vs 250 Sitting in the city of sorrow
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
It was a dying man.
To be exact, he was almost a skeleton still breathing.
He Daji carefully dragged him from the beach to the shade of the tree, his eyes flashing with a glimmer of hope, but like a candle without wax, every second seemed to be extinguished.
He Daji asked Sun Jing to hurry up and find something to eat, neither of them needed to feed on normal food, and there was nothing at hand to give him anything to eat at the moment.
"Save ...... Help me. He said in a weak voice.
He Daji didn't know what to say or what to do, so he could only slowly feed him some water with a small spoon.
"Where are you from?" He asked the man in a low voice.
He didn't really care what he would answer, he just thought that if he didn't let the man say something, he might just die.
"Little ...... Xiaoqu Mountain. The man said with difficulty.
He Daji didn't know what it was, but many places in the Zhoushan Islands were named after "mountains", and he guessed that it should be some island in the north.
"How's it going over there?" He continued.
The man's lips moved, but he didn't speak, He Daji saw his tears flowing out, and after a while he heard him muttering, "It's all dead, it's too miserable." ”
The man was too weak to speak, and He Daji looked back at the raft made of many empty plastic bottles on the beach, to which he had tied himself and been brought here by the waves. It's hard to guess how long it took him to get here, but He Daji knew. If it weren't for the fact that the island called Xiaoqu Mountain was completely hopeless, he would not have used this method to find a way to survive where there was almost no zài.
Sun Jing hurriedly ran over with a pot. Unable to find anything to eat on the island for a while, she went to the sea and caught a fish, which, according to the descriptions of the previous people, should be virus-free of the fish in the nearby waters.
Smelling the fragrance of fish soup, the man suddenly had a spirit, he was eager to get up, but he couldn't do it on his own, He Daji hurriedly helped him up.
He threw himself in front of the pot with the last of his strength. Suddenly losing all his strength and falling headlong on the sand, He Daji reached out to help him, and now he was dead.
Sun Jing burst into tears.
It's one thing to kill someone, but she still feels uncomfortable seeing such a sight.
He Daji didn't feel good either, he held her in his arms and suddenly realized. How lucky I am.
Far from being threatened with starvation, he didn't even really experience death.
And this qiē comes from the power that Wang Zhi gave him.
The stories that Lin Chuan had told him during the trip in order to beat the time, he had always felt very far away from him, and finally at this time, it was really in front of him for the first time.
Wouldn't it be too selfish to have such power and live like this on this island without caring for anything?
"Do you know Xiaoqushan?" He asked Sun Jing.
She shook her head.
"He said he was from Xiaoqu Mountain. I wanted to go there and check it out. ”
There are still some fishing boats that look intact on the island, but neither Sun Jing nor He Daji has the ability to drive fishing boats, and the two of them can't figure out those powered diesel engines or anything, and finally they simply find a boat used as a lifeboat, and He Daji tried. Now it was much easier for him to paddle entirely with a wooden oar than to study the machinery.
Sun Jing found an old nautical chart of the Zhoushan Islands from a passenger ship. Only then did they know that Xiaoqushan was a small island in the northwest of Qushan Island, and according to the scale, it was more than 30 kilometers away from Yushan Island, where they were located.
To the east, on Daisan Island, monsters were still wreaking havoc, and the two of them could clearly see a large swarm of bats hovering in mid-air on the island, like a dark cloud.
So they paddled straight to the northeast.
The weather was surprisingly good, but the natural waves on such calm seas still made them feel like they were on a roller coaster.
Shortly after they left Yushan Island, the monsters on Daishan Island suddenly began to make a noisy noise, and as they had seen near the Left Sea, they began to try to cross the sea and move towards Qushan Island further north. Artillery began to roar on Qushan Island, but to Ho Daji, it sounded more like the wailing of a dying person.
They had to shift their course to the north and carefully avoid the hordes of monsters advancing from Daisan Island to Qushan Island, but it didn't take long for monsters killed by artillery fire and drowned in the deep sea to begin to be seen on the sea. Mutated whales the size of an island began to roam not far away, creating waves large enough to drown the boat, but luckily the drowned monsters caught their attention and did not come to attack their humble boat.
Their huge figures made He Daji and Sun Jing feel extremely frightened, compared to them, the special mutant who was in Zuohai Control Monster Tide was simply an inconspicuous dwarf, and they had to adjust their course to the north again, preparing to make a detour from Shenjiashan Island on the map to Xiaoqu Mountain.
After this toss, the sky began to darken, and the waves became bigger.
The artillery fire on Qushan Island became sparse, and it seemed that there was not much ammunition left, and Sun Jing only recalled at this time that before He Daji was resurrected, when the monster tide attacked Daishan Island, the cannons on Qushan Island had roared for a long time.
He Daji began to be a little impatient, and after dark, the visibility decreased, but the monsters' activities became more active, which was definitely not a good thing for them.
Judging from the sea chart, Xiaoqushan is not far from Qushan Island, what is the point of going there at this time?
He began to regret it a little.
"Look over there!" Sun Jing suddenly said in surprise.
Countless lights suddenly lit up on the island in the distance to the north, and on such a clear night, it looked like the legendary overseas fairy mountain.
"What's that?" He Daji immediately began to search on the chart, but what was marked there was only a small island called Dayang Mountain.
"Shall we go?" Sun Jing had been frightened at sea all day, and she was already exhausted by this time. If He Daji hadn't given her a blood drink halfway, she might have already overdrawn.
But Ho Daji's ability is far from being at its best. Now, the energy in his body is only at the level of the peak of level 3, which makes her more and more uneasy.
Even if He Daji is reluctant to eat people, as long as there is enough food, his physique, which is different from other bloodline people, can also be restored to the level 1 level, which can make her feel at ease.
This is one of the reasons why she agreed to leave that hopeless island.
"Okay!" He Daji nodded and said.
The two began to row desperately towards the island. Fortunately, the tide began to rise, and the waves pushed their boat towards the shore, and when it was completely dark, they finally came to shore.
The place where they landed was a steep mountain wall in the south of the island, which was bare and full of exposed dirt.
Behind the ridge, a light faintly shines through. The two looked at each other, and with a quick walk over the ridge, a light suddenly appeared in front of them.
It's okay for Sun Jing, when she was in the northwest, the city where people live would also have such lights at night, but for He Daji. This is the first time in the long days since the end of the world that I feel that civilization still exists.
Hope still exists zài.
For no apparent reason, tears suddenly flowed out.
******
Before the apocalypse, He Daji and Sun Jing were otaku and a girl who only liked to dress up. They are not interested in the news, which makes them have no idea about this small island in the East China Sea.
That old chart also misled them.
In fact. The lights in front of them, which are not prosperous, represent the largest container port in China before the end of the day, Yangshan Port.
Before the end of the day, the port had an annual throughput of 150,000 TEUs, more than 5o deep-water berths, and was connected to the river and sea by the Guò East China Sea Bridge, making it one of the busiest logistics centers in the Yangtze River Delta region, artificially landfilled by several adjacent natural islands. The island has 300,000 people stranded for many years, and not only has independent water and power supply facilities, but also a large number of natural gas and oil storage equipment for unloading oil from ocean-going oil tankers.
This was also the evacuation target of the 55th and 19th Divisions, which were the first to evacuate when Jianghai fell, and later, two armed police detachments led by Fang Jianguo and Chen Rongyuan and thousands of young and healthy women also withdrew here.
However, Yangshan Port is not the most suitable place for human habitation in the Zhoushan Islands, most of the concrete platforms made by reclamation projects have lost their function as a port, and they are just a huge open-air warehouse.
The best land in the Zhoushan Islands is Zhoushan Island, Daishan Island, followed by Liuheng Island, Jianshan Island, Jintan Island, Qushan Island, and Chengsi Island, which not only have rich fishery resources, but also have enough land, and many islands even have small freshwater lakes.
The number of refugees who fled to the Zhoushan Islands, together with the original inhabitants of the islands, exceeded 3oo at one time, and at the peak, 18o people gathered in Yangshan Port alone. In order to relieve the pressure, people had to be diverted to various islands, and even hundreds or even thousands of people were housed on many of the previously uninhabited islands. The army regularly travelled between the islands in fishing boats and small cargo ships to transport supplies needed by the people.
At the beginning of the fall of Jianghai, the Zhoushan Islands and Chongzhou Island were positioned as important counteroffensive bases in eastern China, where the government planned to impose military control, use the island's abundant material and human resources to build military factories, and recruit enough soldiers from refugees for training.
Some of the ships of the East China Sea and North Sea Fleets that escaped from the apocalypse and the ships of the East China Sea Fleet, which were originally stationed at the Dinghai base, also received orders to form a temporary fleet with those civilian, fishery and maritime affairs who had fled here, and they were placed under the command of Yangshan Port. The most striking in the fleet are four nuclear submarines of the latest model, which are loaded with nuclear bombs capable of even directly attacking the distant United States.
Not only that, but the Air Force and Naval Aviation also had a small number of fighters and bombers stranded here, but this also created a mixed and complex factional relationship between the military forces of the Zhoushan Islands.
Fang Jianguo, who once served as deputy commander-in-chief of the Jianghai Emergency Command Headquarters, carefully preserved his strength, and he formed a close alliance with Chen Rongyuan, the former director of the Jianghai National Security Bureau, which was part of the national security system. He also actively co-opted the weak navy and air force personnel, and even did not hesitate to use the young female resources in his hands to win over the grassroots officers. After a series of bribes, negotiations, threats, blackmail, and dealings, he finally got his wish and was appointed by the Military Commission to continue to serve as the supreme military commander of the Zhoushan Islands.
But as the situation quickly spiraled out of control, the influence of the central government was extremely reduced, and after a certain day, there were no more orders or instructions from Jining. People are beginning to realize that the counteroffensive inside 6 has become a luxury that will simply not be realized in a few years. Signs of uneasiness in the various units began to manifest themselves, and soon. The once disciplined army was weakened by extreme pessimism, and the top commanders were transformed into warlords large and small.
Limited supplies have become the target of contention. Chen Rongyuan died unexpectedly in an armed conflict, and the deficiencies of the hard power in Fang Jianguo's hands were exposed, and he could no longer continue to suppress the military leaders of the various islands, so he could only stubbornly hold on to the supplies of Yangshan Port and win over the navy with preferential treatment. Stuck on an island.
The navy's heavy artillery and missiles can attack any island in Zhoushan, but on the islands around Yangshan Port, the range of large-caliber artillery can also cover the entire port area.
What no one expected is. Frequent ship traffic between islands attracted huge marine mammals, and this caused terrible disasters.
Dozens of freighters were swallowed up and hundreds of people died. The Provisional Fleet took the initiative to meet the attack with great vigour, but the result was that two main destroyers, five frigates, two fishery administration boats, and dozens of torpedo boats were sunk in the battle, and hundreds of naval officers and men were killed. And the price paid by the mutant whale group is nothing more than the extinction of a race.
It didn't take long. More mutant whales were attracted here by the putrid smell of the carcasses.
Attempts were made to destroy them by means of long-range attacks, and a large number of missiles, torpedoes and artillery shells were wasted. Dead cetaceans attract more and larger whale populations, with more than 200 mutant whales being observed in the seaways between the islands, and hungry whales even trying to attack buildings and harbors on the shore.
Transport between the islands was completely disrupted, and only a small amount of supplies could be transported by a few unmaintained helicopters. Seafood became a terrible source of disease, and thousands of hungry people ate it and mutated, leading to the fall of two small islands. The densely populated islands such as Zhoushan and Daishan are waiting for the day when the crops are harvested with the support of the original storage, while those scattered islands have become a hell on earth.
Countless people died.
"Today's death toll is 289." Chief of Staff Zhang Siping gently placed a list on the table. "The total number of people in Yangshan Port is 394,715."
Fang Jianguo nodded, but he didn't mean to pick it up at all, but directly put it into the thick stack of death lists next to his desk.
"Daishan Island has definitely fallen, and they are heading towards Qushan Island." Zhang Siping continued to report. Zhang Chunhe shouted that if you didn't send a helicopter to rescue him, he would let the artillery fire in this direction. This is the third time he has given an ultimatum, and he swears that this time it is true, and I think his love is very unstable. ”
"There is only one last flying helicopter left, how can it be used at such a time?" Fang Jianguo said in a low voice, and then raised his voice: "Sue him that there are too many mutated bats, and the helicopter can't arrive safely, let him come by speedboat like Lao Fan, and I will ensure his safety." Sue him, those mutant whales are eating carcasses in the south and won't notice him. ”
"What if he insists?"
"Leave him alone!" Fang Jianguo said simply.
But after a few seconds he asked: "How many shells do we have?" ”
"There are not many, only Type 59 and Type 83 can hit the south bank of Qushan, but there are less than 5 bases left for Type 83 shells, and even fewer than 2 bases for Type 59."
"Let Zhang Chunhe report the coordinates over, and order the 83 artillery crew to prepare and fire according to the coordinates he came over." Fang Jianguo gritted his teeth and said. "Let them take it easy, don't play too fast, by 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, they can only knock out two bases at most."
"I've done my best." He leaned heavily on the back of his leather chair. "Whether they live or die depends on their luck."
"Vice President Fang......" Zhang Siping is Fang Jianguo's old subordinate, and his title has never been changed.
"Don't say it, we also have to think about ourselves, after Qushan, maybe it will be Yangshan." Fang Jianguo shook his head. "Who knows, maybe tonight will be the last restful sleep we'll ever have."
