Chapter 101: The Fuse
Push forward a few days.
On the other side of the ocean, in addition to the residents of the Star Alliance, there are also a group of Tianxia people who take a cruise ship to the Star Alliance during the holidays and struggle to survive.
After all kinds of accidents, such as the transformation of people into living corpses inside, and the wild shooting of white survivors, only about 200 of the more than 2,000 people survived. But in any case, they at least managed to keep the cruise ship alive in the harbor waters, where they could avoid the coveting of living corpses and white survivors.
After keeping the cruise ship, they wanted to run away and hurry back to Tianxia, but they couldn't.
Not so much because of the dead and wounded crew, but because of the lack of food.
Cruise ships call at the port, which is itself planned to replenish food. As a result, I never expected that before the food was replenished, the corpse disaster broke out.
Although there was still some food left on the cruise ship, there was not much left, not enough for more than two hundred people to return to the Tianxia Federation from the Star Alliance. If you leave at this time, you will either starve to death in the middle of the road, or you will kill each other to the point that the number of people is small enough.
Therefore, they argued over whether they should pull anchor and set sail straight back to Tianxia.
After two days of arguing, as the food reserve decreased, everyone stopped arguing, but fell into a treacherous atmosphere, divided into several small groups, and wondered with each other whether to clear a wave of people first.
As long as the number of survivors is small enough, the food left over from the cruise ship will be enough to support the return of Tianxia - as for whether they can find the officers and soldiers in time after running out of food and returning to Tianxia, they can't care about it; In other words, everyone subconsciously felt that as long as they returned to the Federation, they could be rescued by officers and soldiers.
At that time, although they were not residents of the Star Alliance, in a sense, their situation was the epitome of the survivors of the Alliance.
In the Star Alliance, residents do not have the habit of hoarding food, and fast food restaurants and other places usually rely on developed logistics capabilities to equip them with fresh ingredients every day.
But now, no one is delivering food to residential areas.
Needless to say, the biggest challenge facing the survivors of the Alliance is not the living corpses, but the lack of food. After supermarkets, bakeries, etc., were looted, and the League survivors didn't even know where else to grab food.
There are hungry red-eyed madmen who target their own kind and feed on their own kind, but this kind of dehumanizing behavior will only turn the madmen into new living corpses.
And when it comes to cruise ships, the atmosphere on the cruise ships has become more tense as food reserves continue to dwindle.
But just when some of the survivors were about to resist the first strike, a female graduate student named Ye Wen, who was studying at Tianxia Foreign Affairs University, came up with a crazy idea.
"We don't have enough food, but we can find a way to get people with enough food reserves to join us," she told Moon Tung, the captain of the cruise ship, who had been trying to maintain order recently. The current situation of the Star Alliance is very clear, the order has collapsed, there is no way to save it, and it is by no means a good place. It's not just that we don't want to stay here, I'm afraid that many people in the alliance don't want to stay here either. ”
If the initial zombie rate of the inhabitants of the alliance is only 10%, the order may not completely collapse. But the initial cadaver rate of 30% for whites and 50% for blacks kicked the order of the alliance to the edge of the cliff and crumbled almost on the first day of the catastrophe.
If the army can enter the field in time to ensure that the supply of materials continues to drop, it may be able to continue the order of the alliance.
It's a pity that the chaebols, who really control the economic lifeblood of the alliance, can't supply their own materials to the survivors of the alliance for free. The chaebols only airdropped supplies three times, and on the grounds that they had nothing to do with it, they forcefully rejected the alliance's request to let them continue the airdrops.
For the survivors of the Alliance, if there is a way to survive, even if they are asked to give up the nationality of the Alliance that they were proud of in the past, there is no hesitation at the moment.
Wen Dong smiled bitterly: "There must be a lot of people who want to join our alliance, but they don't have food now." If you really have enough food, you must already be a gang, and you can't join us. ”
"No, there is a man, he is possible." Ye Wen muttered.
"Who?"
"Speaker of the House." Ye Wen said word by word, "Weddell Alexander." ”
"Huh?" When Wen Dong heard this name, he was stupid. Now that everyone is the temporary supreme governor of the Alliance, you still want to fool people into joining us?
Ye Wen said: "It's not completely impossible. He didn't have much real power before, he was a pro-federal official, and because he liked to speak for the people, he didn't deal with the chaebol. Although he will become the temporary supreme commander, the army does not listen to him, and the chaebol does not listen to him, it is a false name. ”
"The most important thing is that we have nothing else to do but try it with him." Ye Wen stared at Wen Dong stubbornly, "If you continue like this, you will no longer be able to stop the infighting on the ship." Horizontal and vertical is death, why don't you let me go to Alexandria and try. ”
Ye Wen persuaded Wen Dong. This is the only way that it is possible to avoid a civil war among compatriots on a cruise ship.
So after informing several other small group bosses to wait for Ye Wen's results, Wen Dong decided to personally escort Ye Wen to Weddell Alexander.
In the entire cruise ship, only he, as the captain, could hold a pistol. Other than that, there are no other firearms.
He took a gun, not to kill a living corpse, but to deter other Alliance survivors.
Fortunately, perhaps with God's blessing, on the evening of May 11, they managed to reach the House. And Ye Wen, with a clever tongue, successfully won the opportunity to meet and talk with Weddell Alexander.
As far as Weddell Alexander is concerned, he only learned about the "super soldiers" of the Tianxia Federation from Richard Fielding this afternoon, and he knows that the Federation has an amazing background, and he also knows that the order of the Federation has not collapsed.
Due to the deterioration of the situation in the alliance, Weddell Alexander was unable to return to the sky, and he was already hesitating in his heart, but he happened to meet Ye Wen at this time. In order to return to the Federation, Ye Wen pretended to stand in the perspective of Weddell Alexander, analyzed the unreliability of the chaebol for him, and fatally fooled Alexander to take refuge in the Federation.
"Speaker Alexander, the Federation has a wealth of experience in disaster relief. You went to the Federation to learn advanced disaster relief experience. In this way, you can avoid many detours in the alliance to rebuild the post-disaster order. ”
Ye Wen ran the train with her mouth full, trying to find reasons and excuses for Weddell Alexander's secret visit to the Federation.
Weddell Alexander also said to himself in his heart: O God, please bless the stars, but the humble and incompetent like me cannot bear this responsibility; I have done my best for the order of the alliance, but the chaebols and the military headquarters do not obey my command, and they all look down on me; It's not that I'm sorry for the people of the alliance, but the chaebol are vain ministers of the alliance.
Then, Weddell Alexander, who decided to take refuge in the Federation, began to think about what value he could bring to the Federation.
He looked at the nuclear suitcase to the side and groaned to himself.
In short, seeing that the Alliance was on the verge of capsizing, and that the Federation was stronger than he had imagined, Weddell Alexander decided to change the ship.
But the military department did not listen to him, he could not command the military department, and naturally it was impossible to fly to the Federation. As Ye Wen had expected before, if Weddell Alexander wanted to sneak to the Federation, the best way was to take Ye Wen and Wendong's cruise ship.
And under Weddell Alexander, there are also some soldiers of the special combat team, who can command the work.
The special combat team only accepts the direct command of the alliance leader. However, after the leader of the Star Alliance turned into a living corpse, Weddell Alexander temporarily served as the temporary supreme commander, and he also reluctantly accepted some of the special operations team soldiers.
After Weddell Alexander successfully persuaded the special operations team non-commissioned officers in the name of going to the Federation to learn about disaster resistance, the group carried food back to the cruise ship, left the port smoothly, and sailed to the Federation.
In this regard, Richard Fielding, the defense chief of the Star Alliance, did not know about it at the first time.
After all, after the corpse disaster, even the Star Alliance quickly fell into a situation of power outage and network disconnection. Without the Internet, the delivery of many messages will be extremely slow, and it is easy to miss messages.
Richard Fielding only learned that Weddell Alexander was missing after he couldn't reach the House and couldn't make a phone call to Weddell Alexander's satellite phone.
At first, he thought that Weddell Alexander had died in the attack of the living corpses, and he was quite happy, and decided to send someone to take a helicopter over to pick up the bag and inherit the nuclear suitcase that Weddell Alexander had taken from the corpse of the leader of the alliance, Felip Bych.
But after checking the location of the nuclear suitcase, he suddenly found that the nuclear suitcase was not on the territory of the Star Alliance, but ran to the sea.
This made Richard Fielding blow up directly.
As a hawkish officer, after the corpse disaster, he already suspected that there were outside forces secretly interfering with the nuclear reserve of the Star Alliance. Now that the nuclear suitcase has run away, he no longer has any doubts.
So he took a warship, and after a few days, managed to catch up with the cruise ship.
And seeing that Weddell Alexander did not die, but appeared on the cruise ship, Richard Fielding suddenly changed color: "Alexander! You have betrayed the Alliance! ”
Weddell Alexander, who did not know that there was a positioning device in the nuclear suitcase, panicked and hurriedly explained: "No, no, you listen to my explanation. I'm here to learn from the federal experience of disaster resilience! ”
"Let's go to hell and study!" Richard Fielding was so angry that he didn't bother to listen to Weddell Alexander's sophistry, and raised his hand to shoot him.
"Bang!"
He wanted to shoot him in the head, but he shot Weddell Alexander a little under the throat.
Weddell Alexander was not dead for a while, but he was shot in the throat, and his blood vessels and trachea exploded. With the scattering of blood and the pouring into his trachea, Weddell Alexander felt his consciousness dissipate with it.
At the end of his consciousness, he regretted his greed.
If he hadn't taken the nuclear suitcase with him, and had simply taken refuge in the Federation, he wouldn't have been caught up by Richard Fielding and wouldn't have died.
However, there is no regret medicine in the world.
Weddell Alexander's consciousness sank into darkness, and his body fell heavily on the ship's board.
For the Star Alliance, the nuclear suitcase is an artifact of the town, and even in the last days, it is not something that can be taken casually.
Whoever manipulates the artifact, die!
Richard Fielding, the angry hawkish defense chief, is as rational as a wild horse that has no restraints.
After he got the nuclear suitcase, he did not hesitate to open the nuclear suitcase, and reproduced the steps that had been secretly rehearsed no less than ten times in reality.
It is a transportation hub, an energy reserve, a grain reserve, a high-tech industrial center, and a three-mountain site where the relics of ancient civilization are discovered......
Richard Fielding was next to each other to determine the coordinates, and there seemed to be a flame burning in his pupils.
He's going to destroy the Confederacy's heritage! Completely eliminate the federal threat to the Union!
