Chapter 193, the world is impermanent

It has been 8 months since the disaster broke out in July last year, and we have started a new life in a bright spring light. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This new life is different from what I imagined, the disaster is not over, and humanity is not destroyed in the disaster, scientists are working day and night to study how to make human beings survive this disaster safely, and can minimize the damage, and the builders are also working hard, trying to build an impregnable fortress before the scientists heal the zombies who are surrounded.

It seems that we will all live in such a fortress city in the future, and those zombies who have been besieged in the past do not know if there is really hope for treatment, but even if the treatment fails in the end, they will be wiped out in the city, and such a city is no longer suitable for human habitation.

We used to think that the biggest problem in the world is the population explosion, the rapid development of cities, the competition between people is too great, the work pressure is too great, food safety, sub-health, psychological problems, depression, suicide and other urban diseases emerge one after another.

But now, regardless of whether the zombies are eventually cured or destroyed, none of this will exist.

It can also be said that a new chapter has been opened in the history of mankind, although this page is passively opened, but really, everything is different. For the current human beings, the earth has suddenly become very large again, human activities are confined to the high walls, at most near the high walls, although there will also be transportation links between the various fortress cities, but the larger space, the existing human society has lost control.

It will take several years, or even more than ten years, to build a fortress city according to the plan, and this must be without being attacked. During this time, the scope of human footprints will be greatly reduced, so who will give up the vacant space?

Lin Zhuoran said it was a plant.

That's right, it's plants.

Plants that have mutated after the disaster. The mutation of plants is different from that of animals, and the mutation of plants does not seem to be very aggressive to humans, they just grow very lush and tall. Lin Zhuoran returned to the university and is now studying crops with a few assistants, and he told me a few times that the current crops are growing very rapidly, and in Tiannan Province, the southern province, rice used to be twice a year, and now this trend can be doubled. On the surface, this is good, the fortress can feed a population of 2 million without having to open more farms and farther away. The Department of Biology he is in charge of also has the Zoological Research Institute, which is responsible for raising safe livestock to provide meat for the fortress, and the growth of these animals is currently normal, but the researchers at the Zoological Research Institute are under high stress every day using mutated plants to raise these livestock.

It is not yet clear how much of an impact mutated plants have on humans and animals, but the growth of plants is already visible in areas where human activity is decreasing.

Lin Zhuoran was worried about this.

But for those of us who have managed to survive the disaster, it is our faith to survive no matter what the environment will become.

The work of the garrison is very complicated, but the primary duty is to patrol and guard, and it is a 24-hour patrol in three shifts. This task alone was very difficult for my garrison of only more than 200 people, so from the beginning of my appointment, I and my deputy Jia Zheng and I were working together to expand the number of troops, and at this point, our thoughts were surprisingly consistent, as if we were both super insecure people at heart. Now the 147 Wing is not yet full, and the personnel transferred above are always not in place, so as long as we have a suitable source of troops, it is easy to approve it after reporting. But from the very beginning, I felt that this was something that we had to think about.

We have 4 border patrol cars, 4 police anti-riot vehicles, 2 Type 09 infantry fighting vehicles, 12 military three-wheeled motorcycles, and 2 military jeeps and military off-road trucks that have not yet been put in place.

During the day, patrols are mainly carried out by military motorcycles and police anti-riot vehicles, covering all roads in the jurisdiction, while at night patrols are carried out with border patrol vehicles and police anti-riot vehicles, patrolling the main trunks and branches of the area, and infantry combat vehicles are mobile and on standby. In addition to patrolling, the entire fortress is also equipped with dense monitoring probes, theoretically there is no monitoring blind spot, the entire fortress is the same, once there are zombies, the garrison must appear and eliminate them at the first time.

If the task of the garrison is to ensure that no foreign zombies enter the fortress, then the garrison is to ensure that there are no zombies wreaking havoc inside the fortress. The entire fortress is divided into 20 garrison areas, and each garrison area is divided into 3 to 5 secondary garrison areas, and with the overall monitoring of the garrison headquarters, I dare not say that the garrison inside the fortress is airtight, but living in such a fortress, you can still sleep, otherwise there is no place to sleep.

Judging from the level of alert inside the fortress, no matter how much scientists, mainly politicians, claim that the situation is now relatively safe, the military's nerves are still tense. That's fine, I'm an extremely insecure person, and if the military had let their guard down, I'd honestly choose to leave the fortress with the people around me, and hide wherever there are fewer people.

Another important duty of the garrison is to maintain law and order. The pressure of this work is also quite high, even more so than the pressure of the patrol itself. Because there are no zombies inside the fortress at this time, but there are many people. The population of 2 million is still increasing, and each of the 20 garrison districts has to manage an average of 100,000 people, and there are more than 30,000 people in my second-level garrison area.

The reason is simple, according to the Special Disaster Act, survivors can legally own weapons!

Back in the early days of the disaster, the first wave of infections spread across the globe through the airborne virus, with many people on their way to work, to school, on the subway, in taxis, in restaurants, in shopping malls, in their homes...... Many people are infected with the virus without knowing it, and they quickly mutate, and without warning, they pounce on their family, friends, and strangers around them, while those who are not infected are defenseless, almost no one knows what is going on, and they don't know what to do, so they can only rely on instinct to escape, but the vast majority of people do not have weapons in their hands, so even if they can escape for a while, they will soon be chased by zombies. Then they are bitten to death, eaten, or mutated after being bitten.

It is difficult to confirm when the army took effective emergency measures, although the army was considered the group with the lowest infection rate at the beginning, but it was also not completely avoidable from infection, and the initial rescue operation was chaotic, and the army actually suffered a lot of losses. So later, the Supreme Disaster Relief Emergency Command also passed a special emergency bill to issue self-defense weapons to the survivors, this bill was completely forced at that time, our country is not like the West, ordinary people have no weapons, when the army can not rescue, can only hope that the survivors will save themselves, and the military is also organized and purposefully dropped different batches of guns and ammunition, which is more than airdropping food to save people's lives.

The problem now is that while the survivors were forced to confiscate their guns before entering the fort, cold weapons were allowed to remain, otherwise the severely insecure survivors would often prefer to leave the fort. The serious consequence of this policy is that once the security problem is faced in the areas under the jurisdiction of the various garrisons, it is not an ordinary fight, but basically a fight with weapons, and deaths occur from time to time. And the cold weapons of the survivors are also varied, all kinds of folk aliens show their skills, at first I thought it was a very funny thing to follow a little Taoist Xuanji around us, but after seeing the eighteen weapons of these survivors, I felt that the world was about to catch up with the martial arts world.

Area 14 is also a garrison near the edge of the fort, and you can get out of the city by driving 10 kilometers southeast along the main road. This is also an important reason why I chose to go to Area 14, everyone else is thinking about how to hide in the center of the fortress to avoid being attacked by zombies outside, and I think that if there is another wave of infection inside the fortress, I can escape as soon as possible.

Outside the fortress defense wall is a plain, the second bureau of agriculture plans to reclaim this plain into arable land, but at present this plain is barren, 5 kilometers deep from east to west except for wild grass and a country road that existed in the past, until there is a quarantine area under the fortress defense wall, that is, the isolation area, when there are new survivors outside to the fortress, according to the regulations, they must be isolated in the quarantine area for a month, and they can only enter the fortress if they are fine.

There is a defensive wall 5 kilometers away, a defensive wall outside the quarantine zone, and then the main defensive wall of the fortress up to 20 meters high. Standing on the main defensive wall of the fortress and looking down, the quarantine area is a shantytown, and there are not a few survivors who will not be able to get an entry permit for a while and a half. Even if they entered, they had nothing, and the fort rationed the new survivors, but the rationed food could only last for a week, during which time the people of the Resettlement Bureau would come to select those who had a skill in each trade, and the survivors would also find their own way out, and those who were still unsettled after a week would face starvation.

Of course, the fortress will not allow people to starve to death, but the survivors who cannot find a way out will undoubtedly be very difficult. It's okay to leave, but people are always social creatures, and it is very difficult to survive without the crowd and go alone to a wilderness full of dangers, no matter how great your ability is.

Area 14 is a fringe security area, and the most common crowd is the new survivors. In a jurisdiction of more than 30,000 people, a dozen or twenty people's police officers could handle it in the past, but now a garrison unit with a fully armed force and equipped with infantry chariots is also tired of coping.

Let Me Do It once said that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Grandpa Taizu also said that where there are people, there are left, middle and right. In a word, where there are people, there is strife.

On the first day I led a patrol, I ran into problems.

Although it is already spring, the temperature is still relatively low, and although the sun is shining during the day, many people are still wearing cotton clothes in places where the sun does not shine. If it rains, it's no different from winter. This is the weather in the city, it used to be like this, and this year's cold seems to have dragged on a little longer.

The interior of the fortress is very messy, construction is happening everywhere, and it feels like a construction site wherever you go, but the advantage of District 14 is that this area used to be a suburban village, and the terrain was relatively open, and the construction was much more difficult in the center of the original high-tech zone. I took a squad of Wang Zhicheng's 3rd detachment to patrol the main road No. 141 in a jeep and a police anti-riot vehicle.

Seriously, the entire fortress, the entire planet, can also be called a war zone.

This is my first tour of my precinct, and I'm not an administrative officer, but there is almost nothing an administrative officer here can do without the military, and this is not a normal time after all. I saw a team of sappers digging a pit on the left side of the road, and I didn't know what was going to be laid. There are no military facilities in the fortress, and all the infrastructure has a military function. And a vacant land on the right side is leveling, there is no reservation for underground facilities, indicating that it is not used to build houses, I heard that a multi-functional sports field is going to be built, this idea is good, if the fortress is completely settled down in the future, it can not only be military control, as the cultural and sports activities of ordinary citizens must be taken into account, the senior officials of the second bureau are also thoughtful.

Just when I watched the construction sites on the left and right of the road were starting in ping-pong, the radio on the car rang, and the voice of the officer on duty in the command and control room of the 14th District Garrison came from the radio, which was a female voice, accompanied by the sound of a clattering electric current: "This is the command center, there is a fight at the intersection of 141-143 Avenue, your patrol detachment of the 147th Wing is the closest to the scene, please rush to the scene immediately." ”

I glanced at the map and realized that the controller was talking about my squad, so I said, "Got it, I'll be there right away." Officer on duty Li Hao, over. ”

"Is it Captain Li Hao? The monitoring shows that there is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides of the fight, please arrive as soon as possible, otherwise there will be heavy casualties. ”

"Understood." I put down the microphone and glanced at Wang Zhicheng sitting in the driver's seat, he smiled, stepped on the accelerator suddenly, and the car rushed forward like a stabbed animal. In fact, the expression on his face was a little complicated, he used to be more of a witness to this kind of thing, but now, he has become a handler.

"Are you lamenting the unpredictability of the world?" I couldn't help but ask.

Wang Zhicheng sighed slightly, nodded and said: "A little, when I came out to mix, I never thought that one day I would be able to wear a military uniform, hang up a lieutenant rank, and deal with street fireworks." However, I didn't think about it that much, just live. ”

That's right, let's keep things simple, at least we're alive.

A few minutes later, we took a shortcut to the scene of the incident, we were not stupid enough to sound the siren all the way or something, and it suddenly appeared when we walked through the construction site, so the fight at the scene continued. The information provided by the command center is still very accurate, the scene is a group of people around a few people fighting, a group, at least 20 people are visually inspected, all of them are holding the control knives of the past, there are katanas, there are military standard machetes, and ancient swords, and even two big knives used by the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War of the 29th Route Army, as well as a few red tassel guns, and the most outrageous thing is that there is a convenient shovel used by the sand monk, I will take it! People are also messy, tall, short, fat and thin, and they are also very happy to wear, and they don't know where the costume is pulled out, and the one who uses the easy shovel is really wearing a robe.

Wang Zhicheng only glanced at it and said: "These guys have registered in the entire 14th district, claiming to be the Iron Palm Gang, and the core personnel and equipment come from a film and television base. "For things like gangs, Wang Zhicheng is also naturally sensitive.

20 more than 4 people, it stands to reason is a one-sided situation, and it took a few minutes to say that we came quickly, and it stands to reason that those 4 people should have been lying down, but it was not. Although the situation of the 4 people is passive, although all of them are hung up, the people of the "Iron Palm Gang" are more colorful, and the few people who fall on the ground should also be the people of the Iron Palm Gang.

As soon as I saw this situation, I made up my mind to pull the bias, brother, I also saw that the road was uneven, and I drew a knife to help, and if there are more people and fewer people are not beaten! Our car creaked to a stop, more than a dozen guards jumped out of the car with guns, I stood out of the sunroof of the jeep, pulled the heavy machine gun on the roof of the car with a bang, and there was a burst of fire on the ground, who has so much strength to shout, who still doesn't stop when he hears the gunshots, I can only say that you have a kind.

Obviously, everyone is still afraid of death, especially when there are bullets splashing up from the ground, almost hitting people, originally like a group of people acting in martial arts dramas, it was like being pointed out in an instant, the 4 people stood together in a back-to-back group, and the standard machete in their hands was still in their hands, and the so-called "Iron Palm Gang" people fully embodied the sincerity of military-civilian cooperation, and threw all the guys in their hands on the ground in an uproar.

Wang Zhicheng had already gotten out of the car, and someone from the "Iron Palm Gang" shouted at him, "Brother Zhicheng!" "Dare to know him before the disaster, it's not easy to do this, and it seems that Brother Zhicheng mixed well in the past, so many people died in the whole city, and there are still people who know him here.

But when I took a closer look at the four people who were surrounded, I felt that it was even more difficult.

Damn, borders!

How can this product be considered my hair small!
