Ye Han was about to speak when a faint column of smoke suddenly appeared in the night vision device. He blinked in confusion: "Bridge, please answer after receiving it!"
"Received on the bridge, please speak!" Lin Yi's eyes were red after staying up all night, but he replied as soon as he received the communication.
"There is an abandoned town in front of me on the right, look what's going on!"
"Received...nothing, there is smoke coming from a room, like smoke from a kitchen."
"I've really seen a ghost...Xiao Yuan!"
"arrive!"
Ye Han pointed at the smoke column and shouted: "Did you see it?"
"Saw!"
"Take someone over and have a look!"
"Understood!" Xiao Yuan agreed and immediately checked his equipment.
Gu Cheng waited for Ye Han to finish all the arrangements, then whispered: "Captain Ye, at most there are only a few gangsters, so there is no need to be so sensitive, right?"
Ye Han couldn't help but be startled: "What do you mean?"
"That's what it means literally." After Gu Cheng finished speaking, he realized that Ye Han didn't seem to be joking, so he couldn't help but said in surprise, "No, you really don't know?"
"Should I know?" Ye Han asked.
"I was negligent!" Gu Cheng thought of the origin of this unit, hesitated and said, "It's not a secret, but not many people know about it..."
Ye Han rolled his eyes: "Can you please be direct?"
Gu Cheng's expression froze: "According to incomplete statistics, since the Dajing Lake incident, the number of missing people in the country has exceeded 40 million. On average, there are five people per square kilometer in the country. If uninhabitable places are included,
, one square kilometer can be divided into at least twenty or thirty. In ancient times, the country's population would only be that much. Tell me, is it rare to meet a few people on dry land?"
Ye Han was extremely surprised: "Why so many?"
"More? It's better to say less!" Gu Cheng said with a very ignorant expression on his face, "Do you know where all the black households come from?"
After hearing these words, Ye Han immediately remembered Beidu's policy.
As early as more than ten years ago, Beidu decided on the first batch of fortress cities, and later added some cities one after another, forming the fortress cities that are now spread all over the country. Later, Beidu abandoned villages and towns and evacuated all scattered populations to heavily defended areas.
The city eventually formed its current situation.
He thought for a while and said: "The missing people should include the victims of previous insect disasters, right?"
"Yes, but the victims are not considered criminals."
"What happened to the underworld?" Ye Han asked shamelessly.
Gu Cheng clasped his fingers and said, "First, he didn't catch up when we evacuated, or he didn't trust the arrangements from above, so he deliberately hid and didn't evacuate."
"Oh!" Ye Han suddenly realized, "It's not surprising, there are people like this in every dynasty and every generation."
Gu Cheng put away the second finger: "The second one is that after retreating to the city, he was not suitable for life in the fortress city and ran out on his own."
"Not surprising." Ye Han commented.
Fortress cities are special wartime products. The scale of each city is astonishing. In order to prevent giant insects, no matter what kind of building they are, they are as awkward as a Japanese gun tower. More importantly, in order to maintain the order of the city, the northern capital has
The fortress city is under strict military control, everyone is divided into areas, and everyone is insured. To describe it nicely, it is like a military camp, but to say it worse, it is slightly better than a concentration camp.
In other words, although fortress cities protect the lives and safety of citizens, they do so at the expense of their freedom.
Most people feel that it is nothing to pay a small price in order to live, but there are also some people who feel that they cannot be free and living is better than death.
These people are probably the ones Gu Cheng mentioned who fled the city.
Of course, the word "escape" is very inaccurate, because Beidu is not begging for anyone. If you are determined to leave the fortress city, you can submit a written application. As long as you are an adult with full capacity, it can be approved in up to half a day.
, leaving the city from now on, life or death is up to one's fate.
This is not because the management of Beidu is particularly humane, but because these people staying in the city are also a source of instability. It is better to let them leave voluntarily to reduce the pressure on public security in the city - the fortress city is indeed particularly depressing, with various conflicts and conflicts emerging one after another.
Fang tried his best to improve the public security situation, but there was no other way to let go of the unstable factors and leave.
Moreover, Beidu does not just let people out and leave them alone. People who leave also have several different options, such as leaving the city completely and never having anything to do with it again. In this case, the military will cancel the person's information and will never be allowed to return.
Cities - It is difficult for citizens who grew up in peaceful times to accept this kind of treatment, so even if they leave the city, few people do so.
Another way is to register information with the military and become a mercenary of the military. Beidu allows major cities to provide certain convenience and assistance to mercenaries who leave voluntarily, such as exchanging collected materials for weapons, exchanging insect meat for weapons, etc.
wait.
However, this is still subject to the management of the military, and some things that exceed the minimum limit cannot be done. However, for some people who leave, doing this can not only obtain weapons, but also return to the city for refuge if necessary, which is a good choice.
Gu Cheng put away the third finger: "The third type of people are stowaways, and there are quite a few of them."
Ye Han nodded: "Understood!"
That's right, it's understanding.
There is nothing we can do about it. Even if the situation in the country is not that good, compared with other countries, the country is simply a paradise. In the eyes of many neighboring countries, the land under the jurisdiction of Beitou is so good that they all want to become the governor of Beitou.
legal citizens.
To what extent did this situation reach its peak? It reached the point where many small neighboring countries rushed to plead with Beidu, demanding that the entire country be merged under Beidu's rule in order to seek protection from Beidu!
The opportunity is rare, but the power of Beidu is limited. It can only manage its own people well, so how can it care about the people of other countries?
Besides, these places are all located in tropical areas. Giant insects are rampant in the country, which is almost equivalent to no man's land. Why do the northern capital use them?
Therefore, although Beidu received many applications, none of them agreed. Anyway, all the monkeys in Southeast Asia are dead, but the land will not disappear. The meat will rot in the pot, and sooner or later it will be Beidu's food.
But no matter what, the global situation is collapsing day by day, the borders of various countries are empty, and the ports in various places are useless. All of these provide a good smuggling environment for refugees from various countries. For a time, countless refugees poured into the country.
Since Beidu can only effectively control major cities and cannot effectively control most of the country, the refugees pouring into the country have become one of the main sources of illegal households.
Ye Han knew these situations, but he didn't know that refugees had become the main force of gangsters.
According to his understanding, the refugees mainly come from Southeast Asia, and there are also some from the northwest. However, the altitude is still a great restriction for the insect swarm, so the situation on the northwest border is much better than that of southern Xinjiang.
Gu Cheng finally retracted his fourth finger: "There are still some miscellaneous situations. It's too complicated to talk about. I can't explain it clearly for a while. This is probably the situation."
Ye Han laughed: "So you think this matter is not a big deal and there is no need to go and see it, right?"
Gu Cheng nodded candidly: "They like to live like this, I don't think there is any need to interfere."
"It's okay. I don't intend to interfere. I'll wait and see what happens."
I wanted to write about civilian life in the context of alien invasion, but I couldn’t find the right entry point...
