Chapter 1252: Empty City, People
They made their way north to the next meeting point. "Words * love * first * hair
Qin Ruo also left Maple City, because he had already determined that He Xilin and the others were indeed not here, nor had they been here.
To the northeast, after walking more than eighty kilometers, Qin Ruo came to a small city, just came to the outside of the small city, saw the sign of the small city entering the city, and suddenly his eyes were slightly condensed: the mark left by He Xilin.
Seeing this mark, it was determined that it was left by He Xilin, Qin Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: They made a mistake. deviated a little from the direction, and actually missed the distance of more than 80 kilometers and came to this small city.
Looking at the name of this small town on the sign, Qin Ruo was a little dumbfounded: Nima, Maple Town.
A place of more than 10,000 people is really a small town in Huaxia at best, called Maple City.
With more than 20,000 people, it is barely a small city, and it is actually called Maple Town
Qin Ruo patted his head: Damn, it's not that they made a mistake, it's that they made a mistake.
The place of the meeting, as I said on the map, was a small town called Maple Town, and then I actually ignored the difference between this city and the town. And that's not surprising: after all, a small town called Maple Town, a small town called Maple Town, is a bit of a fucking fuck
Seeing their traces, Qin Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly entered the city, and quickly found the other marks left by He Xilin, and while erasing these marks, he looked forward. Soon, Qin Ruo found the hotel where they had stayed.
In the evening, Qin Ruo entered the hotel room, looked at the room where no one lived, searched for a while, and found the traces left by He Xilin: they went to the second rendezvous point to wait for him. If, within three days, he does not reach the second rendezvous, they will go to the alternate rendezvous at the third rendezvous.
And then go on all the way to Alaska.
Qin Ruo breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Xia Feixuan didn't know how to deal with it, at least, Xia Feixuan seemed to be persuaded and left obediently, at least there was no trouble.
Since they were fine, Qin Ruo also relaxed, anyway, there was no one in the room, so he simply found some food and drink in the room, and repaired comfortably for most of the night.
"The bed, what a luxury. Qin Ruo lay on the bed, stretched out and got up to take a shower, changed his clothes, and then took advantage of the last darkness before dawn to leave the hotel, went downstairs directly, looked around, found a good car, and drove away directly.
At about ten o'clock, I came to a jungle and drove the car into the jungle, intending to throw it away: there was no fuel.
As soon as I entered, I saw traces of new soil on the ground.
Qin Ruo walked over and pulled a few times with his hand, and shook his head: "The means are too tender." โ
He could see that this was left by He Xilin and them, but the means of hiding the traces were still not good enough. In the eyes of ordinary people, there is no problem, but in the eyes of an expert like Qin Ruo, it is full of loopholes.
However, Qin Ruo was even more pleased, which showed that they had no problems and were safely heading all the way north.
It took more than half an hour to dispose of the car, Qin Ruo walked directly through the jungle and hurried north. But after all, it was already daytime, and he didn't dare to let go of Du Run.
As a result, the distance between him and Concubine Xia became farther and farther away
Xia Feixuan stood on the side of the road and put on a posture to block the road and intercept the car, even though this place was relatively desolate, and it was a long time before a car passed by. But a truck passed by and stopped when it saw such a single beautiful woman on the side of the road asking for a ride.
As soon as he stopped, he saw the grove by the side of the road, and two men and a woman, with two pets, came out, and immediately turned to leave. His instinct was: he had met the robbers in the next set.
But as soon as he turned around, he felt his body stiffen, and a hard thing pressed against his lower back: "Don't move, if you move again, I'll shoot." โ
The driver smiled bitterly and froze his movements: "I still have a few thousand rubles in the car, you want it, just take it." The goods on the car are just some daily necessities. If you like it, just drive away. โ
He Xilin walked over and patted the person on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we just want you to take us for a ride." We'll give you money. But we don't have rubles, can we have Huaxia coins?"
"Yes, yes" Now don't say it's Huaxia coins, even if it's a pile of waste paper, the driver will agree to come down.
Lin Yan walked over and looked at Xia Feixuan in confusion: "You still have a gun"
Concubine Xia smiled: "When I was in the capital before, I went to play with guns when I was fine, and followed Yan'er." She loved it. I fiddled with it twice. Then I got two of them, and I thought they were beautiful. โ
The van was a van, and the driver was honestly leaning cross-legged on a large pile of toilet paper, his eyes covered with a black cloth, and he was already snoring.
He was relieved, because the people who gave the money, in the vast majority of cases, would not kill.
A stack of 10,000 Huaxia coins was in his pocket, which made him even look forward to the fact that the road would be a little longer, maybe they would give a little more.
The Huaxia currency is now largely used in the border areas, and it is very strong, much more popular than the ruble. Including Lao Maozi, who now prefer to ask for Huaxia coins instead of their own rubles. This 10,000 yuan is enough to catch up with his salary for several months.
He Xilin really didn't drive well, but Xia Feixuan drove well, and after driving for half an hour, she was very comfortable and drove wildly. Drive all the way to the next city edge.
Had to stop because there was no fuel.
This made He Xilin a little depressed, and he had to refuel after walking four or five hundred kilometers.
But it can't be helped, this is not the time to be able to let go of yourself and hurry.
Got to the back compartment and knocked on the door: "Hey, I need some rubles for refueling." โ
"I have it in my right jacket pocket, enough to fill up the fuel tank. It's my private property though. The driver emboldened.
Lao Maozi is bold, Lao Maozi's life is not valuable, but money is valuable. He sensed that these people were easy to talk to, and he couldn't help but want to get a little more.
He Xilin couldn't help but want to laugh, this old man is really bold, he was kidnapped, and he can still bargain with the robbers so calmly. If it was Qin Ruo, he would have thrown him into the woods for a night and froze to death, and then he didn't know when he would be discovered.
But He Xilin has been taught since he was a child that he will not do anything to ordinary people and help when necessary.
So, good luck for this driver, survived.
He Xilin took out a stack of money, took out rubles, then stuffed the money into his jacket pocket and patted it: "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate well, I won't treat you badly." โ
The driver grinned: "Can you buy something to eat at the gas station, I haven't eaten for a day and a night." โ
He Xilin smiled and didn't speak, closed the door, and then drove to the gas station, finished filling up, and there were still some rubles left, so he simply went to the gas station to buy some food and drink.
However, He Xilin had no appetite for these things at first glance: dry bread, potatoes, or sauce, although he knew how to eat them, he was not interested in them at all.
These things are simply pig food compared to Chinese food.
Drive a little bit, go around the town and continue north.
Two hundred kilometers further north, is an empty city: Lao Maozi's population has continued to grow negatively, although it has warmed up over the years, but it has not lasted for many years, and it has started negative growth again, as a result, more and more cities in the Far East have been abandoned on a large scale, and some people are still living, but there is often a small city of tens of thousands of people, and now there are only a few hundred or even dozens of people, and they are all elderly people. The further north you go, the more cities there are.
Originally, these cities were opened in the era of Lao Maozi's planned economy, and were used to exploit various mining or forestry or agriculture in these areas. But with their declining population, poor environment, and sluggish national economy, the economic efficiency of the factories and mines here has been declining, and they have not even been able to provide enough jobs.
People can't starve to death here, so they start to move away slowly.
The economy has not improved, this situation has continued, and even worsened, in the north, there were nearly 100 such small cities more than ten years ago, and in recent years, the number has increased to several hundred.
If it is in China, it is estimated that it will be named after a ghost town.
"In a place with a large population in China, you see, there are vast forest resources everywhere, and farmland everywhere, although it can only be planted for one season, but the area is too vast, plus those mines that are actually not mined at all, if you give it to Huaxia, I bet that within three years, it can become a city of at least 100,000 people. Lin Yan looked at an abandoned small city on the side of the road that was obviously inhabited, and couldn't help but sigh.
He Xilin's face was a little heavy: "Here, it should have been Huaxia's territory. โ
Concubine Xia snorted, and said while driving: "Let them vomit sooner or later." โ
Lin Yan shook his head: "It's difficult, today's world is not hundreds of years ago. At that time, any excuse could be found, or even no excuse, to start a war and seize land resources. Now Lao Maozi is a mad dog, once he gets in a hurry, he will do anything. โ
He Xilin was silent, took out a loaf of bread at random and took a bite: "Phew, such a good place, just get some of this." โ
Lin Yan smiled: "That's not necessarily, I suddenly thought just now, aren't they boasting of themselves and claiming democracy, maybe there will still be opportunities in the future." For example, aren't they short of population, and when the time comes, let's get a few million people to come over, settle here, and get the status of a resident here. And then the referendum, don't Westerners always like to do this, a few million people are not enough, then come 10 million, 20 million. Lao Maozi only how many people in the entire Far East first voted for the Far East, and then waited for **, and then voted to join China. In the end, it's not the same."
He Xilin suddenly laughed, and almost squirted out a mouthful of bread: "Lin Yan, I didn't expect that you usually don't say anything, but you are also very damaged." That's right, if the people here become Chinese, there will be a referendum**, and now the waist of Huaxia is also hard, and it will be supported. Wait until later, and then vote to join Huaxia. Lao Maozi is estimated to vomit blood angrily. However, this method is enough to choke, unless Huaxia is really hard and can shut up Lao Maozi. โ
"It won't be long. Lao Maozi used to be the most awesome military industry, and now Huaxia still imports their so-called high-end advanced weapons, if it weren't for Lao Maozi's lack of money, he would have come to buy Huaxia's fighter jets. Huaxia's newly released fighter planes, but the Americans are all sighing at themselves, and Lao Maozi has been thrown off several streets. I heard that the last time I had a simulated air battle with Lao Maozi's latest fighter, the result was 0 to 78. Lao Maozi almost went crazy, and their leader was angry and demanded that he must come up with a new fighter that could at least rival the Huaxia fighter. But because of the problem of funds, it seems that in the end, it will not be resolved. Even if they secretly develop it, it's too bad. Lin Yan then laughed.
"It's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Today we are forced to flee, and thirty years later, Lao Tzu will also turn over. He Xilin said with a smile. Mobile phone please visit wรจn:
