4 a.m.
Trucks carrying urban garbage formed a long queue and passed by the southern military camp. Soldiers standing at the door were inspecting the trucks under the leadership of an official.
In recent years, a large number of criminals have escaped from the barrier area by hiding in garbage trucks.
At this time, a truck slowly stopped at the checkpoint. Several soldiers were holding infrared thermometers. Just as they were about to measure, the official stopped them. Then he walked directly to the truck driver's side, and the truck driver threw it away.
A package of things was given to him. He weighed it in his hand, opened it, glanced at it casually, and nodded.
The truck passed the checkpoint smoothly. The official called a few soldiers on duty, took out some money from his pocket and gave it to them. The soldiers nodded happily and stood aside, continuing to inspect the passing garbage.
transport truck.
In just one hour, there was a large backpack behind the official, filled with banknotes, and the dozens of soldiers accompanying him all smiled with satisfaction.
It was just after 5 o'clock in the morning. On a hill in the south of the barrier area, more than 10 garbage trucks were lined up. A large number of criminals got off the trucks and began to carry some materials in the garbage.
Far away from them was an abandoned wartime city, which was where these criminals planned to go.
Most people plan to live outside for a few years and then blend into the city after the limelight in the city has passed.
Many people are unwilling to go to jail, and a sentence of several decades is unimaginable for many people.
In addition, there are more and more loud voices in the city demanding the death penalty for criminals. Nowadays, human life span has been extended, and most people do not want to die. If Congress really introduces the death penalty, it will be very difficult for many criminals.
Say, they are all fatal.
The vast barrier area has now become a paradise for criminals. Although the large number of buildings left by humans in the past are dilapidated, it is possible to live relying on these buildings. As long as you still have money in your hand, or
If you are more ruthless than others, you can live here.
At this time, criminals from different forces began to gather in twos and threes, already holding weapons in their hands. Everyone was cleaning up their houses quietly, with almost no sound. No one believed anyone, and they were all wary of each other.
Soon hundreds of people began to go their separate ways. The most were a group of ten people, and the least was two or three people. Carrying a large amount of supplies, they began to head towards a large area of ​​abandoned vehicles. A team of 5 people was very lucky.
We found a car that could still move, but it just needed repairs, so a few people started working on it.
Bang
Several people who were repairing the car were startled when a trace of fire appeared in the distance. They sped up in fear and wanted to escape from here as soon as possible.
At this time, less than 1 kilometer away from the abandoned vehicle dump site, a group of more than 10 people was surrounded. On the opposite side were nearly 30 people and two RPGs. They were wearing thick clothes, veiled, and had a look in their eyes.
With an excited smile.
"Keep the things, otherwise don't blame us for being rude."
"How could you do this? You took our things and we will starve to death."
The leader laughed.
"What does your life and death have to do with us?"
In the end, more than a dozen people obediently handed over the supplies and turned around to walk away. However, the leader was completely angry at this time. He immediately signaled with his eyes, and several of his subordinates also understood. Seeing a group of people carrying supplies, they began to
Spread out in all directions.
Soon, with the sound of gunfire, a gun battle began.
The side with the mutants quickly won the victory. Looking at the more than 20 corpses on the ground and the captured robbers, the leader laughed.
"If you have to spare others, spare them."
Bang bang
Gunshots rang out, accompanied by bursts of screams. The captured robbers' knees were all smashed by the gun without exception. The leader carried the gun and shouted to everyone to start cleaning up. After a while, a bunch of people were still howling.
The robbers whimpered in pain, but soon the wind and sand drowned out their voices.
As last year's criminal investigation unfolded, more and more criminals fled to the barrier area. The military conducted several clearance operations, but the effect was not obvious. The harsh environment and complex terrain of the barrier area made these crimes more difficult.
They provided effective shelter.
Many of the military's clearance operations failed, and there were casualties. At this time, on the southern military camp wall, Osman quietly looked at the fire that had just extinguished in the distance. He looked back at the training ground below,
Soldiers undergoing training.
Many people seemed to have no energy at all. Osman sighed helplessly and scratched his head. Last year, several military operations failed, resulting in more than 200 deaths. Nowadays, there are more and more voices of dissatisfaction in the army.
.
The problem of the barrier area must not be left unchecked. Criminals left the city in every possible way, and finally penetrated into the city from the northwest. After changing their identities through the black market, they stepped into the sunshine again.
When prisons are overcrowded, most criminals can only be accommodated in management centers within the area, and under the supervision of administrators, they perform street cleaning or garbage disposal work every day.
"What's wrong? It's hard to see you showing such a look."
A soft voice sounded, and Osman turned his head and looked at Zijuan holding a big bag with a large amount of money in it.
"About 200 more criminals left the city early this morning, with the help of military officials."
Osman sighed. Corruption in the army is also a serious problem. Many raw materials for weapons manufacturing are flowing out of the army, and this is understandable. At present, the army of nearly 30,000 people can only exercise every day.
And learn some tactical courses that many people don’t know when they will be able to use.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The only role of the army at present is to attack directly after the farm is short of manpower or there is a large-scale riot in the city. Other than that, there is nothing important to do in the army.
Osman looked worriedly at some soldiers who had finished their daily training. For them, training was just a daily job. Many of them completed it with a coping attitude. Most of them would return to their dormitories after the training.
Inside, several people gathered and started playing cards and chatting.
"Let's try harder and apply for the next campaign to eliminate criminals in the barrier zone."
Zijuan said, Osman shook his head.
"To be honest, I don't have much confidence. Maybe I'm not really suitable to be the leader."
Zijuan squinted at the military camp below. There must have been a commotion in the military camp now. Someone reported what happened this morning. Zijuan quickly came to deal with it, confiscated the stolen money, and arrested more than 50 people.
"This environment has been formed. Although it is somewhat difficult, we have to find a way. Changing the status quo can never be achieved by relying on one or two slogans. We also need to be able to assess the situation. Osman, your way of doing things is too straightforward.
After a while, the current army is basically a mess because there is no leader to dominate everything."
Osman looked at Zijuan in surprise.
"Do you understand what I mean, Osman? The reason why the leader is called the leader is because everyone can see it. Let's just take it step by step. Let's start with the daily training."
Osman's heart was filled with excitement, but then he quickly sighed. From the several criminal collection operations in the barrier area last year, it can be seen that the military's combat capabilities are really poor, whether it is coordination or the process of fighting.
The mobility and execution of orders are both too low.
"In order to prevent criminals from bribing people in the army to leave openly, I have asked Noah and the others to build a large measuring instrument. In the future, manual testing will no longer be needed."
"Sorry Zijuan, there is only one thing I can do, find a way out, because there is no way out. These people who have devoted their youth to the military camp know that when they leave here, they will have nothing.
There will be leftovers.”
Zijuan sighed helplessly and walked to Osman's side.
"You think too much. You always think about others, but have you ever thought about what they need? When you were in school, everyone thought you were a warm-hearted person, but after that, many people thought you were a warm-hearted person.
It's not a good thing to think too much about others. Don't put too much psychological burden on it. It's not anyone's fault, and no one can fix it in one step."
Osman hummed. Today's army seems to be worthless. It would be a pity to eliminate it. But if it is not eliminated, huge financial resources will be spent every year to support it.
There have been many voices in Congress about cutting military spending, and they feel that the military only needs to stay on guard at the food bases in the east, and other places can be left to local administrators. There is no need to invest such a large amount of funds in four places every year.
In the past, the role of the military was to guard prisoners working in agricultural bases. Now that prisoners wear collars, the role of the military has been further weakened.
Ottoman has tried various methods to find a way out for the current army, but many attempts in the past few years have failed without exception.
Because there is absolutely nothing that can mobilize the enthusiasm within the army, the army can only wait and wait until any major problems occur in the city to attack.
After the large-scale crime investigation in the city ended last year, many people's lives have become richer, and society has become more and more stable.
"If you really can't find a way, should you ask the principal?"
Zijuan said and Osman nodded.
"I have to have a good talk with the principal about the future of the army."
5:31 am
In a cell in the prison, the alarm rang. Soon some officers from Section 11 ran out from the management room and opened the door of the cell. A heavy-duty prisoner was trembling, twitching all over and uttering white words.
Mo was taken away.
For a while, many prisoners woke up and looked through the small windows on the door. At this time, several prisoners looked solemn in a cell. Recently, many unexplained illnesses have occurred. The prison may have an explanation.
To be continued...
