The Terra Travel Diary of Neither Sacred, Rhea, nor Terra

But for a rescue team of only more than 70 people, it is still a huge number.

95: The Involved Trio

Thinking about how to make the majority of the possible 4,000

Kal'tsit, who was escorting a large number of infected people back to the factory, moved her ears slightly.

"mon3tr!" A ferocious beast appeared from behind Kal'tsit and rushed to a corner of the safe house.

"Who's there?"

The person caught by mon3tr summoned by Kal'tsit was not the stalker of John's mother.

Instead, it was a guy wearing a black jacket and big sunglasses who looked like a gangster.

This guy is indeed a gangster. Under his unbuttoned black jacket is a white T-shirt with a "red hand" logo.

"Jack? Where are the others?" Hammer, who recognized who this gang member was, came over and asked.

Because mon3tr grabbed him by the clothes and hung him up, Jack, who was almost peeing, took a long time to see something familiar in the only remaining eye of the hammer.

"Adam? Are you Adam?" Jack asked in an uncertain tone.

"It's me." Chongchui nodded in a muffled voice, and then repeated his previous question.

Because she recognized the other party's identity, Kal'tsit ordered mon3tr to release the Red Hand gang member named Jack.

Jack, who almost fell down due to his weak legs, did not answer the question of the heavy hammer. Instead, he asked the heavy hammer with a caring and curious tone:

"How did you become like this?"

At the same time, Jack looked around and soon saw a familiar figure among the infected workers of the rescue team.

Compared to the current appearance of the hammer, Jack recognized the others at first sight.

"I went through some transformation." Heavy Hammer didn't go into detail because he was not sure whether Miku would allow him to tell others about the Crusaders.

Is this called some transformation? Jack silently complained in his heart and said to the hammer and all the rescue team members:

"From the looks of you guys, you probably know the cold wave is coming, right?"

"So you went to the shelter where you can avoid the cold wave?" Kal'tsit asked with a slight nod.

Since these infected people also know that the cold wave is coming, they will definitely take some self-rescue measures.

This secure warehouse located on the surface is definitely not usable.

"Oh, without heating and electricity, we will freeze to death if we stay in the shelter." Jack shook his head and said, "Boss Lei Shi took everyone to the power area at the bottom."

Every block of a mobile city has its own power area, otherwise it would be impossible for them to go their separate ways when a natural disaster strikes.

"Power area? That's indeed a good idea, but the problem is that the power area of ​​the mobile city block is also a high-pollution area." Kal'tsit asked.

Most of the mobile cities' power areas use purified Originium as their energy source.

No matter what method is used to purify the Originium, or no matter how good the safety measures are, some Originium contamination is inevitable.

So under normal circumstances, workers in the power area must at least wear a protective mask.

"Hehe, it's better than freezing to death." Jack smiled self-deprecatingly.

All infected people are well aware that staying in a polluted area, even a low-pollution area, for a long time is likely to aggravate their condition.

But compared with the coming cold wave, a high possibility is just a high possibility.

"How many of you are there?" Kal'tsit asked.

"One or two thousand, two or three thousand?" Jack couldn't give a definite answer.

Either he was not responsible for the resettlement of other infected people, or those infected people were now in chaos.

Knowing that the latter was more terrifying than natural disasters and cold waves, Kal'tsit continued without hesitation:

"Take us there immediately."

"Take you? Are you here to help us?" It was Hammer who answered Jack, and the other infected workers nodded in sync.

"I have to contact Boss Lei Shi. Forget it. Why contact him at this time? Just follow me first."

Jack gave up the task of searching for possible missed food without thinking of any other possibilities.

He led the rescue team into the underground passage.

This time, they went all the way down to the bottom level of this city block.

As we went deeper into the underground area, the air became more and more turbid, and some never-ending mechanical sounds echoed along the pipes in every corner.

After passing through a gate, the already very turbid air suddenly became even more turbid, emitting a disgusting smell mixed with various slop.

The Rhodes Island operators who were not wearing breathing masks subconsciously raised their arms to cover their mouths and noses.

"Put on a protective mask." Kal'tsit said as she put on a green breathing mask, and also put one on Amiya beside her.

The transformed infected workers didn't need these things, but the air readings that appeared in front of them still made them frown.

If this kind of polluted air environment occurs in Rhine Life's factory, production will need to be stopped immediately for overall cleaning.

After walking a few more steps, you can see many infected residents squatting, lying or leaning against the pipes.

These infected residents, both big and small, were sorting out the cans they had just eaten and handing them over to the Red Hand Gang members who were pushing a garbage cart.

Seeing the rescue team, some of the infected residents

They were in a panic, but calmed down after seeing Jack leading them.

Some of the younger people still showed a glimmer of hope in their eyes, but no one asked anything. They all moved their bodies on their own initiative to make the narrow passage a little wider.

Going further inside, we saw more and more infected people hiding here. Because there was really no place to stay, the whole area looked messy and the hygiene level was terrible.

But even so, there was no crying, instead there were only sounds of encouragement and comforting each other that would not affect others.

Members of the Red Hand Gang and some other gangs kept shuttling among the infected people, providing all possible help to these infected residents.

Among these gang members, the most eye-catching one is Lei Shi, the leader of the Red Hand Gang, who is at least three times larger than the others.

After noticing Mr. Blood in the rescue team, the Minoan man who was entertaining the children immediately distributed all the candies in his hand, walked quickly to the rescue team, and shouted to Huafalin excitedly:

"Mr. Blood? Why are you here?"

"What else can I do? Of course I'm here to help you." Huafalin said to Lei Shi in a tone of scolding a child.

In Huafalin's eyes, Lei Shi, this burly guy, is no different from a child.

Lei Shi immediately became excited when he heard Huafalin say this, although he had been trying very hard to maintain order here.

But Lei Shi also knew that staying here was definitely not a long-term solution. Neither the harsh environment nor the severe shortage of supplies could sustain it for long.

Before Huafalin brought the rescue team, Lei Shi just hoped that this cold wave would not be too cold and would pass quickly, so that fewer people would die after it passed.

"How many people are there here?" Hua Falin asked directly without caring about Lei Shi's excitement.

"2023 people" Lei Shi immediately put away his thoughts and answered a number that was much less than the estimated number.

It seems that even though John's mother closed the border, many infected people still escaped from this city.

As soon as Lei Shi finished speaking, a doctor wearing a mask, a white coat that had turned gray and black, and a stethoscope hanging around his neck trotted over.

Seeing Lei Shi talking to Mr. Xue, the doctor did not interrupt him, but just raised his hand and gestured a number.

"It's 2020 now, Mr. Blood." Lei Shi showed a trace of sadness on his face.

The harsh environment has seriously affected the health of these residents. Many of them were already in the late stage of oripathy and could not hold on any longer.

"Let everyone pack up and let's go to the factory." Huafalin gave the order to Lei Shi without wasting time.

Because of the relationship between Mr. Blood, Huafalin, and Lei Shi, the other members of the rescue team, including Kal'tsit and Amiya, did not say much.

"Factory? Which factory?" Lei Shi was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Huafalin meant.

"Is there a second factory in this area that can be used as a shelter?" Huafalin asked back.

Through Huafalin's reaction, Lei Shi also noticed the Rhine life symbol on the main force of the rescue team behind Huafalin, that is, the infected workers who were transformed into crusaders.

"Rhine Life's factory? But isn't it surrounded by John's mother's people?" If he had encountered such a thing in the past, Lei Shi would definitely go to find Rhine Life's people as soon as possible.

But now the factory is surrounded by John's mother's troops because of a company war.

"It's better to give it a try than to stay here and wait to die." Huafalin said to Lei Shi.

"Emmm, go through the underground pipe?" Lei Shi, as if inspired by Mr. Xue's words, began to think of a way.

The first thing he thought of was to drill through the underground pipe, but after a while, he discovered the disadvantages of this method.

If there were not many people, there wouldn't be much of a problem using this method. However, due to the shortage of maintenance personnel in this area, the underground environment is not suitable for long-distance movement of more than 2,000 people.

In case of any sudden situation or attack, it is easy to be distracted because the passage is narrow.

More importantly, it would definitely not be fast for so many people to walk through the underground passage. If a cold wave comes while they are walking, it would be terrible.

The best solution is to find a suitable area on the surface and force your way in.

Lei Shi's way of thinking is also the best method analyzed by Kal'tsit and Doberman when the rescue team was on the way.

As long as the speed is fast enough, breaking through a gap before John's mother's troops can react, it will be much faster than in the underground passage.

The problem now is how to break through John's mother's defense line as quickly as possible, and after breaking through the defense line, defend against the attacks of John's mother's troops.

"Leave it to us, Boss Leishi." Chongchui said in a muffled voice.

"...Adam, is that so?" Like Jack, Lei Shi took a while to figure out that the "robot" in front of him, who was as strong as himself, was the short Adam from before.

"You've changed so much." Lei Shi said with emotion.

Although Adam has a nickname called Shorty, that was only because Adam did not develop well when he was a child and was always protected by Lei Shi behind him, so he was called Shorty.

Actually

After joining Rhine Life Factory, Adam has become a strong and energetic young man.

It’s just that his physique is not as exaggerated as Lei Shi’s, otherwise he would not have been selected as the first candidate to sign the contract with the Crusader Army.

"We are very powerful now." The heavy hammer, who is as tall as his eldest brother, looks like the boss and says, "Just stay by our side and everything will depend on our performance."

"You kid, when did you become so arrogant?" Lei Shi hit the metal plate on the chest of the heavy hammer, then turned around and shouted to the many infected residents who were watching this side:

"Everyone move! We are going to move to another place."

After hearing what Boss Lei Shi said, the infected residents immediately stood up, packed up their things and prepared to move.

Watching this scene, Doberman did not say anything to the infected people, telling them not to carry anything and to keep everything simple.

Because these infected people don’t have much in their hands.

"Also, those who can and are willing to fight, come out. We have a tough battle ahead of us."

Lei Shi looked like he didn't want people like Chongchui to be in the spotlight alone.

After hearing his boss's words, Chongchui looked like hesitant to speak, just like the instructor Doberman beside him.

But like Doberman, Heavy Hammer said nothing in the end.

After a while, these infected residents were ready to be transferred, and nearly three or four hundred people volunteered to become warriors.

Most of them are gang thugs, and there is no shortage of members of the Red Hand Gang.

"You, you, and all of you, why are you all joining in the fun? Don't your family members care about you?" Lei Shi, who passed by these gathered infected people, would ask one or some of them to roll back to the others every time he walked past them.

Lei Shi knew very well that attacking the positions of a large company's army like John's mother was no joke. Especially now that he had few weapons at hand, it was a life-or-death mission.

After streamlining the team, Lei Shi assembled a temporary force of about a hundred people, and these troops included not only infected people.

There is also a Luper who uses a beam sword as a weapon, a Sakota with a guardian gun, and a Filin girl.

"You...what are you going to do?" Lei Shi remembered these two unlucky kids who called themselves Penguin Logistics.

According to these two people, they originally planned to escort the film girl next to them to leave Tikarendo through the drainage pipes in the infected area.

But as the corporate war unfolded, all escape routes in this area were blocked by infected residents who wanted to leave.

This is also the reason why there are so few infected people in this underground shelter. Many infected residents have already fled into the wilderness.

John's mother's troops, who did not want all the infected people to escape, quickly blocked all the drainage pipes, and then trapped the two unlucky corporate logistics members and their customers in the block.

With the arrival of the cold wave alert, the three of them had no choice but to follow Lei Shi to this underground shelter.

Fortunately, the boss of Penguin Logistics, the emperor, is also a big shot in Colombia.

Not only did Lei Shi not make things difficult for the three of them, he also specially arranged a location with a better environment for them... but no matter how good it was, it wasn't much better.
