Chapter 556: Transit Area
By this time, it was already midnight in New Sydney, and if there was no new information, more than half of the refugees stranded in the transfer point would have to spend the night on the grass. At this time, on the tarmac, a stout young man with a scruffy beard and a large canvas bag had just followed the crowd out of a transport ship.
Like the other refugees who disembarked from the ship, he was registered as a civilian. But his military temperament is still easy to be discovered by those who have a heart. After stepping out of the cabin, unlike the other refugees who were busy looking for a place to rest, the man first took a closer look at the scenery around him.
At this time, the transfer point in front of him was like a large refugee camp, full of people, and everywhere as far as the eye could see, except for the runway and the apron needed to dock the spaceship, the rest of the place seemed to be made up of people.
However, if you look closely, you can see that the crowd is still organized by some guides. "Guides" is a collective term for refugees to all those who guide them along the way. Before coming here, they had gone through a primary security check in other areas.
As the inspection was completed, they were directed all the way to safer and safer areas. First, there were no more people with guns around them to maintain order. In its place were squads of aircraft patrolling around the city.
Most of the men in the vicinity of the resettlement area were police formalists, patrolling the crowd in small teams armed only with batons and megaphones. These machines are obviously pre-programmed.
In the crowd, these police planes used loudspeakers to broadcast the latest notices and reassure the crowd. While using the weapon in his hand to warn anyone who tries to disrupt the order. Although the refugee population is very large, they have all been disarmed, so order is still in order.
Looking at the unfamiliar environment here, this soldier-like man was just as confused and puzzled as other refugees. But unlike the others who had just stepped off the transport, he wasn't worried about his safety.
The man, Stuka, was not a commoner. Before being saved. He is a member of ODST, an elite unit of the Halo Plane UNSC. As an elite Hellcontroopers, he was already fighting the Covenant forces during the Battle of Abundance. Until the outbreak of the Battle of Zhiyuan, he was still fighting on the front line against the Star Alliance.
Like many during the war, he joined the army as an adult, and after a lot of hard training and years of brutal and high-intensity warfare, the 23-year-old looked much older than he really was. Combined with the full beard on his face at this time, he looks like he is in his 30s.
Compared to other refugees who took the initiative to join the expedition for rescue. Situ Ka's is a little passive. He was stumbled upon in a pile of dead men after he was seriously wounded in the Battle of Reach by a passing reconnaissance expedition.
When he was discovered, Stuart was dying and about to join his comrades. If it weren't for the fact that the guide of that expedition team was also a member of the Hell Paratroopers, and he begged that team to bring him back along the way, Situ Ka would probably have become the residue of the Covenant's artillery fire.
After being admitted to the expedition, he was first taken to the Pegasos's medical quarters, where doctors quickly reconstructed his main wound in a medical pod and gave him some blood. Subsequently, after he was out of danger. He, like countless others like him, was classified as a lightly wounded person and sent through the space-time gate, and arrived at the temporary hospital in the rear to continue recuperating from his injuries.
With his main wound healed and taken to a makeshift hospital, Stuart soon woke up from his coma, confused by his situation, like countless others in similar situations.
Fortunately, the hospital staff gave him a brief introduction to his situation. After learning that he was on another plane, he was not overly surprised or expressed the curiosity that most refugees have.
Opposite. He sighed, feeling relieved. As one has just lost all his subordinates on the Reach Star. An immortal veteran, Situ Ka didn't feel how lucky he was. On the contrary, he was deeply physically and mentally exhausted, and preferred to die with his comrades.
The long war has destroyed everything he cherished in his life, his family has long been destroyed by the war, and the remaining comrades-in-arms have all died in Zhiyuan. He really didn't feel like he had any reason to live.
After regaining his mobility, he did not follow the doctor's instructions. I left the open-air temporary hospital where I was located early. It was not his choice to get a new life, but since he didn't die, he still wanted to see this so-called new world.
If the years of war with the Covenant taught the young man anything, it was to value the present. All people in the war are in danger, and the lives of their comrades and themselves may disappear at any time. The feeling of being alive can only be gained by seizing the opportunity to enjoy the moment.
Due to the small number of doctors and nurses in the hospital. There were no guards to block the entry and exit of patients, so the newly awakened Situ Ka managed to blend in with the civilian crowd and lied in the later steps of identity registration, hiding his true occupation.
In his opinion, he is definitely not the only one who has done so. At least at the last transfer point, he recognized a few guys who were supposed to be soldiers like him registered as ordinary people, and it seemed that he was not the only one who wanted to get out of the war.
"Hey, you! Come here......" While Situ Ka was carefully observing the nearby scenery, a strange female voice voice came from a loudspeaker in the distance, facing him.
Situ Ka turned his head to see that it was a tall blonde waving to him. Looking at the other party's outfit, he recognized the other party as a "guide", that is, the person who arranged for them to eat, live and travel after passing through the space-time gate.
These people were a great help in relocating the people, and each of them had a badge with the Plane Council's logo on their clothes. If you look closely, the badges are different, but the people with white badges are public officials who are primarily responsible for registering everyone and providing basic medical care.
The wearer of the badge with a blue background appears to be a contractor who is primarily responsible for providing food and lodging. Black badges are rare, and they are all military and police figures. And the woman who had just waved at him was wearing a red badge, which meant volunteer.
"There are volunteers! Situ Ka was a little surprised in his heart when he saw it. He had seen on a large screen at one of the transit stations the different roles of the people with different badges and how the refugees could cooperate with their actions.
However, he really didn't expect to meet the volunteers, because the order at many transfer points is still quite chaotic. It's hard to imagine someone volunteering to go to such a chaotic place to help strangers they've never met.
Thinking so, seeing the other party's signal, he hurriedly walked over with his backpack on his back. The refugees were divided into large and small groups, and were "guided" like a tour group, and the guide was taken to the transfer position.
At least in these days, the guides are their food and clothing, and they can only live if they keep up in time. The unfortunate ones who had been separated from their guides were now stranded at other transit points, not the city where the settlement was located from a distance, as they did.
"Alright, everyone follow me, I know you're tired. The good news is that we're going to be able to put everyone in the city tonight......" Seeing Stuka, a middle-aged uncle-looking guy, running over to return to the group, the number 6 Theron who was in charge of guiding them said over a megaphone to the crowd.
Her name is Sarah, and like the rest of the Theron people, she gave herself a name to represent herself as an individual in order to facilitate communication with natural people after she moved to this world, rather than using only a code name for the outside world as in the previous Theron society.
Sara has been working here for a few days, wearing a sunhat on her head and big sunglasses on the bridge of her nose, and she really looks like a tour guide in a tourist area. The reason for this shade is that she has been harassed by a minority of refugees and some opposition groups in the past two days.
Like the unorganized political organization, the opposition to the Temporal Council, an organization composed mainly of speculators, is mixed with a lot of tease that wants to declare personal vendetta after the seizure of power, including many guys who specifically target the Theron people.
The opposition of the Space-Time Council has been stumbling very happily these days, as if they have decided that the Time-Space Council has no power to control them, and these guys are handing out leaflets, organizing speech conferences, and inciting panic in various refugee concentration areas, making the already difficult resettlement plan even more difficult.
As a volunteer, Sara is not the kind of person who is very patient and loving. In fact, until her Theron group was betrayed by 1 and taken in by the Plane Council, she was a pro-war faction advocating the elimination of the fleeing fleets of humanity once and for all.
Although her view of the human community has changed since she learned the truth about the evolution of the Therons, the recent aggressive actions of the parliamentary opposition have made her worry about the future.
The reason why she is here and helping the natural refugees in front of her as a volunteer is purely out of a sense of responsibility for her people. The Theron community is a minority in this new world, and only by establishing a good public image can they have a bright future to speak of.
After receiving the group of people she was responsible for, she first checked everyone's bracelets to make sure that she didn't bring the wrong person. When she checked Situ Ka, she found that the other party was actually very young, just a bearded and lifeless old man. (To be continued......)
