Darkness is Coming

   A few kilometers apart, people on the way to evacuate could still clearly see the explosion cloud rising from the rear. After bursts of dazzling light, the black and red land was completely cracked and flew into the air and rolled along with the smoke and dust.

  Heat waves and strong winds blow over, and the sea of ​​people surging on the provincial road gradually solidifies. They know that there is no need to escape anymore.

The formation of fighter jets flying from outside the city roared and flew overhead, piercing the sky like rolling thunder, leaving scratches on the gray sky, followed by a seemingly slow but unimaginably fast white track appeared, and the missile appeared. With a high-pitched whistle that ripped through the air, it slammed into the mutants that spread their wings and glide through the air.

   Several flames exploded in the air, emitting strong light and scorching the wings of the mutant, and the split shrapnel cut the surrounding mutants into pieces.

   The bat-wing variant that followed behind was like a swarm of flies that had been disturbed by the feces, scattered and fled everywhere. The fighter then stretched and continued to chase.

  Compared with the active fighter jets piloted by the Air Force pilots, the mutants move clumsily like a fledgling bird that has just learned to fly, and is torn apart by the hunting eagles before they can escape a few steps.

After    hunted all the prey in the air, the fighter formation did not leave the field immediately, but lowered the altitude and continued to fly. At this time, they had already flown above the corpse tide.

Suddenly, the formation of fighter planes suddenly rose, not because the pilots performed the lifting operation, but because of the loss of nearly a ton of load-the aerial bombs mounted on the wings of each fighter plane fell silently and began to do free fall. , Unlike the screeching and piercing missiles before, these heavy bombs did not make much noise when they fell to the ground at high speed. This is a cluster bomb, that is, it makes all the army's discoloration when they hear it. International conventions prohibit research and development, Submunitions produced and used.

   The number of sub-bombs of a cluster bomb can range from a few to hundreds. However, after many sub-bombs in the cluster bomb are scattered around, 10% to 30% of the sub-bombs will not explode immediately, but will explode when touched, and their lethality is comparable to that of anti-infantry mines.

   This makes the use of a cluster bomb a serious consequence: it will pose a huge threat to those within the bombing range for several years after it explodes. No one would have believed that the army of the People's Republic of China would drop cluster bombs on their own soil if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

Before touching the ground, the aircraft bombs disintegrated in the air, shattered into countless bullets, and fell to the ground in an instant, as if an active volcano group erupted into a piece, raising a fascinating and magnificent fire cloud, and then A rain of flames drenched the tide of corpses.

  Seven helicopters lowered their noses and flew to the end of the evacuation team. The roar of the high-speed rotation of the propellers was far less than the sound of the firing of the cannons loaded under the wings.

   "Whoosh, whoosh" The dense lines of fire crossed into a firepower net, smashing the mutants and zombies that emerged from the sea of ​​fire.

  The tide of corpses that the anti-corpse coalition paid a heavy price to intercept will be wiped out in the blink of an eye in front of the modern army with complete equipment and logistics, and the ground units have not even had time to participate in the battle, the battle is over.

   "Dear compatriots in Yuanjiang, we are the transport regiment of the 161st Division of the Second Army, and we are instructed to **** you to a safe evacuation."

   Teams of towering armored vehicles, personnel carriers, and large trucks drove over, and non-standard Mandarin with a slight Jiangbei accent blared from the loudspeakers, making people feel more cordial.

   "Compatriots, we have come to take you home, you are safe!"

Going home, it’s safe, these are such touching words. For the poor people who are trapped in the dome for more than 200 days and nights, the most urgent desire in their hearts is the warmth and safety of home. At the long-lost dawn, the long-awaited hope will be realized, and you will be so excited that you can't help yourself! The head of the transportation group was so emotional.

   But the solidified crowd did not boil, as if there was no temperature coming from the splendid sea of ​​fire burning there, it was still cold and silent, like an arctic glacier.

All the officers and soldiers of the    transport regiment stared blankly at this group of people who had just escaped from hell. They were like very lifelike and terrifying sculptures, standing motionless one by one, watching the rear silently, without making the slightest sound of cheering.

  Thousands of people were collectively silent, maintaining the same solemn expression, as if they were attending the funeral of a great man.

   This bizarre scene in front of him made the transportation regiment leader shudder, as if he had sensed the terrifying cold that these people brought back from **** in his soul, and he forgot what he should do, and he could not remember how to do it.

   One minute has passed, five minutes have passed, ten minutes have passed, except that the wind occasionally blows dust and meat foam on the ground, everything on this scorched yellow land remains the same.

The leader of the transportation group gradually lost his patience. After all, this is not a good place to stay. Not to mention the unimaginably strong smell of gunpowder smoke and the stench of burning meat fat, who knows if there will be zombies or something else. Mess is showing up nearby? The soldiers of their 161st Division are not afraid of fighting, but they also do not appreciate unnecessary sacrifices. Now they should seize the time to evacuate the surviving people from the far river to a safe area.

   The head of the transportation group was about to order the organization to evacuate, but he heard a sound from the silent sea of ​​people, and the stone statues turned back into people.

"Look!"

   "Look over there!"

Similar words spread like waves in the sea of ​​people, and bounce back when they touch the edge. Everyone inside is repeating the words, even if they have heard it many times, even if others have heard it many times, they are still happy to repeat it. , as if there was some kind of magic in this simple utterance.

  The officers and soldiers of the transport regiment raised their heads and looked in the direction the crowd was staring at. There, a black line appeared on the horizon, and then the black line waved and spread, looking like another team.

   "Telescope!" The head of the transport regiment said nervously to the orderly. He knew the situation. There was a wall in that direction, and there were hundreds of thousands of zombies gathered outside. Who knows if that round of combined sea and air bombing can completely wipe out hundreds of thousands of zombies? What if there is a corpse tide approaching in this direction? If the transport group fails to evacuate the people in time, disappears in the dome, and the People's Guard forces the people to be mutilated by monsters after entering the city, the impact will be too bad, who can afford this responsibility?

   Holding the binoculars handed over by the orderly in front of him, the transport regiment commander was stunned, and he saw an army.

   What kind of army is that? The inspector of the transportation regiment who joined the army for many years and never personally went to the battlefield could not imagine or describe the shock that the team he saw brought him.

   Hundreds of people dressed in black walked at the forefront. They marched in silence. Although they did not adjust their steps deliberately, their steps were neat and consistent. They could not see the seriousness and solemnity on their faces, nor did they see the flukes and secret joys of surviving after the war. If you have to explain the expressions on their faces, it is probably a kind of indifference and relief that outsiders cannot understand.

Thousands of soldiers in the uniforms of the People's Guard of the People's Guard followed the hundreds of people in black, following the standard steps of an honor guard. Although the uniforms were covered in blood, they could not see too many wrinkles. During these difficult years, they were also taken care of by their owners.

   In the back, some people wear leather mattresses, some people wear down jackets, some people wear sports clothes, there are men and women, the older ones are gray and white, and the younger ones look only fourteen or fifteen years old. They looked like civilians, but they were all carrying guns, and the chilling air emanating from their actions was startling.

  Behind them, blood-stained red flags fluttered.

   When he saw such a team marching towards him, the transport regiment leader clenched the binoculars in his hand, but the boss couldn't remember to breathe with his mouth and nose open.
