Chapter 290: The Course of Suffering
Everyone has had tough years. But most of the time, those tough years end up being the best days of your life, if you get through it.
- Excerpt from Gou Jianqiang's "Strong Life" Australia could not accept a losing war, and in this situation, the army did not hesitate to take over the government, so the few remaining nuclear bombs were dropped on the territory of the United States and several allies by the crazy Australians.
Even the unrelated and mediating powers on the periphery have not been able to run away, and Australia has sent a nuclear bomb to each of them, which is even more unacceptable than the Holocaust of the Axis powers in World War II, and more and more countries are participating in the war.
In fact, at this point, there is no way to sit down and negotiate, no one knows whether Australia still has nuclear bombs, and whether it will continue to throw them, everyone has only one way, that is: you throw me and everyone else.
Australia was wiped out, and tens of millions of civilians were killed and injured.
This result did not make the United States happy, not only did he pay a heavy price, but there were always people who were dissatisfied with him because of the deaths and injuries of civilians, the world was in chaos, nuclear bombs began to fly all over the sky, and the earth was enveloped in the flames of war.
In contrast, the First and Second World Wars became a child's play, and the wails of the surviving human beings filled every corner, making people's hearts palpitate.
Tsunami, earthquakes, mudslides, volcanic eruptions all over the world have devastated the entire earth, and the war has slowly stopped, but humanity has been in a state of extinction and is irreversible. Note: Character anti-filter to watch the latest chapters
Science and technology have stopped developing, human life has instantly regressed to primitive society, the government no longer exists, the army has been damaged, even the most basic electricity, energy and food cannot be guaranteed, and the harsh environment has made it impossible for people to survive.
"I started to go north, and along the way there were wandering, hopeless civilians......"
Even if it was just a memory, Xiao Gou was a little unbearable, his eyes were red, his eyes were confused, his bald head hurriedly snatched the beer in his hand, Tian Rong poured a bottle of water from the top of his head, a chill, and his eyes finally regained some clarity.
The rest of the story was continued by the bald head and Tian Rong, Xiao Gou didn't say a word about his own wandering outside, but Xiao Ke could imagine it, as if what happened after he woke up, and at that time the big battle was over, but sporadic battles in various places still broke out one after another, for the sake of territory, for food, for drinking water, people had to fight with their lives.
"When the war broke out, Tian Rong and I were still at the Anxi base, Mo Qingqing and they were there, Wang Zhijian and Niu Li didn't take long to go to the national security headquarters, and Tian Rong and I were in charge ......of the work for the time being."
The bald head rubbed his scalp, his eyes were full of endless sadness, there were too many comrades and civilians who died in front of him, so much so that his heart slowly hardened, as if he was covered with a steel shell.
There is no one who knows him better than Tian Rong, and the relationship between the two people is more closely connected in the ruins and dark years. Maybe it was to warm each other's hearts, maybe it was the people he knew who died one by one, Tian Rong reached out and hugged his bald head from behind, lay on his back with his face sideways, and closed his eyes slightly.
This is an incomparably strong man, but incomparably vulnerable.
At the beginning of the war, everyone was still commenting on the daily news reports with the excitement of watching, but as more and more countries were involved, and with a nuclear bomb falling on the Pearl of the Orient, at that time, there were almost no more countries on the earth that could stay out of the matter.
Batches of elite soldiers will be pumped out by the national security headquarters, Wang Zhijian and Niu Li are the first to bear the brunt, and there are fewer and fewer people left in the Anxi base. Even so, the bald head is still persistently collecting intelligence every day to help the city provide a more comprehensive plan for urban operation.
At that time, they were very glad that at least Anxi was an inland city, at least the war did not affect Anxi, at least everyone still had little food and clean drinking water, and at least everyone still had electricity to use.
Of course, there are very few vehicles that can be driven, in order to win this war, oil and other war materials have been taken under the control of the state, civilian vehicles abandoned on the side of the road can be seen everywhere, and even the Anxi base, there is only a spare off-road vehicle and two large barrels of reserve oil.
At that time, no one could have imagined that nuclear bombs would be flying all over the sky and radiating everywhere.
Finally, one day, the bald head and Tian Rong woke up from their dream, and in the darkness, the sharp and piercing air defense sirens sounded in the sky, and they never stopped until dawn.
In the sky, bombers spraying the flags of the opposing allies swooped down again and again, the sound of explosions was deafening, black smoke shot into the sky, and the city was full of raging fires and scattered people, and death came.
Overnight, Anxi, which was originally relatively peaceful, became the front line of the battle, and the connection between the Anxi base and the national security headquarters was cut off, and the bald head could not even find a plan of action.
The bombing continued for a whole week, and it was not until those bombers were shot down more and more that Anthy was a little quieter.
"I thought that after the bombing stopped, I could get in touch with the national security headquarters, at least Wang Zhijian, but the result was ......."
The bald head shook his head, during that time, he was restless day and night, without the order of the headquarters, he did not even dare to open the gate of the base to accept refugees, he could only watch those refugees curled up in the street.
"More than a month has passed, and I finally can't help it......"
"My dear, what you did was right, it turns out that you did it right, and we all support you!"
Tian Rong hugged the bald arm and used force, softly and firmly expressing her support for this man, even Xiao Gou nodded, he knew what the bald head did, he always felt that he was quite bald, and now this base may not exist.
Nowhere is safe, and there is no place in modern warfare where the rear is, any city can become the front line, and Anthy is certainly no exception.
The bald head used to be a policeman, and later joined the national security, and his career has been in the disciplined forces for more than ten years, so for him, instructions are everything, no matter what he thinks in his heart, he must have instructions to act, even if this instruction is not logical, just like when he was for Xiao Ke, he and Tian Rong lurked in the development zone of Anxi, and that was also because of Wang Zhijian's order.
However, this time it was different, and his heart was subjected to the torture of morality and conscience every day.
More and more people are losing their homes, and for a month, the bald head can't bear to watch the children and women beat them to death in the streets for a mouse and half a bottle of clean water.
The heart is horizontal, the bald head opens the gate of the base, and the refugees who swarm in occupy the large and small corners of the base, and the former parking lot has become a refugee camp, fortunately, the bald head thought carefully before opening the door, so that the soldiers set up countless tents in the open space, otherwise the base and the street outside will be no different.
It's just that there are more people, and the consumption of food is naturally getting more and more, although the bald head can only supply one meal a day at the beginning, but in less than two months, the reserve of food has been swept away, after all, this is just a small base for national security.
If it weren't for the early days of the war, when Wang Zhijian had just left to be taken over by the bald head, he had ordered a large amount of food to be stored, and according to the little stock at the initial base, so many refugees would have come in for less than ten days, and everyone would have no food to eat.
But even so, the base only lasted two months.
It's just that the food is better, and the fighters go out every day under the command of the bald head to collect everything that can fill the stomach, and the key is medicine. There are more refugees, more and more injured lives, and the base has long been transferred by the headquarters because of the research institute that Xiao Ke established here, and there is only one infirmary, one doctor and two nurses.
Medicines run out even before food, and watching the refugees who were affected by stray bullets die in pain, the bald head didn't even sleep, he had to find a way out for the refugees and the fighters to find a way out for himself.
By this time, the Anxi City Government had been transferred, and the entire city was already in an uncontrolled state, and some hooligans took the opportunity to join the ranks of smashing and looting, and the lives of ordinary people were even more difficult.
"Actually, from the day the refugees were allowed to enter the base, the bald head was to eat one meal in three days, and he said that he was in good health and could bear it, and as a result, he lost 20 kilograms in those two months."
Tian Rong's voice trembled a little, this incident had a great impact on her, and it was this incident that made her fall in love with this man without regrets. A man who can do this for strangers is a man to be trusted and loved no matter what.
Xiao Ke looked at the bald head, no wonder he always felt that it was a little incongruous, it turned out that the bald head was skinny, the cheekbones were high and bulging, and the eye sockets were deep, and he hadn't seen the bald head for too long, so he didn't react at first.
"I'm fine, I'm really fine, how good my body is, you see I'm not doing well now."
Holding Tian Rong's palm with her backhand, her bald head caressed the back of her dry hand, smiling and comforting.
According to preliminary statistics, there are more than 1,000 people in the base, and this is not counting the refugees accommodating the several streets surrounding the base. At this time, the public obviously has a higher sense of trust in the soldiers in green uniforms than in the officials, so even if they sleep on the streets, they prefer to be near the base.
Let the soldiers count the people on the periphery of the base, the bald head is very bitter, more than 5,000 people surrounded this area solidly, fortunately at this time the hostile countries are also too busy to take care of themselves, otherwise according to the initial frequency of air raids, this place will inevitably be the focus of bombing, with countless casualties.
With so many people having to eat, the bald head discussed with Tian Rong and convened a secret meeting of the soldiers. He wanted the refugees to participate, but Tian Rong stopped him.
