Martial law was already in place in barrier No. 144. Zhang Xiaoman led a fully-built infantry brigade to set up checkpoints in important streets in the barrier to ensure order during retreat.
His mission is to keep civilians from being harmed in case someone takes advantage of the chaos.
Before this, everyone was discussing in the conference room what unexpected situations would happen during the evacuation process and what emergency plans should be made.
When they said this, everyone turned their attention to Ren Xiaosu.
After all, looking at the entire Barrier Alliance, Xiao Su is the only one who can be called the Barrier Destroyer.
If you count Ren Xiaosu’s experiences, he has experienced 90% of the barriers in this barrier alliance.
After the earthquake of barrier No. 113, it was attacked by experimental subjects and human-faced insects and destroyed.
The Li family barrier was attacked and destroyed by Li Shentan and experimental subjects.
The Yang family barrier was attacked by Li's nano warriors and was almost destroyed.
The barrier of Zhou's 74 was besieged by the experimental body, and was later detonated by the Qing's nuclear bomb.
Barrier No. 61 was destroyed by the disaster of the tiger climbing the wall.
Tin barriers, Kong's barriers...
Even the city in the Wizard Kingdom is no exception.
It seems that Ren Xiaosu is either destroying the barrier or on the road to destroy the barrier.
Even the cause of all this destruction has nothing to do with him.
So when this series of data was summed up, everyone in the conference room hoped that Ren Xiaosu could start from his own experience and talk about what to pay attention to on the evacuation road.
Although barriers 145, 144, 146, and 143 have not yet been destroyed, their nature is the same. They are all destroyed to a certain extent in the face of force majeure.
Ren Xiaosu looked at everyone's expectant gaze and couldn't help but sigh. This was not a topic worth savoring. He would rather have never experienced these things before.
If the order collapses on the evacuation road, then all the sins you can imagine will happen. Ren Xiaosu said: There is no longer trust between people, but this is not something they can decide on themselves. Everyone is like a drowning person. All they can do is to grasp every life-saving straw.
Everyone began to rush into shops in barriers or other people's homes, plundering other people's property in a rude and savage way, as a bargaining chip for their own survival.
Children, women and the elderly will become the most vulnerable groups on the way to escape, and some men begin to try to master the most primitive power, dominate the means of production, and dominate everyone's freedom.
Food and medicine have become the scariest resources, and the value of money is constantly depreciated. If they are all hungry, then eating a bite is likely to cause death.
People began to curse those in power because it was the consequence of those in power.However, they soon stopped scolding because they were all about escaping and no longer had the heart to care about other matters.
In fact, Ren Xiaosu has never experienced the most painful thing in the world on his way to escape because he has the strength.
But most people are not as lucky as him. Sometimes the escaped team set off again after resting, and some corpses would be left in the original camp.
No one cares about how they died, they may have been robbed or violated, everything is possible.
Ren Xiaosu continued: In the war, of course we cannot spend more energy to protect the civilians, but the necessary supplies must be provided. As long as everyone can still eat a bite, the situation will not be hopeless, and fewer people will take risks.
Therefore, the top priority on the evacuation road is food.
The large fields of potatoes, winter melons and pumpkins that Zhou Yingxue once planted casually became the key to this evacuation.
These crops planted by the maid are so high that they are incredibly productive.
In order to protect the economic ecology within the barriers, Wang Yuexi was unwilling to put this batch of crops into the market on a large scale. He even had a fight with Zhou Yingxue about this.
And now in the chaotic times, their role has been played out.
Although there are fewer varieties of these foods, it is almost the same if you can avoid starving to death at this time, and no one will pay attention to it.
A large number of supplies were transported to the gate to the west of the barrier, and some were transported to the northwest to establish relief stations in the wilderness.
The relief station is set up at about every 80 kilometers. The normal escape speed of refugees can usually walk 60 kilometers a day. This way, the relief station is enough to ensure that refugees will not starve to death on the road.
When the radio sounded from every corner of the barrier, the infantry brigade led by Zhang Xiaoman immediately became vigilant.
But what surprised them was that when the residents in the barrier No. 144 learned that they were going to retreat, their first reaction was not panic, but silence and curiosity.
In silence, military trucks and material trucks were driving towards the West, and there was indeed an atmosphere of storm.
I don't know where the sound of glass breaking sounded.
Several young people stood on the street with a smaller traffic. After hearing the radio, they thought their chance had come, so they found a grocery store selling tobacco and alcohol, and wanted to rob the store in the chaos.
In their opinion, this brick is like a signal. As long as it is smashed out, the barriers will immediately become chaotic, and no one will have time to care about them.
More than a year ago, when the barriers to the Zong family were shattered, something similar happened, and now they are familiar with it.
However, this time it was a little different. They had just thrown the bricks out, but found that the residents around them were watching them coldly.
No one followed, a piece of glass that smashed the window, but amid the sound of breaking, the atmosphere became more and more strange and quiet.
Their momentum became weaker little by little, and then they were ready to run away like children who did something wrong.
An aunt shouted on the side of the road: Who, aren’t you the child of Lao Li’s family at the intersection of the street? Get out of here, otherwise it will be up to your father to deal with you.
Before he finished speaking, the young men who smashed the glass ran away.
A farce ended in a hurry before it even began.
Someone began to find soldiers from the infantry brigade and asked: Isn’t this broadcast a prank?Who is the enemy? Is our Northwest Army so powerful and still has an enemy that cannot be defeated?Do we need to do anything?
This made many soldiers stunned. They already knew what kind of enemy was coming, and they knew very well that it would be difficult for the Northwest Army to compete with it.
But the civilians didn't think so, communication was interrupted, and even the newspapers didn't know what was going on in the Central Plains. The people only felt that at the Northwest home court, the young coach and the Sixth Field Division had even destroyed the Wizard Kingdom. These days, the storytellers in the tavern talked about how powerful the Northwest Army was.
So everyone thinks that the Northwest Army is the most powerful, why are they forced to retreat?
The soldiers of the infantry brigade said: The enemy is very powerful.
The old man next to him smiled and said: Be confident, everyone believes that you can win.
Infantry Brigade soldiers explained: We really can't beat this plain terrain.
The old man said: Is it true? I don’t believe it.
The soldiers of the Infantry Brigade said: We are strategic retreat, and this place will soon become the main battlefield. If you stay here, you will be affected by the war.
It was not until this time that the old man said: Ao, strategic retreat Ah, I understand strategy, then we will retreat now!
The soldiers of the infantry brigade took a lot of effort to get around the civilians waiting for explanation before they went home to pack up their things.
The barrier administrators led by Wang Yuexi were in a hurry. They began to urge everyone to evacuate through the radio and inform everyone of some explainable questions on the radio.
For example, you should go lightly and simply, such as how to follow the large army, such as how to find supply and rescue points, such as setting off as soon as possible, such as women and elderly people with children can go to the military controlled area of the Sixth Field Division in the barrier and accept unified arrangements for evacuation.
The refugee town at the west gate of the barrier has been vacant, and all residents who have passed by and evacuated west will be able to receive a portion of cooked potatoes.
When Zhang Xiaoman came to inspect the place, he originally thought that it would be very messy and that refugees might even rob food.
But in fact, such a thing did not happen. The evacuated civilians lined up in an orderly manner to receive relief food, and then followed the evacuated large troops toward the northwest.
At first, Zhang Xiaoman felt that his arrangements were good, so he controlled the situation so quickly that he could go to the young coach to seek credit at night.
Facing the infantry brigade with live ammunition, who dares to cause trouble for the Northwest Army at this time?
However, gradually he discovered something strange. Some people who tried to go to the lineup were scolded by other civilians before the soldiers of the infantry brigade were caught. They could only line up honestly in the back.
Some people who received the food and hid behind the team once and wanted to cheat another piece of relief food were also identified by other civilians and kicked out of the team.
There are also some refugees who don’t get food at all.
Zhang Xiaoman stopped an aunt who had not received food in confusion, and then asked: Auntie, why don’t you go to receive food? Is my soldiers not having a good attitude or not giving you food?
The aunt was happy: Didn’t it mean that there was another supply point eighty kilometers away? My family still had a lot of food, so it wouldn’t be able to hold on to even eighty kilometers.The young man from my neighbor said, you still have to stay and fight with the enemy, and the food may not be enough, so I thought I won't cause you any trouble.
As he said that, the aunt opened the cloth bag she was carrying, and there were fried oil pancakes inside: Do you eat it?
Before Zhang Xiaoman could refuse, the aunt stuffed a piece of oil cake into Zhang Xiaoman's hand.
Zhang Xiaoman wondered why this was different from what the young coach said.
……
Not only Zhang Xiaoman was puzzled, but Ren Xiaosu was also puzzled.
He walked on the street with Yang Xiaojin, and the scenes he could see during his escape had not yet occurred at Barricade No. 144.
However, Ren Xiaosu quickly figured it out: The war did not really affect here, so the residents of Barrier No. 144 did not have the panic I had seen before. With the relief station and appropriate information, they did not really feel hunger and fear.Therefore, there is still some rationality here.
Yang Xiaojin said: It is also everyone who can trust the Northwest Army.
Ren Xiaosu shook his head: In an extreme situation, what is trust worth?When I was not an extraordinary person, I also felt that kind of fear. Even if I need someone to watch the night when I sleep, how can I talk about trusting strangers?I hope the Northwest will not become like that. Before the real disaster comes, we can only try our best to maintain the status quo.
Yang Xiaojin smiled and said: You don’t have to be so humble, there are also the contributions of you, Wang Yuexi, Fugui and the others.
Ren Xiaosu shook his head again, but did not continue to argue.
He rarely believes in human nature because he has seen too many things that are inhumane.
So Ren Xiaosu felt that the refugees have not made the most violent step now, and probably have not figured out what situation everyone is facing.
At this time, Ren Xiaosu saw an old man sitting on a small stool at his doorstep, looking calmly at the barriers and retreating.
Ren Xiaosu walked over and said curiously: Uncle, have you not heard the radio? People over 55 need to quickly gather at the military control area of Anning East Road, where you will arrange for a unified retreat.
The old man glanced at Ren Xiaosu and smiled and said: No, you young people, please leave quickly, don’t worry about me.
The old man seemed to have no idea of Ren Xiaosu's identity. Ren Xiaosu said in confusion: Are you not leaving?Why?Is it because I have lived here for a long time and don’t want to leave?Don’t you know that the enemy is coming? If the Northwest Army cannot defeat them, they can only wait for death to stay here, or face a situation that is more difficult to accept than death.
Ren Xiaosu sometimes wonders whether those people controlled by zero still have their own perceptions?
Maybe they can still see, hear, have a sense of smell and taste.
But even in this situation where the five senses are all present, it is forced to eat insects and animal limbs to supplement protein and swallow animal internal organs to supplement fat. How terrible and cruel it is.
The old man sat on the stool and looked up at Ren Xiaosu and smiled: I heard from the young man next door that the enemy was coming and the Northwest Army wanted a strategic transfer.I am not nostalgic about this place. Although I have lived for a lifetime, I also want to see the peaceful and prosperous times after the Northwest Army defeated the enemy.But my leg is lame, I can't walk anymore, and I can't walk to Fortress 178.
Ren Xiaosu was puzzled: Isn’t it clear enough on the radio? A 55-year-old man like you doesn’t have to go that far, so naturally someone will make arrangements for you.
The old man smiled and said: I know that the Northwest Army is kind-hearted and brings the women with children and the elderly together. I guess I want to transport them by vehicles, but there are so many people in one barrier, so how can the Northwest Army be so busy? I won’t cause trouble for them by this old bone.
Ren Xiaosu was a little helpless. Although the radio said that the evacuation was arranged uniformly, it did not mention the matter of the key gate. On the one hand, it was difficult to explain the operating mechanism of the key gate, and on the other hand, it was unnecessary to explain this.
Ordinary residents understood what was going on when they heard the unified arrangements of the elderly, weak, women and children. However, the old man did not want to cause trouble for the Northwest Army, so he simply stopped reporting to the military sub-district.
Ren Xiaosu asked softly: Why? Isn’t it good if someone helps you?
The old man smiled: When I was young, the Zong family had the final say here. At that time, everyone didn’t feel that it was very hard. Anyway, the consortium gave you a bite of food, so you just make do with it, don’t pay attention to so much.Although everyone knows that life is hard, they can tolerate it and think that everyone in the world lives this kind of life.It is said that everyone has a good life in Fortress 178, but everyone has no idea because they have never seen it with their own eyes, and they just think it is a legend.
The old man continued: Later, the Northwest Army of the 178 Fortress came, and the atmosphere in the barrier finally began to become active. Everyone dared to speak loudly, and the beautiful daughter dared to dress up and go out to the streets. There was no need to be afraid to see the soldiers.If it were in the past, there would be beautiful girls at home who had cut their hair short and raised them as boys, and they would not dare to let the Zong people see them.Only then did everyone realize that they used to live in dark ditches, but now the sun has just shined in.
Ren Xiaosu asked: Since good days have just begun, we should live longer.
You are not a young man, the old man smiled: What kind of enemy does the Northwest Army need to force the Northwest Army to retreat?It must be a terrible enemy, an enemy they can't beat, right?After the Northwest Army arrived at the No. 144 barrier, it reduced taxes and established administrative service centers. After the Young Commander of the Northwest Army arrived, it also brought food for everyone, distributed land for everyone, and led everyone to build water conservancy.When it comes to this crisis, if the Zong family is changed, those who are in the army will run away long ago. As a result, the Northwest Army did not leave everyone behind to retreat. Instead, it will build relief stations and help the elderly, weak, women and children.But I know, they are afraid they don’t even care about themselves and still think about us.
The old man continued: When the disaster is coming, people still miss you, but you must be ignorant. What is it that I die at such an old age? I have to let those Northwest Army soldiers survive so that we can win Ah in the Northwest.The Northwest Army won, so the descendants of this land will not have to live in the gutters like when I was young.
If he didn't know what the world should be like, it would be fine if he actually lived under the rule of the Zong family. Anyway, this is how he lived from birth, and he could survive regardless of whether he could live.
But he had seen this short peaceful era in the northwest, and he could no longer bear the life he had experienced, and he didn't even want the people living on this land to experience all that.
In the uncle's opinion, preserving the strength of the Northwest Army is far more important than his old bones to survive.
Ren Xiaosu was silent for a long time. He waved to find the two infantry brigade soldiers who came to the street and said: Put this old man in the military control area.
Of course, these two soldiers recognized Ren Xiaosu, and immediately set up the old man and left without saying a word. In the barrier No. 144, what the young marshal said was the imperial edict.
The old man was carried away for more than ten meters away from the ground, and he was completely confused.
He suddenly struggled: Let me go, I won’t leave, you can take others away!
The two soldiers whispered: Uncle, don’t make things difficult for us. The young marshal said, even if you call me, you have to go to the military control area to evacuate with others.
The old man was stunned for a moment: Who did you think that young man was just now?
The two soldiers were having fun: You chatted with the young coach for a long time, but you still don’t know who he is?
The old man was completely stunned.
Ren Xiaosu stood in the alley and looked at the barrier and sighed: I hope there is enough time for everyone to evacuate.
His mission is to keep civilians from being harmed in case someone takes advantage of the chaos.
Before this, everyone was discussing in the conference room what unexpected situations would happen during the evacuation process and what emergency plans should be made.
When they said this, everyone turned their attention to Ren Xiaosu.
After all, looking at the entire Barrier Alliance, Xiao Su is the only one who can be called the Barrier Destroyer.
If you count Ren Xiaosu’s experiences, he has experienced 90% of the barriers in this barrier alliance.
After the earthquake of barrier No. 113, it was attacked by experimental subjects and human-faced insects and destroyed.
The Li family barrier was attacked and destroyed by Li Shentan and experimental subjects.
The Yang family barrier was attacked by Li's nano warriors and was almost destroyed.
The barrier of Zhou's 74 was besieged by the experimental body, and was later detonated by the Qing's nuclear bomb.
Barrier No. 61 was destroyed by the disaster of the tiger climbing the wall.
Tin barriers, Kong's barriers...
Even the city in the Wizard Kingdom is no exception.
It seems that Ren Xiaosu is either destroying the barrier or on the road to destroy the barrier.
Even the cause of all this destruction has nothing to do with him.
So when this series of data was summed up, everyone in the conference room hoped that Ren Xiaosu could start from his own experience and talk about what to pay attention to on the evacuation road.
Although barriers 145, 144, 146, and 143 have not yet been destroyed, their nature is the same. They are all destroyed to a certain extent in the face of force majeure.
Ren Xiaosu looked at everyone's expectant gaze and couldn't help but sigh. This was not a topic worth savoring. He would rather have never experienced these things before.
If the order collapses on the evacuation road, then all the sins you can imagine will happen. Ren Xiaosu said: There is no longer trust between people, but this is not something they can decide on themselves. Everyone is like a drowning person. All they can do is to grasp every life-saving straw.
Everyone began to rush into shops in barriers or other people's homes, plundering other people's property in a rude and savage way, as a bargaining chip for their own survival.
Children, women and the elderly will become the most vulnerable groups on the way to escape, and some men begin to try to master the most primitive power, dominate the means of production, and dominate everyone's freedom.
Food and medicine have become the scariest resources, and the value of money is constantly depreciated. If they are all hungry, then eating a bite is likely to cause death.
People began to curse those in power because it was the consequence of those in power.However, they soon stopped scolding because they were all about escaping and no longer had the heart to care about other matters.

I have to let those Northwest Army soldiers survive so that we can win Ah in the Northwest.The Northwest Army won, so the descendants of this land will not have to live in the gutters like when I was young.
If he didn't know what the world should be like, it would be fine if he actually lived under the rule of the Zong family. Anyway, this is how he lived from birth, and he could survive regardless of whether he could live.
But he had seen this short peaceful era in the northwest, and he could no longer bear the life he had experienced, and he didn't even want the people living on this land to experience all that.
In the uncle's opinion, preserving the strength of the Northwest Army is far more important than his old bones to survive.
Ren Xiaosu was silent for a long time. He waved to find the two infantry brigade soldiers who came to the street and said: Put this old man in the military control area.
Of course, these two soldiers recognized Ren Xiaosu, and immediately set up the old man and left without saying a word. In the barrier No. 144, what the young marshal said was the imperial edict.
The old man was carried away for more than ten meters away from the ground, and he was completely confused.
He suddenly struggled: Let me go, I won’t leave, you can take others away!
The two soldiers whispered: Uncle, don’t make things difficult for us. The young marshal said, even if you call me, you have to go to the military control area to evacuate with others.
The old man was stunned for a moment: Who did you think that young man was just now?
The two soldiers were having fun: You chatted with the young coach for a long time, but you still don’t know who he is?
The old man was completely stunned.
Ren Xiaosu stood in the alley and looked at the barrier and sighed: I hope there is enough time for everyone to evacuate.
