It was another quiet morning, a drizzle enveloped the sleeping Jingjiang River, and there were very few pedestrians on the street.
The low roar of an armored vehicle suddenly came from the end of the street, and the speeding wheels rolled over the water, causing splashes of water.
The bored Ye Han yawned loudly and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looking completely bored.
It has been half a month since I joined the police force. Although half a month is not a long time, this job has gone from unfamiliar to familiar, and now I understand it well.
Jingjiang City has also been very peaceful in the past half month. The giant praying mantis has not moved, and the giant mosquitoes have only appeared sporadically. Many brave citizens have begun to resume business, making the market a little more lively and less desolate.
Looking at the time on his wrist, Ye Han muttered helplessly: "Why is it so slow? I'm almost sleepy." After working all night, his upper and lower eyelids kept fighting.
"What? Can't hold on any longer?" Zhou Yun chuckled, "There are still two hours left, keep at it!"
Ye Han sighed helplessly and put down the seat regardless of it: "I can't do it anymore, let me squint for a while..."
"Boom -" A muffled thunderous explosion penetrated into Ye Han's eardrums. Ye Han, who had just closed his eyes, sat up and asked, "Where did it explode?"
"What are you going to explode? Let's thunder!" Xiaojing took a long puff of cigarette, trying to clear his mind as much as possible.
Others can take turns to sleep for a while, but he, the driver, does not have that benefit and can only do it by himself.
"No, it was an explosion!" Ye Han insisted.
"Stop!" Zhou Yun signaled Xiaojing to park the armored vehicle on the side of the road. Xiaojing immediately obeyed. The roar of the engine quickly weakened, and before the armored vehicle could stop, another loud roar came from afar.
Ye Han immediately widened his eyes: "Listen, isn't this an explosion?"
Now everyone heard clearly. Zhou Yun opened the car door and looked in the direction of the sound, but his sight was blocked by tall buildings and he couldn't see anything at all.
Putting his hands together in his ears, the sounds coming from the distance suddenly became much clearer. Zhou Yun seemed to hear dense gunshots vaguely.
"No, it's the city wall..."
Before he finished speaking, an air raid siren suddenly sounded over Jingjiang City. The harsh sobbing completely shattered the tranquility of the morning, and the expressions of several people changed at the same time.
Half a month is not long, but the number of epidemic areas in the country has grown to four, and the areas where giant insects are infested are all over the country. The air defense alarm is sounded at this time, and the reason is definitely not an invasion by foreign enemies!
The on-board radio hissed, and then an urgent voice came out: "Attention, all units, attention, all units, a swarm of insects is found on the south wall, all units will provide immediate support, repeat, a swarm of insects is found on the south wall, all units will provide immediate support!"
Zhou Yun quickly retracted into the car and said in a low voice, "The bugs are coming!"
"Damn!" Ye Han's sleepyhead immediately flew away, "If you don't come early, you won't come late. You have to come when I'm sleeping, damn!"
Lao Hu took off his rifle, removed the magazine and quickly pulled the bolt. After confirming that there was no fault, he re-locked the magazine, then pulled out the pistol and followed the same procedure.
Xiaojing suddenly froze, and the cigarette butt dropped from his mouth: "Are the insects coming?"
"Here we come." Zhou Yun said, "Let's go to the south wall."
After saying that, Zhou Yun also started to check the equipment.
Xiaojing was in a daze, glanced at Zhou Yun quickly, and then started the armored vehicle.
After the armored vehicle drove on the road to the south wall, the features on Xiaojing's face wrinkled up, looking uneasy.
Zhou Yun said angrily: "Are you so afraid of these giant insects coming?"
Ye Han glanced at Xiaojing strangely. Although the contact time was short, Ye Han felt that Xiaojing was not the kind of timid person.
Originally, the group of people had almost left, and only Xiaojing and Lao Hu persisted, which speaks volumes.
Xiaojing's face changed, and she remained silent. Suddenly she seemed to have made some determination. The hesitation on her face instantly turned into determination. She pressed the accelerator to the bottom, and the armored car rushed towards the south wall like a sharp arrow from the string.
He controlled the steering wheel with one hand and took out the phone with the other hand to dial a number. After a moment, the call was connected.
Xiaojing said in the calmest tone: "Honey, something happened to the city wall, please stay at home and wait for me."
Several people looked at Xiaojing at the same time. For some reason, Ye Han felt that his heart was clogged.
I don’t know what was said on the other end of the phone. Xiaojing agreed several times and hung up the phone reluctantly.
Xiaojing nodded, but the expression on his face was like a death row prisoner who was about to go to the execution ground, looking so tragic that he couldn't help himself.
Lao Hu also advised: "Xiao Jing, don't be impulsive at any time, and never leave the main force, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Xiaojing nodded.
Ye Han also wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
While he was hesitating, the armored vehicle had already rushed to the base of the city wall. Xiaojing stepped on the brakes and the armored vehicle stopped firmly outside the steel jungle pointing diagonally at the top of the wall.
Before Ye Han and others got out of the car, a soaked officer rushed over from beside him, waving his arms and yelling: "Get off the car and speed up the city wall!"
Zhou Yun waved to the man, responding to his command, and was the first to open the door and get out of the car.
As soon as the car door opened, the sound of explosions and fierce gunfire amplified instantly, filling everyone's eardrums. The pungent smell of gunpowder smoke filled the surroundings, mixed with the moist breath and entered the nostrils.
Zhou Yun shouted: "Follow me!" He jumped into the steel jungle and quickly ran towards the city wall.
Ye Han and others jumped out of the car at the same time and followed closely.
While running, Ye Han did not forget to observe the city wall in front of him.
This is a city wall with a colored steel structure. Inside is a bracket made of a large number of triangular irons welded together. Triangular skeleton structures are welded everywhere inside the bracket, and many triangular iron supports with rough cross-sections are stuck outside.
There is an iron ladder that looks like a staircase behind the wall. The iron ladder leads straight to the top of the wall. The bottom of the ladder is covered with branches and branches of triangular iron. The workmanship is shockingly rough.
On the top of the wall, dozens of people turned their backs to the city and faced outside the city, firing with all their concentration. The fierce gunfire was like a surging tide, and they were indistinguishable.
The iron ladder was filled with rainwater and was quite difficult to step on. Zhou Yun tried it carefully and made sure it would not slip, then he confidently rushed up with his gun in hand.
Ye Han followed closely behind. As soon as he finished the first floor, a giant mantis suddenly crossed the wall. Several soldiers guarding the wall squatted down at the same time, raised their guns and fired into the air. In the blink of an eye, the bullets in their guns were empty.
The chaotic bullets penetrated the giant mantis' carapace. The giant mantis was unable to hide and avoid it. The moment it crossed the wall, it was hit by dozens of bullets.
