November 26, 2013.

winter.

The 64th day after the end of the world

Atlanta Quarantine.

"Hiss~"

The biting cold woke Brian up from his sleep. He trembled all over and opened his eyes, sitting up from the ground. The place where he looked was dim, and he could only vaguely see the inside of a small venue.

There were still people lying around him, snoring slightly one after another, and they were obviously still in deep sleep.

Brian pulled up his slightly open down jacket and glanced around him, discovering that the blanket covering him had been rolled up by Sarah who was lying next to him at some point. No wonder he was cold. Awake.

Then his eyes moved up, passing over Alan, Lucy, and the pair of nephews who had helped him. After entering the quarantine area, he also learned their names. The nephew's name was Daphne, and the boy's name was Dick. But in the end, his eyes stayed on Anna, who was covered with a blanket and twitching. freewёbnoνel.com

Since the death of Wilfred yesterday, Anna's condition has become extremely bad. Her whole person has become confused and sluggish at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Brian couldn't understand how he felt about the pain of losing a loved one, but he knew it must be a pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow!

"well!"

With a slight sigh, Brian put his thoughts back. Yesterday's scene of being chased by the infected crowd was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Although after they entered the safe area, they were put on trucks by the soldiers and headed to the isolation area. They did not see the infected people attacking the isolation fence. But after thinking about it, we also know that in the past, there were many infected people. Without breaking through the isolation barrier, it would be impossible to achieve the amount we have today.

At the entrance of the isolation area, Atlanta soldiers began to test them. In addition to the necessary scans, men and women also had to check their whole bodies separately, and then they were given the right clothes.

Of course, everyone's firearms need to be turned in and under unified control. According to the soldier's explanation, except for the military, civilians have no right to own firearms in the quarantine area. As for other items in the backpack, they have not been touched. If there are scarce items, you can You can choose to keep it yourself, or you can turn it in and exchange it for supply cards of similar value.

After entering the quarantine area, the soldiers were walked alone, while the survivors were all arranged into a small exhibition hall nearest the inner gate. They would rest here temporarily until tomorrow. Make specific arrangements for them.

They entered the exhibition hall at one o'clock in the afternoon, and in the following time, other survivors arrived one after another. Although they were wearing thin clothes, they could not hide the daze and fatigue on their faces.

Until nightfall, no one entered the exhibition hall. Brian took a closer look at the number of people. Of the nearly a thousand people who survived, only less than half of them actually entered the quarantine area at this moment.

㱗Before entering the exhibition hall, he specifically found Tracy and asked the question that had been buried in his heart. If a thousand of them had to go through such difficulty to enter the quarantine area, then they would wait until the support convoys from other places arrived. , by that time it will not be nearly a thousand people, but probably nearly ten thousand people.

Not to mention other quarantine areas, let's talk about the remaining convoys coming from Dallas. How will they enter the quarantine area? It's impossible to follow their method, right? How many people would die?

In response to Brian's question, Tracy laughed and explained helplessly: "I have also asked the commander this question. I can only say that we are not very lucky. If the carpet bombing has not been carried out for a long time, Originally, Atlanta's army planned to open a passage directly to the gate of the quarantine zone, and arranged the tanks and convoys in the safe zone just for this operation. However, the time we came was unlucky, and there were not many people. , it is not worth mobilizing the army to support, and we need to enter the quarantine area as soon as possible, so..."

When talking about this, Tracy became a little uncomfortable, and her expression gradually darkened.

Although the other party did not continue to say anything, Brian understood what the other party was going to say next. In the final analysis, the number of people was less than a thousand, and it was not worth the large-scale deployment of the army to cover the entry into the quarantine area.

From an overall perspective, this approach is correct. We are in the end of the world, and all available resources must play the greatest role, but for the survivors, it is particularly cruel!

Slowly standing up from the ground, Brian took out the letter that Wilfred gave him from his arms, and tiptoed to Anna's side,

Seeing the other person wrapping his whole body in a blanket, he squatted down and quietly stuffed the letter into the gap in the blanket, so that she could read it early tomorrow morning.

Then Brian returned to his previous position, raised his hand and looked at the time, and found that it was only three o'clock in the morning.

"Ah~, let's catch up on some more sleep!" After shaking his head, he reached out to pull his blanket back from Sarah's body.

But who would have thought that as soon as Brian pulled the blanket, Sarah, who was sleeping, subconsciously grabbed the blanket, opened her eyes slightly, and murmured: "Cold~"

After hearing this, Brian's movements immediately stopped, gave up and continued to pull the blanket, feeling a strange feeling in his heart.

He just sat there, quietly looking at Sarah's sleeping side face. He suddenly realized that the weight of this girl who accompanied him all the way was getting heavier and heavier in his heart. If it were the girl he had just passed through, For a while, if he encountered someone like yesterday, he would abandon the other person without mercy, but now he...

Thinking of how he had to save others even if he risked his life yesterday, Brian now felt a little incredible about his behavior.

Withdrawing his gaze, he leaned back against the wall, raised his head slightly and half-squinted his eyes. His thoughts suddenly became unusually messy. He... what's going on?

.....

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the exhibition, the door was suddenly opened from the outside. A one-eyed officer walked to the door. He looked at the survivors who were still sleeping in the exhibition hall and used his own He slammed the door three times with his fist and shouted inside: "All personnel, please pay attention. The entrance of the exhibition hall will close in ten minutes. If you exceed the time limit, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

After saying that, he turned around and left without looking at the awakened people inside, leaving two soldiers guarding the door.

As the officer left, the quiet venue suddenly became lively. Everyone got out of their beds and started packing their things.

Brian was already in a light sleep. The sound of tapping on the door just now made him wake up immediately. He turned his head and saw that Anna, Lucy and the couple had all gotten up, but Anna and Allen were not. Still sleeping soundly there.

He walked to the two of them, squatted down and shouted into their ears without mercy: "Get up! Get up!"

The harsh sound broke into their ears, and the two of them suddenly felt as if they were struck by lightning. They sat up suddenly and saw Brian's gloating smile. The one was so angry!

When Brian woke the two of them up, he glanced in Anna's direction from the corner of his eye and saw that the letter was no longer there, and Anna had folded the blanket, although her face was still hard to hide. Sad, but much better than yesterday. I hope you have seen that letter.

Seeing this, he relaxed a little. After all, the reason why people live is to have a belief. If this belief is destroyed, then people will feel despair about life and have thoughts of suicide. Anna was in this situation yesterday. state.

But now her state is completely different from yesterday. You don't need to guess to know that it was the letter left by Wilfred that gave her faith!

ten minutes later.

In the open space at the entrance of the exhibition hall, all the survivors gathered here. After counting the number of people, the soldiers nodded towards the one-eyed officer at the front.

Looking at the soldiers' movements, the one-eyed officer raised the corner of his mouth, nodded with satisfaction, and said in a rough voice: "There is no thorn this time, which is very strange. I feel very good about you now!"

Then he watched the crowd begin to pace back and forth, and continued: "First of all, welcome everyone to the Atlanta quarantine zone. You are the fourth group of teams to arrive here, but with all due respect, you are also the most unlucky group."

"Since you have entered the quarantine area, I will tell you the most important rules of the quarantine area. I hope you will listen." As he said that, the one-eyed officer stretched out his hand and said:

"1. Complete military management is implemented in the quarantine area. Any resident in the quarantine area must show his or her ID to the questioning officers at any time and accept inspection at any time. The ID will be issued to you next."

"2. Strict gun control is implemented in the isolation area. All civilians are not allowed to possess firearms. Once discovered, they will be directly expelled from the isolation area. If they maliciously harm others, they will be shot on the spot."

"3. All residents of the quarantine area need to work, produce resources for the quarantine area, and earn supply cards for themselves. The supply card is what you need to pay to receive rations. You can also understand it as currency."

"4. As a resident of the quarantine area, everyone needs to participate in the task of maintaining the quarantine area every six months. Specific matters will be notified separately. However, if you refuse to participate, you will be restricted in food rations and lose your right to live in the quarantine area. Of course, now It won't be implemented soon, so you don't have to worry about anything for the time being, you just need to know that this is happening."
