Rebirth at the end of the world: I report to the country!

Chapter 148 148· “This is another deception, sorry.”

November 29, 2024, 21:55 at night - there are less than twenty-seven hours left before the ice disaster ends and the earthquake disaster strikes.

Shuinan City, Refuge Zone No. 7, Refuge Building No. 1.

The temperature has really risen. Now, even though I still feel ice when I stick it to the window, my face is no longer as cold as before.

Chi Yan pressed against the window, looking at the dark scene outside the window, sighing softly.

For her, this November, which has never happened before, is indeed a dreamlike month.

Did he really survive the first natural disaster like this? What did I do to deal with this natural disaster?

Until now, Chi Yan still asks herself this question from time to time. The feeling of unreality is too strong.

Yanyan, don't forget the reminder about the shelter. We still need to wear thick clothes. Although the temperature has risen, it will still be very cold.

Chi Yan's mother was sitting on the bed at the back and reminded after hearing this.

The last round of hail has ended for a few hours, and the temperature is already on the way back up. According to Mr. Hope's memory, the temperature in Shuinan City will rise back to normal December levels around noon tomorrow. About ten degrees.

But this is a theoretical temperature, because the ice cubes that condensed during the ice disaster need time to melt. It will not be said that if the temperature returns to more than ten degrees, the ice will melt into water instantly.

When the ice cubes melt, they will absorb heat, which will cause the body temperature to be much lower than this. It is still not advisable to wear the same clothes as usual in December.

This situation will become more serious as you go inland and will remain like this until the ice melts. Therefore, Dongguo officials recommend that evacuees do not need to change their clothes. It is still very important to maintain body temperature.

I know, mom. Chi Yan nodded without looking back and continued to look at the dark outside world.

Yanyan, go to bed early today. It's dark outside and there's nothing to see. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are the two most difficult days we will encounter. We must be in a good mental state to cope with it. The upper bunk has been The father, who was about to go to sleep, also turned to Chi Yan and reminded her.

I know... That's what her parents said. Chi Yan nodded and was about to seal the window again when a large number of light spots suddenly appeared in her pupils that reflected the night.

These light spots appeared on the first floor of every shelter, on the first floor of many buildings that Chi Yan thought were abandoned, and at the entrance to many basements...

They seemed to have agreed to light up together at this moment. For a moment, Chi Yan thought that the world was turned upside down and the stars appeared on the ground.

These lights illuminated the door and also illuminated the roads. Chi Yan saw that the doors of the shelter and the building were turned on immediately after the lights were turned on.

Rows of Dongguo soldiers filed out of the shelter, marching in uniform steps and trotting along the unobstructed road that had been opened in advance.

Kick! Kick! Kick! Kick!

It was obvious that the shelter where she was located had an additional sound insulation layer, but the sound of stomping could still be clearly transmitted to her mind. Whether it was her imagination or whether she really heard it, Chi Yan didn't know for a moment.

The soldiers were neat and orderly, and everyone clearly knew their tasks and goals. They came out from different places, with firm eyes and strong steps, striding to different locations, crossing each other without hindering each other.

Those buildings that were once thought to be abandoned, when the doors of garages and basements were opened, the military vehicles and armored vehicles of Dongguo that had been frozen for a long time slowly drove out of them and stopped at different road intersections, waiting for their owners. Get in the car and run to the distance.

The searchlights carried by everyone and the front and rear lights of vehicles intertwined into a starry river full of hope in this dark night.

The sky is not lonely either. Drones flashing red and blue lights are hovering from the roofs of various buildings, and then flying in all directions, becoming real stars.

In just a few minutes, the outside world seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

No more darkness.

A little light comes.

It turns out it's not 'dark' outside, nor is it 'nothing to see'. Chi Yan thought in her heart.

What is dark is the era of natural disasters that Blue Star is about to welcome. What is shining is the will of the people of the East. The fire of hope of the East is always burning hot and vigorous, and will never be extinguished.

Like right now.

This was a scene worth admiring, but Chi Yan did not continue to look at it. Instead, she closed the window and returned to her bed, preparing to rest as her father said.

These soldiers are great. You must know that although the temperature has risen now, the recovery time has only been a few hours. Now it is just the temperature that Dongguo judges that the army can barely withstand. In this environment for a long time Work will still get frostbite.

Because of this, the migration of Dong Dong civilians will only start tomorrow morning, precisely to prevent everyone from getting frostbite if they act too early.

Mother is right. Only when you are well rested can you face the difficult journey tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Not causing trouble to Dongguo is the greatest help to Dongguo and these soldiers who are not afraid of the cold.

But without her long tiger, Chi Yan tossed and turned on the bed for a while, unable to fall asleep.

Some of the things that had been brought over with free space, such as Changtiaohu, were packed and taken away by the shelter in advance with new free space that was slightly less than the last time.

Chi Yan actually doesn’t know whether this act of transporting things that have little practical significance for survival is a waste of transportation capacity, but she knows that she is indeed grateful to Dongguo for doing this. It also helps a lot with your spiritual needs.

Thinking about right and wrong, Chi Yan soon felt the fatigue of her brain, and finally fell into a deep sleep in this night without the sound of hail.

…

Ding ding dong——

The wake-up bells from shallow to deep echoed in the refuge building, and everyone's heartstrings were tightened. Under the 'threat' of life safety, almost everyone was cured of bedridden and procrastination.

Everyone got up, washed up, and put on their own clothes at the first opportunity. Except for infants and young children and the elderly, almost everyone was carrying the same type of backpack and carrying the same style of suitcase.

These storage equipment of the same style were distributed during this month. The purpose of standardization is naturally for better organization and storage.

After mutually confirming that nothing was left behind, Chi Yan, the Zhang family, and the Wang family stepped out of the space that had taken up almost 90% of the month.

Everyone subconsciously looked back at this space where almost everything inside was against them.

One month is short, but also very long.

This will be a permanent farewell to this room and this building.

When I see this place again, I'm afraid I can only see the pictures of the ruins after the disaster transmitted by satellite.

But parting ways is for a better future.

Compared with last night, the temperature has risen significantly. At least when you are in the corridor, you won't be shivering from the cold.

The stairwell was already crowded with a large number of Dongfang people who were preparing to take refuge. At this moment, they followed the instructions of the civil servants at the door. After receiving today's fixed breakfast, they entered the stairs one after another and walked downstairs.

Everyone was obedient. At least in Chi Yan's eyes, there were no accidents and everything was in order.

After all, these have been rehearsed, and the key points have even become test points in previous courses, requiring repeated memorization.

The previous training was very effective at this moment. Not only did everyone maintain order, but even when thousands of people were crowded in the stairway, everyone was still quiet, making the instructions of the civil servants particularly clear and ensuring that no one heard them wrong. .

Just when Chi Yan was about to arrive at the exit on the first floor, an 'accident' might have happened, because she heard what seemed to be a dispute below.

No, no, how can this be done? Let them go first, we are not in a hurry. When everyone began to listen attentively, the content of the dispute became clearer.

Then Chi Yan saw a scene that worried her - on the first floor of the shelter, in the space that originally belonged to the low-floor canteen, most of the tables and chairs had been removed, but a large number of stretchers and ventilators that did not exist before appeared. and other equipment.

You can feel the heat when you get close, and the air conditioning seems to be on inside as a 'luxury'.

And on each stretcher or piece of equipment, there was a soldier wearing a Dongguo military uniform, lying on it.

Some of these soldiers had bandages on their bodies, and some of their faces were blue and purple from frostbite... All the medical staff in the shelter were busy walking among them at the moment.

There are more people lying on the ground, leaning against the wall, sitting in the corner, dozing off with their eyes closed. Some people are even holding the shovels they used for work last night in their hands. Tools, fill this canteen.

Is the heat the air conditioner or the body temperature of these people? Chi Yan suddenly doubted her previous judgment.

Obviously, these are the soldiers who have been fighting on the front line to open the way from yesterday to this moment. They are either injured or tired and are resting in the canteen at this moment.

How can these children wait for us to get on the bus? Let them get on the bus first. I don't mean to let them jump in line. They can take our place. We can just line up at the end of the line.

Now, the two old men were pointing at them seriously and said to a soldier in front of them.

The enthusiastic aunt just now curiously asked what these soldiers should do. After receiving the answer that they had to wait for everyone in the shelter to evacuate before making arrangements, she immediately pulled her wife to argue for them anxiously.

Even the method they proposed was not to let these people line up in front of themselves, because this would affect everyone behind them, so after taking their place, they went to the back of the line, so that no one would be delayed.

Dong people have a very interesting behavior - joining in the fun, and sometimes, 'doing good deeds' can also become a kind of fun.

When the eldest uncle and auntie spoke this, the people around them who had received too much care from Dongguo in the past month immediately agreed and agreed that they would be re-ranked at the back. Maybe some of them don't want this, but no one dares to openly act as a disobedient at this time.

As for the object of the 'dispute' with the residents of the shelter, the officer looked a little dumbfounded and said:

Two old gentlemen, I know you have good intentions, and we appreciate this and are very touched, but it's really not necessary. Everything can be carried out according to the original plan.

Don’t worry, we will make proper arrangements for these children. How can we mistreat our soldiers? We may be more thoughtful than you. These wounded soldiers are not suitable for taking long-distance buses, so we will arrange for them to take a flight today. It will be faster than you to get to a safe area.

real?

Regarding the officer's explanation, the aunt still looked at the officer dubiously and confirmed repeatedly.

Of course it's true. When did our Dongguo soldiers lie to you Dongguo citizens? I feel more sorry for my children than you do. The officer said helplessly.

After the old man was silent for a while, he slowly spoke:

More than sixty years ago, a soldier lied to me like this. He said that after everyone in our village had evacuated, he would bring everyone under him back safely and join us. But at that time, I followed The family went to the temporary resettlement site and waited, but in the end they only received the bad news that all of them had become victims.

You lied to me then and you will lie to me now.

The sudden solemn words made the officer pause for a moment, and then he said with a relieved smile: Uncle, Dongguo is no longer what it was more than sixty years ago, and what we are experiencing now is not the same disaster as before. This time , everything I said is true.

Perhaps to verify his words, a plane gradually descended from high altitude and seemed to be landing at an airport not far away.

The officer also pointed at the plane with a smile and said: Two old men, do you think it's a coincidence? This plane is here to pick up these children. They are very safe!

Really? The old man was still worried.

Of course it's true! the officer assured with a gentle nod, and even raised his hand: I swear, those wounded soldiers will leave here on a plane, otherwise I will be an island flower in my next life... No, the island flower has been destroyed Yes, it’s just a poisonous oath!”

After hearing such a vicious oath, the two old men finally believed it, and then they boarded the bus with satisfaction, not forgetting to remind the officer before getting on the bus:

Remember to take them back safely.

I know! For sure! Why don't you believe me so much?

After the bus left, the order here was returned to the civil servants. The officer himself returned to the cafeteria and found a corner - he hadn't slept all night, and he was very tired after a night of heavy physical labor. .

Before falling asleep, the officer raised his head and glanced at the departing bus, with a gentle smile with a hint of apology.

He had indeed sworn a very vicious oath, but in his oath, only the injured would be allowed to leave by plane.

Most of the soldiers who were not seriously injured in this canteen and other shelters, including himself, were from the rear group.

There was no way they were leaving before the citizens were gone.

The plane does not belong to them who are still relatively healthy.

Sorry, two old men.

This may be another deception.
