Chapter 111, Tempest
Ossena was soaked through.
She has been running for a long time in the wind and rain.Even though she was wearing a rain cover, her thin body seemed to be blown away by the wind at any time.
More than once, her subordinates wanted her to return to the house, but she refused.
"You have time to persuade me here, why don't you do more things."
That's what she said, and that's what she did.
It stands to reason that after all the work arrangements for the food distribution points have been completed and the attack on the food convoy has been resolved, all you need to do is follow the plan and implement step by step, and there will be no major problems up.
At most, you need to worry about law and order.
Residents of the outer city of Fuxing City, in the past few days, because of the war and turmoil, many people have fallen into hunger.
And they don't say they are thugs or mobs, but they can't be expected to obey the rules of these people who basically have wandering experience in the wasteland.Many of them had blood on their hands.
During the long process of queuing up to receive food, it is completely normal for security issues to arise.
She anticipated this and made some rules.The soldiers with live ammunition will strictly warn the people in line and ask them to obey the rules.Those who do not obey the rules will not only be suppressed by the soldiers, but will also lose their qualifications to receive food.
Coupled with her tireless publicity, the food supply is sufficient, and the probability of scrambles and security problems will be greatly reduced.
Everything from the very beginning was indeed going as she had imagined.
Until the storm hits.
The storm had already made Ossena feel bad when it just arrived.
Queuing in the wind and rain is a test for the bodies of the people, a test for their mentality, a test for Osena's people, and for the soldiers to maintain law and order.
When is it bad for wind and rain?Don't pick this time!
I had no choice but to grit my teeth and continue.
This storm messed up a lot of things, which suddenly increased the workload of her subordinates a lot, and there were also many emergencies, which were reported to her one by one, and she needed to take one after another. Make an idea, or even take care of it yourself.
Many things cannot be settled by sitting in the office, listening to reports, and making the next decision.
She ran through many food distribution points in the rain, facing one thing after another on the front line.
Very busy, very tired, very hard, but her will is firm enough.
This is the first and most important day of building a bridge of mutual trust between the governor and the people of Fuxing City.She must do her best in her position.
No matter how big the storm is, it can't hinder her determination to carry out everything smoothly.
Until the order to evacuate in two hours was conveyed to her.
It made her feel disillusioned.
With so much hard work, she never cried out.But this news made her body tremble.
She couldn't help feeling a little dazed.
What was the point of all those previous efforts, even the sacrifices of the soldiers guarding the transport corridors?
She stood where she was, staring blankly at the people who were also lining up in the wind and rain.
There are parents with young children, and the husband and wife arched their bodies, holding up a small piece of space for the child, sheltering from the wind and rain, but the little boy who looked only four or five years old was still drenched;
There was a cripple who came alone. When walking forward, his foot slipped and fell into the water that could cover his feet. He couldn't get up for a long time and had to rely on the help of others to get up again;
Everyone in the storm looked so hard and so helpless.
There are only two hours at most, so give them up?
Ossena felt that she couldn't do it.
But after a while, she said to herself again:
"You must do it."
She can't see everything, but she's not an idiot.She could guess that the key reason why she had to evacuate was because of the storm that was getting bigger and bigger.It didn't even occur to her that this storm might kill everyone.
If there is a choice, the governor will definitely not make this kind of decision, it is only because there is no choice, it will be like this.
Then what she has to do is to keep as many people alive as possible.
This has the same meaning as the distribution of food before, but it is more difficult.
Whether it is a specific thing to do, or a resolution that should be made.
She wiped the rain off her face, but to no avail, more cold rain slapped her face.
She beckoned and asked her subordinates to come over. Facing the sound of heavy wind and heavy rain, she said loudly in her ear: "Notify all the food distribution points! Ask each point to set aside a team, and arrange for all the people who have received the food to gather outside the city !"
"Tell them that this storm is a plot by a cult! It's for their safety to leave the city!"
"Use all available speakers!"
"Select volunteers from those who have received food, and notify everyone they know as soon as possible! Leave the city! Leave some reliable refugees behind to help us maintain law and order!"
"Go and mobilize a team of soldiers right now, set up a temporary camp outside the city, and go to a place where there is no wind and rain! Drive all the cars that can be driven, and bring the food from the distribution center!"
Later, she connected to Lambert's signal and asked him to try his best to transport the food from the inner city to the temporary camp.
After doing this, she heard a rumbling sound.
At first she thought it was thunder, but then the ground trembled, and it didn't look like thunder.
When I came out, I saw an orange light in seven directions around the city, passing through the sky and hitting the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the same muffled thunder sounded again.
After a while, seven orange-red rays of light descended from the sky.
Is this orbital bombing?
What is the problem, it needs to use orbital bombing?
Ossina shuddered.
Although it is only located on the seven fringes of the city, with a distance of more than ten to twenty kilometers from the city center, but with such terrifying power, if there are people and residential buildings around, I am afraid...
She shook her head, she shouldn't think about those things by herself.
The things in front of you are more important.
The food distribution point here is already in chaos.
The order to evacuate has been issued.
Ossina clearly knew that with the power she controlled now, it was impossible to guarantee the order of evacuation under such a storm.
She also wanted to organize teams of poor people completely, and have at least one team of soldiers beside each evacuation team to maintain order and guide them to leave to the evacuation point outside the city.
But that didn't happen at all.
Give her time, give her a stable environment, she might be able to do it.But now, it is too difficult to arrange as many people as possible to leave the city in stormy conditions in two hours.
The sound of the wind, the sound of the rain, and the thunderstorm, even if she shouted with all her strength, her voice would not be able to travel very far.
Since the goal is to evacuate as many people as possible, she would rather abandon some order, rather there will be a lot of chaos in the middle, and she should spread the news as far as possible as far as possible.
Let the people find a way to go out on their own, these locals may be faster than trying to organize their own people.
And her higher priority job is to ensure the smooth flow of evacuation channels as much as possible during this process, so that a large number of people will not be blocked on the way out of the city, so that no one can get out in the end; The reception point, to ensure the supply of supplies, a large number of people who could not appear did not die in the storm after leaving the city, but starved to death in the wilderness.
I have to do one thing after another, and I am afraid that I have not thought of something or missed something; everything is very important, but it is very difficult under the constraints of the environment and conditions; the time is very urgent, two hours, How much can you do if you work hard?
But still the same sentence, only desperately.
