"Sorry, you can't go in."

In front of the door of Greenhouse No. 5, a guard soldier stopped Yanagihara and Al.

This is the junction between the city ruins and the greenhouse gate. There are damaged roads and building debris on both sides. Only the greenhouse walls stand tall, clearly separating the warmth and cold.

"Why?" Liuyuan looked at the soldier in front of him in confusion, frowned and stopped the snowmobile, which was still making a muffled sound.

"Resources in the greenhouse have been tight recently, so we have stopped accepting outsiders."

The soldier said indifferently, probably seeing that Yanagi Yuan and the others had no intention of forcing their way in, so he put down his hand that was blocking them.

"Unless you can provide the greenhouse access pass, I can't let you in. Of course, if you can provide the residence permit for other greenhouses, I can also apply for a temporary access document for you."

What the soldier means is simple, that is, Greenhouse No. 5 is no longer accepting ice refugees and wanderers who have no fixed residence.

Even visiting residents from other greenhouses can only stay here temporarily.

"Can't you be accommodating?" Liuyuan thought for a moment, took out a small piece of rare ore from his arms, and handed it to the soldier without leaving any trace.

"As you know, the weather outside has not been very good recently, and we no longer have the time or resources to rush to the next greenhouse."

This piece of ore is one of Droso's commission rewards. There are two pieces in total, each weighing about fifty grams.

To be honest, Yanagihara didn't want to use this thing right here.

But considering the worsening weather, Al is obviously no longer suitable to stay outside the greenhouse.

So Yanagihara could only take it out, wanting to try the possibility of using money to open a road.

However, the soldier just glanced at the ore, then shook his head and said even more coldly.

"As you know, the weather outside has not been very good recently, so the greenhouse has suspended external resource extraction operations. Now the internal resources of the greenhouse are limited. Every additional homeless person may prevent a local resident from receiving emergency supplies.

I need to be responsible for the residents of this greenhouse because my relatives and friends also live here. I hope you can understand."

"That's it." Liuyuan frowned even more tightly and silently took back the ore.

She pondered for a moment, then looked at the soldier again and asked.

"So, when will outsiders be accepted again here?"

No matter what, she and Al need to replenish resources here, otherwise it will be difficult for them to reach the next greenhouse.

"The weather observation station said that there will be a big snowstorm nearby in the near future." The soldier's expression finally showed a slight fluctuation, as if he had some guilt and seemed helpless.

"After the snowstorm passes, the greenhouse will mine a new batch of resources. At that time, we will start accepting outsiders again."

"Before that." The soldier said, raised his head and raised his chin towards the ruins behind Yanagi Yuan.

"You can only live in the ruins like other wanderers."

Only then did Yanagi Yuan finally know what the sights she had felt along the way were.

Probably some wanderers living in the ruins were peeking at the supplies in their cars.

It has to be said that this measure taken by Greenhouse No. 5 is a bit cold-blooded, because without the shelter of the greenhouse, it would be very difficult for ordinary people to survive a snowstorm.

Coupled with the lack of sufficient resources, this blizzard will definitely freeze to death many refugees and homeless people.

The greenhouse will only accept the surviving batch.

But from another perspective, this move is very wise because it not only reduces the pressure on the greenhouse, but also ensures the safety and stability of the residents inside.

Realistically speaking, they just chose the necessary sacrifices.

This is understandable, after all, a blizzard will come at any time, and their current situation cannot save everyone.

"I understand." Liuyuan nodded, restarted the snowmobile, and prepared to take Al out of the greenhouse gate.

But just before they left, the soldier by the door suddenly said.

"Survive as much as possible, we will definitely accept everyone by then."

"······"

"Yeah." Liuyuan was silent for a moment and responded calmly. He didn't show too many emotions and just said slowly.

"Thank you very much."

She would wait here with Al, because neither the oxygen nor the car fuel was enough to go to the next greenhouse.

And rather than encountering a blizzard on the ice field, it would be better to take shelter among the ruins.

At least there are houses here that can be used to shelter from the wind and snow, right?

The soldier watched the two people sitting in the car walking away and sighed helplessly.

He knew that he might have pushed two more people to death with his own hands.

Among the ruins.

Yanagihara drove Al through the streets of the city. In the next period of time, she planned to find a place to stay before nightfall.

It would be best if you can find an underground environment with relatively good air circulation. If not, you can just find a house that is not so shabby.

After carefully examining the ruins of the city, Yanagihara discovered that there were quite a few "residents" temporarily living here.

There are some signs of human activity almost everywhere, at least close to the greenhouse.

If nothing else, there should be at least hundreds of people living in the ruins now, maybe even thousands.

Why are there so many homeless people and refugees? Is there another greenhouse nearby that has dried up?

Liuyuan frowned, but did not think carefully.

Because at this time, the road in front of her and Al was blocked by a bunch of roadblocks.

"If I were you, I would stay quiet and get out of the car with my head in my hands."

Several ragged men came out from the corner of the street and surrounded the two men's snowmobiles.

The leading man held an old rifle and said this with heavy eyes.

"I'm sorry, you were robbed."

"Honestly." Liuyuan sat in the driver's seat, looked at the people gathered around him, drooped his eyes and loosened his hands holding the handlebars.

"This kind of plot is really cliché."

"Believe me, we don't want anyone to get hurt." The man holding the rifle aimed his gun at Yanagihara.
