Chapter 43: The Crisis

Since Wang Guoming led the team to seize the grain processing area in the south of the city, and also took away the two squads with the strongest combat effectiveness of the Sharp Knife Squad and the Alien Squad, the strength of Xicheng District has become much weakened.

Although during this time, the army recruited a lot of soldiers, but these are all militiamen, and many of them can't even shoot guns, such combat effectiveness is okay to deal with unarmed ordinary people, but it is a bit insufficient to deal with the terrifying evolved zombies outside.

In response to this situation, the army commander Duan Zhixuan could only order most of the soldiers with combat experience to be sent to the front line of the battle, and always guard against mutated zombies raiding Xicheng District.

At the same time, a large number of newly recruited militiamen were scattered throughout Xicheng District, responsible for maintaining law and order and calming the people's gradually panicked mood.

The army commander Duan Zhixuan personally supported the army's next evacuation plan, how to evacuate, and who would evacuate first, and quarreled fiercely with his subordinates and representatives of official wealthy businessmen.

On the contrary, it is the ordinary survivors with the largest population in Xicheng District, who are not represented at all, and people are not even aware of it. After all, the withdrawal of the army is too big, and if it is hastily announced without coming up with a specific plan, it may cause an uproar and produce unforeseen serious consequences.

But paper can't contain the fire, especially this fire, or some people with ulterior motives deliberately instigated and stirred it up. In the hotel, the heads of the military and the authorities were still arguing fiercely.

In Xicheng District, in the major resettlement communities, and on the streets where many refugees live, there are suddenly many strange rumors.

"Did you hear that the army is already planning to break through on its own, and it doesn't care about our life or death anymore!"

"How is it possible, yesterday the army also issued a notice to stick to Xicheng District to the end, swear to protect our people, Commander Duan is also a good person, how can he ignore us!"

None of the survivors who heard these rumors were initially convinced. But the most disgusting thing about rumors is that you know it's fake, and you can't help but be curious and ask around.

Many of these inquiries have gone wrong, and some people who wear military uniforms and look like soldiers have begun to reveal the inside story.

"Bullshit Commander Duan, this evacuation plan is what he put forward first, what, you don't believe it, don't believe it, listen to this, this is the content of the meeting secretly recorded by a kind commander of our troops......"

Secretary-General Li's ability to spread rumors was really perfect, and he not only arranged for people to spread rumors, but also, most absolutely, secretly distorted and tampered with the content of the meeting, and then spread it in the form of audio recordings.

Hearing the recording, a group of officers were fiercely discussing the evacuation plan, even those who did not believe it were convinced at this time, and they secretly copied the recordings and quickly showed them to their relatives and friends, so that they could prepare in advance.

There are also many close people with these relatives and friends, and of course, they have to copy these fake recordings again and share them with others.

One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, the rumors spread more and more, and the ordinary survivors looked more and more terrifying. At this time, seeing that the heat was almost the same, another group of mysterious people entered different communities and began to reveal the army's evacuation plan.

"Have you heard, the withdrawal of the army this time is divided into levels, and those who have money and power and their families are the first batch to need to be evacuated."

"The second group of evacuees are those who have technology, understand scientific research, and their families!"

"The third group of evacuees are soldiers, as well as their families, and it is estimated that in the near future, the army will secretly start to act!"

At this time, because of the spread of false recordings, 80 percent of the people in Xicheng District already knew the plan for the army to evacuate, and many people immediately became anxious and asked: "What about us, are we ordinary people the last to evacuate?" ”

"Evacuate in the end, how is it possible, Duan Zhixuan made a statement, saying that the army has a limited number of people, limited vehicles, and even more limited food, and he can't take all the people away, so except for the first three groups of people, the rest of the people must give up, let us fend for ourselves, and find a way to break through by ourselves!"

It can be imagined that ordinary people who heard the news were so disappointed and angry in their hearts that some people couldn't help but scold them on the spot.

"Nima's Duan Zhixuan, Lao Tzu fuck your ancestors, those rich people are people, we are not people, why can they evacuate, we will be abandoned!"

"That's it, it's amazing to have money, it's the end of the world, money has become waste paper, they are people, we are also people, why don't you let us evacuate too!"

"Hey, what do you know, if you have money, you have power, those rich people and military officials all wear a pair of pants, where can they care about our life or death, but unfortunately, the officials who can call the shots for us have no real power now!" Someone said with a deliberate sigh.

"Are we just like this, letting the army leave us here, fending for ourselves, being bitten alive by the zombies outside?" Seeing that the heat was almost over, some people showed angry looks, raised their arms and shouted: "Compatriots, we can't compromise like this, we have to expose the true face of those corrupt officials!" Let the army publish the truth! ”

"Yes, that's right! Now that the group of officials are holding a meeting in the hotel, Lao Tzu is desperate for this life, and he has to find those dog officials to talk to him! ”

The crowd was completely enraged, and many angry survivors began to take to the streets, walking towards the hotel where the army was located, and angry crowds continued to join along the way.

At first, the militia responsible for maintaining law and order wanted to stop it, but in the face of the angry crowd's scolding, many of them were also militiamen from ordinary families, and they were also driven by some relatives and friends, so they simply took off their military uniforms, took up arms, and entered the ranks.

The angry crowd grew louder and louder, like a terrible torrent, and gathered around the hotel where the army was located.

There were voices scolding Duan Zhixuan everywhere. There are also people who can't help but shoot in the air to vent their feelings of disappointment, panic, and anger.

The regular army near the hotel alone could no longer suppress it, and in the face of the angry crowd of hundreds of thousands, they did not dare to suppress it at all, so they could only quickly notify the headquarters of the news here.

"What, the plan for the army's withdrawal has been leaked, and there are a large number of survivors making trouble outside!" Duan Zhixuan and a group of officers were in a meeting, and when they heard that more than 100,000 survivors spontaneously gathered at the hotel to denounce them, all the officers were stunned.

After listening to the herald's report, Duan Zhixuan's face turned even more angry, and he smashed his fist on the conference table angrily, "Rumors, this is rumors, who said that the army doesn't care about ordinary people, if I don't care about them, I would have evacuated with the troops a long time ago, and I will have a meeting here, and take the risk of sending troops out to find food for them!" ”

"Commander Duan, now is not the time to talk about this, I am worried that the entire Xicheng District may get out of control, and the consciousness that we are not easy to maintain will also suffer a devastating blow!" Mayor Chen Xiaofang said anxiously.

His words also reminded Duan Zhixuan, "Yes, yes, what Mayor Chen said is right, we must calm down the rumors as soon as possible, stabilize everyone's emotions, and we will all go out, which will give you a reasonable explanation!" ”

At this time, Duan Zhixuan was also panicked, more than 100,000 people made trouble collectively, this is not a joke, if it is not done well, it will cause a serious military-civilian conflict, and the stability of Xicheng District will completely collapse.

Immediately, led by Duan Zhixuan and Chen Xiaofang, a group of middle and senior military officers, as well as the leaders of the city, did not dare to slack off, suspended the meeting one after another, and ran quickly to the outside of the hotel.

Duan Zhixuan walked out of the hotel, and saw countless angry crowds, rushing towards the hotel in black pressure, and the soldiers guarding were pushed down by the angry crowd before they could stop them, and some impatient soldiers couldn't help but prepare to shoot.

"Don't shoot!"

Duan Zhixuan hurriedly spoke and stopped his subordinates, and at this time, Chen Xiaofang also seemed to forget the unpleasantness with Duan Zhixuan, and kindly handed a tweeter to Duan Zhixuan.

Duan Zhixuan, who was anxious to stabilize the mood of the people, didn't have time to think about it, he took the tweeter very gratefully, and hurriedly walked to the front of the crowd.

"Comrades, fathers and fellow villagers, I am the army commander Duan Zhixuan, I can assure you that the army will never abandon you, we are the people's army, we want to go, we want to go together, we have to stay, we will also shed the last drop of blood for you, we will never ignore you, what happened before, there must be rumors, everyone please calm down!"

Duan Zhixuan took the tweeter and persuaded loudly, at this time, the angry crowd felt Duan Zhixuan's gentle attitude, and the anger decreased slightly, and some people began to shout.

"Commander Duan, we don't want to do this either, but we heard that the army is going to start withdrawing, is this true!"

"Commander Duan, I heard that this time the army will be evacuated at different levels, and those who have money and power will evacuate first, and we, the common people, will not care about the army!"

Duan Zhixuan's face turned white, and before people could finish speaking, he had already shouted loudly: "Fart, fart!" Who fabricated this rumor, I, Duan Zhixuan, swear to the sky, even if the last drop of blood is shed, I will give priority to protecting the people and evacuate first, if you don't believe it, I, Duan Zhixuan, can be the last to evacuate! ”

The angry people were shocked. They could tell that Duan Zhixuan didn't seem to be joking, and it was impossible to make a promise in front of so many people.

Could it be that the news just now is really just a rumor, and someone deliberately spread a rumor? Some have begun to regret their involvement.

"Don't be deceived by this old thing Duan Zhixuan, he is a liar, he is deceiving us! Let's not be fooled! Duan Zhixuan, you said that you want to protect us, so do you dare to announce the plan for the withdrawal of the army now! ”

At this time, a very angry voice suddenly came from the crowd, and then a man with a peaked cap who couldn't see his true face suddenly rushed out of the crowd angrily and rushed towards Duan Zhixuan, as if he wanted to catch Duan Zhixuan. 、

"Quick, stop him, don't let this man get close to the commander!" Duan Zhixuan's henchman, division commander Huang Guoshu almost subconsciously felt a trace of danger, he quickly rushed forward and blocked Duan Zhixuan with his body.

The other officers also reacted at this time, and rushed forward one after another, trying to hold down the man, but the man couldn't rush to Duan Zhixuan's side, and was forced to stop ten meters away from Duan Zhixuan.

Then this person raised his head, and with a hideous expression, he quickly took out a snatch from the tightly wrapped coat, "Duan Zhixuan, you go to die!" ”

Bang bang bang!

The continuous gunfire suppressed the noise of the crowd.

"Commander!"

Huang Guoshu, who was blocking in front, almost subconsciously pounced on Duan Zhixuan's side and pressed him down, but his body was beaten into a hornet's nest by bullets, and with a muffled snort, he fell on Duan Zhixuan's body.

"Lao Huang!" Duan Zhixuan was shocked, and then he felt a sharp pain coming from his body, although Huang Guoshu blocked most of the bullets just now, he still grabbed it and hit Duan Zhixuan's shoulder.

The severe pain made Duan Zhixuan's head dizzy, and it didn't take long for him to pass out, and the blood that flowed out also turned jet black. The bullet just now, since it is poisonous!

"Shoot, shoot him! Commander, it doesn't matter if you want it, it's not good, the commander is injured! Call the Medic! "The gangsters shot too suddenly, and it wasn't until the time of the robbery that many officers reacted.

Then some of the officers immediately opened fire, killing the man to the ground, and more officers pounced on Duan Zhixuan and Huang Guoshu. But they soon found out that Duan Zhixuan was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and the division commander Huang Guoshu died tragically on the spot.

Almost at the same time, the army lost two of its highest commanders in a row. A group of brigade commanders and regimental commanders were all panicked and didn't know what to do.

At this time, Chen Xiaofang next to him walked over with a heavy face and exclaimed: "How can this happen, how can this happen!" Investigate thoroughly, this matter must be thoroughly investigated, among these people, there must be dangerous criminals, come here, immediately turn the army on the front line, and give me a careful search for these people! ”

Duan Zhixuan and Huang Guoshu died and fell into a coma, and here it belongs to Chen Xiaofang, the mayor, who has a higher position, and hearing his words, some officers subconsciously prepared to carry it out.

But there were still officers who were calmer, and a young regiment commander said cautiously: "Mayor Chen, this is not good, the army on the front line is used to deal with zombies, and the army commander has ordered that no matter what happens, it cannot be mobilized!" ”

"Presumptuous!"

Chen Xiaofang was furious, and a slap was drawn on the face of the young regiment leader, and he scolded bitterly: "What are you, is the army important or zombies important, zombies come in, we can beat them out, if there is chaos in Xicheng District, we will all be finished, what do you see, if you don't carry out the order, do you also want to question my order as the mayor?" ”

As he spoke, Chen Xiaofang was so awesome that he slapped the opposing regiment leader several times, and then drove him down.

The other brigade commanders were all startled when they saw it, although they were very dissatisfied with Chen Xiaofang, the mayor, meddling in military affairs, but now that Huang Guoshu is dead, and the supreme leader Duan Zhixuan is seriously injured and in a coma, Chen Xiaofang has naturally become the supreme leader here.

With the lessons of his companions, no one dared to question Chen Xiaofang's orders anymore, so they all hurriedly grabbed the walkie-talkie and mobilized their subordinates on the front line.

At this moment, the hundreds of thousands of ordinary survivors who came to make trouble were frightened, and no one thought that their impulse would lead to such serious consequences.

Many people have subconsciously wanted to smear oil on the soles of their feet, but the soldiers who reacted had already blocked the road on all sides in anger, and after shooting and killing more than a dozen suspicious people who wanted to escape by taking advantage of the chaos, the remaining ordinary survivors were squatting on the ground with pale faces, waiting for the army to deal with them.

The scene was full of crying, and Chen Xiaofang also looked sad, personally carrying the unconscious Duan Zhixuan on a stretcher, and walked into the hotel with the military doctor.

It's just that no one noticed that when Chen Xiaofang entered the hotel, his heavy face showed an extremely proud look. Then, taking advantage of people's inattention, he took out a signal transmitter and threw it on the ground.

"Hahaha, the plan went so smoothly, although it's a pity that I didn't kill Duan Zhixuan directly, but the prologue is over, it's time to play!"

Chen Xiaofang thought gloomily.

Didi ......

Di Di Di ......

The signal on the ground worked quickly, sending the signal out, and in the dark corner of a commercial building in the occupied area of Anseong, a signal was heard, and a man with a beard and gloomy eyes suddenly walked out of the shadows, opened his mouth, and emitted a series of silent sound waves.

This man is a strange person who is not under the control of the military, and the area where he is located is also a dangerous area designated by the military.

The military once found an extremely terrifying mutant zombie here, losing more than a dozen tanks in a row, pouring down and Chengton's shells, before seriously injuring the zombie.

At this time, the mutant zombie was hiding somewhere in this area, sleeping quietly and recovering from the wounds on his body, but the sound waves emitted by the man disturbed the sleeping mutant zombie.

Then the mutant zombie immediately let out an extremely angry roar, it hated this strange sound, so instinctively, this mutant zombie began to summon its companions, and rushed towards the place where the sound came from.

The bearded man's face was also very panicked when he saw this, and he didn't dare to turn his head back, but he just sent out that strange sound wave while rushing towards Xicheng District.

There are more and more zombies following the man, not only mutated zombies, but they hate that kind of ugly sound, even if they are ordinary evolutionary zombies, many of them are also enraged, give up sleeping evolution, wake up slowly, and stride towards Xicheng District.

At this time, most of the troops at the outposts on the periphery of Xicheng District retreated back to the hotel under Chen Xiaofang's order to quell the riots.

No one thought that a group of thousands of terrifying zombies had been completely enraged and were quickly moving towards the location of Xicheng District.
