Chapter 20: Departure, Treasury (2)
If there is really such a vault in Bianhai City, even if Gu Wanting doesn't say it, there will definitely be other people who know the location, but Gu Wanting is a stubborn girl, and it is difficult to change the things she believes in.
If she doesn't take her with this operation, it's hard to guarantee that she will secretly follow behind, and if there are some errands on the way, how can she live in her heart? So he pretended to sigh helplessly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I can take you there, but you have to make sure that you have to obey my command for every action!" β
"Yay! Don't worry, I'm so well-behaved, I won't make a mess! Gu Wanting jumped up happily.
"I hope so!" Zhang Yuntian muttered quietly.
The configuration of this trip is exactly the same as yesterday, except that there is an extra Gu Wanting.
The corpse guards were in charge of driving, Zhang Yuntian and Gu Wanting were sitting in one car, Li Junhai took the other three corpse guards in another car, and the two cars drove out of the fifth district again, but yesterday they took the route out of the city, and today they took the opposite route, taking the route into the city.
As soon as he drove to the gate of the fifth district, Zhang Yuntian ordered the convoy to stop, because he met an old acquaintance: Liu Fugui!
Liu Fugui was sitting in front of the tax collection desk at the city gate at this time, bored and pinching his very malleable belly, seeing Zhang Yuntian, he hurriedly stood up and came over to say hello enthusiastically, when he saw Gu Wanting, he couldn't help but smile, since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, no wonder this rich master is willing to help the Gu family, it turns out that there is such a relationship, it seems that Ding Hao's kid is purely self-defeating, and it is no wonder that others.
"Why did Brother Liu come here to collect taxes? I thought you'd be back in District 1! "The duties of the tax collector are much higher than those of the tax collector, the former is responsible for the taxation of the nobility of the whole region, and is directly administered by the government, while the latter is only a small official of the income fee, which is managed by the locality, and is not at all at the same level.
Liu Fugui sighed, "Alas, don't mention it, the previous tax officer was dismissed, before the new tax officer takes office, I have to be here, fortunately, almost no one enters the city these days, or my old bones will have to be explained here, you see, I have been losing weight in the past two days!" β
Gu Wanting looked at Liu Fugui's white and chubby round face, probably because she had received a lot of benefits, and because the food level had improved, she seemed to be a little fatter than the last time she saw her, where did she look half haggard? She knew that Liu Fugui was in a high position, so she couldn't help but dare to laugh.
The original tax officer has been dismissed because he failed to find Zhang Yuntian within the agreed time limit, and this vacancy should have been replaced by Ding Hao, but this kid accompanied by the corpse guard, walked around the city naked, and this matter has become the talk of the entire fifth district after dinner, so no matter what, a laughing stock can not be allowed to take on such an important faΓ§ade work, so before the new tax officer is elected, Liu Fugui will temporarily take over.
Zhang Yuntian smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Liu has indeed lost a lot in the past few days, and if you are free another day, welcome to come and sit with me, and try my craftsmanship by the way!" β
Liu Fugui is waiting for this sentence, craftsmanship or something, it's just a pretext, what kind of craftsmanship does canned beef need? How do you open the lid?
"Okay, then I'll be respectful and obey! I don't know where my brother is going? Liu Fugui was indeed a little surprised when he first saw two Humvees appear at the same time, but when he saw Zhang Yuntian coming out of it, his surprise turned into relief, even if this person drove a tank, he wouldn't feel strange, what can't he get if he has money?
"Oh~ Don't hide it from the eldest brother, I heard that there is a vault in the central area of the city, and you also know that the younger brother has a hobby of collecting jewelry treasures, so he plans to try his luck there!"
Liu Fugui looked at Zhang Yuntian like a monster, people are all trying to expand their living space, or plantable urban land to fight zombies, and the reason for this guy's fight is actually for worthless jewelry!
"Brother, be careful, the zombies have been a little calm recently, and they will hit the city wall once every three or five days in the past, but in the past half a month, we haven't even seen their shadows, not only that, but there hasn't been even a single survivor who has entered the city recently, and I don't know where the people have gone!"
Liu Fugui said, took out a signal gun from the guard's bag, and solemnly stuffed it into Zhang Yuntian's hand, "This is the Wanshi military signal gun, the elder brother will collect it first, and when it comes to the extraordinary time, no matter day or night, just shoot vertically upward, and the troops of Wanshi will arrive within twenty minutes!" β
This flare gun is equivalent to the military order of the eternal regime, it can save lives at critical moments, what else in the world is heavier than life?
Zhang Yuntian took the flare gun, and for the first time in his heart, he had a good impression of the big brother in front of him with the image of a profiteer, although the two also had some friendship when they were taxed last time, but it was just a transaction based on interests and equality, but this time it was very different, and it could be seen that he was indeed very worried about his safety.
"I won't say much about thanks, the little brother will leave first!"
"It's all brothers, what's polite, I'm waiting to eat your celebration banquet!"
Watching Zhang Yuntian's convoy drift away, Liu Fugui turned around and entered a black van, and twenty minutes later, he appeared in the room of a luxury hall in the fifth district, "The matter is done, he didn't notice it!" β
Liu Fugui lowered his head, stared directly at his toes, and his hands hung unnaturally to his sides.
"Very good, you know what to do next!" A cold woman, half-lying on the sofa, holding half a glass of red wine in her hand, is slowly shaking, as if admiring this magnificent red.
"I understand, this matter is related to the stability of our eternal regime, and I will definitely handle it properly! Rest assured! β
Liu Fugui's voice was solemn and calm, and every word was loud.
"Okay, there's nothing to do with you, let's go down!" The woman's voice was soft, but there was an irresistible majesty.
"Yes, yes, but I still have something to report to you!" Liu Fugui's voice suddenly trembled, as if it was difficult to say the following words.
"Say it!"
"Associate Lin (Associate is an official position here, similar to a minister of state) said.
"I don't want to hear those words, get out!" The woman's voice was still very flat, but in Liu Fugui's opinion, the air in the entire room seemed to have frozen, and there was murderous intent hidden everywhere.
Xue'er next to the woman hurriedly made a look, Liu Fugui woke up like a dream, and didn't even have time to say goodbye, he hurriedly ran out, and ran out of the hall to get in the car, and the love calmed down a little, and then he found that the clothes on his entire back were soaked with sweat.
Zhang Yuntian and others slowly drove into the city along the cross-river bridge, this commercial town famous for tourism and trade, has long been unrecognizable, the wide road is overgrown with weeds, and the high-rise buildings that used to stand in the forest are now dilapidated, and the vigorous creeper wears a layer of emerald green.
The fifth district is just a city within a city in the entire Bianhai City, it is a relatively closed small area built on the sandbar at the mouth of the sea, and the area of the entire Bianhai City is many times larger than here, because there are still a lot of zombies left in the city, and the roads extend in all directions, which is not conducive to defense, so the Wanshi regime has no intention of capturing the entire Bianhai City.
"It's safe to travel within a one-kilometer radius of the Fifth District, but further afield, it's hard to say, we have to be extra careful!" Gu Wanting reminded on the side, "The location of the vault is at the intersection of Millennium Road and Tianjing Street, where it is the public station of Metro Line 3 and Line 9!" β
Zhang Yuntian couldn't help frowning when he heard the words Millennium Road and subway station: Millennium Road is a famous commercial street in Bianhai City, he has traveled once before, even from Monday to Friday, there are still crowds of people, Haimo shoulder to shoulder, not to mention the subway station, it is still a transfer station, just by virtue of these two points, the zombies in that place are indispensable.
"We parked at the intersection of Xijing Street and walked over!" Gu Wanting inherited her father's military skills, doing things calmly and in an orderly manner.
"Why stop at Xijing Street, which is three stops away from the vault? Shall we kill the past? β
Zhang Yuntian felt strange about this arrangement, now that he has a gun in hand, it is not difficult to kill the past, but when he escapes, it is a different matter, a one-kilometer race with zombies? The odds of winning a hundred meters are very high, and it is difficult to say whether a thousand meters will win or lose, after all, zombies are different from people, they don't know exhaustion, so the farther the distance, the greater the possibility of people being caught up.
Gu Wanting patted Zhang Yuntian on the shoulder, shook her head, and pretended to be old-fashioned: "Alas, young man, the experience is still shallow, and he still needs to learn!" Millennium Road is a pedestrian street, and the entrances and exits and intersections are set up with steel barricades blocking motor vehicles, which is extremely difficult to demolish, and time-consuming and labor-intensive! What's more, in Tianjing Street, the entire street is blocked by abandoned cars, and cars can't pass at all! β
"Besides," she continued, "if the evacuation point is too close to the mission location, once the whereabouts are revealed, then the short distance is simply not enough time to buy time to escape, and once the zombies surround the car, we are completely cornered!" Although Xijing Street is about a kilometer away from the vault, we can take a detour to shake off the zombie's tail with the help of this distance, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong! Got it? A sucker? β
"Oh! ~Hehe! Zhang Yuntian smirked twice, and then asked, "Who is the stupid guy talking about?" β
Gu Wanting grinned, "You old stalk, Miss Ben played with it when she was in elementary school, so I won't be fooled!" You're stupid, I say you're stupid! β
Zhang Yuntian was so angry that he stared at him, but jokes were jokes, and he admired Gu Wanting a little more when he heard about it.
In fact, Gu Wanting doesn't have very high command ability, it's just that she has watched a lot with Gu Hongbo's southern expedition to the north, and she can also learn some fur from cats and tigers.
And Zhang Yuntian is with ordinary survivors in most cases, these people's tactics are nothing more than to punch and rush, if it is not good to escape, pick a random substitute for the dead ghost, discount the knee, and throw it behind to attract zombies, although this trick is vicious, it is simple and brainless, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly.
So in his head, there was no such thing as designing an escape route at all! Running away is naturally a desperate run, where you run, as long as you are not the last, everything will be fine.
