outside the fortress. Being able to move to this neighborhood is the dream of most refugees, and it is also a difficult goal to achieve."

Everyone was in an uproar. Their understanding of the refugees was limited to the rumored disease raging and beggars’ clothing. Whenever they thought of this, they would subconsciously compare them with the most barren shanty towns in the fortress, because before that, The shanty towns were the poorest places they had ever seen.

It was not until after witnessing it that these people discovered that the life in the refugee area was more dilapidated than they had imagined, and it was completely beyond their cognition.

While everyone was stunned, the voice of the security captain Mu Kun came from the walkie-talkie in the cab: "Minister Ning, I am Mu Kun, what should we do next?"

Ning Zhe put out the cigarette **** in his hand and picked up the walkie-talkie: "Leave the market town and camp on the edge!"

Mu Kun was a little puzzled: "We just left the fortress and camped directly?"

"It's nearly one o'clock now, and it will be dark in three or four hours. In this case, if we continue to set off, we will not be able to reach the next supply point at all. It is better than camping in a desolate desert late at night. Overnight here!"

"clear."

After Mu Kun received clear instructions, the sentry car in front of the team pulled its whistle again, and the team began to march along the muddy main road to the outside of the fortress.

As the vehicles moved, some people who set up stalls on the side of the road and ran small businesses began to break up and flee. Even if they couldn't escape, they would quickly run to the side of the street, facing the wall and standing with their backs to the team.

Cao Xinglong looked at the scattered and fleeing crowd, opened the car window and looked behind him.

"They didn't see a ghost, but they saw us." Fatty Li looked at the panicked refugees outside, as if he saw his own shadow: "For refugees, the fortresses are very scary, there is no law in this place, if they provoke the fortress If people are not pleasing to the eye, even if they are killed, they will die in vain, so they are all hiding from us, so as not to cause trouble!"

"Isn't it? That's how they see us?" Lin Bao looked at the refugees shrinking on the side of the road in disbelief: "We're not perverts, so why kill them?"

"There is a saying that there is no wind and no waves, and the fear of the refugees about the fortress is not born out of nothing! You are difficult to understand now, just because you have just come to this place and follow the laws in the fortress! When you find yourself in a law In other places, no one will hold you accountable no matter what you do, and when you can crush them, you will understand where their fears come from.

The market town is relatively safe. For the remote refugee gathering points, the people in the transport team are as terrible as the bandits. They rape, kill, and rob. They can only accept the reality, and the reality has taught them to be ostriches. When they encounter danger, they hide their heads and cover their eyes. "

Ning Zhe explained in a calm tone, and then picked up the walkie-talkie again: "Everyone, listen to me, from now on until the end of our mission, it is not allowed to disturb the refugees for no reason. Any illegal behavior will be punished after returning to the fortress. I was handed over to the company and sent to court! ~www.readwn.com~ who seriously affected the order of the transportation team will be executed according to the emergency command authority given to me by the company."

"clear!"

"receive!"

"...!"

The voice of the answer came out one after another.

Different from the constantly developing fortress, the refugee area seems to be forever immutable. After the convoy left the market town, under the command of Ning Zhe, they chose a fairly flat plot to start camping.

Four hedgehog carts and four mine carts formed a simple fence, enclosing the land fortress at the center point, and the security guards of the convoy also got out of the car with guns to prevent the refugees from approaching, but in fact these new people's security practices are quite redundant, because the refugees It is absolutely not close to the team.

In the fortress, Fatty Li heated up a serving of quick-heat rice and sent it to Ning Zhe's room together with a box of canned food. While Ning Zhe was eating, he asked angrily, "Brother Zhe, we have already left the city. , when can I see Brother Pao and the others?"

Ning Zhe glanced at his watch: "There are many people in the daytime, so wait, let's set off after dark."
