Chapter 23 The Establishment of “New America”
Hurry!
I don't know who threw out the red brick, and it hit the glass door in a supermarket heavily, smashing a huge gap in the glass door, making a harsh cracking sound.
The supermarket was pitch black and empty, dozens of people covered in masks stood outside the door. One of the black men walked up and reached into the gap and opened the lock inside.
"Hurry! There is still food over there, go get it!"
"Haha, there's a lot of food!"
“…”
As the glass door was opened, crowds outside the supermarket flocked into the supermarket, holding what they wanted and food.
On the streets outside, similar scenes were also staged in cities across the country. The crowd was plundering in the streets and alleys of the city. If the owner of the store wanted to stop him, he would be pushed to the ground and beat him at will.
Since the news revealed all the truth, the entire American society suddenly fell into panic. People denounced the bureaucratic government's ruthlessness and did not try their best to develop vaccines, but raised guns to massacre their compatriots and strongly demanded the release of the female host who dared to speak the truth.
From that day on, in the next few days, major cities across the country, led by people with hearts, began a new round of parades, demanding that the bureaucracy be abolished and that those who are truly capable will take charge of all this.
Some people who have no food have long begun to take this opportunity to rob supermarkets, food commodities and other places to store food in the city, stock up on food, and ensure that they will not worry about food in the future.
Some people ran towards the guns in the city. These people had a clear mind. As long as they obtained enough guns, what would they not get? As for food? That's not how much they need!
No one cares about gold and banknotes. Under the shadow of doomsday, gold, silver and jewelry that were once loved by everyone, and dollar banknotes have long lost their former charm. Everyone knows that only food and guns are the only guarantee of survival.
But even though the outside was already in chaos, the White House administration did not respond to the matter, but just allowed these angry people to destroy and rob, as if they were deliberately instigating the crowd to vent their anger.
They just sent troops to strictly control the public security of the industrial park and its surrounding areas, where they built high walls day and night, forbidden everyone from destroying the facilities in the factory, otherwise they would be shot on the spot and would never show mercy.
Those who want to destroy a lot outside will not dare to make trouble nearby when they see this situation. Anyway, there are too many places that can be destroyed in the city, so there is no need to be unable to live up to their own lives.
In Dallas, Brian stayed in the RV and looked coldly at the chaotic streets outside. Since that news came out, the army has suspended the distribution of supplies, and all sources of food need to be obtained by themselves.
This is entirely encouraging survivors who escaped from the infection zone to plunder all places where food can be stored. The chaotic city makes him dare not take the risk of finding Yarman, for fear of causing any trouble to the other party.
Finally, the fifth day after the social unrest in the entire United States, the government finally responded and would hold a press conference at 12:00 noon on September 22, 2013 to give a satisfactory reply to the people of the whole country.
......
"Hello everyone, I am Robert, the director of the Federal Disaster Relief."
The temperature in the city is getting lower and lower with the passage of time, and people put on clothes they have prepared or snatched to resist the cold outdoors.
But even if the warm sunlight at noon shines on the ground through the gaps in the clouds, the chill in people's hearts cannot be eliminated.
The streets today seem unusually calm, which is completely different from the chaotic scenes a few days ago. People either stay in front of the TV at their homes or crowded under the big screen in the square, staring at the scene above. They are waiting, waiting for an answer.
On the picture, there was a podium with the American flag on both sides. A middle-aged man with flax colored blonde hair walked up to the podium. He pulled his straight suit, adjusted the microphone on the stage, curled his lips slightly, showed a respectful smile, made an introduction to himself, and then started the topic of this time.
"About Ms. Theresa, the news host of XX Channel a few days ago, after the rigorous investigation by our relevant departments, I will give someone a positive answer here today. Yes, all of this is true."
As soon as these words were said, everyone was in an uproar. The crowd on TV and the crowd outside began to stir up unconsciously. Although they already knew that this was true, people still felt the anger in their hearts after hearing the government's admission. Fortunately, after a few days of venting, they could still temporarily restrain their emotions and not curse them as if they were successful.
After waiting for the crowd to gradually calm down, Director Robert continued to say loudly:
"At present, we have arrested relevant personnel who issued the order and imposed severe punishment to the greatest extent. However, now Cordyceps virus has completely threatened human security. The Federal Disaster Relief Bureau believes that the White House government's slow management system cannot truly help humans get out of the predicament in the end-of-day environment. Therefore, after we reached a consensus with the military, we decided to formally abolish the traditional bureaucratic system. The Federal Disaster Relief Bureau, the military and the rule of law will form a new United States to help humans get rid of the threat of Cordyceps!"
"good!"
"That's great, it's time to do this!"
“…”
After Robert finished speaking, someone on the TV took the lead in applause, and then there was a burst of applause. Although many people were still a little confused and didn't know what was going on, but when they saw that everyone around them applauded, they applauded together.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a moment, Director Robert slowly raised his hands and pressed down slightly, signaling everyone to stop applauding.
Seeing this, Brian, who was sitting in front of the TV, instantly cheered up and leaned forward slightly, trying to let himself hear what he said clearly. He knew that what the other party said next was the focus of this press conference.
"In view of the current global infection of Cordyceps viruses, it is no longer possible to effectively control it, the Federal Disaster Relief Bureau and the military unanimously decided to pass the Isolation Area Act to temporarily stop related vaccine research, give up rescue of infected areas, withdraw all foreign troops, devote all resources, and build quarantine areas in all cities, and fully militarized management will be implemented. We firmly believe that as long as Cordyceps bacteria can be blocked from the high walls, sooner or later, we will regain this land that once belonged to us!"
After saying this, Director Robert's expression became extremely struggling, as if he had made such a decision. He also made great determination. Then he raised his head and shouted to the camera seriously: "May God bless the United States!"
The signals in the TV were then cut off directly again, but this time the cutoff declared the birth of a new national government and the fate of human beings to survive in the isolation zone in the next decades.
After the press conference, the army began to take over the city order again and no longer concealed the movement of building high walls. Due to the sufficient preliminary preparations, the army directly broadcast the city that the isolation area only takes one week to complete the basic exterior wall construction.
Then when the curfew began at night, they began to broadcast the basic norms and conditions needed to follow after entering the quarantine area with speakers.
For example, the food and firearms of all people entering the quarantine area will be confiscated, and all supplies will be distributed uniformly. For example, the quarantine area will not support idle people, and all personnel will need to work to help humans overcome difficulties as soon as possible, etc., and a series of relevant regulations.
After saying the regulations, the broadcaster emphasized: "Since the planning area of the isolation area is limited, everything is chosen according to the principle of voluntary access. If the number of people in the isolation area is saturated, the excess will be sent to other isolation areas. Unless there are special reasons, no survivors will be accepted into the isolation area."
"For citizens who do not want to enter the quarantine area, the military will open a special passage for exiting the city. As long as you apply within the next week, you can choose to leave the city at any time. The military will provide appropriate supplies and provide survival guarantees, but all the materials obtained in the city must be left and cannot be taken away."
One by one, the messages hit the hearts of everyone in the city, making people stunned for a while and couldn't speak.
"This...this..." Osborne listened to what was said on the radio and couldn't say a word for a long time.
At this moment, he always felt that the whole thing was very wrong. Whether it was from the bold truth of the female host, to the plunder of survivors in the city, or the content of today's press conference and the designation of relevant regulations in the quarantine area, everything seemed to have been designed in advance, just like a pair of invisible big hands controlling the entire direction of the matter.
Osborne turned his head and looked at Brian, who was also thinking about his contempt. Although the other party looked like a child, he knew from the past few days that the child was far smarter than he thought, so he hoped to get the answer from the other party and see if it was the same as what he guessed.
Feeling Osborne's gaze, Brian turned his head and looked at his puzzled eyes. He knew the questions in his heart. He looked around and said softly after confirming that no one was there:
