Seeing and hearing so much information in a day that gave me the chills, I was almost certain that Lavona was going to experience chaos on an unprecedented scale. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info But I wanted to gather some more information, so I asked Billy to call Big Bird.

I haven't been in touch with Big Bird since I was targeted by Mediterranean, and I've only been passing on messages through Billy. This time, the call was quickly hung up by Big Bird. After a while, he called back again, and after answering, Billy switched the phone status to Outside, so that we could all hear the conversation. Billy asked, "Big Bird, have you been busy these two days?" How's it going? ”

Big Bird scolded: "Stud! I've been busy for the past two days. If you don't call me, I'm trying to call you. Prepare early, maybe it's going to be messy again. ”

Billy asked, "What's going on?" ”

Big Bird said, "It's getting more and more troublesome. More and more people are gathering towards Lavona, and the open spaces of the university and the park are already filled with tents. Originally, it was mainly a protest against the government's economic policies, but as you know, this state is the most vocal state to secede from the United States, and now those calling for secession are also taking the opportunity to demand a referendum. There are also a large number of Mexican immigrants who have asked the state to secede from the United States and become part of Mexico, and all kinds of people with different demands are trying to take advantage of this opportunity to show that there will be no large-scale conflict. ”

After a pause, he added, "This time is not the same as the last one." The last time there was a crackdown by the National Guard, and now due to financial constraints, the National Guard has collapsed due to long-term arrears of wages, and I don't know what to do in the event of a crisis. The police know this, and many have already made up their minds to go back to protect their families as soon as the situation is not good. I'll tell you another piece of news, I just learned that many wealthy people have begun to hire armed security guards in large numbers, ready to protect their property when the police are not enough. I'm scared right now. ”

I bit Billy's ear and said a few words, and Billy said, "Big Bird, if there is really a dangerous situation, come and take refuge in us." We have a lot of people here, and we can protect each other. ”

Big Bird was silent for a second and then said, "Okay, I see, good brother." ”

After hanging up the phone, none of us spoke, and it took a long time for Billy to scold: "Shit! What's going on? ”

I said, "Well, it's good that we're not in the city center this time, and we have a territory that is all our own, so as long as we work together like we did last time to defend your studio, there won't be any danger." Now let's go and consult with Garand about what we should do to prepare for the event of a riot. Garland is a planner for the army and is certainly experienced in this area. ”

When we got back to Base 1, the boar was already with Garand. The two of them also thought it was necessary to prepare for a riot, and Garland said he could help me plan a plan to stock up on emergency supplies, but he asked me, "Lee, how many people do you think is appropriate?" As far as I know, you don't have a lot of money in your pocket. ”

I was really hesitant when he said that. It's true that the business in my hands seems to be lucrative, but after all, the time is short, and the profits are basically used to buy equipment and expand production, and the money I can call on is really not much. We also earned a lot of money as mercenaries for the "Mediterranean", but that money belonged to each of us. Those who have been forced to come to me by the "Mediterranean" are only sheltering here temporarily, and if I were to take their money, I am afraid that there will be infighting immediately, and I will need their help to keep it safe in the event of a riot. The only funds available now are me and Big Eye, who made this place our territory.

So I said to Garland, "I probably have more than a million dollars, and Big Eye probably has that amount." You calculate how much you can buy. ”

"A few million dollars is a huge asset for one person, but it's not a lot of money to buy the supplies that so many people need," Garland said. Moreover, the sharp depreciation before Christmas has reduced the purchasing power of the dollar. Nowadays, many merchants are hoarding, and it is difficult to buy large quantities of materials even if they have money. ”

It's a real problem, but I really can't think of a solution, so I can only scratch my scalp with all my might. Seeing me like this, the big eyes said heartlessly, "What are you worried about? In fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, we just need to pay attention to the development of the situation when the time comes. If there is a large-scale riot, can't we go and rob the supermarket when the police are not working? We have people with guns and can always grab what we need. ”

I instinctively wanted to retort, but before I could open my mouth Billy had already retorted: "So what's the difference between us and those mobs?" ”

Garland said, "I think Robert has a point. When order does not exist, if you continue to live according to the order of the past, you can only be reduced to a lamb to the slaughter. ”

I was amazed that Garand, as a mid-ranking officer, would say such a thing, and asked him, "Is that okay?" ”

"Believe me, this is my judgment based on the situation in several countries," Garland said. You know I'm familiar with Iraq, Syria, Ukraine, and I know very well what it looks like when those countries are in chaos. ”

Big Eyes immediately said: "If you don't grab it when it's a mess, others will rob it." How many people do you think are as pedantic as you. ”

Well, I consoled myself: since Garand, who has several medals, doesn't mind doing this, I don't pretend to be pure, and it's more important to protect the people around me. I organized the language and said, "Well, we keep a close eye on the situation, and if there is a real mass riot and we judge that the stockpiled supplies will not support the riot until the riot is over, we will act." Before we can do that, we need to figure out where we need more. Although the supermarket has a complete range of supplies, it may be sold out at the beginning of the chaos, so ......"

"It's a great idea," Garland said. We can send someone to scout and scout the surrounding terrain. Also, although we are far from the city center, it is not easy to be affected by riots, but we also need to be prepared. For example, you can ask Marlon to make some roadblocks. He pointed to a printed satellite map on the table and dotted out a little bit on the street corner near us.

I agree with this, be prepared! Big Eyes also proposed to let Malone modify a few bulletproof pickup trucks for riding out during the riots, which can be had. Garland said to let the wild boars patrol in groups with weapons when they return, which can also be available.

After these things were settled, Big Eyes and I began to call, telling these people, including Sister Black Tea and Little Pig, to run to me as soon as they found out that the situation was wrong, and that when they encountered the last riot, they said that everything else was fake, and they would save their lives first.

Big Four-Eyes was obviously already apprehensive about the riots, and without saying a word, he asked the family to move to our base, occupied a house in the town, and asked Gavin, who had just returned, to pull the network cable for him immediately, but this network cable basically did not work as we expected. Since January 5 and Facebook's servers have been abruptly shut down, we can only get information through a handful of news sites, all of which are headlines of gossip and a few vague news stories about ongoing rallies in major cities. It's the same with television, where news programs roll through wars in Ukraine and the Middle East and gossip about celebrities, and sweep past domestic gatherings.

Judging from past experience, something must have happened, and some people are thinking of blocking the news. This time there was no Internet, so we who were used to being well-informed were really helpless, but what we didn't expect was that at this time, Garland took out a radio with a smile: "Gentlemen, use this thing." ”

He turned on the radio, and immediately a female voice was announcing that the peaceful rally between Yokniu and Peanut Stew had turned into a large-scale conflict. I hurriedly asked, "Which station is this?" ”

Garland laughed: "This is Russia Today Radio. I've been listening to it a lot, and I've been reporting faster than the BBC and CNN. Perhaps we will need to rely on it in the future to understand the developments. Well, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that we can be sure that there is already a conflict in the east, and Lavona is not immune. Then we ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Billy's phone rang, and he glanced at it and whispered, "It's Big Bird calling." Then he went out of the house to answer the phone, and after a while he came back and said, "Big Bird called and told his wife and child to drive over and hide first." There are already serious clashes in the city center and in the university district, the situation is chaotic and in danger of getting out of control. ”
