The signal received by the radio made Shen Cong's eyes flicker - the Eastern Theater Command had arrived.
Stop the car and let the DJI Phantom 8 fly into the sky again, facing the afterglow that is about to set, and take pictures of the situation ahead. Then he discovered that there was an area of human activity about five kilometers ahead.
It is a very small camp. Judging from the map, it should be Sanhe Town.
"It seems to be a very small camp. It may be the outpost of the Eastern War Zone in Sanhe Town. I can leave Zhao Zilong and the others in Sanhe Town." Shen Cong was wary of the Eastern War Zone and did not dare to go deep into it easily in case he was caught. If strict military management is implemented, the crisis will be too great.
It's like putting your life in the hands of others.
After thinking for a while, Shen Cong picked up the walkie-talkie: "The Eastern Theater Command has arrived. I accept that I have received the radio station from the theater. Further ahead is the military defense area of the Eastern Theater Command."
"Are we here? Great!" Zhao Zilong rarely showed an excited tone, "Thank you very much, Colonel Chen, for your help, otherwise I would not have imagined this journey."
"No need to thank me, it's just a matter of clearing things up." Shen Cong said indifferently, "There is a small camp about five kilometers ahead. There are signs of human activity in Sanhe Town. I will send you to Sanhe Town to make sure After this camp was established as an outpost in the Eastern War Zone, we left it alone.”
"Is Colonel Chen really not going to the eastern theater with us?"
"Let's talk about it. Get ready to leave. It's getting dark."
Slowly start Donkey Kong and drive forward along the cleared highway. On the road, Shen Cong saw many erected poles. On the poles, wooden signs read "Eastern Theater Military Defense Area", "Huai'an City Survivor Settlement Welcomes You", "Unite... Hand in Hand...", "Three kilometers ahead." , Sanhe Town Free Trade Zone” words.
"Sanhe Town Free Trade Zone?" Shen Cong looked at the words on the wooden sign and guessed what the Sanhe Town Free Trade Zone would be like.
It doesn't sound like a place directly under the jurisdiction of the military in a war zone. Instead, it sounds like a place left for foreign survivors to do transactions. Otherwise, there should not be a "free trade" place in a place under military management.
"If it's really a free place, I can rest here occasionally."
Five kilometers away, driving at high speed, we arrived in a few minutes.
The entire area around Hongze Lake is basically a plain with an unobstructed view. Sanhe Town Free Trade Zone is like a cross-shaped area lined with stone houses.
The place is small, with a few oil lamps lit at the intersection.
As if awakened by the headlights of Donkey Kong, the free trade zone that had fallen into silence suddenly started to move. Several clusters of torches were lit. A group of people walked out of the stone house near the intersection and came to the road, each holding a Weapons such as swords, guns and sticks.
You can see that the intersection is blocked by stone pillars.
Shen Cong picked up the walkie-talkie: "Zhao Zilong, you can go down and negotiate with the people in the Sanhe Town Free Trade Zone." He had no intention of going down now.
The military jeep passed the King Kong and drove to the stone pier. Old Wei immediately shouted: "Hey, compatriots, don't you need such a warm welcome?"
"I have never seen who you are." Among the crowd of torches, a middle-aged man in his thirties walked out. He was a golden man, a natural mutant, and the canine teeth in his mouth were shining silver.
Old Wei seemed heartless, but in fact he was not lacking in sophistication: "Survivors, you have come all the way to the eastern war zone to find an organization. Brothers, what is your organization? I just received a broadcast from the war zone, and I don't know where this place is. There is also a Sanhe Town Free Trade Zone.”
"Where are you from?"
"Mingguang City, I originally wanted to go to Nanjing, but we encountered a group of big rats. Later, our car radio received a signal from the eastern war zone and knew that the war zone had organized a settlement of survivors here." Old Wei did not say that they were a death-eating organization. After all, the Death Eaters already had a deep hatred for the Eastern War Zone.
"Mingguang City? Mingguang City in Anhui Province?"
"right."
"What happened to your car?"
"Modified, I am an Iron Man, and the car behind is also an Iron Man. We have a mission and want to report to the Eastern Theater Command." Old Wei made up a story.
Zhao Zilong also came over and said: "We are not bad people. We came all the way here just hoping to meet the senior officials in the war zone and help us rebuild our homes or take over the rest of us."
"That's right." The leading Jin man relaxed a little, and then pointed to the King Kong, "The car is so big, how many people are in it, why don't you get down, you must not do anything wrong, Baoying County is not far away from us, It is the headquarters of the 12th Group Army in the theater."
Zhao Zilong replied: "That car was specially modified. There was only one person in it. He was a soldier with a rather unique personality. He escorted us here. He has adapted to life in the wild and does not want to join a military-managed war zone. Wait. I still want to leave."
The leading golden man nodded: "Lone Ranger, I understand... Just say it clearly. I believe we are all united in the face of disaster. Let me introduce myself first. I am Liu Jin, the administrator of the Sanhe Town Free Trade Zone. , responsible for presiding over the daily affairs of the Sanhe Town Free Trade Zone, what about you?"
After getting to know each other, Zhao Zilong did not forget to introduce Shen Cong: "The guy in the car is Colonel Chen Kun. He doesn't like to socialize."
"Oh, he's still a colonel." Liu Jin didn't see clearly how huge the King Kong was under the cover of night, and it was also far away. He just felt that it was a bit too big for a car to block the road.
"Yes, I wonder if this place can be connected to the Eastern Theater Command?"
"It's a little difficult to contact the eastern theater. In this situation, communications are paralyzed. The broadcast you heard earlier was still a signal from us. The effective distance is only five kilometers." Liu Jin did not ask anyone to move the stone block, but He said, "But you can continue driving. Twenty kilometers ahead is the Hongze District camp. You can rest there and go to Huai'an City early tomorrow morning."
"Can I rest here?"
"Sorry, there are no hotels here. This is a trade area and no outsiders are allowed."
"Then Manager Liu, can you tell us about the situation here? We have just arrived and don't know anything."
"Okay." Liu Jin briefly introduced the situation.
On the Vajra not far away, Shen Cong had very good hearing and heard everything in his ears.
The system in the Eastern Theater Command should be said to be very complete. Military control is still implemented and the theater district is in charge of military affairs. In terms of military affairs, the 1st Group Army is stationed at the forward post in Siyang County, the 12th Group Army is stationed at the defensive post in Baoying County, and the 31st Group Army is stationed at the forward post in Xinyi City, each defending one side.
In terms of settlements, Huai'an City is the headquarters of the war zone and the largest settlement of survivors. In addition, settlement areas have been established in Yancheng City, Jianhu County, and Donghai County.
These places are not far from the radiation center and are livable.
The area currently under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Theater Command has three radiation center zones, which are oases. (To be continued.)
