Chapter 464: A Thousand Miles of Fleeing Tide
Karachi, Pakistan, in the early hours of December 27.
Standing on the platform of a dilapidated building, Xu Changqing watched the third round of scattered beam strikes launched by the arsenal ship against the alien sea monsters in the Taiwan Strait.
It happens to be the darkest hour of the day, and the ultra-high-energy beam flowing down from space is so dazzling, like a heavenly knife cutting through the night, projecting diagonally from the sky.
Although it is only a few seconds before and after, it must be said that this kind of wonder feels beautiful and shocking every time you look at it, just like watching a super-large fireworks, and it is difficult to get bored.
His gaze retracted from the east, and Xu Changqing's gaze fell back to Pakistan's first port city.
It has been completely destroyed by the fighting. Miniature hydrogen bombs made by base ships have been put into Karachi clearance warfare, and the results have been good.
A nuclear warhead rocket with a warhead not much larger than an RPG warhead can destroy a standard model nest and incinerate nearly all organic matter to ashes.
The only problem with the use of this is that the firing range is shorter and the security is poor.
But the protective ability of the mecha suit is strong enough, as for the battle armor, as a device, it has no human rights, so there is no need to think too much.
The huge underground lair in Karachi is a super production base, and Xu Changqing even saw a sea monster in cultivation here.
It is probably because the alien creatures eat people in this area so smooth that they are not afraid of losing money and dare to wave in order to win a higher and greater profit.
As a result, one loses almost all of the chips previously earned.
The earth overturned, the walls collapsed, the whole city burned in the flames of war, and the winter rain flying in the sky was like oil, making the fire even more open and clawed, rolling and raging.
The battleframe troops are evacuating this area in an orderly manner, and under Xu Changqing's retinal imaging display, it represents the downward green of their own troops, and the farthest distance from him is only 3.5 kilometers, and it is still rapidly shortening, and the farther place is a blank, only the scenery, and there is no longer a mark.
The battle was over 40 minutes ago, and the last ones to be evacuated were ordered to search for useful resources.
Warframe units need to collect these resources scattered around for equipment repair and production.
At the beginning, according to the worst-case scenario, the Warframe was a one-time consumable, and when it was consumed, the Earth would almost completely fall.
However, the Federation's performance on the home planet is a mess, and a large number of people are dying on the way to evacuate instead of fighting for survival, which is completely out of his mind. That atmosphere of fighting for the last drop of blood to survive? The emotions of the people have not been mobilized, their courage has not been awakened, they are either slaughtered like pigs and sheep, or they only dare to attack the weaker in their kind, which is not possible.
Since ordinary means cannot arouse the courage to fight, then it is better to stimulate with the whip of death.
More than 70 million people are being rescued.
In fact, it's more like a self-salvation.
The army of the outer city-states, which are dominated by the commanders of the Earth Sect, really brings only one, and that is order, an order that is as hot as fire and as hard as steel.
The rest, in fact, were advocated by the foreign city-states, or even simply organized spontaneously.
A temporary Refugee Management Committee was formed, with its main members selected by the foreign city-states and also self-nominated.
Xu Changqing has obtained the population big data of the federation and has a relatively objective understanding of every citizen of the federation.
This is because the outer city-states have done something that the Federation was unwilling to do before, and the conditions did not allow it to do, that is, to profile every citizen in the jurisdiction through big data.
Even if it is only for the population in the jurisdiction, the amount of computation is too large, so the data is transmitted back to Trilad, and the information is processed by the giant brain computer there.
Therefore, except for those black households, there is basically no waste of talent among citizens who have outstanding talents but are put in the opposition.
It is often a group of people who are walking with their faces turned around, and a certain aircraft is approaching, and then there will be character projections and related shouts: "Wei Xuan, you have been requisitioned, please assemble at the cursor with your family." ”
Then the aircraft shoots a clearly visible light, and when the people arrive, they will pick it up.
At first, people were still scared, but over time, they understood that this was a good thing. Once recruited, the most basic issues such as clothing, food, housing, transportation, and safety are all solved immediately, and even help find lost relatives, as long as the other party is in the fleeing crowd, they can basically be found.
The first to be established was the intelligence and information agency, which used an ultimate identification device for the public, with a neck chip implanted.
This thing is cheaper than a smart bracelet, just like an immune injection, use an injection gun to stagnate on the correct part for three seconds, and a minimally invasive surgery is done, which is quite efficient.
Originally, human beings in this era are widely used mobile phones, which can be said to be real mobile phones in hand, I have them in the world, and others can't use them, specially designed to not have the possibility of flashing, the main chip can only write data at one time, and then brush it will be scrapped directly, and the main value of the mobile phone is in it.
However, there is a premise for this usage, that is, the legal system is sound and the law is enforced in a timely manner.
In troubled times like this, a gun against the door of the head, according to my request to exchange all the credit points for physical objects, has become a crime that happens all the time, and the original usage has been cracked.
What's more, it is a carry-on item after all, and there is a possibility of loss or damage.
Of course, the chip also has its drawbacks, the most important thing is the destruction of personal privacy by high supervision, which is like a recognition ring on a sheep's ear, which is indeed not easy to make mistakes, and there is also a positioning function, but there is also a monitoring function.
It's just that human dignity has been trampled on repeatedly, and life is as low as grass, so this kind of violation of privacy has been recognized by pinching its nose.
In fact, it is difficult to say whether you need to pinch your nose or not. Now that a large number of refugees from the north are heading south, because the earth's high, medium and low altitude orbits are still under the control of the Federation, and the communication is unimpeded, the northerners know what kind of policy the foreign city-states are implementing in the south, and they are still willing to go south instead of going west along the ancient Silk Road, which is very telling.
In fact, Kazakhstan, an important refugee country, is in a very bad situation.
Due to the higher latitude, vegetation is relatively scarce, and it is now very cold and windy. It's the kind of white-haired wind that made the herdsmen of the past smell it.
In such a harsh environment, without good warmth measures, and no hot food, the only result is frostbite and freezing to death. Even the cold air alone can quickly kill those who are relatively weak due to frostbite in their lungs and lack of timely treatment and remission.
Kazakhstan is also far from ready to welcome such a large number of refugees. This is different from the situation when the Syrian civil war and refugees fled to Europe, how many people were there, and this is a large evacuation in hundreds of millions of units, and the number of people is really like a tide.
Especially in the main passages, such as Zhangye, Jiuquan, Hami, Turpan, and Yili, standing on the top of the mountain casually, no matter how high the mountain, the vision is urgent, there are a vast number of people and vehicles, and the sound of vehicles and boiling voices far overshadow the whistling wind.
Anyone who takes on the role of a manager can die of sorrow just thinking about how to send something to these people. And even if there are several mountains of supplies, they are not enough.
It's that exaggerated.
This exaggeration began when the inhabitants evacuated the city.
Although we usually brag about how good our urban roads are, extending in all directions, and how fast the Shinkansen is, as long as you take a small notebook, calculate the road flow, and then calculate the urban population, you will find that the bigger the city, the more like a teapot without a lid.
Usually, the population flows out little by little, far less than the total population. Just like the capital of the Celestial Empire in 2017, it was a metropolis with a population of more than 10 million. During the rush hour, about 650,000 people leave the capital area to live in nearby counties, counting all directions, and they are often blocked to death. This is still in order, without major traffic accidents.
Imagine what it would be like to build an elevated road in the same place, with skybuses on board, and still congestion.
And in this world, there are many such metropolises, otherwise how can 26 billion people be squeezed out? To know which forests and wetlands cannot be destroyed casually, which are the lungs of the earth, it is too late to control the environment and protect it, where will it be allowed to be cut down? Then it can only be covered high, and there is indeed that technology anyway.
Therefore, it is extremely difficult to squeeze out the city, once the main intersection is stuck, the flow immediately becomes a small water pipe, and the coastal metropolis of the Free Celestial Empire basically fell like this, the army is not strong, and the main passage is occupied by alien creatures, and it immediately becomes a dumpling in a teapot.
Then the alien creatures continued to increase their troops, and the passage could not be taken back, and the more it delayed, the more hopeless it became.
At that time, if you don't want to give up, you have to give up, just by calculating the population flow rate per unit of time, you know that it will definitely not work.
Of course, this is a process of grasping the big and letting go of the small, there are still scattered refugees escaping, the sooner you leave, the more hopeful, once it's late, you will encounter the advance of the alien soldiers, the army spreads, it's like a net, and the ordinary people who drag their families can't run away from the monster at all, don't look at the monster starting late, and it's not a quick march, and there will be sporadic battles.
Sharpening knives does not mistakenly chop wood, energy consumption, foot travel, work and rest, logistics, these are calculated, it is clear at a glance whether to chase or not, those who got rid of the monster two or three distances in advance, and then gradually caught up with the examples are not counted.
Many refugees are puzzled as to why the monster is advancing so quickly. In fact, they themselves are slow. There are simply not enough roads, and the mountains are full of people. Walking in the wilderness is no better than taking an asphalt road, not to mention that ordinary people lack a macro concept of trekking, and do not understand that the road is never driven out.
So the days before and after Christmas are the most testing time, which is why robbery and other behaviors are getting more and more intense in these days, they mess up themselves, and they use violence to transfer the problem to other people.
Tragedy happens every day, every day someone dies, or whatever corner. And the official can only look at the main traffic artery, like the kind that passes through the forest and the wilderness, it can't be controlled at all.
The road is always congested, not a straight line, and a long queue stops from time to time, which feels like it's not as fast as walking.
But if you really want to calculate, in fact, you still have to take the road fast. It's just that people are sometimes prone to perceptual mistakes, and those who are impatient choose to abandon the car, and both sides of the road are full of cars that have been abandoned for one reason or another.
However, most of these cars will still be used, for example, as a house.
If you stand on the side of the road and observe, you will find that there seems to be an endless flow of people, day or night, and then sometimes suddenly the pot will be fried, adults howl, children cry, scatter and run, push and trample on each other, curse and curse. This is usually a monster attacking the escape line, which in turn causes a panic wave.
Although it is already a rumor, there are few oolong situations, because the communication is still normal, and you can know the general situation when you can receive the news, and it will not get out of control because of some people's suspicions.
In addition, there is another thing that can reassure people to a certain extent, that is, every once in a while, there will be a Federation aircraft flying by, or landing nearby, that is, someone has obtained a refuge ticket in a random screening, and the Federation aircraft has come to pick up people.
When this happens, it means that the Federation still exists, and people still have a glimmer of hope to comfort their restless fears and worries.
At such a time, it is natural that scammers are rampant, what groups are heating mutual aid groups, and what are free materials to be distributed......
It's basically fake, they all want to step on others and figure themselves out.
Sometimes there are also some reliable ones, such as summoning mechanics, repairing aircraft, and then leaving together or something.
Flying machines in this era,The popularity can be compared with the popularity of private cars in the Celestial Empire in 2005,It can be said that there are a few,Although most of them are just ground effect aircraft,And can't go to high altitude,But that's also flying,Just this,It's very attractive。
And since Christmas, Xu Changqing has officially felt the pressure of the surging crowd, in fact, it is precisely because of this that the style of the Hunting Association is urgently on stage......
