Darkness is Coming

The first batch of evacuation was the elderly, women and children in modified vehicles, while the second, third and fourth batches of evacuation behind them were mostly young adults and middle-aged people, who followed the breakout troops who had cleared the way. Lined up in a long line, the formation is not neat, but it is not scattered. For most people, even if the rapid march is very tiring, as long as they follow others around, they can always persevere.

When the convoy in front was attacked, the stagnation was like a toppled domino along the string of long dragons, pushing it all the way from front to back. People who were walking quickly stopped and looked around, and they could only see that other people were the same. Doubtful expression.

   "What happened ahead?"

   "What happened, did you encounter a zombie?"

   "How can the zombies catch up so fast, don't talk nonsense."

"Where am I talking nonsense? Have you read the Catalogue of Mutants? Don't you know that cone-arm mutants can dig tunnels? We are going to the provincial road to evacuate outside the city, and we have taken a lot of detours. If there is a cone The arm variant digs a tunnel, maybe it can really catch up."

   "I heard that the convoy in front flipped a lot of cars."

   "Is there really a zombie in front? I seem to have heard gunshots just now. It's not like it came from the Xinyuan River behind. The gunshots can't travel that far. There must be something wrong up front!"

  People were clamoring and discussing for a while. The people in the front row heard the news and immediately passed it on, and the people in the back heard the news and passed it on.

From the very beginning, "a small group of zombies intercepting the convoy appeared in front, but now they have all been eliminated, but a small number of people did not obey the command and left the team privately" to the later "a large number of zombies and mutants appeared in front of the **** and the troops that broke through fought fiercely. , many people escaped from the team" and then to the last "there are countless zombies and mutants in front, the **** troops have collapsed, and if you want to survive, you should quickly follow and escape".

Every time the news passes through a mouth and spreads it again, it will always be changed by a bit of fuel and jealousy. Somehow it has turned into a complete rumor by the end of it. It is also difficult to refute rumors.

"It's not good, everyone, look behind, there are corpses chasing behind!" Suddenly someone shouted, and the people who were carrying binoculars immediately took out binoculars and looked back, and sure enough, they saw two kilometers behind. Zombies and mutants are running here at full speed.

   Is this worth it? Being caught up here is definitely a dead end. At the moment, the people who observed the situation behind them immediately put away their binoculars, spread their legs and ran, and some people even pushed the people in front of them hard in order to run faster.

  It can be said to be an example of one person doing this, but dozens or hundreds of people do it at the same time, which undoubtedly confirms the news that "there is a corpse horde behind".

With a bang, the crowd was completely chaotic. No matter how the staff of the Renyuan Rescue Association shouted and persuaded, only some residents of Jiangxin Island would obey them, and for the residents who stayed in Xinyuan Jiangcheng, they would not recognize the life and death junctures. Far Rescue Association, don't run quickly now, will you be able to run away when the corpse tide catches up?

But the people in the front said there were mutants in front of them and they wanted to run back, and the people in the back said that there was a corpse tide behind them and they wanted to run forward. They bumped into a piece on both sides. Picking a direction and running, people crowded, people bumped into people, irregular and disorderly, it looked like a large number of molecules were doing Brownian motion.

Seeing the crowd surging, trampling and chaos may break out at any time, the staff of the Far Rescue Association were anxious, but they had nothing to do. In order to avoid this from happening, they have evacuated the residents in batches, but the means of transportation are limited. , fuel is limited, manpower is limited, time is limited, most people can only rely on their legs to evacuate.

It’s okay to walk in a hurry, everyone is moving in the same direction, the pace is slow to speed up, the pace is fast to slow down, it is not difficult to keep the queue tidy and uniform, but now thousands of people are running in different directions, Impossible not to crash and stampede. This chaos is like a fire falling into a weed pile. Once it is ignited, unless all the grass is burnt, it will be difficult to put out no matter what you do.

"We have to find a way, even if we can't control them running, at least we have to let them run in one direction, and we can't let them touch like headless flies, otherwise everyone will be finished!" Yuanjiao, who is responsible for maintaining order in the team, is responsible People shouted with walkie-talkies. The voices from the chaotic crowd were too noisy. Only by shouting desperately could the subordinates in different places hear them clearly.

   "There's nothing we can do, the director, those people from Xinyuanjiang don't listen to us at all! Let's just gather the residents of Jiangxin Island in the past, and if we can save one, let them go!"

   "Fuck your mother!" The person in charge yelled, and was about to teach the person who made this suggestion a lesson when he heard a voice above his head.

"stand up--"

  Empty is not like the female voice that should be in the world, coupled with the familiar melody, just two words make people feel a majestic momentum of the earth moving mountains and rivers.

   "People who don't want to be slaves—"

   When the second lyric was sung, many people in the chaotic crowd stopped and looked up at the sky.

The person in charge who was still scolding the mother just now lit up with brilliance, and in an instant he wanted to understand what he should do. He raised the walkie-talkie and shouted excitedly: "Sing the national anthem, and sing the national anthem with Lao Tzu! Follow Secretary-General Zhang's rhythm. Sing!"

   Now those people are in a mess because they don't have a backbone, they don't recognize the troops of Yuanjiao Society and 258 envoys, they have made too many personal voices, affecting themselves and constantly affecting others. If you want them to be obedient, you have to shut them all up first. The person in charge has long thought of this, but he can't think of a way to shut up everyone.

   When the national anthem was played, he slapped his palm on the forehead and suddenly became enlightened. Why shut up everyone? Instead of thinking about shutting everyone up, find a way to make everyone speak the same voice.

   In this way, not only can the spread of rumors and confusion be quickly stopped, but it can also resonate with everyone, bring people together again, remind them that unity is the most important thing, and only when everyone is united can we overcome difficulties together.

   To do this requires a unified voice that can infect others.

  Which sounds are most likely to arouse emotions and infect others? singing.

  Which song everyone must be familiar with and sing along with them in this situation?

   There is only one answer: the national anthem of the People's Republic of China, the March of the Volunteers.

   Trumpet, Trombone, Horn, Euphonium, Euphonium.

   Flute, clarinet, oboe.

   Snare drum, kick drum, cymbal.

  The sounds of eleven musical instruments sounded at the same time, forming a melodious accompaniment, and the familiar melody resounded through the sky.

   "Get up, people who don't count as slaves."

   "Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall!"

   Every member of the staff of the Far Rescue Association, regardless of whether they can sing or not, roar out the lyrics with all their strength.

   "The Chinese nation has arrived, the most dangerous moment!"

There were interceptions in the front and chasing soldiers in the back. The helpless listeners seemed to follow the singing and returned to the age of golden arms and iron horses lying on all sides. Kill a **** way.

   "Everyone is forced to make a final roar!"

More and more people began to roar, when they saw the people around them singing the same lyrics and the same melody, when they nodded to each other and stretched out their hands to help the fallen compatriots, the sound waves really came and went like waves. Passing on, setting off ripples in people's hearts.

   "Get up! Get up! Get up!"

   "We are united, brave the enemy's artillery fire, and advance!"

   "Go ahead under enemy fire!"

   "Go, go!"

  The March of the Volunteers can become the most powerful national anthem in the world. Naturally, it has its inexplicable and indescribable magic, which can make thousands of listeners excited.

   After the song ended, the evacuation team with a length of thousands of meters suddenly fell silent, and everyone's voice became a voice, which made people remember the power of unity.

   At this time, the tide of corpses chasing from behind was already very close, less than a kilometer away without the need for binoculars to see the black mass of corpses.

None of the people in the rear dared to say that they were really not afraid. If they were not afraid, they would not choose to follow and evacuate, but would pick up their guns like those real warriors and stay in Xinyuanjiang to fight against the abominable zombies and mutants. Last minute.

But even if they were afraid, they didn't lose their composure like before. Fear is contagious, and bravery is also contagious. When everyone is standing hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, the corpse tide is not so scary, not to mention the 258 division. And the troops of the Yuanjiao Society stood in front of them.

"stand up--"

   "People who are unwilling to be cowards—"

It is still the melody of the March of the Volunteers, but the lyrics have changed slightly, but this does not affect anything. As soon as Zhang Xinyi's voice sounds, the staff of the Far Rescue Association and the residents of the former Jiangxin Island will follow. The residents of Xinyuanjiang followed suit.

   "Build our flesh and blood into a new Great Wall on the far river!"

   "The compatriots in Yuanjiang have arrived, the most dangerous moment!"

   "Everyone is determined to make a final roar!"

   "Get up! Get up! Get up!"

   "We are united, brave the fangs of the enemy, and advance!"

   "Breaking the enemy's claws, advance!"

   "Forward! Forward, forward!"

   Hundreds of thousands of mighty voices condensed together, resounding throughout the world, reverberating.

   Accompanied by the unprecedented chorus of 100,000 people, the chaotic evacuation team, like a clumsy turtle, began to turn around and slowly moved towards victory and hope.

   A five-star red flag suddenly appeared in the sky, fluttering in the wind.

   Immediately after, another side, another side... Thousands of five-star red flags appeared in the air, forming a giant arrow, guiding the way for thousands of people on the ground who had lost their way.

  The song is like rolling thunder, and the flag is like a surging sea of ​​blood.

  The Second Army Headquarters, the old general who watched this scene through the drone sent back the screen stood up in awe, took off his hat and saluted.

   It is a great honor to see this scene.
