Chapter XXXII: Tentative Plans
Hideo Morisawa has been in a bad mood lately, and as an energy hunter, he hasn't received a prize for a long time.
Since the Light of Tech massacre, all the unemployed within a ten-day trip around A21 seem to be honest, and over the months, he has visited dozens of unemployed strongholds, each of which has not used energy illegally.
I can't get any benefits from the unemployed, and I want to clean up a few bandits to make some extra money, but I don't know if I look fierce or too murderous, every time I meet a bandit team on the road, I don't wait to get close to them.
Energy hunters are all owners who have no fixed home, and they have long been used to spending money without family drag, and Carry's energy is spent quickly, and the fixed salary of the Armored Squirrel Company can't support itself at all.
Early the morning before yesterday, he packed his luggage, brought a month's supplies, and prepared to make a long journey north to see if there would be any gains, but only one day after departure, he received a notice from Cheng Xu, the vice president of the company, asking him to rush back to A21 to participate in the staff meeting.
"How many years have there been no staff meetings, could it be that the company is going to be dissolved? Now it's okay, I won't even have a fixed salary in the future, and I have to struggle to find a job. ”
Mori Ze rode on the horse and beat the drum in his heart, the company has been very turbulent recently, the three partners are dead, the missing are missing, and the successor Thomas has a good reputation, and last month he jumped to Shennong Group to engage in scientific research.
"What's wrong? Morizawa, can't open the pot? ”
In the middle of the night, a man's whisper suddenly came from his ears, and he felt that someone was breathing in the back of his head, Morisawa was so frightened that he subconsciously went to his waist to pull out the gun, and when his hand touched the holster, he found that there was nothing inside, he quickly got into the saddle, and reached out to pull out the saber and cut back.
At this time, an energy card was handed to him, and Morisawa looked sideways and backwards, and at some point, there was already a stranger on the horse's hips.
This person is Zhou Zhen, who has worked with Morisawa for more than ten years, but Morisawa didn't know that he had changed his body, and he was shocked and scared and didn't know whether he should take the energy card.
"Take it, I have no ill will."
Zhou Zhen shook the energy card and comforted Sen Zedao.
"Who are you?"
Mori Ze's voice trembled, it was the first time he had encountered such a strange thing.
"Don't care who I am, do me a favor, this Baidu energy is yours."
Zhou Zhen's other hand stretched out from the other end of his body, holding a crumpled letter in his hand: "Bring this letter to Cheng Xu, please." ”
Morisawa was surrounded by this ghostly stranger, goosebumps mixed with cold sweat all over his body, and he hurriedly took the energy card and the letter.
"Who the hell are you?"
Morisawa was at a loss, holding two objects and not knowing where to put them.
"Ask Cheng Xu to go, maybe he will tell you."
Zhou Zhen lowered his arms and jumped off the horse, took out Mori Ze's pistol from his waist and threw it back to him, patted the horse's ass and signaled him to move on, and then disappeared silently without waiting for Mori Ze to ask again.
Morisawa panted for a while, after his heartbeat calmed down, his curiosity was uncontrollable, and he wanted to open the letter for a sneak peek, and then he remembered the ghostly skills of the stranger, and suddenly began to be afraid, and faintly felt that there was a pair of eyes watching him in the dark, so he had to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead and stuff the envelope into the saddle bag.
...
Two hours later, in the woods outside the A21.
Cheng Xu was dressed in black and rode a high-headed horse with a pure black body galloping over.
Zhou Zhen and the three of them were well hidden, they didn't make a fire and didn't camp, Cheng Xu turned the flashlight on and off outside the woods, repeated it three times, and after a few seconds, the woods also responded to the flashes of flashlights from the flashlights three times.
Cheng Xu found them in the direction where the flash came, and the four of them walked to a clearing where the moonlight could shine in the dark.
Cheng Xu looked at the three Asian faces in front of him and asked embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, which one is Lao Zhou?" ”
Zhou Zhen pretended to be surprised: "Old Zhou? There's no Lao Zhou here. ”
Cheng Xu's face darkened, and his hand was raised to his waist: "What are you kidding?" ”
Zhou Zhishu flashed to the close distance and gave Cheng Xu a surprise hug: "Old Cheng, don't you look at your old face, at least a hundred years older than me, are you embarrassed to call me Lao Zhou?" ”
Cheng Xu was stunned for a moment, and then punched him hard: "Scare me!" Have you ever looked in the mirror since you lived? This skin is uglier than you used to be. ”
The two looked at each other and laughed.
Zhou Zhen and Cheng Xu haven't seen each other for a few months, but they feel like they are in a different world, after greetings, Zhou Zhen introduced Lieutenant Colonel Dong and Jia Fuxing to Cheng Xu, and the four of them sat on the ground, Cheng Xu took out a few steaming pieces of roast beef from his backpack and distributed them to the hungry three.
Zhou Zhen frowned and took a bite, and swallowed it several sips of water, Cheng Xu's cooking skills maintained a consistent level, and the beef roasted smelled of charcoal.
After the three of them finished eating the barbecue like chewing wax, Zhou Zhi pulled Cheng Xu to find a secluded place alone.
"What about the people I choose?" Zhou asked as he rinsed his mouth.
Cheng Xu patted the prosthetic leg with a click: "It's really yours, Zhong Xiaoguang, this guy has a bit of Hayes flavor, I chatted with him all night last night, I was thoughtful, I didn't leave any room, and it is estimated that tomorrow will set off a bloody storm in the company." ”
Zhou Zhen was relieved, Cheng Xu couldn't barbecue, and he was quite accurate in looking at people: "That's good, but you still have to worry about it, he is young after all, and he is still a little reckless." ”
Cheng Xu nodded and handed the backpack to Zhou Qian: "It's wrapped in me, I brought you everything you want." ”
Zhou Zhen checked the contents of the backpack, a hand-drawn sketch, an old-fashioned voice recorder, and a government-era middle school history textbook.
Zhou Zhen opened the sketch in the backpack, put the flashlight into the backpack, looked at it for a while, looked up and smiled bitterly: "Your drawing level is on par with the level of barbecue." ”
Cheng Xu snorted: "Just see it clearly, have you seen it clearly, there are two hundred people in the plantation, and the establishment of two companies, how are the three of you going to rob the grain?" ”
Zhou Zhen held his cheeks and thought for a while, and asked endlessly: "Do you have a hard time reading this book?" ”
Cheng Xu looked unhappy, raised his prosthetic leg and made a gesture to kick him: "Look down on people, right?" I dropped out of school to join the army in my sophomore year. ”
Zhou Zhen was relieved, it seemed that Cheng Xu was not affected by the total nutrition food, he took out the history book and voice recorder and handed it over: "Old Cheng, do me a favor again, read this book, record it, and record it for twenty minutes." ”
"Huh?"
Cheng Xu had never helped so strangely.
"What are you doing, telling stories to children? I can't do that. ”
"You can, your Esperanto is much more standard than me, and I've always felt that you are a natural announcer material, and it's too condescending to be an energy hunter."
Zhou Zhen clenched his fist with one hand, raised his elbow, and made a cheering gesture for him.
Cheng Xu took it helplessly, and asked while fiddling with the recorder: "Why are you reading this?" ”
"I'll go and explain it to them."
Zhou Zhen said and walked towards Lieutenant Colonel Dong and Jia Fuxing.
Half an hour later, Zhou Zhen took the recorder from Cheng Xu's hand, Lieutenant Colonel Dong and Jia Fuxing had already returned to the carriage, still the same as before, Jia Fuxing was sitting in the carriage seat, and Lieutenant Colonel Dong was hiding in the straw pile.
Zhou Zhen put on headphones and listened to the recording, and gave Cheng Xu a thumbs up.
Cheng Xu was not encouraged, he asked worriedly, "Is it really not necessary for me to go with you?" ”
Zhou Zhen resolutely refused: "No, you hurry back to the city, Xiao Zhong is still waiting for your help." ”
He already had a plan in mind, and in this plan, having one more helper would not increase the odds of victory.
Cheng Xu sighed, and then asked a question that he would soon regret: "Do you want me to help you?" ”
Zhou Zhen snapped his fingers, and a trademark evil smile appeared on his face.
"I'm too embarrassed to say if you don't ask."
As he spoke, he took out an energy card and handed it to Cheng Xu: "Borrow one for three hundred and five hundred." ”
...
At four o'clock in the morning, when it was darkest, the three men drove to the plantation again in a horse-drawn carriage.
This time, Zhou calculated the safe distance and parked the carriage under the hillside a kilometer away.
"Colonel, will this work? It's too far. ”
Jia Fuxing squinted at the light-marked outline of the plantation.
"Probably, my eyes are bright, and when I receive my light signal, I immediately rush into the plantation at full speed, and if I send a danger signal halfway, I will immediately turn around and run, and I must be left alone."
Zhou Zhen was not completely sure, took out the sketch drawn by Cheng Xu, and used the moonlight to Jia Fuxing to make a final confirmation: "Here, the seed warehouse, here, the film warehouse, you remember these two places, you only have seven minutes for each warehouse, try to take as many as possible." ”
Jia Fuxing wrenched his hands and listened carefully, and the more he listened, the tighter his hands became.
After Zhou Zhen finished explaining, he took off the revolver and handed it to Jia Fuxing, carrying only a hunting knife and a voice recorder.
Then he gave a standard military salute to Lieutenant Colonel Dong and Jia Fuxing.
"Lieutenant Colonel Dong, Second Lieutenant Jia, put on your headphones and turn on Do Not Disturb mode!"
The two of them took out their headphones and put them on, and when they looked up again, Zhou Zhen had disappeared into the night.
