Chapter 557: A Little Accident Entering the City
In the past few days, Sara has also met many such people, and knows that these people have not yet come out of the shadow of war. However, because she has been harassed by the people's opposition, she is not in a good mood, at least she will not try to enlighten the other party like some other caring guides.
In her opinion, she only came to help these people out of duty to her own people, and it was not within her scope of work to see whether the mental health of the group of people in front of her was not within her scope of work. She just wanted to take people to the next waypoint to hand them over to someone else, as she had done the previous times, and then she could go to rest.
With this simple idea in mind, Sara led the crowd to a bus stop-like area of the transfer station, where hundreds of buses of all sizes and sizes were parked in the open space that looked like a big car show.
Sara led the crowd straight through the long waiting area and the crowd led by other guides, and finally she took her crowd on a dozen new-looking buses and prepared to start her journey into town. Stuka was going to get into one of the cars casually, but Sara stopped him before he could get into the car.
"Wait, is it true that your profile says you have experience in operating large vehicles?" Sara asked as she took off her large sunglasses, revealing her bright eyes and delicate face.
Situ Ka didn't find out that the other party was a big beauty until this time, and when he registered his identity before, although he didn't truthfully report his occupation, he confessed to most of his skills that could be applied to the civilian field.
As an ODST veteran, he has piloted almost all types of combat vehicles. He is proficient in flying a wide range of military vehicles and almost all UNSC-equipped flying vehicles. When it comes to driving skills, he doesn't have any problems.
When declaring his personal skills, Situ Ka declared that he had the ability to fly a variety of vehicles and civilian aircraft, and these materials had been backed up in the identification bracelet issued to him and on the Internet, so that he could use his skills to settle down in a peaceful world as soon as possible. Not to be a burden to anyone.
"Yes, I can, you want me to drive this bus?" Situ Ka pointed to a bus next to him and replied in the affirmative.
"No, I just need you as an "emergency insurance". Sara said as she led him to a bus and showed him their transport. It's a bus that looks ordinary inside and out. Aside from the fact that it was very new, Stuart couldn't see anything special about the car.
Like a regular bus, this car has a driver's seat and numerous seats in the back. It is also equipped with communication equipment for any public transport and a large screen TV behind the driver's seat.
"Sit there, here's the radio, here's the emergency brake, here's the interactive button......" Sara took Stuto into the car, and after about 10 seconds explained the function of a few things on the dashboard, she beckoned the others to get in and was ready to arrange for the driver of the next car.
"Wait. Where are the keys? Situ Ka saw that the other party was about to leave without leaving the key, and hurriedly asked, he obviously saw the keyhole near the dashboard.
"This car doesn't have a key," Sara said without looking back. The keyhole that Stuka saw was not actually the keyhole used to start the engine in a conventional vehicle, but a keyhole for opening the instrument panel that was only needed for maintenance.
"So how do I drive it?" Stuart was even more confused, he tried to press the accelerator and tried the transmission twice, but the car did not respond at all, without any warning of starting.
"You don't have to, it's a smart car. It will turn on itself and follow the car in front. All you have to do is sit here and use the interactive features to take over the driving in the event of an emergency......" Sara said as she completely shook off the "you tease me" Stuka. Went to arrange other vehicles in the back.
Intelligent vehicles are not something incredible, and the technical conditions for implementation are really not high. But Situ Ka, as an ordinary person in the aura plane, really has never driven such an intelligent vehicle.
It's not that UNSC can't even get this level of civilian technology, but because the UNSC's government organization has a long ago law that prohibits smart vehicles from being put into use. The reason is that investing in smart vehicles will cause a large number of people to lose their jobs.
The Temporal Council doesn't have this concern, their only concern is the lack of labor. The bus in which Stuka is now sitting is the latest emergency supplies requested by the Plane Reconstruction Committee. The place of origin is the Elysium plane.
Over the past six months or so, a large number of civilian public vehicles have been produced there. It is used to meet the civilian needs of the surface. Originally, these intelligent vehicles were supposed to serve the civil transportation system there on the Elysium plane. If it weren't for the shortage of capacity here, it wouldn't have been transferred.
Until then, due to the lack of actual civilian demand, most organizations, including the Plane Reconstruction Committee, have been using refurbished vehicles. Anyway, I am a legendary plane, and there are countless abandoned vehicles, and the cost of refurbishment is very low. It also meets the needs of most people when it is used.
After receiving the car and taking some time to arrange for the large group of people she had brought with her, Sara took off her hat and got into the front bus, checking on the radio that there was no car behind.
After confirming that everything was correct, she remotely started all the smart buses in the entire fleet and drove out of the transfer point according to the predetermined route. Their destination is the city of New Sydney, currently the largest settlement.
The city of New Sydney is one of the best of all the planned settlements, with barely enough transport capacity and plenty of renovated living space in the city. Even without taking into account the temporary settlements that are being expanded, the previously demarcated intra-city resettlement area has a maximum capacity of 15 million people.
Now, after extensive reorganization and reorganization of new immigrants, the capacity of the city has expanded to more than 20 million people. Including temporary settlements outside the city, it is expected to eventually accommodate 30 million people. And their convoy is like ants moving, little by little the refugees into the city in an orderly manner.
The blind movement of crowds is the primary problem at the moment, and as soon as their convoys left, some unorganized refugees were seen wandering in the direction of the city. These people couldn't wait for their guide to arrive and wanted to leave the transit area and live in the city as much as possible.
From a personal point of view, their approach is worth understanding. After all, few people like to live in tents, but the actions of these refugees have undoubtedly added to the chaos on the ground, making the work of volunteers like Sara harder.
Sara sighed at the sight of the crowd loitering outside the car, as did the other guides in the convoy passing by, but she didn't stop to persuade them, because it was completely worthless. If you have that time, it is better to settle the group of people you received first.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, their convoy drove out of the transfer point in a row with its headlights on, and the vehicles in the convoy were driving autonomously throughout the process, except for voice prompts such as turning on the lights and adjusting the temperature of the air conditioner.
Sitting in the driver's seat of such a convoy, Stuka, like any other passenger, quickly adapted to this fully automatic and effortless way of driving. After driving onto the main road, there was a noticeable increase in traffic.
On the way, in addition to meeting many convoys like them that are responsible for transporting people into the city, there are also many freight vehicles driving at high speed on the dedicated road. Looking at the busy and orderly scene in front of them, all passengers feel like they have returned to the normal pre-war order. The battles they had encountered on Zhiyuan seemed to be a dream.
The peace didn't last long, though, as they were about to enter the city, when a dense sound of engines came from behind. All the vehicles in his convoy leaned over to the side of the road as if they had been ordered to do so.
From the rearview mirror, Stuka saw a convoy of armored vehicles coming up, and it looked like there were more than a dozen of them. There were also a few strange looking gunships flying in the sky, carrying large boxes.
There is no doubt that this is the so-called parliamentary army in action. Although I don't know what the other party is going to do in the city, and I don't know what those helicopters are lifting, it won't be a good omen to think about with my ass.
Either there was something seriously wrong with the resettlement operation in the city ahead, or there was also a war here, otherwise Situ Ka could not think of why the army would enter the city on a large scale. Just as he was wondering whether to build a guide for the convoy to change the route, the radio on the dashboard of his bus rang out, and it was from the guide of their convoy.
"Don't be nervous, I just received news that these guys are going into the city to maintain order, and we will continue to walk after they pass by." Sara reassured the people in her convoy, but Stuka didn't quite trust her judgment.
As Sara said, after the troops passed, traffic quickly returned to normal. After about half an hour of driving and local traffic jams, they reached the interior of the city. The new resettlement area is on the edge of the city.
Most of the area is still a barren scene, and even the street lights have not been restored. It's very different from the already overcrowded urban core. After arriving at their destination through a predetermined waypoint, they encountered unexpected changes. It's already occupied!
A small pickup truck from nowhere stopped at the intersection of the neighborhood, apparently blocking their convoy from entering. Seeing this scene, Sara immediately got out of the car, ready to go to the people inside to theorize, but as soon as she got out of the car, she regretted it before she took a few steps. Because a couple of guys with baseball bats, crowbars, pistols, and hoods jumped out of the surrounding hideaways and surrounded her! (To be continued......)
