Everyone rested in the former governor's office, and the guards brought coffee very intimately. At present, this is the headquarters of the 3rd Infantry Company stationed on Hong Kong Island, and it may be handed over to the Hong Kong Town Office in the future.

Everyone was drinking coffee and chatting, and the commander of the third company also introduced the specific situation of Hong Kong Island to Mo Xiaodou. Although the population of Hong Kong Island is much smaller than it is in the 21st century, the social situation is not far less complex. "At present, there are about 8,000 permanent residents on Hong Kong Island, and there are more than 100 Westerners, of whom one-third are Xin'an locals, at least the Jiaqing Dynasty lived on the island; Another third are Cantonese people who moved from other counties of Guangzhou Prefecture after the opening of Hong Kong; The last third were people who fled from other provinces to Guangdong after the outbreak of the Taiping Rebellion, most of them from Hunan, who went all the way south without a fixed residence. The British, on the other hand, needed to enrich Hong Kong's population before they could settle here. Mo Xiaodou nodded, according to his grandfather, their Mo family ancestor moved to Hong Kong at about this time, and then moved to Lamma Island, maybe someone outside was his ancestor. And He Yujie is from Ningbo, her great-grandfather moved to Hong Kong with his family in 49, but he didn't have such a feeling as Mo Xiaodou.

"The gang here is mainly a branch of the Heaven and Earth Society, and it is estimated that there may be a remnant of Helu, and the details need to be further investigated." In order to allow Mo Xiaodou to carry out his work as soon as possible in the future, the commander of the third company told all the information he had, "However, according to Fei Chen's information, Guangdong is the territory of the Little Knife Society, but Liu Lichuan, the head of the meeting, and others have gone to Shanghai, so they have been relatively low-key recently." ”

Mo Xiaodou has been quietly listening to the introduction of the third company commander, but it will take some time to adapt to the identity change from the police chief of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to the police chief of Kowloon County in the nineteenth century. There was a sound of footsteps in the hallway outside the door, and soon two men with cameras on their chests walked in, followed by two guards. What made Mo He and the others strange was that one of them was a white man in his twenties.

The white man walked up to Zhuang Xue'er without restraint and took off his hat to salute, "Beautiful Miss Zhuang, it's a pleasure to see you here!" After receiving the latter's response, he greeted Zhang Pan with his head in hand, and finally set his eyes on the two new faces he didn't know.

Another of the two people who entered the door was a Chinese, and he walked up to Mo Xiaodou and stretched out his hand, "Sergeant Mo, I am Deputy Minister of Propaganda Du Lali and also a reporter. He already knew the identities of the two guests, so he didn't need to introduce them. After shaking hands with the two guests, he introduced his companion to them, "This is Mr. Tom B. Brown, a special correspondent for the New York Times in the Far East." Then he introduced the two guests to Mr. Reporter, "This is Sergeant Mo Xiaodou, and he will soon become the local police chief." The other lady is Ms. Ho Yuk Kit. ”

Tom B. Brown has been at home since he became a guest of the Propaganda Department, which has provided the greatest convenience for his interviews in order to publicize the deeds of the Liberation Army to the international community through him. Xie Sen even applied to the management committee to get him a digital camera, which is also because film cameras have become a rarity. However, for this reason, the management committee has also imposed many restrictions on him, he is not allowed to act alone, and the interview must be accompanied by the propaganda department. Xie Sen also left a back hand in the use of digital cameras, and did not tell him many functions, nor did he tell him the principle of memory cards, plus the photos had to be printed by the Propaganda Department, and he was not afraid of any big waves he turned over.

When he got his hands on the camera, Mr. Brown couldn't put it down, this amazing machine was small and lightweight, and the printed photos were clear and lifelike, which was indeed not comparable to the light-sensitive black and white photographs that had just been invented for a long time. He kept asking Xie Sen and Dulari about the mechanics of the camera, but neither of them could prevaricate him. During this time, he interviewed the military camps, factories, fortresses, and military academies of the Liberation Army, as well as the families of ordinary Chinese civilians, and even observed a trial of opium dealers by the Liberation Army court. When he saw the female judge in the court announcing the death penalty in a cold voice, he had to admit that the Liberation Army was ahead of the world in many aspects. Of course, these were the things that the Governing Council allowed him to know, and as for the things that he was not allowed to know, such as the inside story of the negotiations with the British, he did not know at all. Today, when I heard a ghost girl mentioned in the conversation of pedestrians on the street, he immediately became interested and hurriedly pulled Durari to the door.

After Durary introduced the two sides, Brown ran to He Yujie and offered his courtesy, "Beautiful and noble Miss He, I crossed the ocean to China, and it must be God's arrangement to meet you in the vast sea of people." "He Yujie is dressed in men's clothes, and it is very rude to use the Western etiquette of the nineteenth century, but Mr. Reporter is completely fascinated by the appearance of a mixed-race girl, and he doesn't care about these subtleties, and everyone looks at him there with a smile." You can call me 2b, that's what everyone here calls me. One sentence directly suffocated everyone into internal injuries.

The nickname 2b was first used by Dularry, and later became synonymous with Mr. Reporter. Once, I accidentally heard this name, so I asked Durali about the origin of this nickname. Vice Minister Du is talking nonsense, saying that there are two Bs in his name, and in the northern dialect, Niu B means powerful, and 2B means more powerful. Uninformed reporters gladly accepted the nickname and introduced it whenever they met, while the survivors who knew it were tacitly silent.

At this time, this joke came out again, and everyone tried desperately to hold back their laughter. Mo Xiaodou is not clear, He Yujie often knows the meaning of this word on the Internet, but she is also smart and does not say it, but the light smile on her cold face makes Mr. Reporter's eyes turn into a peach heart.

Everyone had no intention of watching him play treasure again, so Zhang Pan sent him away on the grounds that he had something to talk about, and before leaving, he did not forget to make an appointment with He Yujie to meet next time.

The people in the way left, and everyone moved on to substantive conversations. Mo Xiaodou expressed his willingness to join the Liberation Army, and was willing to persuade the other survivors on the island to join him, and he also raised the question about the ABC. Because this is related to the ethnic identity of the survivors, Mr. Sheriff has to be concerned, and at the same time, he also wants to see if the leadership of the Liberation Army is tolerant.

Zhuang Xueer told the two of them the results of the discussion of the management committee, Mo Xiaodou thought about it and felt that this was the only feasible way. Although He Yujie felt that the restrictions on foreign Chinese were tantamount to house arrest, she did not raise any objections to the fact that this was related to the core interests of the Liberation Army and that it was impossible for a potentially dangerous element to act at will. She made up her mind that when she went back, she would persuade Alex not to make the wrong choice with a hot head. After all, we have lived together for a few months, and we have had the experience of being born and dying together a few times, so there is also a sense of companionship.

Since they agreed to join, they will be their own people from now on, and when they return to the base in the evening, the management committee held a small welcome banquet for the two. The heads and brains of various departments came to meet and mingle with each other, Mo Xiaodou's work has been decided, but He Yujie's international financial expertise is still useless for the time being, so Li Shanglong asked her to continue to stay in the original time and space, and specially lead a team to collect materials in Hong Kong.

There was no word for a night, and early the next morning, the two returned to the original time and space through the space-time passage again. Mo Xiaodou returned like an arrow, and did not stop in the safe zone of Shenzhen, so he returned to the uninhabited island by boat.

In the two days since the two left, the survivors on the island were worried, fearing that the People's Liberation Army was pretending to be gangsters, and Mo He and Mo He had already been murdered. Mo Xiaodou's wife is even more eager, starting from the day after her husband leaves, except for the time to eat and sleep, she is waiting for her husband's return on the beach.

In order to pick up all the survivors on the island at one time, Zhang Anbang personally drove a maritime surveillance ship to pick up people. When Mo Xiaodou boarded the beach in a dinghy, he was greeted by his tearful wife. Back at the camp, Mo Xiaodou immediately gathered the survivors, because no one went out in the past two days, so the people arrived quickly. The sheriff did not answer the survivors' inquiries one by one, but directly announced that he would move his family to the Shenzhen safety zone, and also mobilized other survivors to move to Shenzhen, and ensured that the environment in the security zone was very comfortable and there were no mutant activities nearby. In order to prevent accidents, the management committee asked to wait for the survivors on the island to enter the safe zone before telling them the truth, and He Yujie also helped testify to Mo Xiaodou's words.

Mr. Sheriff has won everyone's respect and trust in the past few months with his character and ability, coupled with He Yujie's proof, most of them agree to move, and it is better to have a larger organization to provide protection for themselves, and to have a house to live in is better than being frightened by the wind and sun on a desert island.

Of course, not everyone thinks so, and Banana King disagrees. As a second-generation Chinese who grew up in the United States, he doesn't like to be controlled by others, and in his thinking, he is now free on a desert island, so why bother to find a government to put on his head. He wanted to win over a few young people who he usually talked to oppose the move, but these young people either thought about their families or went with the flow, and none of them echoed him. Even He Yujie, who he thought had a common language with him, did not support him, which made him very frustrated, and it was best to make a fortune in silence. This relieved Mo Xiaodou, who was worried about internal divisions.

At the same time, Weng Zhongtian, who came with him in the name of escort, also breathed a sigh of relief. He had a special mission on this trip, and a warrant issued by the General Staff and personally handed over to him by Zhang Pan: If this fake foreign devil has any misdeeds, such as colluding to incite others to oppose the move, or pulling people to start a new business, he has the right to take decisive action, and he can take him to a secluded place in the name of exile. As a junior officer, he didn't know if the warrant management committee knew about it, but the warrant had the signatures of Ma Angelica and Li Shanglong, and he only needed to carry out the order. Now that there is no need to kill or injure people, he can't help but feel relieved, he just needs to return the warrant after he returns, and this matter has nothing to do with him. (Postscript: The incident, known as the "First Secret Order of the General Staff" by later generations, was not revealed until decades later, when Weng Zhongtian wrote his memoirs in his later years, and Ma Angelica, Li Shanglong, Zhang Pan, and even Wang Dingming, the target of the Chinese dental authority, are no longer there.) The original copy of the warrant is missing, but Mr. Weng produced a copy that had been hidden for decades. After the incident was exposed, there was an uproar among the people, and some people pointed out that this was ironclad evidence that the military was engaged in a conspiracy behind the government's back; It is also said that it is impossible for the government not to know about these things, and that the military is just a knife of the government; Some people even pointed out that this is historical evidence of the ruling party's consistent suppression of human rights. For a time, there were countless mouths in newspapers and magazines, and five-cent hats flew around. ）

After a brief lunch, everyone began to pack up their belongings and prepare for moving. The big guys like generators and tents are no longer needed, so they are all kept, and the management committee intends to use this place as a transit point for collecting supplies in Hong Kong, and these things are still needed. Everyone just packed up their clothes, soft stuff, food, fuel, weapons and ammunition, and all the fuel was taken away. Most of the survivors boarded the sea surveillance boats, a few on the hovercraft, and the two ships headed north, one after the other. Watching the island where they had lived for a few months gradually disappearing, the survivors couldn't help but feel melancholy, and Mo Xiaodou put his arms around his wife and children, looking ahead, full of longing for a new life.

As the ship passed through the waterway between Hong Kong Island and Lantau Island, a curtain of light suddenly appeared in front of the maritime surveillance ship, and before everyone could understand what was going on, the maritime surveillance ship got in. As if in the blink of an eye, the surrounding scenery has changed, Hong Kong Island and Lantau Island are still there, but the buildings on the island are gone. At this time, Zhang Anbang's voice came from the radio, "Everyone, welcome to the new world!" ”
