Chapter 515: Minyang Shelter Area
Gannan Province, Minyang Shelter District.
It is an important transportation route connecting western Sichuan and Gannan.
Materials from western Sichuan are continuously transported to the northwest region through two routes, railway and high-speed, and undertake 40% of the material distribution in the two large sheltered areas of Lanzhou and Xining.
If this line is cut off, two large sanctuaries in the northwest will be starved of supplies.
No way.
The provinces of the Central Plains must give priority to supplying supplies to Kyoto and the Liaodong battlefield.
As for the two large shelters, they can only be supplemented by dispatching resources from western Sichuan and central Sichuan.
It's just that after a blia that swept through most of Middle-earth, even this main road from south to north was blocked.
Large numbers of transport trucks were stopped near the Minyang refuge area, and the local traffic department had to deploy a large number of snow plows in an attempt to open a vehicular road on the highway.
Fortunately, the Minyang Sanctuary Area is sparsely populated, and because it is far away from the two large battlefields of the Pamirs and Liaodong, there are very few evil spirits here.
Only occasionally there are a few locally born ghosts and zombies doing evil here, and then they are jumped around by the local demon suppressors.
The current Minyang shelter area is more important to fight against natural disasters.
As for the demons and zombies, hehe, it's just like that. Anyway, the Propaganda Department is popularizing science every day, explaining the essence of life and the weaknesses of evil spirits.
If you really meet it, you should meet the beast.
Amazing, a little smarter beast.
Therefore, after the advent of the end of the French era, the people in the interior were panicked and the border was miserable, but this kind of place still maintained a stable order.
There are even people who trek through the snow to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs that they haven't had time to collect.
Astragalus, Codonopsis, Angelica and the like, these are the specialties of the Minyang shelter area.
Of course, it is very dangerous for three or five people to leave the shelter and go to the planting area in the mountains, and most of them go in groups.
There is also the Consulate responsible for gathering manpower, and then inviting local demon suppressors to escort them.
The medicinal herbs obtained can also be exchanged for food and daily necessities with the outside world.
What if the era of the end of the Dharma is coming? What if a nuclear bomb explodes? As long as you are alive, you have to keep eating.
In the Minyang Sanctuary area, the snow has been cleared clean, and the streets are littered with paint-smeared runes to suppress evil spirits, and some key locations even use metal wire to make runes.
On both sides of the street, there are anti-evil runes hanging on the doors of every house, and the inner walls are also full of runes.
Don't look at the protection of light and shadow runes in the shelter area, but seriously, everyone is willing to spare their lives, and everyone is willing to set up another layer of anti-evil runes in their homes.
lest an evil spirit sneak into his house.
The entrance to the sanctuary is located on the main road into the city.
The road faces the frozen Tao River on one side and rolling green hills on the other.
It's just that the current green mountains have long since turned into snow-capped mountains.
There are very few vehicles on the road, only snow plows, transporters, and off-road motorcycles from the communications department.
Cars for ordinary people have largely disappeared.
Most of them ride bicycles or walk.
Anyway, after the advent of the era of the end of the law, the physical fitness of ordinary people is getting better and better, and walking forty or fifty kilometers a day is like playing.
If you get on a bike, you can go farther.
There is no way, they are all forced by fuel.
Fuel delivery is very difficult now, and it is a military item.
Only the Consulate, the Demon Suppressor, and the Transportation Department have the right to apply.
It is even more difficult for ordinary people to use gasoline than to climb to the sky.
It may be because the Minyang refuge area is relatively remote, and few evil people dare to enter the refuge area.
As a result, there is no particularly strict control policy at the entrance to the sanctuary area.
But just then, a filthy old man dressed in a linen robe and full of white hair appeared outside the shelter.
He didn't seem to understand anything, and slammed straight into the railing that blocked the way.
The demon suppressor on duty next to him hurriedly stopped him: "Stop! Hold it! ”
"Where's your pass?"
Because of the need for people on the highway next to it, there have been a lot of people coming in and out of the shelter area in recent times.
For the convenience of administration, everyone who goes out must wear a pass as a sign of return.
If you don't have a pass, you are generally considered an outsider and you need to go through an audit before you can enter.
This is to prevent murderers or soul-tainted believers from entering the interior to wreak havoc.
The old man turned his head and glanced at the demon suppressor, and said blankly, "No." ”
The Demon Suppressor replied, "Old man, you can't enter without a pass." Are you a refugee? ”
"Is there an ID card from the old days? If so, I can perform a soul test for you, and if you are not tainted, you can apply for a pass with your ID card. ”
The old man shook his head blankly again: "I don't have an ID either." ”
The Demon Suppressor smiled bitterly, "Why don't you have anything?" ”
After speaking, he looked at the old man carefully.
In the cold weather, the old man didn't even wear a down jacket, only a rag robe.
He had a scruffy beard, messy hair, and an unusual gray color.
If you look closely, you can even see that his eyes are gray.
The demon suppressor was a little soft-hearted and said, "This year, it's also luck to be able to escape all the way." ”
"In this way, I will do a soul test for you and make an exception to get you a pass."
The companion next to him whispered: "Lao Wang! It's against the rules! The Governing Office has repeatedly ordered that in order to apply for a permit for refugees, two conditions must be met at the same time. First, the origin is clear, such as having an ID card from the old era. ”
"Then you have to go through the soul test."
"I don't have an ID card, but you give him a pass, what if something goes wrong?"
Lao Wang sighed and said, "I also know that this is against the rules. But you don't want to think about it, if it's a refugee, who cares about looking for an ID card? ”
"Besides, isn't there a soul test in the way? As long as the soul test is okay, what can an old man do? ”
The companion still wanted to persuade him, but Lao Wang waved his hand and said, "Okay, that's it." I'll take responsibility for what goes wrong. ”
"Old Fang, you take him to the soul testing room. Be careful, don't get out of the basket. ”
"Also, notify the refugee shelter and let a few people come to check for him, although he doesn't have an ID card, but we have to be careful about the rest."
The crowd immediately got busy.
In fact, this kind of thing often happens in the Minyang shelter.
I heard that there was a group of corpses in the Dingxi shelter area.
These corpses numbered about 300 people, and they spent their days searching for villages and attacking the living.
One of the leading corpses gave birth to Lingzhi, claiming to be the king of corpse mountain, and his strength almost reached level A.
You must know that since the Gannan Demon Suppression Envoy died in battle, the newly appointed Demon Suppression Envoy is only an A-level.
The Dingxi Shelter Area can't compete with the King of Corpse Mountain, so it can only gather people.
But there are still zombies roaming around, hunting villagers who have never entered the sanctuary area.
Under these circumstances, many villagers fled in the direction of the provincial capital and Minyang.
Almost every day, refugees arrive in groups to the Minyang refuge area.
It's just an old man, and nothing will go wrong.
The old man seemed to have a bit of a problem with his IQ, and even if he was taken for a soul test, he was still like a puppet, at the mercy of others.
Soon, the person in charge of the soul detection sent a message.
The old man's soul fluctuates greatly, but there are no signs of contamination, which meets the soul testing standard.
Although he did not have an identity card, the old man was still brought back by the refugee shelter that had been rushed in.
It is worth mentioning that two people from the refugee shelter were riding a pedal tricycle.
As for electric cars?
Just kidding, how scarce electricity is these days.
Not only is transportation difficult, but even power generation has plummeted.
If you can use manpower these days, you should try to use manpower as much as possible.
After the old man was pulled away, the checkpoint position was calm.
No one took the old man's entry into the city seriously.
It wasn't until more than an hour later that an off-road vehicle drove up from the national highway.
The ones who can drive these years are either official departments or capable exorcists.
Anyway, no ordinary person in the middle of the day can start this.
So when he saw this car, the demon suppressor in charge of the sentry immediately stood up, and the companions next to him also picked up the rune war knives one after another and prepared for contingencies.
There is no way, now the communication between the Minyang shelter area and the outside world has been broken.
Even if the Consulate gets information, it has to send motorcycle messengers out to deliver the news.
With this kind of efficiency, many guys with dark hearts will do things that they don't dare to do on weekdays.
Seriously, in the wilderness, it's not just the ghost zombies who dare to rob the transporter, but also some extremely vicious and psychopathic guys.
Fortunately, the car slowed down as it approached the checkpoint.
Immediately after that, the co-pilot of the vehicle got down a strong man with a rune war knife on his back.
Without saying a word, he took out his ID and handed it to the Demon Suppressor, and said quickly: "The combat unit under the Hidden Bureau is on a mission!" ”
The demon soldier took the document and only glanced at it, and his eyelids jumped quickly.
This is the identification certificate issued by the Secret Bureau to the folk exorcists.
The folk exorcists who have this proof have all made significant contributions to Middle-earth.
And there are also grades of identity documents.
According to different contributions, it is divided into five grades: gold, silver, copper, iron, and lead.
Among them, the lead grade is the smallest, and the gold grade is the largest.
And the document in the hand of the man in front of him is bright silver, which clearly means that the contribution has reached the silver level!
You know, reaching this level means that you have made great contributions to Middle-earth, and you can enjoy many of the privileges of the Hidden Bureau!
No wonder the other party drove an off-road vehicle!
The demon suppressor respectfully returned the documents to the other party, but he didn't dare to delve into the other party's origin, and said, "Mr. Han, is there anything you need our cooperation with?" ”
Mr. Han said quickly, "Is there an old man in ragged clothes who looks stupid and stupid passing by here?" ”
The Demon Suppressor quickly replied, "Yes! ”
"The old man has lost his identity document, but his soul test is normal. So I handed him over to a refugee shelter. ”
Mr. Han's face suddenly turned pale, and even his hands trembled slightly.
He took a deep breath and said quickly, "Who is your consul here?" Immediately, immediately, let him come to me! ”
"Quick!"
Seeing the other party's expression, the demon suppressor was a little panicked for a while.
But at this time, another voice came from the off-road vehicle: "Okay, Han Laoer, the matter has come to this point, even if the local consul comes, it will not help." ”
"Moreover, since the checkpoint is fine, it means that the other party is also a little interesting. He may have deliberately waited for us to pass. ”
Inside the vehicle, a bewitching boy with white hair jumped out of the driver's seat.
His face was calm and he said, "Wait outside, don't go into the shelter." I'm going to meet him. ”
"I've been chasing and killing each other for more than ten days, and I haven't even seen each other, which is indeed rude."
In the cold weather, beads of sweat appeared on Mr. Han's head, and he hurriedly said, "Captain! It's too dangerous! ”
"We'll go with you!"
The white-haired boy shook his head: "It's useless for you to go." If you can't talk about it, you probably have to die here. ”
"Alright, let's keep waiting. Anyway, the evil suppression team is coming, and with that guy Zhang Sanfen here, maybe things will take a turn for the better. ”
