Eye of the Wasteland

Chapter 225 The Situation of the Homeless Stronghold (Part [-])
The cold wind is getting more and more bitter, and it has reached the point where it is still cold even though it is wearing a thick padded jacket.

Many armed jeeps lined up in a huge convoy, galloping forward on the cracked road.

Looking at the wasteland on both sides of the road through the car window, Chen Xiaojia said to Wu Yunhao beside him: "We don't have much time left."

"The temperature has only been a few degrees in the past two days, and it is estimated that it will break zero next week. There is not much time left for us."

Hearing what Chen Xiaojia said, Wu Yunhao didn't say much, but turned his head to look at the wasteland outside the car window.

Under the withered bushes and the bare tree trunks, a light hoarfrost has begun to appear on the yellow grass.

This is nature's reminder to all creatures on the wasteland that the harsh winter where the sky and the earth are white will come soon.

At the banquet in the city lord's mansion earlier, Wu Yunhao took over the jurisdiction of many homeless strongholds from the wasteland nobles in the inner city.

Although there are as many as 36 of these homeless strongholds, most of them only have a size of one to two hundred people.

These homeless strongholds have ups and downs with Fuyuan City and its subordinate survivors, and many of them are extremely rebellious.

In addition, there is not much oil and water, and they can't provide any resources. Generally, Fuyuan City sends some guards to manage it symbolically.

Now, if wasteland rangers want to take over these homeless strongholds, they must send guards to take over these homeless strongholds.

According to the current situation, the current strength of Wasteland Fist can manage and control these homeless strongholds, but the situation facing Wasteland Ranger is still very severe.

According to the situation reported by the Fist of the Waste teams after they settled in those homeless strongholds, these strongholds can be described as desperate.

There are not many food reserves, and even if there are some, it is just some horrible food.

Sprouted potatoes, moldy sweet potatoes, and maybe some unknown stuff in the storage cellar, which is said to be dried meat.

Moreover, most of these homeless strongholds are dilapidated, and many of them are abandoned small villages in the civilization era.

Not only are most of the buildings dilapidated, but also many buildings built indiscriminately for the purpose of expanding the stronghold. When the cold wind blows, not only the wind blows from all sides, but also crumbles.

In addition, because these homeless strongholds were rebuilt from those abandoned small villages, most of them were scattered settlements, and there was no decent stronghold planning at all.

Many strongholds don't even have wooden fences around them, let alone basic defenses such as watchtowers and walls.

These homeless strongholds can be said to have nothing to do.

Generally speaking, this kind of homeless stronghold can only survive through hard work in winter.

As for how many people die, it depends on luck.

But now that the wasteland rangers have taken over these homeless strongholds, what they can do is to try their best to keep as many people alive as possible in these homeless strongholds this winter.

While Wu Yunhao was thinking about how to help these hungry and cold homeless people survive this winter, the convoy drove into a dilapidated iron gate.

From the mottled advertisements on the iron fence, you can still vaguely see the atmosphere of farmhouse music.

By the time the convoy entered the relatively spacious survivor stronghold, many Wasteland Fist soldiers and the leaders of the homeless stronghold were waiting in the small square in front of the many messy buildings in the stronghold.

When many armed jeeps stopped, Wu Yunhao and Chen Xiaojia got out of the car accompanied by many wasteland rangers.

Seeing Wu Yunhao and Chen Xiaojia, Cao Chengan who was waiting here led a few people to greet them.

Because of Cao Chengan's outstanding performance in the Xinshan Village stronghold, he is not a rare management talent in the Wasteland Ranger team.

Wu Yunhao and Chen Xiaojia left Ding Shiyang, Fang Yu, and Mao Wendong in the outer city of Fuyuan City to continue to manage affairs. After Zhang Hongwei stayed in Xinshan Village, they transferred him to this homeless stronghold named Anze.

Seeing Wu Yunhao and Chen Xiaojia approaching him, Cao Chengan smiled and said to them, "Angkor, Sister Chen, you are here."

Cao Chengan seemed to be a bit more vicissitudes than Wu Yunhao and Chen Xiaojia when they left Xinshan Village, but his whole person was much more mature and steady.

He is completely different from when Wu Yunhao and Chen Xiaojia first met him.

If he was just a survivor city resident who failed to understand the wasteland at that time, now he is a qualified wanderer.

Wu Yunhao nodded towards Cao Chengan when he heard the words, while Chen Xiaojia said with a smile: "With you here, I think this winter will become less scary."

Cao Chengan smiled and said to Chen Xiaojia: "With what the captain said, I will do my best to keep these homeless strongholds as safe as possible during the winter."

Afterwards, Cao Chengan started to introduce to the stronghold standing at the side.

"These four are the original leaders of Anze stronghold, Cai Lei, Zhang Sanyu, Yue Bin, Shi Qianyun."

"Four, this is the captain of our Wasteland Ranger, Chen Xiaojia, and our famous Fuyuan City Wu Yunhao, Angkor."

After hearing Cao Chengan's introduction, the three middle-aged men and the middle-aged woman nodded to Wu Yunhao and Chen Xiaojia in awe.

Seeing this, Wu Yunhao and Chen Xiaojia smiled and nodded to the four leaders in front of them.

Although these four people all look like simple peasants in the countryside, but those who can survive the wasteland era should not be underestimated.

After simply exchanging greetings with Wu Yunhao and Chen Xiaojia with the leaders of the four Anze strongholds, Cao Chengan began to lead Wu Yunhao and Chen Xiaojia to tour the entire Anze stronghold accompanied by the four leaders.

The Anze stronghold is located in the northeast of Nanchang River. According to its geographical location, it belongs to the road transfer station between Fuyuan City and Xinshan Village. It can be regarded as a well-known homeless stronghold around Fuyuan City.

Because it used to be a large-scale farmhouse in the countryside, the Anze stronghold not only has housing for hundreds of people, but also more than ten acres of farmland that can grow food.

Also because it is not far from the Nanchang River, there are two wells with abundant water sources and pressure wells built in the civilization era, so the water resources are also abundant.

If it weren't for the extremely powerful strength of Fuyuan City itself, if it were an ordinary survivor city, I'm afraid it would have brought Anze stronghold under its control and turned it into a large collective farm.

Just after leading Wu Yunhao and Chen Xiaojia to visit Anze stronghold, Cao Chengan stopped his steps.

Seeing Cao Chengan's solemn expression, Wu Yunhao and Chen Xiaojia knew that he was going to tell them something about the winter plan.

Then, Cao Chengan said to Wu Yunhao and Chen Xiaojia: "Captain, Angkor, the situation we are facing this time is very serious."
