Chapter 21 Willing to be a lobbyist

The abruptness of the air raid siren made people's hearts stir, and I secretly wondered, just now I said that all forces want to destroy this place, is this coming to the air raid?

Gotta go! I thought to myself, but this place has an unobstructed view, and it's hard to say that you won't be stared at if you drive, but hiding in a tent doesn't seem to be an option.

Chang Cheng laughed and said, "Don't panic, this is not an alarm!" After that, he looked at Xiaohua and Lu Yan meaningfully.

At this time, everyone was a little flustered, and the two who could be called calm were Lu Yan and Xiaohua. I felt a little embarrassed and asked, "Why is this not an alarm?" ”

"This siren, one is a call for dinner, and the other is to transmit a signal to the city!" Chang Cheng explained.

I think his explanation is a bit untrue, no matter how poor this place is, there should be two pieces of the table, and it is still necessary to have such a big fanfare for a meal? Transmitting signals is even more ridiculous, even if there is no satellite phone or anything, at least the city is still there, and it is not difficult to pull a telephone line. I'm afraid this Chang Cheng is still testing our reaction, and Lu Yan and Xiaohua are distinguished.

"Old Man Chang, I haven't introduced you to a few ...... here" I introduced them one by one, and their origins and identities were somewhat untrue, but when Lu Yan was mentioned, he said that he was a disabled veteran and had been on the battlefield. As for Xiaohua, his outfit really doesn't match his military status, so I have to say that he is deaf.

Chang Cheng nodded to them, and I don't know if he believed this explanation.

"Everyone, let's go out for a walk with me, and see a different kind of human affection." Chang Cheng seemed to be asking for our opinion, but he didn't listen to the answer, put on his coat and limped towards the door.

Xiaohua glared at me from behind, and I smiled at him and walked out.

Our car was parked on the side of the tent, and two big men with bleeding heads walked around intentionally or unintentionally, looking at me and nodding at me. I nodded at them, and said to myself, "Is this a house arrest?"

Chang Cheng explained on the side: "Our people here are really poor, I don't arrange two people here, I'm afraid the car will be carried away for you!" ”

I nodded and smiled, indicating that I didn't think much about it, Chang Cheng pointed to his rickshaw and asked, "There are too many people to sit down, how about we walk?" ”

"Why don't you take my car?"

"No, look at my legs, I sat in your car, and you still can't sit down?"

I looked down and saw that it was indeed one of Chang Cheng's legs that kept bleeding downward, the entire trouser tube was soaked, and there were bloody footprints on the ground.

"It's okay, you can take the car, walk with me like this, we can't bear to ......"

Chang Cheng interrupted me with a wave of his hand, raised his leg and walked forward again, "That car, I really can't refuse, and the foot disease is really bad for walking, so I agreed." I drove the car for more than 20 years before the cataclysm, but in order to make it easier for them, I removed everything that could be removed from the car. Chang Cheng pointed to the side of the road, and I saw an engine and exhaust thrown there, and the oil drum seemed to have been changed into a bucket, and there was an ice lump in it.

I didn't know what he meant by saying this, and I didn't know what to say, so I had to keep quiet.

"In the current Chang'an City, there are two people in charge in name, I am on the outside and Mayor Xiang on the inside. The people of the city feel that they are suffering and suffering in it, and I am here to be a blessing. We people here also feel that we are here to protect their safety half-dead, and we have a lot of resentment. ”

"It's inevitable......" I pondered.

"You don't understand, I can control the things here, they all listen to me, but in the city, there is a woman in the mayor, she can't control it!" Chang Cheng shook his head and said, "The current situation is getting worse and worse!" A group of people in the city want to reduce the food supply to the outside world, but the current supply can only be regarded as barely living, if the share is reduced according to their share, half of the people here will starve to death! ”

I don't know what to say, I didn't expect there to be such a story in it, aside from my suspicion of Chang Cheng, what he did, I admire it very much. But people are like this, their own unsatisfactory is always more than others, and this unsatisfactory is all to blame on others.

"You can see that we are the barrier of the city, and if the share of food is reduced, this barrier will become useless, and one day the president of the army of Gejia will go straight in and kill everyone in the city, and it is not a pity for those people to die, even if it is to the mayor...... To be dead is to be dead, but we finally have this little hope, and we can't bury it in the hands of these people! ”

"What are you going to do?" I had made up my mind not to be idle, but listening to what he said, I couldn't help but interject.

"I can't help it!" Chang Cheng said, "In order to prevent infection, we people can't enter the city, this is the dead rule I set at that time. We can't get into the city, they won't come, and what I say won't work. ”

"You want us to tell you about it?" I tentatively thought that this was obviously what they meant, so I didn't have to wait for them to bring it up, and I was really willing to do it.

"Would you like to?" Chang Cheng stopped and stared at me.

"Did I say it worked?" I asked rhetorically.

"There's always one more voice!"

"I still need to think about it." I thought about it for a moment, and then half-jokingly said, "Who knows if you're going to be burned on a pillar?" ”

Chang Cheng smiled, "The front is the place where the food is distributed, go over and take a look!" ”

Sure enough, there was a large group of people standing not far in front, there must be as many as three or five hundred, and there were many large baskets behind a small table, and it was impossible to see what was quickly passed to the table and taken away by those people.

Although there were many people and the tables were small, there was no crowd or queue, all of them stood quietly and disorganized, the same skin, the same filth, the same foul wounds, silent and solemn.

As we got closer, someone noticed Chang Cheng's arrival, and the inexplicable heat began to appear in his eyes, and Chang Cheng waved his hand and motioned for them to continue.

When they saw us, they began to get a little agitated, but they soon calmed down and just peeked at us from time to time.

Four cans without labels, a small plastic bag with white stuff that I don't know if it's rice or noodles, and three things that I don't know if it's a big mouse or a rabbit. A man with a swollen back that looked like a pot picked up these things and bowed to Chang Cheng laboriously before walking away.

There are a lot of these things, enough for me to eat for a day, and it doesn't seem to be as difficult as Chang Cheng said.

"How long have you been eating these?" I decided to ask.

"Eat for a day!" Chang Cheng looked at the people who received the things, "Six people eat a day!" ”

"So little?" I was shocked, this is really just hanging and not dying.

"The quota is even less, those voles are still called by ourselves, and now there are fewer and fewer of them, and I heard that there are no living creatures left in places with many people along the coast, and it is a matter of time here."

"I'm willing to help you!"

"What about your friends? You don't have to ask? ”

"No, they'll be willing!" I say.
