Chapter 190, let's go back to the city
readx;?“ Upgrading to the rank of one rank is certain, considering that you were only a staff member of a public institution until the disaster, and in just a few months, your rank has been promoted as fast as a rocket, which is something that has rarely happened in the past war years. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info So even though you have done a great job this time, and this is an extremely special period, you can only move up one rank. ”
"I know, I know." My attitude is very low-key and modest in Shangguan Ruize's opinion, in fact, I want to say that I really don't care about what rank is not a military rank, at the beginning I was a militia squad leader when I enlisted in the firing line under Li Di, and after I got to Cedar Villa to build a survivor base, it was already a rocket jump, a long time ago when I was sweeping the floor in the army, I saw a lieutenant, I felt extremely awesome, at that time, if I heard that someone had jumped from the militia squad leader to a major battalion cadre in a few months, I would think it was a fantasy, Even the son of the top military boss doesn't play like this, but when this thing falls on me, all I think of is the bandit commander who was full of mountains when he suppressed bandits.
Shangguan Ruize's eyes were vicious, he easily saw through my mind from my attitude, and knocked his fingers on the table with a half-smile and said: "This is different, your promotion order this time is not issued by the war zone, but by the general headquarters, do you understand?" ”
I nodded, more understated, but I wanted practical benefits. This is not in the past, if it was in the past, I am not a great lieutenant colonel at my age, but it is not bad, but if it is okay above, there is no background, and it is also true, even if it is a great achievement to leave a little impression on the above, but this road still can't go far. Besides, when I went to college, I would keep my student status and enlist in the army, that is, I wanted to enrich my life experience, and from the moment I joined the army, I was not as eager to do something big in the army as those enthusiastic young people who went at the same time, I just wanted an experience.
Shangguan Ruize seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the mentality of a small citizen like me, who obviously always wanted benefits, but he lit a cigarette and handed me another one, and did not entangle me on this issue, but said bluntly: "You were the 130th refuge base in Yushan District before, I saw it when I was appointed as the commander of the base, but I forgot it after seeing it, all of us are used to calling it the main battalion commander of the Cedar Villa base, but now that the 130 base has been abolished, the organization is considering other arrangements for you. I'd like to start by looking at what you're thinking about it right now. ”
Has the Cedar Hills base been revoked? When I left, I also discussed this issue with Lin Zhuoran and Principal Long Yuantu, and we all felt that if the new preparation worked well, and the disaster relief headquarters established a new city in the high-tech development zone in the south, the base of Cedar Villa would definitely be cancelled sooner or later, because the construction of the new city needs people the most, and only by gathering the survivors scattered in all corners of the city can a new city be able to run again. This is expected, but anyway, we also spent a lot of effort in that place, and there are also many dead companions buried in the public fundraising of the villa, which is to hear that the base of Cedar Villa has been revoked, and I still have a sense of loss in my heart.
As for ideas, does it really matter what I have in mind?
Before thinking about it, I think there is another question that must be asked clearly, that is: "Director Shangguan, how is the situation outside now?" Can this catastrophe be said to be in the past? ”
Shangguan Ruize was not surprised that I asked this question, and I didn't see the kind of imprint on him that kind of political work cadre who became a full-level political cadre step by step from a grassroots officer, and he should have been promoted quickly after the disaster, so he was not sophisticated enough, and his speech was not so airtight and unfathomable, but it was still relatively direct, he said: "It's so easy to pass!" Let me tell you the truth, the current situation is like a war that has just reached the stage of stalemate, the enemy and us have formed a balance of power, and we have occupied the strategic height, but in order to transform this strategic advantage into an overall victory, we still need to advance little by little in various local battlefields, and then we dare to say victory. ”
What is war? As for the war, it is a war of an overall and long-term nature, there are wars of a year or two, there are wars of a decade or eight, and there is a war of a hundred years between Britain and France! Shangguan Ruize's use of the word war shows that the disaster on the scene took longer than I thought.
Think about it, so many people are infected with lesions, it seems that the virus parasitizes in the human body and will not be consumed so quickly, and it is estimated that it will not pass in a few months. In Resident Evil, zombies are still active for several years, and in I Am Legend, as soon as Will Smith appeared, it has been three years since the virus disaster.
Only a long-term battle can be called a war.
Shangguan Ruize paused and said: "At present, the effect of the biological agents developed by the scientists of the Ark Conference is that it can make the infected person, that is, the virus in the corpse in an extremely inactive state for a certain period of time, this validity period was 8 hours at the beginning, and now it has been extended to 24 hours, even after the time limit has passed, it can also suppress the metabolism and sudden mutation of the virus, and the biggest advantage of this effect is that it is conducive to the rescue of survivors in all aspects." At the same time, it is also conducive to the mobilization of all forces to isolate the infected, that is, to build a high wall around the area where the infected are concentrated, so as to prevent them from causing further harm to normal people, and at the same time treat them. ”
"Treatment?" I couldn't help but say, "When I crush their heads, the brains in them are all spoiled, can they still be treated?" ”
Shangguan Ruize said: "That also needs to be treated." If this plan was a lot of nonsense at the beginning, it would be wrong not to do it now. The disaster began with an ambiguous response that delayed the best time to deal with it and caused irreparable damage. But now that people have relieved themselves and have the strength to control these infected people, does it really make sense to deal a devastating blow to them at this time? That's billions of human lives, any one you meet, it may be you, me and his relatives and friends, unless they are really dead, why not try? ”
Well, when this young colonel still brought the national scold in his mouth, my impression of him was unconsciously better, thinking that what he said also made sense, at the beginning of the disaster, it was the best plan to quickly cut through the chaos and eliminate all the zombies, and the survivors who were surrounded by zombies until now were rescued, and those who could not be saved have been digested, at this time, as long as they can really be locked up, elimination is not necessarily the best solution. Although I don't think that the "Ark Project" can really save them all, the brains are all broken, can they be restored to the way they used to be?
Of course, I can't say for sure, first of all, those scientists with unnatural IQs are not given in vain, and secondly, life is a thing that must not be underestimated, even if you don't save them, maybe they can get better on their own.
Don't think about it, I took a deep breath and asked, "Director Shangguan, you should tell me about it, and you want to arrange me as you want." ”
Shangguan Ruize didn't sell the official anymore, but said bluntly: "There are three destinations, you can choose by yourself." First, you can take off this military uniform, now the command at all levels is under military management, but there is also a shortage of people everywhere in the civilian area, according to the past establishment, you can get a deputy department. The second is to go to the soon-to-be-developed military reclamation farm to be the head of the field and give it to the regimental level. The third is to go to the newly established fortress city in the southern high-tech zone of Guangyin City as a garrison captain and work as a regular job. You can go back and think about it and don't have to answer me right away. ”
This really has to be seriously considered, listening to Shangguan Ruize's meaning, the disaster has not passed, but the places where the zombies are concentrated are all fenced off, no matter whether they can be cured well or not, the life of human society will continue. Our life of eating and drinking in the field hospital will always have to pass, and there will always be a choice in the future, but if it weren't for this meritorious performance, I should have been incorporated along with the base of Cedar Villa now, and where to go is an appointment, but there is still a choice. It's a blessing in disguise.
Since I didn't need to answer right away, I wanted to discuss it with the people around me when I went back, and when I thought of them, I asked, "What about the others?" ”
Shangguan Ruize said: "You are the highest-ranking meritorious personnel here, you must start the arrangement first, as for the others, it's up to them, but there is no such thing as freedom to come and go, the state respects the right of every survivor to live, but the obligations of citizens and the responsibilities of this special period must be borne." ”
I also asked them what they thought when I went back, and then I asked again: "What about Li Di?" ”
Shangguan Ruize said as a matter of course: "She is the elite of the combat unit directly under the theater, of course, she is rebuilt." ”
Reconstruction? How do I sound like it's about returning to his sight? I didn't have any likes or dislikes for this Shangguan Ruize, but when it came to my own sister, I had to think about him more. First of all, his appearance is not the type I like, his eyebrows are quite decent, but he is not sunny enough, he speaks straight, he is not the kind of person who has a lot of eyes, if he is making friends, he can get by, but when I want to be my brother-in-law, I feel that Li Di is not very interested in him, but he is different, it is said that he should not have to run in person for my personnel arrangements, he came here, most likely for Li Di.
At this time, Shangguan Ruize seemed to realize that I was Li Di's own brother, so he said a few more words: "The first one is to return to the civil department, there will be some power in the hands, of course, it is too popular like material scheduling, personnel placement, those departments can't go, and there is no level when they go, it's a loss, and the current situation is still safer with a gun in hand, and I won't do it if I take off my military uniform." The second place is relatively far away, and now the resumption of production is the top priority, and the advantage is that it is relatively free, but the pressure will be very great, and there are now illegal armed forces separated from the command headquarters at all levels in many places, and the military reclamation farms must also take into account the armed struggle while engaging in production, and these illegal armed forces cannot be put on the table, and they dare not compete head-on with the main forces, but they will continue to harass the military reclamation farms and other expatriate bases. The third is in the city, in charge of the security picket and public security work in a district, there is some real power, but in a place with a lot of people, it is the current situation, and it is also mixed, I don't know if you can cope with it. Personally, I suggest that the first one should not be considered, and the second and third should be considered. This is also a more pertinent opinion to tell the truth.
I said that I would give an answer as soon as possible, and I greeted me for a while, saying something inconsequential, and I don't know if it was because of Li Di, he was still more patient, that's all. Of course, he had to talk to Li Di later, saying that it was a business matter, since it was a business matter, of course I couldn't control him, but I didn't worry about what Li Di would suffer, and I would talk to this girl later. She is also 27 years old, and under normal circumstances, it is time to fall in love, even if this Shangguan Ruize is not good, she must have a goal. My parents are also uncertain about their lives now, and I, as an older brother, have to worry about my sister's personal problems.
I just thought of my parents, and Shangguan Ruize added, "By the way, there is another matter." Entrusted by Li Di, the people I sent to your hometown have returned, and you should not go to the old people in the future, the county in your hometown is also a hard-hit area, you know what I mean. ”
I was stunned, I knew what he meant. However, I always held on to the glimmer of hope that my parents would still be in the mountains at the time of the disaster, and although this result was intellectually conceivable, emotionally I was a little unacceptable for a while. But as if I was hearing someone else's business, I instinctively hoped that it had nothing to do with me.
Shangguan Ruize patted me on the shoulder and said, "Originally, I also hoped to have good news, I could tell Li Di directly, but I'm sorry, I can only ask you to convey this result on your behalf." With that, he got up and left Dr. Chai's room.
Coming out of Shangguan Ruize, I couldn't breathe for a long time, in order to divert attention, I could only call everyone for a small meeting, just in my ward, a little crowded, but I just got a coal stove yesterday, warm. We are not only discussing the question of my whereabouts, in fact, I also want to know what you think about the future, how to say that we are also a family, this kind of feeling is watered with blood, unlike the past, this pile of people has nothing to do with anyone, what do you like to do, the relationship is good, you meet and say hello, the relationship is not good, old and dead do not get along, didn't we all live like this in the past?
"Let's go to the farm." The first to express his stance was Zhao Jialin, after Lu Min'er's death, he has been relatively depressed, not that we are not willing to say anything, at this time he said with a clear attitude: "It is safer to stay away from the crowd, this disaster is not over yet, who knows if there will be any lesions." ”
I am also more tempted, it is safer to stay away from the city and away from the crowd to farm in the last days, but Shangguan Ruize reminded me that the farm is not safe, and it is estimated that I will have to fight with those illegal armed forces from time to time. If you want to say this, I have a psychological shadow, the most dead people we die are not fighting zombies, but fighting with the peripheral mercenaries of the Home Guard, even if the ordinary survivors are not as powerful as them, but they can't stand the number of people, and the weapons and equipment of a military reclamation farm are not necessarily much better.
Li Yunzhong, a fighter for the golden remnants, seconded the proposal and said: "Just go farming, human beings are no longer saved, I am talking about people's hearts." In this chaotic mess with an uncertain future, one can imagine how smoky and miasma there is in a crowded place. "I'm rubbing, female doctor, or I'm back from Europe, is it better to be civilized?
Lin Zhuoran thought for a long time and said, "Let's go back to the city." After all, people are social animals, and if they are really far away from society, they may be relatively quiet at first, but after a long time, they will be out of touch with society. And Lao Li also said that the farm is not safe, and there is another point that he did not take into account, what we used to fear the most was zombies, but now there are a lot of plant mutations in the wild, and I am not sure what the negative impact of this mutation will be, but if people are in a relatively isolated and scattered state, I think they will face a lot of dangers that have never been before. ”
After all, he is a biology professor, and he thinks of things that are different from us, but if plants are not safe, why should people live on them? Even if our current physique can't poison any plant we eat, once the plant becomes a disaster, there is a way to make it impossible for humans to eat and walk around.
Wang Zhicheng said: "I don't care, I will go wherever the boss goes, as long as the boss keeps me, I can be a guard." "It's heartwarming, but this guy shouldn't be able to bear the loneliness of going to the farm, and it's not interesting for him to be in a place where there are no people.
Zhao Mo didn't speak, in fact, his social adaptability is not strong, and he is not even as good as the little Taoist Xuanji who knows how to get along with people, and it is he who should go to cultivate, not Xuanji. But he looked at me, and that meant the same as Wang Zhicheng, he would go wherever I went.
I asked, "Brother Mo, do you have the same meaning as Zhicheng?" ”
Zhao Mo nodded.
I smiled and said, "Brother Mo, your affection for me, I can't be a friend in this life, and we will be good friends in the next life." Then I turned to Liang Zhengzheng and said, "Zhengzheng, you won't eat Brother Mo's vinegar, right?" ”
Liang Zhengzheng pursed his lips and said with a blank look: "Boring." ”
I then asked her, "What do you think?" "Anyway, her opinion is absolutely important to me, anyway, she is my woman now, I can't give her anything, but if she wants to go back to that rolling red dust, even if it makes me lose her, I can't erase her wishes.
Liang Zhengzheng said: "Actually, I think the same as Jialin, it is cleaner to go to the farm and stay away from the crowd. But it's up to you, maybe I can go back to school when I go back to the city" She only turned 20 a few days ago, and according to the trajectory of her past life, she should be a sophomore. I didn't expect her to go to the farm more often, so should I take her to hide away? If you go back to the crowd and encounter any bloody plots, it will be disgusting enough.
But, is it necessary to make such malicious speculations about human nature?
Zhao Yingluo said: "When I go back to the city, I have to go to school lightly. "The female killer has a strong sense of motherhood, and this adoptive mother is very dutiful.
mentioned Cheng Qingqing, Lin Lu raised his hand and said: "I second, it doesn't matter where we adults go, but Qingqing needs to grow up in a normal society." ”
However, is the current society normal?
When it comes to Cheng Qingqing, the opinions are unified all of a sudden, and I go back to the city.
For a moment, I felt that it was not for nothing that we people could become a family.
Young reporter Zhou Lingjie is also relatively clear-headed, although the opinions are unified, she also added: "Back in the city, all of us don't necessarily have to stay in the garrison, and we will learn more information in different places." But there is a premise, if we want to live together, we can find a big house, or several apartments next to each other, even if they are crammed into one apartment. We have nothing left to lose, so we can't afford to lose each other, these families. ”
Well said, I gave a thumbs up to the little reporter, the little reporter is quite sensational, and when she was still in the city university, her broadcast was very tear-jerking, but this time she was telling the truth.
Back in the city, back in the city, these months, I thought I would be farther and farther away from her, I thought I would never go home, I didn't expect that I could go back again.
But when it came time to go back, we all found that everything was different from the past.
