Chapter 10: Beyond Yecheng (I)

[This article continues from the previous volume of "Star Sea Conservation Station" is some situations outside of Ye City. 】

It was evening, the night was getting thicker, and the sunset finally couldn't bear the grinding of time, and fell into the valley, and the majestic mountain tops swallowed up the last afterglow of the sky. Soon the sky was covered with sparkling stars, and the Milky Way lay on the sky like a galaxy paved with fine quicksand. The hazy night became more mysterious, like a wide curtain, quietly covering the mountains and fields. For a moment, the mountains in the distance, the houses and trees in the vicinity, all turned from clear to blurred.

Against the backdrop of night, Humvees and military trucks on the streets of Yecheng drove by one after another. It's like a string of dazzling pearls flowing. Today, the streets of Yecheng were particularly lively, and there was a notice that the army was going to make a new community statement in the square, which could not help but attract many people to come and watch.

After dinner, Wang Meng and Zhao Yuehua also walked onto the street with sunspots. The street lamps on both sides of the road began to brighten up again, just as the sun was lit at midnight, shining on every passerby of all shapes and bounds. Heavily armed soldiers could be seen standing guard every few dozen meters on the side of the road, and there were also armed soldiers patrolling the rooftops.

"There's a lot of people today." Wang Meng said expectantly.

"I don't know when my brother will come back?" Due to his brother's departure, Zhao Yuehua was a little worried.

"Don't worry, with your Uncle Wang here, what danger can they have." Wang Meng comforted.

"Hopefully." Zhao Yuehua still said with some concern

The two followed the crowd to the vicinity of the square, which had always been the most heavily supervised place in Ye Cheng. At any given day and night, more than ten soldiers patrol the area, two tanks are stationed here, and anyone entering or leaving the area is subject to strict scrutiny. Without a pass, not even a rat can get through here.

"Hey, guys, listen to me. As the commander of this detachment, I am proud to announce that there are no more infected people within ten kilometers of the area!" Lieutenant Song Nan said happily.

After hearing the news, everyone cheered and Huo Yue applauded.

"Now the infected people around Dexian County have been basically controlled by us" Lieutenant Song Nan smiled with relief, "We are already in a situation of attacking and clearing!"

Song Nan climbed into the chariot, picked up the order Jian Xun, and stood on the roof of the chariot and read it out loud.

"Okay, please be quiet for a while, I will now read out the latest temporary community management regulations, and I hope you can listen carefully and actively cooperate with our work."

"First, until the Supreme Order is issued, the military will still impose a strict access and curfew system in the Dexian area. We apologize for any inconvenience caused during this period and ask for your understanding. ”

"Second, all local residents and asylum seekers from outside Dexian County are not allowed to climb over the fence or trespass through the gate of the checkpoint without permission for any purpose or name. It is illegal to interfere with the management of staff and destroy the facilities around Yecheng, and we will detain and control those who violate the law. We ask that you follow the rules of the community. ”

"Where did you get people outside of the community?" Suddenly, a man walked out and asked

"Sir, I'm in charge of reading, and you're in charge of listening, understand?" Song Nan stuffed the man's question

"Thirdly, we will temporarily implement new food rations, sewage treatment, medicine supplies and a new health screening system. Military personnel also regularly distribute a number of iodine tablets to each household, and all drinking water must be boiled at high temperatures before drinking.

"Chief, when will the network and communications be restored?" A woman's voice could be heard from the crowd

"Oh, I'm sorry. Our engineering staff is already working on the emergency repairs. Please wait for the notice of the recovery time" Song Nan raised the tone of his voice, trying to ease the panic of the masses about military control

"Fourth, it is strictly forbidden to enter the control area until the Biotic Force has finished disposing of hazardous substances!"

"What hazardous substances? Where do you get people outside the community? When will we be able to get out? What the hell are you doing? There were bursts of questions in the crowd, and in the face of the crowd's gossip questions, Song Nan seemed a little anxious

"Hey, listen to me, guys!" Song Nan clapped his hands timidly, trying to control the scene.

"This is one of the sixteen leaf cities in the south of Ningxi. So you are lucky that you can survive this infected crisis at home. ”

"Be content, don't force me to shoot you!" Lieutenant Song Nan let out cruel words and jumped off the infantry chariot.

"Do you believe her words?" I don't know when Meng Hu suddenly appeared next to Wang Meng.

"Oh my god!" Wang Meng and Zhao Yuehua were both startled by this sudden remark.

"Damn, when did you come, why didn't you squeak?" Wang Meng covered his beating heart and said with a slight complaint.

"What about your dad and your brother?" Meng Hu continued.

"My dad took them out in the afternoon, and they haven't come back yet, what's wrong?" Wang Meng asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just asking, I'm still wondering why you two came out today." Meng Hu looked at the two and said.

"They are busy every day, and the devil knows what they are busy with every day."

"What's the matter, I feel like you're a little unhappy?"

"After the catastrophe, you were happy to see me that day." Wang Meng clasped his arms with both hands and said resentfully.

"How are you and your brother?" Meng Hu changed the subject and asked.

"It's still like that, me every day!" mentioned his younger brother Wang Meng's expression was a little depressed.

"Oh my God, it's that look again. Since I was a child, I saw that you were depressed with this expression, and you were silent whenever you had something, can you tell me about it? Saying that, Meng Hu also clasped his arms with both hands and said in a gentle tone

"Sister, sister. Can we go over and play with them? Zhao Yuehua tugged at Wang Meng's shirt, and pointed to the children playing on the street with his finger, his eyes full of pleading.

Wang Meng looked around and made sure that there were no danger factors, and then said, "Go ahead, be careful."

"Okay, thank you, sister." Zhao Yuehua said happily.

"Jiangzi, move within the sight of me and your sister." Meng Hu admonished.

"I will, Brother Tiger." Saying that, Zhao Yuehua ran towards the group of children.

Seeing Zhao Yuehua leaving, Heizi also tried to break free from the leash and chased after him, and he kept barking at Zhao Yuehua. "Be honest." Wang Meng roared in a low voice. This low roar also made the sunspot dare not bark again, so he could only wag his tail and look at Zhao Yuehua in the distance.

"He's been arguing with me these days, sometimes petty, sometimes fierce, hurtful." Wang Meng said.

"With all due respect, Sister Lan. Sometimes you don't communicate in the right way. ”

"I just want to try to be sensible, I've been trying to cater to him, but sometimes I can't stand the tone and attitude he talks to me. God, sometimes I wish we could have a good fight and vent our tempers. Wang Meng smiled bitterly and said dejectedly.

"Don't blame yourself, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read."

"It's a bit too much to blame yourself for not being angry at yourself because your brother isn't angry with you!" This nonsensical amused the two of them.

"How are you and your sister, are you all right?" Wang Meng asked rhetorically.

"Oh, my sister and I don't have much of a problem." Meng Hu shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Because she's sensible." Wang Meng raised his eyebrows as he spoke.

"The two of us just go with the flow, and we get along quite well." Meng Hu said with a smile.

"I just like your sister's personality." Wang Meng said.

"I cater to him and hope to get back to the feeling I had when I was in school. Since his mother's death, he has changed. He became more and more irritable, cold, and rebellious. Wang Meng continued.

"I think the real reason is because of your father, we talked about it before, and I can see that he still holds a grudge against Uncle Wang."

"Maybe the only reason is because he's too young, and there are so many things that he misunderstands."

Suddenly, a brake sound interrupted the conversation between the two, and several soldiers in chemical protective suits jumped out of the truck and surrounded the small building next to the square.

"Oh my God. What are they going to do? Meng Hu looked at the soldier and said in astonishment.

Wang Meng, who realized that something was wrong, immediately called back Zhao Yuehua, who was playing next to him, although Zhao Yuehua was very reluctant, but when he saw the soldiers, he still hurriedly ran back to Wang Meng's side. Children playing on the street were also picked up by their parents.

Wang Meng saw three soldiers in chemical protective suits holding guns, examining four suspected infected people. These four people were all residents of Yecheng, two men and two women, dressed in shabby clothes, with emaciated faces and yellow skin that looked malnourished. They honestly put their hands behind their heads and knelt on the ground to accept the arrangement of fate.

"All residents immediately returned to their homes, and there is danger in the area." A police helicopter hovered over the square and shouted over its loudspeaker, and the intense white light from the searchlight shone on the crowd in the square.

"We have to go, before they block the streets." Meng Hu looked at the helicopter in the sky and said.

"Let's go, walk through the path." As he spoke, the three of them hurried away from this land of right and wrong.

The detector in the soldier's hand can quickly detect whether a person is infected, just touch it to the neck, and the result will be displayed in one second. The first man was lucky, the detector showed him to be normal, and the second man was lucky, at least for today, the Grim Reaper did not summon them. The third person was the emaciated woman, good luck did not favor her today, and the detector sounded a red alert the moment it touched her neck - she was infected.

"Catch an infected." With that, the soldier violently pushed the woman to the ground.

"No, don't!" The woman struggled desperately, but no one could save her.

A soldier pulled out a military dagger and expertly stabbed it into the woman's neck, blood gushing as the dagger was drawn, and the filthy ground was suddenly covered with a crimson liquid. Soldiers don't shoot in this situation because they don't want to waste bullets on a dying infected person.

The woman lay on the ground and struggled for ten seconds before she didn't move. The fourth man was stupefied by the scene in front of him, he knew that he was infected, but he didn't want to be slaughtered like an animal. At the moment when the detector was on his neck, the man chose to run away. This move made him die differently. The soldier immediately opened fire, and the man fell to his feet in a pool of blood.

The entire building was then covered with a large barrier marked with biochemical signs, and SWAT and soldiers quickly took over the square and the streets nearby.

"It must be smugglers, they brought the virus in." Meng Hu said breathlessly.

"How do you know?" Wang Meng asked suspiciously.

"They are all people who take risks for the sake of profit, and there are many such smugglers in Ye City."

Hearing this, Wang Meng's heart suddenly chuckled. She suddenly thought of the three people who had not returned for a long time, and thought of the smugglers, and she wondered in her heart that her father and his party were also smuggling, and whether they would be in danger now. She looked at Meng Hu and said, "My dad, they're not going to smuggle too!"

Facing Wang Meng's sudden questioning, Meng Hu's heart trembled violently, he looked at Wang Meng's expression of wanting to cry and didn't know how to answer, he extremely regretted talking about smugglers. But at this time, he knew that he must not tell her the truth, otherwise it would likely make her emotionally collapse in vain. Helplessly, he had no choice but to lie and comfort Wang Meng, "Impossible, don't worry, how could Uncle Wang do such a thing as smuggling."

"You don't give me sloppy eyes, are they going to smuggle?" Wang Meng obviously didn't believe it, and she interrupted Meng Hu's words.

"Look at you girl so stubborn, I said they couldn't smuggle." Meng Hu continued to lie.

"You don't lie to me, you must know something." Wang Meng glared at him and continued.

"I really don't know." Meng Hu excused himself,

"You don't say it." Wang Meng said in a fierce voice.

"I said, I really don't know, don't you think you're unreasonable? I just said that the group might be smugglers, and then you have to be suspicious that your dad is also a smuggler, which doesn't make sense. Meng Hu was already sweating profusely in a panic, and explained in a strong way.

Wang Meng also felt that he was a little unreasonable, so he stopped asking. But the stone in my heart still hangs high in the air.
