664 Homecoming
"...Xiao Wang, let Master Zhang and the others come out to load the goods!" The lieutenant nodded, turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him.
"There's no need to rush. There are all old machine parts that no one is waiting to use. Walk slowly, safety first. By the way, you said today is the first delivery?"
"No, it's fate that I met you, sir, just after the opening. I know you have discipline and can't take anything from the refugees casually. This is a cigarette to celebrate the opening. Smoking one is not against the rules. Come on, light it up...
…”
What does it mean to be pervasive? Hong Tao is just that, he is always looking for small cracks in the eggshell. If he can't get in, he will never let it go. In fact, if he has a little patience, he will be a very good businessman. It's a pity that he just wants to make money.
I can't pretend anymore.
"Okay, let's be happy... This cigarette is not in vain. Come on, register your ID card. If you can walk at night, if there is more urgent work in the future, I will ask someone to go to it directly. Then you can
Don't say that this can't be done or that can't be done. Even if you knock on the door in the middle of the night, you still have to get up and hit the road... How about it, can you still brag about it?"
This lieutenant was much more accommodating than the Union soldiers standing guard on the Second Ring Road. Not only did he smoke a cigarette, he also threw one to the soldiers behind him, and then called a soldier over to take a notebook and ask for registration.
"Xiao Ma, what are you doing standing still? Get your ID card and ask the officer to register... No problem. We used to herd sheep and raise horses. Let alone drive at night. It's snowing so thickly and we find that the sheep are missing. It's still the same in the middle of the night.
Go out and search. Sometimes the search lasts for several days, sleeping in the open air and starving is nothing!"
What did the ancients say? Opportunities always favor those who are prepared! If you have the ability, you can seize the opportunity when it comes. If you can transport goods for the military and become a semi-regular customer, it will have a great impact on the future development of the transportation team.
Very helpful.
So Hong Tao started to cheat, and his identity was instantly switched to that of a herdsman. If there are two, there is no right to say two. He has to follow the three and blow him unconscious. Anyway, the round trip is only a hundred miles, and it will take more than half a day if you walk hard.
"Where is your hometown?" The lieutenant is not a child, so he doesn't have much feeling for such words, but he seems to be a little interested in the person in front of him.
"Jiu, Jiuquan...do you recognize my accent?" Hong Tao didn't hesitate. From the moment he started chatting, he carefully distinguished the officer's accent and was basically sure that he was not from the Northwest.
"I'm farther away than you, have you ever heard of Li Cheng?" The lieutenant nodded, seeming to have no doubts, and even told his origins.
"Good guy, isn't there someone...someone over there? It seems that they are not allowed to come and go casually. How did you get here?" Hong Tao was really surprised when he heard this answer. Good guy, it couldn't be the adjudicator chasing after him.
Right! Or is the Redeemer defeated?
"The last time I went home was more than ten years ago... After I graduated from college, I went to the south to settle down. I don't go back every year. Now that I feel more at ease, I might as well not go back. There will be no one there..." the lieutenant said
He was still a little emotional as he spoke, so he took a deep breath of cigarette and let out a long sigh to suppress it.
"Hey... being able to survive is the greatest reward for them. Sir, can I ask if I can get extra money if I travel at night?" A topic that could not be discussed further at this point, Hong Tao quickly interrupted.
, help the other party transfer their emotions.
"Tch, you're still young. You'll know after a few more months of work. If you can take the job directly from us, the price is at least twice as high as the company's. Don't worry, as long as it's an urgent job, the freight will definitely be charged.
Indispensable."
"It seems that you are not too young, and you are from the northwest. It is fate. I have to give you a few words of advice. This line of work is not easy, but you have already done it, so you can't just throw it away.
Try to avoid the long distances sent by the company as much as possible, especially the ones to the east."
"The railway there hasn't been opened yet. There are many transportation tasks every year. It takes a month or two to leave. Remember, as long as there is no army to escort the train, I will not accept it. Don't ask why!"
The lieutenant suppressed the unreasonable feeling of homesickness. He felt that the ferocious-looking old guy in front of him was very pleasing to his eyes, so he said a few more words before the goods were loaded.
Unlike the driver of the transportation team and the old man who drove the truck, he had no worries when talking about the inside story of the industry. He seemed to know more about it. Although he didn't explain it too clearly, he probably expressed his meaning clearly.
Of course, Hong Tao is very grateful. It is really rare to meet someone who is willing to help without any connection these days. Even if you don't have a job-recruiting relationship, it is still worth making friends.
So the lieutenant's name came up. His name was Yu Qing, 35 years old. He settled in Xuzhou before the zombie disease. He joined the alliance with a small local group 5 years ago.
Due to his relatively good military training results, he joined the Alliance Army the following year and performed well in several zombie-clearing operations. He was promoted to lieutenant the year before last and has been stationed here ever since. However, he has no idea what this factory does.
He said that Hong Tao didn't ask.
In about half an hour, the goods were packed. There were still eight large wooden boxes, but they were not sealed and were simply tied with ropes. Two of them didn't even have lids, and they were filled with dark things.
Machine parts with sludge dirt.
Yu Qing did not say goodbye. When the goods were almost finished loading, he was called into the factory by the soldiers and never came out again. Hong Tao did not deliberately wait to say goodbye. He told the soldiers to convey his gratitude and set off on his way back.
The road was still a daytime road, and there were still four people, but the situation was completely different. Yu Qing was not exaggerating at all. Ever since he left the processing plant for about a mile, heat sources on the roadside had flashed from time to time. But they were not people. Judging from their shape, they were small and medium-sized.
animal.
These guys are not afraid of people. They have been trying to get closer to the roadside. You can see pairs of green eyes without using a thermal sight. Coupled with the dark moonless night and the continuous howling, it is really scary.
It's a pity that they really found the wrong person. One of the four people on the carriage, who has never eaten the meat of wild cats and wild dogs? Faced with this situation, except for the horses, who were a little restless, everyone laughed and laughed without taking it seriously.
When there are too many, a dazzling light will suddenly flash in the dark night. Accompanied by the loud sound of gunshots, a cat or dog wandering on the roadside will become food for other animals to compete for, and the remaining green eyes will immediately
He didn't dare to get closer. It seemed that not only people were afraid of evil people, but also animals.
Generally speaking, the return journey was extremely peaceful, with nothing but wild beasts. Two carriages arrived at the weapons cache at around 3 o'clock in the middle of the night. They packed up everything they shouldn't have brought with them and entered the small courtyard one after another before dawn.
"Are you really in trouble?" Hu Yang was a little surprised that the convoy that had gone out to work for the first time came back early in the morning, but it didn't look like it had just experienced a battle.
"No, let's get some hot food first. We have to go to the base to deliver goods after dawn. Oh, yes, someone can call the fat sheep. I'm in a hurry." Hong Tao smiled and patted the old man.
shoulder to let him calm down.
"There's no need to call anyone. He has a walkie-talkie and keeps it on all night. Skinny Monkey has tried all the batteries you found and found more than 20 energy-saving ones that can be recharged. Now there is no shortage of batteries."
Hearing that nothing happened to the transport team, Hu Yang was completely relieved, and then gave him some very good news. As long as there are sufficient batteries and a walkie-talkie can be used to communicate in time, safety will be greatly improved.
"It's a pity. There are still a few electric cars in the red zone to the west. The battery packs have been removed... It doesn't matter. There are many electric cars. I'll look for them when I have time. Oh, by the way, I'll take the time to compile a channel list for you.
Fat sheep, skinny monkeys, and water snakes were carried on their backs."
"From now on, the call channel will be changed at least twice a day. This place is no better than the Redeemer Base. The East Asia Alliance has strong interception technology. Once it is monitored, you will be targeted. Don't take this seriously."
It is a good thing to have walkie-talkies available, but Hong Tao couldn't help but tremble when he thought of his record of using a personal radio to eavesdrop on other people's conversations and then taking advantage of them.
There is no shortage of talents in this field in the East Asia Alliance, and they also attach great importance to these technical means. I cannot say that they have expanded the monitoring network to all control areas. At least they will not turn a blind eye to strange radio signals in the safe zone. In addition, the internal affairs led by Lin Na
