Chapter 437 The Calm Before the Storm
After getting rid of their burdens, the refugee team led by Peter Parker shrank sharply, leaving only his classmates and family members, less than a hundred people.
"I don't understand, aren't we here for a mission? Why have we become scavengers?"
Little Ned rides on a broomstick, waving towards the state highway below from time to time Use the magic wand to cast the "Split to pieces" or "Restore as before" spell to clear obstacles on the road or repair damaged pavement.
Little Peter and Gwen were also riding broomsticks and doing the same thing.
"Aunt Mei is here, your parents are here, and those familiar classmates, it's hard to watch them being eaten by zombies, right?"
Little Peter didn't treat him just to enjoy acquaintances from another time and space. Of praise!
It’s just that he couldn’t keep the corners of his mouth down.
Gwen shook her head and did not respond.
After they accidentally created a sea of fire that could not be extinguished, Gwen immediately used the portkey to return to New York. After returning to her own universe, she notified Principal Tom and her ally Captain Rogers.
Principal Tom is currently collecting samples by the sea of fire, intending to conduct in-depth research. In fact, he is preparing more data about the zombie virus for Lin Hao.
The three little ones followed the refugee team led by Peter all the way south, planning to send people to the Atlanta settlement first and then go to contact more zombies nearby.
After all, there are many of their acquaintances in this team. Although they have never crossed paths in the past, looking at these familiar faces, the three little ones cannot remain indifferent.
The three magicians were followed by two buses, speeding on the highway.
“It’s so cool!” Big Ned shouted excitedly from the car in front: “Magic is so cool!”
As he spoke, he turned to look at his best friend, somewhat disgusted with him.
"Peter, your superpowers are not magically effective yet."
"I'm really sorry about that." Big Peter gave him a white eye in return.
"Peter, is that you in another universe?" Aunt Mei asked him excitedly: "She looks so much like you!"
"Not only do we look alike, we even have the same genes. .”
Big Peter seems to be hopeless. After the arrival of his other self, all the attention of those around him will be focused on him.
It's like a relative at home suddenly brought his girlfriend home, but that girlfriend looks a lot like him...
Well, something seems wrong.
Wait, this is America?
That’s okay.
"Is there me in another universe? Isn't that younger and more beautiful?"
"Help!" Big Peter had to squeeze into the back row, ran to sit next to Michelle Jones, and saw him MJ remained calm, and Peter was very pleased: "Fortunately, you are indeed different from them."
But Michelle suddenly asked: "Who is the girl next to them? She is your classmate in elementary school. Why didn't I hear you say that? "
A faint murderous aura surrounded Peter, as if he would be doomed if he said the wrong word.
"No! I've never seen her before. If you don't believe me, just ask Ned!" Peter was once again clever.
Michelle squinted her eyes slightly and showed a smile: "You're scared, I'm just asking."
Peter let out a long sigh of relief.
A jealous woman is more terrifying than a zombie!
The joining of the three magicians made the next journey easier, and it took them only three days to arrive in Atlanta.
At this time, Atlanta has turned into a huge construction site. Countless construction robots are busy. A towering wall surrounds the entire city. There are a large number of steel armors floating in the sky. Once If zombies are found approaching, they will immediately take action. Seeing this posture, Peter and his friends all felt a rare sense of security.
“We’re finally here!”
“You don’t have to worry about zombies anymore, right?”
“Peter, please contact Mr. Stark and ask him if he has done anything for you. We are preparing a place to stay.”
The high school students were still feeling emotional and shocked, but their parents reacted immediately.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are people, there are classes.
In front of us is a fortress of doomsday. In the apocalyptic environment, the original order has been broken, and a new order is about to be formed. Whoever can take the lead at this time will be able to stand on the upper level of the pyramid in the future.
Who doesn’t want to live a good life?
Peter was at a loss, but Michelle reacted immediately, took out her tablet, and played the "Resettlement Regulations" formulated by Stark.
“Welcome to the Atlanta settlement. The construction work is very heavy right now and more survivors are needed to invest in the construction...”
"Everyone knows that the United States and even the whole world are facing a doomsday crisis. The original production order has been destroyed and living materials are in short supply..."
"So, settlements will be implemented in the future.' According to the distribution principle of "labor for materials", every adult survivor needs to participate in labor in order to exchange for the materials needed for life. "
"Underage children will continue to receive education in school. The good news is. The school will no longer charge tuition fees, and teachers will replace labor with teaching and receive higher than average wages."
"If someone is unwilling to accept these regulations, the settlement will not accept him."
After Tony Stark finished speaking these contents in the commentary video, everyone in the bus fell silent.
My privileges are not yet available, do I still need to participate in labor?
Families with average family backgrounds were just a little disappointed and soon adjusted, while several families with favorable conditions frowned.
After Tony and Steve from the main universe of the movie went to the "base universe", they were somewhat influenced by another Captain America. In addition, extraordinary times are used to resorting to extraordinary methods. Tony, a smart man, naturally knows this kind of thing. The management method is most suitable for "Fortress of Doom".
The biggest resistance to the implementation of this rule is the original upper class. However, these people left the city as early as the zombie outbreak. Some flew to other countries to try to escape, and some returned to the suburbs. The manor ended badly.
The zombie virus is not a war and will not abide by the Western society's principle of "preferential treatment of nobles" and treat everyone equally.
In less than ten days since the outbreak of the zombie virus, the upper class figures in the United States and even the entire world have gone from strength to strength, because even if these guys hide, they still need a large number of servants or protection. Once someone is bitten by a mosquito, it is very difficult to survive in the sealed manor. Easy to spread.
Only large consortiums have the ability to create an absolutely clean living environment, and ordinary small consortiums simply do not have this resource.
Of course, ordinary people suffer more losses, but there are always sporadic small groups surviving in every corner.
No matter how bad the environment is, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, human beings will survive as tenaciously as cockroaches.
People are forced to live outside the city to die. Several families who once had good conditions were still forced to accept the management regulations of the settlement.
After all, these settlements were all snatched back from zombies by Tony Stark using steel armor and drones. He also spent great efforts cleaning the city and building walls. In the future, he will also build a layer of energy to cover the entire city. protective cover.
Just work, just work for Stark Industries. It was not easy to get into such a good company before!
Thinking of this, the refugees accepted the reality.
After living there for a few days, they found that the settlement was indeed safe. Although the energy shield had not yet been built, mosquitoes and small animals infected with the zombie virus occasionally bit people, but they were soon controlled by artificial intelligence. Dispose of it with steel armor.
"Friday" has accumulated a set of skilled solutions.
The refugees have found a rare and peaceful life, but this calm is just the illusion before the storm.
