Chapter 139: Migration 5
"Ahh Everyone was shocked.
"I'm scared, in fact, when Huan Gao first conceived and demonstrated, he took into account everything he could think of, and it was the blueprint and plan that all the scientists on the earth came up with after several years of investigation. The probability that the ring height will exceed the initial range is only 1 in 10,000. So put your heart in your stomach and don't think about what you have or don't. Zhong, have you found any medicine? β
"Lei, in the past, you didn't say anything, everything was a cosmic-level secret, but now you are willing to say it without being shocking. Alas, what do you want to do so much, we have gained a lot this time, and the medicines are well preserved. Jie, now we can treat them. β
"Okay, I'll see what kind of medicine they have."
The medicine is complete and effective, at least after the injection, everyone is completely sober. In addition to the physical weakness, the mental state has recovered. Jie also secreted milk again, and the two babies were not crying and slept most of the time. The three cars walked slowly on the ring height, and the sight was empty, and the image of the car passing through seemed to be experienced hundreds of years ago. What remains in the memory are the bits and pieces behind the big cracks, the ring height is like the lifeline of the guards on the earth, and now you can't see the life and see the loneliness.
"Zhong, I've seen enough, we now have a means of transportation, and everyone will go down and walk around the supply station when passing by."
"yes, I've almost forgotten what life is like on Earth. It is so comfortable and friendly to live in a building alone, and a small group of people is half a city so far away. β
"That's right, we are not a family now, we have partners and comrades-in-arms, and we are fully capable of walking through no man's land and returning to the life of human beings."
Finally someone thought of going back completely. It turns out that because there are so few people on the planet, the distribution of population housing is not arbitrary. Although national boundaries have been broken more than 100 years ago, and people can choose where to live at any time, a no-man's land has been divided between the ring height and the environment in which humans live. In this area, there are no facilities for any kind of life assistance, and it is a place where earth technology has been abandoned. There is no exact data on how big this area is. Hundreds of years ago, there was not much difference between no man's land and human life, but now hundreds of years have passed, and no man's land is a convergence of unknown dangers. No uninhabited area without ring height is synonymous with death, because the communication channel with the human living area will be completely closed.
This is also the reason why people chose other routes to go back after the Huangao Crack disaster, and the survivors never dared to take the initiative to return to the human living area when the Huangao was not restored to traffic. For modern human beings, no man's land is an insurmountable place to gamble with life. From a macroscopic point of view, although the earth is still so big, human beings only need such a large place to survive by drawing the earth as a prison. All the elves have been put in the place where human beings live, governance, construction, planning and development. The rest of the world has been left unchecked for hundreds of years, and after the catastrophe of the entire earth, humanity no longer has the energy or ability to deal with the ruins that exceed the number of people.
When designing and building the ring height, technology also incorporated human design. The places left for human beings to live in are the best environment, the most suitable climate, and the whole earth is a big family, race, color, language... All of them are planned in a unified way, with the small and pitiful earth's resources to be distributed fairly, to feed the survivors on the earth. In this way, life on earth can be continued in the encroachment of various natural and man-made disasters. Although Zhong and the dozen or so survivors often vomit on the earth, they often lament the various incomprehensible actions of human beings. But the earth is still the cradle of the mother, and it is a kind and warm home for everyone.
Hundreds of years have passed, but the number of human beings who have reproduced for generations has not increased much, and the no-man's land has become a symbol of death. After hundreds of years of desolation and regression, what will be possible and what will be unknown is unknown, without the help of the survival channel, whether you can still walk safely is an unsolvable problem in front of everyone.
Zhong, Rose, Thunder, the education we received from childhood is the scope of that point, which belongs to the scope of human activities. It is said that for hundreds of years, traveling to the high school has been the most fashionable thing and the highest yearning of people. I didn't understand it before, isn't it just the same scenery, isn't it just walking on the miracle road of science and technology, appreciating different air, wind and rain, blue sky and white clouds. Longing for a different life experience at the supply point, or being lucky enough to make a different human friend. Now I finally understand that ring high is the safest, most stable and most relaxing place. One can think about nothing, everything is the ultimate pleasure. β
"And the experience of passing through no man's land is also the most exciting, what a vast ruined land, what a historical portrayal; What kind of shocking smashes the mood of human beings to enjoy life and comfort, and what kind of joy and sigh when they come to the ring height, the greatness of human science and technology. β
"Yes, sit in a closed and safe transport vehicle and look at the ruins, reflect on the history of mankind, look forward to the future of science and technology, and enjoy the present of science and technology. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow are the different feelings that come to people's lives. β
"I think from now on we can loot all the supply points, accumulate enough food, medicine and water, and then return to human life through no man's land."
"I agree with this idea, but also to prepare weapons for self-defense, it has been more than two years since Gao was injured this time, and the no-man's land has completely become a zone that cannot be restrained by technology. Any dangerous situation can happen. β
"Ignorance, that is, the ring height is not injured, and the no-man's land is also a zone abandoned by science and technology, and human beings have never cared about governance, and some are the deterrence of the ring height."
"Practice has proved that the deterrence of the ring height is completely effective, the ring executives are in this no-man's land, even if what is reproduced in the no-man's land, it is also within the control of the ring height. Hundreds of years have passed, and human beings are living in peace, aren't they? β
"Yes, there are nine times out of ten supply points, and it is not enough to sustain our current life, let alone pass through no man's land."
"Then we have to give it a try, even if the big crack in the ring height is repaired well, when it will be opened to traffic is not something we can be sure of, auxiliary roads, supply points, protective belts, etc., all need to be re-examined and demonstrated, re-supplemented and completed... These tasks are tedious and cannot be solved in a single sentence. Instead of passively sustaining life on the ring height, it is better to break into no man's land, and the worst outcome is to return to the ring height and wait. Rose, who had not spoken, looked at everyone and said.
"Yes, I originally wanted to be happy on the ring height, but now I also want to return to human life and feel the happiness of the rest of my life." Ray followed suit.
"Then it was decided, everything was done in preparation for the passage through no man's land. Target: Next Supply Station, Go! Zhong also made a final decision excitedly.
The three cars started again, and the people in the cars were excited and full of anticipation. The speed of the emigration car was slow, and it kept following the antique car, and Zhong, Den, and Iron Leg drove an antique car in front, and in the evening came to a signpost for a supply point. The road sign showed that this was a small supply point, and although everyone guessed that there might be nothing left after the robbery of the Great Crack disaster, they still hoped that the three of them could bring back something.
In almost an hour, the three of them returned empty-handed. There was nothing left in this supply point, and the most I saw was the miserable scene after the looting and the wreckage of the car that had not had time to change lanes and leave.
"There are about seven or eight types of cars here that have not been rerouted, and the people in the cars must have died." Dian said with a heavy heart.
"Not necessarily, maybe I left in someone else's car. See the body? β
"There are corpses, but I don't know if it's the owner of the car."
"What do you mean?"
"The bodies were all wounded, and there were signs of a fight in the supply depot."
Everyone is silent, in the face of life and safety, reason is the most uncontrollable. Looting a supply point is probably the most civilized thing to do, and if something happens, it's a normal thing.
"It's just that this supply point is too small, and I don't know which aspect it focuses on, presumably there should be less food, otherwise there would be no fight."
"Naivety, in the face of life and death, the bad behavior of human beings will be revealed, and if it can be evenly distributed, there will be no robbery and fighting."
"Even more naΓ―ve, the earth's resources are not evenly distributed, let alone finite. Otherwise, there should be no war on the earth, and there should be no indiscriminate killing and eating. β
"Yes, it's a matter of life and death, and selflessness becomes a ridiculous thing."
"Villain, it's really a moment of life and death for our collective, if you still have this idea, none of us will let you go."
This was originally a joke, but everyone was silent, although life and death are not a matter of a meal or a sip of water, but they are also the fuse that ignites public and private, good and evil. If it is really when the time comes to life, can the collective of these 21 people still be as united, harmonious and loving as when they were trying to survive on the ring heights?
In the following days, everyone went to several supply stations (points) of different sizes, not to mention robbery, but also to pick up leaks. Seeing that the food on the car is decreasing day by day, if there is no supply, let alone passing through no man's land, it is a problem for everyone's survival.
"Zhong, according to the distance, there should be a large supply station ahead, and it should be one of the ultimate stations to pass through no man's land."
"Rose, as far as you know, are there many such ultimate stations?"
"Not much, there are only ten places that can be bordered by the ring height, of course, many of them were designed and built first, but only these ten places are really used for start-up. At first, it was built according to the number of people in the area, but in the continuous planning of the area where human beings lived, the population only decreased but did not increase, and many of the final stations were either left unattended or shut down. β
"Rose, just don't shut down, now the ring height has not been repaired properly, the facilities belonging to the ring height have not been repaired, and those often used ultimate stations are also like nothing."
"Lei Lao is right, the ring height has stopped running, and there is no need for the ultimate station to be reused."
