Chapter 71: Heavy Snow
The first snow of this winter fell quietly in the middle of the night.
The heavy snow like goose feathers, like the feathers shaking off from the body of a giant beast, dyed the world a piece of silver. The biting cold wind whistled, blowing through the sentinel stations and slums at the base.
All the people in the slums were either curled up in bed, trembling with cold, or came outside, collected snowflakes, pinched them into ice balls and swallowed them.
Hunger, cold, loneliness, pain...
Refugees began to learn to bear, adapt, and get used to it.
In the snow and ice, a bright red can occasionally be seen, bright as blood, tied to bamboo poles, along the road, and half of the bases are inserted in the streets and alleys. A reform message is written on the red festive fabric-
A new era will be established today!
The heavy snowfall from heaven did not hinder the plans and determination of some people. When it was dawn, there were a large number of patrol soldiers on the streets, shoveling snow and maintaining roads. Some brought steaming food and hot water to the slums to bring warmth.
Everything seems harmonious, calm and orderly.
At around seven o'clock, there were still two hours before the Epoch speech.
Lin Chao woke up very early and practiced shooting skills in the heavy snow for more than an hour before he had breakfast with You Qian who got up.
After a brief wash, Lin Chao changed into the moon-white scholar robe. Today he will attend the speech and appear as honorary vice president and a great man of humanity.
The snow-white robe, with a bit of Confucian atmosphere, combined with Lin Chao's own cold temperament, seemed particularly free and unrestrained. He stood at the window, looked at the ice and snow falling all over the sky, and murmured to himself: "When will such a heavy snow stop..."
...
Command Xu.
Commander Xu, who is over 70 years old, has a thin figure, like an old monkey with hair loss. His back is slightly hunched, and his face is covered with wrinkles. His surface is similar to most 70 years old, but he has a little better maintenance and a little more shiny on his skin. But what is really unique is that a faint sharp light sometimes appears in his gentle eyes, like a sharp dagger hidden under cotton, which instantly makes people stand up.
In the spacious office study, there are twenty or thirty people standing, and the lowest military ranks are all school-level.
"The snow shoveling plan has begun." Commander Xu turned his back to everyone, looking at a painting hanging on the wall, with four large brush words written on it: Serve loyalty to the country!
"Everything is done according to the prior plan and set off." Commander Xu's voice was gentle, and there was an indescribable solemnity in his plainness.
"Yes!" Everyone nodded and then stepped down.
In a blink of an eye, the people in the study were almost gone, only Chu Shanhe and two other generals were still there, one was a general and the other was a lieutenant general.
"You three, come with me." Commander Xu turned around, glanced at Chu Shanhe and the other two, with a wise light flashing in his eyes, and said, "That old wolf should have expected our plan. Let's leave it to them for the troops below. Let's catch the head wolf!"
Chu Shanhe and the other two nodded and said, "Yes!"
Commander Xu raised his hand slightly, and a middle-aged secretary next to him immediately supported him. The few people did not walk through the front door, but came to the back door, where a black off-road vehicle was parked.
After a few people got in the car, Chu Shanhe was responsible for driving.
Buzz ~!
The dark off-road vehicle was like a hunter on the snow, chasing the prey in search of the smell.
...
Outside the base, a white modified sedan was speeding on the snow. If it weren't for the two black mud marks that were crushed by the wheels, almost no one would have noticed the car.
"Damn it!"
In the co-pilot in the car, Commander He looked gloomy. He clenched his hands into fists. In his wrinkled narrow eyelids, his sharp eyes showed anger and unwillingness. This time, he knew that he had lost, and he lost completely!
This morning, before dawn, he suddenly received bad news, which was reported to him by a loyal close friend. The news said that all the officials under his school level and above were instigated by Commander Xu, and he was about to give him a fatal blow when he broke out today!
After receiving this news, he did not immediately believe it, just in case that the person was sent by Xu Huli to blackmail him. He transferred a spiritual evolutionist and used the latter's special ability to sense this loyal brain. It was not until he confirmed that he was not a spy sent by Xu Huli that he knew that the news was true!
Moreover, from the brain of this loyal close confidant, Xu Huli turned his back on his bargaining chips, not to crack the nuclear arsenal, but to obtain a major breakthrough in scientific research and discover a magical thing that can make ordinary people become evolvers!
Although it is difficult to believe such a thing, his reason tells him that it is all true.
He could only avoid the edge for a while and escape with his few of his confidants. If the green mountains are there, there will always be firewood.
"Xu Fox, you are cruel! And Lao Guo, you bastard, I should have killed you directly!" Commander He held the leather seat under the car with dry fingers tightly, and blood in his eyes spread to his eyes, looking a little ferocious.
"Commander, don't worry, Chen Yue and the others are still in the base, contacting the uncontrolled army, and will be able to evacuate from the base later." A middle-aged man in the rear seat clenched his fists and said, "Even if we lose, we can build our own base like the previous few people who moved out of the base, and they will still be the overlord of one side. When we accumulate enough power in the future, we will take back our own ones!"
"Yes, this fox is so sinister. We have so many eyeliners in the scientific research institute, but none of them have discovered heresy." Another middle-aged general said gritting his teeth.
Commander He's eyes were too long and stared at the boundless snow in front of him. Without saying a word, suddenly, a black dot appeared out of the corner of his eyes.
The black dots reflected from the rearview mirror next to him. His face changed. Looking back, he saw a black off-road vehicle chasing him like a black monster on the snow.
"not good!"
The other people also reacted and quickly took out the gun in their hands, and their faces became ugly. Although they were all generals,... they had not been on the battlefield in person for many years. Not to mention that they were older, they were not self-awakening evolutionists. But if the people chasing him were from Commander Xu and others, they would be in danger!
Bang!
The front cover of the black off-road vehicle was opened, and it was not an engine inside, but a gun barrel was supported!
This car has been modified. Generally, only the chief and commander-level people can ride in such a modified car, which is riot-proof and bulletproof, can also be used for short-distance air skiing, and used as a temporary yacht in the water. It has a power jet device behind it. The cost of the whole car is no less than that of two small fighter jets.
