Nine Hundred and First Alert

Approaching the urban area, seeing the buildings lined up in the suburbs, everyone in the car heaved a sigh of relief.

Ye Han had sharp eyes, and at a glance, he saw that the front was a little different from usual. Four tall cement mixer trucks lined up and parked on the side of the road, two excavators occupied the middle of the road and bang, and dozens of busy construction workers were scattered all around, sweating profusely. , Actually started work directly in the middle of the road.

"What are they doing?" Ye Han asked curiously.

This road is not far from the highway. When he left by bus in the morning, there was no movement here. Why did it become a construction site in a blink of an eye?

"What else can I do, build a bunker!" Zhou Yun replied with a wry smile.

"Bunker?" These two words turned in Ye Han's mind, "To prevent giant insects?"

Zhou Yun nodded, Ye Han thought about it, then suddenly lifted the top cover and got out, looking around with all his eyesight.

The highway tollbooth not far away was already overcrowded at this time, and there were more than a dozen construction machines parked outside the tollbooth, which were obviously also used for building bunkers.

Inside the toll booth, hundreds of large and small vehicles clogged the road, and hundreds of people crowded in front of the toll booth. The loud protests could be heard clearly from more than 100 meters away.

Cursing inwardly, Ye Han turned his eyes away and landed on several nearby buildings.

There are two buildings between the expressway and the tertiary highway, one looks like a factory warehouse, and the other building with a familiar dark green paint is the logistics center of the post office.

There are also gaps between buildings and between buildings and roads. Engineers are working nervously. When they look up, they can see that the windows on the upper floors have been removed. The construction workers are laying bricks on the window frames. There was a hole not much bigger than a fist left.

The roof was full of people, all armed with guns and swords on their backs. A helicopter flew over the logistics center with roaring noise and landed slowly.

There are seven or eight other high-level machine guns of the same model.

Ye Han was quite surprised, this is to turn a good building into a fortress!

Today's construction industry is utilitarian and impetuous. Newly built buildings may collapse inexplicably. Even if it is converted into a fortress, as long as it is hit by two large-caliber shells, it is estimated that there will be few buildings that will not collapse.

But it was a war between humans, this DIY version of the fortress was enough to deal with giant worms, even if the giant worms learned to self-destruct, it was useless.

Raising eyebrows and looking far away, you can also see busy figures on the street corners of buildings farther away.

Ye Han retracted into the car: "Old Zhou, what is this about building a city wall, and enclosing Jingjiang?"

"I don't know either. When we came out, there was nothing." Zhou Yun also poked his head curiously.

"The government is really worth the money!" Ye Han sighed with complicated emotions.

Whether Jingjiang City is big or small, the city wall that surrounds the entire Jingjiang City is not easy to build.

The height of modern buildings is not much lower. The government's plan should be to connect the buildings on the outskirts of the city with walls, and then set up enough blockhouses at the intersections leading to the outside of the city. Low buildings can build a tight line of defense in the shortest possible time.

But insects can fly. This city wall can prevent beasts, but it may not be able to prevent giant insects. It is difficult to say the defensive effect, but there is a wall blocking the outside, which should bring some psychological comfort to ordinary people, but it is also It's just psychological comfort.

The armored vehicle approached the construction site, and a construction worker signaled the armored vehicle to leave and go around. When passing the construction site, Ye Han found that a trench as deep as two people and more than two meters wide had been dug by the side of the road, and the excavator was still working. It means to stop.

Not long after passing the construction site, Ye Han saw a row of army-green flat-top trucks, each of which had a few soldiers armed with guns and armed with live ammunition.

Trucks are being unloaded in the yard of the logistics center. Looking at the loading, there are active-duty soldiers and armed police officers and soldiers, not to mention the militia reserve.

In the middle of the courtyard are ammunition boxes as tall as a person.

Let alone more than ten tons.

The armored vehicle drove into the urban area, leaving the busy construction site far behind, but Ye Han couldn't help turning his head back again and again.

"What are you looking at?" Zhou Yun asked strangely.

Ye Han said softly: "Old Zhou, how long do you think it will take for the giant mantis to reach the urban area?"

Zhou Yun also lowered his voice: "Hurry up, it's not slower than this car."

"Is there enough time for the wall?" Ye Han said quietly.

"Can't you cover it if it's too late?" Zhou Yun asked back.

At this time, the armored vehicle drove to the first intersection into the urban area, and the sharp-eyed Ye Han was surprised to see that there were actually two armored vehicles and two tanks parked beside this inconspicuous intersection, and there was at least one platoon of infantry wandering nearby. .

He couldn't help looking at the tall buildings on both sides, wondering if there were enough troops deployed on the roof.

In the next few intersections, tanks and armored vehicles were also deployed, looking like they were on guard.

Barricades, building ramparts, tanks, armored vehicles...

Army, Armed Police, Militia, Reserve...

There is a look of tight security everywhere. In contrast, there are few pedestrians walking in a hurry on the street. The shutter doors of the shops on the street are closed, and very few are open for business. They look desolate and decaying.

Ye Han suddenly remembered a sentence: The best war is not as good as the worst peace.

He didn't agree with this sentence, but everything in front of him made him unable to admit how serious the damage of war was to the country and society. Perhaps only those who have personally experienced war can understand how precious peace is.

Even what Jingjiang City is about to face is not a war between people.

With a melancholy mood, the armored vehicle drove into the Jingjiang Military Hospital. Doctors and nurses who had been prepared for a long time swarmed up and carefully carried the pilot on the stretcher. to the pilot.

A young nurse screamed: "Blood pressure 86/55!"

"Send it to the emergency room..."

A group of people rushed into the gate vigorously, and a middle-aged doctor hurriedly asked: "Does anyone know where his injury is? Who knows where his injury is?"

Ye Han quickly replied: "He said he lost consciousness from the waist down, and he didn't say anything else."

"Waist?" The middle-aged doctor's face changed drastically, and he raised his legs and ran into the building.

"Hey——" Zhou Yun wanted to return the two guns that belonged to the pilot, and wanted to ask if Lu Hang's people came to the hospital, but no one paid any attention to him. .

As a member of the system, Zhou Yun knows very well how strict the organization's control over guns is. The bullets can be used up, but the gun must not be thrown away.

In desperation, he had no choice but to give up this idea, and prepared to take the gun back to the bureau, and let the higher-ups negotiate with the military.
