Chapter Seventy-Six: Rescue and Justice
Rescuing some of the additional survivors was a temporary political decision made by the Vault branch in Yunhai City, even though the shelter was almost full......
People's morale is just too low.
Even, the legitimacy of the government is being strongly questioned by the population. If you have abandoned most of it today, will you abandon the next part tomorrow? This thought has been lingering in the minds of the survivors of the Vault for a long time.
There was a strong sense of disappointment and panic in the shelter, and both the people who had been invited to board the ship in advance and the original staff were uneasy.
They hide in shelters and watch the whole world being drowned little by little, the complexity of this mood is simply difficult to describe in words, and even the tendency to collective depression appears. The peaceful life is shattered all at once, and the whole world enters a state of apocalypse, in this case, even those who have obtained the qualification to survive will not be too happy, but will feel deep despair about the future.
What is the point of the majority of people dying, and a small number of people living?
Especially the original insiders and the military, the mentality of the outbreak is particularly strong. A sense of justice and faith are needed for violent institutions, and if even basic justice cannot be maintained, the small society in the shelter may collapse in the same way and fall into a state of apocalypse.
Based on these reasons, Ding Yuan, the person in charge of the Yunhai City Branch, simply issued an order to rescue the survivors, the only condition is that the rescued survivors did not commit crimes and did not commit atrocities during this period!
Saving more lives is justice!
Even if this kind of justice is deliberately created for a set of political purposes, it is better than doing nothing at all. At the very least, it can give peace of mind to those who have been rescued, who will feel that they will not be abandoned.
The ordinance quickly gained the support of the majority of the population, and in internal public opinion, it became that whoever did not support it was an act against humanity. More people means more hope!
Of course, Lu Yiming knew very well in his heart that rescuing too many people would dilute the per capita resources in the shelter, and the number of people in the shelter was limited.
But on an emotional level, when he encounters survivors, he also hopes to be able to save them. Every time he saves someone, he and the soldiers behind him can be happy for a while, and this simple and intuitive feeling is difficult to completely erase.
As for more interests, I am not in the mood to think too much.
I believe that the senior management of the institute issued this order, and they also have their own considerations, and will not make the shelter completely unsupportable.
"That's it, stop for a moment!"
The boat hid under a balcony that could barely hide from the rain, and the communication base station sent out text messages, and everyone waited silently.
[We are the Yunhai City rescue team, please reply when you receive a text message!] Report where you are and how many people need help! We will come to the rescue as soon as possible! 】
The collapse of social order is so fast, coupled with the increasingly violent floods, that the low-rise houses have been completely submerged, and every day there are a large number of deaths, floods, massacres, riots, lack of food and clothing......
When a society loses its most basic order, it is terrible.
Of course, there are bears and heroes among them, and there are also groups that have begun to live in groups on their own, and they have formed conscientious survival organizations to try to maintain the old social order.
If it weren't for the fact that the heavy rains in the sky would have endened and would have submerged the entire world, these survival organizations might have allowed humanity to get back on its feet and become civilized again.
One of Lu Yiming's basic tasks is to organize these conscientious survivors and recruit them into the shelter.
Of course, two months have passed since then, and there are not many such organizations.
"Still no reply?"
"No, probably because the signal is too bad......"
"Wait another minute, if not, let's change the location."
It is difficult to argue whether the government was wise or selfish in the first place when it concealed everything and built a huge "ship". But now that I think about it, if I don't hide it, maybe not a single ship can be built, and now I can survive a part of the population, especially a large number of technical backbones and scientists, which is always good.
"Huh...... Is that! ”
A sharp-eyed warrior was shocked when he saw a piece of red clothing floating on the current. His eyes began to become confused, and he wanted to crouch down and scoop up the clothes.
Suddenly, a throwing knife shot out, slicing a silver lightning bolt through the raindrops.
The high-speed knife stabbed the floating red garment, and a scream rang out.
"Ahh
Suddenly, many soldiers felt dizzy and faintly wanted to vomit.
This is the most common type of psychic attack.
Blood seeped out of the "garment" and dyed all the surrounding water bodies red, and the blood quickly disappeared under the heavy rain.
Lu Yiming wiped the sweat from his face, he was able to discover this dangerous and inexplicable strange creature in advance, which was naturally a dangerous omen provided by the ceramic shards after they were heated.
The ceramic fragments are really easy to use in this complex environment, allowing him to avoid many disasters in advance.
"Xiao Guo, how are you?"
This little soldier named Guo Weiqiang broke out in a cold sweat, he didn't know what happened to him just now, he just wanted to get that dress. Now think about it for a while.
"Take a deep breath, it's really not good to use drugs." Lu Yiming looked at the dizzy soldiers around him and spoke.
He highly suspected that this blood-clothed thing was some kind of supernatural life form with spreading properties, at least B-class!
Over the past few days, rescue teams have encountered more than 17 different highly aggressive supernatural lifeforms, including similar "Bloodcoats".
He swallowed, manipulated the knife with his mind, and slowly fished the "clothes" out of the water.
This thing looks like a piece of clothing from a distance, and up close, it looks like a human skin, and there are filamentous tentacles like jellyfish around it, which is weird and disgusting.
After looking closely for a while, after being stabbed by a throwing knife, this thing should have died.
"Take a metal box out and put it on the ground, be careful and don't go near it."
The metal box slowly opened under Lu Yiming's thoughts, and the knife picked up the leather coat and put it in.
The box closes slowly, and a safety lock is attached.
"Done!"
This superpower of his is so easy to use, he can manipulate metal substances, and he directly avoids a lot of risks.
The soldiers behind him were all vigilant, ready to attack at any moment.
In fact, at first they were a little unconvinced by the airborne commander, but now they have long been completely convinced, whether it is superpowers, danger perception ability, or mental resistance, they are far beyond ordinary people.
As a result, their squad did not suffer any casualties during these days.
No one wants to know what it would be like for this thing to suddenly leap up and stick to their face, touching their skin.
"Several squads have encountered this uniform-like creature, so report it and tell the surrounding teams to be careful." Lu Yiming sighed in his heart, "It seems that there are no survivors in this place, let's go." ”
Now the human ability really can't fully deal with this kind of supernatural event with transmissibility, anyway, it is already a good thing to bring the specimen back.
