Chapter 14 (II)
86_86900Although the mobile phone has no signal, there is still time. Seeing that it was already half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and there were several hours before the chaos broke out, according to the descriptions of many people who went out and came in, the tragedy on the street was even worse, which means that the government should have been caught off guard.
Many people have not waited for themselves to settle down, and they have begun to worry about the safety of their family and friends, and the hunger of their stomachs has accelerated people's anxiety.
However, God seemed to be particularly unpleasant to the people, and a frightened cry came from inside the building.
Song Botao, who had been paying attention to the situation for a long time, immediately made a decision and let several young people who were ready rush into the office area where the wounds were temporarily treated, and directly locked the two exits. All the volunteers who treated the wounds had been advised to leave, but there was no further casualty.
As for the door of the office where the deceased was placed, there was no need to look at it.
The worst happened.
Although Song Botao immediately gave the order, looking at the doors that represented the separation between life and death, listening to those terrible roars and cries for help, his heart sank into endless darkness. Among those doors, there was Yuan Qing'an, and several of them were his good brothers, who were all working hard to save people just now, and they were still bitten by monsters.
Chen Qiuxuan, who had been waiting for the results next to him, heard the final result and retreated silently. Yiqiē fulfilled her prophecy, but it was the last thing she wanted.
People awakened by a new round of screaming were once again in a panic, and the building, which was already packed with thousands, almost broke out.
Song Botao could only use the building radio to briefly introduce the situation to everyone: the dead and the injured have become new monsters.
People who have just escaped from their horror also feel the taste of despair - it seems that it is difficult to live as a difficult thing to do.
Gradually, the sound of qiē slowly disappeared, and the wailing in the room tended to be nothing, and people could only listen to the sound of monsters banging on the door outside, as well as the sound of their own breathing, smelling the smell of blood that seemed to be engraved in their bones, waiting to be sentenced.
Chen Qiuxuan looked at Liu Xiaowan who was relying on herself in a daze, this is a little girl who has just graduated, a little introverted, but she studies very hard, that kind of tenacious and lovely character, let herself unconsciously pity, and also cultivate her. But this catastrophe, which I don't know how big it is, may have changed the trajectory of most people's lives since then, what will the future look like?
It's already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Even if people are hungry and panicked, they can't find all kinds of food to satisfy their appetites as naturally as they did the day before.
Some people stared at the screen of their mobile phones, not knowing whether to look at the time or wait for the signal to recover.
Song Botao and several security guards took turns to rest. As a soldier with combat experience, it is also a must for them to be able to rest at any time and maintain enough energy to deal with unknown situations.
At this moment, Song Botao is drinking a little pure water per capita, people can starve, but they can't help but replenish water.
Suddenly, the irregular crashing outside the door disappeared, and the sound of some gunfire and heavy objects falling to the ground rang out.
Before people can guess, the sound of electronic horns, which used to feel extremely noisy, now sounds like a heavenly sound: "Citizens, please pay attention, citizens, please bring your important belongings and evacuate with the troops, please bring your important belongings and evacuate with the troops." ”
Song Botao knew that this was the current result: the army saved people.
Everyone quickly opened the door excitedly, and when they saw the green military uniform outside, they cheered. To say that these people who grew up in peacetime are probably the first time that they have so much to cheer about the beloved army. The neat army looked like there were thousands of people, each armed with a heavy machine gun, giving a strong sense of security.
This result made Song Botao breathe a sigh of relief, but also had a lot more worries. The dispatch of the army proves the seriousness of the situation, and such a large-scale operation can be said to be exhausted.
Without time to think more carefully, everyone rushed out, ignoring the monsters who had been blown off half of their heads by heavy machine guns, and quickly climbed into the trucks, trailers and buses prepared by the army, and the clever ones all hurried to the parking lot and drove their cars.
Song Botao, Chen Qiuxuan and others also touched some water and snacks. They are all thoughtful, take one step at a time and see three steps of people, but also more willing to believe in their own people, today's chaos, to save their lives has a result, so how to live better, is the point.
Cowering in the shoulder-to-shoulder truck, Song Botao listened to all kinds of quarrels, fights, and the sound of forced mediation by the army outside, trying to empty his brain, thinking about his children and wives who were still at home. He didn't know if it was a kind of luck that the two of them didn't go out to work and school, maybe they were hiding at home and shivering, maybe they were picked up by the army, or maybe they had become monsters, unconsciously wandering around at home, these just thinking about it made the eight-foot man's heart ache, and he couldn't help himself.
Until nightfall, Song Botao found that the army had taken them to a village on the outskirts of S City, surrounded by wilderness, which was also a good place to defend easily, after all, those monsters were monsters without the ability to think, and once they appeared, they would deliver food to the army's guns.
When the army roughly divided the crowd according to gender and age, and gave them a number, everyone was arranged to live in some well-circled places. Naturally, the elderly, the weak, the sick, the sick and the pregnant were arranged in tents and even village houses, and adult men and some young women were left to sit in the open air.
Originally, Song Botao wanted to ask his wife and children if they had also been rescued, but seeing that the army was unable to sort out the data at all, it was completely extensive, so he could only lie down in silence at his residence. Anyone who has been in the military knows that disrupting the normal process is the biggest crime, and special requests can only wait until the current emergency is dealt with.
The night sky is exceptionally wide and beautiful in the wilderness, and the stars are still there, which has nothing to do with the vicissitudes of human beings.
Song Botao didn't have any romantic feelings, suppressed his worries about his wife and children, as well as his hometown parents, closed his eyes, and quickly entered a deep dream.
Many more stayed up all night.
There are very few people who can meet in the places where the army gathers, after all, the army is an administrative area divided according to the proximity, and the people in the big cities are always scattered in all directions. Now that communication is paralyzed, everyone finally understands the eagerness and worry of the ancients to pass on the book, and the life and death of relatives and friends are heavily pressed in their hearts.
No matter how tossing and turning or falling asleep in horror, time doesn't stop for anyone.
As soon as it dawned, people accustomed to the nightlife were woken up by the loud noise.
The army and the army have already deployed some supplies overnight and have begun to recruit the working population and build simple housing.
As a retired soldier, Song Botao was soon regarded as the first batch of recruited population, and was also assigned a management position for a squad.
It was also because of this position that could be sent down that Song Botao heard more news.
It's just one day, and the population of the entire city of S that was taken out by the army is only a little over 500,000, which is unbelievable compared to the 10 million people who are stationed there.
The army is still arranging for a team with sufficient force to enter the city to search for survivors, and found that some of the people are unconscious for unknown reasons, and they can't wake up no matter what, and there is no sign of turning into monsters, so they can only find a place to put them first.
Song Botao followed the command and built a simple house for three days, and then the army began to recruit military personnel and organized more search teams, on the one hand, to find survivors, and on the other hand, to retake the city.
Song Botao registered the area where his home was located, that is, the place he volunteered to go, and then was circled in a group of people looking for a partner.
At this moment, the people who can be allowed to travel are basically men in the prime of life, and they also have certain fighting skills, and the army has also given some training, such as dealing with monsters to first plug the bite with soft things, and then tie them with ropes, and the most effective way to deal with them is of course decapitation, so everyone is assigned a cold weapon that is tough enough.
Originally, it was quite smooth, and a few strong people followed the army to the designated place, and cleaned up one building after another, and indeed rescued many people who were hiding at home and shivering. A young man in his early thirties arrived near his home, but saw that his child had turned into a monster, and was caught off guard by being bitten, and the army decisively killed the two of them.
Song Botao clenched the weapon in his hand and watched indifferently as his temporary comrades-in-arms passed away.
His children and wife are still waiting for him. He can't get out of control.
But the other men couldn't stand it anymore. They are all ordinary middle-aged men, who came out regardless of life and death with their love for their families, and before they saw the joy of life, they faced the baptism of death, and the psychological defense line that was already full of anxiety almost collapsed, and they scolded the cruel soldiers, and finally the ropes that were ready to tie up the monsters were used to tie themselves and were taken back by the army.
Song Botao looked at the cold and hard faces of those soldiers, only they could understand each other how much deep responsibility and love there was in that coldness.
Song Botao kept applying to take people into the city to find his relatives.
Perhaps it is really the hearts of women who are more tenacious, many girls and even mothers, have strongly asked to join the search for people, and finally the army relented, allowing some armed women to join the search and rescue team, bringing back more gratifying results, saving many people trapped at home or in the office.
The wisdom of the masses has also greatly improved the mechanical practices of the army, and many teams that have combined strange weapons have gained the prestige of saving people.
Song Botao finally returned to his home after forming a team many times, but those messy traces could only tell him that his wife and children had left their dangerous homes and fled to the outside world, not knowing life and death.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, then no one will give up. Song Botao can only continue to participate in the rescue, expand the territory of human beings, and hope to meet again
