Chapter 193 Demonstration
Low pressure filled the entire Wanfu Villa area, and there was not even a trace of wind.
Irritability, depression
In the dark office, there was a smoky smell that made it hard to breathe.
Liang Yuming's eye sockets were sunken and bloodshot, his hair looked a lot whiter, and he looked extremely haggard.
Outside his office window, ordinary people were sitting in protest. Looking down from above, it was pitch black. There were at least tens of thousands of people, like a group of crows waiting to eat carrion...
All this happened because of an order from Liang Yuming - forcing adult men to participate in collecting supplies
This order almost ignited the entire gathering place's survivors. Since the end of the world, all kinds of discontent in the gathering place seemed to have found a vent at this moment...
All kinds of distorted and slanderous remarks were spread all over the gathering place.
"The internal security forces are using ordinary people as cannon fodder."
"The Internal Guard is trying to find a way to reduce the population of ordinary people and relieve the pressure on the gathering place!"
"Internal Guards, think about using ordinary people as bait!"
"The Internal Security Department has built a research institute outside and wants to use ordinary people for human experiments"
"The inner guards have found a wizard and are going to perform a sacrifice!"
"Inner Guard..."
Anyway, the rumors are more outrageous than the last, but they are particularly popular.
At this time, the survivors no longer care about the truth of the matter, they just want to vent their emotions!
So even if they know it is unreasonable, they "force" themselves to believe it is true. Otherwise, how can they express their dissatisfaction with the internal security with peace of mind? Vent their emotions?
Do you really think we are ungrateful and worse than pigs and dogs?
It was the inner guard who made the mistake first!
Contradictions are created, and with the exaggeration of those with ulterior motives, the self-righteous willingness of ordinary people is turned into a spear piercing the shield!
As for whether the chaos in the gathering place will affect them?
They don't care, and don't want to think about it, just have fun first
Some people even feel that they have become so miserable in the last days because of the suppression of the inner security, and that only chaos can complete the reshuffle of power!
In this way, with the collusion of a group of good-hearted fools, bad fools, and fools who thought they were smart, such a massive power grab by a mob began...
As a military cadre, Liang Yuming had no experience in civil affairs. Having spent most of his life in the army, all he thought about was fighting and how to fight.
The sudden outburst of public outcry caught him off guard, and he didn't know how to resolve it...
He couldn't understand why going out to collect food was a good thing for everyone, but why did it become a target of revenge?
How long can this kind of life last with tens of thousands of unproductive people sucking blood from the heads of hundreds of internal guards?
The consumption of tens of thousands of people forced the internal security to increase the frequency of field work, and the excessive frequency of field work increased the casualties of the internal security. The casualties led to a decrease in the efficiency of collecting materials, and the decrease in collection efficiency forced them to increase the frequency of field work again...
This is a vicious cycle that has depressed Liang Yuming and the entire inner guard to despair...
This time a squadron was dispatched to carry out the ammunition replenishment mission. How many people can come back?
Liang Yuming had no other choice but to force the survivors to participate in collecting supplies.
Until now he still couldn't understand why the soldiers were fighting at the front and risking their lives without frowning, so asking them to move things down seemed like asking for their lives?
Can't they see that the gathering place is on the verge of collapse, and if it collapses, everyone will be doomed?
Of course ordinary people can see it, but what does it matter?
What does two steamed buns have to do with my meal?
I go and contribute to the base, and then let others benefit?
Don't even think about it!
If we die, we die together. Don't think that I will sacrifice myself to die for you!
In places that Liang Yuming couldn't see, the atmosphere of the gathering place had long been corrupted.
His excessive equality has bred a bunch of absolutely average people. Even the degree of dedication must be consistent, otherwise there is no hope.
"Commander, the survivors outside are almost out of control. Deputy Chief of Staff Sun asks you what to do?" Captain Staff Officer Luo Cheng walked in with a muffled voice.
"The survivors have now made three requests for you to show up and talk to them!"
Harmful..
Liang Yuming sighed deeply
He stood up from his chair tremblingly. This old soldier who had been resolute for most of his life suddenly became as weak as a dead wood, like a sick tiger.
Instead of going down, he went to the window because the view here was good!
He wants to see
Look at how these people he protected behind him judged him today!
Liang Yuming smoothed his wrinkled military uniform, trying his best to make himself look more energetic.
Pushing open the door, Liang Yuming stood on the balcony
"Comrades, I am Liang Yuming!" His voice was a little hoarse because he had not drunk water for a long time.
Hearing this, the silent survivors raised their heads.
There was no longer peace and support in those eyes, but anger, questioning and criticism!
The look they gave Liang Yuming was so cold, as if they were examining an enemy, a criminal who had encroached upon their interests!
Facing these thousands of eyes that were like swords that wanted to nail him to death
Liang Yuming staggered subconsciously and was a little unsteady. Captain Luo beside him hurriedly helped him up, but was immediately pushed away by him.
Have I really committed a heinous crime?
Why are they so united in their hatred of the enemy? Why do they regard me as an enemy?
Liang Yuming's old and shriveled hands were shaking slightly. He held on to the balcony railing with all his strength and managed to steady his body.
"Commander Liang, you are really arrogant. If it weren't for the tens of thousands of survivors gathering together, ordinary people like us probably wouldn't even be able to see you, right?"
A man with triangular eyes stood up from the crowd. He was dressed very simply. Liang Yuming always had some impression of him, but the current situation did not allow him to think too much.
"Yes, these officials don't treat us as human beings!"
"Now we are united and know how to be afraid, right?"
..
There were smug sarcastic voices in the crowd, as if they were proud that this was a victory of ordinary people uniting to defeat power!
"Commander Liang, we ordinary people know that you are very busy, so I will just briefly state our demands!"
Triangle Eyes took out a loudspeaker from somewhere and read out the so-called "common demands" of ordinary people in the gathering place to Liang Yuming.
"There are three demands in total! First, the compulsory conscription order must be revoked! We want to protect our lives! Second, we demand the right to supervise the internal security forces to prevent corruption! Third, we want the right to own guns. When the end of the world comes, we have the right to defend ourselves!"
As soon as the words fell, it was like dropping a nuclear bomb on a square filled with tens of thousands of people, and the crowd instantly became excited!
"Correct!"
"We should have the right to bear arms for self-defense!"
“Mandatory conscription is against freedom!”
"Teacher Ma is right. Teacher Ma is the one who truly dares to speak up for the people! He is the one who pleads for the people!"
"I can only feel at ease if I hold the gun in my own hands!"
Two updates, adjust the status
