Chapter Twenty-Six: Departure
Within a few days of the disaster, the army quickly set up a base and the wall began to take shape. On the plain side, taking advantage of the school gate, a layer was reinforced up, which was completed first.
There was a long queue of refugees waiting outside the gate to enter the shelter, but there was no room for so many people at the base, both from City A and from other parts of Province H. In short, the location of the mountain town is excellent, and it is the first choice of refugees from all directions, so it is no wonder that the military established a base here early on.
A post was set up a few kilometers away from the gate of the base, which should be used to monitor zombies, and all kinds of guns and ammunition were piled up there, presumably the first line of defense.
……
An office building at Yamashiro University
A man in a military uniform with a face covered with years sat straight at the head of the conference table, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, and the golden olive branch on his shoulder and the three gold stars showed that his status was not low.
"Everyone's giving their opinions, what about the refugees outside?"
The person in the first seat spoke, and it was hard to imagine that this was an old man who was over 70 years old.
"Our base can't accommodate them, so I suggest that they go further south, and the water city in R province is also building a base." The first person on the left hand side of the chief said with a serious face.
The person sitting opposite immediately retorted: "But if we don't take them in, they won't be able to go to Water City, like this...... It's like giving up on them. ”
"It's not that we don't take it in, it's that we can't! They can only ask for their own blessings, and if we go to inform them now, they can leave sooner. ”
As for the people sitting at the lower table, none of them expressed their opinions, and Colonel Yuan and Colonel Xu had already made it very clear.
The person who just refuted thought that the people who were laying on the floor outside really couldn't get in......
Colonel Xu looked at Colonel Yuan with a red face, "Then you can't let them die!" ”
Colonel Yuan frowned, this is indeed a problem......
The chief watched them arguing in silence, how could the lives of thousands of people outside be lost? It is the duty of a soldier to protect them!
The chief looked to his right-hand side and gave orders in an orderly manner.
"Colonel Xu, do you see if the base can still squeeze in a little, and as much as you can enter."
Then he looked to the left-hand side, "Colonel Yuan, you take some soldiers to escort the refugees to Shuicheng." ”
"We don't have many soldiers, and some of them have been transferred, what should we do here?"
Colonel Yuan was worried that if he took some of the people, the base would be difficult......
The chief said bitterly: "No matter how difficult it is, it must be like this!" We still have a wall to resist here, don't worry. It's you, maybe it's more ferocious and unlucky along the way......"
"Chief, promise to complete the mission!" Colonel Yuan stood up and gave a standard military salute.
The chief then got up and returned a military salute, "Hard work, take care!" ”
At the end of the meeting, everyone quickly and unhurriedly dealt with their own affairs, leaving only the chief and Colonel Xu still sitting there and not moving.
"Chief...... Colonel Yuan? ”
"I don't care how you fought before, but now it's at a critical moment, put away your careful thoughts, our common enemy is those zombies outside who are not human or ghost!"
"I ...... I see! Heads. ”
Colonel Xu was a little ashamed, but he didn't expect the chief to see it in his eyes.
"Alas...... Colonel Yuan just spoke straighter, and he was still a very good person. ”
"I know, chief! Not in the future. "It's unknown if we'll be able to see him in the future......
"Let's get out...... I'll be alone. ”
The chief's straight back slowly leaned back on the back of the chair, old, old......
Colonel Xu looked at the old chief's wrinkled face, this disaster really didn't come at the right time...... After a military salute, he withdrew.
……
Base in a humble house
"Mom, I'll go outside and get some medicine."
"Ahem, no need...... This disease...... It can't be cured. ”
"Nonsense! How can it not be cured...... Even if...... I'm going to try it too. ”
"Even if the disaster doesn't come, your mother and me...... I won't live long......"
The man finally hugged his mother and cried bitterly, his mother had terminal stomach cancer, he knew that his mother could not last long, but he still had a glimmer of hope......
Lying on the bed, the sallow mother hugged her son like a chicken, her face was smiling, but tears flowed involuntarily......
O her son! It was she who dragged him down, and his father and sister are still missing, what should he do alone?
"Siyuan, after I go, you can go to find your father and sister...... The family always has to be together. ”
"Don't say it...... Don't say it......"
Jiang Siyuan loves his mother the most, respects his father the most, and loves his sister the most. Now they are separated from their father and sister, and my mother has suffered a lot over the years, and God made a joke in her last bit of time, so that she can't recuperate with peace of mind.
"Knock knock...... Is anyone there? A soldier stood outside the door quietly waiting for the door to open, knowing that there was a sick number inside, and that he had come to take her.
"Knock knock...... Is Comrade Jiang Siyuan here? ”
It took Jiang Siyuan to knock twice before he heard someone coming outside, so he wiped away his tears and got up to open the door.
"Hello, what's the matter?"
"Hello, is Ms. Peng Hongyan inside?"
"My mom is here, what's the matter with her?" Jiang Siyuan asked again.
"That's right, we registered her as a patient and needs to be isolated from normal people, and I'm here to take her to the quarantine area."
"She wasn't bitten! Just an ordinary disease! ”
When Jiang Siyuan heard that he was going to isolate them, he immediately blushed with excitement.
"This is an order from the superiors, as long as you are sick, you must be isolated." The soldier said with a blank look.
Jiang Siyuan pleaded: "I will keep watching her, it will be fine......"
The soldier didn't speak, but his eyes were resolute.
Jiang Siyuan suddenly felt very desperate, "If you have to take it, then we will leave the base ......"
He thought that he had no power and no power in the base, how could he stop the army...... Since you can't stop it, let's leave.
After a while, Jiang Siyuan packed the supplies, but in fact, there were not many, and he basically took them all to change the medicine.
"Mom, we're leaving." I'm sorry, it's my son who is incompetent......
"Let's go...... "Mom wants to be with you for the last few days......
Jiang Siyuan took one last look at the soldier and saw that his attitude was still so resolute, so he helped his mother to leave the base......
The soldier looked at them and felt unbearable, and wanted to persuade a few more words, but he thought of the order...... I had to follow them silently.
Seeing the tall and short figures gradually blur, the soldier withdrew his gaze, and when he walked out of this gate, all cultivation was up to the individual......
