89 Evacuation of Jingjiang
No one knows how many giant ants are hidden in the sewers, and once the colony returns to the surface, the evacuation operation will inevitably be interrupted, and the military and police will likely have to fight the giant ants again, and the end result will be a waste of a whole day's time!
At such a critical moment, no one dares to waste a minute or a second of their time.
The fire burned for more than 10 minutes before it was gradually extinguished, and the military quickly sealed the more than 100 sewage wells that had been ignited, completely blocking the city's drainage system.
Although this cannot prevent the giant ants from entering the city again, there is certainly no problem with delaying it for three or five days, and what the city government needs is precisely these crucial three or five days, and this time is enough to buffer and evacuate all the citizens trapped in Jingjiang.
At this time, it was already more than two o'clock in the morning, and Ye Erren, who had been busy all day and midnight, finally finished his task, and he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and the two of them couldn't even take care of going back to the dormitory, so they directly found a place on the side of the road to park, put down the seat and fell asleep.
Ye Han slept until dawn, and when he woke up, he didn't see the sun, and thought it was still early, but when he looked at the time, he found that it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning, and it was almost noon.
The two returned to the bureau for a hurried meal, solved the personal hygiene problem, and then returned to the work of evacuating the people, the main task of which was to maintain order on the platform.
Trains left the station, taking with them groups of people who were either happy, nostalgic or sad.
The next morning, Ye Han unexpectedly saw a familiar figure in the crowd, it was actually Xiao Jing who had been missing for several days!
Xiao Jing also saw Ye Han on duty, and quickly lowered his head and leaned to the side unnaturally.
It seems that after some camouflage, the original short hair has turned into a bald head, and I don't know what has been wiped on my face, it looks black and shiny, and the clothes on my body are very shabby.
Ye Han's gaze turned on Xiao Jing, and then looked at the young woman holding the child beside him, and finally his gaze fell on the young child's peak.
Seeing the child, Xiao Jing had a reasonable answer to everything he did, he refused to leave the police force, probably in order to keep the allotment and throw weapons to protect his wife and children, so he would leave quietly when the crisis came.
In this way, it is better to have no this person than to fight with a companion who cannot be entrusted with life and death.
Xiao Jing is not a qualified policeman, let alone a comrade-in-arms who can be relied on. Ye Han disdained what Xiao Jing did, but he didn't want to accuse a qualified husband and a qualified father.
Ye Han glanced at Xiao Jing deeply, sighed and looked away.
Xiao Jing let out a sigh, leaving Ye Han with a grateful look, and pulled his wife to quickly disappear into the crowd.
This was the last time Ye Han saw Xiao Jing, and since then, he has never met again in his life.
Many years later, Ye Han will still think of this not familiar colleague from time to time, Xiao Jing's face has long been blurred, and all Ye Han can remember is a husband and father who did anything to save his wife and children.
Another day passed, Zhou Yun suddenly found Ye Han and took him to a group of wounded and sick people who were about to be evacuated, where they met Lao Hu, who had not heard from him.
Lao Hu's spirit is fine, but one leg is gone, and there is a tall and thin young man who is seven points similar to him and more than one meter eight tall.
"Brother Hu, your legs ......" Zhou Yun wanted to speak and stopped.
"It's okay, the ants bitten." Lao Hu reluctantly smiled, "I'll leave now, you two be careful." ”
"I will." Zhou Yun said.
Ye Han didn't speak, just nodded vigorously.
Neither of them asked what had happened that day, and there was no need to ask more.
Although Lao Hu lost a leg, he is still alive, and that is enough.
And looking at the appearance of the father and son, there seem to be signs of reconciliation, which is definitely good news for Lao Hu.
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
The ant colony failed to enter the Jingjiang River again for more than 70 hours, and only a few giant ants were scattered in the city, causing a certain number of casualties, but every time the giant ants were exposed, they would immediately attract a strong counterattack from the military and police.
The situation outside the city was still bad, and a large number of giant ants had to be eliminated on the walls every day, but with the support of artillery and air power, the garrison guarding the walls was under no pressure.
However, as time went on, there were fewer giant ants outside the city, and there were more raised anthills in the suburbs, and the ant colony had apparently moved underground.
In order to prevent the ant colony from attacking the city again, the military and police dispatched elite soldiers and robbers to guard the main drainage line leading to the outside of the city 24 hours a day.
Although several main lines were blown up by the military, they were not blasted close to the city wall, and the distance between the explosion point and the city wall ranged from a few tens of meters to hundreds of meters.
This part of the pipe is still under the control of giant ants, which can be easily dug out of the ground if left undefended.
Fortunately, the situation has not gone in the worst direction.
According to the city government's plan, it should take three days to evacuate all citizens, but in reality only half of the plan was completed!
During this period, no one delayed the plan, but when the plan was formulated, all the citizens were treated as normal people, ignoring special groups such as the elderly, the young, the sick and the disabled!
Normal people can quickly rush to the station and evacuate by train on their own, but special groups of people need a lot of assistance, and patients, especially those who are mentally ill, not only need to be accompanied by professional medical personnel, but also need more transportation space, which further delays the time limit of the evacuation plan.
The city government originally planned to transport away the city's civilian supplies and important materials, but it was also stranded due to the delay in the evacuation plan, and it took another two days to evacuate the residents of the city.
Five days after the ant colony, the last train full of citizens left Jingjiang Station, leaving the city, with only the military, police, and some government workers left in the city.
At this time, the troops responsible for guarding the drainage pipes had already heard the sound of digging from the ground, and the giant ants could dig out the ground at any time, and the evacuation of the stranded people entered the countdown.
A flatbed train stopped at the platform, and the armored cars, flat-headed firewood, and other military vehicles that had withdrawn into the station drove to the car one by one, and all the men and soldiers did not unload their armor, and the drivers of all kinds of vehicles remained on the car, and the infantry carried self-defense weapons in the passenger car, and in less than half an hour, the fully loaded troops drove out of Jingjiang Station.
All the redundant troops in the city left by car, and the defenders on the city walls quickly withdrew and rushed to the station in various vehicles.
Mines outside the city can effectively stop the ant colony from approaching, at least for a few hours, without worrying about the giant ants catching up.
The train was about to leave the station, and Ye Han and Zhou Yun only boarded the train with the other police officers who had stayed behind until this time and left the home they had fought for a long time.
