To my frozen hometown

Chapter 47 How many times have I said it, don't provoke lonely women and children

"Sorry, you can't go in."

In front of the No. [-] greenhouse, a guard stopped Yanagihara and Al.

This is the junction of the city ruins and the greenhouse gate, and there are damaged roads and building debris on both sides. Only the walls of the greenhouse stand tall, clearly separating the warmth from the cold.

"Why?" Liu Yuan looked at the soldier in front of him in puzzlement, frowned and stopped the snowmobile, which was still muffled.

"Recently, the resources in the greenhouse are tight, so we have stopped accepting outsiders."

The soldier said indifferently, probably seeing that Liu Yuan and the other two didn't intend to force their way in, so he put down the hand that blocked them.

"Unless you can provide the pass of the greenhouse, I can't let you in. Of course, if you can provide the residence permit of other greenhouses, I can also apply for a temporary entry and exit document for you."

What the soldier meant was very simple, that is, Greenhouse No. [-] no longer accepts refugees and wanderers from the ice field who have no fixed residence.

Even visiting residents of other conservatories stay here only temporarily.

"Can't you be more flexible?" Liu Yuan thought for a while, took out a small piece of rare ore from his arms, and handed it to the soldier without leaving a trace.

"You know, the weather outside is not very good recently, and we have no time and resources to rush to the next greenhouse."

This piece of ore is one of De Rosso's entrusting rewards. There are two pieces in total, each weighing about [-] grams.

To be honest, Liu Yuan didn't want to use this thing up here.

But considering the worsening weather at present, it is obviously not suitable for Al to stay outside the greenhouse.

So Liu Yuan could only take it out, wanting to try the possibility of using money to open the way.

However, the soldier just glanced at the ore, then shook his head, and said more indifferently.

"As you know, the weather outside is not very good recently, so the greenhouse has suspended external resource extraction operations. Now the internal resources of the greenhouse are limited, and every extra homeless person may prevent a local resident from receiving emergency supplies. I need to be responsible to the residents of this greenhouse, because my relatives and friends also live here. I hope you can understand."

"That's it." Liu Yuan frowned even tighter, and silently took back the ore.

She pondered for a while, then looked at the soldier again and asked.

"So, when will outsiders be accepted here again?"

In any case, she and Al need to replenish resources here, otherwise it will be difficult for them to reach the next greenhouse.

"The meteorological observatory said that there will be a big snowstorm nearby." Finally, the soldier's expression fluctuated a little, as if he was guilty and powerless.

"After the snowstorm is over, the greenhouse will mine a new batch of resources. At that time, we will start accepting outsiders again."

"Before then." The soldier said, raised his head, and lifted his chin towards the ruins behind Liu Yuan.

"You can only live in the ruins like other wanderers."

At this time, Liu Yuan finally knew what those sights she had felt all the way.

Probably some homeless people living in the ruins are peeping at the supplies in their cars.

It has to be said that this measure of the fifth greenhouse is a bit cold-blooded, because without the shelter of the greenhouse, it would be very difficult for ordinary people to survive the snowstorm.

Coupled with the lack of sufficient resources, this blizzard will inevitably freeze to death many refugees and homeless people.

And the greenhouse will only accept the batch that survived.

But from another point of view, this move is very wise.Because this not only reduces the pressure on the greenhouse, but also ensures the safety and stability of the internal residents.

Realistically speaking, they just chose the necessary sacrifices.

This is understandable, after all, a snowstorm will come at any time, and their current situation cannot save everyone at all.

"I see." Liuyuan nodded, restarted the snowmobile, and prepared to take Al out of the greenhouse gate.

But just before they left, the soldier by the door suddenly said.

"Survive as much as possible, then we will definitely accept everyone."

"..."

"En." Liu Yuan was silent for a while, and responded flatly, without showing too much emotion, just said something slowly.

"Thanks for that."

She will wait here with Al, because neither oxygen nor car oil is enough to go to the next greenhouse.

And instead of encountering a blizzard on the ice field, it is better to hide in the ruins.

At least, there are houses here that can be used to shelter from the wind and snow, aren't there?

The soldier watched the two of them drifting away in the car, and sighed weakly.

He knew that he might have pushed the two of them to death again.

among the ruins.

Liuyuan took Al to drive on the streets of the city. For the next period of time, she planned to find a place to stay before nightfall.

It is best if you can find an underground environment with relatively good air circulation. If not, you can just find a room that is not so dilapidated.

After carefully inspecting the ruins of the city, Liu Yuan found that there were quite a few "residents" who lived here temporarily.

There are some signs of human activity almost everywhere, at least near the greenhouse.

If there is no accident, there should be at least hundreds of people living in the ruins right now, maybe even thousands of people.

How could there be so many homeless people and refugees? Could it be that the nearby greenhouses have dried up?

Liu Yuan frowned, but didn't think carefully.

Because at this time, the road in front of her and Al was blocked by a pile of roadblocks.

"If I were you, I'd keep quiet and get out of the car with my head in my hands."

Several men in ragged clothes came out from the corner of the street and surrounded the snowmobile of the two of them.

The leading man held an old rifle and said so with heavy eyes.

"Sorry, you were robbed."

"Honestly speaking." Liu Yuan sat on the driver's seat, looked at the few people surrounding him, lowered his eyes and let go of his hands holding the handlebars.

"This kind of plot is really old-fashioned."

"Trust me, we don't want anyone to get hurt." The man with the rifle aimed at Liu Yuan.

"Cooperate with us and hand over half of your supplies, and we will let you go, and we will never break our promise."
