If you ask Roland: What is the most impressive thing about living in Alfheim? In addition to high-rise buildings, high technology, numerous laws and regulations, uniforms all over the streets, and racial discrimination, the most impressive thing for him is the frequency.
Nearly abnormal evacuation training.
Alfheim not only has world-class technology and military power, but its civil defense system is also far ahead of the times. It can be said that other countries do not yet have the concept of "civil defense".
The so-called civil defense is the abbreviation of civil protection. It is an activity in which the government mobilizes and organizes the masses to take anti-air raid, disaster relief and relief measures, implement rescue operations, and prevent and reduce disaster hazards. It is part of the overall war during wartime and is also available in peacetime.
The function of disaster prevention and reduction. The completeness of Alfheim's civil defense can be reflected in the legal provisions: the "Civil Defense Law" clearly stipulates that all buildings must be equipped with underground bunkers.
, equipped with generators, air filtration devices, fire extinguishing devices and heat insulation layers, which can fully resist air strikes, poison gas, flooding, and incendiary bomb attacks. Air defense towers equipped with large-caliber anti-aircraft guns need to be built in important blocks; each community is equipped with 10~
20 households form a residents' mutual aid association as a unit. Residents must remember the large-scale civil defense facilities and evacuation sites near their workplaces and residences, and are obliged to participate in evacuation training unconditionally.
As a result, whether it is a working day or a holiday, whether it is in class or during meals, air raid sirens will always sound suddenly in Alfheim from time to time. The residents put on gas masks and fireproof partitions as quickly as possible.
Wear warm clothes, put on your evacuation backpack, and start queuing up to enter civil defense facilities in an orderly manner under the guidance of relevant staff, divided into communities, units, schools, etc....
At that time, I only felt numb and tired of this kind of too frequent acting. Later, as I grew older and experienced more, I gradually realized that it was a precautionary measure made under the special national conditions and system. Now it seems that even if it is not the kind of all-day acting,
The quasi-wartime system preparing for war and the paranoia of the elves bordering on persecution.
Safety concept. The goal is to be able to withstand the blows of incendiary bombing or mushroom planting. If you can master the basic evacuation common sense and have community grassroots organizations such as neighborhood mutual aid groups to assist in the evacuation work, at least the current urgent need will not arise.
The dilemma of being unable to move at the critical moment of retreat.
"Except for necessary food and water, don't pile other things on the carriage! Parents should take care of their children, and young and strong men should wait for the next carriage. Let women, children, and the elderly get on the first carriage! Everyone can get on the carriage.
Come one by one, don’t crowd!”
Roland held up a trumpet made of rolled iron and shouted. No matter how hoarse he shouted, the villagers carrying, carrying, and carrying large and small luggage were still in a mess. Men were arguing and roaring, women and children were wailing, and the elderly were
There was a chorus of sobs, and the scene was as chaotic as an ant's nest that had been torn open.
When encountering a sudden disaster, it is human nature to take what you can take with you as much as possible. But when considering evacuation, this is definitely not a rational move. In the event of a fire, it is to save property. This is the case for those who died in the fire.
; This is the case for those who desperately carried heavy luggage into the lifeboat when the ship sank, causing the boat to capsize and died in the belly of the fish; the same is true for the villagers who wasted time packing their luggage when mobs were everywhere, and the overweight luggage made the carriage unable to move.
"Really ... I don't understand humans."
休 The villagers who were still noisy, the spider sighed.
People always die, and sooner or later deaths will visit everyone. So, what is the significance of extending life? If you really do your best to live. Why do you want to live?
Don't understand.
Nevertheless, what should spiders do in this case.
To be chaotic in the shortest time, the masses who are chaotic to be quiet. Olying the command operation, the simplest and most effective way is to kill people. Killing one or two leaders or noisy is the most fierce.
Then, then
One of the strong men, a noisy woman, a child who is crying, and one of the old people who work hard.
After carefully selecting the target. Open your fingers, the spider silk that is enough to cut the bones is ready to go.
"Everyone has listened! I have a special order signed by the Governor in my hand. In emergency situations, they can act cheaply. According to the permissions given by the command, the local finances can be allocated to compensate residents!
Get three times compensation! "
There was a silence at the scene. Everyone paid an eye -catching piece of paper. After five seconds, the people on the carriage screamed and threw the goods from the carriage, as if discarding the garbage.
How to be moved up carefully.
"This will probably be scolded to death by people from the Finance Office ..."
Looking at the flow of retreat, Roland wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
The SAR has established a formation for half a year. Although there are consortiums and Charlie Man government support, coupled with optimizing infrastructure and various investment promotion preferential policies.
The reconstruction of Sri Lanka has to bear the additional compensation for personal property losses of the villagers, and it is still three times ... No matter how respectful the accounting of the Finance Department is usually obedient, after seeing the bill
Speed up and strangled Roland.
"Don't worry about this."
Speaking of the Millieva Paps on the side:
"Leave the lords who fled alone, and Titans, who is seriously lost in the process of before and during the incident -always pays for their stupidity, and can settle the compensation at all. I believe they will be happy to pay."
There are still many questions about these speeches, but there is nothing wrong with the argument, and there is nothing to refute by others.
"That's it."
Roland nodded with a smile, Mihnea thought about asking:
"By the way, why didn't you disclose your identity just now? Compared with Zi Xu's order, the status of the governor is obviously more deterrent, and it is more beneficial to the subsequent retreat command."
"If I really say that I am the governor, I am afraid it will be more chaotic at the scene."
Those who are confusing in chaos will grasp even if the front line hopes are desperate regardless of the psychological influence, this behavior will become more intense. In turn, if someone wants to be strong on this line, it seems that it cannot refute that it cannot be refuted.
Doubt that the people who are uncertain in chess are likely to continue to maintain the status quo, instead of choosing a second choice that looks dangerous.
"I have appeared in public as the captain of the second -level commando team who shouldered the secret mission before. Most people in the village know this. Now tell them that I am actually the governor of the SAR.
In my identity, in the case of each other's doubt, not only will they not accept it, they will also doubt whether I am a scammer. In contrast
The information that is said. It is easier for them to accept it. "
This already belongs to the category of psychological warfare. As smart as Minerva was, she also spent some time digesting and understanding it, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
(Only this aspect is completely consistent with the identity. Should I say it is smart or unfortunate...)
Minerva still doesn't know the true relationship between the consortium and Alfheim. She only regards the consortium as an important partner of Alfheim. She also doesn't know Li Lin's true identity, but this does not affect her affection for Li Lin.
Lin's judgment.
Cunning, cold, cruel, arrogant, hypocritical, and possessing ability, scheming, and skill at the same time, he is perfect for someone who leads a consortium.
From the perspective of Charlemagne’s royal family, we absolutely do not want another strong consortium leader to appear after Li Lin, not even the prince-consort. But in the current delicate situation, it will also make people feel that the future consortium president is too cowardly.
Troubled. Fortunately, Roland's performance over the past six months is enough to prove that he is indeed the candidate that meets everyone's expectations - excellent coordination and organizational skills, creative and feasible ideas, and most importantly, good popularity, not as high-pressure as Li Lin
attitude.
This should be good news for people who are fed up with the consortium's domineering style. Minerva doesn't hate this at all. But... for some reason, she vaguely feels that this may not be a good thing, but after all
She couldn't tell what was wrong. She suppressed her anxiety and questions and turned her attention back to the retreating villagers.
Stimulated by the will to survive and high compensation, the progress has been greatly improved. The first carriage is ready to go at any time. But at this juncture, the soldier responsible for counting the number of people asked:
"Strange...why do there seem to be a few people missing?"
Roland frowned slightly and looked over at him.
########
Money is enough to make people obey orders, and it can also save someone's life at critical moments.
But in the final analysis, money is just money, not an almighty god, and it naturally has its limits. People can leave their carefully guarded family property behind for a large sum of compensation, and no matter how sincere others say or how sufficient the evidence is. Never
Change your attitude and insist on being independent even if you have real money in front of you.
For example, when the village falls into chaos, a family insists on escaping alone.
The man used a farm horse to pull the carriage, carrying all the family property he could take away, his 32-year-old wife and 15-year-old daughter, and prepared to leave the village along the less traveled path.
This road was accidentally discovered by the head of the family. It seemed to be a path reserved for illegal traders, and he had almost forgotten about it. He never expected that at this critical moment, this path, which was once considered dangerous, would actually come into play in this way.
The man didn't believe what the young man said. It was a very suspicious thing to have a higher status than the lord at that age. As for the "special order"... no one had ever seen that kind of thing, so there was nothing he could do about it.
How can you believe something that is proven to be true? In the end, even if what he said is true
Okay, what reason did the Titans' officers have to rescue the Castilians who they regarded as pigs and dogs? There must be some unknown conspiracy in this. It may be that they wanted to silence them and cover up what happened in the village.
, or possibly planning to trick them into selling them to slave traders and take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.
Once doubts and imaginations arise, they will develop in an uncontrollable direction, and eventually turn into paranoid thoughts. In addition, the man also said, "Even if it is all true, just take away all the family property and hide it, and it will still be okay."
He and his wife finally decided to escape alone.
They simply chose a path of no return for themselves, and the process took no more than 10 minutes.
Generally speaking, retreating should be towards migratory herbivores, such as bison and zebras, which move in groups. Although there are still risks, the chance of survival is relatively high. If you travel alone like this, the risks you bear are much higher.
Much more.
Thieves, thugs, Titans soldiers, dangerous species, and - beasts disguised as humans.
"Is that... Marlowe, the bartender at the hotel?"
The man murmured doubtfully. He occasionally went to the hotel for a drink in his spare time. He was familiar with the bartender who liked to tell vulgar jokes. He recognized the swaying figure in the alley at a glance as the bartender Marlowe.
Scobal.
Is this guy drunk?
With questions in mind, the man got off the carriage and cautiously leaned forward. He reached behind his back with one hand and tightly grasped the dagger at his waist, moaning to himself.
"So hungry..."
"Hey, Marlowe, what's wrong with you?"
"My stomach is almost hungry...!!"
This was the last sentence the man heard. Before he could understand the meaning of that sentence, the scenery in front of him changed drastically.
The pupils that originally reflected the alley and the bartender showed a headless body with blood gushing out from the broken neck. The wife and daughter screamed with frightened expressions.
What's going on——
The mouth that could not make a sound opened and closed, and the next second it was shattered along with the whole head.
The bartender who loved telling dirty jokes was gone. Standing in front of the two women was an alien that did not resemble any known biological form.
The body shape is similar to that of a human, and it walks upright on two legs like a human, but its hands and feet are divided into many segments. Even from a distance, you can see the overly developed muscle bundles that stretch the skin until it bulges. The entire face is like a blooming flower.
Split, the inner part of the "petals"
The sides are covered with sharp teeth. The male owner's scalp has eyeballs hanging on the densely packed teeth. The "faceplate" - that is, the back of the head has several tentacles with eyeballs extending out. Look at the corpse that is still hot.
Look at the mother and daughter holding each other and shivering.
"Isn't just one adult male enough to fill his stomach? Or is it necessary to kill two women and make a reserve of food in order to isolate information after turning into that man?"
Young laughter and applause emerged in the night.
The alien and the mother and daughter looked back together. The young man in black dress was sitting on the eaves, clapping his hands and laughing.
"This is really a masterpiece. I thought it was just a failed experimental subject, but I didn't expect that it has evolved the ability to shape-shift, and it knows how to blend in with the crowd by transforming into a devoured object. This is really the great discovery of the century!"
Like a child seeing something new, the young man kept letting out innocent cheers. His handsome appearance was covered with a layer of enchanting colors under the light of the fire and moonlight. The mother and daughter, who were so close to death, were stunned for a moment.
After laughing for a while, the young man lowered his head deeply, raised the face again and twisted the corners of his mouth, and slightly grinned his lips. Rather than smiling, it looked more like the lower half of his face had grown out of hell.
Then, the sound coming from there may be the mockery of hell.
"Although it's fun, I'm tired of it. Can you all go die?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a bright light burst out from the 13mm caliber gun, illuminating the dark alley. (To be continued...)
