After the heavy rain caused by the typhoon subsided, the great migration of survivors that had been interrupted by the heavy rain resumed.
The temporary checkpoint set up by the pioneering group in the easternmost part of the region had to be upgraded to a permanent checkpoint. The difference is that permanent checkpoints need to be staffed 24 hours a day.
In order to facilitate the garrison, this checkpoint is even connected to electricity. A huge bold "safe" sign is nailed to the wall of the house with green light strips. It does not look so conspicuous during the day, but it will probably be at night.
Very eye-catching.
The power guarantee is undoubtedly the best sign that Puduo County has stabilized. Many people have not seen electricity for a long time. A simple electronic display attracted everyone's attention. The display read
There are various things you need to pay attention to when entering Puduo County.
All the vehicles that need to enter Puduo County are queuing up on the road. Field staff use tablet computers to register those who apply to enter one by one as required. Then another field team member will issue a road note with the time on them.
, and informed that this road note needs to be kept properly. With the road note, you can enjoy trade discounts in any sub-team of the gospel team.
A huge off-road vehicle lined up and slowly arrived at the checkpoint registration area, and then a petite girl jumped out of the vehicle.
"Hello, welcome to Puduo County. Please abide by the order here, just like before the disaster." The female field team member at the registration office took the trouble to repeat the above words to each visitor, as if
It's like a police officer giving a Miranda warning to a suspect.
"Hello, my name is Dina Cairns." Dina said politely to the female team member.
"Where are your family members? Ask them to get off the bus together. Everyone needs to register." The female team member looked up at Dina and said to her.
"Uh, I'm just alone." Dina said to the female team member.
"Louis!" After hearing Dina's answer, the female team member turned her head and shouted.
After a while, a group of guards wearing full heavy armor surrounded the off-road vehicle. They held various long guns and surrounded the off-road vehicle. Then a guard carefully reached out and opened the door.
The front row is empty.
The back row is empty.
The trunk is empty.
Turns out there really is no one.
I have encountered several cases of people concealing information about passing through. Usually, people who conceal information like this have a lot of troubles with them. It does not mean that they should not be allowed in, but that they need to be treated differently. Otherwise, letting one in is equivalent to letting them in.
Got a troublemaker.
Unexpectedly, this girl is actually a person.
The female team member looked Dina up and down, and she asked Dina seriously: "Are you really here alone? Where is your team? Where did you come from?"
"Yes, ma'am, I really came here alone." Dina said to the female team member: "My team is far away from here, and they probably won't come here for a while."
"Here, take it, this is your road sign." The female team member handed the road sign with a simple message written on it to Dina, and then said to her: "How could a young lady like you come here alone?"
If you have any trouble, you can ask the patrol team for help. They are worthy of your trust. But before asking for help, you must identify the person."
"Thank you very much." Dina returned to the off-road vehicle with the road note. After honking the horn in gratitude, she crossed the checkpoint and drove towards the front of the highway.
Another lone ranger.
Everyone is not surprised by this kind of thing, but this girl is relatively young.
But in today's world, the more abnormal a person's behavior is, the more it means there is something wrong with them, such as the grand leader.
Whether it is Iger or Bill, their abilities fully demonstrate that age is not an important criterion for measuring a person.
…
This is the green zone.
Dina looked around curiously while driving. She found that the biggest change was that there were no more scrapped cars everywhere along the way.
Even if some cars were not cleared away, they were moved under the roadbed. Without those obstructions, the road now drives very smoothly.
Dina secretly took out her mobile phone, inserted it into the holder, and clicked on the map navigation.
“Welcome to MiGe Navigation, do you want to continue the previous navigation...
The route is being calculated. You are still 127 kilometers away from your destination and it is estimated to take 1 hour and 54 minutes."
Dina glanced at the mileage meter on the dashboard. The car showed 109 kilometers.
The air conditioner in the car had been turned off long ago, and Dina used her newly developed golden right foot, preparing to fill the gap of 18 kilometers with precise foot control.
After walking for dozens of kilometers, the situation was not as good as Dina imagined. The number of kilometers to the destination and the mileage of cruising range were decreasing year-on-year. Even if she used the maximum fuel-saving method, the car could not reach Jixi Town.
Could it be that the last part has to be walked?
At this time, Dina discovered a gas station on the outskirts of a small town with an ugly dirt wall.
There is nothing strange about the gas station. There are gas stations all along the road, but what is strange is that this is a gas station that is open.
Dina saw people in uniforms refueling passing vehicles. They not only added fuel to the fuel tanks of the cars, but also added fuel to the large iron drums brought by those people themselves.
The SUV drove to a gas station and stopped. After turning off the car, Dina opened the door and jumped out.
"Hello, I need to refuel. How do you charge here?" Dina asked the staff in a friendly manner.
"Road." The field worker did not give Dina a green light because of her sweet smile. She had to look at the road to refuel.
…
This is a new rule formulated by Iger and Andy. Other products can be directly redeemed with gas coupons, but fuel cannot.
The length of the road is 2 weeks and 14 days. During the 14 days, fuel supply transactions can be carried out with the help of the road. However, if you have not settled down for more than 14 days, the transaction will be prohibited. To put it simply, people will be driven out unless
The immigrants settled down.
The reason why Andy and Egg set the standard in this way is to prevent homeless people who are accustomed to running around from wasting fuel in unnecessary places.
After the team settles down, they report to Jixi Town. After the accompanying personnel go to check the settlement and verify it, they can receive a plastic-enclosed identification card. Only with the identification card can they go to the gas station to refuel.
As for the identification card, Nicholas worked hard to design it a few days ago and finally got it.
In fact, it is not difficult to design an ID card that is difficult to imitate. The current color printing and plastic sealing technology using special paper basically eliminates 99.99% of imitations.
The reason why it took Nicholas several days to come up with it was mainly due to the difficulty of consensus. The manuscript was rejected one draft after another. Nicholas felt that his hair was decreasing rapidly, and he was frantic and wanted to go out in the field as soon as possible.
Erica is also in Puduo City, and now Puduo City has almost become a private meeting place for Nicholas and Erica.
After finally completing this task, Nicholas immediately applied to Andy and volunteered to go to the front line to fight the enemy.
Nicholas should have been a little embarrassed when facing Andy; or in other words, Andy should have been a little embarrassed when facing Nicholas.
None of this is important. What is important is that the two of them are acting as if nothing has happened, which makes the people next to them feel embarrassed and want to pick their feet in embarrassment.
…
The field team member took a look at the road sign and it showed today's date. This was a new arrival. So the field team member said to Dina: "You need to use fuel coupons to refuel. You can go to the gas station to check the specific redemption requirements."
After Dina locked the car, she went inside the gas station.
It's great. There is air conditioning here. It's so comfortable.
Dina followed the guide and came to a wall of the gas station. The wall was covered with exchange price lists for various commodities.
Dina didn't notice that this place was only responsible for redeeming fuel coupons. If you want to use fuel coupons to purchase goods, you need to go elsewhere.
There, people will see another price catalogue. Those who are keen on prices will find that the price there is 25% higher than here.
Dina spent 2 minutes looking through all the 776 product catalogs. It seemed that what she had in her hand was not enough to exchange for enough fuel.
At the end, she saw a note that said: "Exchange for high-value goods not in the catalog, please negotiate."
Looking at this article, Dina came to the store clerk excitedly. She asked the polite little brother happily: "Excuse me, how much can the XV-type cheetah enhancer cost?"
…
"Colonel Bella, she is the one who wants to sell enhancers." After the lounge, Bella walked in and saw a girl sitting there obediently.
Just now, when I heard that someone wanted to exchange for strange high-value goods, the field brother did not show any contempt for the seller's appearance. In the lounge, he brought her a drink - a glass of cold water and asked her
She waited a moment.
Sandra and Bella are dealing with a mountain of housekeeping work together. During this period, the volume of purchases is very large and needs to be updated immediately. Fortunately, there is electricity now. Sandra uses the computer to register and calculate, and then uses it extremely luxuriously.
The printer prints the form and files it.
The back-office efficiency of Ross Town's reclamation team is much higher than that of the original gospel team in Jixi Town. The main reason is that Sister Maria is not very good at using computers. She is accustomed to using notebooks and pens.
Sandora didn't have this problem, her fingers were typing quickly on the keyboard.
At this moment, a field team member came in and reported that a girl came to the gas station to exchange for a strange high-value transaction item.
"Type 15 cheetah enhancer?" Sandra heard the field team's report, and she was also confused. It sounded like a combat medicine, but the use of stimulating combat medicines has been banned by Egg, so this thing is
Once collected, they can only be resold.
There are also a large number of homemade combat potions in Jixi Town, and the prices are very high, so similar products may not sell well.
While Sandra was weighing whether to accept the goods based on commercial value, Bella stood up and asked the field team in a stern tone: "How many people are there in the seller? Where are they?"
"There is only one person, rest in the lounge." The field team member said to Bella.
"I'll be there right away." After Bella finished speaking, she put a stack of report sheets on the table and said to Sandra: "I'm sorry, I'll leave the rest to you first."
Shandora nodded, then watched Bella leave, and sighed deeply.
I've always gotten a C- in math, these things are just too difficult for me.
Bella walked quickly towards the gas station, and she heard a very remarkable name.
Cheetah Enhancer is a drug that only top soldiers on the battlefield are qualified to use. The model Bella knows is xi type. Many people misread xi type cheetah enhancer as "Xi type 1 cheetah enhancer". In fact,
"xi" is a Greek letter, which means 11.
This time the seller actually wants to redeem the XV model. This piece of information alone is extremely important.
It's not that this cheetah potion is very effective. Well, the effect of this potion is indeed very strong.
Type xi cheetah enhancer can increase people's nerve reaction speed and muscle explosive power by 10%.
Don't look at this 10%, this is the difference between 100 meters in 10 seconds and 100 meters in 9 seconds.
Type xv should be stronger.
But this is not the key. The key information is how and where they obtained this medicine.
When Bella arrived at the gas station, she noticed a black SUV parked at the gas station.
This is a very rare off-road vehicle.
It's not that this kind of off-road vehicle is very expensive, and people living in such poor places usually can't afford it, but it means that there are not many people driving this kind of off-road vehicle now.
The fuel consumption of this kind of full-size 8-cylinder off-road vehicle can generally reach more than 18L per 100 kilometers. Ordinary people generally cannot support the daily use of this kind of fuel-guzzling monster.
In the VIP lounge, Bella met the seller, a girl who looked young.
Bella saluted the girl with a standard military salute, and she said seriously: "US Army Colonel, Bella Malan."
"Hello, Colonel." Dina stood up in a hurry and gave Bella a military salute in return, and then said: "Dina Cairns. I have only joined for less than half a year. I don't know what the military rank is, but I heard that it should be a captain.
"
"Less than half a year?" Bella discovered the new situation keenly, and she asked Dina: "Captain, did you join the army only after the blood epidemic broke out?"
"Ah, ah!" Dina said nervously, "I am a civilian, no, actually the employment contract says commercial operation. Anyway, I never had a military rank before, and after the blood epidemic broke out, they said they needed unified management, so
We just added military ranks to everyone. Military ranks are directly linked to personal treatment. For example, my salary is higher than that of Silly Wade."
"Okay, the official business is over." Bella suddenly removed her serious face, and she said to Dina casually: "You can call me Bella."
"Hello, Bella."
"Dina, I'm asking you this question in a personal capacity. You don't have to answer it, but this question is very important to me." Bella stared at Dina and asked: "Does the US Army still exist?"
