Chapter 145: Artificial
Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~
I smiled and didn't speak, perhaps that would explain where my power came from.
"Uncle."
She looked at me, rolled her eyes, and asked, "Are you going to join those government ministers?" ”
I shook my head: "I don't know, but if it were the army, it would have taken me in." ”
"What if they don't take you in?" She said.
I gently changed my position, let Yu's head rest on my chest, and stretched my numb hand: "I don't know either." ”
"Uncle, in this way, if they don't take you in, you will come to us, right?" She looked at me with an honest face.
I know that the reason she said this was because they took a fancy to my strength, and it was because of my strength that I was worthy. But I'm obviously a little absent-minded, where can I go if the army doesn't take me in? Because according to my plan, it is only possible to leave here and leave the quarantine zone only if I join the army.
"Okay."
I nodded lightly and didn't refuse her.
Time passed little by little, and the atmosphere in the carriage was slightly dull and drowsy.
"Whew!"
With a slam of the brakes, pulled us out of the dreary quagmire.
"Oh! It's here! ”
They cheered, high-fived and hugged each other, and their ordinary faces showed relaxed smiles, probably celebrating that they had come back alive.
I hugged Yu and got out of the car.
Behind them was a cement parapet about seven or eight meters high, and outside the parapet was a tent made of rags or wooden planks, full of ragged survivors, who were wandering around like wandering corpses, no different than the beggars before the disaster.
Some of the survivors had begun to come in groups, their eyes glowing as green as wolves.
Some soldiers climbed into the car and began to move supplies, and the soldiers drove a truck and threw all the supplies into the truck.
"Let's go in!!"
"Let's go in!!"
"We also helped build the wall! Why not let us in! ”
Survivors began to raise their fists and shout, followed by more and more people shouting along.
But I didn't see those soldiers nervous, even if Zhong smiled at them, it was a calm face, a smile on a smile, a chat.
"It's okay, they just shout, they are addicted, they don't shout every day, and they feel uncomfortable."
Zhong Xiaoxiao walked over in two steps, and whispered to me in my ear, "Let's go, we're going in." ”
"Wait a minute!"
A soldier held out his hand to me, and the hand was facing me, motioning for me to stop.
"What's the matter with her?"
The soldier looked at me with a cold face, his gaze sweeping over the body of Yu in my arms.
"I hurt my brain and fell asleep." I explained, then took out the ID book from my trouser pocket and handed it to him, and then saluted: "Air Force, XXXX Zhou He." ”
He didn't give me a gift in return, just glanced at the ID book lightly, and threw it back at me, with a familiar attitude, which made my heart sink slightly, it seems that they don't accept me, and they don't welcome me.
"We need to check if she's been scratched by a zombie." He pointed to the feather in my arms.
"How to check?"
"Undressed."
He glanced at the white legs that were exposed by the wrapped military coat.
I looked down at Yu and looked at him, "Is it a lady soldier checking?" ”
"Male."
He said succinctly.
"Nope."
I shook my head.
Zhong Xiaoxiao next to me pulled my clothes, I knew what she meant, but I shook my head and refused.
"Unknown persons are forbidden to enter the city." The soldier's tone was faintly threatening.
I hesitated, lowered my head slightly, looked at her delicate but bloodless face, a trace of helplessness rose in my heart, and I looked up at the soldiers defending the city who were loaded with guns and ammunition, and I knew that if I refused, this trip would be in vain.
But how can I not refuse? Who knows if these soldiers are blatantly carrying out unspoken rules, it should be their unspoken rules, it should be seen from Zhong Xiaoxiao's expression, in this Hengping City, these people are the king of heaven.
I still shook my head, and heard Zhong Xiaoxiao's slightly regretful sigh, maybe I thought I was too pedantic, right? For I clearly saw a ragged woman in the back spread out her clothes for a soldier to play with, and then the soldiers took her and brought her into the city. From the expressions of the people present, this scene seems to be very normal and ordinary, in fact, it is really normal, after all, when the law and order collapse, no identity can curb the desire to thrive, they are soldiers, they are also people, and they also have desires.
I resisted because their desires were about to be vented on the people I were related to, or rather, it happened that this soldier was coming to menopause and felt uncomfortable, and I became the target of his anger.
Their car started, and Umlong's went in, and I stood where I was, holding her in my arms, holding a backpack in my hand, which Zhong Xiaoxiao gave me, and her heart was really good, and she left me some food.
The soldier returned to the city walls, looking at me with wary eyes, or rather deliberately staring at me, staring at me stupidly. Because Zhong Xiaoxiao said in my ear just now, these soldiers have the power of life and death, and if there are troublemakers, they can shoot them unconditionally. But she told me that if I could find enough supplies, they would let me in.
I can't be stupid for my life, but how can I find food?
I glanced around, and there were wandering survivors everywhere, who were supposed to be kept out of the city for various reasons. And I'm already one of them, and maybe there's a seat left for me to break down my tent at the foot of the city.
In fact, Zhong Xiaoxiao also told me a way, that is, the eastern city wall is relatively weak at night, if I can climb up. And avoid the guards, you can enter the city. I glanced at the walls and thought to myself, it wouldn't be very difficult to climb up.
"Hand over the food!"
A sharp object gently pressed against my waist, and I felt a little amused to hear this threatening sentence, which before the disaster should have been: "Call out the money!" ”
I glanced at the soldiers who were patrolling back and forth by the gate, and they clearly saw what was going on on my side, but they all looked like they were oblivious.
I feel a little sad in my heart that the word 'people' has been spurned by those who have the power to protect them, they have been abandoned, and the collapse of order and law is inevitable. However, those in power do not strive to maintain order and law, but they are artificial.
