Approaching the urban area, everyone in the car breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the numerous buildings on the outskirts of the city.
Ye Han's eyes were sharp and he saw something different in front of him. Four tall cement mixers were lined up parked on the roadside, two excavators were occupying the middle of the road and roared, and dozens of busy construction workers were scattered around, sweating like rain.
, actually started work directly in the middle of the road.
"What are they doing?" Ye Han asked curiously.
This road is not far from the highway. When he left by bus in the morning, there was no movement here. How come it turned into a construction site in the blink of an eye?
"What else can we do? Build a fortress!" Zhou Yun replied with a wry smile.
"Bunker?" These two words swirled in Ye Han's mind, "Protected against giant insects?"
Zhou Yun nodded, Ye Han thought for a while, then suddenly opened the top cover and got out, using his eyes to look around.
The highway toll station not far away was already overcrowded at this time. There were more than a dozen construction machinery parked outside the toll station, which were obviously used for building bunkers.
Inside the toll booth, hundreds of large and small vehicles filled the road, hundreds of people crowded in front of the toll booth, and the noisy protests could be heard clearly from more than a hundred meters away.
Cursing secretly, Ye Han turned his eyes away and fell on several nearby buildings.
There are two buildings between the expressway and the third-class highway, one looks like a factory warehouse of some kind, and the other building with a familiar dark green paint is the logistics center of the post office.
There are also engineering workers working nervously in the gaps between buildings and between buildings and roads. Looking up, the windows upstairs have been demolished, and construction workers are laying bricks on the window frames. The few windows that have been built are only
What was left was a hole not much bigger than a fist.
The roof of the building was crowded with people, everyone was fully armed with guns and swords on their backs. A helicopter flew over the logistics center with roaring noise and landed slowly. The twin anti-aircraft machine guns hung by steel cables under the fuselage were gently lowered.
There are seven or eight other anti-aircraft machine guns of the same model.
Ye Han was quite surprised. This was to transform a good building into a fortress!
Today's construction industry is utilitarian and impetuous. A newly built building may collapse inexplicably. Even if it is converted into a fortress, as long as it is hit by two large-caliber artillery shells, it is unlikely that there will be many buildings that will not collapse.
But that is a war between humans. This DIY version of the fortress is enough to deal with giant insects. Even if the giant insects learn to self-destruct, it will be useless.
Looking into the distance with raised eyebrows, you can also see busy figures at the corners of buildings and streets farther away.
Ye Han retracted into the car: "Old Zhou, are you going to build a city wall or something to encircle Jingjiang River?"
"I don't know. When we came out, there was nothing." Zhou Yun also poked his head curiously.
"The government is really worth spending money on!" Ye Han sighed with a complicated mood.
Jingjiang City is big or small, but the city wall that surrounds the entire Jingjiang City is not that easy to build.
The height of modern buildings is not much lower. The government's plan is to connect the buildings in the suburbs with walls and set up enough bunkers at the intersections leading to the outskirts of the city. In this way, as long as some of the low-rise buildings in the suburbs are abandoned,
A low building can build a tight line of defense in the shortest possible time.
But insects are all flying. This city wall can prevent animals, but it may not prevent giant insects. It is difficult to say how effective the defense is. But having a wall to block the outside should bring some psychological comfort to ordinary people, but it also
It's just psychological comfort.
The armored vehicle approached the construction site. A construction worker signaled the armored vehicle to leave and go around the side. When passing the construction site, Ye Han found that a trench as deep as two people and more than two meters wide had been dug beside the road. The excavator was still working, and there was no sign of any damage.
It means to stop.
Not long after crossing the construction site, Ye Han saw a row of army-green flat-head trucks. On each truck were several vigilant soldiers with guns and live ammunition.
Trucks are being unloaded in the yard of the logistics center. Looking at the equipment, there are active military personnel, armed police officers and soldiers, and there is no shortage of militia reserves.
In the center of the courtyard were piles of ammunition boxes as tall as a person, weighing at least a dozen tons.
The armored vehicle drove into the city, leaving the busy construction site far behind, but Ye Han couldn't help but look back again and again.
"What are you looking at?" Zhou Yun asked strangely.
Ye Han said softly: "Old Zhou, how long do you think it will take for the giant mantis to reach the city?"
Zhou Yun also lowered his voice: "Run quickly, it's not slower than this car."
"Is it possible to build the wall in time?" Ye Han said quietly.
"Why don't we build it if it's too late?" Zhou Yun asked back.
At this time, the armored vehicle arrived at the first intersection entering the city. The sharp-eyed Ye Han was shocked to see two armored vehicles and two tanks parked beside this inconspicuous intersection. There were at least a platoon of infantrymen wandering nearby.
.
He couldn't help but look at the tall buildings on both sides, wondering if there were enough troops deployed on the roofs.
At the next few intersections, tanks and armored vehicles were also deployed, giving the appearance of a tight defense.
There is a look of strict security everywhere. In contrast, there are few pedestrians walking in a hurry on the street. The rolling shutter doors of the shops on the street are tightly closed, and only a few are open for business, giving a desolate look of depression and decay.
Ye Han suddenly remembered a saying: The best war is not as good as the worst peace.
He did not agree with this sentence, but everything in front of him forced him to admit how serious the damage caused by war to the country and society. Perhaps only those who have personally experienced war can understand how valuable peace is.
Even though what Jingjiang City is about to face is not a war between people.
With a melancholy mood, the armored vehicle drove into the Jingjiang Military Hospital. Doctors and nurses who had been prepared swarmed over and carefully lifted the pilot in the vehicle onto a stretcher. The nurse skillfully cut open the flight suit, and immediately installed various instruments.
to the pilot.
A young nurse screamed: "Blood pressure 86/55!"
"Send to the emergency room quickly..."
A group of people burst into the door with a bang, and a middle-aged doctor hurriedly asked: "Does anyone know where he was injured? Who knows where he was injured?"
Ye Han quickly replied: "He said he lost consciousness below the waist and didn't say anything else."
"Waist?" The middle-aged doctor's expression changed drastically, he raised his legs and ran towards the building.
"Hey..." Zhou Yun originally wanted to return the two guns that belonged to the pilots, and wanted to ask if anyone from the Army Aviation team had come to the hospital, but no one paid any attention to him.
As a member of the system, Zhou Yun is very aware of how strict the organization's control over guns is. The bullets can be used up, but the gun must not be lost.
In desperation, he could only give up the idea and prepared to take the gun back to the station and let the superiors negotiate with the military.
