Chapter 161: The Road to Escape
The operation in Minsk was completed on the second day after Zhou Qingfeng returned. The medicines and surgical equipment in 2030 will be much more advanced than those in 2016. According to Dr. Belford, it will take about ten days for Minsk to regain the ability to take care of itself. , after one month the behavior is as usual.
However, the living environment in Manhattan is getting worse and worse. According to Zhou Qingfeng, life will only get worse.
After more than half a month of destructive looting, all the materials that were easy to loot had been looted. But before the smooth passage to the outside world can't be opened, the remaining millions of people in New York will slowly starve to death.
Most people understand that staying in New York will only wait for death, so a large number of people continue to flee frantically, trying to find food and work in other agriculturally developed areas.
However, without any preparation and organization, these people who escaped from New York often fell into a desperate situation halfway, and a lot of people died of hunger and thirst. This was the situation that Zhou Qingfeng had foreseen when he first arrived in New York. If he embarked on the road of escape without any preparation, he would only become a corpse on the side of the road.
It turned out that David Lawrence was born out of nowhere and came forward to get a lot of food for the people in the city. But now, Mr. Savior himself is in a state of desperation. In order to find his wife, he runs around every day, so how can he have time to care about others?
"We have to save them, save these poor people."
"But our current strength is limited, and our current food reserves can't even satisfy ourselves."
"Are we just going to watch these people die?"
"Yes, we can only watch them die."
More than half of the management staff in the Armed Maidens came from the church. Lena Fox used these people to build this institution, but there is no doubt that her power has been thinned out. The Holy Mothers of the church have been making trouble these days, asking Lena Fox to take out the food reserves to help the refugees, but Lena Fox resolutely resisted this seemingly benevolent, but in fact, brainless decision.
As a result, more than half of the idiots in the church left, which was a serious blow to the Armed Ladies Association. Not only is there a large loss of management personnel, but the number of people originally gathered by Lena Fox has also decreased by more than half.
The United States is a religious society with many religious believers. In times of despair, religion's ability to bewitch is multiplied. Many people believed that the church could take care of themselves, so they broke away from the Armed Ladies Association.
"The large loss of personnel has reduced our income by half. And the lack of management personnel, I can hardly control the remaining half of the people." After the catastrophe, Lena Fox has been hit repeatedly, and Miss Fox is also at her wit's end when.
"It's time for us to consider leaving New York." Sitting in Lina's office, Zhou Qingfeng watched the always elegant young lady leaning on her chair weakly, "Our current staff is enough to start a new home .”
"Do you think the rest of these people are willing to go with us?" Lena shook her head, and she talked about another topic, "Do you know how the skeleton will be built?"
Zhou Qingfeng also shook his head.
"Clinder Prison in upstate New York has always been used to house serious criminals. It has always been overcrowded and held thousands of murderers, drug dealers, rapists and other villains. After the catastrophe, the commonality united them. This cohesion made them Their power expanded extremely rapidly.
And what about us? At first it was just you, then I was added, then the Butcher, and finally Minsk, Katerina, David Lawrence. But there are only so many of our core members, and there are no more. Everyone else is attached to us because we have nowhere to go.
That's our biggest problem, our core is too weak for us to survive on our own. If we were to take important action, the dissent down there would drive people crazy. "
Lena Fox's troubles reminded Zhou Qingfeng of those unlucky people in Chinatown. They were also thousands of people trapped together, but they couldn't act together. They had been arguing for a week before, and now another week has passed, and they still haven't moved at all, waiting to die.
"So we should escape from New York, this place is not suitable for survival at all." Zhou Qingfeng looked at a map on the wall of Lena's office, "There are a lot of nuclear power plants on the west coast of the United States, and these nuclear power plants have been neglected. They have the potential to melt down the core and become Chernobyl after Chernobyl.”
So there is no way to stay on the West Coast.
"The situation on the east coast is similar. There are many nuclear power plants there, and there are many big cities there. What's worse, according to the nuclear war plan formulated by the Soviets, once a nuclear bomb washes the land, nuclear weapons will be destroyed. Destroy every town in America with a population of 50,000 or more."
So there is no way to go to the east coast, and everyone can only choose remote places to run.
"And without fuel, the winter in the north will become extremely difficult. Although it is August, we can only run south. But if we go directly south into Mexico, the infrastructure there is very poor. It's not going to be easy either."
So Zhou Qingfeng finally used a red pen to draw a circle in the middle of the southern part of the map of the United States, "We have to rebuild our homeland here."
"It's too far away." Lena Fox said.
It's really too far, more than 2,000 kilometers away. If the roads are smooth, it will take a day or two to drive. Now that the roads are not smooth, it may take one or two months. As for flying, the airport has been out of service for a long time now, big planes can't fly into the sky, and small planes can't carry much.
"We have to have a boat. We also have to have all kinds of materials and people to rebuild our homes." When it comes to people, Zhou Qingfeng also feels that there are too few people around him. As for the problem of the ship, it is also a big trouble. Sailors, captains, and fuel are needed, and there are too many things needed.
But if these things are not prepared, the dense corpses on the escape road in New York are a living lesson. Going on the road without preparing anything, isn't that courting death? Do you really think an angel will come to save you? Go to hell!
Lena sighed and said, "Fortunately, we still have more than two months to prepare."
"No, we only have a month at most. You can't count the time on the way to escape. We'll go all the way south from New York along the West Coast, and it will take at least a month. God knows what troubles there will be?"
In this way, time is running out.
"Food is easy to talk about, but we need people." Zhou Qingfeng thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I remember that in the last issue of Doomsday, there was a slave trade organization, find it out and let me have a look. If it doesn't work, let's just keep slaves never mind."
Problems that can be solved by violence do not seem to be problems. (To be continued.) Enable new URL
