Private cars drove out of various communities one after another and merged with the convoy that was about to leave; residents with large and small packages dragged their families and boarded the vehicles that were about to travel, and many people fought for a place on the heavy-duty truck.
, fought life and death and even used guns - even modified passenger cars are not as strong as heavy-duty trucks.
The police did not hesitate to punish them harshly. Anyone who disrupted order without causing serious consequences would be temporarily detained by the police, and their evacuation order would be arranged last. Those who used guns would be shot directly.
The police's strong attack immediately deterred those with evil intentions, suppressed many people's uncontrollable desires, guaranteed the interests of most residents, and effectively guaranteed the smooth progress of the evacuation.
If the police fail to control the situation as soon as an out-of-control trend occurs, the army of residents preparing to evacuate is likely to immediately fall into chaos. Once the fragile order collapses, the consequences will be disastrous. I am afraid that only violent suppression can restore order.
.
Since the government ordered the communications department to cut off mobile phone and network signals, residents of the community who were not the first batch of evacuees still did not know that the government had made the decision to abandon Jingjiang. However, residents close to the evacuated community have gradually discovered that something is wrong. Many residents
Rushed out of the neighborhood regardless.
For this group of residents, the government has implemented differentiated treatment. Those with private cars can directly join the evacuation convoy, while residents without private cars are advised to go home and wait.
The vast majority of people were unwilling to go home and persistently wanted to join the evacuation team. However, in order to maintain order in the evacuation, the military and police on duty could only harden their hearts and keep the crowd within the community.
The staff of various streets almost shouted at the top of their lungs, but they could not stop the gathering of more and more citizens.
Pleading, cursing, pushing, crowding, crying, all kinds of sounds filled the sky. Many citizens even held up the double-barreled shotguns they had just obtained, threatening the soldiers and police on duty to die together if they did not open the community.
The situation was more severe than Leng Jiang expected. In just half an hour, the order was on the verge of getting out of control. There were more than 20 stampedes, with more than 60 casualties. The angry crowd and the military and police could turn into a big fight at any time.
Massive bloody conflict.
However, in the face of the severe situation, Leng Jiang could not come up with an effective way to prevent the situation from deteriorating. In desperation, Leng Jiang could only act separately with other city leaders, going from community to community, publicizing community after community,
He patted his chest and promised all the citizens that no official would leave until 300,000 citizens evacuated. He, the mayor, would be the last to leave!
Although Leng Jiang was indeed determined to do this, many citizens still refused to believe it, but it had some effect and brought the situation back from the brink of collapse.
In order to stabilize order, the interrupted mobile phone communication was first restored. The city government first disclosed the evacuation situation through text messages, and then announced the detailed evacuation plan on television, and repeatedly assured that the military was capable of protecting the safety of the people.
However, in order to prevent the spread of the news, the city's network has never been restored.
Amid the chaos, the first train full of passengers started slowly.
There were only four berths in the soft sleeper compartment, and a dozen people were crammed into it. Their anxious eyes were looking out of the car through the windows with iron bars. There was relief, attachment, and reluctance in the eyes.
There is also confusion about the future.
Professor Qin sat by the window, staring blankly at the slowly retreating platform outside the window, and let out a faint sigh.
"Grandpa..." Bai Xiaoting wanted to persuade Professor Qin, but she didn't know what to say.
"Forget it, I'm fine." Professor Qin waved his hand, "Let me be quiet.
Bai Xiaoting agreed obediently and sat down beside Professor Qin without saying anything.
The train drove faster and faster, and soon the station was far behind. Within a few minutes, the train had already reached the edge of the city. It was still far away, and Bai Xiaoting saw the towering city wall.
The train approached the city wall, and a tall gate above the railway slowly opened. The train blew its whistle and roared past. The gate was lowered again, separating the inner and outer cities into two worlds.
At the intersection only a few hundred meters away from the gate, Ye Han heard the whimpering whistle in the distance, and a hint of melancholy suddenly appeared in his eyes.
The train drove faster and faster, and within a short while, Jingjiang City was left far behind. The concrete forest of the modern city was replaced by the endless wilderness.
Finally leaving the city threatened by giant insects, Bai Xiaoting suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart.
Professor Qin, who had been staring at the train window, suddenly saw a lone giant ant outside the window. The giant ant was not interested in the train whizzing by, and was focused on dragging half of the giant mantis on its way.
Professor Qin extended his gaze, and not far away, a tower-shaped earth bag as tall as a person came into view.
Professor Qin's pupils shrank and he stood up: "Girl, did you hear the gunshot?"
"No!" Bai Xiaoting's eyes were confused, looking confused.
"Where are you!" Professor Qin asked the others.
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and they didn't understand what this old man was doing. However, considering their age, several people shook their heads to express that they had not heard the gunshot.
Professor Qin's face changed drastically, his lips trembled violently, and the sound of his teeth chattering was so clear.
Bai Xiaoting turned pale with fright: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine!" Professor Qin pushed Bai Xiaoting away, took out the phone with trembling and skinny hands, and tried to dial, only to find that the phone was out of battery.
"Damn it, Xiaoting, call me!" Professor Qin broke into a cold sweat.
Bai Xiaoting hurriedly handed over her fruit phone. Professor Qin was too shaken to answer the phone, so he simply ordered: "Girl, call Mayor Leng, quickly!"
Bai Xiaoting was startled: "Grandpa, I don't know his phone number..."
Professor Qin was startled, and then immediately added: "What about the others? If you can contact Mayor Leng, anyone's phone number will do!"
"Does the phone call between Ye Han and Brother Zhou count?" Bai Xiaoting asked guiltily.
"Forget it, call him right away!" Professor Qin rushed to the doctor in a hurry, not caring whether Ye Han and Zhou Yun could talk to Leng Jiang.
Bai Xiaoting had never seen Professor Qin be so glum. She dialed Ye Han's phone number as quickly as possible and put the phone directly to Professor Qin's ear.
The monotonous dial tone sounded, and Professor Qin's breathing suddenly became rapid.
Ye Han, who was on duty, suddenly felt the vibration of his phone. He thought it was Xiaojing calling him back and immediately took out his phone. When he saw the three words "Bai Xiaoting" displayed on the screen, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.
