39 (3rd Shift)
{This disaster has happened for so long, and Chu Ting has cut off contact with the capital for so long.} The capital didn't send paratroopers to investigate the situation like in 08, was it too busy to take care of itself or did it send but didn't contact Chu Ting?}
Lu Ping sat in the radio room and thought nonsense.
Although he is the biggest leader of Chu Ting, in the past, he still had superiors above him, and if such a big thing really happened, it was usually sent by the capital to give instructions and dispatch.
A person with strong ability doesn't expect someone to be able to share with him, not to mention that he has been used to it for so many years, not to mention that he is only in a region.
With the advent of the end times, modern civilization has regressed and disappeared overnight, and many departments that originally existed in the army have lost their role and need to be abolished, but the press department in the army's art troupe still needs to exist.
It's just that at this time, they no longer need the ability to write and photograph, as they did in the past, but to draw and write.
During the war years, there were war correspondents who recorded people's lives, why? Of course, it was with the belief that all this would eventually pass, that all this would become history that needs to be remembered by future generations, and that all this would eventually be recorded when it was defeated.
The art troupe needs to exist, and because it is so difficult, it is necessary to bring spiritual enjoyment, so that everyone can cheer up and continue to work hard and live.
The soldiers, who had volunteered to be art students after learning painting, began to stand on various heights and began to sketch and record this scene.
After a while, the various groups of people who were still in the city stood up and kept quiet. On their hands, there were also tin foil, money, white paper, ribbons, and even wreaths that they had found somewhere.
The ceremony was divided into three parts, the first part was a moment of silence, the second part was the raising of the national flag, and the third part was Lao Lu's concluding speech.
Since the tools used to calculate time cannot be accurate to the pre-apocalyptic unit minutes, everyone is standing in place, ready to wait for the air defense siren to sound.
The air defense siren first appeared as a musical instrument in the eighteenth century, and the principle is not very complicated, and the veterans who often play with sirens, although in such conditions as now, still tinkered with a number of sirens.
At about half past six, the alarm sounded punctually.
The alarm sounded only once, and the time was only about 5 seconds. This is because we are in the last days.
If the alarm goes off for too long, but something really happens outside, because the sound of the alarm is not small, if something really happens, the alarm needs to be sounded, which will cause a lot of information misunderstanding.
Although the alarm sounded for such a short time, everyone's hearts fluttered.
When the soldiers stationed there heard this voice, their hearts shrank for a moment. They know that this alarm is sounded for the sake of their lost relatives and compatriots.
"Stand up, take off your hat, bow your head, lower the flag at half-mast, and pay silent tribute" The brigade commander of each sub-division personally issued an order after the siren sounded.
Everyone followed the orders of their respective commanders, neatly took off their hats, bowed their heads, lowered the military flag in their hands 45 degrees, lowered their heads, and finally closed their eyes.
Except for the soldiers stationed at the three walls, everyone closed their eyes and mourned in silence.
Many people say that the Chinese have no faith, but in fact the Chinese do.
From ancient times to the present, the Chinese believe in a lot of things, and there are all kinds of gods, just looking at this side, the Chinese belief is utilitarian, because the Chinese seem to only believe in the gods that are good for themselves, such as the God of Wealth, such as the God of the Sea, such as the God of Rain, such as the God of Ceres.
The Chinese worship God, but each god does not necessarily have a doctrine, so this kind of belief in God is better to believe in one's own heart.
But there is one belief that the Chinese have not changed since ancient times, and that is the belief in their ancestors.
Every Qingming Festival, if it is before the end of the world, there will be a rush to return to the hometown, and every road back to the hometown will inevitably be full of traffic. Traffic jams are very hard work, both for drivers and for people sitting in the car.
But every year, there are still many people who go home during Qingming, and the phenomenon of traffic jams still exists.
Even in ancient times before the end of the world, there were many ancestors who would rush back to their hometowns to worship their ancestors around the Qingming Festival. Due to the lack of transportation in ancient times, many of them returned home days or even months in advance.
From here, it can be seen that what Huaguo truly believes in is people. It is a person who has made great contributions to the whole of China during his lifetime.
Even, respect for life.
Xiang Yu also closed his eyes in silence, and suddenly he heard someone next to him crying silently. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was a warrior named Wang Xiaohu. He silently patted him on the shoulder, and Wang Xiaohu wiped away his tears when he saw this, revealing a smile.
Xiang Yu also gave him a smile back and closed his eyes again.
Wang Xiaohu is not a player, but an nPC in the game.
The interaction between these nPcs and players is so good that many players directly complain to the official, saying that they should not treat AI like this.
Wang Hui asked his subordinates to release the truth that these nPcs are not artificial intelligence, after all, the topic of artificial intelligence is too troublesome.
But after the announcement, the only change was that there was a lack of complaints and disputes, and players still have feelings for these NPCs.
This is understandable, because even in the earliest days of computer games, players could cry because of the storyline of one virtual character, let alone the holographic game era.
{This kind of emotion is probably the 08 disaster, the feelings of the compatriots on the scene.} Xiang Yu said silently. He was thinking about the nPC girl Yun Xiaoduo he met in the game.
Although Liu Yue died in the game, she was alive in reality after all, but Yun Xiaoduo, if she died, she was really dead.
When he was 98 years old, Xiang Yu was still young and ignorant, but he only remembered that such a thing happened, and later he knew about it in a textbook.
In 08, although Xiang Yu was not at the scene, he was in a little bit of a situation at that time, and he just didn't study. However, I personally experienced 3 days, all TVs only broadcast news about the Wenchuan scene, and all online games were suspended.
He still remembers that during that time, his mood was very dull every day, but he also had a feeling of being with his Wenchuan compatriots. When he mourned for Wenchuan, he also consciously stood up from the stool and bowed his head in silence.
That year, he understood that we were united. That year, he participated in an event in which he made friends with others, and said that the reason for making friends was actually very simple - we are all Chinese!
This is a reason that sounds ridiculous now, because it's almost like nonsense.
But when I said it at that time, I could still make many people understand the reason why they could even be moved to tears.
Well, modified. The title of this chapter is: Silence.
