Darkness is Coming: Chapter 219 live to death
The chariots and horses outside the city gate of Xinyuan River are like rumors running around in the city gate, and they do not stop for a while.
There are constantly corpse hunters, scavengers, search teams and material transport teams coming and going. Hundreds of thousands of people like Ding Zhuangfei are running back and forth in Nanyan District, various settlements, and the outer city of Xinyuan River. Between the inner city and the inner city, hardworking like tireless worker ants, they used every spare effort to bring back materials to build their nests.
The plan for the second phase of the Yuanjiang Great Wall, which was about to be constructed, was temporarily put on hold, and more resources were poured into the outer city without the protection of walls. Bunkers, firepower points and observation rooms were built to surround the entire Xinyuan River 360 degrees. Leave any blind spot.
In the open area between the inner city and the outer city, countless buses, minibuses, buses, and school buses are parked. It is a vehicle with a complete appearance that Liu Yuanzhou ordered to be retrieved from various places. Workers and tuners sweated to get them back in service again and welded the windows of every large vehicle.
No one knew what these vehicles were used for, and no one asked. The hectic work and the fear of facing war made it impossible for everyone to pay attention to these modified vehicles - except for a few corpses in Fort 2 who were in desperate need of loading tools. people.
"How is it, Xiao Liu?" Seeing his companion returning to Fort No. 2, Cheng Xu hurriedly asked.
Now the rapidly developing No. 2 Fortress has become the transit base for most corpse hunting teams, and the Rising Sun team also chose this place as their base. The modified bus and school bus is the best choice.
"No way, boss." Xiao Liu was disappointed, shook his head and said, "I can't buy one, and the 258th Division has specially arranged for troops to be stationed next to it, even if you want to grab one and steal one."
"How come, why can't you buy it?" Cheng Xu frowned, things that the Rising Sun Team can't buy are really rare now, "Are you ignorant and not being a good person?"
"Am I going to be a zombie if I don't behave well?" Xiaoliu rolled his eyes. He knew that what Cheng Xu said about being a human was giving gifts and bribes, and using money to open the way. , was asked by the captain again, and couldn't help but reply.
"They won't accept it. No matter how I ask, there's only one sentence: don't sell, don't rent, don't lend." Xiao Liuyi sat down on the low stool, holding up the half-drinking beer of another partner on the table. He poured it into his throat, put down the wine glass and burped, and cursed, "Damn, those faces are like stones, it's really hard to talk. Boss, let's not think about it, this Xinyuanjiang is different from Jiangxindao. In the same way, even if they don't need to put the dust on the good things, they won't let us use them, it's **** fucking bad."
"Speak less." Cheng Xu didn't get angry, and patted Xiao Liu on the shoulder lightly. He was the youngest in the team, and he was the most impulsive when talking and doing things, but he was also the best at dealing with people. If he couldn't do anything, It's the same result if someone else went there, "Commander Liu must be useful for those cars, so they won't be rented and sold."
Maybe the people at the bottom living in Xinyuanjiang don't know the truth, but Cheng Xu and others in the quasi-A-level team are well-informed and naturally know that now the 258 division commander Jiang Wendong is not the real owner of Xinyuanjiang. Commander Liu is the one.
"What's the use of putting it there every day!" Xiaoliu shouted as if he was drunk, "I don't think that Commander Liu is as amazing as you said, look at it. , In just a few days, the matter over the Nanyan District has spread in Xinyuanjiang, and people can be heard talking about it everywhere. Even this kind of confidential information will be leaked, hum, I see, but that's it. "
Hearing Xiao Liu's words, the other members of the Rising Sun team seemed to feel the same way. Although Cheng Xu did not nod his approval, he did not speak out against it. These news spread in Xinyuanjiang City, causing people to panic, which is really inappropriate in their opinion.
"Idiot."
A scolding sound suddenly came from behind, causing Xiao Liu to jump up from the low stool and look back with his small twinkling eyes, searching for the person who made the sound.
"Who scolded it? Who said it!"
"I said you idiot."
The person behind stood up generously, dragged up his high-back chair as if provocatively, walked over to Xiao Liu, put down the chair, and then sat down with a big horse without looking at Xiao Liu from beginning to end. Staring at Cheng Xu.
Xiao Liu felt the blood rushing to his head and wished he could slap the guy in the face, but he was not impulsive, the boss didn't say anything, he shouldn't show anything, this person looks so arrogant and fearless. Offending him was a big disaster.
"Don't be unconvinced." Seeing Xiao Liuqiang holding back his anger and not responding to his provocation, the man smiled gently and said to Xiao Liu, "Sit down and listen to me slowly."
Xiao Liu was about to ask why he should listen to you, and the next sentence that person asked him to sit down obediently and listen attentively.
"The news should have been deliberately released by Commander Liu's people."
"I know that most people must feel that the more critical this moment is, the more stable they must be, and they can't be chaotic. How can they deliberately spread this kind of news to disturb the hearts of the people?"
"Let me give a similar but not particularly apt example. Everyone must have heard of the allusions to the battle against the backwater. When the enemy army was several times his own, Han Xin placed the military guard against the backwater formation, forcing the soldiers to have no retreat. In order to escape from death, no one in the Han army retreated, fought desperately, fought back from the dead, and smashed the enemy."
"Is this situation similar to our Xinyuan River? It's just that we can't help choosing this situation now. If the situation is really bad to that point, it's not the river, but the sea of corpses. No matter how we control it. , there is always a channel for news to spread, and everyone can’t be blocked. Instead of wasting energy to control news, it is better to let this news spread under my control as soon as possible.”
"If the people don't know what they're going to face, if they don't know how terrifying the enemy might be, then all-round preparations for war will inevitably be hindered everywhere, and the argument of sticking to the pool and waiting for the dome to disappear is very popular in Xinyuanjiang and has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Deep-rooted, if they don’t let them know that there may be an extremely dangerous zombie army outside, they will go all out to prepare for war, and it is easy to arouse anti-war sentiment among the people. Of course, when the power comes from the barrel of a gun, you can say that the public’s emotions are insignificant in the face of power. But it is undeniable that the enthusiasm of the people will directly affect productivity and action, which is the source and foundation of the city's preparedness and execution."
"In the final analysis, the source of anti-war sentiment is the cherishing of peace and life. People only know how to cherish when they have lost it. It is because we have all lost, so we all know how to cherish. Today, no one from Yuanjiang would allow those outsiders to cherish. Disgusting walking corpses invade our land again. If they were made aware of the possible danger, everyone would do their best to protect their homes, their families, and their lives. Few of them are alive today. Really selfish and cold-blooded or stupid who can't think of that."
"So just let them know that danger is at hand, then everyone will die and prepare for war!"
Seeing Cheng Xu Xiaoliu and the others looking dumbfounded, the person sitting on the high-backed chair with a big back smiled with satisfaction, and finished the last sentence: "Commander Liu's skills are brilliant, people who can't see through. Those who can do it will do it, and those who see it through will do it. For example, I understand the purpose and intention of Commander Liu, but I am not disgusted at all. On the contrary, there is also a feeling that because I understand it, I should The idea of standing up. Now, can you still say that Commander Liu is nothing more than that?"
Xiao Liu bowed his head in shame and didn't speak. Cheng Xu's eyes were bright and he reached out to the man and said, "I'm Cheng Xu, captain of the Rising Sun team, may I ask who you are?"
Cheng Xu is an old river and lake after all, with his vicious eyes, of course he can tell that there must be a reason for the other party to say these words to them.
"My name is Luo Yingnan." The young man with a slicked back stretched out his right hand and firmly held Cheng Xu's hand, "Captain Cheng, I know who you are, I want to join you, please forgive my rashness and choose to use This way attracts your attention. But if the few minutes just now are regarded as my interview, I wonder if Captain Cheng is willing to accept me?"
"Huh?" Cheng Xu didn't expect the other party to make such a request at all.
"My brain is easier to use." Luo Yingnan put away the smile on his face and said solemnly, "So I can make the right choice every time, so I can stay out of danger and live comfortably in this apocalypse. I live my small life peacefully. But now I know I can't go on like this anymore. As I said just now, since the 258th Division deliberately spread the news and did not control it, it means that the situation is likely to be worse than we imagined. It's even worse. Every capable person should stand up and contribute to the corpse battlefield. But I can't stand the discipline of the army, so Captain Cheng, please accept me. I have done investigations, so many hunting In the corpse team, there are strong, well-equipped, and tough backstage, but if you want to say that the one who fights against the corpse regardless of petty profit, it must be your Rising Sun team."
Cheng Xu stared at Luo Yingnan for a long time and grinned: "Welcome to Rising Sun!"
"Thank you Captain Cheng!" Luo Yingnan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Cheng Xu.
………………
A storm is brewing in Xinyuanjiang City. Just like Luo Yingnan, more and more capable people are aware of their responsibilities and missions, and choose to stand up and participate in the war against corpses from different levels and directions, and contribute their own strength.
Everyone seemed to emit a light when they stood up.
When thousands of lights came on, the city was full of vitality again.
Yuanjiang is welcoming a new life.
