A city with falling snowflakes, a towering border guard tower, and a quiet forest.
The city is clearly separated from the mountains and forests, and the surrounding fields have long been abandoned.
"It's snowing again..." Cage, the security guard in charge of the 5066 sentry tower, leaned against the railing and looked at the vast white mountain forest wilderness.
"Cage, you have a holiday in a few days, do you want to travel to Space City?" Another black-haired security guard asked while observing the situation on the south side with a telescope.
Cage thought for a while: "I heard that traveling to the space city requires half a month's vacation. Agatha just got pregnant some time ago, and I don't want to travel far."
The black-haired man did not force himself when he heard the words. At this moment, he found three hot spots in the jungle on the south side approaching quickly: "Cage, there is a situation."
In an instant, Cage opened the safety of the assault rifle and aimed at the three hot spots that were approaching.
In the mountain forest, three figures wearing down jackets sneaked closer to the sentry tower using the cover of the bushes. As they approached the sentry tower, their speed became slower and slower.
One of the middle-aged men looked at the row of barbed wire fences surrounding the sentry tower, with a hint of helplessness on his face.
At the junction of Nemanya and other areas, there are only guard towers and no barbed wire fences. Only the Blackbird Land has barbed wire fences.
At first, the Blackbirds didn't pay much attention and happily followed the Europa Consortium.
It’s just that as time goes by, the entire Europa Federation is now experiencing frequent problems. As the core of the Europa Federation, France, Western Rome, and Germany have to give priority to self-protection at this time.
As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. For the Europeans who put their interests first, they have no concept of providing help in times of need. They are already showing great kindness by not adding insult to injury.
Under such circumstances, the three cores of the Europa Commonwealth will naturally have to give up some of the areas that cannot make ends meet, with the Balkans bearing the brunt.
In particular, Blackbird Land, which has very little economic benefit, saw its aid cut by 80%.
Blackbird Land, which used to be able to rely on aid and the tourism industry, as well as the garrison economy, could live relatively comfortably, is now suddenly experiencing difficulties.
America, which could no longer maintain its global military presence, was very decisive and sold half of its bases and equipment in the Mediterranean to the Europa Consortium.
The US military base in Blackbird Land has naturally been eliminated. Currently, the Europa Alliance Army does not have many troops stationed here, only two regiments and one radar station.
As for tourism, let alone that.
Now even the middle class in the Europa Commonwealth are no longer in the mood to travel, but are looking for ways to make money and maintain a decent life. Unnecessary expenses such as tourism must be cut off immediately.
Aid, tourism, and garrison consumption have all decreased, and their own agriculture cannot withstand the ravages of natural disasters and they do not have rich mineral resources. Life has suddenly become very difficult.
Although the people in Blackbird Land made trouble several times, it was to no avail.
The Homo sapiens company has never liked people in Blackbird Land, especially those who are adults, otherwise they would not have set up a large circle of barbed wire here.
The middle-aged man came to the barbed wire fence, picked up a wooden stick with a pair of white underwear tied to it, and shook it in the direction of the watchtower, hoping to attract the watchtower's attention.
However, Cage and Black Hair on the sentry tower remained unmoved.
After the three people approached, the sentry tower had identified their specific identities through pheromones.
"Oh, you're just a piece of garbage." Cage looked down upon these three guys with great disdain.
According to the intelligence database, these three guys are notoriously idle in the Blackbird Land. They have done a lot of things to exclude and harass the Nemanya people in the past, and they have also made a lot of comments on the European and American Internet that are hostile to the Homo sapiens company.
Now that they see that the welfare of Blackbird is declining and the aid from the Europa Consortium has been reduced, they have thought of the Homo sapiens company and want to come over to take advantage of the welfare.
Such people are directly on the blacklist. If they want to enter the Homo sapiens company, there is no way.
The black hair directly raised the assault rifle.
Bang bang bang!
Several bullets passed by the three guys, scattering some snowflakes on them.
The sudden sound of gunfire scared one of the young men to the point of peeing: "Hoo ho ho... I'm not going!" After saying that, he ran away.
The middle-aged man also looked pale, but he looked at the tower fiercely, kept this in mind, threw down the branch, and moved back away from the barbed wire fence.
After leaving the barbed wire fence, the three of them stopped at a small wooden house.
"Boss, what should we do now? Those bastards won't let us pass at all." A young man with triangular eyes was talking and warming himself by the fire.
The young man who had just changed his wet underwear had a silent expression on his face. It was obvious that he was very upset about his performance just now and could not hold his head up.
The middle-aged man ignored the pissing man and said through gritted teeth: "The Homo sapiens company must have been angry with us because Blackbird was unwilling to cooperate with them."
"What should I do? The prices in the supermarket have increased several times now, and my little savings are almost used up, you bastard! If I had known, I would have saved more money!" Triangle Eyes was full of complaints in his words.
The middle-aged man lit a cigarette: "Huh..." and blew out a smoke ring. Then he narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Since there is no way to get there from Blackbird Land, we can take a detour. There are no restrictions on other places."
Hearing the middle-aged man's suggestion, the triangular eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes! As expected of the boss, as long as we pretend to be people from other places in the Balkans, the Homo sapiens company will definitely not be able to discover us."
"Haha..." The middle-aged man laughed proudly.
Obviously they don't know that the Homo sapiens company has the genetic and pheromone data of everyone in the world, and it is simply impossible to get away with it.
The three of them made a fire for half an hour and then hurried back to their small town.
The inconspicuous town is also covered in ice and snow.
The streets were deserted, with the occasional few pedestrians walking in a hurry.
Passing by the only bakery in the town, the three of them were going to buy some bread when they noticed a price increase notice hanging at the door of the bakery.
Triangle eyes glanced at the price and was immediately shocked: "Is this robbery? Five times the price?"
The bakery owner spread his hands in embarrassment: "Don't blame me. Now the price of flour has increased a lot. When the electricity and heating bills are added up, I haven't made any money at all."
"..." The middle-aged man struggled for a while, then gritted his teeth and took out most of the money in his pocket: "Give me 30 kilograms of the cheapest whole-wheat bread."
The boss did not take the banknote, but shook his head: "Visa, do you see clearly? The purchase limit is 2 kilograms per person per day."
"What?" The middle-aged man clenched his fists.
But the bakery owner had no intention of being accommodating. He was not afraid of the Visa trio because his brother-in-law was the town's police chief.
In the end, the three Visa people could only buy 6 kilograms of bread back.
As soon as he returned home and looked at the two old men chattering away, Visa went to the kitchen without saying a word and started making bread. He made bread with all the flour left at home.
After all, he had to go to other places, and he didn't have much money, so he had to rely on a bicycle, so he had to prepare dry food by himself.
As for whether the two old people would starve to death if the flour at home ran out, he didn't care at all.
After baking bread all night, the Visa trio finally prepared 60 kilograms of bread, and left the town on their bicycles when no one was paying attention.
