Chapter 7: Chaos and Cruelty
After last night's thrilling night, the army was running at full speed, and the authorities-controlled media continued to publish all sorts of encouraging good news. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At eight o'clock in the morning, emergency ****** was issued, and all reservists, as well as fighters who had been discharged from the army in the past decade, were asked to go to the nearest army station to be reorganized and put into battle.
Well-informed sources on the Internet have also spread information that a large amount of arms stored by the military has been urgently relocated to various places, that all airports have been controlled by the military, that civilian flights have been cancelled, and that all capable planes are being used to transport all kinds of arms and materials.
As soon as it was ten o'clock in the morning, Summer discovered a serious problem, and Springs was in chaos at an incredible rate.
The people began to frantically stock up on supplies, because there were too many people, the major shopping malls, supermarkets could not cope at all, and the anxious people directly began to rob, and the chaotic crowd rushed into the supermarket and even the haberdashery store on the street, sweeping away the contents of the goods.
Those who did not grab food and water were red-eyed and went to grab the others, and the whole city was plunged into an unprecedented commotion.
For them, there is no difference between dying at gunpoint and starving, and tens of thousands of residents are desperate to take risks, and the weak control of the police will not be able to stop the riots.
At about eleven o'clock, Summer heard a young couple living across from her talking to another middle-aged couple downstairs.
"It's so messy outside, where are you going with your children?"
"Go to the imperial capital."
"At this time, you are going to the imperial capital? Crazy, right? ”
"It's crazy to stay here! It was said on TV that let the residents scattered in the countryside gather in the big cities as much as possible, and then the army will definitely give up the small cities and focus on keeping those big cities. ”
"However, the capital is more than 400 kilometers away from us!"
"Afraid of what? Take the highway, you can enter the imperial capital before dark, and we will be safe when we enter the imperial capital! ”
"That's what I said, I didn't expect that although the airport was blocked by the military, the highway was not closed, wait for me, I'll go with you!"
"Okay, then you hurry up, while others haven't found a good way to take refuge in the imperial capital, we have to go first."
Rumble~
There was not much time, and the two cars downstairs started up, and the two families opposite and downstairs hurried to the imperial capital four hundred and thirty kilometers away in this summer.
"To the imperial capital? At this time? Summer shook her head, laughing and crying.
In the afternoon news link, helicopter aerial footage showed that almost all highways, provincial highways, and county roads across the country had an unprecedented traffic jam, stretching for hundreds of kilometers.
Countless people were trapped on the highway where there was no village in front of the village and no shop in the back, they hurled insults and attacks at each other, and their faces were full of despair.
It turns out that there is not much in Huaxia, but there are many smart people of all kinds.
The little couple on the opposite side of the summer could think of going to the imperial capital to survive, how could others not think of it?
At this moment, they are trapped on the highway, and the night is about to fall, and their hearts should be full of remorse, right?
It's a pity that their daughter, the little girl is quite handsome, and she has just started kindergarten...
......
The sun is setting, and the second night of the apocalypse has arrived.
It was not yet completely dark, and the streets had already become empty, except for the military vehicles and police cars that drove in a hurry, no one dared to linger on the streets, only the autumn leaves were blown and fluttered in the air, and the whole Quancheng seemed to have become a dead city overnight.
Photographs from netizens who live near the edge of the city show that the army is in full readiness, with barbed wire in the streets, rows of firing points in sandbags, snipers and heavy machine guns on the roofs of buildings, and searchlights used for lighting many nights.
Police cars drove through the streets with loudspeakers, broadcasting over and over again the news that water, electricity and gas were about to be cut off, and that all people should stay in their homes and not be allowed to enter the military's surveillance area except in exceptional circumstances.
In a fierce battle on the outskirts of the city last night, giant spiders damaged many cables and gas pipelines, causing explosions and fires that caused serious damage.
Therefore, the military took precautions and cut off the electricity and gas supply of the entire city directly before the start of the war, and as for the city curfew, it was also to deal with various emergencies.
In addition to the police, military, hospitals, fire departments and other relevant departments and vehicles, if anyone sees the excitement on the street, the military can shoot them without warning.
Under such strict control by the military, most people chose to close their doors and hide at home to pray.
There are also some people who feel that there is power in numbers, and organize relatives and friends to live in a house, with the men in charge of guards, and the women and children in charge of logistics and lookouts, which can be regarded as a kind of spontaneous defense group with the family as the unit.
As the sun was about to sink over the horizon, gunfire began to ring out around the city, and helicopters began to circle over the city again, compared to last night, when there were more than ten helicopter gunships, and tonight there were only six.
According to well-informed sources on the Internet, the authorities have drawn five cities in the whole of China that they will keep at any cost, the imperial capital, the magic capital, Yangcheng, Shenzhen-Hong Kong, and the Shu capital in the southwest region.
As a result, the surplus air forces of the other major cities rushed to these five cities to carry out the defense mission during the past day, and the rest of the cities, although they were not abandoned, were placed in a secondary position.
From this point of view, the unlucky neighbor in the summer did not guess wrong, the authorities must have wanted to keep the imperial capital, but it is a pity that he chose the wrong time and mode of transportation to go to the imperial capital.
In summer, I saw from the Internet that there were really a group of people rushing into the imperial capital before sunset and getting a higher chance of survival than others, but their mode of transportation was not a car, but a motorcycle that was almost forgotten.
Motorcycles are much more agile than cars, and when the road is blocked, they can also weave along the trails on both sides of the road.
Motorcycles have been banned in major cities over the years, but there are still a group of motorcycle enthusiasts who hold their ground, so it's never a bad thing to have a hobby, and maybe one day these skills will save your life when the end times come.
The motorcycle people have always been disliked by the common people and the drivers who drive, saying that they are skinned and iron, and riding a motorcycle is looking for death.
Nowadays, in this extreme situation, I don't know how many people are willing to exchange their million-dollar luxury car for a tattered off-road motorcycle that can pass through the most difficult sections.
In the photo, the wife of a motorcyclist was stabbed in the back, which was done by the driver who was stuck in the road.
The motorcyclist-loving couple had to brave countless rocks and attacks, hurting all the way forward, knocking down several people in the process, and in retrospect, the couple still has lingering palpitations.
Isaac Newton said that I can predict the trajectories of the stars, but I cannot predict the madness of human nature.
Those who are blocked on the highway see that they can't live, and they don't want others to live, and the despicability of human nature can be seen.
