"Yellow Crane Tower Ruan 1916...you are going to Licheng again!" After a long time of reasoning, it didn't make any sense, but after seeing the whole pack of cigarettes, Populus euphratica basically believed it, and began to think about this high-end cigarette again. of origin.

"You are the frog in the well... No, it's a toad. After all, there is no other place to find cigarettes except Licheng? Don't worry about smoking. I don't know if it's true or not. The taste must be better than the Mohe cigarettes sold in the residential area." powerful."

Seeing Populus euphratica carefully holding the cigarette case, Hong Tao had mixed feelings, saying that people are poor and short-sighted, sincerity does not lie.The big man who was fearless a few months ago and dared to stand up to the Silver Wolf gang was almost tortured by three meals a day into a doormat without edges and corners.

At this time, the expectations in my heart, which were not too high, were lowered by three points, and I couldn't help but start to wonder if it was a matter of killing people to silence them if the talks failed.Anyway, before launching a sneak attack on the Redeemer's base, he must not reveal the news that he is still alive prematurely.

"Phew... I can't help it. I not only have to take care of myself, but I also have to drag the big guys to live together. They are all brothers who were born to die. They finally survived the zombie disease, but in the end they were starved to death. It's too wronged... ..."

Hu Yang also heard the ridicule and ridicule from the herdsman's mouth, and he must feel uncomfortable.But when I remembered that it was only a few days after everyone had eaten their fill, the grandeur suddenly disappeared, and they could only smoke with sullen heads, deflated most of the cigarette in one puff.

"Come on, tell me how you betrayed me!" Seeing that Hu Yang's mood had stabilized, Hong Tao reached out and took off his snow goggles to reveal his true colors.

Now his face is fancy, except for those memorable fox eyes, there is also a triangular scar on his forehead.Because there was no urgent suture at that time, the skin and flesh were tangled together when they healed, which was very ugly.

In addition, a lot of the skin on the left face has been rubbed off, which is a bit like the grain of granite. It looks very creepy without intentionally showing an evil smile. If you grin again, it feels like you want to eat people.

"We were all captured by the adjudicator..." Hu Yang saw the herdsman's face for the first time. He wanted to stare at it carefully, but when he glanced at it, his heart skipped a beat. He quickly lowered his head and pretended to be smoking. , and then told the original experience again.

"Oh, it's a good thing I've hurt you!" Hong Tao didn't care that others were afraid of him. On the contrary, he felt that his current face was much better than before the injury.It used to look lazy, greedy and slippery, but now it is a bit more mighty.That's right, he thinks it's mighty to be scary, even if it's a rudimentary one.

"No...we didn't say..." Hu Yang looked up again, his heart started to beat a little, and he felt that this person was here for revenge.

"If I say that I can make meritorious deeds and don't look into the past, do you want to do me a favor?" Looking at the big man who was a little stronger than himself in front of him, he was a little scared and at a loss. .

"...Brother Biles, can you just blame me, they really don't know anything." Hu Yang immediately understood this sentence, and at the same time, his face was ashamed, and his heart fell into a cold cellar.

If you don't agree, you will end up with Silver Wolf immediately.Resist, you might have had some guts a few months ago, but now you really don't have it.It's not that I was pressured by life, but that I didn't have the ability.

For more than two months, the adjudicators stationed at Sailimu Lake sometimes let themselves grill a piece of fish and grab some wild game to drink. After drinking too much, they often listened to them talk about their experience of hunting down the red-robed nun.

After listening to it, I came to the conclusion that Biges is not only a herdsman, but also the famous Yuluo.How could he be a mortal who made fun of the adjudicator, escaped from the siege of planes and tanks, and killed President Wacker!If you don't resist, you can still fall into a dead body, but if you resist, you will definitely die even worse.

Chapter 596 New plan

"I haven't said what to help, don't rush to refuse, listen to the conditions first. What's the point of living like this? When those officials get tired of eating fish, they can continue to support you. At that time, it's better to throw it away. No one cares about it, why not fight with me. If you lose, you will die, if you win, you can live a normal life, maybe you can marry a wife and have a baby."

Hong Tao interrupted Hu Yang's pleading with his hand, and began to fool around.If you want to say that the trick to fooling people is actually very simple, there are only four words, just do what you like.Everyone has something in particular they want, it's just not the same.

As long as this point is identified, and then try to depict the light and ignore the danger, it is basically more than half of the success.If you can gain some insight into human nature and craft your words and sentences, then you will be a master of flickering.

"...Even if you get the official account of the base, I'm afraid you won't be able to get in!" Hu Yang must not be a simple-minded idiot with well-developed limbs to be a small boss among the gold diggers, and he has no illusions about this rhetoric. That is to say, I dare not resist this person, if it were someone else, I would not even bother to listen.

"You didn't think about what you said. The more the Redeemer hates me, the more he is afraid of me. Believe it or not, if I voluntarily surrender now, and then tell the truth about the rebel army, I will be able to get lost in the Penance Church if I fail to do so." It's not a low position, and the vice president is not impossible."

But in Hong Tao's eyes, the smarter you are, the easier it is to fool you. They will think and associate with your words.It would be troublesome if you run into a tendon like Dajiang and Dali. They won't understand what you say, let alone think about it.

In fact, there are only two kinds of people who are the most difficult to fool. One is well-informed and the other has no desires.Dajiang and Dali belong to the latter, while those like himself belong to the former.

Everyone else is in the flickering category, it's nothing more than whether you can accurately find their desire point, and whether you can provide at least a plausible possibility.

"..." Hu Yang felt a little dark in front of his eyes, whether it was Yuluo or Biges, the image in his mind collapsed in an instant, and even the slightest hope for the future was also shattered.

"But I don't want to surrender to the Redeemer. On the contrary, I want to harm them. However, in my capacity, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get close to the base, so I need your help. It's not in vain. The more you give, the more you will gain. When It’s the same with gold diggers, and it’s the same with life.”

"You help me bring some things through the checkpoint, and I'll give you a human life after it's done, which is fair and reasonable. Pay attention, it's a human life, and you work hard to get the means of living and the necessary respect. Of course, it may also include daughter-in-law, Children and family, but it depends on one's ability." With this look of despair, Hong Tao felt more hopeful.

As long as people still know good and bad, and shame, they can be saved.Then go on fooling around, this time it's all good, exactly the same as the doctrine of being full of honey and being surrounded by virgins, or calling the local tyrants in disguise to divide the land and be the masters of the house.Whether it can be realized is not important, but whether it can make people yearn for is the key.

"Hehe, unless you are a bishop..." To be honest, Hu Yang was tempted, or all refugees would be tempted, but he didn't believe it, not a word of it.

"Look, if you say you are a toad at the bottom of a well, you have to call twice to prove it. Did I mention that you are here? Is there only one Redeemer base in the world that can live?"

"Just help me transport things in, and when I finish harming those guys who eat people and don't spit out bones, I will take you and your brothers who were born and died to live in the East Asian Union. You may not believe it when you say it. If you are an official, even if you can't become an official resident, it's okay to get enough food and clothing in the refugee area."

If Hu Yang immediately expressed his belief and was willing to follow him wholeheartedly, Hong Tao would shoot him right away.Who are you fooling?Make sure you're not holding back your fart, you're planning to really betray me once!

"East, East Asia Alliance... Are they really better than here?" He said a lot of nonsense, but it was actually a foreshadowing, just to make Hu Yang fall into the [-]th level of hell first.Only when people are infinitely close to despair, the effect of reversal will be more obvious.

At this time, Populus euphratica was caught, and the light in his eyes was different from before.Although he didn't fully believe what he said, he was willing to follow Hong Tao's train of thought.

"Where do you think my inexhaustible weapons and inexhaustible supplies come from? I think back then I was just like you in Hami working as a coolie for others. My waist was almost broken and I couldn't get a piece of it." Have a full meal."

Let's start, the story will begin.This is the time to tell a story that sounds realistic and empathetic when you think about it.It cannot be all good, there must be some helplessness and sadness.

"...Brother, since you are a member of the East Asian Alliance and have done so many things for them, why can't you get a resident status?" Hu Yang was already a little convinced, because it was too logical.

How could a person have such a great ability? It would make sense if there was a big force behind him to support him.But the years of his career as a gold digger made him develop the habit of not trusting people, and he soon found an obvious loophole in this rhetoric.

"Hey, I have to blame myself for this. I was too careful back then, for fear of being used as a gunman, so I didn't agree to join the group and became a non-staff. The main reason is to be free and not have to listen to everything People yelled. Although I got less supplies, it was enough for me alone.”

"I thought I was smart at the time, but now that I think about it, I'm a fool. After so many years of life, I'm still a temporary worker. If I want to become an official resident, I have to wait in line from the beginning."

"People, often can't see so far. Many things can only be understood through experience. It's useless to just think about it. Now that I've talked about this, I might as well reveal a little more. The Redeemer doesn't have many good days. I'm afraid It's bad luck if you don't wait until winter comes again.

At that time, this place will be managed by others, and you and I are still outsiders, and there is no good fruit to eat.It's better to make a plan for the future, even if you are fooling around, you have to hang out with the real big head, why do you have to be the younger brother of the younger brother's younger brother here, do you think it makes sense? "

What a loophole, since Hong Tao started to make up the story, every plot in it has been carefully deliberated.Some places have to sell a loophole, and the nonsense that is too tight will become a nonsense. It sounds very fake and there is no sense of participation.

Now let Hu Yang point out the loopholes, and then explain it to him in a simple way, and guess what?Hu Yang will take the initiative to bring in, taking his own stories and explanations as his understanding.

As long as this step is completed, if someone objects, he will help himself to fight with others, and he will refuse to admit his mistake to the death.Most people have this kind of thinking inertia. At this time, they are no longer debating the facts, but protecting their own dignity, and don't want to be called a brainless idiot.

Hu Yang took another cigarette out of the pack and lit it. As for whether the pack of cigarettes was expensive or whether he should keep it for food, he could no longer think about it. He was in the midst of a battle between heaven and man, constantly analyzing True and false and pros and cons.

"I... don't know if I can help... The big nun's people won't let us enter the base at all. At most, we can cross the bridge and put the fish in the utility room." After about half a cigarette, the brain calculation finally came to the result.

In fact, this arithmetic problem is very simple, and few of the refugees would refuse if they were asked to choose.But Hu Yang is more cautious than most refugees. He not only wants to hear the good side, but also wants to hear the price that needs to be paid.

"Don't worry, I don't need you to take risks, there are only two small things. First, help me bring the weapons to the settlement area; second, tell the ascetics that the fish here can not be eaten dead. Raised in the Yining River for several days, it tastes better when you eat it and slaughter it, and you can make caviar by the way." At this time, Hong Tao didn't need to make up nonsense at all, it was all real.

"Can this kind of fish live?" Carrying weapons is really not difficult. Even a rifle can be disassembled into parts and frozen in the belly of a fish. The soldiers at the checkpoint don't even turn over most of the time.

But raising fish in the Yining River seems a little unreliable. This kind of fish is very delicate, afraid of heat but not cold, and dies soon when it comes out of the water. Even with a refrigerated truck, it seems that it is not easy to achieve.

Chapter 597 New Plan 2

"Don't forget that this is my home. Go ahead and say it. If they are willing to give it a try, they can recommend me to raise fish. It doesn't matter if you don't want to. As long as you bring your weapons in, the previous promise still counts."

"When and where to go, I will tell you in advance. But you have to guarantee one thing, the people who walk with us can't be soft-boned, let alone sell friends for glory."

It's all done, the story will end here, and Hong Tao will also light a cigarette for himself as a reward.It is not difficult to make up nonsense, but it is quite brain-intensive to make up a complete set, which is pure mental work.

"Don't worry, I can assure you that anyone who has a problem will find me to settle the account, whether it is killing or cutting, it should be done!"

If you said that you went from unbelief, doubt, half-belief to belief just now, Hu Yang is a little eager to try it now, and he can't wait to start working immediately, hurry up and go to the East Asian Union as soon as possible.

How is life over there? No need for Bires to tell me that I have heard from businessmen that I have come and gone. It must be better than here. Otherwise, Hami would not have set up a checkpoint to allow refugees to go east casually.

But just having a job and earning a living is not the main reason why I flock to it. The temptation of a wife, children and family is too great. People, as long as they can live, who doesn’t want their wives and children to be hot.

"Well, let's do it for today. You continue to deliver the fish, and don't talk about it with others, including your people."

Asking Hu Yang to help transport weapons through the checkpoint was a long-awaited idea, but it was a whim to raise fish for the redeemer.Hong Tao didn't want to rush to take revenge, he had plenty of time, so he had to make a careful calculation to see if there was the most efficient way.

"Brother, Iszawi can actually help a lot. He used to be very close to people from the Penance Church, but he has been dissatisfied since he was tortured. When he was recuperating at my home, he said more than once But, once you save enough money, take me to Hami to find someone you know to cross the blockade. You and him are old acquaintances, as long as you can go to the East Asian League, he should not refuse."

Seeing that Hong Tao was leaving, Hu Yang felt that there was something that must be mentioned.I mentioned Iszawi just now when I was telling what happened to me, but the herdsman didn't respond much. If I could pull that guy in, it would be relatively easy.After all, when it comes to the understanding and contacts of the Redeemer base, people like myself are still far behind.

"Are you serious? If something goes wrong, the adjudicator will hang you and me on the pole and burn to death!" About this person, Hong Tao has never quite figured out which side he belongs to.

You can say that he is a secret agent of the Redeemer. He has engaged in smuggling and even planned to use special passes to help people pass customs. He has done a lot of business. These crimes alone are enough to be burned to death.

You can say that he sympathizes with the rebels or is simply a spy of the rebels, but he has no rebellious emotions at all. Instead, he wholeheartedly makes black-hearted money from the refugees, and sometimes he is more ruthless than the redeemer.

"My old Hu is the number one among the gold diggers. I have basically no relationship, and I can't be ranked in terms of force. The reason why so many brothers are willing to follow is because of this pair of eyes. After so many years, you can follow me There is no one who eats inside and out, let alone egg buns, and can withstand critical moments."

"It's the same when I was arrested this time. None of them said anything about cigarettes. They only said that you were in conflict with the Silver Wolf Gang. Everyone took the opportunity to go up together. If the elder brother can believe it, I will take care of Iszawi's affairs. He If you agree, I guarantee it, if you don't agree, I will let him disappear, and nothing will happen!"

Don't look at Hu Yang being restrained and cautious in front of Hong Tao, but he is the leader of the gold diggers after all, fighting and killing zombies all day is really not a coward in his bones.

"...All right, if he is sincere, he can find an excuse to bring him here to meet me, and everyone will carefully figure out how to deal with this matter." Since Hu Yang said so definitely, Hong Tao didn't mind taking a risk. .Now everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope, if they die together, no one can escape.

At the end of April, it is the season of warm spring and flowers blooming in the Yili River Valley. Most of the deciduous trees have sprouted new buds, and the evergreen trees have also faded from the dark green in winter and replaced them with emerald green clothes.

Not only patches of grass appeared on the hillside, but also large patches of wild flowers.If another month passes, this place will turn into a sea of ​​flowers, with bees and wild bees shuttling back and forth, and spring will be in full bloom.

Compared with nature, the few survivors are also busy.To the east of the Yining base along the banks of the Yili River are large tracts of farmland. No matter what one believes in, one advocates, or one way of managing it, humans have never underestimated agriculture since ancient times.

This was the case in the old world, and even more so in the new world.Today is the annual Spring Plowing Festival of the Redeemer. This day is the busiest day of the year, and only on this day will the senior officials of the Redeemer prepare a warm meal for all living people, regardless of the official residents and refugees. Let's celebrate the passing of winter and the coming of spring together, and pray for a good harvest this year.

As the supreme leader of the Redeemer, whether it is the nominal head of the Ascetic Society Jiang Yang, or the bishop Zhao Bin, they will appear on the high platform by the river on time every year, showing their compassionate heart to everyone, and describing the beauty of the future .Of course, the premise is to be under their leadership, otherwise everything will cease to exist.

"Hey, Chow Tai Fook, be smarter and get some more fish to prepare. His Excellency the Bishop will host a banquet for the officers heading to the front line tonight. It will be bad luck for us both if we are delayed!"

Compared with the crowded and bustling high platform outside the city, the crowded residential area and the base across the bridge seem a bit deserted.But this is only a superficial phenomenon. In fact, the corral area located in the southeast corner of the base has been busy since dawn.

In addition to the spring plowing festival that needs to be celebrated today, there is another more important day. The Redeemer army will officially march south, vowing to recapture the strategic cities of Kucha and Licheng. For this reason, Bishop Zhao Bin personally hosted a banquet in the auditorium of the headquarters to entertain those An officer about to go.

No, Mr. Wang with a big head and a thick neck was trotting towards the cabin by the river with his short legs, kicked open the door, and yelled into the dark room.

"Director Wang, don't worry, yesterday I reined in all the big fish, making sure they are alive and kicking."

A tall man came out of the room very quickly. Because the door frame was too low, he had to bend over, but the flattering smile on his face was not affected at all, and it bloomed brighter than the sun in the sky.Compared with these illusory nonsense, the integrated snow lotus smoke handed over is more sincere.

"If you work as hard as your mouth, kid, I'm afraid you won't be able to get an ID card until winter... By the way, seeing the temperature is getting higher and higher, can these fish still be kept alive?"

Manager Wang took the cigarette case with a smile, and put it in his pocket in a grandiose manner without disliking the low grade.Compared with this pack of cigarettes, he prefers to hear the illusory title of director. The director is too ugly, and it always sounds like a eunuch.

And he likes this tall fish farmer even more. Although he has only been here for two months and is a refugee, he can speak better than most people in the base.The work is also unambiguous. On weekdays, he not only serves the fish in the seine, but also has good eyesight. As long as he sees himself in the kitchen area, he will definitely run over to help, and there will be a pack of cigarettes from time to time.

Although they are not high-end products, they are quite useful in my heart.After all, he is just a refugee with no foundation, and it is not easy to achieve this step only by raising fish and halving the rationing.

The most important thing is respect. It seems that this kind of feeling can only be obtained near the temporary cabin, which is very precious.If you can make your own decisions, you must first issue him an ID card. It is too wasteful for such a sensible and capable person to be a refugee.

"Don't worry, I found a small stream at the airport. It's all cold water from the mountains. Just use stones to build a few small pools along the way to store the water. It's deep enough to keep fish alive in summer. .It’s that the fish meat definitely doesn’t taste as good as winter’s, and the fat is a bit less.”

This nodding and bowing sycophant is Hong Tao who healed his wounds and came to revenge. Since he met Iszawi, who was willing to join the group, he made a promise to take everyone to the East Asian Union to live a good life, and to help the Redeemer's high-level raise cold-water fish. The job soon fell to him.

Chapter 598 New Plan 3

The method is also very simple, that is to build two long pools next to each other with stones in the river near the north bank of the Yili River, the one on the west is responsible for water storage, and the one on the east is responsible for raising fish.

Let the water flow down from the upper pool at a faster speed, which can reduce the water temperature and increase the dissolved oxygen, and the high whitefish in the lower pool will naturally live for a few more days.

That's right, just live a few more days.This method does not allow high whitefish to survive for a long time, let alone breeding.But this is enough. Every three or four days, Populus euphratica will lead two horses, carry a long wooden barrel, and arrive with live fish just caught from Sailimu Lake.Put it in a pool for a few days, and it can fully meet the food and drink needs of the upper base.

In order to serve these fish, the upper management of the Redeemer allowed Zhou Dafu, a refugee introduced by Iszaway, to enter the base. In fact, he could only move around the edge of the base. The specific location was near the corral in the southeast corner, and a wooden house was temporarily built by the river to live in.

In fact, this kind of trivial matter is not up to the high-level personal attention. It is estimated that the middle and low-level logistics officials like Director Wang will at most write a report for the leader to sign, and maybe even deduct the quota originally allocated to the fish farmers. It's half over.

Of course, Hong Tao doesn't care about food, drink and welfare, but he has to try his best to look very important to himself. In addition to raising fish, slaughtering fish, and drying dried fish all day long, he also actively helps his immediate boss with some tasks that are not originally within his scope of work. , so as to win favor.

In private, they used the piecemeal method of Hu Yang and his group to transport three boxes of shells and a mortar in many times, and hid them under the floor of the cabin.

As for how to transport and raise live fish in summer, they were all made up by him.Unless there is an ice machine and an aerator, as the temperature rises, no one can transport cold-water fish in a simple tank for more than a day without dying.

But this lie is very confident, and I am absolutely not afraid of being exposed in the future.Because tonight is the best time to act, Zhao Bin held a banquet in the auditorium of the headquarters, and all the middle and high-level people attended.

When the cannon fired, it would be worth ten thousand taels of gold. Before they could figure out where the explosion came from, they would have finished firing the cannonballs, put on a weight belt, got into the river with a snorkel in their mouth, and went out of the city.

As long as they can enter the mountainous area north of the base, even if there are thousands of troops at night, there will be nowhere to find them.Before the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, I will be able to appear near a small town about 70 kilometers east of Sailimu Lake.

At about the same time, Hu Yang's group will also cook a sumptuous grilled fish feast for the adjudicators stationed at Sailimu Lake, and when they are full, they will relax their vigilance, and then take out their hidden weapons to fight. Pot stew.

Even if there were a few Judgment Patrolmen left, it would not be a problem, as long as the radio station could be destroyed, and when they ran back to the base to report the news, he would have disappeared into the vast Gobi near Lake Aibi with Populus euphratica and the others.

Oh yes, and Iszawi, whose contribution in this operation cannot be erased.The day before yesterday, this guy had gone back to Sailimu Lake with Populus euphratica under the pretext of inspection work. He knew the two adjudicators stationed there.

Otherwise, the more acquaintances you have, the more ruthless you are. Without him, the adjudicators may not be able to eat and drink at ease, and it doesn't make sense why a few bitter hahas suddenly want a good wine and meat treat.

"Well, there is nothing wrong with this matter. Do it well. When the opportunity comes, I will introduce you to you. Get your ID card down early and you will be safe. But you should save some good things, understand? The more officials you have, the more you will eat." The bigger you are, if you can’t feed them enough, you’ll be a refugee even if you’re exhausted!”

I don't know if I can use melted water from snowy mountains to raise cold-water fish kings, and I don't even care. As long as this kid can work hard until the summer, and then take out all the shopping coupons he saved for his own operation, it shouldn't be a problem to mix up an ID card. question.

During this period of time, the loss of personnel in the base was a bit large, especially the adjudicators had almost changed their blood, and they all had to be reselected from the border guards.Now they are facing a war in the south, even if they win, they will die.

Then where should these personnel be replenished? If nothing else happens, they must be selected from the refugees who are relatively young and in relatively good health. At that time, the ID card will be really worthless.

Although the refugee in front of him who only knows how to raise fish doesn't look too young, he has a strong body and a solid workmanship.

"Yes, yes, if it weren't for your good intentions, I'd be so exhausted that I wouldn't be able to find a way out... You take this as a side dish for drinking."

Faced with such kind advice, how could Hong Tao not express anything.It's still the old rule, not only relying on the sweetness of the mouth, but also some hard goods, so a small bottle filled with golden yellow particles was handed over.

"Hey, how can you just give away the caviar for the big nun!" Director Wang didn't appreciate it, and stepped back half a step with a straight face, showing a posture of resisting corrosion and never touching it.

"This is the leftover material I picked out... Actually the taste is the same." Hong Tao didn't give up his efforts, smiled even more obsequiously, and chased half a step forward.

"...Zhou Dafu, you are very dishonest, you dare to withhold things belonging to the big nun...hehehe...don't be afraid, it's not easy for us to do specific things, it's normal to pluck the feathers. But be careful in the future Come on, not everyone is as talkative as I am. Well, go get busy and send the fish to the kitchen before seven o'clock!"

Sure enough, when Mr. Wang heard about the source of the caviar, he immediately stopped avoiding it. He quickly took the bottle and put it in his arms, then turned and left contentedly.Halfway through, he went back and told him again, which shows that the banquet at night is still very responsible for him.
