Chapter 51: Asking for help
Yin Chenbao drove everyone to the dilapidated two-story building when he was rescued by the bearded man last time, stopped the car, everyone got out of the car, and looked at the dilapidated two-story building in front of them, the windows had been nailed by wooden boards, the cement on the walls had been peeled off in several places, the red bricks inside were exposed, and the roof tiles had also fallen a lot, which were simply covered up with the wooden boards they had picked up or the fence of the construction site, and there were still a few T-shirts with some holes on the small balcony on the second floor.
The dilapidated motorcycle at the door will not be there, Yin Chenbao estimates that the bearded man may not be at home, so let everyone sit down and rest in the open space at the door and wait for a while.
Da Zhuang asked a little puzzled: "Stinky fart king, what kind of place is this, people are not at home, let's just sit and wait?" ”
"This is the home of the bearded man who rescued me last time, I guess he might have gone out to find supplies, you see his motorcycle should have been parked here." As he spoke, Yin Chenbao pointed to the place where the motorcycle was originally parked, and the car was not there at this time, but a few mimeographs on the ground proved that there was indeed a motorcycle parked in the past.
Zhang Weimin leaned against a tree at the entrance of the small building, lit a cigarette and said: "This place feels very familiar, I seem to have been here." He looked at the surrounding high-rise buildings and neighborhoods, some of which had just been completed, while others had scaffolding on the periphery, and it was clear that they had not yet been delivered.
Da Zhuang suddenly remembered something and said, "Brother Zhang, have you forgotten that we did come a year ago." Da Zhuang pointed to a few small bungalows like this around the small second floor and said: "This is the demolition area of the new city, and these small bungalows here are nail households, didn't our team come to assist in communication before?" ”
Zhang Weimin took a puff of cigarette and said: "Yes, I remember, there was a fight between the crowd and the demolition team at that time, and we were here to maintain order." ”
After that, Zhang Weimin looked at the two-story building carefully, and a sense of déjà vu came to him, the owner of this house was the bearded man who had saved his team members, and the sturdy man had a few encounters with him, although his hair was messy and his beard was unkempt, but he always felt that he had seen it somewhere, and the last time he was in the Xianchuang garage, he could call his name accurately, and Zhang Weimin felt that he seemed to know this person.
Guo Lin circled around the small second floor of this single-family building standing in the luxury apartment complex and said: "I can't see it, this small building has a good location, and it is quiet in the middle of nowhere, no wonder the owner of the house is unwilling to demolish." ”
After an almost frustrating day, no one picked up Guo Lin's unintentional joke, Sun Yijun kept squatting on the edge of the flower bed, holding the bracelet taken from Yang Yue's hand, in a daze.
Chen Wanru sat beside him and didn't bother Sun Yijun, she knew that Sun Yijun was not only nostalgic for the owner of this bracelet at this moment, but the pioneer safety zone he built was also completely destroyed by the scar man, and more than a hundred lives were taken.
Guo Lin saw that no one cared about him, so he could only smoke alone by silently leaning against the outer wall of the small building.
At this time, the roar of motorcycles was heard not far away, and everyone stood up and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
I saw a man sitting on a dilapidated motorcycle, he held the handlebar in his right hand, and carried a harpoon in his left hand, which seemed to have a few freshly caught fish tied to it, a cigarette in his mouth, a military wine jug hanging from his waist, and his still unkempt hair and beard seemed to have grown a lot.
The bearded man also recognized the people standing in front of his house, and he slowly rode to the door, threw the fish into a bucket hanging from the back of the motorcycle, and got out of the car with his fork, leaning the fork against the windowsill while looking at the people around him.
He squinted, took a puff of his cigarette, and looked at Yin Chenbao, as if asking how you brought them.
Yin Chenbao immediately understood the bearded man's eyes, stepped forward and said, "Brother bearded, we are really homeless now, so we can only come to you for help." ”
The bearded man looked at the few people standing in front of him again, and said expressionlessly, "Come in." With that, he took out the key to the door from his pocket, invited everyone in, and closed the door inside.
The smell of cigarettes and alcohol still permeated the room, and the bearded man pointed to the messy living room and said, "Find your own place to sit." Then he walked alone with the freshly caught fish to the kitchen at the back of the living room.
Although it was daytime, but because the doors and windows were nailed to the outside of the reinforced wooden boards, the house still seemed very dim, Zhang Weimin took off his helmet, turned on the headlamp, and put the light up on the coffee table in the middle, and suddenly the room was illuminated, looking at the cigarette butts and wine bottles all over the ground, everyone had to clean up the wine bottles first, and then sat down.
After a while, the bearded man walked out with the fish in his hand that had been cleaned up by him and strung on the branches, took out a lighter from his pocket and threw it to Yin Chenbao and said, "Light the fire." ”
Yin Chenbao had been here before, so he seemed very familiar with the road, and soon found a simple stand for grilling fish from a pile of waste newspapers and dead branches, he piled up the dead branches under the shelf, and then picked up a newspaper, lit it with a lighter, and stuffed it into the pile of dead branches, and after a while, the dead branches were lit together with the burning newspaper.
Looking at the fire that was gradually being lit, the bearded man put a few fish skewered in his hand on a simple stand, and suddenly the aroma of grilled fish spread throughout the room, and the big belly growled uncontrollably.
The bearded man opened the flask at his waist, sat down on a single sofa on the side, took a sip, and looked at every face illuminated by the fire through the messy Liuhai in front of him.
The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, and the group of people sitting in the room didn't know what to say.
In the end, it was the bearded man who said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Everyone opened their eyes and looked at the bearded man who was drinking, and the bearded man seemed to see what everyone meant, and said, "I know what happened over there, and this." As he spoke, he took out a leaflet from the back pocket of his jeans and handed it to everyone.
"Brother Beard, we came to you for help when we were desperate, you must help us!" Yin Chenbao said as he roasted the fish on the stand.
"Yes, brother, we really don't have a place to hide now, and we're going to cause you trouble." Zhang Weimin then handed over a cigarette.
The bearded man took the cigarette and sniffed it, and said with satisfaction: "Well, the cigarette provided by the military is a good smoke." As he spoke, he twitched.
Everyone didn't understand what the bearded man meant, they all looked at him stupidly, the bearded man took a few puffs of cigarette, and said with great satisfaction: "Now that the world has changed, the information on this leaflet can only fool those who are still stupidly waiting for the government to rescue in N City." ”
Zhang Weimin understood the meaning of the bearded man's words, and hurriedly said, "What does this brother mean?" ”
"Reagent X in your hands?" The bearded man asked, looking up.
Da Zhuang and Guo Lin hurriedly brought a metal box from the ground on the side and put it in the open space next to the fire, and the bearded man immediately looked at it and said, "Haven't opened it yet?" Can you be sure it's the X reagent inside? ”
"I don't know yet, we don't have a password yet, we can't open it." Zhang Weimin looked at the numbers on the box and said.
"I'll try." Chen Wanru, who was sitting in the corner in the dark, said.
Everyone immediately turned their heads to look at Chen Wanru, who was walking towards the box, only to see her walk to the side of the box, lean over, look at the four-digit combination lock on the box, think for a moment, and then turn the numbers one by one to the four numbers of '1012', and the box opened with a 'click'.
"Isn't it!" Yin Chenbao shouted in surprise on the side.
"What's going on? How do you know the password, beautiful doctor! Da Zhuang is also confused.
Chen Wanru didn't open the box immediately, she pressed her hands on the box, lowered her head and said, "I'm sure my father must be alive now, he must still be in N City." ”
Everyone was puzzled by Chen Wanru's sudden words, and Guo Lin asked puzzledly: "Wanru, why do you say that?" ”
Chen Wanru still hadn't opened the box and said, "This password is my birthday." ”
Everyone suddenly realized, urging Chen Wanru to quickly open it to see if it was X reagent inside, Da Zhuang took off his helmet, turned on the headlamp, and held the helmet directly above the box, and everyone approached together, holding the main breath, waiting for Chen Wanru to open the box.
Scar Man did not return to the factory camp, he and his men drove directly to the largest security zone in the city in the east of the city, which was built in the dormitory of a university in the east of the city.
After the car was parked, the person in charge of the security zone and the representatives of the masses had already stood in the open space in front of the dormitory area to greet the savior in their minds, before the supply of materials in the security zone has always been under the special care of the scar man, since the establishment of here, food, medicine and daily necessities have always been the first batch to be delivered on time, so the people here have always taken the scar man as a life-saving benefactor, as a sturdy man in the conditional safety zone is also called by the scar man, becoming an important labor force for him to build the camp.
The people here were convinced of what the leaflet said, and after seeing the scar boy coming, they all volunteered to rush to him, hoping to participate in the extermination of these people who stole important national scientific research achievements.
Seeing such high morale of the masses, the scar man was very excited, and a large number of people were about to die for themselves, which was the purpose of his coming here this time.
The person in charge of the security zone handed over a megaphone that had been prepared for him, and he immediately took it and issued a "mobilization order" that he had temporarily organized on the road.
The so-called mobilization speech of about half an hour is actually just for the security zone to spontaneously organize a search and arrest team to search for the whereabouts of the Doomsday Action Team and the Pang Team throughout the process, recapture the X agent, and exterminate this group of people at the right time.
The crowd below listened to the excitement, and they all asked to start this operation immediately, because this operation will be equipped with guns, which makes many people who have not touched the gun come to the spirit again and again, but guns are not distributed at will, and the people they participate in the search must go through strict training and assessment before they are qualified to own, and the number of guns is also limited, taking ten people as an example, the group of ten people is likely to only be assigned one or two, or it depends on the ability of the group members, and the rest of the people can only use machetes, Weapons such as sticks.
Despite this, it was still bravely signed up by the masses, after all, in this last days, everyone is still eager for the temptation of guns.
To the surprise of the scar man, in addition to the young and strong young man, there were also 60-year-old people and even many girls and women, which made him happy in his heart, looking at these people in front of him who rushed to work for him, he actually had an inexplicable sense of vanity in his heart, fantasizing about what it would be like to rule the last days.
In the corner of the square, a lean, dark-skinned man wearing a tight dark blue V-neck T-shirt, dark slim jeans, and black military boots stared at the scarred man in the center of the square, his hair was tied behind his head in a dirty braid because he had not been braided for months, although it was a single eyelid, his eyes were very sharp, and a wooden strip in his hand was sharpened with an extremely sharp military dagger on his bandaged hand.
After listening to Scar Man's so-called mobilization speech, he picked up a leaflet from the ground, stuck the dagger in his hand into the wall on the side, and then turned around and walked towards the dormitory building.
