Patterson's life is pretty good. He has been vaccinated, and because California is a neighbor, he has received a lot of prevention and control supplies from Xiaobu.
In addition to vaccines, a large number of ventilators and masks were also provided.
However, these three important supplies, vaccines and ventilators, are mainly used by the rich and powerful, while ordinary people can only get masks.
Regarding the dissatisfaction of ordinary people after they were unable to get vaccinated, Patterson and Xiaobu attributed it to market behavior. They told ordinary people that the vaccines were bought and of course they had to be sold.
In this way, even if ordinary people have complaints, it is difficult for them to vent them on the government. Who can they blame for their own incompetence?
It’s different now. There is no harm without comparison. Injections are free in California.
Ordinary people curse the shitty capitalists while trying to find a way to get to California.
So Carson City was empty.
For Patterson, Carson is empty and there is no problem with people running to California. The problem is that this mobility has completely destroyed the prevention and control situation that Patterson had previously arranged.
Because Neva is close to California, Paterson has made great efforts in prevention and control. Checkpoints have been set up on roads in various cities, and illegal movement is strictly prohibited.
"We have the army working with you, but you can't even guard the intersection." Patterson cursed the local police chief, "California is the place with the worst virus control in the United States. So many people going there will definitely not be able to get vaccinated, and when they come back they will bring the virus with them, and our state will be doomed."
Patterson obviously did not realize the deeper intention of Zeng Wangcai's move, and was still worried about prevention and control rather than public opinion.
"Sir, the army doesn't listen to me." The police chief was very upset. "Besides, we don't have many soldiers here, and there are too many roads to manage."
"I will send more troops to help you!" Patterson ordered with a dark face, "Next you have to strengthen control and prevent people from passing through. Most importantly, don't allow people to come over."
"Night market..."
The problem extends beyond Carson to all cities bordering California.
Patterson was unwilling to give up the order he had established with great difficulty, so he began to fly non-stop, one city after another, starting with the city with the worst situation.
It's like building a fence!
At the same time, Mane's people expanded the defense circle according to Zeng Wangcai's request. The original San Francisco has been changed to the current one based on San Francisco, with three or four cities outside joining together to expand the defense circle.
Zeng Wangcai's bulletproof MPV was driving on the road, with the front leading the way and the back following behind being Hummer vehicles of Mane's elite troops.
The soldiers in the Hummer were all on high alert, fearing that some idiot would suddenly appear and attack Zeng Wangcai's car.
Today is the day to receive the families of soldiers in the army. This reception activity has been going on for several rounds and will continue as the defense circle expands.
There are more than 200,000 troops, and the number of their families has reached more than one million.
At the same time, today is also the first time that Zeng Wangcai and his team publicly released a special medicine, which was also a show.
"Sir, there are too many people coming to our place right now." Mane, who was sitting opposite Zeng Wangcai, said worriedly, "We can't accept so many people other than family members. Should we stop for a while?"
Mane receives reports every day about how many people are circling outside Luca and are unwilling to leave.
As more and more people come, those who come will inevitably feel disappointed when they see that others can get in but they cannot, and disappointment will lead to impulsiveness.
"Have you published the notice I asked you to publish?" Zeng Wangcai did not answer the question, but asked, "The notice must not only be published, but also implemented. I want to know how many people are willing to act according to our notice."
"The notice has been released, and the vast majority of people are willing to listen to us, but they also have requirements. They hope to obtain our protection, including priority use of vaccines and medicines." Mane replied, "I have promised them and sent people to arrange the reception, but sir, even if we get their support, it is not enough to accept so many people."
"We have to accept it even if we can't!" Zeng Wangcai thought for a while and said, "Now is the most critical time. We have to make California a holy land. The first thing we have to do is to show our attitude and build square warehouses outside each roadblock..."
Square warehouse?
What the hell?
Mane naturally couldn't understand what a square warehouse was. After Zeng Wangcai explained, Mane didn't believe that a temporary place that could accommodate so many people and also have treatment functions could be built in a short period of time.
And not one.
"You're just a stubborn person!" Zeng Wangcai taught him a lesson. "It's just for temporary use. It doesn't need to be permanent. A tent will do. The most important thing for us is to show our attitude, to go all out, and to use technology to control order. Don't worry about these things. You just need to be a saint."
The car arrived at a roadblock where at least tens of thousands of people gathered outside.
The army maintained order at the scene and separated family members from outsiders.
A team of soldiers drove to the open space outside and began to set up the equipment.
In less than half an hour, a temporary stage was set up to face all outsiders.
The army began to guide the tens of thousands of people and gathered them in front of the stage.
At this time, Mane had already learned the lesson from Zeng Wangcai and understood what he was going to do next and the role he was going to play.
He walked onto the stage with a look of pity on his face, and walked to the podium on the stage. There were several microphones on the podium, making it like a press conference.
Because of the development of self-media, Mane often appears on the rebels' Matrix account for publicity needs, so many people know him.
