Chapter 156: We Are Not Abandoned
At this time, Mo Yu adjusted the projector, accompanied by a familiar music that seemed to be a world away, and gradually the image on the screen became clear. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Why do I feel like I am in a different world? Because I heard the music on the curtain, which was the opening music of the most popular social column of Homeland Satellite TV, "Citizen Front". It's been three months since the disaster hit, and in the first days or two, I've watched TV in those three months. It didn't take long for the whole city to go blackout, not only did the power go out, but soon the cell phone signal was gone, the network was cut off, and all the electronic devices we are familiar with in modern life stopped working. There are many reasons, but the biggest one is that no matter the power supply, the communication base station, or the network server, it all needs people to operate, no matter how high the degree of automation, in fact, it is still inseparable from people. In particular, as soon as the power supply system stopped running, it was like a domino falling, and everything related to electricity was shut down one after another. It is no exaggeration to say that this catastrophe has brought human life back to more than a century ago.
Of course, this is not the case for the entire human society, but at least for ordinary people like me. As for television, where else is there television? Even though we repaired the hydroelectric power plant and regained the power supply to the base, we didn't get any more TV signals. Speaking of which, the satellites in the sky are still running, and Cedar Hills has its own satellite receivers, but where can we still receive any TV signals? At most, that is, to watch the downloaded and saved TV series and movies, and the number is still relatively limited, we have watched too much, and we can all recite the lines. However, the computer network can still be partially used, but the military has opened up part of the military network to provide capable survivors with communication and contact, and the all-encompassing network world of the past is not to be thought of.
As for live TV? Really, seriously, I've forgotten what live TV is.
Now, not only did I hear the opening music of the "Civic Front" of Homeland Satellite TV, but I was even more surprised that I saw a familiar face.
Xia Shiqi, the gold medal female anchor of Homeland Satellite TV.
Judging from the time displayed on the screen, this is really a live broadcast, even if the time is faked, but at least the world under the camera is not the ordinary world we lived in before, but the world that collapsed after the disaster.
It's unbelievable that we can still see a live TV broadcast in the apocalypse!
I don't know exactly where the location of the live broadcast is, it looks familiar, but the streets of the city are generally similar, and the background is high-rise buildings.
"Everybody......
As the first sister of Homeland Satellite TV, the gold medal female anchor who used to be in front of the camera and rushed to the scene of a riot with two people carrying a camera, and also interviewed national leaders face-to-face, no matter what kind of program she hosts, she will never have stage fright, and she will never make mistakes, no matter what kind of guests she faces, she can look forward to it and talk and laugh freely.
Corresponding to this is a very long and tall wall behind Xia Shiqi, which divides the city's high-rise buildings and streets, I don't know what is outside the wall, I only see the heavy machine gun still spraying flames on the wall, and I can also see the bullets dragging the fire light flying through the camera, just like watching a war blockbuster before.
There is no explanation in the camera where those bullets are fired, and next to the female anchor is a combat unit with loaded guns and live ammunition, tensing every nerve, the roar of zombies outside the fence that can't even suppress the sound of gunshots, and even a trace of black gas rising in the bright sunlight, which is a foul smell in the air, that kind of foul smell is familiar to us, it can stimulate the respiratory organs of the human body, make people dizzy, vomit, until they pass out.
After choking for a few seconds, the gold medal female anchor Xia Shiqi calmed down her emotions, tried her best to squeeze out her signature smile, but her eyes flashed with tears, raised the microphone again, and said: "All the survivors who are lucky to survive this unprecedented disaster like me, I am Xia Shiqi, today, I am standing at the Suzaku District City Railway Station in the center of the disaster to give you a special live broadcast that I have never had in my life and should never have in the future." ”
It turned out to be Suzaku District, no wonder I felt familiar, I thought it was a city far away from me, no, it should be accurate, when I first saw the TV screen, I just felt that it was not our world, three months is not too long, but these three months, has made me forget the world I once lived in. But suddenly, I realized that the place in this TV lens seemed to be 108,000 miles away, and it was actually so close to us. Suzaku District is located in the south of the provincial capital of Guangyin City, on the south bank of the Guangyin River, and I actually passed through there at the beginning of the disaster.
At this time, Zhou Lingjie, the little reporter who was standing behind me and watching the picture, sighed slightly, and said sincerely: "Such a strong aura, I was infected by her immediately." I used to think that no matter what show she hosted, it was a style, and I used to be very unimpressed, but now I know that being able to form my own style is enough for me to learn for many years. ”
This little reporter is really a persistent person, at such a time, she can still hold a learning mentality, and I really convinced her. I smiled slightly, said that the child can be taught, and then I heard Xia Shiqi continue:
"Today is October 24th, the 3rd month and 20th day of the outbreak of this unprecedented virus disaster in our city, according to the data released by the World Health Organization, the first city to have a large-scale infection is São Paulo, Brazil, if this day is counted as a disaster day in the world, today is the 3rd month and 24th day after the disaster day.
This catastrophe caused by the virus was a massive outbreak in various parts of the world at the same time and at the same time, which caught our entire country and indeed the whole world off guard. Just yesterday, the United Nations released the latest news, so far, the virus disaster has caused 30% of the world's population to be directly inhabited, and the attack of the infected has caused 20% of the world's population to die, that is, in the past nearly 4 months, about 35 to 4 billion people in the whole world have died due to infection with the virus or attacked by the infected, which is the largest and most terrible disaster for human society so far. This catastrophe has dealt a devastating blow to the entire human society. ”
"Like all the lucky survivors of the disaster, I have witnessed the death of my colleagues, friends and even loved ones, some of whom are actually dead, and some of whom are still alive even though they are dead. To this day, I still wake up in nightmares every day, and to this day, I can't believe what I saw with my own eyes, and I still don't believe that human society has come to an end. ”
"Today, I am so honored to stand here to do the most special and perhaps unprecedented live broadcast for you dear dear since I started my work as a radio host. I'm proud because this will be a live broadcast that will go down in the annals of human history. You can see these warriors beside me, these days, it is precisely because of their selfless fighting that they have brought back to the crowd the outcasts who are hiding in the corners and desperately waiting for death like you and me, and they have paid a great sacrifice for this, even with their lives. You can also see the tanks behind me, yes, there's going to be a rescue operation here, but unlike the previous ones, in this operation, the military and scientists have joined forces to drop a newly developed biologic agent on the infected, which can put the infected person into a coma, so that our rescue operation can be completed with minimal cost. ”
"It should be pointed out that the current governments have passed a resolution unanimously to adopt the outline of the 'Ark Conference', which was signed by the world's best virologists. This is a conference to save humanity, and scientists will use the most advanced science and technology in human society to save humanity in this disaster, including survivors who have not been infected, as well as those who have already been infected. Therefore, this rescue operation that is about to begin behind me will be of epochal significance, and if the biologics we use can achieve the desired effect, then we will be able to successfully rescue the survivors, concentrate the infected in a limited area, and save them from this terrible disease through subsequent treatment options. ”
"This catastrophe has almost brought the history of mankind to an end, almost everything we love has been destroyed, and we have lost almost all our relatives and friends, but humanity will eventually overcome this catastrophe, just as it has overcome all the disasters that have ever occurred in the history of mankind, human beings are unique intelligent beings on this planet, we have the ability to control and pacify this catastrophe, we have the ability to control everything on this planet. Please remember today, although this disaster has caused us to lose too much, but we have never despaired, after today, we will gradually return to the past life, we will rebuild our homeland, we will win back everything that once belonged to us! ”
"She's so sensational." I saw Zhao Jialin listening to Xia Shiqi's magnetic mezzo-soprano affectionate speech, the big man of 1.85 meters couldn't help but be moved, he hugged his little daughter-in-law Lu Min'er, tears flowed down his eyes, he didn't know who had the opportunity to watch this live broadcast now, and he didn't know what kind of mood the people who saw the live broadcast would be at the moment, but he knew that he was deeply moved. Although he also knew that Xia Shiqi, as a senior gold medal anchor, knew very well the skills of mobilizing the audience's emotions, he also deeply agreed with what she said.
How else?
I looked at the big boy who was crying next to me, and I felt a chill in my heart, but it seems that Zhao Jialin is not the only one like this, I saw that many big men were also in tears, not to mention those girls, but the little reporter Zhou Lingjie's mood was relatively stable, but she seemed to be learning Xia Shiqi's anchor skills, she was really a child who loves to learn.
At this time, Xia Shiqi withdrew a certain distance from the back, and gave the camera lens to 3 99A2 main battle tanks lined up, and after her fully emotional speech, the real highlight of the live broadcast began.
All three tanks raised their muzzles, the middle one remained stationary, and the left and right tanks rotated their turrets 90 degrees, with their muzzles pointed in the left and right directions.
Then, a middle-aged man's voice came from the loudspeaker at the scene - "On behalf of the 11th Theater Command, I announce that the 1024 rescue operation has begun!" ”
"I'll rub!" I muttered in my heart, "Big brother, do you think this is the opening ceremony of the Games?" I still need to cut the ribbon! ”
But no matter how much I complain in my heart, I also know that this live broadcast is indeed a show. Because to drop bombs containing biological agents, it is much simpler and more effective to use the Air Force. But in that case, the effect of the live broadcast is not so obvious. Although it is a show, if the next action can really go smoothly, it will definitely be a very successful show, at least, it can make people in the deep despair find hope at once.
"I hope so." I silently said in my heart: "I hope all this can really be controlled, I hope this disaster really passes like this, even if we have nothing in this disaster, but as long as the disaster passes, everything is not a problem." ”
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
As the muzzle of the main battle tank spewed out brilliant and dazzling flames, three artillery missiles with thick smoke flew into the sky, their target was not a specific location, but a precisely calculated mid-air, when the missile dragged the smoke to the designated position, it exploded in the air volley. The explosion produced a dazzling flash of fire as far as the eye could see, and several clouds of yellowish smoke appeared in the air.
The smoke spread and sank rapidly in the air, drifting back in the direction of the station in the calculated wind direction. I don't know what the smoke contains, but I see that the smoke not only spreads very quickly in the air, but also spreads widely, and in the end, although it gradually becomes lighter and lighter, and fades to the point that it is almost gone, and the area covered by the smoke in the three directions, minus the overlapping parts, is almost close to one square kilometer, completely enveloping the surrounding area of the station. The people in the center of the station are in the thinnest part of the smoke.
Even so, my heart is constantly beating drums, especially this smoke must not be too bad to destroy normal people, just fainting, but if this biological agent enters the body, maybe what will happen. If you are not infected by the virus in the end, but you are infected by biological agents, then who can you turn to for this special injustice?
The smoke eventually diluted almost in the air, and as the minutes ticked by, the people in the ballroom watching the live broadcast were silent, and I believe that whether it was us, the fighters on the scene, or all the other survivors who could watch the live broadcast in similar survivor gathering places, the mood was almost suffocating at the moment.
No one knows what those clouds of smoke bring.
It's been more than 3 months, this disaster has been breaking out for more than 3 months, so many people have died, is this live broadcast a prelude to the rebirth of mankind? Or will it bring the curtain on humanity's withdrawal from this world?
5 minutes passed, 10 minutes passed...... It's been a long time, longer than the months we've passed.
Suddenly, Xia Shiqi's voice sounded again, and at this time, her voice was obviously a little broken because of excitement, which was absolutely something that had never happened in her anchor career.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now, on the high wall behind me, the heavy machine gun with an automatic identification system has gradually stopped firing, which means that the infected outside the high wall are no longer surging towards the high wall, and the potion has taken effect! The infected don't attack humans anymore! We are saved! The human world is saved! Thanks to the great scientists! Because of them, we are not swallowed by the virus! Thanks to them, we were not abandoned! (To be continued.) )
