The first time he went out into the mountains, Hong Tao rode a horse. He planned to visit Urumqi, which is 500 kilometers away. But he ran back within a few days. No, he didn’t have to walk by himself while riding a tall horse. It was comfortable, but it was dangerous.

Too big.

As soon as he walked along the old world road to the vicinity of Kuitun, he was stopped by a group of soldiers dressed in black and patrolling in an armored vehicle. After a few words, they snatched the horse and searched him, unless they said he was a suspect.

of rebels.

How could this happen? Hong Tao didn't talk nonsense. He took advantage of the disobedient horse and took out the paratrooper knife from his boot. Once, twice, three times, the three soldiers surrounding him had more on their necks.

He made a small gash that spurted blood, threw a grenade into the roof of the armored vehicle, mounted his horse and ran away.

After this trip, Hong Tao probably had some insights. Now that the world has changed, the rules have also changed, and he must change accordingly.

How to change? The first thing is to dress up. The US military training uniforms found in the embassy must not be worn outside. It is too eye-catching. Not to mention the soldiers being suspicious, the refugees who saw tattered clothes on the road also secretly wore them in surprise.

Staring.

If you want to avoid being suspicious at a glance, you have to blend in among them. The easiest person to dress up is the refugee. He doesn’t have the tattered clothes that meet the requirements, but Kerim does. He wears that sheepskin jacket all year round, and it’s dirty.

Can't tell the difference in color.

No need to say, let him make himself a pair, no matter fishing, logging or working, he will wear it when cooking, and he will have to put on the oil on his hands after eating mutton. In less than a month, hey, you are going to wear it again

Look, I am a herdsman myself!

The large cloaks used by the refugees to keep out the cold and wind are easier to handle. Find a windbreaker from your wardrobe and sew all kinds of rags on it. Once the sewing is full, it will be complete. Not to mention, this thing is really good at keeping out the wind.

The ones that keep out the wind and cold are just a little heavy.

The next layer is a camouflage uniform and a tactical vest, and the outer layer is a torn leather jacket and torn leather trousers. The land combat boots are patched with two pieces of leather sewn on, and they are covered with a cloak and hood.

build……

It seemed that he was still confused. What was wrong? Hong Tao took a careful look in the mirror. Well, it was his eyes and face. They were too easy to remember.

This is easy to do, just get a pair of sunglasses... If they are not practical, then get a pair of snow goggles, covering half of your face including your eyes. Hehe, even if early autumn comes now, you won’t be able to recognize it!

Is it enough to just have costumes? Of course not. You need to make up lies and act in a complete set. You have to dress like a herdsman and talk like a herdsman. This is not difficult. I have been with Kerim for 4 years, even if I have not fully learned it.

It’s no problem to learn their language and their accent.

Now that he has the appearance and the same language, he still needs a name that suits his identity. What should he call it? At first, he told Kerim that his name was Afanti, but this title was not a name at all, but an honorific for a learned person.

, and I need to find a name more like a Kazakh or Kirgiz name.

So in the late summer and early autumn of 2027, a Kirgiz herdsman from Ilbires Bahati appeared at the checkpoint of the Kuitun garrison on his bicycle.

Ilbyres means snow leopard in the Kirgiz language, and is also the name of the Crimean son. Bahati is the surname of the Crimean. He is a fair-weather friend, so he should have no problem with borrowing his last name.

This time it was much better. Faced with an unlucky herdsman who couldn't even speak Chinese fluently and smelled of mutton, the soldiers were more interested in the mutton carried on the back of the bicycle. So Hong Tao was unlucky again. The mutton he brought was not available yet.

After exchanging it, a large chunk was taken away for free.

People had to bow their heads under the eaves. Anyway, Hong Tao didn't plan to make a fortune by selling meat. Just take it. Once you take it, you can't cause any more trouble. But he thought wrong. The trouble had just begun. He didn't wait until he reached the garrison camp.

, and was stopped again in a refugee settlement.

This time they were not soldiers, but refugees like him, or the ruling class among the refugees. These seven or eight people monopolized the labor market in Kuitun, taking various temporary jobs from the garrison, and then selling them to refugees in need of work.

.

If you don’t have money to buy it, don’t be afraid. If you owe it, you go to work first. When the salary is paid, the Redeemer’s logistics officer will give them food as payment in one lump sum according to the workload and number of people, and then they will pay according to the number of people.

At this time, you can repay the debt, just like those people in the old world who used their positions, connections, and capital to make contracts and peel off their skins to obtain extra profits by squeezing the refugees.

You don’t have to buy it if it’s too expensive, then don’t even think about finding a job. Logistics officials won’t ask the refugees one by one how much their wages are, and they don’t bother to manage them, so they won’t pay attention to individual refugees at all.

The most important thing is that the logistics officer is also the contractor. He first peels off a layer of skin before entrusting the lucrative work to the more controllable people among the refugees, and then subcontracts to the lower levels. In fact, they are a team.

Yes, who do you want to talk to?

While relying on the Redeemer officials, these people used their work to control many refugees. What was this called in the old world? Yes, what was the name of a gang with the nature of a heise society at this time?

It doesn’t make any sense, they can be called anything. There are two groups of people here in Kuitun. One group controls the handling work at the freight station, and the other controls the temporary workers in the refinery. The former is called Boss Gao. In fact, it is not one person, but a group of people.

, the leader’s surname is Gao. The latter’s name is Kurbanjiang, and his subordinates are all from ethnic minorities.

These people may have been flexible and courageous refugees at the beginning, and they got together in order to get together and earn more food. But as they continued to work, they were no longer satisfied with just drinking the blood of the temporary workers, and they became a vaguely populated area for homeless people.

The overlord here has to bully and dominate the market and dominate.

The refugees do not all rely on temporary workers to make a living. The main reason is that there are many meat and young wolves and there are not so many jobs. Many refugees group together and go in groups to search for items from the old world outside the human-occupied areas to find the redeemer.

What the base needs can be taken back in exchange for food, medicine, weapons and ammunition, and they are called gold diggers.

But in fact, gold diggers also have to be skinned, specifically through Boss Gao and Kurbanjiang, but the interests involved may not only be the Redeemer's logistics officials, but also the local garrison and supervisors.

Trappist monks who enforced the law were also involved.

Anyway, the items exchanged by the gold diggers, apart from bartering with each other, can only be sold to the base opened by Gao Boss and Kurbanjiang first. Items purchased by the Ascetic Society for a long time and temporarily added

Prices will be given for items and posted at the entrance of the base purchase point.

But few people can go to the buying point to sell goods. They are stopped just after passing by the refugee settlement, and they insist on selling at a lower price. Sell it or not. If you sell it, you will only suffer a loss. If you don't sell it, you dare to leave the sentinel.

No one can guarantee your personal safety without sight.

In fact, sentries are not good people. Many of them were bribed by these two groups. They were beaten in front of them and robbed as if they didn't see it. In this environment, the vast majority of refugees chose to surrender.

Hong Tao was intercepted by Boss Gao's people. After a few words, he understood what was going on, and then he gave in and sold the meat at the price they gave.

What is this called? The ancients gave several nice adjectives, such as those who know the current affairs are called heroes, and those who know the current affairs are called heroes, and those who are good men do not suffer immediate losses, and there is no need to worry about having green hills without firewood. Anyway, they all sound quite philosophical.

As a result, fewer and fewer people dared to resist, and the exploitation became more and more severe.

When you no longer want to understand current affairs, you can't afford the loss at hand, Qingshan can't keep you anymore, and you want to resist, you will find that you are surrounded by extremely tolerant philosophers. Whoever resists will become an alien. Not only will they be attacked by the enemy, but they will also be attacked by enemies.

They will also be ridiculed by philosophers who are also victims.

Hong Tao is not a philosopher. He is also very petty and doesn't even understand the principle that a gentleman takes revenge every ten years. He suffered a loss during the day. Cheng, there are many of you and there are sentries with guns. We can't defeat him. It doesn't matter, sooner or later it will happen.

Black, I also have weapons!

Taking the shopping coupons exchanged for mutton, he left from the main road through the sentry, but did not go far. He returned to the place where the weapons were hidden, had something to eat, then covered himself with a cloak and stared for a few hours. As soon as it got dark, Hong Tao, fully armed

I touched it again.

It must be difficult to sneak into the garrison base unnoticed, but entering the ruins of a city where refugees live is not easy. Sentinels and bunkers are on the road, and equipped with night vision goggles, he will not even alert a weasel.

I visited Boss Gao's shop just as I had done during the day.
