Chapter 12: The War at School (3)
The moment I walked out of the library, I felt a dangerous aura that had been firmly locking on me.
I had only walked ten steps to the school building across the street from the library when I heard someone shouting, "Stop! Stand there and don't move, or I'll kill you right now!" ”
The voice of the speaker was full of murder, and I felt that his words were not simply warnings, but would really do what he said.
So I stopped, raised my hands, and said in a loud voice, "Whoever you are, many of my classmates have fainted because they have no food and water, and I ask you to give me water and food immediately." My classmates can't wait any longer......" As I spoke, I saw a lot of blood on the ground, and a lot of bullet casings scattered on the ground, but I didn't see any dead or wounded, probably they had been removed.
A man slowly walked out of the opposite school building, this person was wearing a large mask on his face, and only his fierce eyes could be seen. Listen to his hoarse voice and say, "We can't control this, we don't have food and water ourselves, so what will we give you?" ”
I stepped forward: "So what do you say?" Did I watch my classmates fall ill or even die because they didn't have anyone and food? ”
The man raised his hand, which had a pistol in his hand. Hear him say coldly: "Who are you from the school?" Teacher or student? ”
I answered him honestly, "I'm a student of the student council. ”
The man pondered for a moment, "I can allow you to go to your school cafeteria and get some water, but don't promise me one condition. ”
I was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "You say." ”
The man stared at me for a moment, and then said slowly, "You must bring us a bucket of water before you can bring water to your classmates." How about it, do you promise or not? ”
I didn't dare not agree, and nodded: "One word is a certainty!" ”
The man waved his hand, turned his head to look at the artificial grove about a hundred meters away from the library, and said loudly: "I know that the people from your unit are in the woods opposite, and I think I heard the conversation between me and this classmate. If you promise to give us a bucket of water, we promise not to hurt the classmate, and we also ask him to bring a bucket of water to his classmates to drink. What do you think? ”
After a moment of silence in the woods opposite, someone shouted, "Let that classmate come and get water!" ”
I glanced at the man across from me, and when he nodded, I turned and walked into the woods.
The area of this forest is not very large, and the whole forest is less than one acre, which is artificial afforestation. However, because this forest has existed for a long time, the trees inside are very large, and the branches of the large trees are luxuriant, almost reaching the sky.
It is precisely because of this that the talents of the government forces chose this place as a base to fight those ****.
I walked to the edge of the woods, and immediately a soldier ran out of the woods. I was about to speak, but I saw him wink at me again and again, telling me not to speak casually. So I stopped talking, but followed him into the woods.
At this time, a gunshot suddenly came to my ears, and at the same time, an angry voice came: "Don't go into the woods, go directly to the school cafeteria to get water!" ”
I felt something hit the dirt behind me, and I could see the dust splashing.
The soldier stopped, looked back in the direction where the gunshots were coming from, lowered his voice and said to me, "Someone will be waiting for you in the cafeteria in a moment, and he will give you a military phone, you have to take it back so that we can contact each other." ”
I nodded, signaling that I understood, and he said loudly, "We have water here, so we don't have to go to the cafeteria to get it." ”
The man wearing a mask in the back hesitated for a moment and shouted, "No, let him go to the cafeteria alone to get water!" Don't play tricks, or I'll shoot him!" ”
I felt a chill in my back, as if there was really death behind me, and my face changed with fright.
The soldier nodded at me, and the look in his eyes was self-evident.
I took a deep breath, turned and strode towards the cafeteria.
The door to the cafeteria was open, and no one had time to close it around the time of the attack, so it was always open.
When I rushed into the cafeteria, it was empty. I looked around and whispered "Is there anyone?" a few times, but I never saw the person the soldier said would contact me.
There was a small storage room in the cafeteria for food and water, and I strode in, not caring that the food had not been washed, stuffing something raw into my mouth and putting some highly nutritious things in my pocket. It's a pity that I only have two small pockets for my clothes, and I can't hold much in total. And if you put too much on it, it's easy to see it. I didn't dare to take the big bags of food in the canteen warehouse, after all, the man wearing the mask didn't allow me to take the food.
The water was in barrels, a bucket was not less than thirty pounds, I was carrying a bucket of water in one hand, and when I was about to go out, I saw a figure flash at the door of the warehouse, and a soldier in civilian clothes appeared in front of me.
The reason why I was immediately sure that this man was a soldier was because he was holding something that looked like an ordinary mobile phone, and I judged that he was the soldier who sent me a military phone.
He didn't introduce himself, but said briefly: "Press this red button and you can talk to us on the phone." After a pause, he said, "Hide well when you go back, and don't open the door casually." ”
I took the phone and hid it, turned around and strode out of the warehouse, my mouth still chewing on the lettuce. I have to maintain enough physical strength, otherwise, these two buckets of water will not be easy to bring back.
The **** wearing a mask was still waiting for me there, and the gun in his hand never put down. I handed him a bucket of water and said very carefully, "I...... Can you bring water to my classmates? ”
He nodded, didn't say anything more, and his attention was all focused on the few soldiers who had already come out of the woods. Those soldiers were probably afraid that this **** would regret hurting me, so they stood up and monitored him.
I hurried back to the library, and the students in the library immediately opened the door and let me in, all of them worried about me.
I put down the water in my hand and hurriedly said, "Give the water to the people who need it most, I still have a little food here, and I will take it to those students who fainted." ”
Some of my classmates quickly took the food and water I had brought back to treat those who had fainted, so I took out the military phone that I had placed close to me, walked briskly to the second floor, and pressed the red button.
Soon, a person's voice came from the phone: "Hello, brave classmate, I am the supreme commander here, thank you for your heroic performance just now." ”
I hurriedly said, "Yes." Excuse me, when can we go out? We have a lot of students who have fainted because they don't have food and water and are in dire need of help......"
Before I could forget what I said, the voice had already said: "You tell your classmates that we are already negotiating with the leader of the terrorist organization, and we believe that there will be a result within an hour, and we will rescue you as soon as possible." It's great that you can form a defensive front at the first time and block the ****'s attack! ”
I wanted to ask about the situation outside, but the officer said, "You can talk to our liaison officer about the rest, I have military affairs to deal with now, so I won't say more." Goodbye, our heroes! ”
My face flushed, I was called a "hero" by an officer, and I felt more proud and proud than I had ever felt before. Not only me, but even the classmates around me who could hear the voices coming from the phone were a little proud......
But our current situation is not optimistic, it can be said that we are still on the line of life and death, and if we are not careful, we may die without a place to be buried, so I immediately put away that trace of pride and pride, and said loudly: "Students, we are about to be saved, everyone is holding on, our army will come to save us soon, everyone must hold on at this last moment." ”
Most of the students were about to be saved as soon as they heard about it, and they suddenly came with spirit and strength, and the tiredness caused by hunger before seemed to be swept away, and they were all red and energetic.
As for those who have been injured or fainted, they can't keep up their spirits no matter what, and what they need is not a few words of encouragement, but real food, water, and medicine.
Although the students' mental momentum has improved greatly, I still feel that this incident will not end easily, and I am still very worried about one thing. That is, how long will we be stuck here if the negotiations don't work out? I'm afraid that the students who have lost hope at that time will no longer be able to persevere......
After waiting for my classmates to cheer up and protect all the doors and windows, I answered the phone call from the army again.
This time, the voice on the other end of the phone was the voice of a female officer: "Hello, I am the liaison officer here, you can call me Sister Wang." ”
I thought about it for a while, and said cautiously, "Wang ...... Sister Wang, may I ask, how long will it take for us to be rescued? ”
"Sister Wang" said without hesitation: "Please rest assured, we will do everything we can to save you as soon as possible." It's hard to say the exact time now, it shouldn't be long, you guys hold on a little longer, okay? ”
I knew that this matter was in a hurry, so I stopped talking about this issue and asked, "Can you find a way to airdrop some food and water to the library?" ”
Sister Wang hesitated for a moment before saying, "We will find a way to do this." This incident happened so suddenly that many of our troops and responsible departments have not been able to coordinate well, and not a single military helicopter has been mobilized until now, so don't get your hopes up. ”
In fact, I know some of the situation in the city, I don't know what the reason is, there is no air force stationed in the city, and there are no military aircraft, the only medical helicopter, which is also very old, whether it can be used or not is two words.
The air force unit closest to the city is also thousands of miles away, and it takes a lot of time to mobilize it to fight or airdrop supplies. It is precisely because of this that more than ten hours after the attack, no air force has entered the battle.
I knew it in my heart, but I still had a certain hope: "Then you see if you can do this, between the forest where you are and the library where we are, there is a building, which is the school's cultural and art museum." This museum is less than 15 meters away from the library where we are, and this museum is a little taller than our library, so can you throw some food and water into our window from the top floor window of the museum of culture and art? ”
Sister Wang thought about it for a moment and said, "We will send someone to take a look immediately, and if you can, I will contact you immediately." ”
I was a little relieved, so I hung up the phone and began to carefully observe the windows on the second floor of the library near the cultural and art center.
Teacher Wang came over at this time and whispered: "Jincang, we have been trapped here for so long, and many students think that waiting for others to save us is not the best way, and they say that they want to try to escape from the school by themselves." Look at this thing......"
I knew that this would happen sooner or later, so I didn't feel strange, but said to Mr. Wang very patiently: "Mr. Wang, look at the current situation, if we rush out of here, who can guarantee that those **** will let us leave here generously?" If those **** take us hostage and take us hostage, or simply give us a shot...... Do you think it's too risky to go out now? ”
Teacher Wang sighed: "Actually, I also know that it will be dangerous to go out now, but we are trapped here, and we have no food or drink, so there is no way!" ”
I told Mr. Wang in detail about the conversation I had with Sister Wang, and then said, "I think it won't be long before someone comes to save us." Besides, as long as we have water and food, we might as well wait a little longer, safety first. ”
Teacher Wang thought for a while: "Well, I'll talk to those students again, and let them wait for another hour, if no one comes to save us within an hour, I think we might as well follow their advice and try to see if we can get out of here." ”
I knew there was no better way now, so I nodded: "It's okay for you to talk to them, but don't say wait another hour, at least two or three hours." ”
Teacher Wang was embarrassed: "If they are asked to wait for another hour, maybe it's okay, but two or three hours, I'm afraid some people will not agree." ”
I had no choice but to shake my head: "If they don't agree, let them go on their own." Anyway, we can't rescue the big guys right away, maybe they can really save themselves when they get out......"
Teacher Wang glanced at me, said nothing more, and turned to talk to the classmates.
I looked at the time on the military phone, it was already eleven o'clock in the morning, and it was no wonder that some people couldn't control themselves and wanted to get out of here to find another way out, we had been trapped for too long and too long.
I couldn't help but talk to Sister Wang on the phone again, told her about the situation here, and then got a situation: the government has formally negotiated with the leader of the terrorist organization, whether we can be rescued in the shortest possible time, there should be an answer in the near future.
I felt very tired and tired, and I didn't care about the dust and loot on the floor, so I sat down on the spot and leaned against the wall next to me and fell asleep quickly.
Five minutes later, I opened my eyes and felt much better. Then I felt that the surroundings seemed to be too quiet, and when I hurriedly looked around, I found that most of the students were asleep against the wall.
I didn't close my eyes all night, and I didn't have anything to eat, so everyone was so tired that it was really not okay not to take a break.
I didn't disturb the sleeping students, but went up to the second floor to look at the students who had fainted, whispered to them, and then waited for Sister Wang and them to find a way to get us some food and water.
With food and water, we can wait longer and have a better chance of being rescued.
