Chapter 1906 Come to Die
Simon and his party drove east, along the desolate highway to Mississippi. Several people felt that the air seemed to be fresher after escaping, and the oppressive atmosphere in the small town disappeared with the wind, and the joy of speeding forward was always pleasant.
On the way forward, Simon and others also found sporadic vehicles in the same direction as them. Although the vehicles kept due vigilance and did not say hello, everyone was obviously defecting to the Enclave. This made Simon feel that his decision was correct.
"What kind of army and police can hold guns? This bullshit 'gun ban' clearly deprives our people of the right to own weapons."
"I don't like the Aurora Legion at all, even if it sends me a wife. I want a woman to grab it by myself."
"I'm really fed up with the rules of being a policeman. Our policemen in the past didn't have so many restrictions. We killed people as we wanted, and the courts wouldn't convict us. But now the legion has arranged a lot of work for us. I I don’t want to do it anymore.”
The road to escape was too dull, and Simon, who was driving for a while, took the initiative to chat and complain with a few of his subordinates, scolding his former boss fiercely. Everyone is going to defect to the Enclave now, and cursing the Aurora Legion can stabilize the mood.
The scenery on the way to escape is monotonous, and they can only relieve their boredom by cursing their mothers. Due to the terrible virus situation, the Enclave and Aurora Legion forces are now completely disengaged. A demilitarized zone with a width of more than 200 kilometers, or no man's land, appeared between the front lines of the two sides.
There are few people in this area, and life is cut off. Occasionally, a few fast-moving shadows can be seen, which are often mutants who survived the infection of the 'Enclave Virus'.
Hungry mutants prowl for food. Some vehicles passing through no-man's land were attacked, and the people in the vehicles were feasted on by mutants. Simon and the others didn't expect this at all, and they rushed through this area after repeated dangers.
After escaping for a day, Simon and others finally arrived at the Enclave's defense zone. And just when they were about to enter a city called 'Jackson' with joy, a tall wall appeared on the road on the outskirts of the city.
"Listen, people from the west, don't come close. Otherwise, we will shoot you to death." On the fence five or six meters high, several soldiers operating heavy machine guns aimed at the direction of the road. A junior officer of the Enclave shouted through the tweeter, stopping Simon and the others from moving forward.
Simon, who is driving at high speed, still hasn't figured out what's going on? The heavy machine gun on the opposite side fired demonstratively, hitting the road ground so that it smoked.
Simon, who came full of hope, was frightened and hurriedly stepped on the brakes and stopped on the road. After sweating profusely from shock, he realized that the ground 100 meters away from the front wall was already full of bullet holes. This was obviously not a warning specifically for him, but for all those who came to defect.
What's going on?
Simon and the others were taken aback. They thought they were going to go through a security check, so they obediently raised their hands and got out of the car. Then they clearly heard the sound of the Enclave's horn on the opposite side, which was exactly the same as the words of Legion Town's refusal of others to approach - if you want to die, stay away, we will not save you.
How could this be? You obviously sent us anti-rebellion leaflets asking us to join us, and you also said that as long as you come, all the treatment will be the same, and you will guarantee that the standard of living will not drop. You can't trick us here and leave it alone!
There is a kind of despair called 'cold head to toe', which is how Simon feels now. He was bored with the work and life of the Aurora Legion, and came to the Enclave full of resentment. But now the Enclave doesn't take him in?
People in the wilderness can't make such jokes!
Simon raised his hands and shouted at the wall a hundred meters away. But no matter what he shouted, it was difficult for his voice to reach the other side. And as long as he dared to approach, the opposite side would definitely fire to stop him.
Perhaps because of pity for Simon and the others, the Enclave officer on the fence shouted again through the loudspeaker: "Either drive back, or go to the quarantine camp outside the city. In short, don't come near us. You are not welcome here."
Get back? Simon drove more than 200 kilometers,
Traveling through dangerous no man's land is not for sightseeing. He and a few of his subordinates could only rush to the so-called 'quarantine camp' in a hurry.
The quarantine camp is a shack area outside the city. There is not even a tent here, only a large number of 'buildings' built randomly with plastic sheets and wooden sticks. Sloppy people lay down at will, and some even fell into the mud.
The outside of the quarantine camp is very messy, and there are a few houses inside that are slightly better, and they should be in control here. But the house is guarded by several armed men, and outsiders are not allowed to approach. Simon boldly stepped forward and asked, "Are there any official Enclave personnel here? We are here to defect."
As he spoke, Simon also took out the instigation leaflet he had kept. When he took out this thing, he was very careful, as if it was a life-saving talisman, for fear of breaking it. But the guard with the gun on the opposite side only took a glance and grinned, "Hahaha... Another idiot has been tricked."
cheated? Am I really being lied to?
Simon is no longer 'cold from head to toe', but his hands and feet are cold and trembling slightly. He would be heroic and short of breath, and his usual heroic energy that was not afraid of the sky and the earth disappeared, and he asked almost pleadingly: "Can you tell me what's going on?"
The guard with the gun jokingly said: "If you came before the outbreak, the Enclave would have taken you in. But after the outbreak, a large number of their own people were infected and died, and they would never accept any outsiders into the city. So there is no Enclave here." Lei official personnel, only those who are waiting to die.”
This passage was like a slap in the face, knocking Simon dizzy. A few subordinates behind him cried out in fright and mourned, "We should have known that we shouldn't have come. Although there are many restrictions on the legion, we have food and shelter anyway, and there is no danger. "
Just now, Simon and his group were still yelling at the legion, this is not good, that is not good, and now everyone feels that the legion is more comfortable. There is no harm if there is no comparison, but some mistakes can be remedied, but some reckless actions cannot be done casually.
Simon was decisive after staying for a few seconds, and he immediately turned around and drove back—although the 200-kilometer no-man's land is dangerous, just rush over, it's better than staying in this messy quarantine camp.
However, when Simon and the others came out of the quarantine camp, they found that their companion who stayed outside to guard the vehicle was lying on the ground and convulsing. His throat was cut with a knife on his neck, and his head was about to be broken when he pulled it halfway. The car is even missing.
The house leaks and it rains all night, how can I go back without a car?
Simon frantically asked the people nearby what was going on? The answer I got was simple—a group of people wanted to flee back to the Aurora Legion, but they had been suffering from no vehicles. The arrival of Simon and others is simply the gospel sent to them by God.
Nima, we have become the gospel of others, what should we do?
Simon's heart will be frozen into ice. If you have a car, you can try to cross the 200-kilometer-wide no-man's land. Crossing on foot is looking for death, and was eaten by hunting mutants halfway.
Simon anxiously asked if there was any other way to return to the territory of the Aurora Legion. When he said that he was not familiar with the situation here when he first came here, the crowd in the quarantine camp laughed at it—the Aurora Legion just announced a breakthrough in vaccine research and development, we all wanted to go to the Legion to survive, but you came to die.
Hahaha..., this is really a great irony!
