Chapter 161: The Road to Escape

The operation in Minsk was completed the day after Zhou Qingfeng's return, and the medicines and surgical equipment in 2030 are much more advanced than in 2016, and according to Dr. Belford, it will take about 10 days for Minsk to regain its ability to take care of itself, and a month later it will be normal to move as usual.

However, the living environment of Manhattan is getting worse and worse, according to Zhou Qingfeng: life will only get worse and worse.

After more than half a month of destructive looting, all the materials that were easy to loot have been looted. But before the smooth passage to the outside world can be opened, the millions of people left in New York will slowly starve to death.

The vast majority of people understood that staying in New York would only be waiting for death, so large numbers of people continued to flee frantically, trying to find food and work in other agriculturally developed areas.

However, without any preparation and organization, these people who fled New York often fell into a desperate situation halfway through, starving and dying of thirst. This is the situation that Zhou Qingfeng had foreseen when he first arrived in New York, and if he embarked on the road of escape without any preparation, he would only become a corpse on the side of the road.

Originally there was David. Lawrence came out of nowhere and brought a lot of food to the people in the city. But now Mr. Savior himself is anxious, and he runs around every day in order to find his wife, where does he have time to care about others?

"We must save them, save these poor people."

"But our strength is limited now, and our current food reserves can't even satisfy ourselves."

"Are we just going to watch these people die?"

"That's right, we can only watch them die."

More than half of the administrators in the Martial Arts Women's Association are from the church. Fox used these people to build the institution, but there was no doubt that her power was diluted. Our Lady of the Church has been making trouble these days and asking Lina . Fox took out a reserve of food to help the refugees, but Lena. Fox resolutely resisted this seemingly benevolent, but in fact brainless decision.

As a result, more than half of the idiots in the church were gone, which was a heavy blow to the Martial Arts Women's Association. Not only is there a significant loss of management personnel, but it was originally owned by Lina. Fox also gathered more than half of the people.

The United States is a religious society, and there are many religious believers. In times of desperation, the power of religion to deceive is multiplied. Many people believed that the church could take care of itself, and they broke away from the Martial Arts Women's Association.

"The massive loss of personnel has halved our revenue. And without managers, I almost couldn't control the other half of the people. "After the cataclysm, Lena. Fox has been hit repeatedly, and Miss Fox has also had times when her donkey skills are poor.

"It's time for us to think about leaving New York." Zhou Qingfeng sat in Lena's office, watching the always elegant eldest lady leaning weakly on the chair, "Just our existing personnel are enough to open a new home." ”

"Do you think the rest of these people are willing to go with us?" Lena shook her head, and she moved on to another topic, "Do you know how skeletons are built?" ”

Zhou Qingfeng also shook his head.

"The Clinder Prison in upstate New York has always been used for felons, and it has historically been overcrowded, with thousands of murderers, drug dealers, rapists, and other villains. In the aftermath of the cataclysm, commonality unites them, and this cohesion allows them to expand their power extremely rapidly.

And what about us? At first it was just you, then I was added, then there was the butcher, and finally there was Minsk, Katerina, David. Lawrence. But that's all there is to our core members, and there are no more. Everyone else clings to us because they have nowhere else to go.

That's our biggest problem, our core is too weak for us to survive on our own. If we're going to make important moves, the dissenting opinions underneath are going to drive people crazy. ”

Lena. Fox's troubles reminded Zhou Qingfeng of the unlucky people in Chinatown, who were also thousands of people trapped together, but they couldn't act in unison. They had been arguing for a week before, and now another week has passed, and they still haven't moved at all, waiting to die.

"So we should have fled New York, it's not a place to live." Zhou Qingfeng looked at a map on the wall of Lina's office, "There are a lot of nuclear power plants on the west coast of the United States, and these nuclear power plants are no longer cared for, and in a year they may melt the cores and become one Chernobyl after another." ”

So there's no way to stay on the West Coast.

"It's a similar situation on the East Coast, where there are a lot of nuclear power plants, and there's a lot of big cities there. To make matters worse, according to the Soviets' plan for nuclear warfare, nuclear weapons would destroy all cities and towns in the United States with a population of 50,000 or more. ”

So there is no way to go to the east coast, so everyone can only choose a remote place to run.

"And in the absence of fuel, winters in the north can become extremely difficult. Although it is August, we can only run south. But if you go directly south into Mexico, the infrastructure there is very poor, and everyone's life will not be easy. ”

So Zhou Qingfeng finally used a red pen to draw a circle in the middle of the southern part of the map of the United States, "We have to rebuild our homes here." ”

"It's too far." Lena. Fox said.

It's really too far, more than 2,000 kilometers away. If the road is smooth, it will take a day or two to drive, but now the road is not smooth, and it is estimated that it will take a month or two. As for taking airplanes, now the airfield has long been suspended, large planes cannot fly into the sky, and small planes cannot carry much things.

"We need to have a boat. There must also be all kinds of materials to rebuild the home, and the people who will rebuild the home. When it comes to people, Zhou Qingfeng also feels that there are too few people around him. And as for the problem of the ship, it is also a big trouble, there are too many things needed for sailors, captains, fuel.

But if you don't prepare these things, the corpses scattered on the escape road in New York are a living lesson. Hitting the road without preparing anything, isn't this looking for death? Do you really think that an angel will come and save you? Go to hell!

Lena sighed, "Fortunately, we still have more than two months to prepare. ”

"No, we only have a month at most. You can't count the time spent on the run. We're going south from New York along the West Coast, and that's at least a month. Who knows what the hell is going to happen? ”

In this way, time is running out.

"Food is good, but we need people." Zhou Qingfeng thought for a while, and suddenly said: "I remember that there was an organization for the slave trade in the last issue of the Last Days, find it out and let me see it." It really doesn't work, we just keep slaves. ”

None of the problems that can be solved by violence seem to be problems. (To be continued.) )
