【Rust Wall M6 Area Wall Periphery】

As time passed, the confrontation between the mercenaries and the beasts had entered a fierce positional tug-of-war.

Even if there is a fire suppression from the commanding heights, even if the transportation hubs in multiple directions are controlled by the Titan Mecha and high-level transcendentals, the battle line is still too long.

There are six or seven million refugees gathered in the eastern border areas.

The only mercenaries who participated in the battle were 20,000 or 30,000 people from Edge, Mo Xue, and the rest of the mercenary groups combined.

On average, a mercenary is responsible for protecting between two hundred and three hundred people.

And that's not even counting emergencies, such as refugees being besieged in other urban areas and needing to be rescued.

The shortage of personnel led to the overall looseness of the defensive line, and in the face of the onslaught of fierce beasts, many defensive lines could not even maintain fire suppression, and fell into hand-to-hand combat close to face.

The front line was constantly broken through and pushed back, and it was constantly pushed back by the reserves that rushed to reinforce it, and it was like a flesh mill, and the positions were full of piles of corpses.

The holographic warning was gone, the fort was gone, the gates were opened, and everyone took it for granted that the city council had given the order to take them into the city.

As time passed slowly and anxiously, without warning, the holographic warning of the fire identification zone in the M6 area of the rusty wall disappeared, the fixed batteries on the wall were also retracted, and the closed gate alloy baffle opened, revealing the passage.

While the mercenaries were fighting bloodily, the border refugees could only wait anxiously in the rear, at most to help take care of the wounded who had been transported down, and nothing else could be done.

"Great! We are saved! The City Council did not abandon us! ”

The refugees closest to the Rusty Wall were stunned for a few seconds, and then the rousing voices rang out everywhere, piercing through the sky:

People were praying at this time, praying that the passage of life to the inner city would be opened as soon as possible.

After he picked it up, he listened to the report with a respectful expression, then turned to a deep consternation, and finally, the consternation was accompanied by a lingering trepidation.

Although few of the soldiers of the Rusty Wall Defense Force have a good impression of the border people, there are even some people with bad tastes, who usually deliberately trick the border people into the fire identification area to booby trap them for fun.

Refugees from other areas heard that only the M6 area was open, thinking that it was the entrance designated by the city council, and they rushed to the M6 area one by one.

The commander's eyes were a little out of focus, and he muttered: "The command center said that the terminal control room was hacked, and the system in the M6 area was artificially shut down, and it took 12 hours to restart." ”

At this moment, the commander's communicator rang, and it was from the Rusty Wall Defense Command Center.

But using a fully automatic turret to kill people and killing people with your own hands are two different concepts.

At this time, the commander of the rusty wall defense unit in the M6 sector stood on a high place, already frightened by the rolling crowd in front of him, and yelled at the adjutant: "What's the matter? Who turned the system down?! ”

The commander's face turned gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "No, the city council has just announced that the M6 area of the Rusty Wall has entered a wartime state, and requires us to bring weapons to establish an artificial defensive line. All the frontier people who tried to storm the inner city were shot. ”

The adjutant was completely at a loss for what to do, and stammered: "No, I don't know, it's definitely not our people, we don't have this authority!" ”

"Tell the people in other places, the door of M6 is open, everyone is coming into the city!"

The adjutant was at a loss and asked, "Then, the refugees are all pouring in now, what should we do?" Bring them in first? ”

"What?!" The adjutant was suddenly frightened and his hands and feet were cold.

The pressure that had accumulated since the beginning of the disaster was suddenly released, and the refugees outside the M6 area were like the waves that burst the embankment, rolling towards the rusty wall in a clamour.

"The door is open! The door of the rusty wall opened!! ”

After the communication was hung up, the adjutant tentatively said, "Sir, what do you say?" ”

Killing a few people to play and slaughtering the crowd are two different concepts.

The adjutant asked in a trembling voice, "If we do this, we will be court-martialed."

The commander's face was gloomy as if he was about to drip water: "No, on the contrary, it is now a wartime situation, these border refugees are judged to be hostile targets, and we shoot them to carry out wartime orders, and there is no problem with the procedure." ”

"Conversely, if we refuse to carry out the City Council's orders, then we will have to go to court-martial."

The adjutant was a little unbearable after hearing this: "But this is too cruel!" ”

The commander pushed him and asked in a cold voice: "Then you choose for yourself, do you want to be cruel to these border people, or to be cruel to your son?" Well? ”

"My son?" The adjutant didn't understand why the two were related.

The commander said coldly: "What, do you think this has nothing to do with your son?" If you refuse to carry out the orders of the city council and go to court-martialed afterwards, you will be directly court-martialed, and you will also leave a stain on your file. ”

"When the time comes, not only your son, but also your grandson and great-grandson will not be able to enter the government post for the rest of their lives, and they will not be able to go to private companies that have some requirements for back adjustment, and most of them can only go to the factory as cattle and horses."

"That's what you want? Well? Because of the benevolence of one thought, affect your whole family and future generations? ”

The adjutant stopped talking, the blankness in his eyes quickly disappeared, and after only a short psychological struggle, his expression became as gloomy as that of the commander.

The commander glanced at the border refugees pouring into the fire identification zone outside the rusty wall, and said coldly: "Let the two teams drive all the vehicles to the city gate and block them, and the rest of the people change their heavy weapons, and only warn them once, and if they do not retreat after the warning, they will all be shot!" ”

Soon, the order was given to all the soldiers of the M6 District, and they drove the motorcycles, transports, armored vehicles and other vehicles in their inventory to the city gate and lined up in a formation, and set up roadblocks in front of and behind them.

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the people all changed into weapons specially used for intensive killing, some carried individual light machine guns, and some set up heavy machine guns in groups of two in the firepower, and boxes of ammunition were also quickly transported.

At this time, the fastest border refugees had rushed to a position more than 100 meters away from the city gate, and from a distance, it was crowded with people, like a sea of black oppression.

In the face of the swarming crowd, the commander took the loudspeaker from the warehouse and shouted: "Please exercise restraint and calm!" The Rust Wall Control System in M6 is down due to an accident and is being restarted, and the Rust Wall is not open to the border! ”

"Repeat! The Rusty Wall is not open to the Frontier! Please consciously exit the fire identification zone! Violators have the right to be shot in accordance with the wartime law! ”

Obviously, compared with the original amplified radio that came with the rusty wall, the power of this portable speaker is too small to be heard clearly in the boiling human voice.

The commander's wrist was very iron, and when he said it, he didn't use a round of warnings and ordered directly to the soldiers around him:

"Free fire!"

Although the soldiers were a little cold, after the initial confusion, they also knew what to do.

Shooting, that is to complete the instructions issued by the city council, it is official business, even if the sky falls afterwards, there are leaders above to stand up, and they only need to deal with the moral guilt in their hearts.

If you don't shoot, the sense of moral guilt is gone, and you will just wait for the squatting number and the future of the whole family to be scrapped afterwards.

Even though the heart was cold, the cost of disobedience had overwhelmed everything, and everyone pulled the trigger one after another.

"Da Da-" All kinds of light and heavy machine guns sprayed long tongues of fire, and the steel whips formed by bullets were thrown into the crowd, opening the prelude to death.

In the face of machine gun bullets, the human body of ordinary people is too fragile, coupled with the dense crowd, a salvo of just a few seconds overturned hundreds of people in the front, pieces of blood mist bloomed, and the dead and wounded fell like dominoes.

Suddenly, the crowd screamed:

"They. They shot!! ”

"Why shoot, isn't it open the door for us to pass? What the hell is this for! ”

"Don't come over to the back! They shot!! ”

The refugees in front saw that many people were shot and fell to the ground, and they were almost paralyzed with fright, and they desperately squeezed backwards, trying to escape.

The crowd in the rear was unable to see and the surrounding people were so loud that the shouts and gunshots of the people in front were not heard, and they did not know what was happening, and they continued to move forward.

In this way, the people in front and back are huddled together, and the overall inertia is forward, and the crowd is still moving towards the rusty wall.

"Second round, keep firing!"

As soon as the commander gave the order, the rain of bullets struck again, and the crowd in front of them seemed to be swept into a meat grinder, and the dense blood mist continued to burst open, bringing more frightened screams.

Finally, after several rounds of volleys, people finally sensed that something was wrong, and the panic was detonated by the constant smell of blood in the air, scrambling to flee, and the crowd finally began to move backwards in general.

In order to ensure that the task was completed as soon as possible, the commander continued to urge the soldiers to shoot into the open field, pressing all the way until everyone was forced back outside the fire identification zone.

At this time, the fire identification zone was littered with devastated corpses, numbering in the thousands, most of which were not even killed by soldiers at gunpoint, but by the stampede of the crowd in panic.

In that kind of dense running, once you accidentally fall, no matter how strong your body is, you can't get up again, and you can only be trampled to death.

There were also some people who did not die on the spot, dragging their bodies covered in bruises and crawling screaming in pools of blood, but because everyone was driven out of the fire identification zone, no one dared to come in to save people, so they just crawled and crawled, and finally bled to death.

The fledgling hopes of the refugees on the border were dashed in an instant.

Behind them are fierce beasts in hot pursuit, and the mercenaries will run out of ammunition sooner or later.

Ahead was an intransigent fire identification zone, and the soldiers of the Rusty Wall Defense Force watched them like a grim reaper.

Once again, they fell into despair.

Due to the wide scope of the beast crisis, not only the border areas were completely affected, but also the inner city was shaken to a considerable extent.

Coupled with the fact that the security forces have been deployed to assist the giant companies in evacuating, the street security is basically unattended, and civilian drones controlled by the people can be seen hovering around the rusty wall.

Countless live videos were filmed and posted online one after another, spreading exponentially on major social media pages and media sites.

If it is understandable that the authorities of Crescent City were helpless and panicked in the immediate aftermath of the disaster, because the entry of ferocious beasts into the interior is unprecedented, and no city has a plan for this.

Even if the rusty wall gate was closed later, forcing the border refugees to retreat, everyone scolded and scolded, and deep down they could still understand it, after all, it was too chaotic at that time, and if the fierce beasts poured in when the city gate was opened, the situation would be completely out of control.

But in the end, when tens of thousands of Crescent City mercenaries rushed to the border, they forged a flesh-and-blood defense line for the refugees.

In such a situation where the rear is stable and secure, and it is clear that the door can be opened to save people, the Rusty Wall defense force actually chose to use heavy weapons to strafe the crowd and kill thousands of refugees alive.

Anger erupted in the hearts of every netizen.

Whether it is a local in Crescent City or a foreigner, they all vented their anger in the comment area and social page at this time.

[Thugs and mercenaries are fighting to the death against fierce beasts, and the authorities are helping giant corporations kill people, everyone now knows who the real enemy is, right?!] 】

[Crescent City Council, I quote what you said at the inauguration ceremony - I will be the guardian of Crescent City, and I will do my duty to protect the life and happiness of every citizen. You are so despicable, really, you are a disgrace to all mankind]

[Everyone should remember this scene!] It's not just a disaster in Crescent City, it's something that can happen to each of us when it happens to us one day! 】

[Despicable giants, as well as these politicians who are careless of human life, history will remember you, and you will definitely pay the price for what you have done]

As the internet went into a frenzy of rage, Schenkov, who was in the Rusty Wall Defense Command Center, also learned of the bloody massacre that had taken place outside the M6 Zone.

Schenkov was so angry that his face was distorted, his clenched teeth almost oozing blood from his gums, and he pointed at Amir's nose, his voice trembling with anger: "I am deeply ashamed to be in the company of scum like you. ”

Amir snorted coldly and said, "If you have time to scold me here, you might as well think about how to wipe your ass afterwards." ”

"You should be glad that there is no order from the court in the capital yet, you are still the director of the General Bureau of Public Security, and you enjoy the treatment of a ruling member of the city council, otherwise I will let people shoot you on the spot!"

"You pack up yourself, it's almost our turn to evacuate, and the people escorting you are outside, ready to go to the airport."

Schenkov's face was cold, and he slammed Amir away with all his might, and walked downstairs alone.

"Director." Outside the building, several members who had been temporarily transferred from the Fourth Anti-Riot Division, who were in charge of escorting the director of the General Bureau, greeted them at this time.

Schenkov ignored them, walked straight to his car, opened the door and sat in.

A riot squad member came to the window of the car and reminded: "Director, our airboat is over there, take the airboat, we will escort you to the airport." ”

"Do you want to protect me?" Schenkov looked at them with a hidden emotion in his eyes that was incomprehensible.

"Come on, then."
