In fact, even without the vicious looks from those coachmen, Hong Tao was still a little worried about the long journey. His doubts mainly came from Feng Zhen's expression. When he took him through the formalities in the morning, he always seemed to have something to say that he couldn't say directly. He hesitated and used very reserved expressions.

Ways to warn, commission!

This scalper, who specializes in sewing, actually forgot to ask for 10% commission from him after completing the formalities. Hong Tao definitely couldn't believe that he forgot. This was not the case when they first met. He shouldn't have forgotten to take the food if he forgot to eat.

Money, this is professional ethics.

What's more likely is that there are some things that this guy can't say directly, or even tactfully, and can only use this very abnormal behavior to remind himself. From this point of view, Feng Zhen and the old driver are both good people, and they can't even say it tactfully.

They have all been caught up by themselves, so their luck is not bad.

Different from the road he took to Langfang last time, the route he took this time was a little further west, taking the Beijing-Taiwan Expressway for a long time. At first, Hong Tao was still wondering why he had to take a long detour, but after passing the Sixth Ring Road, he probably

Got it. There are small alliance troop stations every 20 kilometers or so, and there will probably be about a squad of troops stationed there.

According to Hong Tao's understanding, these military depots do not have much role as outposts, but more to protect road safety. In other words, this road is the main road from the capital to Jinmen. He actually took a smaller road before, so

There are basically no other vehicles visible along the way.

"Didi...didi..." Near noon, a loud flute sounded in the distance. The carriages pulled to the roadside one after another, and a tanker truck from the opposite side slowly drove over along the road.

"This guy still has some energy, Brother Mouse, can we get one in the future?" The car was a fuel tanker, but the front of the car was a tracked armored vehicle. The tiger's eyes were bright and he was drooling.

"I'm afraid it's too choked..." Although this car has been dismantled from many important parts, and even the driver's compartment and rear body made of thick steel plates have been cut away, Hong Tao can still see it at a glance.

Its true form, a tracked ammunition carrier...

At present, the East Asia Alliance may not have a source of rubber, or may not have mastered the technology of vulcanized rubber, or may not have the equipment to manufacture tires. Anyway, most of the tires are no longer usable, especially those with large load capacity. So the Alliance

Many crawler vehicles have been modified to reduce weight and are used for transportation.

Hong Tao really didn't have anywhere to find an armored vehicle to bring back. Even if he found it and repaired it, he might not be able to bear the high fuel consumption. If there weren't enough gas stations along the way, he would have to carry several large oil drums on his back when running long distances.

"This is a gas station?" But the reality quickly gave Hong Tao a loud mouth. Who said there is no gas station? The tanker truck is to deliver oil to the gas station. It parked outside the outpost, and someone immediately greeted him.

Went up, connected the leather pipe, and poured the oil from the big tank into a small tank on the roadside.

"Hey... let me go over and have a look!" Hong Tao was really puzzled, so he simply stopped the car and walked over. Don't get too close to the sentry post. From the outside, it looked like a turret, but inside... soldiers were not allowed to enter.

There is a row of houses next to it. A small oil tank is placed next to the house, and two middle-aged men are busy working on it.

"Sister, are you busy?" Hong Tao did not go near the oil tank, but entered the house with the open door. This should be a restaurant. There was a middle-aged woman standing behind the counter with her head down writing and drawing.

"I've told you so many times, if you don't have food, you won't have boiled water!" The woman didn't even raise her head, she just glanced at her through the curtain of hair and said it firmly.

"Hey, big girl, you are so angry. You are driving people out before anything happens!" He was scolded without saying anything. Hong Tao was not angry. He laughed and walked in, and even looked at the little girl behind him.

I looked inside the door.

"Hey, I asked you why you are such a shameless person. Didn't you tell me that you don't want to eat or boil water?" Seeing that the visitor not only did not leave, but also came in to poke his head around, the woman put down the pen in her hand heavily and walked over with her hands on her hips.

In front of Hong Tao.

"Who said I don't want to eat? You don't have a menu here. What do you want me to eat?" Hong Tao looked at it carefully and smiled.

This guy looks so attractive. Don’t get me wrong. He’s not beautiful, but he’s too ugly. He has triangular eyes, a bulbous nose, a thick mouth and big buck teeth. The hairs on his lips are almost as big as his beard, and he also has a swollen hair on the corner of his mouth.

mole.

The finishing touch is this mole. If it is placed on a beautiful woman's face, it would be called a beauty mole, but if it is placed on her face, it looks ugly and a little bit playful.

As the saying goes, a fair face covers all ugliness, but a fat one ruins everything. She is not only black, she is also fat! She is dark and fat, with a face as ugly as a living ghost, plus a little bit of playfulness and a broken voice, as long as you can find a little bit of advantage in her appearance.

, Hong Tao dared to marry her!

But Hong Tao just likes her, from the bottom of his heart. If he could see her every morning when he opens his eyes, he would be in a good mood all day long. Her presence would always remind him how handsome he is, and how noble he is to sacrifice himself for others!

"Return the menu... steamed buns, dumplings, egg soup, apple cider, how much do you want?" The woman did not change her attitude because Hong Tao showed a sincere smile, but when she saw this person's face clearly, her words became less irritable.

.But there is still no menu, only a few types of food are listed.

"It's not stuffed with human flesh, right?" Hong Tao really wasn't so idle that he insisted on teasing this dominatrix. He just said it casually. He had no choice but to show off his honor and sell steamed buns. He couldn't help but think of Sun Erniang from Liangshan.

.

"Hey, you stinky driver, what are you talking about? Boss, boss, someone is causing trouble!"

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. The woman seemed to have heard something, and immediately became anxious. Even if she did not dare to fight directly with the ferocious-looking big man in front of her, she did not intend to suffer the loss of being dumb. She took a breath of Dantian energy and used the lion's roar.

achievement.

"Come on, come on...Brother, do you want to eat or stay in a hotel?" As soon as the roar stopped, the voice started again. The man was about fifty years old, not tall, with a stocky body and dirty hands. He glanced at it.

Hong Tao looked at the three carriages parked on the roadside again. Although there was no smile on his face, his attitude was still calm.

"Oh, can we still stay in a hotel? In this case, first bring me two kilograms of vegetarian dumplings and one kilogram of apple cider, and then take me to the room to have a look."

Hong Tao really didn't mean to cause trouble. He just wanted to check the situation on this road. But the two shopkeepers were not easy to talk to, especially they seemed to be a little resistant to the driver. It seemed that he couldn't get anything out of him without spending money.

. It's just noon. It's not a waste to sit down and have something to eat and drink.

"Okay, the dumplings may have to wait a while, big brother, come with me first!" Hearing that Hong Tao really wanted to eat, the man finally had a smile on his face, waved to the woman, turned around and walked out.

It turns out that there is a courtyard behind this row of houses, and a row of two-story buildings facing the east. The guest rooms are on the first floor. Hong Tao went in and took a look, and was not satisfied. The large storefront was dark and dirty. I don’t know.

What do others think? Anyway, I would rather sleep in a tent than touch those bedding.

"Boss, we just joined the transportation team and we don't touch the door for many things. Can we talk a little more?" After leaving the yard, Hong Tao took out the cigarettes again.

"I'm telling you, I've seen all the transport teams that run this route, but you guys are the only ones I've never met." The shop owner didn't object, and the two of them stood at the entrance of the courtyard and started chatting.

What are we talking about? Of course we are talking about this road. The shop owners are not a husband and wife, but a husband and wife. Is there any difference? Of course, they are two husbands and a wife, living together.

This thing, if placed in the old world, would definitely be ridiculous, but at this moment, not only is it not ridiculous, but it is also envied by many people. No matter, the ratio of men to women among the survivors is a bit disparity. If they are monogamous, then there must be a big relationship.

Some men cannot find a wife.

The three of them were originally refugees. Since the alliance wanted to establish a heavy industrial base near Jinmen, people and goods flowed in and out day and night. Along with this, there were also roadblocks, robberies, and murders. In order to protect this lifeline, the alliance established a series of buildings along the way.

Watchtowers were built, and troops were stationed to protect the roads.

However, it seems a bit wasteful to invest so much in just using it as a sentry post. Can it be used to its full potential? The answer is yes. It is very simple. The watchtower can also provide refueling, repair, food, drink and accommodation services for passing vehicles, which is equivalent to ancient times.
