Provincial capital.

Inside one of the most majestic buildings.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, a man in a formal suit is looking out. His back was straight, and silver strands were faintly visible in his hair. After a while, he spoke, "Say it." ”

Behind him, a young man looked at the folder in his hand and said, "Three pilot cities, as of now, there are three life communities that can be observed in City A: one is concentrated by the sea, one is urban, and one is mountainous.

Among them, there are traces of life communities on the seaside moving towards the urban area. It is worth noting that they did not choose transportation and all on foot. ”

The person by the window whispered: "City A is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and there is a mountain on one side, and there is only one highway and one national highway leading to the outside. Sure enough, the most primitive non-intervention is to lose their minds, and their current strength should be terrifying, right? ”

"As a result of the drone's observation, these mutants who act on instinct no longer kill indiscriminately, and it seems that they only hunt when they are hungry. ”

The man by the window muttered, "Humans are the only hunters who kill when they are not starving. Could it be that the ultimate goal of evolution is to return to animal instincts? Intellectual degradation? ”

There was silence in the room for a moment, and the person in front of the window continued: "What about City B?" ”

"The forests in City B are becoming more and more lush, and the drones sent out yesterday have not found any traces of human activities."

"According to the current situation in City A, the development of survivors in City B should be similar to that of City A, and the instinct of animals will look for hiding places. The killers and the evaders are of the same kind, although now ......

The most famous cave in City B is the water cave, and it is said that there are still some undeveloped dry caves in it. City B also has the highest vegetation coverage in our province......"

After waiting for a while, he continued to ask, "City C, live up to expectations." ”

"Yes, the electricity, water, and gas in City C were partially restored yesterday. After that, Li Li in City C organized a group of people, and our people did not find out the whereabouts of those people, only that they also transferred a group of people from the research institute.

Also, the two autonomous counties of City C have not been effectively rescued, and our people have blocked the two main routes to the city. It is expected that the food in the urban area of City C will run out of food within two weeks. ”

The person at the window nodded: "Strengthen the security around City C, and open the border between City A and City B." ”

After the young man left, the man by the window stood for a long time before he whispered, "History will remember your sacrifice." ”

Will history remember? Will the sacrifices of ordinary people who have not left any names or even traces of existence be remembered?

In the Heping Garden, Zhang Hao, Brother Qiang and Dong Xiao sat at the table for dinner, their faces slightly drunk.

"Lao Dong, what do you say they are going to do by picking out all the best people here, how can I be so upset." Zhang Hao squinted, his cheeks flushed, and said with drunkenness.

At this point, there is no spicy at all, only a mellow taste, and people can't help but taste it one bite after another.

Dong Xiao picked up the liquor in front of him, took a big sip, and tasted it in his mouth for a while before letting the wine slowly slide down his throat.

"The most powerful one, Brother Hao, what do you think?" Dong Xiao drank the wine, and couldn't help but show some posture of being in a higher position, and finally became less respectful to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao didn't pay attention, his mind was a little wandering. He had been wondering all day, tossing and turning, and he was anxious to find someone to vent his inner uneasiness.

"I think? I think they're hiding something from us. Zhang Hao snorted, he was a little dizzy, the smell of wine came up, he touched his body, and Brother Qiang handed over a cigarette.

"Lao Dong, you have seen more of the world than us, tell me, what are they hiding from us?" Brother Qiang lit a fire for Zhang Hao, and then handed Dong Xiao a cigarette.

Dong Xiao waved his hand, and Brother Qiang was not reluctant, so he gave himself an order. There was a faint smoke in the room.

"I'll draw you a map." Dong Xiao pushed away the dishes, revealing an open space on the tabletop, his fingers dipped in wine, and sketched on the table.

"This is our provincial map, this is the provincial capital, this is our city, this is the surrounding area. You can see where it is. ”

Zhang Hao and Brother Qiang both aimed.

"Our city, the urban area is here, it's just so big, to the east, there are two autonomous counties that divide into two roads, the population is concentrated, and the surrounding areas are mountains.

To the north, you're familiar with the city's topography, and the entire city is almost surrounded by mountains. To the south, the city is more enclosed, surrounded by the sea on three sides and the mountains on the other. Looking at it this way, what do you see or not? ”

Zhang Hao and Brother Qiang are no strangers to the provincial map, but they don't understand Dong Xiao's map alone.

"Our city is surrounded by these two cities, what's wrong? Hasn't it always been this way? Zhang Hao wondered.

"What about this place?" Dong Xiao drew a part of the map outward, "Here, it's not our country." ”

Zhang Hao and Brother Qiang looked down at the map for a while, and only then did they look up when the wine slowly evaporated, and there was no trace of the map in sight.

"These three places are connected, only the urban area of our city is the closest to the provincial capital, but the urban area of our city is a little bit larger, and the largest area is still two autonomous counties surrounded by mountainous areas.

Before the chaos, I also had some connections, and I heard about the build-up of troops in the provincial capital and these cities. At that time, I thought that something big would happen in those cities, or that our small city would be safe.

Looking at it now, I misjudged. It is true that the army is disbanded because there is going to be turmoil, to quell the chaos, and to save people. No one came to our small city, not because there was no chaos, but because it was abandoned. ”

Thinking of the place he thought was safe, Dong Xiao couldn't help but laugh mockingly.

"At the beginning, I also knew that there was such a disease, and I thought that a big city like the provincial capital was densely populated, and there were more dangers. Moreover, when you go out, you must always have a place to stay, and it is good to be well prepared at home.

Our city is only an hour away from the provincial capital, and the surrounding rural areas are sparsely populated, and no matter how poor it is, we can still take refuge in the county seat. ”

Zhang Hao was surprised: "I've always wondered why the army gathered to save people and didn't care about us here." We are also a heavy industry city, with steel mills and aluminum factories and several heavy industry enterprises. No, it's not that it doesn't matter, those companies are not all good, except for the suspension of production. ”

"Isn't there always someone from the J side watching from the company? How can it be considered that there is no army? Brother Qiang shook his head and disagreed.

"Brother Qiang, in addition to the enterprise, can Party J manage our people's livelihood?" Dong Xiaoqian asked Brother Qiang obliquely.

Brother Qiang was stunned, "Captain Li has been in charge." ”

"Yes, Captain Li has been in charge, but how many people are under Captain Li?" Dong Xiao said again, "No matter how small our city is, there are millions of permanent residents in the urban area, and there are dozens of people under him?" ”
