"Brother, brother, come here for the first time? Come, come, it doesn't matter if you live or not, come and take a look. It's not my bragging, this is the safest place in the town. Every time the patrol team comes, you will stay at our house, you Living here is like having a sentry standing guard, it’s not that powerful!”
The northernmost hotel is a former industrial and commercial office, and the emblem on the door is still there.The guy is not very old, but his words are sharper than those of the previous ones, and he understands the psychology of customers. He didn't mention whether the beds are not clean or whether there is hot water. He only mentioned one advantage, which is safety.
"Where is the little brother from Gansu?" Hong Tao didn't say anything and couldn't help it, and first chatted with the little guy.
"You're from Gansu, right? My hometown is Tianshui, and I came here with my parents when I was a child!" The young man really caught Hong Tao's fake Gansu dialect, and first reported his family name.
"That's far away. I'm from Wuwei. No wonder your accent doesn't sound like it. In this way, I'll stay in the store. I'll feed the two horses first, and then I won't go in. I'll sleep outside the stables."
This makes the villain file a complaint first, saying that his accent is wrong, even though he doesn't quite like what he learned, and then choose a place farther away as his hometown.In fact, there are many accents in Gansu. It is difficult for local people to distinguish Longzhong, Longdong, Lanzhou, Hezhou, and Hexi.
Chapter 464
"Uh... the beds have been cleaned to ensure that there are no bugs!" The young man hesitated for a moment, feeling that this was inappropriate, and wanted to further reassure the customer's concerns.
"I'm not worried, it's the first time for them to travel far away. Don't worry, I'll sleep outside but I'll pay for the hotel!" Hong Tao didn't take a step forward, repeated his request, and followed the instructions posted on the door. Price handed over the shopping voucher.
"Hehehe... the outside is fine and clean... how about I bring you a bowl of hot water?" The young man seemed to understand something when he saw the denomination of the shopping coupon, and became more enthusiastic, busy helping unload the horse.
"..." Seeing the horses being led into the yard next to them and getting the horse storage card, Hong Tao took two parcels and saddlebags and walked to the corner between the stables and the door of the hotel with peace of mind, and took out dry rations and Kettle started to eat by himself.
This place is very good, deep in the dark, as long as there is no major movement, passers-by will hardly notice, but I can see the north and west directions clearly without any effort, and I can see the south at a glance with a little probe.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and instead of being bleak, the town became lively.The refugees carried out the oven, iron frame, tables and chairs from the hotel, lit firewood, took out all kinds of game from their backpacks, and barbecued on the street.
The grocery store didn't have to look around, it took out all the spirits brewed by each family, and went to sell them next to each crowd.How can you eat barbecue without drinking two cups? At this time, rich or poor will have two cups, and the market is very good.
"Sooner or later something will happen..." Hong Tao was too familiar with this kind of scene, he hurriedly stuffed two large packages and saddlebags into the corner, and then checked the pistol magazine.
In a certain life, when he was leading a ship on a long voyage, the first prohibition was to prohibit alcohol.As long as they are in port, the sailors will still be dizzy from drinking, and fighting is commonplace.Not only sailors fought with sailors, but also with locals.
Although the refugees are not as vigorous as the sailors, they are similar in essence.Why are sailors prone to trouble?It's not that they are born rude, but they are precarious and always between life and death, so they take life and death less seriously, and cherish the little happiness in front of them.
The refugees are actually the same, especially the gold diggers. God knows one day they will encounter blue devils in a certain ruin or be surrounded by zombies. It is useless to think so far away. Regret when dying.
Let such a group of people who don't know if there is a tomorrow get together and drink... Hong Tao doesn't know what the managers here think, they can't just sell more wine and ignore everyone's life and death.
"Manage his motherfucker, damn blacksmith..." But thinking about it, Hong Tao felt happy. There is no manager here. It's not even a refugee settlement. It's just because it's close to the zombie-controlled area that he became a gold digger. their foothold.
If you want to scold him, you can only scold that blacksmith shop for not being able to sell goods early or late, but it is only when you come that you are out of stock.If I had known that the night was so lively, I would never have waited for this night just to hug grass and beat rabbits.
The ancients said, whether it is a blessing or a disaster, it cannot be avoided.Hong Tao felt that he was about to become a rock, but within three hours the storm still came.
The center of the storm blew up between two groups of gold diggers in the south. I'm afraid most people can't explain why.Anyway, there was a quarrel first, and then there were more and more quarrels, and then there were roars, curses, and grunts, and the two sides started fighting.
This skirmish seemed to be the eye of the storm, bringing everyone around into it.Between gold diggers and gold diggers, between gold digger groups and gold digger groups, they liquidated each other through drinking, and more and more people joined the fight, and the degree gradually escalated.
Those who are in a hurry and are at a disadvantage will naturally want to strengthen their own strength. The easiest and most direct way is to copy guys.So the bare-handed fight turned into a life-and-death fight, and casualties began to appear.
"Pong, pong, pong..." At this moment, three gunshots suddenly came from the south.
"Stop, stop everyone! Look at what you are all doing, can you deny your relatives when you are drunk? He, he, he, maybe he and you dealt with zombies yesterday, because of trivial matters, white knives go in and red knives come out Is it worth it! I know everyone is sad, but it is not the person who snatched you a few packs of cigarettes, nor the person who stole your shopping coupons in the middle of the night. The real culprit is eating at Yining’s base right now. Hot meals, drinking real wine, and hugging young nuns. If you think killing everyone in here will make them blink, go ahead!"
The fighting crowd hesitated because of the gunshots, the noise suddenly decreased, and a slightly weak male voice with an extremely firm tone sounded.
Hong Tao looked towards the south side of the street. Standing on a table tens of meters away was a man of short stature who was wearing a cloak but took off his hood. crowd.
"Damn it, this is the rebel army, right!?" Hong Tao couldn't see clearly because the person's face was facing the southwest, but he heard these words clearly, and a word immediately came to mind.In old world theory, this is standard reactionary.
"Xiao Guo, come here, hurry up and tell the checkpoint that there are traitors here!" In fact, not only Hong Tao thought so, but also someone at the left hotel door thought so, and even said it.
"..." Hong Tao turned his head slightly, and there was a man in sportswear standing at the door of the store. With the light from the lantern, he could see some graying on his neatly combed hair, and he must be quite old.
"Okay..." Following the soft answer, another person flashed out from the store door, it was the young man who received him in the evening.
"Don't ride a bicycle, go to the stables to find two horses and walk from behind. You must be fast, and you must ask platoon leader Zhang to bring people over before [-]:[-] tomorrow morning. If they cross the river later, it will be difficult to find them! ... Let Zhang Platoon leader, be careful, there are five or six people in this group, and they may be armed. When I came in the afternoon, I felt that they had a problem, unlike gold diggers, whose eyes are always looking around, as expected!"
From the conversation between the two, the old man should be the owner of this hotel.After instructing the clerk, he returned to the shop immediately, neither of them noticed a big living person sitting in the shadow of the corner.
Even the young man might have forgotten, when he walked quickly into the stables, he passed the place where Hong Tao was sitting, and without looking this way, he went straight to the innermost stable, and quickly mounted the horses. saddlery.
While he was busy, he suddenly hesitated, turned his head sharply, and at the same time raised his left arm, retreated, twisted his waist, and turned his elbow.But before the move was fully launched, a big hand grabbed his throat tightly, and at the same time, someone clinged to his back.
This elbow did hit the opponent, but the distance was too close and he didn't exert any force. He just felt that he had hit something hard, and his elbow hurt.At the same time, his body was involuntarily turned half a circle to the left by the opponent, and his feet were still caught by something, unable to rotate with his body, he lost his balance in an instant, and fell straight on his back.
Depending on the feeling, it seems that he is putting pressure on the other party, which should be regarded as an advantage.But in fact, the boy's waist was locked tightly by two legs, his ribs were hurting, his neck was wrapped by an arm from behind, and there was a cold thing pressing against his throat.Even without the bright light, you can feel its sharpness.
"Little brat has also practiced muay thai, so he has a quick reaction... If you don't want to be stabbed, be honest! Raise your arms and tie them yourself!" At this time, a man's deep voice came from behind his head, as well as the heat of his breath.
The little guy didn't think anything wrong because the arm that strangled his neck was loosened. He knew that he had encountered a hard stubble, or that he was an experienced Lianjiazi.The opponent's head was always tightly attached to the back of his neck, and the dagger on his throat was pressed very tightly.If you want to break free from the next head hammer, the neck must be cut open first.
"My friend, did you recognize the wrong person? I'm just a handyman, and I don't have any valuables on me." The boy had no choice but to take the rope, tied two loopers with his arms up, put his gloves in, and bit the rope with his teeth. His head tightened, but he still wanted to find out the other party's intentions just in case.
Chapter 465 Let you die and understand
"Raise your arms above your head, and turn slowly to the left..." Unfortunately, there was no answer, but there was a new order.Soon the boy was lying on the ground face down with his arms raised high. At this time, the dagger left his throat, but the man behind him was riding on his waist and put his feet on ropes.
"Go and lead the horse..." The person on the body finally left.
"It's you..." The young man struggled to get up from the ground, finally saw the person standing two meters away, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Go and lead the horse, go from behind!" The person who attacked the boy was Hong Tao, he hated to tell people behind his back, and at this time the dagger had been replaced by a pistol with a silencer.
"Are you... a person who rebelled against the rebel army?" The boy's eyes flickered a few times, but he followed the instructions and walked to the stable with small steps. He untied the reins and led the two horses slowly towards the back door of the stable. Still staggers from time to time.
He had already assessed the situation and knew that resistance was useless.This refugee who claimed to be a fellow from Gansu must have heard the conversation between himself and the boss before suddenly getting angry.
At this time, it is meaningless to pretend to be misunderstood except to cause more suffering, and it seems that it is not easy to find a chance to escape.This person was very cautious and never got closer than one meter. His hands were tied, and there was only a rope less than a foot long between his feet, so he couldn't even take a step.
"Is this hotel run by a penance?" The man did not answer but asked.
"..." The boy nodded.
"Which one here is opened by the Penance Society?"
"I don't know, even if there is, we won't know each other." The boy walked forward in small steps while thinking about how to get out.During this period of time, you can only ask and say what you want, and the longer you delay, the more opportunities you will have.
"Are the people who stopped the fight in the street the rebels?"
"It's almost the same. They arrived in the afternoon. They wanted to cross the river directly, but they stayed in the store because the ferry cable was broken. I felt something was wrong when they entered the door. Two of them didn't look like refugees. Said When there was no single room to sleep on the Datong bunk, although they didn’t say anything, they looked at each other a few times before making a decision, a bit reluctant. When looking for a bunk, they insisted on placing their heads against the wall, and one of them covered his nose several times. He may think that he has covered it up, but in my eyes, it is very abnormal, and refugees will not dislike the smell in the house. At first, the boss and I were not sure... oops..."
The young man answered very carefully, and even told what Hong Tao didn't ask, but at the critical moment, he suddenly slipped, staggered two steps and fell into the ditch by the side of the road.
"You'd better stand up and answer the questions by yourself right away. You may still have a chance to live. Don't say that you need help if your arms and legs are broken. I'm the most afraid of trouble. I don't bother to eat too many fishbone. Walking with a cripple. You are still young, be patient. I am going to take you back to KS as a prisoner. There are many opportunities along the way, so why fight every second to kill Qingqing!"
The ditch is not deep, just a crack left after the road was washed away by the flood.But there are a lot of big rocks in it, it must be hard to fall down.Seeing the little boy grinning and grinning, Hong Tao smiled instead.What are you thinking, I will help you, you can take the opportunity to resist, dream!
The young man grunted and got up, and continued to limp and lead the horse forward, as if he didn't have any bad ideas at all, but his mind was in a mess.
I really wanted to fight to the death just now, and took advantage of the opportunity of falling to grab a relatively sharp stone, as long as the opponent approached, I would have a chance to launch a surprise attack.I didn't expect this guy to be such a thief, and he couldn't be fooled.
Now it is more than 200 meters away from the hotel, and the street is in a mess again, and it is not necessarily possible for anyone to hear it, and at most there is only one chance to yell.
Especially after hearing the other party say that he would arrest him and return to KS, even though he knew it was not credible, he still had some expectations.That's right, the road from here to KS is long and tortuous, and it takes at least a month to walk.
It is impossible for anyone to be vigilant about what will happen if they are not kept together during this period.As long as you let yourself get the dagger tied to your calf, there is still a chance.
It's a pity that he was wrong, mainly because he met an old bastard who was full of lies and could tell the truth.Within two kilometers, without any warning, the boy suddenly fell to the ground, pink blood froth came out of his mouth and nose, he kept kicking his legs, staring at him with wide eyes man.
"Don't blame me. As the saying goes, a crock can never be broken without the well, and the general will inevitably forget it before the battle. Being a secret agent is inseparable from being blacked out. You deserve to die, and you should be happy. Don't think about KS, I am not a rebel. After chatting for so long, I just thought too much about the situation of the Redeemer and the Ascetic Order."
"You speak very well. I understand everything. I will leave you a whole body. Even if God sees it, he will praise me for being righteous. There must be a lot of people who died of your whistleblowing over the years, right? Remember, the next life will be the best." Don't do such immoral work..."
"Oh, by the way, you must want to know who I am, don't you? Come on, look clearly... Don't close your eyes, or I'll save you and shoot you again! I'm not some mighty man from Gansu Province. I was born in the capital, and my name is You Luo. I live in XXXXX, East Third Ring Road."
"Remember, after turning into a ghost, go to this address to cause harm. Don't be soft-hearted. If you have any tricks, you will be punished to death. Hey, your vitality is quite strong, let's do it, then I will smoke a cigarette and wait, you If I don’t die, I won’t go, just be so responsible!”
Of course, Hong Tao didn't intend to bring a secret agent from the Ascetic Order to KS. He just said it casually, so as to save others the risk of fighting for his life.Now that I have walked far enough, there is a cliff next to it, and below it is a rushing river. It's a dark moon and a high wind.
I don't know if it's because Hong Tao's marksmanship is too bad, or because the young man's vitality is particularly tenacious, and he waited for two cigarettes before he died.If you want to ask why you didn't hit your head... It's not because Hong Tao is too kind, he can't see the scene of blood dripping all over his brain, so he chooses to hit his lungs.
In this way, there will be a period of excruciating pain before death, but because the blood clogs the trachea and nasal cavity and cannot make a sound, he can only wheeze and wheeze the bellows.
Boys can use this time to take a good look at the magnificent mountains and rivers, think about the past life, and consider what to do in the next life.The address was not his own, but Jiao San's.Not to mention that there are no ghosts, if there are, Jiao Sanke will copy them.
The next step is to push the body down the river bank, get some soil to cover the blood on the ground, and pick up the bullet casings.This is a good thing. Although the Yining base can't make bullets until now, it can be reloaded with propellant of large-caliber shells, so the shells are very valuable.
After finishing all this, Hong Tao strolled back to the town, bought a bottle of bootleg spirits, and found a barbecue stand to join him.Where there is wine, there is meat to eat, and the refugees don't care too much about who eats more and eats less. These wild game are all hunted nearby and are worthless.
Hong Tao didn't drink much, didn't eat much meat, and didn't chat with the refugees much, but concentrated on staring at the five people sitting diagonally opposite the barbecue stall through the snow mirror.
They were the suspicious-looking gold diggers that the hotel clerk said, and the small man with a thin face and glasses should have just stood on the table and shouted.He looks a bit like Fang Wenlin, with a more elegant demeanor and a clean-shaven face. He should be almost 50 years old, and there are a lot of white strands in his short hair.
There are also two relatively strong middle-aged men, they are as old as myself, still wearing snow goggles at night, with stubble on their faces, drinking heavily and eating meat, just like refugees.
The remaining two people also covered up quite tightly, not only with snow goggles, but even without taking off their hoods.But no matter how you hide it, if you observe carefully, you can find that it is different from the refugees.
For example, use a small knife to cut barbecue meat, and each piece is very small.Another example is that the range of chewing movements is too quiet, taking small bites very slowly.Another example is when a person is holding a wine bowl, the little finger and ring finger are always raised involuntarily. As the saying goes, it is called orchid finger.
"You bastard, you deserve to be recognized when you ran into the enemy-occupied area with your girls!" Hong Tao looked at it for a while, and when the five people got up and walked back to the hotel after eating, they basically came to a conclusion. At least one of the people in the hood is a woman.
Chapter 466 It's a Misfortune
In addition to the imposing manner of eating and the feminine gestures of holding things, the posture of walking reveals his identity even more.Even though she had changed on purpose, she couldn't hide it from Hong Tao's countless beautiful eyes.
If the boy was present, Hong Tao would definitely let him smoke a cigarette before shooting.Well-trained and vicious, all dedicated people should be rewarded, no matter what they do. 360 There is no high or low in the five elements, only the division of labor is different.
At about one o'clock in the middle of the night, the street finally cleared up. The shops also moved back their own tables, chairs, and grills, and sent people to clean them before closing their doors to prepare for a rest.
It seems that this kind of carnival-like event today is not the first time. As long as there are more refugees, no one needs to call, and it will naturally form.
Hong Tao still went to the old place, and still dozed off frequently, paying attention to the movement on the street and in the hotel all the time.Until dawn, except for a few wild cats or weasels poking their heads and smelling the smell of meat, no one came out to walk around.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Just as the sun was showing half of his face from the east, a strong man walked out of the blacksmith shop. Even though the temperature in the morning was a little low, he was still wearing short sleeves, yawning Stretching his waist, he picked up the hammer and knocked on a broken iron plate hanging at the door of the blacksmith shop.
As if it was the bell for class, the originally quiet streets soon became agitated. Blacksmith shops and grocery stores took off their thick door panels and window panels one after another, and opened their doors to prepare for business.
There was even more noise in the hotel. Group after group of refugees wearing shabby cloaks of various colors, carrying packages of all sizes, walked towards the river in groups.
There was also a big bald man standing in the middle of the road, yelling non-stop, urging the migrant workers under him not to be lazy, to bring their tools and assemble quickly, and threatened that there would be no dinner if they could not pull back enough steel bars today.
Obviously, this guy is a foreman who recycles scrap steel. He and the refugees he hired didn't go to the ruins to find valuable materials, but to pick up rubbish at the edge of the ruins, and demolished the house to collect scrap steel bars.
Although this kind of work has very low income and can barely maintain food and drink, it is the first choice of many refugees.They don't have the ability or the guts to find valuable supplies from the pile of zombies, they can only do this kind of work, and they can't wait to starve to death.
This made Hong Tao heave a sigh of relief. I came late yesterday, and I really didn't know that there were more than 300 people living in the hotel on this street.If they all went to the city of Korla to search for treasures, then I didn't plan to get close to them, because there are too many people and accidents may happen.
Hong Tao was not in a hurry to cross the river, he just sat in the corner and watched the old blacksmith repair the traps.He is not in a hurry, there is no need to compete with so many people to board the boat.There is only one small iron boat by the river, which can transport 30 people at one time.My two horses have to occupy half of the space, and I will probably be scolded if I go there.
Just in time, let's eat breakfast during this time. Most of the refugees obviously don't have breakfast, so they can't be too ostentatious, they have to hide in their cloaks and eat secretly.
"Wow..." I just took a bite of the compressed biscuit and was about to touch the kettle when the water fell from the sky and it was still warm.This head and face ticked down along the snow mirror.
"Ah..." Someone whispered at the door of the hotel, and the black shadow disappeared in a flash.
"Fuck, I'm Yuluo now. How dare someone splash footwashing water. I really don't know how to write the word dead!"That guy was holding a copper basin in his hand, even if it wasn't for the footwashing water, it would definitely not be very clean.
"Brother, brother, I'm really sorry. My companion just woke up, and his eyes haven't opened yet. I really didn't see it. It's not intentional. So, how about I invite you for breakfast?"
Just when Hong Tao got up and was about to go to the store to ask who had eaten the bear's heart and leopard courage, a short-haired man walked out of the hotel quickly, and came to him, apologizing and apologizing.Seeing that Hong Tao was holding half a piece of wet compressed biscuit in his hand, he quickly took out a packaged biscuit from his arms and handed it over.
"If your friend doesn't get rid of his orchid fingers, eating slowly, and washing his face with warm water, he will be in trouble sooner or later."
Hong Tao didn't take the compressed biscuit, and threw half of the biscuit in his hand into the stable, picked up the package and saddle bag and left.While the two of them were staggering, they whispered something in the man's ear, and didn't even look at the guy standing a few meters away with his head down.
Sorry, this is the old man who stood on the table last night to persuade everyone not to fight and hurt others, and was identified by the hotel owner as a rebel.It should not look that old, but there are a lot of wrinkles on the face and gray hair.Maybe it's because I didn't rush to put on my glasses when I got up in the morning, but the indentations on both sides of the bridge of the nose are quite obvious.
And the guy who poured water on himself, and now stands far behind and pretends to be honest, is the woman he sees through.This guy really doesn't know how to live or die, he washes his face with warm water in the morning, why don't he take a bath.
It is good for the refugees to wash their faces with river water every day, and it is very particular for those who take a bath in the river for half a month.Even the refugees in the Yining settlement do not dare to live such a luxurious life. Those who can develop this habit cannot be said to be 100% not refugees, but it also adds doubts out of thin air.
Originally, I didn't need to warn them, but I just killed people for this matter last night. If they don't restrain themselves and continue to expose, they will be finally caught by the spies of the Ascetic Society. bullet.
The people in the blacksmith shop are very diligent and trustworthy. Now that the cigarettes have been collected, the first job in the morning is to repair Hong Tao's animal trap first. The three of them rattled each other and quickly replaced the spring. up.
But when Hong Tao left the hotel with his horse and walked to the ferry by the river, he found that those five people were standing on the pier. The ferry came back after standing for about 5 minutes. The five people waited for Hong Tao to get on the horse and the boat followed them. come up.
"Brother, can we discuss something?" The man in glasses raised his hood and came over to offer a cigarette.
"No..." Facing such a weird thing, Hong Tao didn't even try to hide it, and just opened his eyes and told nonsense.When he first came to the pier, he was clearly smoking a cigarette, and now he said this to remind the other party: I am very vigilant, and I don’t like you, so don’t make yourself uncomfortable.
"..." The man wearing glasses didn't speak any more, and waited until the boat reached the other side, and after everyone had walked a few hundred meters, there was no one around before blocking Hong Tao again.
"We are going to the west. There is a person whose body is not suitable for a long journey. He wants to hire you and your horse. What is the right price?"
Hong Tao has been standing by the river since he got off the boat, wanting to wait for these five people to come to the front.He now has two pistols with their safety on, with a total of 5 rounds in their magazines.
There are two horses for cover, and the odds are 5-[-] to preemptively deal with them in [-] short periods of time.If a confrontation can be formed and he is not seriously injured, the odds of winning can be increased to [-]%. At that time, automatic rifles and grenades can come in handy.
"Hire or rob?" The [-]% chance is not too low, and Hong Tao is very confident.
"...Only the two of us, they will take the route to the south, there is no possibility of snatching." The man with glasses smiled and waved his hands slightly to the back. The two strong men led the thinner man slowly toward Walking to the south, only the suspected woman did not move.
