Chapter 108: Suppressing Conflict

Because Ling Tao was the youngest among the more than 20 people in a platoon, and he had the shortest time to train, for his safety, squad leader Zhang deliberately instructed him, purely out of love for his comrades-in-arms, and nothing else.

"Rest assured, squad leader, we know that this is Xiao Tao's first mission, and he can't say that he wants to see blood, hehe, he can quickly become a man after seeing blood", Tian Guang in the car said, causing the group to laugh, but it diluted the pressure brought by the task, and the mood was a lot easier.

They didn't know what Ling Tao had experienced before, otherwise they wouldn't have said such things.

Ling Tao didn't act as a hero, knowing that they were all good to themselves, he smiled shyly: "Thank you big brothers, but I'm not a vegetarian either, and I will never drop the chain if there is anything."

"Okay, this is like a man, okay, let's check your equipment, don't drop the chain when the time comes", squad leader Zhang said with a rare smile, and retracted into the cab after speaking.

The School of Economics, where they were on their trip, was not in the downtown area, but in the suburbs, and of course, the area was surrounded by the city walls that were being built.

Because of the sudden change in the world, people from all over the world gathered in S City, although they did not pass through the downtown area, but along the way, they could still see many temporary tents and board houses, and armed men patrolled everywhere.

Tong guò and Wang Jun's small talk, Ling Tao knew that in fact, some people in the upper echelons of the country had raised objections, that is, the population was too concentrated, and once a disaster broke out, it could not be contained, and the people were dispersed, but this mention was refuted by many people, on the grounds that ordinary people have no combat effectiveness, and once they lose the strength of the group, they will definitely not be able to survive in the wild, after all, ordinary people are unarmed, and although it is risky to gather everyone together, it is so good to concentrate on protection.

Although everyone knows that dispersing people can avoid large-scale disasters, China's national situation is different from that of Western countries, many of which do not restrict civilians from owning firearms, and even if they are dispersed in the face of mutated creatures, they can survive with firearms, but China does not allow civilians to have firearms, so centralized protection is inevitable.

Everyone knows about such drawbacks, but those in power will certainly not allow civilians to possess firearms for the sake of their own rights, and if this opening is opened and everyone has guns, once people with bad intentions raise their arms and pull up an armed force, it will pose a huge threat to their rights.

The reality is so cruel, the ancient landlords annexed the land for their own interests, and the modern authorities also have to use strong force to deter the common people.

The Faculty of Economics, on the day the world changed, stopped holding classes, but turned the entire school building into a settlement site, and even built a lot of tents and board houses to house a large number of people, so that the college, which originally had almost 10,000 people, now has nearly 50,000 people living here.

As soon as there are many people, there will definitely be all kinds of contradictions and conflicts, in today's panicked situation, a little wind and grass will cause people to be uneasy, this time I don't know what kind of thing, the students of the School of Economics and the civilians who were placed here clashed, and the scale is not small, the armed forces responsible for deterring people here can not be suppressed, so they ask for help from the army, this is the reason why Ling Tao and they went out on a mission.

Of course, because there are too many people in the School of Economics, it will definitely not be just Ling Tao and his platoon of people who come, but a regiment of 1,500 soldiers will be mobilized to suppress this chaos, Ling Tao and they are just one of them, plus the armed forces originally stationed here, it is enough to suppress this large-scale chaos.

As an ordinary soldier like Ling Tao and them, the specific reason must not be known, and they only need to obey the orders of their superiors when the time comes.

The strength of a regiment, more than 100 military pickup trucks, formed a long convoy and marched towards the School of Economics, so that the ordinary people who saw this qiē on the side were shocked, and the Chinese people are like this, once it comes to the dispatch of troops, it is equivalent to an earth-shattering event.

Ling Tao and his platoon of dozens of people were in the rear of the army, and when they got off the bus, they didn't approach the gate of the School of Economics at all, so they could only get out of the car and gather and run over.

When Ling Tao and the others came to the academy, they were also frightened by the situation here, on a standard football field, tens of thousands of people were crowding and scolding, most of them were holding weapons, and they could lead to physical conflicts at any time, and more people were watching around, and the whole scene was extremely chaotic.

In the middle of the crowd on the playground, there were hundreds of people in police uniforms holding rubber rollers and explosion-proof shields to pull up the human wall, trying to separate the two groups of people, but Rao was so, the people on both sides were squeezing in the middle, trying to fight with the people on the opposite side, making the people who maintained order in the middle miserable, if it were not for the guns and weapons taken by the people on both sides, the scene would have been out of control.

After entering the academy, the head of the regiment and the person in charge here communicated for a short time, and they didn't understand exactly what was going on, but they knew that they had to calm down the riot first and then find out the cause, so they urgently ordered.

Divide 500 soldiers to expel the tens of thousands of onlookers around them and let them return to their respective places of residence, 500 regular troops, fully armed, and the onlookers are just unarmed ordinary people, who dares not to obey the arrangement? In the face of the cold muzzle, many people ran away without arrangement.

The remaining 1,000 soldiers surrounded the playground and found the reason for the scene.

And Ling Tao and their platoon were assigned the task of surrounding the playground, and under the order of Platoon Commander Sun, dozens of them cooperated with others to form a circle to surround the entire playground.

Next, dozens of high-power searchlights were turned on, illuminating the entire playground in detail, and at this time, the crowd of people who were originally clashes found that they were surrounded by regular troops, and they immediately panicked.

"Everyone, give me peace", suddenly a loud roar rang out, drowning out the chaotic sound of thousands of people in the playground, of course, the sound came from a high-powered speaker.

Ling Tao's position was in the middle of the two sides of the conflict, and from here he could see the rostrum on the edge of the playground on the other side, although it was far away, but the light was bright, but he could see that the person who spoke seemed to be the head of the white regiment who picked him up that day.

Although Regiment Leader Bai spoke, no one in the chaotic crowd listened to him, and he was still scolding at the other side, and it was so chaotic that he couldn't do it.

Ling Tao is just a big soldier now, he only needs to follow orders, and now he is holding a Type 95 rifle to face the crowd like everyone else, so that no one dares to approach them.

Taking advantage of this moment to look at the two sides, Ling Tao found that on both sides of the conflict, the one with a small number of people was obviously students, while on the other side were ordinary people in society, wearing everything.

"Strange, it's obvious that there was a conflict between the students and the people who were placed here, what is the reason for the two sides? Could it be that these economics students feel that they occupy a place to study?" Ling Tao wondered in his heart.

"Have you heard it quietly for Lao Tzu", the head of Bai on the rostrum found that there was no one to bird him, and he was so angry that he almost smoked.

Next to Ling Tao was Tian Guang, and at this time he smiled at Ling Tao and said: "Captain Bai actually has a time when he is deflated, haha, it's so funny, these guys in society don't like him, I'm afraid these guys are going to be unlucky."

On the rostrum, Captain Bai found that there was no one and no bird himself, and suddenly his eyes were gloomy and he said: "All of them, give me a warning, I will see who is still fooling around."

Obviously, this order was issued to the soldiers around the playground, and his orders were issued, including Ling Tao, all of them stared at each other, and the soldiers took obedience to orders as their duty, and they didn't care if the orders of their superiors were right or wrong, just implement them, and if they were wrong, there were people at the top who would ask about it, and they would not find trouble with the big soldiers.

The sound of a thousand soldiers pulling the bolts of their guns was not eye-catching, but the sound of a thousand guns pouring bullets into the sky together was very shocking, and it suddenly overshadowed the voices of both sides of the conflict.

When the people were quiet and the gunfire stopped, suddenly there was a loud sound again, which was very abrupt.

"Eh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I fired two more shots in a moment of excitement", Ling Tao found that the soldiers on the left and right were looking at him with strange expressions, and immediately said quickly, but no one cared about him, and smiled at him understandingly.

The extra few shots just now were made by Ling Tao, and he couldn't stop ...... excitement for a while!

At this time, no one cared about his mistake, and after the scene quieted down, the head of the white regiment on the rostrum took the microphone and said in a deep voice again: "Everyone pay attention, all squat down for me, if someone does not obey the order, I have the right to shoot him directly"!

After hearing this, the two sides of the conflict all shook their bodies, squatted down obediently, and joked, they are just ordinary people, how can they be qualified to argue with the regular army.

In this way, the scene was finally controlled.
