Rupert, about 40 years old, Caucasian, poor English, with a heavy accent, reticent, not tall but full of murderous looks, yellow-green eyeballs always shoot out wisps of fierce light.
He and his three accomplices are from Southeast Asia and are the remnants of a once famous mercenary organization.
This organization has a long history and existed during the Renaissance Alliance.They used to have their own secret bases, but instead of engaging in production, they specialized in fighting for others to fight for territory. Their whereabouts were almost all over Southeast Asian countries, and they were there wherever there were power struggles.
The ancients said, how can you not get your shoes wet when you often walk by the river.The ancients also said that people who kill people will always kill them.This kind of act of having a milk is a mother angered two local survivor organizations, and they joined forces to encircle and suppress them.In the end, the secret base was captured, the main force was scattered, some died in battle and some scattered and fled.
Rupert was a small part of it, but instead of learning his lesson, he made it worse.Being a mercenary on land was no longer possible, so he simply joined a merchant ship.On the way to Jinmen Port, he killed the captain first, then took control of the entire ship, and continued his unfinished business. Pirates...sometimes they can also be called sea merchants.
This is how Jiang Songting knew Rupert. On the one hand, he could buy and sell anything with money, and on the other hand, he had the most in-demand anti-inflammatory drugs and special effects drugs.
Rupert transported weapons, ammunition and population from Southeast Asian countries according to the needs here, and Jiang Songting provided safe unloading points and medicines. They have cooperated intermittently for several years. It cannot be said that they are close, but they are also indispensable business partners.
Calling them over this time was originally intended to be the last insurance.Rupert's marksmanship is very good, and he is good at using the rifle to kill the target at a long distance.Once an accident occurs during the arms transaction, it can be silenced at any time.
It was indeed used. If the two officers were not dealt with immediately, it would be a luxury to survive in the red zone.At that time, not only the Ministry of Internal Affairs will go crazy and dig three feet into the ground, but Ah Jing and the group behind her will not let her live. They must be eliminated quickly!
But now they have a new target, Hong Tao!Ah Jing did not bargain for the price proposed by Jiang Songting. As long as Hong Tao can be killed, not only can she give medicines, but also prepay a batch of weapons and ammunition, including sniper rifles with scopes, night vision and communication equipment.
In order to show her sincerity, Ah Jing also specially brought a full set of documents and shipping documents from the transportation company.As soon as Hong Tao got shot, they could pretend to be the drivers of the transportation company and drive the carriage all the way south, reaching Jinmen Port as quickly as possible.
As long as you can wait for Rupert's merchant ship to leave the waters of Jinmen Port safely, you don't have to worry about it all day long.The medicines paid as compensation are enough for them to recruit and make a comeback anywhere in Southeast Asia.
Jiang Songting is quite satisfied with this arrangement. He is very clear about the current situation and has no illusions in his heart. He understands that as long as he assassinates Hong Tao, he will stab a hornet's nest. Not only will he be frantically arrested by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but there is a high probability that the Alliance military will intervene.
Even if it is still not safe to go to the Southeastern Alliance or the Southwest Alliance controlled area, the best choice is to go to Southeast Asia or the Indian Peninsula.Anyway, as long as you have hard currency and reliable partners, you can live a different life wherever you go, and maybe you can live a better life.
Chapter 1100
As for why the people behind Ah Jing insisted on opposing Hong Tao, Jiang Songting had his own guesses.It should not be a personal grievance, but a conflict of political opinions, so serious that the existence of one party has affected the survival of the other party.
If the previous shit bowl was closed and the new safe zone was controlled by the military, Hong Tao might still be alive.But this time, he was really caught in a hurry, and if he didn't take action, he could only watch the self-administered area grow day by day, and the more it dragged on, the worse it would be.
In all fairness, Jiang Songting admired Hong Tao very much.Not to mention the establishment of the prototype of the alliance and the number of people saved, just doing things in the safe zone, breaking the monopoly and establishing a transportation company, distributing winter coal to the refugees, everything is quite manly.
This is still the case after arriving in the new safety zone or the self-administered zone. Starting from persuading the fight, striking the market, suing the management office, reclaiming wasteland, and fighting for pastoral areas, none of them are for his own benefit.
If I had the choice, I would most likely support him as the secretary general or chairman of the alliance.I dare not say that it will be better than it is now, at least it will not get worse.It's a pity that I didn't catch up with the good time. These days, the straight is like a string and the side of the road is dead, and the twist is like a hook.
I am powerless to resist, if I want to live better, I can only be more ruthless than others, and kill whoever gets in the way.Unfortunately, Hong Tao happened to stand squarely in the middle of the road, and there was no possibility of getting out of the way.
"The target has appeared, there are seven people in total, and he is the tallest one riding the black horse!" Suddenly A Liang's whispered call came from the earphone.
The day before yesterday, I got a notice from Ah Jing, saying that Hong Tao announced in the court that he would go out of the city regularly to help the herdsmen divide the pastoral areas.This is a very good opportunity for action, much easier than sneaking into the self-administered area to assassinate.
So a group of people brought their equipment to the vicinity of Liangshui River the morning before yesterday, carefully observed the nearby terrain, chose two sniper spots and two retreat routes, and began to wait for the rabbit.
That's right, it's just waiting for a rabbit.The pasture area approved by the Union Government covers a large swath of wetland on both sides of the Liangshui River. The straight-line distance from north to south is more than three kilometers, and the east-to-west span is nearly ten kilometers.During this period, there were not only forests, building ruins, rivers and lakes, but also scattered immigration activities from Xinjiang and provinces.
In this case, the sniper cannot move freely with the target, and can only choose one or two fixed sniper spots to hide and wait for the target to come to his door.
After careful exploration and analysis, and weighing the pros and cons, Rupert finally chose two buildings on the east bank of the Liangshui River that were not too tall but had a wide view as sniper points.
There are towers with a wider view, but they cannot be chosen.Shooting from that position is convenient, but retreating is a bit difficult.Without an elevator, it would take a few minutes to run down the 1th floor. When every second counts, a minute could mean the difference between life and death.
Abandoning the west bank of the Liangshui River is also based on this consideration. If you have time to cross the river and retreat, it is better to stick to the east bank. Since it is a planned pastoral area, there is no reason to just wander around the west bank and completely abandon the east bank.
After two days of waiting, the target finally appeared. As an observation post, A Liang used a telescope on the top of a high-rise building near the blockade of the Fourth Ring Road to first discover the traces of Hong Tao and his party.
"Retreat immediately, and be careful along the way!" Jiang Songting rubbed his face that had been blown numb by the cold wind, and smiled a little embarrassed.
It's not easy. After squatting in the wild in early spring for two full days, the bones are cold.Fortunately, hard work is not in vain, no matter how cunning a fox is, it cannot escape the palm of a good hunter!
"Brother, I've arrived at the second observation point, and the target is moving south along the highway!" About 20 minutes later, Ah Liang's voice came again from the intercom, a little panting, mixed with excitement.
"Continue to observe, hold your breath, look carefully, and be sure to look for it!" Jiang Songting and Rupert are lying in ambush in a building on the west side of Hongbo Park, about one kilometer away from the river, surrounded by forests and wetlands. Not the group of people A Liang mentioned.
"Don't worry, once you see that guy's face, you will never forget it. He is the tallest among this group of people, so you can't go wrong!" Ah Liang did not underestimate the enemy. Hong Tao's appearance is indeed more distinctive, and his figure is also taller. , can be regarded as an obvious feature.
"Eh...they stopped...fuck, they went to the river!" But soon A Liang started cursing, bad luck, Hong Tao and his party did not continue east, but went west to the river.
"Don't panic, he's here to plan the pastoral area. It's normal to go to the river first. Keep calm and continue to monitor, don't act rashly. If he walks south along the river, it won't take long for him to enter the effective range of No. [-] , still can't escape!"
Hearing that the prey that was about to enter the trap changed its course, Jiang Songting felt a little bit lost.But he was much calmer than A Liang. There were two sniper spots on the east bank of the Liangshui River, Hongbo Park to the north, and Yizhuang Bridge to the south. No matter which sniper spot Hong Tao approached, the result would be the same.
Now he just wants to complete the task quickly, get the medicine and a new identity, leave this land that has not left a good impression safely, and start a new life in a place that no one knows.It doesn't matter if you can kill your enemies with your hands!
As the saying goes, good things never come. After Hong Tao and his party went to the river, they stopped moving. From A Liang’s position, they could only vaguely see a few people running around in the bare and hard wetland through the branches, pulling the rope for a while. They nailed wooden stakes, but it was hard to see whether there was Hong Tao among them.
"Brother, there is another group of people here, more than a dozen people, and they drove an excavator, as if they were cutting down trees..." About an hour later, A Liang discovered something new, and a car came from the north. After the crawler excavator joined Hong Tao's group, the surrounding trees began to fall one by one.
"Hey... Do you think we should kill him or not? Officials who can accompany the refugees to the wasteland to plan the pastoral area in person are not rare, and I have never seen them. There is no ostentation. The people in the self-management area are really Good luck.
I also longed for this kind of life before, and fantasized that people who have been cleansed by the zombie disease can be purer and stop being the same as in the old world, but it is a pity that I have not seen the difference until now, it seems a bit late..."
Jiang Songting couldn't see the excavator, but he could imagine it.These later people should have nothing to do with machines and assassinations. They are here to help clear the woods.
With mechanical assistance, you can run rampant here, and the work of planning pastoral areas will be much smoother.Anyway, we will focus on pasture planting in the future. Too many forests are useless, and we will have to clear them sooner or later.
But these are not the key points. Jiang Songting expressed his sincere admiration for Hong Tao's willingness to come out alone to solve practical problems for the refugees.Although it is only a judge of the self-administered district, anyone who understands knows in his heart that the self-administered district has grown from scratch to growth. Even though it cannot do without the efforts of many people, there is only one most critical person.
"Brother, the third, fifth, sixth and seventh children were all killed by him!" A Liang is not a delicate person, he is more straightforward, whoever is good for him is good, and vice versa is bad.As for the overall situation and right or wrong, I seldom think about it, and I feel a little anxious when I hear this inner monologue.
"Ah Liang, do you think we will die here too?" Jiang Songting suddenly had a bad feeling, but he couldn't tell where it came from.
"...Are you still worried about that bitch? Didn't we already arrange it in advance, if she dares to turn her face and deny her, we will go to sea first, and then find a chance to get the reward back."
It's a pity that A Lianghui was wrong, thinking that Jiang Songting was worried about the future.Regarding the way of evacuation, I discussed with Ah Jing one way, but the real way out was another.It's not a day or two for everyone to cooperate. If you don't have this kind of brain, you probably won't be able to live today.
"Let's have something to eat first. Anyway, today is the time when the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. Whether it is good or bad is left to God to worry about, no matter what!"
Shaking his head vigorously, throwing out all his wild thoughts, Jiang Songting quickly returned to normal.He is not an indecisive character, even if he has any ideas, after so many years of tempering, they have basically been polished, and the rest are all ruthless.Not only for others, but also for yourself.
As for whether there was an accident on Ah Jing's side, no one can make a conclusion at present.When the gunshots sounded and the figure fell, the final result would be revealed, and it was clear at a glance who was the winner and who was the loser.
Chapter 1101
Near noon, more than a dozen people who had been wandering by the river slowly moved eastward.With the excavator opening the way, people no longer need to detour, and follow behind along the dirt path rolled out by the crawler to Hongbo Park.
This morning's work progressed fairly well. Judge Hong was capable. He discovered a key problem when he arrived at the river. There were too many trees in some places, especially the thorny bushes, which greatly hindered walking.
It is too slow and laborious to clean up by manpower, so there is a move to rent an excavator with a construction company.If it were someone else, let alone whether they could think of this way, even if they thought of it, they might not be able to rent it.And Judge Hong just said a few words casually with the walkie-talkie, and the other party didn't even talk about the price.
But, Judge Hong also had annoying times when he insisted on driving the excavator himself, and he wasn't very good at it. It took nearly two hours for nothing just to learn how to use the bucket.
But who can stop this person's obsession? Just wait, as long as the excavator is here, it doesn't matter if you waste another two hours.Those bushes as tall as half a person are full of grass in front of the excavator, and they can be uprooted with a shovel. They only need to be piled up and burned to ashes are good fertilizers.
"Crack... bang... bang... bang!" It wasn't that no one could stop Judge Hong's stubbornness, a clear and distant voice sounded, and then the excavator suddenly stopped.Immediately afterwards there was another crisp sound, without the roar of the machine, everyone noticed that something seemed to hit the glass of the cab.
"There are assassins! There are assassins! Someone assassinated the judge..." When Shen Wansan saw a lot of dark red liquid on the glass, he immediately dropped the rope that was pulling the bushes in his hand, and rushed up in three and two steps.
The moment the cockpit door was opened, there was a shrill howl, and at the same time, he grabbed the person inside and rolled off the excavator. Regardless of the pain of falling on the ground, he pulled Hong Tao who had not moved to hide on the side of the track. .
"It's over...they're done!" Jiang Yang, who was having lunch in the canteen of the self-administered district committee, held up the walkie-talkie and looked at Zhang Weiping in a daze, repeating two words in his mouth, and didn't know that the stainless steel rice bowl in his hand fell on the ground. , Seeing that the staff next to him were a little overwhelmed.
"Director Jiang, is there something uncomfortable... Hurry up and send him to the hospital!" Zhang Weiping stepped over and reached out to support Jiang Yang who was shaking a little bit.He touched his head first, it wasn't hot, then he shook his fingers, well, his eyes didn't respond, it couldn't be a stroke!
"They assassinated Judge Hong! They shot and killed Judge Hong! Despicable, shameless! Quick, quick, go to the police, call the police in the whole district. Soon they will attack us, we can't stay here, we have to rush out, Back to Xinjiang Province..."
Suddenly, Jiang Yang came back to life, his eyes widened, his throat was opened, his hands clenched into fists, and he shouted loudly at the people present.
"Dingling... Dingling..." In the huge office in the basement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Lin Na closed the folder, took off her glasses, and stretched her waist to look at her watch.
It's almost time for lunch. I heard that there are dumplings for lunch. The two little ancestors in the family love to eat them most. They order more and send them back. Not only are they available for lunch, but they are also fried until they are browned on both sides at night, so they don't even need to make dinner.But before he could decide what to buy, the intercom phone on the desk rang suddenly.
"Hello, I'm Lin Na...Say it again, and say every word clearly!" This phone is connected to the switchboard in the duty room, and only outside lines can be connected through it.Lin Na had no choice but to sit down, suppressing her impatience to make her voice appear calm.
But after only a few seconds of listening, the beautiful face began to distort, and she couldn't care less about her calm demeanor, and gnashed her teeth and yelled at the microphone.Except for a few veteran members of the rescue team, no one in the league has ever heard the coloratura soprano of the spy chief.
"Sabalin, listen to me clearly, and wait for me at the scene immediately. If there is a sentence that is not true, it will be useless for anyone to intervene. Wash your ass and wait to go to jail...Bastard, bang!"
Maybe he thought the movement was not loud enough. After roaring and shouting the last word, the microphone was thrown heavily on the table again, and the already aging plastic shell broke into several pieces.
"Squeak...Godmother...who messed with you?" Ten seconds later, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Lan Yu'er got half of her head in, wondering at the broken microphone.
"...Close the door, and gather the gendarmerie squadron and the armored convoy to go out with me immediately! Also, use the secret radio to inform your godfather... Hong Tao was assassinated near Hongbo Park, shot in the head, and has no signs of life.
Let him control his emotions, transfer the air service regiment to the base to maintain order, and then send quick-reaction troops to surround the self-administered area to prevent accidents. "
After taking a deep breath for several seconds, Lin Na calmed down her violently heaving chest, endured it for a few more seconds, and waited for the blood to return to her brain before issuing orders, not only for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but also for the Ministry of Armed Forces. the best choice.
At the same time, he got up and walked to the iron file cabinet in the corner, took out the key and opened the door.What's inside is not documents, but a complete set of combat uniforms, including bulletproof vests, tactical helmets and automatic rifles, magazines, and bullets.
"He, he was assassinated... They did it!? Are you going to go to war?" Lan Yu'er was dumbfounded, she looked similar to Jiang Yang, and asked questions one after another, but her feet were like nails On the ground, not half an inch moved.
"What does it look like! Don't forget, you are an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, not an ordinary person. The more you are in an emergency, the more calm you should be. Remember, be fully armed, and the armored vehicle has enough shells!" Lin Na stared back fiercely while taking off her clothes. Lan Yuer once again emphasized what to do and what not to do at this time.
"Oh, it's... ouch..." Glared at by her godmother, Lan Yu'er finally woke up from the shutdown state, turned around and ran outside, but bumped her head against the door, ignoring the pain. Dare to complain, opened the door and rushed out.
It was a mess, and in less than half an hour, the entire alliance base was in chaos.The heads of various departments received phone calls or radio notifications one after another. The content was the same. Hong Tao was assassinated at noon today. He was shot in the head and died on the spot. The murderer is at large!
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has been fully mobilized. Police with white armbands and plainclothes with red armbands appear at every intersection from the base to the safe zone, strictly checking the passing personnel.Minister Lin Na personally led the gendarmerie and armored convoy to the scene of the incident, but there is no news yet.
The Armed Forces also took action almost at the same time. The vanguard of the Air Service Regiment had already landed on Chang'an Avenue by transport plane, and gradually took over the security work of various key departments.The follow-up troops are carrying heavy weapons and following the armored battalion along the road to the main base.
At the same time, the quick-reaction troops stationed in the security zone in the south of the city also left the camp in an organized manner, and approached the self-administered zone in three ways.Tanks, armored vehicles, self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and heavily armed soldiers with serious expressions made everyone along the way feel a little tense.
All the troops near the capital, including the reserve troops, were ordered to be on alert level two!This means canceling the vacation and staying on standby, sealing off the camp area and cutting off all external communication, and only keeping two special wartime channels, which are directly connected to the office of the minister and the office of the chief of staff.
Prior to this, the piercing air defense sirens had already sounded in the self-administered area.At first there was only one, but it quickly became a series, causing panic at checkpoints across the border, and none of them knew what was going on.
But soon they knew why. The refugees in the self-administered area began to gather on a large scale without warning. No matter men, women, old or young, most of them had weapons in their hands, including guns, knives, agricultural tools and wooden sticks.
Now the security team panicked. They had standard weapons and were equipped with light machine guns, but they couldn't handle the large number of refugees, and they hadn't received any orders from their superiors. No one was sure whether they could shoot or not.
But you can't just wait there and do nothing but report to your superiors.If anyone's fingers trembled and the already tense atmosphere was detonated, the scene would be very tragic.
The security team is only responsible for daily security, not an anti-explosion unit. They have no ability or experience to face such a complicated situation. The 36th plan is the best strategy. Let's withdraw first, because the sky will fall and there will be a tall man to support it.
Chapter 1102
Fortunately, the rapid reaction force was encountered just after withdrawing to the South Fourth District, otherwise it would really lead to chaos. Once the refugees from Xinjiang Province rushed into the South Fifth District, they would engulf tens of thousands of refugees living here. The quick reaction force may not be able to stop it.
However, this abnormal phenomenon still affected the safe area, especially the fifth area adjacent to the autonomous area.After several months of running-in, everyone has become accustomed to the existence of the self-administered area, especially when shopping, it is natural to compare the prices and quality of the two markets of Great Ocean Road and Crossroads before making a decision.
It was fine before lunch, but there were people coming and going at the checkpoints. How could the time for a meal be so messed up? Who on earth offended the immigrants from Xinjiang and provinces, and why were they so angry?
As the saying goes, if you want others to know you have to do nothing, there is no impenetrable wall in the world!Someone who was interested ran over to ask before the checkpoint was closed, and then ran back like a gust of wind, his face full of disbelief and horror.
Even if they don't have a deep hole in their chest, don't expect to make great achievements, neglect to calculate the general situation, and are just ordinary refugees, they are extremely disturbed by this news.Hong Tao, the former chairman of the revival alliance and the current judge of the self-administered district committee, was assassinated to death not long ago!
The news of Hong Tao's assassination was faster than the armored vehicles of the quick reaction force, and it spread to the fourth district in less than half an hour.But there were a few people who didn't need to listen to the rumors, they gathered in Shen Nan's office ahead of time, guessing from the density of the smog that they should have been smoking for a while.
"Thirteen old friends from the north and east safety zones have given a clear answer that they are willing to participate in this denunciation, but they will not use violence. At present, [-] directors are rushing to the safety zones, and we should do the same. Finally decided.
Ladies and gentlemen, my opinion with Feihu is that we don't force it, but those who don't participate can't leave this place for the time being.No other meaning, just to ensure everyone's safety.Let me express my opinion first, to participate, on behalf of the [-] Korean refugees living in the safe zone! "
The door opened gently, and Mrs. Xiushan walked in slowly.She dressed up very carefully today, and even put on the kimono at the bottom of the box.But what caught everyone's attention was not the ethnic costumes, but the message in her hand.
"Count me in, is it too many, 300 people is a lot, and there will be another [-] more in two hours!" Sun Feihu's attire is also different from usual, all in military uniform, with an armed belt around his waist, but with a big bald head Too ruined the image, looks a bit like a mountain sculpture.
"200 people, I will lead the team and let Ah Nan take care of the house!" The second person to express his opinion was the master, and he pressed Shen Nan on the seat with his eyes.
"... Well, the business has just picked up a bit, so why bother. 200 people, and there may be merchants joining in the later period, I will try my best to mobilize." Seeing that the three biggest forces in the Nancheng Safety Zone have all expressed their views, Bai Side thought You can't shrink back, you can only follow up by gritting your teeth and stomping your feet.
Regarding this matter, the opinions of the foreign survivors' groups are relatively opposite, some support and some oppose, and so far no standard answer has been given, and he can only make up his own mind.
"400 people are guaranteed, including men, women and children, and if necessary, there are a hundred carriages!" Before Bai Side could continue to complain, Wang Gang jumped up.There was no seriousness, restlessness or hesitation on his face, it was full of excitement.
"Why didn't Manager Hu come?" Mrs. Xiushan frowned. This kind of thing is not a game. It's good to have a positive attitude, but there is a problem if you are too excited.
Ping An Transportation Company has developed rapidly in the past six months. If the number of members is counted, it has surpassed Feihu Construction Company and has become the largest force in the southern safety zone.
However, Hu Yang paid great attention to his low-key behavior, and he did not become complacent because of his growing strength, let alone bullying others.Apart from continuing to compete secretly with the Zhongyi and Changfeng transportation companies, there is basically no friction with other forces in the safe zone.
It is inappropriate to send a deputy manager here to show off his strength while encountering such a big matter right now, but Hu Yang has disappeared.Although Wang Gang is the deputy manager, he is mainly responsible for the operation of the fleet and cannot fully represent the attitude of the transportation company.
"Brother Hu took someone to Langfang in the morning. He said he met an officer there who looked after the factory. He didn't come in a hurry during the Chinese New Year. He wanted to pay his respects. He already knew about Brother Hong, and he should be on his way back. Before I come back, I will be in charge of the company's affairs for the time being."
Seeing the distrustful eyes of most of the people present, Wang Gang stood up angrily, took off the walkie-talkie from his belt, and planned to contact Hu Yang on the spot as a proof.
"Brother Wang, let's just verify. Mrs. Xiushan has no other intentions. It's just that this matter involves too many aspects. It concerns the lives and wealth of many people. I can't be careless. Compared with you, I am not much better.
Most people call me a human trafficker behind their backs, saying that I grew up by drinking the blood of refugees.But anyway, I also left half of the life money for the refugees, and I didn't kill them all. Compared with those officials, I was much kinder.
Although I am not very familiar with Judge Hong, I also know that he is sincerely for the benefit of the refugees.Why I can't figure it out all the time, let's pretend that there are really good people in this world.I can't compare with him in this life, but I know in my heart that it's good or bad.
Just bullying and bullying is fine, but now it's a good thing, and assassination is actually playing.If things go on like this, anyone who disobeys will be killed in the future, and we will all have a hard time.
Even if it is for myself, I can't stand aside and watch the excitement. I sent 80 people, which is a little small. Don't be disgusted, this is all the property of Shunfa Company, and it is right to give Judge Hong a ride! "
No one answered the walkie-talkie, and the scene became a bit awkward.At this time, the man standing in front of the window turned his head, stepped forward to press Wang Gang's arm, put the walkie-talkie back, and then expressed his opinion to the whole room.
AWB
