Chapter 807: 2. The 17 Moments in Spring (13)

If you ask Roland: What is the most impressive thing about life in Alfheim. ※% top ※% point ※% small ※% said that apart from high-rise buildings, high technology, a variety of laws and regulations, uniforms on the streets, and racial discrimination, he was most impressed by the frequency of nearly unusual refuge Trained.
Not only does Yalfheim have world-class technology and military power, but its civil defense system is also ahead of the times. Other countries can say that there is no concept of "civil defense".
The so-called civil defense is short for civil protection. It is the government's activities to mobilize and organize the masses to take measures against air strikes, disaster relief and relief, implement rescue operations, and prevent and mitigate disasters. Wartime is a part of the overall war, and it also has the functions of disaster prevention and harm reduction. The civil defense completeness of Yalfheim can be reflected in the legal provisions: The Civil Defense Law clearly stipulates that all buildings must be equipped with underground bunkers, generators, air filtration devices, fire extinguishing devices and thermal insulation , Can fully resist the attacks of air raids, poisonous gas, flooding, and incendiary bombs. It is necessary to build air defense towers equipped with large-caliber anti-aircraft guns in important neighborhoods; each community takes 10 to 20 families as a unit to form a mutual aid association for residents. Residents must remember Large civil defense facilities and refuges near work units and residences, and are obliged to participate in refuge training unconditionally.
Therefore, no matter it is a working day or a holiday, whether it is during class or during a meal, Alfheim will suddenly sound a burst of air defense alarms from time to time. Residents wear gas masks and fire barriers at the fastest speed Warm clothing, carry a refuge backpack, divided by community, unit, school, etc., under the guidance of relevant staff, start an orderly queue to enter the civil defense facility...
At that time, I only felt numb and tired of this too frequent acting. Later, as my age and experience increased, I gradually realized that it was a precautionary move made under special national conditions and systems. Now, it seems that even if it is not the kind of all-day The quasi-wartime system ready for war and the paranoid security concept of the elves who were almost killed by delusions. Aiming to withstand the impact of incendiary bomb scrubbing or mushroom-growing, if you can master basic refuge common sense and have community grassroots organizations such as neighborhood mutual aid associations to assist in mediation, at least there will be no such urgent need for retreat now. The embarrassment of being unable to move at a critical moment.
"Except for the necessary food and water, don't put anything in the carriage! Parents take care of the children, and young and strong men wait for the next carriage. Let women, children, and the elderly get on the first carriage! Everyone can get on the carriage. Come one by one, don't squeeze!"
Roland yelled with a loudspeaker made of iron sheet, no matter how he shouted exhaustedly, the villagers carrying, carrying and carrying large and small luggage still made a mess. The quarrel and roar of men, the wailing of women and children, and the weeping of the old man were all in a mess.
In the event of a sudden disaster, it is natural for people to take what they can take away as much as possible. But considering refuge, this is no sensible move. In case of fire, it is to rescue property. This is true for those who killed the fire; when the shipwreck was desperate to take the heavy luggage to the lifeboat, causing the boat to capsize and be buried in the fish belly; as the mob was around, it was a waste of time to organize the luggage, and the villagers who were too heavy to make the carriage unable to move .
"Really...can't understand human beings."
Sui Tuo is still noisy villagers, the spider sighed.
People will always die, and sooner or later they will visit everyone equally. So, what is the significance of life-extending behavior? If you really do your best to live. Why do you want to conduct behaviors whose results and purpose are completely contrary?
Don't get it.
Nonetheless, the spider knows what to do in this situation.
It is necessary to silence the chaotic masses in the shortest time. The simplest and most effective way to obey the command is to kill. Kill one or two of the leading or noisiest, and the rest will naturally be obedient like a chicken.
A strong man, a noisy woman, a crying child, and an old man struggling to move.
After carefully selecting the target. Spreading his fingers, the spider silk enough to cut the bones is ready to go.
"Everyone listens well! I have a special order signed by the Governor, which can act cheaply in an emergency. According to the authority given by the order, the local finance of the Special Administrative Region can be allocated to compensate the residents! Get three times the compensation!"
The scene was silent. Everyone stared at the paper held high. Five seconds later, the man on the carriage screamed and threw the goods off the carriage, as if discarding garbage. It was completely unimaginable how these things were carefully moved up five minutes ago.
"This time it will probably be scolded by the people in the Finance Department..."
Seeing the flow of people greatly speeding up the retreat, Roland wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, and a bit of wry smile appeared on his face.
The establishment of the SAR is only half a year away. Despite the support provided by the consortium and the Charlemagne government, coupled with the optimization of infrastructure and various preferential policies for investment attraction, the SAR’s business activities are prosperous and the financial situation is not bad. But all of a sudden I have to undertake the reconstruction work of Tars, and I have to pay extra compensation for the loss of personal property of the villagers, and it is still three times... No matter how obedient the accountant of the Finance Department is usually, after seeing the bill, I will definitely His eyes were red, and he rushed to strangle Roland at three times the speed.
"Don't worry about it."
The Minerva socket on the side said:
"Leave the lord who fled alone, the Titans who were seriously dysfunctional before and during the incident-someone will always pay for their stupidity, and if a little compensation can be settled, I believe they will be happy to pay. "
There are still many points in this speech that are debatable, but there is nothing wrong with the argument and there is nothing irrefutable to others.
"Then it is so settled."
Roland smiled and nodded in response. Minerva thought and asked:
"So why didn't you disclose your identity just now? The governor's identity is obviously more deterrent than the fictitious order, and it will be more beneficial to the subsequent retreat command."
"If you really say that I am the governor, I am afraid the scene will be even more chaotic."
People who are at a loss in chaos will seize even a glimmer of hope regardless of the situation. Under the influence of herd mentality, this behavior will become more intense. Conversely, if someone questions this line of hope with strong, seemingly irrefutable doubts, the indecisive crowd is likely to prefer to maintain the status quo rather than choose a second option that looks dangerous.
"I have previously appeared in public as the commander of the second-level commando with a secret mission. Most people in the village know this. Now tell them that I am actually the Governor of the Special Administrative Region, and no one can prove it. In my identity, mutual suspicion with each other, they will not only accept, but also doubt whether I am a liar who has no plans. In comparison, adding a seeming ability to the existing information Justify the message. It's easier for them to accept."
This already belongs to the category of psychological warfare, as smart as Minerva also took a moment to digest and understand, secretly breathed out in his heart.
(Only this aspect is fully qualified, whether it is smart or unfortunate...)
Minerva has not yet known the true relationship between the consortium and Alfheim, but only regards the consortium as an important partner of Alfheim, and Li Lin’s true identity, but this does not affect her relationship with Li. Lin's judgment.
Cunning, cruel, cruel, arrogant, hypocritical, and at the same time having the ability, scheming, and wrist, it is really suitable for those who command the consortium.
From the standpoint of Charlemagne. Never want to have a strong consortium leader after Li Lin, not even the concubine. But in the current delicate situation, the future president of the consortium is too cowardly and will also be troublesome. Fortunately, Roland's performance over the past six months is enough to prove that he is indeed a candidate that meets everyone's expectations-excellent coordination and organizational skills, creative and feasible ideas, the most important thing is good popularity, unlike Li Lin's high-pressure gesture.
This should be good news for those who are fed up with all kinds of domineering styles of the consortium. Minerva does not hate this. But... somehow she felt faintly. This may not be a good thing, but she can't tell where it is bad. Suppress anxiety and doubt. Minerva turned his attention back to the retreating villagers.
Stimulated by the will to survive and high compensation, the progress has been greatly improved, and the first carriage is ready to go, ready to go. But at this juncture, the soldier responsible for counting the number of people asked:
"Strange... how come there seem to be fewer people?"
Roland slightly frowned at him.
########
Money is enough for people to obey obediently, and they can save lives at critical moments.
But after all. Money is just money, not an omnipotent god, and naturally has its limits. People can leave their cautiously guarded property for a huge amount of compensation, and no matter how sincere they say, there is enough evidence. Never change your attitude, even if you stand in front of your eyes and stand alone.
For example, a family who insists on fleeing alone when the village is in chaos.
Men use farming horses to pull horse-drawn carriages, carrying all the property they can take away, a 32-year-old wife and a 15-year-old daughter, preparing to leave the village along the inaccessible trail.
This road was accidentally discovered by the head of the family. It seems to be a path dedicated to illegal merchants, and he has almost forgotten it. I never imagined that this critical moment, this trail that was once considered dangerous, would actually play a role in this form.
The man didn’t believe what the teenager said. The age actually had a higher status than the lord. It was a very suspicious thing in itself. As for the "special order"... no one had seen it, no way. How can you believe something that really does matter? In the end, even if what he said was really good, what reason did the Titans officers rescue the Castilians like pigs and dogs in their eyes? There must be an unknown conspiracy. It may be that they intend to seal them up to cover up what is happening in the village, or they may intend to deceive them to sell them to slave merchants and make a big profit.
Once doubts and imaginations arise, they will develop in a direction that is difficult to control, and eventually become paranoid. Coupled with the man’s small abacus,
Even if everything is true, all family property will be taken away and hidden, and the compensation can still be received
, he and his wife finally decided to escape alone.
They simply chose a path of no return for themselves in this way, and the process did not exceed 10 minutes.
In general, retreat should be towards migratory herbivores-such as bison and zebras, acting in groups, although there are also risks, but the chance of survival is relatively high. Traveling alone like this, the risk is much higher.
Thieves, thugs, soldiers of Titans, dangerous species, and-beasts disguised as adults.
"That's... the bartender at the hotel, Marlowe?"
The man murmured suspiciously. In his spare time, he occasionally went to the hotel bar for a drink. He was familiar with the bartender who liked to talk about low-level meat. He recognized at a glance that the shaky figure in the alley was Bartender Malo. Scobar.
Is this guy drunk?
In doubt, the man got out of the carriage and leaned forward carefully. One hand reached behind his back and clutched the dagger tightly around his waist. A groaning voice floated over him.
"So hungry..."
"Hey, Marlow, what's wrong with you?"
"My stomach is going to be hungry...!!!"
This is the last sentence the man heard. Before he could understand the meaning of the sentence, the scenery in front of him changed dramatically.
Originally reflected in the pupils of the alley and the bartender, a body without a head was spurting blood from the broken neck, and the wife and daughter screamed with a frightened expression.
What's wrong--
The mouths that couldn't make a sound fit together, and the whole head was shattered together the next second.
The bartender who loves to tell low-level jokes is gone. Standing in front of the two women is an alien that does not match any biological form known.
The body is similar to human beings, and walks upright like humans, but the hands and feet are divided into many sections. Even at a distance, you can see the muscle bundles delivered reaching the skin to bulge. The whole face split like a blooming flower, the inside of the "petal" is covered with teeth, the scalp and eyeballs of the male host are hung on the dense teeth, and the "faceplate"-that is, a few pieces are displayed on the back of the head Eyed tentacles, look at the still hot body, and look at the mother and daughter who are shaking together.
"Is it not enough for an adult male to fill his stomach? Or in order to isolate the intelligence after becoming that man, to kill two women and make them into reserve grain by the way?"
Young laughter and applause appeared in the night~EbookFREE.me~ Alien looking back with her mother and daughter, the teenager dressed in black ceremonies sat on the eaves, clapping hands and laughing.
"This is really a masterpiece. I originally thought that it was just a failed experiment. I didn't expect to have evolved the ability to transform and understand how to become a swallowed object. This is really a great discovery of the century!"
As if seeing a child with novelty things, the teenager kept cheering innocently. The beautiful appearance was covered with a flamboyant color under the fire and moonlight. The mother and daughter who were close to death were also dumbfounded.
After laughing for a while, the teenager lowered his head deeply, his face raised up again with the corners of his mouth twisted, and the lip line grinned slightly, which looked more like a in the lower half of his face than a smile.
Then the sound from there may be the mockery of hell.
"Although it is interesting, but I am tired, can you please die?"
As soon as the words fell, the 13mm caliber muzzle burst out with strong light to illuminate the dark alley. (To be continued...)
