Chapter 149 - Barton

Chapter 149: Chapter 18 Barton

After staying indoors to escape the most uncomfortable sunlight at noon, the client in the afternoon came. Zach picked up the job that had been taken over by Louise and Matthew again and drove the hearse to deliver the coffin to the cemetery. After meeting with Louise, he threw the job to Louise, returned to Grande by himself, drove Benjamin’s truck, and headed to Barton Prison in the west.

The southern district was the largest district in Barton. From the perspective of the history of Barton, the division of the western district, the northern district, and the southern district was actually a joke.

Barton’s west area was very small, compared to the northern and southern areas.

At that time, the Western District did not belong to the City of Barton, but to the City of Newton. It would not be an exaggeration to regard those former founders as delusional idealists, because Barton’s history began when these idealists with a lot of wealth wanted independence.

But the Western District was too small. A city? Don’t be kidding. Judging from the map of the entire city of Barton, the Western District was just ‘a rat caught by an owl’. So this group of people set their sights on the deserted east and decided to develop their own city.

The Passing River that left Newton City once had to flow through a large area of woods, which could even be called a forest, before it could flow into the Charles River. The founders of Barton, who now lived in the Western District, initially laid the foundation of the city behind a large forest, which was the current Becky Street, in order to get rid of the control of Newton.

The original urban planning was carried out around Becky Street, and the primary goal-transportation was already known to everyone. Taking advantage of the natural advantages of Massa Bay, the smooth development of railways and highways became a matter of course after countless dors were used in transporting the materials by water. The scale of the city began to diverge with Becky as the center.

After laying down the skeleton of the city of Barton, the new city had a shape, and the goal of these people has been achieved; the city of Barton from then on had the Western District and the Becky District. The Western District could exist independently between Barton and Newton as they initially thought. Among those who were playing this city simulation game, we have already met two, Quinn and Barton.

This was the first stage in the history of Barton City. In the latter part of this stage, Hermann appeared. This entrepreneur who came here because of opportunities and benefits opened the second chapter of Barton’s history. He chose the land that seemed to be very far away from the city center- Becky Street and began to cut trees, build factories, and develop the automobile industry.

This place was located in the north of what was now Passing District. This was the farthest place that this city could develop in the eyes of the Barton founders at that time.

Of course, history was not over. After the second chapter was over, Barton ushered in the third chapter, which was the real prosperity of the city of Barton.

When Barton was fully activated by the industry brought by Hermann, forests began to be developed around his factory. Workers and farmers were never separated. They existed like a shadow to each other. It was just that these factories seemed to be a boundary. To the north, that was the urban core of Barton. If you are looking for farmland? Please head south, this was the prototype of the Southern District.

With the factory put down by Hermann as the boundary, the city of Barton was expanded into the north and the south aside from the west.

Of course, the city of Barton also had a fourth chapter. For example: the southern and northern districts were formally established; the names of rural people and urbanites were undisputedly accepted by the citizens; the completion of Fenway Stadium. The city of Barton had slowly transformed from a transportation hub city into a real city.

There was also the fifth chapter: the city of Barton during the war; the city that gave hope to the soldiers on the battlefield; the disappearance of Becky District; the beginning of the retirement of the real power behind Barton city, and the prosperity of Becky District was replaced by Liszt…

Of course, there was more. For example, after the war, the purge that the vampire and the werewolf, and Anthony did; there were also rumors about the ownerless city among nonhumans; the opening of the gate of hell, and the arrival of Crowlie… These could be considered unofficial history.

When the city was truly divided into three districts according to the location, the construction of Barton City became more clear. For example, facilities such as the prison were naturally moved to the southern district, and it was very south. Zach drove Benjamin’s truck to the west, and then turned left to the south, heading southwest towards the real corner of the South Barton area.

After being confirmed by the guards, Zach crossed the checkpoint and entered this Medium security prison, which was a cold-toned facility constructed of cement and steel bars. Zach remembered that he had another acquaintance here. He raised his head, looked at a place called the “Dark Room”, and sighed hypocritically.

Zach didn’t like prisons. He stopped the truck, got out, and walked to the warden’s office under the guidance of a guard.

“I kindly remind you.” In front of Zach, the prison guard with a huge ass and a smell of peanut butter said coldly, “The warden is in a bad mood after you called.”

This was an old acquaintance. In the past, when Zach and Benjamin came to get the corpses, he would make arrangements and occasionally use the excuse of attending the funerals of those who did not have names to go out with the Grande brothers. This was a depressing work.

Zach didn’t care about his tone, smiled, and nodded, “Thank you, come to visit Grande when you have time. Alice learned some new things from Cook.”

The guard snorted, “If I have a holiday!” He stood in the corridor, complaining, and adjusted his tight belt with his fat fingers, “Go in.”

Zach nodded to thank him and then pushed open the black office door with the gold letter “Warden: Vincent”.

The soft brown carpet formed a strong contrast with the coldness of the outside world. The exquisite display cabinet completely covered the gray wall. As for the content of the display, you would think this was the living room of some extremely narcissistic guy. You could see the entire growth process of a person starting from black and white photos.

From infancy to adulthood, then to middle age, and finally to match with the person sitting behind the huge desk. There were also various awards, trophies, diplomas, medals, achievements…

“Quite splendid!” Vincent saw Zach’s eyes looking all the way in front of the display cabinet, and stood up with a smile, “Right? Sometimes, I also feel the same. Why am I this good!”

Zach’s smiling face was about to twitch, “Yes, it is.” It was not that the vampire wanted to see it, but the layout of this office was so that when you walk in, you would definitely see it all! The vampire has seen it many times, but every time he was defeated by this guy’s narcissism.

“Come!” Vincent walked out of the office and pulled Zach to the end of the display case, “I just got this! ‘Best Warden in Barton’, awarded by the mayor himself! ”

“Wow. You really deserve it!” What else could Zach say but just follow along?

“Did you know? I always think Mayor Anthony admires me!” Vincent said, “You know that the mayor was also a soldier, right?”

“Is this real?” Zach showed a surprised expression, “Oh! Then you do deserve such recognition! ”

“Of course!”

Vincent said proudly.
