Chapter 45 One sacrifice for the country is not enough

The white words faded, the picture emerged, and countless steel giants were imprinted in front of him. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

People's Defence Army soldiers wearing steel helmets and uniforms lined up in a neat queue, with no end in sight.

"Salute!"

A deep voice burst out of the loudspeakers.

There was only one "boom", and thousands of hands rose in unison, neatly and neatly.

"Our name!" A deep male voice asked.

"People's Protection Army!" The voices of thousands of warriors merged, and the clay kettle thundered.

"Our mission!"

"Defend the family and the country!"

"Our duty!"

"Protect every inch of the country! Protect every citizen! ”

The camera changed, and a female reporter who tied up her long hair casually and wore light makeup said solemnly: "Hello fellow Yuanjiang compatriots! I am Li Jing, a former intern reporter of the Urban Channel, and what we saw just now are the soldiers of the 258th Brigade who are now stationed in Yuanjiang City. ”

"I'm sure you all know about the catastrophe that has taken place in recent days, beyond our comprehension, starting with the outbreak of the virus, followed by the outbreak of Resident Evil-like corpses in major hospitals, and countless people have lost their lives, including our relatives."

As the female reporter Li Jing spoke, her voice began to tremble, tears couldn't stop falling, and she covered her mouth with her hand and made a whimpering sound, unable to speak.

Less than half a second after the camera turned black, the female reporter reappeared in the frame, with light makeup on her face and long hair untied and draped behind her shoulders.

Apparently the part of her that is out of control has been processed and edited.

"I'm Li Jing from Urban Channel, I'm sorry." Li Jing regained her composure and continued, "I believe everyone feels boundless fear and despair like me. ”

"But, please stay calm and don't give up on yourself. Because the soldiers of the 258 Brigade are still fighting bloodily to save our lives and homes, please don't let their blood and sweat go to waste, please don't give up hope, please cherish your own lives, and don't take your own life. ”

"Next, I will interview many people in the temporary shelter camp, and we will not edit or modify the content of the interviews after that, and I will definitely bring you the most authentic record." After Li Jing finished speaking, she nodded at the camera, "First of all, I will go to the camp where the troops are stationed and interview the commander of the 258th Brigade, Senior Colonel Zhao Jiang." ”

The picture is shaking, and a middle-aged man in military uniform with a Chinese face appears, and on the bottom plate of the pine branch green epaulette of the military uniform, two golden thin bars and four star emblems are embellished, showing his identity.

"Hello, Brigade Commander Zhao."

"Hello." Zhao Jiang bowed slightly.

"Can you give us a brief overview of the situation?" Li Jing cut all the unnecessary nonsense and went straight to the point.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Jiang replied: "A few days ago, there was an outbreak of airborne mutant virus in Yuanjiang, and the late Mayor Liu ordered the whole city to be blocked. After that, the patients who died from the virus all turned into aggressive, monsters that eat people on sight - zombies, by your definition. At that time, our department had already entered the city to prepare for the major hospitals that had been severely affected, and then the dome was lowered from heaven, cutting off all contact with the outside world, and so far, we have not found a way to break the dome or communicate with the outside world. ”

"Okay, that's exactly what I know. I'm sorry, you just said, the late Mayor Liu? ”

"Yes." Zhao Jiang said bitterly, "Mayor Liu and others have died heroically in an accident at the command post of the air-raid shelter, and we are now making every effort to rescue the affected citizens and try to restore contact with other departments and agencies." ”

"That means that so far, the 258 Brigade is still fighting alone, right?"

Zhao Jiang nodded and said: "Yes, after that, we will expand the new army, collect the remnants of the military and police, and also hope that the reserve soldiers, the soldiers who have been discharged from the army and capable compatriots will stand up and take the initiative to join us and contribute to the construction of the wall of the homeland." ”

"Do you have the confidence to defend Yuanjiang and protect all the inhabitants of Yuanjiang?"

"We, the 258th Brigade, will definitely do our best to ensure the safety of every compatriot. But I also hope that the residents who are far away from our department can overcome their fears, be brave, and work hard to save themselves! ”

"Brigade Commander Zhao, please answer my question head-on: Do you have the confidence to protect all the residents of Yuanjiang?"

Zhao Jiang was silent, and then nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I have confidence!" ”

"Okay, I also have confidence in you and your troops." Li Jing turned her head and said to the camera, "Before the deadline, the 258 Brigade has annihilated many corpse tides, with almost no casualties, and the next short video is one of the corpse extermination operations, because the mobile phone recording screen is not clear, please understand." ”

The short video is a purgatory scene from the beginning.

Screams filled the hospital and beyond, blood flowed in rivers, but there were not many bodies to be seenβ€”all of them had gone into the stomachs of the man-eating monsters.

Countless zombies are running wildly, and as long as they are caught up, they will die.

The stench of wind seemed to blow out of the screen, and the untreated horror scene would make even the brave people break out in a cold sweat when they see it.

"Boom"

On a sunny day, thunder exploded.

"Boom Boom"

All obstacles, all the commanding heights were wiped out in the screams of the shells that fell, and the overwhelming explosions continued one after another.

Bricks, concrete, and stumps flew in the air, the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke overshadowed the stench, and the screams of the heavenly earthquake and fury of artillery fire.

After the bright light, the world in front of the camera seems to have been wiped out of all colors by a devastating blow, leaving only gray and black.

When the picture is clear again, there are only a few dozen terrifying zombies left, wandering here and there, like broken marionettes.

Immediately after the machine gun fired, even if only one bullet passed by, the zombies that were hit were immediately cut off their hands and feet, and if the head was hit, the whole head was blown up by a 12.7mm caliber bullet on the spot.

A barrage of heavy machine guns swept through, and only a few zombies were still able to move, and they finally found their target and began to charge at the fighters of the 258th Brigade.

But under the precise strike of the sniper, they finally failed to break through the distance of ten meters.

The soldiers of the infantry company, who had been trained for many years in infantry and artillery coordination, wore masks and stayed helplessly in place, and their superiors gave a death order: non-essential close-range combat was strictly prohibited.

"As you can see, the zombies are vulnerable under the suppression of the firepower of the modern army, please have the same confidence in the soldiers of the 258th Brigade as I do." The female reporter's voice sounded again, "Next, let's interview the citizens who have been rescued to the temporary shelter camp." ”

Helicopters coming and going under the dome brought back groups of weeping survivors.

They were all housed in makeshift camps, and no one dared to move into the uncleared areas.

"Hello, I'm Li Jing from the original Urban Channel." Li Jing found an old man with white hair in the tent area and explained his intention, "Do you have anything to say to your compatriots in front of the TV?" ”

"My wife is gone, my son and grandson's family are missing and I can't be contacted." The old man said as he arranged his clothes and bedding and folded them into squares.

"I understand your grief and I have lost loved ones in this disaster. What's next for you? ”

"I've lived long enough, and there's nothing to hope for now. I wanted to play with my spare heat, but they said I was too old to let me back into the team. After folding the futon, the old man got up and tried to stand up straight, and said loudly: "When I drove the tank, they were not born yet!" I figured it out, no matter whether they let me or not, my old man just took a kitchen knife and a cane, and he had to fight to the end with that group of people and ghosts! ”

Li Jing did not respond for a long time, but finally thanked her and left in silence, finding the next interviewee: a young couple.

"What can I say, we came to the city from a remote place to work hard, and finally saved enough money to buy a house, and now it's blown up, how can we live in the future." The young woman cried and grabbed the ground, and the husband next to her clenched his teeth and smoked.

"What are your plans for the future?"

"What I'm saying you're really going to put on a documentary? Won't change? The man asked.

"Yes."

"I'm probably going to join the army, Mom and Dad, if one day you see this documentary, but you don't see me go back, then forgive the child for being unfilial and not being able to provide for you in old age." The man said suddenly on his knees.

"Thank you for your bravery, thank you for your willingness to stand up and do your part to defend Yuanjiang." Li Jing said.

The man shook his head and said, "I'm not the kind of person who is full of blood, I have been discussing with my daughter-in-law for a long time, and no one knows how long this heavenly dome will exist. I think the government army will definitely not support idlers, and joining the army early will not only ensure that you have a place here, but also learn some skills to protect yourself. ”

The woman cried even louder: "Who has discussed it with you, I don't agree!" I'm pregnant, what if you have three long and two short, and my child is born without a father. ”

The man went to persuade, the woman punched and kicked, and Li Jing left in silence again.

One interviewee after another answered the same questions about Li Jing, and Li Jing left in silence again and again.

"Finally, we are going to interview two soldiers of the 258th Brigade." Li Jing paused for a moment before continuing, "In the previous battle, they may have been infected due to the removal of their masks, and they have been separated and quarantined. ”

Through the thick glass, Li Jing was talking to a warrior, a flat conversation.

"Do you have any plans or ideas for now?" Li Jing finally asked.

"It's nothing, my father and mother died early, and they didn't get married. I don't know who should receive the pension, and if I get infected and can't be saved, I'll find a way to blow my head out myself. The young soldier's face was as dead as ashes, "I really don't want to become a zombie, it's so disgusting that I can't stand it." ”

"Are you scared then?"

"I'm afraid, I'm not most afraid of death, I'm most afraid of staying here and waiting for death, time flies too slowly, if it weren't for the platoon commander to find a way to find something to relieve my boredom, I would have thought about breaking myself." The warrior replied.

After Li Jing thanked him, he went to interview the second soldier who was quarantined.

This time, unlike the previous faces with gray heads and dirty faces, the faces that appeared in front of the camera were in good spirits and bright-eyed.

"Hello." Li Jing hesitated for a moment, obviously confused by the other party's energetic appearance.

"Hello, hello." The warrior replied with a smile, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

After a simple Q&A of "I'm ......", Li Jing threw out the question again: "Do you have any plans or ideas now?" ”

The soldier nodded and said, "Exercise hard, if you don't get infected in the end, go back to the front line, if you get infected......"

The young warrior paused for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "If I am infected, I will voluntarily turn into a zombie for the scientists and medical scientists in the camp to study, hoping that they can make good use of it, and I also hope that my family can share a little more pension, it is not easy for my mother to be alone." ”

Freeze frame. Obviously, not only Li Jing, but even the photographer was shocked.

"You, why did you make such a decision?" Li Jing blurted out.

"My grandfather fought in the Anti-Japanese War, my father fought in the Vietnam War, and I remember what they said since I was a child."

"Sacrifice your life for the country, one time is not enough!"
