Chapter 64: Mutual Temptation
After hearing Wang Xun's report, Li Xiangqian rushed to the chemical warehouse as fast as he could. Suddenly, a group of unidentified militants came, and Company Commander Li couldn't help but be nervous, after all, at this time, the enemies of the survivors were not just mutants.
Arriving at the scene in an armored car, Li Xiangqian breathed a sigh of relief. Although both sides were wary of each other, they still exercised restraint and did not make any hostile moves. Li Xiangqian walked up to Li Shanglong, who was obviously the highest-ranking military rank, and first gave a military salute to the other party, after all, the other party's military rank was major and he was only a captain. "Hello, Comrade Major! I am Li Xiangqian, the captain of the rescue team in the Humen Security Zone, and I am now leading the team to collect daily necessities. Is there anything you can help with? ”
Li Shanglong hurriedly returned the salute, he, the major, was "self-appointed", and when he saw a genuine soldier, he couldn't help but feel a little weak. "Hello, I'm Li Shanglong, the person in charge of Shenzhen's No. 4 Security Zone," he pointed to the people behind him, "We are also here to collect daily necessities." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to Li Xiangqian.
Although Li Xiangqian was still vigilant, he still warmly shook hands with Li Shanglong. "It's great to meet you, we haven't been in contact with our superiors for two months, do you still have contact with your superiors? What are the latest instructions for the military districts? ”
This question stopped Li Shanglong, an "imposter soldier", whose collective of survivors is a spontaneous organization, and has no so-called superior departments, and is an "illegal" organization in the formal sense. Li Shanglong didn't know much about the government's information, and he didn't know anything about the situation in which the military had organized a rescue team, and the "Shenzhen No. 4 Security Zone" was also improvised by him when he heard Li Xiangqian's words, so he was afraid of exposing his own details, so he had no choice but to follow Li Xiangqian's words. "We've been out of touch with our superiors for a long time, and we're still thinking of asking survivors elsewhere for news!"
"Alas!" Li Xiangqian sighed, he didn't have much hope for the news from his superiors, but he was still very happy to meet "comrades", so he talked with Li Shanglong. When dealing with unfamiliar people, Chinese men first open the way with cigarettes and alcohol, Li Xiangqian took out a cigarette and lit it for Li Shanglong, and then carefully probed the other party's details. "Comrade, which unit did you originally belong to?"
It turned out that Li Shanglong, who was just an ordinary person, could answer, he didn't even know where the troops were in the Guangzhou Military Region, and he dared to talk nonsense, so he had to fight with Li Xiangqian. "I used to be in charge of the warehouse in the military sub-district, and I sat in the office for a long time, unlike you who came from field troops, who can fight and dare to fight, and can only manage logistics."
"Take care of the logistics! You don't have to go around collecting supplies in the wind and rain like us, and you don't have to worry about encountering mutants and giving away your life. Li Xiangqian said with envy. It's just that today you're interested in doing this 'rough work'? ”
"It's not that the mutants are becoming more and more active during this time, and it's not safe to come out to collect supplies, so we sent most of them out safely. And we've all swept around the safe zone, and we've moved everything we need back, so now we have to look for it farther away. Li Shanglong said half-truthfully.
"Then you can go far enough, and you all come to Dongguan."
"There's no way around it! There were hundreds of people in the safe zone who had to be fed and clothed, and we all ate canned food for five months, and we couldn't even see a single bit of greens......"
While Li Shanglong and Li Xiangqian were talking nonsense, Weng Zhongtian and Sun Suofu also took the opportunity to grind foreign workers, found a place to squat together and smoke, and threw the work of moving things to the militiamen. Li Weizhi, who was acting with Li Shanglong, also came over, and approached a few people, waiting for an opportunity to get information from the other party. Taking the cigarette from Brother Weng Zhongtian, Li Weizhi leaned against the wheeled armored car that Li Qianqian drove and asked, "Where did you get this car?" ”
"Isn't it written? Dongguan Special Police. Weng Zhongtian pointed to a few words on the side of the body, "The larger towns in Dongguan have public security bureaus and special police teams, and this car was originally the Humen special police team, but now it is the main combat vehicle of our rescue team." ”
"It's still your safe zone that is powerful, and we only have a few domestically produced Humvees in our safe zone, which is comparable to you at the level of Somali pirates." Li Weizhi's tone was filled with envy, jealousy and hatred, "How many more do we have, how about a few to support us?" ”
"Cut, the largest safety zone in Zhangmutou wasn't a lot of armored vehicles thrown there." Du Ziteng interjected.
"Really? Little brother, what's going on with that safe zone in Zhangmutou? Tell me about it! Li Weizhi's eyes lit up and asked Du Ziteng.
"It turned out that it was the largest security zone in Dongguan, with tens of thousands of people, and the rescue force also had a mechanized regiment, which was broken by mutants two months ago, and the survivors didn't run out, and the rest of the people either died or became mutants. We went there once after, and the camp was full of corpses......" Recalling the scene like a hell, Du Ziteng, who was still a teenager, became a little ugly.
"Are the weapons and equipment left behind by the survivors still there?" This question is what Li is most concerned about.
"We went late, and the small arms had already been taken away by people in the nearby security zone, so we got a few anti-aircraft machine guns and armored vehicles." Du Ziteng said regretfully.
"Don't have tanks?" Li Weizhi is not interested in light weapons, what he cares about is the "big guy".
"Yes! But who wants that! Du Ziteng had a discarded expression, and Weng Zhongtian next to him continued: "Isn't the tank gun used to deal with mutants the same as anti-aircraft guns fighting mosquitoes?" And such a big piece of iron, weighing dozens of tons, and many cement bridges on small rivers can't withstand it, and it's not as good as armored vehicles. No one wants to throw it there. ”
"That's just as well." Li Weizhi said casually, and asked Du Ziteng about the specific location of the safety zone in Zhangmutou. The latter did not suspect him, so he told him 1510. Weng Zhongtian asked casually, "What?" You're also going to pick up the oceans? ”
Li Weizhi smiled. "Maybe there's something good left that you haven't noticed! Let's check it out, maybe we can find something we can use. After a few more words, Li Wei took his leave and left. Then he walked up to the two fellow sects who were chatting happily, and secretly glanced at Li Shanglong, who nodded understandingly.
Li Xiangqian's tone was very tight, except for his own identity, the law of the Humen security zone, and the specific location of the location, refused to disclose, but did everything possible to inquire about Li Shanglong's situation. However, the fake major is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and after the initial nervousness, it is also not leaky in the subsequent conversations. The conversation between the two appeared to be friendly and lively, but in fact there was little substance. Seeing that Li Weizhi had already found out the information he needed, Li Shanglong decided to leave. "Company Commander Li, since you came first, we won't fight with you for the supplies here. Let's go to another place and take our leave. ”
"Director Li (Li Shanglong made up the identity for himself as the director of the logistics office of the military division), you are too polite." Li Xiangqian said this in his mouth, but he didn't think so in his heart. Now there are still plenty of supplies outside, where do you need him to let him do blank favors. "Since you say so, I won't say anything more. Now that the environment is so bad, everyone should contact more in the future and help each other! ”
"Yes! Yes! I can't write two Li characters with one stroke, and it was a family five hundred years ago! What's more, everyone is a PLA, and that's even more of a family. "Director Li has now adapted to his new identity, and his words reveal a strong sense of comradeship, and his chest is beating loudly." Don't worry, if you have any difficulties in the future, you just need to give a notice, and you will not hesitate to go to the soup. ”
In the atmosphere of saying goodbye, Li Shanglong took people into the car and left. Looking at the convoy in the distance, Li Xiangqian was thoughtful, and Wang Zhao came over at this time, "Company commander, there is a problem with this group." ”
"I know." Li Xiangqian's expression was serious, as if it was another person with a smile on his face just now. "That Major Li has a problem, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like an active-duty soldier."
"Maybe he's transferred from the reserves." The deputy squad leader suggested a possibility.
"No, besides, the reserve is also retired from active duty. And he also said that he was originally from a military division, so he should be an active soldier. Li Xiangqian denied the deputy squad leader's speculation, "Also, he didn't ask to check my documents just now, which is unreasonable." ”
"I guess it's a high-level cadre with mixed qualifications." The deputy squad leader suggested another possibility.
Wang Zhao said with a smile: "It's all this time, what other high-ranking cadres will come to the front line to mix qualifications?!" ”
Li Xiangqian thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter who they are or us, as long as they are not armed thugs." ”
"It's better to be careful." Wang Zhao said with a solemn expression, "There was a platoon commander just now, and he asked Xiao Du and them where they could get heavy weapons, and it's hard to say what the intention is." ”
"Really?" Li Xiangqian was a little sad. Nowadays, the law only exists in the individual security zones, and outside the safe zones is a lawless world. The suspicious "People's Liberation Army" (PLA) is looking for heavy equipment with the hope of "restoring order to the original order of the world" and those who give up this hope have become armed thugs. I didn't disclose too much information because I was strictly guarded, but I forgot that most of my subordinates were ordinary people, and they didn't have a sense of confidentiality at all. Fortunately, the specific situation of the security zone has not leaked out, and the defense of the security zone should be strengthened in the future. After thinking about it again, he still felt uneasy, so he called Wang Zhao over and whispered it.

On the other side, Li Weizhi was sitting in the passenger seat of the off-road vehicle at the head at this time, and while being in charge of guiding the way, he was also talking to Li Shanglong, who was sitting in the back seat, about the group of people he had just met. "Senza, did you say that the gang just now is really the People's Liberation Army?"
"Their identities should be real, at least that company commander is a real soldier." Li Shanglong said while recalling the process of talking to Li Xiangqian. "It's good that it's not exposed. People are regular troops, we are ragtag troops, and it would be miserable to be treated as armed thugs. ”
"Not necessarily. I found out that those who were soldiers were not active duty soldiers, either veterans or key militiamen. If there is a conflict, we will not necessarily have the upper hand. Through the conversation, Li Weizhi still learned a lot of information.
"If there is a conflict, we are not afraid, but if we alarm the government, we will be in trouble. What's more, there is no contradiction between the two sides, so there is no need to shout and kill. "Li Shanglong does not agree with the way his fellow sect likes to use violence to solve problems." Forming a good relationship today may help us in the future. ”
"You're trying to pull them in?" Lee speculated on the chief's intentions.
"I don't have any plans to do that yet." Li Shanglong leaned back on the chair, and it was still very tiring to fight with others. Although the Liberation Army also wants to attract more survivors to their "cause", the current target is only a single survivor or a small group of three or five people, such as a few hundred people with an official security zone is not considered. First, they don't want powerful forces to join in and be robbed of some of their leadership. After all, everyone wants to get ahead and doesn't want to give up the power in their hands; Second, they are worried that the government will know about the situation of the time and space channel, so the "rejuvenation of the Chinese nation" has nothing to do with them.
From time to time, there are abandoned or damaged vehicles on the highway, making the original journey of dozens of minutes a full two hours. After the convoy passed through a mountain pass, Li Weizhi looked at the scenery outside the car window, turned around and said, "Have you arrived at Zhangmutou?" ”
