118, Toxic Mist Doomsday 15
The parents were arguing, the boys and girls were crying, and the people around them were watching calmly, most of them with understanding in their eyes.
As expected, the people were pulled up to the platform, and the broadcast sounded again. This time the person who spoke was not the psychologist just now, but a young soldier.
Yu Heng said slowly: "Recently, there have been frequent theft cases in the D Hall. After our strict investigation, we have a result today-"
There was an uproar below.
"I believe everyone has memorized the wartime regulations on theft. If a child under the age of fourteen steals, the parents will be held responsible. If a child over the age of fourteen steals, the child will be punished by himself. Now, please invite the captain of Hall B to read out the punishment results."
"I don't accept it! You are being tortured into confessing! You are defying the law! I don't accept it! Why do you say we stole things! Where is the evidence? Where is the evidence!"
Yu Heng said: "Three months ago, the poisonous fog dissipated. We carried out a major overhaul of the He? Gymnasium and built an isolation house at the same time. During the construction process, we installed invisible surveillance. Do you want to see the surveillance of Hall D, Mr. Huang Zhenqiang?"
Thinking that you will not be discovered if you live in Hall B and steal from Hall D, you are dreaming, right?
There are so many hundreds of thousands of people living in the He? Gymnasium, and the management is worried day and night. In the past two years, they could not spare their hands. They were busy with food and blocking the poisonous fog. Finally, they spared their hands and installed all the surveillance.
This is the latest developed surveillance camera, which has extremely low energy consumption and is equipped with infrared light-emitting tubes to capture images in the dark. Monsters and demons have nowhere to escape.
When the isolation house was built, there was a small lamp post every 40 square meters, which would emit a dim yellow light at night as a simple lighting. The thin red dot was not obvious during the day, and everyone thought it was just a switch indicator at night. Who would have thought it was a camera?
After dealing with this batch, Yu Heng and his team forced people out.
Walking in the newly built isolation corridor, there was a pungent smell at the tip of the nose. The various halls were connected by the newly built isolation corridor, and they could also communicate with each other during the arrival of the poisonous fog, making it more convenient to manage and move around.
These isolation corridors were made of bricks pressed from the mysterious powder before, and the effect was quite good. They lasted for more than half a year without any damage. There was only one thing that was very bad: the smell was too bad.
When the matching brick pressing equipment was made, everyone was even more reluctant to make bricks by hand, fearing that they would get sick if they smelled too much. Although it was really non-toxic.
These families instigated their underage children to steal. The amount of theft was not large, but theft was one of the most serious crimes now, so they were killed so seriously to scare the monkeys.
They took people to isolated cells and did not let them idle. They were asked to do the work of pressing bricks. Some of them would go to deal with the manure pool in the safe area.
After leaving, the captain of Hall B patted Yu Heng on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, you are brave. Your captain taught you well." It was commendable that he could speak without taking a breath when tens of thousands of people were staring at him.
Yu Heng just smiled.
What is there to be afraid of? If tens of thousands of zombies were staring at him, he might still tremble.
"Okay, go back."
Yu Heng returned to his dormitory. His comrades who had changed shifts were already lying on the bed. He also took a half-hour break and had work to do again in a while.
Speaking of the poisonous fog, the pattern became clearer and clearer, but it did not make people feel relieved after finding out: because the poisonous fog lasted longer and longer, and the gaps became shorter and shorter.
The last poisonous fog lasted for five months and nineteen days, more than half a year!
During this period, there were dozens of air filter device damage accidents. Fortunately, the repairs were timely and did not cause a big panic.
While the Academy of Sciences was researching protective equipment and planting, it never gave up on developing drugs to eliminate poisonous fog.
During the past three years, various drugs were sprayed, but they could never devour the poisonous fog.
It seemed that there was an unknown poison source point that was continuously transporting poisonous fog. If you couldn't control that point, everything would be in vain.
While Yu Heng was working step by step, striving for promotion, and actively seeking information, the top management made a decision: to build an aerial city.
As mentioned earlier, the point where the poisonous fog appeared was called the poisonous source point, and there was no pattern to follow for the poisonous source point. It can only be found that it first appeared on the ground. The higher the place, the later it was affected, and it was also the first to disperse the poisonous fog.
The ground was no longer safe, the soil was completely rotten, there was no plant or animal left, and the earth was in a state of depression.
They couldn't eliminate the poisonous fog, but they developed a drug that could make the poisonous fog sink. If they all lived in high places, they would open the spraying device when the poisonous fog came, so that the poisonous fog would sink to the ground and not float up. Wouldn't it be safe?
This idea is good, but the existing technology is not enough to build an aerial city. The suspension technology alone is difficult to overcome, and there are other problems such as air pressure and wind speed.
But should we just give up?
"I don't want my descendants to be trapped in a dark place like mice, unable to see the light and move their hands and feet. What's the point of living like that?"
"If one year doesn't work, then two years, if two years doesn't work, then five years, and there are still ten or twenty years! If this generation can't do it, we still have the next generation!"
The people below will definitely not know the decision of the top leaders immediately. The living people are calculating the gains and losses of each day, accumulating surplus food like hamsters, but they don't know that the leaders have set their sights on the long-term future and set a beautiful wish -
I hope that the people of my motherland can stand in the sun again, breathe fresh air, feel the spring breeze, and see the dawn.
Seven years passed quickly, and Yu Heng was no longer a member of the patrol team. He began to go out to perform other tasks.
I knew that the patrol team was a relatively easy task, but I didn't expect that the mission was so dangerous.
The safety zone is not closed, so how could they not go out if the poisonous fog did not dissipate for a day?
Therefore, necessary outings are unavoidable. In addition to contacting other safety zones and transporting materials, the transportation of water resources in this safety zone is also necessary.
They can grow vegetables and fruits without soil, but they cannot create water out of thin air, so water transportation is necessary.
Originally, there were several deep wells dug in the He? Safety Zone, but without exception, they dried up in the past ten years and could no longer get a drop of water.
The capital is already mountainous, with few rivers and lakes, and the climate is dry. So many people are concentrated here to eat and drink, and the consumption in ten years is too high.
As a last resort, water was transported from outside to support the drinking of hundreds of thousands of people.
The place to get water is in Beihai - there is no other way. The water level of the nearest Hanjiang River has dropped sharply due to the pressure from the two safety zones of He? Gymnasium and Mingtai Safety Zone. It may take until the next rainy day to recover.
This is also a helpless thing. The water source is polluted by poisonous fog. After it is taken back, it needs to be filtered, disinfected and purified. It is good if half of the water taken back is drinkable. It is a vicious cycle. The more you take, the more you drink, but it is still not enough to drink.
Almost every day, the army goes out to get water.
This is a very dangerous job. Yu Heng put on three layers of protective clothing, put on a gas mask, and his hands and feet were particularly restrained.
After getting on the special water truck, the car drove out slowly. There were people wearing protective clothing standing by the door. When the door was opened, the car sped out, and the poisonous fog rushed in instantly. The people behind the door dealt with the poisonous fog calmly.
As soon as the car drove out, the only glass window was fascinated, but the screen inside the car showed the road conditions.
"Don't be nervous. Our car and protective clothing have gone through several generations of improvements. They are the fruits of our predecessors... Let's talk about today's mission. It's not difficult. We just need to pull out the equipment when we get to Beihai. Before that, we need to check it again and again to prevent the equipment from being damaged..."
"Don't be afraid of the poisonous fog. If you are scared, you won't even dare to get out of the car."
"You may encounter aliens who attack. They are already mutant species and are out of the human category. You can kill them on the spot. Don't get close to them. They are highly corrosive. Remember the relevant training you received!"
"Yes!"
Aliens are a species unique to the poisonous fog era. They are monsters that have lost their life signs in the poisonous fog but are extremely aggressive.
They have different external shapes. Few of them look like humans. Some are just a ball of meat, which is particularly corrosive. I heard from my predecessors that they can press a hole in the bulletproof car with their full force.
Although the security zones have sent troops to eliminate them, these things only appear and move during poisonous fog days, so it is troublesome to clean them up, and there are always fish that slip through the net.
When the car arrived at the destination, Yu Heng followed his predecessor to get off the car and then moved the equipment that had been checked repeatedly.
The water in the North Sea is not clean.
After a row of more than 30 water trucks were filled one after another, they set off.
They did not encounter any strange people on the way back and forth.
Yu Heng heard the corrosion sound in his ears finally stopped, and knew that the poisonous fog brought in had been discharged by the filtering device in the car.
When he returned to the safe zone and took off his protective suit, he saw that the outermost layer of the three-layer protective suit had been corroded with eight holes.
"Hiss - this is too scary!" The comrades in the same dormitory took a breath of cold air.
"No wonder the troops on the road lose so many people so quickly. How can a mortal body resist the poisonous fog--"
A young man jumped over and asked: "Captain Yu, if it's too dangerous, you can apply for a transfer back, and we will go on patrol together."
He was knocked by someone next to him: "Don't talk nonsense, we must obey the arrangements of our superiors."
"Oh."
Yu Heng smiled: "I know you are worried about me, thank you. But no matter how dangerous it is, someone has to do what needs to be done."
There must be new people to enter when there are losses. In the past few years, many seniors who went out to perform tasks have left. After all, if they are exposed outside and cannot return to the safe area in time, they can only be burned to death by the poisonous fog, and their internal organs will turn into pus.
In this tragic situation, those with poor psychological quality cannot be sent out. I am afraid that they will panic due to lack of experience and harm themselves.
Yu Heng has been in the army for seven years. He has enough qualifications and acts steadily. It is his turn to join the dispatched team.
Of course, if he doesn't want to go out and take risks, he has many ways to avoid it. As long as he doesn't stand out, he can patrol for another ten years.
But what's the use?
In this era, information is the most important! Their lives and deaths depend on the top leaders, and they have no control over them. If a big hole breaks in the safety zone one day, everyone will be finished.
In order to get the latest information in time, he has to climb up.
Of course, he dares to do this because he has a backer. The [Star Protection Shield] can protect him from death.
The poisonous fog is dangerous, and it has become more and more dangerous over the years. According to research statistics, the corrosiveness contained in the poisonous fog is increasing every time it appears, especially consuming air filters.
On a certain occasion, Yu Heng went out with the army to the Mingtai Safety Zone, and on the way back, he was suddenly invaded by poisonous fog.
Yu Heng was not afraid of danger. When he heard the abnormal sound, he knew something was wrong, and immediately informed his comrades in the car and sent a signal.
He was famous in the army for his sharp ears and eyes, and he had always performed very well in the five sense tests and physical fitness tests.
Sure enough, they soon found a damaged area, and thick white fog was rolling in.
"Hiss——" The comrade was startled, and quickly sprayed it with spray, and then pasted the repair materials one by one to patch up the gap.
"Fortunately you found it quickly, otherwise we would all have to explain."
The outgoing convoy would never stay outside, so even if one car had an accident, they could only watch helplessly, or even wait until the poisonous fog dissipated before they could converge.
This is not to say that other people are cruel, but the regulations are in place to protect others.
The vehicles are outside, and there is no condition to drive away the fog. Once the door is opened, both vehicles will be destroyed without waiting for the people in the abandoned car to move over.
After such irreparable things happened many times, the superiors issued such a regulation: the surviving soldiers must be saved and no unnecessary sacrifices should be made.
So the comrades in the same car said such words in sweat, and they were indeed scared.
After returning to the safe zone and handing in the mission, Yu Heng and his comrades in the same car got half a day's rest and received psychological counseling for fifteen minutes, fearing that they would be frightened by this minor accident and affect their future work status.
"I hope that what I get back today will be a new turning point." Yu Heng has high hopes for what he got back from the Academy of Sciences in Mingtai Safety Zone this time, and only hopes that this will be a successful attempt.
In the ninth year of the raging of poisonous fog, the Academy of Sciences in Mingtai Safety Zone found a ray of hope in the barren soil.
The soil that has been soaked in poisonous fog for more than ten years has undergone tremendous changes, and materials that can isolate poisonous fog can be extracted from it, and even the soil can be directly processed and used for construction.
Although the powder that can isolate poisonous fog has been developed before, it is too precious to be used on a large scale, and the odor is too strong, so it is not very popular among the people in life.
The soil found does not have this problem. For some reason, it mutates after absorbing the poisonous fog, but it is not toxic and has good plasticity.
If they are used to build quarantine zones, they can last for at least several years, without the need to frequently repair gaps and incur costs as they do now.
"Speed up research immediately, this is an opportunity!"
