Simon and his group drove east, along the desolate highway to Mississippi. Everyone felt that the air seemed to be fresher after escaping, and the depressing atmosphere in the town disappeared with the wind. The joy of rapid progress was always exciting.
happy.
As they continued to move forward, Simon and others also found sporadic vehicles traveling in the same direction as them. Although the vehicles were as vigilant as possible and did not say hello, everyone was obviously defecting to the Enclave. This made Simon feel that he was
The decision is correct.
"What kind of military and police can carry guns? This bullshit 'gun ban' clearly deprives our people of the right to own weapons."
"I don't like the Aurora Legion at all, even if it sends me a wife. If I want a woman, I can grab it myself."
"I'm really fed up with the rules of being a police officer. The police in the past didn't have so many restrictions. We could kill people if we wanted to, and the court wouldn't find us guilty. But now the army has arranged a lot of work for us. I
I no longer want to do this."
The road to escape was too boring. After a while, Simon took the initiative to chat with a few of his men while driving, scolding his former employer. Everyone was about to defect to the Enclave, and cursing the Aurora Legion could help stabilize their mood.
The scenery on the escape road is monotonous, and the only way to relieve boredom is to scold your mother. Due to the terrible virus epidemic, the Enclave and Aurora Corps troops are now completely out of contact. A demilitarized zone with a width of more than 200 kilometers has appeared between the front lines of the two sides, or
It's called no man's land.
This area is inaccessible and lifeless. Occasionally, you can see a few fast-moving shadows, which are often mutants who have survived after being infected by the Enclave virus.
Hungry mutants would hunt around for food. Some vehicles traveling through no-man's land were attacked, and the people in the vehicles were feasted by mutants. Simon and others did not expect this at all, and they only got lucky after repeated dangers.
Rush through this area.
After escaping, Simon and others finally arrived at the Enclave's defense zone. Just when they were about to enter a city called Jackson with joy, a tall wall appeared on the suburban road.
"People coming from the west, listen, don't come close. Otherwise we will shoot you to death." On the five- to six-meter-high wall, several soldiers operating heavy machine guns aimed in the direction of the road. A junior officer from the Enclave was standing on the wall.
shouted from the loudspeaker, preventing Simon and others from moving forward.
Simon, who was driving at high speed, didn't understand what was going on. The heavy machine gun on the opposite side opened fire in a demonstrative manner, making the road surface puff and smoke.
Simon, who came full of hope, was so frightened that he quickly hit the brakes and stopped on the road. After sweating profusely, he discovered that the ground a hundred meters away from the wall in front was full of bullet holes. This was obviously not specifically targeted.
His warning is aimed at all those who come to seek refuge.
What's going on?
Simon and others were confused. They thought they were going through a security check, so they obediently raised their hands and got out of the car. Then they clearly heard the horn of the Enclave on the opposite side, which was exactly the same as the Legion Town's words to refuse others to approach——
If you want to die, stay away from us, we won't save you.
How could this happen? You clearly issued a propaganda leaflet inciting us to defect, and you also said that as long as we come here, we will receive the same treatment as before and ensure that our living standards will never drop. You can't just trick us into coming here and just leave it alone!
There is a kind of despair called "cold from head to toe", and this is how Simon feels now. He was tired of the work and life in the Aurora Legion, and came to the Enclave with a lot of resentment. But now the Enclave doesn't
Take in?
You can't make such a joke in this wilderness!
Simon raised his hands and shouted at the wall a hundred meters away. But no matter what he shouted, it was difficult for his voice to reach the other side. And as long as he dared to move forward, the other side would definitely open fire to stop him.
Perhaps because he felt pity for Simon and others, the Enclave officer on the wall shouted again through the loudspeaker: "Either drive back, or go to the quarantine camp outside the city to stay. In short, don't come near us. You are not welcome here."
Go back? Simon drove more than 200 kilometers through dangerous no-man’s land just for sightseeing. He and several of his men could only head to the so-called ‘quarantine camp’ anxiously and angrily.
The quarantine camp is a shack area outside the city. There is not even a tent here, just a large number of "buildings" randomly built with plastic sheets and wooden sticks. Sloppy people lie down casually, and some even fall in the mud.
The outside of the quarantine camp was very messy. There were a few slightly better houses inside, and they should be the ones in control here. But the houses were guarded by several men with guns, and outsiders were prohibited from approaching. Simon bravely stepped forward and asked: "Is there an Ink here?"
Are you an official member of Lei? We are here to defect."
As he spoke, Simon also took out the rebel propaganda leaflet he had kept. He was careful when taking out this thing, as if it was a life-saving talisman for fear of breaking it. But the guard with a gun on the opposite side only glanced at it.
He grinned and said: "Hahaha... another fool has been deceived."
Cheated? Am I really cheated?
Simon was not "cold from head to toe", but his hands and feet were cold and trembling slightly. He was short of breath, and his usual heroic spirit of fearlessness disappeared. He almost begged and asked: "Can you tell me what's going on?
?"
The gunman guard jokingly said: "If you came before the outbreak, the Enclave would still take you in. But after the outbreak, a large number of their own people were infected and died, and they would not accept any more outsiders into the city. So there are no Enclave here."
Officials are the only ones waiting to die."
This paragraph was like a wake-up call, making Simon feel dizzy. Several of his subordinates behind him were so frightened that they started to cry and wailed: "If I had known this, we shouldn't have come. Over at the legion."
Although there are many restrictions, I have food and shelter, and there is no danger."
Just now, Simon and his group were still yelling at the legion that this is not good and that is not good. Now everyone feels that the legion is more comfortable. There is no harm without comparison, but some mistakes can be remedied, and some reckless actions
But you can't mess around casually.
After Simon stayed for a few seconds, he decided to make a decision. He immediately turned around and drove back - although the two hundred kilometers of no-man's land was dangerous, just rushing over was better than staying in this messy quarantine camp.
However, when Simon and others came out of the quarantine camp, they found that their companion who had been left outside to guard the vehicle was lying on the ground twitching. His neck had been cut with a knife, and his head was about to be broken off. The car was missing.
The house leaked and it rained all night. How could we go back without a car?
Simon frantically asked people nearby what was going on? The answer he got was simple - there was a group of people who wanted to escape back to the Aurora Legion, but they had been suffering from lack of vehicles. The arrival of Simon and others was simply a gift from God to them.
The gospel to come.
Damn it, we have become gospel to others, what should we do ourselves?
Simon's heart was about to freeze into ice. If you had a car, you could try to cross the two-hundred-kilometer-wide no-man's land. But crossing it on foot would be a recipe for death, and you would be eaten by safari mutants halfway through.
Simon anxiously asked if there was any other way to return to the Aurora Legion's territory. When he said that he had just arrived and was not familiar with the situation here, the crowd in the quarantine camp laughed wildly - the Aurora Legion had just announced a breakthrough in vaccine development, and we all wanted to
We went to the Legion to survive, but you came to die.
