Chapter 200 (Chapter 200 (first update)...)
The sound from the loudspeaker was still very penetrating, and everyone hiding inside heard it.
In an instant, the people who were still squatting on the ground put down their hands and looked up, looking out with expectation and disbelief.
"The First Evacuation Detachment of the Central Continent People's Liberation Army has come to the rescue. The danger has been eliminated. Please open the door."
Outside, the soldiers shouting patiently repeated the words over and over again.
After repeating this over and over again, people finally stood up one after another. Even if they couldn't see outside, they couldn't help but look around, their faces full of hope.
The members of the embassy were also very excited, but they still remembered their responsibilities, looked at each other, and did not believe it so easily.
A young comrade held the gun, cautiously pushed the door open a small crack, and looked out.
As soon as I passed by, I saw the conspicuous red flag of Zhongzhou.
Looking at it again, there is a fully equipped convoy, and there are soldiers armed with guns raised and looking at the surroundings.
Above them, there were several small drones hovering in the sky.
Seeing him coming out with a gun, some soldiers immediately charged him with their muzzles in a well-trained manner.
"Please put down your weapons and prove your identity. Again, please put down your weapons..."
Seeing this, there is almost no need to doubt it anymore.
It's impossible for those thugs to stage such a big battle just for their own embassy.
But because he was responsible for the lives of thousands of people in the room, the young comrade concealed his excitement, gently put the gun on the ground, and slowly walked out with his hands slightly raised.
"I am from the embassy. Are you really sent by our country to evacuate overseas Chinese?"
It wasn't until he reached the iron gate that both parties began to produce various certificates to prove their identities.
No one in the embassy made a sound, even the most ignorant children had their mouths carefully covered by adults. Everyone pricked up their ears and tried to listen to what was going on outside, hoping to hear what they were thinking.
Outside, the young comrade in the embassy finally confirmed the identity of the evacuation force. He was so happy that his voice was trembling with joy:
"It's really our People's Liberation Army in Central Continent! It's our country that sent people to save us!!! Everyone, come and help open the door!!!"
The door opened, and many people ran out. The people from the embassy took the lead, working together to remove the blockage behind the iron door, and then worked together to open the heavy iron door that had been hit by bullets countless times.
Many ordinary expats spontaneously went over to help, and even people from the embassy of Country D were so excited that they burst into tears and joined in to help.
With a heavy moving sound, the iron door that had been closed for a long time and saved the lives of countless people in Central Continent was finally opened.
People cheered to welcome the familiar PLA troops as they entered.
"Okay, okay, now, our country has come to evacuate overseas Chinese, and we can all go home."
As the army entered, there could no longer be so many people standing in the yard, so everyone had no choice but to retreat inside. But even so, they would still lie down by the door frame and squeeze to watch.
No matter how you watch it, you never get tired of it.
Troops entered one after another, and people from the embassy also began to communicate with them.
"We have successively taken in 1,223 Chinese nationals. Among them, 125 people need to be treated as soon as possible due to illness or injury, including one person from our embassy. They need doctors and a good doctor. The surgical environment..."
"Here is also what we have recorded. The addresses of the expatriates who are still outside. Can you send people to protect them to a safe location as soon as possible? The address of our country's Chinese-owned factory is also on it. We also have a priority list for the evacuation of existing personnel. It’s all listed. If conditions permit, can we evacuate the children first..."
Looking at the neat piles of handwritten information and lists, the comrades officers couldn't help but give them a military salute.
"Thank you for your hard work."
The embassy was able to protect so many expatriates despite losing contact with the country, and at the same time collect so much information about the expatriates. The embassy did much more than they imagined.
"It's not hard, it's not hard. We originally thought we were going to take advantage of country D's evacuation. It's great that you can come. What tools will we use to evacuate our citizens this time? Boat? When can the first batch be evacuated? How many can we evacuate? people?"
Even if the country's evacuation force comes, the embassy will not take it for granted that it can take away many people.
The comrade who said this looked back at the expats who were still talking with smiles on their faces.
Now they are happy, but when they find out later that they still have to send people away according to the priority list, they may lose control of their emotions again. But fortunately, since the troops are here, it means that they have obtained the movement order. With the movement order, even if they cannot take them with them, Everyone returns to their home country, and troops can stay to protect local expatriates.
He was still thinking about how he would appease the expatriates later, when he heard the officer in front of him say decisively:
"There will be several batches, but our mission this time is to take away all our citizens."
"No one left behind."
***
There are three Zhongzhou factories in u country, and the workers are basically Zhongzhou people.
They are in a better situation because the factories are located in remote locations, so the lines have not been severely damaged and they can still communicate with the country.
And because it has the prefix "国" and is not a private company, they can contact the state and get some guidance.
But the not-so-good thing is that a factory is just a factory after all, and its armed forces are not as strong as the embassy.
Now the three Zhongzhou factories basically rely on organizing workers to defend themselves.
At first, it was calm before the chaos spread widely, but until a few more small forces appeared around, the people in these three Chinese-owned factories were trembling with fear almost every day.
It is not that there are no local factories around that have been destroyed. For those people, although the bigger factories are more difficult to gnaw on, they can also get the most property. After all, there will definitely be cash in big factories.
If they just wanted money, the factory would naturally be willing to go out and spend money to buy peace. However, these people are thugs and have been red-eyed for a long time. They don't know how to talk to people at all. They just go up and kill them indiscriminately.
If you can't communicate, you can only hold on.
As the number of thugs appearing in this remote area increases, the pressure on the three Zhongzhou factories is also increasing. If one factory cannot accommodate everyone, they would just like to gather them all together to resist together.
The heads of the three factories communicate frequently on the phone every day. Once the call of any factory is not answered, the other two factories will be uneasy, worried that the other factory has been captured.
If a phone call comes, I will also be worried and nervous. I am afraid that the other side is being attacked, so I call for help.
The summary is that your heart tightens when you hear the phone ringing at the time you shouldn't answer it, and your heart tightens when you don't hear it when you should listen.
In a factory, the person in charge was studying the surrounding routes when the quiet phone on the table suddenly rang.
This is an inside line, and only three factories will call each other.
He immediately put down his pen and picked up the phone to answer:
"What's wrong?"
This time was not the agreed time to report that it was safe. His heart was pounding, worried that something was wrong with the other party.
A relaxed laugh came from the other end:
"Hahahaha, Old Hao!! Our evacuation team from Zhongzhou is here!!! Hahahahahaha, the evacuation team is here!!"
"What?! Really?!"
Director Hao stood up abruptly, and his chair made a harsh sound as it was suddenly pushed away. The only few guys with weapons in the factory were lying outside with guns raised to monitor the situation. When they suddenly heard the movement here, they all started to panic. stand up.
"Director, what's wrong???"
"Did something happen to another factory?"
"Do you need our rescue? Which factory is in trouble?"
Director Hao couldn't help but put a smile on his face. He stretched out his hand to signal them to lower their voices while laughing with the other end of the phone:
"Is this news really false? You're not bluffing me, are you?"
"Am I the kind of unreliable person? If the news is inaccurate, will I tell you? This is what the superiors personally told me, saying that they have arrived in country u and are currently at the embassy. They will be here in a few days at most. Arranged for us.”
Director Hao kept laughing when he heard this, and he started to cry after laughing:
"Okay, okay, let's wait, let's wait well..."
The phone was hung up, and the door outside was almost full of people who heard the noise and came to look.
Most of them were factory employees. When Director Hao hung up the phone, everyone looked at him with timid eyes that couldn't help but expect good news.
Afraid of bad news.
But I hope it’s good news.
"Factory Director..." Soon, an employee couldn't wait to ask: "What is it? Is it good news? I heard you laughing downstairs."
Director Hao now has a completely uncontrollable smile on his face, with an expression that says "I want to announce some great news":
"We solemnly inform everyone..."
"Our evacuation troops from Central Continent have come to country u!!!"
After a few seconds of silence, strong, excited cheers erupted from the top floor.
Everyone couldn't help but jump up:
"Really?! Then are we saved?!! Can we go back to China?!"
"I want to go home!! I want to eat my mother's cooking!!"
"I also want to eat what my mother cooks... Forget about eating what my father cooks. My mother's cooking is too unpalatable."
"It's great, great, I can finally go home, woo woo woo..."
Many people were so happy that they cried. Such a big movement naturally attracted the attention of others. In this situation, everyone was like a frightened bird. When they heard the movement, they hurried up to check.
Seeing everyone crying and laughing, she was stunned on the spot, almost wondering if they were all going crazy because of the pressure.
The management did not celebrate for too long. They gathered their emotions and held a workers' meeting with smiles that could not be suppressed.
Director Hao has been very repulsive and even afraid of meetings during this period.
Because every time we have a meeting, bad news is announced.
Either that place was occupied by armed elements, or someone was attacking outside and gathering everyone to resist, or everyone was mobilized to cheer up and hold on together, cheering them up by talking about chicken soup that they didn't believe in.
But this time is different, there is finally good news.
Director Hao specially adjusted his clothes, stood on the stage with the management, and said loudly with an irrepressible smile:
"Comrades!! I have good news to tell you all!! You will be very happy to hear it!"
Seeing the workers below all looking curiously, Director Hao's heart was beating with excitement and he waved his hand!
As soon as he opened his mouth, a young comrade behind him shouted excitedly:
"Our troops from Central Continent are here to evacuate overseas Chinese!!!"
Director Hao, who had been feeling excited for a long time and was waiting to announce the good news: "..."
The workers below were stunned for a few seconds before suddenly bursting into cheers.
Amidst the huge cheers, Director Hao couldn't help but laugh. He turned around and patted the young comrade on the shoulder, and cursed:
"Brat."
"Okay, let's get going. We don't know when the troops will arrive at our place. We can't let down our guard. Looking at your smile, someone who didn't know it might have thought your face was blooming."
The young comrade chuckled: "Director, don't you smile like a flower?"
Director Hao couldn't help it any longer and burst into laughter:
"Okay! Laugh, let's all laugh! Hahahahaha!!"
"Why don't you laugh? We are going home, so happy! Hahahahahaha!!"
