However, it was not easy to live a stable life. First, there was the problem of food. Although the plantation was recovered and some leftover food was brought back, it could not solve the fundamental problem of food for the tens of thousands of residents in New Atlanta. Not only that, as the range of activities of New Atlanta's troops increased, some survivors began to come to join.
Tang Yu suppressed Cabrera's opposition and took in these survivors after careful screening. Those who were excluded either had infectious diseases or had questionable origins. These people were secretly disposed of. In this regard, Tang Yu did not need to be soft-hearted. At least for now, the forces of Skynet had not discovered New Atlanta, which was a major strategic advantage for them. However, with the addition of survivors, the pressure of food became greater and greater.
It was urgent to find food, at least to find food before the first batch of Hope III matured. For Tang Yu, he also hoped to capture Southampton before July 10, 2046.
New Atlanta should not be considered the core area of Skynet, there were few large-scale human settlements around it. Currently, Tang Yu did not know what the Space-Time Disorder had changed the world, but the remote New Atlanta was a place that was both suitable and not suitable.
On the bright side, there were not many activities of Skynet here. Overall, there was not much pressure, and the conflicts were not that complicated. To put it bluntly, Cabrera and Wang Jian were scum who wanted to enjoy life after the apocalypse. But on the bright side, the foundation of this place was too weak, and it could not bring much help to Tang Yu.
Taking advantage of the current reduction in combat missions, Tang Yu was ready to go directly to Mr. Maddow, because he found that Mr. Maddow did not seem to want to talk to him about the World War II supplies at Southampton port. He came to Mr. Maddow's office and saw that Mr. Maddow was on the table with a few clerks, calculating something.
Seeing Tang Yu come over, Mr. Maddow raised his head, took off the glasses he would only wear when dealing with documents, and said with a smile, "Haha, why do you have time to visit this old man today? Tang Yu. "
Tang Yu smiled and said, "First of all, you're not an old man, and you're very healthy. In addition, the Terminators around have been wiped out recently, so I naturally have time to think about the future. What are you doing? "
Maddow pointed to the documents on the table and said, "You know, the internal affairs of New Atlanta have always been managed by Cabrera, but recently, it seems that he is deliberately giving us a hard time. He seems to be slacking off. See, I'm trying to think of a solution."
Tang Yu frowned and said, "In the face of his provocation, you just accepted it so honestly? Also, didn't I bring back the control terminal from the guard tower? After re-coding, it shouldn't be difficult to manage resources and dispatch personnel, right? "
"Sigh, after what happened to Skynet, who dares to trust computers anymore …"
"Computers are tools at the end of the day. The rebellion of Skynet has nothing to do with this tool, because it's artificial intelligence, not a simple computer."
"Haha …" Mr. Maddow laughed and didn't deny it. He asked, "Then why are you looking for me?"
"It's about solving the current food crisis."
"Haven't you already solved this problem? The Third Hope will mature in three months. Before that, we just need to tighten our belts. "
Tang Yu frowned and shook his head. "The Third Hope is a long-term plan, but I didn't bring a lot of seeds with me. The first harvest won't be enough, and now we're running low on food. Even if we try to save as much as possible, we'll only have a month's worth of food at most. How can we just 'tighten our belts'?"
"So what's your opinion?"
"The answer is in your hands!"
Mr. Maddow waved his hand, signaling everyone in the office to leave. He looked at Tang Yu and said with a kind smile, "Haha, I knew it. You're from the Guardian Group, so the computer's encryption won't be a problem for you. So, are you planning to go to Southampton and dig out this batch of supplies? "
Tang Yu nodded. "That's for sure. As long as we get this batch of supplies, we'll have a foothold here. When the Third Hope is ready for production for three to four seasons, we won't have to worry about food anymore. That way, we'll have the power to launch a counterattack against Skynet! "
"But do you know the situation in Southampton? There's an entire division of Gray Coats there! Based on a minimum estimate, there were at least 15000 of them. Furthermore, they were the Grey Clothed Army, not those rigid and inflexible Terminator robots that would be easily fooled by tactics! Also, this batch of supplies is from a hundred years ago. Are you sure it's still edible? For such an illusory goal, you want me to take the whole of New Atlanta and try to shake a tree? I can't do that. "Mr. Maddow became serious.
"We can't just sit here and wait for death. The Gray Coats in Southampton haven't moved because they want to use the shipbuilding facilities there to modify and produce more Terminators! If we wait until they're ready, it'll be too late! "Tang Yu said loudly.
"But they don't know we're here, right?"
"They don't know our exact location, but they know there's a human settlement in this area! They'll find this place sooner or later! "
"But that's not a reason for us to take the risk! We don't have any chance of winning against an entire division of Gray Coats! We're just a bunch of civilians! Including Wang Jian and Zheng Hong's soldiers, there's less than a hundred of them! " Mr. Maddow slammed the table and yelled. He then realized he had lost his composure and nodded at Tang Yu. "Sorry …"
"Anyway, don't bring up the topic of attacking Southampton anymore. I'm planning a food rations plan, trust us … "
Before Mr. Maddow could finish, they heard a series of gunshots coming from outside! Tang Yu and Mr. Maddow were shocked. They looked at each other, and Tang Yu was even faster. He kicked the glass and jumped out of the window, running in the direction of the gunshots!
Tang Yu quickly followed the direction of the gunshots. The gunshots never stopped. He saw a burly man in tattered clothes holding an AK-47 in one hand, firing wildly at the crowd. People screamed and ran in all directions. There were already a few soldiers and more than ten civilians lying in pools of blood on the ground!
Some people were organizing themselves and firing at the burly man with AK-47s and M-4s in their hands. However, the burly man did not move at all. Beneath the torn skin, there was a metal skeleton! Terminator! T-800！！
At this time, Wang Jian's team, who had a weapon that could fight against the Terminator, was nowhere to be seen. Zheng Hong's team was not responsible for the internal defense. They were patrolling outside and looking for usable supplies. What was worse was that because the turret had been blown up when they were installing it, the gate of the new Atlanta was still being repaired. There was no way to install the turret on the gate!
After the T-800 finished firing the bullets from the two guns in its hands, it raised the guns and smashed them towards the people who were resisting. One of them was instantly smashed to the ground. It walked over, lifted the sole of its foot, and stomped on the chest of the person!
At this moment, there was a sudden bang, and a black shadow knocked the Terminator to the ground. It was a metal trash can! Tang Yu walked over with a Type II Electromagnetic Assault Rifle. Before the Terminator could get up, Tang Yu fired a full magazine of more than 50 bullets at the T-800's body!
At this time, Wang Jian's soldiers, who were responsible for the defense of the settlement, finally arrived.
"What happened? Tang Yu? It's you again! "Wang Jian walked over with an X-96 Blaster. He looked at Tang Yu, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
