SimCity from Wasteland

Chapter 50: The Crisis (1)

The development of a city at the beginning of its establishment cannot be ruined for a moment of greed.

If the system finds out, it will definitely erase the gold coins it swiped. At that time, not only the currency issuance will fail, but time will be wasted, and it may be punished by the system.

People and money are empty.

No, absolutely not.

And just as the city of hope was developing in full swing, in the survivor base far south of the city of hope, the soldiers guarding the gate discovered something strange about the gathering place.

"Strange, why do more than a dozen refugees disappear every day? From a week ago to now, hundreds of people have been lost, including five convoys. It's been several days, and there has been no movement. Do you want to report it!?"

The soldier looked at the names on the registration form that had not been crossed out for a long time, and couldn't help being a little surprised that they appeared again today.

He had noticed this four days ago. At first he thought that he had died on the wasteland, but every day there were more than a dozen people missing, sometimes as many as 20.

It has been going on for several days, and more than a dozen people are killed every day, which is somewhat unreasonable.

Coupled with the fact that five convoys never came back after going out some time ago, he couldn't help but start to have some doubts. Could it be that a herd of deformed beasts that they didn't know came to the wasteland, killing some people every day, and killing people every day? so?
Thinking of this, the soldier couldn't help shivering, thinking that this matter still needs to be reported.

In the evening, he knocked on the door of the head of the census department who was in charge of this area.

"What, you mean someone is missing every day, and it's been going on for a week!?"

The head of the census department was a middle-aged man, and he was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Moreover, most of the missing people are refugees, and there were five convoys that did not come back some time ago. I think they must have also disappeared. After they disappeared, the families of these convoys also disappeared. The number is about 400 people." said the soldier again.

The head of the Census Department gasped: "Five convoys disappeared all of a sudden, including their families!! Why didn't you tell me earlier!?"

The soldier trembled all over and didn't dare to say anything, so he could only say in a very small voice: "I, I'm not sure if they will come back, after all, this phenomenon happened before, and more than 20 people didn't come back today. I saw that something was wrong, so I reported it.”

"You go back first, I'm going out for a while!"

The head of the Census Department took a deep breath, this matter can be big or small.

Most of the missing people are refugees, and refugees are the existence with the least status. It doesn’t matter whether they die or not, but this time is different. You must know that it has been five years since the gathering place went from underground to above ground, except for those who first explored the surrounding wilderness. At that time, after a large number of people died, in the fifth year now, few people have disappeared.

There are more than a dozen ruins, large and small, around the gathering place, all of which are relatively safe at present.

Even if someone is missing, the highest number of people killed in a day is only four or five people.

Sometimes not even.

And now there have been people missing for a week in a row, and there are more than a dozen people every day, and some even more than 20 people.

This is no small matter, and it means that there is a high possibility that aberrant beasts have appeared in the ruins, and they are hunting the refugees who left the city.

And the reason why they hunt and kill refugees is very likely that they don't want the gathering place to know their existence.

The convoy had weapons, and it had cars, most likely by which they escaped.

But the refugees are different. They only have two legs, and their weapons are some sticks, which are not powerful. Once they encounter the abnormal beast, they basically have no room for resistance except death.

Although it was already night, this matter was extraordinary, and the head of the Census Department reported it non-stop.

The incident was reported to the high-level, and it immediately attracted attention. The city was immediately ordered to be temporarily closed tomorrow, and the army will be sent to search various areas of the wasteland.

In City of Hope, there are five or six people gathered in a house, and these people are all characters with relatively fierce faces.

"Brothers, I have also seen the situation today. The city does not provide food materials for free, and they all need money. This time, I made everyone anxious, and decided to replace all the food in everyone's hands with fresh food. Then we Use a cart to pull these foods to the gathering place to sell! New things are hard to come by in the gathering place!"

"The money from the sale is enough for us to spend a lifetime in style!"

One of the bald heads with scars said that today is the day of currency issuance, and many people without jobs are facing money problems.

The six of them are cool these days, they have nothing to do every day, and they don't have to worry about eating.

But it’s no longer possible, currency issuance, once the money in their hands is spent, they will have no money, but they are lazy and don’t want to work hard, so they decide to use money to buy a lot of food and go to gathering places for trading.

Although the life in the gathering place is not as good as here, at least if you have money, you can live there.

The most important point is that there are women in the gathering place, but not here.

When the other people heard it, they all agreed.

The next day, they went to the supermarket to do a lot of shopping. They bought all kinds of fresh ingredients and spent all the money in their bank cards. Even if they had a few cents left, they bought some lollipops.

Then they found their own car and drove off. Their car was parked in the ruins, unattended, but without a key.

But that didn't stop them.

After taking two cars, I took the supplies and set off on the road.

When passing the bridge, I saw soldiers with live ammunition beside the bridge. These people were terrified. Fortunately, the soldiers did not stop their cars. As for the vehicles going out, Xia Yuan meant that they were free to go out, and they had to be registered and confiscated when entering. weapons and equipment.

"Strange, why do I feel that the number of soldiers here has increased, and houses have started to be built over there."

"Did you find out that the city is changing every day. I have to say that if the city does not issue currency, I really don't want to leave this fairy tale world."

"Yes."

Some people showed regret on their faces. They looked at the ID cards they had just obtained yesterday, sighed in their hearts, and finally turned their eyes to the road ahead.

They brought two truckloads of fresh food, which can definitely fetch a good price.

However, what they didn't know was that today was the day when the gathering place closed the city, and more than 4000 troops were divided into four groups and sent around to look for the abnormal beast.

After three hours, they left the high mountain range and started to go to the No. [-] ruins.At this time, a group of thousands of people was heading to the No. [-] ruins.

This team is the Third Corps of the Ground Forces, headed by Commander Sun Tusun!
A team of thousands of people consists of dozens of trucks.

"Commander, two cars were found north of the No. [-] ruins! It doesn't look like a car in the city! There are six people sitting in the car, and there are a lot of fresh food! They claim to be from a city called City of Hope !"

The convoy hadn't reached the ruins of No. [-] yet, and a soldier rushed to the suffix unit with extremely important information.

Sun Tu's eyes widened, and he stood up from his seat in shock!
"what!"
