Chapter 255: Red Flags Like the Sea (For the Loss of Money Plus ~~)
The first group of evacuees were the elderly, women and children in modified vehicles, and the second, third and fourth groups of evacuees who followed them were mostly young and middle-aged, following behind the breakthrough troops who opened the way, lined up in a long line, the formation was not neat, but it was not scattered, for most people, even if the rapid march was very tiring, but as long as they followed the others around them, they could always hold on. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When the front convoy was attacked, the stagnation followed the long line like a toppled domino, from front to back, and the people who walked at a rapid pace stopped and looked around, only to see the same puzzled expressions of others.
"What's going on up front?"
"What's going on, did you run into zombies?"
"How can zombies catch up so quickly, don't talk nonsense."
"Where am I talking nonsense, have you read the "Mutant Catalogue", don't you know that the cone arm mutant can dig tunnels, we are now going to evacuate on the provincial road to the outside of the city, and there are a lot of detours, if there is a cone arm mutant digging tunnels, maybe it can really catch up."
"I've heard that the convoy ahead has overturned a lot of cars."
"Is there really a zombie in front, I seem to have heard a gunshot just now, it's not like it came from Xinyuanjiang in the back, and the gunshots can't travel that far. Something must have happened ahead! ”
People were shouting and talking for a while, and when the people in the front row heard the news, they immediately passed it back, and the people in the back heard it and passed the news back again.
From the very beginning of "a small group of zombies intercepted the convoy in front, and now all of them have been wiped out, but a small number of people did not obey the command and left the team without permission" to the later "a large number of zombies and mutants appeared in front of the fierce battle with the troops escorting the breakthrough, and many people fled away from the team" to the last "There are countless zombies and mutants in front, and the escort force has collapsed, so if you want to live, you should quickly flee with it".
Every time the news passes through a mouth, it will always be changed by adding oil and vinegar, and somehow it has become a complete rumor by the end, although the accompanying staff of the Far Rescue Association have tried their best to explain and try their best to refute the rumor.
"Oh no, everyone, look at the back, there is a tide of corpses catching up behind!" Suddenly, someone shouted, and the people with binoculars immediately took out their binoculars and looked back, and sure enough, they saw zombies and mutants two kilometers behind, and they were running at full speed to this side.
Is this still worth it? Being caught up here is definitely a dead end. At that moment, the people who observed the situation behind immediately put away their binoculars, spread their legs and ran, and some even pushed the people in front of them as hard as possible in order to run faster.
It can be said that it is an example for one person to behave like this, but dozens or hundreds of people do this at the same time, which undoubtedly confirms the news that "there is a corpse tide chasing behind".
Boom, the crowd was completely chaotic, no matter how much the staff of the Ren Yuan Rescue Association shouted and persuaded, only some of the residents of Jiangxin Island would obey them, and for the residents who had been staying in Xinyuan River City, at the moment of life and death, they would not recognize the Yuan Rescue Association, if they didn't run away at this time, they would be able to run away after a while when the corpse tide caught up?
But the people in front said that there was a mutant in front and wanted to run backwards, and the people in the back said that there was a tide of corpses in the back and wanted to run forward, and the people who couldn't figure out the situation were suddenly confused by them, and they ran in all directions and chose a random direction, and people crowded people, people hit people, irregular, chaotic, and it looked like a large number of molecules were doing Brownian motion.
Seeing the crowd surging, trampling and riot may break out at any time, the staff of the Far Rescue Association are anxious, but there is nothing to do, in order to avoid this situation, they have evacuated the residents in batches, but the means of transportation are limited, the fuel is limited, the manpower is limited, the time is limited, and most of the people can only rely on their legs when evacuating.
It is okay for the rapid march to walk, everyone is in one direction, the slow pace is faster, the fast pace is slowed down, it is not difficult to keep the queue neat and evenly moving forward, but now thousands of people are running blindly in different directions, it is impossible not to rush and stampede. This chaos is like a fire falling into a pile of weeds, as long as it is ignited, unless the grass is burned out, it will be difficult to extinguish no matter what you do.
"We have to find a way, even if we can't control them from running, at least we have to let them run in one direction, and we can't let them run like headless flies, otherwise everyone will have to finish playing!" The person in charge of the Far Rescue Association, who was responsible for maintaining order in the team, held up the walkie-talkie and shouted, the sound of the chaotic crowd was too noisy, and only by shouting desperately could the subordinates in various places hear clearly.
"There's no way, Director, those people in Xinyuanjiang don't listen to us at all! Let's simply gather the residents of Jiangxin Island in the past, and if we can save one of them, let those who don't listen to persuasion go! ”
"Fuck you!" The person in charge scolded loudly, and was about to teach the person who made this suggestion a lesson with righteous words, but heard a voice above his head.
"Get up—"
The ethereal female voice is not like what the world should have, with a familiar melody, just two words make people feel a majestic momentum that moves mountains and rivers.
"People who don't want to be slaves—"
When the second line of the lyrics was sung, many people in the chaotic crowd stopped and looked up at the sky.
The eyes of the person in charge who was still scolding his mother just now lit up, and in an instant, he figured out what he should do, raised the walkie-talkie and shouted excitedly: "Sing the national anthem, and tear your throat with Lao Tzu to sing the national anthem!" Sing along to the rhythm of Secretary General Zhang! ”
Now those people are in a mess because they don't have a backbone, they don't recognize the troops of the Far Salvation Society and the 258 Envoys, they have made too many personal voices, affecting themselves and constantly influencing others. If you want them to be obedient, you have to shut them all up first, which the person in charge has thought of a long time ago, but he can't think of a way to shut everyone up.
When the national anthem sounded, he slapped his palm on the door of his head, and suddenly opened up. Why shut everyone up? Instead of trying to shut everyone up, find a way to get everyone to speak on the same page.
In this way, not only will the spread of rumours and chaos be quickly stopped, but it will also resonate with everyone and bring people together again, reminding them that solidarity is the most important thing, and that only when we are united can we get through this together.
To do this, you need a unified voice that can infect others.
What sounds are most likely to trigger emotions and infect others? Song.
Which song must be familiar to everyone, and will be sung along in this case?
There is only one answer: the national anthem of the Chinese People's Republic and the March of the Volunteers.
Trumpet, trombone, French horn, tenor horn, bass horn.
flute, clarinet, oboe.
Snares, kicks, cymbals.
The sounds of eleven instruments sounded at the same time, forming a melodious accompaniment, and the familiar melody resounded through the sky.
"Arise, and count not slaves."
"Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall!"
Every staff member of the Far Rescue Association, regardless of whether they can sing or not, all five tones are incomplete, and they all roar out the lyrics, and the male and female voices full of air are mixed together, shaking the eardrums.
"The Chinese nation has arrived, the most dangerous moment!"
There were interceptions in front, and there were chasing soldiers in the back, and the helpless listeners seemed to follow the song again, returning to the era when the Jin Ge Iron Horse was ambushed on all sides, in that era, their ancestors sang about the revolution, held high the red flag, and fought their way out of many difficulties.
"Everyone was forced to let out a final roar!"
More and more people began to roar, when they saw the people around them singing the same lyrics and the same melody as themselves, when they nodded to each other and reached out to help their compatriots who fell to the ground, the sound waves really passed like waves one after another, causing ripples in people's hearts.
"Get up! Get up! Get up! ”
"We are all as one, braving the enemy's artillery fire, and marching!"
"Braving enemy fire, advance!"
"Forward, forward!"
The March of the Volunteers can become the most imposing national anthem in the world, and naturally it has its inexplicable and indescribable magic, which can make the blood of thousands of listeners boil.
At the end of the song, the evacuation procession, which was thousands of meters long, suddenly fell silent, and everyone's voices became one, a voice that reminded people of the power of unity.
At this time, the tide of corpses chasing from behind was very close, and at a distance of less than a kilometer, you could see the black zombies without the help of a telescope.
None of the people in the rear dared to say that they were really not afraid, and if they were not afraid, they would not choose to follow the evacuation, but would carry their guns like those real warriors and stay in Xinyuanjiang to fight with the hateful zombies and mutants until the last moment.
But even if they are afraid, they are no longer as out of shape as just now, fear is contagious, bravery is also contagious, when everyone stands hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, the corpse tide is not so terrible, not to mention that there are troops from the 258th Division and the Far Rescue Association in front of them.
"Get up—"
"People who are not willing to be cowards—"
It is still the melody of the March of the Volunteers, but the lyrics have changed slightly, but this does not affect anything, as long as Zhang Xinyi's voice sounds, the staff of the Far Rescue Association and the residents of Jiangxin Island in the past will echo it, and then the residents of the new Yuanjiang will repeat it.
"Build our flesh and blood into a new Great Wall of Yuanjiang!"
"Yuanjiang compatriots have arrived, the most dangerous moment!"
"Everyone is determined to let out the last roar!"
"Get up! Get up! Get up! ”
"We are all united, brave the fangs of the enemy, and advance!"
"Brave the claws of the enemy and advance!"
"Onward! Forward, Forward! ”
100,000 majestic voices condensed together, resounding throughout the universe, reverberating in the heart.
Accompanied by an unprecedented chorus of 100,000 people, the chaotic evacuation procession began to turn around like a clumsy turtle, slowly moving in the direction of victory and hope.
A five-star red flag suddenly appeared in the sky, fluttering in the wind.
And then another, and then another...... Thousands of five-star red flags appeared in the sky, forming a giant arrow to guide the way for thousands of people on the ground who had lost their way.
The song is like rolling thunder, and the flag is like a surging sea of blood.
At the military headquarters of the Second Group Army, the veteran general who watched this scene through the drone returned the picture stood up solemnly, took off his hat and saluted.
It's an honor to see this.
