Darkness is Coming

Chapter 346: Plant a seed of faith

Just as the camera left Huang Kaijing, the global live broadcast screen switched to the concert stage of the Olympic Sports Center. Zhang Xinyi put down the microphone in her hand and cast her clear eyes into the front, making every audience watching the live broadcast feel as if she came from the goddess of the battlefield. Watch.

"They are our heroes." Zhang Xinyi seems to be confessing to her sweetheart, affectionately, "In the far river, after the dome blocked the outside world, many areas of the city began to lose water and electricity, and we survivors can only live in small places. Live in the room."

"In the long night with no lights and no starlight, I listened to the screams resounding everywhere outside the window, listening to the chewing and biting sounds of zombies devouring flesh and blood, listening to the wild and wanton laughter of mutants, every sound It made me tremble with fear, and made me feel cold all over in the hot summer. I dare not look outside, because there are only mutilated corpses outside except for the smelly black shadows that keep moving in the dark and may rush in front of me at any time."

"Every night was so long, and every night was so desperate. Until one day, the Awakened and the People's Guard came to my street, and hope finally lit up in the dying city of Yuanjiang. Firelight."

"It wasn't until that day that I realized that civilization and order are so important. No matter what, there is always a group of people who are willing to stand in front of us and silently guard us. They are not afraid of hardship or death, and they vow to block all darkness from our sight. A place not seen."

   Talking about a story that does not belong to her, Zhang Xinyi was so emotional that tears filled her eyes, not like a disguise.

   After Zhang Xinyi shed hot tears from the corners of her eyes, the big screen behind her turned to pitch black, and the page of the global webcast also turned pitch black.

   Then, a few lines of white words that made one's eyes wide open appeared in the dark picture:

  Documentary: We are in the far river.

  This film contains a few scenes of **** violence.

  Children under the age of 18 or those with heart disease, please be prepared to watch.

  If you experience dizziness, vomiting and other uncomfortable symptoms due to this film, please be strong and try your best to adapt.

   The white characters faded, revealing a screen of giant steel beasts. The People's Guard Army soldiers in helmets and uniforms were lined up in a neat line, with their flags and flags hidden in the air and their military boots on the ground.

"salute!"

   A deep voice suddenly sounded, imposing.

   "Shu" only once, and thousands of hands rose in unison, neat and tidy.

   "Our name!" a low male voice asked.

   "People's Protection Army!" The voices of thousands of fighters merged, and the tile kettle thundered.

   "Our Mission!"

   "Defend the family and the country!"

   "Our duty!"

   "Guard every inch of the country! Guard every citizen!"

  The background music sounded immediately, and the drum horns rang in unison, swallowing the mountains and rivers, corresponding to the lions in the army in the picture, just right.

   The video played on the screen is the first issue of the promotional video "We are in the Far River" made by Li Jing, an intern reporter of Yuanjiangyuan Metropolitan Channel.

   This series of documentaries has been held by the Yuanjiu Society for a long time. After obtaining relevant information, the military once wanted to release this series of documentaries to restore the army’s bad image among the people.

The army has a bad image among the people, which is unavoidable in peaceful times. Whether it is China, the United States or Japan and South Korea, in times of war, the people always sing praises for the selfless and fearless national army. , people's impressions of soldiers tend to be reversed.

  Some young people in the army can't figure it out, they always think that the people are bad and prejudiced. In the eyes of the older generation of soldiers, this idea itself is prejudiced. The change in the people's impression of the army is the result of a combination of factors and there are many reasons, rather than simply slaughtering the donkey.

  In the war years, the role of the soldiers was manifested, throwing their heads and shedding blood, defending the family and defending the country, and seeing the sacrifices of the soldiers, the people naturally have a high respect for the army. In the peaceful era, the peaceful life made people gradually forget the war, the sacrifices the soldiers had made, and even the necessity of the existence of the army. In addition, a single piece of mouse droppings can ruin a pot of porridge. The ugly actions of some local military gangsters have repeatedly lowered the image of the People's Protection Army in the hearts of the people.

   For the People's Defense Army, it is urgent to rectify the military style and reshape its image, and this series of documentaries can become the trump card to change the people's outlook.

However, regarding the use of this documentary, Yang Xiaoqian and Liu Yuanzhou had already reached an agreement, and reported to Chairman Wen and got affirmation, so this documentary has been hidden in the hands of the Yuanjiu Association, waiting for the best time to show it, which is this moment. .

As the video progresses little by little, from the conversation between Li Jing and Zhao Jiang, the former brigade commander of the 258th Brigade who had died heroically, to the tragic scene of the 258th Brigade fighting the corpse tide, and then to Li Jing and those who survived in the refuge camp The conversations of the audience, the pictures without any powder and no special effects, the simple, true and heart-warming dialogues gradually touched the hearts of hundreds of millions of viewers.

The old soldier who folded the cups into squares and vowed to fight the zombies to the end; the young woman who cried because her newly bought house was blown up; the man who decided to join the army with a cigarette; Saluting young pioneers... One after another real characters are deeply imprinted in the minds of the audience, giving the audience on the other side of the screen a sense of reality and substitution that is impossible to bring about in movies and TV series.

   By the time the documentary reaches the last stage, the number of people watching the live broadcast online has exceeded 500 million, most of them are Chinese and overseas Chinese, and many foreign friends have started watching and sharing links.

   In the picture, for the first time, there is a face full of energy, and those bright eyes make people doubt whether their owners are in a desperate situation.

   "Hello." The reporter asked.

   "Hello, hello." The warrior replied with a smile, showing his white teeth.

   "I'm Li Jing, an intern reporter of the original city channel. I want to interview you some questions."

   "No problem, just ask!"

   "You are a member of the 258 Brigade. Do you think the 258 Brigade has the ability to recover the entire territory of Yuanjiang?"

   "I really don't know about this. That's what the officers thought, but I know that the brothers of our 258th brigade will definitely do their best. We have a slogan, no blood will be shed, and no truce! Hehe."

   "Then... do you have any plans or thoughts now?"

"Work hard. If I don't get infected in the end, I will go back to the front line. If I get infected... If I get infected, I will voluntarily transform into a zombie for the scientists and medical scientists in the camp to study. I hope they can make good use of it. My family can share a little more pension, it is not easy for my mother to be alone."

  The picture freezes.

   "You, may I ask why you made such a decision?"

   "My grandfather fought in the Anti-Japanese War and my father fought in the Vietnam War. I remember a sentence they both said since I was a child."

   "To die for the country, once is not enough!"

  To die for the country, once is not enough!

   The extremely loud eight words hit the hearts of all Chinese audiences, and countless people burst into tears in the face of the screen, sobbing.

  To die for the country, once is not enough!

  In various provinces and cities in China, people who were choked with tears were either shouting loudly or meditating in their hearts. Under the irrigation of tears and blood, a belief began to take root.

   "The performance was very successful. This year's recruitment rate will definitely increase a lot."

   After listening to the reports from the on-site personnel and the network team, Yang Xiaoqian, who was still looking up at the sky, muttered to the air, as if his neck was a little sore, and suddenly lowered his head.

"Ugh."

   A long sigh, a sigh that no one could understand.
