Shanghai's peripheral defense system has not yet been fully established. There are basically no buildings like the Jinling City defense tower that Chu Yunsheng saw before. This may be related to the lack of time, or it may be due to busy dealing with the many space entrances within the city. Related, there are only some military fortifications not far apart - based on the fire points of civilian buildings and isolation trenches dug around the city, which are connected to each other by various fences and barbed wire, forming a simple isolation zone.
The outskirts of the fortifications were crowded with refugees from all over East China, speaking in various local accents, pleading, or cursing, pushing and shoving, making it a mess, just to get a chance to enter the city.
At this moment, the heads of the Disaster Command are probably hating Chu Yunsheng to the bone. There are already a large number of people in the city, and the limited survival resources are extremely tight. A large number of citizens have been evacuated from Nanjing and other nearby cities, and the whole city has become extremely crowded. The city was overloaded. Song Zihuai's insistence on sending out the broadcast of information about Shanghai's survival zones became the last straw that crushed the city. After darkness fell, the huge number of refugees who spontaneously organized themselves accelerated. The influx of people almost crowded every corner of the city, exceeding the city's survival warning line by more than ten times!
In Chu Yunsheng's original memory, after darkness fell, there was no warning or filing. No one knew what happened or what would happen. From the government troops to the people at dawn, they rushed to the battle and left. Take one step at a time, and wait until the insects and other creatures form a large-scale invasion, and countless people die, then you realize that something is wrong. After that, the number of people who can escape to key cities will be very few. What Chu Yunsheng has experienced personally In that great retreat and great escape, less than one in a thousand or ten thousand people finally reached their destination alive, and the vast majority of them stayed in the darkness forever.
Now the situation has changed. The government and the army have deployed in Shanghai in advance. People who have received the news no longer sit at home waiting to die. The insects and monsters have not yet formed a large scale. People rushed into Shanghai, the largest city in East China, looking for opportunities to survive.
However, the reality waiting for them is not as good as imagined, once the population far exceeds the survival resources that a city can bear. Without the attack of insects, the competition for resources within the city can quickly produce greater disasters.
Just like these fences and defense nets on the outside, they are so weak that one or two insects can destroy them. Its real purpose or use is not actually to defend against various man-eating monsters that come from outside the city and haunt the dark depths. Instead, the number of refugees continues to increase.
After the fence defense network is built, if you want to enter the overcrowded city, you must get an entry permit!
Otherwise no one can get in.
Just a permission to enter the periphery of the city has become a resource, and it is also the most precious resource. Without it, all subsequent survival resources are impossible to talk about. In front of the trench fence, the dignity of life is wantonly violated by everyone and everything. Trampled on, it gradually disappeared. Once anything becomes superfluous, its value will rapidly depreciate, even life is no exception.
An entry permit became what all the refugees on the outskirts of the fortifications desperately longed for. While they hate the unfair upper class and curse the policymakers, they are always envious of the people inside and the refugees who have obtained the permits. But in the end, no one dares to force their way into the isolation zone. , the black hole in the muzzle of the gun has really been shooting out bullets since a few days ago!
Coordinators sent by the government and the military have repeatedly claimed that the city is not safe at the moment, and that the armed forces are cleaning up bugs and monsters in the city. The dangers inside are not much different from those outside. I hope everyone can understand. Those who are unwilling to leave can camp on the outside. The government will try its best to solve some material problems. As for when they can enter, there is no further information. They are either unclear or avoid answering, waiting for notification.
The refugees outside the fortification naturally did not believe this explanation, and some even called it the most ridiculous lie. But what can be done? There is no way to confirm the process of cleaning up bugs and monsters in the city, but it is a fact that it is overcrowded. Occasionally, there are people who are hungry and can't stand it and come out looking for opportunities, which is the most powerful proof.
In desperation, most people settled down in the empty houses on the outskirts, and had to fight with the city defense troops for a while every day, fighting for the opportunity to enter the city, hoping that good luck would come to their heads, especially when someone was let in. At that time, the public sentiment was even more intense, and bloodshed happened every day at different positions on the city's defense line. With the development of the times, fairness and justice have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. "Why can he go in but I can't?" This is the biggest point of conflict at the moment.
Of course, more people are following the crowd and making noises and scolding, pretending to be united with all the refugees and advancing and retreating together. At the same time, they are secretly making their own little plans and contacting people they know inside through various channels. Find connections through connections, and be ready to "smuggle" in whenever there is an opportunity. Others? Take care of yourself first!
The development of the situation and Chu Yunsheng's memory are like a river passing through a fork. From here, it begins to run towards a different future.
When Chu Yunsheng stood outside the fence, he couldn't get in. It was better to disguise himself than to break in anonymously. At least the awakened person could get in, or he could sneak in quietly. With his current lightning speed, he could face the long defense line of the city defense army. , it is always easy to seize the opportunity. In fact, he did this before, sneaking in quietly and lurking quietly. This was the case in Ice and Snow City and Shu.
But this time, he is not going to do that, he is not going to hide or hide, he is going to go in boldly!
I just want to clearly tell the heads and heads in the city again - the rumors outside the city are correct, Chu Yunsheng is indeed alive and has come in!
Although he was only at the first level of Dual Heaven, Chu Yunsheng's mentality was completely different from previous times.
He no longer cares about the leakage of ancient books, and is no longer afraid of threats to his relatives, nor is he afraid of the military power in the city. As the survivors of Nanjing said, he is like a sword. It may not be able to hang in the sky, but its edge has been revealed. , hiding it will only make you petty, why not let it shine!
But if it were just like this, with Chu Yunsheng's cautious habits and character, he might still adopt the method of entering secretly, hiding in the dark and observing first, who can be used and who cannot be used, who can be killed and who can Without killing, who is in power, who is not in power, etc., clarify the high-level trends that are being smeared and cannot be explained by Yu Jian, and then take step-by-step actions. achieve the originally planned purpose.
However, after meeting and fighting with Big Head, Chu Yunsheng was enlightened in many aspects, not only in fighting, but also in other aspects.
The example of Big Brain's complete failure is right before our eyes. He was obviously much stronger than him, but he only allowed himself to take a breath, which was the end of death.
Now, after building momentum outside the city, the injury has recovered. He is fully prepared for war and is in a strong position. If he does not take advantage of this opportunity to unsheathe it like a sharp sword, as time passes and the sharp energy passes, allowing the leaders in the city to breathe again, he will be passive again.
The city defense fence was built along the outer ring road, surrounding it in a circle, only protecting the main urban area of the city, and other suburban towns had long been ignored. Even so, Chu Yunsheng also expected that once a large-scale war started, it would definitely shrink quickly. The middle ring or even the inner ring was the real core of defense.
There is only one entrance checkpoint every one kilometer. The overhead lights are illuminated, sandbags are placed on both sides, many weapons are lined up, and a tank is parked not far from the entrance. The black muzzle pointed coldly toward the sky.
The weather was very cold. Everywhere you touched was cold, and the lights seemed to be frozen, shining on the side of the upright building. It looks even more steep and cold.
There were crowds of people in front of Station No. 17, including new arrivals and those who had been here several times and still refused to give up. With the "assistance" of the staff, a chaotic queue formed and was jammed on the cement road at the entrance.
"Let me in! My father-in-law's house is inside. Why don't you let me in?"
"My name is Huang Ken. How many times have I told you that I went to the city on a business trip last month and my unit is inside. This is proof. Just take a look."
"I am from the Jinhua Municipal Government, and I am a classmate of Director Zhang Sifeng of your municipal bureau. I want to make a call! What, there is no phone. Okay, young man, let me in first, and I will take you to see him and ask him to give You prove it, and I promise to give you...the certificate? Didn't I say I lost it?"
"I am……"
"me……"
In front of a short table, the people who took their turn excitedly and eagerly waved their fists, splashing spit foam, wanting to kill the thin young man with glasses behind the table.
But it's more of a flattery, I just hope he can be merciful and allow me and my family to pass.
But the young man kept snorting coldly, patting the table, expressionless, and said without raising his head: "Next one!"
show mercy? Are you kidding? The higher-ups gave him a limit of 30 places a day. Except for those who can't afford to open the back door, the only ones he can really control are 1 or 2. Without enough benefits, how can he let you in?
At first he was transferred here, and he was very depressed for a while. After all, it was too close to the outside of the city, and the risk factor increased sharply. He might have lost his life here. But not long after he arrived, the city began to implement temporary Taking measures to limit the influx of people, the power in his hands suddenly became very popular. It is not an exaggeration to say that he can control the fate of the refugees outside the city!
Every day, there were so many people who secretly gave gifts to his parents that they could form a company, and they all eagerly begged him for help. The gifts were as heavy as they were, and they just begged him to accept them. But even so, he may not be able to appreciate those gifts. There are so many that he is spoiled for choice. Two days ago, there was a pretty little girl who was eager to beg him to bring her parents in. Zhong is even willing to sleep with him for one night...
Just relying on your father-in-law, just relying on the certificate of a unit, just relying on the white teeth of claiming to be the leader, you want to get the "entry permit"? Dream on!
He thought with disdain, and threw aside the registration information of the previous person without looking at it again. These procedures were just a show of following the requirements above. Then he took out a blank registration paper again, but there was no sign of it. Someone came forward, a little surprised, and was about to slap the table. Suddenly, he felt something strange in his heart. The crowd seemed to suddenly become quiet, which was very abnormal.
He pushed up his glasses, frowned and raised his head. A long rainbow from the darkness was reflected in the lenses. It was like a fire cloud coming in, flying away in the sky, and it was right in front of him in less than a moment.
"Monster! Shoot, shoot!"
The young man screamed, stood up from his chair in fear, stepped back one after another, and almost fell to the ground.
The soldiers reacted very quickly. They had experienced similar things many times in the past few days. When they saw the shadow, no need for the young man to say anything, they quickly raised their guns and fired together. The whistling bullets dragged a flash of light and fired. Towards the cold night sky.
Seeing that the bullet was about to hit the red cloud, he saw a flash of light from the knife, slicing across the air, making a pinging sound when it hit the bullet. The next moment, the red cloud made a hissing sound, passed through the bullet group, and landed directly at the entrance to No. 17, Xiao Xiao stop.
"It turns out to be a human being."
"It seems to be an awakened person."
"So awesome, not even afraid of bullets!"
"It seems, it seems, I saw it two days ago..."
There were whispers in the crowd, and it seemed that some people had guessed something. They watched the flaming cold knife being inserted into the scabbard and consciously pushed it away.
"Who's in charge here?"
The person who came was none other than Chu Yunsheng. He looked at the soldiers and asked.
"I am, sir?"
The young man wearing glasses trembled and crawled out from under the table, and replied with a flattering smile. Although there were not many people who were awakened, not everyone was worthy of his envy. The knife just now was different. People are by no means ordinary awakened people. If you can curry favor with someone, there will be hundreds of benefits and no harm.
Chu Yunsheng turned to look at him and continued to ask: "Which army are you from? What is your military position?"
The young man took a breath, smoothed his clothes, tried to calm down, and said respectfully: "I am not from the army, I am from the government——"
Chu Yunsheng snorted coldly, but did not let him continue. He immediately interrupted him and said: "You are not from the army, why are you standing up?" After saying that, he faced the soldier holding the gun and said: "Call your officers to come out."
"I'm the platoon leader." Since he was here to see the military, a man walked out from among the soldiers. He looked like a second lieutenant platoon leader. He was tall and slightly majestic.
Chu Yunsheng threw the document Fang Baixiao gave him from the Wu Na Talisman into the platoon leader's hand and said: "My identity is written in the document. I will report it to the military headquarters immediately and tell the ** Division Commander Fang Baixiao , I’m waiting for him in the city.”
The platoon leader took the document and glanced at it. His face changed drastically, as if he had seen a ghost. His hands trembled and he stammered about what to say. However, Chu Yunsheng turned into a red cloud with a whoosh and disappeared into the darkness. middle.
"Platoon Leader Zhang, who is that person?" The young man wearing glasses was scolded by Chu Yunsheng, but he did not dare to show dissatisfaction. Seeing Platoon Leader Zhang's shocked face, he realized that this person must have a great background.
But he didn't expect that Platoon Leader Zhang, who had always been his brother-in-law, put away the documents. For fear that he would see him acting distant, he hurriedly climbed into a military vehicle and drove into the city without even saying hello.
The young man was stunned, his head turned rapidly, and he had a flash of inspiration. He knew that his opportunity had come. No matter who it was, it must be a big deal to make the military so nervous. At the moment, they could still take care of the registration work. , it would be a great achievement to report it to the superior immediately!
