Chapter 515 Minyang Sanctuary Area
Gannan Province, Minyang Sanctuary Area.
This is an important transportation route connecting western Sichuan and southern Gansu.
Materials from western Sichuan are continuously transported to the northwest region through railways and highways, responsible for 40% of the material distribution in Lanzhou and Xining, two large shelter areas.
If this line is cut off, the two large shelter areas in the northwest region will definitely be in a state of shortage of supplies.
no way.
All provinces in the Central Plains must give priority to providing supplies to Kyoto and Liaodong battlefields.
As for the two large shelter areas, resources can only be mobilized from western and central Sichuan to supplement them.
However, after a heavy snowstorm swept through most of the Middle-earth, even this traffic artery from south to north was jammed.
Large numbers of transport trucks were intercepted near the Minyang shelter area, and the local transportation department had to dispatch a large number of snow plows to try to open a path for vehicles on the highway.
Fortunately, the Minyang Sanctuary Area is vast and sparsely populated, and it is far away from the two large battlefields of the Pamir Plateau and Liaodong, so there are very few evil spirits here.
There are only occasionally some locally born undead souls and zombies doing evil everywhere, and then they are chased away by the local demon-suppressing soldiers and run around everywhere.
The current Minyang shelter area is more focused on fighting against natural disasters.
As for the evil ghosts and zombies, haha, that's just what you get used to. Anyway, the Propaganda Department is popularizing science every day, explaining the evil nature of life and its weaknesses.
If you really meet one, it’s like meeting a wild beast.
Awesome is a smarter beast.
Therefore, after the advent of the End of Dharma, people in the mainland are panicked and the borders are miserable. On the contrary, this kind of place still maintains a stable order.
Some people even trudged through the snow to the mountains to collect medicinal materials that they had not had time to collect.
Astragalus, Codonopsis pilosula, Angelica sinensis, etc., these are all specialties of the Minyang refuge area.
Of course, it is easy for three or five people to leave the shelter area and go to the planting area on the mountain. Most people go there in groups.
There is also a ruling office responsible for gathering manpower and then inviting local demon-suppressing soldiers to escort them.
The medicinal materials obtained can also be used to exchange food and daily necessities with the outside world.
What will happen when the Dharma-ending era comes? What would happen if the nuclear bomb exploded? As long as a person is alive, he must continue to eat.
In the Minyang Sanctuary, the snow has been cleared away, and the streets are filled with evil-suppressing runes painted with paint. In some key locations, metal threads are even used to make runes.
On both sides of the street, evil-suppressing runes are hung at the door of every house, and there are also runes on the walls inside.
Although the sanctuary area is protected by light and shadow runes, to be honest, everyone cherishes their lives and everyone is willing to set up another layer of evil-suppressing runes in their own homes.
Lest evil spirits sneak into your home.
The entrance to the shelter area is located on the main road into the city.
One side of this road faces the frozen Tao River, and the other side is rolling green mountains.
But now the green mountains have already turned into snow mountains.
There are very few vehicles on the road, only snow plows, transport vehicles, and off-road motorcycles from the communications department walking back and forth.
Cars for ordinary people have basically become extinct.
Most of them ride bicycles or walk.
Anyway, after the end of the Dharma era, the physical fitness of ordinary people is getting better and better. Walking forty or fifty kilometers a day seems like a joke.
If paired with a bicycle, you can run further.
There is no way, they are all forced by fuel.
It is very difficult to transport fuel now, and it is military supplies.
Only the executive office, demon-suppressing soldiers, and transportation and other departments have the right to apply.
It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to use gasoline.
It may be because the Minyang Sanctuary is relatively remote and few evil spirits dare to enter the Sanctuary.
Therefore, there are no particularly strict control policies at the entrance to the sanctuary area.
But at this moment, a dirty old man wearing a linen robe and white hair appeared outside the asylum.
He didn't seem to understand anything and ran straight into the railing blocking the road.
The demon-suppressing soldier on duty nearby hurriedly stopped him: "Stop! Stop!"
"Where's your pass?"
Because people are needed on the highway next to it, there have been more people entering and leaving the sanctuary recently.
For the convenience of management, everyone who goes out must wear a pass as a sign of coming back.
If you don’t have a pass, you will generally be considered an outsider and need to be reviewed before entering.
This is to prevent evildoers or soul-polluted believers from entering and causing damage.
The old man turned to look at the demon-suppressing soldier and said blankly: "No."
The demon-suppressing soldier replied: "Old man, you can't enter without a pass. Are you a refugee from other places?"
"I still have the ID card from the old era. Do you have one? If so, I can conduct a soul test for you. If it is not contaminated, you can apply for a pass with your ID card."
The old man shook his head blankly again: "I don't have an ID card either."
The demon-suppressing soldier smiled bitterly: " Why don't you have anything?"
After finishing 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 was unshaven and his hair was messy, and all of it was an abnormal gray color.
If you look carefully, you can even see that his eyes are gray.
The demon-suppressing soldier was a little soft-hearted and said: "These days, it is lucky to escape all the way here." "
In this way, I will do a soul test for you and make an exception for you to get a pass."
The companion next to him whispered: "Old Wang ! This is against the rules! The executive office has repeatedly issued orders that if you apply for a pass for a refugee, two conditions must be met at the same time. One is to have a clear origin, such as an ID card from the old era."
"The other is to pass a soul test. ."
"You apply for a pass for him without an ID card. What will happen if something goes wrong?"
Lao Wang sighed and said, "I also know that this is against the rules. But don't you think about it, if he is a refugee, who will come? Do you care about looking for your ID card?" "Besides, isn't there a soul test that's blocking your way? As long as there's no problem with the soul test, what can an old man do?"
His companion wanted to persuade him, but Lao Wang waved his hand. He said, "Okay, that's it. If something goes wrong, I'll take the responsibility."
"Lao Fang, take him to the soul examination room. Be careful and don't make mistakes."
"Also, notify the refugee shelter and a few people will come to conduct an epidemic prevention check on him. Although he does not have an ID card, we have to be careful about other things."
Everyone immediately became busy.
In fact, this kind of thing happens often in the Minyang shelter area.
I heard that a group of corpses appeared in the Dingxi asylum area.
The number of these corpses is about three hundred, and they are looking for villages to attack the living every day.
One of the leading corpses gave birth to Lingzhi, calling himself the King of Corpse Mountain, and his strength almost reached A level.
You know, since the Gannan Demon Suppressor died in the battle, the new Demon Suppressor was only an A-level one.
The Dingxi Sanctuary was unable to compete with the Corpse Mountain King, so it had no choice but to gather its manpower.
But there are still zombies wandering around, hunting villagers who have never entered the sanctuary.
In this case, many villagers fled towards the provincial capital and Minyang with their families.
Refugees arrive in Minyang shelter area in small groups almost every day.
He's just an old man, nothing will go wrong.
The old man seemed to have some problems with his IQ. Even when he was taken for soul testing, he was still like a puppet, allowing himself to be manipulated.
Soon, the person responsible for soul detection sent a message.
The old man's soul fluctuates greatly, but there are no signs of contamination, which meets the soul detection standards.
Although he did not have an ID card, the old man was still taken back by the refugee shelter that arrived.
It is worth mentioning that the two people who came to the refugee shelter were riding a pedal tricycle.
As for electric cars?
Just kidding, electricity is so scarce these days.
Not only is transportation difficult, but even power generation has plummeted.
These days, we should use as much manpower as we can.
After the old man was taken away, the checkpoint position returned to calm.
No one took the old man's coming to town seriously.
It wasn't until more than an hour later that an off-road vehicle drove over from the national highway covered with dust.
Those who can drive these days are either from the official department or are capable exorcists.
Anyway, no ordinary ordinary person can afford this.
So when he saw this car, the demon-suppressing soldier in charge of the checkpoint immediately stood up, and his companions next to him also picked up the rune sword and were ready for contingency.
There is no way, the communication between Minyang Shelter Area and the outside world has been cut off.
Even when the executive office obtains information, it must send motorcycle communicators out to deliver the message.
With this kind of efficiency, many people with dark hearts will do things they wouldn't dare to do on a daily basis.
To be honest, in the wilderness, it is not only evil zombies who dare to rob transport vehicles, but also some extremely vicious and psychopathic guys.
Fortunately, the car slowed down as it approached the checkpoint.
Immediately after, the co-pilot of the vehicle got out of a strong man carrying a rune sword.
Without saying a word, he took out his ID and handed it to the demon-suppressing soldier, and said quickly: "The combat unit affiliated to the Secret Bureau is performing a mission!"
The demon-suppressing soldier took the ID and only glanced at it, his eyelids twitching quickly. got up.
This is the identity certificate issued by the Bureau of Secrets to civilian exorcists.
All the folk exorcists with this certificate have made significant contributions to Middle-earth.
Moreover, ID documents are also divided into different levels.
According to different contributions, it is divided into five levels: gold, silver, copper, iron and lead.
Among them, the lead level is the smallest and the gold level is the largest.
The certificate in the man's hand was bright silver, and his contribution had clearly reached the silver level!
You know, reaching this level means that you have made great contributions to Middle-earth and can enjoy many privileges of the Secret Bureau!
No wonder the other party can drive an off-road vehicle!
The demon-suppressing soldier respectfully returned the certificate to the other party, but did not dare to delve into the other party's origin. He said: "Mr. Han, is there anything we need to cooperate with?"
Mr. Han said quickly: "Is there a ragged man? A stupid old man passed by here?"
The demon-suppressing soldier quickly replied: "Yes!"
"The old man lost his identity document, but his soul test was normal. So I handed him over to the refugee shelter."
Mr. Han His face suddenly turned pale, and even his hands were trembling slightly.
He took a deep breath and said quickly: "Who is your consul here? Let him come to see me immediately, immediately!"
"Quick!"
The demon-suppressing soldier was a little panicked when he saw the other party's expression.
But at this moment, another voice came from the off-road vehicle: "Okay, Han Laoer, the matter is over, even if the local consul comes, it will not help." "
Besides, since the checkpoint is okay, it means that the other party is also interesting. . He may be waiting for us to pass by on purpose."
Inside the vehicle, a strange boy with white hair jumped out of the driving position.
He looked calm and said: "You guys wait outside and don't enter the shelter area. I'm going to see this
guy." "I've been chasing him for more than ten days and I haven't even seen him in person. It's really rude. "
In the cold weather, beads of sweat broke out on Mr. Han's forehead. He said hurriedly: "Captain! This is too dangerous!"
"We will go with you!"
The white-haired boy shook his head: "You can go too. It's useless. If we can't reach an agreement, we'll probably have to die here."
"Okay, just keep waiting. Anyway, the anti-evil team is coming, and with that guy Zhang Sanfen here, maybe things can turn around. ."
