Chapter 102: The City
The blue sky, the sunset, and the sunset are intertwined into a beautiful picture that makes people fascinated, but Ling Tao on the gunship helicopter does not have the slightest heart to enjoy such a beautiful scenery.
Above the earth, the outline of a city gradually appeared in his sight.
This is the first big city that Ling Tao came into contact with after the great changes in the world, a city with a large population in the 'legend', inhabited by people from all over the world.
Facing the city, Ling Tao's mood is complicated, he may not feel anything in the past, but he knows that the city today is definitely different from the city he was familiar with before, what is the difference, he only has a vague concept in his heart, when he understands that he will integrate into the city soon, his mood is a little complicated.
S City may not be well-known in the country and even the world, but in H Province, it is one of the most dazzling cities outside the provincial capital, especially in the highly developed environment, it is developing rapidly, of course, that was before.
The helicopter gunship soon approached the city, and on the plane, the first thing Ling Tao saw was not the high-rise buildings in the city or the crowds of people coming and going, but the helicopters speeding over and around the city, and there were no less than 100 of them.
Such a picture would not have been possible before, Ling Tao guessed, and these helicopters appeared in and out of the city, perhaps patrolling, perhaps transporting various bigwigs or something.
Just when Ling Tao was puzzled, the pilot in the cab, who had not spoken, said: "LJ-343 helicopter gunship is on a mission and asks to enter the city, and my number is LJ-32-3-1"!
Ling Tao couldn't understand what the pilot said, but after he spoke, several helicopters that were originally coming in this direction over S City turned around and left, allowing them to enter the city along the way.
Although he didn't understand what the other party meant, maybe he was reporting something to some place, but Ling Tao probably guessed something from what the other party said, LJ probably means sharp sword, ―343 is probably the number of the helicopter, and as for the latter ones, it is probably the meaning of No. 1 of the 32nd Brigade of the Sword 32.
Uncle Xiao gave Ling Tao a rough idea of the sword, one hundred people for a team, ten people for a small team, about five thousand sword members in the country, roughly divided into fifty brigades, except for a brigade stationed in each provincial capital, the others are probably stationed in some key places, of course, those are not Ling Tao can contact, just rely on his own knowledge of the guess or two, in the final analysis, it is also half-understood.
These things only flashed in Ling Tao's mind, and as the helicopter approached the city, his eyes were attracted by the picture below, and he was deeply shocked.
The city in front of him was completely different from the city he had known before, around the city, there were almost no trees, you could see a lot of stumps that had been cut down and traces of burning, and there were not too many tall trees within a kilometer around the city, and secondly, in this range, cars were crisscrossing and patrolling with armed men armed with guns, almost the entire city was guarded in the rear.
The helicopter is only about 100 meters in the air, and the picture below is extremely real.
If these were just Ling Tao's great surprises, then the real situation around the city shocked him, in the outermost periphery, there was a wall, it could be seen that it was a wall built of the board house materials, about ten meters high, such a wall, extending to the end of the line of sight, surrounded the entire city.
This is nothing, what is special is that inside the walls made of these panels, countless machinery roars, excavators are running at full power one after another, countless trucks come and go, truckloads of masonry, cement and steel bars, and under the dense operation of people, a real city wall is rising from the ground.
Because he was in the sky, Ling Tao could see more clearly, the city wall in some places is still the foundation, but the foundation is at least ten meters deep into the ground, and some are the part of the city wall that has been built, as high as 30 meters, nearly 10 meters wide, it can be said that it is taller and stronger than the city wall in any history, and the city wall made of concrete and steel is not comparable to the ancient city wall.
It was hard for Ling Tao to imagine that he had not been in contact with the city for only a few days, and such a drastic change had occurred, this was not the city in his cognition at all, and it completely subverted the deep-rooted cognition in his heart.
"I know a little bit about your situation, the world has been in the wild when it has changed, and it is normal to have not seen such a picture, the trees and vegetation on the periphery have been cut down in order to be able to better see the dangerous animals and eliminate them, as for the wall built by the plates, it is only temporary, and it is still the city wall that is being built to ensure everyone's safety, which is also a matter of no way, and now the situation is different from before, and the country has only thought of such a way for a while, and the population concentration can ensure everyone's safety, All densely populated cities in the country, even if it is a county seat, for the time being, will be such a model, of course, the scale is certainly different, now the whole country implements military management, any manpower and material resources unconditionally listen to the country's deployment, unite as a city to have the picture you see, otherwise just by individuals, don't even think about making such a move."
Just as Ling Tao was shocked by the situation below, the helicopter pilot, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly spoke up and said these inconsequential things.
"Yes, only the country's requisition can burst out with such a powerful force, as I saw just now, there are at least a thousand excavators and trucks of all kinds, and this is just a direction", Ling Tao subconsciously replied.
"The power of the state, when it really operates a thing at full strength, how can ordinary people understand", the driver in front nodded in agreement, and then said silently.
In the past, Ling Tao heard that the operation of national forces, mobilizing countless mechanical manpower, and completely bulldozing a hill overnight, used to think it was just a joke, but now it seems that it is pediatrics at all.
The helicopter entered the sky above the city, and Ling Tao saw that there were people coming and going, there were teams of armed men patrolling the streets, and more were densely packed tents in the open space, and there were more prefabricated houses that were being built quickly.
"Is this S City"? Looking at the city below, Ling Tao muttered to himself.
Ling Tao's father doesn't know where he is now, and Ling Tao doesn't know when he will be able to find his father, and he doesn't know how long he will stay in this city.
The helicopter would not stop because of Ling Tao's sight, and after entering the sky above the city, it kept moving forward, but the height was increased a little, crossing most of the city, and finally came to an orderly military station.
When he came to the sky above this military station, Ling Tao saw countless military cards coming in and out, all of them carrying heavily armed soldiers, and inside the station, there were also soldiers lined up one after another.
Such a picture gives Ling Tao a feeling of blood and heaviness in his heart, the army, no matter in any period, represents the weapon of the country, it is precisely because of their existence that the family and country can be stabilized, the order can be stabilized, and the people's hearts can be awe.
The helicopter landed on a lawn, the hatch opened, and the pilot said: "You guys go down, wait for someone to arrange for you, my mission has been completed, go first".
Ling Tao and Yu Miaomiao got off the plane a little dazed, and after walking to the lawn, the helicopter lifted off into the air, and then left, leaving them here.
Just when they were at a loss, the door of a camouflage off-road vehicle on the edge of the lawn opened, and two people walked down, wearing military uniforms, a man and a woman, and walked straight to Ling Tao and the two.
"The two must be Ling Tao and Yu Miaomiao, right? You can call me Commander Bai, and then, I will settle you", the two men in military uniforms came in front of Ling Tao, and after a military salute, one of the men spoke.
"Hello Captain Bai, I'm going to trouble you next", Ling Tao looked at the other party and nodded.
The other party represents the power of the country, and a stop there gives people a kind of momentum oppression, although he has seen a lot during this time, Ling Tao still has some awe in his heart.
"Well, please come with me, I'll arrange your accommodation first", the other party nodded and said, then turned around and walked to the SUV.
Captain Bai looked like he was on business, which made Ling Tao have a lot of words in his heart that he didn't say, so he could only follow behind the other party.
Get in the car, start, shuttle through the station, and finally come to a small blue building, Captain Bai got out of the car and took Ling Tao and Yu Miaomiao to a suite on the first floor.
"You guys take a rest here first, and then someone will bring you food, and someone will clean up after eating, rest for one night, and I'll take you to meet the leader tomorrow, remember, don't run around, no one else knows you, that's it, I still have a task, see you tomorrow", Captain Bai said businessfully after taking Ling Tao and the two to the room, and turned around and left after speaking.
Ling Tao was a little dazed, he had never dealt with soldiers with real power, and he was a little uncomfortable with this kind of straightforward communication, and he could only follow the other party's orders.
"Let's take a rest first, we shouldn't have to worry about safety here, and we'll see how the other party arranges for us to ...... tomorrow", after Captain Bai left, Ling Tao looked at Yu Miaomiao and said.
