- Section 13 Transportation ()
All roads leading out of the city are closed. Except for the various deployment vehicles transporting civilians and military trucks carrying supplies, there is no extraneous thing on the back and forth passage of the entire line.
Tens of thousands of cars crowded in front of the entrance of the highway, forming a long queue stretching for tens of kilometers. The vast majority of them are private cars, such as Xiali, Mercedes-Benz, Chery, Chevrolet almost all car brands in the world can find corresponding symbols here.
Emergency evacuation is different from moving. On the premise of saving life, everything can be given up. According to the order issued by the military region, all citizens must evacuate the city within a month to minimize the impact of the spread of the virus.
In order to ensure the smooth flow of transportation routes, the transportation department and military police blocked the entire road. All kinds of civilian vehicles are prohibited from leaving the city, and evacuated civilians are also transported by special passenger vehicles. Areas such as railway stations and airports have also been taken over by the military. Important supplies and special national property will be transferred from these places and transported to safer rear areas as soon as possible.
The riots started on the highway.
Private car owners refused to board the buses with a huge capacity. They were so excited that they crowded in front of the toll station and argued with the staff responsible for maintaining order.
"Didn't the government ask us to evacuate? Why didn't they let us go?"
"As long as there is good order, how can it be possible to block the road?"
¡°It¡¯s not against the rules for us to drive away by ourselves. Besides, it can also reduce the burden on the government to allocate transportation capacity. Why not?¡±
The discussion of the seven mouths, the anger's struggle, the instructions of the scriptures More and more car owners gathered over to block all the channels of the toll station.
"Please be quiet, everyone, get back to your cars, get out of the way, and let the passenger convoy behind you pass first -"
As an important thoroughfare in and out of Chengdu, there are a considerable number of personnel on duty at the toll station all year round. In addition, this is a special period, and nearly a hundred police officers have been temporarily deployed. But facing thousands of private car owners, they still feel powerless. The exhausted police officers could only persuade them with earnest words to make the vehicles blocking the road move in one direction as much as possible to make enough space for the large buses carrying civilians.
"If you don't let us go, we won't give way either."
"How can you let me go? Come out and see for yourselves where the traffic is blocked."
¡°We¡¯re not allowed to leave in front, and we¡¯re not allowed to go back from behind. What can we do?¡±
The spacious road that can accommodate three cars in parallel has been squeezed into a traffic flow of steel. The long-term congestion made all the drivers feel upset and angry. They pressed the horns on the steering wheels one after another. The harsh sound of car horns and countless curses mixed together to become a powerful urging. Maybe you are inspired by this powerful support! A few brave car owners even picked up the steel triangular isolation barrier in the middle of the road and threw it aside, trying to force their way through. After being discovered by the patrolman nearby, what was originally just a verbal dispute between the two parties quickly turned into a fierce fist fight.
There is no definite evidence as to who made the first move. Foul-mouthed accusations will always make anger rise to the extreme in an instant. The pleasure brought by punching the opponent's flesh makes the perpetrator want to use more powerful weapons to show his power. Accompanied by crazy and hysterical shouting, full mineral water bottles, slender directional chains, and heavy rubber batons were waved high and fell heavily among the crowd. Blood splattered everywhere, the screams of the injured, and the crowded crowd. Occasionally, the crowd would emit bursts of eardrum-piercing screams.
"Dad, don't fight, please don't fight -" A little girl who was squeezed and fell to the ground, her tender face covered with plaster marks, looked at the chaotic crowd and cried helplessly.
¡°Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, speak up!¡± A road toll collector with blood on his face was half lying on the ground, holding his seriously injured companion who was beaten into a coma in his arms and screamed for help.
"Quick! Call the headquarters for help -" the traffic police captain who was rushing at the front had just finished saying this when he was hit by a chain thrown from the opposite side. Half of his ear was cut off on the spot. He clutched the wound and screamed as he was crowded. The crowd drowned
None of them are wrong.
In order to maintain order, the police ensured the safe and rapid transfer of all civilians.
In order to protect their own interests, who would be willing to abandon the car they spent their savings to buy?
When order and interests collide, the intensification of contradictions is inevitable.
"boom¡ª¡ª"
The harsh gunshots shocked the chaotic crowd, and the people who were fighting to the death stopped one after another.During the movement, he stared blankly at the sky above his head.
A "Nighthawk II" was slowly falling from there. The noise caused by the roar of the engine and the violent air mass caused by the rapidly rotating propeller brought them back to reality after being lost in violence and blood.
Lin Xiang, with a solemn expression, straightened his helmet, jumped out of the cabin, and walked quickly towards the crowd that had been divided into two sides.
Behind him, more than a dozen heavily armed soldiers quickly formed a defense line and controlled the various entrances in front of the toll station.
"What's going on? Why can't the road be cleared? The passenger convoy can't be released even now?"
"Theywe" Facing the young officer's rebuke, the dying traffic police captain found it difficult to even speak.
"Carry the seriously injured people onto the plane and evacuate everyone immediately." Looking at the slightly frightened car owners, Lin Xiang raised his eyebrows: "I'll give you ten minutes to drive your vehicles to the side of the road and park them in order. Get out of the way as soon as possible. Let the passenger convoy pass.¡±
"Why? Who the hell are you?"
A short, stocky man with a sinewy face, wearing a dark red shirt and a thick gold chain hanging around his neck, shouted while carrying a steering wheel chain that was still dripping blood: "If we can't get through, then no one can leave. The big deal is If we die here together, who is afraid of whom?"
"Copy them up¡ª¡ª"
Lin Xiang didn¡¯t even look at him and waved directly to the soldiers behind him. During the brief scuffle and yelling, the man's hands were locked tightly and hung on the strong iron fence next to the toll station, unable to move at all.
"A passenger bus can hold hundreds of people, and a car can only hold a few people. Anyone can understand the difference. Yes, the road ahead is indeed smooth, without any traffic obstructions. But suddenly there are hundreds of thousands of vehicles What will be the consequences? Once this road is blocked, where can you escape?"
"What should we do with our car? Who knows what will happen if we park it here? Who will be responsible for damage or collision?" A fashionable female car owner wearing a short skirt asked reluctantly.
"The government has its own arrangements. If everyone acts according to their own will, what should others do? Don't forget, there are more than 10 million residents in Chengdu. Disorderly fighting will only lead to It will bring you more trouble." Lin Xiang explained patiently.
"Government? Huh! We don't believe in any damn government at all. How long has it been before the government still cares about us? Where are those officials? They are probably the first batch of evacuees to be given priority -"
It wasn¡¯t just the female car owner who gritted her teeth, everyone standing behind her expressed indignant approval and agreement in unison.
Is this a citizen of the Republic?
Lin Xiang stopped talking and sighed secretly in his heart. He slung the assault rifle on his shoulder and walked towards the crowded crowd.
"You, what do you want to do?"
Seeing the other party getting closer and closer, the woman seemed a little panicked. She shrank back and hid in the crowd. Due to being too nervous, one of her expensive "Chanel" high heels also fell off. The rough ground made her white and tender toes ache for a while, and added a few wrinkled skin lines on her face that had been smeared with too much makeup.
Going around the gap between cars and approaching the roadside amidst people's hostile and wary eyes, Lin Xiang knelt down and picked up a crying little girl who had been pushed to the ground due to crowding. He lifted up his sleeves with his fingers and lovingly wiped the dirt off her face, took out a piece of army-issued chocolate wrapped in tin foil and stuffed it into her pocket. She turned around and looked coldly at the car owners crowding behind her.
"The sooner you get out of the way, the safer you will be. Think about the children How long do you want to remain in a stalemate? People can't be too selfish."
No one blamed, no one refuted. The expressions that appear on people's faces are just silent thoughts
When the girl¡¯s parents, who were full of surprise, found this place, the crowded traffic had already shown some signs of loosening up. People began to spontaneously maintain order at the scene, and the vehicles that were rushing forward were asked to move away one by one. The car owners who had already pulled to the roadside also locked their doors, took away their personal belongings, and reluctantly took one last look at their beloved car. , turned around and ran towards the passenger convoy in the distance.
There is an invisible balance in everyone's heart.
When the angry weight bends the scale, human beings are the most brutal beasts. As long as they increase the weight of reason, they will become members of the civilized world again.
The Chinese people are lovely, simple and honest. They are just not very good at expressing their feelings, and social injustice leaves them nowhere to vent their inner anger. In fact, justWith a little bit of understanding and tolerance, they will put themselves in others' shoes and perform touching acts of kindness
The impassable roads have once again given way to enough space. The highly nervous police and soldiers finally let go of their high spirits. They quickly cleared the obstacles on the road and dragged away the heavy steel barriers More than ten minutes later, under the guidance of the signals and communicators that had been set up, the first bus full of civilians emerged from the spacious The crossing whizzed by.
"Beep-beep¡ª¡ªbeep¡ª¡ª"
Just as the passenger convoy was passing by, a luxury black Audi sedan with a "Sichuan oxxxxxx" license plate also rushed over from the end of the road like lightning. It flexibly bypassed the passenger cars that were moving in sequence and frequently passed in the gaps between the vehicles. If it were not frightened by the machine guns placed by the soldiers in front of the toll booth, it would not have stopped at all.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Lin Xiang stepped forward, slightly bent his fingers and knocked heavily on the car window covered with black film.
"What are you knocking on? Get out of the way -" The electronically controlled window in front of the driver's seat slowly dropped, revealing a young and arrogant face.
"According to the order of the Military Region Headquarters, all civilian vehicles are not allowed to enter the highway without permission and under any excuse. You have violated the regulations, please pull the car over and accept inspection."
"Look clearly, this is a government vehicle." The man driving the car frowned and glanced at him, pointed at the license plate starting with the word "o" and said impatiently: "Get out of the way, we are in a hurry."
"No one can enter the highway without a pass." Lin Xiang didn't talk nonsense to him and waved behind him. Several heavily armed soldiers rushed forward immediately, holding up the assault rifles in their hands and aiming at the man. head.
The feeling of being targeted by a gun is uncomfortable. The arrogant expression on the man's face instantly froze, and his left hand stretched out from the car window trembled unconsciously.
At this time, a slightly fat middle-aged man wearing a blue-gray tunic suit opened the back door of the carriage and walked out.
"What's going on? Why did you stop my car?"
"Do you have a pass?" Lin Xiang, with a cold face, glanced at the watch on his wrist and calculated the time the passenger convoy was delayed.
"I am the secretary of the management committee of the Airport Logistics Development Zone. I don't need a pass when I go out to perform official duties." The middle-aged man felt embarrassed, put his left hand on his waist, frowned slightly, and accused with a majestic expression: "Immediately Move out of the way, I have to pass first."
"Xiao Zhang, move this car to the side and make way for the convoy to pass." The anxious Lin Xiang ignored the argument and called on the soldiers around him to drag the man in the driver's seat away.
"You, you are acting lawless. Who is your superior? I, I want to complain to you¡ª¡ª"
The angry middle-aged man stomped his feet vigorously, perhaps because he felt that his official power had no effect at all. With red eyes, he quickly got into the cab, pulled out the keys on the steering wheel and held them tightly in his hands, then looked smug. He stood aside, snorting contemptuously from his nostrils.
Seeing this, Lin Xiang didn't say much. He directly opened the car door, "invited" another lady in the back seat, and in front of everyone, he called to the more than ten soldiers and police present, and together they pushed the vacant Audi car off the roadbed.
"you you you¡¡"
The fat middle-aged man stared blankly at the overturned luxury car on the side of the road, unable to say a word for a long time.
Behind him, the restarted passenger convoy started the engine again and roared away towards the clear highway. - Didn't finish reading?
