"Huh!"
After hearing the squad leader's inquiry, Chen Ran smiled noncommittally, did not deny it, and did not admit it.
However, in the eyes of the other party, this is already admitted.
Therefore, the squad leader of the local survivor forces immediately became more respectful to Chen Ran.
In troubled times, who do not want to be able to meet the troops and get their help.
Then, while taking Chen Ran upstairs, he introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Zhou Yueming. Hehe, speaking of which, we still have a bit of a relationship. I used to be a public servant. I used to be a clerk in the official land department of our Zhangge Town! ”
At this time, Zhou Yueming had completely regarded Chen Ran as a member of the army. There is a non-stop set of almost.
As for Chen Ran, in the past, if someone misunderstood that they were soldiers, Chen Ran would usually explain the situation to them and let them know that they were not from the army.
That's to let those people know that Chen Ran has no obligation to save them plainly.
But at this moment, Chen Ran was alone, and the situation of the other party was still clear. The identity of a soldier is still more useful and can play a certain deterrent role.
So he didn't deny it.
At this time, after hearing Zhou Yueming's words, Chen Ran couldn't help but pretend to care and nodded, and then asked him a little inadvertently: "Then you are here, is it a shelter officially established by the town?" ”
In fact, Chen Ran knew that this should not be a refuge led by official forces.
Don't let me call the leaders here by the names of "big brother", "boss" and "brother Rui".
The reason why he asked this was just to follow Zhou Yueming's words, so as to follow Zhou Yueming's words.
Sure enough, Zhou Yueming then shook his head and said: "Where, the town office is long gone, we are all survivors in the vicinity, and it was Brother Rui who took us to hide here to build a shelter." ”
"Who is Brother Rui?" Chen Ran asked with some confusion.
Seeing that Chen Ran asked about Brother Rui, Zhou Yueming immediately began to introduce with some eyebrows: "Speaking of Brother Rui, that is a well-known figure in our area in the past. ”
Zhou Yueming continued: "He used to be the richest man in our town, with transportation companies, pawn shops, restaurants, KTVs, Internet cafes and many other companies under his name, and he even did real estate business. The only real estate in our town was developed by him. And he is also kind to others, and he is a well-known philanthropist here. Half of the money for the renovation of this elementary school the year before last was from him, and he is a very good person! ”
After speaking, Zhou Yueming's eyes couldn't help but roll.
Especially when he saw that Chen Ran had a pistol on his body, his eyes couldn't help but show some heat.
Then, he couldn't help but ask Chen Ran: "This brother, is your army around here?" Why is it so late that you would come out and act alone? ”
At this time, Chen Ran replied: "I was separated from our troops, and now I am going to prepare to join the troops, just passing by here." ”
Chen Ran would not say that his "big army" was waiting for him at the entrance of the highway in front.
Some of the people here didn't seem to be very clean in the past, and Chen Ran's convoy was not collected. So he didn't want to take these people with him.
"Oh! I see! At this time, after Zhou Yueming knew that Chen Ran and his "troops" were separated, he couldn't help but roll his eyes again, and then suggested: "If you don't brother, don't go!" You probably don't even know where your troops are going now. It's so dangerous out there, so why don't you stay and live with us. Brother Rui attaches great importance to talents, and if a soldier like you stays, Brother Rui will definitely not treat you badly. When the catastrophe is over, it's not too late for you to return to the army! ”
Regarding Zhou Yueming's words, Chen Ran listened to half and believed half of it.
This person named Brother Rui may have done a lot of business in the local area before.
But to say that he is a good person and a good person, it is estimated that he is talking nonsense with his eyes open.
From the current names of several people towards him, it can be seen that this person named Brother Rui will definitely not be a completely serious businessman in the past.
This Zhou Yueming is also very problematic about his attitude towards Brother Rui.
It seems that the public servant of a town office would work so hard to say good things for a member of society, and it seems that it is not as simple as worship.
And Chen Ran's guess is actually not wrong.
Zhou Yueming was basically Brother Rui's subordinate in the past.
In order to develop his local real estate business, Brother Rui specially arranged to work in the town's land department through the back door, in order to facilitate him to buy land and carry out demolition.
And Zhou Yueming will try to persuade Chen Ran to stay, but it is also out of consideration for his own interests.
After all, this Chen Ran doesn't seem to be weak, and he still has weapons on his body.
If he could persuade Chen Ran to stay, then his weapons would be the ones of the Vault.
Chen Ran can also be used in shelters.
Therefore, if Chen Ran can be persuaded to stay, it will definitely be a great contribution to Zhou Yueming, and Brother Rui will definitely give him no less.
As for Zhou Yueming's invitation, Chen Ran couldn't help but smile and refused: "No, I know where our big army has gone." I'm here for the night, and I'll go back tomorrow to find them. ”
"That's it!" Zhou Yueming's eyes shrank slightly, and he seemed to be slightly disappointed.
Then he no longer continued to persuade, but silently took Chen Ran to the third floor of this teaching building.
Here, Brother Rui in his mouth, as well as Wu Gui and Lao San, who were with Brother Rui before, are also there.
When Zhou Yueming saw the three of them, he immediately stepped forward and put his ear on Brother Rui's ear and whispered a few words.
briefly told Chen Ran's origin and the things that he had tried Chen Ran, but Chen Ran was unwilling to stay.
Looking at Chen Ran's equipment, Brother Rui, that is, Zhou Yongrui's face also changed several times in an instant.
There was surprise, pity, and greed, but in the end they all quickly faded into nothing.
In fact, Zhou Yueming's words also reached Chen Ran's ears word for word.
Chen Ran also roughly understood that Zhou Yueming would invite Chen Ran to stay, which was also instructed by Zhou Yongrui.
In the past, they had met other survivors who had done the same.
Let Zhou Yueming test it when he is below, if the survivor is interested, then Zhou Yongrui will send a formal invitation, and the success rate will be relatively high.
And this can also help Zhou Yongrui establish a higher prestige among the survivors.
At this time, Zhou Yongrui waited for Zhou Yueming to finish speaking, Zhou Yongrui nodded, and then said to Chen Ran: "This friend, I am glad to meet." I didn't expect you to be a soldier, it was too dark just now, and I didn't see it clearly, which is really disrespectful. I hope you don't mind! ”
