Chapter 1911 People's Dependence
Going north along the Interstate Fifth Expressway, a large armed convoy entered Washington State from Oregon. The convoy included armored vehicles, and even had armed helicopters hovering overhead, making the security and defense tight.
In the convoy, Lena Focus pressed the button and gently lowered the heavy window of the bulletproof car to feel the storm from the outside. The guard in charge of her safety immediately stopped it in a deep voice: "Ms. Focus, it is dangerous for you to do this."
Yes, it's dangerous.
The wilderness in North America is currently full of dangers. Not only are mutant humans wandering around, but even the air contains viruses. Although Miss Fox has strong physical resistance, the guard still trusts the air filtering equipment that comes with the bulletproof car to avoid any danger.
Because there were slower armored vehicles in the convoy, Lena Focus was not very fast. She had to observe it as she passed through towns along the way.
However... the sight of it is not very pleasant.
In just one month, the farmland was abandoned, the open-air work was completely stopped, and people once again made a living by the food they had hoarded. This disaster was even more violent and dangerous, because the killer who took people's lives was hidden in the air they breathed and the water they drank.
"How long will it take to get to Seattle?" asked Lena Fox. She was on a cooperative visit to the Masonic community in Washington State, seeking to join the queue against Incree.
But President Franklin of the Freemason has been pushing for three or four. Now that the plague is rampant, the Aurora Legion's understanding of Seattle has also stagnated. The expatriates either withdraw or die, and it is difficult for the Aurora Legion to obtain real information from distant areas.
This time Miss Fox was preparing to have a good talk with the Freemasons in person, and was not allowed to continue to ride on the wall and watch. She had to squeeze out some oil and water from him. Zhou Qingfeng asked for "unity of all the forces that can be united". To put it bluntly, others were not allowed to be neutral.
Looking at the map and comparing the inertial navigation along the way, the guards gave the answer: "One hour left, we are actually close to the periphery of the Seattle City Circle."
A city's buildings can be destroyed by nuclear bombs, but the geographical environment on which a city relies on will not change easily. Seattle is still an important city in North America after the Cataclysm, and the Freemasons made their fortunes with this city.
However, after approaching the city circle, Miss Fox could not see any city's personnel activities. She thought she would see a human settlement area that was heavily guarded by the military and the epidemic and was difficult to enter. But in fact, the road to Seattle was very smooth and even a ghost could not be seen.
There were no citizens, no military police, no welcome team, everyone closed their doors, and even the radio signal in charge of contact was intermittent. The person who was the connector claimed to be the special assistant of the President of the Masonic, but he was powerless, confused, and confused.
It was so inexplicable that Lena Fox arrived at Seattle, the base camp of Masonic. When she got off the bus and stood in front of the Masonic Union Conference Building, she saw an empty building.
The legion personnel who were in charge of contacting in advance also became unknown, so they could only explain to Miss Fox: "When I contacted them three days ago, there were still people here."
Diplomacy in wasteland cannot be carried out in the normal way in the past. Now North America is hit by a fierce plague, so it is difficult to find someone.
"Go in and take a look." Lina Fox stood under the steps of the building and waved his hand. A group of soldiers in power armor immediately entered with guns. She herself walked casually on the street in front of the building, all over the place, devastated, and the city was quiet and quiet, and no one could see it.
There are signs of robbery in the city, and broken windows and doors can be seen everywhere. There are also a few bodies that can be seen on the road, which is really a shame. This also shows that the city is already in anarchy.
"Ms. Forks, you'd better stay in the car." The escort leader didn't want Lena Forks to wander around. "This city is so weird."
Lina Fox waved his hand indifferently and said calmly: "Don't worry too much, the situation is probably the opposite of what you think. This city is probably abandoned. People all escaped under some terrible threat."
After a while, the armored soldiers who searched for the Masonic headquarters building ran back with a clang. They also held a sloppy middle-aged man to Miss Fox and threw him heavily to the ground and said, "Madam, this guy tricked us on the radio."
The sloppy middle-aged man fell to the ground, neither panic nor happy. He looked up lazily at the armed personnel surrounding him, and finally set his eyes on Lena Fox.
"Ms. Fox, I really didn't expect you to come. It's a plague epidemic and it's not suitable for traveling far away. I always thought you were just talking. But I didn't lie to you, I am indeed the special assistant of the president."
The sloppy man stood up straight, but was still lazy. "You may have gone for nothing. There is no one here who can negotiate with you."
"What happened?" Lina Fox asked seriously, "I came to meet President Franklin as planned in advance. Where are the others?"
The Legion diplomats responsible for arranging this meeting also asked, "I met President Franklin three days ago. At that time, your situation was not as bad as it is now."
The sloppy man smiled bitterly, "You know that it was three days ago. A lot of things happened in the past three days. President..., I don't know where he went. Everyone in the city is running away. What you saw three days ago was the last group that escaped."
Before Lena Fox came, she learned that Seattle's airport was stopped and she could not fly directly. She was mentally prepared for the bad situation of Masonic, but the worst imagination was that Seattle was trapped in the chaos of social out of control. She never expected that the city was almost empty.
The Freemasonry is equivalent to natural collapse and collapse.
"You president always promised to meet me three days ago."
"He simply wanted to use the asymmetry of information to get some benefits from you, but he could not maintain the situation in the city. He could not maintain it for a minute and a second, so he disappeared. It is said that he went to Canada in North America and died halfway through the attack."
"Have all the people in your city gone there?"
"No one wants to stay in the city anyway, anyway, because a week ago the president made a speech criticizing David Lawrence, who thought swearing could improve his reputation, but a missile hit the Seattle Telecommunications Center that day.
Everyone in the city said that the missile was carrying the biochemical warhead, and the president immediately sent someone to block the telecommunications center. He regarded those people as infected and killed them all regardless of whether the telecommunications center had any problems.
But soon this so-called 'preventive' killing was out of control, and the scope of killing was rapidly expanded. When some of the military and police also developed some terrible diseases, the government could no longer control the situation, and disintegration and escape were inevitable."
"We're done, everything happens too quickly." The sloppy man said dejectedly, but Lina Fox could imagine the chaos and panic in the city at that time. The Freemasons always thought it was safe to stay away from the front line, but when people found that death was right in front of them, they were more likely to lose their minds.
Regarding the description of the sloppy man, Lina could only sigh a few times and comfort her: "Don't worry, we'll help you. We have developed vaccines and special drugs to fight the 'Incredible virus', and we have the ability to solve the current epidemic."
A simple passage, but it was like thunder trembling in the sloppy man's ears. He looked at Lena Fox in disbelief, with thousands of words surging in his chest but he didn't know what to say. His lips trembled and said, "Vaccine? Do you have a vaccine? Please, please..."
The verbal expression seemed not enough to express his strong desire. The sloppy man, despite the obstruction of the armored soldiers, simply knelt down and crawled towards Lena Fox, and said in a stuttering tone: "Help us, please help us, we have too many people in need of assistance.
I stayed in the headquarters building just to hope that miracles would happen. I didn’t expect you to really come. What do the Aurora Legion want? All the land will be given to you, the population will be surrendered, and the property will be yours. As long as we can save us, take away whatever we like.
We have had enough, we have had enough. Let this endless end of the world end, Victor Hugo just wants to be emperor, we have no objection, we really have no objection. We just want to live, we have no other requests."
The sloppy man cried loudly with tears in his nose and tears, and knelt on his hands and feet to beg. He was already desperate about this world and wanted to commit suicide to end his life, but he didn't expect that a savior would come at this time.
It seems that the residents of North America are really wandering and walking to the end of the cliff of despair. No one can withstand such repeated tossings. It is both natural disasters, man-made disasters, wars, and plagues. I am really fed up!
At this time, all cultural, ethnic, and ideological obstacles will go to hell. It doesn’t matter who is the ruler. Those who survive only want to live a peaceful life.
