Chapter 343 Where there is light, miracles happen!
The sun sets, the world turns dark, the inky black dome is dotted with stars like diamonds, and the surroundings are bleak...
The convoy of the Third Combined Battalion, which stretched for thousands of meters, came from the east and slowly stopped in front of the ancient city of Chongyi. The bright lights and the magnificent view gathered like a long dragon, which was spectacular!
The dragon of light formed by the lights hit the blue-gray city wall of Chongyi Ancient City, and the light and shadow dissipated, illuminating the sky on the east side!
For a moment, the magnificent sight of the east being bright while the west was dark quickly attracted the attention of the survivors of the Chongyi Ancient City!
Inside the castle
In a simple shack built with waterproof cloth and wooden sticks, a little boy who had just cried for a while and finally been coaxed to sleep suddenly sat up and shouted in a surprised tone:
"Mom, there is light!"
"Light?"
The dishevelled woman had her back to the door curtain of the shack. She thought her son was dreaming because he was hungry, so she kept trying to comfort him:
“Yes, yes, yes! There is light! There is light! Go to sleep, baby. You won’t feel uncomfortable when you fall asleep. There is also Ultraman!”
The woman carefully comforted her son, hoping that he would fall asleep soon. His crying had already made the surrounding "neighbors" very dissatisfied, and they had reminded him several times...
Everyone has a hard time, and people are always hot-tempered. As a woman, I'm afraid it will be very embarrassing if I start to make a scene...
When the woman thought of that scene, she was panicked, but she couldn't blame her son. How could such a young child endure hunger?
After all, it's because I'm incompetent. If I get criticized, I deserve it.
Just when the woman was feeling sad, the little boy spoke again.
"Mom, look! Look! There's light!"
Feeling her clothes being shaken, the woman, whose mind was full of thoughts on how to coax her son to sleep and not offend her "neighbors", turned her head perfunctorily and looked towards the east.
But when I turned around, I was stunned...
Light!
Really light!
How long has it been since you saw such a bright light?
Three months? Half a year? One year? Ten years? Or a lifetime? ?
Looking at the light in the east that almost illuminated half the sky, the woman's nose felt sore and hot tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes!
The apocalypse has lasted so long that we have become accustomed to darkness, and even think that it is supposed to be this way...
It seems that I have forgotten that I also came from that bright and upright era...
Thinking of this, the woman hugged her son in her arms, buried her face, and sobbed!
I can see the light, but my son is still so young, he will have to live in darkness all his life...
Woooooooo~
Seeing this, the little boy couldn't help crying!
He was ignorant and didn’t know why his mother was crying, but when he saw her crying, he wanted to cry too!
No one paid attention to the mother and son crying and hugging each other, because the halo of light in the east had gradually attracted the attention of all the survivors in the Chongyi gathering place.
.......
Light!
This is not just any light! It is the light of the last days!
In the pitch-black ancient city of Chongyi, hundreds of thousands of survivors spontaneously walked out of their shacks, forming a black mass, standing in the streets and alleys, as thick as ink!
Look up, search, concentrate, and pay attention!
Hundreds of thousands of people are looking towards the East, with excitement, confusion, remembrance, emotion and other emotions intertwined into expectations!
Will there be changes for the better?
can you?
What they have experienced since the end of the world tells them that it won’t happen!
Zombies, mutants, diseases, hunger...
It seems that death and waiting for death are the main themes of the end of the world. A large number of them have already accepted their fate, and many are passively waiting to die....
but....
But that is light, that is light!
Where there is light, miracles happen!!
Soon, the prayers of three hundred thousand people were answered, but it was not the illusory heaven that responded to them, but the staff in the gathering place!
“The army is coming!!!”
One stone stirs up a thousand waves...
"The army is coming..."
"The army is coming?"
"The army is coming?!!"
“The Army is coming!!!!!!!!!”
The news of the army's arrival was like a meteorite hitting the lake, quickly causing an uproar among the survivors!
"What the hell! Is this true? The army? Really the army? Not the crappy garrison in the gathering place?"
"It's really the army! It really is! The grandson of the uncle of my wife's grandfather's cousin's son is working in the garrison. He just came to inform us in person! It's absolutely accurate!"
"The army will be entering the city soon. I heard they have hundreds of pieces of equipment! Tanks, cannons, everything!"
Some survivors explained excitedly, fearing that others would not believe them!
When you speak to others, aren't you also speaking to yourself?
"We are organizing the relocation of the shacks on Chongyi Ancient Road! The army will have to pass through there later! It is said that they will be stationed in our Chongyi gathering place for a long time in the future!"
"The army is here to protect us!!!"
"Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit!"
A survivor shouted repeatedly with a red face!
I wanted to say something to express my excitement, but after thinking for a while, I found that only "I'm so excited" is the most lyrical! "
"Won't we be able to see the army if we go to Chongyi Avenue?!"
"I told you that you are smart since you were young!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Let's go together!"
As he spoke, the stagnant water began to flow and vitality was reviving!
The survivors spontaneously rushed towards Chongyi Avenue, wanting to catch a glimpse of the army as soon as possible!
...
As soon as they received the news, Zhang Zhishun and other senior leaders in the gathering place immediately ended their meetings and drove to the East Gate, just to welcome the army as quickly as possible and show enough sincerity!
Sitting in the black SUV, Zhang Zhishun, who had been an official for decades and had never shown his emotions, couldn't help but smile brightly as if he was relieved!
"Old Zhou! Old Zhou! You really are good at giving me surprises!"
"I haven't heard from you for so long, I thought you were dead, but I didn't expect you would actually make it happen!"
"Now the gathering place can be worry-free!!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhishun breathed a long sigh of relief, as if a mountain that had been weighing on his heart for a long time had finally been removed.
Even the survivors who were ferociously showing their fangs and claws outside the car window became cute in his eyes.
Many people in the gathering place were not optimistic about Zhou Yu going to the provincial capital to seek help.
Those who can sit in this position are all people who have been in the Night Province for many years. Many things that ordinary people don’t know are not secrets at all in their circle.
The lack of military preparedness in Ye Province is a secret known to the entire province. Even ordinary people know about it, but they just don’t understand or care about it.
After all, in a prosperous era, things like force are neither relevant nor too far away for ordinary people. They may only be mentioned a few times when bragging after drinking.
Zhang Zhishun was able to overcome the opposition and agree to this plan purely out of his natural courage. He felt that he had no other choice but to take a gamble, but he really didn't hold out much hope.
Even the ten crystal energy warriors were given by Zhang Zhishun under pressure from other management.
In his opinion, no matter success or failure, since he has decided to do it, he should do it to the end!
Whether you do it or not, you are petty-minded and afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. It's better not to do it!
It is precisely because of this that many people have privately resented him in recent times, blaming him for the unrest in the gathering place.
They believed that it was because of his willful behavior and the withdrawal of so many military forces from the gathering place that the situation in the gathering place deteriorated and became precarious!
He just pretended not to hear it, because he was used to it....
In the system, no one's advancement comes from having good relationships with subordinates...
Leaders who can be praised by their subordinates are probably not good leaders. At least for ordinary people, they are unlikely to be qualified...
Without sufficient experience and understanding, most ordinary people cannot figure this out on their own...
