Chapter 71 The Embankment

"Look, the lake over there has overflowed the embankment."

Lao Lan stood on the top of the armored vehicle and pointed to a corner far to the west with his finger. I took his telescope and looked towards the place he pointed at. But there was nothing over there.

I couldn't see any buildings or trees, nor could I see anything moving. In the direction I was looking, there was only a thick fog and black clouds, which seemed to cling to the northern and western parts of the city, even if they were

They will not be driven away easily even in the strong winds of winter.

"I didn't see anything..." I said.

"Hell, we can't see the situation on the other side at all right now." Wei Lao, who was holding a gun and looking dazed, added: "Since last night, the weather over there has become very abnormal.

.Hey, I can’t even see the buildings over there!”

"If you can find a pair of glasses that fit you, it might work," I complained.

"Okay, okay!" I applauded myself, and then spoke to the air like a call: "Check your equipment, we will set off in a minute!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not a good idea to go forward against the wind now." Wei Lao covered the corner of his hood and shouted in the cold wind with difficulty.

"Now is the high tide period in the southern state. If you ask me, in another week, if the sea wall is not raised, a large part of Xicheng District will be soaked by the sea water." I answered depressedly, even though my face was

No expression.

"High tide? This is not a saltwater lake! What does the sea water have to do with this season?" said the former.

"I'm referring to the dam of the central lake. The city will release water every time there is a water shortage to maintain the amount of fresh water in the lake." I tried to over-interpret this incomprehensible explanation. But strangely enough, this city used to

The high tide is only a slight rise in sea level, and it cannot overflow the river embankment in the city. But now, the embankment in Xicheng District has been covered with water.

"It must have been that missile that blew up the dam. The dam originally used to store fresh water in the city leaked..." Lao Lan said in a semi-entertaining tone from the side.

"Okay, now, if the temperature in Xicheng District really drops below zero, the lake might freeze." I patted my head and added:

"Nonsense, there have been enough strange things lately."

White smoke was still rising from the corner of my mouth, and the temperature in the air was now almost below zero. As long as I entered the peninsula, I could see snowflakes falling on the other side.

We were able to go to the new city despite the biting cold wind, which was completely helpless. First, because food and energy are really important to us. Before that abnormal black cloud covered the entire city, I didn’t want to freeze alive like this.

Die on the street. Secondly, a group of us do not have a fixed residence at all, and it is not safe. People need to spend a week to prepare materials, and then they have to decorate their residence into a fortress. But in the city, there is no

There is no such abode that is pervasive.

That's why we take risks and travel around.

I know this is ridiculous, but most people will not easily go to a place where bad weather persists and there are few people. I guess most of the living people in this city are almost dead, and the rest can still breathe.

People should also stay at home until they run out of food and energy before leaving the house.

But under such circumstances, it is very dangerous to go out. Outside are a group of savage looters and dangerous armed robbers, wearing dirty clothes and armed with lethal blunt weapons or sharp knives. These people

Hiding in the dark, his eyes are still full of embarrassment, like a poisonous snake hiding in a dark and humid place, ready to seize unsuspecting prey that is passing by in its mouth.

Okay, I really want to complain about this statement, because snakes all hibernate in winter.

Generally speaking, due to emergencies in the first half of the month, including the blockade of urban areas and an inexplicable small-scale local epidemic, the city has become very gloomy. There is no life at all on the streets (even

There are very few rats), and the food sources of civilians basically rely on robbing and hoarding food. Once it is used up, it is really used up. Under the logistics blockade, the resources in the city are completely consumables.

You can even change your appetite by eating wild vegetables. Of course, this method is not impossible, at least I haven't eaten fresh vegetables for a week.

I don’t want to be too exaggerated. The situation at this time is really funny. Civilians are dying almost every day. Yesterday, I only saw a few bags of garbage on the street. Today, there are several corpses of civilians lying inexplicably. Maybe they came from somewhere.

Individuals who were thrown from the floors of other households may have died due to being attacked when going out. Of course, there were also those who froze to death, but this was not the majority.

Some people may ask, where have the guardians of this city gone? I will naturally answer: No. Although I will not show an expression of loss or sadness on my face, I will not. At this time, everyone is protecting themselves.

You have never thought about who you want to protect your safety. The person who said he would protect you one second may stab you in the back the next second, and then take away the last bit of survival supplies that originally belonged to you.

.Including living expenses.

Money is never a bad thing.

Therefore, whether people want to stay at home or not, their food sources are very scarce, and food is more important to people than fun. Some large families who hoard food, whether voluntarily or due to government requirements, will do so.

They block the door of their own home, and in order to prevent thugs from looting, they will also block the block and even nail boards on the doors and windows of their home to prevent anyone from breaking in.

At night, when someone sees faint lights or fires coming from a gloomy apartment building, it is very likely that that family will suffer misfortune that night.

While missiles and plagues have drastically reduced the city's population, people seem to be even more reluctant to go out, which is good. A city that originally only had a population of 500,000 would hardly be able to gather even 100 people for a party now.

"I see the embankment."

When Yana said this, we had already arrived near the river embankment of the peninsula, which is close to the central lake of the city and facing the central island. Here, the view will be wider, and the scenery will be completely different from that in the city.

, there are palm trees that are close to the tropics, as well as greenery and trees in the monsoon climate. While admiring the coastline scenery, you can also see fishermen fishing in the freshwater lake on the other side.

Although this period is still closed to fishing...
