"It's not enough just to have these thoughts. You have to think more about the difficulties, otherwise you will be easily disappointed." What to say.

Will people believe it?Yuluo's name is just an inspiring story. People who want you to be a hero are heroes, and if they want you to be a bear, they have to get down immediately.

If I tell them that after arriving in the East Asian Union, all young women of the right age must participate in marriage activities, regardless of race or belief, without Xu Xiaoman and Zhou Yuan doing anything, the top leaders of the rebel army will have to kill themselves.

Well, you came to make trouble as soon as we found a way to survive. You must be a spy sent by the Redeemer to use all means to deceive the public. Maybe you won't even give us the whole body, and you will be burned to death!

Thinking about the good, it is better for the rebels to be eaten by the East Asian Alliance than to live under the hands of the Redeemer.Although they are all oppressed, there are differences in degree and method. If you want to blame, you can only blame the Redeemer's method for being too simple and rude.

Speaking of which, the source of this incident is still myself. The model of the East Asian League originated from the Revival League, and the Revival League is a replica of the rescue team. Could it be that the instigator is now going to completely overthrow the previous concept?

"If you want to talk about disappointment, you should have been disappointed as early as when you left Qiucha City... Zhao Bin said back then that we are not capable of leading so many people, and that virtue is not worthy. Now that I think about it, what he said is not completely wrong. In this regard We're really not qualified."

Zhang Weiping misunderstood Hong Tao's words again, thinking that he was criticizing their previous actions, and simply admitted their lack of ability.That look really seemed to be willing, and it really didn't have much expectation, just fighting for survival.

"How much defensive power is left in Baishui City, and what are the fortifications?" Hong Tao felt that there was no need to continue to lure this issue in an orderly manner. Zhang Weiping's situation should also reflect the thinking of the top leaders of the rebel army.They really had nowhere to go, so they didn't have so many ideas, they just wanted to have a better destination.

Since this is the case, let’s talk about specific combat details. I’m not here to convince them how to live their lives. Try to help prevent the paratroopers from being used as targets. The task will be completed. Zhou Yuan will naturally deal with the rest. , has nothing to do with myself.

"...There are no fortifications...the environment there is quite special, and you can see it when you get out of the river valley. There should be about 300 combat troops, as long as they can shoot bows and arrows and hold knives. Guns and ammunition Few, forty or fifty guns, less than five hundred bullets, dozens of grenades."

It was originally a very simple question, but Zhang Weiping found it difficult, and he couldn't explain it clearly after talking for a long time.And the later introduction about the strength of the troops made this very strong man feel ashamed. He probably also understands how difficult it is to block the attack of the adjudicator with such a defeated army.

"You are not the only ones like this!?" Hong Tao was really not calm. He guessed that the situation of the rebels was not good, but he did not expect it to be so dire.The equipment is not dominant, the number of people is not dominant, and there are no fortifications. What can we do in the plains?

"Most of the personnel and supplies have been evacuated to Shule. If Representative Xu hadn't repeatedly insisted that our division should have left too. Brother Yuluo, do you really have a way to defeat the adjudicator? These hundreds of people came from Kucha and Licheng Those who retreated all the way are also the last strength of the First Division. I don’t want to see them being hung on the pole by the adjudicator. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t believe in your ability, it’s just that the situation outside is different from that in the mountains. It’s very... It's complicated."

It wasn't until this time that Zhang Weiping told the truth. He didn't really believe in the deployment of the East Asian Alliance, but he was crucified here by the high-level rebels.

"Is there a lot of swamps and reeds?"

"Yes, no, how should I put it...have you seen thousands of lakes in the desert?" Zhang Weiping nodded, then shook his head, holding back for a long time and finally found a metaphor that he thought was suitable.

"...To tell you the truth, I have seen it!" Hong Tao was also taken aback. He only speculated that the situation here should be similar based on the geological and climate changes near Licheng, but he didn't expect the situation to be more serious.

But soon he laughed again. One of the benefits of living longer is seeing more.Coincidentally, I have seen a similar landform, but it is far away on the other side of the earth.There is a national park called Sheets in Brazil, South America, where deserts and lakes coexist, and the scenery is very strange.

Talking until midnight, Hong Tao and Zhang Weiping took turns to be a group of sentries. When Mai Tijiang came back from picking up the trash, they set up camp and started the last day of the Chateau Trail.

With the help of camels, the trouble of carrying the wounded was eliminated, and the speed of the team more than doubled.However, Hong Tao basically didn't enjoy this treatment much, and he still insisted on going forward to investigate alone.

Life-saving is obviously more important than comfort. Who knows if there is an adjudicator in the valley.Especially when the forces of the rebel army had been compressed to Baishui City, the exit of this river valley was basically unprotected, and it could be said that it was located behind the enemy.

Chapter 559

Although they are all Tianshan Mountains, the scenery in the south of the mountain and the north of the mountain are very different.The north of the mountain is basically composed of slopes, alpine meadows, forests and snow from low to high, with four distinct seasons.In the sunny south of the mountain, except for some sparse forests near the river valley, most of the area is bare rocks and mountains.

The colors are not too monotonous, there are maroon, dark red, khaki, light yellow and light blue, khaki and even white.Arranged one by one along the mountain, it looks beautiful like waves.This kind of mountain has a scientific name called Danxia landform, which is considered a natural scenic spot in the old world.

As the altitude gets lower and lower, the temperature gradually rises. When he got below 1000 meters, Hong Tao had already started to take off his clothes.Reduced the layered cold protection system that originally wore six layers to five layers, then four layers, and finally even took off the outer cold protection clothes, and only wore fleece combat uniforms and was still sweating.

"Fuck, this is changing too fast!" At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Hong Tao, who was investigating one kilometer ahead, finally saw the valley exit clearly through the telescope, and then he didn't move his eyes for a long time.

If it weren't for the icy Murzat River rolling and roaring not far away, he really thought he had traveled back to a certain life and took a boatload of children to Brazil to play.

In the distance, the blue and emerald lakes illuminated by the sun are as if the fairies smashed the dressing mirror of the queen mother, and pieces of broken glass of different sizes and shapes fell to the mortal world, just inlaid on the ground, very like Lencois National Park.

He has also been here in the old world, except for the colorful mountains that remain unchanged, the other scenery is not the same.In ten years, after two major earthquakes, this largest inland basin in China was completely removed by nature with abundant rain, and it was washed from the dry and windy Gobi Desert to a plain face.

The Gobi Desert is still there, but it has divided many rivers and lakes into fragments, and is covered by ubiquitous reeds and unnamed aquatic plants, with few large areas exposed.

Flocks of birds made their homes in the endless wetlands. In just a few minutes, they saw several kinds of cranes, wild geese, swans, and wild ducks, and many more could not be named.

According to the calculation of the temperature at this time, even at night it will not drop to freezing point, and it should be able to rise to more than ten degrees under the sun during the day, and many plants are still green.The bugs in the water should not freeze to death, which provides abundant food and perfect habitat for the birds.

"Fuck me, isn't this the legendary wild donkey!" As if to show the diversity of species to the guests who came from afar, a group of small black spots appeared in the field of vision.Hong Tao quickly adjusted the focus and took a closer look, and was dumbfounded again.

There is a big group, there are hundreds of them, and they are cruising slowly among the reeds, sometimes lowering their heads to nibble, sometimes raising their heads to look around, very leisurely.

When he catches up with someone who is happy to eat, he will raise his head and sing loudly, which makes Hong Tao more sure of his vision.That's right, it's the donkey, and only the donkey can sing the lyrics more authentically.

"What a wonderful place. In ten years, this place will be like a land of fish and rice." In view of the special terrain outside, Hong Tao never dared to go out, so he hid at the corner of the hillside and kept looking around until the camel caravan behind caught up. , I heard Xu Xiaoman's sigh again.

"Maybe it will become a yellow flood zone... You don't eat less donkey meat, do you?" Hong Tao has never given a positive comment on such irresponsible imagination.

Just seeing that there is too much water, the problem is that water and fire are ruthless. It is difficult to say where it is safe to live in such a complex terrain, and the further you go to the middle of the basin, the more dangerous it is, unless large-scale water conservancy facilities can be built.

"Hehehe, it should be called donkey meat with naan, but more of it is dog meat with naan. When it gets dark, there will be large groups of wild dogs coming out. Those guys are more cunning than wolves, and they like to sneak attack on human villages. Almost every year There are children being snatched away, and it is hard to guard against."

Xu Xiaoman couldn't help laughing, not because he was laughing at Hong Tao's gluttony, but because he was more confident in completing the task.This savior is better at chatting and laughing, and the masts and sculls fly into ashes and annihilate. It was like this at the iron gate last time. The more outrageous the words, the stronger the fighting power.

"Dog meat is also good...the Wei clan don't eat these two things, right?" Dog meat is fine too, Hong Tao doesn't mind with or without skin.But when I think of the fact that there are more survivors of the Wei tribe in southern Xinjiang, the idea of ​​having a mouthful is a bit vague again.

"Hey, when people are about to starve to death, they may even eat God and Buddha. But there are more yellow sheep and argali in the south, and they can choose."

Although Xu Xiaoman didn't say it directly, what he said also brought out some changes in living habits.At least the survivors of various ethnic groups around Baishui City are not so particular about it, and the southern regions will pay attention to these customs, but they are not too strict.

"That's right. The sea has become a mulberry field. If people are still the same, how can they keep up with the pace of nature. Let's camp first. It's going to be dark. I'm not familiar with wetlands at all. Let's get used to it first." Let's go one night."

This may be the only good news Hong Tao has heard in the past few days, but his heart is still heavy.In order to maximize his advantages, he planned to go out at night to explore the road and get familiar with the terrain.

"It doesn't matter. Master Zhang and Mai Tijiang are familiar with the environment. Without the barrier of these wetlands and swamps, life for the rebels would be even more difficult."

It was the first time Xu Xiaoman objected to Hong Tao's proposal. She thought it was unnecessary to stay here for another night. With a camel instead, she could go back overnight and her safety was guaranteed.

"...Okay, let me enjoy the feeling of sitting and walking. Zhuma, how does the wound feel? Come and let me see!" Hong Tao hesitated for a while before agreeing. Xu Xiaoman was right. For the combat capability of the rebels, if they want to fight against the adjudicator, they really need some special abilities, such as relying on terrain.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, it's just a little itchy..." Zhuma was feeding the camels with the fodder in the bag, a little reluctant to accept the treatment.

"It's up to me whether it's good or not. If you don't want to have your leg amputated, hurry up!" In fact, what Hong Tao wanted to see was not the healing of the wound, but the worry about the zombie virus.No one can be sure whether their own blood can completely contain the virus, what if it is only a temporary suppression.

"Uncle, you are such a local tyrant, and you still have usable anti-inflammatory drugs!" Xu Xiaoman watched Hong Tao skillfully disinfect the wound, and then took out a small plastic box, and then lost his composure.She knew what was in the box, the one-eyed boss.

"It's up to you to say... regret it, I told you to continue your fate and didn't listen!" Hong Tao didn't even lift his head, two first aid kits are nothing, I have dozens of boxes of such things Woolen cloth.

But this time he didn't make a fool of himself and said to give someone a few boxes. As long as the East Asian Alliance's plane arrives, there will be no shortage of medicines.

"Hahaha... I'll try to see if the radio station works!" Xu Xiaoman laughed wantonly, as if he didn't care about such dirty jokes.In fact, she is really not used to such open-mouthed teasing, but because of the grace of saving her life and the order of her superiors, she is not easy to put on a straight face and set the rules.

"Did you feel anything unusual?" Hong Tao also deliberately wanted to run Xu Xiaoman away, and there were many things he couldn't talk to Zhuma with her by his side.The girl's wound was a little abnormal, it didn't get worse, but it got better too fast, and it started to heal in just a few days.

"...It's just a little itchy... Is it a virus attack!" Zhuma's expression changed immediately when she heard this.

"That's right, don't think about it, have you had a fever in the past few days?" Hong Tao pulled out his dagger and gently peeled off some scabs and looked inside. Well, the flesh has grown.

"We burned for half a day when we crossed the glacier, and it will be fine soon if the temperature is not too high!" At this time, Zhuma didn't dare to hide anything, answered the question timidly, and then stared at the man's face with big eyes. expression.

"Well, then it's fine... But the special medicine can't guarantee that it will work 100%. From now on, you should pay more attention to it, and tell me as soon as you have any abnormalities in your body. Remember, don't say anything because you are afraid. If it happens, I will have a way to save it, if you don’t say it, it will only make it worse!”

Hong Tao didn't have the slightest expression on his face, but he didn't use anti-inflammatory drugs anymore, just changed a new gauze.But her heart was getting heavier and heavier. The little nun's body was abnormal, very similar to her own reaction after being bitten by a zombie.

Could it be that one's own blood can not only suppress zombie viruses, but also transform human body functions!If this is the case, Tang Sanrou is considered solid, even if there is no zombie virus, there will be a lot of people who want to bite him.

Chapter 560

"Uncle, come here, the radio is connected!" At this moment, Xu Xiaoman's voice came from the hillside.

"You go, I'm fine, look, I can walk by myself!" After confirming that she was in good health, Zhuma's mood immediately improved again, she got up and helped the camel to limp and try to walk, and it was really successful. The leg isn't too painful.

"You are the leader?" Hong Tao didn't bother to comfort Zhuma at this time, and he was a little worried about gaining and losing his identity when he thought about revealing his identity.

How should I open my mouth, as the leader of the alliance left everyone and ran away without saying a word, no matter how I explain it, it will still be very hurtful.After all, it is a minority who can put themselves in other people's shoes, and most people cannot fully understand their original intentions.

"Yes, it's Minister Zhou, she wants to contact you alone...here's the password book and the key." Xu Xiaoman is also not used to confessing to outsiders, but he is still helpless. After taking out two notebooks, he not only hides, Just went down the hill.

"It's me..." I'm still not used to Hong Tao, a Russian-made radio station. Fortunately, the encryption method is not special. After about ten minutes of familiarization, I finally sent out a word.

"At present, no one knows your situation except me. I will tell Lin Na in the future. It is up to you whether to tell Zhang Ke or not!" Soon the telegram was sent back, and Zhou Yuan's meaning was very clear and easy to understand.

"Leave a safe call sign. After dealing with the affairs of Baishui City, go back and meet and chat."

The process of generating, waiting, receiving, and translating calls was too cumbersome, and Hong Tao was not very used to it, and he couldn't talk about things in too much detail.Since Zhou Yuan already knew it was better to meet up, she just used this time to think carefully about what to do.

"This is a confidential call sign. It will be turned on for one hour at ten o'clock in the morning and two o'clock in the afternoon every day. Xu Xiaoman is temporarily reliable. There are too many people in the Air Force special service team who know you. You must avoid it and take care!" Zhou Yuan sent the call sign after a while Come over, briefly evaluate the current situation, and give suggestions.

"Don't kill any more people for me, she is a very capable and promising girl, wait for me to contact you, it's over!"

Zhou Yuan's so-called temporary reliability, Hong Tao can probably understand what it means.This bitch didn't even intend to let her own subordinates off, she was going to kill her to silence her, and she was still so vicious after so many years of not seeing each other.

"Girl, do you still need to prevent mosquito bites in winter?"

Packed up the radio and went back down the hillside. Zhang Weiping and Mai Tijiang had already set off to explore the road. Xu Xiaoman was protecting Zhuma. His whole head was covered, leaving only a slit for the eyes. Snow goggles.

She herself was dressed in the same way, her ankles, wrists, and neck were tightly wrapped with cloth strips, and she also put on the gray judge's robe, looking a bit like an Afghan woman.

"Mosquitoes are not terrible, but flies and leeches are more powerful. It's better to be close to the mountains where the temperature is lower, but the further south you go, the higher the temperature. There are too many small bugs of all kinds, and many of them are poisonous." Xu Xiaoman didn't The meaning of forcing Hong Tao to defend was just to emphasize the situation.

"I'll just use it..." Hong Tao found a gray robe that wasn't stained with blood from the camel's back, put it on, put on snow goggles and a hood, and led the camel into the endless wetland.

If it weren't for the presence of two women, he wouldn't even want to wear a robe, no matter how poisonous the flies and leeches are, there would still be black bee venom. Now his lips, eyelids and neck are still swollen.Come on, bite hard, this is not suffering but evolution, sooner or later I will be invulnerable to all poisons!

Really walked into the wetland, and it is not the same as watching from afar.Looking at the reeds from a distance looks like a wheat field, blown by the wind and the waves of the wheat billowing, it is as beautiful as watching a documentary.

But after being in the middle, I found that the reeds are two or three meters high, and people can only walk on the sand between them. The field of vision is compressed to tens of meters or even a few meters. Huhu, the air is still humid.

The sense of beauty suddenly dissipated, replaced by a kind of depression and fear.I don't know what will drill out of it, let alone whether there will be enemy guns waiting before turning this corner.

No matter what others thought, and no matter how familiar Zhang Weiping and Mai Tijiang were with the terrain, Hong Tao still put on the night vision goggles and took out the body radar.Now he kind of understands where this kind of equipment can be used besides street fighting, such as the jungle, or here.

Although it only has a detection range of [-] meters, it is the most suitable and efficient in this environment.No one of you can see far, and it is enough to spot the target tens of meters in advance.

"...Representative Xu, does Baishui City have power supply?" However, if it continues to be consumed like this, the battery I carry may not be enough.

"A lot...but I won't tell you how I got here!" Xu Xiaoman hadn't given up using small talk to find clues about Hong Tao from Zhuma, and had to stop whispering when he heard this question.

"Oh, I really think I'm a child... Both solar panels and batteries have a lifespan, and they probably won't be useful for a few years. If you don't find a way to make up for it as soon as possible, you won't even be able to light candles by then."

Without even thinking about it, Hong Tao guessed what method Whitewater City used to obtain electricity. There is no coal, no oil, and no rivers with a suitable drop. Nuclear power cannot be used.

But he didn't approve of this method at all. It was a model of muddling along. Even if the Redeemers didn't come to attack, the rebel army would still have to face darkness in a few years.

"Uncle, you can't say something positive. The more difficult it is, the more optimistic you should be, and you can't be overwhelmed by temporary difficulties." Even the savior, Xu Xiaoman also had some opinions on Hong Tao's cynicism.

It seems that he hasn't said anything positive since we met, and he has a contempt for the rebels from the beginning to the end.Even if all the facts are told, the continuous pouring of cold water will be very detrimental to her work in the local area.

"You are doing this job. In order to complete the task, even if you call black people white, you are dedicated. I haven't eaten a bite of rice from the East Asian Union. Why should I help you fool people? If shameless praise can change It is not your turn to produce energy, produce food, and produce medicines.”

Hong Tao admires Xu Xiaoman from the bottom of his heart, both in work ability and personal integrity.But for the nature of her job, I really can't agree with it.

It is no problem to unite all the forces that can be united to fight against zombies, even if the means are dirty.But you are fighting the rebels only to cooperate with the expansion strategy of the East Asian Alliance. It is a battle between people.As the ancients said, different ways do not conspire with each other.

Chapter 561 The world is as black as a crow

"Only by obtaining more resources and labor can productivity be restored as soon as possible and the strength of survivors be enhanced. For example, medicines and weapons, if there is enough labor, the output will increase significantly. By then, everyone will have medicines available and enough weapons to go to war. Wouldn't it be a good thing to clean up a city occupied by zombies?"

Xu Xiaoman is also a good cadre in terms of ideological work. When they first met, she and Mr. Cao explained a lot of truths to the herdsman Birges. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. You can continue to talk now. Move it with emotion, explain it clearly, and be convinced.

"It's a good thing...but I have a question. Are there any refugees in the East Asian Alliance's control area? If there are, it is not a good thing. Instead of running so far to fool others into uniting, it is better to unite your own refugees and let them enjoy the same treatment as the so-called official residents.”

It's a pity that what she met was not an ordinary survivor, but a senior who participated in leading the formulation of the rules.They have already figured out what the top executives of each survivor group are thinking, doing, and why.

Even these slogans that sound very exciting and completely occupy the righteousness are the first to shout out. At this time, it must be useless to hear others shouting at yourself.

"Uncle Biles, your thinking is too idealistic. If the alliance does not concentrate resources to do big things, but distributes them evenly, nothing can be done. For example, if you join the alliance, the treatment you get will definitely be higher than A lot of people. The reason is very simple, you have strong ability and great contribution to the collective. If you all eat from the big pot, and you do more and less pay, who will have the motivation to do more.”

Xu Xiaoman should be familiar with this topic. I don't know how many people I have discussed and debated with, and I have heard all kinds of opposing opinions.The question Hong Tao raised didn't bother her at all, and she continued to talk freely.

"When the Revival Alliance was facing the attack of millions of zombies, it never said that the official residents had to go to the battlefield with guns, and the refugees could watch from behind and not help. On the contrary, the important technical personnel were protected at that time, fighting to the death with the zombies Those who are fighting on the front line are precisely the ordinary people you said have little contribution and ability."

"Did they worry about who would take advantage and who would suffer? As far as I know, no, even an old lady in her 80s and [-]s drove an ammunition truck into the crowd of zombies and detonated it, using her life to give the younger generation a chance of survival." .”

"How come today, the zombies have been repelled, and they have become a hindrance? Why do everyone work as hard as they can when the crisis comes, and when it's time to enjoy the fruits of victory, they will be awarded three or six or nine grades?"

"Girl, the threat of the zombie disease has not been eliminated. All the resources on the earth belong to the survivors. Who has the right to say which part should be owned by whom, and which part should not be owned by whom?"

"That's right, when resources are tight, it's time to concentrate on big things, but how can your Minister Zhou live in a safe big house without worrying about food and drink every day, and one person occupies a quota of ten people? Those so-called refugees You have to eat a full meal and sleep in the open.”

"Could it be that if she eats less, drinks less, and enjoys less every day, she can't order you to work? You and the top executives of the Redeemer are doing the same thing, but the manifestations are different, and there is no difference in essence! Crow Station On the pig's back, don't call anyone black."

But what Xu Xiaoman didn't expect was that her remarks blew up Hong Tao, who was already full of anger, on the spot.It is sophistry to talk about how much contribution is made without adding the premise of the times!

If it is a time of peace, it is indeed a matter of course that the more you work, the more you get, and it is even a skill to get rich by taking advantage of policy gaps.But now is an extraordinary period. All human beings are struggling for survival. Everyone is not getting paid according to their work, but is desperately fighting for the possibility of their own survival. It will not work to play this theory any longer.

You know more, he knows less, your ability is strong, and his ability is weak. This is an objective reality, not a subjective thought.Everyone exerts 100% of their own energy, and the Eight Immortals cross the sea each show their magical powers. Only by working together with energy can they finally overcome difficulties.

It's not so bad now, as soon as he got a foothold, he rushed to fight for power, occupy land, engage in class division and exploit and invade, what is the difference from the King Chuang back then.He can also lick his face to cover up his dirty thoughts, and brazenly come up with a set of theories to fool others.

Back then, if you wanted to be a master, did you need to work hard to form a revival alliance?Jiao San controls the armed forces, Liu Quanyou and Lu Yejiang are in charge of logistics and people's livelihood, Zhou Yuan and Lin Na are in charge of the secret police, and their own party, government and army are all in charge. I will directly be the emperor, president, chairman, and chief...whatever it is, it's your turn Chirping now.

"You are talking nonsense! You are a spy of the Redeemer, don't try to confuse people with fallacies. We and the Redeemer are irreconcilable. The East Asian Alliance is a friend of the Rebel Army and our friend. You are not allowed to slander at will!"

This soul torture made Xu Xiaoman unable to find a ready-made theoretical refutation for a while, and also made Zhuma fall into deep thought, but it did not convince Maitijiang who had just returned on a camel and seemed to report something.
