The hope of mankind is like an eternal star, and dark clouds cannot hide its light. Especially today, peace is not an ideal, a dream, it is the wish of all people. - Barkin

Li Baoqiang asked Li Dayong to continue to search every room, and came to the sacrificial team member himself, which was the first member of the armed team to die since its establishment. Li Baoqiang looked at the familiar faces of the team members, and couldn't help regretting in his heart that he had made a big mistake.

There should be no problem with his own action arrangement, but the fault lies in his own belief that these team members, or those veteran Marine comrades-in-arms, should be quite neat to solve these rabble. But I ignored one of the most important problems, that is, these team members are not really a hundred battle divisions, they are a group of peasants and workers who have just laid down their hoes and tools.

Seeing Li Baoqiang's self-blame, the team members gathered around him, and instead persuaded Li Baoqiang: "Captain, we have been reborn, you saved us, and this time you saved so many people, it is worth it even if we die!" Li Baoqiang silently raised his head and looked at the group of young players.

Li Baoqiang felt the sincere emotions in their hearts for the first time, they used to be farmers and workers at the bottom, their existence was insignificant, and they were not taken seriously, but now they are willing to sacrifice their lives to save others, what a group of kind and lovely people, they are the real backbone of the nation.

Li Baoqiang secretly vowed that he must train the team well, reduce casualties, and be worthy of the trust of the players.

Li Dayong has finished the search and reported the situation to Li Baoqiang. Fifteen bandits were killed and six were taken prisoner in three villas; A total of 40 Type 56 semi-automatic rifles and 60 boxes of rifle ammunition were found; Four five-fourth pistols and two boxes of pistol bullets. Li Baoqiang nodded with satisfaction, from the weapon alone, this operation is still rewarding.

The survivors also had the courage to slowly gather around Li Baoqiang. Some people suddenly recognized a few familiar team members, screamed and said hello, and the team members also greeted them, and the survivors gradually relaxed their fear.

Li Baoqiang asked the team leader Zhao Jian and several team members to comfort the survivors, tell them about the situation in Hope Village, and hope that they can follow Li Baoqiang back to Hope Village.

Li Baoqiang and Li Dayong came to the warehouse to inspect the situation inside. When Li Baoqiang saw the warehouse, his first feeling was that it was developed this time.

The warehouse covers an area of more than 400 square meters, with a height of about 10 meters, and all kinds of goods are placed in stacks. Rice, flour, cooking oil, sugar, other major edible products, as well as various department stores, clothing, etc., is simply a small supermarket.

"This deputy mayor is also a talent, it's a pity." Li Baoqiang sighed. At this time, a member of the team ran in, "Captain, the fat team is here." Li Baoqiang hurriedly walked out of the warehouse and saw the fat man Wang Zhiming and Zhang Juncai walking towards him,

Li Baoqiang was stunned for a moment.

The fat man and the others rushed from Hope Village overnight, and the tired look hung on everyone's face, but the eyes revealed concern and excitement. Li Baoqiang was moved, and the eyes of the team members reminded him of the comrades-in-arms of the previous army, which was the feeling of being born and dying and helping each other in the same boat.

Li Baoqiang stepped forward and shook the hands of the fat man and Zhang Juncai tightly, nodded, and everything was silent. The fat man patted Li Dayong on the shoulder and laughed happily: "I heard that you captured a few villains alive this time, my admiration for you is ......"

The thin man Li Dayong puffed up his chest and said proudly: "You didn't come to this operation, do you regret it?" Go back to Mars, Earth is very dangerous. Everyone laughed and realized the danger of this operation.

Li Baoqiang asked Zhang Juncai to organize people to transport grain, oil and non-staple food, which is the most important thing. The rescued survivors also unanimously asked to follow back to Hope Village. Zhang Juncai was a little embarrassed, after all, there were more than 200 people in front of him, how could he not think about eating, and the place where he lived should be covered urgently, and it was difficult to do it well in three or five days.

Li Baoqiang thought about it and temporarily decided that the fat man would lead a part of the team to guard the survivor base in Songlin Town. This base is about 20 kilometers away from Hope Village, and the base has walls, shelters, and complete basic facilities, but it can be used as a forward base for Hope Village.

There are several cars in the base, and there are more than 20 barrels of gasoline, Zhang Juncai has exerted his genius agitation and organizational skills, he asked the villagers from Hope Village to lead the survivors, and drove the cars to rush the materials in the warehouse, seeing his smile from ear to ear, Li Baoqiang kept thinking: "This is a good housekeeper." ”

Li Baoqiang didn't care about these things, he saw that all the armed members were basically there, and redistributed the collected guns. Each member of the team was given a Type 5 or 6 semi-automatic rifle with 100 rounds of ammunition, and the pistols were also distributed to the fat man and other captains, "Finally there are guns, and the team is like a thing." Li Baoqiang was full of emotion.

The team members have practiced shooting in training before, although they have fired a few shots, but now they have their own guns, and they can't put it down, holding rifles and aiming at them. Li Baoqiang gathered the team and came to the door of the main villa, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to train the team well.

Li Baoqiang talked in detail about the process of reconnoitring by touching his tongue, the significance of launching an attack at about four o'clock in the morning, and then talked about the battle in the villa. Li Baoqiang walked and demonstrated while talking, how to open the door, how to arrange the team members, who was responsible for the main attack and who was responsible for the secondary attack, and the team members followed Li Baoqiang and slowly walked upstairs.

Li Baoqiang said that when he pushed open the door of the living room, he felt ashamed in his heart, and he turned to the team members and said: "At this time, we must not be soft-hearted or want to capture the prisoners, because we already know that there are bandits inside, and we must kill them with one blow, and we will not be soft, even if we hurt other innocent people in the house, otherwise we will die." ”

The team members who have experienced it themselves are full of emotion, and the team members who have not participated in the battle are also thoughtful. Li Baoqiang asked the team members who had participated in the battle to talk about their personal feelings, and finally asked the team leaders to lead the team members to practice how to fight in the house over and over again.

After the arrangement, Li Baoqiang turned to look at the person on the bed, now he already knew that it was the deputy mayor, seeing his seemingly upright face, Li Baoqiang pondered, and Zhao Xiaoxiao stood beside Li Baoqiang and was also pondering. After a while, Li Baoqiang turned his head and looked at Zhao Xiaoxin, as if talking to himself.

"In the beginning, he was able to play the role of mayor of the town, leading the victims to save themselves, and also protecting the victims. But once he realized that his power was more about bringing him unlimited enjoyment, he forgot the original purpose of power and quickly degenerated. ”

"Power can ennoble or degrade; It can make or break a person. Power is a double-edged sword! Zhao Xiaoxiao nodded helplessly.

"Power, it is a sharp double-edged sword, it can bring people supreme glory and pride, but it can also bring endless shame and remorse. It can build a monument to the public interest, or it can dig the grave of human self-destruction. I won't, I will never be like him. Li Baoqiang firmly promised, although there was only Zhao Xiaoxiao in front of him, Li Baoqiang seemed to be swearing to the world.

Two days later, the fat man led the team to escort the last few truckloads of supplies in the warehouse back to Hope Village, and at this point, the survivor base in Songling Town had been moved to an empty place. Li Baoqiang plans to develop and build Songling Town after the Spring Festival and turn it into a frontier base in Hope Village.

In the past two days, Zhang Juncai organized more than 100 shacks to be built and properly housed all the rescued. The rescued survivors of Songling Town also quickly integrated into Hope Village, and now the number of villagers in Hope Village has reached more than 500 people, and the walls of Hope Village have begun to become crowded.

At this time, the hope village is already lively, because the Chinese New Year's Eve has arrived.

Professor Zhao found a few pieces of red paper and brushes, wrote a couplet and pasted it at the school gate, and a big blessing character was pasted upside down on the school gatehouse, and the villagers onlookers, chanting in their hearts "Happiness has arrived" and "Blessing has arrived", and their hearts pinned on the yearning for a happy life in the future. Zhao Xiaoxiao and several girls, under the guidance of several old ladies, also cut more than a dozen window flowers, including plum blossoms, Chang'e running to the moon, flowers, birds, fish and insects, pasted on the windows, and everywhere was reflected with joy.

Several bonfires were burning in the school playground, and the red light of the fire illuminated the entire valley, and there was a warm and peaceful atmosphere within the walls of Hope Village.

Zhang Juncai found more than a dozen firecrackers in the pile of supplies, crackling at the school gate, and several children were bold enough to look for squibs among the firecracker debris. The carbide glow of the firecrackers reflected the excited faces of the villagers, and now they finally have a sense of security and a sense of home.

In the conference room, several horse lamps emitted bright lights, illuminating the whole room. The main leaders of Hope Village sat around and began the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Although it can't be compared with before, after Zhang Juncai's ingenious arrangement, there are also seven plates and eight large bowls, which fill the table.

White rice, wild boar bacon, canned fish, vacuum fist dish, wild vegetable soup, and a bowl of rice balls for the last person. Li Baoqiang looked around and didn't find the dumplings, he was very sorry in his heart, but he didn't show it. Zhao Xiaoxiao looked at Li Baoqiang with a smile: "There will be bread, and there will be dumplings." Li Baoqiang heard that his heart was warm, what a careful lover.

After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Li Baoqiang bowed respectfully to Professor Zhao: "I wish you a long and healthy life!" ”

Professor Zhao accepted it with a smile, looked at his happy daughter on the side, and sighed in his heart, "This is a son-in-law giving a New Year's greeting to his father-in-law." ”

Zhang Juncai, Liu Junsheng and other locals began to set up a dragon gate array again. Zhang Juncai told a joke: "In the past, the production team killed geese for the New Year, and the captain wrote a notice to write the goose characters more loosely, becoming: "In the afternoon, men kill my birds, women pluck my bird feathers, and men and children come to eat my bird meat at night!" You can also eat my eggs! When they heard this, they burst into laughter.

The fat man also played tricks, and also said one: In the hospital, the nurse saw the patient drinking in the ward, so she walked over and whispered: "Be careful of the liver!" The patient smiled and said, "Baby." The fat man looked at the female college student he liked while talking, but after speaking, everyone pretended to have a stiff face and did not smile, and stared at the female college student that the fat man liked, and the girl blushed and ran away.

"Amir, rush!" The thin man Li Dayong teased the fat man. Then everyone laughed happily.

At this time, Li Baoqiang took Zhao Xiaoxiao's hand and quietly came to the back of the school, and the two wanted to spend this unforgettable Chinese New Year's Eve together alone.
