Chapter 461: The Great Migration

Views:

Tuanjie City is located on the northeast side of Hope City, close to the center of the reconstruction area, and is also the hardest-hit city among them.

Through the virtual reality image of the spacecraft, Luo Yuan could clearly see that it was only thirty or forty kilometers away from one of the craters, and that the surrounding area was covered with ice and snow, showing undulating waves.

Obviously, when the disaster occurred, the sand here was melted into liquid by high temperatures, and was blown by strong winds to show this wave-like structure. Fortunately, this wave-shaped area is still some distance away from Tuanjie City. Otherwise, the entire Tuanjie City will be melted by high temperatures.

But even so, the damage was quite serious. Looking down from a high altitude, it can be seen that the upper floors of Tuanjie City, including several underground floors, have completely collapsed and become a ruins covered with ice and snow.

The spacecraft landed five kilometers away from Tuanjie City.

As the cabin door opened, Luo Yuan and tens of thousands of military police officers walked out of the spacecraft in an orderly manner. Many people still had shock on their faces and looked back at the spacecraft behind them from time to time.

It didn't take long for the troops to arrive at the ruins, which were completely frozen by ice and snow.

"I didn't expect the damage here to be so serious." Li Feng walked to Luo Yuan and sighed.

"After all, we are close to the crater. It will be night soon, so let's make a quick decision!" Luo Yuan looked at the time and said, although it is difficult to distinguish between day and night, but once it is night, the temperature will obviously be colder.

It was as if this place had been covered by ice and it was difficult to find a crack in the ground. Even more people were brought this time. Under Luo Yuan's order, tens of thousands of military police dispersed to search, and news soon came.

Luo Yuan immediately rushed to the breach. It was a large hole with a diameter of five or six meters and an inclination of 40 degrees. The nearby ice and snow had been shoveled away by humans.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, you can clearly feel a "hot air" coming from the bottom of the cave. Of course, it is called hot air, but it is only compared to the extreme cold outside. In fact, the temperature of this "hot air" is still below minus 2 degrees Celsius. Thirty degrees.

There was not only one cave entrance, but soon more and more cave entrances were discovered, a total of eighteen. These holes were undoubtedly newly dug vents in Tuanjie City.

Li Feng sent a team to enter the cave entrance to investigate, and found that the cave entrance led directly to the residential area. There were no guards around at all, and the defense inside was quite lax.

But think about it, now that the ground is freezing, it is difficult for even mutated creatures to survive. It is no longer a threat at all. In addition, the temperature at the vents is even lower. If you are guarding nearby, this kind of cold is not something ordinary people can do. bearable.

Luo Yuan no longer hesitated and immediately sent the large troops into the underground city.

"Unite the citizens of Hope City, we are the rescue force of Hope City... We are currently under martial law. Please stay at home and do not go out... Hope City has restored power and re-established order. You will be moved to Hope City one after another in the future. You will have enough food and no longer bear the cold..." A large number of loudspeakers repeatedly announced on the streets.

The people underground found countless armed unfamiliar military policemen walking into the streets and taking over the order. Everyone looked shocked and quickly closed the door. During this period, no resistance was encountered as imagined. The Tuanjie City military police who originally maintained order were listening. After reading the content of the propaganda, he no longer had any fighting spirit. After being warned by the Hope City military police, he was disarmed and controlled.

On the streets of Tuanjie City where Luo Yuan was walking, torches were burning on the walls on both sides of the street, emitting a strong smoky smell. It felt like being at a fire scene. This smoke came not only from the torches, but also from every person. Every household.

In the absence of warm clothing, burning firewood for warmth has obviously become the only option.

Some brave residents opened the door cracks and secretly observed the situation outside with a pair of smoke-red eyes.

Each of these people's clothes were messy and bloated. They had basically worn everything they could wear. Many of them were even wrapped in thin quilts and tied tightly with ropes, but they were still shivering from the cold.

When Luo Yuan and Li Feng walked directly to the Tuanjie Municipal Government, a group of people were already waiting at the door to greet them.

The leader, a tall middle-aged man, secretly looked at the two of them.

He is the mayor of Tuanjie City, Ma Lin. He has met Li Feng several times before, and he can be said to be familiar with him. As the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee and Director of the Public Security Bureau of Hope City, he can be said to be a top leader. Now that he has seen him go to Behind him was a strange young man with a careless look on his face, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

"Welcome the two leaders to Tuanjie City. We have been waiting for you for a long time. Director Li, why don't you introduce this leader?"

"Hello, Mayor Ma, Mayor Xie has died in the disaster. This is the current mayor of Hope City, Mayor Luo Yuanluo!" Li Feng introduced with a smile.

"It turns out to be Mayor Luo, hello, hello!" Ma Zhiqiang's expression changed slightly, and he felt a chill in his heart. He had heard of Luo Yuan's name, and was well aware of his terrifying power. He did not dare to neglect him at all, and quickly stretched out his hands to shake his hand. Live in Luoyuan.

"Mayor Ma, my time is limited, so I won't say any polite words. I came here just for one thing. After this disaster, Tuanjie City is no longer suitable for living. The people here must move to Hope City. I also hope Ma Mayor, cooperate!" Luo Yuan shook hands and said.

The city leaders who greeted them couldn't help but look at each other. They originally thought that the arrival of the city's military and police forces was just to show off their force and confirm the relationship of power succession, or to provide some material support. They did not expect that it was exactly as the military and police advertised on the street. , preparing to migrate the population.

Regarding this result, some people had complicated expressions, but they were vaguely relieved. The situation in Tuanjie City was already quite bad. The long period of darkness and cold, as well as the unresolved dilemma, had left the entire city in trouble internally and externally, and the order was shaky. If it were delayed for a few more days, I'm afraid there would be turmoil.

"I wonder how many people will be migrating in the first batch?" Marin hesitated for a moment and then chose to obey. Not to mention uniting the city's internal and external difficulties, just hope that the city will bring a large number of military police, even if you want to refuse, there is no way to refuse.

"Two hundred thousand, maybe."

"Two hundred thousand?" Marin couldn't keep calm anymore and said with a shocked expression, and the people around him suddenly became noisy.

"I would like to ask, how many trucks did Hope City bring this time?" Marin asked quickly. Tuanjie City is not short from Hope City, at least forty or fifty kilometers away.

Before the disaster, this distance was naturally not considered long. It would only take seven or eight hours to walk normally. However, now it is freezing cold and the people in Tuanjie City lack clothing to keep out the cold. If you just walk, don't Let's say seven or eight hours. Even if you walk for two hours, you will probably be frozen into popsicles.

Even with Li Feng's temperament, he couldn't help showing off at this time: "Mayor Ma, you don't have to worry about this. Of course we don't have so many cars. Even before the disaster, Hope City didn't have cars to transport 200,000 people at a time. Quantity, but we have a spaceship, docked near Tuanjie City.”

"Spaceship?" Marin confirmed as he felt that he was hallucinating.

"Spaceship, you heard me right, it's a spaceship, an alien spacecraft." Li Feng couldn't help but smile and said: "Without further delay, please ask Mayor Ma to arrange the relocation immediately."

At their level, they had no idea about the existence of the Bosing people. It was not until Li Feng explained repeatedly and united the city leaders that they reluctantly believed this fact.

An hour later, the migration finally began.

A long queue stretching for several kilometers left Tuanjie City and headed towards the wilderness.

Due to the extremely harsh living conditions in Tuanjie City, when the organization was migrating, after the people got the news, the order was completely out of control. Countless people rushed into the migrating team crazily, and hundreds of people were trampled to death.

It wasn't until the military police who were brought in had to shoot to intimidate them that they managed to control the order.

As a result, the number of people migrating this time far exceeded Luo Yuan's expectations at the time. The original plan of 200,000 ended up with the total number exceeding 400,000. When a large number of people left, the entire Tuanjie City became empty.

Fortunately, this rescue spacecraft is large enough. The warehouse area alone covers an area of 300,000 square meters. Even if the entire Tuanjie City has a population of millions, it can be moved away at once by just squeezing it.

After a day of digestion, on the third day, the spaceship landed in Dawn City again, migrating 300,000 people again.

On the fourth day, the spaceship landed in Shengli City, migrating 350,000 people.

On the fifth day, as productivity began to explode, the number of various cold-proof items increased sharply, and the number of people migrating increased, reaching 400,000 again. With the influx of a large number of people into Hope City, the originally empty Hope City has become popular again, and the five-story residential area has become crowded.

Fortunately, there are a total of fifteen floors of underground space in Hope City, and only twelve floors are currently being used. Three floors are still idle. In addition to one of the floors being opened up as a new agricultural area, there are two floors that can be expanded.

Spaceships travel to and from various places, bringing not only the population, but also a large amount of materials and various mechanical equipment. There are sufficient reserves of construction wood in the warehouse, coupled with abundant labor and construction machinery that is gradually repaired and re-produced. The number of buildings constructed every day is equal to the growth rate of the population.

After the seventh day, the migration work was basically over.

The remaining population of mankind is smaller than expected, only about five million. Now they have all gathered in Hope City. During this period, Luo Yuan went to the mother ship in space to bring the migrated scientific researchers and technical experts. Send it to the mother ship and inspect the situation there.

What makes Luo Yuan happy is that there has been breakthrough progress there. Some factories have been able to restart and carry out small-scale trial production. I believe that with the 40,000 newly added researchers brought in this time, the transformation Work will be greatly accelerated.
