When Chad and others saw Annie getting out of the car and walking over, they opened the car door and followed curiously.

Before Lin Yu and the female assistant could reach the door, they heard the people gathered at the gate yelling emotionally.

"Assholes, you are all a bunch of damn bastards!"

"It's you who have brought disaster to us, it's you who have harmed us!"

"Get out! Get out of here! Get out of here wherever you come from!"

…

There was a strong dialect accent in their voices, and they could definitely be local residents.

A group of people yelled and cursed while waving wooden sticks, hoes and other weapons in their hands, smashing the locked door. The person at the front pulled the green iron fence door hard, tearing the door apart with a loud bang.

If it hadn't been for the door being locked, they would have rushed in like a tide.

Inside the iron gate, a row of armed soldiers stood, holding rifles and coldly facing the troublemaking crowd.

Lin Yu was shocked when he saw this scene. He didn't expect that these local people would dare to come to the military camp to cause trouble. Although he didn't know the specific reason, Lin Yu could roughly guess that it was probably related to this virus incident.

.

"He, stay back, be careful they hurt you."

When Annie saw the excited crowd in front of her, she couldn't help but frowned and pulled Lin Yu back to stand, looking a little panicked.

Judging purely from the number of people, there may be hundreds of people in this group.

"It's okay, don't worry!"

Lin Yu smiled faintly at Annie and told her not to be nervous.

"I repeat, please evacuate quickly! Please evacuate quickly!"

Inside the iron gate, a man with the rank of captain on his shoulders looked at the crowd outside shouting and scolding and said with a stern face, "Otherwise, don't blame us for using force!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier beside him immediately shouldered his gun neatly, and several sounds of "clatter, clatter, clatter" were heard at the same time.

"Come on, hit me on the head, come on!"

In front of the gate, a bald man pressed his head into the gap in the iron fence and roared loudly.

"That's right, if you can, just shoot! Anyway, if you kill just one or two of us, it won't be just one or two of us!"

"Come on, shoot us. If you can, kill us all! It'll be over once and for all."

"Demons, you are a group of murderous demons who do not blink an eye!"

The crowd behind them immediately started shouting excitedly, and the iron gates were colliding with each other. Many people picked up stones and threw them inside. A group of soldiers could only dodge with their heads down in a hurry.

When the captain inside saw this scene, his face was livid with anger, and his teeth were itching with anger. If he hadn't received the order from his superiors, he would have beaten these unruly people to the ground.

"Put down the gun, put down the gun!"

At this moment, a heavy shout came, and a group of soldiers in military uniforms were seen walking out of the military camp compound quickly. The leader was a middle-aged man with a square face. His whole face was gloomy, like a piece of iron covered with frost.

plate.

Lin Yu glanced at the military rank on his shoulder and was slightly startled. Unexpectedly, what this man was carrying on his shoulders was actually a senior colonel, which was obviously a cadre at the division level.

If there are indeed countless soldiers of this level in the capital, but if they are placed in this remote mountainous area with difficult conditions, they are definitely extremely rare.

Since even people at the level of a senior colonel were present in person, it shows how important this military exercise is.

"The guns in your hands are meant to be used against the enemy, not against your compatriots!"

The middle-aged colonel walked over and scolded the captain and a group of soldiers coldly.

A group of soldiers quickly put down their guns.

The mood of the crowd outside suddenly relaxed a bit, but they still kept shouting. They could also see that the official who came out this time was much bigger.

"Folks, don't get excited. Please be quiet. Please be quiet. Listen to me. Please listen to me!"

The colonel shouted to everyone with a gentle expression, and at the same time raised his hands in the air and kept pressing them down, "I am the highest-ranking officer here. If you have anything to say, you can tell me. If we have something to say, talk it over carefully!"

When everyone heard that he was the highest-ranking officer here, their faces suddenly perked up and their voices became softer. Now that the person in charge has come out, their goal has been achieved.

"Okay, everyone, just be quiet, be quiet!"

At this time, an old man wearing a Chinese tunic suit, dark skin, and deep wrinkles on his face shouted to the villagers behind him, "Since their top officer has come out, let me talk to them on behalf of everyone!"

The old man in Mao suit seemed to have a very high prestige among this group of people. After he finished speaking, everyone suddenly became quiet, obviously recognizing that he should be their representative.

Seeing that the mood of the crowd had softened, the colonel couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

He had experienced war before and had no fear at all when facing the hail of bullets, but now he was very helpless when facing his compatriots.

Because these villagers were all residents of nearby mountainous areas, not many were literate and liked to accept death, so it was difficult to reason with them. If their brute force came up, he would really be helpless.

"Brother, what is your name?!"

The colonel took out a box of cigarettes, took out one and handed it to the old man in Mao suit, and said in a flattering tone.

Anyone would be surprised if they saw a dignified senior colonel handing cigarettes to a country man in a flattering manner. However, when this senior colonel did it, it was very natural, without any pretense, hypocrisy or condescension hidden in his heart.

, as if he really regarded this villager as his fellow villager, his own countryman.

The old man took the cigarette, waited for the colonel to light it for him, took a few puffs, and then said: "I am the village chief of Shijiawu Village in Houshan, and the people present are all villagers from several nearby villages!"

Because the village chiefs of other villages were either sick or died of illness, he was the only village chief among the people present, and everyone naturally recognized him as the leader.

"Oh, it turns out that you are always the village chief of Shijiawu Village, the largest village in the area. How disrespectful!"

The colonel quickly shook hands with the old man with a smile, and said affectionately and rationally, "Brother, you are also the head of a village. It is really inappropriate to bring people to make trouble, isn't it?!

"

"snort!"

When the village chief heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he said angrily, "Don't you know why we came to make trouble? Nearly half of the more than 2,000 households in the eight villages near us are dead. Do you know?

!”

As soon as he said this, the villagers behind him became excited again and started shouting and cursing loudly.

"Brother, please let them quiet down first." The colonel sighed and said helplessly, "Stop talking. We have something to talk about."

The village chief waved to the villagers behind him, and the group of people became quiet.

The colonel frowned and whispered to the village chief anxiously, "Brother, didn't I tell the villagers last time that the virus infection happened suddenly and we were caught off guard, to be honest with you.

, hundreds of soldiers in our army have been infected with this virus..."

"Deserve it!"

The village chief's face suddenly turned cold, he let out a loud sigh, and said angrily, "It's because you are flying planes and shooting cannons here, and you have angered the mountain god, so the mountain god will punish us with this strange disease!"

"Yes, it's because of the disaster you brought!"

"You deserve to die! The hateful thing is that you and we were also punished by the mountain god!"

"You are so disrespectful to the mountain god, you should all go to hell!"

When the villagers behind heard what the village chief said, they immediately started shouting and swearing, looking extremely angry.

When the colonel heard them mention the "mountain god", he couldn't help shaking his head and crying and laughing. He was very helpless and said to them: "Folks, I told you, there is no such thing as a mountain god!"

"Chief, the people here believe in mountain gods. It's useless no matter how you explain to them."

A lieutenant colonel-level cadre behind him came over to talk to him.

Because of the complex terrain here, it is somewhat isolated and lags behind the development of the outside world. Science, technology and concepts are also relatively backward, which leads to their ignorant thinking of believing in mountain gods.

In fact, with the development of their village, their concept of "mountain gods" has become increasingly diluted, but the emergence of this virus infection has made them pick up this feudal and backward belief again. They thought that

It was the military drills of these soldiers that disturbed the mountain gods, so they brought disasters to punish them.

We can't blame them too much. After all, humans have been like this for thousands of years. When there are unsolvable disasters and confusions, they will place their hope in divine power and heaven.

Hearing that the colonel dared to deny the mountain god, a group of villagers became even more angry and shouted loudly again, appearing extremely angry.

"Folks, folks, listen to me!"

Seeing this, the colonel hurriedly reassured everyone, "We now have a batch of pills that can contain the virus. For the sake of caution, I have not distributed a large number to our villagers for the time being. I have let the soldiers in our military camp take them first.

After they try it and it is really effective, I will distribute this medicine to everyone!"

"We don't believe you!"

The bald man from before stood up and shouted angrily at the colonel, "We just listened to your instigation earlier and asked some bullshit expert doctors you sent to treat our folks, but in the end they all died!"

"That's right, we don't believe you, our people were killed by you!"

"Those expert doctors are the ones who deserve to die. If everyone they see dies, they must be the devil incarnate, and they should be sacrificed to the mountain god!"

"Yes, they should be sacrificed to the mountain god and the people should be handed over!"

"Quick, call people out!"

A group of villagers became extremely nervous again. They rushed up to the big iron gate and started tearing it apart. Some people even started to climb up the iron fence, trying to jump in from the outside.

"Chief, it's useless for you to explain to them. If you ask me, just shoot!"
