In the evening, the light rain that had been drenching the whole day finally stopped, and a ray of sunset peeked out of the chaotic clouds. The sun was like a shy child, only half of its face showing. The city that had been chaotic and noisy all day slowly fell into silence as night fell.
Only the noise near the city wall remained the same.
Ye Han nestled in the chair in the armored vehicle, filled his mouth with the lunch box, chewed it twice, frowned and complained: "This broken lunch box is too unpalatable, Lao Zhou, you just
Can't you follow the advice above and suggest that we team up with the army or something?" After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at the city wall not far away.
Although the situation in the urban area has stabilized, the sense of crisis among the leaders of the municipal party committee is still strong. Not long ago, Zhou Yun received an order from the command center. All police officers in the city are on duty on the streets, ready to respond to emergencies at any time, and are ready to eat and sleep.
Solve it in the car.
Xie Changfa issued a death order that no one should leave his post without authorization, otherwise he would be severely punished.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
"Humph, why don't you say, it's good to have food, but you still pick and choose." Zhou Yun mixed the rice and vegetables together, took a spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth. He didn't even chew it but it became hard.
Swallow it alive.
This way of eating can minimize the time the food remains in the mouth and minimize the time the taste is in contact with the tongue.
Ye Han rolled his eyes: "Brother Hu, what do you think?"
"Not very good." Lao Hu chewed slowly, "When I was young, you had to ask for food stamps to buy food. If you don't have food stamps, you can't buy food even if you have money. That is to say, life is getting better now, and you young people have to work all day long.
Pick and choose.”
"I didn't tell you." Ye Han took another small bite dejectedly, "The ones I made myself taste better than this crap. Where did the bureau buy it?"
"Buy it? Go ahead and dream about it, it's made in the cafeteria!" Zhou Yun said.
"No way?" Ye Han was surprised and confused, "Master Qi is very good at cooking, who made this?"
"How do I know who it is!" Zhou Yun said gloomily, "I knew Master Qi had left, and the bureau found someone else to cook this meal."
"Bah, it's not as delicious as the one I made." Ye Han put down the lunch box angrily, "Is this for human consumption? Pig food is almost the same!"
"You're the pig I'm feeding!" Zhou Yun grinned.
Ye Han glanced at Zhou Yun sideways: "That's almost enough. Yahuazi is already laughing. Can you please restrain yourself?"
"It's hard to buy money for me, but what do you think?" Zhou Yun took a spoonful of mixed rice and deliberately paused for a moment to let Ye Han see clearly before putting the rice into his mouth.
"It would be nice to have something to eat." Old Hu said dullly.
While he was talking, a group of military vehicles drove past the armored vehicle the three of them were riding in. Old Hu said doubtfully: "Another group is here. Which group is this?"
"The fifth team." Ye Han said, "There are more than a hundred cars under the wall, right? They are really willing to spend money!"
"How can you not bear it?" Zhou Yun said while chewing, "The equipment belongs to the country, but your life is your own. If you can't guard this wall, the official will definitely suffer the consequences, and maybe you will have to go to a military court. You
Are you saying you are reluctant to be an official?"
"That's true." Ye Han sighed and looked at the lunch box that really didn't satisfy his appetite, so he simply threw it aside and stopped eating.
It’s not that he’s being pretentious, it’s just that the taste of this thing is too weird. Compressed biscuits that can break your teeth are better than this thing.
Turning to the city wall, Ye Han saw the neatly arranged military vehicles under the wall. His eyes immediately moved to the end of the convoy, where there was a flat-head truck with a roaring engine. On the unfolded carriage board, seven or eight cooks were busy working on dinner in an orderly manner.
.
Ye Han sniffed and seemed to smell the aroma of food: "Old Zhou, if I go over to eat, can I do it?" It was too painful to see that he couldn't eat.
"You can go if you want." Zhou Yun said with drooped eyelids, "Take off these clothes and do whatever you like."
"If you don't go, you won't go. How rare!" Ye Han curled his lips disdainfully, but his eyes never left the neatly arranged military vehicles under the city wall.
The city wall was originally built to defend against giant mantises. The wall structure, personnel arrangements, and weapon configurations were all designed around this standard. It was more than enough to deal with giant mantises acting alone, but it was somewhat ineffective against giant ants with a strong sense of collectiveness.
Fortunately, the neighboring troops provided timely support.
In order to prevent the same situation from happening again, the military adjusted its personnel arrangements and weaponry. In just half an afternoon, a large number of military vehicles gathered under the wall, including command vehicles, power generation vehicles, camping vehicles, medical vehicles and armored vehicles.
In addition to military vehicles, the military also set up dozens of military tents in a nearby small square.
It's a pity that there are high-rise buildings everywhere in the area, and the ground is paved with flat asphalt. There is such an extra camp, which makes people feel nondescript.
Ye Han couldn't see anything else in his eyes, he only cared about the cooking cart. If it weren't for soldiers with loaded weapons standing straight at the edge of the camp on guard duty, he wouldn't be sure he could have endured it.
The convoy that had arrived not long ago had just stopped, and a group of armored vehicles drove over on the road. Old Hu stared at those strange-looking armored vehicles and widened his eyes: "Hey, we even got a rocket car... No, the range of this thing is not higher than
Are the cannons still far away? What are you doing here to pull up the city wall?"
Ye Han grinned: "Brother Hu, this is a mine-laying vehicle, not a rocket vehicle!"
"Ah? Those tubes are all for landmines?" Old Hu touched his chin sheepishly, "I've heard of this thing before, but never seen it before."
Zhou Yun asked in confusion: "What's the purpose of the mine-laying truck here? To lay mines to ward off giant ants?"
"No need to ask, for sure!" Ye Han said.
Lao Hu was very surprised: "There are guns and cannons on the wall, and aircraft support. What kind of landmines are there?"
Zhou Yun sighed: "For some reason, night vision equipment is insufficient. I remember when I was in the army, I heard from my comrades that there were many scopes and night vision equipment in the warehouse, but I had been in the army for several years and I had never seen them before.
Now I don’t even know what these two things look like.”
"That thing is expensive, so it's normal not to use it." Ye Han nodded.
Zhou Yun curled his lips: "It's normal. It's normal at ordinary times. What should we do during a war? If it's not normal all the time, will we still need to lay mines tonight?"
As if to verify Zhou Yun's judgment, the armored vehicles drove directly to the gate leading outside the wall. The five-meter-high gate slowly opened, revealing the tip of the iceberg outside the wall covered with insect corpses.
The engines of the four armored vehicles roared as they drove out of the gate, their tracks pressing the corpses of giant mantises all over the place as they drove into the distance. The tracks made of steel crushed the carapace of the giant mantises, making a series of beeping and peeling sounds.
