Chapter 10: The Commander
After a while, Director Lin was overjoyed and said, "Since you can hear so far, you should be able to hear that there are still people in various regions who are not stranded."
After listening carefully, Conglu replied: "The pair of people in the west of the city don't need to be searched anymore, except for the 17 children in the herd, there are no living people in that area."
"17 children! Are they still alive? Director Lin's voice was a little excited.
From the road shook his head and sighed! The children are not dead, but they are no different from dead.
"It's still alive, but if you want to save them, you have to go through the herd. And it must not cause a commotion, otherwise it is easy to cause a stampede. ”
As soon as he heard that the children were still alive, Director Lin quickly got up and went straight to the 3rd floor with him.
"I'll take you into the command center now, and then you will be responsible for directing the search and rescue work in various places."
I slipped at the foot of the road and almost didn't fall down the stairs.
"You, you, you're not kidding me."
"When has this been, I still have the heart to joke with you."
"I'm just a little commoner, shouldn't this kind of thing to save the world be done by big people like you!"
"Everyone has the responsibility to defend the country, so it's hard for you to bear to die and not save it."
"Little hero, you can agree, as the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." The voice sounded familiar.
From the road, I remembered that this was the little brother of the soldier who escorted him here before, and I didn't know why he trusted him so much.
During the pulling, the two had already arrived at the command center on the third floor.
Before he could get his consent, Director Lin pushed him onto the command platform of the center.
"This is Comrade Conglu, and he will take over as the commander here, responsible for the search and rescue command of all urban areas across the country."
It seemed that he couldn't hide, so he had no choice but to respond to Director Lin's instructions.
Although he was reluctant to sit in this position, looking at the adoring eyes of hundreds of people in the audience, Conglu's mood was still very beautiful.
Especially the two female police officers next to her. Although they are just a bunch of white bones in everyone's eyes, they know from the road that they are definitely two beauties comparable to A-list stars, because nothing can escape his law.
"Report to the chief, the Chengxi Search and Rescue Team requests instructions from superiors."
He turned his head from the road to look at Director Lin, but he held his hands in front of his chest, looking like he had nothing to do with himself.
"You are the supreme commander, you have the final say on how to save people."
I didn't expect the famous Lin Shu to be such a person! But there is no way, it is impossible to see death without help.
Command issued!
"Connect with the rescue team in the west of the city."
"Yes!"
"Next, everyone is at my command."
"Chengxi rescue team, received!"
Soldiers are like that, they won't bargain with you, and it's their style of doing things to carry out orders as soon as they receive them.
"The rescue team is now divided into 4 groups, a group of 7 people, a group of 4 people in the second and third groups, a fourth group of 2 people, and the remaining 23 people are evacuated from the west of the city to the west section 4 of the North Fourth Ring Road."
The beautiful police officer next to her stuffed a headset into Conglu's ear, but there was no sound in the headset.
Conglu ignored it and continued to order: "No sound is allowed in the next operation, everything will be carried out according to my command."
It's not that the rescue team members are too loud to cause panic in the herd, and once the herd is in chaos, no one can save those children.
At this moment, both the soldiers of the rescue team and the staff of the command center were confused.
There was no time for everyone to wonder, and the instructions continued.
"Each group has one person in line, a group of team members stretch out their right hand and point to the herd, 15 degrees to the right, yes, then go up 12 degrees, so as to maintain the posture, the distance is 780 meters, and the group will set off immediately after locking the target."
The people in the command center didn't think the instructions from the road were very clever, but the 17 people in the rescue team were stunned at the moment.
They couldn't figure out how this commander did it. One command and one action, each command is exactly the same, as if the commander himself is on the scene, and there is no need for verbal communication at all.
The command continues.
"Second group of players, don't be in a daze of second group members."
"35 degrees to the left, yes, 15 degrees down, don't move, over, 2 degrees up, okay, keep the posture, the distance is 940 meters, and the two groups will set off immediately after locking the target."
"A group of team members, please note that there are two tigers about 35 meters in front of you on the right, try to avoid contact with them."
Hearing this, the two beautiful police officers reacted. The two of them looked back at Director Lin behind them almost at the same time, and then made a gesture used by the army. Director Lin nodded, and the two of them immediately turned their heads to look at the new commander with a look at a monster.
Although Conglu didn't know what their movements meant, nothing could escape his ears.
Judging from their chaotic breathing and excited heartbeats, you can tell what they have just been talking about.
From the road, the two beautiful police officers must be saying, "Director, this commander is so handsome, I want to give him a monkey!" ”
Then Director Lin nodded and said, "You really have vision. ”
Although he was snickering in his heart, the command work still had to continue, "The three groups raised their hands, 17 degrees to the right, and then 25 degrees up, so as to maintain their posture, 930 meters away, and set off." ”
Followed by four groups, after everyone locked the rescue target, there was basically nothing to do with him, just need to remind them of the situation around them in a timely manner.
It sounds like an easy one, but it's not.
At this moment, if the situation of the 17 warriors who are trapped in the herd can be seen, I don't know how many girls will cry.
The team members seemed to be a little sluggish, just because they weighed dozens of pounds more than usual. Not because they've gained weight, but because they're already crawling with all sorts of insects, and every step they take is a disgusting pile of insect corpses.
"Report chief, Academician Li, please go up." Soldiers face from the road.
The reason why he reported to Conglu was because he couldn't tell who Director Lin was. In his eyes, the entire command center was full of identical white skeletons, and Conglu happened to be standing in the C position.
"Lead the way."
In this way, Director Lin was summoned away, if it weren't for the two beauties next to him, he would definitely strike directly from the road. Such a big stall was thrown to him alone, but he flashed first.
In the conference room on the 6th floor, Academician Li and Minister Liu didn't know why there was a dispute.
"You're careless of human life." This voice full of grief and indignation belongs to Academician Li.
"Do you want to send the whole of China into a panic?" This voice full of helplessness is Minister Liu's.
Academician Li glared at Minister Liu and said, "Have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?" ”
Minister Liu waved his hand and said, "Then have you ever thought about the consequences of your actions?" ”
"They have the right to know."
"What can we do if we let them know, we should now find a way to calm people's hearts."
Academician Li pointed at Minister Liu with a trembling right hand and said, "You are a careless person." ”
"It's all death anyway, so why bother the country."
"What's the trouble?!" Director Lin pushed open the door of the conference room and asked.
"No, nothing troublesome." Minister Liu's words obviously have little confidence.
"Lao Lin, you are here."
Feeling the atmosphere in the conference room, Director Lin frowned and said, "What's going on?"
Academician Li explained: "According to the report from the underground, except for the earliest group of people who have not been exposed to dark rays, all those who have been exposed to dark rays will dissipate as soon as they enter the underground."
"How is this possible?"
"Although I don't know what the reason is, judging from the current situation, as long as people who have been exposed to dark rays, first, they must not touch the light, and second, they must not leave the range of dark rays, otherwise they will disappear immediately."
The two really couldn't figure out what the reason was.
"Now is not the time to think about this, we should terminate the project right away."
Minister Liu shouted: "No, there are only 150,000 sets of protective clothing in the city. According to statistics, there are still more than 9.7 million people outside the underground fortress, and so far they can still line up obediently outside the gates of the underground fortress, because they still have hope of survival, if they know that only 150,000 people will survive, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Director Lin slapped the table and angrily reprimanded, "You don't have this right!" ”
"The matter has come to this point, and the news will be released to the western region immediately. Let them ensure that as many people as possible can evacuate to safe areas such as forts, subway stations, underground parking lots, etc., before the dark rays arrive. ”
With that, Director Lin immediately left the conference room.
"Arrange a car for me to Fort 1 within 3 minutes, bring the media and prepare the information center for the live broadcast."
"Yes!"
Fifteen minutes later, Director Lin arrived outside the gate of Fort 1.
Without any foreshadowing, Director Lin stood on the high platform and picked up the microphone and directly identified himself: "Hello comrades! I am Lin Shu, Director of the Astronomical Bureau. I am sorry that as the director of the Astronomical Bureau, I was not able to detect the crisis in space at the first time, and I failed to live up to the expectations of the people. ”
"Director Lin, we support you!"
"We've got your back!"
The call attracted the attention of Conglu, who continued to direct the search and rescue work in various places, and at the same time paid some attention to listen to Director Lin's speech.
Looking at the thousands of white skeletons in the audience, Lin Shu didn't feel the slightest sense of fear, and what filled his heart was deep guilt.
"I'm sorry! Before the disaster struck, I didn't catch the crisis in time. ”
"I'm sorry! When disaster struck, I couldn't evacuate everyone in time. ”
"I'm sorry!"
Three sorry in a row, and every time he said sorry, Director Lin would bow deeply. Feeling that Director Lin still had something to say, the audience quickly quieted down.
"I'm sorry! At this time, not only can I not save everyone, but I have to tell you the worst news. ”
"Since there are only 200,000 sets of protective clothing in the city, we decided to use 50,000 of them with rescue teams and distribute the other 150,000 to various underground fortresses."
"Our plan was to divide the underground fortress into two areas. One area will be powered normally to contain people who have not been exposed to the Dark Rays, while the other will remain completely dark to contain those who have been exposed to the Dark Rays. ”
"But what we didn't expect was that those who had been exposed to the dark rays like us would disappear as soon as they entered the underground fortress."
"I'm sorry! The worst news I have to tell you is that only 200,000 of the 9.7 million people stranded in the city after two hours will survive. ”
"I'm sorry!"
"I have lived up to the country's cultivation of me, and I have also failed to live up to the expectations of the people of the whole country for me, if you have any dissatisfaction in your hearts, you can scold me, you can beat me, even if you kill me, it doesn't matter, I just hope you can accept this cruel reality."
Director Lin bowed again.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, we will see you in the next life!"
all said, "Men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place." "I can't imagine that Director Lin, who is ironclad in the eyes of the people of the whole country, will also have a day when he can't hold on.
He didn't feel his tears, nor did he notice that the voice he spoke was any different from his usual voice, but everyone but himself could hear his guilt and sadness.
