EP.3986 Summer of Tea
Now spring is over and we are entering early summer.
The timing of the end of the war against infection and the entry into the era of survival varies from person to person.
Those who take the defeat of the last unified national army as the standard, those who take the point in time when the government completely fled to Jeju Island as the standard.
Many people point to the point when commanders rebelled en masse and rose up as warlords in the south.
Even so, it was only a few months apart for each person. Since the landmass is small, events happened one after another in an instant.
Anyway, now that summer has arrived, it can be said that it is the 6th year for everyone.
A small fort was completed at the port of Shandong Province.
Large-caliber surveillance turrets have been installed on top of the new Level E barricades, which surpass the existing Level D barricades.
From there, a large cargo ship comes and goes from the West Sea.
Inside are raw materials that China has been diligently stockpiling for the past six years.
Once they’ve all been moved, they’ll start raiding oil fields, mines, and factories all over the place.
Another cargo ship is scheduled to be added next month, and we hope to have four or so ships afloat during the winter.
Although the sea monsters have been extinct for a long time, we have not yet discovered any force operating large ships.
Warships were sunk during the war, and many civilian vessels were requisitioned and suffered a similar fate.
There were also ships anchored off the coast for various reasons.
However, these places became temporary shelters for refugees and were subject to looting, and were severely damaged as infected organisms flowed in.
Even the large ships that were lucky enough to escape damage still needed a lot of repairs and veteran sailors to deal with the oil-guzzling monsters.
There may not yet be a force capable of handling them.
Of course, we cannot feel reassured just because the risk of infection has decreased.
Because when the threat of monsters disappears, it’s natural for the threat of humans to take its place.
* * *
As we begin to gather and collate information across continents, reports are submitted daily.
Let’s organize them one by one.
First of all, China was destroyed.
There may be Chinese living here and there overseas, but in this era of endless competition, they are just good targets for plunder by local residents.
[Several military units joined together to attack Chinatown.]
Mr. Hudson spoke over the communicator.
[They call it Chinatown, but it’s actually a camp for surviving Chinese immigrants. It’s fairly large, but it’s not particularly wealthy, and they barely make ends meet.]
“Why are you aiming for a place like that?”
[What could this be, a way to vent one’s anger and secure slaves? The commander of the military unit that led the operation was a neo-Nazi.]
“I guess slavery is in effect there. It hasn’t been that long since they cracked down on it either.”
[It’s embarrassing. But not all camps are like this. Some have slaves, some don’t, and they’re all different. Federalism is always full of character, right? Hahaha.]
Although not as severe as China, the United States has also suffered a devastating blow and has been split into dozens or hundreds of organizations.
“Isn’t there any sign of them merging?”
[Not at all! They are much more hostile to each other than the Southern and Northern armies during the old Civil War.]
Originally a federal state with strong regional characteristics, it is said that there was great regional discrimination in supplies and relief during the war of infection.
It’s not simply that the government or the military hated a particular region.
It’s almost like throwing it away with the mindset of cutting out a cancerous lump because there’s no strategic way.
Of course, there is a lot to say from the perspective of someone who has been abandoned.
Thanks to this, separatists gained enormous power and became the United States of today in the Warring States period.
Moreover, the initial plan to move government ministers and command centers to carrier battle groups had fatal side effects.
It was a reasonable judgment, as the infection spread faster than expected and the land was in shambles.
It’s just that the dangers of sea monsters were properly recognized too late.
America had a strong source of information, Elder Hudson, but it was difficult to obtain information about Europe.
But the drone carriers that were sent with difficulty, the survivalist communications and broadcasts spread across Europe, and the merchants that travel along the coast of the South China Sea.
By combining these three, we were able to obtain meaningful information.
First of all, European powers such as France and Germany were not spared.
“There was a time when it was considered normal to have a lot of troops, mines, and outposts on the border.”
There are quite a few Koreans who do not know that the Korean border is a special case.
EU countries were connected by land and had virtually no border defenses, which led to a massive chain reaction of collapse at the beginning of the infection.
This part was expected and my biggest concern is the two countries.
Britain, a country that is both a great power and an island nation.
The other is Russia, a natural fortress.
It’s hard to talk about how advantageous an island nation is in terms of defense. Just look across the water to Japan.
Russia is better positioned to defend itself than the United States, thanks to cold temperatures that slow the spread of infectious agents and massive underground bunkers built during the Soviet era.
First of all, it is said that Britain lost most of its territory.
When Europe was being devastated by refugees mixed with infected people, Britain naturally blocked everything and declared neutrality.
It’s okay to be deeply resentful of that kind of attitude.
The problem was that they refused to allow the transport ships carrying the wounded Allied forces to land.
-We are not the EU!
-No landing allowed unless you pass our quarantine standards!
It is said that this was Britain’s position at the time.
For your information, the quarantine standards were so strict that they were practically tantamount to banning entry.
In an extreme situation where the wounded soldiers were groaning and dying one by one every few minutes, the captain of the transport ship made a decision.
-If you’re going to shoot, shoot! If we’re going to die anyway, we’re going to die on British shores!

They attempted to land by force, and the British actually opened fire and sank the fleet.
The EU coalition, no longer able to hold out within Europe, uses this as an excuse to declare war on Britain.
He declared that he would occupy Britain by force and use it as a last survival base.
The war of slaughter has begun, not only between infected individuals, but also between fellow humans.
And soon ballistic missiles were flying back and forth between the two sides.
According to Artemis’s guess, it was most likely France that struck first.
As a result, the EU has taken over the UK, but its infrastructure and everything else has already been destroyed.
Of course, quarantine could not be properly implemented, so when the infection spread again, the island became helpless and became a hell island.
Ultimately, Ireland was the only country that barely survived.
There, a small number of surviving British people, EU refugees and defeated soldiers are struggling to survive.
The past master-servant relationship of exploitation and exploitation has been reversed.
Although it is not certain information, it is said that in the British camps set up in Ireland, they were fed only potatoes every day.
In the case of Russia, they established strongholds in underground bunkers and fortress-like subways as mentioned above.
Unlike the United States, where government officials took refuge on aircraft carriers, they went underground from the start.
This was also because a significant portion of the Russian Navy had already been lost in the harsh international situation before the Infection War.
But there was a problem here as well, with the infection running rampant inside the sealed building.
“Why not something like the Metro series?”
I thought back to a novel I enjoyed reading when I was isolated in the upper echelons during the early stages of the outbreak.
“That’s a radioactive apocalypse, and this is a catastrophe caused by infection. Hiding underground wouldn’t be a very smart idea, would it?”
Artemis said.
She showed me a log of communications between Russian survivalists.
“Besides, it’s a country that’s just as corrupt as China. Hiding underground was fine, but the problem was the high-ranking officials who said, ‘I can’t abandon my precious family!’”
“Did you break the quarantine measures by trying to force them to come here?”
“Yeah. It was like how the coastal cities of eastern China fell. It wouldn’t be any better if it was sealed underground.”
The underworld, which could withstand even hundreds of thousands of heavily armed human armies, was rotting and decaying from the inside.
Of course, not all bunkers and subways were destroyed.
There were places that survived and continued the closed cycle. However, it is said that the situation there is not good either.
-Doards! Open the door! When you speak nicely, you will end up killing without pain.
Because there are marauding warlords roaming around, trying to break open the door and live outside.
As Pyotr and his Russian friends told me, during the war of contagion, the Russian government poured all its national power into protecting the western capital region, led by Moscow.
Men were drafted at gunpoint from all over Russia and moved endlessly westward, further and further west.
However, as the war against the infected became increasingly hopeless, it is said that at some point the command center went underground.
The conscripted troops, suddenly abandoned with no supplies or command, were forced to fight a desperate battle.
And surprisingly, somehow he managed to survive.
Although they were unable to eradicate the infected, they were able to secure a certain level of safety and establish a base.
The problem is that in addition to the large-scale use of biochemical weapons like other countries, nuclear weapons and dirty bombs were also used.
There were many lands that were unusable even after the infection was eradicated.
The situation was so extreme that Russian ground forces were transformed into large-scale groups of marauders, with the military in name only.
Today, Russia is home to the world’s largest slave market, where robbery, rape and murder are commonplace.
What these guys hate the most is not the infected that they fought so hard against.
It is the government forces that forcibly took people from their hometowns, drove them into exile, and then suddenly abandoned them all and hid underground.
Bang!
-It’s finally open! I’m going to tear these cowards alive… Aaaah!”
-Keeeeeek!
There was also an incident where a unit was annihilated after opening a bunker that was teeming with monsters as infection spread inside.
The surface is divided between infected and hungry marauders, while the underground is halfway to being a den of monsters or cowering, terrified fugitives from the Old World.
That’s Russia today.
Africa and the Middle East have more surviving warlords than you might think, but most of them are regions bordered by vast deserts.
A place with little organic matter to infect, restricted movement, high fever during the day and cold at night.
In places like this, it was easy for the survivors who were holding out to stop the infection.
Thanks to this, even though the country collapsed, tribal societies were created in various places in the form of point organizations.
Australia has seen an uncontrollable spread of the virus as people flock to major cities along the coast.
Thanks to this, survivors fled into the vast deserts inland.
The inland desert that used to cover most of Australia but was home to only 2% of the population now supports 90% of the population.
It is said that a bloodbath takes place every day over the few water sources there.
Its glory as a warm and peaceful tourist destination has disappeared.
It was ironic that in the past, third world countries that were considered to be in a state of chaos with constant coups and civil wars maintained more survivors and territory than some advanced countries.
* * *
My life hasn’t changed much.
As always, she takes care of the affairs of the shelter and flirts with Artemis. She also takes care of the AI secretaries and nymphs.
He spends his time leisurely patrolling, studying and training.
However, we have been carefully observing the emergence of new powers that could pose a potential threat to us.
But even now, six years later, there is still no sign of a strong force pulling aircraft or warships.
A savage world slowly regenerating after destruction. In contrast to that, the daily life of a perfect shelter.
When I thought that this environment surrounding me would continue in the future.
A small change has occurred.
It may not be much of a change, but on the other hand, it is a change that could change everything.
