Chapter 44: Drinking and Feasting

Most of the more than 1,000 soldiers of the Enterprise Alliance came from the A834 military fortress.

Knowing of Kronos' conspiracy and fearing that the bandits would detonate an antimatter bomb, the soldiers had no intention of returning to the A834 mixed camp, but instead retreated to the city under the jurisdiction of their company.

This gave Zhou Zhen and the gang the advantage of killing two birds with one stone, the A834 defense was extremely empty, and there was no reinforcement in a short time; The enterprise coalition forces looked like they were separated, and the siege of the barracks was completely lifted.

There is also a third advantage, which is related to Zhou Zhen and the Armored Rat Company, and as a reward for the favor, the priestess promised that he would do his best to convince the goddess of Nun Logistics to support the Armored Rat Company to become the fifth governing company at the expanded meeting of the Enterprise Alliance.

"Dad, what's so colorful on your lips?"

Zhou Zhen was holding a wine bottle and smoking a cigarette in the tent, thinking about the plan to raid A834, Amiko lifted the door curtain and got in, and asked without a beginning.

"Ahh It may have been rubbed while drilling in the woods. ”

Zhou Zhen hurriedly wiped the remaining oil paint on his mouth, and the feeling of turning the river and sea in his stomach hit again.

A few hours ago, he had just received one of the most important kisses in his life.

At that time, after being kissed by the priestess unexpectedly, Zhou Zhen suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he licked the oil paint on the corner of his mouth, changed the topic and asked: "Why is your oil paint fragrant, the taste is quite sweet, and it is not very different from what I have used." ”

The priestess's turquoise pupils shone with clear waves, and she replied in a soft tone, "In C09, we all use the droppings of North American muskrats as a dye base. ”

Later, under the influence of violent vomiting, Zhou's consciousness was a little blurred, and he even forgot to ask the priestess's name.

"You came to me for something?"

Zhou Zhi looked at Amiko and asked, stopping herself from continuing to remember the kiss.

Amiko gestured outside the tent.

"The gangsters and fools have a celebration banquet and told you to go to the training ground to eat together."

"Vomit ......"

Zhou Zhen vomited on the ground.

In the evening, a celebration banquet was held in the open air.

I don't know whose idea it was, but on the chair of the main seat of the first table was a mazar with a Maya box and a picture of Bernard.

Zhou Zhen sat on the left side of the main seat, and then on the left side was the visiting guest Cheng Xu, both of whom felt very embarrassed, and picked up chopsticks to face a table of delicacies.

"Old Zhou, why do I feel like I'm stealing offerings in the mourning hall?"

Cheng Xu asked in a low voice with his mouth covered.

"yes, who the did that?"

Zhou Zhen also covered his mouth and agreed, he vomited several times, and now is the time to be hungry.

Cheng Xu pouted at Lieutenant Colonel Dong on the opposite side, Zhou Zhen looked at Lieutenant Colonel Dong's red and swollen eyes, and sighed helplessly, only this subordinate who was infinitely loyal to Bernard could come up with such a bad idea.

After pouring three glasses of liquor in a row, Zhou Zhen got rid of the strange discomfort, and just swallowed a few mouthfuls of food to pad his stomach, Mozart and H stood up at the same time and coaxed, inviting Zhou Zhen to give everyone two toasts.

Zhou Zhen burped and stood up, knocked down the photo of Bernard next to him, from his point of view, the old black and white face seemed to roll his eyes, and then looked at Lieutenant Colonel Dong, this guy seemed to be crying.

Zhou Zhen was stunned for more than ten seconds, and said to Lieutenant Colonel Dong: "Old Dong, I think of one thing, the location I marked with orange smoke during the shelling just now, there are more than a dozen military vehicles there, please go and see if you can find some fission engines and nuclear materials, we can use them in our follow-up operations." ”

Before the energy war, Kronos Energy invented small nuclear fission engines, which and supporting nuclear material storage devices were designed for the military field, which are bulletproof, explosion-proof and high-temperature resistant, and easy to recycle and use many times.

Lieutenant Colonel Dong rubbed his eyes, saluted Zhou Qian, bowed to Bernard's photo, and reluctantly left the table.

After opening Lieutenant Colonel Dong, Zhou Zhen put away the Maya box, turned Bernard's photo upside down, and finally found the topic, and asked the bandits at the training ground, "How many of us died?" How many serious injuries are there? ”

H Han smiled and asked, "Boss, do you mean us or them?" ”

Zhou Zhen waved his hand unhappily: "They are all people, what do they share with each other." ”

H let out a long sigh, indicating that it was very reasonable, and then said as if endorsing: "Five hundred and eighty-three people were killed, and more than three hundred people were seriously injured, of which more than seventy may die in a while, I will let people count it again at that time." ”

Zhou Zhen didn't understand: "What do you mean to die after a while?" ”

H explained solemnly: "The people of the enterprise did not bring in outside. ”

Zhou Zhen frowned and hammered the table: "Carry them all in, those who can be saved will be sent back, and those who can't be saved will be given a good time." ”

"Yes!"

H gave a serious salute and ran away from the main table.

Zhou Zhen took a sip of wine, and pinched a gap between his index finger and thumb: "This small place is just a speck of dust on the world map, and it is only an ink spot on the map of Area A, but more than 800 people died here, if this is a victory, this is also a ridiculous victory." ”

During the banquet, there was silence, and the bandits fought bloodily all day, but they were splashed with a basin of cold water by Zhou Zhidou.

Cheng Xu coughed a few times on the side, prompting Zhou Zhen to pay attention to the wording, but Zhou Zhen continued as if he didn't hear it: "Today's battle was caused by my decision-making mistakes, I thought that the company's attack would be an opportunity for us to train our troops, but it almost caused us a catastrophe, I will not make such a mistake again in the future." ”

As he spoke, he poured the rest of the wine from his glass on the floor, poured another full cup, and drank it himself.

"You are fighting very bravely and tenaciously today, and the robes who are responsible for logistics and transportation are also good, but I want to say that this battle is not won by us, but lost by the company itself, and this battle at least made me realize that the enterprise alliance is not monolithic, and the rift between them is our living space, their soldiers and resources, can be used by us."

Cheng Xu suddenly squirted out a sip of wine, muttered in a low voice: "Their women can be soaked by Zhou Qian." ”

Amiko beside him didn't hear clearly, so she tugged at the corner of his clothes and asked, "Uncle Cheng, what woman?" ”

Zhou Zhen hurriedly raised his voice and covered the conversation between the two with his voice: "So, in the future, we will try to kill less people and use more people, destroy less and build more, A834 defense emptiness can be captured, this military fortress will be our new home, with A834 as the cornerstone, we will build military camps and hospitals, plantations and breeding farms, communication bases, maybe kindergartens, schools, power stations, where we will build a city." ”

The bandits cheered and applauded with a tsunami, and the wine bottles and rice bowls clanged, they had not won a battle for a long time, and the victors were always tolerant, and the victors were more likely to believe in hope.

He turned to Mozart as he spoke: "Gather your men after dinner, we will leave at four o'clock in the morning, the others will pack up the barracks supplies, move in five days, we will take the A834 and wait for you." ”

...

Ten o'clock at night, bunker, Bernard's office.

Zhou Zhen turned out two bottles of Bernard's private collection of good wine, fried a plate of rabbit meat with mountain herbs, and a plate of dogwood mixed with beef jerky, and Amiko and Cheng Xu accompanied him for supper.

"After drinking this glass, I'll pack up my things and leave, I need to send my old rival to A01."

The wrinkles and gaps on Cheng Xu's face were glowing red, and his tongue couldn't be straightened.

Zhou Zhen waved his hand to stop him: "Don't worry, let him stay in the box for a few more days, I can't see it and don't worry about it." ”

"You..."

Amiko put down the marble soda in her hand, stared at Zhou Zhi and stopped.

Cheng Xu looked at her drunkenly, and asked with a smile: "Zhong Xiaoguang, Bernard, the two of you can only live one, who do you choose?" ”

Amiko also laughed at him twice, Cheng Xu's beard fell from the roots, and he was shaved into a goatee in a blink of an eye.

Cheng Xu's smile froze on his face, and he hurriedly reached out to cover the wine glass to prevent the stubble from falling into the wine.

"Stop, stop! Twenty years of brandy! ”

"Why don't you cover your face?"

Amiko asked curiously.

"I'm shameless, I want this wine!"

Cheng Xu picked up the chopsticks and dipped the stubble in the cup one by one.

"Lao Cheng, does Xiao Zhong have a portable terminal?"

Zhou Zhen interrupted the argument between the two.

"Yes, there is a special line, encrypted."

Cheng Xu blew away the stubble like drinking tea, and took a sip of wine carefully.

"Make a voice call to him and turn on speakerphone."

Half a minute later, Zhong Xiaoguang's voice came from the speaker.

"Lao Cheng, you finally contacted me, Amiko is not injured, right? Is Lao Zhou okay? ”

Cheng Xu was about to answer, but Zhou Zhen covered his mouth.

"Xiao Zhong, you have to hold on, Amiko she..."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and Amiko's face became redder and redder, and she kept throwing vegetables into her mouth with her head buried in her.

“... Old Zhou, are the rest of you alright? ”

Zhong Xiaoguang tried to pretend to be emotionally stable.

"We're all fine, it's just Amiko..."

Zhou Zhen choked and covered his nose.

“... Well. ”

Zhong Xiaoguang's tone was low.

"She's been eating and eating, and she's already fat."

A chopstick hit Zhou Zhi's head.

"Hey, little bald, I'm still alive, I'm in good shape, don't listen to their nonsense."

Amiko leaned on the table and reminded loudly

"Old Zhou, you fuck!"

Zhong Xiaoguang scolded in surprise. "You old guy has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, say it."

Zhou Zhen laughed, gasped for a while before returning to normal, he leaned close to the terminal microphone and said, "I plan to give a huge gift to the Armored Mouse Company, think about how to repay me." ”
