Chapter 200: Ruthless (Part II)
After driving the off-road vehicle to the back of the commissary and covering it with a tarpaulin, Chu Tianjiang took Nichole and the others and followed Jocelyn into the basement.
The basement is spacious and was certainly a warehouse before.
It was a bit crowded for more than a dozen people, but by removing the wooden planks and removing some of the obstructive barrels and cans, everyone could still sit at the table.
Soon, dinner was ready. The main course is roasted beef with potatoes, but the beef is canned, and there are boiled green beans and corn salad. Chu Tianjiang brought a few bottles of canned fruit, which served as desserts after the meal. In addition, Jocelyn asked her eldest daughter to bring a bottle of wine that looked a little old.
"Where are you from?" Jocelyn opened the conversation.
"Boston." Chu Tianjiang had already made up his rhetoric. "When the earthquake happened, our home collapsed, and I happened to be out of town at the time."
"You're a soldier?"
"Sort of, it used to be." Chu Tianjiang knew that he had revealed his hand, and his identity had been exposed, and the most reasonable explanation was that he was a retired soldier. "Previously served in the Navy SEALs, and after retiring from the army, I worked for a security company doing those jobs that specialized in protecting the big guys."
"No wonder you're so powerful, and you have such a good weapon." John said a word next to him.
"After the earthquake, I quit my job. But it was still a step too late, our parents and other relatives died, and they escaped by hiding in the basement. Chu Tianjiang sighed and said, "It's just that they are all seriously ill, so I took them out of Boston." ”
"There's no hospital over there?"
"Yes, but we've run out of medicine to treat them. Along the way, I went to all the hospitals and didn't find that drug. ”
Jocelyn nodded and said, "To the west, the nearest hospital is in Springfield, two hundred kilometers away, and I heard that the army has taken control of the situation over there. ”
"Why don't you go over?" Chu Tianjiang shifted the topic to this peculiar little family.
"We're the people here, we're not going anywhere." John said hurriedly.
"The army can only provide security, but not food. Nearby cities are already rationed, and each person receives very little food per day. Jocelyn sighed and said, "We still have enough food here, and we have fuel to generate electricity, so we don't need help." ”
"The thing is, it's not safe here." Nicol said.
"yes, it's not safe. The car outside was left behind by the robbers early this morning, and anyone who tries to steal food and fuel from us will have to pay the price. ”
"The problem is, it's not a long-term solution." Rachel also said.
"One day, when we have eaten and used up, we will naturally leave here."
Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Everyone has the right to decide their own way of life. You're not short of food, but your rifles aren't good. I can leave a sniper rifle and a carbine, as well as some ammo, which I hope will be useful to you. ”
"Mom's ......"
"I don't need your help, and you're not protecting yourself right now."
"It's not a help, it's an exchange because I need to fill up the dirt bike."
Jocelyn hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes, but I recommend that you don't take the interstate, and it's best not to be active at night." ”
"Really?"
"The road to the west has been controlled by the Coyote Gang, and they mainly operate at night, and they will never let go of any passing vehicles and pedestrians."
"Don't worry, we'll be fine."
Jocelyn hesitated for a moment and said, "You can let them stay, and I'll take care of them." Wait until you find the medicine, and then come back and pick them up. ”
"If only I knew when and where I could find medicine." Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "And I think it's safer for them to be with me." ”
"This ......"
"Jocelyn, thank you for your hospitality, it's time for us to go." Chu Tianjiang put down his knife and fork, and the food on his plate barely touched.
"John, go and fill up Mr. Yan's car." Jocelyn didn't do much to keep it. "Mr. Yan, I advise you to leave after dawn tomorrow."
"Thank you for your kindness, but we have to hurry."
Jocelyn didn't hold back, Chu Tianjiang picked up Maya, called Nichol and they out of the basement.
Not long after, John filled up the SUV with gas. Chu Tianjiang checked it carefully and found that there was no problem, so he locked the fuel tank cap.
Chu Tianjiang let Nicol and the others get into the car first, and then said goodbye to Jocelyn.
Driving on the highway, Chu Tianjiang immediately stepped on the accelerator to the end.
"Yan, did you notice?" Rachel looked a little anxious.
"Of course, you think that little trick can fool me?" Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "There is no poison in the food, but it is definitely not a good thing, and the meat may not be beef." ”
"That's ......"
"There's a human leg in the toilet."
As soon as Chu Tianjiang said this, Nicole, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and Rachel and Isabella, who were leaning against the car door, immediately climbed onto the window and vomited.
After driving for more than ten kilometers and not seeing the gas station, Chu Tianjiang parked the car on the side of the road.
The other people who had been holding back immediately got out of the car, grabbed their throats and vomited all the food in their stomachs, and even Maya, who couldn't move, rolled her eyes.
"As for it? When there is a famine, I am afraid that there is not even human flesh to eat. ”
"You...... You're so disgusting......" Rachel had already vomited, but when Chu Tianjiang said this, she leaned down and vomited out all the stomach acid.
Chu Tianjiang smiled, took out a cigarette and lit it and smoked it.
"Wen Bin, who are they?"
"I'm afraid, it's the robbers they call the 'Coyote Gang'."
"You...... How do you know the way? ”
"First of all, that pickup truck burned down a few hours ago, not early this morning. There was no body in the car, and I am afraid that the body in the toilet was the owner of the pickup truck. Secondly, Joyce and John are obviously not mother and son, Joyce's actual age should be about forty years old, while John's actual age is about thirty years old, is the difference between mother and son only ten years? Thirdly, there were only four beds in the basement, and even if there were two couples, it would not be possible for the mother and son to sleep in one bed, so they were three couples, and the other two men were probably homosexual. Fourthly, while preparing dinner, the two young women spent a great deal of time searching for salt and pepper, and if they were the hosts, they could not have even known where to put these daily necessities. At the end of the day, they could tell at a glance that we were using military firearms. Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Don't forget that I'm an agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and I can't see it with so many flaws?" ”
"Then why do you have to accept the invitation?" Rachel asked.
"Refusal? If I decline the invitation, the only way to do it is to kill them all, find out the hidden gasoline, and maybe set fire to the gas station. ”
"That's fine."
Chu Tianjiang smiled and touched Rachel's face, and was immediately waved away by Rachel. "It's easy to kill them, but in a scuffle, who can guarantee that you won't get shot?"
Rachel was stunned for a moment, and her face immediately turned crimson.
"Also, our goal is to get to the Alamos lab as soon as possible, there's no need to get into trouble, and it's not worth wasting time on these little characters."
"Swallow...... I...... I blame you. ”
As soon as Rachel said this, several other "flower butterflies" immediately showed a dark color of surprise.
"Rachel, you...... Would you have been mistaken? Nichol's words were overwhelmed.
The others immediately laughed, but instead of laughing at Rachel, they felt surprised that Rachel had apologized to the man she said was "nothing good".
Rachel was in a hurry and said, "Don't laugh at anything." ”
"Okay, don't laugh, there's a guest."
"Guest?"
Chu Tianjiang pointed at the light in the distance. "About ten kilometers away, it must have been after we left, Jocelyn informed the other gang members."
"Let's go." Rachel pulls the car door and lets Nicol and the others into the car.
"They are not slow, but if they escape, it will definitely be a trouble, and the fuel consumption at full speed is too high." Chu Tianjiang walked to the side of the car and picked up the DMR rifle. "Rachel, you drive them away, and then drive back to pick me up when the gunfire is gone."
"You're left alone to deal with the robbers?"
"Don't worry, don't say it's a robber, even the army can't help me. Besides, I'll have to get back the sniper rifles and carbines that I left for those bastards. ”
"Rachel, Wen Bin will be fine." Nichol said, she was very aware of Chu Tianjiang's ability.
"Let's go. Those crumbs will be suspicious when they see us stop here. ”
Rachel didn't ramble anymore and immediately sat in the driver's seat. It was only after starting the buggy and driving a few kilometers in the moonlight that she turned on the headlights.
Chu Tianjiang left the road and ran to the hillside on the side of the road as fast as he could.
Although there was no night vision device, Chu Tianjiang could see it very clearly. There were three cars in total, with an off-road vehicle at the head and two sedans at the back.
Before the convoy approached, Chu Tianjiang adjusted the scope of the DMR rifle.
The distance of the first car was shortened to about a thousand meters, and Chu Tianjiang fired the first shot, then fired another shot at the off-road vehicle, and then fired two shots at each of the two cars behind.
In less than two seconds, all six bullets were fired.
Chu Tianjiang picked up his rifle and quickly rushed down the hillside, along the road, towards the three vehicles that had lost control.
At this point, Rachel was already steering in an off-road vehicle.
Back at the place where the car started, Rachel didn't find Chu Tianjiang. While she was at a loss, the sound of a pistol shot could be heard in the distance.
Rachel didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately drove over.
When he arrived, Chu Tianjiang was holding a pistol to the forehead of a robber kneeling in front of him and begging for mercy, and Rachel was surprised to see Chu Tianjiang pull the trigger unmoved. Even a cold-blooded killer will have mercy when the enemy begs for mercy, and will never be so ruthless.
Rachel suddenly realized that Chu Tianjiang was absolutely ruthless to his enemies.
