Chapter 142: Emergencies

At seven o'clock in the morning, the survivors living at the United Nations headquarters began to leave their rooms intermittently, and when they went outside to prepare for work, they found a large number of armed men gathered on the grass, numbering more than two hundred, and several important people in the organization were also there, these people formed a circle, and among them, the grass was covered with cardboard, and on the cardboard, there were extremely large numbers of guns and ammunition, long guns and short guns and bullets of all kinds, because there were too many of them. So those guns piled up all over the box look like a hill.

These are the same weapons that were seized by surprise last night.

At this time, the total population of the United Nations headquarters exceeded 4,000 people, a quarter of them were armed men, and there were more than 3,000 people left, all of whom had their firearms confiscated, and the weight of a pistol was about one kilogram, and the weight of a long gun was very different because of its structure and size, but the weight difference was very large, ranging from a few kilograms to a dozen kilograms, and here, there were four or five thousand guns, plus hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition, with a total weight of more than ten tons, and the scene piled up together looked very shocking, like a small mountain

At first, the armed men did not speak, but the people gathered more and more, and when the number reached a certain number, David came out of it, stood on the wooden box prepared in advance, and after making sure that all the survivors who had gathered could see him, he began to speak.

"What happened yesterday afternoon, I think you should all know, because of a small dispute...... It is a tragedy that more than 20 innocent lives have left us because of a small accident...... That's what I don't want to see, and I think that's what you don't want to see, very suddenly, too suddenly...... Among the dead is also a friend of mine, originally that incident had nothing to do with him, but he didn't expect to be stray bullet...... "David spoke very slowly, his eyes kept scanning the survivors who gathered over, the survivors were looking up at him, the number of people continued to increase, when he mentioned his friend, David suddenly became a little sad, his voice stopped and didn't continue, he lowered his head to adjust his state, took a deep breath, and raised his head again.

"I think you should know the reason for last night's action, it is because of yesterday afternoon's incident, the management here has been very lax before, and because of this, the tragedy was caused, we don't want this kind of thing to happen again, here, we are responsible for safety, I know that you are uncomfortable and resentful, so ...... Now......" David said as he jumped off the wooden box and waved his hand at the armed men in a circle behind him.

Several armed men made a hole so that the survivors could see the scene inside, and David turned sideways and pointed to the guns and ammunition inside and said: "In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, yesterday's action was very sudden, and I didn't give you a chance, now I give you a chance, whoever wants a weapon, go get it...... Then leave here with your weapons, you can tell each other, inform the people in the building, give you an hour, give up your weapons and choose to accept our protection, you can go to work now, we found a warehouse for bacon a few days ago, and we will give you some at noon. ”

With that, David straightened up, his hands in his pockets, his body slightly arched, his mouth pursed, and his eyes kept sweeping over the faces of these survivors.

The intention of this is very simple, that is, to nip in the bud all the bad things that can happen, if there is no scene today, then these survivors, who far outnumber the armed personnel, may break out into a large-scale strike at the instigation of some people, followed by a protest outside the library, or be angry and do something to harm the members of the armed group, these are all possible, after all, last night, the armed men forcibly took away their self-defense firearms, in other words, robbed the property that belonged to them.

And after today's incident, all the people who stayed behind have their mouths blocked, and they have already made a choice, and there is no reason to make any more trouble.

The number of survivors gathered on the grass has exceeded eight hundred, and some of them listened to David's words and immediately turned away, and there are not a few such people, they want to open, and they want guns to ensure their own safety, since the safety is protected, what do you want guns for? What human rights are not human rights, for the time being, they don't think about it, this is the end of the world, and now they just want to live, and they don't want anything else.

A lot of people dispersed for a while, but there were still two or three hundred people who remained where they were, not that they wanted to leave, but that they were hesitant, they did not want to leave, and they did not want to give up their right to carry guns.

In the distance, there were many people walking towards the meadow, some still running, they did not know what was happening, and the number of survivors on the meadow was slowly increasing after a sharp decrease.

"This is where everyone is building together, why are you driving us away?" Suddenly there was a shout from the crowd, followed by a number of echoing shouts.

"yes, why did you drive us away?"

"You don't have that right."

"This is ours.

“……”

Obviously, that sentence triggered a chain effect, and more and more people said such things, some were whispering and communicating quickly with the people around them, and some directly shouted in protest, and David, who was standing in front of the armed men, suddenly made a gesture to the armed personnel behind him.

Click......

The armed man raised the semi-automatic rifle in his hand in unison, and the muzzle was aimed at the survivors, and the survivors all shut up in an instant, David hung his head, pulled one hand out of his pocket and rubbed it under his nose, and inserted it back, he seemed to want to say it again, he was a little bit of a person who didn't like to say cruel words, he preferred to do it directly.

"There's something you need to figure out." Suddenly a woman's shout came from among the armed men, it was Hillary, she walked out of it with a black umbrella, and stood next to David, surrounded by four armed men who were nearly 1.9 meters tall.

"You must understand that it is us who exchange food for your labor, we have never persecuted or instigated you, I have paid you, this has become a borderless land after the disaster, we came here first, we are the masters here, and our warriors risk their lives every day to go out to collect food, in other words, here is our final say, this will never change, who has doubts, stand up and speak, let me know who you are, don't hide inside." Hillary Clinton spoke sternly, her eyes scanning the hundreds of survivors not far away.

Silence, everyone is silent, Hillary is right, except for those who are punished, the rest of the people here are not persecuted or instigated, they will get enough food every day as long as they work, at noon and at night, sometimes there will be surplus, the last days when resources are scarce, the value of food is self-evident, this is no longer an equivalent exchange, Hillary's remuneration can be described as extremely high, they have never been starved, they really have no reason to say that they are the masters here.

Moreover, who would dare to say at this time?

"Didn't you?" After a moment of silence, Hillary spoke again, her eyes glancing over and over as some people avoided Hillary's gaze.

"It's fine if not, it looks like there's no doubt about the question, let's continue ......" Hillary raised her hand, glanced at the watch on her wrist, and said, "Fifty minutes to go." With that, Hillary returned to the house, accompanied by four escorts.

The survivors began to look at me, I look at you, hesitated, and after about two minutes, someone finally stepped out of the crowd, it was a black man in his twenties, who was at the age of young and vigorous, he seemed to be alone, pursed his lips and said nothing, walked past David, and walked inside.

There was an armed man standing next to the pile of weapons, and when the black man approached the pile of weapons, he stopped at the signal of the armed man, who picked up a semi-automatic rifle from the pile of weapons, handed it to the black man, and took a pistol and a bag of bullets and put it in the black man's hand.

"There are no bullets in the gun, the bullets will be loaded after they leave here, there is a separation zone within two kilometers outside, except for the guards we have planted, no one can stay there, making a movement may attract zombies, get out of here, you have to go farther." The armed man gave a quick explanation, and the black man didn't say anything, turned away with his weapon.

……

As time passed, many people left the meadow and went back to work honestly, and there were a few people who came out of the crowd and received weapons, and they would leave the place under the watchful eye of the armed men all the way until they left the fence.

A middle-aged couple walked out of the crowd, hesitated and walked a few steps inside, but stopped, it was the husband who had been holding his wife's hand and walking forward, but at this time it was the wife who was behind who grabbed the husband, the husband looked back at his wife's face, the wife shook her head at him, the two looked at each other for two or three seconds, the husband sighed, turned around and pulled his wife to work.

Fifty minutes later, when the time was up, the survivors came and went, and eventually dispersed, and most of the people who chose to leave were young people, counting on both hands, and the rest chose to give up the right to bear arms and stay here for protection.

In fact, it cannot be said that it is completely abandoned, because when the weapons were collected, they were left some, but very little, and they could not be taken out of their homes.

And from this day on, there is a new rule here, the new survivors are not allowed to carry hot weapons at all, and all weapons must be handed over before entering here, and after arranging the room, a small number of weapons will be appropriately distributed by the armed personnel, of course, they still cannot be taken out of the room.

On this day, a very interesting thing happened, among the more than 3,000 survivors here in addition to the armed personnel, there were more than 200 survivors with male surnames who suddenly chose to join the armed group, all of them were about thirty or forty years old.

After these people went through the necessary review and determined that there were no people on the "blacklist", Hillary took them all, there was nothing to fear, their minds were nothing more than to have a gun in their hands to feel more at ease, and they could quickly take care of their families with weapons and enough bullets in case of emergency.

The so-called blacklist people are actually some important people in Hillary's opponent organizations, although those organizations were quickly eliminated by Hillary with strong means, but it is inevitable that some core personnel are still alive, Hillary has made a list for this, and there are hundreds of people with portraits or photos.

Hillary couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't sneak in, because it wasn't a completely closed place, and it wouldn't be difficult for them to avoid the armed men at the entrance, so Hillary could only try to make sure that there were no enemies among the men she fed.

What happened last night and this morning seems to be only a small episode, although the battle is very large, and the changes are great, in fact it has not caused any impact on the construction here, the wall has been built a third, some of the places where the houses are going to be built, the foundations have been dug and there are enough people, and now the main problem is that all kinds of materials needed for construction are still very scarce, it is not easy to collect, Manhattan has been built for so many years, there is no large construction site to be found, Now if you want to get steel bars, cement, masonry, wood and other things, you have to look for them on construction sites in other districts of New York, and transportation is also very problematic.

In short, it was difficult to collect those things, not in a day or two, and there were a lot of arrangements and contingency measures to be done on the way, and for this reason, Hillary Clinton was already busy every day, and she now had the urge to tear down the building outside and pull the debris back to build the walls and houses.

And at dusk that day, Hillary, who was in a relaxed mood because of the resolution of the conflict crisis, became anxious again because of the unexpected event, and even ...... Very angry!

At five o'clock in the afternoon, in the middle of the corridor on the ninth floor of the Secretariat Building, the only corner is a cul-de-sac only five or six meters deep, and there are two opposite doors on the walls on both sides of the innermost, which can be seen from the icons on the doors, which are the men's and women's toilets.

At this time, the place was already full of armed men.

Fifteen minutes ago, Arnold, a tall white man of about forty years old, entered the men's restroom on the ninth floor.

Seven minutes ago, Arnold was found dead in the bathroom, sitting on the toilet and having his throat slit, and by the time he was found, blood had flooded half of the bathroom floor.

A minute earlier, Hillary had arrived in the men's restroom on the ninth floor of the Secretariat building, guarded by a group of guards.

Arnold was one of her most trusted subordinates, who was in charge of the secretariat building, but now died quietly in the building she managed. (To be continued.) )
