Doomsday rat

A moment later, a tall man walked out of the woods, followed by two light blue horses.Several packages of different shapes are carried or hung on the horse's back, which looks quite heavy.The horse's hooves had sunk deep into the soft soil, and they should have been the ones who had just stepped on the broken branch.

The man wore a military leather hat, a camouflage winter jacket, high-waisted hiking boots, and big snow goggles on his face.The upper lip was clean-shaven, and the beard on the chin was short and dewy.

This is a clearing in the dense forest. The main reason why it is not occupied by trees is that there are a large pile of naturally formed rocks, like a large graveyard, and also like a bunker.

"Why are you so rude, don't you close the door when people leave?" The man threw away the reins, turned to the east side of the pile of boulders, and looked into the gap more than half a meter wide. He pouted and shook his head. .

Hong Tao is back again!It took him two and a half months of rest at the Alashan Pass to heal his broken ribs, and he ran across the border as soon as he recovered. It took him seven or eight days to catch two saddled horses without a day's delay. Take your weapons and equipment and go straight to Sailimu Lake.

The first stop was the Bear Cave, where Juma and the two children were hiding, and he wanted to see how they got out.If they were captured, the weapons and ammunition stored in the bear cave would definitely be taken away; if they were picked up by Zhou Yuan, most of the things would not be taken.

At present, it seems that the entrance of the bear cave is relatively smooth, and there are not many traces of people stepping on and dragging heavy objects, but the branches that were originally used for shelter have been moved away.Next, he pulled out a dagger with a barb on the shoulder from his thigh, lay down on the ground and carefully searched for it.

It took more than ten minutes to penetrate almost every inch of the ground at the entrance. After confirming that there was no ambush such as landmines, Hong Tao put away his dagger, stood up, patted the dirt on his trouser legs, and went into the cave with a flashlight.

This was originally a bear's lair, but since he parachuted by the lake, it's not just the wolves who are unlucky, but also the bear. In the bedroom of the airplane cabin.

Regardless of the fact that the entrance is just a thin slit, the space after entering is not only large but also divided into inside and outside.Turning a right-angled turn is the real inside of the cave, which is about [-] square meters in size, about an oval shape, very dry, with more than a dozen wooden boxes piled up in the corner, covered with various animal furs, most of which are wolf skins.

"Phew... These guys are still easy to use..." Pulling away the animal furs, they opened the boxes one by one. There were not only clothes, sleeping bags, dry food and first aid kits, but also guns, bullets, grenades, and rocket launchers, most of which were brand new.

Seeing these things, Hong Tao let go of most of the stones in his heart.The Redeemer apparently hadn't discovered the cave, and it's highly likely that Juma and the two children survived.

"946490" took a flashlight to look around, and a line of numbers was engraved on the wall with a hard object, a code word that only he and Zhou Yuan knew.After letting go of the biggest burden, Hong Tao felt relaxed, and the next step was to go back to the airplane hut and ranch hut to have a look.

Although I knew in my heart that the two huts must be gone, even if the Redeemer put out the fire, only the skeleton of the plane and a pile of broken wood would be left, and the rest would be burned to ashes by gasoline.

But since he came here, he would not be reconciled if he didn’t go to see it. He still imagined that he could find the remains of Kerim and Sa Ren, and give them a more formal cemetery, and then a Nima pile.

But as soon as I climbed the nearest mountain ridge on the north side of the lake, I saw anomalies on the lake through the telescope.A snow-white sailing boat was cruising on the lake that was just over half of Kaifeng, and there seemed to be a few figures running around on the boat.It took me a while to understand that those people were fishing with their nets.

"Fuck, it's too much to bully people, not only tearing down my house and robbing my boat, but also stealing my fish!"

Originally, he just planned to come back and take a look. He would not stay no matter whether there were redeemers stationed or not. Sailimu Lake was not included in his revenge plan.But at this time, Hong Tao suddenly changed his plan, planning to wait until night to get closer to see what the Redeemer is up to here.

Chapter 593

Hu Yang had a hard time in the past six months, and it all started with the herdsman named Bizhisi.After returning from Licheng, Hu Yang and his group of gold diggers had a very comfortable life.

Thanks to the herdsman Birzes, everyone has a good harvest. Even after passing through several checkpoints along the way, the supplies brought back are enough for each family to enjoy for more than half a year.

As the saying goes, what comes is easy goes, and the poor become rich and rich.Suddenly no longer have to worry about the next meal, and can carry a few shopping coupons in their pockets. Some people will figure out how to make the good days last longer, and some people start to pursue spiritual pleasures, such as gambling.

As far as gold diggers are concerned, the number of the latter type of people is relatively more.They are a bit like sailors in the old world. They are engaged in very risky occupations. They are still alive and kicking when they go out today. They may bring back a corpse in a few days. In many cases, they may not even see the corpse.

Facing this kind of life, if you want not to be driven crazy, you have to find some stimulation, such as drinking, or gambling.No matter what they are, they all have one thing in common, that is, they cost money, or they are called materials.

In less than a month, several of Populus Hu Yang's subordinates changed from being shy to drooping.The supplies obtained by sacrificing their lives were either drunk or lost in a bet, and they became poor and white again. If they want to survive the winter, they have to take risks.

Hu Yang didn't refuse to go digging for gold because he still had food in his family. To become the leader of a group, both brain and body are indispensable, and necessary righteousness is also very important.The big brother can't just watch the younger brother starve to death. Apart from giving a few meals, the most fundamental solution is to continue to work hard.

If you just go to Licheng to fight for your life, it is not a bad thing for Populus euphratica.In fact, since Biges killed all the backbones of the Silver Wolf Gang, his team is considered to be the largest in the Licheng generation.It can't be said that they will intensify their efforts to exploit others like the Silver Wolf Gang, at least they won't be bullied by gold diggers, and it's much more comfortable than before.

But what happened next made Hu Yang dizzy and frightened.On the first day when he was about to leave for Licheng, he was suddenly broken into his home by several adjudicators, and he was taken into the base without any explanation, and locked in a dark basement.

Early the next morning, a strange man who spoke Chinese came and claimed to be Waker.Does anyone know about the name Populus euphratica, and suddenly feels like falling into an ice cellar, only one word comes to mind, it's over!

The next step was question and answer. Waker would answer whatever he asked, and he didn't dare to say a word.Fortunately, the question is very simple, and there is only one content, how do you know Biges.

I don’t know if it’s because the rumors are inaccurate or because of God’s blessing, Wacker, who was described by the refugees as a ghost from hell, didn’t light up the sky lantern this time, and released Populus euphratica after only shutting it down for a day.Then he discovered that none of the people in his team had escaped and were all arrested for questioning, and the problem was 100% the same.

After careful inquiring, Hu Yang understood why he was arrested, and it turned out that the misfortune came from his mouth.A guy in the team was drinking too much and bragging, saying that Bires is a good buddy and the two of them have a good relationship. If he wants to go to Licheng to pan for gold in the future, he will swear, and he will return with a full reward in minutes.

Coincidentally, a few days ago, Birges hijacked the red-robed nun of the Ascetic Order. President Waker personally led people to chase after him, but they returned without success. Now the adjudicators are investigating this daring herdsman all over the world.

Although the people were released, Hu Yang's team was told that no one was allowed to leave the residential area before getting permission, and they would be on call. If they dared to leave without permission, they would be Birges' accomplices.

Now Populus euphratica had no choice, so he had to take out the family's reserves to share with everyone, and then took a few packs of cigarettes to bribe the supervisor of the mine, hoping to find a job for the brothers.Even if you are a little tired, you have to survive the winter, and you can't just sit back and wait to starve to death.

But the steward collected the cigarettes but never found work for him, so Hu Yang had no choice but to take two more packs of cigarettes to beg Iszawi.Although this guy is notoriously greedy in the settlement, he has a lot of energy. As long as he gives enough benefits, there is almost nothing he can't do.

Who would have thought that Iszawi would also suffer, even worse than the gold diggers.One of his arms and one leg was broken by the adjudicator, and the reason was the same as his own because he knew Biges and had an inexplicable relationship with Biges.

Now let alone finding a way to survive for outsiders, whether he can survive the winter himself has become a big problem.All the goods in the store were stolen by the adjudicator, all the contacts in the base were avoided, and there were injuries on his body.

At this time, Populus euphratica was really righteous. He felt that the reason why he could live a comfortable life for a few days, and also solved the mortal enemy Yinlang, was all thanks to the help of Birges.Now that the herdsman has become a fugitive, he has not only failed to help, but has also become an informer. Even if he does not provide any useful information, it is still a matter of character.

He didn't dare to resist the adjudicator, but it was only right for him to help Bizes take care of his friend.So Iszawi also became a member of their team, and everyone took turns to catch fish in the river outside the settlement, dig prairie rats in the nearby fields, and take out the last bit of stock to bribe the officer at the checkpoint to allow them Go a little further into the mountains to hunt.

The ancients said that good people are rewarded with good rewards, which is not completely nonsense. The New Year comes just after the good days.After all, Iszawi has a relatively wide network of contacts. After the rumors have passed, especially after the deaths of Waker and Yuro, his suspicion will be ignored.

It didn't take long before I reconnected with the old relationship in the base. Although the store will not be open for a while, and the goods will not be brought back, but I got a good job to help the big nun find someone to fish, Sailimu Lake Tall Whitefish.

Yuluo died, but Anna did not give up on Sailimu Lake completely. She transformed the visitor center in the lake area into a stronghold of the Judge, and used it to monitor the situation near Guozigou. Some people sneaked into the vicinity of the Yining base through this mountain road to make trouble.

At the same time, the economic benefits have not been forgotten. She has eaten the high whitefish, a specialty of Sailimu Lake, and it tastes very good.But in addition to fishing, it is not appropriate to use the soldiers of the Judge and the Redeemer to move back across the mountains, and letting the refugees do this can minimize the cost.

The subordinates did implement her intentions, but through layers of apportionment and subcontracting, the price quickly rose from one hundred catties to three hundred catties a week. This job finally fell to Iszawi's old relationship.

Even so, it is still a rare good job for most refugees to be responsible for fishing and transporting less than [-] kilometers in exchange for enough food.

If it wasn't for thanking Hu Yang for taking care of him when he was at his lowest point, Iszawi would have been able to pass the Nth subcontract and pass the grate again from the soup that was not thick.

Naturally, Hu Yang and his group would not refuse, and happily followed the adjudicator on duty to Sailimu Lake, transforming from a gold digger to a fisherman.Although no one knew how to play with sailboats at the beginning, they could only row a small boat to get out of the net, and started working every day before dawn. They dared not go ashore before dark, and they could not catch a few in a day.

But at this time, people can risk their lives for stuttering, and even dare to play the blue devil's idea.If you can't catch enough during the day, you will turn on the lights and fight at night. Diligence can make up for your weakness. As long as you copy one net, you may be able to make up for the shortfall of several days.

This has been done for more than two months, and now Hu Yang and his group can be counted as junior fishermen. Not only are the boats more and more efficient, but even the big sailing boat has been fiddled with.Driving it to the deep water area to cast nets often yields unexpected results. Not only are there many fish, but they are also big.

After lunch, Populus euphratica put on his clothes and walked to the hut by the lake, and packed the frozen whitefish into wattle baskets, ready to deliver goods to the base.

A total of nine of them came, and three of them were to act as couriers. Every day, one person carried dozens of catties of fresh fish in a basket and returned to the Yining base over mountains and mountains. It cost about four to five hundred catties a week.

Among them, [-] catties were handed over to the base, and the rest was sold privately by Iszhawei. Half of the shopping vouchers and supplies in exchange had to be paid to the relationship in the base, and everyone could share the rest.

People like Populus euphratica can enjoy the food and clothes distributed in the base, even if there is still a big gap between the number of official residents, they can still have enough food and clothing.These shopping coupons are extra money, whether they are given to family members or saved, they can still get by.

Chapter 594

"Brother Hu, don't memorize your back. Some places on the mountain road are frozen and it's not easy to walk." Just after filling the twig basket, a skinny man in his 30s came in from outside the house, looking at the full twig basket. The faces are all sad.

As the temperature rises, the snow begins to melt, and then freezes into ice after nightfall, making the mountain roads more and more difficult to walk.Carrying such a heavy load, one will slip if one is not careful.If you are lucky, your body hurts from the fall, and if you are a little unlucky, you have to slide into the ravine without leaving your bones.

The few of them who are not strong can only stay in the lake area to fish. The dangerous work is all done by Hu Yang and two relatively strong companions, but in the end everyone gets the same wages.

"Don't be afraid, you have a poor life. You can buy a mule after two months of hard work. At that time, no matter whether you still do this job or not, it will be much easier for us to go anywhere with a big animal. Slender monkey, take time in the afternoon Go and chop some firewood and come back, it looks like it’s going to snow again, dry your clothes at night, you’ll never get sick!”

Hu Yang patted his companion on the shoulder, squatted down, put the thorn basket on his back, stood up vigorously with both legs, and walked out nonchalantly.Don't look at the lightness of his words, but the pressure in his heart is great.

When I returned to the base the day before yesterday, Iszawi said that someone was following this job again, and if I wanted to keep my job, I had to increase the production.Hu Yang believed that Iszawi was not deliberately detaining himself, and that he was not the only businessman in the settlement and the base. As long as the job could be lucrative, it would definitely attract covetousness.

But the current output is almost at the bottleneck. If you want to increase it, the brothers have to work more hours every day.Especially increase the manpower of transportation to send the fish back in time.

Apart from being afraid of starving to death, do refugees have the right to be afraid of anything else?It doesn't matter if you don't have enough manpower, you can use livestock to make up.Hu Yang has also been thinking in his heart all the time, and he didn't regard fishing as a job. I am afraid that this job will have to stop in summer, and people like himself will still have to be gold diggers, and it is equally important to have a horse for transportation.

The tourist reception center on the east bank of the lake has been stretched with iron wires. Near the road, two large wooden towers with a height of more than 20 meters have been built with logs. There are two floors in total, and machine guns are installed. There are judges no matter day or night on duty.

This is not to guard the refugees like them, but to prevent people from approaching the Guozigou Broken Bridge from the north.It's just that the guards are no longer ordinary soldiers, but gray-robed adjudicators.

"Old Hu, bring me some shredded tobacco when I come back!"

One of them helped to lift the railing to let Populus euphratica out. Even though the adjudicator has the daily necessities rationed by the base, these guys are no better than ordinary soldiers.Almost every time they go to the base to deliver goods, they will ask for help to bring things. They say they are helping, but in fact they are exploiting, and they never give money.

"Okay, it's the shop in Bapure on the street, right... Come on, try my stock first!" But Hu Yang didn't dare to ask for money even once, and had to find a way to curry favor with these evil spirits.

Without it, refugees are not considered human beings in the eyes of the adjudicator, and if they are killed, they will be killed, and there is no place to redress their grievances.As for fishing... don't use this matter to blackmail anyone. There are so many refugees in the ghetto waiting to be fed, and anyone who can find a few can't catch fish.

"I said you can do it, old Hu, and you've got packs of them!" The sentinel took the cigarettes from Hu Yang with a surprised expression on his face. They knew that there must be oil and water behind the fishing job, but they didn't know that there was so much oil and water.In just over two months, the refugees who can't even eat enough can smoke snow lotus cigarettes!

"It's not as good as you said. The last time I went to deliver the fish, I happened to meet the steward of the big nun. He saw that I was pitiful and rewarded me with a small box. You said that I just had a full meal for a few days. How dare I smoke so much?" Expensive cigarettes, and I wouldn’t be able to continue this job if it wasn’t for your help.” Hu Yang took out a lighter and lit it for the other party with a smile on his face, and kept saying good things.

"Let's go, let's go, hurry back!" The sentinel was very happy, took a deep breath of cigarettes, waved his hand to signal that he could go out, and didn't even check the fish in the basket.

"...you have to let Yuluo deal with you bastards... oh... when will it be the end!" After walking a few hundred meters, Hu Yang dared to curse in a low voice.

But when he remembered that the hero who had ruled northern Xinjiang for many years was also killed in the siege of the Redeemer, the heat in his heart was immediately blown away by the cold wind.People with such a great ability are still unable to fight against the power of tens of thousands of people in the end. With this little ability, what else can they do besides scrambling to survive.

In fact, many refugees who had some thoughts in their hearts chose to continue to endure after hearing that Yuluo had been killed.The soldiers at the checkpoint intensified, and their attitude towards the refugees became more and more arrogant, as if killing Yuro would prove how powerful they were.

"Pa-ta..." Hu Yang, who was thinking about something, suddenly felt something hitting the hat.

"..." He stopped and lowered his head to look for it, and there was actually a yellow-orange bullet lying in the snow-soaked soil.Hu Yang hesitated for several seconds, but he didn't dare to pick it up. He kept looking around, but he still couldn't find any suspicious objects.

"God, if you take pity on my little life, why don't you give me more..." A bullet is not too expensive, but it is not cheap on the black market.Hu Yang quickly wiped it clean and put it in his arms, folded his hands together and prayed towards the sky.

He didn't believe in any gods at first, but after suffering for so many years, one after another, what happened before him forced him to believe in the possibility of the existence of gods.

"Pa-ta..." Before he finished speaking, something hit his face directly.

"I, I..." Hu Yang quickly grasped the thing before it slipped off.Even if you don't open your hand, you can tell it's still a bullet just by feeling.Now that I don't believe in God, it really can't be justified. In order to express my piety, my legs softened and I knelt on the ground.

"Kneeling it is worse than kneeling me. It can only bring you infinite unknowns. If you want to get help, please look to the left!" .

"You, who are you... I, I'm delivering goods for the big nun, and I don't have any valuables on me except fish... How about you take two and try..." Do gods have an accent when they speak?Hu Yang probably thought about it and immediately came to a conclusion, nonsense!

If I hadn't met a god, there seemed to be only other refugees in the barren mountains, or called robbers, thieves, murderers...no matter what they are called, they all have the same meaning, and some blood must be shed, otherwise people will be as dead as goods. Don't even think about leaving.

"Hey hey hey, it's really a good plan to give me my fish... Hu Yang, why are you in this state? Could it be that being a gold digger is not as good as being a running dog?" The man didn't seem to move, the voice still came from the left of.

"You, you know me?" Hu Yang didn't intend to turn his head to look at all, and if he saw the face clearly, he would be unable to leave.

But this voice sounds a little familiar, but I can't remember it for a while.Could it be that acquaintances want to cheat?Ordinarily, no one I know is so ruthless.

"Turn around and see if you know... Don't worry, I don't want to kill you yet. If I want to kill you, I can kill you with one bullet. There's no point in throwing two bullets for nothing!"

"Bi...Biges...Don't, don't, brother, I really didn't betray you...Yes, I was afraid of death, so I told Wacker about knowing you. But, but I really don't know you Where did you go..."

Hu Yang pinched the bullet in his hand, and felt that this man was right, so he turned his head and looked back to the left.This look almost scared the soul out of his body, and he exposed most of his head on the ground less than ten meters away from him.

Although the hair was shorter, the beard was shorter, and the snow goggles were different, but with that half-smile expression and big white teeth, a name immediately appeared in his mind, and then he changed from kneeling to Became paralyzed.

It's too scary, there are ghosts appearing in broad daylight, it must be because of the deep sins of oneself.But Hu Yang felt a little wronged, whether it was dead or alive, he had to speak clearly first.

"Shhhhh... don't cry yet... If I knew you were so emotional, I shouldn't have killed Silver Wolf. Keeping him might be more useful than you."

The ghost really didn't just have a head, and it got out of the mud while talking, or crawled up.It wasn't dirt there, but a cloak covered in mud.

Chapter 595

"Are you really... not dead?" Hearing the name of the silver wolf and seeing the ghost transform from a head into a living person, Hu Yang finally came out of his unsteady beliefs and began to face the reality.

"Okay, let's put down the fish you stole from my house first, and come over and talk about how to make up for my loss." Of course the ghost Birges is Hong Tao who has returned to the lake area.After discovering that someone was fishing in the lake, he waited quietly until night fell, and relied on the thermal imaging scope to figure out the defense situation near the visitor center.

He then put on night vision goggles and sneaked closer, observed from a distance of several hundred meters for a whole day and a half, and probably figured out the relationship between these people dressed as refugees and more than a dozen adjudicators, and found acquaintances, so a Thus was born the plan to use Populus euphratica close to the Redeemer's base.

Originally, he wanted to rely on the secret mountain road to transport the mortars and shells to the north of the base bit by bit, then sneak up to Yining Airport to clear out the guarding soldiers, and aim at Zhao Bin's headquarters from there to shoot up all three boxes of shells in the shortest time.

Even if Zhao Bin can't be killed, he still has to worry about it all day long, and then go to Beer City to blow up the largest oil refinery and oil storage tank in the area, which makes the Redeemer executives feel distressed to the bone.

But the revenge plan can only go so far. Unless one has superpowers against the sky, no matter how strong a person is, he will not be able to confront tens of thousands of organized and disciplined people in a short period of time and win a complete victory.

Hong Tao examined himself, and first ruled out the possibility of superpowers against the sky, and then he didn't have much time to spend with the redeemer, and he didn't want to kill someone who didn't know because of his grievances.

Speaking of which, there was no serious, not even enmity, between him and most of the Redeemer.The deaths of the Crimean couple were not so much killed by the Redeemer as they were implicated by himself.

If he hadn't minded his own business and tried to use his ideas to conduct himself in the world, it is very likely that no one has discovered the hut in Sailimu Lake, and the shepherd and his wife would not have been brutally killed.

What is right and what is wrong, in many cases there is no clear boundary.In the eyes of most of the Redeemers, Yu Luo's behavior is a mistake, a factor of instability, and a scourge that affects their normal life, which must be eliminated quickly.

This is not only firmly believed by the Redeemer, but even the Crimean himself partially agrees.He advised Hong Tao more than once not to go out to meddle in his own business, let alone to find the so-called justice for those refugees.

The reason why the refugees are bullied is because they are not official members of the Redeemer. If they are, they will not waste a minute, and then they have to call the hero Yoro who they like to talk about as a heinous criminal.

Hong Tao himself understood this truth and took it for granted.It's just that sometimes he can't control himself, and when he finds something he doesn't like, he can't help but take care of it.He is still impatient if others don't listen, and then resorts to violent means according to his own ideas, relying on his stronger ability, better weapons, and more experience.

That's right, sometimes when Hong Tao calms down and reflects, he often feels that there is no essential difference between himself and Zhao Bin.They are doing what they think is right, and when they encounter disobedience, they will physically destroy them.I did the same thing myself, and the efficiency seemed to be higher, and the methods were more drastic.

But didn't the ancients say that most of the time the flashlight is to shine on others.Hong Tao can't find a theoretical basis, so he can only play an asshole. If you beat my friend to death, you will not succeed, you will have to pay with blood, double and leverage!

Now Hu Yang has become a lever for revenge. He wants to take advantage of the convenience of these people sending fish to the base to see if he can transport weapons and equipment in.Even if you can't enter the base, the closer you are, the easier it is to succeed.

"You, are you really not dead?"

Even though Hu Yang recognized the man in front of him as the herdsman Biresi he met in Licheng, he was sure that he was not mistaken, and he was still dubious.This is called thinking inertia, and he couldn't figure out what kind of ability a herdsman could rely on to escape safely from the full pursuit of the Redeemer without fleeing far away.

"Pa...is it hot?" Hong Tao's answer was to give Hu Yang a small mouth.

"..." Hu Yang rubbed the left side of his face, he really went to feel the temperature carefully, and nodded slightly hesitantly.

"It's over now, ghosts are cold, and they don't know how to smoke... Come, try high-end products!" Hong Tao really wanted to give him the right cheek after rounding it up, so he shouldn't hesitate. Also happier.

But considering the content of the conversation afterwards, he put aside his thoughts of taking advantage for the time being, took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, took one out of his mouth, and threw most of the remaining packs to Populus euphratica.
