Chapter 82: Such a Miserable Situation (Part 1)
Yang Ba's hand quickly reached out as he spoke, but he didn't have any thoughts because of the other party's questioning, but handed it out with a black plastic bag and said: "It's really unlucky this time, I didn't catch anything, not to mention that I folded several brothers, only this little thing, you take it to the brothers, and the next time the whole ticket is big, I will definitely give you a big gift." ”
Although the black plastic bag obscures the view, it can be seen from the boxy edges and corners at the bottom that it contains cigarettes. Although I don't know what brand this cigarette is, the platoon leader's eyes still lit up when he saw it, and he smiled while taking the plastic bag: "I guess I misunderstood, there are a lot of people under your kid, and you should be wrong!" ”
The check-in was very simple, the soldiers just looked inside the carriage and then scanned the person a few times with something like a probe stick, and the check was finished. The car was empty, which proved that Yang had nothing to gain from going out eight times. Seeing that the inspection was completed, the platoon commander waved his hand, "Let's go in!" It's still early, so get ready early, maybe you'll be back and forth in the evening! Now that there is a lack of everything in the base, you kid and be smart! ”
"To borrow your auspicious words, I'll go back and get ready to go!" Yang Ba hurriedly smiled: "Then let's go first, please take care of me in the future!" ”
"Hehe, care is for sure, who told you kid to come back, hurry up!" The platoon leader laughed, and waved his hand again and again to urge Yang Ba to leave quickly, because at this time, two more cars came from behind.
Looking at the four cars gradually moving away, the platoon commander pursed his lips and shook his head and muttered: "This Yang Ba is really unlucky, he was surrounded by zombies in less than half an hour after he went out, and it was indeed tragic enough to kill zombies with a steel pipe!" As he spoke, his face turned grim, and he turned and walked to the two cars behind him.
"Aren't they afraid that we will come back from outside and have wounds on our bodies that have been scratched by zombies?" Inside the car, Shen Yan frowned and asked. He couldn't believe that the security measures at this base could be so outrageous, knowing that even letting even one infected person inside could cause the entire base to collapse from the inside.
"I don't know! I only know that the scanner they used before was brought by the troops who fled from Shanxi, and it seems to be able to detect whether people are infected by the virus! Anyway, it's been so long, and nothing has happened with that thing! Seeing that the car had passed the six or seven meters high wall on the inside of the Hexian base, which was still being raised, Yang Ba asked rhetorically: "Brother Shen, where are we going?" ”
"Go to the Peaceful Homeland!" Shen Yan, who was pondering because of Yang Ba's words, responded casually, and then added: "The people who asked you to go back first, don't follow us, by the way, don't let them talk nonsense!" ”
The convoy stopped, and Yang Ba shouted a thousand instructions from the thin monkey and asked him to return to the station with three cars, and he became a guide on the Land Rover! Xianghe Home, which used to be the second most heavily defended place in the entire base, was once inhabited by the families of soldiers. However, since the struggle for power in the base began, the various forces have drawn a clear line within the base, and moved their forces to their respective territories, which is now an unmanaged area, and even a "slum" in the base.
Xianghe Home is a small community of more than a dozen residential buildings, located almost in the middle of the entire site. According to the habitual thinking, such a place should be the safest, where the command and management center of the base is placed, but precisely because her position is in the central zone, under the control of several forces, it has become a buffer zone for unmanaged forces.
According to Yang Ba, there are a total of three existing forces in the entire base. One is directly under the former Armed Police Corps in Fengcheng; One is the police and scattered garrisons gathered by the leaders of the original political axe; The last group is the troops from Shanxi who have retreated here.
Among the three strengths, the troops directly under the Armed Police Corps suffered heavy losses after several battles with the zombie group because of the development of the Hexian base, and now the strength is the weakest, with less than 5,000 soldiers; The strongest is the troops who retreated to this place on the Shanxi side, and the other side brought a large amount of armaments and materials when they came, and the original team of less than 2,000 people has become nearly 10,000 after recruiting a group of survivors; And the force led by the head of the political axe was originally the weakest with less than 1,000 people, but in the past month, it has suddenly grown to more than 3,000 people!
There are some discrepancies between these news and the news that Shen Yan learned before. However, the disaster has been happening for six months, and the attrition and increase of troops are inevitable, and he didn't pay attention to it!
The road conditions in the base are not bad, but there are many people coming and going, which makes it difficult for vehicles to drive quickly. Along the way, Yang Baji told Shen Yan about the situation of the Hexian base as much as he knew, and Shen Yan was like a mirror in his heart with such cooperation, but he didn't have the heart to pay attention to these at the moment, the only thought was to find his family as soon as possible, as for the other party, if what he said before was true, if he really took in some old people and children, it was not impossible to take them back to the train station at the end together.
The car walked very slowly, but it still arrived at the peaceful home community with Shen Yan. The so-called peacefulness, when Shen Yan came here, he didn't feel peaceful at all, but had the feeling of the dark street where the protagonist lived when he saw the orphans of the fog.
The sun overhead was shining brightly, and the sun was shining on the earth, but it couldn't bring a little light to the community. This gloom is not a comparison between light and darkness, but a reflection of people's emotions and people's state at the moment.
It was already very cold in the northwest in November, but the people Shen Yan could see were still wearing summer clothes, even if they were better, they were just a black coat on the outside, and they were still in tatters!
There are 18 residential buildings in the whole Xianghe Home Community, each of which is a six-story building with four units, and according to the calculation of three or four people per household, such a community can accommodate three or four thousand people, and it is not difficult to double it if you squeeze it again. But what Shen Yan saw was the tattered tents between each building, and the people lying in the tents as if they were dead.
Land Rover was unable to move forward after reaching the gate of the community, because even the concrete roads in the community were replaced by tents, leaving only a two-meter-wide road for people to pass.
Seeing that Shen Yan's face was getting more and more wrong, Yang Ba introduced in time: "This was originally a place where the families of soldiers lived, but because of the fighting above in the last two or three months, although this place is located in the center, it has become a three-way zone. Many of the original family members have been taken away by their respective forces, and those who have not left are the families of the dead and wounded soldiers, and with the entry of other survivors, this has become a slum for the entire base. However, although this is a three-way zone, because it is the meeting point of the three forces, it has also become the most complicated area. ”
The cold weather and leaky tents made many people huddle with each other. Hunger made them so weak that they huddled there without moving, as if every movement would consume all their strength. Shen Yan saw children, old people, and people with crippled bodies, and these people didn't even bother to lift their eyelids when Shen Yan and them walked by.
"Mom...... Mother...... I'm ......hungry," a faint voice came from the side, a broken tent by the side of the road, made of a few sticks and a few tattered clothes. Through the hole, Shen Yan could see that there was a woman lying inside, and a little girl was lying on the woman's body, and in the face of the little girl's voice, the woman could only hold the little girl tightly with tears in her eyes.
"Niuniu is holding on, Dad will be back soon, and we will have something to eat when we come back!"
The people who watched this scene were filled with compassion in their hearts, and Shen Yan had the idea of transferring all the troops at this moment and directly bulldozing the three forces in the base. When Cheng Yanqiu saw this scene, her eyes had become red, but when she was about to step forward, she was grabbed by Shen Yan.
"Are you ......" Cheng Yanqiu wanted to question, but when he saw that Shen Yan's eyes were also red, the rest of the words finally did not continue.
Indeed, each of the five of them had a space of fifty cubic meters, which contained a large amount of weapons and equipment, as well as a large amount of food. But what's the situation like in front of you? There are thousands of people in sight alone, how many can they help? It is conceivable that if she gave the little girl food at this moment, she would soon be surrounded by everyone here, and at that time, it is hard to imagine what would happen under the chaos! Save for sure, but not right now!
Six months is not a long time, but the experience of these six months has made Shen Yan have already completed a transformation. He had seen too many miserable scenes, and his heart had turned into iron and stone, but he would not be easily moved. It's not cold-blooded, it's calm! Of course, when he was getting closer and closer to his family and the fear in his heart was getting heavier and heavier, his calmness had turned into anger.
"Don't those three forces have no one to care about them and leave them to fend for themselves?" Shen Yan pointed to the surrounding survivors and asked in a deep voice.
Yang Ba said bitterly: "Someone is in charge?" The people on the side of the original armed police corps and the people on the side of the political axe will distribute some food every day, and the troops from Shanxi will start to do the same, otherwise these people will probably die a long time ago! However, the people on the Shanxi side were purposefully distributed, and when they finished recruiting soldiers, they stopped, and the following political axes were the same. Now only the people of the former armed police corps still insist on coming over every day to distribute some food, but those can only keep these people alive. But then again, the Armed Police Corps is also ...... Alas, don't talk about it, Brother Shen, we've arrived! ”
