In fact, the mood of everyone present at this time was very complicated.

On the one hand, the disaster has happened, and the death of the teachers and friends around him weighs heavily on the heart, making people almost breathless.

On the other hand, most people's families are in a remote place, communication is interrupted, and no one knows the situation on the other side, and I wonder if they will be safe?

The answer is already in their hearts, but they don't want to admit it.

Everyone understands that the dead are gone, and the living are still struggling to survive despite their grief.

But after listening to Jiang Mantian's explanation, they knew that from now on, such a humble wish as "living" did not seem to be so easy to achieve!

Magnetism, earthquakes, sandstorms, particle storms, tsunamis, biological variation, ......

Wave after wave of difficulties.

Wave after wave of danger.

Looking at the road ahead, I am confused!

What will the world look like?

How will they live in the future?

The luck of the aftermath of the disaster has been completely replaced by the worry of an unknown future.

Seeing everyone's frightened expressions, Jiang Mantian couldn't bear it very much, and said, "Let's go outside to see the situation first, and then make plans." ”

At this moment, the place where they are located is the National Big Brother Deba Gymnasium, with a total construction area of 26,900 square meters, which was the venue for the table tennis match of the 2009 Yandu Sports Games.

Because of the power outage, the gymnasium was very dim, more than 10,000 people were crowded inside, the corridors and corridors were full of people, and there was no ventilation, and the smell of sweat, smoke, dust and other odors of unknown origin in the air was mixed together, which made people smell sick.

Everyone was tired, and no one spoke, except that from time to time, from a corner, there was a suppressed sob.

"How many of us are here?" Jiang Mantian asked.

"About fifteen thousand. ”

The person who answered his question was called Long Yuandong, a senior student of the Engineering Academy of Huayi University, and also the captain of the student team of the Engineering Academy.

Together with 19 other classmates, he was ostensibly seconded to the University as a military training instructor for the freshmen, but in fact he mainly accompanied and protected Jiang Mantian, who was invited to the University for an academic visit.

After the disaster, Long Yuandong immediately made a decisive decision and acted resolutely, based on 19 classmates and 600 trainees who participated in military training, set up a temporary command center, appointed himself as the commander-in-chief, and reorganized all the survivors who fled to the Bayi Stadium.

A group of 10 people, a team of 10 people, and a group of 1,000 people for every 10 teams. In the end, a total of 14 full 1,000-person regiments and a 300-member regiment were formed, and the heads of each regiment were served by the former military training instructors, that is, 19 students from Long Yuandong, and the numbers were the first regiment and the second regiment of the country...... The 14th Regiment of the Nation.

In addition, the original 600 cadets who participated in military training, after removing the more than 100 national defense students who were transferred to the captains of the 100-man team, more than 400 remained, forming an independent regiment, which was directly led by the temporary headquarters.

The reason why they were chosen as independent regiments was because these people had just been trained in the military for a week, and they had a certain tacit understanding with each other, and they would be more disciplined and efficient in carrying out their tasks.

He Tingting has a better understanding of the situation of the university, adding: "The original 17,000 teachers and staff of the National University and 30,000 students of all levels and types are still 14,800 people left here, excluding the seriously injured. For more than one-third of the people to survive such a catastrophe, it is already a blessing in misfortune. Other universities are not necessarily so optimistic. ”

Jiang Mantian sighed secretly.

In the midst of catastrophes, human life is nothing but a string of cold numbers. Listening to these numbers, sometimes we even forget that behind those numbers, there used to be vivid faces, beating hearts, and flesh-and-blood souls.

In times of peace, an accident somewhere, and a few people die, is enough for people to talk about for years, to be hurt for years, and to lament for years. But in the world of catastrophe, it only takes a few hours for people to easily adapt and accept the mass death of human beings!

What a cruel reality this is, and what a sad human heart this is!

"How many are the seriously wounded?" Jiang Mantian asked again.

"It's about a thousand, and I haven't counted it carefully. They are all housed on the table tennis court in the center's main arena. Long Yuandong replied: "Because of the lack of medical materials, only a few of these seriously injured people have received formal anti-inflammatory treatment, and most of them are simply bandaged with strips of cloth torn from their clothes to barely stop the bleeding. I guess a lot won't survive. ”

The Goldpa Coliseum sits south and faces north, with the main entrance to the north, two back doors to the south, and a side door to the west.

The whole building is a "back" structure, the "mouth" inside is the center of the main arena, the space is open, straight to the roof, the top is a hemispherical steel frame structure, covered with blue transparent tempered glass, good lighting.

After the earthquake, the glass on the top was not completely shattered, but there were several large cracks, and dust leaked down from time to time.

In addition to the main arena of the center, the surrounding "back" type space is divided into three floors, including the south hall, the north hall, the general service desk, the commodity department, the equipment and fitness hall, the aerobics hall, the body hall, the multi-function hall, the warm-up training hall, the billiards hall, the table tennis hall, the heavy competition hall, the swimming pool, the fencing hall, the comprehensive training hall, the bouldering hall, the squash hall, the press conference hall, the VIP lounge, the computer room, etc. Most of the food and supplies rescued from the rubble were piled up in the north and south halls on the first floor.

Jiang Mantian nodded, and ordered Long Yuandong to clear out a rest room to store the body of the deceased alone. The Independent Regiment sent a team of 100 people to guard the door of the lounge and keep a tight guard.

After inspecting the entire gymnasium, Jiang Mantian and the others returned to the billiards room again.

Outside the gymnasium, the dust and sand whistled, and the sky was dark.

In the gymnasium, the figures are longing, depressed and stuffy.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

Long Yuandong brought a few people and brought back some food, including bottled water, biscuits, instant noodles, dry bread, braised chicken wings, etc., all kinds of things.

Everyone got a small amount of food and water, and Long Yuandong smiled bitterly: "There are not many things, everyone saves some and don't waste them." ”

Jiang Mantian waited until everyone had finished eating and recovered some of their spirits, then he also drank some water to moisten his throat, and then walked to the map of Huaxia on the table and said:

"I've told you before that cosmic rays mutate living things. In fact, cosmic rays will not only mutate living creatures, but also cause dead creatures to mutate and turn into zombies! And this kind of zombie is extremely offensive and destructive to human beings!"

Everyone let out an "ah" and looked at each other.

In the billiard room, more than a dozen leaders of the command headquarters, as well as more than a hundred people present from the independent regiment, were silent for a while.

If it is really as Jiang Mantian said, then today, it is indeed the end of the world, and there is absolutely no exaggeration, not the slightest alarmism!
