195 Unruly people
After it was completely dark, Zhao Xinghua and Jiaojiao climbed onto the back of the giant falcon, and under Jiaojiao's guidance, the falcon flew towards the settlement where several people had arrived during the day.
(Falcon is not immobile at night like other birds.) The vast majority of birds have night blindness, and falconiformes birds (including eagles, eagles, owls) are extremely rich in selenium in their eyes, even more than 100 times higher than humans, trace element selenium is involved in the composition of glutathione peroxidase, which can remove harmful free radicals and peroxides produced in biological metabolism, and regulate the absorption and consumption of vitamin A. Vitamin A is not only found in carrots, but also in the livers of animals, which is why falcons are able to fly at night without night blindness. )
The Saker soon reached the sky above the settlement near Nursery Park, and the campfires below were the best targets.
Under Jiaojiao's signal, the giant falcon quickly swooped down, and the strong wind brought by the huge body and the wave of its wings blew the sparks of the fire supported by the wooden sticks on the ground to fly all over the sky, and the crowd let out bursts of terror and wails, and fled in all directions.
When the crowd was chaotic and the firelight was flickering, Zhao Xinghua and Jiaojiao jumped from the back of the falcon to the roof of the building, and then quickly moved to a dark corner.
After completing its mission, the Saker rose again and disappeared into the moonlight. But the riots it caused did not subside for a long time, and there were still curses and cries from time to time in the crowd.
This is an old-fashioned residential building, and the architectural style is a product of the 80s and 90s of the last century.
Just now Zhao Xinghua looked down from the air, this settlement site covers a large area, according to the bonfire lit on the ground, it is inferred that it is more than ten square kilometers, if the outer wall is built with the kind of prefabricated panels used in the construction of the building before the end of the world, then it can be imagined that the amount of work is also very large.
The two of them did not carry a war knife when they came out this time, the fanged dagger was tied to their calves, and other firearms were not carried, Zhao Xinghua was still very confident in his strength among humans. Taking advantage of the fact that the riot below was not over, the two smeared and walked towards the stairwell. There was no light in the corridor, so she could only move down the wall little by little, and when the two of them reached the staircase on the third floor, Jiaojiao suddenly let out an exclamation.
A voice rang out from the ground:
"Who didn't pull clean at dawn, stepped out in the middle of the night to pee, and almost didn't step on me to death!"
"Hurry down, stick to the wall, there are still a few people on the ground." Don't come out in the middle of the night, and don't know how to light a torch. ”
Another voice grumbled from the side.
"It's noisy outside today, and I can't sleep well."
"No, it's okay, we have a place to sleep, and those who sleep outside still have to be wary of this and that."
Only then did Zhao Xinghua understand that the corridor in this position was full of people.
Hurriedly said:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I ate the wrong thing at night and had a stomach upset."
"Stop fucking bragging, it's been a long time since everyone had dinner. Hurry up and go down, and remember to bring your own torch when you come back. ”
Zhao Xinghua hurriedly led Jiaojiao against the wall and walked down.
Out of the building, only then did I see the light again, although the moonlight in the sky tonight was not very bright, but fortunately, I could see the general outline of the outside, and the two of them invariably missed the electric light before the end of the world. I don't understand why I didn't install windows in the corridor when I designed this kind of residential building, but now there is no electricity, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is dark inside.
It's still noisy and messy outside, this man says he took his things by himself, the guy says there's a sweet potato missing, and he's crying and shouting to find the child...... No one stepped forward to maintain order all along.
Zhao Xinghua and Jiaojiao walked among these people casually, as if they were in another world.
Both of them are leaders with advanced evolutionary abilities among human beings, and they only had panic and confusion at the beginning of the end of the world, but with their respective strengths, they can walk freely in this troubled world, and they have a fight in the face of any danger, and dare to face various challenges. Food and other supplies were readily available in this abandoned world, so much so that both of them forgot that this should be a time of chaos, chaos, crisis, violence, hardship, and pain, which is what an ordinary human being needs to go through and endure.
The shortage of supplies and food has made these humans full of hostility and distrust of each other, and everyone has become a philistine and calculating.
At this time, Zhao Xinghua saw a man sitting in front of a fire in the corner of the venue.
The reason why he was able to attract his attention was that this man was different from the panicked crowd around him, and he could feel the silence and tranquility from his back.
Zhao Xinghua turned around and walked towards the man, Jiaojiao looked at these frightened and helpless survivors, as if she understood something, there was more melancholy in her eyes, and she silently followed behind Zhao Xinghua.
Zhao Xinghua walked over to the man and sat down cross-legged.
"Is this often the case here?"
"Oh? Are you new today? ”
The man was curious about Zhao Xinghua's abrupt question.
"Shhh~ I snuck in."
"Oh~~"
The man didn't ask any more, and then Zhao Xinghua replied to the question just now:
"Almost, what else could I do. It's also a way for them to vent. Everyone has the same experience, whether you were a big boss or a high-ranking government official or a taxi driver before the end of the world, now you are the same with nothing, almost everyone has lost a loved one, and no one listens to someone who wants to complain. The fact that they are so noisy can at least prove that they are not numb and that they are still alive. ”
"Then no one has stepped in to maintain order?"
"No, this area is full of outsiders, and it's the most marginal of the camp. I'm not just talking about location, but also about benefits and the distribution of goods. ”
"Can you tell me about the situation here?"
"Where do you say this is? Is it the area or the entire evacuation camp? Or do you want to ask about the situation in Yancheng? ”
"Okay, whatever, okay?"
Zhao Xinghua became more and more interested in this person. Similarly, the man also looked Zhao Xinghua up and down, and then said:
"Then you can tell me about the situation outside, too."
"Okay, that's a deal."
……
"Before the disaster broke out, this place had been fenced off in advance, and in order to clean up and occupy these places, nearby residents also protested, because it affected the travel of residents in several communities here, and some said that they blocked the view of the park, and also said that because of the storage of building materials, they occupied a small square, so they could not go out for activities after dinner, oh, they just couldn't dance square dances."
"Because it is close to the railway station in Yancheng, a lot of land and buildings in the vicinity belong to the railway bureau, and these communities in front of you are also the family buildings of railway workers before the end of the day. Of course, the people who live here now are middle-aged and elderly workers, after all, they haven't shared a house for many years. These people have lived here for twenty or thirty years, and they are all familiar with each other, and they are easy to get together when they encounter problems. ”
"After the outbreak of the natural disaster, the government street personnel and nearby troops were urgently moving here, and these people blocked the intersection to prohibit the convoy from entering, saying that they were afraid that some of us outsiders would carry the virus. This stabbed the hornet's nest, and more and more local residents joined the way, denouncing the soldiers who fired the guns, and the zombies broke out at that time. ”
In the end, they saw the zombie cannibalism process with their own eyes, and they began to flee in all directions. This also led to the best time for the troops to rescue the trapped people, with only 5,000 people entering the camp. The original plan was to receive 30,000 to 50,000 people. When the transfer personnel fully entered, it was the darkest moment, and more than half of the people here had a corpse mutiny, at that time, there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, some were bitten by zombies, and some zombies were killed by soldiers, and it took a day to completely empty the zombies in the camp. I thought that anyone who could survive should be God's favorite, but unfortunately things have changed again. ”
Zhao Xinghua listened to the man talk about his past experience, and thought of the scene when the Suishi disaster first broke out, which was similar to this situation at that time.
"As mentioned earlier, the industry that belonged to the Yancheng railway department before the end of the world, and those who were local residents were once again grouped and xenophobic, first set up a "picket", and then set up the so-called |" People's Commissars". The vanguard of this movement turned out to be those middle-aged and elderly people who usually went to square dance, but the last remaining supreme commander of the military was only a young battalion commander with no experience, and he was quickly confused by these people's reasoning and recognized the organizational legitimacy of the "People's Committee." As a result, any action of the military requires the nod of those committee members, and the distribution of food and daily necessities and other livelihood issues are firmly grasped by these committee members. The "People's Commissariat" understood the interests of the people, and divided the survivors into several classes, the top of which were the committee representatives, the officers and those who had evolved, then the pickets and the soldiers, and then the railway workers and the local residents, and the lowest level was us, and the quota of materials and food was distributed according to the ratio of 4:3:2:1. ”
"Isn't there anyone against it?"
"Evolutionaries and officers have vested interests, naturally they will not object, and the armed forces in the camp also acquiesce to this arrangement, and the local residents naturally agree in their hearts when they see that they get twice as much as we get, if everyone is evenly distributed, they will not get more than now, only we are against it, but you can also see that these people are all brought together later, they don't know each other, and some people organize everyone to protest, and as a result, they only need to spread some rumors casually to make these people distrust each other, The organizers were overthrown and another representative was elected, and after repeated divisions and divisions, the hearts of the people here were completely scattered. ”
"Haven't you considered leaving here?"
"Leave? Where else can we go? Now even the personnel of the army rarely go out again. They say that the zombies outside are getting more and more powerful, and the animals are also mutating, the original domestic cats and dogs have become very terrifying, and we ordinary humans can't survive without weapons and strong strength. ”
"You still have brains, huh? Those zombies, no matter how powerful they are, are things that can't think. Although those cats and dogs are more powerful under normal evolution, they are not stronger than lions and tigers before the end of the world. ”
"But ......"
Zhao Xinghua didn't wait for the man to finish his excuse, and directly interrupted:
"No, but, think about it, those primitive people in the ancient jungle, their living environment is not safer than now, and it is also full of dangers. Even if they are only 1.5 meters tall, they may not be stronger than you without food and medical care, and they even use spears and bows made of stone and bone, and their intelligence cannot be compared with that of you highly educated humans. But in the end, they succeeded in continuing the population to our generation and became the masters of the earth. The outside world is not as terrible as they say, but it seems to us that it is the beginning of a new era, and the surviving human beings will be the pioneers of the new era. ”
"Who are you? Are you really from outside? ”
"My name is Zhao Xinghua and I'm from Sui City, Guangdong Province."
"I've heard of you!"
