From today on, the Fanyang City settlement that once saw the dawn of recovery and became a post-apocalyptic paradise for three million people, as well as the people in this settlement, have become an inconspicuous scar carved in the history of disaster.
Perhaps no one has ever thought that nuclear weapons, a super powerful weapon that humans have mass-produced and used for reciprocal destruction, would be used to destroy their own cities.
Three million people were buried with 100 million rats.
Is it worth it?
From a process perspective, no one would want to sacrifice these three million people if there was even a slight chance of choice.
But judging from the results, it is worthwhile and necessary.
Fanyang has been completely defeated, and it can be seen from the technological level displayed by the rat army that humans have no chance to recapture Fanyang and rescue people in the short term.
Moreover, once the rats completely capture the city, spread it out, and rely on the existing cities to build an underground city of rats, even if they use nuclear weapons, they may not be able to do anything against the rats inside.
We can only watch these 100 million rats taking root in the city, becoming a cancer, and then absorbing nearby wild rats, developing rapidly, exploding production capacity and population. Judging from the technological level displayed by the armaments produced by this rat army,
See, rats have mastered the ability to absorb and digest human industrial facilities to a considerable degree.
It can even be inferred that at least in neighboring countries, rats have resumed the operation of some mining, metallurgy and basic heavy industry facilities, otherwise it would be impossible to manufacture so much equipment.
Therefore, the leaders of Fanyang City believe that even if they cut off their own hope of survival with their own hands, they will never let the rats get the Fanyang Automobile Industrial Park. This is a correct judgment.
For the people of Lelai, Kangyue and Rongcheng, which are just across the border from Fanyang City, this is a heart-wrenching tragedy.
But what Zhou You couldn't deny was that since he had watched the entire history of life on earth in his dream and experienced several mass extinctions in earth's history with his own eyes, he had some thoughts in his heart when facing a disaster of this level.
An uncontrolled forced calm system.
Traveling is not without emotions, there will still be mood swings.
However, once his mood swings become too great, this self-protection mechanism will be triggered uncontrollably, forcing his mind to become clear and maintain a high level of sobriety.
This is the state he is in now.
While he opened his tablet computer again, he looked at the 24-hour combat summary report compiled by the intelligence and information department from various channels, calculated the numbers in his mind, and deduced the next direction of the situation in his mind.
Intelligence shows that in the all-out war that broke out today, the total number of rats killed in the province should have exceeded 200 million.
In addition to Le Lai and Kang Yue severely inflicting heavy losses on the enemy, the human army on the Rongcheng side also severely defeated the rat army attacking Rongcheng from the west.
Before the battle started, humans discovered a total of nine armies of rats.
The battles taking place in the other five war zones were not so one-sided. Instead, they were back and forth, and the battles were intertwined. At present, the winner has not even been determined, it is just a stalemate.
In Shu Province, Fanyang City was the only place where humans really suffered a disastrous defeat. But it was also in Fanyang City that rats also suffered heavy losses.
After this battle, the main army of rats in the province was completely wiped out, and they were unable to capture Fanyang's automobile industry base.
Therefore, Zhou You judged that the rats in Shu Province would be dormant in the short term and slow down the attack pace.
People in Lelai and Kangyue can get a little breathing space.
However, Zhou You believes that this window period will not be too long.
Rats reproduce very quickly, with a gestation period of twenty days and adulthood in forty days.
Moreover, the Rat King can directly instill memories, allowing the new generation of rats to grow up quickly and fill the gap.
In addition, regardless of whether it was Shu Province or the neighboring provinces to the south, many cities were eventually captured, especially the relatively remote county towns, which were basically completely taken over.
The total population of these remote counties is not large, and due to their large area, the population distribution is relatively scattered.
Many towns and extremely scattered villages have very few people in them.
Many small families living alone were unable to withstand even the first round of disasters after humankind shrank.
Later, many people reluctantly gathered in the county town.
However, these counties, which did not have railways and highways before, naturally have flaws and shortcomings in terms of resource allocation. These shortcomings have been infinitely magnified after humans have shrunk them.
Therefore, except for a very small number of people who really refused to leave their homeland due to various reasons, all those who had the means and determination left their respective counties through various means.
In the past two or three months, some people who took the lead in repairing vehicles even developed a logistics industry chain. Their main business is to transport people from remote areas to relatively more prosperous areas with more concentrated populations.
This can earn contribution points and help your family settle in prosperous areas in exchange for more resources and better material conditions.
Even if the monetary system has collapsed, humans can naturally roll back the economic system to the era of barter. This does not even require higher-level macro-control, it only requires the population in the region to evolve on its own.
Therefore, the rats took over these cities easily.
No matter how remote a small county is, humans have left behind a lot of resources. Now, these resources will be utilized and become the basis for the rapid development of mice.
This morning, Zhou You took some members of the Zhou family team to the new county seat in the industrial park and held a meeting with the senior management team of Lelai County Government.
At this meeting, both parties briefed each other on the situation concisely and concisely.
It focuses on analyzing the impact of the fall of Fanyang on Lelai and Kangyue.
At the same time, everyone agreed that people in the next two counties may have to face complete loss of contact with the provincial capital Rongcheng and traffic disruption.
Everyone basically thinks that it will be difficult to get support from other humans from now on, and they will have to rely entirely on themselves for everything.
During the meeting, Zhou You received another important news from Zhang Jing.
It was not just Shu Province that was really under attack in the previous forty-eight hours.
Mouse's strategic goal is global.
Except for high latitudes with cold climates, rats have simultaneously launched wars of varying sizes in almost all other areas.
Today's rats have clearly realized their own advantages, maximized their reproductive capabilities, and can't wait to take over the power of controlling the earth from humans.
Judging from the outcome of the war, the rats had planned this global war for a long time and the plan was extremely thorough.
Rat armies around the world basically use the same strategic planning scheme.
That is to first fully understand the occupied areas that have been controlled, and use slaves to quickly digest and absorb mankind's existing industrial system, while focusing entirely on developing military power.
At the same time, a large number of rat kings in the occupied areas with higher IQs entered the human-controlled areas with a small number of followers, taking over the command of the rat groups in these "backward areas", imparting knowledge, investigating intelligence, and developing the rat population.
These actions are all orderly and organized.
Then, when preparations are complete, wars will be launched simultaneously on a global scale to further reduce the space for human activities and the number of communities, suppress the momentum of human reconstruction, and at the same time seize more key resources and technological reserves.
What is particularly frightening is that the rats have shown extremely excellent unified and coordinated capabilities in global operations across continents. On those island countries hanging alone in the sea, the actions of the rat legions are also highly consistent with those on other continents.
This is a sign that mice have mastered the ability to communicate over long distances.
When launching a war, there is basically a focus. Some rat armies using outdated and outdated armaments are responsible for attacking secondary targets. These offensives are just a cover, with the purpose of covering the actions of the main army and leaving the main strategic targets without support.
In addition, it can also consume some human armaments.
The real elite of the Rat are all aiming at the core target that must be captured.
There are various types of these core goals. Although some cities do not have sufficient resources and their industrial systems are not very sound, they have gathered a large population.
Some cities are industrial centers that reserve massive strategic resources that are extremely important to both humans and rats.
Some cities are simply resource producing areas.
Others, like Fanyang City, have sufficient industrial resources and important geographical locations.
The distribution of the rats' forces was extremely precise. According to the intelligence obtained by Zhang Jing, only a very small number of cities that faced the elite army of rats managed to repulse the enemy forces after paying a heavy price.
Including Fanyang City, almost most of the major targets have been conquered.
Only Fanyang City and a small number of cities can use the method of dying together after they are determined to be defeated.
What is certain is that in the future, those cities and regions conquered by rats will become the development bases of rats, allowing the rat army to take a short rest and recuperate in as little as ten days or as long as more than a month.
Then began a full-scale attack on other secondary targets.
The rats clearly had no intention of giving humans a break.
Zhou You was somewhat confused.
Based on the existing organic matter reserves on the earth and the endurance limit of the ecological environment, rats with excellent teeth and a wide range of diets can easily start from a base of 20 billion and rapidly multiply to a trillion in one or two years, and then
It can easily crush humans.
Now the mouse's strategy seems to be devastating and menacing, but behind it seems to prove the mouse's anxiety and impatience. Even if it knows that it will slow down its own development, it will forcefully speed up the eradication of human beings.
This proves that the mice must be afraid of something. It also shows that in the eyes of the mice, even if their situation is good, they still think that they have the possibility of defeat.
With such doubts in mind, Zhou You first informed everyone of the bad news.
"From now on, mankind has entered a stage of great defeat on a global scale. We are destined to be isolated and helpless. From now on, the millions of people in Lelai County and the few people in Kangyue County will
How long 100,000 people can survive basically depends on how hard we work."
Finally, everyone unanimously agreed at the meeting to implement the Jianbi Clearing Plan from now on, comprehensively clearing the vegetation around Lelai County and Kangyue County, and establishing a comprehensive defense fortification that combines open space and land.
All children with a biological age of eight years or above and basic self-awareness must become workers.
All teenagers over the age of twelve must receive military training and become reserve soldiers.
All teenagers over the age of sixteen will be simultaneously reorganized into active soldiers.
At the same time, working hours have been adjusted, and the standard working hours of all over-limit people have been extended from ten hours to sixteen hours a day. Scientists have found effective evidence that the bodies and brains of over-limit people have better recovery capabilities.
Can tolerate a life of only five to six hours of sleep a day.
The working hours of ordinary people have also been extended from ten hours a day to fourteen hours a day.
Of course, what this kind of rule really restricts is those very few people who, even in the end of the world, don’t know much about life and think they can live as they did in the past. There are not many such people, but they always exist. These few people
The existence of some people will seriously affect the working status of others and bring many negative impacts.
As for other people, in fact, most of them do not need to be constrained by rules at all and enter into ultra-high-intensity working conditions on their own.
The purpose and significance of formulating clear rules is to restrain a small number of people and avoid the situation where one mouse droppings ruins the pot of soup.
What is gratifying is that these seemingly inhumane and even harsh rules have not caused any backlash, and most people have accepted the status quo quite calmly.
It seems that past literary and artistic works underestimated human psychological quality.
A comfortable life will indeed slowly breed inertia and wear down people's will, but human beings are actually not that fragile.
The longer one lives in a chaotic era, the stronger one's mental endurance becomes.
The more serious and obvious the survival crisis of an ethnic group is, the more human nature will uncontrollably and subconsciously place the survival of the ethnic group on the highest standard and ignore personal honor, disgrace, gains and losses.
People living in the 21st century can never imagine the psychological state of ancient humans when faced with years of wars and the situation of "big hunger and cannibalism", and how they managed to survive.
.
Now, at least the people in Lelai County understand it themselves.
Every day someone dies.
No one knows which will come first tomorrow or the final doom that will come when the rat army comes.
But before that, we will not give up ourselves first.
At this time, Zhang Jing's communications soldier, who had flown to Lelai County many times, arrived again.
This time, the communications soldier was not using the low-performance small aircraft of the past, but a high-performance stealth fighter with vertical take-off and landing capabilities that had only been seen in the speculations of netizens on military fan forums.
This fighter aircraft is the same size as the original version, with only certain optimizations made at the control level. The cockpit that originally could only accommodate one person has been transformed into a multi-layered cockpit that can accommodate hundreds of people.
In fact, Zhou You already knew the opponent's intention when he saw this fighter plane.
The day after the rats launched a full-scale offensive and the global apocalypse truly came, the space program was about to begin.
This fighter plane was here to take away the quota holders, including himself.
