Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

Night gradually fell.

A street whose name is translated as ‘city centre’,

This area of ​​the capital city of Kerna was divided into two parts, creating two worlds.

The overlooking scene is like an hourglass, and the entrance to the safe zone is the narrow opening.

Refugees and civilians gathered from all over, flowing slowly from one side of the 'hourglass' to the other like gravel.

The safe zone has been basically established.

Around the safety zone, the peacekeeping forces have established fixed sentries at regular intervals, focusing on each intersection.

In accordance with the previous standard of patrolling the defense line of the border battalion, with slight changes, several groups of peacekeepers patrolled along the entire security zone defense line.

Within the safety zone, several patrol lines have been arranged based on the current concentration of refugees and civilians in the safety zone to ensure order within the safety zone.

The tents brought by the first batch were all set up under the rush of a group of soldiers.

There were only a few hundred tents, less than a thousand, which was a drop in the bucket for the tens of thousands of people who poured into the safety zone on the first day.

Hundreds of tents were given priority to the young, old, sick, disabled, pregnant women and other people in the safety zone at the request of the peacekeeping forces.

Most of the remaining refugees, civilians from the northern tribe of Kerna, are surrounding those tents, either setting up their own simple shacks, or relying on houses that have become dilapidated during the previous war and can barely provide shelter. Dangerous buildings, densely packed together.

All I can say is that fortunately it is already early summer and the weather in Kelna is not cold.

But there are also problems, such as the sanitary environment in the safety zone and some viruses and bacteria that may become active that can bring epidemic dysentery.

Entrance to the safe area.

The temporary power-generating equipment illuminated the light bulb above the entrance to the safe zone.

In addition, Mo Dao and others brought some military drones, which also played some role at this time.

There are wires hanging below, and light bulbs are installed under the drone. Several ultra-high-wattage light bulbs provide some lighting to the area where most people in the safe zone live at the moment.

However, the safe zone is really quite large, and there is still no way to illuminate the entire safe zone.

Near the entrance,

Mo Dao and others also made several fires.

Mo Dao, battalion instructor Yu Qun, Lieutenant Colonel Wu, and Alsop were all sitting next to one of the fires.

Next to them, there were some soldiers who took turns to rest.

Although Mo Dao said that he would give priority to ensuring the safety of the soldiers who came out with him,

But in this matter, the Chinese army and soldiers still followed the traditions of the Chinese army.

The soldiers were just sleeping in a row next to the fire, holding their guns on the ground in plain clothes.

They abandoned the tents they had set up all day long.

At the entrance to the safety zone next to it, in the safety zone, those Kerna refugees and civilians who have not yet fallen asleep,

They all looked towards them from time to time, looking at this army that was quite special to them with either always vigilant, or inquiring, or dull eyes.

There are differences between armies, and even peacekeeping forces have very different styles.

…

"...With your help, we are working hard to repair the lines and hope to restore power supply within the safety zone tomorrow."

Beside the fire, Modao, Alsop and others sat around and talked.

Alsop looked around and said with some worry in his eyes.

It is impossible to determine whether the power supply in the safe zone was damaged before, or whether it was deliberately damaged by some people after the national federation announced the scope of the safe zone.

But no matter what, the establishment and maintenance of the safe zone this time is very difficult.

"Major Mo, you have worked hard today. You may still have to bear a lot of pressure on the safety issues in the safety zone for some time to come."

Alsop looked at the soldiers of the Chinese peacekeeping force sleeping on the ground next to him and said to Mo Dao sincerely.

"This is our responsibility. However, the maintenance and operation of the safe zone will be difficult for more than 300 of us alone. When will peacekeeping troops from other countries arrive?"

Mo Dao turned back, looked at the soldiers, and then said.

Alsop sighed anxiously, and then said apologetically,

"Sorry, Major Mo. Among the peacekeeping troops decided to send this time, some troops from small countries may not be willing to 'wander through this muddy water', so they have been very slow."

After listening to Alsop's words, Mo Dao glanced at Alsop and said no more.

He didn't ask why he didn't agree with China sending more peacekeeping troops.

In that case, it is impossible for Europe and the United States, which have interests in Kerner, to agree.

Now that Mo Dao is just the military commander of the peacekeeping force, there is no need to worry about this.

Mo Dao raised his head again and looked at the scene in the safe zone and the entrance to the safe zone.

At the entrance to the safe area,

Even though the night is getting darker now,

Although the number of refugees and civilians coming from Kerna was much smaller than during the day,

But it’s still a steady stream.

It can be expected that

Wait until tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... more and more people will gather in the safety zone.

It's like a bomb that keeps adding gunpowder.

There are more than 300 people in the peacekeeping camp. They are the iron sheets of the bombs here.

No one knows whether a spark will emerge from inside or outside the safe zone.

Detonate this bomb.

"Mr. Alsop, how long can this batch of supplies shipped by the National Federation last?"

Mo Dao turned back and asked again.

"According to the current situation, it should be able to hold out until the morning... if we only consider distributing some necessary food to the civilians who have just entered the safe zone."

"What about the next batch of supplies?"

"If everything goes well, there may be another batch of aid supplies delivered tomorrow afternoon. However, that batch of supplies can no longer be delivered to the safe zone... This is for the entire capital of Kerna."

"Yeah."

Mo Dao nodded and ended the discussion on this issue.

Looking at the instructor who was adding firewood to the fire,

"Instructor Yu, you take a rest first. I will be on duty in the first half of the night, and you will be on duty in the second half of the night."

"Okay."

Instructor Yu had no objection, moved to the side, found a place to lean on, and closed his eyes to rest.

As for the current situation, the entire peacekeeping camp can only take turns to rest.

There is always a need for people at the sentry post and mobile patrol, and there are always soldiers guarding the entrances to the safe zone.

Mo Dao sat down again and stood up again.

Go to the entrance and replace two soldiers.

"You go and rest."

"Yes, Moying!"

Standing at the entrance,

Soon a Kerna man came to Mo Dao again,

"Hello, this is the safe zone guarded by the Chinese peacekeeping force. It is used to ensure the implementation of the resolution made by the National Federation Security Conference to ensure that the people of the Kerna Northern Tribe will no longer be massacred."

"I need to emphasize to you again that we believe in your promise that you are a civilian of the Kerna Northern Tribe. But if you choose to enter the safe zone, you must abide by the rules of the safe zone. You are not allowed to deliberately create any conflicts and disrupt the order in the safe zone. In the future, you must fully accept our jurisdiction."

Mo Dao emphasized to the Kerna man again.

As for whether this Kerna man belongs to the northern tribe, although the soldiers in front have already asked.

But it is difficult to judge directly. The appearance characteristics of people in the southern and northern tribes are very different, or there is no obvious difference.

At present, it basically depends on refugees and civilians who want to enter the safe zone to provide some original household registration certificates, or simply promise themselves.
