No one knows how many giant ants are hidden in the sewers. Once the ant colony returns to the ground, the evacuation operation will inevitably be interrupted. The military and police are likely to start a war with the giant ants again. The final result will be a waste of an entire day!
At such a critical moment, no one dares to waste a single minute.
The fire burned for more than ten minutes before it gradually extinguished. The military quickly sealed the more than 100 sewage wells that had been set on fire, completely blocking the city's drainage system.
Although this will not prevent the giant ants from entering the city again, there is definitely no problem in delaying it for three to five days. What the city government needs is exactly these critical three to five days. With this time buffer, it is enough to evacuate all the citizens trapped in Jingjiang River.
go out.
It was already after two o'clock in the morning. After a busy day and midnight, Ye Zhou and his friends finally finished their mission. They were so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes. They didn't even bother to go back to the dormitory, so they directly found a place on the roadside.
Park the car somewhere out of the way, put down the seat and fall asleep.
Ye Han slept until dawn. When he woke up, he didn't see the sun. He thought it was still early. When he looked at the time, he realized that it was already past ten in the morning, and it was almost noon.
The two returned to the station to have a quick meal, settle some personal hygiene issues, and then went back to the work of evacuating people. Their main task was to maintain order on the platform.
One train after another left the station, taking away groups of people who were either happy, nostalgic or sad.
The next morning, Ye Han unexpectedly saw a familiar figure in the crowd. It was Xiao Jing who had been missing for several days!
Xiaojing also saw Ye Han on duty, quickly lowered her head and leaned to one side unnaturally.
It seems that after some disguise, his original short hair turned into a bald head. He didn't know what was applied to his face, which made him look dark and shiny. His clothes were also very shabby.
Ye Han's eyes turned to Xiaojing, then looked at the young woman holding the child next to him, and finally his eyes fell on the young child.
Seeing the child, everything Xiaojing did had a reasonable answer. He refused to leave the police force. It was probably because he wanted to keep the weapons he was issued to protect his wife and children, so he quietly left without saying a word when the crisis came.
That's fine. Rather than fighting with a companion who can't trust life or death, it's better not to have this person.
Xiaojing is not a qualified policeman, let alone a comrade worth relying on. Ye Han disdains what Xiaojing has done, but does not want to accuse a qualified husband or a qualified father.
Ye Han looked deeply at Xiaojing, sighed and looked away.
Xiaojing let out a long breath, left Ye Han with a grateful look, and quickly disappeared into the crowd with his wife.
This was the last time Ye Han saw Xiao Jing, and he never met her again throughout his life.
Many years later, Ye Han would still think of this unfamiliar colleague from time to time. Xiaojing's face had long been blurred, and all Ye Han could remember was that he was a husband and father who would do anything to save his wife and children.
Another day later, Zhou Yun suddenly found Ye Han and brought him to a group of wounded and sick patients who were about to be evacuated. Here, they met Lao Hu, who had never heard from him.
Lao Hu was in good spirits, but one of his legs was gone. Standing next to him was a tall and lanky young man who was roughly similar to him and was over 1.8 meters tall.
"Brother Hu, your legs..." Zhou Yun stopped talking.
"It's okay, it was bitten by ants." Lao Hu forced a smile, "I'm leaving now, you two be careful."
"I will." Zhou Yun said.
Ye Han didn't speak, just nodded.
Neither of them asked what exactly happened that day, and there was no need to ask more.
Although Lao Hu lost a leg, he is still alive, which is enough.
And judging from the appearance of the father and son, there seem to be signs of reconciliation, which is definitely good news for Lao Hu.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The ant colony has not been able to enter Jingjiang again in these more than seventy hours. Only a few giant ants stranded in the city have appeared, causing a certain number of casualties. However, every time the giant ants are exposed, they will immediately attract the strong force of the military and police.
Fight back.
The situation outside the city is still bad. A large number of giant ants are being exterminated on the city wall every day. However, with the support of artillery and air power, the garrison guarding the city wall has no pressure.
However, as time goes by, there are fewer and fewer giant ants outside the city, but there are many raised ant hills in the suburbs. The ant colonies have obviously moved underground.
In order to prevent the ants from invading the city again, the military and police mobilized elite troops to guard the main drainage lines leading to the outside of the city around the clock.
Although several main lines were blown up by the military, they were not blasted close to the city wall. The distance between the explosion point and the city wall ranged from dozens to hundreds of meters.
This part of the pipeline is still under the control of the giant ants. If not defended, the giant ants can easily dig it out from the ground.
Fortunately, the situation did not turn to the worst direction.
According to the city government's plan, it should take three days to evacuate all citizens, but in fact only half of the plan was completed!
During this period, no one delayed the plan, but when formulating the plan, all citizens were treated as normal people, ignoring special groups such as the elderly, the young, the sick and the disabled!
Normal people can rush to the station quickly and take the train to evacuate on their own, but special groups need a lot of assistance. Patients, especially mental patients, not only need the accompanying care of professional medical staff, but also require larger transportation space. This means
This further delayed the time limit for the evacuation plan.
The city government's original plan to transport Jingjiang City's livelihood supplies and important information was stalled due to delays in the evacuation plan. It took another two days to evacuate all residents in the city.
Five days after the ant colony attack, the last train full of citizens left Jingjiang Station. Apart from some hidden personnel, only the army, police and some government staff remained in Jingjiang City.
At this time, the troops responsible for guarding the drainage pipes had already heard the sound of digging underground. Giant ants may dig out the ground at any time, and the countdown to the evacuation of the stranded people began.
A flatbed train stopped at the platform, and the armored vehicles, Chai Chai and other military vehicles that had withdrawn from the station drove on to the vehicle one by one. The corresponding personnel did not remove their armor. The drivers of various vehicles remained on the vehicle, while the infantry carried
The self-defense weapons were carried in the passenger carriage. In less than half an hour, the fully loaded troops drove out of Jingjiang Station.
All the excess troops in the city left by car, and the defenders on the city wall quickly withdrew and took various vehicles to the station.
The mines outside the city can effectively prevent the ants from approaching. You don't have to worry about giant ants catching up for at least a few hours.
The train was about to leave the station. It was only then that Ye Han and Zhou Yun boarded the train with the other police officers who had stayed behind, leaving the home they had fought for for so long.
