Chapter 32: The Heart of a Veteran
Chapter 32: The Heart of a Veteran
Since the door opened, Ouyang Hua's originally snow-white hair began to gradually return to jet black, and now he looked just a middle-aged man with a little gray hair.
As a traditional soldier, in Ouyang Hua's eyes, it was the biggest shame in his life that he was going to die of illness. In his opinion, the horse leather shroud may be the best destination for a person like him.
However, on the day the "door" opened, he suffered from bone cancer and returned to his hometown to die, but he was unexpectedly cured and miraculously regained part of his youth.
Then the Awakened disaster broke out, and the government formed an evolutionary army, and before the conscription order was issued, he, a veteran, took the initiative to come to the door and took the lead in forming a team of evolutionaries. For Ouyang Hua, he has lived in the world for more than 70 years, he has seen all the ups and downs in the world, and in his twilight years, he still has the opportunity to go to the battlefield, his mentality is similar to Lin Feng, and he has an indescribable excitement.
The only difference between the two is that Lin Feng believes that now is the heroic era of doing great things, while he thinks more that he can finally fight like a warrior again, without having to die of old age.
Looking at Lin Feng's back who went out, Ouyang Hua fell into deep thought.
As a traditional soldier, he was actually very dissatisfied with the Su zhì of his subordinate evolutionary troops, but he was also very helpless. Compared with the troops he led in the past, these improvised evolutionary troops are simply a "people's soldiers" who have been put together by a lot of people. The current era is no better than the previous era of patriotism and dedication. Most of the evolutionaries with superpowers were forcibly recruited into the ranks, lacking the dedication required of a qualified soldier, both mentally and consciously. To paraphrase an old saying, the mind does not keep up, and the army has no soul.
In the past, they could have been transformed through guò and through ideological education, but in this extraordinary time of humanity's "race" with the awakened, this is simply impossible. Just like last night's battle, if these evolutionaries could have the will to fight like ordinary warriors, they might not have lost to the terrible awakened last night. However, these improvised evolutionaries can win but not lose, they can't fight tough battles at all, and they are completely a rabble in terms of fighting will.
However, the shape in front of them has become more and more clear, the evolution speed of the awakened is amazingly fast, and if this continues, unless thermonuclear weapons are used, the advantage of conventional thermal weapons will be smaller and smaller. In the battle with the Awakened in the past few days, Ouyang Hua had already foreseen that this war between humans and the Awakened would be protracted, and it was also inevitable for the Evolvers to become the main force in the confrontation between humans and the Awakened.
But now, the evolutionary suddenly has superpowers overnight, like getting rich overnight, and many people are out of balance, and it is undoubtedly quite difficult for the old regime, which represents the old world order, to control and direct them. Take the more than 100 people in this evolutionary brigade as an example, 160 people were forcibly recruited into the army, and so far in the war, in addition to the 35 people who died in the war, there are still 105 people, and the remaining 20 people, together with their families, mysteriously "disappeared" during the war.
The twenty missing people are all complete body evolutionaries with superpowers. Where they went, he was so big that he could imagine it: it was nothing more than an imbalance in his mentality after gaining power overnight, and he wanted to take advantage of the last days to occupy the mountain as the king and occupy a piece of the country for himself.
In the past, such desertion would have been severely punished, but in this apocalyptic world, where everything was destroyed and shattered, the government could not do anything. Every day, the power of the awakened is increasing, and in the same way, the power of the evolutionary is also increasing, which Ouyang Hua, who is also an evolutionary, also feels it, and the only thing that has been constantly weakened is the control power of the old order and the old regime.
The world is in chaos, the old order is completely collapsing, this is already inevitable.
As an old man who has experienced more than 70 years of ups and downs, he knows very well in his heart what terrible disasters ordinary people will suffer in the process of the collapse of the old order and the re-establishment of the new order. Although the veteran is also a powerful evolutionary, he wants to stop this qiē, but he has no power.
The old general has realized that at this time, what is needed is a powerful force, or some iron-fisted person, to unite the scattered evolutionary forces in order to deal with the increasingly terrible crisis of the Awoken. Unfortunately, in the past twenty years, the country has accumulated too much injustice and resentment, and when the end of the world comes, these resentments have erupted at this time through the crisis of the awakened, and it is difficult to make these evolutionaries who suddenly have great power work for them simply by shouting patriotism and dedication.
And after this young man named Lin Feng appeared, his appearance made the general's eyes shine, and he even had a heart of love. He has great strength, but in the last days, he can not lose his heart and help the weak, which is a quality that is hard to find in the eyes of the old general. It was only through his years of life experience that he understood that he had to observe carefully to decide whether this young man could be entrusted with important tasks. After all, this is the end of the world, and the end of the world is chaotic, and it has always been an era when all kinds of "heroes" have surfaced and demons are dancing. The old man's steadiness made him want to observe the young man more, so as not to trust him to someone else.
Shortly after the merger of the two convoys, the road ahead was cleared and the combined convoy continued to move forward. The remaining distance is only fifteen kilometers, and in the Taiping era, it was only a dozen minutes away, but now......
After three kilometers, the convoy stopped again, and the road was again blocked by vehicles. The intelligence of the awakened has improved, but the scheme they have now "come up" is very speechless - because it is a trick to repeat the old age, the first time it can surprise humans, the second time it is to sigh, and the third time it will be laughed at.
With Lin Feng's humanoid radar present, this ambush of the Awakened quickly turned from a joke to a disaster. Under Lin Feng's guidance, the human beings just used hot weapons to beat them up for a while, and they lightly killed them all over the field. So far, in the confrontation between humans and the Awakened, the advantage of hot weapons is still quite obvious, but how long can this advantage last?
After a few kilometers of travel, due to its proximity to Huanghua City, special troops repeatedly "cleaned" the surrounding area, and on the way, they also encountered a military patrol convoy and arrived at Huanghua City all the way.
When the convoy arrived in Huanghua City, it was working overtime to urgently build a fence around the city.
Unlike Fengcheng, which is based on tourism, Huanghua is a heavy industry city that has developed on coal and steel. It is close to the river, and Fengwei Mountain, on which the city depends, is a famous coal production base. It used to be an important industrial base, but in the 21st century, with the end of the planned economy era, it gradually declined, but there are still a large number of factories still in operation.
After the outbreak of the Awoken crisis, the rapid intervention of the army saved the city due to the fact that the city was only a few tens of kilometers away from military base 135. Three hours after the crisis erupted, the army arrived just in time, and by noon the next day, only a few places in the city were still Awakened, and most of the "stupid" Awakened were killed.
Because it is an industrial city, at this moment of human survival, military production and food production are equally important. So the old traditional heavy industrial city was once again given unprecedented attention from the upper echelons, and a brigade of regular troops was deployed to garrison it. At the same time, in accordance with the decree on emergency mobilization, which has just been issued, more troops are being formed.
In fact, not only Huanghua City, nor only China, but also after the outbreak of the crisis of the awakened, almost all countries in the world issued emergency mobilization decrees as quickly as possible, and all the economy and production were put on the wartime track.
In today's Huanghua City, the concrete city wall surrounding the whole city is being built at an accelerated pace, barbed wire fences with high-voltage electricity have been pulled up, and excavators can be seen working frantically everywhere and various machine gun towers and pillboxes under construction. The whole city is being built into a militarized fortress.
At a checkpoint on the edge of the city, the convoy from Bai Lien Town was stopped, but the officer in the lead car exchanged views with the inspectors for a few minutes, and after showing his documents, the entire convoy was quickly released. Around the checkpoints, a large number of refugees have fled from all over the country, but they are blocked at the gate of the checkpoint and need to go through a series of measures such as registration and quarantine before they can enter the city. On Lin Feng's side, because it was a military convoy, he enjoyed the privilege of passing through the first checkpoint first, but he also had to stay at the designated place in the city for a while, and after some relevant checks, he could enter the city through the second checkpoint.
Standing on the command car, looking through the window, looking at the chaotic flow of people around him expressionlessly, Lin Feng's heart moved.
"Although it is not the planned 135 military base, it is estimated that it is a little troublesome for civilians to enter that place. But it seems to be a good place to go. The next question is......"
Unlike many people who are at a loss, as a man, Lin Feng, who is interested in history and willing to use his brain, already has some guesses in his heart about what will happen next.
"There are more and more people, and the food will definitely gradually run out...... I wonder if there will be a wartime rationing system here, if so......"
