Chapter 155: The Great Evacuation

readx;

England, west of Glasgow, on the estuary of the River Clyde, a small village below Cardros. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was noon in an ordinary house, the grass on the eaves swayed gently in the sea breeze, but the house was dark, and looking through the dusty glass, there was only darkness.

A couple of children were passing by playing football, and the ball rolled down the front steps of the house's main entrance.

"Damn it, Pierrot, you go get the ball back." A child with freckles on his face shouted angrily and slapped the youngest child next to him on the back of the head.

Pierrot subconsciously took a step back, looked at the house not far away, shook his head desperately, and said, "Mom told me that it is a haunted house, and evil ghosts live there, so don't let me approach." ”

In the beginning, there were children who did not believe in evil to play a game to explore the haunted house, but then a few children were scared to be admitted to the hospital, and their families moved away, and no child dared to come here.

"What are you afraid of, whoever said that there are ghosts living in it, just a strange person." Children with freckles are the oldest and obviously know better.

"Enbo, how do you know?" A few children came forward curiously and asked.

Enbo enjoyed this feeling very much, and said nonchalantly: "Of course I know, Uncle Aesop lives here, and I used to come here to ask for candy at Easter." ”

"Really, why haven't I heard of it?"

The children obviously didn't believe it, and Enbo snorted twice, claiming that he was going to take a few people to explore the haunted house, in Enbo's impression, only in the past few years, Aesop's family rarely appeared, and Aesop's wife and children died somehow. Only an aging Aesop remains, who has become a strange person in the mouth of the villagers.

"Let's go, I'm not afraid at all anyway." With a few people, Enbo slowly approached the house.

When he arrived at the door, looking at the house that looked a little gloomy and dilapidated in broad daylight, Enbo also spun around a little, but he still had the courage to call out Uncle Aesop.

There was no response, and the children looked at each other before Embo stepped forward and pushed the door open.

The squeak startled several children. Fortunately, during the day, the sunlight shone into the house, faintly shining out of the living room objects, the stairs facing the door, the phone and photos on the wall, and the sofa in the living room, which were not covered with dust, and there were obviously traces of human life.

"I'll just say, there's no ghost. Hmph, let's go in and have a look. Embo was much bolder, and walked straight through the door.

Aesop called out again. But there was still no response, and Embo craned his neck curiously, and poked through the porch to look at the kitchen on the left.

The gloomy kitchen is littered with cooking utensils in the corners. But there stood a figure, hidden in the darkness, motionless. It's a little weird.

"Uncle Aesop, I'm Embo, do you remember me?" Enbo shrugged his shoulders to the children, motioned to you, where are the ghosts, aren't the people here, and stepped forward.

By the light shining through the door, this one approached, and Enbo saw that the dark shadow was indeed a man, with his back to him, wearing a long-sleeved shirt and jeans, motionless, as if he had thought about it in front of the wall, which was very strange.

There was another strange call, and the figure suddenly turned around.

Yes!

Seeing this man's face clearly, Enbo couldn't help but scream.

The gray and tangled hair, the face seemed to have no flesh, the skin and bones, as if the whole person was weathered and shriveled, and the two cloudy eyeballs bulged exaggeratedly, and turned around, and were opening their mouths, staring blankly at Enbo.

Enbo could see clearly that the man's mouth was covered with blood, as if he had bitten an animal alive, and his mouth was covered with blood but had not been cleaned.

"I ......" Embo only knew that this was Aesop's home, but he didn't know that Aesop had become what she was in front of her, and that she was still a person, a living dead.

That's right, it's the living dead, Enbo felt, and this was not a living person at all, but a dead person, but a living dead who could still move.

The next moment, Aesop, who seemed to smell something, slowly turned his head, staring directly at Enbo, and the group of children behind him, the gray and cloudy eyes, and the feeling of saliva sticking between the teeth with the upper and lower jaws open and closed, like the feeling of seeing prey.

Suddenly, Aesop's stiff limbs moved with incredible speed, like a jumping cheetah, and directly pounced on Enbo.

There was a sound of flesh and bones being bitten, and the children behind were stunned as they watched the blood splashed on their faces, and they were all stupefied, until Aesop raised his head again, revealing half of his ears, that the children screamed and rushed out of the room.

……

Downing Street, a senior meeting of the British Cabinet, Prime Minister McLaan is watching a video with his cabinet.

The video was filmed two days ago in a small town west of Glasgow. Due to the relative closure of the town, the news did not spread throughout the country at the first time, and at the same time as we received the news, we have urgently closed the news, and under the cover of military exercises, the local area has been blocked, and soldiers have been sent into the local area to search the situation, so far no more news has come out. Defense Secretary Grantham briefed the story.

On the video footage, there is a fixed-angle street traffic camera, and you can see that the intersection is full of cars that have collided with each other, and the crowd is screaming and running, chasing after them one by one, and the strange humans who move quickly like animals.

This scene is like a real-life Resident Evil, the dawn of the living dead.

……

However, this high-level meeting was half a month before the alliance between China and Abyeh had been formed, and Britain had remained silent in the storm of war all over the world, in large part because of the potential crisis at home.

West of Glasgow, in a small town called Hodgson, the night is thick, and the air is filled with a faint fog, which makes the vision somewhat obstructed, and several soldiers in heavy chemical hazmat suits are walking slowly with weapons in their hands.

"Record, deep into the infected area on the fifth day. Today we encountered a wave of corpses, and once again confirmed that this mutant corpse will be attracted to the sound and take the initiative to attack, we lost two people, lost a few medical kits and some supplies, and lost the communicator, but this is not a problem, because this place has a lot of mobile phones left behind, and there are supermarkets everywhere. ”

"Documented, the ninth day of penetration into the infected area. So far, no source of infection has been found, no survivors have been found, unfortunately, we met Edward, he has been infected, he has become a zombie, as a last resort, I shot him, may he rest in peace. ”

"Record. Thirteen days into the infected zone is not a good day, we are already a little exhausted, but there doesn't seem to be any intention of us to get out of the trimming. We knew more people had been sent in, as if investigating something, and we met a group of companions and listened to them. The infected area seems to be expanding, and the number of infected people is increasing dramatically, damn it. Is the movie going to be recreated, it's a nightmare, and I wish the whole world knew what was going on here. ”

……

It's still Downing Street, McLaan has lost a lot of weight, this mess in the country has not been solved, the expanding infection area makes him sit on pins and needles, he feels that he is now sitting on a powder keg that is about to explode at any time, paper can't contain the fire, and with the expansion of the infection area, the blockade of news will become more and more difficult. McLaren had even heard the news that someone from within the government was passing the news out.

It happened that Hua Guo and Abye had formed an alliance and the whole world was in chaos, and everything that happened made McClen extremely anxious and didn't know what to do.

"Prime Minister, according to the current rate of infection, in less than two months, 70 million people in the country will be infected." Grantham's answer was even more worrisome.

McClan frowned into Sichuan characters and looked at a group of cabinet ministers: "Can anyone tell me if there is a better solution now?" ”

The source of the infection has not yet been investigated, and it is not clear whether it is an unknown natural outbreak or some other cause, but whatever the cause, the rate of infection will continue and soon Britain will be wiped out of the world.

Home Secretary Rodney was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Prime Minister, I think it's time to make the news public and ask for help from the international community, this is no longer a crisis for us in Britain, but a crisis for humanity as a whole." ”

Zombies, biochemical viruses, this is almost a common scene in movies, and there is even a special category called zombie movies, but now, all this reality has happened, and according to the trend in the movie, there is only one end for all mankind, which is destruction.

"No, absolutely not." Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs Secretary Leslie did not hesitate to object, saying: "We have discussed this issue repeatedly, not to mention whether the people can accept it, even if the situation is really announced, if there is no solution, then the only and most feasible way is to completely destroy the entire British Isles and completely eliminate the spread of infection, is this the result you want?" ”

The British government has repeatedly discussed the solution, and on the premise of not being able to find the source of infection and the way to contain it, it seems that there is only one solution, which is to wipe out the entire British Isles from the face of the earth with nuclear bombs and other destructive weapons, so that no matter where the virus comes from, it can be completely eliminated.

And the British government feels that once this news is announced, then all countries in the world, in order to prevent the spread of infection, will definitely choose this method in the end, sacrificing a Britain and preserving the whole world, in that case, there is no doubt that Britain will be the biggest tragedy.

At this time, Davis, the Secretary of State for Transport, suddenly said: "What if we take the initiative to abandon the British Isles? ”

Grantham was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"I mean, we can try to rescue the healthy people as much as we can before the infection is fully outbreaked, evacuate all of our people, and go somewhere else to rebuild our country, and don't forget, our country is an island country, and the research has found that the hellish people can't swim, so we can leave them to fend for themselves on these islands," Davis explained. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was immediately in an uproar.

"It's easy for you to give up our country and rebuild it somewhere else, then what about the wealth accumulated in our glorious history, don't you want it, everything starts from scratch, and then there will still be the status of our British Empire in the world?" The Chancellor of the Exchequer retorted without hesitation.

Abandoning an entire country and building a new one from scratch is simply stupid and could not be more stupid.

"No, I think it works." At this moment, McClan suddenly opened his mouth, pointed to the infection map not far away, and said: "With the current opportunity, we can completely attack Western Europe, rebuild our country on the Western European continent, and even, we can still dominate the whole of Europe, guys, isn't this what we have always dreamed of?" As for these ghosts, they should be left to fend for themselves on an island surrounded by the sea. ”

ps: I don't know if you still remember the Aesop I wrote about earlier, which is the uncle who eats fish. (To be continued.) )
