Chapter 4: Rotten Order

Three days later, the car slowly approached a large city, where many places were still exposed to sunlight. Deguna breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Jean was right.

However, a large number of people with weapons could be seen far away at the entrance of the city. Some cars passing by from other roads were stopped. Jean and the others did not go directly.

Because they don’t know the situation, it would be very dangerous if supplies and firearms were confiscated in the past. The group of people who blocked them before and robbed them were just ordinary people, but these people in front of them were different. They wore military uniforms from different countries and looked like They have been here for a long time, and all of them have white ribbons tied on their arms. They look like they belong to some kind of gang.

Jean and the others first parked the car on the back of a mountain, intending to find out the situation first before going there.

At this time, Jean and the others saw a car slowly coming out of the city. It was transporting something. Jean and Deguna walked to the side of the road. Jean waved when the car came over.

The driver was a bearded driver. He stopped the car slowly and looked at Gene and the others warily. There was no white cloth wrapped around his arms.

"Sir, who is running this city?"

The man looked at the group of them, always holding something in one hand. Deguna knew it was a gun, she said gently.

"We just got here, can you tell us a little bit about the situation?"

As she spoke, Deguna handed over a piece of chocolate. The man took it happily after seeing it, and then sighed and said.

"There are three gangs in this place, the Endeavors, the Wolfpack and the Conservation Corps."

Jean said thank you. The one wrapped in white cloth was the protection group. Many of them were composed of soldiers from various countries. They were relatively normal. They managed the west side of the city, but those who entered the city You need to pay them some supplies to enter.

The other two gangs, the Wolf Pack and the Endeavor Group, are composed of violent elements who have rushed all the way. The three parties are now maintaining a balance in the city and have begun to take over and manage all the operations of the city. There are many people in the city, all of whom are Bartering.

Three of the gangs own some farmland east of the city, and people within the gang's management can work on the farmland in exchange for a certain amount of food. This situation has lasted for less than a month.

This situation sounds good, but the driver looks a little helpless.

"Is something wrong?"

Gene asked and the driver sighed.

"Hundreds of disputes occur every day in the city, and people always die. Most of the time, the people from the three gangs only symbolically stop them. Most of the time, they allow the fights to happen, or even directly participate in the fights. How can this be called What management? It’s just having fun in the city. Do you know what I’m talking about?”

Then Gene and the others returned to the car and told the others about the situation.

"Are we going to stay for a while?"

Li Chu asked, and everyone's expressions were a little confused, but it would be very dangerous to stay in this kind of city. Jean looked into the distance, thought for a moment and then said.

"We'd better leave early."

"Or we should go in first and see what's going on."

Witte said, and finally everyone started to hide their weapons under some supplies and drove towards the city. Sure enough, as soon as they reached the door, many people laughed because their modified car was very eye-catching.

"Miss, where did you find such an ugly car?"

A man with a gun and a white cloth came over and asked, staring directly at Deguna's chest. Several other people also gathered around, and some people whistled and said some teasing words. , Jean stared at these people with a stern expression, holding a gun in his hand and a grenade under his feet.

"Can we go into the city?"

"Let's see what you have first."

Deguna said with a smile.

"Didn't you say that if you pay some supplies, you can enter the city?"

At this time, a person who seemed to be the leader came over and said with a smile.

"Miss, if you are willing to accompany us, it will be free. Otherwise, you will have to pay a lot. After all, this place is overcrowded now."

Deguna sneered.

"How much supplies are needed?"

Several men with guns gathered around. At this time, one of the soldiers kept looking at Deguna in confusion. After a long time, he ran here and whispered to the leader for a while. The man looked at it in surprise. Deguna.

Seeing that Deguna seemed to be recognized, Witte immediately got out of the car and said.

"You have suffered from a serious skin disease. If it is not treated, you will die."

For a while, many soldiers looked at Werther in surprise.

"I'm a doctor. I can help you with treatment. We just want to enter the city for a while and then leave. We won't stay too long."

The leading man thought for a moment and agreed. There was indeed no doctor here. The doctors were dragged over by guys from the other two camps using threats and temptations.

Soon they entered the city. The entrance to the city was full of people from the Protection Association wrapped in white ribbons. Most of them were young people. Many women were talking and laughing with them. Soon they were taken to In a square, a large amount of supplies were placed in the square. Someone was counting them, and Witte and the others were taken there.

Witt, Ellie and Tang Rao can all be regarded as medical personnel, especially Witt and Tang Rao are very good doctors.

There is a lobby in the yard, and many people are sitting inside. They are drinking and look drunk. Ellie is always holding Gene's arm. There are always malicious eyes around, and these eyes are focused on the four women.

Soon the person who brought them here went in to explain the situation. Several men looked very happy. One of them came over drunk and looked at Ellie.

"Chief Sanggu, the three of them claim to be doctors."

The man named Sanggu sobered up a little, and several other cadres also came.

Soon Ellie and the others were taken to a room full of patients in pain.

"If you find a way to treat them, we can guarantee your safety."

Many people looked very sick. Some were injured. The wounds had already festered and only the simplest treatment was carried out. Next door was a room where a large amount of medical supplies were stored.

Gene always felt that this place was not a place to stay for a long time, but there was no way now. Soon Tang Rao and his team put on clean protective clothing and entered the room. According to the severity of the diagnosis, a woman with severe ascites needed surgery immediately, otherwise she would be finished.

Fortunately, the medical equipment here is relatively complete, but if an infection occurs during the operation, it will be troublesome. Tang Rao immediately asked their people to find a way to build a temporary simple operating room according to her method.

After a room was cleared, Ellie prepared some disinfectants and began to disinfect the room without dead ends. The man named Sanggu now completely believed that they were doctors.

"Big tall man, where are you from?"

Sanggu asked Gene directly.

"From the seaside."

Gene just answered one sentence. Sanggu felt that these people were not simple, and they were most likely technical talents, because according to his men, they drove a spliced ​​car to come here, and judging from their breath, they were not like ordinary people.

Soon the operating table was fully built, with Tang Rao performing the operation, Ellie assisting, and Witt went to help others diagnose.

Witt was originally a surgeon and became a doctor of medicine at a very young age, but he eventually turned to virology and genetic biology.

The patients here are all in serious condition. Although there are many drugs, only some people who know a little medical knowledge can only take medicine according to the efficacy of the drugs, but there is no specific diagnosis. Many people have only a vague understanding, and some even die from taking the wrong medicine.

Witt asked someone to bring a B-ultrasound machine over and began to see some patients. Then he went to the room where medical supplies were stored to find medicines and prepare to treat some mild patients. For some people with purulent and inflamed wounds, he directly took a scalpel to perform micro-cutting surgery.

Soon the woman's operation was over. The operation was very successful. At present, all indicators are normal. Another patient was sent in immediately.

Sang Gu was relieved and ordered people to take out the good meat to entertain them.

"Gao Ge, what do you do?"

"Me? I can only be regarded as a competent bodyguard."

At this time, the sun was about to set, and Sang Gu immediately ordered people to light candles, but it was impossible to perform surgery in such weak light.

"Don't you have electricity here?"

Sanggu sighed.

"We have a thermal power plant here, but unfortunately the equipment was damaged in the conflict and broke down. Many people who originally worked at the power plant said it couldn't be repaired."

"When this operation is over, we can eat something and you can take us to see it."

Li Chu looked at Gu Yi angrily, and Rose and Deguna on the side were also a little angry, because doing so was tantamount to telling these guys who lacked professional talents that they were capable, and Sanggu would not let them leave.

The operation was over, and Sanggu really brought the meat and wine as agreed. The eight people hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and they couldn't help but gobble it up. During this period, Deguna and Gene discussed that they could only take one step at a time now.

Near 7 o'clock

Although the sky was still bright, the light was a little weak. Sanggu looked very happy, because he knew very well that it was definitely not easy for these eight people to come here. He knew something after all. After seeing the car they put together, he was more certain that they put it together by themselves. He asked a subordinate who specialized in vehicles. Ordinary people, even some technical workers in the car manufacturing plant, did not have the ability to put together a car.

The subordinate checked the car and found that many parts were manually polished and modified.

After arriving at the power plant, he saw that several units of the power plant had been blown out with big holes. Gene sighed.

"Do you have cigarettes?"

Sanggu immediately ordered his subordinates to bring cigarettes. Gene jumped lightly to the side of the power generation unit and said after a careful look.

"If there are some materials we mentioned, it can be repaired in a few days."

Sanggu was overjoyed, and many of the original employees of the power plant also said that it was incredible, because any problems in the power plant in the past must notify professional power engineers to come and repair.

"Were you an electrical engineer?"

Sang Gu handed a pack of cigarettes to Gene with a smile.

Gene lit a cigarette and said with a smile.

"I am a scientist in mechanics."

Sanggu looked at Gene in shock, and then after checking many generators, Gu Yi began to give them a list. The items on the list were also noted in brackets, including the tools needed. Sanggu's men listened carefully, because life without electricity was too difficult.

Most people could only sleep together at night, otherwise they would easily freeze to death. The temperature at night was too low.

But it was late today, and they couldn't repair it now. Sanggu immediately ordered his men to collect materials that night, and then provided Gene and his men with a small building with a single door and a single house. There were many beddings and rooms in it, and it was cleaned very cleanly.

There was light only in the east of the city, and the rest of the place was dark, because other areas needed power from the thermal power plant in the west. The power plant was destroyed three months ago because of a violent conflict here.

Sanggu was originally a wealthy and powerful local person of prestige. He finally put down the riots, but a large number of people followed and began to make the city extremely chaotic. Now as long as there is electricity, Sanggu can suppress the other two forces step by step. Although there is also a small power plant in the east, it relies on solar energy. Unfortunately, the power generation is very weak now.

There are several coal mines nearby, so there is no need to worry about insufficient coal.

"Watch them carefully for me. No matter where they go, keep an eye on them and don't let them run away."

Sanggu immediately ordered his men.

11 o'clock in the evening

"Who will keep watch?"

Deguna asked again, and finally Li Chu stood up and said he would keep watch. Deguna assigned the rooms in order of strength and weakness, and told everyone that if anything happened, they should act according to her.

Li Chu was on the second floor, and he needed to keep watch until 4 o'clock in the morning before he could change with others.

There was almost no noise all night. In the morning, Sanggu had someone deliver hot steamed cakes. After the eight people ate, Ellie, Tang Rao and Witt continued to treat their injuries, while the other five went to the thermal power plant.

The materials were still good. After Gu Yi and Gene's detailed inspection and evaluation, several generators needed to be dismantled directly, because it was impossible to repair them under the current conditions, because they did not have professional machines for making molds, and manual polishing was too time-consuming.

Sanggu listened to Gene and his men in everything, and told his men to do what they said. Many people came to the power plant. Gu Yi and many people from the power plant explained how to dismantle it according to the steps, what to pay attention to, etc.

Then in the morning, the dismantled generators were taken out by crane. Now the situation is much simpler. Gene and Deguna began to get the thick cables taken from some equipment stores and started to connect them.

The structure of this old thermal power plant is not complicated, and it is not difficult to repair it. Gu Yi is measuring various aspects with an electric meter, while Rose starts to get some raw materials to an open space in the power plant and directs some people to carry out chemical reaction reduction.

Sang Gu was a little surprised and asked.

"Beauty, are you all scientists?"

Rose didn't think much about it. Anyway, she could only take one step at a time, so he nodded.

"Indeed, we are all scientists."

Sang Gu immediately said that he would definitely treat them with courtesy. Many people at the scene saw hope, because several people knew the structure of the power plant like the back of their hands, and they arranged some work very skillfully.

In just one day, a test generator set of the power plant was completed, and the thermal furnace was also repaired. As the coal was burned, the power was soon restored. Some lights in the power plant used for testing lit up, and many people cheered, but the voltage was very unstable.

"We have to continue testing tomorrow to find out the details. We have to stabilize the voltage, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain."

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the eight people returned to the room. It was another happy day of eating meat and drinking. Sanggu also asked people to bring them a lot of dairy products.

"This kind of life is not bad. We might as well stay here."

As Li Chu said, Deguna shook her head with a serious expression, and then smiled deliberately.

"Okay, it's not bad to stay here."

Everyone's face changed. They realized that there should be eavesdropping equipment. Sure enough, Li Chu found the specific location of the eavesdropping equipment with a simple signal band.

The three people checked the entire room. There were more than ten monitoring devices in total, and some were even installed very roughly.

There was only one room without them. The eight people gathered in the room and discussed in a low voice.

"We still have to find a way to leave, otherwise once the other two forces know, we will become bargaining chips for both parties to trade, and I'm afraid we will be controlled by these guys for the rest of our lives."

When it comes to control, Li Chu got a little angry, and Deguna looked at Li Chu and said.

"Just use your talents, right!"

Li Chu nodded.

Early the next morning, Sang Gu happily drove Li Chu to the signal tower within their control, because Li Chu said he had a way to restore the network, which was great for Sang Gu and everyone here, and Li Chu also said yesterday that he would make a good power supply program.

Sang Gu didn't expect that they only had eight people, but they had all kinds of talents, which shocked Sang Gu.

Although some technicians were called in, the system was already in chaos due to power failure, and the system could not be updated. Although there were some programmers, there was nothing they could do.

Looking at the signal station in front of him, Li Chu walked in with his computer, and Sang Gu followed in with several programmers.
