"...You mean that the transport team is capable, but you don't know when it will be killed by your colleagues, right?" This lecture lasted more than half an hour. Like many old people, the old man who drove the truck liked to think about everything he said in the past, and must

To start from the beginning, we have to follow his narrative habits.

He couldn't explain some of the things clearly, such as the origin of Sun Changzhong, who controlled the transportation industry in the entire Beijing Security Zone, and why he had so much power. But Hong Tao basically understood the final conclusion, and according to his wishes, he did his best.

I hate you. If you do a bad job and can't pay for the license, you will be compensated by everyone.

"Unless you can hug Sun Changzhong's thick legs..." The old man nodded.

"Then did you also follow his path?" Lu Weian had been listening, and only now did he know what kind of business he wanted to do in the future. If he didn't want to do it? He really couldn't help himself. The only thing he could do was to help fill in the gaps.

"I'm different. My licenses were issued in the first batch by the alliance, and this is the only batch issued. As long as I pay management fees to the alliance, no one can take care of these licenses."

"Then isn't Sun Changzhong jealous? If he is really as dangerous as you said, it wouldn't be difficult for him to deal with you... Or maybe you are being protected in the base?"

Lu Weian was not very satisfied with this answer. According to the introduction just now, it is useless for the transportation team to have a license. At most, it can save some rental fees every year... The key point is whether the goods can be delivered safely to people in normal business activities.

Can you come back safely?

"No matter how long his hands are, he can only make waves outside the safe zone. I just wander around the south of the city and the north and east of the city. No matter how much I pay for distant work, I can't interfere with his business. But it's different for you.

After paying the annual rental fee, you can’t make back your money just by running a short distance, so why do you want to do a business that is obviously losing money?”

The old man glanced at Lu Weian and was not very happy. He had seen this fat black man defraud many batches of refugees, and one day he just said a few words. Unexpectedly, the fat black man suddenly changed his body and wanted to become a Buddha immediately. It was not clear whether he could become a Buddha.

Anyway, before I became a Buddha, I still looked down upon him.

"Brother, is it difficult to buy your type of license plate?" Hong Tao understood somewhat. This situation is very similar to the taxi industry in Beijing in the old world.

Most of the licenses are in the hands of rental companies. Anyone who wants to work has to rent, and then pay a very high fee every month. If you run for your life, you will end up with tens of thousands of dollars, which is about the same as working. But there are still

The very few individual taxi licenses were issued when the taxi industry was just emerging.

This kind of license does not involve any money other than the management fee paid to the taxi management department. You buy the vehicle yourself and replace it yourself when it is scrapped. You are completely responsible for your own profits and losses. The operating cost is very low. With a little work, you can outperform most taxi drivers.

Earn more.

"You can't buy it at all. I, an old leader of the engineering corps, helped with the transfer. It's just a reward for raising horses. Sun Changzhong basically bought the rest. He could afford a high price, but he really didn't know how to do anything else.

If you can’t stay idle, who wants to run this business in the wind and rain all day long?”

"Okay, then I'll give up on this first. There's another question. If we want to start a transportation business, where can we buy horses? Is it expensive?" After hearing this, Hong Tao basically had a general direction in mind, but

There are still some details that need to be clarified before you can decide whether to do it or not.

"Horses are easy to handle. You can rent or buy them. They are not expensive, and you don't need a very good one to pull a cart. You can buy one for 200 yuan. I just saw that you also have the skills to train horses. I'm afraid

It’s no problem raising horses, right?”

"Actually, the alliance still encourages refugees to engage in transportation. Not to mention other things, just transporting oil, marine fish, and machinery and equipment from Jinmen Port to this side is a lot of work, and the prices are reasonable."

"It's just that we have Sun Changzhong... Oh, let's not talk about him. If you want to buy a horse, go to the management office to get a pass, and follow the alliance's shuttle bus to the north of the city to choose for yourself. There are two buses every week. The security team escorts the car very safely.

"

"But when you come back, you have to ride your own horse. It's best to go around from the west, not too far away. Sun Changzhong's company is in the safe zone in the east of the city. He also rents out horses. If he sees you going north to buy horses,

I’m afraid I’m going to cause trouble.”

The old man driving the car became more and more awkward as he talked. He wanted to see the refugees who had this skill make a living based on their skills, but with Sun Changzhong in the middle, there was no way anyone could do anything about it. But he didn't want to speak ill of the alliance, so he could only deal with such problems in one area.

But no matter how hard I jump, I can't get over it.

Originally, Hong Tao wanted to stay with the old man for a meal. He had already chosen a restaurant, so he went to the first floor of Xiushan Apartment diagonally across the street. But the old man driving the car was unwilling to stay, so he pushed him back and forth and only left his name and address. He said he still had problems.

Go to him and ask. If you can't help with anything else, just use your words to make sure there's no problem.

"Brother, I can see that you are a person who does great things. It is also said in novels that heroes emerge in troubled times. But you just become heroes, have you ever thought about the suffering of those who have no ability? The more heroes there are, the better they will be.

Ku, if it’s not too much of a problem, could you please raise your hand when you take a step?”

While there was still some time before dark, Hong Tao led the horse and sent the old driver out of the house. When leaving, the old man squeezed Hong Tao's hand and gave some serious instructions. It could be seen from his dim eyes that there was hope.

But more than anything, I am still helpless.

He himself probably knew that these words were of no use, but he couldn't help but say it. Just like when he reminded himself that Lu Weian was unreliable, he knew there would be risks but never looked back. It's a pity that there are too few such people, and even more

Not tolerated by society.

"Heilong, don't clean up the house yet. Come and help me work together for a while. It's time for you to get some exercise. Don't do it in vain. After you finish, I will make a bunk bed with a desk underneath for your son, and then install a stove.

A coal stove ensures warmth in winter!”

It was a sigh of relief. After more than ten seconds, Hong Tao gathered his mood and returned to the digging project, and also captured Lu Weian, who had just returned.

This excavation lasted for four days. If it weren't for lunch, I wouldn't even bother to go to the moat construction site. No one knew why this hero suddenly became crazy. He didn't ask and just smiled.

"God, what is down here!"

On the evening of the fourth day, with a violent landslide, all the gravel at the bottom of the cave fell down, leaving a dark hole, with warm air blowing out. As the commander-in-chief of the project, Huang Niu, waist

I got in first with a rope tied inside, and looked around with my flashlight for a long time, but I was still confused.

"It's the vent of the subway. There is a door leading to the tunnel from here." Hong Tao did not go down. He only needed to feel the familiar airflow to know that he had succeeded. He no longer hid it from everyone and told the answer.

"Subway...is there a subway here?" The most surprised person was Lu Weian. He had lived in the fifth security zone in the south of the city for several years and had never heard of a subway line below.

"Look at the map yourself. It's marked with Metro Line 17!" Hong Tao knew someone would ask this, so he had no idea, so he continued to lie.

"No, why isn't it on my map? Look, it's the new map for 2021!" Unfortunately, someone stood up and exposed it this time. The lazy dog ​​turned around and ran into the building. He quickly came back with a map and pointed at this area.

Let Hong Tao see the area.

"I'm a lazy dog, do you understand the difference between military maps and civilian maps? This line may not have been officially opened to traffic and has not been printed on the civilian map."

If Hong Tao's lies were exposed so easily, he would have been killed dozens of times. If a lie didn't have at least three lies behind it, he wouldn't even bother to tell it.

Metro Line 17 does not appear on many maps. The reason is simple. It had not yet been opened when the zombie disease broke out. But most of this line has indeed been repaired, especially the southern half. The platforms and service facilities are all complete.

It is almost the same as formal operation.

Why do you know so clearly? Nonsense, this was the main battlefield when resisting the attack of the zombie army. As the commander-in-chief, he must personally make the final decision on everything that affects the construction of the defense line.
