This is an important transportation route connecting western Sichuan and southern Gansu.
Materials from western Sichuan are continuously transported to the northwest region through railways and highways, responsible for 40% of the material distribution in two large shelter areas in Lanzhou and Xining.
If this line is cut off, the two large shelter areas in the northwest region will definitely be in a state of shortage of supplies.
no way.
All provinces in the Central Plains must give priority to providing supplies to Kyoto and Liaodong battlefields.
As for the two large shelter areas, resources can only be mobilized from western and central Sichuan to replenish them.
However, after a heavy snowstorm swept through most of the Middle-earth, even this traffic artery from south to north was jammed.
Large numbers of transport trucks were intercepted near the Minyang shelter area, and the local transportation department had to dispatch a large number of snow plows to try to open a path for vehicles on the highway.
Fortunately, the Minyang Sanctuary Area is vast and sparsely populated, and it is far away from the Pamir Plateau and the two large battlefields in Liaodong, so there are very few evil spirits here.
There are only occasionally some locally born undead souls and zombies doing evil everywhere, and then they are driven out by the local demon-suppressing soldiers and run around everywhere.
The current Minyang shelter area is more focused on fighting against natural disasters.
As for the evil ghosts and zombies, haha, it’s just like that if you get used to it. Anyway, the Propaganda Department is popularizing science every day, explaining the evil ghosts’ evil nature and weaknesses.
If you really meet one, it’s like meeting a wild beast.
It's a smarter beast.
Therefore, after the advent of the Age of Ending Dharma, people in the mainland are panicked and the borders are miserable. On the contrary, places like this still maintain a stable order.
Some people even trudged through the snow to the mountains to collect medicinal materials that they had not had time to collect.
Astragalus, Codonopsis pilosula, Angelica sinensis, etc. are all specialties of the Minyang refuge area.
Of course, it is easy for three or five people to leave the shelter area and go to the planting area on the mountain, so most people go there in groups.
There are also administrative offices responsible for gathering manpower and then inviting local demon-suppressing soldiers to escort them.
The medicinal materials obtained can also be used to exchange food and daily necessities with the outside world.
What will happen if the Age of Dharma Ends comes? What will happen if the nuclear bomb explodes? As long as people are still alive, they have to continue to eat.
In the Minyang Sanctuary, the snow has been cleared away, and the streets are filled with evil-suppressing runes painted with paint. In some key locations, metal threads are even used to make runes.
On both sides of the street, evil-suppressing runes are hung at the door of every house, and there are also runes on the walls inside.
Although the sanctuary area is protected by light and shadow runes, to be honest, everyone cherishes their lives and everyone is willing to set up another layer of evil-suppressing runes in their homes.
To prevent evil spirits from sneaking into your home.
The entrance to the shelter area is located on the main road into the city.
One side of this road faces the frozen Tao River, and the other side is rolling green mountains.
But now the green mountains have already turned into snow mountains.
There are very few vehicles on the road, only snowplows, transport vehicles, and off-road motorcycles from the communications department are walking back and forth.
Cars for ordinary people have basically disappeared.
Most of them ride bicycles or walk.
Anyway, after the end of the Dharma era, the physical fitness of ordinary people is getting better and better. Walking forty or fifty kilometers a day seems like fun.
If you combine it with a bicycle, you can run further.
There is no way, it is all forced by fuel.
It is very difficult to transport fuel now, and it is military supplies.
Only the executive branch, the demon-suppressing army, and transportation and other departments have the right to apply.
It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to use gasoline.
It may be because the Minyang Sanctuary is relatively remote and few evil spirits dare to enter the Sanctuary.
Therefore, there are no particularly strict control policies at the entrance to the sanctuary area.
But at this moment, a dirty old man wearing a linen robe and white hair appeared outside the shelter.
He didn't seem to understand anything and ran straight into the railing blocking the road.
The demon-suppressing soldier on duty nearby hurriedly stopped him: "Stop! Stop!"
"Where's your pass?"
Because people are needed on the highway next to it, there have been more people entering and exiting the shelter area recently.
For the convenience of management, everyone who goes out must wear a pass as a sign of coming back.
If you don’t have a pass, you will generally be considered an outsider and need to be reviewed before you can enter.
This is to prevent evildoers or soul-polluted believers from entering and causing damage.
The old man turned to look at the demon-suppressing soldiers and said blankly: "No."
The demon-suppressing soldier replied: "Old man, you can't enter without a pass. Are you a refugee from other places?"
"Do you still have the ID card from the old era? If so, I can conduct a soul test for you. If it is not contaminated, you can apply for a pass with the ID card."
The old man shook his head blankly again: "I don't have an ID card either."
The demon-suppressing soldier smiled bitterly and said, "Why don't you have anything?"
After finishing speaking, he looked at the old man carefully again.
In the cold weather, the old man didn't even wear a down jacket, only a rag robe.
His beard was unkempt, his hair was messy, and it was an abnormal gray color.
If you look carefully, you can even see that his eyes are gray.
The demon-suppressing soldier was a little soft-hearted and said: "These days, it's lucky to be able to escape all the way here."
"In this case, I will do a soul test for you and make an exception for you to get a pass."
The companion next to him whispered: "Old Wang! This is against the rules! The executive office has repeatedly issued orders that if you apply for a pass for a refugee, two conditions must be met at the same time. The first is that the origin is clear, such as having an ID card from the old era.
"
"Then you have to pass the soul test."
"You apply for a pass for him without an ID card. What if something goes wrong?"
Lao Wang sighed and said: "I also know that this is against the rules. But don't you think about it, if you are fleeing, who will bother to find your ID card?"
"Besides, isn't it blocked by the soul test? As long as there is no problem with the soul test, what can an old man do?"
The companion still wanted to persuade, but Lao Wang waved his hand and said: "Okay, that's it. If there is a problem, I will take the responsibility."
"Old Fang, take him to the soul detection room. Be careful and don't let anything go."
"Also, notify the refugee shelter and a few people will come to conduct an epidemic prevention check on him. Although he does not have an ID card, we have to be careful about other things."
Everyone immediately became busy.
In fact, this kind of thing happens often in the Minyang shelter area.
I heard that a group of corpses appeared in the Dingxi shelter area.
The number of these corpses is about three hundred, and they are looking for villages to attack the living every day.
One of the leading corpses gave birth to Lingzhi, calling himself the King of Corpse Mountain, and his strength almost reached A level.
You know, since the Gannan Demon Suppressor died in the battle, the new Demon Suppressor was only an A-level one.
The Dingxi Sanctuary was unable to compete with the Corpse Mountain King, so it had no choice but to recruit more people.
But there are still zombies wandering around, hunting down villagers who have never entered the sanctuary.
In this case, many villagers fled towards the provincial capital and Minyang with their families.
Almost every day, refugees arrive in Minyang shelter area in small groups.
He's just an old man, nothing will go wrong.
The old man seemed to have some problems with his IQ. Even when he was taken for soul testing, he was still like a puppet, allowing others to control him.
Soon, the person responsible for soul detection sent a message.
The old man's soul fluctuates greatly, but there are no signs of contamination, which meets the soul detection standards.
Although he did not have an ID card, the old man was still taken back by the refugee shelter that arrived.
It is worth mentioning that the two people who came to the refugee shelter were riding a pedal tricycle.
As for electric cars?
Just kidding, electricity is so scarce now.
Not only is transportation difficult, but even power generation has plummeted.
These days, we should use as much manpower as we can.
After the old man was taken away, the checkpoint position returned to calm.
No one took the old man's entry into the city seriously.
It wasn't until more than an hour later that an off-road vehicle drove over from the national highway covered with dust.
The only people who can drive these days are either the government agencies or capable exorcists.
Anyway, no ordinary ordinary person can afford this.
So when he saw this car, the demon-suppressing soldier in charge of the checkpoint immediately stood up, and his companions next to him also picked up the rune sword and were ready for contingency.
There is no way, the communication between Minyang Shelter Area and the outside world has been cut off.
Even when the executive office obtains information, it must send motorcycle communicators out to deliver the information.
With this kind of efficiency, many people with dark hearts will do things they wouldn't dare to do on a daily basis.
To be honest, in the wilderness, it is not only evil zombies who dare to rob transport vehicles, but also some extremely vicious and psychopathic guys.
Fortunately, the car slowed down as it approached the checkpoint.
Immediately after, the co-pilot of the vehicle got out of a strong man carrying a rune sword.
Without saying a word, he took out his ID and handed it to the demon-suppressing soldier, and said quickly: "The combat unit of the Secret Bureau is performing its mission!"
The demon-suppressing soldier took the certificate and only glanced at it, his eyelids quickly jumped up.
This is the identity certificate issued by the Bureau of Secrets to civilian exorcists.
All the folk exorcists with this certificate have made significant contributions to Middle-earth.
Moreover, ID documents are also divided into different levels.
According to different contributions, it is divided into five levels: gold, silver, copper, iron and lead.
Among them, the lead level is the smallest and the gold level is the largest.
The certificate in the man's hand is bright silver, and his contribution has clearly reached the silver level!
You know, reaching this level means that you have made great contributions to Middle-earth and can enjoy many privileges of the Secret Bureau!
No wonder the other party can drive an off-road vehicle!
The demon-suppressing soldier respectfully returned the certificate to the other party, but did not dare to delve into the other party's origins. He said: "Mr. Han, is there anything we need to cooperate with?"
Mr. Han said quickly: "Is there an old man in ragged clothes who looks stupid passing by here?"
The demon-suppressing soldier quickly replied: "Yes!"
"The old man lost his identity document, but his soul test was normal. So I handed him over to a refugee shelter."
Mr. Han's face suddenly turned pale, and even his hands were trembling slightly.
He took a deep breath and said quickly: "Who is your consul here? Let him come to see me immediately, immediately!"
"quick!"
Seeing the other party's expression, the demon-suppressing soldier panicked for a moment.
But at this moment, another voice came from the off-road vehicle: "Okay, Han Lao Er, the matter has come to an end, even if the local consul comes, it will not help."
"Besides, since the checkpoint is okay, it means that the other party is also interesting. He may be waiting for us to pass by on purpose."
Inside the vehicle, a strange boy with white hair jumped out of the driving position.
He looked calm and said: "You guys wait outside and don't enter the shelter area. I'm going to see this person."
"I've been chasing him for more than ten days and I haven't even met him in person. It's really rude."
In the cold weather, beads of sweat broke out on Mr. Han's forehead. He said hastily: "Captain! This is too dangerous!"
"We'll go with you!"
The white-haired boy shook his head: "It's useless for you to go. If we can't reach an agreement, I'll probably die here."
"Okay, let's continue waiting. The anti-evil team is coming anyway, and with that guy Zhang Sanfen here, maybe things can turn around."
