The Witch of the Cyberpunk Era

Chapter 899

"Messenger?" Petrov asked curiously.

Gabriella put the cap back on her nib, then absently took it off again.

"I spent tens of thousands of dollars to order 2.5 tons of food and tools from Jialongpo, which will be delivered by couriers," she said.

Petrov shook his head and smiled wryly.

"It's not that I don't believe your judgment, Major. But even if the messengers want to come to Seva Castle, the road will be full of difficulties. Their aircraft may crash a few kilometers away, or even make an emergency landing on the sea, asking us for help." Petro Husband Road.

"Isn't anyone able to reach Seva Castle?" Gabriela asked.

"..." Petrov said nothing.

Gabriela is holding a pen in each hand. She looks at the world map hanging on the other side of the wall. She stares silently for a long time, trying to imagine how people traveled around the world six years ago, buying a plane ticket, a train Tickets, to go far away, no, she can't think of it.

She only remembered that at the beginning, she took the train from Chiba City in the east, and followed the mighty army to recover the Great Northern Region for five days and five nights, but in an instant disaster struck, dividing people into different safe zones , in just a few minutes—she can count, it lasted about 6 minutes, people were blown away like gravel, melted like they were exposed to powerful radiation, and dismantled into pieces like they were dismembered, only those lucky enough to be in the room , and tried to suppress their curiosity survived.

Gabriela, who was here at the time, presided over the work in the bunker of Castel Seva, escaped with her life, and she had nothing but silence and sorrow.

"Anything else?" Gabriella asked.

"The ration ration has been reduced by another tenth. Ivan and others have not been on duty for several days. I don't know how to punish them. It seems that everyone is losing hope." Petrov said.

"Fort Seva is a symbol - if we give up that, we give up our pioneer flag," Gabriela said.

"If we all starved to defend it, it wouldn't be a symbol," Petrov complained.

Gabriella got up and patted Petrov on the shoulder: "Stay firm, comrade, the dark days have lasted for six years, but it won't be a lifetime. It's like a cold wave, it's just three years and it's gone. Just When these are the hardest nine years of our lives, one day will pass. More importantly, we have to set an example for others! You, comrade Petrov, a meritorious officer, a fearless Warrior, a model of a pioneering cause, if you fall too, what will others think?"

Petrov thought about it.

"I'm just wondering what's going on with the rest of the place. Major, if they all die, I don't know if there's really a Great North and a cause waiting for us to recover. But you're right, I swear , As long as the last flag has not fallen, I can't give up. It's just that I hope to send a message as soon as possible, not just words and encouragement - we need ammunition, bandages, food..." he said.

Just then, the radio on Gabriella's desk blared.

"Major! Here comes the messenger!"

Gabriella's body shook violently. She quickly grabbed her coat and put it on her body, and exchanged glances with Petrov. She was overjoyed. Petrov quickly put on his military cap and followed Gabriela. Behind Ella, rush out of the bunker and head to the airport in Seva Castle.

When they arrived at the airport, they saw a shuttle flying down from the sky staggeringly. It descended rapidly every ten seconds, then slowly lifted up, and then descended rapidly again.

"Is there something wrong with the power and the engine?" Gabriella put her hand on her forehead and looked out.

The Skywatcher issued a distress signal, then forced itself down in an extremely unsafe posture, and slammed into the ground with force. The whole machine made a crisp sound like an egg hitting a rock, and the engine issued a long and sharp whistle, followed by a complete crash. shut down.

Xu Cheng and Pao Pao struggled to open the door and got off the shuttle. The two stumbled and walked on the ground, almost lying on the ground, sweating profusely and nervous. Followed by Lianhua, Shahua and Minggongqiao.

Many people had already surrounded the airport. The residents and soldiers of Fort Seva pointed at the shuttle, curious, wanting to know what the messenger brought here.

Gabriella strode forward and saluted them: "Welcome to Fort Seva! I am Major Gabriella, commander of the Guards Infantry Regiment, 21st Division of the Vanguard."

"Quack..." Xu Cheng sat on the ground and raised her hand with difficulty. Driving the damaged Skywatcher all the way here has exhausted her mental and physical strength, and she feels like she is going to burn out...

Gabriella hurriedly sent Xu Cheng and her crew members to a safe place to rest, and at the same time ordered the guards to guard the shuttle, waiting for the handover when they were able to talk.

Lianhua took a sip of water. The people in Seva Castle entertained them with very simple food. Most of them were nutrient cream hoarded before the war. They were tasteless and only provided supplies and energy.

She and Pao Pao took Xu Cheng's cash card, returned from the two-story building next to the airport, and handed over the material list to Gabriela. She was surprised and delighted, and transferred 38,000 yuan of funds to them.

When she let people unload from the shuttle, the soldiers and the people around were both surprised and excited, and they were quite excited, and the voices of happy discussions immediately rang out from the crowd.

"Look! Food! It's edible! There are lots of boxes!"

"We finally have help! Great!"

"Fort Seva has not been forgotten..."

"Are those young children messengers? Unbelievable!" People's morale was boosted, and smiles appeared on their tired faces.

The tension in Gabriella's heart was finally loosened, which meant that they hadn't been forgotten, and the world wasn't completely isolated from each other. At least there were messengers delivering supplies to support various causes that were being rebuilt from the ashes.

"Quack. Xiuxiu." Xu Cheng walked to Gabriella and asked their mechanics to carefully inspect the damaged Skywatcher. It is now completely unable to take off again and head to Taixi Continent.

"Yes." Gabriella nodded, she also noticed that the condition of the shuttle is not good, "I will do my best to help you fix the shuttle! Until then, please live here freely !"

"Gah!" Xu Cheng put his feet together, raised his right hand to his forehead, and saluted Gabriela, and she also saluted Xu Cheng solemnly.

The small building next to the airport was a bar before the natural disaster, but now it has been transformed into a temporary guest house for Xu Cheng and the others to live temporarily.

Without thinking too much, after going through this long-distance trip, Xu Cheng only felt that his little head was about to burst, and he had to get a good night's sleep. She hugged the thin quilt and curled herself up inside. Bubble was facing her, exhausted and falling into a deep sleep.

The next day, when Xu Cheng got up, he saw a cup of hot milk on the bedside table, and felt that the milk could surprise her in different ways every day, which was very civilized.

She slowly climbed down from the bed, her mind was muddled, the monster, the giant white tower, her father, Nestor Corporation, the Skywatcher... Different images were intertwined and confused, and it was suddenly heavy for her.

In the Reservoir Dog Bar in Jialongpo back then, Grandma Bai Jiayi gave her a choice, either suppress the phantom, forget the memory, and cut off the nightmare, or face reality, strengthen her strength, and walk with the nightmare.

She chose the latter, Xu Cheng took a deep breath and focused on the breath itself, it can bring enlightenment.

Lianhua is reselling supplies, using the goods on the shuttle to trade the gold inventory of Fort Seva; Shahua is connecting with the mechanic to study where the shuttle is broken; Minggongqiao is self-checking, and Bubble is queuing up to receive supplies .

Only Xu Cheng was left alone. She scratched her head and decided to go outside for a walk. Getting in touch with the real world helps to relax her body and mind.

In the snow mountain, because he was busy with his practice, he had no time to take pictures of the security guard named Jimson. He wanted some videos to convey the scenery of the outside world to his son. Xu Cheng finished drinking the milk, took out the camera, and began to record what she saw and heard in Seva Castle.

"Quack." Xu Cheng walked around with a camera. The situation in Seva Fort is quite different from that in Jialongpo. There are no cameras or walls here, people can move freely, and there are no buildings for the few and the privileged. Cheng can go wherever he wants.

Even the major's bunker can be entered and exited. There are no supervisors or military police on the streets, only people coming and going, busy with work, and extraordinarily diligent.

Xu Cheng found that everyone lived an organized public life, and people joined various work units such as agriculture, production, education, and urban defense. With its back against the gray, foamy sea and its front facing the misty wilderness of the forbidden zone, Seva Fort is full of dangers. Brave soldiers stationed on the edge of the fort, using the walls and towers left over from ancient times to fend off monsters.

With melodious music coming from the open windows, they seem to maintain some kind of artistic atmosphere in the most difficult environment, as if to use human inspiration to resist the harsh reality of haggard. Today they had extra fun, drinking, handing out ribbons and decorating the streets with balloons. Xu Cheng asked a person what they were celebrating, and he said that everyone celebrated because you came.

This made Xu Cheng feel honored.

As she filmed along the way, tall, blocky concrete buildings rose from the ground, weather-beaten but still standing proudly. The survivors call this place home and do what they can to keep the place presentable and tidy.

Without coercive means, Xu Cheng felt that Major Gabriela was only here to maintain military defense. Others consciously implement the principles of socialization, self-government, and equality, maintaining the production of daily necessities and distributing food, clothing, housing, and public services fairly among nearly 100,000 people.

The food brought by Xu Cheng alleviated their hunger and plight, instead of filling the pockets of only a few people. She didn't see Jialongpo's advertisements, shops and entrepreneurs.

They're all full, and it seems like they all know what they're doing is extra meaningful. Doing things to make money and to climb the ladder is probably just an unreasonable law in the corporate world. In Sewabao, people only want to improve themselves and the whole society, and the desire for private property and jealousy seem to gradually disintegrate in the resonance of the whole society.

Xu Cheng imagined that they had spent the past six years like this, and couldn't help feeling shocked. They are more worthy of food and drink than many rich people in Jialongpo, but unfortunately not, many people can only starve and work quietly, and many people lose confidence in life because of this, Xu Cheng can tell from their expressions .

Even the children did not work. Xu Cheng knew that even in Nisto Company, the children had to work to make up for the labor gap. But in Seva Castle, the darkness and terror outside did not seem to interrupt the children's study. Xu Cheng came near the school building , the young kids were playing football, exchanging stories, and enjoying themselves, like they had no idea that half the world was already destroyed.

She walked in through the gate, and a class of seventeen or eighteen children, about her age, recited poetry in unison under the leadership of the teacher:

"I came into this world to see the sun.

I overcame the indifferent glacier and created my own ideal.

Even if the sky goes out, I will sing the praises of the sun until the last days of my life..."
