Chapter 201: The Lobbyist
"Oh, originally our three districts were a paradise at the beginning of the establishment of the district, at that time, behind the three districts was the snow mountains that do not melt all the year round, we lived in the plains under the corners of the mountains, at that time the three districts had the purest air and water in the world, and we had a lot of food, we could go out to sea to fish, we could also grow our own food, raise livestock.
And don't look at it so cold now, in the past our hot springs here were very famous.
But as time went on, the harmful substances left in the air after the war gradually drifted to our side, making our environment worse and worse. And just a year ago, there was a sudden extreme weather here. Our three districts have also suffered serious losses as a result, and many people have not survived......"
"Didn't you ask the Hunters' Guild or the Central Circle for help?"
"Hmph, how can they control us, let's not say that our roads here are not easy to walk, only our cold weather, no one wants to come."
"I'm sorry for you. And now? Do you still have enough food to eat? ”
"A lot of the livestock we had before the change is no longer available, and now we have to live on fishing and some of the meat that used to be frozen. In the underground greenhouse built by geothermal heat in the main area, some potatoes and radishes are barely grown.
There's the entrance ahead, I'll go and tell you, and you'll wait for me here. If you're lucky, I'll take you in. Orleng and Kate waited for her.
Ling and Kate saw that Orr was talking to the patrolmen, but because of the distance, they couldn't hear what was being said. I saw that one of the people on patrol went back, as if he had applied to go.
Orr gestured for the two of them to wait.
"This is the entrance to the Third Zone? Do you have any impressions? Kate asked, looking around at her surroundings.
"I don't remember it anymore, I didn't come here much even during the Zero period in the third district, and the terrain and landform here have changed a lot because of the wind and snow."
At the entrance to the third area, there is an ice wall almost ten meters high made of huge ice blocks, which stretches and cannot be seen, there is only one entrance and exit, and there are still people guarding it.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, I saw that the person who had gone back before had returned, and said something to Orr, and then I saw Orr waving to this side.
The two of them looked at each other and walked over to that side.
"These two are the two who got lost?" The guard asked when he saw Ling and Kate coming.
"Yes. You two come over and check it out, and then I'll take you to our boss. Orr greeted Ling and Kate.
"Oh."
After inspection, the two followed Orr for another half hour or so before arriving at the residential area. Along the way, I saw people patrolling in twos and threes, and some snow huts, and then there was a thick layer of snow.
After entering the living area, it is obvious that it is much warmer.
"It seems to be warmer here than the rest of the place, is that my delusion?" Kate asked Orr.
"Oh no, there's a natural 'geothermal spring' deep underground, and the heat from it will make you feel warm." Orr explained.
"The house in front is where our district mayor works, you wait for me here first, and I'll report it first."
"Please."
Ling and Kate wait for Orr to come out.
This time, I didn't have to wait long to see Orr come out of it.
"You two come in with me."
Ling and Kate followed Orr into the house.
As soon as I entered the house, I felt a lot warmer, the room was not big, not high, Kate could go to the roof as soon as she raised her hand, and when she looked outside, the outside of the house was covered with thick ice, which should be used to keep the house warm. The walls of the house were covered with the skins of various animals, and a fire was lit in the middle of the ground.
"District Chief, I brought them here." Orr said to the middle-aged man sitting behind the table.
"I heard that you two brothers got lost in my third district?" The man asked.
"Yes, we were going to go to the fourth lap with the big army, but we didn't expect to encounter a snowstorm on the way, so we got separated from the team, we walked in the snow for almost three days before we saw this Orr brother, and then I thought you could agree to let us have a good night's rest, these days, we only temporarily rest in the snow cave, and now our bodies can't hold on." Ling said pleadingly.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Xiaoqi, and this is my brother Xiaolu. Are you the mayor of District 3? Can you take us in for a day? ”
The middle-aged man squinted at Ling and Kate, who had already taken off their hats.
In between coming, Ling and Kate both made simple disguises. Now the two of them look like travelers lost in the snowy desert.
"Well, I see that you guys are quite pitiful, so I'll make an exception to take you in for a day." The middle-aged man said.
"That's so much appreciated. Please accept this as a thank you gift for taking in my brothers. Ling handed Orr a pack of plastic-sealed ham from her backpack to the man.
"Then you're welcome. Why don't you two have a light meal today, and you can tell me how the outside world is now? The man asked.
"It's an honor." Ling was also trying to find an excuse to talk to the district chief, because in his impression, the district chief didn't seem to be the one he knew, this should be new, so did the original one pass away.
"Then I'll ask you to take two of you to rest first, and I'll entertain two more later." The man called his men and took them to rest.
"Alright, you can go down too." Then the man told Orr to go out as well.
When there was only one person left in the room, a person came out from behind the fur curtain behind the middle-aged man.
"I said Denis, do you know who those two people are who they are?" The man said.
"What, Will, do you know those two guys?"
The Will in the middle-aged population is the Will that Ling and Zhuge Xun had come into contact with at that time in the Fifth District. This time, Will was also ordered to come to the third district to contact, but he didn't expect to meet Zero.
"That short man who calls himself Xiaoqi, do you know who he is? He's Zero, the strongest hunter of the original Hunters Association, and later left the headquarters of the Association for some reason, and the person next to him shouldn't be his brother, if I'm not mistaken, it's the monster vampire who usually follows him. Will said.
"You say he's Zero, so why did he come to me? Did he know what we were planning? Denis, the third district chief, began to panic when he heard Will say this.
"Aren't you going to invite them to dinner? You can take the opportunity to ask him what he is here for, but they don't look like they're coming at us. ”
"Well, but is that plan really working? To attack the central circle and other protective circles? Wouldn't it be an egg hitting a stone? Denis voiced his concerns.
"How long can your three districts exist? The snow-capped mountain behind you has entered the countdown to death, and it's all death anyway, so you don't want to struggle for the last time? And our side has been very well prepared, not only our fifth district, but also the fifth and seventh protection circles are also our base camps, and even the hunter association headquarters also has our people, and we also have many robot troops and alien teams distributed on the border, just when the time comes, we will attack the protection circle and the association headquarters in a big way.
If it weren't for the unique geographical location of your three districts, even if you wanted to join us, we wouldn't have taken you in.
You can see a bright future, and wait for death on the spot, you are a smart person, you won't know how to choose. ”
