Chapter 20: The Gang's Lair

The gang marched north for eight days, and the city of A28 finally came into view.

The most painful person along the way is Amiko, she hasn't spoken to anyone for eight days, she feels like she has spider webs in her mouth, and it's not easy to hide traces, there are more plains and wetlands on the way, not to mention, she has to watch out for the back according to what Zhou Zhen said, although she hasn't found anything abnormal behind it.

Continuing north through the A28, you enter the mountains, an area that no logistics carriage will enter, the primeval forest is so vast that you can't see a ray of sunlight after a long day of trekking, every stone is covered with green moss, and the dark grass hides the pupils of wild beasts.

In addition to taking care of the wagons that occasionally sink into mud puddles, the group also has to chase away the monkeys that covet food, and avoid insects and small snakes falling from the trees.

Amiko couldn't see Zhou Zhen and the gang, so she could only find the road they stepped on and move forward with difficulty, and she had scolded Zhou Zhen thousands of times in her heart, not knowing where he was going.

It wasn't until the third day after entering the mountain that I finally encountered some signs of civilization, a rusty warning sign hanging on a tree on the side of the road, and the warning sign read in black letters on a yellow background: "Military restricted area, trespassers will be killed." ”

The bandit convoy passed by the warning sign unexpectedly, but Amiko froze in front of the sign, she was too familiar with such a thing, and she finally understood that the destination of this trip was the place where she desperately fled back then, the bandit barracks.

Because of the continuous crackdown of the corporate alliance, the bandits will continue to move the barracks, and the control of entry and exit is also very strict, without insiders to lead the way, it is indeed difficult to find, Amiko can't help but admire Zhou's wit.

But after thinking about it, Zhou Zhen arranged everything, which meant that she didn't become stronger than him, and she didn't even have the courage to return to the bandit barracks, and she didn't dare to step into the nightmarish memories again.

Have you been abandoned by Zhou Zhen again? Unable to be sure, Amiko turned back into the dense forest, found an upstream stream, and set up a tent with branches and a rain tarpaulin.

Eating the cold, nutritious food, she suddenly lost her voice and began to cry bitterly, crying until her mind was dizzy and she couldn't swallow, the smell of rotten earth filled her lungs, and finally she fell into a deep sleep that could not be suppressed.

...

The bandit barracks occupy a basin in the heart of the primeval forest, surrounded by a concrete wall camouflaged with vegetation, with light and heavy machine guns that are almost extinct from the outside world, and high-speed guns in good condition have their barrels sticking out of the holes, and access is required through a tunnel under the wall.

Zhou Zhen secretly sighed in his heart, it is already difficult to find this place, and it is even more difficult to conquer it, no wonder the enterprise alliance has not been able to eliminate the bandits for nearly half a century.

With H's full name and body without an ID chip, Zhou Zhen passed the inspection of the three checkpoints in the tunnel.

Entering the barracks, he was a little confused for a while, the stretching green tents, the busy field hospitals, and the old-fashioned military uniforms in his eyes, everything was so familiar and like a world away, as if he had traveled back to the time of the energy war.

The leader was a warm-hearted person, led him to the tent where H lived before leaving, he opened the curtain, H was arranging his curly hair in front of a small mirror, Zhou Zhen coughed, H looked back at him, frowned, and then turned his head to continue to apply hair oil.

After about a few seconds, he suddenly jumped up: "Who are you!" Where's your military uniform? How did you get in here? ”

H held the mirror and pointed at Zhou Qian, as if it was a gun.

"Put it down, H. Abdulaevich, you can't beat me, it's the same with a mirror or not." Zhou Zhen said with a smile.

H looked at the object he was holding, and realized that it was indeed not a pistol, he hurriedly threw the mirror at Zhou Qian, and shouted while rushing to the hanger with the holster: "Guard! ”

A young bandit rushed in with a rifle, Zhou Zhen quickly took a step back, the barrel of the bandit just grazed his left arm, he reached out and grabbed the barrel without looking back, and pulled forward, the bandit took off the gun on foot, the center of gravity was unstable, and he crashed directly into H's arms, and the two rolled on the ground.

Zhou Zhen put the rifle across his chest, pulled the bolt and withdrew the bullet, and threw it in front of the two: "It's okay to mix, H, there are guards?" ”

"Who the hell are you?" H was hit hard this time, he couldn't stand up with his hands on his waist, his sticky head was covered with mud and dust, and he had a dirty comb stuck in it.

"Armored Rats, you've seen me, outside the Old City, about three months ago, you took a picture of my T-shirt." Zhou Zhen reminded.

"Huh? It's you? The energy hunter who gave us medicine for wounds? ”

H struggled to stand up, walked up to Zhou Zhen and looked up and down, pinched his chin and muttered in a low voice: "Hmm... Asian, twenty or thirty years old, mediocre in appearance is not as handsome as me, all of them match, but I always feel that what is not like it? ”

"That's because you have a bad brain, the last time we met, you actually thought I was a drug dealer, this level of intelligence, it's normal to not remember what I look like."

Zhou Zhen pointed to his head.

"Uh... I do... Okay, that's right, it's really you, I remember your name, your name is Zhou Qian, right? ”

H was very self-aware, and was easily convinced, turned around and waved his hand to the grizzled guard: "You! Go out and run two kilometers with a gun for Lao Tzu! ”

The guard bowed to him apologetically, picked up his gun and ran out of the tent.

H handed Zhou Zhen a maza, sat on the bed, patted the dust on his body and said: "Speaking of which, I have to thank you, if you hadn't killed my company commander that day, it is estimated that my company deputy would have to stay up for five years before he became a regular." ”

"Your robes are shallow enough." Zhou Zhen scoffed.

But H didn't hear the mockery, and nodded solemnly: "It's quite shallow, there are more than a thousand people here, except for a few old guys who have fought in the energy war and more than a hundred fanatics, the others are forcibly pulled from the unemployed, our company commander is a fanatic, he has been the company commander for half a year, and half of our company's robes are dead." ”

Seeing that H raised his head and looked at the top of the tent, obviously wanting to continue to remember the bittersweet thoughts, Zhou Zhen reminded with a smile: "Don't you ask me why I came to you?" ”

As soon as he reminded him, H immediately came back to his senses, hurriedly moved his body to the depths of the bed, and his tone became a little panicked: "Yes, why did you come to me?" I've already brought my words to General Bernard, and I haven't robbed anyone from the Armored Squirrel Company since! ”

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm not here to kill you."

Zhou Zhen leaned forward and patted H's thigh to comfort: "I'm here to ask you for help, and I want you to help me introduce someone." ”

"Oh, it's easy to say, who to refer?" H is a little calmer.

"General Bernard." Zhou Zhen replied.

"Who?" H's mouth opened wide and he didn't seem to hear clearly.

"General Bernard!" The circumference improves the voice.

H waved his hand again and again: "What are you looking for him, if you want to enlist in the army, I can help you do it, General Bernard is over eighty, his brain is sometimes clear and sometimes confused, and his temper is still very bad. ”

Zhou Zhen smiled, stood up and whispered in H's ear: "You go and tell General Bernard that he is looking for him as an old friend from the Battle of Moscow, and I brought his daughter back." ”

H looked embarrassed: "Brother Zhou, it's not that I won't help you, General Bernard never leaves his gun, and he has killed several staff officers, and no one dares to go to him." ”

"Don't be afraid, you just tell me what you say, and I will guarantee that you can still be promoted." Zhou Zhen helped H dust off the epaulettes.

"You let me think about it..."H was still hesitating, and Zhou Zhen kicked him out of bed.

"Think of a fart, go now, it's dangerous for his daughter to be late, add this sentence too!"

H sat on the ground and froze for a few seconds, then stood up and ran out of the tent.

Zhou Zhen put away Maza, lay down on H's bed and stretched his waist, the difficult trek was too tiring, and in less than a minute, he snored.
