Blackstone Code

Shop windows on a street in Marillo are packed with people.

There are several TV sets in the window, playing different programs.

Marillo's economy is terrible, but on the other hand, it's actually better than it was when the warlords were fighting.

At least society is stable and ordinary people still have some money in their hands.

Maybe not much, three to five hundred, or one or two thousand.

Not only do they have money, they also have places to spend it. Despite the poor economic situation and low per capita income, the people of Marillo are actually more satisfied than before.

If they were dissatisfied, they would not be so comfortable accepting the fate of being ruled by the federal government.

At this time, there were many people gathered outside the kitchen window. The news station was playing on the TV, and the local host with a serious face was reading out the latest announcement from the Central Government of Marillo.

"...Based on the latest developments we've received from our conversations with the federal government, Marillo will receive three million shelter spots."

"The central government urgently opened a discussion meeting for this purpose, and finally the central government made the following decision-"

"Marillo residents who are older than 12 years old and younger than 42 years old and have no history of infectious diseases or serious diseases can apply for shelter places at the local city hall."

"The review committee will select % of the applicants under the age of 68 according to a certain proportion."

"Thirty-eight percent of filers are over the age of 32 and under the age of 32, and 13% are over the age of 42 and under the age of 42."

"Residents whose application is approved should go to the nearest Blackstone Bank for personal registration as soon as possible. Blackstone Bank will explain the next steps."

"In addition, the central government has decided to build another large-scale shelter through self-financing, which can accommodate about three million people."

"The construction of the shelter will cost approximately 10 billion federal soles, and all Marillo residents will contribute on an individual basis."

"The central government will rank the residents who donate according to the amount of their donations, and the first three million people will have the opportunity to live in the shelter."

"If the amount of donations exceeds 10 billion, the excess funds will be returned according to the list, or a second fund-raising will be conducted."

"Please refer to tomorrow's "Marillo News" for relevant specific matters, which will have a very detailed introduction to the process."

"The next thing this station will report to you is..."

The originally quiet streets suddenly fell into a state of agitation, with many people excitedly expressing their inner dissatisfaction with the incompetence of the central government!

There are approximately more than 22 million people in Marillo, which was calculated by federal help after the war.

In fact, the Maliro people know very well that their real population may be a little higher than this number, probably around two to three million.

In other words, Marillo should actually have a population of 25 million.

The situation here has been pretty good in the past few years, and we have ushered in a long-lost peace in the true sense. The birth rate is getting higher year by year.

But just when everyone thought everything was heading towards a better future, bad climate change ruined everything!

According to the central government, only three million people in Marillo can be guaranteed to be well taken care of after the end.

The remaining people need to raise funds to get the opportunity to enter the shelter.

Even if they can build two or three, there will still be more than 15 million people without any effective protection!

Moreover, like the Federation, 95% of Marillo are poor, and they simply cannot afford so much money to raise funds to build shelters!

Eighty percent of the people in Maliro will not receive any protection or help!

They know better than others the horror of the extremely cold climate. The north of Marillo, the Arctic, has become a dead land.

Even now, when the whole world is in summer, there are still ultra-low temperatures of more than 20 degrees below zero in the north of Marillo.

Last year, a federal scientific expedition team tried to enter the Arctic from the Marillo Northern Icefield for scientific research, but they soon came back.

Not only the temperature in the Arctic is lower, but the environment has also become extremely harsh. At the same time, they believe that there are no penguins in the Arctic anymore!

Some animals that live in the Arctic Circle all year round, such as polar bears, have become functionally extinct, and there is no value for the scientific expedition team to continue in-depth.

The current Marillo Northern Icefield is basically around minus 80 degrees Celsius in winter. It is unclear whether it will exceed minus 90 degrees Celsius.

It’s not that the weather isn’t cold enough, it’s that no one can obtain stable climate data living in the northern ice sheet under such conditions!

The Marillo people are very concerned about weather changes, more so than other people in the world, because they are the closest group of people to the Arctic Circle.

Now, bad climate change has caused them to continue to migrate southward, and almost all the Marillo people are crowded in the southernmost part of Marillo.

The five states that were formerly divided according to the federal government are now actually only two states.

Originally, this time the central government went to the federation to discuss the construction of shelters, and the people of Marillo thought this might be a turning point.

But now there is no good news, which makes everyone desperate and angry!

Human beings, especially those without abilities, will always blame others when they encounter problems.

People believe that the central government and high-level officials in Marillo are corrupt, incompetent wastes and cannot solve any problems for them.

At the same time, some not-so-good signs have emerged among some groups, such as the expression "go to the south."

People are always talking about these things, and going south seems to be the only escape route for every Marillo who has no hope of winning the lottery.

People over the age of forty-two were already packing their bags and getting ready to go, as were the children under the age of twelve.

Within three days of the news being released, a large number of stowaways appeared on the federal border with Marillo.

The pressure at Border Patrol stations has never been greater!

Small-scale exchanges of fire even occurred in some areas, but more "invasions" still could not be prevented.

"We can't just sit here and wait to die. It's summer and it's extremely cold here. It's been difficult for us to survive in the winter these past few years."

"The only way out now is to continue heading south..."

In a cave not too far from the border, more than two hundred Malorians and Malorians gathered.

Racial hatred is irrelevant in the face of life and death, and the temperature in the cave is not bad.

Mountains are a good natural material for insulating air-conditioning. The entrance to the cave was tightly blocked with straw mixed with some cotton, and there were torches everywhere in the cave.

There is some ventilation so that everyone will not be suffocated.

A slovenly, bearded man who looked to be in his fifties sat by the campfire and looked at the others, "We have to find a way to get to the federal side."

"As long as we get to the Federation, we have a chance to survive."

"They are very short of workers now. We can work as workers first and then sneak into the shelter."

"But the first thing to solve is to find a way to rush through."

The guy who spoke used to be a small warlord leader. After the peaceful liberation, he became a small farmer.

Just when he thought everything was going to be fine, the damn world took a terrible turn.

There were more than two hundred people in the cave, and there was no noise at all. What he said would form an echo deep in the cave.

He actually has a little money, more than 10,000 yuan, but he cannot guarantee or dare not guarantee that his more than 10,000 yuan will definitely get him a place.

And even if he gets a spot, what will happen to his wife and children?

What to do with these brothers?

He was already in his fifties. He could not start a new life alone and could only find other ways.

Everyone's silence was the best answer. He nodded vigorously, "Okay, since no one objects, just follow my plan."

"Tomorrow we will go near the border and wait for the opportunity. Weapons and ammunition will be delivered to you tomorrow morning."

"I don't guarantee that all of you will be able to enter the Federation, so if you are caught, you can give up resistance."

"But as far as I'm concerned, I will kill anyone who stops me from going to the Federation!"

Soon the crowd dispersed and began to prepare for a break.

Early the next morning, before dawn, the barrier at the entrance of the cave was pushed open.

A large group of people wearing thick cotton clothes and carrying weapons came out of the cave.

They lowered their heads and fought against the cold wind as they walked towards the border of the Federation. Along the way, they discovered that many teams were marching towards the Federation, which gave them more courage and hope!

With so many people attacking the border together, it's impossible for the federals to intercept everyone, right?

As long as you can enter the Federation, you can always find a way to survive and enter the shelter!

The great changes in Marillo society in the past few days have been immediately reported to the Federal Presidential Palace. In addition to applying for combat readiness, the Northern Commander also hopes that the Presidential Palace and the Ministry of National Defense can send some reinforcements to support them.

There are still about 120,000 people in the Northern Military Region, and these numbers are simply not enough to turn the border into an airtight iron wall.

The Western Military Region will send 20,000 troops to support, and the Central and Southern Military Region will mobilize 15,000 troops to support.

But this number of people is still not enough.

Blackstone Security also got the opportunity to participate in this mission. Lynch directly ordered the transfer of 10,000 old employees and brought 50,000 new employees to the border.

Their mission this time is simple, that is, to do everything possible to prevent the Malillo people from smuggling and invading.

No warning is needed, you can shoot directly. As long as the other party cannot reveal his identity as a federal citizen, you can kill him!

The reconnaissance planes of the Federal Air Force also began to take action. They were responsible for discovering stowaways from the air, and then reporting them to the ground forces, who cooperated with each other to eliminate these stowaways...
