Chapter 937: Chapter 406 Summer_3

In response to the disaster in Day After Tomorrow City, the United Nations initiated the Island Plan. Near the gathering point, there is a highway bridge, one end of which connects to the Ring Island Road, and the other end goes through a tunnel and reaches the peninsula to the northwest. Day After Tomorrow City has a geography similar to that of France, with seas on the east and also on the west, but they are not the same body of water.

The East Sea is an ocean, the West Sea is an inland sea, and cities like Day After Tomorrow and Greater Greater Day After all have inland sea harbors. The United Nations plans to build temporary isolation zones on several islands in the inland sea, and it is expected that refugees will be evacuated from the Western Peninsula by warships in half a month.

This is equivalent to giving the desperate suburban and outlying refugees of Day After Tomorrow City a glimmer of hope. After the closure of the eastern base, people didn’t know where to go. Many scattered into the mountains, or settled by rivers and seas, enduring extreme hardships.

For the players, this news is also good. As long as they can retreat to the isolation zones, surviving 180 days should not be difficult. According to historical records, at least until the year 2042, mankind was still closely united together. It was only in the final two years that the law of the jungle prevailed.

Another piece of news is that a battle occurred at the eastern base three nights ago, with the details murky and estimated casualties around 100 people. It is reported that an organization within the eastern base, called the Defenders of Hou Tian, attempted to seize command. Additionally, it’s been said that the base’s military discipline is in disarray, morale is low, many people see no future, a good number have committed suicide, and many have turned to crime. Some criminals have received protection from the base officers and have not been punished, while the victims include both soldiers and their families.

It’s mentioned that the situation at the eastern base has the potential to spiral out of control, and the broadcast group may leave the base soon.

Historically, domestic and foreign, when a military force loses its convictions and goals, this kind of situation emerges. Soldiers may swear allegiance to the nobility, the king, the pope, the nation, the people, or the emperor — their conviction never includes merely scraping by. Normally, an army without convictions would surrender to the enemy, except zombies don’t accept surrender.

The eastern base is well-planned, and they even send out special squads to scavenge for resources. But what’s the point? Without a country, without people, the military loses all purpose. One solution is to discharge over 70% of the soldiers and establish a small kingdom. But which soldiers should be discharged?

Maya believes that the best solution is to contact the United Nations. Given the pressure the eastern base has previously faced, the United Nations should be amenable to negotiation. The eastern base and the United Nations can bargain to reopen shelters, with daily airdrops of supplies to the base. However, doing so would inevitably lead to the punishment of the rebellion leaders, who are currently the ones in power.

Lin Wu, on the other hand, feels a bit of sympathy for them. If they hadn’t revolted, the eastern base might no longer exist.

But after such turmoil, the eastern base couldn’t bother with Nightmare and company.

Living in the mountains, time becomes meaningless; because they couldn’t go out, the 45-day spring had just passed. To Xiao Wu and the other NPCs, a 45-day season seems completely normal. Lin Wu knows he can’t outwit Dawn, this sharp-minded being, and can only lament why he didn’t simply tell the truth from the beginning that he was a player.

Dawn also has many strengths, such as trustworthiness. On day D46, the first day of summer, a heatwave strikes, with temperatures rocketing to 39 degrees Celsius. It is then that everyone understands what a terrible place the railway bridge base is.

Staying inside the carriages would cook someone to medium rare; leaving the cars found them without shade, as the barren bridge surface was relentlessly scorched by the sun, forcing Lin Wu and the rest to seek coolness beneath the vehicles. A stark contrast is the base of Cai Rou and others, where the position of the sun was taken into acount; utilizing trees and terrain, they constructed houses such that in summer they got no more than three hours of sunlight and in winter at least eight hours. Not only was the mountain breeze refreshing, but their overall temperature was also 4-5 degrees lower than that of the railway bridge base.

The only good news is that after the scorching summer sun, the epidemic came to an end. Of course, this did not include places like sewers. In the afternoon, ground temperatures soared to over 60 degrees Celsius, killing any bacteria. Under the relentless sun, corpses would dry into mummies.

The large reduction in sky-circling scavenger birds also supported this conclusion.
