"It's that simple? Can you really forget about it?" Bungy was skeptical about the comfort and guidance, and at the same time had to say inwardly, the hero is really extraordinary!A few people who had never met before killed as soon as they said they would kill, and afterwards they were able to act like normal people without even thinking about it!
"When I was sleeping at night, I thought slowly... Sir, good afternoon! This trip is to deliver machines to the alliance factory, and I didn't bring back any special products. Let's try a badger. Don't look at this ugly thing. It tastes great!"
In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the checkpoint on the Fourth Ring Road. Two soldiers with live ammunition stood behind the horse with no expression on their faces. The atmosphere was indeed a little different from the past.But Hong Tao couldn't be different, he was as usual as he was now, as if he didn't see anything.
"Old man Zhou, I advise you not to eat indiscriminately. If you eat something wrong, you will be in trouble! Come on, get off the station and go to the side..." The squad leader on the watchtower poked his head out to reject the small gift, and then After waving his hands, two more soldiers walked out and began to inspect the carriage.
"Sir, what's the matter today, the empty trains have to be inspected!" Hong Tao obediently got off the station a few meters away with the badger in his hands, but his mouth remained open.
"You don't know yet, something serious has happened in the safe zone in the east of the city. A transport convoy like yours was killed and more than a dozen drivers were killed. There is an order from above to strictly investigate every entry and exit!"
The squad leader didn't mind talking nonsense with a homeless person, so he lay on the edge of the watchtower and asked questions and answered them.However, his hands are not as comfortable as his face. He tightly holds a Type 95 assault rifle, the bullets are loaded and safe, and he is ready to fire at any time.
"Tsk tsk tsk, look, this job is not easy to do! Not to mention the wind, rain, frost, and sun, and there are wild animals outside, and it is not safe to go home. It is not easy to earn some money."
Regarding the news, Hong Tao didn't feel sorry for the deceased, but just took the opportunity to tell about the difficulties in the transportation industry.It sounds like the words are full of indifference, even if it is not gloating, it is very abnormal.
But this is exactly Hong Tao's cunning, sympathy overflows, and the world where cats and dogs are killed with compassion has gone with the outbreak of the zombie disease and will never return.The reason why the survivors are called survivors is that they survived from tens of thousands of people, and they have been struggling to survive for more than ten years.
Even children of a few years old are used to life and death and the cruelty of the world. Not to mention just rumors, even standing in front of a pile of dead bodies, apart from instinctively feeling nausea and fear, there is really no sympathy at all. Woke up.
The refugees are even worse. They are living at the bottom. If they are full today, they may not be hungry tomorrow. Who has never seen the same kind of people starve to death or die in front of their eyes?Indifference is nature, and shedding tears for others is accidental.
In less than 10 minutes, the two carriages and four drivers were all searched.The harvest is not insignificant.The soldiers found a lot of wires, batteries, cigarettes, and expired medicines from under the tarpaulin, under the board, and from the driver's arms.
No need to talk nonsense, confiscated everything, and then refused to let the horse pass under the angry eyes and whispers of the coachmen, and then told them with righteous words that this kind of behavior is expressly prohibited by the alliance, and next time it must be severely punished!
"Do you see any problems?" The carriage walked away, and the two soldiers who had been standing behind the squad leader slowly approached, took off the goggles on their faces, and asked while rubbing their hands drenched in the cold wind.
"Every time they go in and out, they bring back something from the outside and sell it in the market."
The squad leader shook his head. For some reason today, the two officers ran over early to change into soldiers' clothes and waited. They ordered themselves to strictly check the carriage and carefully consider the abnormal behavior.
"It's not about carrying contraband, but about whether their demeanor and speech are different from usual!" Another soldier had already unbuttoned his coat, revealing the light blue uniform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"...No..." The squad leader thought about it carefully, but still shook his head.
From the carriage to the driver is quite normal, and the time of the freight bill and the pass is roughly the same.Besides, we are just sentinels, who can wonder whether other people are criminals like the Ministry of Internal Affairs all day long!
"I don't think it's nothing. There are also drivers from the North City Safety Zone near the air crew station to help transport supplies. I am also responsible for some logistics work and have contacted them. How should I put it, they look honest and honest, but they are actually not fuel-efficient lamps. Someone once Bribing the sentry, trying to get some bullets to go."
Another soldier also took off his coat. He was still wearing a military uniform underneath, but the style, color and logo were different. The small parachute represented the Union Air Force Special Service Regiment.
Wang Jian and Sergeant Major Sun personally went to the watchtower to observe the first-hand information. These are the four suspects who have never been seen so far.But the observation results were not ideal. Judging from the behavior of the coachmen, it seemed that they really didn't know what happened here, otherwise they wouldn't bring back contraband.
"How did they answer when they checked the walkie-talkie just now?" Wang Jian frowned and walked around the watchtower twice, then remembered a question, and leaned out to ask the soldiers below.
"Report, their walkie-talkie is not turned on...the battery is too expensive and hard to find, and they are reluctant to use it at ordinary times!" The soldiers turned around, raised their heads, saluted, and answered. The movements were done in one go, and the voice was clear and loud.
"Damn... Sergeant Major Sun, let's go back. Squad Leader Li, thank you for your cooperation!"
Regarding this answer, Wang Jian also couldn't find any flaws. No one stipulated that the walkie-talkie must be turned on if it is equipped with it. In fact, if the refugees really turned on the walkie-talkie 24 hours a day, then there would be a problem.
But he wasn't annoyed because the operation didn't yield any results. This is how detection work works. In addition to a rigorous attitude and meticulous logical thinking, he also needs to have very, very good patience.
"We will be withdrawing tomorrow. According to the observation results of the past few days, their behavior is quite normal, and they don't look like murderers." Walking down the watchtower, the two got into a military-painted carriage behind them.
Sergeant Sun expressed his opinion on the monitoring results of the past few days. In his opinion, there may be some problems with Wang Jian's detection direction, and he should not be hanged on a tree in the Ping An Transportation Company. Sometimes the most suspected ones are not criminals. .
"Just wait and see, don't be in a hurry... Tomorrow night I will be entertaining guests in the Third Ring Entertainment City. This time, thanks to your assistance, the investigation of the closed area has progressed so smoothly. Don't refuse, it's just you and me , just have a drink!"
Wang Jian's heart was also a little loose. After a comprehensive search and separate interrogation, neither weapons and ammunition related to the crime scene nor any valuable clues were found in the premises of the Ping An Transportation Company.The most important thing is that they don't have time to commit crimes yet, so they really shouldn't focus all their attention on this.
But besides Ping An Transportation Company, who else would slaughter the members of the Tiancheng Transportation Team?Internal disputes between Changfeng and Zhongyi Transportation Company?It's possible, but these days the team that arranged to monitor Sun Changzhong didn't find any clues related to the case.
"Humph... Little boy, you're still young to play this game with me!" Wang Jian really didn't expect that he observed the prey in the dark, but in the end, he was observed by the prey in turn.
Just when he and Sergeant Sun's carriage passed in front of the small building of the Ping An Transportation Company, a pair of big eyes were peeking out through the air-conditioning hole on the wall, clearly capturing their faces and clothing. In the eyes.
"The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the army have been dispatched, Sun Changzhong really has a lot of face!" Hong Tao recognized that the guy wearing the uniform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was the same Wang Jian he met at the three-person inn last time.
I didn't recognize the man in military uniform next to him, but the little parachute logo on his uniform looked familiar.It's just that I can't be sure. When I left that year, the paratroopers had just been established, and they didn't even have a fixed uniform, let alone a special logo.
As for the name of the Air Service Regiment, it was only mentioned by Zhou Yuan a few times when they were in Xinjiang Province. It seemed that they were elite soldiers selected from the paratroopers, and they were regarded as the special operations sharp knife of the alliance army.
Chapter 755
"These two guys are not among our interrogators!" In addition to Hong Tao, Hu Yang was also lying on the small hole next to him holding his binoculars.
"Your level doesn't require them to do it yourself..." Hong Tao had just heard a brief talk from Hu Yang about being taken away by the security team and being interrogated separately in the basement of the management office.
"By the way, I figured that you would come back in the next two days, and you kept calling, why didn't you reply?" But Hu Yang didn't quite know what happened so far, and his mind was full of muddleheadedness.
"Understood, I didn't reply on purpose. Remember when I said that the Alliance is no better than the Redeemer, they have high technology to monitor radio communications?"
Hong Tao grinned, and received a call from Xiao Ma when he was more than 60 kilometers away from the Fourth Ring Road. After thinking for a while, he didn't reply and turned off the phone.
I don't have the ability to predict the enemy thousands of miles away, but I have the vigilance comparable to a mouse and the determination to ensure safety even if I am not afraid of trouble.When the walkie-talkie channel was first set, a set of usage methods was stipulated, and a simple encryption process was also done.
The method is very simple, 8 of the 7 fixed channels are used in rotation every week according to the date from [-] to [-], and the eighth special channel call will be activated only when the situation is particularly urgent or involuntary.
Populus euphratica and the others may not be very smart, but they can still remember the channel usage rules.The channel used for this call is the daily communication channel, so it can be seen that there is nothing too urgent.Now that this is the case, there is no need to talk on the walkie-talkie at the risk of being monitored, and it will not be too late to talk about things after meeting.
"...Why do I feel that you are becoming more and more like a spy!"
Hu Yang was convinced, he really didn't understand what this hero was thinking about all day long, how could he pretend to be so many and complicated things.If it was me, I would have messed up without waiting for others to interrogate.
"Well, I was sent by the zombies to infiltrate human beings to gain your trust, and then lead the zombie army to attack by surprise, dig out your brains and eat them. It's useless to keep them anyway, it's a waste!
It's done, stop playing nonsense, let's talk about how the family is doing these days, what happened.What is the attitude of Sun Feihu and Mrs. Xiushan, and what is the reaction from Sun Changzhong? "
After so many years, Hong Tao was a little dazed when he heard someone make the same evaluation of him again, as if he had returned to that busy and extremely warm time.But sensibility is already a luxury for him, and it will be consumed after a few seconds, and he will re-enter the rational mode.
It is useless to know that Populus euphratica and the others have been arrested and are gritting their teeth. In the half a month since I left, what happened in the safe zone and how the parties reacted must be understood in detail before I can make a corresponding judgment and then make a decision. How to go next step.
"Is that so... Are you afraid? If you knew there would be so much trouble, if you were given another chance, would you still choose to work as a transportation company?"
The two squatted in the stairwell and had a detailed conversation, one talking and listening to the other. After half an hour, Hu Yang finished talking, and Hong Tao also picked and picked and listened.No comments, just an unrelated question.
"Hehehe, I guessed that you were the one who did it... This is nothing troublesome, it's much more comfortable than living in Xinjiang Province, and you still have to choose ten more times!" Seeing Hong Tao's calm face, Hu Yang grinned.
Ever since he heard that the Tiancheng transportation team was killed in various ways, he guessed that it was this hero who did it, but he couldn't be sure.Now that I'm not running, I feel at ease.As long as this hero is willing to make a move, the Redeemer base will go in as soon as it is said, and Sun Changzhong is just a fart!
"It's fine if you don't regret it... Send a letter to Shouhou later, asking him to take a trip to the Limin motorcade and bring back what I want." Seeing Hu Yang's carefree and fearless expression, Hong Tao I am also relieved.
If the gold diggers want to live a stable life, then they don't have to worry about it.With this lesson learned, Sun Changzhong should be willing to sit at the negotiating table and chat calmly.
There is no need for Ping An Transportation Company to control the entire industry. If everyone comes to a gentleman's agreement, they can live in peace for half a year or eight months, maybe even longer.
If Hu Yang and the others didn't let the little days in front of them soften their bones and weaken their guts, and they were willing to fight to find a better way out for the future, they would continue to toss and treat those rotten sores that were not pleasing to the eye and relapsed. Dig clean.
Of course, in the process of digging up rotten sores, there is also a high possibility that you will die before you start your mission. You will have to pay a price for everything, and the more you expect, the higher the price.
"...The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the army are still there. Do you need to wait for the news to pass?" Hu Yang hesitated this time. Before Hong Tao asked Shouhou to deliver the goods, he went to contact Tong Limin calmly, as if he wanted to inquire. The details of Tiancheng Transportation Team and Sun Changzhong's group.
Now the Tiancheng transportation team is basically disabled, only Sun Changzhong and his group are left to deal with.But it seems a bit unwise to act at this time, and it is too disregarding the alliance, which is likely to trigger a larger-scale raid.
"The more it is at this time, the more it will muddy the water! The reason why they didn't really arrest us is that they can't figure out the details and can't determine the suspicion. If we stop at this time and wait for others to leave and reappear, it is not obvious that we have taken the initiative. Admit it.
Now we must be monitored, maybe there are countless pairs of eyes staring at us day and night.Well, let them be witnesses to prove our innocence!
Don't ask or ponder about this matter, managing the company well and doing business well is the greatest support for me.Oh yes, tell the brothers, do not enter or leave the channel below no matter day or night, wait for my notice when it will be available! "
In terms of how to evade detection, hunt down and pretend to be a grandson, Hong Tao can already do it perfectly without any assistance. As for whether he is afraid of triggering the anger of the alliance, is it useful?If he was afraid, he shouldn't have contacted Youlong Company in the first place, let alone join the transportation company.
Whether it is the Tiancheng transport team or Sun Changzhong and his group, they are still refugees after talking for a long time.It seems that the alliance's attitude towards them is quite tolerant, even surpassing the official residents of the base in some respects, but in essence they still use them.
Just like a hunting dog raised by a hunter, all kinds of care are just to catch more prey, not really treating the hunting dog as the same kind.Would the hunter care to change the hound if the prey would not be reduced?Maybe he will be happy because the new hunting dog is stronger, wipe away his tears and bury the dead running dog, and then go hunting happily.
Of course, hunters may prefer to let two hounds work together, so that more prey will be caught.But the reality doesn't seem to allow it. The two hounds pinch each other when they meet, which actually delays the serious business.
After a long time, hunters will definitely choose one of the two. What Hong Tao has to do now is to help the Alliance get a new hound, a stronger one, so as to avoid becoming the other one of the two.
The way... As a new hunting dog, it is a way to fully demonstrate its strength during the hunting process, but it is too slow to do so, and accidents will inevitably occur during the process.Maybe it was abandoned before it was fully demonstrated. After all, under the same conditions, the old hound still has an advantage.
So, not only do you have to change, but you have to make a quick decision. You don't give the old hound a chance to counterattack, and you don't give the hunter time to choose.When there is only one hound left, and the ability is not too bad, the multiple-choice questions become mandatory.
As for the fact that Wang Jian's Ministry of Internal Affairs is still waiting around for an opportunity, it is indeed an obstacle.But everything has two sides, and obstacles can become bunkers if they can be used well.With the testimony of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, let's see who can pour dirty water on Ping An Transportation Company!
But all of this depends on whether the information is accurate. At present, only Tong Limin can know the specific whereabouts of Sun Changzhong and his group. The most suitable ones to pass on the information are Shouhou and Water Snake.
These two guys hid very well. Everything that happened before had nothing to do with them. From the local forces to the security team, no one suspected that they had a connection with Ping An Company.
This time, Hong Tao didn't want to risk exposing the only ambush, so he didn't choose to meet alone, but went to the Great Ocean Road Market after two days of rest.
Chapter 756 Information First
"Boss Zhou! Come, come, come and have a look at my place. The cotton underwear that just arrived is new! How about motorcycle lights? Put two on the car, and you don't have to worry about potholes when you drive at night!"
The thin monkey is a little whiter than when he was at the Yining base, but he is not fat at all, and his eyes are still so treacherous. He noticed Hong Tao's approach from a long distance, and he greeted Hong Tao warmly without waiting for any expression. stand up.
To be honest, if the thin monkey didn't take the initiative to yell, Hong Tao might not be able to recognize him at the first sight if he took a face-to-face with him.After not seeing each other for more than a month, this guy completely changed his image.
In order to integrate into the current environment more easily, he deliberately cut his curly hair to a size, and tried to change his accent.The effect is not bad, it sounds like the strong mutton skewers are not so strong anymore.
On the other hand, Water Snake, apart from being more neatly dressed and a little calmer than when he first arrived, there is almost no change in other aspects, and his accent is even stronger.This is talent, not something you can learn right away if you want to learn it the day after tomorrow.
"Do you need to live... Do you have the information I want?" Hong Tao casually walked to the booth, picked up the electric light to check the inside and outside, and asked in a low voice while picking out the fault.
"Everything sold from me is not a bad one! Don't worry about using it, if it breaks within half a year, you will get a full refund... I just got it back last night!"
Thin Monkey is not only a born businessman, but also a born performing artist, or most businessmen are good at acting.I was thinking about other things in my mind, and I didn't delay my business at all, and I still had a professional smile on my face that I would kill you.
"I'll go to other stalls first, and I'll come back later...to see if there is a tail behind!" Like most refugees, Hong Tao is very cautious when buying things. than three.
But his real intention is not to select goods, but to exclude possible stalkers.Whether it has a tail or not, I really don't know.There are refugees on the streets and in the market, and everyone's attire and demeanor are similar. Even when 007 comes, it's hard to tell who is following him.
Hong Tao felt that the Ministry of Internal Affairs would definitely not be too anticlimactic. From the fact that Wang Jian and the members of the air crew went to the watchtower to observe his actions secretly, they probably had their eyes on the Ping An Transportation Company.To be precise, he should be targeting Hu Yang and his group, including himself.
If the Ministry of Internal Affairs really sent someone to watch him, he would not be able to show too strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, which would be very inconsistent with his status as a refugee, and would attract more attention and suspicion.
Suspecting that someone is following you but not being able to verify it yourself, is there really nothing you can do?No, it is indeed difficult to identify the stalker from the perspective of the stalked without being detected, but it is relatively easy to find some clues from the perspective of a bystander.
Didn't the ancients say that they didn't know the true face of Mount Lu only because they were in this mountain.Now the thin monkey and the water snake are the bystanders who jumped out of this mountain, and they just need to wander around, whether someone is watching or not will soon have the result.
Sure enough, Hong Tao only walked around one-fifth of the stalls in the market, and saw the water snake hanging the straw hat for warning on the stall.It's all in order, and there is a tail behind him. This result should not be considered a bad thing, but good news.
Then Hong Tao turned into a housewife, and walked around the stalls carefully.From food and drink to daily necessities to electrical tools, you can bargain with the stall owner for everything you see.
It's not just about looking but not buying. An hour later, he returned to Shouhou's booth with a bamboo pillow and two bottles of wine, and half a roasted rabbit leg in his mouth.
"Bring a screwdriver, I'll take it apart and have a look inside... Put the things away, I'll ask Zhu Maichen to come over and buy candles before dark, and give them to him as wrapping paper!" The target is still a motorcycle lamp, and I really want to buy it, but the information comes first. Do not trade.
"This is a precious item, who owns it if it's broken! If you don't buy things like this, how can we do business if everyone else is like you... The one in the back with the blue cotton hat is the tail!"
As soon as the thin monkey heard that it had to be dismantled before buying, the smile on his face disappeared immediately, and his voice was octave higher. He put on a face of a victim, rejected this unequal treaty, and won several booths around him. Serious support from the boss.
In the end, Hong Tao did not get the right to disassemble and check the internal components, but was only promised to return or replace if there was a quality problem within three months.As for the half-year shelf life just mentioned, the thin monkey turned his face and denied it!
"Words don't count... profiteers!" But no matter how long the shelf life is, you have to buy it, and only the Shouhou family sells this thing in the whole market, so there is no chance to shop around.
In fact, the motorcycle lights were refitted by Hong Tao and Fei Yang using a batch of fishing and hunting lights and small DC generators they found in the red zone. They were sold at Shouhou for almost two months, and the sales results were very mediocre.
Except for a few bicycles that need to travel at night, most drivers who run transportation will not buy it.Its brightness is not as good as that of a gas lamp, and its price is much more expensive than that of a horse lamp.
But after this quarrel, Hong Tao finally saw clearly who was following him.I have to say that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is really careful in its work. No matter how you look at it, the person selected is a homeless person. If someone is not watching carefully, it is really difficult to tell whether they are passers-by.
Originally, Hong Tao was extra cautious, afraid that he would be inspected, so he didn't let the thin monkey carry the information in the cargo.But all the way back to the small building, the expected sudden inspection did not come, and even the follower at the back disappeared without a trace.
This kind of miscalculation did not affect the acquisition of information. Before dinner, Hong Tao excused that he had no candles in his room, and gave Zhu Maichen some money to go to the Great Ocean Road Market to buy some back.
Don't worry that Zhu Maichen can't find a stall, and there is no need for him to look for it. The cheapest candle in the Great Ocean Road market is the water snake. This is already common sense among the displaced families nearby.
"Zhang Ruke...Chen Yaozu...hehehe, it's just you two, I want to see how I can solve this time!"
After dinner, Hong Tao returned to his room with a pack of candles, closed the curtains, read the small print on several layers of wrapping paper carefully by the oil lamp, and immediately had a new plan to deceive people in his mind.
In addition to obtaining the general activity pattern and address of Sun Changzhong's group from Tong Limin, Shouhou also met an employee of Antong Machinery Company through his communication skills, and reported the details together.
There are six main backbones of Sun Changzhong's group, Sun Changzhong, Sun Ning, Zhu Zhenrong, Jin Wenhui, Zhang Ruke, and Zhou Tong. They each hold a position and firmly control the main bodies of the two transportation companies, Changfeng and Zhongyi.
Among them, Sun Changzhong, Sun Ning, Zhu Zhenrong, and Jin Wenhui are sworn brothers. Apart from sitting in the company, they don’t wander around very much on weekdays. They occasionally go to the entertainment city on the third ring road to take a bath, have a meal, and then play a few games, but they come and go. Many people followed, it was not easy to start.
Moreover, these four guys all live upstairs in the company, which is too close to the alliance guard post, and there are staff from the Ministry of Transportation present during the day, so it is not easy to start.
In fact, Zhou Tong should not be counted in the top management. He is just a watcher. He can't make up his mind on any major issues. He doesn't have much influence in the transportation company. Even if he dies, he won't hurt his muscles and bones. .
Only Zhang Ruke is special. He is neither a confidant who started with Sun Changzhong, nor a watchdog like Zhou Tong. He rarely participates in company affairs, but his words are very useful. Even Sun Changzhong dare not be too perfunctory.
Why, Tong Limin is also not sure, so he can only make up with rumors.He said that Zhang Ruke is a glass, relying on a natural female appearance to have an affair with a senior official of the alliance.And this high-ranking official is also Sun Changzhong's backstage, which is why Zhang Ruke is the general manager.
Hong Tao didn't care whether Zhang Ruke was glass or who he was having an affair with, but his address gave Hong Tao some idea.The general manager of the Zhongyi Transportation Company did not live in the east safety zone, but had a small farm in the north safety zone, and rarely showed up at the company on weekdays.
To say that this kind of information belongs to the privacy of high-level officials, with Tong Limin's identity and status, there should be no way of knowing it.But, according to Tong Limin, Mr. Zhang is a bit high-profile and likes to show off. In addition to being well-dressed, he also has a very beautifully decorated carriage with all kinds of lights and sparkles.
