Chapter 195 Return to the End of the World 23
"Dear residents, dear residents, please pay attention, please pay attention, a giant bird attacked the base last night, causing heavy casualties. If you find that someone around you is missing, please report it immediately to the nearby search and rescue personnel..."
The loud speaker at the head of the field sounded after a long absence. Chen Qian and Lin Xing looked at each other, but the government did not reveal any information about the rebellion in the outer city last night.
"At least this proves two points," Lin Xing thought about it for a while and understood it immediately. "First, the situation in the city stabilized quickly. It is estimated that the rebel forces have been completely controlled at this time;" otherwise it would be impossible not to mention it. "Second, the news of the rebellion in the outer city was concealed to avoid public panic and to prevent the situation from escalating. According to Uncle Chen, many people attended the Jinri Society's gathering without knowing what was going on. If the Jinri Society is announced as the leader of the rebels, what do you think those who have had contact with the Jinri Society will do?"
Chen Qian was silent for a while before she sighed, "I guess there will be a lot of panic. What's even more frightening is that some people will report others to protect themselves. The trust between people, which is already as thin as paper, will disappear in an instant. Just like the lessons in history, the tragedy that happened before is repeated again."
"Yes, the law cannot punish the masses. Besides, many people were deceived into joining the Jinri Club, so the people above can only keep this matter under wraps. At least they cannot make it public in front of the public. The residents of the inner city do not like the new residents from the outer city. They think they are here to pick the fruits when they are ripe."
After all, the base was built brick by brick by the residents of the inner city, and they were able to hold their ground despite several sieges by the zombies. Oh, now they have finally driven the zombies away, and suddenly a new group of people come to the house they built with great effort and demand the same treatment as the owners. Why? Is it because you guys are so shameless?
The contradiction between the residents of the inner and outer cities has always existed, but it has never been intensified. The ambitious people hiding behind the scenes seized on this point and established the Jinri Society, preparing to use the mentality of the people in the outer city that "they are not worried about the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth" to stir up trouble. After all, human history has been doing this for thousands of years.
Lin Xing narrowed his eyes. The leader and his men probably wanted to use this rebellion to wipe out the opposition in the base in one fell swoop. This was evident from the fact that the rebellion was quelled so quickly. Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. A group of strange birds that flew in from nowhere completely disrupted the plans of both sides.
Gently touching the dark circles under his wife's eyes, he said, "You should get some sleep first. You probably didn't sleep well last night because you kept taking naps from time to time."
That's true. Chen Qian is feeling dizzy now, but she still tries to stay awake: "Do you want to sleep with me? You didn't even take a nap last night. Even a strong body can't handle it."
He shook his head and said, "No, rescuers will probably come to our house to register information soon, and we still have some things to pack up. You should go to sleep first. I can still hold on."
As he said this, he went to the kitchen, filled a hot water bottle with it and stuffed it into the quilt. In just a short while, the person on the bed fell asleep.
Perhaps the warmth under her feet spread throughout her body, her slightly frowned brows relaxed, and the two blushes on her cheeks shone brightly. He touched them with his hand and found they were warm. Only then did he feel relieved and went out.
I went to the next room first. Chen Luo was dozing off by the candlelight. He woke up immediately when he heard the knock on the door. When he saw the person coming, he quickly stood up and asked, "Captain Lin, what's the situation outside?"
He also heard the sound of the loud speaker outside. At this moment, he was thankful countless times in his heart that he ran fast. If he had stayed in the city last night, first there was the army's artillery fire and then the man-eating giant birds. It was a man-made disaster and a natural disaster. How could he, an old and sick father and daughter, survive?
Thinking of this, they became even more grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Chen Qian for taking them in.
Knowing what he wanted to ask, Lin Xing did not keep him in suspense: "It looks like the situation is under control. Now the people above should be mainly preparing to study the problem of the strange bird last night."
Chen Luo heaved a sigh of relief at first, but then his face turned pale. Thinking of the bloody scene last night, a trembling voice seemed to come out of his throat: "Yesterday... yesterday's strange bird... where did it come from?"
God knows!
Lin Xing, who grew up in the base, had never seen this strange bird before. He was also wondering, after the zombie tide had finally receded, a group of giant birds that looked like prehistoric creatures appeared again. Was God really trying to make life miserable for humans?
Just as he was about to say something, the door was suddenly opened, and Chen Luo's sickly daughter came in with disheveled hair and a cane. In her left hand was a bowl of steaming hot porridge. When she saw the man in the room, she was stunned at first, and then naturally asked the man to sit down.
"Captain Lin is here?"
As he said this, he placed the bowl on the wooden square chair at the head of the bed that was used to hang clothes, and without any hesitation, he picked up the spoon and started to feed his father.
"Hey, little darling, I can do it myself. Have you eaten? If you have, just take a rest aside." The wrinkles on Chen Luo's face were almost blooming with smiles. "Put it down, put it down." Having said that, he still opened his mouth obediently when he saw the spoon against his lips. If he knew that getting hurt could break the ice in their father-daughter relationship, he would have tried it a long time ago. He originally thought that he would never get a response from his young lady in his life.
Lin Xing, who was left aside, quietly left the room, and decided not to disturb the father and daughter. There were still many things to deal with. He didn't know what the situation was in the city. The giant bird seemed to have destroyed the base's communication base station last night. The mobile phone couldn't contact the brothers in the mercenary group at all. He didn't know how everyone was doing...
Sure enough, in the afternoon, a patrol soldier came to investigate the situation. After asking routine questions such as how many people lived here, what their relationship was, and whether there were any casualties, the soldier with a grim face took out a bag of red dates and a bag of brown rice from the military vehicle outside the door.
"This is a pregnancy subsidy that the base provides to every pregnant woman." He explained, "Yesterday, many pregnant women in the city were frightened by the giant bird attack. Fortunately, human embryos are relatively strong now, and most pregnant women are safe. Only a very small number of pregnant women have miscarriages or miscarriages and need to go to the hospital to protect the fetus. But even for a very small number of them, there is a severe shortage of medical personnel in the city now."
Pointing to a house not far away, he said, "The woman next door to your left was a former medical worker. She was urgently called back to the city to help at the hospital... Ah, that's a little off topic. Recently, birth control inspectors have no time to come out of the city. If you encounter any emergency, you can press this pager. The patrolmen nearby will rush over immediately when they hear the ring."
A silver sphere was handed over. There was a striking red button in the center of the inverted sphere. It was not very big in the hand. Chen Qian had an urge to press the red button as she felt around it.
Fortunately, her little bit of common sense stopped her. She had this problem since she was a child. Whenever she saw something raised or rough, she wanted to pick it and rub it, and she had to smooth it out. She didn't expect that after so many years, she still hadn't changed this habit.
