The Little Prince in the Ossuary

00079 # Hardened Land

# solidified ground, Fort Roberts (2)

At the end of January, a hurricane came. The National Typhoon Center (NHC) sent a warning slip to various parts of California that Category 4 Hurricanes Carissa was scheduled to travel across the coast of San Diego to Baja California, Mexico.

Carissa was the third hurricane in the East Pacific, the first hurricane to cancel all operations in Port Roberts. The two previous hurricanes, Angelique and Beryl, have traveled far from the coastline, so little impact on California. Carissa, on the other hand, was strong and close enough for Fort Roberts, some 460 kilometers northwest of San Diego to suffer from wind and hoe.

The National Cyclone Center also warned of the possibility of a new storm before Carissa's extinction. Winter reminded me of some of the specialties.

Formation chance through 48 hours... high... 90 percent

Estimated production location 38 degrees north, 127 degrees west. It was about 500 kilometers west of San Francisco. If there is a hurricane here, California will suffer from heavy rainfall and raging winds.

Fort Roberts has been challenged by the abundance of water and prevention. Hang a new loop and rope to prevent the tent from flying, and stab at least ten more pegs in one joint. He is also building sandbags on the outskirts of the base and digging drainage routes leading to the low with heavy equipment.

This had to be done simultaneously on both sides of the Salinas River. To protect Kani Airport and reserve vehicles east of the river.

The Salinas River was last flooded with greenery in 2006. Since then, there has been a record drought in California, with low chances of flooding flooded rivers. However, Commander Gerald M. Raflin has been preparing for the situation.

“There is no excess in disaster preparedness. ”

Winter empathized with his position.

‘And that's good for me. ’

Standing by the rainy river, the boy officer looked at those who were fighting nature. Daytime without sun, under a dim sky, countless workers, regardless of nationality, came to work with one mind. It does not matter the gender or age. It was a beautiful landscape. Even if it was a forged reality, what was beautiful meant by itself.

There may be accidental contact in the refugee zone. In order not to increase meaningless casualties, as many people as possible must leave the battlefield. Therefore, the opportunity like today will not come again.

Winter pressed the send button on the work radio.

“Director Jang Yeon-chul. It's the middle of winter, can you hear me? ”

[Yes, sir! Can you hear me, please?]

The sound of the wind on the radio is murky, but there's nothing disturbing the transmission.

“I think I need to leave for a while. Would you be able to oversee the alliance on your own? ”

[Er... yes. It's not that difficult with other managers around. I don't know what's going on, but feel safe.]

Originally, there were two chiefs on site together. However, winter sent Director Min Wangi in early. The older scholar was weak because of his age. Even after getting the medicine, I couldn't expose the person who took a long time to catch a cold in the bad weather. He was an important executive.

Above all, someone has to control the turbulence of the stationary device when the incident occurs. While escorting Min-won, Winter also emphasized that.

“No matter what happens, don't let people shake you. ”

The scholar smiled beyond the raindrops of glasses.

“Of course you're asking. ”

Winter believed he would do well on his own. He's easy to guess why you asked him not to take for granted.

Hearing back from Jang Cheol, Winter is now heading to the police command post in the civic district. Soldiers guarding the checkpoint of the Civilian Garrison in the sun like the moon were soaking wet, despite their friendship. I twist my body in a strange tone and later find the boy officer and salute him furiously.

Once you pass the outpost, the police command post will be quick.

Police, gathered from various regions and cities around Sacramento, were responsible for securing Port Roberts by restoring the command system in their own way.

The large house had rain near the entrance, but the office and lockup were relatively intact. There are only a handful of policemen looking up at the dazed rooftops that roar indoors. Police personnel were also involved in the supervision of the work.

The officer standing guard at the entrance poses as a floater.

“Lieutenant, what are you doing here? ”

“I'm here to see O'Connor. Is he around? ”

Security guard Willis O'Connor was Chief of Police at Fort Roberts. He was also one of the highest ranked California state police survivors. The state police headquarters were in Sacramento. The commissioner and deputy commissioner went missing during the fall of Sacramento.

The landscape becomes even more rigid when it comes to business.

“Yes, he's in his office. Do you have an appointment? ”

“No. I just came to see you about something important. ”

“Very well. I'll give you a message. Please wait a moment. ”

Permission was dropped shortly. After grabbing the extension, the officer nods at the winter.

“I'll show you.”

While following the officer's back, the policemen in the middle pay their respects. Occasionally, the smilers were the ones who had established a good personal relationship with the boy officer. Winter responded to their favor with a light ceremony.

The tour was over at the door. Nevertheless, the security office was decorated beautifully. Opening the door, the security guard greeted the boy officer with a big greeting.

“Welcome aboard, Lieutenant. A surprise visit from a hero. ”

“I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. ”

“No, you're always welcome for any reason. Except when you're eating alone with your daughter. ”

“You care about your daughter a lot. ”

“Proud daughter. It's not easy being a federal marshal at 25. Glynko is first in command. He said he wanted to be like his father from childhood, but he was too old to be like him. ”

It's hard to call O'Connor's daughter an idiot. That's what's so great about it.

A large map of Port Roberts was hung in the security office. Future development plans, police patrol routes, and their districts are all listed in the timetable. These are high-end information that is not generally known. Winter wondered why a large space was planned in the middle of the Winter Alliance's territory.

Willis O'Connor fixed the position.

“Yeah, what's the big deal about coming to a middle-aged man like me on a day like today? ”

“We want to help find illegal weapons in Chinese refugee zones. ”

Winter did not mention dealing drugs. If we search for weapons in the name of search, we should be able to deal with drugs and other problems at once.

“Illegal weapons? Refugees have guns? How?"

It was natural for a middle-aged security guard to be nervous, as the boy officer would not make a fuss with a single blade.

Holding weapons in refugees is an important issue that directly connects with the survival of the fortress. After all, refugee zones are poorer, more controlled and discriminated against than civic zones. There are many refugees who are unhappy with American citizens living beyond the barbed wire. The current situation is improving, but given the chaos of the poor environment and lack of security that refugees have been living in, it has never been a relief.

Winter shakes her head.

“No, it's probably not a firearm. It won't take long. I estimate most bow, crossbow and sling types. ”

“Quantity?”

“At least a hundred units. ”

I'm not exaggerating. More than that will come when winter alone reaches more than three Chinese organizations and expands its reach to rob other nationalities.

“Well, a lot of crude weapons can be intimidating. If we raid the Armory... Or we can take civilians hostage. ”

In fact, the security concerns raised are unlikely to be realized. Crazy things you would never try if you thought rationally. But at the same time, he knew that the current refugee organizations were half criminal. You can't expect rational behavior.

“How did you find out about this? ”

“I've been guessing for a long time. There was an anonymous snitch this time. Please understand that I cannot give you my name. It's a snitch's hope.”

Winter deceived the snitch. I read and understood the augmented reality warning by technical calibration, and I couldn't explain it as it is. Operation AI will determine the situation and attempt a rollback. Repeated rollbacks will result in penalties.

“So what do you want? Support for the police force?”

“Yes, the more the merrier. ”

“Why don't you ask the Fortress Command for troops? ”

“I think security should be strictly police work going forward. I'd like you to report to Command before we begin our weapons search, but I don't want to use military force. ”

There is no reason not to use military forces when there are stakeholders inside the military. This is why we have a perfectly favorable view of winter. Nevertheless, they only sought to mobilize police forces to create a sense of humor in the refugee area.

And it's not that the U.S. police force is losing strength. From shotguns to automatic rifles, he had a wide variety of firearms.

“I see. I see what you mean. Do you want to give back your daily life to the refugees? ”

“Yes. I don't think it's normal for the military to intervene in security. It's a family situation. I want people to feel a little more confident going back to their pre-disaster lives. The problem is that the police haven't been around much, and there's been too many violent people. ”

“So show off your skills so that you don't have to look forward to it? ”

“I think it's a great opportunity. ”

As I stroked my chin, I said with caution.

“You said you were going to a Chinese gringo. I don't want to doubt you, but I have no choice but to check. Are you trying to solve the problem with the knowledge of the Refugee Zone? Rumor has it you're helping some of the Chinese faction. ”

It's not a rumor, it's information. Even if the police are not actively working on the rest of the residence outside the civic area, the security of the police could not be appreciated. Even during the Bradley occupation, Winter proposed and only filled them with Triad personnel.

From a police standpoint, those who use the Triad name will look refined. So far, no matter how the refugee zones turned out, there was no reason for the police to watch over refugees who had formed a criminal group in Triad, Black Society transport, as the emergence of a hero who was too young to be young.

Winter gives a gentle nod.

“It's true. We promised to help each other. But I don't intend to treat them as special in this matter. They were in trouble fighting amongst themselves, and they were promised not to take unfair advantage in the future. What's the use of weapons aimed at people? There's no reason for me to protect it. ”

“I see. I'm sorry for asking such rude questions. When I think about it, I never doubted the man who risked his life for honor. ”

The look on my face makes me regret saying something I shouldn't have. I mean it. He was a candidate for the Medal of Honor and the full impact of winter. I think one smile is better than a formal answer, making the boy familiar.

The smile was effective as always. Willis O'Connor gives final approval.

“Okay, let's do it. I'll contact the colonel. If you wait outside, someone will go. ”

“Thank you, Sheriff. ”

Winter bowed to him and left the office.

Artwork Reviews

1. It's hot. I close the door and write to concentrate, and the room temperature is always 36 degrees.

Yes, the author is writing in the hot tubes of hell. You write from hell, you write from hell. Well, it's a good condition to use dystopia.

2.

Q. Amish: Ang? At this hour?

A. The writer wants to go to bed early. T

Q. Half a chicken: Have you seen the Olympics at this hour? Blah blah blah I see it all in the pool now I sleep.

A. The writer doesn't watch TV. The last drama I saw was Heo Joon. I'm not interested in sports. You're sitting in front of the computer all the time, and this is the speed of action. It looks like we're running low on Noo Oho power.

Q: Don't overdo it. I hope this good work lasts a long time. How long do you want it to last?.. The blood vessels, the warm empires of the seas, are just as unique!

A. No! Writing like this and catching up might make the writer overwhelmed!

Q22934; Q22934; Q22934; Q22934: Because Dunkin 'donuts are bad security, I gave the police coffee and donuts for free to increase the security rate of the store, so the US police officially call them donuts. Bagels are not included in the service. Some donuts are not supposed to be of any kind.

A. It's generally known that way. But there's no such thing as a Dunkin 'Donut, the first time you gave a cop a free donut. I looked it up before I wrote it, and it dates back to the end of the 19th century. It was free pastry.

In fact, in addition to Dunkin 'Donuts and other chains, many shops offer free police services, depending on the location and location, and many cops pay for free services because they have pride, prejudice against the police, or unhealthy reasons.

The last time I spoke about Bagel, it was in a survey of real cops.

To help you understand, I'm going to show you the opinions of the American police that the author has been looking for. The translation is bad, but please understand. Haha.

Translation of Q&A below

Q. Do policemen eat coffee and donuts for free? I know it's a silly question, but I just saw police officers around my neighborhood pass through Tim Horton. Or did they pay up front?

A. You should know how angry that is. You're standing in line in a uniform, and you pay for something, and somebody behind you says, "Oh, you paid for that? I thought you were getting everything for free." When I say that… they think I get three snacks a day and everything else for free… I really hope so.

A. We pay upfront for coffee.

A. I eat hot, buttery biscuits. It's not fattening food like doughnuts. Oh, of course it's free!)

A. It's not uncommon, but at the discretion of the shop owner.

A. We pay for everything we get. Firefighters get everything for free (not us)! Excuse me? Officer?

A. My preference for doughnuts or other snacks varies by region. In the stations where I used to work, there were very few patrol cars outside donut shops, cops who ate donuts. We took a break at the Denise type coffee shop. And we preferred pies and ice cream as snacks. Some of the guys we used to work with, every day, went to work and visited Popeye Pride Chicken within two hours. Cops love doughnuts. It's kind of a stereotype. (Of course, I used to attend regular law enforcement conferences at the Donut Eating Contest, which was pretty fun.) But like most stereotypes, it's just a little truth and most fiction.

Above and beyond translations end:)

Q. Pumpkin: If you @ star, do fans send gifts but not citizens for American star winter?

A. It's a light spoiler, but it's not important, so I'll answer it. There was a lot of cake at Christmas. It was Christmas, so I specifically assigned him aircraft sotties, and it's hard to do that now.

That's easy to say, so it's hard to transport. It's piled up in the right-hand China of the blockade ship command.

Q. Slade: Can I get the name of the song I mentioned in the middle of @?

A. Kiapin: Slade//Lana del Rey Young and beautiful

Q. Oshin 4: If you are short, writers will stay behind. Compared to other writers, it's sad, but it's not nice to be so humble.

A. I appreciate the sentiment, but if you can't make day-to-day payments here, you'll be buried at the bottom... In fact, the percentage of views kept decreasing. Haha.

Q. PAM: @ Keaaaaaaaaak

A. Yes, yes. I'm really going to take the day off. I mean it.

Q. Master Column: I hope this post lasts as long as my blood vessels or distinctions. (In fact, even with the current series, there are more than five different Bibles...)

A. If it gets that long, the readers will ignore it. I want to be a full-time writer. Help me...

Q. Lostel: Is there anything else winter has played today that feels like @ foreign currency?

A. What winter did was a little difficult, and in the early planning, I was going to write about the excitement of the old man Park Woo-cheol, and I pushed him away.

Q. Aishcd: I have a vein story below @ and I want to ask you a question! How do you think you're doing? If you feel like it, I'd like you to join me more than a thousand times like a vein or almost a decade, but blah blah blah blah blah. That would be too greedy of me. If you want to see this piece for a long time, be careful with your health!!! Sanda keeps worrying about seeing her reviews. I'm sorry that this is the last too long question (+ sentimental), and please enjoy long and healthy days that will continue to be sympathetic.

A. As a writer, I want to finish at 250 bucks, but I don't know how I'm going to adjust the amount. Another novel, Halqueginia Sealbreaker, was supposed to be 50 or so, and I started writing because I'm almost 200 now...

Anyway, I'm not going to write more or less in my concepts. I'll only use as much as I need.:)

Stay healthy, Aishcd, and I'm going to take a day off today to stay healthy!
