Chapter 79 Stay behind...or move the whole city?
Chapter 79: Stay behind...or relocate the whole city?
"Two or three days?"
Captain Li was like a thorn in his back, his heart was jumping wildly
"Can you say... in two or three days, more bugs and corpses will run out of those space cracks?"
The wrinkles and scars on Captain Li's face were squirming like centipedes.
Many officers next to them were also silent and cold.
For a moment, the military barracks conference room was filled with an indescribable tension, with only the heavy breathing sounds between each other.
Time seems to have frozen, and many people's minds are luàn.
These days, they have been closely following the changes in space cracks in various places. From various observations, we can see that the space cracks in various places are like tides, with rising periods and retreat periods. Once the space cracks reach the rising period, they will definitely face the human world.
Next time...what will appear in the crack in the space?
Just like last time, there is an endless sea of insects, a black flaming crow, and a stench of corpses that are not afraid of bullets?
If it were those... maybe it wasn't quite hopeless. Although the bullets were almost exhausted, as long as the citizens of Xijiang City were gathered together, find a place that was easy to defend, and then all the inheritors formed a line of defense, and there was a unified command. You should be able to slightly compete with those monsters from different time and space.
But, there is nothing absolute in the world. What if a more powerful monster runs out of the crack in the space?
Or, are there hundreds of thousands or even millions of bugs that run out?
How can you resist then? What can you use to resist?
Should we watch the citizens protected by the army die tragically?
The inheritor is very powerful, everyone knows this, but most of the Yang Soul inheritors are only at level one intermediate level, and their combat power is not as good as a pistol. The Yin Soul inheritors are strong, but they may not be as powerful as the red-topped beetle and the iron-armored corpse.
According to the proportion, among the remaining 580,000 survivors in Xijiang City, there are only about 11,000 Yang Soul Inheritors, and there are even fewer yin Soul Inheritors, with less than 400.
This number is too rare and it is impossible to resist unknown monsters in another world.
"Li, Captain Li, what should I do now? What should I do next?"
"Li, Captain Li, you are talking..."
"We shoulder the responsibility of protecting the people. Even if we fight to pieces, we cannot retreat. If those monsters dare to come back, I will be the first to go up and fight to the death."
"Old Liu, calm down. We are all soldiers. We must not make undevoted sacrifices. If you want to die, your soldiers may not want to die."
"What do you think should you do... Should you stick to the spot or take the citizens away from those space cracks?"
The entire military barracks conference room slowly became a quarrel, with foam flying everywhere, and the arguments were red, each with his own opinions and opinions.
There is no way, the catastrophe a few days ago actually scared everyone to the point of being exposed. The catastrophe was like a nightmare in everyone's heart. Even though it is temporarily safe and so many days have passed, these officers will be very scared when they think about it.
Soldiers are not afraid of death or sacrifice, and they can sacrifice their lives on the battlefield.
Yes, but this is limited to the battlefield of humanity.
What is the most feared thing in this world?
The unknown, only the unknown danger is the most terrifying thing.
Those irresponsible insects and corpses were like sharp swords hanging on their heads. They not only scared ordinary people, but also the soldiers were frightened and had no sense of security.
Fighting against the enemy is at most a musket on the battlefield. After a hundred years, he will be a hero again. But if he fights against unknown creatures, he will die in a very terrible way. At the very least, he will be broken into pieces and buried in the belly of the insect. At the worst, he will be poisoned by the body, becoming a pale zombie with a tendon bursting and a pale zombie with a full body.
All kinds of bizarre and terrifying ways of dying, just thinking about it can make people sweat and have nightmares all night
So... now we must make a choice immediately, whether to continue to stick to it or lead the citizens to withdraw from Xijiang City.
"Deputy Commander Zhou, do you have any good suggestions?" Commander Li struggled to get up between his eyebrows. He has been sleeping hard these days but not having a good time. His extreme anxiety almost fucked his strength.
"Maybe we should wait and see... If we take action too early, there will be a lot of news. If the citizens know the news, Xijiang City will definitely be upside down again, and the public security that has finally been restored will collapse again..."
Over the past seven days, the army, police, and enthusiastic masses have tried their best to maintain public order and adopted various measures. Coupled with the repeated promises of the old mayor and other officials, the citizens of Xijiang City have gradually eased from the height of panic and hunluàn.
Riot, sāluàn, crime was at its peak in the first three days, but the next four days had turned a lot. At least under the suppression of the army, there was no large-scale riot. Although the occasional sin was difficult to contain, it was only a very small number.
However, the citizens of Xijiang City are still extremely worried and are trembling every day. There is no one to open for factories, commercial streets, and shops in the east and west of the city, and no one to work at all. The streets are apart from the extremely depressed, full of garbage and waste paper, but there is no cleaner to clean them.
At this time, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, so where can they continue to work? It’s too late to hide at home, not to mention the entire city is out of water and power, and citizens who are already accustomed to automation are unable to adapt, let alone resume production.
The once prosperous Xijiang City has now completely become an isolated city, with a bustling and prosperous life, leaving only a deep dead spirit. Occasionally, when the wind blows, it will blow away a few missing person notices, pale like a few underworld coins, indescribable scary
"We can't wait and see if it changes anymore... we must make a decision as soon as possible. After all, we only have two or three days left. If we delay and do not come up with a complete plan after two or three days, which will cause heavy casualties and injuries among citizens, then we are sinners, which will make our military uniforms shy."
Captain Li slapped the table hard, his face full of solemnity.
"Captain Li, I suggest that everyone staying behind will continue to stay in Xijiang City... You see, we have air defense dong, which can keep tens of thousands of old, disabled, sick and weak inside. Well, then we will build some defense lines outside the air defense dong. With the bullets we retain and the organized inheritors, we should be able to withstand for three or four days..."
The person who spoke was a battalion commander. Although his position was not high, he was one of the few yin soul inheritors in the military camp. He was a rock giant capable person. He was extremely strong and as hard as gold and stone. Therefore, his weight in the military camp was very heavy.
"Captain Zhao, are you sure you want to stay? Are you sure those monsters...will retreat again after going to rage for three days like last time? If they don't retreat, wouldn't we be surrounded by them forever? At that time, we don't even have a chance to break through, and we can only become turtles in the jar and slowly be tortured and killed by them."
This time, the other battalion commander was talking, with an old beard, rough body, and a heavy sense of oppression all over his body.
This is also a soul inheritor of Yin, a fighting qi master. He can lay a layer of blue fighting qi on his body. His lethality and destructive power are extremely terrifying. He can be called a human-shaped tank. I don’t know how much more powerful than Luffyyang, a qigong master at Xijiang University.
"Yes... I don't really agree with staying in Xijiang City. After all, there are too many uncertainties. Besides, how should we build a line of defense? All cars and construction machinery are paralyzed. In two or three days, it is impossible to build an effective line of defense with manpower alone. You must know that ordinary cement boards cannot stop those monsters," said Deputy Commander Zhou.
"Then what you mean is the whole city to move? Where to move? Are you sure there is no space crack in other places? Maybe other places are more dangerous than Xijiang City." The Rock Giant abilities slapped the table with a thunderous sound, and slapped the table so hard that it was slap.
"Well... Commander Zhao, you've got the point. According to news from other places, there are also many monsters in counties, towns and villages under Xijiang City, most of which are mainly insects, and their casualties are even heavier than ours in Xijiang City... From this we can infer that many monsters may also appear in other prefecture-level cities in Tiannan Province, and space cracks are probably available all over the country. No matter where we go, we have to face huge pressure from space cracks."
Second Lieutenant Yan’s military rank is not high, but he knows a lot of information and is very flexible in his mind. He changed his mind and continued:
"But... these days, I and several magnetic field inductionists walked dozens of kilometers on the national highway west of the city and found that there were very few cracks in the space west of the city, so I suggested moving citizens to the city west of Xijiang City. I think there shouldn't be too many corpses when we encountered on the road."
After a pause, Lieutenant Yan continued:
"The most critical point... The capital of Tiannan Province, that is, Yongcheng, is only 800 kilometers away from Xijiang City. If the whole city is moved, you will be able to get there in about 20 or 30 days."
"Move to Yongcheng?"
Captain Li moved slightly, frowned and said:
"Yongcheng has a population of three to four million, and there are more than 100,000 troops around it. It is equipped with good weapons and even has a lot of heavy firepower bombs. I believe the city defense in Yongcheng is very strong... If we can lead the citizens to move to Yongcheng, it will probably be much safer."
"Captain Li, are you really planning to move the whole city? This is simply the craziest move. If there is an accident along the way, we don't even have a defensive place. Will you ever think about how many variables will appear in the 800 kilometers or twenty or thirty days?" Captain Zhao's voice was extremely loud, like rolling thunder.
"Yes, Captain Li... This decision is too arbitrary. The whole city will be moved, and it will definitely be unbearable. Even if there is no danger on the road, panicked citizens will trample on themselves. Some people will take the opportunity to do it, fearing that many people will die in internal strife."
Captain Li waved his hand heavily, took a deep breath, and said quietly:
Chapter completed!
