Chapter 1911: Dependence of People's Heart

Heading north along Interstate 5, a large armed convoy entered Washington State from Oregon. The convoy includes armored vehicles, and there are even armed helicopter escorts hovering overhead, and the security defense is tight.

In the convoy, Lena Fox pressed the button and gently lowered the heavy windows of the bulletproof car, feeling the gust of wind blowing in from the outside. The guard in charge of her safety immediately stopped her and said in a deep voice: "Ms. Fox, it is very dangerous for you to do so."

Yes, very dangerous.

The wilds of North America are currently full of dangers, not just mutant humans wandering around, even the air contains viruses. Although Miss Fox's physical resistance is very strong, the guards still trust the air filtration equipment in the bulletproof car to avoid any danger.

Because there were slower armored vehicles in the convoy, Lena Fox's speed wasn't too fast. As she passed through the towns along the way, she couldn't do without some observation.

But... the sight was not very pleasant.

In just one month, the fields were abandoned, open-air work ceased altogether, and people were once again living off their own hoards. This time the catastrophe is even more dangerous, because the killers who take people's lives are hidden in the air we breathe and the water we drink.

"How long until Seattle?" Lena Fox asked. This time she went to the Freemasons occupying Washington State for a cooperative visit, and tried to get the Freemasons to join the ranks against the Enclave.

But President Franklin of the Freemasonry has been pushing three obstacles. But now that the plague is rampant, the Aurora Legion's understanding of Seattle has also come to a standstill. Expatriates were either withdrawn or died, and it was difficult for the Aurora Legion to obtain real information from distant regions.

This time, Miss Fox is going to have a good talk with the Freemasons in person, and she won't allow that old fox Franklin to continue to sit on the fence, and must squeeze some oil from him. Zhou Qingfeng asked to 'unite all forces that can be united'. To put it bluntly, it means not allowing others to be easily neutral.

Looking at the map and comparing it with the inertial navigation along the way, the guard gave the answer: "There is still one hour left, and we are actually approaching the periphery of the Seattle city circle."

The buildings of a city can be destroyed by nuclear bombs, but the geographical environment on which a city thrives will not change easily. After the cataclysm, Seattle was still an important city in North America, and the Freemasonry relied on this city to make a fortune.

However, after approaching the city circle, Miss Fox could not see any personnel activities in the city. She thought she would see a human settlement that was heavily guarded by the military and the epidemic, making it difficult to enter. But in fact, the road leading to Seattle is very smooth, not even a ghost can be seen.

There are no citizens, no military police, no welcome team, everyone is closed, and even the radio signal responsible for contact is intermittent. The contact person claimed to be the special assistant to the president of the Freemasonry, but his speech was weak, his wording was confusing, and his words were confusing.

Under such inexplicable circumstances, Lena Fox arrived in Seattle, the stronghold of the Freemasons. When she got off the station in front of the Masonic Conference Building, what she saw was an empty building.

The legion personnel who were in charge of contacting in advance also became unclear, so they could only explain to Miss Fox: "When I contacted them three days ago, there were still people here."

It is impossible to conduct diplomacy in the wasteland in the normal way in the past. Now that North America is being harassed by a severe plague, it is difficult to find anyone.

"Go in and have a look." Lena Fox stood under the steps of the building and waved her hand, and a group of soldiers in power armor immediately entered with guns. She herself walked casually on the street in front of the building—it was a mess, devastated, and the city was quiet, and no one could be seen.

There are traces of looting in the city, and broken windows and doors can be seen everywhere. Occasionally, a few corpses can be seen on the road, which is really a disgrace. This also shows that the city has been in a state of anarchy.

"Ms. Fox, you'd better stay in the car." The guard leader didn't want Lena Fox to wander around.

"This city is too weird."

Lena Fox waved her hand indifferently, and said calmly: "Don't worry too much, the situation is probably the opposite of what you think, this city is probably abandoned. People are all fleeing under some kind of terrible threat."

After a while, the armored soldiers who searched the Masonic headquarters building ran back clanging and clanging. They also dragged a sloppy middle-aged man to Miss Fox, threw him heavily on the ground and said, "Ma'am, this guy is the one who tricked us over the radio."

The scruffy middle-aged man fell to the ground, neither panic nor joy. He looked up lazily at the armed men who surrounded him, and finally set his eyes on Lena Fox.

"Ms. Fox, I really didn't expect you to come. This is the time of the plague epidemic, and it is not suitable to travel far. I always thought you were just talking. But I didn't lie to you, I am indeed the special assistant to the president."

The slovenly man stood up straight, but still slouched, "I'm afraid your trip was in vain. There is no one here who can negotiate with you."

"What exactly happened?" Lena Fox asked sternly, "I came to meet President Franklin according to the prior arrangement. Where is he?"

The legion diplomat who was in charge of arranging the meeting rushed to ask, "I met President Franklin three days ago, and your situation was not as bad as it is now."

The sloppy man smiled wryly, "You also know that was three days ago, and a lot of things happened in these three days. The president..., I don't know where he went. The people in the city are fleeing, you guys The ones I saw three days ago were the last ones to escape."

Before Lena Fox came, she knew that Seattle's airport was out of service, so she couldn't come directly by plane. She was mentally prepared for the terrible situation of the Freemasons, but the worst imagining was that Seattle was falling into social chaos out of control, and she never expected that the city was almost empty.

Freemasonry is tantamount to a natural collapse, falling apart.

"Your president promised to meet me three days ago."

"At that time, he just wanted to take advantage of the asymmetry of information to get some benefits from you, but he couldn't maintain the situation in the city. He couldn't maintain it for a second, so he disappeared without a trace. It is said that he went to North America Canada, but was attacked and died on the way.”

"Where did the people in your city go?"

"Any place where you can escape, no one wants to stay in the city anyway. Because the president delivered a speech criticizing David Lawrence a week ago, he thought that cursing people could improve his reputation, but there was one on the same day. A missile hit a telecommunications center in Seattle.

People in the city said that the missile carried a biochemical warhead, and the president immediately sent someone to block the telecommunications center. He didn't care if there was a problem with the people in the telecom center, he regarded those people as infected and killed them all.

But soon this so-called 'preventive' killing got out of control, and the scope of the killing quickly expanded. When some members of the military and police also developed some terrible symptoms, the government could no longer control the situation, and disintegration and flight were inevitable. "

"We're finished, everything happened too fast." The slovenly man said dejectedly, but Lena Fox could imagine the chaos and panic in the city at that time. The Freemasonry always thought that it was safe to stay away from the front-line battlefield, but when people realized that death was right in front of them, they were more likely to lose their minds.

Regarding the description of the sloppy man, Lina could only sigh a few words of comfort and said: "Don't worry, we are here to help you. We have developed a vaccine and specific medicine against the 'Enclave virus', and we have the ability to solve the current epidemic .”

A simple sentence is like thunder and vibrations in the sloppy man's ears. He looked at Lena Fox in disbelief, a thousand words filled his chest but he didn't know what to say. With trembling lips, he said, "Vaccines? Do you have vaccines? Please, please..."

As if verbal expression was not enough to express his strong need, the slovenly man ignored the resistance of the armored soldiers and simply knelt down and crawled towards Lena Fox, stammering, "Help us, please help us, we have too many Many people need help.

I stayed in the headquarters building just to hope for a miracle to happen, but I didn't expect you to really come. What does the Aurora Legion want? The land will be given to you, the population will be surrendered, and the property will also belong to you. As long as it can save us, take everything you like.

We've had enough, we've really had enough. Let this endless apocalypse end, Victor Hugo can be emperor if he wants to, we have no objection, we really have no objection. We just want to live, we want nothing else. "

The sloppy man wailed with snot and tears, and begged on his hands and feet on his knees. He was already desperate for this world and just wanted to commit suicide to end his own life, but he didn't expect a savior to come at this time.

It seems that the residents of North America are really displaced and have reached the end of the cliff of despair. No one can withstand such repeated tossing. Another natural disaster, another man-made disaster, another war, another plague, I really have had enough!

Go to hell with any cultural, racial, and ideological obstacles at this time. It doesn't matter who is the ruler, the survivors just want to live a peaceful life.

Lena Fox was originally thinking about how to tie the Freemasons to her chariot, but looking at the current situation, she sighed and said: "This is what Victor wants. The means are not important, the key is As a result... the hearts of the people have been attached, and the next step is to unify the world!"
