blood plague

Chapter 276 Newcomer

After the torrential rain brought by the typhoon subsided, the great migration of survivors, which was 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 the permanent checkpoint needs to be stationed 24 hours a day.

For the convenience of stationing, this checkpoint is even connected to electricity, and a huge bold "safe" is nailed on the wall of the house with green light strips. It does not look so conspicuous during the day, but at night it will probably be very eye-catching.

Power guarantee is undoubtedly the best demonstration of the stability of Puduo County. Many people have not seen electricity for a long time. A simple electronic display has attracted everyone's attention. The display reads Various notices that need to be paid attention to when entering Purdue County.

All the vehicles that need to enter Puduo County are queuing up on the road. The field staff holds a tablet computer and registers the applicants one by one according to the requirements, and then another field team member will issue a road note with time to them , and inform that this road entry needs to be kept properly. With the road entry, you can enjoy trade discounts in any sub-team of the Gospel team.

A huge off-road vehicle lined up and slowly came to the checkpoint registration office, and then a petite girl jumped out of the vehicle.

"Hello, welcome to Puduo County, please abide by our order here, just like before the catastrophe." The female field service member at the registration office took the trouble to repeat the above words to every visitor, as if It's like a police officer giving a Miranda warning to a suspect.

"Hi, my name is Dina Cairns." Dina said politely to the female players.

"What about your family members, tell them to get off together. Everyone needs to register." The female team member looked up at Dina and said to her.

"Uh, I'm alone." Dina said to the female players.

"Louis!" After hearing Dina's answer, the female player turned her head and shouted.

After a while, a group of guards in full heavy gear surrounded the off-road vehicle with various types of guns in their hands, and then a guard carefully reached out and opened the door.

The front row is empty.

The back row is empty.

Trunk, empty.

It turned out that there was really no one.

I have encountered the matter of concealing passers-by several times. Usually, such concealed personnel have many troubles. It is not that they should not be let in, but that they need to be treated differently, otherwise putting one in is tantamount to letting them in. I found a troublemaker.

Unexpectedly, this girl was really alone.

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 members: "My team is far away from here, and they probably won't come here for a while."

"Come on, take it, here is your way." The female team member handed the way with simple information to Dina, and then said to her: "How can a lady like you come here alone? If you have any troubles, 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 took the road sign and returned to the off-road vehicle. After she honked the horn thankfully, she crossed the checkpoint and drove towards the front of the road.

Another lone ranger.

Everyone is not surprised by this kind of thing, but this girl is relatively young.

But in this world, the more abnormal the behavior of people, the more it means that they have something wrong, such as the head of the group.

Whether it is Iger or Bill, their abilities fully demonstrate that age is not an important criterion for judging a person.

……

This is the green zone.

Dina looked around curiously while driving, and she found that the biggest change was the disappearance of scrapped cars that could be seen everywhere along the way.

Some cars were moved under the roadbed, if not cleared away.Without those things in the way, the road is now very smooth.

Dina secretly took out her mobile phone. She inserted the mobile phone into the bracket 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 the destination, and the estimated time is 1 hour and 54 minutes. "

Dina glanced at the cruising mileage meter on the dashboard, and the car showed that the cruising mileage was 109 kilometers.

The air conditioner in the car had been turned off a long time ago, and Dina sacrificed her newly trained golden right foot, preparing to use precise foot control to fill the 18-kilometer vacancy.

After walking forward for tens of kilometers, the situation was not as good as Dina imagined. The kilometers to the destination and the cruising kilometers decreased year-on-year. Even with the extreme fuel-saving method, the car could not reach Jixi Town.

Could it be that the last part had to be walked?
Then, on the outskirts of a small town with ugly dirt walls, Dina found a gas station.

There is nothing unusual about the gas station, there are gas stations along the way, but what is strange is that this is a gas station that is in business.

Dina saw people in uniforms refueling passing vehicles.They didn't just add fuel to the gas tanks of the cars, but also to the big metal drums that the men brought with them.

The off-road vehicle drove to a gas station and stopped. After turning off the car, Dina opened the door and jumped out.

"Hello, I want to refuel. How do you bill here?" Dina asked the staff friendly.

"Road." The field worker didn't turn on the green light for Dina because of her sweet smile. You have to look at the road when you come on.

……

This is a new rule made by Iger and Andy. Other products can be exchanged directly with fuel coupons, but fuel is not.

The road time is 2 weeks and 14 days. During the 14 days, you can use the road to trade fuel supplies, but if you have not settled down for more than 14 days, then the transaction will be prohibited. Simply put, it is to drive people outside unless The migrants settled down.

The reason why Andy and Iger set the standard in this way is to prevent those homeless people who are used to running around from wasting fuel in unnecessary places.

After the team settled down, they went to Jixi Town to report, and the accompanying personnel went to check the station and verified it, and then they could receive a plastic-enclosed ID card. Only with the ID card could they go to the gas station to refuel.

As for the identification card, Nicholas worked desperately to design it a few days ago, and finally got it out.

In fact, it is not difficult to design an identification card that is difficult to imitate. The current color printing and plastic sealing technology using special paper basically eliminates 99.99% of imitation.

The reason why it took Nicholas a few days to come up with it was mainly because it was hard to agree with everyone. The manuscript was rejected one draft after another. Nicholas felt that his hair was shrinking rapidly, and he was crazy and wanted to go to the field as soon as possible.

Erica is also in Pudo City, and now Pudo City is almost becoming a private meeting place for Nicholas and Erica.

After finally completing this single task, Nicholas immediately applied to Andy, and he would volunteer to go to the front to kill the enemy.

Facing Andy, Nicholas should have been a little embarrassed; or, facing Nicholas, Andy should have been a little embarrassed.

These are not important, the important thing is that the two of them acted nonchalantly now, which made the people next to them feel embarrassed and wanted to pick their feet in embarrassment.

……

The field team took a look at the road sign, it was today's date, this is a newcomer.So the field team member said to Dina: "You need to use fuel coupons to refuel. For specific exchange requirements, you can go to the gas station to check."

After Dina locked the car, she went inside the gas station.

That's great, there's air-conditioning here, so comfortable.

Dina followed the guide and came to a wall of the gas station. There was a wall full of exchange price lists for various commodities.

Dina didn't notice that this place is only responsible for redeeming fuel coupons. If you want to use fuel coupons to buy goods, you need to go to other places.

There, people will see another price list, and those who are more sensitive to prices will find that the price over there is 25% higher than here.

It took Dina 2 minutes to read through all the 776 items in the catalog. It seemed that what she had in hand was not enough to exchange for enough fuel.

At the end, she saw a note, which said: "Exchange for high-value goods that are not in the catalogue, please negotiate."

Seeing this, Dina excitedly came to the clerk, and happily asked this polite little brother, "Excuse me, how much can the XV Cheetah Enhancer be sold for?"

……

"Colonel Bella, she is the one who wants to sell the booster." After the field team opened the VIP lounge of the gas station, Bella walked in, and she saw a girl sitting there obediently.

Just now, when he heard that someone was going to exchange for a strange high-value product, the field brother didn't show any contempt because of the seller's appearance. He invited Dina to the VIP lounge very seriously, and then served her A drink was brought—a glass of cold water—and she was asked to wait a moment.

Sandra and Bella are juggling a mountain of housework together, a time when incoming orders are high and require instant updates.Fortunately, there is electricity now. Sandora uses a computer to register and calculate, and then uses a printer to print out the forms for archiving.

The back office efficiency of the reclamation team in Rose Town is much higher than that of the Gospel team in Rapid Creek Town. The main reason is that Sister Maria is not very good at using computers, and she is used to using notebooks and pens.

Sandra didn't have this problem, her fingers were typing fast on the keyboard.

At this time, a field team member came in to report that a girl had come to the gas station to exchange for a strange high-value transaction item.

"Type 15 cheetah enhancer?" Sandora was also confused when she heard the report from the field team.It sounds like a combat potion, but Iger has banned the use of excitatory combat potions, and even if it is collected, it can only be resold.

There are also a large number of homemade combat potions in Jixi Town, and the price is very high, so similar products may not be very easy to sell.

When Sandora was weighing whether to accept the goods from the commercial value, Bella stood up suddenly, and she asked the field team in a stern tone: "How many people are there in the seller? Where are they?"

"There is only one person, resting in the VIP lounge of the gas station." The field team member said to Bella.

"I'll be there right away." Bella put a stack of reports on the table after she finished speaking, and she said to Sandra, "Sorry, I'll leave the rest to you first."

Sandora nodded, and after watching Bella leave, she sighed deeply.

I've always gotten a C- in math, and these things are just too hard for me.

Bella walked quickly towards the gas station, and she heard a very special name.

Cheetah Enhancer, this is a potion that only the vanguard on the battlefield is qualified to use. The model Bella knows is Type XI.Many people misread Type XI Cheetah Enhancer as "XI Type 1 Cheetah Enhancer". In fact, "XI" is a Greek letter that means 11.

This time the seller actually wants to exchange the XV type, this alone is extremely important information.

It's not that the effect of this cheetah potion is very strong, well, the effect of this potion is indeed very strong.

Type XI cheetah enhancer can improve a person's nerve response speed and muscle explosive power by 10%.

Regardless of the 10%, this is the difference between 10 seconds per 9 meters and [-] seconds per [-] meters.

The Type XV should be stronger.

But this is not the key, the key information is how and where they got this potion.

Bella came to the gas station and 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 that there are not many people driving this kind of off-road vehicle now.

This kind of full-size 8-cylinder off-road vehicle generally has a fuel consumption of more than 18L per [-] kilometers, and ordinary people generally cannot support the daily use of this 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 solemnly: "Colonel of the US Army, Bella Malan."

"Hello, Colonel." Dina hurriedly stood up and returned a military salute to Bella, and then said, "Dina Cairns. I have only joined for less than half a year. I don't know what rank it is, but they say it should be a captain. "

"Less than half a year?" Bella keenly discovered the new situation, and she asked Dina, "Captain, did you join the army after the blood plague broke out?"

"Ah, ah!" Dina said nervously, "I'm a civil servant, no, in fact, the employment contract says business operation. Anyway, I have never had a military rank before, and after the blood epidemic broke out, they said that unified management is needed, so It was only when the military rank was added to everyone. The military rank is directly linked to personal treatment, for example, my treatment is higher than that of Silly Wade."

"Okay, business matters are 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 private 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?"
