Seventy Three The Beginning of Evacuation

Private cars drove out of various communities one after another and merged with the convoy that was about to leave; residents with large and small packages dragged their families and boarded the vehicles that were about to travel, and many people fought for a place on the heavy-duty truck. , even used guns in a life-and-death fight - even modified passenger cars are not as strong as heavy-duty trucks.

The police did not hesitate to punish them harshly. Anyone who disrupted order without causing serious consequences would be temporarily detained by the police, and their evacuation order would be arranged last. Those who used guns would be shot directly.

The police's strong attack immediately deterred those with evil intentions, suppressed many people's uncontrollable desires, guaranteed the interests of most residents, and effectively guaranteed the smooth progress of the evacuation.

If the police fail to control the situation as soon as an out-of-control trend occurs, the army of residents preparing to evacuate is likely to immediately fall into chaos. Once the fragile order collapses, the consequences will be disastrous. I am afraid that only violent suppression can restore order. .

Since the government ordered the communications department to cut off mobile phone and network signals, residents of the community who were not the first batch of evacuees still did not know that the government had made the decision to abandon Jingjiang. However, residents close to the evacuated community have gradually discovered that something is wrong. Many residents Rushed out of the community regardless.

For this group of residents, the government has implemented differentiated treatment. Those with private cars can directly join the evacuation convoy, while residents without private cars are advised to go home and wait.

The vast majority of people were unwilling to go home and persistently wanted to join the evacuation team. However, in order to maintain order in the evacuation, the military and police on duty could only harden their hearts and keep the crowd within the community.

The staff of various streets almost shouted at the top of their lungs, but they were unable to stop the gathering of more and more citizens.

Pleading, cursing, pushing, crowding, crying, all kinds of voices filled the air. Many citizens even held up the double-barreled shotguns they had just obtained, threatening the military and police officers on duty with death if they did not open the community.

The situation was more severe than Leng Jiang expected. In just half an hour, the order was on the verge of getting out of control. There were more than 20 stampedes, with more than 60 casualties. The angry crowd and the military and police could turn into a violent conflict at any time. Massive bloodshed.

However, faced with the severe situation, Leng Jiang could not come up with an effective way to prevent the situation from deteriorating. In desperation, Leng Jiang could only act separately with other city leaders, going from community to community, publicizing community after community, He patted his chest and promised all the citizens that no official would leave until 300,000 citizens evacuated. He, the mayor, was the last to leave!

Although Leng Jiang was indeed determined to do this, many citizens still refused to believe it, but it had some effect and brought the situation back from the brink of collapse.

In order to stabilize order, the interrupted mobile phone communications were first restored. The city government first disclosed the evacuation situation through text messages, and then announced the detailed evacuation plan on television, and repeatedly assured that the military was capable of protecting the safety of the people.

However, in order to prevent the spread of the news, the city's network has never been restored.

Amid the chaos, the first train loaded with passengers slowly started moving.

There were only four berths in the soft sleeper compartment, and a dozen people were crammed into it. Their anxious eyes were looking out of the car through the windows with iron bars. There was relief, attachment, and reluctance in the eyes. There is also confusion about the future.

Professor Qin sat by the window, staring blankly at the slowly retreating platform outside the window, and let out a faint sigh.

"Grandpa..." Bai Xiaoting wanted to persuade Professor Qin, but she didn't know what to say.

"Forget it, I'm fine." Professor Qin waved his hand, "Let me be quiet.

Bai Xiaoting agreed obediently and sat down beside Professor Qin without saying anything.

The train went faster and faster, and soon it left the station far behind. Within a few minutes, the train had already reached the edge of the city.

Still far away, Bai Xiaoting saw the towering city wall.

The train approached the city wall, and a tall gate above the railway slowly opened. The train blew its whistle and roared past. The gate was lowered again, separating the inner and outer cities into two worlds.

At the intersection only a few hundred meters away from the gate, Ye Han heard the whimpering whistle in the distance, and a hint of melancholy suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The train drove faster and faster, and within a short while, Jingjiang City was left far behind. The concrete forest of the modern city was replaced by the endless wilderness.

Finally leaving the city threatened by giant insects, Bai Xiaoting suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart.

Professor Qin, who had been staring at the train window, suddenly saw a lone giant ant outside the window. The giant ant was not interested in the whizzing train and was dragging half of the giant mantis on its way.

Professor Qin extended his gaze, and not far away, a tower-shaped earth bag that was as tall as a person came into view.

Professor Qin's pupils shrank and he stood up: "Girl, did you hear the gunshot?"

"No!" Bai Xiaoting's eyes were confused, looking confused.

"Where are you!" Professor Qin asked the others.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they didn’t understand what this old man was doing. But considering their age, several people shook their heads to express that they had not heard the gunshot.

Professor Qin's face changed drastically, his lips trembled violently, and the sound of his teeth chattering was so clear.

Bai Xiaoting turned pale with fright: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine!" Professor Qin pushed Bai Xiaoting away, took out the phone with trembling and skinny hands, and tried to dial, only to find that the phone was out of battery.

"Damn it, Xiaoting, call me!" Professor Qin broke into a cold sweat.

Bai Xiaoting hurriedly handed over her fruit phone. Professor Qin was too shaken to answer the phone, so he simply ordered: "Girl, call Mayor Leng, quickly!"

Bai Xiaoting was startled: "Grandpa, I don't know his phone number..."

Professor Qin was startled, and then immediately said: "What about the others? Anyone who can contact Mayor Leng can call anyone!"

"Does the phone call between Ye Han and Brother Zhou count?" Bai Xiaoting asked guiltily.

"Forget it, call him right away!" Professor Qin rushed to the doctor in a hurry, not caring whether Ye Han and Zhou Yun could talk to Leng Jiang.

Bai Xiaoting had never seen Professor Qin so glum. She dialed Ye Han's phone number as quickly as possible and put the phone directly to Professor Qin's ear.

The monotonous dial tone sounded, and Professor Qin's breathing suddenly became rapid.

Ye Han, who was on duty, suddenly felt the vibration of his phone. He thought it was Xiaojing calling him back and immediately took out his phone. When he saw the three words "Bai Xiaoting" displayed on the screen, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
