Chapter 59: Emergency Call
When encountering such a thing, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
For the sake of the continuation of the race, a small number of people must be sacrificed.
Except for those who were sacrificed, everyone would agree, right?
Those cold numbers, only when they fall on themselves, are they painful and fearful.
But there was nothing to be done.
Sacrifice and obedience are the greatest political correctness in a world that is constantly under attack by demons.
Everything serves the overall situation of humanity against demons.
Luo Nan grabbed Qin Minzhao's hand tightly.
Although the girl spoke firmly and with great momentum, her hands were cold and trembling because of nervousness.
She looked around uneasily.
Most of the people in the vicinity who had been improvised were most of those who had just escaped from the tram, and dozens of other passers-by who had run out of roadside homes and shops.
In total, there are almost seventy or eighty people.
In the rest of the street, the fleeing crowd was also stopped and collected by the soldiers, and it seemed that they were also going to be used as cannon fodder and sent to the front line.
A quick glance reveals that it is estimated that at least two or three hundred unlucky ghosts on this street who did not get out in time have been temporarily recruited.
Luo Nan glanced at it and roughly counted the number of people, but saw a middle-aged man who took advantage of the soldier's inattention, turned around and ran.
"Da Da Da!"
Luo Nan couldn't help but shudder.
The tongue of fire spewed out, and in one burst, several blood flowers rose from the middle-aged man's back, his body shook, and his frightened expression froze on his face, falling down like wood.
It wasn't the soldier in front of them who shot Ronan, but another soldier who had come over with a group of people from the side to join him.
Kinetic firearms are almost ineffective in killing demons, but soldiers still equip kinetic firearms, and Luo Nan didn't understand it before, but now he understands, and that's why.
"Luo Xin, we have to hurry over, we can't hold it over there!" The soldier who had just shot and killed was holding a gun and shouting anxiously.
"Wait!" At this time, another petite non-commissioned officer with a higher rank also joined in with dozens of grinding civilians.
She glanced through the goggles of the semi-enclosed tactical helmet at the crowd that had gathered almost two hundred, and a neutral voice came from the portable loudspeaker: "All women who have given birth to more than three children and have completed the fertility index, wear the sign and go out of the ranks!" ”
After a burst of sound of shoe soles grinding and skirts rustling, more than twenty older women walked out, all looking relieved.
"Have you already completed the fertility quota? In the past, over there, someone will take you away. "This master chief knows that there will definitely be people who fish in troubled waters, and there will be people who have not yet completed the birth quota but have to pass the test in a fool's way.
After all, signs can be faked – and while it's a felony, it's a felony.
But time is urgent, and it is too late to carefully screen it.
Luo Nan was dumbfounded.
He knew that this republic attached great importance to the population and the fertility rate, so it introduced many laws to stimulate fertility.
For example, as he learned before, the taxes of the Republic of Trustees are particularly heavy, and the threshold is very low.
It is common for ordinary wage earners to pay more than 50% of their taxes, and those rich and celebrities often use 70% or 80% of their income to pay taxes.
Without such high taxes, it is impossible to maintain a large social welfare system, a childcare system, and a compensation system for repairing the casualties caused by the demon invasion and rebuilding infrastructure.
However, women who have given birth to one, two, and third children have corresponding tax rebate policies.
Women who give birth to three children can almost achieve tax exemption.
In addition, women who have completed the fertility index must be given priority in promotion in the workplace.
Those regulations and policies were too much in Luo Nan's opinion, but I didn't expect that there would be even more excessive waiting here.
Everyone else has to be cannon fodder, but women who have given birth to three children can avoid death.
After a pause, the Master Chief continued: "All the immediate family members of the Demon Master, wear the emblem and go out of the ranks!" ”
The immediate family members of the demon masters are also exempt from conscription, and there are also many policies such as tax exemptions, tax refunds, exemption from punishment for misdemeanors, and priority promotion.
After all, the sacrifice of the demon masters is too great, and their immediate family members should enjoy some privileges.
As soon as the non-commissioned officer finished speaking, a few more people came out of the ranks.
At this time, her gaze swept over the crowd, and she suddenly pointed at Qin Minzhao, "You, out of the ranks!" ”
Luo Nan immediately let go of Qin Minzhao's hand, but she grabbed Luo Nan's hand with her backhand and didn't let go, "Sir, what's wrong?" ”
"I just saw you hide the sign, don't waste time, get out!"
"I just put away one of my ordinary trinkets! You read it wrong! Qin Minzhao said not very vigorously.
Luo Nan suddenly realized, he remembered that Qin Minzhao had been wearing a sign before, which said "Glory to the family of the Demon Master".
Qin Minzhao's younger sister is a demon master who has just graduated from the Demon Master Academy and is assigned to the grassroots defense area.
"Do you want to die? Don't make a fuss! I really don't have time to talk to you, get out of here! Live well! Master Chief shouted.
Qin Minzhao did not admit defeat, "Sister, don't make trouble, since the situation is urgent, let's hurry over!" ”
The master chief stomped his foot, he really couldn't, now he really had to race against time, and he didn't have time to dwell on this.
She glared at Qin Minzhao fiercely through the goggles, thinking, if you want to find death, there is no way.
At this time, a man in his thirties ran out of the crowd in a panic and shouted, "She doesn't want to go, can she change me?" I also have two children at home, a boy and a girl, who were entrusted to me by the Ministry of Social Security after my girlfriend's death, and I beg you, my children can't lose their dad anymore! ”
"Go back!" The Master Chief and the soldiers simply pointed their guns at him and gave an answer.
The man fell to his knees crying, but neither returned to the crowd nor dared to run away.
The women who had completed the fertility quota before, as well as the family members of the demon masters, a total of twenty or thirty people, ran away in a panic under the leadership of a soldier.
People looked at them with envy, but no one was convinced.
Not far away, another group of people, almost more than a hundred people, are also being screened, so that the woman who has completed the fertility quota and the family of the demon master will leave alone.
Facing the rest of the people, the master chief began to shout the password: "Everyone listen to the password, line up in four lines, and move quickly!" Attention! Align with the right! Look forward! ”
The crowd parted in a haphazard manner, but it wasn't too chaotic, after all, in this precarious world, military training is a weekly compulsory course in every school.
Normally educated people have rich experience in military training, which is almost engraved in their bones.
Soon everyone quickly lined up in a line according to an almost instinctive consciousness.
Luo Nan has also received military training on Earth, and he can barely keep up, and he doesn't understand where he draws a scoop with a gourd.
"Tell me!" Master Chief shouted.
