Chapter 218: The Collapse of Order
One thing needs to be made clear. The arrival of the Orochi is indeed the end of the world, so there are still government organizations, a fully-organized army, and Shenzhou with shelters to accommodate survivors. This is a special case among all countries in the world.
What China can do, other countries cannot do.
Therefore, after the doomsday comes, we first go through a short period of chaos. When everyone realizes that the doomsday has really come, then chaos, killing, and plunder will be the mainstream of the doomsday world.
China also has Doomsday Syndrome, and there are also crazy people who do all kinds of evil, but they are out of scale and out of climate. As long as the shelter still exists, the vast majority of people still have hope and will not actively choose to rely on robbing others to survive.
But it's different here. When the government loses its role and the army loses supervision, those who immediately choose to use guns to plunder others to survive are most likely remnant soldiers who are not productive.
The organized army was defeated by the virus and turned into stragglers. Then these soldiers, who had been trained for a long time and were supposed to protect civilians, turned their guns to attack civilians in order to survive. This was a disaster for all survivors, because there was no
People will be the opponents of these stragglers.
It is very possible that this kind of thing happened at this gas station now.
The car had stopped, everyone ate a few bites of food in a hurry, and then found a place to sleep one by one.
Everyone is almost tired of eating and sleeping in the car for a long time. Now it is a great enjoyment to have a wooden bed to stretch out and have a good sleep.
After coaxing Xinghe to get into the sleeping bag, Gao Yuan secretly climbed out of the sleeping bag, went outside the house and climbed onto the roof, where he found Zhao Qiang and Pan Xin.
Zhao Qiang looked back when he heard the voice and said, "Why don't you sleep?"
"I have something on my mind and I can't sleep. I came up to ask you for advice."
Gao Yuan took a folding chair from the car and brought it up. He opened the folding chair and sat next to Zhao Qiang, saying: "Boss Zhao, I'm not afraid of gangsters, but I want to know why you decided to camp here.
, is there any special reason?”
Zhao Qiang thought for a moment and said: "Are you questioning, or..."
"No, no, no, I'm just curious. I want to learn. If you question me, I won't wait until now. I don't have any experience, so I really want to ask you for advice."
Zhao Qiang smiled and said in a low voice: "Okay, let me tell you my reasons. First of all, I am sure that a murder and robbery occurred here, and it was probably done by soldiers. Then
It means that this country has fallen into chaos. Since it has fallen into chaos, I cannot judge where is safe and where is dangerous. In other words, anywhere may be dangerous."
"Should we first put ourselves in a situation where we are surrounded by enemies on all sides?"
"Yes, this is an occupational disease caused by me as the security director of the top leader for a long time. My habits and ideas may not apply to you."
"No, no, you continue."
Zhao Qiang continued: "Pan Xin and the others are offensive in nature, but I am defensive in nature. When I choose a place to stay, I first judge whether there is a better choice than here. If there is, then I must change places because of safety.
It is always the first priority for me. If there is no better choice than here, then choose the campsite decisively and take the time to rest." Computer version::/
Gao Yuan asked curiously: "Why not camp in a wild place? For example, in a mountain col. Then at least you don't have to worry about large-scale bandits nearby."
"For the sake of comfort, we have to make a trade-off between safety and comfort. Why do we eat and sleep in the car when we are very safe in China? When the safety situation here is bad, we have to stop and rest instead. Have you ever thought about the reason?
?”
Gao Yuan shook his head, and Pan Xin said from the side: "Yes, why?"
Zhao Qiang whispered: "Because the environment is safer at home, we can focus on the road, but when we get here, our security situation has deteriorated sharply. I must ensure that everyone can have the best physical and mental state.
to respond to various threats at any time.”
Pan Xin whispered: "What's the danger?"
"This is the border. As far as I know, there are only a small number of Kazakh border defense troops here. But further ahead, there is a place where a large number of Kazakh troops are deployed, especially a large number of troops stationed near Amaty. So today, here is where we are relatively most
It’s a safe place, tomorrow will be the real test.”
Pan Xin breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Yes, as we judged, if this country really falls into complete chaos, then the Blue Star Alliance agreement is completely meaningless. If the country is gone, who will care about anything?"
It’s an international agreement.”
Zhao Qiang said: "So I think it is necessary to take a good rest here. In fact, I should rest at home, but I underestimated the degree of chaos in this country. When the army starts to loot civilians in an organized way, then there is no order in this country."
Already."
Gao Yuan said: "You keep saying that it was soldiers who robbed this gas station, but how do you know it was soldiers?"
Zhao Qiang thought for a while and said: "I can't guarantee it, but I can basically infer that it was the soldiers who did it. The reason is too simple. We just passed the port. Where are the troops stationed? And how far is it from the port? There can't be anything before the end."
If you are a large-scale armed bandit with guns and a large-scale bandit, will you run to the border area, or will you flee from the border area inland?"
Gao Yuan said without hesitation: "Then he must have gone to a place with more people and supplies."
Zhao Qiang sighed: "That's right. In this case, think about who else can bring a gun and loot this place calmly, not sparing any useful things, and then taking away the corpses."
Disposed of, I say this because I want to give you a comprehensive explanation. In fact, just by looking at the way the corpses were disposed of, you can tell that it was done by soldiers."
Pan Xin whispered: "Gao Yuan, in fact, the simplest basis for judgment is the corpse. If it is a gangster, they will not care about the corpse after beating the person to death, but soldiers are different. They will try to cover up their crimes."
Zhao Qiang said: "Look at the time, in the early stage, soldiers will do many things out of inertia, but in the later stage, after complete despair, no matter they are soldiers or gangsters, they will be equally unscrupulous."
Gao Yuan really understood. He whispered: "Thank you for looking for me, boss. Thank you, Brother Pan. I understand. So, boss Zhao, do you think there are still gangsters around here? Will they attack us?"
Zhao Qiang whispered: "It's impossible to judge accurately. I don't think there are large-scale bandits here for a long time. Because they lack enough survival materials, they can only move to more densely populated areas. Unless the bandits here are very small, even if the supplies are
Scarcity can also keep them going for a long time.”
