Chapter Seventy-Four: The Dignity of Man
"Comrades, I'm Xia Si'an, everyone should know me, and I won't introduce myself. Just now, Commander Jiang asked me to do the pre-war mobilization, and I didn't know what to say, so I had to talk about my own experience. ”
A soldier laughed below, and the heavy air on the playground loosened a little.
"I used to be a prison policeman, don't say that you regular army, you are also an inconspicuous police in the police, if you look for them, you are a jailer, a second devil ......"
The audience was in an uproar, and the atmosphere began to heat up.
"But!" My tone deepened, "This Gega originated from our prison, and there were thousands of Gega gathered within the walls!" ”
All the soldiers were instantly silent and listened attentively to what I had to say.
"The fog closed the mountain, the rescue was late, hundreds of our police and armed police soldiers, as well as some criminals, in order to prevent Gejia from escaping from the prison, used limited weapons and equipment to block Gejia in the prison for more than 20 hours!"
"In this blockade, some brothers were doused with gasoline and jumped off the prison wall with two Gega......"
I remembered the fireball that ignited on Qiao Dalu's body......
"In order to rescue the surviving criminals, some brothers entered and exited three times within the walls of Gega, all over the place......"
I'm always embarrassed to say that this person is me......
"Some policemen, in order to cover the criminals, died under Gega's minions......"
I remembered the mountain of bones and the sea of blood in the warehouse......
"Many criminals stood on the wall, with us, and never came down!"
"They also want to live, but they are also afraid, they were originally opposing and fighting classes, but in the end they came together and died together, why?"
……
"In the end, we didn't win, our country, our world became like this." My tone began to be low.
"I don't feel guilty about it! My comrades, my brothers, they all died in this battle, and I will not feel guilty for them. We have failed, but the human spirit has triumphed! ”
"All the people died, only three survived. We traveled all the way west, and we had passed hundreds of Gega tracking it countless times......"
I remembered the feeling of Gega's foul-smelling blood pouring down his face......
“…… I once escaped from the roof of a crowded Gega building when the city was broken......"
The white shadow of Rong Yusi's fall crossed my mind......
“…… I have seen the sinister ...... of people's hearts in troubled times"
Transparent crumbs floated on Ge Datou's face, and the cannibal grinned with a mouthful of bad teeth......
"I'm scared, scared to death, I don't want to be a Gega who only knows how to eat people, and I don't want to be a food for Gega and people. But I never feared, because I knew that if I feared, what I feared would come true! ”
"We don't have the incredible physical fitness of Gega, we don't have sharp minions, and we don't have overwhelming numerical superiority. But we are human beings, and how can human blood be defiled by that filthy thing? ”
The soldiers got excited......
"Now there are more than 300,000 Gejia gathered outside the city, and they may break through the defense line of the plague at any time, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid!" The soldiers shouted in unison.
"I'm not afraid of a lie, I'm afraid anyway. Words are the most powerless thing, and a person who says he is not afraid can only prove the fear in his heart, and only by seeing his own fear can he really inspire his courage. ”
"I know that you are all from all over the world, and there are no relatives of yours in this city. Can anyone tell me what you are guarding? ”
The scene fell silent all of a sudden, and no one answered......
"The world is in chaos, foreign objects are rampant, the home is no longer a home, and the country is no longer a country. At this time, what are you guarding as human beings? ”
There was silence below......
I was very emotional, gasping for breath, "Brothers, behind me, behind you, is human dignity!" This kind of fight may be only once in a lifetime, and it is for human dignity! This is our glory! ”
I suddenly turned around and shouted to Jiang Quan amid the sound of the tsunami of the soldiers in the audience: "Commander Jiang! Give the order! ”
The team pulled out and marched towards the defense area, and after a brief farewell to Jiang Quan, I left the driver behind and drove out of the city alone.
On the road, soldiers kept saluting me and saying hello loudly, and I kept slowing down and saluting back, until finally I couldn't be bothered, closed the windows and galloped away.
What I just said certainly had a good effect, but it stuck me in the middle of it. What should the so-called human spirit, human dignity be?
From ancient times to the present, there is nothing like human beings in the world, pure and evil, warm and cold, clean and dirty, united and hateful, yearning for stability and unbearable**, full of life** and there is a tendency to destroy. It is like a symbiosis of mind and animal, always fighting and interdependent, interpreting both thought and instinct to the extreme, and at the same time evolving countless possibilities.
It's like this conspiracy of the plague people, how cruel and shameless it is to use the hands of aliens to achieve their own goals, although they no longer regard themselves as human beings, but compared to Gega, they are just patients.
What is the spirit of being a man and always having an inhuman heart? Where is his dignity?
If I am an epidemic person, a Gega, should I also have my own dignity and my own spirit?
I'd love to talk to Virus Zhang, but I don't have time anymore. I must go out of the city now, they are in danger, the gap in the epidemic defense line is widening, I must do something!
During this period, I received another call from Xiang Ci, and the elite of several units belonging to Erli in the city had already obeyed Xiang Ci's command, and the laser protection near the underground fortifications could be installed within five hours, the evacuation work was underway, and the underground nuclear power plant was heating up.
I called my phone again to find Tian Tian and asked her to call Feng Yan, whether it was useful or not, to inform him of the facts, and to ask him to stop acting immediately.
Everything is ready, and I have no distractions at the moment, and I am galloping towards the seal with all my might.
This is a military warrior, the horsepower is very strong, but there is a small turret welded on the top, plus ammunition, the weight is definitely not light, although the engine has been struggling with his life, but the speed has not been raised, always hovering around one hundred and fifteen.
In the distance, you can already see the dilapidated sheds of the plague people, which are even more dilapidated than a few days ago, and the plague people who live here may have gone far. My car followed the familiar route straight to the small square. It has been more than ten minutes since I entered the infested area, and I have not seen a single infected person, but there are large pools of blood on the ground in some places.
It can be seen that the evacuation of the epidemic people was not willing, and there are obvious signs of fighting in some places, and the blood on the ground must have been left in this way.
The square was in front, and there was no one, but at some point a thick iron rod was erected in the middle, and an iron cage was hung on it, and there was nothing else in the iron cage, it was Liu Dongxi and others.
I was shocked, the car turned sharply and stopped, and before the car could stop, I opened the door and rushed out, and the two guns were already in my hands.
Liu Dongxi was the first to see me and shouted, "Don't come here, there are explosives!" ”
I quickly stopped, only to see that the bottom of the iron cage was welded with two chains straight into the ground, surrounded by floating soil, if there was explosives, it must have been buried in it.
"Si'an, are you okay?" Xiao Kan shouted inside, with a crying voice.
My heart ached, I didn't dare to look up, and said loudly: "I'm fine, how are you?" ”
Liu Dongxi suddenly scolded: "Can't you see what? It's all nonsense, dig up all the explosives, won't you? I said you do it! ”
I hurriedly agreed, and ran back to the car to get the sapper shovel, and my heart was already very dead.
At this moment, there was a whistle, and a circle of people appeared in the distance, all holding guns, facing the field, led by Feng Yan.
"Si'an, do you dare to come?"
I looked up at Feng Yan, "What dare you dare if I don't do anything wrong, but how dare you come to see me?" ”
"Hard mouth! Old Man Chang treats you well, you actually killed him, and you dare to say that you don't do bad things, do you know what it means to be unlucky? ”
I was stunned for a moment, Tian Tian should have called him to explain the reason, why did he still think that I killed Chang Cheng?
"Did Tian Tian call you?"
"If she hadn't called me, how would I have known that you were so bold and dared to come back?"
"Then how do you not know who killed Old Man Chang?"
Feng Yan snorted coldly: "Knowingly, don't you know best?" ”
I finally felt that something was wrong, Tian Tian must have deceived me, used me to calm the hearts of the people in the organization, and at the same time continued to provoke the relationship between me and Feng Yan, and borrowed his hand to get rid of me, this trick is so vicious that I am convinced, I can only blame myself for being stupid.
No wonder there was such a big contrast between her words and deeds and content at that time, I said how could such a bewitching and frivolous woman have such thoughts, it turned out that she was all used to fool me.
There is no other way but to try to tell the truth and see if he can accept it.
"Don't get excited, listen to me a few words."
Feng Yan scolded: "What do I have to say to you, these people have no enmity with me, you cut it off yourself, we will naturally modify the explosives settings, and they will naturally be able to leave safely after we leave." If you are not honest, we will detonate the explosives now, and if you have anything to say, let's go to Old Man Chang to explain! ”
As soon as I heard this guy, I could tell the difference, it seems that Tian Tian was really a ghost.
"Feng Yan, seeing that you are a man, don't you even want to listen to my two sentences? If there is another real murderer, wouldn't he let him go unpunished? How did Old Man Chang teach you before? ”
Feng Yan didn't answer immediately, but lowered his head and thought. I looked at him, and I was sure that I would kill them all. But it occurred to me right away that it would not be wise, and that I could get out of it if I killed him, but the epidemic would be out of control, and the consequences would be very serious. If he can be convinced, there may be some room for de-escalation.
