Martial law was already under siege in Barrier No. 144, and Zhang Xiaoman led a full infantry brigade to set up checkpoints in various important streets in the barrier to ensure order during the retreat.

His mission is to keep civilians out of harm's way, in case someone takes advantage of the chaos to do evil.

Before that, everyone was still discussing in the conference room what unexpected situations would happen during the evacuation process and what kind of emergency plans needed to be made.

When he said this, everyone turned their eyes to Ren Xiaosu.

After all, looking at the entire Barrier Alliance, the only person who can be called the Barrier Destroyer is Xiaosu.

Counting Ren Xiaosu's experience, he has experienced 90% of the barriers in this barrier alliance.

After the earthquake, Barrier 113 was attacked and destroyed by the test subjects and the human face worm.

The Li Clan's fortress was attacked by the Li Altar and the test subject, and was destroyed.

The Yang Clan's fortress was attacked by the Li Clan's nano warriors and was nearly destroyed.

Zhou's No. 74 barrier was besieged by the experimental subject, and was later destroyed by the blasting of the Qing's nuclear bomb.

Barrier 61 was destroyed by the Wall Creeper.

Tinder barrier, Kong's barrier......

Even the cities of the wizarding realm are no exception.

It seems that Ren Xiaosu is either destroying the barrier, or on the way to destroying the barrier.

Even the cause of all this destruction has nothing to do with him.

Therefore, when this series of data was all gathered together, everyone in the conference room hoped that Ren Xiaosu could start from his own experience and talk about what he should pay attention to on the evacuation road.

Although Barrier 145, 144, 146, and 143 have not yet been destroyed, they are actually of the same nature, all of them are facing force majeure, and the original order has been destroyed to a certain extent.

Ren Xiaosu looked at everyone's expectant gaze and couldn't help sighing in his heart, this is not a topic worth playing, he himself would rather never have experienced this.

"If order breaks down on the way to evacuate, then all the evils you can imagine will happen," Ren Xiaosu said: "There is no longer trust between people, but this is not something they can decide, everyone is like a drowning person, all they can do is to grasp every life-saving straw." ”

"People began to storm the shops in the ramparts, or other people's homes, and loot other people's property in rude and savage ways as a bargaining chip for their own survival. ”

"Children, women, and the elderly will be the most vulnerable on the way to flight, and some men will begin to try again to grasp the most primitive power, to dominate the means of production, to dominate everyone's freedom. ”

"Food and medicine have become the most scarce resources, the value of money is constantly depreciating, and if we are all hungry, then a bite of food is likely to kill people. ”

"People started cursing at those in power because it was a consequence of those in power. However, soon they stopped scolding, because their minds were all about fleeing, and they had no mind to care about anything else. ”

In fact, Ren Xiaosu has never experienced the most painful thing in the world on the way to escape, because he has strength.

But most people weren't as lucky as he was, and sometimes the fleeing party set off again and left some corpses in the original camp.

No one cares how they died, it could have been robbed, it could have been violated, everything was possible.

Ren Xiaosu continued: "At the moment of war, of course, we can't spend more energy to protect civilians, but the necessary supplies still have to be provided, as long as everyone can still eat a bite to eat, the situation will not be desperate, and there will be fewer people who take risks." ”

Therefore, the most important thing on this evacuation road is food.

The large fields of potatoes, winter melons, and pumpkins that Zhou Yingxue once planted casually became the key to this evacuation.

These crops planted by the big girl are incredibly high.

In order to protect the economic ecology within the barriers, Wang Yuexi was reluctant to put these crops on a large scale on the market, and he even quarreled with Zhou Yingxue about it.

And now in troubled times, their role is played.

Although there are fewer varieties of these foods, it is almost impossible to starve to death at this time, and no one will pay attention to it so much.

Large quantities of supplies were transported to the western gates of the ramparts, while others were transported to the northwest to establish relief stations in the wilderness.

Relief stations are set up about every 80 kilometers, and the normal escape speed of refugees is usually 60 kilometers a day, so the installation of relief stations is enough to ensure that refugees do not starve to death on the road.

When the sound of announcements sounded in all corners of the fortress, the infantry brigade led by Zhang Xiaoman immediately raised its vigilance.

To their surprise, the residents of Barrier 144 were not panicked, but silent and curious.

In the silence, military trucks and supply trucks were driving away towards the west, and there was indeed an atmosphere of impending a storm.

Out of nowhere, there was a sound of glass breaking.

Standing on a less crowded street, a group of young people thought their chance had come after hearing the announcement, so they found a grocery store selling alcohol and tobacco, and tried to ransack it.

In their eyes, this brick is like a signal, as long as it is smashed out, then the barrier will immediately become chaotic, and no one will have time to care about them at that time.

More than a year ago, when the Zong clan's barrier was broken, there was a similar thing, and now they are also familiar with it.

However, this time it was a little different, they had just thrown the bricks out, only to find that the surrounding residents were watching them coldly.

No one followed, and a piece of glass smashed the window, but in the sound of shattering, the atmosphere became more and more eerie and silent.

Their momentum weakened little by little, and then one by one they were ready to run away like children who had done something wrong.

An aunt shouted on the side of the road: "Who, aren't you a child of the old Li family at the corner of the street, hurry up and go home, otherwise it will be up to your father to clean you up." ”

Before the words fell, the young men who smashed the glass ran away.

A farce ended in a hurry before it even began.

Some people began to find the soldiers of the infantry brigade and asked: "Isn't this broadcast a prank? Who is the enemy, is there an enemy that our Northwest Army is so powerful that it can't defeat? What do we need to do?"

Many soldiers were stunned by these words, they already knew what kind of enemy was coming, and they also knew very well that it would be difficult for the Northwest Army to compete with it.

But the civilians didn't think so, the communication was interrupted, and even the newspapers didn't know what was happening in the Central Plains, and the common people only felt that in the northwest home, the young marshal and the sixth field division even destroyed the wizard country, and these days the storytellers in the tavern are talking about how powerful the Northwest Army is every day.

So everyone thinks that the Northwest Army is the most powerful, how can it be forced to retreat.

The soldiers of the infantry brigade said: the enemy is very strong.

The old man on the side smiled and said: Be confident, everyone believes that you can win.

The soldier of the infantry brigade explained: We really can't fight in this plain terrain.

Uncle said: Really, I don't believe it.

The soldiers of the infantry brigade said: We are a strategic retreat, and this will soon become the main battlefield, and if you stay here, you will be affected by the fire.

It was only at this time that the uncle said: Aoao, strategic retreat, I understand strategy, then we will retreat!

It took a lot of effort for the soldiers of the infantry brigade to go home and pack their things as civilians gathered around and waited for explanations.

The wall administrators led by Wang Yuexi were more anxious, and they began to constantly urge everyone to evacuate through the radio, and informed everyone of some explainable doubts on the radio.

For example, it is necessary to travel lightly, such as how to follow the large army, such as how to find supply and rescue points, for example, to set off as soon as possible, for example, women and elderly people with children can go to the military control area of the Sixth Field Division in the fortress and accept unified arrangements for evacuation.

A large open space has been cleared for the displaced market town at the western gate, and all residents who have passed through it and evacuated westward will receive a portion of boiled potatoes.

When Zhang Xiaoman came to inspect the place, he thought that it would be very chaotic, and there might even be a situation of refugees grabbing food.

But in fact, this did not happen, and the evacuated civilians lined up in an orderly manner to receive relief food, and then followed the evacuated troops towards the northwest.

At the beginning, Zhang Xiaoman felt that he had arranged it well, and he had controlled the situation so quickly, and he could go to the young marshal to invite him at night.

In the face of the infantry brigade with loaded guns, which one dares to cause chaos for the Northwest Army at this time?

However, gradually he found that there were some strange things, some people who tried to cut into the queue, before the infantry brigade soldiers could catch them, they were scolded by other civilians out of the line, and they could only honestly go to the back of the line.

There were also some people who had received it and then hid behind the line, trying to cheat them out of another handout of food, but they were also identified by other civilians and kicked out of the team.

Some refugees didn't even get food.

Zhang Xiaoman stopped an aunt who didn't receive food with some confusion, and then asked: "Auntie, why don't you go to get food, is it because my soldiers have a bad attitude, or don't give you food?"

The eldest aunt was happy: "Didn't you say that there is another supply point 80 kilometers away, and my family still has a lot of food in store, so that it can't even last 80 kilometers." The young man in my neighbor said, "You still have to stay and fight the enemy, and there may not be enough food, so I don't think I'll trouble you." ”

As she spoke, the aunt opened the cloth bag she was carrying, and there were fried oil cakes in it: "Do you want to eat it?"

Before Zhang Xiaoman refused, the aunt stuffed a piece of oil cake into Zhang Xiaoman's hand.

Zhang Xiaoman wondered, how this was not the same as what the young marshal said.

......

Not only Zhang Xiaoman was puzzled, but in fact, Ren Xiaosu was also a little puzzled.

He walked down the street with Yang Xiaojin, and the sights he could see during the escape had not yet happened at Barrier 144.

However, Ren Xiaosu quickly figured it out: "The war has not really affected here, so the residents of Barrier 144 do not have the panic I have seen, with relief stations and proper transparency of information, they do not really feel hunger and fear." So, there is still some rationality here. ”

Yang Xiaojin said: "Everyone can also trust the Northwest Army." ”

Ren Xiaosu shook his head: "In an extreme situation, what is trust worth? When I was not an extraordinary person, I also felt that kind of fear, even sleeping needs others to keep vigil, how can I talk about trust with strangers." Let's hope the Northwest doesn't become like that, and we can only do our best to maintain the status quo until a real disaster strikes. ”

Yang Xiaojin said with a smile: "You don't have to be so modest, there are also the credits of you, Wang Yuexi, and Uncle Fugui." ”

Ren Xiaosu shook his head again, but did not continue to argue.

He rarely believes in human nature because he has seen too many things that are inhuman.

Therefore, Ren Xiaosu feels that the refugees have not reached the most ferocious step now, probably because they have not figured out what situation everyone is facing.

At this time, Ren Xiaosu actually saw an old man sitting on a small horse in front of his house, calmly watching the retreat of the residents of the barrier.

Ren Xiaosu walked over and said curiously: "Uncle, didn't you hear the announcement, the elderly over 55 years old need to hurry up to the military control area on Anning East Road to gather, and they will arrange for you to retreat in a unified manner." ”

The uncle glanced at Ren Xiaosu, and then said with a smile: "Don't go, you young people leave quickly, don't worry about me." ”

This uncle didn't seem to know Ren Xiaosu's identity, and Ren Xiaosu wondered: "Aren't you leaving? Why? Is it because you don't want to leave after living here for a long time? Don't you know that the enemy is coming, the Northwest Army can't beat them, and they can only wait for death if they stay here, or face a situation that is even more difficult to accept than death." ”

Ren Xiaosu sometimes wonders, do those who are controlled by zero still have their own consciousness?

Maybe they can still see, they can hear, they smell, they can smell.

But in this situation, you have to eat insects and animal stumps to supplement protein, and swallow animal internal organs to replenish fat, which is so terrifying and cruel.

The uncle sat on the pony and looked up and smiled at Ren Xiaosu: "I heard the young man next door say that the enemy is coming, and the Northwest Army wants to transfer strategy. I'm not nostalgic for this place, although I have lived all my life, I also want to see the peaceful and prosperous times after the Northwest Army defeated the enemy. It's just that my leg is lame, I can't walk, and I can't walk to the 178 fortress. ”

Ren Xiaosu was puzzled: "Isn't it clear enough on the radio, a 55-year-old man like you doesn't have to go that far at all, naturally someone will arrange it for you." ”

The uncle smiled: "I know that the Northwest Army has a good heart, and it is estimated that the women with children and the elderly are gathered together, and they probably want to transport them together by vehicles, but there are so many people in one barrier, how can the Northwest Army be busy, and I will not trouble them with this old bone." ”

Ren Xiaosu was a little helpless, although the radio said that the unified arrangement for the evacuation, but did not mention the matter of the key door, on the one hand, it is not easy to explain the operation mechanism of the key gate, and on the other hand, it is redundant to explain this.

Ordinary residents understood what was going on when they heard the unified arrangements for the elderly, weak, women and children, but this uncle didn't want to cause trouble to the Northwest Army, so he simply didn't go to the military subdivision to report.

Ren Xiaosu asked softly, "Why, isn't it good to have someone help you?"

The uncle smiled: "When I was young, the Zong clan still had the final say, and at that time, everyone didn't actually think it was so hard, anyway, the consortium gave you a bite to eat, and you just made do with it, don't pay so much attention to it." Although everyone knows that life is very hard, they can bear it, and they think that everyone in the world lives this kind of life. Everyone has a good life at the 178 Fortress, but everyone has no idea, because they haven't seen it with their own eyes, they just think it's a legend. ”

The uncle continued: "Later, the Northwest Army of the 178 Fortress came, and the atmosphere in the fortress finally began to liven up, everyone dared to speak loudly, the beautiful girl dared to dress herself up on the street, and there was no need to be afraid when she saw the soldiers. If it was placed in the past, there were beautiful girls in the family who all cut their hair short and raised as boys, and they didn't dare to let the people of the Zong family see it. At this time, everyone realized that they used to live in a dark ditch, and now the sun has just shone in. ”

Ren Xiaosu asked: "Since the good days have just begun, you should live longer." ”

"You don't understand it as a young man," the uncle smiled: "What kind of enemy does it have to force the Northwest Army to retreat? It must be a terrible enemy, an enemy they can't beat, right? After the Northwest Army came to Barrier No. 144, it gave everyone tax reductions and set up an administrative service center, and after the young marshal of the Northwest Army came, he also got grain for everyone, divided fields for everyone, and led everyone to build water conservancy. At this time of crisis, if the clan had changed, those who had been soldiers would have run away early, and as a result, the Northwest Army did not abandon everyone to retreat, but instead built relief stations and helped the elderly, weak, women and children. But I know that they can't even care about themselves and think about us. ”

The uncle continued: "When the catastrophe comes, people still think of you in their hearts, but you can't be uninteresting, what is it if I die at such an old age, I have to let those soldiers of the Northwest Army survive a few more, so that we can win in the Northwest." The Northwest Army won, and the future generations of this land will not have to live in the gutter like when I was young. ”

If he didn't know what this world was supposed to be like, he actually didn't have anything to live under the rule of the Zong clan, anyway, it was such a way of living since he was born, and he could live horizontally and vertically.

But he had already seen the short period of peace and prosperity in the northwest, and he could no longer bear the life he had experienced, and he didn't even want the people who would live in the future on this land to experience all that.

In the uncle's opinion, preserving the strength of the Northwest Army is far more important than his old bones surviving.

Ren Xiaosu was silent for a long time, he waved his hand to the two infantry brigade soldiers on the street and said, "Give me this uncle to set up a military control area." ”

Of course, these two soldiers recognized Ren Xiaosu, and immediately set up the uncle without saying a word, and left without saying a word, in the No. 144 barrier, what the young marshal said was a holy decree.

The uncle was carried off the ground and walked more than ten meters, and the whole person was stunned.

He suddenly struggled: "You let go of me, I won't go, you take others away!"

The two soldiers said in a low voice: "Uncle, don't embarrass us, the young marshal has spoken, even if you cut your throat today, you have to go to the military control area and evacuate with the others." ”

The uncle was stunned for a moment: "Who did you say was that young man just now?"

The two soldiers were happy: "You have been chatting with the young marshal for a long time, and you still don't know who he is?"

The old man was completely stunned.

Ren Xiaosu stood in the alley, looked at the barrier, and sighed: "I hope there is enough time for everyone to evacuate." ”
