34 Chapter 33 : It's...snowing!
November 8, 2013
It has been two months since the Cordyceps fungus broke out.
At this time, the streets of Dallas have long been extremely deserted. Now it is rare to see one or two people on the streets. With the month-long migration of residents, there are now less than 100,000 residents left in the city. All of them have to wait until the first or third batch can be evacuated.
"Attention, all residents going to Atlanta are asked to bring their belongings, go to the public transportation terminal to gather, and bring your ID card. We will identify your identity and information."
In the large bus terminal on the edge of the city of Dallas, countless large buses are parked in the spacious open space, with heavily armed soldiers standing outside. Not far away, an endless sea of people can be seen heading towards here.
In the outer area of the main station, there were neatly arranged military trucks, and the troops escorting the civilians were also gathered there. They strutted and quickly formed square formations, listening to the instructions of the commander in front of them.
Brian held Sarah's hand and walked among the crowd. The two of them carried bulging backpacks behind them and a travel bag in their hands. As the crowd slowly entered this military-designated gathering point,
The first batch of people who went to the quarantine area in Atlanta was not large—only less than a thousand people. Under the arrangement of more than a dozen soldiers, these thousands of people gradually lined up in order, and then each column There was a soldier in front of the team who checked their identities in order.
Brian and Sarah were standing at the front of the same formation, so it didn't take long for the inspection soldiers to stand next to them.
The soldier stood next to Brian, put down the list in his hand, looked around, and asked, "Child, is there an adult with you?"
"No." Brian shook his head and told the other party that there was no adult around him at the same time. Then he pointed at Sarah behind him and said, "We are together."
"Well, I understand."
Hearing these words, a trace of pity flashed in the soldier's eyes, but he did not show much surprise. Although it was rare for children to be together without adults around them, he had seen it for more than a month. Quite a few, so he said routinely, "Then, please show your ID card!"
Sensing the pity in the soldier's eyes, Brian curled his lips slightly. He didn't like the way the other party looked at him, so he took out the two identity cards from his pocket and handed them over.
After confirming the information and photos on the ID card, the soldier looked up to confirm their appearance, nodded, and handed it back to Brian. He then searched the two of them and found their pistols but he didn't care.
Because, according to regulations, each of the pair can carry a pistol for self-protection. If there is more than one, they need to turn it in immediately. If they are found by the soldiers, they will be severely punished.
Seeing nothing unusual, the soldier immediately turned his gaze down to their backpacks and said, "I still need to check your backpacks."
"OK, all right."
Putting all three backpacks on the ground, Brian squatted down and opened only a small gap, indicating to the soldiers that they could check. He just saw the person in front of him doing this, so he followed suit. He guessed that he was afraid. Others saw what was inside.
The soldier kneeled, opened the gap, and took a look inside. He was slightly surprised to see that it was full of food. He didn't expect that these two little guys were quite rich.
Then he reached in, dug out a few times, and found that there was nothing else. He took it out again, reached into another backpack again, found nothing unusual, and finally focused on the travel bag.
Seeing the soldier looking at the travel bag, Brian's pupils narrowed, and he began to feel nervous.
Slowly opening the gap, the soldier was about to reach down but was stunned for a moment because he found that it was filled with "that thing" for women, which made him raise his head and look at Sarah beside him.
Sensing the gaze of the other party and looking at the opened travel bag, Sarah felt a little embarrassed and turned her head to the side so as not to meet the soldier's eyes.
Although the soldier felt a little embarrassed, he still reached in and rummaged around, but he only rummaged through it twice. When he saw that there was still the same thing underneath, he quickly took his hand out, helped zip up the zipper, stood up, and walked towards the next person. Maybe he thought in his heart that the two children couldn't have other guns.
Seeing the soldiers questioning the people behind him, Brian breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly squatted down and packed up the backpack on the ground and put it back on himself, and Sarah picked up the travel bag and waited quietly, secretly thinking it was a fluke.
Their shotgun was placed under the travel bag. This was a very risky move. If they had been caught by this soldier just now, the outcome would have been miserable.
He would not give such a powerful self-protection weapon to others easily. In addition, the shotgun was not large and was easy to hide when disassembled. It also had a cover of female products, so he still decided to take the plunge and give it a try.
Then Brian turned around and gave Sarah a vague thumbs up, indicating that the other party's performance just now was very beautiful.
"Sir, I don't know why this gun is here. I didn't hide it on purpose. Someone must have framed me!"
Just when Brian was secretly thankful for escaping a disaster, an anxious and pleading voice not far away attracted his and Sarah's attention.
Turning his head to look, he saw a man with stubble on his face. The backpack on the ground was opened. The soldier next to him held a revolver in his hand. He had found it from inside.
After hearing the man's explanation, the soldier laughed noncommittally, greeted his companions in the distance, and said to the man, "You'd better explain this matter to others!"
Seeing that the other party kept explaining, the man was so anxious that his head was sweating. Then he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly looked at the fat man next to him with a big belly, who was gloating about his misfortune, and said angrily, "Nelson, just now you were the one hanging around my backpack; did you put this gun?"
"I...I didn't!" The fat man named Nelson didn't expect that the man would suddenly point the finger at him. His expression tightened for a moment, and he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Sir, don't listen to his nonsense; I have nothing to do with him."
"Damn guy, try saying something again!" When the man heard Fat Man say that he wasn't familiar with him, his angry expression turned ferocious. He clenched his fists fiercely and rushed forward to beat him!
"What are you doing!"
Just when the situation was about to turn ugly and turn into a fight, a black officer wearing a captain's uniform suddenly came over from a distance and shouted sharply.
The appearance of the whole voice instantly calmed the three people present, and they all turned their attention to the officer.
"Sir!" Seeing the appearance of the black officer, the soldier quickly put away his nonchalant smile, stood at attention, and performed a standard military salute.
The black officer stood on the ground, his sharp eyes like a sharp knife, glancing back and forth between the man and the fat man, and asked calmly, "Soldier, report the situation."
Then the soldiers walked up to the black commander and explained what had just happened in detail.
After hearing what happened, the black officer nodded, pointed at Fatty, looked at the man, and said, "You mean, this is the man who put that gun in your backpack?"
"Yes, sir, he must have framed me." Upon hearing the other party's question, the man said it quickly, as if he had seen a savior.
When Fatty heard this, he immediately became anxious and retorted, "Sir, I didn't do it. Don't listen to his nonsense."
"You, you are looking for death!"
"That's enough; all of you shut up!" Seeing that these two people dared to argue in front of him, the black officer frowned, snorted coldly, and looked at the two men, dissatisfied.
After both of them calmed down, he thought for a while and said slowly, "I don't care whose fault this is, and I don't have time to waste on your trivial matters. Both of you will be punished. For the rest of the trip, your daily supplies will be halved."
After saying that, he stopped looking at the two men, told the soldier to continue checking, and then turned around and left.
After receiving such a result, the man did not continue to say anything. Instead, his face showed joy, and his face was full of joy at escaping the disaster. But Nelson, the fat man, had an earth-colored face and a sunken expression on his face.
"Tell me, which one of them is lying?" Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, Sarah felt a little bored and approached Brian, asking curiously.
"I don't know; just think about it yourself."
After hearing Sarah's words, Brian recalled the expressions of the two of them just now and already had the answer in his mind. He still shrugged, saying that he didn't know it either.
Seeing Brian's expression, Sarah, who already knew him very well, immediately knew that he was lying. She puffed up her cheeks and said dissatisfiedly, "Ah! Why are you like this?"
"Ha~~"
Looking at Sarah's cute expression, Brian suddenly felt in a good mood and couldn't help but laugh out loud. However, the sudden cold feeling on his face made him touch his cheek subconsciously, but he found that he didn't touch anything.
He subconsciously looked towards the sky and found that countless dots were slowly falling from the sky, and they disappeared instantly when they landed on the ground.
