Chapter 594: special

April 30, 2076
Hunger is like a piercing poison to humans, and only the antidote "food" can alleviate it.
8:19 AM
Gerry was holding a gun quietly and sitting on the edge of the farmland. He was still patient. There were more than 100 people guarding the farmland. Looking at the people around, Gerry felt strange, their eyes Always staring at the north side of town.
Nowadays, most of the people have gone to the north of the town. For some unacceptable people, the place is simply purgatory. At this time, there was another fragrance in the air, and many people around Gerry swallowed. .
The food has been exhausted a day ago. Gerry has been hungry for three days, and there is a small potato in his pocket. He is still patient. When he was performing some military tasks in the past, starving was nothing to him. But in just three short days, Gerry felt more uncomfortable than death.
This is the 12th day the disaster has occurred. In just 12 days, this place has become a purgatory on earth. Gerry is not willing to go to the north because he knows very well that he is still a human and must remain sober.
In the past few days, people often couldn’t bear to go to the north, and some went into the forest, but those people never came back, because Gerry knew that the only things that could be eaten in the nearby forest were some plants. But in the past few days, it has been almost invisible, and all the food that can be eaten has been divided among the more than 10,000 people in the town.
Many people are already skinny, especially those who are obese. Now they can't wear clothes. Gerry smiled helplessly. At this time, Bob, who had just finished his work behind him, brought someone over.
"There is no food at all."
Gerry grumbled, Bob's eyes looked a little serious.
"Are you going to go there? Bob."
Bob hesitated for a while, nodded and said.
"Either starve to death or eat something! I prefer to choose the former. If I can't stay rational, I will pass."
Gerry didn't say anything, just nodded silently. He knew very well that he was about to collapse after being hungry for three days, let alone continue for a few more weeks, waiting for the potatoes in the field to mature and make Gerry feel What is worrying is that some people who have only recently come to the town have mentioned that when they came, they had suffered a few rains and then saw a lot of plants withered.
This is what Gerry is most worried about. A large amount of radioactive materials will fall with the rain, causing extremely serious pollution to the plants on the surface. On the day of the disaster, Gerry and their army responded quickly, and the facts are It was countries that launched thousands of nuclear bombs in order to stop the asteroid from falling suddenly.
Although the asteroid still fell, because of the huge impact of the nuclear explosion, the asteroid's falling speed has been slowed down, and finally the asteroid decomposed, and the planet survived. However, the terrible thing is the super nuclear disaster after the nuclear explosion. .
Gerry learned these things in the military course, because modern warfare is always accompanied by nuclear things and the harm it produces. Gerry knows no better.
The disaster will continue to expand. Gerry just wants to do everything possible to establish a field where crops can be planted before the disaster continues to expand, and then harvest the crops and hide in deeper mountain forests. This is The only way to temporarily avoid this catastrophe.
"It won't hold on."
Gerry murmured to himself. He watched Bob and the others plan to go back to rest, save energy, and need to maintain farmland every day. These days Bob felt that the temperature was getting lower and lower, and now they can only rely on it. The car’s engine is used to supply electricity, and a heat-conducting rod is used to increase the temperature of the crop shed that has been gradually built.
The previous plan of attacking the mine was put on hold, because everyone knew that no one wanted to die, and finally survived. From the beginning of the dispute over the means of attack, everyone fell silent because of hunger.
These days, in the north of the town, some people who have done that kind of thing have become leaders. Now they seem to be making some rules. There are still more than half of the people in the north of the town who don’t want to go there, but continue. The entire town should become a slaughterhouse.
At this time, more than a dozen people rushed over. Gerry looked at their panic expressions, and a man came over and said immediately.
"Gerry, go over and take a look and stop."
Gerry didn’t know what was going on, and then brought more than 30 people, holding weapons towards the south of the town, many people were clamoring, and at the door of an auditorium, a man was crying. He kept saying something, but he was already by several people and stripped off his clothes.
"No, no..."
"I can only blame you for bad luck. Didn't you eat every day the other day?"
A man holding a bright butcher knife walked over, the man screamed in horror, and many people around were silent.
"What are you doing?"
Gerry asked, and then the man with the butcher knife explained.
All people who want to eat in the southern part of the town have to draw lots every day, only for those who have eaten food, and once they are drawn, it will become food.
"Now you know, except for children and young women, everyone else will be drawn, including myself."
The man with the butcher knife said, and found out the result of his draw from his arms. It said LIFE. In the stripped man’s underwear, there was a note with DIE written on it. The man screamed in horror. .
"There is no way. If you want to survive, you can only do this. After all, if the crops are planted, all of us will starve to death, but this method allows us all to persist until the crops are planted."
Gerry stared at the man holding the butcher knife as he walked over. The man was still crying, but many people around him stopped talking, just turned around silently, as if no one had heard this. The man's cry for help.
Because everyone at the scene knew that the words of this man with a butcher knife were true, and they couldn't survive a day without food.
Gerry shook the gun in his hand and pointed it at the man, and the others did the same, but at this time the man laughed.
"If you want to shoot, feel free to do it. If I die, it will become food, but everyone agrees with this rule. Even if I die, someone will take my job instead."
In the end, Gerry closed his eyes, and accompanied by a scream, several people were holding large basins, and then the blood, within a few minutes, the tied man died.
Gerry turned around and led the people away, and soon he returned to the main road northeast of the town. Then Gerry continued to walk, and the waking Bob walked out.
"Where are you going?"
Gerry didn't answer, just kept walking, and many people followed.
"Finally go and talk to them."
9:03 AM
Verla woke up from a comfortable and soft leather cushion. She yawned and looked at this small wooden house where the miners lived. There were some simple decorations inside, and there was a burst of fragrance outside. Verla stood up. Here, as soon as I went out, the aunt who was making breakfast outside shouted.
"Hurry up and eat Vera."
Virla smiled and walked over, took a pancake and a cup of blended milk tea, and then sat on a chair outside the cabin and ate.
In the past few days, Vilra has been assigning some work and assigning some groups to let the townsfolk participate in the management, and teach some townsfolk how to use weapons, at this time Redes brought people over.
"I think it's almost Verla, after all..."
"It's not time yet, they will be better hungry for a few days."
Verla stood up while speaking, when a member of the guard ran over.
"They are coming up."
Immediately everyone was on alert, and Villa ran with a gun, and many people around followed.
"only one person?"
Verla, who came to the top of the slope, looked at the man coming up on the slope, and walked up step by step with both hands raised, and immediately Redes shouted in a megaphone.
"Stop right away, otherwise it will blow your head."
Gerry, who was on the at this time, also saw Verla. He looked at him in shock, but still silently raised his hands and walked up step by step, facing the weapon aimed at him, Gerry was not timid, because He knew that even though the townspeople had taken the food, they would eventually become the same as in the town if they did not produce a few months later.
The alluring smell of milk in the air and the smell of wheat made Gerry swallow continuously. He was going crazy and had not touched normal food for more than ten days.
"All put down their weapons."
Verla said, looking at the man who came by, and she laughed at this moment.
"What? Do you want to take refuge in us?"
Gerry shook his head, then knelt on the ground.
"Please give us some food, just give us a little bit, please."
Willa stared at Gerry squintingly, and Redes on the side immediately spoke.
"You killed many of us. If you stayed out honestly at the beginning, you still have some food every day. You asked for it."
Gerry looked at Ville.
"Miss, you should know what's going on in that town now. Even if you have plenty of food now, what will happen in a few months? We have already planted seeds in the planting field. It only takes more than a month for the potatoes to mature. There is a food crisis, and now that disasters have spread over here, when the disasters really come, there may be nothing to grow here."
Gerry then explained that about some of the actual hazards after the nuclear explosion, and what kind of hazards the clouds that obscure the sky and sun will cause, etc., he clearly told Verla and them.
"Get him something to eat."
Villa ordered that someone would do it right away. Redes wanted to say something, but Villa raised his hand to stop it.
Soon Gerry looked at a plate of hot toast and a cup of milk tea. He kept saying thank you and ate with excitement. After eating, Gerry felt dizzy and then passed out directly on the ground.
"What if he lied to us? Ville, what he said, maybe..."
"Don't be prejudiced, Reeds. At this time, what we need is a sober and smart person, not a stupid idiot."
After more than an hour, Gerry woke up, still feeling very hungry. There were some cold pancakes beside the bed. After Gerry picked up a piece and ate it, he took a sip of water. He watched the guard outside the house. , Then he stood up and was detained by two people right after he walked out.
Soon Gerry was taken to a room, watching the woman sitting in the middle, and there were some people standing around, including the Archon Reeds.
"Miss, what I said is the truth, there is absolutely nothing false."
Virla nodded.
"Let's talk, how is the town now?"
Gerry told them a little bit of the tragedy that happened in the town now, and everyone present was shocked. Redes pressed his forehead. He didn't expect the situation to be worse than what Verra had said when he came back.
Virla laughed, then stood up.
"Go back and tell them that we will give you some food today, but there is only one prerequisite, to hand over all the weapons, and to listen to our orders in the future to return the farmland to us. You can only listen to us in the future."
As Virla said, Gerry nodded, wanting to live, this may be the only way.
Then Vera asked them to take Gerry away, and Redes looked at Vera with a serious expression.
"Villa, what do you want to do?"
At this time, the other people in the room looked at Villa suspiciously. Redes had been noticing what Villa was talking to some people in the town these days, and seemed to be planning something in secret.
Virla smiled and shook her head.
"It's nothing."
Redes saw that Verla had been in contact with several blacksmiths in the town these days.
"It's just for the convenience of management in the future. You don't need to ask Reeds if you are extra. When we return to the town, you only need to take care of people to maintain the law and order in the town."
Reeds was a little uncomfortable, and wanted to say something. Villa has already left. Now most of the young people in the guards are very satisfied with Villa. She is careful, including how Rivela is dealing with food these days. The things that can last longer by eating are divided in detail. Now people in the mine eat one meal in the morning and evening, so that the food is enough for them to last for eight months.
As soon as Vilra went out, many people leaned in. Listening to Vilra's allocation of various aspects, Redes felt a little uncomfortable, and always felt that Vilra had another purpose.
But soon Redes joined in. He felt a little jealous of this little girl. In the past, he had always been the consul of the town. The townspeople obeyed him. In just over ten days, the town The people now listen to Verla.
"Okay, bring food and weapons with me."
2:13 PM
Bob ate a pancake and felt so much more comfortable. More than a dozen people gathered together. They were about to return to the town. Gerry had already told them the conditions of the townspeople, and these people also accepted. But everyone is worried. Once they lose their weapons, they will probably be slaughtered. But this is no way. They invaded the town.
After returning home, Gerry immediately let everyone spread the news. Most of them happily took their weapons and ran to the northeast of the town, looking at the end of the road.
A pair of longing eyes gathered at the end of the road. Everyone was waiting for the food delivered. Most of them were holding weapons. They hoped that they could exchange more food with their weapons.
At this time, with the rumbling sound, a big truck appeared, and everyone was excited for a while.
In less than a few minutes, two trucks stopped more than ten meters away from them. dozens of people got off the truck. One truck was empty, and the other truck was carrying water, food and cooking. Simple equipment for food.
"Okay, now everyone is in a long line. When we finish eating, you can get food. Please put all the weapons and ammunition on another truck."
Villa yelled with a megaphone, and many people began to line up in a panic. Villa commanded people to start eating.
Redes took a lot of people to watch from a distance to prevent anyone from going around behind them from the forest, but it seemed that worry was unnecessary.
Soon a piece of pancake was ready, and everyone could get a slap-sized piece of cake. These people obediently handed over their weapons, and a large number of weapons filled the car in a short while.
Some people who got the food ate ecstatically. Most people have not eaten Dingxi for four or five days. The food has only been eaten for 3 days, but in fact, it was basically unable to satisfy everyone 5 days ago.
There were people thanking Verla and the others. At this time Verla laughed. Most of the people who had eaten went to the left side to rest. Many people still wanted a little bit of food. After all, as long as they can get a little more food. If you do, you can hold it for a while.
More and more people came to this road, forming a long line, and Gerry watched as many people came from behind, and there were also people from the north of the town.
Seeing that the crowd was almost gathered, Verla stood on the head of the truck, turned up the volume of the amplifier and shouted.
"Food is not free, let alone a charity to you. You ruined our town and killed our people. We could have watched you starve to death or kill each other, but now I only say it once, If you want, from now on, you must obey us. No resistance is allowed. If you do, drive out of the town. Now, in order to distinguish between us and you, one thing is necessary."
At this time, several blacksmiths took out a stove from a truck, then ignited the coal mine inside, and put some made soldering irons in it, and the soldering iron soon burned red.
The soldering iron with the wide back of the hand made many people feel puzzled.
"This is to distinguish you from us. If you still want to eat tomorrow, you will burn marks on the back of your hands. If you don't want to..."
Virla laughed.
"Then just wait for death."
At this time, following Verla’s order, many people pointed their guns at the person in front of them. Many people looked at Verla angrily, but some people walked up, lifted their sleeves, and closed. Closed eyes.
Nourish
Accompanied by a smell and a scream, Man Gu soon saw the trace of a pig's head burned on the back of his hand, and he instantly became angry.
"Not only pigs, but also breeds, horses, etc. You can freely choose the patterns you want."
There were waves of verbal abuse. At this time, Redes ran over quickly, and a man with a pattern on his arm walked to the side in pain and sat on the ground.
"From tomorrow, people without a brand will not be eligible for food."
As Virla said, people kept leaning over and stretched out the back of his hand. Redes stood beside the truck head, looking at the scene in front of him, feeling a little unacceptable.
Soon a long line formed, and more and more people were imprinted with animal patterns, some even started to cry, Verla just stared at everything in front of her with cold eyes.
"What on earth do you want to do Vera?"
Redes asked, Verla said after getting off the head of the truck.
"Rescue will never come, only to establish a country here, and the establishment of a country will inevitably have three or six nines, and we are nobles, as they are just slaves."
Redes swallowed and Virla patted him on the shoulder.
"If we want to survive, we have to continue to cultivate mountain and forest land. We need a lot of labor. As long as the mountain and forest land is cultivated, we can do everything we can to deal with it before the situation deteriorates."
Redes didn't say anything, but nodded silently. What he didn't expect was that Vera had thought of such a far place.
Seeing these people who were unwilling to imprint patterns on the backs of their hands, Redes understood Verla's plan. First, they pulled out their fangs, and then removed their self-esteem. Hungry, he became a slave and accepted the management of the townspeople. For the past few days, Villa has been talking to some of the townspeople who took the lead about management.
"Next, I have to divide it in detail, and I will divide it according to the pattern they branded on the back of the hand. For children, you can wait until they grow up to get the branding."
Redes grumbled. At this moment, Verla looked at Gerry with an angry face. She walked over slowly and watched Gerry standing aside. She didn't choose what pattern to imprint, as if she was still hesitating.
"I only give you three days to consider. Okay, now that there are branders, you can follow us back. There will be food every day, but you need to work hard."
For a while, many people who were branded on the pattern nodded and walked over, Verla looked at Gerry, and then said.
"How? Do you want to continue to endure hell, or choose to become a human being?"
Gerry shook his head.
"Are you crazy? If you do this..."
Virla turned and laughed, then said.
"If you don't do this, everyone will die."
