Chapter 1 Xingcheng is not a paradise
Two days later, the convoy integrated by Xinhua Community and S University finally arrived at the coveted Xingcheng gathering place.
The road of one hundred and dozens of kilometers took five whole days, an average of less than forty kilometers per day. Compared with the pre-apocalyptic era, this speed is not as good as a bicycle. But in today's environment, it's good to be able to arrive safely.
Xingcheng gathering place is actually not a city. Rather, east of the city of S, near Xingxian County under Wangping Mountain, the location of the 102nd Division. The terrain is surrounded by mountains, which is very conducive to defense.
The 102nd Division is a main division of nearly 20,000 people. However, when the end of the world came, all subordinate troops also suffered heavy losses. Therefore, although the remnants of the various divisions were quickly gathered together, only 3,000 generals remained.
However, now, with the influx of a large number of survivors from surrounding cities and counties, the original military region has begun to be crowded and urgent.
To be honest, look at the gathering place of Xingcheng that is close at hand. Except for Li Mo, everyone in the team almost had the same emotions. That's disappointment, extreme disappointment.
There are no tall and thick walls. Some are just cars, and makeshift broken sheds, a chaotic shed. To be exact, even the shantytowns in the city are inferior.
Looking at the chaotic survivors, although it is not yet to the point of rags, most of them have thin cheeks and a dish-looking face. Almost as soon as you look at it, you can tell that you must be in poor physical condition.
As soon as the convoy approached, hundreds of survivors who had already gathered on the side of the road flocked to the road like beggars, and instantly surrounded the convoy.
"For the stutterers, please, for the stutterers!"
"Good Samaritan! Is there a kind person to give me some food! My son is dying of hunger! ”
"Brothers, as long as you give me a full meal, sister, I can toss whatever you want!"
……
The survivors who surrounded the car in an instant were dumbfounded. One by one, they were all stunned and shocked. Are these survivors like themselves? Are you sure it's not a flooded refugee?
Even Li Mo, who was driving the first car, had to stop the car temporarily. There is no way, the road is completely blocked.
However, around Kosda, he installed bumper plates and bumper frames. So don't worry, the crowd is too close.
"Captain, although I have long understood that Xingcheng is not a paradise. But this is inevitably too much, too ......" the co-pilot's old Gao trembled his lips, "too much" for a long time, and he didn't say a word.
Li Mo just smiled at him and didn't respond.
I saw him pick up the walkie-talkie next to him again, and said in a deep voice: "The person in charge of each car, all show me the people in your car, and no one is allowed to open the window!" Otherwise, if something goes wrong, you will bear the consequences! ”
But as soon as Li Mo's words fell, he caught sight of Fang Qingxue behind Lao Gao, who was holding a loaf of bread and trying to open the window.
"Believe it or not, I'm throwing you down!" When he opened his mouth, he screamed angrily. It seems that Li Mo has been a long time and has not lost his temper with natural dut.
As a result, Fang Qingxue was directly scolded and cried: "Woo~ I was wrong." Good brother, I am, I just see that child is too pitiful. Look at him, he's so thin! ”
Tian Tian Du wiped his tears as he spoke, and he didn't know if it was because of grievances or because he felt too sorry for the child.
Indeed, outside the window beside her, a father was holding a boy who looked like he was only four or five years old, and sent him forward.
That kid was really too thin, and everyone seemed to have only seen this kind of African hunger on the Internet before. But now, it's just a stone's throw away. Whoever sees it will definitely not feel good in their hearts.
But Li Mo ignored the natural stupefies, and retracted his gaze expressionlessly. It's not that he's cruel, it's really this kind of picture, he's seen too much, and he's been numb for a long time.
Gao Meng, as the vice captain, of course, had to stand up when Li Mo was silent, so he cleared his throat and said, "Xiaoxue, don't blame the captain for being angry, he is also for our good." Otherwise, if you open the window, how dangerous it will be if you accidentally be pulled out by someone outside. ”
Although Gao Meng didn't say too deeply, everyone understood it in their hearts. What happens when a large group of hungry survivors see the food being handed out in the car.
Not to mention whether it will cause a robbery, the force of the rush alone may cause a rollover or even a stampede. In that case, not only will the people in the car be harmed, but many people outside the car will also be killed.
However, even if everyone understands the reason, look at the group of survivors like beggars, and look at the slum-like shanty area outside the military district station. Everyone still couldn't help but panic in their hearts, as if they saw themselves in the future.
Fortunately, when they saw the materials in the car, everyone felt a little more at ease. Even Uncle Sanjo and Yan Xing have saved a lot of "belongings" because of Li Mo.
Thinking about it, there was only Xu Hong, and he was in a very bad mood at this time. Looking at her pretty face, it is indeed like being covered with frost. But this girl is not all worried about herself, but more worried about her father.
In this harsh environment, even if my father arrived here safely, how long could he carry the sick body?
And those who have similar thoughts to Xu Hong are Zheng Tong, Qin Yu, Fang Qingxue and Yan Xing, the son-in-law of Uncle Sanjo. The four of them are all natives of S City, and they can't have a glimmer of hope in their hearts about whether their relatives are still alive.
Looking back at the front of him, Gao Meng's words just now were said within half a minute, and the result actually came true.
This is not the back of a Nanjing Iveco belonging to the S major, which suddenly caused a commotion among the survivors outside the car. Even Li Mo and the people next to their car ran towards the back.
Everyone hurriedly looked back and looked through the back window, only to see hundreds of survivors, crowded next to the Iveco as if they were crazy. And then, an S big female student was forced out of the car window.
Then there was nothing to see, because the schoolgirl was completely submerged in the crowd.
"Captain, Captain, there's an accident with car eight behind us. What to do? What can I do? Zhang Chong's anxious shouts came from the walkie-talkie.
"Take care of your own car." But Li Mo only responded indifferently. What else can I do? Do you go out and save people? In terms of ability, he has this ability. However, Li Mo didn't want to care.
It's not that he didn't give orders, it's not that he didn't warn. But if you don't listen, who else can blame? Even if it is well-intentioned, doing bad things with good intentions in the last days is not worthy of sympathy.
As for Iveco, there are even people who have started to climb in through the open windows. However, the people in the car finally reacted and launched a counterattack.
As for the female student who was dragged out, it is estimated that even if she survives, the end will be miserable.
And Gao Meng looked at the situation behind him, and couldn't help but be a little worried, and couldn't help asking: "Captain, it's not a problem to go on like this, if it affects us, it will be troublesome." ”
When Li Mo heard this, he pouted towards the windshield in front of him, and said without hurrying: "Don't worry, no, the person in charge has already come." ”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look over. Sure enough, I saw dozens of soldiers armed with 95 rifles, who were neatly trotting towards this side.
And the appearance of this group of soldiers also made the hundreds of survivors gathered around the convoy instantly chaotic.
"The soldier is coming!" I don't know who shouted, but the survivors seemed to have turned into a herd of wildebeest attacked by lions on the African savannah, and fled in all directions.
"Are these soldiers so terrible?" Zhen Ying looked at the chaos outside in amazement, as if she couldn't believe it.
And the others are similar to her, they didn't expect that the soldiers in the Xingcheng gathering place could actually scare those survivors who are like herself, longing for the hope of coming here, into that look.
